The autumn in Daxing City seems a bit depressed, and many people who have lived in Daxing City for most of their lives also feel that they look a little strange.

I don’t know when it started, but rumors that the envoys of Ning King Li Chi and Geling King Han Feibao were all in Daxing City have been well known to everyone in the city.

Even if someone without any knowledge and insights knows what it means to appear at the same time on both sides at this time.

As a result, the people in Daxing City gradually became divided into two factions, with no hostility, only worries.

Although they were just talking about it in private, everyone was talking about it, which was enough to show that the people actually knew what they were about to face.

Some people think that the emperor should choose Han Feibao because Han Feibao was born as a military soldier after all, so he was the original minister of His Majesty.

He was the adopted son of the governor of Yongzhou, and he actually represented the power of the original court.

If the emperor compromised with Han Feibao, Han Feibao would not be too difficult for the emperor.

Some people also say that they should surrender to King Ning because the emperor has said such words and it is to tell the world.

I also heard that the people under the rule of King Ning lived a very good life, and they had little to support their elderly care. Some people even said that now in Jizhou is a paradise on earth. They don’t pick up their own widows on the road and don’t close their doors at night. Everyone has money to spend and eat meat every meal.

Even the people were talking so much, not to mention the adults who are still officials in the court.

In private, they have discussed it countless times. If they can make decisions, they have already made decisions for the emperor.

However, it is not them who make the choice. They are not worthy. History will choose the right person for the future.

Even Yu Wenli, who is now the official leader of the court, has the honor of a duke and has the power of the prime minister, has to face such a choice.

The basis for his judgment is different from most people. Most of them are considering what he will do in the future. What he is considering is what His Majesty will do in the future.

Especially after Your Majesty went to Yibin Garden to meet Xiahou Zhuo, Yu Wenli could also feel that Your Majesty had changed in his mentality.

The reason was not that Xiahou Zhuo said anything to His Majesty or something, but that Xiahou Zhuo went into the palace to inform the prince of danger.

The prince is the person His Majesty cares most now, and Da Chu is already ranked second.

East Study Room.

The emperor poured Yu Wenli a cup of tea, and the old minister quickly got up and took the tea cup with both hands.

After Prince Wu's death, no one among the ministers now has a higher prestige than him.

"I want to ask you, if I really want to choose to surrender, is it Han Feibao or Li Chi?"

Yu Wenli was surprised when the emperor asked so directly, even though he had actually expected it.

“Each has its pros and cons.”

Yu Wenli held the teacup and said, "Your Majesty, judging from the attitude of the ministers, they prefer Han Feibao."

The emperor nodded: "I can think of it."

Of course, those people would choose Han Feibao because Li Chi is not the same type of people as them.

Han Feibao is a representative of the power of the old ministers. In the final analysis, it is no different from Yang Xuanji at the time.

Li Chi is different. It is better to say that Li Chi represents the people of the world than to say that Li Chi represents the power.

The choices of the powerful and powerful class will never be exactly the same as those of ordinary people. When some of them appear, they will only be the general trend.

"But......"

Yu Wenli said: "Even if a person like Han Feibao treats His Majesty with courtesy at the beginning, as long as he ascends to the throne, he will inevitably have other plans."

His words are quite tactful, but more directly, Han Feibao will never allow potential threats to exist.

As long as the emperor does not die, there will be people in the world who are willing to be loyal to the emperor.

Don’t underestimate the loyalty of some people in this world. For example, a hundred years after the Great Zhou Dynasty was destroyed, there were still many descendants of the Great Zhou ministers planning to restore the country.

Relatively speaking, Li Chi can not kill the emperor, but Han Feibao will definitely get rid of the emperor.

After hearing Yu Wenli's words, the emperor nodded: "I think I am a threat, I am afraid that I will not give up, and I am not confident in myself, so it is Han Feibao."

Yu Wenli said: "The people Han Feibao supports now will be afraid that His Majesty will rule the world again in the future."

The emperor smiled and said, "Although it is impossible, I am still a little happy after you say so."

He walked to the window and stood, looking at the autumn scenery outside.

"So, you think that if you compromise with Han Feibao, all the ministers can survive, but I can't."

Yu Wenli nodded: "What Your Majesty said is that all civil and military officials do not want to surrender to King Ning Li Chi because they know that Your Majesty can survive, but they may not all live."

The emperor nodded: "Because Han Feibao is someone who will compromise with the power of his old ministers, but Li Chi cannot. Li Chi is someone who has not compromised since Jizhou."

Yu Wenli said: "Your Majesty, in fact, there are still hundreds of thousands of troops in Daxing City. If Your Majesty is willing, you can give up Daxing City and lead your army to break south."

The emperor looked back at Yu Wenli, as if he wanted to say something, but he could hold back. He signaled Yu Wenli to continue speaking.

Yu Wenli said: "Originally, Yuezhou was occupied by rebels, and the thief Li Brother Hu was rampant in the southern border. However, after Li Brother Hu's death, the Yuezhou army led by Guanting Hou had been transferred to Yangzhou. There were no powerful rebels in Yuezhou. With the hundreds of thousands of troops in His Majesty's hands, they have now moved south to Yuezhou, accumulate strength, and plan to move later, and may return to the capital in the future."

The emperor sighed: "This is the words of a loyal minister. I have talked to others before. None of their answers said the choice you mentioned."

Yu Wenli leaned over and said, "If Your Majesty is willing to go south, the old minister can lead the army to cut off the rear. Although the old minister has no ability to lead the army, the old minister can effectively die."

The emperor breathed a lot and he went over to support Yu Wenli: "I am very pleased, but I no longer have the fighting spirit."

Yu Wenli was stunned.

The emperor said: "I can sleep in the open air, I can be wandering, but my children... shouldn't be carrying anything anymore."

Yu Wenli instantly understood what the emperor meant.

The emperor said: "This kind of pressure, this kind of burden, this kind of suffering is enough for me."

Yu Wenli said: "Your Majesty, if you really have this plan, I think you should give the prince to Princess Wu for the time being and take it out of Daxing City."

The emperor shook his head: "If I still want to give it a try, it is naturally the most correct choice to hand An'er over to my uncle, but now I really don't want to fight anymore."

He looked at Yu Wenli: "For the first time, I don't want to fight anymore from the bottom of my heart."

Yu Wenli's eyes were filled with tears.

Your Majesty is in front of you. His Majesty the Emperor of Great Chu, being able to say that he doesn't want to make any more of his wishes is enough to show His Majesty's despair.

"I always feel that there is nothing wrong with me, and I haven't lost to myself."

The emperor smiled: "After seeing Li Chi, I realized that I am inferior to others."

"Have you met Li Chi?"

Yu Wenli's face changed drastically.

The emperor paused for a moment and smiled and said, "I have seen Xiahou Zhuo. I have misled my tongue, but it is not a mistake. After all, Xiahou Zhuo represents Li Chi."

Yu Wenli breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that His Majesty was confused because of despair.

The emperor said: "I have never been convinced. I feel that my defeat is unfair, bad luck, and unmanned power."

He looked at Yu Wenli: "But think about it again, when I was still the lord of the Thirteen States, Li Chi was just a small character in Jizhou's carriage. At that time, I was casual.

Then he could order a million troops, and he had only a few friends around him..."

"If you lose, you have to admit it... Although the emperor is the one who cannot afford to lose the most, once you admit it, there will be nothing."

The emperor looked at Yu Wenli and said, "You go to Yibinyuan for me to meet Xiahou Zhuo, and tell him what I mean."

Yu Wenli knelt down on the ground with a pounce: "Please think twice."

The emperor said: "I have thought more than just thinking three times, thinking five times, thinking six times, hundreds, and thousands of times."

He smiled and said, "You don't have to feel sorry for me. I have let it go. What else can you not let it go."

Yu Wenli kowtowed heavily.

He felt sad not only for His Majesty, but also for himself.

He, Chu Chen, would represent the emperor and express his willingness to surrender to the people of Ning Wang. If his name will be written in historical books, then this is the only thing that will be recorded.

His name will always be linked to Chu Mie and is inseparable.

Even if you mention Chu Mie in the past few hundred or thousands of years, you will mention him, the person who represents the emperor to surrender.

"I...I understand."

The emperor reached out to help Yu Wenli up: "I know how difficult, how shameful, and how painful it is, but I can only hand over the matter to you."

"Because you are not only an important minister that I can rely on, but also my father-in-law and An'er's grandfather."

Yu Wenli understood, and he leaned over: "I understand."

The emperor said, "I asked you to talk to you, and there is another reason... You can talk to Xiahouzhuo about the conditions and ask for some conditions for yourself. If the country is not a country, I actually have nothing to give you. Why not just ask you to talk to the people of Ning Wang on behalf of me."

The emperor tried hard to make himself laugh and felt relieved: "Just say, you can urge me to surrender to King Ning, but King Ning must give me some good conditions. We... can be regarded as the last time we join forces to cheat Li Chi. "

The emperor held Yu Wenli's hand: "It can be my death, but I must keep An'er."

Yu Wenli knelt down again and kowtowed heavily.

Yibin Garden.

Li Chi stood in the yard and looked up at the fallen autumn leaves.

It is said that this is a very strange thing, because Daxing City is in the south of the Yangtze River, and the autumn scenery in the south of the Yangtze River has never been obvious. The trees here are different from those in the north, and they will not experience autumn fall and spring.

I don’t know why it’s so strange this year, the leaves that shouldn’t have fallen also.
