2201 Don't Want to Fight
This kind of favor, even the emperor's own uncle - Lord Ming, has never had this kind of love.
"Oh, is that so? Midnight once went to mourn the former emperor of Nanling?" Shu Tianci pretended not to know and asked.
There was no sound from behind the heavy curtain for a long time. Just when everyone thought that the regent would not answer, a slight cough came from behind the curtain: "Return to the emperor, yes! However, it is not a secret, but It's fair and square!"
"Only and aboveboard? That old emperor has been unwilling to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, and has violated our frontiers many times, disturbing the peace of our dynasty. The regent is lucky. This old stubborn is dead, and you still go to mourn him. Could it be that you still have personal friends? "Shu Hao sneered, questioning every sentence, approaching the person behind the curtain.
All the ministers, look at me, I look at you, look at the shadow on the curtain, and look at the emperor sitting in the dragon chair. Those who are timid and have nothing to do with this matter immediately started shrinking. head turtle.
Prince Ming has long disliked the regent, they are all princes, one of them is the emperor's uncle, and the other is just a king with a different surname. Logically speaking, they should be different.
There is indeed a difference, but it is the other way around. The emperor's uncle, the prince, is not as prestigious as a king with a different surname.
Shu Hao regards Qin Ziye as a thorn in his side, and everyone knows it well.
Everyone looked at the hall in unison again, the figure behind the curtain was sitting upright, the same as before, with his back upright, he didn't slack off because of Lord Ming's questioning, and he didn't even make a sound waves.
"I ruled the country in the Qing Dynasty, paid attention to etiquette and laws, and enjoyed the whole world. Everyone knows that except Nanling, even the emperors of the Western Zhou Dynasty and Beifan passed away. My Qing Dynasty sent envoys to express condolences. Nanling is separated from our border. It’s not very far away, so why can’t you go to offer condolences? Or is it that my Qing can’t accommodate people, but can only accommodate countries that surrender to my Qing?”
The voice from behind the curtain was as cold as if wrapped in ice. They rarely heard the people behind here talking, especially when they said so much. Not a talkative person, it's rare to be able to say so many words now.
Everyone listened to it a lot, so they didn't think it was strange, but now Gu Ning'an, who followed the court, felt a little dazed when he heard the voice.
This voice sounds familiar! It's like I've heard it somewhere.
But above this hall, he dare not take it lightly. I can only prick up my ears and continue to listen.
Shu Hao sneered: "Really? The Qing Dynasty is a country of etiquette, but what about so many soldiers? Has the regent forgotten? How did General Tan and his wife be bullied by Nanling people? Such a deep hatred, can the regent Just forget it?"
Tan Yexing, who was present, froze slightly. This incident had happened for more than ten years, and now he was suddenly brought up. Thinking of his son and daughter-in-law who died tragically, as long as he thought of their broken and incomplete corpses, he even had a dull pain in breathing. .
"General Tan, don't you think so?" Shu Hao looked at Tan Yexing whose expression had changed, feeling a burst of pride in his heart.
Tan Yexing wanted to adjust his mentality well, but there was someone who wanted to stand up and speak out.
say what?
The pain in Tan Yexing's chest was deeper than the sea, and he hadn't come out for so many years, and now it was opened, and the freshly formed scar started to gurgle blood again.
Everyone looked at Tan Yexing in unison again. You must know the tragedy back then. Some generals in the hall had seen it with their own eyes. It was so tragic, and now thinking about it...
Tan Yexing's body began to tremble, his eye sockets turned red immediately, and he trembled, trying to hold back the surging sadness: "Old minister...Old minister..."
How wonderful it would be if there were no wars!
In that way, his son and daughter-in-law will not die, and they will not die so tragically. Every time he recalled it, his heart would bleed.
It hurts!
As a half-length military general, when he saw the corpses of his son and daughter-in-law, he had a thought, what a good idea it would be if he didn't fight.
This idea has been lingering in his mind for more than ten years. If there is no war, his son and daughter-in-law will not die. After fighting for a lifetime, countless bones and corpses are strewn across the field. In every war, how many brothers will die, and the bones are exhausted into a mountain. And those people are all flesh and blood with parents and children at home. !
Like the parents of those dead brothers, he felt that it would be great if there was no war!
When Tan Yexing was talked about, he couldn't help but shed old tears. Shu Hao, who was on the side, was overjoyed when he saw this, and waited for Tan Yexing to speak.
Unexpectedly, Tan Yexing said with a choked voice: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that if this Nanling can retreat without a fight and surrender to our Qing Dynasty, that would be a good thing!"
When Shu Hao heard this, his beard was about to turn up in anger. He looked at the general who had been a soldier all his life, and angrily accused: "What? General Tan, have you been cowardly yet? You are a general, why don't you start?" It is your duty to open up the territory, and it is your duty to defend the homeland, you enjoy the title of Hussar General, but now you say such words that disturb the morale of the army, what is your intention!"
Tan Yexing smiled sadly: "Returning to the prince, the old minister has no intentions. Our Qing Dynasty is now when the weather is smooth and the people live and work in peace and contentment. The country's fortune is prosperous. Such a good time is the time to raise troops and store food for the people. , if the war continues and the people are displaced, I will
Where is the significance of our opening up territories? "
Yes, the war is for the good of the Qing Dynasty, but now that the Qing Dynasty is good enough, why go to war?
The people who suffer the most from the war are the people. The war continues and the people are displaced. Then they are fighting outside and seeing the people in the city are struggling. What are they doing for it?
"Nonsense!" Shu Hao was anxious, and sneered, "General Tan, you were bought by Xiao Yuanyao, a little emperor with no hair on his mouth, right?"
