This was simply a naked threat, without any room for negotiation. He was forcing his woman to take her. Wu Gongling was so angry that his teeth were itching.
If he really agreed to this, where would he put his face
But Meng Shanming's presence at the front line was really a big shock to him. He had a cold face, his eyes were cloudy, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"May I ask, Your Majesty, what is going on?" Prime Minister Zi Pingxiu tried to ask.
Wu Gongling said nothing. With a wave of his hand, the military situation and Meng Shanming's message reached the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs.
After everyone took turns to watch, everyone was also frightened. Meng Shanming came to the front line in person and threatened to start a war, which put a lot of pressure on everyone.
For the entire Song Dynasty, Meng Shanming was the haze that shrouded the hearts of the people of the Song Dynasty, repeatedly causing great damage to the Song Dynasty. It seemed that no one in the Song Dynasty could stop it.
After being silent for a while, Wu Gongling suddenly asked: "What do you think?"
How else to watch? The water thrown out by what you say is not easy to take back. Changing your words is a slap in the face, so no one changes their position easily. It is still a dispute between two different opinions.
One side believes that even Meng Shanming has arrived in Bozhou, and Bozhou is not Niu Youdao's territory, which shows that Zijindong has unified its opinions and is very likely to start a war. One side feels that the current situation in Yan country is to restore its vitality, and it is unlikely to start a war recklessly. It is purely to scare people.
After fighting over and over again, no one was sure what would happen, and no one dared to risk their own lives.
Seeing that there is no result in the quarrel, bang! Wu Gongling suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist, waved a cold light, and cut off a corner of the desk with a clean sword. The hall was silent for a moment, and he said with a ferocious face: "The thief Yan is too cruel! How can my woman do it?" If you give someone away easily, you can kill but not humiliate me. I have made up my mind. I would rather be broken into pieces than to be ruined. I vow to fight to the death with the Yan thief! Anyone who dares to stop me will be treated like this case!"
Everyone in the hall looked at each other. Some people accepted the order and responded with their hands, while others were worried.
After the civil and military ministers dispersed, Wu Gongling stood with his sword in his hand, his face uncertain, and his heart equally worried.
Behind the curtain, Dan Dongxing came out and took the military information and Mengshan Ming's message to read. After reading it, he frowned and asked, "Your Majesty, what should I do?"
Wu Gongling: "I'm thinking of a way."
Shan Dongxing: "Why not report to the three major factions quickly and ask them to find a solution?"
Wu Gongling snorted coldly, "Can you keep this secret? Even if you don't report it, they will know it soon. Even if they know it, so what, once the Yan State really goes to war, based on the current national strength of the Song State, do you think the three major factions will Can you stop it?"
…
At the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zi Pingxiu came back in the evening. After entering the mansion, he went directly to the west courtyard, entered Jia Wuqun's yard, walked under the tree and sat next to Jia Wuqun.
The servants were already familiar with the way, and two servants quickly moved over the special shelf where Jia Wuqun wrote questions and answers, and placed the ground pen and ink next to it.
After the servants retreated, Zi Pingxiu said: "Niu Youdao's influence on the Yan Kingdom's military is indeed very important, and the intimidation posture he put up is not small. Not to mention that the entire Yan Kingdom's troops were mobilized, and even more... Meng Shanming was sent to the Bozhou front line in person to set up a battle formation..." He introduced the military situation and Meng Shanming's message, as well as the reactions of the civil and military ministers of North Korea and China.
Jia Wuqun wrote down and asked him: What is the current reaction
Zi Pingxiu said: "I drew my sword and chopped open the case. I swore that I would rather break the jade than the whole tile. I vowed to fight to the end with the Yan Kingdom. If anyone dares to dissuade me, the end will be like the chopped case. Sir, we are afraid this time It’s a self-defeating thing, I don’t know if Niu Youdao is really fighting, but His Majesty is determined to fight to the death!”
Jia Wuqun wrote to him: War, what to fight with? Domestic order has just been restored to stability, and even basic supply and demand cannot be guaranteed. The people's minds are uncertain, and the soldiers have no morale. Where can we raise combat supplies in a short period of time? If you start a war, you will lose, he will not know it!
Zi Pingxiu shook his head: "Your Majesty, you don't know how powerful the Korean army was when they invaded the country, but did your Majesty make any concessions? Everyone said they wanted to negotiate for peace, and even the three major factions wanted to negotiate, but your Majesty insisted on going his own way. Fight to the death, this is a lesson learned from the past. Now that His Majesty is determined to fight bloody battles, how can it be a child's play!"
"Ho ho..." Jia Wuqun looked up to the sky and laughed. Without his tongue, his laughter was a bit weird.
He shook his head and wrote on the paper: If I didn't know a thing about him, how could I dare to give advice to Niu Youdao? Wu Jun is indeed somewhat capable, better than Mu Zhuozhen, but he appears to be tough, but in fact he is fierce in appearance but soft in heart. How many times had he dared to fight head-on on the battlefield? If they encounter a serious challenge, they will flee all the way in the Yan Kingdom, and they will hide and hide when fighting with the Han army in the Song Kingdom. They dare not face a head-on confrontation, so how can they dare to fight to the death with the Yan army? This man is very knowledgeable. Why did the Prime Minister think that he would be strong
The blank space was filled, and after turning the page, he wrote another line and passed it to the other party: Prime Minister, do you dare to make a bet with me? I predict that he will bear the humiliation and make friends with you!
Seeing that he was so determined, Zi Pingxiu said "Oh", frowned and thought slowly: "If you can fight with the Korean army, why can't you do this with the Yan army?"
Jia Wuqun shook his head and wrote: This moment is the same as the other moment, as the old saying goes, this person is very knowledgeable! How can a ruthless and unjust person draw a bottom line? How can he remain unyielding for a woman
Zi Pingxiu sighed: "I hope, as Mr. said, it would be best if we didn't fight. Song State really can't stand the torment."
After all, he was the prime minister of the Song Dynasty and had been the prime minister for many years. In his heart, he still hoped that the Song Dynasty would be well.
Jia Wuqun knew what he was thinking, so he didn't say anything more about it, and drank the tea slowly.
At this moment, the housekeeper came in a hurry, saluted Zi Pingxiu and then Jia Wuqun, and then reported to Zi Pingxiu: "Prime Minister, Dan Dongxing, the head of Tongxian Pavilion, is here."
Zi Pingxiu asked: "What's the matter?"
Butler: "I don't know. I just said that I came to visit the Prime Minister."
"Come to visit me at this time..." Zi Pingxiu twisted his beard to ponder his intention, but saw Jia Wuqun put down the tea cup and wrote a line of words and passed it to him: The lobbyist is here!
Looking at Jia Wuqun, seeing that the latter seemed to be smiling but not smiling, Zi Pingxiu stood up and left thoughtfully.
The celebrity next to Wu Gongling was naturally an honored guest. When the guests and hosts took their seats in the main hall, Jia Wuqun also appeared. He walked slowly to the door and stood under the eaves to listen. If anyone dared to eavesdrop on the Prime Minister's conversation, they would be driven away. He was like this. The guards and the like just looked at him, and no one felt anything unusual.
After some polite greetings in the main hall, Zi Pingxiu asked, "What advice does Master Shan have here?"
Dan Dongxing waved his hand, "It's not about giving advice. It's true that I came here to ask for advice. To make a long story short, the Prime Minister is familiar with the national conditions of the Song Dynasty. I dare to ask the Prime Minister, is the current national strength of the Song Dynasty enough to fight against the Yan Kingdom?"
Zi Pingxiu shook his head and sighed: "Everything is stretched thin, and Master Shan knows it very well. He really can't stand the trouble."
Dan Dongxing asked strangely: "When the Song Dynasty was in danger of life and death, the Prime Minister was the head of the officials. Why didn't he advise His Majesty, but instead sat back and watched the Song Dynasty fall into crisis?"
Zi Pingxiu smiled bitterly: "I would like to persuade him, but you have seen His Majesty's attitude. Who dares to persuade you to cut your sword and make your will clear?"
Dan Dongxing exclaimed: "Prime Minister, Prime Minister, your Majesty has a strong temperament, but your Majesty is not an unreasonable person..."
After hearing this, Jia Wuqun, who was outside the room, turned around and left first. He didn't have anything nice to say. He kept saying the same thing over and over again.
All in all, I hope that Zi Pingxiu will not protect himself in this situation, but put national affairs first and bravely stand up to dissuade him.
After seeing off the distinguished guests, Zi Pingxiu returned to the west courtyard and sat across from Jia Wuqun. He had just said a few words about Dan Dongxing's purpose when Jia Wuqun raised his hand and turned the cardboard, revealing a line of words for him to read: I have heard it.
He picked up the pen and wrote another line and turned it to him: The man is looking for the bottom of the steps.
Zi Pingxiu chuckled and shook his head: "Although he never mentioned that it was His Majesty's intention, how could I not know that he came with His Majesty's instructions. Alas, it seems that I am very busy tonight."
Jia Wuqun: It’s not a bad thing! In the past, he could not listen to advice, but once he got started, the rules gradually became established, and he gradually became a cocoon!
Zi Pingxiu nodded. It was true. Once he listened to the advice this time, and if the officials refused to listen to the advice in the future, everyone would know that Wu Gongling was looking for a way down the stairs this time. He was afraid of getting into trouble and gave his wife to someone else. But It's not a glorious thing.
He was indeed busy, so he ordered people to find hundreds of officials one after another. He, the leader of the officials, was able to instigate the officials to overthrow Mu Zhuozhen, so he would naturally have some influence this time.
Of course, Zi Pingxiu would not say that this was what Wu Gongling meant, and he should not say nonsense. Wu Gongling's attitude was to fight to the death with the Yan army. Anyone who dares to slander is seeking death.
In the court hall the next day, facing the admonitions of hundreds of officials, Wu Gongling roared angrily: "If I had killed that bitch earlier, I would not be in trouble today. It would have been all because of your persuasion. Now the facts are before our eyes, that bitch and Yan The thieves secretly colluded. Fortunately, I destroyed her. Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous. I have made up my mind and vow to fight to the death with the Yan thieves. You will stop talking nonsense!" After saying this, he threw away his sleeves angrily.
However, the officials refused to give up. After leaving the court, Zi Pingxiu led the officials outside the imperial study and asked to see Wu Gongling.
Wu Gongling refused to meet him, and Zi Pingxiu winked outside the royal study. Immediately, someone knelt down and kowtowed, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, the Song Dynasty cannot withstand the hardships. Your Majesty, please bear the humiliation and bear the burden for the Song Dynasty!"
"I beg your Majesty to endure the humiliation and bear the burden!" Someone took the lead, and a group of people knelt down one after another. Finally, they all knelt down, including Zi Pingxiu, an old bone.
A group of people were crying and crying. Some people cried so much that their noses and tears came out. Some people even knocked their heads and their foreheads bled.
The scene was so horrific that even the palace guards who rushed to watch were secretly sighing and sighing. They were all loyal ministers and were not even afraid of death.
In short, if His Majesty does not agree, these people would rather die and kneel down until His Majesty agrees.
At the same time, after the heads of the three major sects of the Song Dynasty, Guan Jitai of Lingxiao Pavilion, Qu Fan of Blood Temple, and Wu Chengyu of Split Heaven Palace, figured out the situation, they quickly rushed to Zijin Cave to demand explanations. They had to come quickly. Meng Shanming's message only gave the Song Dynasty three days. Naturally, they came here to resolve the conflict.
