"King, Yang Xuangan has already arrived at the Dongdu City, and will arrive at Shangchun Gate tomorrow, and his selection army is even more powerful, and will definitely be able to kill the East Sun Gate tomorrow." Wei Yunqi pressed step by step, "The thief general Han Prime Minister is unstoppable, and he will advance again today, and is close to the West Sun Gate, and will be able to attack the Imperial City tomorrow. If you look forward to the front and back in this crisis, let the imperial city be in chaos, then the imperial city will be lost. Once the imperial city is lost, the eastern capital will fall. Therefore, the king has no way out, and he can only kill decisively and determine the universe with one sword."

This is very reasonable and impeccable. Just imagine that even a central official like Pei Hongce was defeated and his entire army was wiped out, and he was not punished. He was still in office and still had power. Then other officials were even more fine if they were defeated. Since it was okay to defeat the war, why did the family still fight bloody and sacrifice themselves to death? In this case, the King of Yue had no authority, the central government had no authority, and the left-behind mansion was even more arranged. All orders were difficult to be executed, and even if they were executed, it would be greatly reduced or even obscene. The result can be imagined. If the imperial city could be defended in this case, it would be a miracle, not a miracle.

Similarly, the purpose of killing Yang Wang is the same. If those who are close to Yang Xuangan, even have evidence to prove that those who participated in the rebels live well and have no worries about their lives, then others will be even less afraid of breaking the law. They are the highest crime of rebellion, but I just have a passive and lazy battle, or retreat at the last minute, or lose a battle, which is even more nothing. Since there is nothing wrong with breaking the law and discipline, no worries about life, then who is willing to abide by the laws and regulations? Who is willing to follow the order and fight to the death? In this way, the military discipline is dispersed and the morale is sluggish, and everyone is unwilling to fight. How many days can the imperial city be held?

The big guys had no expression on their faces, weighing the pros and cons, and they all had to make a choice in the shortest time. In fact, there is no time for them to think about now. Wei Yunqi's "attack" time is very good. If the big guys hesitate and are reluctant to make up their minds, tomorrow may be the day when Dongdu falls. Dongdu loses such a "miracle" first, he will send all the King of Yue Yang Tong and their big guys to the guillotine, and secondly, Dongdu will be destroyed by the subsequent Liantian war.

The purpose of Xijing was to destroy the Dongdu. The earlier the Dongdu fell, the more beneficial it would be to them. Therefore, Wei Yunqi did not bluff or intimidate, but to real threats. You helped me kill Pei Hongce, I avenge you, you defended Dongdu, and everyone benefited each other, why not do it? On the contrary, you saved Pei Hongce, but you might lose Dongdu, and the price of losing Dongdu is conceivable.

Of course, Wei's move brought all the King of Yue Yang Tong and others to the water. At the time of liquidation in the future, the Wei family in Guanzhong will certainly fight with the Pei family in Hedong, but the King of Yue Yang Tong and others will also suffer from the disaster of the fish. This is equivalent to helping Wei to share some of the attacks from the Pei family in Hedong, and even from the Saint Lord and the Reformers. However, this loss is really insignificant compared to the loss of Dongdu, so the "big bosses" have the only choice. However, they must consider that once they support Wei, they join forces with Wei to kill Pei Hongce, offend Hedong Pei family, offend the Saint Lord and the Reformers, and then Dongdu still falls, and they still have to bear the crime of Dongdu's loss, which is to be more sinful, and they will lose their skin even if they don't die.

So the "big bosses" had to maliciously speculate on the real intention of Wei. If Xijing not only wanted to use this storm to destroy the Dongdu, but also use this storm to destroy the Holy Lord and the Reformers and completely end the reform, it means that this mutiny will soon evolve into a war of imperial unification, the great cause of unification may collapse, Zhongtu may fall into division, and the country's destiny may be defeated. In this way, Wei Yunqi threatened them to join forces to kill Pei Hongce, which is actually to force them to turn against the Holy Lord, the reformers and the Hedong Pei family to achieve the purpose of kidnapping and instigating them, and then use all the conservative forces of the two capitals to fight against the Holy Lord and the Reformers, subvert the country's destiny, and destroy the reforms.

The "big guys" hesitated. The uncertainty of future interests made it difficult for them to make a decision, but at this moment, Taifuqing and Anchang Gongwen broke the silence and the deadlock.

"I agreed with the Censorate's suggestion to kill Pei Hongce on the charge of escaping the battle and Yang Wang on the charge of treason."

A stone caused a thousand waves. Yuan Wendu's public support suddenly made the big men in the dilemma see the "dawn". The psychological balance suddenly became unbalanced. Almost at this moment, the big men made decisions, the same decision as Yuan Wen. At the critical moment, following Yuan Wen, following the Noble Family, and following the noble group of the nobles with the Yuan family and the eight-class nobles, will definitely not be wrong in the general direction, and you can even make profits from it. As for why Yuan Wen supports Wei Yunqi and why he made a choice in a short time, the "big men" chose to ignore it without exception, because Yuan Wen is a big man with real power in the central government. Many times his attitude has already explained everything, and there is no need to find the roots.

"I agree with the Censor's suggestion." Dugu Sheng, the left-level general, also expressed his opinion.

So "agreement" sounds everywhere, and Pei Hongce and Yang Wang's lives were ruthlessly deprived.

King Yang Tong of Yue was very scared and nervous, with a pale face, and his eyes kept turning around Yang Gongren, Yang Hao and Cui Zi, hoping for an answer. Now, besides them, only Fan Zigai and a few Shandong people were left. The central officials from Jiangzuo no longer expressed their opinions, and the situation was basically one-sided.

Fan Zi was unable to support himself, and he dug this "pit" by himself. He shot himself in the foot. He had lost his voice in this matter. Other Jiangzuo people also humiliated themselves to object. It would be better not to express their opinions and remain neutral.

The attitude of King Yang Tong of Yue is actually not important. What is important is the attitude of the royal family and the Shandong wealthy family. If the royal family and the Shandong wealthy family join forces to oppose it, King Yang Tong of Yue refuses to give the order. The efforts of Wei Yunqi and Yuan Wendu and others will be in vain. But the key is that Wei Yunqi has made threatening hints, and Yuan Wendu, Dugu Sheng and others support him. In this case, if Dongdu loses, King Yang Tong of Yue, Yang Gongren and others will definitely bear all the responsibility.

Yang Gongren remained silent, and Yang Hao followed closely and closed his mouth, but the two of them were always paying attention to Cui Xie, and their eyes fell on Cui Xie's face intentionally or unintentionally. The royal family must make the last statement on this matter, and judging from the current situation, if they want to save Yang Wang, they must place their hopes on Cui Xie and the firm opposition of Shandong people. Only by forming two opinions on "positive and negative" can the royal family take the initiative and snatch Yang Wang from the guillotine.

Gao Xiaoji, the Minister of Personnel, remained silent. Zong Zhengqing Cui Junchuo said nothing. Weiweiqing Zhang Quan closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep. It was obvious that the three old ministers from Shandong clearly supported Cui Xi at critical moments. As long as Cui Xi had an attitude, they were their attitude. In the struggle between the people of Guanlong and Shandong, this was a precious tacit understanding, regardless of right or wrong, only about gains and losses.

"I objected, and the Censor's suggestion would not only not help to defend the Dongdu, but would further deteriorate the situation and trap the Dongdu in a desperate situation." Sure enough, Cui Zi's attitude was clear-cut. Anyone who insisted on the Guanlong people was opposed by Shandong people. As for the reasons, as long as they were not lacking in wisdom, they would have thousands of reasons and could get it at will.

Cui Zi firmly opposed it, from the law to the hearts of the people, he refuted it one by one, and took out a completely opposite view from Wei Yunqi. He even publicly threatened Wei Yunqi, Yuan Wendu and others, "You killed Pei Hongce and Yang Wang today, which is equivalent to forcing all the officials and garrison soldiers of the East Capital to a desperate situation where they have no way out. When they could not resist Yang Xuangan's attack and could not protect Dongdu, but had no way out, they would surrender except to die in battle. And they chose to surrender, so a group of officials and troops were handed over to Yang Xuangan by you. What should we do to defend Dongdu? So here I warn you that if you kill Pei Hongce and Yang Wang, most of the officials and troops of the East Capital began to surrender one after another, and Dongdu was lost, the responsibility was yours, and you must bear all the crimes for it.

"It's nonsense." Wei Yunqi was furious and immediately refuted, and Yuan Wendu and others also spoke to help.

Gao Xiaoji, Cui Junchuo, and Zhang Quan suddenly became energetic. Don’t look at these old guys who are usually old and weak. Once they enter the "state", they will change immediately. They are old and stronger, energetic and morale are like rainbows. Those who are invincible and invincible.

This thing cannot lead to results, practice can lead to true knowledge. Only after implementation can you know right or wrong. But the problem is that Dongdu is facing life and death now, and there is no time to verify right or wrong. Once the wrong decision is implemented and the opposite result is obtained, Dongdu will be finished and there will be no chance to correct and correct errors.

Killing makes sense, but the result may be wrong, and not killing makes sense, but the result may also be wrong, so neither side can convince each other. So Yang Gongren stood up and acted as a peacemaker. In the face of crisis, time is precious. You cannot argue in such meaningless ways. You must make a decision that both sides can accept as soon as possible.

Yang Gongren's suggestion was that, strictly follow the law, the death penalty of Pei Hongce and Yang Wang could be sentenced to public and made public to warn others, but it could not be executed and they could not be killed immediately, because according to the law, it must be reviewed by the central government, and the sage master must issue an edict, and then the head could be beheaded on the prescribed date of execution. If they were killed without authorization under the excuse of extraordinary times or military promotion (wartime system), where was the authority and dignity of the sage master and the central government?

Wei Yunqi's target was Pei family in Hedong, Pei Hongce. For Shandong people and Jiangzuo people, Pei Hongce was a Guanlong people with a strong roots. Unlike Pei Shiju and Pei Yun, one of them was an old minister in Gaoqi, Shandong, and the other was an old minister in Jiangzuo. The political power of these two people had many overlapping places with Shandong and Jiangzuo, so Shandong people and Jiangzuo people must protect Pei Shiju and Pei Yun, but they can abandon Pei Hongce. Pei Hongce was not within their protection scope. On the contrary, they were happy to see the Guanlong people kill each other. Of course, if Pei Hongce died, it would still have a certain blow to the Pei family in Hedong, but this blow was obviously not within the considerations of Shandong people and Jiangzuo people.

After a fierce debate, the people of Guanlong and Shandong made a concession and began to "bargain" around Yang Gongren's suggestion.

Wei Yunqi made up his mind to kill Pei Hongce, and Cui Ze intended to protect Yang Wang, so the end result was to kill Pei Hongce immediately, and Yang Wang "escape" by chance. As for Da Xi Shanyi, he did not even mention it, and was directly "ignored" by the big guys.

However, at the last moment, King Yang Tong of Yue suddenly became angry at the suggestion of King Yang Hao of Qin, and changed his past elegance and cowardice. He cried and shouted like a fool, scolded and shouted, and made trouble, and refused to issue a killing order.

Fan Zigai is "a disaster is coming".

Since the royal family and Shandong people wanted to protect King Yang Tong of Yue, they of course had to cooperate with the Guanlong people to put pressure on them and force Fan Zigai to order the execution of Pei Hongce in the name of the Dongdu left behind.

This is completely illegal, and it is simply a trampling on the rituals and laws. This seriously damages the authority and dignity of the law, and is a heavy blow to the authority of the Holy Lord and the Central Government. The bad consequences it brings will not only directly affect the Dongdu crisis today, but also affect the political situation of the two capitals in the future. However, King Yang Tong of Yue, Yang Gongren and Cui Jie were forced by the situation. Even if they knew that Wei Yunqi was sinister, even if they knew that the local conservative forces in Guanlong, led by the Wei family in Guanzhong, were at a loss to destroy the Dongdu, and had no choice but to compromise and compromise.
