After calming down, Zhao Xing thought about it carefully and felt that what Yu Yunwen said made sense.

If the Ming Dynasty made up his mind to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty and took his life to the Zhao family, they would definitely not have any negotiations. If they accepted the negotiations, it would mean that they were not ready to go south.

The event required for this preparation is not a day or two, but as fast as one or two years, and as slow as three or five years. If there were any natural disasters and man-made disasters in the Ming Dynasty during this period, the Southern Song Dynasty would be able to survive for a while.

This is the opportunity, this is the possibility of survival.

Moreover, using this as a breakthrough, they could refuse some unreasonable requests that the Ming Dynasty might have made. Anyway, they were determined that they were not ready to go south in full, so that they could protect the interests of the Southern Song Dynasty as much as possible, so that they would not lose their wife and soldiers.

Yu Yunwen's suggestion was praised by Zhao Xing. Among the officials, Chen Junqing, Hu Quan, Wang Dabao, Wang Shipeng and others also agreed with Yu Yunwen's suggestion, so Zhao Xing nodded and accepted the decision and made up his mind.

Then he glanced at the others who had no indication.

Ye Yi asked, Chen Jiao and Zhou Linzhi.

In the previous chaos, the three of them did not show any signs of their feelings and were at a loss, like a useless mascot for dementia, which made Zhao Xing very unhappy.

This is the case now, and Zhao Xing can't let them live a better life no matter what.

Let’s start with Ye Yiwen and Shen.

"Good Lord Ye, Mr. Chen, as the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, you should play your role. I appoint you as the chief and deputy envoys to serve as envoys to the Ming army. I wonder if you are willing?"

Ye Yiwen and Shen Gai had just reacted. When they saw Zhao Xing's angry face, they immediately realized that they did not perform well in the Lin'an chaos before and did not receive Zhao Xing's recognition, so they now need to do more things to get Zhao Xing's recognition.

With their status and power, it is naturally impossible for them to escape in panic before the Southern Song Dynasty was confirmed to perish. However, under this situation, they who have never participated in the military have really found it difficult to make any accurate response...

Not every civil servant has the courage of Yu Yunwen to go directly to the out-of-control military camp to ask the army to follow him.

However, since Lin'an City has stabilized and the order has been forcibly restored, as prime ministers, they must do something to prove their usefulness and reliability.

But……

The Ming army was sent to...

Is this really an envoy rather than a funeral?

The two of them looked at me and I looked at you, and the expressions on their faces were very bad.

"Your Majesty, this..."

"Are you scared?"

"I'm welcome..."

"I'm afraid of it! The two armies are fighting and the envoys are coming. The Ming Kingdom claims to be on the rise. Will it still make things difficult for you two envoys?"

Zhao Xing said furiously: "Even if they make things difficult for you, you can kneel down and be Mingchen directly, but see if Su Yonglin wants you!"

Such heart-killing words were spoken out from Zhao Ling, and Ye Yiwen and Shen Gai were frightened, so they hurriedly knelt on the ground.

"As a minister of the Song Dynasty, how dare I do something to deviate from the Song Dynasty?"

"If the minister eats the king's fortune and receives the king's kindness, he must do his best to die before he dies!"

"snort!"

Seeing the two of them kneeling on the ground, Zhao Xing shouted angrily and said, "I hope you can really do what you said, but don't be scared to stand up when you arrive at the Ming army camp, and you can't say anything!"

Ye Yiwen frowned, and Chen Ji looked sad.

The two hurriedly said that they didn't dare.

They also knew that what they did in this storm was too embarrassing, but the terrifying news was so terrifying that they really thought the Song Dynasty was about to be destroyed in the midst of storms.

They are civil officials who do not understand military affairs. When they encounter such things that concern the life and death of the country, they can stand firm and not fall even if they have the courage to do so.

Guzhang

Although they usually disdain for military and military generals, it is for their own people and their country's military generals have been bound and tamed. In this way, no military general dares to be detrimental to civil servants, and even civil servants despise military officials very much.

But once you encounter foreign troops who are not subject to their own rules, it will be different.

The Ming Dynasty established its country with military force, and its army was powerful and good at fighting, very powerful, and its status as a general was very high, which was not the same as the generals of the Song Dynasty. Of course, the civil servants of the Song Dynasty were timid when facing them.

Now is not the classical era of becoming generals and prime ministers in the past. There are few people who are both civil and military. Ye Yiwen and Shen Qiao are both powerless. Facing the fierce Ming army, they really don’t know what they should do.

However, they had to follow the emperor's orders, so they could only bite the bullet and ask the emperor for the purpose of this mission and their authority.

"Go and ask why Ming Kingdom went south to attack our country in violation of the black and white peace agreement, and ask why they did such a thing. Am I not obedient enough? I gave the annual monies and I agreed to the verdict they sent. I even took the edict on my knees. What else do they do? Do you have to ask half of my country to succeed?"

Zhao Xing said with grief and anger: "If I really want half of my country, although I, Zhao Xing, have no power to tie a chicken, I will never be the king of a country that will destroy. Let them come! I would rather die than surrender to them!"

Ye Yiwen and Shen Qiao looked at each other.

You didn't mention our permissions?

So Chen Qiao gritted his teeth and asked, "What does Your Majesty have?"

"Let them go back wherever they come from!"

Zhao Xing said angrily: "Kill our people and occupy our territory. What do they think they are? Barbarians?!"

"His Majesty!"

The two of them kowtowed quickly and asked Zhao Sheng to calm down.

Several ministers next to him also quickly comforted Zhao Xing, asking Zhao Xing not to be so angry.

Zhao Xing took a few deep breaths and calmed down a little.

"You are not allowed to agree to any conditions privately. Let's talk about anything back. No matter what Ming State intends, what requirements are used as the standard for a ceasefire, whether you want money or cede land, if you dare to agree to one privately, I will ask you to look good and hear clearly?!"

"I will receive the order!"

Ye Yiwen and Shen Gai quickly expressed that they understood.

On the way out of the palace to prepare, Chen Qiao sighed.

"I don't know whether it's good or bad. If one is bad, I'll throw my life there, but what should I do?"

Looking at Chen Nie's cowardly look, Ye Yiwen was immediately angry.

"I was already embarrassed just now, and all the limelight was stolen by Yu Yunwen. As the Minister of the Shang Dynasty, we are actually going to be sent out to serve as an envoy. What a shame! Do you still have to consider your personal honor and disgrace here?"

"This... Mr. Ye, you are too..."

"It is a great humiliation to be an official for decades and never be so despised by the master. This is a great shame. When I go on an envoy, I will definitely avenge my previous shame and never let the shame continue!"

Ye Yiwen clenched his fists, and the flames of fighting spirit in his heart grew higher and higher.

Chen should see something was wrong and hurriedly said, "What do you want to do? Mr. Ye, this is a Ming army on behalf of the mission, so you must not do anything randomly!"

"If the two countries do not kill the envoys, if the Ming Dynasty doesn't even understand this, there is nothing to say! If you die, you'll die!"

Ye Yiwen shook his sleeves and left the palace with his head held high and his chest raised.

He felt that he was so embarrassing just now. Compared with Yu Yunwen, who was tough, he didn't look like a man.

No, I can't continue like this. After all, it was the prime minister of the Song Dynasty. Now he has become an envoy on the mission. If he loses face again, who knows how to punish him in the future?

Can this Shangshu Zuo Cheng continue to do it?

Ye Yiwen soon had some ideas about the next negotiations.
