Chapter 1,337 Crazy

There was no sound in the hall except for the cries of little Ganshun who was frightened by his grandma's roar.

Amid the children's cries, Queen Mother Liang looked coldly at the silent ministers in the palace: "Are you all scared?"

No one dared to speak out.

Zhang Yuzheng, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, coughed and said: "The national crisis is approaching. I ask you to go out of the city and negotiate with the people of Song Dynasty. Please ask the Queen Mother and the Prime Minister to provide some strategies to deal with it."

The Empress Dowager Liang closed her eyes in pain: "Tell the people of Song Dynasty that I am determined to withdraw the curtain and return the government to Bingchang. The prime minister will abdicate and be appointed as Mo Ningling. He will not interfere in political affairs from now on. Our request is to ask the Song Dynasty to leave Liangzhou. , the troops should be withdrawn, but the Xia State is willing to give away the land of Hetao to the Song State, and only retains the land beyond the river and governs it across the river."

"The annual gift... is no longer needed. From now on, the Xia Kingdom will diligently pay tribute and guard the border areas."

"If the Song Dynasty is still not at ease...you can...take it as hostage."

At this point, Empress Dowager Liang suddenly opened her eyes and said sternly: "If the Song Dynasty does not give up under such conditions, then only if all the people join forces and unite as one, the Xia Kingdom will fight to the death until the last man!"

Everyone in the hall was shocked and bowed: "I will obey the Queen Mother's decree!"

The Secretary of Economic Affairs was listening to Wei Mingmo Duo carefully ask: "Where is your Majesty..."

Empress Dowager Liang pondered for a long time, and said with a wry smile: "Master Jiduo once told me a story, saying that Zen Master Fadeng Taiqin had an enlightenment when he was young, but no one knew about it. Zen Master Dufayan was deeply astonished by it."

“One day Dharma Eye asked the crowd, ‘Who can understand the golden bell under the tiger’s neck?’ The crowd had no answer.”

"When Taiqin arrived, he raised his Dharma Eyes and asked. Taiqin said: 'Why don't people say: 'Those who connect can understand it.'"

"So your majesty's bell has to be answered by Aijia..."

On the high tower of Guanqing Temple, Tian Yu looked back and forth at Empress Dowager Liang and Bingchang with a scope, muttering: "How did this trick work..."

After hearing that the Song army was approaching the city, Bingchang's madness suddenly healed.

Today, Bingchang and Empress Dowager Liang are sitting in the courtyard of Muzhai, but the atmosphere between mother and son is colder than the midwinter weather in Xingqing Mansion.

"The people of the Song Dynasty are really a good medicine." Empress Dowager Liang looked at Bingchang and smiled coldly: "Didn't I say that the emperor was disappointed before? Now that the people of the Song Dynasty are approaching the city, it seems that things are getting better?"

Bingchang sat upright and said in a cold tone: "If the son is disappointed, the mother can still make the decision. What is strange to me is that the queen mother is not taking care of state affairs today? How come you still have time to visit the heartbroken person?"

"Is it worth it?" Empress Dowager Liang seemed to have hooks sticking out of her eyes: "Because of a letter from the emperor, the Song people attacked. Now Hexi is cut off, Hetao has fallen, and an army of 500,000 has been wiped out. Famous generals and good ministers have sacrificed their lives for the country. The foundation of the country has collapsed."

"The Song army has faced the city on three sides, and Xingqing Mansion is in danger. Is this the result the emperor wants?"

Bingchang lowered his eyes and said nothing.

"Yongneng, Gewei, Lingtong, Zhiduoli, Feng En, has died for his country. Yibu's whereabouts are unknown now, and he is a female who is chasing Ying, and he is still leading the army."

"More than a hundred members of the Liang family died in battle or were captured by the Song people."

"The Liang family may be sorry for the emperor, but they cannot be sorry for the country."

Bingchang raised his head: "The Queen Mother made a mistake. This country belongs to the Weiming family, not the Liang family."

"A son is the successor of his father. If the country is in trouble, it should be defended by the Weiming family."

"The Liang family is so generous in their righteousness. Do you have an edict from me? I don't remember issuing such an edict."

"Then what the Liang family does is not for this country."

"I am your Majesty." After Bingchang finished speaking, he stared into Empress Dowager Liang's eyes: "And you are actually doing it for yourselves."

Empress Dowager Liang and Bingchang looked at each other for a while, and finally spoke first: "Yes, the emperor is the emperor after all, and the country and the country belong to the emperor after all."

"I came here to tell the emperor that the Liang family will return power to you today."

"But what I want to tell the emperor is, does the Liang family really have no other choice?"

"As long as the Liang family lets you... then similarly, Qian Shun will be your successor. The Liang family can also give this country to the Song people in his name. Isn't it possible to get a high-ranking official and a generous salary?"

Bingchang's hands on his knees suddenly clenched into fists: "How dare you!"

"How dare you not?!" Empress Dowager Liang retorted with a sneer: "What's the difference between doing that and what you are doing now, Emperor? You are allowed to sell to the Song Dynasty people, but are you not allowed to sell it to the Song Dynasty people?"

Bingchang's hands trembled for a while and finally let go.

Empress Dowager Liang stood up, looked at her son with disdain, and said word by word: "No wonder Zhuiying looks down on you."

"For my useless son, I will eventually feel sorry for my niece."

"You always compare yourself to your father, but has he ever been servile to the people of Song Dynasty? Has he ever betrayed the interests of the country?"

"In the final analysis, you are doing it for yourself!"

"Are you really that kind of Song people?"

"When our ancestors used coffins to hold swords and guns and fled into Dijinze on the pretext of the funeral of their wet nurse, they had already given up their illusions about the Song people!"

"My ancestors were repeatedly besieged and suppressed, and my mother and wife were all captured by the Song people. When I escaped and only two brothers were left, I had long given up on the illusion of the Song people!"

"Jingzong, your late father fought bloody battles and captured twenty-six counties. He gave up his illusions about the Song people long ago!"

"But you still count on the kindness of Song people?"

"Li Qing taught you this? Did those Han poetry books teach you? You are confused by the so-called benevolence and righteousness in it!"

"You are like this, and you still want to become a wise king?!"

"Emperor, don't think too much. Returning the government to you is just a name. After the Song people leave, the Xia Kingdom will remain the same!"

"You are not worthy to be the monarch of Xia Kingdom!"

His words were like a gust of wind and rain, while Bingchang lowered his head like a clay or wood sculpture.

Empress Dowager Liang fluttered her sleeves and turned around. She had just taken a few steps when she heard Bing Chang behind her say: "Mother."

Queen Mother Liang stopped.

"Queen Mother." Bingchang raised his head: "Actually, today, I thought you were here to apologize."

"I didn't expect that even now, my mother would not forget to humiliate me."

"It's really funny. Dabai Gaoguo once had a title of thousands of miles and millions of soldiers. It was a three-way rivalry with the Khitan of the Song Dynasty."

"Today, the country has been humiliated by the loss of its troops, Xingqing has been trapped, the situation has become exhausted, and disasters are not around. Isn't it the responsibility of those in power?"

"The army of half a million has been wiped out. My son wants to ask, who is protecting the country and who is the commander-in-chief?!"

"Whose hands will the inheritance of our ancestors be ruined in the end?!"

Bingchang laughed, and his laughter gradually became crazy: "It's you Liang family! The sins are so great that the punishment of Dapi cannot be fully tolerated!"

"You can kill me now and see if the Song people will let you be buried together as a family!"

"If you don't want to kill me, then I tell you, I can't do anything about the Queen Mother and the Empress, but from the Liang family on down, no one can escape execution!"

"Hahahahaha... Mother, just wait and see those of your tribe, those rebellious people who bully the emperor and ignore the superiors, are pushed out of the southern suburbs one by one, and their heads fall to the ground! Hahahaha... Hahahaha..."

Queen Mother Liang looked ashen and finally walked away: "The emperor likes to take care of himself. If you want to kill the Liang family, you must first have the ability!"

…

Xingqing Mansion, outside the West City Gate.

Su You rode a horse, Zhang Qi and Cheng Yue were on the left and right, and came from Jingzhou under the escort of a group of cadet soldiers.

Gao Zunyu was pacing back and forth in the tent. Hearing Su You's arrival, he hurried out to greet him. He saw Su You dismounting from his horse.

"Your Majesty, you are finally here. The Xia envoy is in the tent at the moment, saying that he wants to negotiate with the Duke."

Su You looked angry: "Is it Bingchang?"

"Huh?" Gao Zunyu was a little confused: "How could it be Bingchang?"

Su You shouted: "Then why don't you attack?"

Gao Zunyu was really stupid: "We, the Song Dynasty, are the masters of benevolence and righteousness. We have always put etiquette first and then..."

Su You immediately interrupted: "Uncle, please don't be confused! The benevolence and righteousness of the Song Dynasty has always been only for the submissive and submissive country of Fan, and only for the subjects who care about the Song Dynasty!"

"Now that the rulers of the Xia Kingdom have repeatedly deceived our dynasty, they have long since lost their trust. What else is there to talk about? If Bingchang hadn't come personally, how would we know they didn't have traps?"

"Then...then fight?"

"Of course! Attack immediately, seize Xingqing, and take control of the overall situation! With Bingchang and Ganshun in your hands, there will be plenty of time to talk slowly!"
