Dajin royal family
Chapter 634 One Unification of the World
Chapter 634 Unification of the World ([-])
Gangneung Palace.
The soldiers of the Northern Jin Dynasty approached the city, the people in the palace were panicked, and the maids in the palace were at a loss.Especially the court ladies, they dare not imagine what kind of persecution they will suffer after the Northern Jin army invades the imperial city.The timid lady-in-waiting has long been shivering in an unknown corner of the palace.
All the officials of Liang State knew that the general situation was over, and they hid in the mansion one after another. They were both worried and had certain expectations in their hearts. They didn't know what this expectation was.
In the palace, Xiao Tong was dressed in fancy clothes, kneeling behind a table with disheveled hair, and a small bottle was placed on the table.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered Emperor Jin Li who burned himself to death in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
The hall was very quiet, and the maids in the palace had long been far away from Xiao Tong. They all knew that Xiao Tong's mood was the most unstable at this time, and if he approached rashly, he might be killed by him.
The sun shines through the window and refracts on the table, covering it with a layer of red light.The dust in the air has nothing to hide in the sunlight, and the ups and downs are intricate and difficult to trace.
"In the end, we still lost." Xiao Tong smiled miserably.
He remembered that a few decades ago, Xiaoliang, which was in a corner of peace, was also destroyed by the Northern Jin Dynasty.The difference is that it was the young Zhao Wang Jiangling, his sister-in-law, who besieged Jiangling City at that time.But now, it is his nephew, Jiang Chengxiao, who is besieging Jiangling City.
To some extent, Xiao Tong's current mood is slightly better than Yu Wenshu's.What makes him uncomfortable is that he cannot accept his failure, Xiao Liang's failure.Even better, it was his nephew who defeated him.
It doesn't seem to be particularly uncomfortable.
At this moment, Cen Zhenben, Zhang Xuan, and Xie Yunjie walked into the hall and saw Xiao Tong who was sitting blankly.
The faces of the three were also ashamed and defeated. The result of the battle until now is self-evident.As courtiers, they thought differently from Xiao Tong.
Xiao Tong didn't want to be a king of a subjugated country, but because of their own reasons, these courtiers didn't particularly care about the "ministers of a subjugated country".
But seeing their lord behave like this, they also felt uncomfortable.In all fairness, Xiao Tong is a good monarch, and would be a conservative ruler in a peaceful and prosperous age, but in troubled times, Xiao Tong's aggressiveness and strategy are slightly lacking.
If he had given up on getting married with Chen Guo early back then, the situation might be very different now.
The three of them approached and bowed.
"His Majesty."
Xiao Tong raised his eyes and looked at them, "Are you here to see me off for the last time?"
He had a faint smile on his face, but it seemed a bit bleak to others.
Hearing this, Cen Zhenben felt sad, he had suggested Xiao Tong go to Jiaozhi to establish the country, but Xiao Tong did not accept it, which means that Xiao Tong would choose to accompany Liang Guo to destroy it.
This is not what Cen Zhenben wants to see.He followed Xiao Tong early on, so naturally he didn't want the white-haired man to send the black-haired man, he hoped that Xiao Tong would live.
However, he didn't know how to persuade Xiao Tong to be a "king of subjugation".
At this moment, the three of them didn't know what to say.
At this moment, Xiao Tong didn't have the heart to care about what the three of them were thinking, and asked himself: "How is the situation outside?"
"Return to Your Majesty, the mountain rain is about to come." Zhang Xuan said.
Xiao Tong nodded, "It's just you three. It seems that they have abandoned me and want me to make a choice."
Xie Yunjie was silent. He knew about his elder brother Xie Yunying's meeting with Jiang Chengxiao at the Northern Jin camp. In other words, the Jingzhou gentry had already found their way out, and they just waited for Jiangling City to be broken before meeting the new king.
As a child of an aristocratic family, he didn't know how to persuade Xiao Tong, so he could only keep silent and accompany Xiao Tong through the final journey.
Xiao Tong picked up the small bottle, and said slowly: "I raised troops to restore the country in troubled times, and have not made an inch of merit for several years. I am really ashamed to say that I am a child of the Xiao family."
With tears in his eyes, Cen Zhenben persuaded: "Your Majesty, please think twice."
"Think twice?" Xiao Tong sneered, "Do you want me to be the king of subjugation, and go out of the city in plain clothes and white clothes to surrender to Jiang Chengxiao?"
Zhang Xuan also persuaded: "Your Majesty, no matter how you say it, Jiang Chengxiao is your nephew, he will definitely not kill you."
"Yes, Your Majesty, even if you don't think about yourself, please think about Her Royal Highness Princess in Taiyuan." Xie Yunjie followed.
Princess, Xianer.
Xiao Tong's expression turned pale, but he forgot that Xian'er is now married to Jiang Chengxiao.
Xiao Xian is his eldest daughter, and also his most beloved daughter.As a father, until now, he has shown compassion for his daughter.
Seeing the momentary hesitation on Xiao Tong's face, Cen Zhenben hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, think about it, if you leave, Her Highness the Princess will be really alone and helpless. The Kingdom of Liang is gone, and the Princess will suffer in the Jin Palace." What, can't you think of it?"
"I heard that Her Majesty the Princess has given birth to a boy for Jiang Chengxiao, and now the crown prince has not yet been established. If you support Her Majesty behind her back, Her Majesty's child may not be able to ascend to the supreme position in the future!"
"Taking a step back, if you leave, Shandong nobles and Guanzhong nobles, they don't know how to persecute Her Royal Highness in the future."
Xiao Tong opened his mouth and his mind was racing.
People are seeking to survive.
Xiao Tong is different from Yu Wenshu, he knows that he surrendered, Jiang Chengxiao sees Xiao Xian's face at most as imprisoning him, and will not kill him.The reason why he wanted to die was because he couldn't pass the test in his heart.
What's more, with Liang Guo gone, he has no obsessions in his heart, no goals, and what's the point of living.
Now after hearing what Cen Zhenben said, his cold and silent heart beat again.
If he supports Xian'er's child, maybe he will have a chance in the future.If that child can ascend to the supreme position, half of the blood of the Xiaoliang royal family will flow on the king of the Jin family.And he might be able to comfort his heart.
A ray of inspiration suddenly fell, and he seemed to understand something.The Northern Jin Dynasty ruled the world, and the gentry once again returned to the same dynasty.At that time, the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River will definitely unite again in order to gain a foothold in the court.
And his daughter Xiao Xian will be the one they fully support.
Xiao Xian's child is their bond.
"Cen Aiqing, what's the name of Xian'er's child?"
Hearing Xiao Tong's question, Cen Zhenben and the three immediately felt refreshed. They felt that as long as they were persuaded, they might make Xiao Tong change his mind.
"Report to Your Majesty, the name of the child of Her Highness the Princess is 憻."
"憻." Xiao Tong chewed the word lightly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "What a good name."
Seeing this, the three were overjoyed.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to go out of the city to negotiate with Jiang Chengxiao." Cen Zhenben said.
Xiao Tong understood what Cen Zhenben meant. The so-called negotiation was nothing more than hoping that Jiang Chengxiao would save his face.
He was silent for a moment, then nodded heavily.
It's better to be alive than to be dead.He still has hopes to pin on, and a daughter and grandson.
"Okay, you go. If Jiang Chengxiao really wants me to leave the city and surrender, I can agree." Xiao Tong put down the small bottle, his eyes firm.
With a direction in his heart, Xiao Tong once again had the motivation to live.Whether it was for his own daughter or for the ridiculous comfort in his heart, he was willing to bear the burden of humiliation.
After chewing carefully, Xiao Tong didn't know that his thoughts were a little ridiculous.In the future, if his grandson really ascended to the supreme position, he would probably have turned into a handful of loess, but for the sake of Xiao Liang's continuation, he would rather deceive himself like this in his heart.
In the world of great controversy, he failed, but in the future, he may not necessarily fail.
After Cen Zhenben and the three left, Xiao Tong sighed.
"Ruyin, you gave birth to a good son."
Thinking of that stubborn little girl back then, Xiao Tong felt a sense of mischief in the world.Unexpectedly, the future master of the world would be the child of his own sister.
Really counting, my nephew also has half of the blood of the Xiaoliang royal family, if his grandson can ascend the throne in the future
Thinking about it, Xiao Tong smiled inexplicably.
A few days later, Cen Zhenban went out of the city to meet Jiang Chengxiao at the camp of the Northern Jin Army.
The two chatted for a long time in the big tent of the Chinese army, and when Cen Zhenben left, his face was full of joy.
Three days later, Xiao Tong issued an edict to surrender to the Northern Jin Dynasty.
With the opening of the gate of Jiangling City, the last Liang army surrendered, and the banner of the Northern Jin Army was planted on Jiangling City.
In March of the fourth year of Zhao Wang, the Northern Jin Dynasty pacified Liang Guo, and Xiao Tong surrendered.
After Xiao Tong surrendered, Jiang Chengxiao named him "Liang Guogong" and ate seven hundred households.After Jiangnan completely calmed down, Xiao Tong will go to Luoyang with Jiang Chengxiao to retire and spend the rest of his life.
Xiao Tong's surrender also made Jiang Chengxiao heave a sigh of relief.He didn't want to hurt this blood-related uncle, what's more, he agreed to Xiao Xian and let Xiao Xian live together.
When soldiers besieged Jiangling City, he was worried that Xiao Tong would commit suicide if he didn't want to hold a meeting. He was about to write a letter to Xiao Tong to persuade him to surrender, but he didn't expect him to figure it out.
In this way, he understood Jiang Chengxiao's mind.
