Chapter 394

General Pei's death directly changed the situation in the world.

The iron cavalry of the state of Qin defeated several defenses of the army of the state of Chu, and soon passed Baihe County, and the capital was in the distance.

In addition to the strong strength of the Qin army and the insufficient combat power of the Chu army, there is another important reason why the army made such a smooth breakthrough.

——The vanguard of the Qin army was king Jing's army. They knew too much about the state of Chu and were full of hatred for the imperial court.

Under the silent attack of the state of Zhao, xidaying did not last too long. The elite of the hundred battles lost their backbone and collapsed faster than everyone, even he Kai and the general of the state of Zhao imagined. When the remnant army of the state of Chu fled and withdrew, the camp even hung the white flag of general Pei when he died.

Whether it is from Baihe county or xidaying to the capital of Chu, it is a vast expanse of land, fertile land, but there is no danger. So far, the general trend of Chu is gone.

The war situation in front kept returning to the capital, and the atmosphere of tension and despair filled the air.

The people stood in the street, looking at the notice, looking numb and at a loss. The officials in the chaotang and other ministries had erratic eyes and didn't know where to look. The scholars of the Academy no longer had those spirits. They were dejected and looked at the distance with their books. They didn't know what they were thinking.

On the contrary, the business of brothels has become excellent. Every night, the buildings on the banks of rivers and lakes are brightly lit and filled everywhere.

On the occasion of the survival and death of the national people, they are in grief and despair. At present, they have to sing all night and only live and dream of death. It seems to be a very understandable thing for the Chu people.

Green birds fly through the night sky of the capital, overlooking these strange pictures and humans, and fall in the deepest part of the palace.

There were no lights in the hall. It was very dark. You could clearly see the lights outside the palace falling in the night sky.

The green bird paced to the end of the wide couch, looked at Jing Jiu's eyes and said, "you don't have time."

Jing Jiu gave a sound and didn't say anything.

If there were no Qin, Zhao, Qi and other countries, the Chu people could live well, but there would always be problems if the strong enemy persisted.

If bachelor Zhang is still alive, this day may come later.

But he died, and now even general Pei is dead.

No one can control such things as life and death, and neither can Jing Jiu.

Even in the real world outside qingtianjian, he can only strive to control his life and death as much as possible, and can not affect others.

The Jing family in Chaoge City, such as the Liu family in a small mountain village, will die one day.

The green bird looked into his eyes quietly and didn't become a little girl.

Soon it will leave again to see the magnificent picture of the army of the state of Qin heading south for the outside practitioners.

Well nine was silent for a while, his fingers flicked, and the oil lamp on the corridor column was lit.

A moment later, footsteps came from outside the hall. The little eunuch knelt on the ground and waited for orders.

Well nine said, "tell the people outside the palace that I will attend the court meeting tomorrow."

……

……

It was not even dawn. The sky was dark, and only the remnants of happiness and despair remained somewhere.

On the road, there was the sound of wheels rolling bluestone slabs. Many cars and sedans came from Nancheng and gradually gathered on the straight road in front of the imperial city.

Some cars stopped, officials raised curtains, looked speechless, or whispered, guessing each other's thoughts and, more importantly, his Majesty's thoughts.

In fact, in the current situation, many officials, including civilian scholars and people, have had the idea of surrender.

Under the attack of Qin and Zhao, the state of Chu could not support it, not to mention that there was no last Zhixi camp. The White Emperor is extremely cruel, and eunuch he is cold and abnormal. If the state of Chu really persists, it will annoy the two. I'm afraid it will usher in a river of blood. Such a tragic thing as slaughtering the city may happen.

Nowadays, the vanguard of the state of Qin is king Jing's army. Many of them are Chu people. It's better to surrender to them than to foreigners directly. King Jing and his subordinates can't do extreme things. The state of Qin even helped the Chu people block the Qingqi of the state of Zhao on the other side of xidaying, if they still wanted to unify the world.

In any case, surrender is the only choice of Chu at present, and the earlier the surrender, the better the result.

This idea lingered in the hearts of all officials.

But they didn't tell their colleagues or friends. Even the closest people didn't know what they were thinking. Because whoever first offers surrender will be a sinner in the history of the state of Chu. No one wants to die with such a reputation - it's better to die in the wine jar of the brothel.

There is also the most important question, that is, what should his majesty do?

Negotiating with King Jing to surrender is the best choice for the state of Chu, but king Jing must kill his majesty and avenge his son

With all kinds of thoughts and speculation about the emperor's mind, the officials walked into the palace in silence like suffocating fish and lined up in two rows on the palace.

On the highest imperial chair, the man was wearing a bright yellow imperial robe, and his black hair was simply tied behind his head with a cloth belt, revealing his beautiful face.

The picture that has not been seen for a long time reminds some ministers of the bloody palace change five years ago. Some are pale because of fear, while others are hopeful. There are two blushes on their pale face, such as bachelor Zhou, who has been exhausted by government affairs and war and has not returned home for 50 days.

Jing Jiu's eyes swept over the faces of the people.

He saw the fear, that is, the military officials who were afraid of being appointed. He saw the excitement, that is, the censor who thought he was ready to fight in person. He also saw the fear, that is, the evil guy who was afraid of the repetition of the bloody story. What he saw most was numbness, that was the boredom after desperate acceptance of his life.

The hall was very quiet and there was no sound until he said, "draw up the decree, I'm sure."

The ministers were surprised. They looked at each other speechless and didn't understand your Majesty's meaning. What is the purpose and what do you want to approve?

"We can talk any way, but we won't talk to Cangzhou and let Xianyang come."

With these words, Jing Jiu got up from the emperor's chair and left the hall.

The hall was still silent until the bright yellow figure disappeared in the depths of the hall, and the officials reacted to what they had heard.

Your majesty... Said... Surrender?!

The officials were shocked and speechless, gave birth to countless complex emotions, looked at each other and didn't know what to do.

Mr. Zhou sighed, his eyes full of pain and guilt.

He felt that he had failed to live up to the high expectations of bachelor Zhang Da. He was sorry for the people of the state of Chu and put his Majesty in such a embarrassing situation. He would never redeem his death.

He knew why his majesty held a court meeting and said this to all the courtiers.

There is no doubt that the state of Chu will be defeated. Surrender is the best choice, but no minister dares to make such a decision.

Just like those stories in history, everyone knows that when the two countries fight, the ministers and the people can surrender, but the emperor can't surrender... Your majesty offered to surrender because he didn't want the ministers in the court to bear historical responsibility and solve the current chaos as soon as possible.

The decision was wise and clear. The question was which emperor would be willing to do so?

Who among the wise officials in the court could not think of what bachelor Zhou could think of? After a long period of silence, several cries suddenly sounded in the hall.

Even if there were no officials crying, their eyes were red, their faces were apologetic and miserable, although they didn't know whether it was true or not.

Too often, temple Qing Huoran turned and stared at these useless officials, and shouted loudly: "mourning! Your majesty is still alive! "

Childe Zhang's mother died four years ago. He is now an old man with silver hair, but he is far more dignified than that year, and even has his father's legacy.

Under his fierce drink, the cry in the hall finally stopped. The ministers woke up and looked at the great scholar Zhou one after another.

Mr. Zhou's lips trembled slightly and squeezed out a difficult sentence: "negotiate peace with the Qin people, and all the forbidden troops will move to the West camp."

Then he stared at the officials with the severest eyes, said the cold voice.

"No one is allowed to talk outside. Don't tell me any bullshit you can't hide. You can hide it day by day, you hear me!"

……

……

A delegation from the state of Qin secretly entered the capital of the state of Chu.

According to the requirements of the state of Chu, King Jing did not appear, but there were still many old Cangzhou people in the mission. Some officials in the imperial court came up with many ideas, trying to get in touch with those people, whether in the same year or in their hometown, in order to protect themselves, and even hope to get a good position in the new dynasty in the future.

Those old people in Cangzhou used to be officials of the state of Chu, but they were elected by King Jing's son Tong Yan. They were in contact with the officials in the imperial court. They showed cold and hatred only when their eyes fell on the palace.

No matter how secret the mission is, it is impossible to hide it from everyone. The news gradually spread in Kyoto, and the storm began to rise. Mr. Zhou, who is famous for his leniency, finally had some of the courage of Mr. Zhang and killed three ministers with extreme toughness, which was considered to stabilize the situation for the time being.

The so-called peace talks are surrender. The state of Chu has no confidence. The state of Qin is advancing step by step, and it is difficult to talk clearly in a short time. However, there is one thing that does not need to be discussed. Both sides know that the emperor of the state of Chu must abdicate.

There are no two days in the world and no two masters in the country.

If the White Emperor wanted to become the Lord of the world, he would not allow Jing Jiu to sit on the throne.

The best outcome of Jing Jiu in the future is probably to get a false title of a prefect and be guarded by heavy soldiers. When the people of Chu gradually forget him, they will be slowly poisoned or starved to death, or accidentally fall into the water, just like his father.

At this time, a decree suddenly came from the deep palace. His majesty wanted to talk to the Qin mission in person.

As soon as the will came out, many officials and the old Cangzhou people in the Qin mission were born with a lot of shame. They thought, what good conditions do you want to ask for at this moment, the conquered king? A bigger house or silk? Or a 16-year-old concubine and a house full of wine?

One morning, several officials from the Qin mission entered the palace and came to the quiet hall. Well nine waved and motioned all the eunuchs and maids to retreat. The officials of the state of Qin thought about some rumors, and their faces changed slightly. They immediately thought that even if you killed us all, what use could it be? At this time, a very ordinary official of the state of Qin suddenly said, "you all step down first." The officials of the state of Qin looked a little uneasy, but they didn't dare to object. They withdrew from the hall according to their words. Well nine looked at the Qin official and said, "I didn't expect you to come." The official of the state of Qin raised his head, relieved Yi Rong, showed his beautiful face and looked at him with a smile“ If I don't come this time, I think I may never see you again. "“ It's over. " A voice suddenly sounded behind the corridor column. This time is no longer lazy, but a little angry. Zhuo rusui came out, looked at Jing Jiu and said angrily, "since it's her, pack up and go quickly."（ I received an award when I went to Shanghai.
