Chapter 1456 Monarch and ministers panic, peace talks

The news of Han Bi's defeat spread quickly from the city gate guards.

Immediately afterwards, thousands of cavalry fled back, bringing more news.

In the palace, the distraught monarch and ministers finally woke up, and Nian Xuling blocked the news, but it was too late.

"Your Majesty, the news has spread." Nian Ru entered the palace to report.

"Han Bi is incompetent!" Fang Chong growled.

"He's already dead!" An official from the New Deal Department's eyes were red, "Ms. Han died for his country, what are you waiting for? Old dog, if you have the ability, try putting a long knife around your neck?"

Fang Chong yelled: "Ruolite!"

Immediately, officials of the opposition came out to impeach this person.

I don't know who made the move first, and the two sides fought in a ball.

Nian Xu sat there quietly and didn't care, Xie Yingong stood beside him and heard him whisper:
"Why don't you lead the army back? Why?"

A servant came in, "There is a memorial from Prime Minister Han."

The two sides who were fighting turned around.

"Isn't it dead?"

"This is Prime Minister Han's omission!"

The memorial was sent up, and Nian Xu looked at it.

Looking up for a long time under the gaze of everyone, Nian Xu said:

"Han Bi said that Yingshui is too long to defend. If there is a big defeat, the only way is to move the capital!"

The so-called moving the capital means fleeing.

"My minister agrees!"

"My minister agrees!"

A group of courtiers rattled in agreement with Han Bi's words.

Peng Jing and Fang Chong stood together.

At this time, a servant came outside.

"Your Majesty, many officials and people are clamoring outside."

"What time is it, what are they making a fuss about?" Nian Xu was a little impatient.

"They said, if Prime Minister Sun is still here, how could this be the case in Great Zhou? Someone shouted, saying that Prime Minister Peng and Prime Minister Fang were killed, and Prime Minister Sun was invited to take charge of the overall situation!"

Peng Jing and Fang Chong looked at each other, and they both saw the fear in each other's eyes.

"This is treating us as traitors!" Fang Chong gritted his teeth and said, "Check who led the way, turn around..."

"What else are you looking for?" Peng Jing said coldly: "If Sun Shi comes back, I don't even think about surviving! Besides, our foundation is in Bianjing. After leaving Bianjing, do you think His Majesty will tolerate you and me?"

Fang Chong shuddered, and said, "Your Majesty, if the capital is moved, what will the people of the world think? Besides, why can't Yingshui be defended? Han Bi was defeated, how can you trust the words of the defeated general? I think that the capital cannot be moved! "

What?
The officials of the opposition were dumbfounded... We agreed to move the capital before.Besides, why stay in Bianjing?Running quickly is king.

Fang Chong's eyes were slightly cold, and he looked a little awe-inspiring, "The king of Qin ruled the northern land, entered the Guanzhong, and nine out of ten of the world was under his control. Now that half of the Great Zhou has fallen, in the eyes of the world, this is the Great Unification signs."

The crowd nodded.

The territory that the King of Qin now controls is much larger than that of the original Tang Dynasty.

This is an incomparably vast new Tang Dynasty. After Qin Wang straightened out the interior, what kind of power this new Tang Dynasty can burst out, just thinking about it makes people palpitate.

And how long can Dazhou, which moved its capital to the south, survive?

"The so-called great righteousness and people's hearts are talking about the general trend. The general trend is with the King of Qin. If the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty is moved, the army and the people of the country will definitely fall. Afterwards, the King of Qin will follow the trend and go south. Who can take the blow?"

Fang Chong's voice echoed in the hall, sonorous and powerful.

"Yingshui is the natural barrier of Bianjing, supplemented by the male city of Bianjing, can it be defeated again? I think that as long as we stick to the front line of Yingshui, the northern army will inevitably retreat after a long time... After all, the situation in Guanzhong is not good. Steady!"

The officials of the opposition were dumbfounded, wondering if Fang Xiang is so brave?

Peng Jing came out of the class, "Your Majesty, instead of going to the south to linger, it is better to stick to Bianjing. In this way, you will not lose the majesty of the Great Zhou for hundreds of years. Everything is possible when the majesty is there. No majesty anymore..."

No more majesty, the emperor is a phoenix on the ground, not as good as a chicken!

Such things abound in history books.

Although the officials under their command didn't know why the two big bosses suddenly became so fearless, they could only go out and agree.

"My minister agrees!"

"My minister agrees!"

"My minister agrees!"

"Han Xiang said that Yingshui cannot be defended!" The shouts of the New Deal officials seemed so weak before this momentum.

"The general of the defeated army!" An official said coldly: "If it weren't for him, a hundred thousand troops are currently hoarding on the south bank of Yingshui, why should we worry?"

Nian Xu silently watched the dispute between the two sides.

Han Bi's memorial is very long.

He analyzed the gains and losses of the New Deal, and felt that the biggest problem was that he did not control the court, so that the local officials unscrupulously dug holes for the New Deal, making it a stumbling block.

——Only by distinguishing rewards and punishments can we achieve great things!

These words made Nian Xu blush a little.

It was not that there was no chance to suppress Peng Jing's party, but he was worried that Sun Shi's family would dominate, so he acquiesced to many things.

From the beginning of the founding of the country, the Nian family continued to do two major things. One glass of wine releases military power and suppresses warriors;

The second point is an extension of the first point.

In other words, all of this was caused by Nian himself.

Is Nian wrong?
Nian Xu felt disappointed and waved his hands, "Let's go! Let's go!"

"His Majesty!"

The ministers fell silent.

"Yingshui must stick to it, whether to move the capital or not, I still need to think about it!"

The ministers leave.

Several New Deal officials shouted outside.

"Your Majesty, Peng Jing and others are ambitious! Listen to Prime Minister Han!"

Nian Xu got up and staggered back to the harem.

At this time, only his wife and children can give him a little warmth.

"Han Bi was defeated and committed suicide."

Facing his wife and children, Nian Xu showed a depressed attitude.

The queen and prince were stunned.

"Where's the army?" The prince's first reaction was this, which pleased Nian Xu.

"The army was defeated and was chased all the way by the northern border army, and most of them were lost on the north bank of Yingshui."

Nian Xu rubbed his face, it was very hot, but he felt cold all over.

"Why Han Bi..." The prince was taught to be quite weak, and he couldn't speak harsh words after all, "Why didn't he lead the army back?"

"Han Bi said in the memorandum that if we are defeated..." Nian Xu squinted his eyes, "He asked me to surrender. If this is the case, it is still decent. At least, the Nian family can continue to prosper."

"Did he not evacuate on purpose?" the Queen asked.

The emperor nodded, "He said that if the army is led back, the court will definitely use Yingshui as a line to block the northern army. If so, the King of Qin will be annoyed...and, he thinks, Yingshui cannot be defended."

"Then...then what should we do?" The queen lost her position.

"I falsely entrusted Han Bi's words and said to move the capital. Peng Jing and others objected."

"Then..." The queen came from an ordinary background and had no independent opinions, which was one of the reasons why she was favored in the first place.At this moment, under the panic in her heart, she held Nian Ziyue's hand and said, "Then what should I do?"

"Peng Jing's party is very powerful, if I forcefully demand to move the capital...they will obey their will, and I will not be able to leave."

Nian Xu looked at his wife and children and smiled wryly, "I am so incompetent that I burden my wife and children and shame my ancestors."

"Father!"

Nian Ziyue didn't expect the situation to take a turn for the worse, "Can the south hold on?"

Nian Xu hesitated, "The south is mountainous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. However, if the capital is moved to the south, the most lush territory of the Great Zhou will belong to King Qin."

"You're not sure either." Nian Ziyue asked.

"Yes!" Nian Xu sighed: "The king of Qin is aggressive like fire. Once he crosses Yingshui, this journey of escape will become a road of bones!"

The queen shuddered, and the prince turned pale.

"Maybe peace talks?" The prince looked hopeful.

"Why did King Qin negotiate peace?" Nian Xu felt that the prince was too naive.

"You have to try!" The crown prince said: "Since the capital cannot be moved, try peace talks over there. Da Zhou... How about being a minister to the King of Qin?"

Hey!
This prince!
Nian Xu sighed in his heart, but nodded with a smile as a sign of encouragement, "I will ask people to try."

Wang Ju immediately received the order.

"Go to the North Shore for peace talks?"

"Correct!"

Nian Xu left this matter to Wang Ju, thinking that this person and King Qin were old acquaintances, so he could save face.

"Your Majesty said, hurry up!"

Wang Ju led more than a hundred cavalry, galloping on horseback.

Bianjing was not far from Yingshui, and he saw a busy scene not long after.

On the shore, thousands of soldiers are staring at the other side, and more than a thousand people are...

"do not!"

Those people are tearing down bridges!

Wang Ju rode his horse and rushed over, cursing: "Just a bridge, even if I don't know soldiers, I know that I can block it with bows and arrows. Why tear it down?"

The general who led the team saluted, "President Wang, this means Bianjing."

"Who mean?" Wang Ju asked.

"Say it's Peng Xiang and Fang Xiang!"

Wang Ju said coldly: "Your Majesty appoints someone who is in charge of Yingshui's defense, what has it to do with them?"

"But..." The general was a little embarrassed.

"Are you listening to His Majesty, or are you listening to them?"

"Sir, allegiance to His Majesty!"

"Then keep it!"

Wang Ju looked back.

The soldiers on the river bank looked very dazed, and many of them looked terrified.

No wonder Han Bi said that Yingshui was undefendable. What he said was not that Yingshui was not dangerous enough, but that after his defeat, no one in Dazhou had the will to fight!

Wang Ju crossed Yingshui sadly, and then met the scouts of the Northern Xinjiang Army.

"Pharaoh!"

Wang Laoer couldn't help being happy when he saw this family member, "How much can I exchange for a political advisor?"

Wang Ju's head was full of black lines, but he said with a smile: "The old man was ordered to come to see His Highness!"

Unfortunately, Wang Laoer took him back.

The Northern Xinjiang Army had already entered Yongzhou City. When Wang Jun arrived, he saw a cart of luggage being pulled in.

That familiar big cart, at first glance, belonged to Da Zhou.

After Hanbi's defeat, the supplies that Bianjing managed to raise were all cheaper for the Northern Xinjiang Army.

After entering the prefecture, Wang Ju saw Qin Wang and his son standing under the tree. Qin Wang pointed to the ground and said, "Cicadas spend most of their time by the roots of the tree. Most of them become adults in summer. After they become adults, they crawl out from the ground and crawl to the ground. To the branches, to drink the sap of the tree..."

"Aye, why is the cicada chirping?" A Liang asked with his head raised.

"That's because!" Qin Wang hesitated, "Once the cicadas get out of the ground, they can only survive for a few days. In other words, they only have a few days to complete the task of reproduction. So the male cicadas sang desperately to attract The female cicada comes..."

He couldn't speak anymore.

"And where are their children?"

"The female cicadas make holes in the branches of trees and lay their eggs in the holes. In autumn, the eggs become larvae and they fall to the roots of the tree. The larvae go down into the ground, find the roots of the tree, and stick there. , suck the sap of tree roots for a living, until they grow up a few years later, climb out of the ground like their parents, climb up the tree, spend a few days to complete the task of reproduction, and then leave."

"Is that so?" A Liang felt sorry for the cicadas, "Then, I won't beat them in the future."

"Cicada chrysalis! Deep-fried is delicious."

"Really?" Ah Liang's eyes lit up.

"Crackling and crispy!"

Qin Wang smiled and touched the top of his son's head, while Jiang He'er and others beside him sucked their saliva.

The King of Qin saw Wang Ju, and said calmly: "Old Wang is here, but to send a list for Nianshi?"
