"Good news! Good news! General Ye used his secret weapon. The Huns suffered heavy losses. The offensive was temporarily suspended. Bianjing City was once again saved!"
The morning of the next day was only half way through when the news of Chengtou's success had already been delivered to the court.
As soon as the news came out, the whole hall was shocked.
The court was naturally overjoyed and congratulated the officials of the Song Dynasty.
“Congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to your majesty.
The Xiongnu's offensive was blocked again, and there was hope for the defense of Bianjing! "
"Yes, Your Majesty, with General Ye here, our Bianjing is impregnable, and the Huns are nothing to fear!"
…
Among the praises, an inappropriate voice suddenly sounded.
"Your Majesty, why not take advantage of this opportunity and surrender to the Xiongnu as soon as possible? This is the right time!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, if you miss this village, you won't have this shop.
If we don't surrender while we have the advantage, the Huns may not necessarily accept it when we no longer have the advantage. "
"Your Majesty, please think twice. A temporary advantage doesn't mean anything. So since Ye Chong had a secret weapon, why didn't he use it from the beginning?
Obviously his secret weapon has certain limitations, so he hid it until the most critical moment. However, although such a limited weapon can bring us temporary victory, it cannot allow us to win the final victory.
For the current plan, there is only one way to save our Bianjing. Kaicheng surrenders to the Huns and asks for peace. As long as we are sincere enough, the Huns will definitely agree.
At most, we will have a little more money and land, and we can save the city of Bianjing! "
"His Majesty!……"
"His Majesty!……"
Disgusting rats always jump out when everyone is happiest. The noises made by these capitulators almost made Zhao Duan vomit, but they didn't feel it at all.
On the contrary, they felt that what they said was right. If the Song Dynasty did not act according to their ideas, Bianjing City would definitely not be saved.
They were still chattering away, but the ministers who just congratulated them had disgusting faces as if they had eaten rat droppings.
Finally someone couldn't help it anymore and yelled loudly:
"Qian Qianqiu! Don't fart here. Fortunately, you are still a student of sages. At this critical moment of the country, you not only do not contribute to how to protect Bianjing and defeat the barbarians, but you are still here to constantly encourage His Majesty to surrender to the barbarians. What are your intentions? ?
Where have all the books you read gone? Are you worthy of the Holy Master? !
You traitor! "
The scolded official named Qian Qianqiu blushed immediately when he heard this, and immediately shouted back: "Bah! Zhou Qian, don't accuse me from the moral high ground here.
Am I not making plans to protect Bianjing and the Song Dynasty?
Do you think that with the current strength of Bianjing City, you can really defend Bianjing City and stop the Xiongnu? Only by listening to us can Bianjing City get a first-line lift!
The ancients said that only those who can bend and stretch can have a future. In the past, the soldier Han Xin was humiliated, but now in order to save Bianjing City, what happened to his Majesty's surrender to the Huns?
I am doing this all for the sake of the Song Dynasty and His Majesty. How come I have become a traitor when it comes to your mouth? "
"Don't stop making excuses. What does your behavior mean to a traitor?
How can this matter be compared with the humiliation of Marquis Huaiyin? "
"Why not? You old man!..."
"I$#@#$......"
…
The two groups of people immediately started arguing when they disagreed.
What's more, some even started to roll up their sleeves and prepare to perform a full martial arts show in front of the entire court!
Zhao Duan sat on the throne with a livid face and silently watched the farce happening below without saying a word. It was originally a good thing, but now it has become like this.
Until finally someone felt that what they were saying was not satisfying after all, so they raised their bastard fists and were about to hit the opponent in the face!
"enough!"
Zhao Duan shouted loudly!
The entire court fell silent instantly.
The people who had just been waving their fists and preparing to fight were so frightened by the loud shouts that they woke up, regained their consciousness and stood back to their positions, looking too nervous to look up.
Zhao Duan looked around at everyone, his gloomy face seemed to be dripping with water, his oppressive eyes swept across, and everyone shrank their necks in fear.
After a dozen breaths that seemed to be suffocating, Zhao Duan said in a cold voice: "What? Where do you think this is? Caishikou?!
What are your identities? Are you a court official?
What did you want to do just now? Are you going to perform a full show of martial arts in front of me like a rogue?
The dignified officials of the Song Dynasty, like those street gangsters, shook their fists at their colleagues, okay! OK! You are really good!
How about I go to Bianjing City now and bring you hundreds of spectators to see how brave and invincible the officials of the Song Dynasty are in fighting?
How is it? ! "
The ministers suddenly looked panicked and hurriedly bowed down and bowed down.
"Your Majesty, please calm down and we will realize our mistake!"
Zhao Duan sneered: "You know your mistake? Will you know your mistake?
I'm afraid even I would dare to shake my fist if I didn't get anxious! "
"I am terrified!"
"snort!"
Zhao Duan snorted coldly, then stood up straight away and said to everyone: "Ye Chong was able to repel the Huns' offensive. This is a good thing for our Song Dynasty. In addition, I emphasize once again that I, the Song Dynasty, must He will not surrender to the Huns or ask for peace!
Absolutely impossible!
Even if the city of Bianjing is destroyed, even if the Song Dynasty is destroyed, we Song people will have to straighten our backs!
Cui Wen! "
"Old minister is here!"
Cui Wen, the Minister of Household Affairs, immediately stepped forward and handed over his hands to obey the order.
Zhao Duan ordered: "From now on, we will fully supply all kinds of supplies to Long Xiang's army. It has reached this point. You old stingy man, please stop being as stingy as before. Otherwise, I am afraid that the money you save will also be given to the Huns." "
"Your Majesty is joking. I know the importance of this. As long as my household department can still come up with it, I will definitely provide all the supplies requested by General Ye!"
Cui Wen assured.
Zhao Duan nodded slightly, then looked at everyone and said, "Let's do this for today, retreat from the court!"
After saying that, he immediately waved his sleeve cannon, turned around and walked down the imperial steps and walked out. The officials were stunned when they saw this!
Even Cao Shuang was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses and shouted: "Retreat!"
Then he hurriedly followed Zhao Duan's pace.
Walking on the palace road, Cao Shuang had just caught up with him when he heard Zhao Duan's low voice:
"Do you remember all those who said surrender in the court today?"
Cao Shuang nodded quickly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will remember it clearly!"
Zhao Duan raised his head, looked at the gloomy sky, a violent look flashed across his face, and said coldly:
“Just remember it!
These traitors, traitors! Soon! Soon! When the time comes, I will kill you! "
Cao Shuang lowered his head and didn't dare to answer a word.
The group of people walked further and further along the palace road. The palace lanterns on both sides shone dimly in the gloomy weather. When the cold wind blew, there were bursts of rustling sounds, which sounded very strange!
