They feel that this is not Zhu Di's fault, it is the fault of King Han!

Zhu Di admitted his mistake, and all the officials were silent.

Yu Xuekui knelt at the front, raised his head, looked at the emperor on the dragon chair, and muttered in an old voice: "Your Majesty, now is not the time to discuss this, the fault of the King of Han is not your fault." ”

"The top priority is how to deal with the rebellion of the Han king."

"Whether to suppress or appease, it is up to the imperial court to make a decision."

Yu Xuekui spoke, and the officials also nodded.

On weekdays, Yu Xuekui always scares this and that, and works against Zhu Di.

But in serious matters, Yu Xuekui has never dropped the chain.

This is what Zhu Di is pleased with.

He looked at the kneeling old man and said, "What do you say should be done?" ”

Throw the question back and let Yu Xuekui answer it.

Yu Xuekui took a deep breath and muttered: "Emperor, if you let the old minister suggest, then the old minister's suggestion is to send a minister to Shandong to negotiate with the King of Han and appease the King of Han, so as not to be ruined." ”

This is Yu Xuekui's plan to retreat from the enemy.

If you want to prosper in the future, you can't have a civil war.

Moreover, in the case of civil war, with the murderous temper of King Han, I don't know how many people's families will suffer along the way.

If he can be appeased, it is naturally the best to appease, and he will slowly weaken his strength later.

It's the best of both worlds.

"Appeased?" Zhu Di frowned slightly.

"That's what you think too?" Zhu Di asked.

Yu Xuekui bowed: "If there is a war, what will the people do?" What if their family is ruined? Those who are in high positions have to think about the people. ”

That's right.

Even Zhu Di couldn't find a way to refute him for a while.

According to the temper of the king of Han, his killing will not stop, and if he keeps fighting, he does not know how many people the king of Han will kill.

Therefore, Yu Xuekui's meaning is very simple.

For the sake of the people, there must be no war, only pacification!

Last year, Yu Xuekui went to Zhejiang to inspect the plague, and when he saw so many people in Zhejiang infected with the plague and died, he broke his liver and intestines.

Now, how can you bear to let the people of the world suffer again.

Isn't it what these scholars and doctors should do to establish their lives for the people, to establish their hearts for heaven and earth, to continue their studies for the sake of the saints, and to open peace for all generations?

Readers, not fame and fortune, but for the country and the people!

If even this spirit is lost, the country will not be a country, and the nation will be divided, waiting to perish.

Zhu Di pondered for a moment and sat on the dragon chair, as if he was considering.

As the Emperor of Yongle, his son provoked him, and it stands to reason that he wanted to press hard, so that the little rabbit cub of King Han knew how powerful his father was.

However, Yu Xuekui was right, the court should take into account the safety of the people.

Thinking of this, Zhu Di bowed: "Okay, then choose a representative from among you and go and talk to King Han." ”

When the emperor spoke, the bigwigs in the civil official group immediately looked at each other.

Send someone to negotiate with the King of Han, no matter if the negotiation is good, if the negotiation is not good, it is inevitable that the head will fall to the ground and the corpse will not be returned home.

It's a life-or-death deal.

But as scholars, as bigwigs of the court, they should come forward for the major affairs of the country.

Yang Shiqi hesitated for a moment, and immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen is willing to go and appease the King of Han." ”

Who is not afraid of death?

Yang Shiqi has been studying for decades, he is young and bumpy, and he is also afraid of death!

But, he is a cabinet assistant!

He had to take on that responsibility, so he stood up resolutely.

Jian Yi also immediately stood up: "I'll go too." ”

Jian Yi is not afraid of life and death.

Xia Yuanji took a deep breath, and his eyes gradually became firm: "Let's let the minister go, the minister knows the king of Han very well, let the minister go, and he can appease the king of Han." ”

Next, civil officials continued to stand up and beg the emperor to let them go.

These are the civil officials taught by the prince.

They are not only scholars, but also contaminated with the benevolence of the prince!

Therefore, when encountering such a life-or-death event, they are still willing to stand up and be loyal to the country!

However, all of this was broken by a single sentence.

The little old man, who was kneeling at the front, suddenly muttered, "Your Majesty, let the old minister go." ”

The voice fell, and the surroundings were silent.

Yang Shiqi hurriedly said: "Scholar Yu, you are old, just recuperate at home, the major affairs of the imperial court, how can you be in command of the expedition." ”

Xia Yuanji also bowed his head and said: "Scholar Yu, you don't need it." ”

They all thought that Scholar Yu was too old, and if he went to the King of Han and his head was cut off, he was afraid that he would not even be able to get his body back.

Yu Xuekui shook his head: "The old minister is close to the age of six, the oil is exhausted, and the lamp is dry, and he will live in a few years." ”

"You are all pillars of the country, how can you take risks?"

"My last Xu Lao, for the reform of commercial taxation, crashed into the palace wall, his heart for the country and the people, the sun and the moon can be seen."

"Since I have taken his place, how can I not think of the country and the people?"

"I can't do anything about the corpse vegetarian meal."

Speaking of this, Yu Xuekui's old face was slightly moved, and his cloudy eyes gradually condensed and became firm.

He muttered: "Establish a life for the people, establish a heart for heaven and earth, continue to learn for the saints, and open a peaceful ...... for all generations."

"This is the original intention of my generation of scholars, and the old minister dare not forget it."

Taking a deep breath, Yu Xuekui raised his hands high, and then fell to the ground heavily, and the voice of vicissitudes echoed in the hall: "Please make an order from the emperor to let the old minister go to Shandong and persuade the King of Han to surrender!" ”

Zhu Di stood up, looked at Yu Xuekui, shook his head and said, "Old guy, you quarrel with me every day on weekdays, but today you are angry." ”

After a pause, Zhu Di continued: "But you are old and healthy, you should enjoy your old age at home, you don't need to do this." ”

Zhu Di refused.

Yu Xuekui raised his head, his eyes were suddenly full of tears, and he shouted in the heaviest voice: "100,000 people in Qingzhou were slaughtered, how can you let the old minister enjoy his old age in peace?" ”

"That's 100,000 lives, and how many thousands of families are ruined and killed?"

"The minister is not a beast, the minister is flesh and blood, the minister is taught by Confucianism, and he can sit back and enjoy his old age?"

After a pause, Yu Xuekui looked at the red-robed official uniform on his body and muttered: "As long as the old minister still wears this dress for a day, he should think about the people and be loyal to the country!" ”

After that, he shouted: "I implore the emperor to decree that the old minister go to Shandong and persuade the king of Han to surrender!" ”

In fact, everyone knows that the probability of persuasion is very low.

However, compared to the devastation of the living soul, even if the probability is very low, you have to give it a try.

This is the court's statement to the world, and it is also an explanation to the people.

So, someone has to go!
