Zhao Qiandao: "Mr. Li, what did you tell Wang Qi?"
Li Hongzhong said seriously: "Reporting to your majesty, when the old minister saw Wang Qi, he said that the situation of Qi State has been achieved. Your Majesty allows Qi State to stand on its own and allows Wang Qi to proclaim himself emperor. He hopes that the two countries will cease the war."
"However, Wang Qi refused directly."
"In addition, when the old minister left Chang'an, he asked his grandson Li Yannian to go to Yanzhou to ask for Wang Zongxi, hoping that Wang Zongxi could persuade Wang Qi to stop the war. However, Wang Zongxi also refused and was unwilling to let the court go."
"An old minister once tested Wang Qi, saying that Dazhou is willing to surrender to Wang Qi. As long as Wang Qi does not attack the court, your majesty will temporarily surrender. Wang Qi still refused and insisted on destroying me, Dazhou."
Li Hongzhong said: "Wang Qi is determined now and will never make any changes."
"Damn it, damn it Wang Qi!"
Zhao Qian stood up, furious. He gritted his teeth and said, "Wang Qi, this guy, has a traitor in the back of his head. I've known for a long time that he is this kind of person. He is a thief who betrays his master."
Li Hongzhong stood below, looking quite tired.
After all, he was getting old and was in a hurry all the way back, so his energy was very low.
After Zhao Qian saw it, he waved his hand and said, "Get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Li Hongzhong stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the situation is extremely unfavorable to us, and we must be prepared now."
Zhao Qiandao: "What preparations?"
When Li Hongzhong heard Zhao Qian's unkind tone, he quickly explained: "Of course it is preparation to resist Wang Qi."
Zhao Qian¡¯s expression softened slightly, and he immediately ordered someone to notify Concubine Li and Linghu to come from thousands of miles away. After the two of them entered, Zhao Qian told the story of Wang Qi's refusal, and then said: "Mother, Wang Qi refuses to accept our peace proposal. What should we do now?"
Concubine Li¡¯s heart had been inferred before.
Wang Qi may refuse.
Now that I have actually encountered this incident, my heart still cannot help but sink.
The situation is too unfavorable.
Concubine Li said in a deep voice: "Our troops are insufficient now, so we cannot stop them."
Zhao Qiandao: "Is it possible to surrender to Wang Qi? No, this is absolutely not allowed. Mother, I would rather fight to the death than surrender to Wang Qi."
Concubine Li looked at Li Hongzhong again and said, "Shang Shuling, what do you think we should do?"
Li Hongzhong became more cautious at this time.
At this time, we need to be more careful. Once Zhao Qian loses his mind, or if Concubine Li tries to act mischievously, the entire Chang'an City cannot stop the emperor's slaughter, and neither can he, Li Hongzhong.
Li Hongzhong said slowly: "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, considering the current situation, the old minister suggested withdrawing the troops from Chang'an and retreating to Liangzhou. In the old days of Liangzhou, Dong Teng, the shepherd of Liangzhou, proclaimed himself emperor, but soon afterwards, Dong Teng was All the troops and horses that were in chaos in the place were overturned."
"Dong Teng died, and Liangzhou was in a mess. The imperial court had previously arranged for people to enter Liangzhou, and there was a powerful county in Liangzhou. Therefore, the old minister suggested that we temporarily abandon the capital and retreat to Liangzhou to station."
"After all, when we arrived in Liangzhou, because of the chaos in the place and the forces in various places, Wang Qi couldn't kill him for a while. Even if he came, there would be resistance. This is the old minister's suggestion."
Zhao Qian thought for a while and asked, "Mother, what do you think?"
Li Fei said: "This is the only way. Apart from this, we have no other solution."
Zhao Qian said in a deep voice: "In this case, the courtiers must also be brought with them. However, these courtiers are all bringing their families with them, and many of them may not be willing to go. This matter must still be done voluntarily and willingly. Those who want to evacuate with me, just follow me. Those who don¡¯t want to leave, just let them stay."
After a pause, Zhao Qian said: "Mr. Li, go and make arrangements. We will hold a court meeting tomorrow morning and let everyone make their own decisions about leaving."
"Old minister, I obey!"
Li Hongzhong agreed and turned around to leave.
In the main hall, only Li Fei, Zhao Qian and Linghu Qianli were left.
Linghu Qianli said: "Your Majesty, you are too kind. On this occasion, we should go to the national crisis together and resist it together. How can your Majesty let all these people who want to stay stay? This is tantamount to giving We need Wang Qi¡¯s help. What¡¯s more, these people who are unwilling to leave together are betraying His Majesty and should be killed.¡±
Zhao Qian¡¯s eyes were cold and solemn, and he said: ¡°Of course they are going to be killed, but if we don¡¯t let them jump out, how can we identify them?¡±
Linghu Qianli felt his heart tremble when he heard this.
? ???
Zhao Qiandao: "What do you think about it?"
Li Hongzhong stood up and took the lead: "Your Majesty, I would like to accompany you to Liangzhou. My Li family has been bathed in the emperor's favor for generations. Now that your Majesty is moving the capital to Xiliang, the Li family should follow."
Zhao Qian praised: "Shang Shuling is worthy of being an old minister, loyal and courageous, and a model for all officials."
"Your Majesty, I am willing to stay in Chang'an and defend your Majesty from Wang Qi's army."
At this moment, an official stepped forward.
The name of the person who stepped forward was Tian Yu, who is now the Minister of War. This was a confidant promoted by the young emperor Zhao Qian after he ascended the throne, and was entrusted with important tasks, but now Tian Yu is the first to stand up.
"Your Majesty, I am also willing to stay and fight to the death."
Another person stood up.
This person is Qi Yishi, the current Jiujiu of the Imperial College. He is over fifty years old, and when he speaks, he looks righteous and awe-inspiring.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to fight to the death."
"How can I, an official of the Zhou Dynasty, be frightened by Wang Qi? I am willing to fight to the death."
"Your Majesty, I am also willing to stay."
One by one, the courtiers stood up and expressed their opinions. Most of these courtiers have their roots in Chang'an, and all their interests are in Chang'an. If they leave, their local land will be gone, and their influence will be lost after the family moves.
For many reasons, many people are reluctant to leave.
???When these people come together, they are a powerful force. They had talked with each other in private. Considering that the law does not punish everyone, and many people chose to stay, they were not afraid of Zhao Qian's punishment, so they stood up one by one.
If there are few people, we would not dare to act rashly.
Zhao Qian looked at this scene, his face even darker than ink. The reason is simple. With everyone gathered together, this scene has exceeded Zhao Qian's expectations.
The people who have come forward now account for at least 80% of the officials, or even more. The chief officials of the three provinces and six ministries of the DPRK, that is, Li Hongzhong, the minister, Jiang Yuanshan, the minister, and Yang Guilin, the minister, all expressed their opinions and went with them.
Among the governors of the three provinces and the six ministers, in fact, only Li Hongzhong survived the Zhao Zhen dynasty, while the rest were newly promoted and arranged by Zhao Qian.
Now, in addition to the governors of the three provinces, four of the six ministers will stay, as well as the Guozi Jijiu, Dali Temple, and other department officials, most of whom will stay.
The so-called "stay and defend" actually means to stay and surrender, and not to follow Zhao Qian.
This is the real purpose.
The more Zhao Qian thought about it, the more he felt the atmosphere, and the harder it became to suppress his anger, and he gradually became angry. He originally had murderous intent, but now he saw that everyone had come forward, and these people stood up without any hesitation.
Zhao Qian unsheathed his sword and ordered: "I, the Great Zhou Dynasty, will treat you well. You people have enjoyed high-ranking officials and generous salaries, and have received endless benefits. But now you say that you will fight to the death, but in fact, you have to surrender. Wang Qi. You people deserve to die!"
Wow! !
There was an uproar in the main hall.
All the officials who were going to stay were shocked, with disbelief on their faces.
what happened?
How could the emperor go back on his word?
Tian Yu shouted: "Your Majesty, that's not what you said just now. Yesterday, you asked the minister to send a letter, and that's not what you said. Now, the order is changed every morning and night."
Qi Yishi echoed: "Your Majesty, do you want to extirpate yourself from the world?"
The other officials began to agree.
Everyone blamed the emperor.
In their opinion, more than 80% of the ministers in the Manchu dynasty accounted for it, and dozens of prominent and important ministers had to stay. Even if the emperor is dissatisfied in his heart, even if the emperor has some ideas, what can't be done?
Zhao Qian listened to Tian Yu and others talking and looked at them one by one. On his slightly immature face, there was a murderous intention like a sealed demon. He said directly: "Linghu Qianli!"
"exist!"
Linghu traveled thousands of miles to enter.
Zhao Qian flicked his sleeves and said, "Everyone who surrenders to Wang Qi will be killed without leaving any one behind!"
"I obey!"
Linghu Qianli received the order, and with a single order, the Black Dragon Platform killers who had been ambushing on both sides of the hall came out directly and started slashing people with their swords without any hesitation at all.
The screams resounded throughout the hall.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? But these officials in the court are all pampered and have no ability. Even those who can serve in the imperial court are relatively old.
In front of the killers of Heilongtai, he was slaughtered at the first glance. In a short period of time, all the people who wanted to stay were slaughtered, and no one was left.
The smell of blood filled the hall.
Blood flowed, staining the ground of the hall red, and the pools of blood were even more disgusting.
Zhao Qian felt extremely happy when he saw this killing, but he was still a little nauseous. He suppressed the pain in his heart and said in a deep voice: "Linghu Qianli, immediately kill the families of these officials and bring all their money and food to me. Since these people want to surrender to Wang Qi, they all deserve to die." Kill the entire clan."
"yes!"
Linghu Qianli responded directly.
This matter has been decided a long time ago, and he has even mobilized soldiers to prepare. As long as he gives an order, his army will move quickly to wipe out the families of these important ministers in a short period of time.
