Chapter 1889 The general will not rule the country
Bang!
Kou Si flew up into the air, flew backwards in a panic, and hit a dragon pillar on the right. Hearing a roar, the thick dragon pillar collapsed.
Suddenly, the entire court was in chaos, and many officials hurriedly avoided to avoid being crushed by the collapsed dragon pillar.
All of a sudden, everyone in the civil and military dynasties looked at the tall and tall Cang Hongshen in shock and fear.
No one expected that Cang Hongshen would actually take action in the court, and even beat Kou Si, who was also the prime minister.
Even Zhao Ziye was stunned on the spot. It was obvious that even he had not expected such a thing to happen.
Kou Si fell to the ground, covered his chest, and his breathing became rapid. He looked at Cang Hongshen in fear and said in a deep voice: "Cang Shoufu, what do you mean?"
"What do you mean? Kou Si, don't you feel ashamed, I feel ashamed for you! As the Right Chancellor of the Holy Dynasty, you are the head of the officials, and you get the benefits of the country with the imperial salary! Now the imperial court has
It’s difficult, but you have to ask His Majesty to surrender!”
Cang Hongshen's whole body erupted with a powerful momentum, like a rolling river, sweeping across the entire court, shocking the surrounding civil and military officials into silence.
Cang Hongshen's cold eyes were fixed on Kou Si, and he continued: "Being a minister has no choice but to forget about oneself because of his feelings. Why should he enjoy life and hate death? A person can stand taller and stronger.
The higher the level, the heavier the responsibility!"
"What about you? When the country was about to lose its territory, you asked His Majesty to surrender and live in an ignoble existence. So are you worthy of your official uniform and the cultivation and support the court has given you over the years?"
Kou Si roared: "Cang Shoufu! Do you have any other options? Now, our Holy Dynasty has no hope. Even for someone like you who can use soldiers like a god, isn't there nothing we can do? Then, why are we still there?
Are you going to continue to resist? Isn’t this a dead end in vain?”
Cang Hong's eyes were as bright as a torch, and he took a deep look at Kou Si and said: "Because of integrity! Because of dignity! Do you really think that if the seven coalition forces accept your Majesty's surrender, they will treat the people of the Holy Dynasty well and treat His Majesty well?"
Are you being treated politely? No, you are wrong!"
"Your Majesty surrenders, then all our ministers and the common people will become slaves of the subjugated country. We will lose our dignity, lose our integrity, and become slaves of the seven major forces, driven by them, sold by them, and even despised by them.
!”
"The ancients said that death is inevitable for everyone, and it may be heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather! I, Cang Hongshen, would rather die standing than live on my knees. And Kou Si, you said that surrendering can be treated well, but it's just you
You are so cowardly that you think they will treat you well because of this!"
Cang Hongshen's impassioned voice echoed in the court hall. For a moment, all the civil and military officials in the court couldn't help but look at Cang Hongshen.
The officials who were originally a little wavering became excited after hearing this, and they were already leaning towards Cang Hongshen.
They are all officials of the Holy Dynasty, and they receive salaries from the Holy Dynasty. Why should they abandon their dignity and surrender to the seven coalition forces?
"The words of the chief minister are very kind, and they speak to my heart! We are ministers of the Holy Dynasty, and we are also natives of the Holy Dynasty. Here are our relatives and friends, and our memories from childhood to adulthood. It is our hometown, and we
We must fight to the end to protect our homeland."
Qi Yan, the great scholar of Jianji Palace, came out and spoke out in support of Cang Hongshen.
Immediately afterwards, Pu Shi, a bachelor of Wenhua Palace, Zhong Wei, a bachelor of Wuying Palace, and Yu Luan, a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion He and Dongge University Scholar also expressed their support for Cang Hongshen.
And many officials who were still wavering finally expressed their stance. They were willing to support Cang Hongshen and agreed to fight to the death with the seven coalition forces.
A group of officials who had originally agreed with Kou Si just now, seeing that the situation was not good, also turned against Cang Hongshen.
Because they knew very well that if Cang Hongshen really took action, it would be like thunder rolling down from the sky.
Over the years, they have witnessed Cang Hongshen's methods countless times.
Kou Si's face changed slightly. He didn't expect that the officials who originally supported him would change their minds so quickly. These losers must have changed too quickly.
"Your Majesty! Kou Si is talking nonsense in the court hall for no reason and misleading the public. Your Majesty, please punish him severely!" Cang Hongshen said, cupping his fists at Zhao Ziye who was sitting on the dragon chair.
Zhao Ziye nodded approvingly to Cang Hong, very satisfied with the latter's actions, then his eyes fell sternly on Kou Si, and he said coldly: "Come here, imprison Kou Si and the six ministers in the sky prison for me.
Wait and wait!"
Immediately, the Imperial Guards guarding outside the court swarmed in and surrounded Kou Si and the six ministers.
Kou Si's face changed greatly, but he did not dare to resist, so he could only let the imperial guards use special shackles to fasten him and the six ministers.
He knew very well that if he dared to resist at this moment, he would be resisting the order, and the consequences of resisting the order would be very serious. It would be no problem for Cang Hongshen to kill him on the spot.
That's why he was detained honestly.
The six ministers also understood this truth. They were all dejected and allowed themselves to be detained.
But they are not worried because they have not acted traitorously, they just proposed this plan.
In their view, temporary detention means there is still room for maneuver.
When Kou Si and the six ministers were taken away, calm was restored in the court.
Zhao Ziye rubbed his temples, looked around at the officials in the court, and said a little tiredly: "I love you, is there any other way? As for the Kou Si method, don't mention it again. If anyone mentions it again, don't blame me.
polite!"
All the civil and military officials looked at each other and became mute.
They really had no good plan, and even Cang Hongshen remained silent.
Zhao Ziye finally set his sights on Cang Hongshen, but the latter remained silent. He understood that Cang Hongshen had no better way.
During this period, Cang Hongshen commanded the three forbidden armies and the major spiritual masters to guard the Holy Dynasty, forcefully blocking the seven coalition forces from the city gates time and time again.
Without Cang Hongshen's strategic planning, the sacred city might have been captured long ago.
Zhao Ziye also understood that Cang Hongshen had tried his best, and the only way now was to fight to the death.
"I'm exhausted! Please withdraw from the imperial court!" Zhao Ziye waved his hands and said with waning spirits.
An old eunuch standing at the head of Zhao Ziye's dragon chair immediately shouted out the word "Retreat" at the top of his lungs with a sharp voice.
For a moment, the courtiers bowed to Zhao Ziye, then turned and left.
Cang Hong took a deep look at Zhao Ziye, who was sitting on the dragon chair with a tired look on his face, opened his mouth, but in the end said nothing, and turned around to leave.
Until now, he has no good plan. The only way now is to delay it again and again until their holy dynasty can no longer support it. Bang!

As of now, he has no good plan. The only way to do it now is to delay it again and again until their holy dynasty can no longer support it.
