Chapter 531: Imperial Discussion
Bai Qi looked at the ministers of the Song State, and finally stopped his eyes on the Emperor of the Song State, and said word by word: "I am here to persuade him to surrender." ”
Just these eight words caused an uproar in the Song Kingdom.
There were many ministers who were full of righteous indignation, but they were afraid of the force of Wei in their hearts, and did not dare to show the slightest sign of anger.
Bai Qi straightened his body.
He felt the anger of the Song ministers.
However, the angrier the better.
The more angry they were, the more the ministers of the Song State were palpitating the Wei State.
They originally thought that Wei sent an envoy to discuss the matter of making Song pay compensation after the war, but they never expected that they would come to persuade him to surrender.
No matter how cowardly a country is, but the country's system still exists, there is no room for trampling!
though
The State of Wei also trampled on it.
But for them, it's just that they can't resist!
Prime Minister Song walked out of the queue of hundreds of officials, stood opposite Bai Qi, and said lightly: "Do you think your envoy will agree to your request for surrender today?"
"This is not a request!"
Bai Qi said coldly: "You should know very well in your hearts that as long as our Wei army presses the border, immediately attack the city, and break through the capital of your Song Kingdom, it will only take half a day, even if you destroy the Song Kingdom, it will only be a matter of time! You should recognize the situation!"
Shen She smiled bitterly: "I don't know what the situation in your envoy's mouth, why?"
Hearing this, Bai Qi suddenly said loudly: "The condensation of the world is the trend of the times! Open your eyes and see, the situation of the division of several countries, now only you, the Song Kingdom, are still surviving, do you really think that with your Song Kingdom, you can survive the iron hoof charge of our Wei army?"
"You"
Shen She wanted to speak and stopped, and finally was speechless.
He was telling the truth.
Bai Qi didn't look at him, but looked at the Emperor of Song who was sitting on the throne of the dragon chair, and said lightly: "If you don't surrender, when the city is broken, our army will definitely slaughter the city!
Even if he was the emperor of the Song Kingdom who had the heart of surrender, he also had some disgust for Bai Qi in his heart.
But he couldn't show it.
Indeed, the trend is coming.
If you don't surrender, there is only a dead end.
The hall was full of ministers, and there was a lot of discussion.
Everyone is saying that they will not surrender.
Resolutely fight to the death.
However, more or less in my heart, I have the idea of surrendering.
The Emperor of the Song Kingdom took a deep breath, suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, and said to Bai Qi: "Your envoy has come from afar, and he must be tired when he wants to come, so it is better to go down and rest first.
His dissatisfaction with Bai Qi is mainly because Bai Qi is too arrogant and domineering.
Don't save him face at all.
As for the so-called coming from afar
It's true to attack all the way.
From the camp of the Wei army to the capital of the Song Kingdom, it is just a matter of 'a few steps'.
Bai Qi nodded, "Since this is the case, then Ben Jiang will only give you three days, and after three days, if there is no conclusion, Ben Jiang will have to let my emperor order to attack the city!"
As soon as the words landed, a eunuch, at the signal of the Emperor of the Song State, took Bai up to rest.
This eunuch had also heard of Bai Qi's great name, and when he thought that he had led him to his residence and arranged his daily life, he was also afraid!
What if this lord is dissatisfied and kills people at every turn?
According to the current situation of the country, even if he kills people in the palace, Your Majesty, they don't dare to do anything to him, right?
After Bai Qi retreated, the Emperor of Song looked at his departing back, as if he was about to be paralyzed on the dragon chair, and said: "Everyone, Aiqing, let's discuss it, what should I do about this matter?"
When the ministers heard the emperor's voice, none of them dared to be the first to answer.
They are definitely unwilling to carry such a cauldron of the country.
The Emperor of Song sighed: "If you don't want to surrender, hurry up and come up with a way, if you want to fight to the death and don't surrender, tomorrow, you all go to defend the city, don't retreat the enemy army, remember not to come down from the city." ”
The ministers all looked shocked, and although they were talking about it, they were not discussing what to do, most of them were talking about what to do.
After a long time, the emperor of the Song State couldn't stand the noise of his ministers and announced his retreat.
The next morning.
The emperor of the Song State recovered his spirit and asked his ministers again,
"You also heard the words of General Bai Qi yesterday, whether it is a war or a surrender, you have to come up with a charter, if it is a war, everyone will die together, if it is surrendered, everyone will live together, it's as simple as that, Prime Minister, you say it first. ”
The meaning of his words could not be clearer.
It means that you don't want to have a good name, and in the end it will be me who will die.
If you insist on defending the city, you will die.
Everyone dies together.
Don't let anyone die.
That's fair.
After hearing the emperor's voice, they naturally heard a little impatience.
In the end, it was Prime Minister Shen She who took the lead in speaking, "Your Majesty, otherwise, I'll wait, let's descend!"
As soon as the words landed, the ministers and even the Emperor of the Song Kingdom saw Shen She kneeling on the ground, his face showing shame.
At this time, the ministers were all stunned by the prime minister's words.
How did he say that?
There were even a few courtiers who were accusing him.
said that he was not worthy of being a prime minister.
Shen She slowly closed his eyes and was silent.
The Emperor of Song asked loudly, "Who else of you agreed to surrender?"
When the ministers heard the voice, they did not dare to talk about it.
Choose to bow your head and be silent.
However, there were a few people who were greedy for life and afraid of death, and then expressed their attitude, saying that the only way to go was surrender.
Everyone knows that now for Song Guo, there is no way out at all.
It's just that no one wants to be scolded by the Song people of later generations, poking at the backbone!
Shen She opened his eyes, slowly got up, then turned around, faced his colleagues, and tore off all their fig leafs.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today's court meeting, everyone should not hide it, you keep saying that you are unwilling to surrender, but no one knows better than the old man, you want to surrender, you can't wait to join the camp of the Wei army now!
But you can't do that! Because you are all literati, and you are all predecessors who are respected by the literary circles of the Song Kingdom, you are afraid that in the next 100 years, you will be dug up and dug up by the Song people! But do we have any other room to retreat than surrender?"
When he said this, he put the black gauze hat on his head on the ground, and continued to speak: "You have a few catties and a few taels, the old man knows best, I am afraid that the day the Wei army breaks through the city gate, you will kneel under the banner of Wei non-stop!"
But have you ever thought about it? Bai Qi said that the day the city is broken, that is, when the city is slaughtered, none of you will survive!
Do you think that after the Wei people attack in, they will only kill His Majesty alone? You are wrong! Completely wrong! When the snow-capped mountains fall, not a single snowflake is innocent, so please let go of your so-called thoughts and face the reality well!
When the ministers heard his words, their faces turned red.
After all, it was Shen She who told his heart through.
They didn't speak either.
It's like there's no face to say anything.
How can there be such a good thing in the world?
After destroying the country, you can still leave a clear name in the world, the key is that you can still live well and not die.
There is no such good thing.
Since ancient times, there have been only two outcomes, those who surrender live, and those who die die become benevolent.
