"Gong Cao is the prime minister of the Han Dynasty. He has suppressed rebellions in various places for many years and has made great contributions to stabilizing the country. However, Liu Bei, whom you serve, is just a traitor who frequently flees here and there."

"But you took advantage of the situation and expelled Liu Zhang, the leader of Yizhou appointed by the imperial court, and plotted to seize the counties of Yizhou in order to survive. You are just recognizing the traitor as your father. How can you accuse us in turn?"

this moment.

A thick angry look appeared on Zhao Ang's face.

The man in robes stood up in anger and retorted ferociously.

He was no longer as calm as before, and was completely driven out of his mind by this topic.

Zhao Tong, who stood proudly, had a faint smile on his face.

Seeing that he has been tricked.

After pondering for a moment, he responded: "Oh, really?"

"My lord is the great-great-grandson of Emperor Xiaojing and the emperor of the Han Dynasty. Now that the world is in chaos and the imperial court has collapsed, it is my duty to support the country, bring order to the chaos, restore order, and reunify the prefectures and counties."

"I dare to ask, what does it mean to be a rebel?"

The words are spoken with precision and sound as loud as a bell.

After hearing this, Zhao Ang's group on one side couldn't help but become more and more passionate, and they were about to continue to argue, but unexpectedly Zhao Tong had already been prepared and interrupted directly:

"On the other hand, Cao Cao, who is called the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, is actually a traitor to the Han Dynasty, but you are willing to serve him. How can you have the dignity to stand in the world and call yourself a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty?"

The words were spoken loudly.

The expression on Zhao Tong's face became more and more serious.

When Zhao Ang heard this, his sword eyebrows suddenly rose with solemnity.

He seemed to feel a little unable to respond.

After thinking deeply for a long time, he seemed to have found some breakthrough point and refuted strongly: "Don't be so sophistical!"

"Since your lord is a descendant of the empress of the Han Dynasty, you should dissolve your tribe and submit to the imperial court."

"But now he has become a force of his own, colluding with thieves and causing trouble."

"How can you still have the face to go against the imperial court?"

"Hahaha...haha..."

This statement came out as soon as it came out.

Hearing his words, the smile on Zhao Tong's face grew thicker.

Zhao Ying from the side felt something bad on his face when he saw this.

My father’s words were probably expected!

Although she meant to remind her, even if she helped her father win the argument, it would not make the slightest sense.

After thinking about it for a while, I chose to remain silent and wait and see.

After a while, Zhao Tong slowly put away the smile on his face and responded in a solemn tone: "But I'm afraid the general doesn't know that Cao Cao is not a random talk by us, but a gift from today's emperor."

"Huh? How can the emperor issue such an edict when he lives in a deep palace?"

At this point, the discourse has reached this stage.

Zhao Ang also refused to give in and insisted on being tough.

He asked in a fierce tone.

In his opinion, if Prime Minister Cao Cao is really the powerful official who dominates the court, he will definitely monitor the palace. How can the emperor have the power to pass the edict to all parties?

Also thinking of this, he felt that what Zhao Tong said was nothing more than lies and was definitely not true.

However, Zhao Ang's current reaction was all within his expectations.

Judging from his demeanor, he realized that at this moment, Zhao Ang was no longer trying to defend whether he was a loyal man, but was instead fighting for his own face.

Even if what he said was true, he was unwilling to admit that the court he had served for many years was actually controlled by Han thieves.

Faced with this thought.

Zhao Tong smiled and said: "I wonder if the general is pretending not to know, or has he lived here in the western border of Liangzhou for a long time and is not aware of the changes in the court?"

"But in the fifth year of Jian'an, the emperor wrote a blood-stained edict in his handwriting, and ordered his close servant Dong Cheng to secretly contact the loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty headed by my lord to attack Cao Cao."

"I wonder if the court that the general worships today is the emperor, or is it the traitor Cao who bullies the emperor and monopolizes the court?"

Each word slowly settled down.

Although Zhao Tong spoke in an extremely calm tone at this moment, there was no disturbance at all, and his whole expression did not change at all.

But as soon as these words came to an end.

Zhao Ang's state of mind suddenly changed.

He seemed to feel the pressure in his words.

It made him unable to respond anymore.

Could he still say that the emperor's blood-stained edict was unwarranted?

It is not the way for a minister to openly question the authenticity of the edict.

At least Zhao Ang, who always boasted that he was a loyal person to the court, could not refute like this.

I was speechless for a while.

Seeing his sudden silence, Zhao Tong couldn't help but feel more confident, and he said again happily: "By the way, the general may still be lucky now, right?"

"Do you doubt the authenticity of the blood edict on clothes and belts?"

As for this, seeing that the thoughts deep in his heart were revealed, Zhao Ang unconsciously felt a little guilty on his face, so he forced himself to calm down and kept silent.

To show composure.

But Zhao Tong's next words completely cut off his illusions.

"Previously, Cao Cao's thieves ignored the etiquette and laws of the Han Dynasty and forced the emperor to establish himself as a duke. He also used Hebei, Wei County and other surrounding areas as a fiefdom, calling him Wei Gong."

"I would like to know how Emperor Gaozu swore the oath when he killed the White Horse?"

"With such behavior, is he worthy of being the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty who supports the country?"

At this point, Zhao Ang's face was full of anger at first, and gradually he looked a little guilty. At this time, he showed a slight weakness, and lost the confidence to argue again.

That’s probably because what I said just now is the most important thing.

Even those who are eloquent and eloquent may not be able to reason.

At this moment, Zhao Tong has completely occupied the high point of righteousness.

He didn't know how to respond for a moment?

after all.

The act of professing justice is indeed its stain.

Zhao Ang stared at Zhao Tong quietly for a moment. Seeing that there was still a deep smile on his face, he also reacted instantly. If he continued to answer this time, he would still be humiliating himself, right?

Naturally, he had heard about the incident of arrogating the title of Wei Gong, which was not a small incident!

And he also heard some shocking news.

That is, he followed the Prime Minister Cao Cao for about decades, worked hard and made great achievements, recommended talents for him, and formulated strategies to pacify the northern states. It can be said that Xun Yu, who worked hard and made great achievements, only firmly opposed the title of Duke.

He seemed to be alienated until he died of grief and anger due to persecution.

Zhao Tong now talked about this matter. Although Zhao Ang was extremely reluctant to admit it, he completely lost the debate.

All of a sudden.

His face looked downcast, and some of his face looked ashen.

Now that he was unable to argue that Cao Cao was not a Han traitor, even if he could return alive this time, he would not have the confidence to serve the court controlled by the Cao family.

Otherwise, his long-maintained reputation as a court loyalist will be destroyed.

Looking at this face, Zhao Ying's face became more and more sad. She finally couldn't bear it, and gently pulled the robe around Zhao Tong's waist with her jade hands, and whispered softly:

"General, my father has accepted this fact, so please don't..."

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a strong pleading in her tone.

See the situation.

Zhao Tong was also aware of this and knew that his goal had been achieved. There was little point in continuing to fight with him, so he just went along with the flow and nodded in agreement.

"General Zhao Ang, I have just given a thorough explanation of the cause and effect of this matter."

"You have always thought of yourself as the pillar of the country and the loyal man of the Han Dynasty."

"Next, the choice is entirely up to you. Whether you choose to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side and revive the Han Dynasty together with my lord, or whether you choose to continue to be loyal to the so-called imperial court in your heart and be the disloyal and unjust person."

After saying that, Zhao Tong turned his head and said softly: "A Ying, I will let you reunite with Nai's father in the remaining time."

The words just fell.
