"They really said that?" A majestic voice asked coldly in King Qin's palace.
The official who was lying on the ground did not even dare to raise his head, but said respectfully: "Your Majesty, there are underground passages and copper pipes. There are no traces on the outside, but you can hear clearly, that is indeed what he said. "
Guo Wentong frowned and paced slowly on the floor of the hall, with no expression on his face. After a moment, he ordered: "Pass my order and let the ministers come in to discuss matters."
"Yes!" Someone immediately left with a message.
After a while, several ministers came in. They all bowed and sat down. One of them was the minister Xu Qingyuan, who had a slender figure, a beautiful beard that reached over his chest, and long eyebrows.
Xu Qingyuan cupped his hands and said in a clear voice: "Your Majesty, the envoy from Chengguo came here to persuade the lord to surrender?"
Xu Qingyuan has always been favored, but Guo Wentong can't let the evil fire of ignorance spread to the sky. He wrote: "The Xu Qing family guessed it right, just for this matter. This is the content of the credential that has been obtained. Please pass it on." , let¡¯s talk about how to deal with it later.¡±
With that said, Guo Wentong motioned to the chamberlain, who understood, took a copy, and walked down the high steps step by step.
"Sir Xu," The chamberlain came to Xu Qingyuan and handed it over respectfully. Xu Qingyuan nodded, took the copy into his hand, apologized, and watched intently.
"You guys should pass it around and take a look. I'm afraid Cheng Guo really thinks he is the emperor and scolds Gu." Guo Wentong said at this time, his tone was calm, but if you listen carefully, you can hear a hint of indignation mixed with it.
This is also the main reason for Guo Wentong's anger. The confrontation between Qin and Cheng started five or six years ago, but due to the special characteristics of Qin's territory, there has never been a war.
The atmosphere on the border between the two places has always been tense. When it comes to the strength of the two countries, Qin is at a disadvantage. However, Guo Wentong has been in the army for half his life. His father and ancestors were all famous generals. He has a sense of arrogance, especially several strategic choices, which were all ignored by Wang Hongyi. Playing in the midst of applause made it difficult for Guo Wentong to let go.
With Chang'an in his hands, the vast Qinchuan, and Liangzhou behind him, Guo Wentong felt that he could form a three-legged alliance with the Cheng Kingdom and the Khanate.
There are many such examples in history (this is Xixia on earth).
As for surrendering to the country Surrendering to Wang Hongyi, handing over everyone and becoming a rich man, this choice was actually determined when Guo Wentong received the copy.
In the main hall, it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Guo Wentong was sitting there, his expression unremarkable. Xu Qing was holding a copy in his hand and looking down. Several ministers held their breath and focused on Xu Qingyuan.
After a while, Xu Qingyuan read the contents of the copy, with no change in his expression, and handed the copy to an important minister, who also took it and looked at it intently.
Later, some of Guo Wentong¡¯s ministers took a look.
When the copy was handed back to Guo Wentong again, Guo Wentong threw it directly on the case without even looking at it. This move made the people below feel moved.
"My dear friends, what do you want to say?" Guo Wentong asked as his eyes swept over these ministers.
There was silence in the main hall, and Xu Qingyuan said: "Your Majesty, all the ministers can surrender, but the King cannot surrender."
This is! This allusion exists on earth and in this world.
If a minister is demoted, under normal circumstances, he can still join the system, and he will not lose the official position of the state or county. But if Guo Wentong is demoted, he can forget about the official position. Although he can be granted a title, he must close his mind and think about his mistakes again. The south is called solitary!
After hearing this, Guo Wentong said: "The Dacheng envoy came to Chang'an, and there was a lot of discussion. Everyone was disappointed. You said this because you love me and have the same opinion as me."
"I second the proposal!"
"I also agree!" Seeing that the king had made up his mind, everyone present had no choice but to agree.
Xu Qingyuan lowered his head, a strange color appeared in his eyes. After a little probing, he had figured out the king's thoughts, and he sighed secretly in his heart.
The Dacheng Dynasty had accepted the emperor's order and could attack the enemy. As Shi Hui pointed out, Liu Man was killed without hesitation, while Qingzhou surrendered and even the barbarians retreated.
Now the Dacheng Dynasty already has Shu, Jing, Jiao, Yang, Yu, Xu, Gun, Qing, Bing, Yi, and Sili Banyi, with millions of troops, and there is no general trend that can be resisted. In terms of selfishness, it is still It is better to surrender and surrender, then the world will be completely peaceful, the people will be in peace, and the officials can protect them.
But under such circumstances, Guo Wentong still refused to surrender. Xu Qingyuan immediately regarded him as a faint master. However, at this time, he took a step forward and said: "I thought that if the king does not surrender, When the envoy returns this time, Emperor Cheng will send a large army to attack Qin.??, please make preparations early! "
Guo Wentong appreciated that he did not persuade him to surrender to Chengguo. Looking at the officials, he felt that none of his officials were greedy for life and afraid of death, and he was relieved.
"Being courteous before fighting is the custom of the Cheng Kingdom."I think the emperor of the Cheng Kingdom would not think that Gu would submit to him. The Cheng army may have been mobilized frequently. As soon as the envoy returns, it will immediately "pounce" on Qin. In this case, it is not too late to dispatch the army first to make preparations and then receive the envoy. "Guo Wentong said in the seat.
"Yes!" Xu Qingyuan led his ministers to kowtow and responded.
Guo Wentong paced and waved his fan gently: "Let's discuss the details."
All the ministers looked at each other and exchanged glances.
In the afternoon, when he came out and walked to the door, the resolute and determined look on Xu Qingyuan's face immediately disappeared, and his expression was gloomy. Chen Sitong, a minister behind him, quickly followed and said: "My lord, we can't go on like this."
Xu Qingyuan knew what he meant, and walked forward, pondering again, and finally murmured for a long time: "It is indeed true. Although we have followed the Guo family for a long time, we are only guarding the territory for the Ming Lord. Now that Allah has appeared, Your Majesty If you still want to compete with the real dragon, this is perverse, and we cannot be buried with him."
After hearing these clear words, Chen Sitong was overjoyed and bowed deeply: "It will be much easier for us if the adults make the decision."
Xu Qingyuan nodded slowly and said: "If the king wants to delay the time, let's go and make an announcement first. This is the result of surrender. There are still some people who need to strengthen their win over. As soon as Master Wang arrives, we can abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side. "
Chen Sitong heard this and responded repeatedly, saying: "We all have the same idea. Our move is in line with God's will. If we can achieve great success, the people of the world will be safe and my family will be safe!"
Luoyang, Imperial Study Room
With a scroll placed randomly, Wang Hongyi closed his eyes and rested.
These days have been relatively peaceful. Qing, Bing, Yi, and Sili have been fighting for peace for a long time, and they are very cooperative with the government. Due to the lack of officials, they still use a large number of surrendered ministers.
Many officials with no bad records have been retained, and it is said that they are in good condition. This is also the last batch of officials who have been used exceptionally. When the world is calmed down, the official career will not be so good.
The supply of grain and grass cannot be prepared in a short time. Before a decision is made, an order is issued to prepare.
Sending an envoy to Chang'an was just a usual method. Wang Hongyi did not think that Guo Wentong would surrender to him.
We have heard about this man in his past and present lives. He has a strong personality, and can even be said to be stinky and tough. In his past life, he also chose to die in battle when the barbarians attacked. It was difficult for him to surrender, so this battle must be fought.
"What time is it?" Wang Hongyi stood up and asked the waiter.
"Your Majesty, it's already a hundred hours." said the chamberlain.
Wang Hongyi started working in the morning, and has been working for seven hours now, when he heard the chamberlain report from behind: "Your Majesty, can you take dinner in the pavilion?"
"Huh?" Wang Hongyi waved his hand: "There is no need to pass on the main meal, just serve some porridge."
Wang Hongyi continued to look at the zhezi. At this time, the summer harvest had passed, and all counties and counties had already put in zhezi. He saw that most of the counties in the south were "ripe." He was immediately relieved, which meant that the use of troops could continue this year.
? Flipping through the folded books, I pulled out one and stared at it for a while. This was the Notice of the Thirteenth Division. After reading it, I felt very happy. This was the intention of some families in Chang'an to seek refuge.
"Huh, human nature is to seek safety and avoid danger. The general trend is unstoppable. Even if you dare to resist, how many people are willing to die with you?"
Recalling the countless people who led the way when dynasties or countries were destroyed, I couldn't help but sneer and say: "I know."
At this time, a woman came over and stood with her hands hanging down. She was a newly honored person in Luoyang, and she said, "Have you prepared dinner for me?"
Zhang Guiren saluted and invited Wang Hongyi to sit down. She knelt down to serve the food and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Your Majesty. I know it is hot at this time and you like to keep things light, so you only served some crispy king melon, cold vermicelli, and some There¡¯s a plate of shrimp!¡±
And he used a spoon to scoop up a bowl of rice porridge that was full of porridge oil, and after it had cooled down, he put it forward.
Wang Hongyi smiled. It was indeed light but not meaty. He was also hungry at this time. He gulped down the porridge and ate the vegetables. Zhang Guiren was always waiting on him, fanning him and talking with him with a smile.
Wang Hongyi felt really comfortable all over. After using it up, he smiled and said, "You've served me well. I'm very satisfied. But I have something to do today, so please step aside!"
A trace of disappointment flashed across Zhang Guiren's eyes, but it disappeared immediately, and he responded: "Yes!"
When Wang Hongyi came out, there was a waiter immediatelyThen, the whole courtyard was silent and the lights in every window were bright. Wang Hongyi walked directly towards a piled rockery.
Although it is a rockery, it is still thirty meters high and has a pavilion on it.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: The evening breeze blows gently and there are no mosquitoes.
At this time, most of the world is covered with a layer of red luck with yellow threads. This is actually the luck of most dynasties. Only in the most prosperous times, the world will be golden and auspicious.
In the previous life on earth, a certain dynasty had red and yellow luck.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Another sky pillar, with dragon energy rolling straight into the sky, there is no one in the world who can compete with it.
??Looking carefully, there is also a pillar of destiny in Youzhou and the grassland in the distance, but most of it has faded. When I look towards Chang'an, I can't find it at all.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Feeling that some of the strands of luck are gathering together, but there is still a hint of lavender.
Luck is valuable in being coherent, grand, and solid. These strands are gathering together uncertainly, either in the state of decline, or in the state of not yet rising, and now of course it is in decline.
However, it has declined to the point that even the Dragon Pillar is gone, and the King of Qin has reached the end of his rope and has taken advantage of the outside power.
Wang Hongyi immediately felt at ease as he was afraid that he would be reduced to powder as soon as the army arrived. (To be continued
