Achi saw that Yuchen had been shaken, and immediately said with a wry smile: "Mother concubine, father and emperor will not surrender. First time, oh dear"
Yuchen didn't continue, but asked, "Achi, do you want to drop or fight?"
"Mother concubine, there are 500,000 elite soldiers of the Ming army outside Shengjing, and the Ming emperor is like a god. But we only have 100,000 soldiers and horses. The number of soldiers is too big, and the soldiers have no fighting spirit." After the Ming army surrendered, the defenders of Xiangzhou He fulfilled his promise, not only didn't kill them, but also gave them food. These things have long been spread out by interested people.
Originally because of this incident, the military's spirit was fluctuating, and if it snowed again, one can imagine what is going on in the military now. If the two armies fought, they would have no chance of winning half of it. This was also the reason why Achi wanted to surrender. But because Yan Wushuang said that Yan's family had to die in battle and could not surrender, he suppressed this idea. But now Han Jianming's words aroused his thoughts again.
Yuchen understood the meaning of Achi's words: "Mother concubine go and persuade your father."
Achi hesitated and said, "I'm afraid that my father won't agree." His father's attitude was very clear, and he would rather die than surrender.
"Got a try." Not for herself, but for Achi and Abao.
Yuchen took off the jewelry she was wearing, washed off the powder on her face, and went back to the inner room to change into white clothes.
A Chi stared at Yu Chen's outfit and was stunned. Unless it's a dead person in the family, you will only wear a white dress if you want to keep the filial piety. Anyone who wears this way will think it is very unlucky.
Seeing A Chi opened his mouth to ask, Yuchen shook his head lightly. She wears this dress for her own purpose.
If you want to be pretty filial. Even if he was over forty years old, Yu Chen, who was wearing such a white coat, was still so beautiful that people couldn't look away. Everyone met from Ruyi Palace to Yushufang, regardless of gender, looked straight.
After waiting for Yuchen to walk away, the first palace lady said in a low voice: "The imperial concubine is so beautiful, like a fairy descending to the earth."
"Yes, it's so beautiful. Don't you know that the imperial concubine was the number one beauty in the world." Even after so many years, the imperial concubine is still breathtakingly beautiful.
Yan Wushuang was talking to Meng Nian, and was stunned when he saw Yuchen in white, "What are you doing?"
Yuchen knelt on the ground and said: "The emperor, the concubine has already met the eldest brother just now."
Meng Nian didn't want to listen to the conversation between the two, but Yan Wushuang didn't tell him to go down by himself.
Hearing this, Yan Wushuang understood: "Why? Was he moved? Come to persuade me to surrender?" A bit of anger was revealed in the words. Why do they all want to surrender one by one!
Yuchen cried and said, "The emperor, I just want the family to be in peace." She actually wanted to live a peaceful life for a few days. From marrying Yan Wushuang to now, I have been trembling all day, and it is really a solid day every day.
Yan Wushuang was very irritable because of Han Jianming's words, and his mood became even worse when he heard these words: "Go back to your Ruyi Palace."
At this moment, A Chi also knelt down: "Father, please consider carefully."
Yan Wushuang angered upwards, and said coldly: "I told you before that, only the sons of the Yan family have died in battle, not surrendered."
"Father, what did the soldiers of the border town swear to guard Tongcheng for? They want to keep Liaodong safe, so that the people of Liaodong can live and work in peace and contentment. But now that the gods are angry and natural disasters fall, the people of Liaodong are already in danger." In Border City Six In 1988, Achi deeply realized the difficulty of the soldiers in the border city. These zombies really live a day. However, no one flinched. Because they knew that once they retreated, millions of people in the rear would be tortured and killed by the Donghu people. Among these people are their brothers and sisters, as well as their fathers and villagers. Therefore, they cannot be tolerated to back down.
There were tears in Achi's eyes: "Father, Achi is not afraid of death, but Achi doesn't want Shengjing's soldiers to die so worthless, let alone let Wubai freeze to death and starve to death."
Meng Nian originally didn't intend to speak, but now he has to speak: "His Royal Highness, the emperor and Yun Qing share an unshakable hatred. Once we surrender, we will die without a place to be buried."
"We don't surrender, and we will die when the Ming army comes in. Father, you said that the Yan family would rather die in battle than surrender. Father, if you are in Tongcheng now, your sons and ministers must be in armor. They will die on the battlefield. I also decided not to retreat. But the people outside Shengjing are not the Donghu people." The Ming Dynasty implemented a benevolent government. If they surrendered to Liaodong's soldiers and people, they would only benefit, not be persecuted.
After a pause, Achi said again: "Father, if we surrender, we can still negotiate terms with them to let them go to sea. When overseas, even if they want to settle us and get rid of us in the future, we won't be able to wait and die. "After all, there is still a glimmer of life.
Yan Wushuang rubbed his temples and said, "You all go down!" He is really big head now.
Yuchen wanted to say more, but saw A Chi shaking his head towards her. Too much is too late, they have said everything that should be said. Whether or not to surrender depends on the father's own decision.
Meng Nian asked, "The emperor, did you tell the third prince about our arrangements?" Yan Wushuang's original plan was to arrange for A Chi and A Bao to go out to sea and live outside. Of course, if they want to come back in the future, it will be fine. However, you have to change your identity.
Yan Wushuang shook his head: "No, it was his own thought. Meng Nian, do you think you should surrender?" After speaking, he put his hand on a pile of papers. Many of them suggest surrender.
"The emperor, Yun Qing now has the advantage. If it weren't for this snow, I'm afraid that Shengjing City has been broken by them." Therefore, they have to be grateful for this snow. If not, they are probably in a different place.
Yan Wushuang understood: "Do you agree to surrender too?"
Meng Nian didn’t want to surrender either, but now there are only two ways. Either die or surrender. There is no third way: "The emperor, if we don’t surrender, we will have to die. The ants still survive, the emperor, we can do as the three princes said, we can ask for it. Yun Qing agreed with us to go to sea. As for Yun Qing and Han Yuxi want to settle accounts afterwards, don't be afraid. The strong dragon can't beat the local snake, Han Yuxi can never send an army to suppress." When they are overseas, they don't need to be anonymous and can live there with integrity.
After a pause, Meng Nian said again: "Beware of Han Yuxi's murderous attack halfway, we will take Han Jianming as a hostage. After we go to sea, we will release him." Han Jianming has a special status. Big brother. With Han Jianming in hand, Han Yuxi will definitely not kill them. If not, it will definitely chill other people's hearts. As shrewd as Han Yuxi, he would definitely think of it.
After a while, Yan Wushuang said, "But I don't want to drop."
"The emperor, the minister is willing to accompany the emperor to die together. However, the eldest princess and the third prince and the fourth prince are still young. Their lives have just begun. Is it too cruel to let them die with us?" Meng Nian did not Fear of death, but he didn't want to watch the Yan family's bloodline cut off.
Yan Wushuang was silent for a long time, and said, "My hatred has not been avenged yet." His enemies are the Donghu people, except for the Zhou family. His parents were killed by Donghu people. There is no revenge, and he has no face to go to see his parents after death.
Meng Nian felt that this matter was not difficult, and said: "The emperor, we sent the three princes overseas first, and then came back to kill the Donghu people." The princess did not want to leave Liaodong, but she didn't want to come back when she was overseas. 'S back.
Yan Wushuang shook his head and said, "Yun Qing and Han Yuxi will not agree." He was called emperor back then because of the situation, but over the years he deeply realized the difficulty of being an emperor. Therefore, he has no nostalgia for this emperor.
Meng Nian’s thoughts are just the opposite: "The emperor, our request is not excessive, and Yun Qing will definitely agree. But once we return to the Central Plains, I am afraid that we will not be able to leave."
"As long as you can get revenge, it doesn't matter if you die." He had already put life and death out of the question. Those who can't let go now are too many children. As long as they are settled, there will be no more worries.
After thinking about it, Yan Wushuang didn't make a decision immediately, but instead summoned the important officials.
Yan Wushuang opened the door and said, "Han Yuxi sent Han Jianming to surrender us, what's your opinion?"
The six still looked at each other in writing.
The general He Feng stood up and said, "The emperor, you cannot surrender. A man who is a man can only stand to death, never kneel to live."
Mr. Shang Shugeng from the household department stood up and said, "General He, the treasury is empty. There are many soldiers in the army, even cotton-padded trousers." Soldiers without cotton-padded jackets are all enlisted in the spring. In previous years, it snowed in November, so they hadn't prepared yet, which also caused this group of soldiers to shrink in bed now.
He Feng was stuck for a while, and then struck his neck and said, "The Ming army must have started the war while the weather is warm. At that time, the soldiers will also be able to go to battle and kill the enemy."
Master Shang Shugan of the Ministry of War is Yun Qing's iron rod, but this club has to say: "The emperor, the army is distracted, if the Ming army comes over, we will undoubtedly lose." The implication is that it is better to surrender than to resist stubbornly.
"The emperor, must not surrender without a fight." Only the cowardly and weak will surrender without a fight. How can you do such a thing if you are as wise as the emperor.
Yan Wushuang asked the official secretary: "Rong Jianwen, what do you mean?"
Hubu Shangshu and Warbu Shangshu were more euphemistic, but Rong Jianwen directly knelt on the ground and said: "The emperor, for the sake of Liaodong soldiers and the people, the minister hopes that the emperor can accept the surrender of the Ming Dynasty."
Seeing that Yan Wushuang didn't speak, Rong Jianwen continued: "The emperor, as far as Lord Gan said, our battle will undoubtedly be defeated. It is meaningless to persist in fighting this battle, except to increase unnecessary casualties."
He Feng hated these civil servants the most, and they said that the dead were alive. He immediately snorted: "What for the soldiers and the people of Liaodong to say so righteously, I think you are afraid of death."
At this time, no one was in the mood to pinch He Feng, all looked at Yan Wushuang, waiting for his decision.
