On the night of a day later, the news of the defeat of the three armies of Wu Rui, Wu Wei, and Wu Sheng reached the Jingshi, and many people would not be able to sleep this night. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info some of the Wu Dynasty officials who knew the truth were running all night, and when they confirmed whether this news was true, they began to look for their backbone.

Outside the gates of the Imperial City Palace.

Cai Jing's carriage stopped, at this time, the sky was dark, under the light of the torches at the city gate, many officials of all sizes had gathered, and when they saw the old man getting off the carriage, they all gathered around, and before he could speak, Cai Jing waved his hand, "The old man knows what you want to ask, everything will wait until I enter the palace to see His Majesty's reaction." ”

He was helped by the servant and walked a few steps forward, and when he saw a lonely figure outside the crowd, he stopped, "Huizhi, how can you stand there alone?"

Qin Hui has now entered the imperial history platform, and he probably can't get too close to other officials in terms of identity, and today everyone may gather here, and they will often be far away from everyone and isolate themselves.

Subsequently, Qin Hui replied: "Identity, I hope Ming Gong will forgive me." ”

"Know!" Cai Jing nodded, and was about to leave, when he suddenly asked him again, "What do you think about the Jurchen matter?"

Qin Hui raised his head, his posture straightened, and he looked at the old man with a solemn expression: "It depends on how Ming Gong tells His Majesty, but Huizhi thinks that people can be killed, we can recuperate, the city can be destroyed, we can rebuild, the land can be taken away, and we will work hard to take it back." But only the back can't let others bend, then it won't be straight for the rest of your life. ”

The two looked at each other for a while, Cai Jing looked at him again with an expressionless face, and said coldly: "Pedantic, if a country has no emperors, what is the use of having a backbone? Who ordered the world to resist the barbarian invasion from the south?"

Then Cai Jing didn't say anything more, turned around and went over and entered the palace gate. Qin Hui retreated to the side, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it seemed that the words he had been summoned by the emperor before had not been adopted.

He looked at the palace gate, and in it, someone was frightened.

For what the Admiral of Dongchang did, in fact, half of his heart was approved, but unfortunately, these efforts had no meaning when the Jurchen soldiers knocked on the beam.

"We're going to make peace," he sighed.

.....

Yanfu Palace.

"....Xiao Guizi, you disappointed me, 300,000 soldiers and horses, success or failure is all on you alone, what else is there to say now, I can't wait to cut off your head with my own hands now——"

Cai Jing almost ran into the palace, and the moment the little yellow door pushed open the palace door and stepped in, he heard Zhao Ji standing on the dragon court and pointing to the kneeling figure at the bottom of the stairs talking.

Subsequently, something was taken by him casually and thrown out and smashed on the other party's head, under the reflection of the firelight, Cai Jing saw the blood on Tong Guan's head, knelt there with a tired face, and didn't dare to move.

"If I could kill you, in exchange for the Jurchen retreat, I would have killed you a long time ago, Tai Yuan Chongzhen said to leave, tens of thousands of people abandoned it, you let the Jurchens drive straight down, you can afford such a crime....."

The fire candle was burning, and in the dim light, the trembling palace maid and the silent Cai Jingjing stood there quietly, listening to the reprimands of the Son of Heaven in the Dragon Court.....

Below, Tong Guan knelt and crawled two steps, crying and howling: "The official family....the slave maid is worried about the safety of His Majesty, the Jurchens are extremely cruel, even if the slave and maid block Wanyan Xiyi with their crippled bodies, but what should Wanyan Zongwang do on the East Road, he will still come over, what the slave and maid think about is just to fulfill the loyalty of a servant... Your Majesty. ”

"Vague ....." Zhao Ji spoke for a long time, listened to Tong Guan's words, and finally sat back on the dragon chair with a soft heart, and then, he looked at the old man on the other side, "Cai Qing must have also come here for the Jurchen crossing the Yellow River in the south, okay....I can't make up my mind at this moment....I want to hear your opinion." ”

The old man in the hall did not speak loudly, and said slowly: "Tong Shumi is right or wrong, in fact, it is difficult to say, maybe his starting point is good, but the process is too hasty, and then the Jurchens go south, the reason is not one person's fault, even if he killed Tong Shumi today to let His Majesty vent his anger, but the matter still cannot be solved after all." ”

When he said this, he paused, and returned to the street, "What ..... have to do now is how to resist the Jurchen Lord, and there is no way to collect the rout, but more importantly, try not to let the Jingshi get involved in the whirlpool." ”

"I can't stop the Jurchens with 300,000 horses, how can I stop the Jurchens from going south to Bianliang? They are already crossing the river, once they cross the Yellow River, whether Bianliang can hold it or not, I don't have a bottom in my heart. ”

Cai Jing glanced at the emperor above, and said further: "So, the old minister thinks that it is better to make three-handed preparations, one is to collect the rout troops and garrison the Beijing division, and the field battle can't defeat the Jurchens, but it's always okay to defend the city, right?"

"What about the other two?" Zhao Ji seemed to grasp some hope, and looked down with burning eyes.

The peace talks ..... promised the Jurchens some conditions, allowing them to take some things and go back. After all, they have just conquered the Liao State, and the country is not stable, at this time, the army to invade the south certainly has the intention of testing our Wu Dynasty, and it is more to pass on the previous war damage to the Wu Dynasty, let us pay this cost, but......this condition may be a bit big, Your Majesty must be prepared. With Cai Jing's current age, he said so much in one breath, he was a little tired, and he rested for a while, and then a waiter moved a stool for him to sit down and continue talking.

"The last one may bring shame to His Majesty, and the old minister doesn't know whether to say it or not. ”

"Speak!"

Cai Jing took a breath, "Your Majesty and the Empress left Bianliang overnight and went south to avoid the Jurchen soldiers......"

"Nonsense!" Tong Guan, who was kneeling on the side, raised his head violently, and his voice was raised.

Phew-

Zhao Ji slapped the table and glared at Tong Guan, "Shut up—are you only allowed to abandon the Taiyuan and let the Jurchens go south, and I will not be allowed to go elsewhere to direct the situation?"

Tong Guan knelt on the ground, heard the emperor be furious, and hurriedly kowtowed, "The slave doesn't dare." ”

Above, the golden sleeves of the robe are flicked.

"Get down!"

......

In the main hall, not long after Tong Guan left, a voice sounded.

"..... leave everything to Cai Qing, first send an envoy to the Jurchen side to talk about the conditions, if you can accept the range, what does it matter if I can do it once. ”

"The old minister is in order. Cai Jing bowed, and did not leave in a hurry, after talking about the state affairs, a slight smile appeared on his face, "Looking at Your Majesty's complexion today, it seems that the elixir I asked for from Lingyi Mountain is still good." ”

Zhao Ji nodded, and a smile appeared on his face, "That's true, but it's a pity that there are only three spirit pills, and after the military disaster passes, you can send someone to Lingyi Mountain to ask for some more." ”

"Yes. ”

As for delaying the fighters, the matter of determining the commander-in-chief of the three armies seems to have been forgotten, intentionally or unintentionally......

Outside the city, on the afternoon of the next day, Bai Ning finally returned to Jingshi, standing at the gate of the city and looking at the ancient city.

One man, one city.

Look at each other. (To be continued.) )
