And some people also mentioned the affairs of the Song Dynasty. The two Song Dynasties negotiated peace with Liao, Jin, and Mongolia. What was the end result?

It was so similar when the Jin army approached Kaifeng. We must not be careless and make a big mistake.

One side is impassioned, but the other side is unambiguous. They say that Jinghai has been defeated, Tianjin has been broken, and the rebel army is approaching the capital. The world has been shaken. You talk about war. If you win, everything will be fine. What will happen if you lose? Have you ever thought about it?

If the safety of the emperor is just for the sake of personal gain, then there is no point in talking about loyalty. Now that the bandit army has occupied Tianjin, the north and south have been cut off, and the capital is such an important place that the royal family and the court have no room to move. You are talking about war because you want to ignore the Tian family.

, and don’t you care about the imperial court?

"Your thoughts are nothing more than clinging to power and position, fearing that Sun Ge will come back and destroy your glory and wealth. With such selfish motives, have you ever thought about the country and the country of Ming Dynasty? Have you ever considered it for your Majesty?" Arguing

In the end, everyone was so angry that they didn't care whether they were hurt or not.

As soon as he said this, Ye Xianggao stood up with a wry smile and stood where he was. Although his name kept being mentioned in front of him, these things had nothing to do with him now. The atmosphere in the room was tense.

Your words and my words were even more noisy, and Emperor Tianqi's increasingly gloomy face foreshadowed the coming storm. Chief Assistant Ye Xianggao suddenly found that he was very relaxed. The burden of constant leakage had been lifted from his shoulders. No matter how he went on,

, it has nothing to do with myself.

When it comes to being in love with power and position and fearing that Sun Chengzong will return to Beijing, Zhao Nanxing also changes his face and starts to argue. A big boss like him is just orienting himself and will not participate at all. But at this time, there must be someone

Important people have to say harsh words, otherwise there will be no way to deal with it. So far, Emperor Tianqi has not spoken out, but Wei Zhongxian has always lowered his head.

Zhao Nanxing, the Secretary of the Ministry of Personnel, looked back at Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou from the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Both of them were fierce and hard-tempered. They never fell behind others in political disputes, and they had no taboos in speaking. In such a scene,

The following is most suitable.

What's even more rare is that Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou are upright people with poor family backgrounds. They have no shortcomings to use when arguing and making suggestions. They are sharp weapons for Donglin and other factions to argue. But what Zhao Nanxing didn't expect was that these two

The man actually didn't step out of the queue, and when he met his eyes, he shook his head solemnly.

Zhao Nanxing knew what they were thinking. At this juncture, the most important thing was to seek peace and let the Xuzhou thieves retreat, rather than engage in meaningless disputes in the court. The two of them were thinking about the country and the country.

Take care of the overall situation there.

"I really don't know the importance!" Zhao Nanxing, the Minister of Civil Affairs, cursed in his heart. Those who have ruined their brains by studying can only serve the country and the people if they have power. If this power is gone, what else can they talk about.

Zhao Nanxing cursed in his heart, but his face was solemn, and he coughed. As the co-leader of several factions in the DPRK, this statement immediately silenced the scene. Even the opposing factions remained silent, waiting for Zhao Nanxing.

As Nan Xing spoke, the emperor and Wei Zhongxian also paid attention.

"The traitors say they want to negotiate for peace, so you should go and negotiate for peace. Since the Ming Dynasty, our ancestors and ancestors have never negotiated peace with the traitors. What's more, this is asking for peace because of defeat, not to mention such activities that lose power and humiliate the country.

Everyone, do you really want to hand over the prefectures and counties in Shandong and South Zhili and north of the Yangtze River to the thieves?" Zhao Nanxing sounded stern.

Although he was speaking to the civil and military officials inside and outside the house, he was actually speaking to Emperor Tianqi.

"What is there under the jurisdiction of Governor Fengyang of Nanzhili? There are the ancestral mausoleums and the Longxing Temple, which is the place where this dynasty started. What else is there? There is a salt tax and grain must be collected. It is not only related to the ancestral temple, but also this

The lifeline of the world, and giving up everywhere there is equivalent to letting the thieves drink from the Yangtze River, letting the thieves coerce and plot the fertile land in the south of the Yangtze River, and then take all of Nanzhi into their hands. What is this? This will dig up the dynasty's

Lifeline, let this dynasty have no money and no food. If we agree to this, what is the difference between that and the subjugation of the country? Why should we negotiate for peace? Wouldn't it be better to just surrender?"

Zhao Nanxing's words could be said to be unscrupulous and even disrespectful to the emperor, but they were to the point. Although Emperor Tianqi's face was ashen, he still listened carefully.

"Then the peace agreement didn't mention that the salt tax and water transportation should remain the same?" someone was muttering below.

"Can the words of the thieves be trusted? The Xuzhou thieves are just slaves, slaves, street vendors, and scum. How can these people keep their word? How can they remain indifferent to benefits like salt tax and water transportation?

, the imperial court had no salt tax, no water transportation, no money, food and population in Shandong and Nanzhi, so the injured could not stop the bleeding, and all the blood was drank by the thief, and the more he drank, the stronger he became, not to mention those ports, those few

Every port is an important place. If the thieves occupy it, they will definitely collude with the Japanese pirates and invade the heart. What will happen when the time comes? Will we have to cede the land again? Will there be no way to secede it? "

Zhao Nanxing was righteous and awe-inspiring. At this time, the sunlight came in from the door and window and shone on him. His whole person seemed to be enveloped in golden light. He was truly a famous minister and was extremely sacred.

Emperor Tianqi and Wei Zhongxian looked at each other and could see each other's helplessness. They glanced at everyone in the room. Those who had advocated peace just now also fell silent. Zhao Nanxing, the Minister of Civil Affairs, said so much just to preserve the power of his own faction.

He refused to allow Sun Chengzong to return to the capital and join the cabinet, but no one could refute what he said.

Amid the heated discussions, even the emperor would not cede away the ancestral mausoleum or Fengyang Mansion in the Land of Longxing, nor could he cede away all aspects related to water transportation and salt tax, even though Xuzhou had stated that these places were not being negotiated for peace.

Within the range, Zhao Nanxing blocked everyone's words by saying, "The words of a thief can be believed."

Emperor Apocalypse frowned. When he discovered that the dictatorship of the Holy King was just a written statement, anything he wanted to do would cause endless debates in the inner court and outside the court. After discovering this, Emperor Apocalypse began to "indulge in pleasure" and go play

The carpenter Baixi asked Wei Zhongxian to take care of everything at the front desk, but now that the situation was critical and the emperor had to make a decision, he still couldn't implement his own ideas, which made him feel frustrated.

As long as this main battle is correct and as long as the war with the thieves continues, there will be opportunities for repetition. No one can say that the original strategy of suppressing Xuzhou was wrong. Naturally, there will be no change of chief and assistant. Donglin's current situation is still

Whether it can be maintained, whether it can be defeated, and whether the thief army can agree, no one will consider it. Those who can have a place in this room are the top elites of the Ming Dynasty, and they also have their own judgment on the current situation. The Xuzhou thief

Having already arrived at an important place like Tianjin, they took the initiative to make peace instead of attacking the capital. This must be because there is a reason why they cannot enter, or because they are unable to succeed, or there are other reasons.

In other words, the current situation in the capital is actually not that critical. Since the Ming Dynasty, various Mongolian tribes have taken turns rising up on the grasslands. At that time, Oara, and later Anda, both led their armies to the city walls of the capital, but in the end they were only near misses.

, no matter how strong the Xuzhou thieves are, they can still be stronger than the Mongolians on the grassland. If they fail this time, or the court sends troops to drive them away, those who agreed to and participated in the peace negotiation will probably be liquidated or even convicted.

It is precisely because of this thought that no one dared to refute Zhao Nanxing's harsh words. He stated the consequences, but everyone felt that they could not bear it. They were even more worried that if they persisted now, they would be liquidated in the future, so no one said anything.

Emperor Tianqi glanced at Wei Zhongxian again, and Wei Zhongxian nodded. He knew that the emperor asked him to speak, but the eunuch, the chief of etiquette, had a weak confidence to speak while waiting for the court meeting, and the effect was really difficult to say.

But the impassioned Zhao Nanxing would not even give him this chance. He had been nervously paying attention to the interaction between the monarch and his ministers. Seeing this, Zhao Nanxing knelt down directly with tears streaming down his face. He choked and said: "Your Majesty, fight with that thief.

If you take one step back, you will be shattered into pieces. If you take one step back, you will be doomed. You must not fall into the thieves' delaying strategy. At this opportunity, you should select the loyal and good elites to send troops to Tianjin to wipe out the traitor army. Otherwise, the country will be in turmoil and the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty will not.

Promise!"

He knelt down here, and everyone in his party knelt down one after another, echoing Zhao Nanxing's words in unison, as if the emperor would not get up if he did not agree.

"Long live my lord, they have started using these rogue methods again, why not" Wei Zhongxian whispered in Emperor Tianqi's ear.

Just as he was speaking, Wei Zhongxian raised his head. More than one person in the room made the same move. Everyone heard the rapid footsteps coming from outside the room. In such a large forbidden area, even a sneeze had to be covered.

He said, "It's such a solemn occasion, why are there such rapid footsteps? It's definitely not a lack of etiquette, but something important."

"There is an urgent matter, let us in quickly!" The footsteps stopped outside the door, and the sharp tone of a eunuch could be heard, and the voice was trembling a little.

"It's Xiao Hu over there in the Beijing camp." Wei Zhongxian heard it and informed Emperor Tianqi. Just as he was about to recruit someone, he let the person in, but the door outside was pushed open, and he saw only a middle-aged man in a red robe.

The eunuch stumbled in, followed by several angry generals.

As soon as the eunuch saw Emperor Tianqi and Wei Zhongxian above him, he knelt on the ground and screamed: "Long live my lord, the Xuzhou bandit army has passed through Tongzhou and will attack the capital soon."

Several big Han generals and Jin Yiwei who were following behind were chasing him and were about to catch him. Hearing this, their movements froze. The noise in the room instantly became extremely quiet. The civil servants kneeling in front also paid attention.

Not seeing any disgrace in front of you, everyone turned their heads and looked over.
