The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 976
"Play early if you have something to do, and leave the court if you have nothing to do!" It seemed that there were always these few words when going to court, and when the ministers finished paying respects to the emperor Meng Chang, Li Song, Meng Chang's personal eunuch, began to say.

This means that the early dynasty has begun, and some officials who have something for Meng Chang to make decisions have come out one after another.

They didn't dare to play sloppy with Meng Chang.They still remember the kind of ruthlessness Meng Chang had when he came to the throne.

Therefore, we always maintain this kind of respect for Meng Chang. This is not only the respect of Meng Chang's status, but also some kind of awe of Meng Chang from the bottom of his heart.

The little things like being caught by others have been delayed for a long time, but they have to deal with them. These are what they should do.

"Is there anything else that the ministers want to play?" Meng Chang asked at this time, everyone, look at me, I see that no one of you is talking, and they really have nothing to say.

At this time, he was about to retreat from the court, thinking that every time Meng Chang said this sentence, he basically thought of retreating from the court.

"Well, since you have nothing to do, then I have one thing to do here. Let's see what we should do. Li Song, come and read it to everyone, the content of this memorial."

Li Song nodded and said yes, and started to read directly with that drake voice instead, and the officials were fine, they just started discussing below after listening.

This memorial is written about some measures that the Great Song Dynasty will deal with the Kingdom of Shu. It seems that they are going to attack the Kingdom of Shu. No wonder Meng Chang said that he has something to do. If such a thing is not a big deal, then it is true Nothing can disturb them.

After hearing this, the ministers were all discussing in whispers, this is a big deal, if it is not said well, it is likely to make the emperor dissatisfied!

"Quiet, what is the etiquette of whispering under the court? I want you to know that the situation in our country is not good. Do you have any good strategies to help the country? If you have any, please speak out boldly, no matter good or bad. Let me forgive you all for your innocence."

In fact, when Zhao Kuangyin pacified the land of Jinghu, he began to deploy actions against the Kingdom of Shu, but at that time the ministers did not pay much attention to it.

But now that he has come in front of him, it won't be long before they may call over.

Preparations have already begun. If we don't prepare now, we can only be subjugated slaves. This is beyond doubt, and the ministers are all thinking in their hearts.

But what can I do if I don’t want to be a subjugated slave? Now the Song Dynasty is too strong and has become the most powerful dynasty in the Central Plains.

According to the strength of our Shu country, can we compare with them? No, then what is the point of the emperor asking himself and others to discuss the method today?

"Your Majesty, I don't think there is anything to think about. Soldiers come to cover up the water and soil. We still have to resist to the end."

The one who spoke was Gao Yanchou, who was also a general, and a general whom Meng Zhixiang was quite satisfied with back then.

At the same time, he also instructed Meng Chang to ask Gao Yanchou if he had any important military affairs in the future, that is, to ask Meng Chang to trust him.

"General Gao, you mean to resist, so how should we resist?" An official who came out at this time, the official uniform he saw should be Yuanwailang from the Ministry of Rites.

This person is called Wang Wenjie, and he is Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Rites of the Shu Kingdom. He also has another identity, that is, he was supported by the Guo family.

Many people in Zhao Xu knew this, and everyone knew that the political power of the Guo family should not be underestimated.

Fortunately, this Guo family has no ambitions, otherwise the court would not be stable.

"How can we resist? As long as he dares to invade our Great Shu Kingdom, we will follow them to the end and fight to the death."

"General Gao is very bold, but you have thought that without our army, we haven't fought for a long time, and the current combat effectiveness is still a few percent. The previous stage of suppressing bandits was not good. Now if we let them directly confront Da Song's, What are the chances of winning?"

"Master Zhao Wang said that, should we surrender?" Gao Yanchou said with a gloomy face.

These literati are like this, weak, always thinking that they must not be in danger, they don't understand that there are immortals in wars and places.

"I didn't say that, I just thought that our soldiers must not be sacrificed in vain, and our country can be saved from war and our country is preserved. This is what I mean."

Love the country and love the people, these are what Wang Wenjie wants to express, no one can say what he said is wrong, right?

"Wang Aiqing, since you said that, you must have already made up your mind, so please tell the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty what you think."

Meng Chang seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and was quite excited to hear Wang Wenjie say this.

"I also ask Your Majesty to atone for the crime of arrogance. Only in this way can I dare to speak my mind to my colleagues in the Manchu Dynasty."

"Ai Qing is too worried. As I said just now, today our monarchs and ministers can speak freely, and I will atone for your innocence. After all, it is all for the country, so don't have any worries."

Meng Chang did a good job in this point, the speaker is not guilty, as long as you are sincere for the country, then I will not blame you.

"The minister thinks that this is also likely to be a cover-up of the Song Dynasty, in order to test what our thoughts are. If this is the case, we can also think of the Song Dynasty as a minister and pay tribute to preserve our own strength. When there is a chance to give them a surprise to attack their unpreparedness, they will definitely win a big victory."

What Wang Wenjie meant was to surrender first, and then look for an opportunity to deal them a fatal blow. This is also a method.

But he also said one thing in advance, that is, it is very likely that Song Guo deliberately let us know this information, just to see how we react.

What Wang Wenjie said was based on this assumption. Of course, it would not sound good to be a minister and pay tribute.

For a monarch, this is a great shame, surrendering to his opponent, doesn't this mean that he is inferior to others?
Although the fact is like this, if you really let yourself do it, it is absolutely impossible.

No wonder what he said just now was asking the emperor to atone for his crimes. It turned out that what he said was to seek peace and surrender, which was tantamount to surrender.

It's no wonder that the emperor didn't punish the crime. Wang Wenjie is a smart man. Let the emperor atone first, and he is expressing his own opinion.

Paying tribute and calling yourself a minister is also a way, and it is a good way, because many ministers agree with this opinion.

Most of these people are in the same camp as Wang Wenjie, so they naturally support Wang Wenjie.

The message they brought to Meng Chang was that we thought it was good to pay tribute and become a vassal. You asked us to express our opinion, and this is our opinion.

Meng Chang was not angry when he heard this. He said that no matter what he said, he was innocent. This could be considered a solution!
