The ninth and fifty-first chapter vows to fight the Yan Thief to the death!
This was simply a naked threat, without even any room for negotiation. He was forcing his woman to take her. Wu Gongling was so angry that his teeth itched with hatred.
If he really agreed to this, where would he put his face?
But Meng Shanming's presence at the front line was really a big shock to him. He had a cold face, his eyes were cloudy, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"May I ask, Your Majesty, what is going on?" Prime Minister Zi Pingxiu tried to ask.
Wu Gongling said nothing. With a wave of his hand, the military situation and Meng Shanming's message reached the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs.
After everyone took turns to watch, they were all equally frightened. Meng Shanming came to the front line in person and threatened to start a war, which put a lot of pressure on everyone.
For the entire Song Dynasty, Meng Shanming was the haze that shrouded the hearts of the people of the Song Dynasty, repeatedly causing great damage to the Song Dynasty. It seemed that no one in the Song Dynasty could stop it.
After being silent for a while, Wu Gongling suddenly asked: "What do you think?"
How else can we look at it? The water thrown out by speaking out cannot be easily taken back. Changing one's words is a slap in one's own face, so no one changes their position easily. It is still a dispute between two different opinions.
One side believes that even Meng Shanming has arrived in Bozhou, and Bozhou is not Niu Youdao's territory, which shows that the opinions within Zijindong have been unified, and it is very likely that a war will really begin. The other side thinks that the current situation of Yan State is to restore its vitality, not
It's very possible to start a war recklessly, it's just to scare people.
There was a lot of fighting, no one was sure what would happen, and no one dared to risk their own lives.
Seeing that there was no result in the quarrel, Wu Gongling suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist, waved a cold light, and cut off a corner of the desk with a clean sword. The hall was silent for an instant, and he could be seen saying with a ferocious face: "Thief Yan"
That's too much! How can I give my woman away so easily? A scholar can be killed but not humiliated. I have made up my mind. I would rather live in pieces than in ruins. I vow to fight to the death with the Yan thief! Anyone who dares to stop me will be treated like this case!"
Everyone in the hall looked at each other. Some people accepted the order and responded, while others were worried.
After the civil and military ministers dispersed, Wu Gongling stood with his sword in his pestle, his face uncertain, and his heart equally worried.
Behind the curtain, Dan Dongxing came out and took the military information and Meng Shan's call to read. After reading it, he frowned and asked, "Your Majesty, what should I do?"
Wu Gongling: "I'm thinking of a way."
Shan Dongxing: "Why not report to the three major factions quickly and ask them to find a solution?"
Wu Gongling snorted coldly, "Can this matter be kept secret? Even if they don't report it, they will know it soon. Even if they know it, so what, once the Yan State really starts a war, based on the current national strength of the Song State, do you think the three major factions will
Can you stop it?"
…
At the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zi Pingxiu came back in the evening. After entering the mansion, he went directly to the west courtyard, entered Jia Wuqun's yard, walked under the tree and sat next to Jia Wuqun.
The servants were already familiar with the way, and two servants quickly moved over the special shelf where Jia Wuqun wrote questions and answers, and placed the ground pen and ink next to it.
After the servants retreated, Zi Pingxiu said: "Niu Youdao's influence on the Yan Kingdom's military is indeed very important, and the intimidation posture he put up was not small. Not to mention that the entire Yan Kingdom's troops were mobilized, and even more so.
Meng Shanming was sent to the Bozhou front line in person to set up a battle formation..." He introduced the military situation and Meng Shanming's message, as well as the reactions of the civil and military ministers of North Korea and China.
Jia Wuqun wrote down and asked him: What is the current reaction?
Zi Pingxiu said: "I drew my sword and chopped open the case. I swore that I would rather break the jade than the whole tile. I vowed to fight to the end with the Yan Kingdom. If anyone dares to dissuade me, the end will be like the chopped case. Sir, we are afraid this time
It’s a self-defeating thing. I don’t know if Niu Youdao is really fighting, but His Majesty is determined to fight to the death!”
Jia Wuqun wrote to him: War, what to fight for? The domestic order has just been restored to stability, and it is difficult to guarantee even the basic supply and demand. The people are determined, and the soldiers have no morale. Where can we raise combat supplies in a short period of time? If the war begins, he will lose. He will not fail.
Know!
Zi Pingxiu shook his head: "Your Majesty, you don't know how powerful the Korean army was when they invaded the country, but did your Majesty make any concessions? Everyone said they wanted to negotiate for peace, and even the three major factions wanted to negotiate, but your Majesty insisted on going his own way.
Fight to the end, this is a lesson learned from the past. Now that His Majesty has made up his mind to fight bloody battles, how can this be a child's play!"
"Ho ho..." Jia Wuqun looked up to the sky and laughed. Without his tongue, his laughter was a bit weird.
He shook his head and wrote on the paper: If I didn't know a thing about him, how could I dare to give advice to Niu Youdao? Wu Jun is indeed somewhat capable, better than Mu Zhuozhen, but he looks tough, but in fact he is fierce in appearance and soft in heart. Head-to-head confrontation on the battlefield
How many times did he dare to do so? If he encountered a serious challenge, he would flee all the way in the Yan State, and hide when fighting with the Korean army in the Song State. He did not dare to face a head-on confrontation, how could he dare to fight to the death with the Yan Army? This man knows his skills very well.
, why did the Prime Minister believe that he would be strong?
The blank space was filled. After turning the page, he wrote another line and passed it to the other party: Prime Minister, do you dare to make a bet with me? I predict that he will bear the humiliation and make friends with you!
Seeing that he was so determined, Zi Pingxiu said "Oh", frowned and thought slowly and said: "If you can fight with the Korean army, why can't you do this with the Yan army?"
Jia Wuqun shook his head and wrote: This is the same as the other, as the old saying goes, this man knows things very well! How can a ruthless and unjust man draw a bottom line? How can he remain unyielding for a woman?
Zi Pingxiu sighed: "I hope, as Mr. said, it would be best if we didn't fight. The Song Dynasty really can't stand the torment."
After all, he was the prime minister of the Song Dynasty and had been the prime minister for many years. In his heart, he still hoped that the Song Dynasty would be well.
Jia Wuqun knew what he was thinking, so he didn't say anything more about it and drank the tea slowly.
At this moment, the housekeeper came in a hurry, saluted Zi Pingxiu and then Jia Wuqun, and then reported to Zi Pingxiu: "Prime Minister, Shan Dongxing, the head of Tongxian Pavilion, is here."
Zi Pingxiu asked: "What's the matter?"
Butler: "I don't know, I just said I came to visit the Prime Minister."
"Come to visit me at this time..." Zi Pingxiu twisted his beard to ponder his intention, but saw Jia Wuqun put down the tea cup and wrote a line of words and passed it to him: The lobbyist is here!
Looking at Jia Wuqun, seeing that the latter seemed to be smiling but not smiling, Zi Pingxiu stood up and left thoughtfully.
The celebrity next to Wu Gongling was naturally an honored guest. When the guests and hosts were seated in the main hall, Jia Wuqun also appeared. He walked slowly to the door and stood under the eaves to listen. Anyone who dared to eavesdrop on the Prime Minister's conversation would be driven away. He did this,
The guards and the like just took a look, and no one seemed to have anything unusual.
After some polite greetings in the main hall, Zi Pingxiu asked, "What advice does Master Shan have here?"
Dan Dongxing waved his hand, "It's not about giving advice. It's true that I came here to ask for advice. To make a long story short, the Prime Minister is familiar with the national conditions of the Song Dynasty. I dare to ask the Prime Minister whether the current national strength of the Song Dynasty is enough to fight against the Yan Kingdom?"
Zi Pingxiu shook his head and sighed: "Everything is stretched thin, and Master Shan knows it very well. He really can't stand the trouble."
Dan Dongxing asked strangely: "When the Song Dynasty was in danger of life and death, the prime minister was the head of the officials. Why didn't he advise His Majesty, but instead sat back and watched the Song Dynasty fall into crisis?"
Zi Pingxiu smiled bitterly: "I would like to persuade him, but you have seen His Majesty's attitude. Who dares to persuade you to cut your sword and make your will clear?"
Dan Dongxing exclaimed: "Prime Minister, Prime Minister, your Majesty is indeed strong-willed, but your Majesty is not an unreasonable person..."
After hearing this, Jia Wuqun, who was outside the room, turned around and left first. He didn't have anything nice to say. He kept saying the same thing over and over again.
All in all, I hope that Zi Pingxiu will not protect himself in this situation, but put national affairs first and bravely stand up to dissuade him.
After seeing off the distinguished guests, Zi Pingxiu returned to the west courtyard and sat opposite Jia Wuqun. He had just said a few words about Dan Dongxing's purpose when Jia Wuqun raised his hand and turned the cardboard to reveal a line of words for him to read:
I've heard it.
He picked up the pen and wrote another line and turned it to him: The man is looking for the bottom of the steps.
Zi Pingxiu chuckled and shook his head: "Although he never mentioned that it was His Majesty's intention, how could I not know that he came with His Majesty's instructions. Alas, it seems that I am very busy tonight."
Jia Wuqun: It’s not a bad thing! In the past, he could not listen to advice. Once he started to do this, the rules gradually became established and he gradually became a cocoon!
Zi Pingxiu nodded in agreement. It was indeed true. Once he listened to the advice this time, if the officials refused to listen to the advice again in the future, then everyone knew that Wu Gongling was looking for a way down the stairs this time. He was afraid of getting into trouble and gave his wife to someone else. But
It's not a glorious thing.
He was indeed busy, so he ordered people to find hundreds of officials one after another. As the leader of the officials, he was able to instigate the officials to overthrow Mu Zhuozhen, so he would naturally have some influence this time.
Of course, Zi Pingxiu would not say that this was Wu Gongling's intention. He should not say nonsense. Wu Gongling's attitude was to fight to the death with the Yan army. Anyone who dares to slander is seeking death.
In the court hall the next day, facing the admonitions of hundreds of officials, Wu Gongling roared angrily: "If I had killed that bitch earlier, I would not be in the trouble I am in today. It is all because of your persuasion. Now the facts are before our eyes, that bitch and Yan
The thieves secretly colluded. Fortunately, I destroyed her. Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous. I have made up my mind and vow to fight to the death with the Yan thieves. You will stop talking nonsense!" After saying this, he threw away his sleeves angrily.
However, the officials refused to give up. After leaving the court, Zi Pingxiu led the officials outside the imperial study and asked to see Wu Gongling.
Wu Gongling refused to meet him, and Zi Pingxiu winked outside the imperial study. Immediately, someone knelt down and kowtowed, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, the Song Dynasty cannot withstand the hardships. Your Majesty, please endure the humiliation and bear the burden for the Song Dynasty!"
"I beg your Majesty to endure the humiliation and bear the burden!" Someone took the lead, and a group of people knelt down one after another. Finally, they all knelt down, including Zi Pingxiu, an old bone.
A group of people were crying and crying. Some people cried so hard that tears and runny noses came out. Some people even knocked their heads and their foreheads bled.
The scene was so horrific that even the palace guards who rushed to watch were secretly sighing and sighing. They were all loyal ministers and were not even afraid of death.
In short, if His Majesty does not agree, these people would rather die and will kneel down until His Majesty agrees.
At the same time, after the heads of the three major sects of the Song Dynasty, Guan Jitai of Lingxiao Pavilion, Qu Fan of Blood Temple, and Wu Chengyu of Split Heaven Palace, figured out the situation, they hurried to Zijin Cave to demand explanations. They couldn't do it if they didn't come quickly. Meng Shanming's message
The Song Dynasty was only given three days, so naturally they came to resolve the conflict.
