Lu Qiuhe sat on the chair slumped for a long time, unfolded the yellow silk Rong Shaoyang gave him, read through the imperial edict, and laughed while reading it, as if he was crazy.
At this time, Xue Ji came in with a tray in her hand, walked up to Lu Qiuhe, and said softly, "What are you laughing at, Your Majesty?"
Lu Qiuhe looked up at Xue Ji, took her hand, and sighed in a low voice: "You have been a noble concubine for so many days, if I tell you right now that I want you to turn back into a poor man, what will you do?"
Xue Ji sat next to Lu Qiuhe, scooped out a bowl of white fungus soup from the cup, brought it to Lu Qiuhe, smiled and said, "As long as Your Majesty is with Xue Ji, then Xue Ji doesn't mind any status."
Hearing this, Lu Qiuhe held Xue Ji's hand tightly, "The current situation of Mongolia is not good. There was Yan State in the past, and then there was Li State in the back. The soldiers of Li State have already entered most of the territory of Mongolia. Ah, I'm afraid I can't keep it."
"Your Majesty, don't worry, don't we still have General Duan He? He is brave and good at fighting, brave and resolute, and the Mongolian Congress will be fine." Xue Ji lowered her eyes and spoke kindly.
Lu Qiuhe is heartbroken. He knows Duan Hekang's ability. He is indeed brave and good at fighting, but he is far inferior to Duan Heyi back then. If Duan Heyi is still alive, there may be hope for Mongolia.
He took Xue Ji's tremella and lotus seed soup, put it aside, and asked: "If Mongolia has to merge with one of them, which country do you think is a better choice for Mongolia?"
Xue Ji lowered her eyes and thought: "It has always been the friendship between Mongolia and Lebanon, and the friendship between Yanwen and Wenzhou. In the past few years, Mongolia and Yan have been fighting continuously, and the relationship between the two countries is not good. Li may be better. The concubine does not understand government affairs. , the view is simple, His Majesty just became a concubine and didn't say anything."
Lu Qiuhe sighed deeply, in the current situation, it was time to make a choice.
"Okay, go down, I'm tired." Lu Qiuhe lay down on the couch and closed his eyes.
Xue Ji glanced at him indifferently, and the moment she turned around, the expression on her face changed from gentleness to a cold smile.
After Xue Ji left, Lu Qiuhe stood up again and ordered someone to summon Murong Tian into the palace.
"Master Murong, what should we do now? How many guards are there in Beijing?" Lu Qiuhe asked immediately when he saw him coming.
Murong Tian also looked ashamed, he shook his head and said: "The total strength of the entire capital is less than 10,000. Even if General Duan He sends his troops back to Beijing now, it will not be able to keep up with Li's invasion, let alone General Duan He To deal with Yan State at the border, we are powerless."
Lu Qiuhe sat down on the chair slumped, his face was deathly pale, he threw the yellow scroll given by Rong Shaoyang in front of Murong Tian, ??and said: "Look, this is an edict drafted by Prince Li, he threatened me to stamp it read."
"Prince Li Guo?" Murong Tian didn't know.
"It was Emperor Hui who slipped through the net back then. King Jin may not have rebelled from beginning to end, but Mongolia was deceived." Lu Qiuhe rubbed the space between his brows, looking a little lacking in strength.
Murong Tian also experienced that war. With Lu Qiuhe's explanation in a few words, he immediately understood that Li Guo has been working hard for so many years just for this day to come.
Murong Tian unfolded the yellow scroll and read through the imperial edict. After reading it, his hands trembled slightly, and his voice also trembled a little: "He wants to annex Mongolia peacefully, Your Majesty, this"
"Lord Murong, I called you here just to discuss with you what to do. Among the important ministers of the two dynasties, you are the only one I trust." Lu Qiuhe looked up at him and said, "Do you think this imperial edict , do you want to stamp it?"
Murong Tian lowered his eyes in silence, bent his body slightly, and said after a long time: "Your Majesty, forgive me for speaking bluntly, Mongolia is exhausted."
When Lu Qiuhe heard this sentence from Murong Tian's mouth, his complexion became even worse, and he said: "Forgive your innocence, let's continue."
Murong Tian cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, it will only take five days for Li Guo to invade the capital. I'm afraid His Majesty will not approve this edict, but some people will. They will help a new emperor who is greedy for life and afraid of death, to take the throne. The same is true for promulgating edicts."
Murong Tian observed Lu Qiuhe's expression, and said again: "No matter what decision His Majesty makes, I will always stand by His Majesty's side."
Lu Qiuhe raised his eyebrows, looked at Murong Tian, ??the old fox is still an old fox, he hinted that he would surrender to Li Guo, and at the same time showed that he would be loyal to him. Neither side should be offended, and if Li Guo pursues it in the future, he will have the credit of persuading the emperor.
"I know, I will consider it, you go down." Lu Qiuhe gave up.
Murong Tian stepped back and met Xue Ji at the corner of the palace gate.
"I've already done what you said, the antidote." Murong Tian stretched out his hand to Xue Ji, his thick eyebrows furrowed deeply.
Xue Ji smiled slightly: "My lord,??If you are really smart all your life, you were confused for a while, and the antidote is now given to you. If you go back on your word tomorrow morning, and lead your ministers to rebel, then my success will come to naught. "
Murong Tian withdrew his hand angrily, and took a step closer: "The most confused thing about this old man is that he misjudged you. When did you get bought by Li Guo?"
"Master Murong is really confused, can't you see that I am from Li country from the beginning to the end?" Xue Ji smiled mockingly.
"You!" Murong Tian waved his sleeves and left.
Xue Ji reminded: "Remember, if you say a wrong word tomorrow, your wife and children, as well as yourself, will die in an ugly way."
Murong Tian paused, then walked away again.
Xue Ji looked at his back, with a smile on her face, turned and ran in the opposite direction.
The day passed quickly, Lu Qiuhe locked himself in the room, did not eat or drink, did not call anyone, and finally opened the palace door of the bedroom at dawn.
Rong Shaoyang stood leaning on the pillar, glanced at Lu Qiuhe calmly, and said, "Have you considered it?"
Lu Qiuhe held the imperial edict tightly, walked in front of Rong Shaoyang, he took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and said: "You have to promise not to hurt a single subject of the Mongolian country, and after returning to the Li country, the subjects of the two countries will not be harmed." The distinction between honor and humility."
Rong Shaoyang smiled: "It is natural, the people of Li and Meng are treated equally."
"Okay." Lu Qiuhe handed the yellow scroll in his hand to Rong Shaoyang.
Rong Shaoyang did not accept it, he said: "This imperial edict has to go to court early, please read it in the hall, otherwise the officials will not be convinced, and if there is a rebellion or something, I will not be able to guarantee his life."
Lu Qiuhe withdrew his hand, and clenched the yellow scroll a little more. He glanced at Rong Shaoyang and said, "I hope you can really unify the four kingdoms, so that the people will no longer suffer from war."
Rong Shaoyang was noncommittal, but there was still a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Lu Qiuhe stepped up, stepped down the high and majestic dragon steps, and walked towards the palace of the early dynasty.
The officials knelt down to greet him, shouting long live long live.
Lu Qiuhe boarded the Golden Luan Palace, sat on the large and luxurious dragon chair, stared at the officials under the stage, and called out to calm down.
"I have a very important edict to be read out today, Lord Murong, please read it." Lu Qiuhe put the scroll in his hand on the eunuch's tray, and the little eunuch walked down the steps, and bowed to bring it in front of Murong Tian.
"By God's fortune, the emperor's edict said: Since I ascended the throne, there have been many disasters in the Mongolian country, and my heart is tired. The two countries of Yan and Wen will marry each other and merge into one country. The troops stationed in the southeast are eyeing tigers. I am not worthy of virtue. The two countries of Italy, Mongolia and Lebanon are united, and in the future, Mongolia will be united with Lebanon, and we will fight against the enemy together, and finally unify the four countries, benefit the world, and benefit all people." Murong Tian even finished reading aloud, and then sang: "I love you."
The important officials in the Golden Luan Hall looked at each other, and no one knelt down to accept the decree. The imperial decree told them plainly that the Mongolian kingdom had fallen and had been annexed by the Li kingdom.
It was quiet for a long time, and the atmosphere was so heavy that it was hard to breathe. Lu Qiuhe looked around the crowd, his eyes fell on several veteran officials of the three dynasties, and said: "Mr. Han Ge, are you planning to accept my order?"
Han Jin, who was named, knelt tremblingly on the ground with beads of sweat on his head: "Your Majesty, long live five live long live."
When he knelt down, people knelt down in twos and threes. Not long after, most of the high-ranking ministers had already knelt down, and half of the mountains and rivers of the Meng Kingdom were already in the hands of the Li Kingdom. At this moment, if they refused to accept the order, what could they do? It's a dead end.
A quarter of an hour later, only about five or six people were still standing and did not kneel. Someone walked out and bowed to Luqiu He: "Your Majesty, forgive me for not obeying the order. The country of Mongolia is dead. I would rather die than die." Humiliated by the enemy country!"
?The rest of the people also expressed their opinions one by one, unwilling to suffer the humiliation of subjugation. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
