Do you want millions of people from across the two rivers to be willing slaves of the Jin people for another three to five years?"

Li Guang was angry for a moment, but had no words to reply. He could only bow his hands to Zhao Jiu: "The officials and ministers are from the southeast, but they are selfless. They only think about the return of the two saints to the north, and the land of several counties in the east of Jingdong."

, it originally required countless money and food, and tens of millions of lives to be exchanged for it, but now it is clear that it can be taken with one word, but it is still rejected outright. How can it be explained to the people of the world? Besides, even if it is the Northern Expedition, there is no war horse.

If we don’t have enough money and silk, how can we rush into things? So what if we wait for three years?”

"The hatred of the country and the family, the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period, cannot be compromised in the slightest." Chen Gui also interjected in a low voice, which was regarded as a statement.

Liu Ji also nodded.

Li Guang was anxious for a moment, but then he looked at Lu Haowen... How could he not know that the six people this time were mostly confidants of the official family, and few people were willing to disobey the official family. It might also be that Lu Haowen had an outstanding position.

Don't worry about the phase, it's possible to say something fair.

However, Lu Haowen caught Li Guang's gaze and asked an unexpected question: "Li Zhongcheng has a close relationship with his former prime minister Li Boji. Do you know what he means?"

Li Guang was forced into a corner, but he could no longer hide it. He simply raised his head and responded: "Mr. Li has indeed exchanged letters. He has said before that a small negotiation is also feasible."

Everyone frowned.

However, Li Guang did not lie... Li Gang and Li Boji, the former main battle flags, did support the peace negotiation at this time. Moreover, this was not because Li Gang's knees suddenly became weak, but the attitude and opinions he had always held. After all, as early as the early days of Jianyan,

When Li Gang first came to power in Nanjing, he clearly stated his opinion, which was to act within one's ability - 'If you can defend, you can fight; if you can fight, you can make peace'.

He never gave up on peace.

The reason why we must insist on "fighting" at that time is because the situation has reached its weakest point. Once we can't fight, it is equivalent to surrender.

However, his inner thoughts of being 'able to defend', 'able to fight', and 'able to make peace' have never changed, and represent the true thoughts of most non-capitulationist bureaucrats who 'mainly fight'.

In fact, this is also an important reason why he was easily defeated by Huang Qianshan - Li Gang's "main peace" behind the main battle made him and Zongze who uphold the belief of "fight to the end" vaguely developed, and then

Unable to truly join forces to control the government, they were defeated by each other. Even Zongze did not provide assistance when Li Gang resigned as prime minister, and the two sides never agreed on the same slogan on building the capital.

"Okay, I know, I know that most of the people want to negotiate for peace, and most of these people are sincere and well-intentioned." At this moment, it was Zhao Guanjia who suddenly interrupted. "And I won't hide it from you either.

While I was in the palace, I thought about it, and I just felt that since Mingdao Palace, I have been through life and death many times, but nothing is as helpless as now... I was so helpless that I wanted to abandon Tokyo, and I only took the imperial camp, Li Qiong, and the Eight-Character Army with me.

The various tribes, that is, the imperial camp troops with the majority of Hebei survivors, went to Bagong Mountain to turn themselves into bandits and try again. What else would happen? Are the imperial camp sergeants who were born as refugees in Hebei to be sent out to carry out assassinations on the streets? Who?

Who should Yanhe kill?"

"The official's words are serious..." Lu Haowen and others responded helplessly.

"Let's not talk about this... I ask you, if I am really determined to go to Bagong Mountain, will the six of you go with me?" Zhao Jiu's expression did not change and he suddenly asked.

Several people thought that the official was continuing to say angry words, so they wanted to deal with it, but before they could speak, they each became alert and became serious.

"Mr. Lu," Zhao Jiu urged.

"Chen..." Lu Haowen, who was the first to bear the brunt, was stunned for a while, but could only smile bitterly. "The official's words at Chen's house that day were very thorough. I wasted half my life, and my little achievements and fame were all gained by the official's four or five years.

Yes, if the official family really wants to go to Luocao, I will have no choice but to become a copycat bookkeeper."

"Of course I am willing to go with the official family!" Zhang Jun expressed his opposition before Zhao Ding.

Zhao Ding looked at Zhang Jun helplessly, and then said to Zhao Guanjia sincerely: "In the official family, I have received great favor from the official family. In the four years since I was a scholar in Kaifeng Prefecture and became the prime minister of the capital, there are all kinds of things. The only reason is that the official family abandons the minister.

,How could I abandon the official family?"

After the three prime ministers had finished speaking, the two deputy prime ministers Liu Ji and Chen Gui also hurriedly spoke out, but they were both willing to follow suit.

It was Li Guang, the chief censor, who was angry with Zhao Guanjia for his absurd words, but he still saluted seriously: "In the official family, I will never violate the emperor's will by relying on the public opinion. I am just doing my duty, and the matter will never be like that."

degree……"

"What if it arrives?" Zhao Jiu's expression remained unchanged and he interrupted the other party directly.

"And if it really comes to a situation where the beans are divided and the pot is broken, I will not go to Bagong Mountain with the officials. I will die in Tokyo first for the officials to repay the emperor's kindness for many years!" Li Guang answered with all his strength!

.

"I believe in you." Zhao Jiu nodded, his expression still unchanged. "I believe in you too. And I already know what you mean. Please remember what you said today... Now, it's my turn to make my own decision."

Let me tell you, the Song Dynasty can negotiate for peace, but I will not negotiate for peace!"

Several people were obviously relieved, but after a moment, their expressions changed slightly... So they were relieved, because the officials seemed to have finally given in, and this matter could more or less avoid the fate of being thrown off the table; so their expressions changed slightly, but it was for the officials

I'm a little worried about the button left.

But before these ministers could think too much, Zhao Jiu continued: "You go and talk to the Jin people, but you must tell the Jin people, all civil and military officials, and the people of the world that I am not willing to make peace. I am only forced by filial piety and the will of the people."

I have to become a mute... I know what you are thinking, so just pretend that I am hiding your ears."

"I don't dare..." Lu Haowen and others immediately bowed their heads and felt even more relieved, because this seemed to be a real peace negotiation.

"Then we will negotiate terms with the Jin people. I will meet all the captives in Jingkang, below the Second Saint, regardless of male or female, first..." Zhao Jiu ignored the statements made in the past few days and continued to speak calmly. "

I know that people in the world have always been talking about me, saying that I am afraid that the two saints will come back to seize the throne, and I deliberately do not welcome the two saints... This matter must be talked about publicly, so that these people can shut up... I want them all to come back openly!"

Lu Haowen and the other six people became more and more relieved... They never imagined that the officials would be so generous that even the two saints would not care about them anymore.

"Finally, on the premise that the Second Saints and others cross the river, if they still promise to return the five counties of the Puppet Qi, then I will formally make peace with them as long as the five counties are returned." Zhao Jiu continued. "This last clause

, we must talk openly and openly! Do you understand?"

Lu Hao asked the following, and the governors and Li Guang thought about it for a long time, and were completely relieved, but they all held up their hands and said yes... Because although the officials left some hidden details, they basically said that one obeys people's hearts.

However, Li Guang couldn't hold it back in the end, and responded carefully again: "The official family is related to the national plan, and some small tricks may not be effective."

"Just do it." Zhao Jiu waved his hands to each other, unwilling to explain at all, and instead walked away.
