It is always human nature to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune.
Perhaps, some heroes have the fearless spirit of "Although there are thousands of people, I will go alone."
But this rare quality obviously does not appear in Zheng's ministers.
Now, in the eyes of these people: Even the extremely powerful Dou Jiande has been defeated! Then they are just in Luoyang, but they are not just a plate of food with chopsticks? Where can I say it can be defended?
So since we couldn't hold on anymore, why didn't we surrender earlier? Maybe you can even get a little wealth in exchange for it.
If it is really what Shan Xiongxin said, he will fight to the death and refuse to surrender!
Then when the city is destroyed in the future, it can be foreseen that it will be the time when they will be buried! Maybe, their entire family will be implicated in being buried with him!
Therefore, facing Shan Xiongxin who was blocking the way to surrender, almost all the ministers tore off the last layer of hypocritical masks and attacked him in groups!
Facing the excited crowd, Shan Xiongxin was no longer as sad and angry as before. At this time, he seemed very calm, and he didn't even think of refuting!
After all, a real lion will not care about the barking of wild dogs around it.
Wang Shichong, who had been hit one after another today, had his chest heaving violently.
The appearance of everyone just now was completely seen in his eyes, but the strange thing was that he didn't feel too much sadness?
"Are we surrendering? Do you want us to survive?"
Saying this sentence unknowingly, Wang Shichong finally understood at this moment: The reason why he was not sad just now was because he had the same mentality as them!
I think back then, Wang Shichong, who occupied Luoyang and wielded his sword all over the world, was already dead!
Now there is only an old Wang Shichong left who is afraid of the way of heaven, afraid of death, and only wants stability!
"surrender?"
Shan Xiongxin's ear was very good. Even if Wang Shichong's words just now were weak, he could still hear them clearly!
Looking at Wang Shichong in disbelief, Shan Xiongxin shouted angrily: "There are only surrendered ministers in the world. How can there be an emperor who surrenders? If a minister surrenders, he can still be a minister. If the emperor surrenders, can he still be an emperor?"
"This..." Wang Shichong, who was hesitant at first, was shouted down by Shan Xiongxin, and the thought of surrender in his heart suddenly wavered again.
yes!
After surrendering, how should I deal with myself? Will the Li Tang family allow themselves, the former emperor, to live in the world? If surrender is also death, then why surrender?
Seeing that the already shaken Wang Shichong began to hesitate again, Yun Dingxing sighed deeply in his heart. He took a step forward, stood in front of Shan Xiongxin and said:
"Ahem...why not? Didn't Liu Chan, the son of Liu Bei of the Three Kingdoms, leave behind the words 'I am happy here, but I don't miss Shu'? If a man can bend and stretch, why not give up a Shu country that is destined to perish in exchange for a lifetime of wealth?"
As soon as Yun Dingxing said these words, it showed that he was already a naked main surrender sect!
If a person like this were placed in front of a tough king, his head should have been chopped off and put on a plate and displayed everywhere.
But in Wang Shichong's case, he was like a placebo, making Wang Shichong's dying heart start to come alive again.
"That's right, like the filial Emperor Liu Chan, I just want the Li family and his son to make the promise in person! I don't ask for any great wealth in this life. As long as I live a stable life, it doesn't seem to be a difficult thing?"
The expression changes on Wang Shichong's face were all seen by Shan Xiongxin.
By the time he saw Wang Shichong's relieved look at the end, Shan Xiong's confidence was already desolate.
"Your Majesty! You cannot surrender to the Tang Dynasty!" Shan Xiongxin knelt down on one knee and used his last strength to persuade in a trembling voice!
Wang Shichong seemed to feel guilty about Shan Xiongxin. He slowly turned his head and turned his back to him and said, "General Shan, don't say any more. How about we wait until daybreak to see Queen Xia with our own eyes before we make a decision?"
Shan Xiongxin clenched his fists little by little. He was not a fool, so he could naturally tell that this was Wang Shichong's excuse!
It turned out that in this country where everyone from top to bottom had thoughts of surrender, he, the only militant faction, automatically became a heretic!
Kneeling on the cold and wet ground, Shan Xiongxin felt that his heart was even colder than the ground at the moment.
"If Your Majesty has made up his mind to leave, then I will have no choice but to fight alone! If I hear of Your Majesty's catastrophe one day, I would rather raise an army from all over the world and fight into Chang'an to repay His Majesty's kindness!"
Saying these words coldly, Shan Xiongxin got down on his knees for the first time and kowtowed three times to Wang Shichong. Then without waiting for Wang Shichong to speak, he suddenly stood up and strode towards the city in the rain!
Wang Renze on the side saw this and was furious! Pointing at Shan Xiongxin's back, he shouted: "Shan Xiongxin, you are rude! You actually cursed His Majesty!"
Shan Xiongxin's footsteps did not stop, and only a cold word came through the sound of rain: "It is not me, Shan Xiongxin, who curses His Majesty to perish the country, but you!"
“Bold!!!”
Countless ministers were filled with shame and anger, roared angrily, and wanted to order the soldiers to take it down, but to their surprise, Wang Shichong waved his hand lightly.
"Let him go, this is me, I'm sorry for him!"
"yes……"
After hearing this, the ministers were reluctant, but they had no choice but to give up. However, no one noticed that there was a strange light flashing in Yun Dingxing's eyes over there.
Under Luoyang City, Xiao Han quickly received a letter from Wang Shichong.
There are not many words on the letter, only a few sentences.
What he said was that he wanted to see Dou Jiande in person before discussing the matter in Luoyang.
However, although there is no mention of surrender in the entire letter, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is an out-and-out surrender! All that is missing is the conditions.
After reading the letter, Xiao Han folded it with satisfaction, put it into a waterproof bamboo tube, and then sent someone to deliver it to Li Shimin quickly.
The messenger rushed away in the rain. Xiao Han rubbed his hands and looked at the old man in front of him who was soaked and shivering.
"Are you Yun Dingxing?"
The old man cupped his hands, and there seemed to be fear in his eyes: "The sinner Yun Dingxing has seen the general!"
Xiao Han squinted his eyes and looked at the old man in front of him.
It has to be said that if he had never heard of Yun Dingxing's name in his previous life, he would have been fooled by this pitiful appearance!
However, as soon as he thought of what the person in front of him had done, the little sense of pity in Xiao Han's heart immediately disappeared, and all that was left was a bone-chilling murderous intention.
How cruel does a person have to be to kill his daughter and son-in-law?
And that's not to mention, after the death of his daughter and son-in-law, he turned around and sold himself to the enemy!
In order to gain trust, he hunted down his own grandson more actively than anyone else! In the end, the blood of his daughter and son-in-law was lost in his hands!
Facing such a guy who is extremely cruel to his own people, no matter how slow Xiao Han is, he knows that this person will never be remembered!
