Zhang Yuejing collected his emotions, handed the yellow silk in his hand to He Feihu beside him, and stepped forward to help Zhang Shi up.
This happened really suddenly.
How could this group of people be so decisive?
"Well... the incident happened suddenly, and I lost my composure a little bit. That... that Privy Councilor Zhang, I... I really want to know, where is the deposed emperor?"
Zhang Yuejing looked at Zhang Shi.
"The deposed emperor is imprisoned in the palace."
Zhang Shi smiled and said: "From the deposed emperor down, except for the new emperor, everyone in the entire palace has been controlled, because except for the new emperor, everyone else wants to disobey the Ming Dynasty. This is very important to the Ming Dynasty." It's disrespectful.
The Ming Dynasty is a superior country, and this country is a vassal country. It is a great crime for the following to commit a crime. Therefore, the new king agrees with this matter and does not hesitate to destroy relatives for justice, but also to maintain good neighborliness and friendship between the Ming Dynasty and his country. "
Good guy, the whole house is full of filial piety to a kind father and a loving son. This is...
While Zhang Yuejing was dumbfounded, Zhou Zhi came to his senses and said, "It's empty talk. Why do we believe that you have a coup, instead of some expedient measure? Isn't it delaying time for evil purposes?"
Well, that makes sense.
But Zhang Shi didn't panic at all.
"We will naturally convince the generals of our sincerity."
As Zhang Shi said, he took Zhang Yuejing and other generals outside the military tent and asked them to look at several large boxes outside the military tent.
"One of the truce requirements of the Ming Dynasty to our country is to punish war criminals. In addition to the deposed emperor, the main war criminals of our country are Yu Yunwen. It was these two people who conspired to destroy the Ming Dynasty's Yellow River dam, which triggered the war and made the Ming Dynasty His Majesty the Emperor was furious, so not only did Ming Dynasty hate these two people, my country also hated these two people."
Zhang Shi nodded and asked his subordinates to open one of the boxes and take out the guy inside who was gagged and still struggling.
"The deposed emperor is still in the palace, but Yu Yunwen can be handed over to Commander Zhang in advance as a sign of our sincerity in seeking peace."
Yu Yunwen, who was tied up by Wu Huada, was treated roughly and dragged to Zhang Yuejing.
Then the cloth gagged his mouth was removed.
As soon as the cloth ball was taken off, Yu Yunwen started roaring.
"Zhang Shi!!! I want your life! I want to kill you! You traitor! You traitor! You shameless person who sells himself for glory! I want to kill you! Kill you!!!"
Obviously, Yu Yunwen hated Zhang Shi more than the generals of the Ming army.
So Zhang Shi pointed at Yu Yunwen, who was roaring.
"Pingzhangjun State Affairs, Privy Envoy, City Defense Envoy, the person who holds the military and political power in Lin'an City, Yu Yunwen, this weight should be enough to convince the Ming Dynasty of our country's sincerity, right?"
Zhang Yuejing had never seen Yu Yunwen, but He Feihu stood up next to him and said: "Commander, he is indeed Yu Yunwen. I have seen him before in Zhongdu. It is him, yes."
Professionals came forward to certify it, so this person is indeed Yu Yunwen.
And looking at the crazy and angry look in his eyes, it would be really incredible if this was really an act.
This man is definitely a first-rate actor.
In addition to Yu Yunwen, Zhang Shi also brought four boxes, which contained the living bodies of Wang Dabao and the dead bodies of Hu Quan, Wang Shipeng and Chen Junqing.
They were all well-known war-fighting officials in the Southern Song Dynasty. They had a high status and had great influence on the government. They contributed to the resistance to the Ming Dynasty, which made the previous peace talks unsuccessful. .
According to the requirements of the Ming Dynasty, they are also standard war criminals and need to be handed over.
It's a pity that except Wang Dabao, the other three people died in yesterday's coup and were not handed over to the Ming Dynasty alive. Of course, the person the Ming Dynasty wanted alive was Yu Yunwen. The others were dead or alive. It shouldn't be a big problem, right?
Zhang Shi said so.
Of course, Zhang Yuejing knew that this would not be a big problem, but it was so sudden that Zhang Yuejing also needed some time to relax.
Because after all, there is a possibility that [Yu Yunwen and others would sacrifice themselves to attract the Ming army to take the bait and destroy the Ming army's plan to attack Lin'an]. According to Zhang Yuejing's idea, all this must be guarded against.
Being forced into this situation, who dares to say that there is no possibility for Lin'an to do this?
So Zhang Yuejing thought carefully and weighed the pros and cons.
After about a stick of incense, Zhang Yuejing expressed his thoughts to Zhang Shi.
"In this situation, I can't make a final decision yet, but if you can send the deposed emperor Zhao Yan, his two sons, and their families to the custody of my army, then, I completely believe that you really want peace talks.
Then I will order the main force of the army to retreat, leaving only a small number of garrison troops. After that, only a small number of troops will enter the city with us. The Ming army will not fully occupy Lin'an, nor will it force you to do anything, nor will it cause any harm to Lin'an. Destruction, can you agree to this request? "
Zhang Shi thought for a while and nodded.
"In this case, I will go back immediately to ask for instructions from the new king. I will come back soon to give Commander Zhang an answer, but I also ask Commander Zhang not to attack the city rashly and damage the trust between the two countries."
"I can promise."
Zhang Yue nodded.
Zhang Shi then rushed back with the envoys, leaving behind the meeting gifts they brought - the living Yu Yunwen and Wang Dabao, and the dead Hu Quan, Wang Shipeng and Chen Junqing.
Zhou Zhi and others gathered around Zhang Yuejing and asked Zhang Yuejing why he did this. Will they do it?
"Since you have decided to surrender, you must be prepared to pay anything. If you are not prepared at all, it only means that they do not really want to surrender. Besides... How can this be a coup that a prince can initiate? Zhao Min himself has only been on the throne for a few years? What power can his son have? It is clearly something that only high-ranking officials can do... Am I right? Mr. Yu? "
Zhang Yuejing looked at the livid Yu Yunwen with a mocking look on his face.
"Hmph, I accidentally fell into the hands of a villain and suffered such a misfortune. The fall of the Song Dynasty is imminent. Although I have the intention to kill the thief, I can't save it... That's it. The matter has come to this. It's useless to talk more. You want to kill me. , just kill me, otherwise I will be a slave to the subjugation of the country."
Zhang Yuejing sneered.
"Of course you will die, but not now. I can't explain your sin clearly. Ming Dynasty will naturally give you a fair judgment."
"just?"
Yu Yunwen suddenly laughed out loud: "I wonder if the fair judgment of the Ming Dynasty can save me from death?"
"You are plotting to destroy the dams of the Yellow River and endanger the safety of millions of living beings in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River. Do you think you can escape death? Do you think if you escape death, how will millions of living beings in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River view this matter?"
"Hmph, talking more is useless, kill me quickly!"
Yu Yunwen's face turned cold.
Zhang Yuejing shook his head.
"That won't work. I don't have the power to kill you. According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, only the Third Department of Justice can decide your death. It has nothing to do with me. I just need to capture you and complete my mission. As for the rest, naturally Someone will come to deal with you, but before that, you can witness the end of the Southern Song Dynasty with your own eyes."
Yu Yunwen's face froze, showing pain.
"Shameless."
He squeezed out two words through his teeth.
"If these two words are given to you unchanged, you are truly shameless, have no conscience, and are not worthy of being a human being."
Zhang Yuejing was not angry and asked with a smile: "Let me ask you something. Logically speaking, you are in charge of the military and political power in Lin'an City. The army in the city is all under your control. How did those people capture you?"
