"Peace? How can these barbarians negotiate with us when they are so fierce now? Even if we negotiate peace, I'm afraid it won't be able to satisfy their appetite."

"You are right, Lao Pu. If we want to make peace, we will have to bleed a lot. Instead of that, we might as well have a hard fight with them! Let them stay quiet for decades!"

But some people soon raised objections.

The ones who spoke the loudest were the martial artists.

They want to fight.

Because no matter how they fight, as long as Dayu doesn't lose, even if they don't lose or win, the final result will be beneficial to them.

Of course, there are also those who remain silent, such as Marquis Wu'an, Marquis Xuanping, etc.

All of them had sons who were captured by the Liao army outside Fengmen Pass, and there were even family heirs among them, so they had to struggle.

This meeting lasted from late night to dawn, and from dawn to noon.

The final decision has yet to be made.

The lunches of Liang Hanmin and other ministers were delivered to the Imperial Study Room by people from the palace.

"Your Majesty, Master Yu has rushed back from Chengdu Mansion and is waiting outside for the call."

While he was eating, a eunuch came in from outside the house and came to Liang Hanmin to report in a low voice.

Liang Hanmin said continuously: "Let him come in quickly!"

In fact, Chengdu has always been a worry for him. But now that Liao, Jin, Feng, and Tiemeng are jointly attacking, he has to put the rebellion behind for the time being.

Didn't even mention it during the meeting.

In the view of Liang Hanmin and other ministers and generals, although the rebel army has gradually grown in strength and can be said to have taken control of Chengdu and Tongchuan counties, the threat is still much smaller than that of foreign enemies.

Over the years, if it weren't for their past friendships, the rebel armies in various places would have been wiped out by them long ago.

And as long as they free up their hands, it will be easy to destroy the rebel army.

If the rebels really choose to attack Kyoto at this juncture and have evil intentions, they will destroy the rebels even if they grit their teeth.

Especially those old heroes.

They helped Liang Hanmin conquer the world in the first place. If Lu Liang overthrew Liang Hanmin, they would not be in a good position.

"Your Majesty, Yu Yuanwei, bows before the Holy One."

Yu Yuanwei quickly entered the house.

The eyes of all the ministers fell on him instantly.

"Get down quickly."

Liang Hanmin looked at Yu Yuanwei for a few times and said, "Ai Qing is so busy, could it be that you haven't gone home yet?"

Yu Yuanwei replied: "I was anxious to come back and report my orders to the emperor, but I did not return home."

"Thank you for your hard work."

Liang Hanmin was somewhat moved and said with emotion: "If all of us in Dayu and Chongqing are virtuous ministers like Aiqing, then I can rest easy."

Then he waved to the eunuch and said, "Let the imperial dining room prepare meals quickly and give Yu Aiqing a seat."

I have to say that as an emperor, Liang Hanmin was really talented.

Such courtesy to the corporal made Yu Yuanwei's eyes a little complicated.

He thanked him, nodded to the ministers, and said to Liang Hanmin: "Your Majesty, I am going to Chengdu on this trip and have already met brothers Lu Liang and Lu Fang."

"Um."

Liang Hanmin nodded slightly, "What did they say?"

Yu Yuanwei reported: "They have agreed to the imperial court's conditions and will not add fuel to the flames of war on the imperial court's border."

"oh?"

Liang Hanmin was slightly stunned, as if he was a little surprised.

Then he nodded, "That's very good, that's very good. This Lu Liang, brother Lu Fang is indeed serving the country and the people with great righteousness."

The ministers did not dare to show their approval.

What the Emperor said cannot be taken seriously, let alone echoed by others.

This is just like when the emperor said that he wanted to give the Zen position to Lu Liang, just listen to it.

But they were also a little surprised.

Unexpectedly, Lu Liang and Lu Fang would actually agree to the court's conditions. If it were for them, the court would have to fight to the death with such a tactic, no matter the cost.

Anyway, when the border war ends, those so-called rebels will be dead after all.

Brothers Lu Liang and Lu Fang are still young after all.

But, could it be that even Master Xu couldn’t see through this situation?

Someone said: "Your Majesty, those rebels say so, but will they...really keep their word?"

It’s Dendrobium from Zhai Menghu, the Marquis of Wu’an.

He should have the worst impression of Lu Fang among the nobles, because Lu Fang used his two sons as stepping stones when he was in Kyoto.

These words seemed to be addressed to Liang Hanmin, but his eyes drifted to Yu Yuanwei's head.

"snort!"

Yu Yuanwei couldn't help but snorted lightly, "I can't guarantee others, but my student is definitely a person who keeps his word."

"Ah!"

Zhai Menghu sneered disapprovingly, "Master Yu, are you proud that you have a rogue student?"

Yu Yuanwei frowned and looked at him, neither humble nor arrogant, and said: "If he hadn't been born like this, my student would never have embarked on this path."

He treats things rather than people.

"Even so, so what?"

Zhai Menghu said again: "Your student Lu Fang is not their backbone. What he said doesn't count."

Lu Fang did have some fame in Kyoto, and he was much more famous than Lu Liang before. But everyone knew that the leader of the rebel army was Lu Liang, and it could only be Lu Liang.

Unless Lu Liang is dead.

Yu Yuanwei said: "Don't talk about me as a student, just talk about Mrs. Xu. Do you think Mrs. Xu will go back on her words? Let me say something disrespectful. Although Lu Liang is a traitor, as far as I know him, He is also a generous man who cares about the people's livelihood. He will definitely not let the entire Chongqing live in ruins just to seize this country. Even if I am wrong about him, could he still want a world that is fragmented and the people's hearts are lost?"

The faces of all the ministers changed slightly when they heard this.

People's hearts...

If this is taken into consideration, then it is indeed the most correct way for Lu Liang and Xu Jinnian to choose to stand still.

Someone looked at Liang Hanmin quietly, with a hint of fear in his eyes, as if he was still on guard.

This emperor is not only a master of mind, but his methods are also extraordinary.

"enough!"

Only then did Liang Hanmin speak out to stop Yu Yuanwei and Zhai Menghu, saying: "Although Mrs. Xu no longer serves the imperial court, I believe in him."

"The Emperor's Holy Ming!"

All the ministers said.

But in fact, I quite disagree with it.

If you really believe it, it won't be just what you say.

The emperor has no intention of allocating the troops deployed in the southwest, so naturally he is still on guard against the rebels.

No one would point out this statement.

In the end, no one took the rebels too seriously.

Now that the troops in the southwest have been deployed to deal with the rebels, even if the rebels rush eastward, they will definitely not be able to threaten Kyoto in a short time.

After dinner, the meeting continued.

Yu Yuanwei, who had not had time to go home, was left in the imperial study.
