Zhang Tingyu agreed with this point, but he also realized a fatal flaw in this method, "Your Majesty, there are no suitable generals in the capital."
Yes, it was because the capital could not find a suitable general that Yunli proposed to revive Li Shumi. Now that Li Shumi has died in the battle, who can lead the army again? And this... is the last chance for the Qing Dynasty.
, you must not make any mistakes.
Yinzhen coughed lightly and said, "Who said there is no suitable general in the capital? I'm still here, right?"
As soon as these words came out, all the officials were shocked and turned pale. Then they all knelt down and asked Yinzhen to take back his orders. Zhang Tingyu said: "The emperor is the emperor, with a body of ten thousand gold. He must not take risks. It is better to discuss the matter in the long term."
.”
Yinzhen smiled coldly and said: "Hengchen, who do you think is more qualified and capable than me to be the commander-in-chief in the capital?" Hengchen is Zhang Tingyu's name, and Yinzhen has always called him this.
Zhang Tingyu was at a loss for words. Just as Yinzhen said, there was no one in the capital who was more qualified and capable than Yinzhen, but he still firmly opposed Yinzhen to lead troops into battle. Even if the army was strong, the emperor would go to war personally.
At that time, few emperors would do this, let alone in this situation now. If it failed... all the officials would simply not dare to act like it.
"Your Majesty, my brother has fought against Galdan and defeated him. Although my legs are inconvenient now, my mind is still there and I have a good understanding of his tactics. It is better for me to lead the troops on the expedition."
It was Yunli who spoke, and after saying these words, he struggled to get out of the wheelchair and fell to the ground, "Please accept your permission."
Yinzhen took a deep look at him and said: "I promised Emperor Ama that I would definitely defend this country. Now is the time for me to fulfill my promise. If... I lose, you will lead the Fengtai camp to defend the capital."
, wait until Fobia comes back to help, and safeguard the Qing Dynasty's century-old foundation. As long as you can do this, I will have no regrets."
Yunli said firmly: "If the emperor really wants to defend the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, please allow me to lead the troops to fight."
Yinzhen sighed and said: "If you lose, it will be difficult to preserve the foundation of the Qing Dynasty."
"No, even if my brother loses, what they will get is just an empty shell. The Qing Dynasty is still in the hands of the emperor." Yunli's words made Yinzhen puzzled. The capital was conquered, so how could the Qing Dynasty still be in his hands?
, after looking at Yunli carefully, he said: "You have thought of something."
"Yes." After saying this word, Yunli took a deep breath and said, "My brother is bold and asks the emperor and the ministers to leave the capital and go to Nanjing."
Yinzhen was startled, then understood what he meant, and said solemnly: "You want me to abandon the city and escape for my life?" Without waiting for Yunli's reply, he said: "This is impossible, I will not leave here."
"I know that doing this will make things difficult for the emperor, but this is the only way to preserve our strength at the moment. As long as the Buddha's army returns and repels Jungar, the emperor can return to the capital again, and all losses will be minimized.
"
After Yun Li's words, all the civil and military officials came to their senses and felt that this was a good idea. Not only Yinzhen, but also they could save their lives in this catastrophe. Now they all asked Yinzhen to leave the capital temporarily.
Avoid disasters.
"That's enough!" With these two words, Yangxin Palace gradually calmed down, and then countless eyes fell on Yinzhen, waiting for his next words.
"Huang Ama once taught me a sentence before his death: Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. If I abandon the city and run away today, and let the people in the city be bullied and massacred by foreign tribes, even if I take back the capital in the future, I will use it.
The people's hearts and minds that have been steadily gathered together for a hundred years have also dispersed, and the people's hearts are gone. Do you think the foundation of the Qing Dynasty will still be stable?"
Yinzhen's words left them speechless. Hubu Shang climbed a few steps forward and whispered: "Your Majesty, there is no other way. I believe the people will understand the Emperor's difficulties."
Yinzhen sneered and said, "If I leave and leave you to fend for yourself in the capital, will you understand?"
The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue lowered his head and did not dare to answer. Yinzhen walked slowly past him and raised his voice: "Tell me, if something happens to you, which one of you can say the word "considerate" without hesitation?
For a moment, the Yangxin Hall was silent. Among the hundreds of officials, there may not be anyone who can die for the country, but it is a bit reluctant to say "without hesitation". After all, it is your own life, and you can't say no to it no matter what.
No more.
"Since you can't do it, why do you say that the people can do it? Or, in your eyes, the lives of the people are not lives at all."
Facing Yinzhen's questioning words, Yunli said: "Your Majesty, I don't care about the lives of the people. If there were other ways, I would never say such words."
"I understand." Yinzhen sighed and said, "But I can't do that, so... let's stop this topic."
Yunli knew that once Yinzhen made up his mind, it would be difficult to be persuaded, so he did not dwell on it anymore, but said: "Then... please allow the emperor to allow my younger brother to go out to fight and fight Junger to the death. This is also my younger brother's.
My only request."
Yinzhen glanced at him, shook his head slowly and said: "You stay in the capital, and I will conquer it personally."
Yunli didn't expect Yinzhen's attitude to be so resolute, so he kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, please don't take any risks. I beg Your Majesty to let my younger brother lead the army."
Yinzhen ignored him and said to the Minister of War: "I will give you three days. After three days, I will see the more than 92,000 people you mentioned."
After receiving the response from the Minister of War, Yinzhen ordered the civil and military officials to retreat. Although the officials still had many things to say, they had no choice but to agree in the face of his solemn expression.
Soon, only Yinzhen and Yunli were left in the Yangxin Hall. Yinzhen covered his mouth and coughed a few times before saying, "What's wrong? You still don't want to get up?"
"Please, Your Majesty, promise me to lead the troops into battle." Yunli said the same words as before. Yinzhen didn't say anything. He just walked up to him and helped him sit in the wheelchair together with Sixi. "Old Seventeen, I know
You do it because you care about me, but I know this matter well, so you don’t need to say more."
Yunli said eagerly: "The emperor has been in poor health. How can he lead the troops on an expedition? If anything happens, the entire Qing Dynasty will be in chaos. As for my brother, although his legs are broken, the marching formation will not be affected.
, I really don’t understand why the emperor disagrees.”
Yinzhen stared at him for a long time and suddenly said: "Old Qi, do you think I can live a long time?"
Yunli was startled, and just as he was about to speak, Yinzhen said again: "Don't try to coax me with words of great blessings and long life. I am not a three-year-old child." At this point, he sighed and said
: "This body has decayed, maybe a year, or half a year, or a few months..."
