Chapter 72: surrender

Views:

After hearing the guard's message, Ling Emperor looked surprised and stood up suddenly. He wanted to speak, but he remembered that it was inappropriate for him to do so, so he quickly swallowed what he wanted to say and turned to look at the ministers in the palace.

"My dear friends, what do you think about the visit of the royal envoy? Will I see it or not, and how do I see it?"

How could an emperor take the lead in surrendering and be responsible for the demise of the Han Dynasty in four hundred years? Is it possible to find people under your command to share it

So Emperor Ling looked insidiously in the direction of his ministers and said, he was not afraid that they would shut up and refuse to answer his words at such a critical moment.

It was the time to express their loyalty to the emperor. If they didn't speak out, wouldn't it mean that they were interested in the Han Dynasty and had two minds

And for some people who want to stand out and gain a certain status in the Royal Kingdom, this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is exactly what they are looking for but can't find!

Sure enough, at this moment in the court, Sikong Wang Yun stood up. He spoke loudly to the emperor:

"Your Majesty, the two countries are at war and the envoys will not be killed. Now that the imperial envoys are coming to visit, how can I, a big man, not accept the visit? Doesn't this mean that I, a big man, have lost his momentum!"

These words were spoken with righteousness, as if the Han Dynasty had the upper hand and he was a gentleman, a loyal minister and a righteous man.

However, people who really understand the situation at this moment will definitely spit in their hearts after hearing this. Bah, that sounds nice. Who doesn’t know that you want the Emperor of Spirit to recruit the deceased and then perform well in front of the envoy? Fortunately, with the second owner, I can have a good future.

After Emperor Ling heard this, he felt sick in his heart and secretly despised this person. Why didn't he realize that this sanctimonious guy was so hypocritical before

However, one person finally came out to answer his words, turned around and looked around, and saw that the others had no intention of moving, so he had to continue.

"Since Wang Aiqing is so sincere, then Wang Aiqing should go to greet the envoy! I believe that Aiqing will not disappoint me and lose my dignity as a man!"

He reluctantly agreed, but he still wanted to disgust this villain, making him so eager to betray the big man so that he could have a good impression in front of his new master.

"Well, yes, I will live up to my trust, and I will definitely entertain the royal envoys so that they can see the majesty of my great Han Dynasty."

He was inexplicably choked, but for this opportunity to be able to get up close to the envoy of the Imperial Kingdom, the General Zhengdong, who had hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, Wang Yun would not refuse this great opportunity because of his face, so he was still very happy. 's agreed.

Ta-ta-ta-ta, with Wang Yun's voice, the sound of footsteps spread farther and farther, and gradually disappeared into nothing. The entire hall fell into bursts of silence again. The empty hall fell completely silent, with only the crowd. The sound of Chen Di's breathing came slowly.

A few moments later, Sikong Wang Yun rushed all the way to the main gate of Luoyang. He quickly ordered the guards to open the gate and welcome the imperial envoys from outside the city into the city.

There was a creaking sound, and the heavy and thick door was opened by dozens of soldiers, and then dozens of honor guards lined up neatly, with Wang Yun standing in the middle,

As the door opened, Wang Yun bowed down and said loudly: "Wang Yun, a young minister from the lower country, is here to welcome the envoy from the upper country. I hope that the envoys from the three countries will not blame you for your neglect!"

What he said and did could be said to be respectful to the extreme, perfectly demonstrating the true nature of a treacherous and traitorous minister, just like Qin Hui of the Song Dynasty.

"It's okay, Mr. Wang, please get up and announce the order. It's common sense to spend some time. What's the crime?"

Han Kai was also a little surprised by Wang Yun's shamelessness, but he still followed his words. Anyway, these are beneficial to his country. Why should he refuse others' repayment for Han's shameless things

Along the way, on the way to Luoyang Palace City, the two lovers talked harmoniously. The compliments and flattery were endless, and the atmosphere was very harmonious and harmonious.

Time passed very quickly when someone was talking, especially when one person was complimenting and enjoying it alone. It didn't take long for them to feel that they had arrived at the palace. After a brief greeting, Wang Yun led Han Kai into Luoyang. Within the palace city.

Along the way, Wang Yun introduced the layout of the palace to Han Kai, as well as various allusions. He spoke clearly and logically, as if he was selling real estate to others, praising the benefits of his own house.

This kind of shameless person has no moral integrity at all, and he can't wait to sell his master in order to get a share of credit.

Not to mention Han Kai, even the subordinates around Wang Yun looked a little bit uncomfortable and turned their heads away with blushing faces, embarrassed to look at Han Kai.

Finally, although Wang Yun kept introducing various scenic spots along the way, after all, the distance from the palace gate to the main hall was not very long, and he arrived in front of the main hall in just a moment.

She looked at Han Kai with a somewhat embarrassed expression, and awkwardly asked him to wait here. She immediately went to report to His Majesty so that he could receive him immediately, and then hurriedly walked into the main hall.

In the main hall, Emperor Ling, who was waiting impatiently, saw Wang Yun approaching. He looked very surprised and said, "Wang Aiqing, the envoy has arrived, what is his attitude?"

Wang Yun also said with a happy face: "Your Majesty, you are actually waiting outside the palace gate, waiting for your Majesty's summons, and the envoy is also very kind and sincerely expressed the greetings of the Emperor of the Kingdom to your Majesty!"

"Oh, he's already here. Summon him quickly. I can't wait to meet the royal envoy!"

As Emperor Ling's words fell, Wang Yun immediately left the palace and came to Han Kai who was waiting outside the door. He led him into the palace to pay homage to Emperor Ling.

Han Kai slowly entered the palace. After some courtesy, he expressed the emperor's goodwill towards Emperor Ling, and then slowly spoke out his main topic.

"Emperor Han, His Majesty the Emperor sent an envoy to pay a visit like the Emperor of Han. In addition to expressing greetings, he also discussed the current war!" Han Kai did not get too wordy and directly pointed out the main topic.

After hearing Han Kai's words, Emperor Ling's face froze, and he secretly said in his heart, is he finally here? The four hundred years of this great Han Dynasty will be ruined in my hands.

"Messengers don't need to be polite, just say what you want. I'm here to listen!" Emperor Ling's words caused a burst of inexplicable sadness among the few loyal ministers in the court, and the cries gradually began to sound.

"Now my army is approaching the city, with millions of troops, good generals worth ten thousand yuan, and countless advisers like ministers across the river. But now the Han Dynasty is trapped in the isolated city. It is already dusk and he cannot hold on for long. I hope that the Emperor of the Han Dynasty will take care of the people of Luoyang. , Kaicheng surrenders to avoid the disaster of sword fighting!"

Some powerful and confident words came out of Han Kai's mouth, and many people in the town's court changed their expressions and turned a little pale.

The same was true for Emperor Ling. His face was a little pale, and a small amount of sweat gradually broke out on his forehead. However, he still managed to cheer up and said in a weak tone:

"Then I wonder what happened to my Han clan members after Kaicheng surrendered. Was the entire clan exterminated? Or were they exiled for thousands of miles?"

After hearing Emperor Ling's questions, Han Kai understood that the aloof emperor in front of her had lost the spirit in her heart and had shaken his determination to resist.

The reason that kept him from giving up resistance was that he was afraid that he would encounter a tragic fate after surrendering.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile, and slowly told the conditions he had obtained from Zhong Yu. Emperor Ling's originally frightened face suddenly became happy, and he said in surprise: "So, I am willing to surrender!"
