On the night one day later, news of the defeat of the three armies of Wu Rui, Wuwei and Wusheng came to the capital, and how many people would not be able to fall asleep on this night. Some Wu Dynasty officials who knew the truth were running all night long, and began to find their backbone when they confirmed whether the news was true.

Outside the Imperial City Palace Gate.

Cai Jing's carriage stopped. At the fifth day of the morning, it was dark and the city gate was shining with torches. Many officials of all sizes had gathered. Seeing the elderly man getting off the carriage, they all gathered around him. Before he could speak, Cai Jing waved his hand, "I know what you want to ask, and I will wait for me to enter the palace to see His Majesty's reaction."

He was helped by his servant and walked forward a few steps. Seeing a lonely figure outside the crowd, he stopped, "Hey, how can you stand alone?"

Qin Hui has now entered the Censorate, and he cannot be too close to other officials in terms of identity. Perhaps everyone gathers here today, and they often separate themselves from the crowd.

Then, Qin Hui bowed and replied: "It is due to his identity, I hope Mr. Ming will forgive me."

"I know!" Cai Jing nodded and was about to leave when he suddenly asked him again, "What do you think about the Jurchen matter?"

Qin Hui raised his head, his figure was straight, and his expression was solemn to look at the old man: "It depends on how Ming Gong told His Majesty, but he felt that people could be killed, and we should rest and recuperate; the city could be destroyed, and we should rebuild it; the land could be taken away, and we should practice the soldiers to take it back together. But only if the back of the back cannot bend, then we will not be straight for the rest of our lives."

The two looked at each other for a while, Cai Jing looked at him with expressionless face and said coldly: "Peasy, if an emperor is gone, what's the use of having a backbone? Who ordered the world to resist the barbarians' invasion south?"

Then Cai Jing didn't say much, turned around and entered the palace gate. Qin Hui bowed and stepped aside, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The words he had said before were summoned by the emperor did not seem to have been adopted.

He looked at the palace gate, and there was someone scared.

In fact, he actually half of what the admiral of the East Factory did. Unfortunately, these efforts were meaningless when the Jurchen soldiers attacked Bianliang.

"It's time to negotiate peace..." he sighed.

Yanfu Palace.

"….Little Guizi, you disappointed me. The 300,000 soldiers and horses are all about you. What else can I say now? I wish I could cut off your head with my own hands now."

Cai Jing almost ran into the palace. The moment the little yellow gate pushed open the hall door and stepped in, he heard Zhao Ji standing on the dragon courtyard and pointing at the kneeling figure talking.

Then, he took something and threw it out and smashed it on the other party's head. Under the reflection of the flames, Cai Jing saw Tong Guan's blood all over his head, kneeling there with a tired look on his face, and did not dare to move.

"If I could kill you, in return for the Jurchens retreating, I would have killed you long ago. You can leave the original important town, and tens of thousands of people abandon it without saying anything. You let the Jurchens go straight in. You can afford such a sin..."

The candle was burning, and in the dim light, the trembling palace maids and eunuchs, the silent Cai Jingdu stood there quietly, listening to the emperor in the dragon court reprimanding...

Below, Tong Guan knelt down and crawled for two steps, crying and howling: "The official family... I am worried about the safety of Your Majesty. The Jurchens are extremely cruel. Even if I block Wanyan Xiyi with my poor body, what will happen to Wanyan Zongwang on the east side? He will still come over. All I think about is the loyalty of a servant... Your Majesty."

"It's so slightest..." Zhao Ji said for a long time, and after hearing Tong Guan's words, he finally felt soft and sat back on the dragon throne. Then, he looked at the old man on the other side, "Cai Qing must have come to cross the Yellow River south because of the Jurchens, okay... I'm a little confused at this moment... I want to hear your opinion."

The old man in the hall said slowly: "It is difficult to tell whether Tong Shumi is right or wrong. Maybe his starting point is good, but the process is too hasty. However, the reason why the Jurchens went south was not the fault of the one person. Even if he killed Tong Shumi today and asked His Majesty to vent his anger, the matter could not be solved in the end."

He paused and re-entered the conversation, "...What we need to do now is to resist the Jurchens and gather the defeated soldiers without missing a way, but more importantly, try not to get the capital into the whirlpool."

"I can't stop the Jurchens from 300,000 people. How could I stop the Jurchens from going south to Bianliang? They are already crossing the river. Once they cross the Yellow River, I can't defend Bianliang, and I have no idea."

Cai Jing Yu Guang glanced at the emperor above and said further: "So, the old minister thought it was better to make three-hand preparations. One of the things he said before was to gather the defeated troops and garrison the capital. He could not defeat the Jurchens in the field, but it was always possible to defend the city?"

"Where are the other two?" Zhao Ji seemed to have grabbed some hope and looked down with a burning look.

"Peace talks... promised some conditions for the Jurchens and asked them to take some things to stop the army. After all, they had just captured the Liao Kingdom, and the country was not stable. At this time, sending troops to invade the south was certainly the intention of testing our Wu Dynasty, but more of the transfer of the previous war damage to the Wu Dynasty, let us pay the fee, but... this condition may be a bit big, Your Majesty must be prepared." With Cai Jing's current age, he was a little tired after saying so much in one breath. He took a break, and then an eunuch moved a stool and asked him to sit down and continue talking.

"The last one may bring shame to His Majesty, and the old minister does not know whether to talk about it."

"speak!"

Cai Jing took a breath, "Your Majesty and the Queen left Bianliang overnight and went to the south to avoid the Juzhen soldiers..."

"Nothing!" Tong Guan, who was kneeling beside him, raised his head and his voice rose.

Zhao Ji slapped the table and stared at Tong Guan, "Shut up, are you only allowed to abandon the Grandpa. Yuan, let the Jurchen go south, so I will not allow me to go elsewhere to command the situation? Do you still have the emperor in your eyes?"

Tong Guan knelt on the ground, heard the emperor's furious, and quickly kowtowed, "I don't dare."

Above, the golden robe sleeves were brushed.

"Get down!"

...

In the hall, Tong Guan left shortly after he heard a sound.

"... Please Cai Qing to take care of everything. I will send an envoy to the Jurchens to discuss the conditions. If it can be within the scope of acceptance, what's the harm in Goujian?"

"Old minister received the order." Cai Jing bowed and did not rush to leave. After talking about the country, he showed a little smile on his face. "Today, looking at His Majesty's complexion, it seems that the elixir I asked for from Lingyi Mountain is still good."

Zhao Ji nodded, and a smile appeared on his face, "It's true, but unfortunately, there are only three spiritual pills. After the war disaster is over, you can send someone to Lingyi Mountain and ask for some more."

"yes."

Regarding delaying fighter jets and determining the command of three armies, it seems to have been forgotten intentionally or unintentionally.

Outside the city, on the afternoon of the next day, Bai Ning finally returned to the capital and stood at the city gate and looked at the ancient city.

One person, one city.
