The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1398 Surrender for the common people?

"Don't leave chickens and dogs alone, do you really want to leave chickens and dogs alone? Is this how you punish me Datang when you go to him?" Li Yu began to scream in the hall, this is God's punishment for him.

"My lord, my lord, this is what the envoy of the Song army handed to my minister just now, saying that it is to be presented to the lord, please take a look at it."

Feng Yanlu came in at this time and presented a letter of credence to Li Yu. He didn't know what was inside, he only knew that this thing was to be handed over to Li Yu.

"The Song army gave us time to surrender, otherwise we will attack the city aggressively, just like what Fan Ruoshui said just now, when the city is broken, no one will be left behind."

Li Yu took a confident look at the things brought by the Song envoy. In fact, he also read and should understand that it is impossible to write anything good at this time.

No one in the Manchu Dynasty spoke anymore. This is a fact that no one can change. Who can turn things around?

"My lord, what should we do with this matter? I heard that Zhu Lingyun, who you have high hopes for, has now become a water bandit. He will neither fight against the Song Dynasty nor obey our dispatch. We have no reinforcements."

Lin Renzhao dragged his sick body to the hall today, he hadn't even had time to say a word, he wanted to see what Fan Ruoshui could say, but Fan Ruoshui just finished his sentence and left.

"What, this Zhu Lingyun dares to be such a person, how could he be like this, how could he be like this, I..."

Li Yu originally hoped that Zhu Lingyun could give him a surprise, so he has not expressed his position recently, but he did not expect that he would actually make such a play for himself.

"Zhu Lingyun was favored by the emperor. I didn't expect him to disappoint me. The Southern Tang Dynasty is over, the Southern Tang Dynasty is over." Li Yu's last hope was also shattered.

"My lord, we must not surrender. We still have people all over the city. We can fight in the street with Da Song. Just listen to me once, lord."

Lin Renzhao kept coughing and said that he actually used street fighting. This very common word in later generations appeared at this time.

"That's right, our lord, we can't surrender. We can make a last-ditch effort. At worst, we will be killed." Chen Qiao and other veteran officials began to support Lin Renzhao's point of view. These people wanted to leave their names in history books after death.

"Feng Yansi, you are so silent. You are usually the first to speak at the court meeting, but today you are silent. Why don't you say a word today?"

Anger is all about anger, but there are still some things to be done. Li Yu doesn't think it's a joke when Fan Ruoshui said a word.

"The lord of the country also agrees with the words of the adults, but I am worried that if we cannot stop us, I am very worried about what Fan Ruoshui said just now!"

After saying this, Feng Yansi backed down, and stopped talking, and just reminded everyone of what Fan Ruoshui said.

"That's right, our lord, we are not afraid of death. We can die for the lord and the Tang Dynasty at any time, but these people...please let the lord decide." Xu You stood firmly behind Feng Yansi.

"Yes, Lord, think twice!"

Many ministers who were visited by Zhao Xu began to persuade Li Yu, and they all expressed an attitude, that is, they are not afraid of death, but the people are innocent.

"What nonsense are you talking about? The people want to live and die with me. After all, they are members of the Tang Dynasty. You people who are greedy for life and afraid of death are making excuses for your own fear of death."

As soon as Chen Qiao heard this, she became angry and scolded these ministers angrily. It is because they are greedy for life and afraid of death. What kind of people, Chen Qiao still doesn't understand them!
"I said, Mr. Chen, we are thinking of the common people. How could we be greedy for life and afraid of death? As long as the lord gives the order, even though I, Xu You, am a literati, I can still fight for the lord. What are you doing?"

"Old man Xu You doesn't know you yet, you are a sophistry, a shameless person, a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death." Chen Qiao became even more angry when Xu You answered.

What kind of person Xu You is, he is the clearest. This person has another function when he is greedy for life and fear of death, that is, flattery. Seeing his face at this time, Old Chen really wanted to kick him a few times.

"Master Chen, what are you talking about? Tell me clearly in front of the king, how shameless Xu You is, otherwise I will never let it go."

Saying that you are shameless in front of the ministers of the court is the greatest insult to yourself. Can a man not bear it like this?
"Old man..."

"Enough, I want you to think about it, what do you think this is, you are just like this for the country, no wonder my Great Tang has declined like this?"

"My lord, it's hard for me to repay the country's favor even if I'm broken into pieces. What's more, I have to bear the entrustment of the late emperor. I want to fight against the city. I am willing to take the lead and serve the country with death." Chen Qiao heard Li Yu's anger, and immediately expressed her meaning.

"My lord, what I'm thinking is that the battle against the city will result in heavy casualties. If there is a chance of winning this battle, no matter how many people die, it is worth it; but if this battle is just to bury unnecessary lives, is it necessary, my lord? ?”

Xu You is still targeting Chen Qiao, I will refute you as soon as you open your mouth, let's see what you can do?
When Chen Qiao heard that this guy was fighting with her, she took a step forward:
"Xu You, as a subject, as a member of the court, is your life your own? The life of a subject should have been dedicated to the court long ago. If you are greedy for life and afraid of death, you can choose to escape, no one will force you!"

"Master Xu is right. I can't just think of myself and forget about the people, otherwise my crime will be really great, and I will..." Li Yu suddenly said such a sentence

"My lord, at this stage of the field, it's the same for the king and the minister. It's easy to ask for death, but it's hard to live. It's just a bag of poison and a white silk. What's the difficulty? But, the lord, the minister is stupid, the minister is bold, the minister If there is a merciless request, I ask the Lord to endure the humiliation for one day, and the shrines of the whole nine temples. I ask the Lord to protect the body for a hundred years and continue the life of all surnames."

When Feng Yansi heard Li Yu say this, it seemed that he already knew Li Yu's plan, and it was time for him to express himself, so he said such a thing.

"Master Feng is right, Lord, please endure the humiliation for a day and continue the lives of thousands of people!" These people are good at observing words and expressions, and when they hear Li Yu's words, they know what to do.

Lin Renzhao and Chen Qiao were very angry when they saw that the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were like this. Now they thought of the people, why didn't they think of the people before, and the king really believed in this.

It seems that their lord has really made a decision, is he going to leave the city and surrender?It looks like this is about to leave the city and surrender, but Li Yu hasn't spoken yet. Only when Li Yu makes the final decision can he say what will happen to them?
