There were no rows of strong guards in the tent, and it was empty except for Liu Chengfeng who was sitting in the tent.
"Your Highness." Li Ruofan felt bitter in his heart.
Liu Chengfeng squinted his eyes and looked at this woman coldly.
You can never give such a woman a smile. Either you surrender to her, or she surrenders to you, so Liu Chengfeng remained silent.
"Ben Khan has come to discuss peace, Your Highness"
In the middle of Li Ruofan's words, Liu Chengfeng interrupted her: "Negotiation? I thought you were here to beg for surrender." Liu Chengfeng continued coldly: "Since you are begging for surrender, don't stand and talk to me. , you stand so tall, do you still want me to look down at you?"
Li Ruofan's face turned pale. To put it bluntly, she doesn't want to be with you at all. She hesitated for a moment, bit her lip and said, "You don't care about your old relationship at all?"
Liu Chengfeng smiled, but his smile was cold: "Old love? What old love? Did you bring your people into the border to kill my people? Or were you mad and holding my king hostage?"
Li Ruofan's eyes flashed with a trace of cunning: "Actually, I am doing this for the good of His Highness. Think about it, Your Highness, if I can conquer your capital with one move, then the Ming Dynasty will fall, and I will Khan is alone in the desert, and the land in this pass also needs one person to manage it. Although you and I are our own masters, we are husband and wife. Our child is already two years old. In the future, you will be the master of this pass. I am the Lord of the Desert. When our children grow up"
"Nonsense!" Liu Chengfeng stood up and looked at Li Ruofan fiercely.
However, Li Ruofan looked at the angry Liu Chengfeng fearlessly and said, "Why do you need to hide it, Your Highness? Your Highness is already a very human minister. A cunning rabbit will be cooked by a running dog, and a good bird will be hidden behind all the birds. This is the saying of your Han family, Although the current emperor favors you now, what will happen in the future? Will the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty let go of Chu? Will he let go of your heirs? If you just stay peacefully and be your king of Chu, maybe the emperor of the future Ming Dynasty will tolerate it. Come to the Liu family, but please don¡¯t forget, Your Highness, that you consolidated Nanyang and firmly controlled the entire Nanyang in the hands of the Chu State. You collected taxes from various countries for your own use. You gathered all the soldiers of Nanyang at your disposal. Your ships are like clouds and equipped with countless armors. One hundred thousand people, Your Highness, don¡¯t you have ambition? If you have no ambition, why would you do such a thing? Why should Your Highness deceive yourself and others? Now, if His Highness and this Khan attack the capital of the Ming Dynasty together, from now on, you and I will be together. Controlling the world, you are the Lord of the South, and I am the Khan of the North. You and I are always a family, and our children will be"
"My lies are misleading!" Liu Chengfeng interrupted her. This woman is really powerful. Even now, she is still instigating trouble: "Who do you think you are, the Lord of the Pass, the Lord of the Desert? Who do you think I am?" Who is it? Do you think I am Shi Jingtang? Will I use the blood of my own people to fulfill my ambition? Will I lead my people to rely on you? You pride yourself on being smart and cunning, but you Wrong, I am Liu Chengfeng, and Liu Chengfeng will never do such a thing. No matter how bad, shameless, or ambitious Liu Chengfeng is, he never knows what it means to collude with the bandits. You are too self-righteous."
Li Ruofan smiled slightly and said, "Really? Hasn't His Highness the King of Chu thought about the future? I think His Highness should plan for the long term"
Liu Chengfeng sneered again: "That's enough, no matter how much you say, it's useless. Now just think about yourself. In less than seven days, I will bury you and your clan here together. This is your own fault." Bad consequences.¡±
Li Ruofan sighed faintly: "But if His Highness does this, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty will probably be buried with him."
Liu Chengfeng's attitude was firm and his tone was calm and authentic: "The king died for the country, the emperor died for the country, and all the people in the world can be grateful for his kindness. Emperor Yingzong could do this back then, and the emperor can do the same today. The Ming Dynasty is not the Song Dynasty. Do you think you can threaten me with this?"
This sentence is both excessive and reasonable. The so-called excessive is that Liu Chengfeng should not say such things. But the reason is also because the Ming Dynasty had this precedent long ago. When the Waci people kidnapped the Yingzong, they thought they could force the Ming Dynasty to submit. What was the result? The result was that the Ming court did not hesitate to select a close relative as regent, and beat the person who copied him without saying a word.
With this precedent, Liu Chengfeng dared to say these words.
Of course, doing this is not without sequelae. For example, Yu Qian, who was determined to do this in the past, later waited for the restoration of Yingzong, wasn't it over?
This is what Li Ruofan saw through. A sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth and she said: "Your Highness really has no plans for the future? Of course what you said is beneficial to the country, but Your Highness has thought about it. Is it good for Your Highness? Your Highness can look down on me or even don¡¯t want our children., don¡¯t you even care about your own wealth and life? Although the current emperor is as close to His Highness as a brother, what would he think if he knew that His Highness was making decisions regardless of his life? This is not because Ben Khan is instigating dissension, this is just the way people's hearts are. "
Liu Chengfeng smiled, and said with his hands behind his back: "There is a saying that is called planning before taking action. Do you think I don't have my own way out? Well, after talking to you so much, I don't want to talk to you any more. So fast, in this case, I will let you give up." He walked to his desk casually, picked up the copy of the Queen Mother's Edict, then handed it to Li Ruofan, and said with a smile: "You can see for yourself."
Li Ruofan took Yizhi and looked at it in surprise, and a trace of fear suddenly appeared in his eyes.
This is a decree from the Queen Mother, and the content of the decree is not simple at all. The Queen Mother's decree orders the Ming army not to be threatened by Li Ruofan, and must annihilate all invading enemies. Only surrender is allowed, and no peace is allowed.
¡° In this way, Li Ruofan¡¯s trump card was completely wiped out.
She can threaten Liu Chengfeng not only because of the emperor's life, but also because of Liu Chengfeng's attitude. If Liu Chengfeng ignores any feelings between the emperor and his subjects and insists on fighting and pushing the emperor into the fire pit, then if Li Ruofan puts Zhu Houzhao back, Zhu Houzhao will I am afraid that the relationship between the emperor and his ministers with Liu Chengfeng will have a grudge that is difficult to heal, and this grudge will be enough to turn into a disaster in the future.
But the problem now is that Liu Chengfeng¡¯s toughness does not come from his original intention, but from the Queen Mother. So what?
The Queen Mother and the Emperor are mother and son, and it is absolutely impossible for anyone to sow discord. The Queen Mother is determined to fight, and Liu Chengfeng is just the executor. Even if Zhu Houzhao returns to Beijing in the future, the Queen Mother will try her best to explain to Zhu Houzhao. The final result is that everyone is relieved. As for past suspicions, nothing happened.
The relationship between people is very subtle. The same thing done by different people will give people different senses. As a minister, if he does such a thing, he may be suspected of being disloyal, but as a minister The Queen Mother, then it can only be said that the Queen Mother is a sage, with a keen eye, she has already seen through that the Mongols did not dare to attack the emperor, and in the end not only protected the national prestige of the Ming Dynasty, but also protected the emperor.
Liu Chengfeng sneered at Li Ruofan and said: "With your intelligence, you must know what this imperial edict means. Since you know it, you must also know that you are at the end of your rope and your people have become the victims of my Daming sword. As long as I have a thought today, hundreds of thousands of people will die here, and the Ming Dynasty will take the opportunity to divide its troops and go deep into the desert to retaliate. The entire desert will also usher in a bloody storm. In the end, this is still You have committed the sin yourself, so you have the heart to let these people be buried with you and die with you?"
Li Ruofan's delicate body trembled slightly and said: "You can bear to kill my people, but can you bear to kill your own children?"
Liu Chengfeng turned his back and did not look at Li Ruofan, but his tone was very firm: "Hu and Han are not at odds. Compared with national hatred, what is a personal relationship? I thought you understood me, but Unexpectedly, you are still so confused. Although my son will die, many parents have lost their sons and many sons have lost their fathers because of you. If these fathers and sons die in peace because of my son, then I will How can I bear it?"
He turned around, looked at Li Ruofan coldly, and said: "Actually it all depends on you. As long as you are willing to beg for surrender, as long as you are willing to be obedient, everything can be avoided. There is already too much hatred, what should I do? Let's settle it, or resolve it today, but you must be mentally prepared to resolve this hatred. From now on, there will be no more Mongolia in this world, and there will be no big sweat. I hope you can think clearly."
Li Ruofan sighed and said quietly: "At this time, do I still have a choice? You shouldn't have sent me back to Mongolia back then, and you shouldn't have made me Khan of Mongolia. Without those years, there would be no present. I I am willing to beg for surrender and take millions of people with me, please leave a way for your Highness to survive."
She fell to her knees without hesitation and remained motionless.
Liu Chengfeng looked at her condescendingly and couldn't help but smile. This time his smile was not too cold, but as gentle as a spring breeze.
Liu Chengfeng has two faces, one is like a diamond with angry eyes, which makes people fearful, and the other is like this now, like a loving father, like a sincere friend and brother.
He stretched out his hand and said to Li Ruofan: "It's cold underground. Get up. Why are you suffering from so many shocks?"
Li Ruofan raised his eyes, feeling a little dazed. This person was still underestimated by himself. His smile looked so gentle in Li Ruofan's eyes, but also how terrifying.
She stretched out her slender hand and put it on Liu Chengfeng's warm hand. Liu Chengfeng used a little force to gently pull her into her arms.Pulled up easily.
