Although Lin'an City is a big city, if the outer city is lost and only the inner city is left, it will be impossible to hold on.

The strong city of Xiangyang City cannot last long after Fancheng is lost, which is enough to show the strong siege ability of Ming Dynasty.

How could it be possible to stop the Ming army from rushing in with just one inner city?

Don't die too badly, it's the best ending for everyone.

So Chenjiu shook his head directly.

"It cannot be stopped. Once the outer city wall is lost, the hearts of the army and the people in the city will collapse. No matter how strong the inner city wall is, it cannot be withstand it."

Chen Qiao looked at Zhang Xiao and whispered: "What does Jingfu want to say? Please say it directly. I have nothing to worry about now."

"What I mean is that the truce is now, and the conditions can be negotiated. If the city wall is broken, everything will be over."

Zhang Feng frowned and said, "Although Yu Yunwen is crazy and perverse, he said one thing well. If the Ming Dynasty wants to destroy the Song Dynasty, there is no need to put forward so many conditions. The reason why the conditions are put forward means that the Ming Dynasty does not seem to intend to destroy the Song Dynasty.

No matter what the reason was, the Ming Dynasty was not prepared to destroy the Song Dynasty. Since that was the case, why did we force the Ming Dynasty to destroy the Song Dynasty? My husband thought that according to the content written in Su Yonglin's "Hongwu Political Commentary", if the Ming Dynasty destroyed the Song Dynasty, would we still live?"

"Of course not. We all have to die. Based on our identity and what we have done, we are the example of the best people mentioned by Su Yonglin. We all have to die."

"So, once the Ming Dynasty breaks through the outer wall, we are afraid that it will be too late to die, let alone the others?"

Zhang Shi whispered: "In the current situation, the Ming Dynasty may be because of the Yellow River, or because of something else, and did not really try to destroy the Song Dynasty. Although this is a matter of time, even if there is a glimmer of life, we cannot easily give up the opportunity to survive.

As long as we survive this crisis, we can find ways to leave a way out, or escape to another country's hidden life, or pretend to die, and escape to somewhere in the countryside to hide the name, but this requires time to arrange.

But at the moment, we do not even have a way out. No matter what happens, we are all fish on the chopping board. We can only pray that the Ming Kingdom's knife will fall a little later. At this time, if we want to ask for a way out, we must not count on others, but can only rely on ourselves."

"How can we rely on ourselves?"

Chen Jiong squinted his eyes and looked at Zhang Ju: "Jingfu, you seem to have a solution?"

"I really thought of a solution, but this method cannot be accomplished by relying on it alone. It is possible to have a husband take action."

"I can only take action? How can I, a deposed guilty man, take action? It's new, let's talk about it."

"My husband, if we want to preserve our glory, wealth and family, we can only kill Yu Yunwen, force the current officials to abdicate, and support the new emperor to the throne! Modify the national policy, negotiate peace with the Ming Dynasty, and end this war!"

Zhang Shi pressed his voice very low, but his tone was very firm.

Chen Ji heard it clearly, his pupils shrank, and he was shocked.

"What are you saying? As a minister of the Song Dynasty, how could we do such unfaithful and unjust? You... you are killing my life!"

"My husband will understand! Only this is the only way to go for the plan now. Otherwise, the Ming army will attack the city tomorrow and will not give up until it is destroyed. At that time, the Song Dynasty will fall, and our lives will be lost, and our family and clan members will be killed by the Ming Kingdom! Is this the ending that my husband wants?!"

Zhang Feng took a step forward, knelt in front of Shen Gai, bowed his hand with a ferocious expression and said, "Today's officials have refused Mingguo's conditions for their own selfishness and insisted on fighting. It would be fine if they could win, but can they win?

Since the war started, the Song Dynasty has won one victory? None! Even though he knew there was no chance of winning, he still had to do this, forcing millions of people in Lin'an City to endure the killing of the Ming army with him, forcing our family to be destroyed and our bodies will be killed! Do you have to watch your family members die in front of you?!"

Chen Gai's face was pale.

"Yes...yes...but we are ministers of the Song Dynasty, how can we do such things...what is this different from a traitor?"

"This is for the survival of the Song Dynasty!"

Zhang Ju said firmly: "The tyrant monarch is incompetent and cannot protect the Song Dynasty. He will also drag the entire Song Dynasty to persecute with his own selfishness. He is sorry to the ancestors of the Song Dynasty, and to the people who were brutally persecuted by the Ming Dynasty. He is really unjust, incompetent and unrighteous! How can such a foolish monarch help him stabilize the world?"

Gu Sheng

Chen Gai was very shocked by this statement.

But when he thought about it carefully, he felt full of unwillingness.

The stupid things the emperor did led to the Ming Dynasty's attack on the south, causing such disasters, but everyone had to bear the consequences together, and they would face the tragedy of destroying their families and destroying their clans.

How could they be willing to bear such a thing?

This is not the treatment of a Confucian official!

And if you should say it or not, your head hurts really, and you really hate it in your heart.

It’s obviously not what I did, but you want to slander me? You still smashed me so hard! I wish you could smash me to death!

Thinking of this, Chen Gai felt a huge resentment and injustice in his heart.

I worked hard for the Song Dynasty and tried everything, but ended up like this? Is it necessary to die with you, the selfish emperor?

Damn, the emperor and the scholars share the world. This world is not only owned by your Zhao family emperor, but also our scholars and officials!

Chen Jiong clenched his fists, and his anger surged upwards, making his heart burn so hard that he could not hold on.

But he still had a hint of hesitation.

"But the official family is the emperor, the emperor, and we are the ministers. If we do this, are we..."

"If the king treats his ministers as his hands and feet, then the ministers regard him as his confidant; if the king treats his ministers as dogs and horses, then the ministers regard him as a countryman; if the king treats his ministers as earth, then the ministers regard him as a enemy!"

Zhang Shi said firmly: "When he slandered you for collusion with Ming Kingdom, slandered you for rebellious aspirations, and threw teacups on your head, he already regarded you as a mustard!

He doesn't trust you and counts all his mistakes on you. How can such a king be qualified to be loyal to others? What's more, he also said that he would deal with you after the war! In this way, no matter whether the Song Dynasty can win or not, will my husband's fate be good? My husband, you should wake up!"

Chen Gai was immediately enlightened and had a deep understanding of Zhang Shi's statement.

If you win, if you want to be disposed of by Zhao Shen, you may die.

If they lost, they were all liquidated by Ming Dynasty and died even worse.

It's just a word of death, and you can't see the possibility of survival.

Since this is the case, why do you still have to watch your end without trying hard to find a way out for yourself?

"What you said... makes sense."

"So, we should plan actions immediately. After the action, we can support one person to ascend the throne at will. At that time, the Prime Minister will preside over the government and immediately make peace with the Ming Kingdom to solve all problems. When the Ming Kingdom withdrew its troops, the matter will be done!"

Chen should look at Zhang Xiao excitedly and suddenly had a question.

"Jing Husband, why do you encourage me like this? Could it be..."

Zhang Shi nodded, not denying his selfishness.

"My father is devoted to the country, but he died tragically by the emperor. If he is wise and powerful, I would not dare to do anything, but he has made many foolish moves and is incompetent, which has led to the Song Dynasty reaching this point today, and we are all facing the situation of destruction of our family!

Seeing that not only my father died innocently, my entire family was dragged down to death by his incompetence, how could I endure such a thing? Even if the risk of this matter is extremely high, I am willing to give it a try! Avenge your father! Seek the possibility of continuation for the family!"
