Chapter four hundred and forty first parting ways
When Sun Yue returned to his big tent in a daze, Cao Bin had been waiting for a long time.
Sun Yue was not surprised by this. For such a big thing, no one spoke for the whole afternoon because no one knew what to say. To put it bluntly, it was just because he was not familiar with it and did not dare to make a statement. If he didn't talk about such a big thing at night, who could sleep?
I guess at this time, Cui Yanjin and Dangjin must have been chatting long ago.
Among the five, Cui Yanjin and Dangjin were obviously in the same wave, Cao Bin and Sun Yue were in the same wave, Pan Mei’s level was slightly lower, so he didn’t have to consider his ideas for the time being.
"You are a little out of control. The sound of yelling at Your Highness just now is too loud, and I hear it."
Sun Yue didn't avoid it, and sat down and said straight to the point: "Do you believe the official family died of illness?"
Cao Bin said: "There is a waste of money, what can I do? Whether it is a disease or a killer, I will never survive. If you want to make trouble, what other benefits can you do besides being cheaper than just a cheap Khitan? At least, the surname of King of Jin is Zhao. The Five Dynasties is over."
"Zhao Dezhao's surname is Zhao."
"Do you think he can convince the public?"
Sun Yue was silent. He also knew that since the Five Dynasties, the people have become accustomed to changing dynasties. They want to inherit the throne based on their own son alone? Not to mention ordinary soldiers, even Cao Bin is afraid that even Cao Bin will not accept it. He even took a step back and said that if Sun Yue was not prejudiced against Zhao Guangyi, would he be convinced by Zhao Dezhao?
"You mean, that's it?"
"You can say whether you recognize it or not. The most urgent task now is that the country cannot be in chaos. Although the Southern Tang Dynasty has been settled, there are still forty governors in the world, twenty of which have soldiers and real power. Although the Northern Khitan has been severely damaged in recent years, they still have millions of control strings. I will never allow the people to have been in war for more than a hundred years. The incident of Zhuangzong of Later Tang will repeat itself."
Sun Yue glanced at him coldly, then suddenly stretched out his hands and said, "Then you can arrest me now. I will never allow it. The official family died inexplicably."
"What's the meaning?"
"In the five of us, I was actually just making up the numbers. I used Wu Yue's soldiers. Although I have led Pan Mei's soldiers, most of them have gone south. If you arrest me, I don't have to worry about mutiny."
"Sun Yue, I didn't joke with you."
"Then are I just kidding you! Cao Bin, I will definitely not go back to Kaifeng. I will lead the He-Nan Imperial Guard back to Luoyang tomorrow. If I want to arrest me, it will be difficult. I will put this word today and make me loyal to the traitors, and it is absolutely impossible!"
"Do you know, what you are saying now is a rebellion?"
"It was him who rebels! If you really want to be loyal to him, then you can arrest me now!"
"You... do you think I dare not kill you with one sword?"
As he said that, Cao Bin drew his sword in anger.
Sun Yue sneered: "You can really do it by using the official sword to kill people for the thief."
Cao Bin was stunned for a moment, glanced at the Emperor Sword, and it took him a long time to fall on the chair, and then suddenly couldn't help but burst into tears.
This crying was like a valve opened in the reservoir. It was out of control. It was so crying that it was tearful and snot. It took nearly two quarters of an hour to stop. Sun Yue, who was carrying it, was also uncomfortable, and shed tears.
After a while, Cao Bin said, "I am a relative of the previous dynasty, you should know this."
"Ah, no one in the world knows."
"When the dynasty changed thirteen years ago, my family had prepared a wooden coffin for me, and I had already written a suicide note. Everything was ready, just for death. But who would have thought that I was not only fine, but I was repeatedly valued and became the prime minister today. Is the official's kindness to me shallow? Am I, Cao Bin, a ruthless and unrighteous person who does not know loyalty and filial piety? Who do you think will feel better than you when the official dies?"
“…”
"Actually, when I was in the previous dynasty, I didn't talk about personal relationships with the officials. I usually talk about face-to-face. I know that he hates me quite a bit. At first, I couldn't understand why he wanted to reuse me, but now I figured it out."
"you say."
"Because he demanded stability, just because I was a relative of the previous dynasty and had no friendship with him, he needed me to behave. It had nothing to do with likes and dislikes, but it was just for stability. At that time, the court pacified Li Yun in March and destroyed Li Chongjin in February. Zhao Song seemed to be the first to establish a country, but it was as stable as Mount Tai."
Sun Yue interrupted, "You want to tell me that you are trying to calm the hearts of the world. The officials have the grand occasion today because of tolerant and benevolence to the Chai family and the remaining ministers of the previous dynasty. Only you old ministers who are loyal to Chai Rong can put down your burdens and be loyal to the dynasty with peace of mind. At this moment, it is like at that time, if Zhao Guangyi had put on his posture, for the sake of peace and prosperity, he had to go down the road, right?"
"Yes, the government has given the people of the world something that no one can give for decades: Taiping."
"If you want peace, don't you have to be loyal and righteous?"
"The official family has collapsed. Who do you want to repay this loyalty and righteousness? Your Highness?"
"I……"
"If your loyalty is not placed on Your Highness, you will be a traitor. But if you put it on him, he will be the same piece of material. Do you still remember how you persuaded you to surrender to Wu Yue of the Southern Tang Dynasty? If there is something to do, let go of your own a hero, but if it is not done? The country, the people, ignore these things? Will your Highness be willing to let go of your own?"
Sun Yue was speechless and said for a long time: "Cao Envoy, you are really the pillar of the great Song Dynasty."
"It's not a question, but I think that the first thing we are sick and honest in our hands should be the stability of the world, and the second thing we need to protect is the reign of the Song Dynasty. Only these two can be guaranteed. Next is the time to talk about loyalty and righteousness. Sun Yue, you and I have been with each other for many years, and they are also considered our own family. I now ask you, no matter what you want to do, you must work hard to stabilize the world first, and stabilize the reign of the Song Dynasty first, then say, okay?"
Sun Yue was silent because he had nothing to say, and he didn't know what he could do if he refused. Zhao Dezhao was not good at it. Just now, as long as this guy nodded and sacrificed his head and blood in the big tent, he would just take it as avenge for Zhao Kuangyin and admit it even if he sacrificed his life. The problem is that he didn't.
So he could only ask, "What do you say about Cui Shuai and Dang Shuai?"
"I haven't talked yet, and I don't know what they were thinking, but, now, how can there be other choices?"
Sun Yue smiled bitterly, and no longer had the plan to ask. He stood up and said, "If you want to go to Kaifeng, just go by yourself. I really can't face him. Let me go first. I'll go back to Luoyang. Please tell me and Tian Qinzuo, forget it, let him go. Goodbye."
