The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 977 Winning and Losing Analysis
Meng Chang's brows were almost frowned, and he asked him to say a way, and he told himself such a way.

Pay tribute?

If I want to do this, why would I ask you, can I be emperor after becoming a minister?Do you think I will agree?

Meng Chang contemptuously said in his heart, he also can't say that this is not okay, because he just said that no matter what they say, he will not pursue it, but now it is obvious that what they said is not what he wants!

Looking at these people again, they are basically the mainstay of the imperial court. You say that the official positions are not high, but they do occupy most of the imperial court.

"Your Majesty, we think this is the safest way at present, and we are not really surrendering, we just want to preserve Zi's strength, and finally we look for an opportunity to fight Da Song."

One of them also said brazenly, it seems that Da Song is easy to deceive, isn't it, you are really a pig brain.

"Li Aiqing, what do you think? Tell me. I want to hear your opinion. After all, you are the prime minister and the head of all officials. You should express your opinion at this time."

Li Hao is drowsy down there, it's not surprising, this old guy hasn't slept all night after all, it's normal for him to drowsy at such an old age.

In fact, he didn't really hear what others said, and he didn't know what everyone said. He was just dozing off!
"Your Majesty, the old minister actually thinks the same as General Gao Yanchou. In the face of the people who invaded our country, we can only find a way out by standing up and resisting. As people in our Shu Kingdom, they will naturally be like this, so the old minister That's what I thought too."

"Aiqing means that we are going to resist to the death, then I will..." Meng Chang heard that Li Hao said that he would resist, so he wanted to resist too!

But he just said that I will arrange it and make preparations, but Li Hao hasn't finished speaking yet.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has not finished speaking, please allow the old minister to finish." Li Hao stood up and said embarrassingly.

Before he finished his words, His Majesty began to make a decision. Li Hao felt a little embarrassed, so he interrupted Meng Chang's fantasy.

"Li Aiqing, didn't you already express your opinion just now? Why do you still have something to say?" Meng Chang was puzzled, what are you still talking about here.

Not only Meng Chang was puzzled at this time, but other people were also puzzled. What is the old prime minister doing? Does he have other opinions.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the old minister said just now that this is the old minister's personal thoughts. The old minister thinks that other people also have the same thoughts. Did you hear that, Your Majesty? Those are my personal thoughts, from a personal point of view."

That's right, Li Hao said that this is from his personal point of view, remember it's just from his personal point of view, it's hard to say anything else.

"Does Aiqing have anything else to say?" What did this old guy want to say.

Also speaking from a personal point of view, don't you think you won't protect your home and country if you don't take it from a personal point of view?
Unfortunately, my father said that this person is quite invisible, so I must be careful about him, and I must not let his outside be deceived.

Don't look at him as a bad old man, but he has a lot of eyes. Meng Chang didn't believe it before, but now he really has something to think about.

"Yes, Your Majesty, what the old minister said just now is indeed from a personal point of view. Although the old minister is old, the passion of the veteran is still there, and he also has the passion to go through life and death for the country. I think every minister present has this kind of feeling. passion."

Defending the family and the country is the ambition of everyone, especially young people. I believe these ministers have had such thoughts before.

Most of them are old now, but their passion that Li Hao said is still there, and everyone present feels that they are several years younger.

"But that's from a personal point of view. Individuals can only care about their own preferences when considering things. This is a person's freedom. But now what the old minister wants to say is not like this. The old minister has to follow the country's Let’s analyze it from an angle, the old minister’s opinion.”

"We all know that the Great Song Dynasty came from the Later Zhou Dynasty. Zhao Kuangyin was a general of the Later Zhou Dynasty. This person rose up in the Battle of Gaoping, and later he was also involved in the battle around Qin Feng. In the end, he actually became the emperor."

Li Hao also sighed endlessly, this Zhao Kuangyin was originally a small soldier, but he did not expect that he would become the most honorable person in the end.

"This man is ambitious, that is to say, he is ambitious. From the fact that he calmed down Jinghu and forced Nantang to pay tribute, it can be seen that he absolutely wants to unify the world. Maybe the next goal he chooses is our kingdom of Shu from His Majesty. It can be seen from the memorial."

Nonsense, not only Zhao Kuangyin has such ambitions, but even Meng Chang also has such ideas, what a tempting idea to unify the world.

"Then the problem is that unifying the world requires not only huge military strength, but also economic strength. Now it seems that Song Dynasty already possesses this kind of strength. That is to say, we now have to think about what we can do if we win this battle." How much chance of winning, how much impact we can have."

Li Hao used the word "influence", which is actually quite appropriate. No matter whether we win or lose, we have to face this problem.

As expected of Li Hao who has been the prime minister for so many years, he always thinks about problems from a different angle than others, or else he can be a prime minister!
"Whether we will win or lose in the end, and what are the probabilities of winning or losing, we must analyze clearly, for example, what consequences will it have on the people of our Shu Kingdom if we fail."

"If we win, what can we get? I think even if we win, it will be a miserable victory. In the end, if we are not destroyed by Song Dynasty, we may be cleaned up by other people. Do you think I am right? Woolen cloth?"

Li Hao mentioned all the influences of victory and defeat. Although he said it very generally, everyone could understand what he wanted to express.

Everyone thinks Li Hao's words are very reasonable, as if this time, whether it is victory or defeat, it is not good for us.

No wonder Li Hao said just now that from a personal point of view, he must have a match with Da Song. If it is from a national point of view, it would be a different matter.

"Then what should we do according to Aiqing's idea? It doesn't work either to fight or to surrender, so what should we do?"

Meng Chang also didn't understand what Li Hao wanted to express. You have analyzed it so well. Whether it is surrender or resistance, you should explain it more clearly, so as not to be ambiguous here. I don't know what it means.

Everyone was silently looking at Li Hao, to see what he could say in the end, because what he said now was the most important thing.

Maybe it might become the national policy of the Shu Kingdom. His analysis is so thorough, it is estimated that the emperor will listen to him.
