Chapter 394 Different choices
Zhao's Gou remained motionless in the fief, and the Great Zhou court could only fight against Xie's on its own.
But the problem is that in the past year, the Xie family has taken down all the prefectures and counties around the capital that bordered the Xie family. The Great Zhou court now only has the capital and three counties in the southwest of the capital.
Those three counties had low walls and thin gates. Although the Great Zhou court did not make a clear statement, what they showed in their actions was that they had completely abandoned those three counties.
Without the taxes provided by the states and counties, such a great Zhou court has been reduced to a miserable situation where they can only rely on their old books.
In this case, whether it is the queen mother's party or the royal family, these people are actually very clear that the Great Zhou court has come to an end.
They didn't expect their side to win the fight at all. The only thing they struggled with now was whether to stick to it, surrender, or escape.
The Queen Mother’s party tends to defend to the death first, and then run away if they can’t hold it. They must not let the Xie’s rebels easily get the capital.
If necessary, they can even sacrifice the people in the city and threaten the Xie family to retreat.
Anyway, they have no future, and fame is no longer important to them, but the Xie family is different. If they want this world, they have to worry about the public opinion and the popular will.
Of course, they didn't tell too many people about their plans for the second half.
After all, many of their soldiers were from the capital. If they said so, they would probably defend the city desperately.
Contrary to the Taiqian party, these little Zhu Yingcui's royal family members are more inclined to surrender directly.
Our point of view is that since Xie Yuan is the oldest and has won eight-sevenths of that day, the remaining one-seventh will fall into Zhu Ying's hands sooner or later at the earliest.
When we are trapped outside the capital, it will be like being thrown under a quite prosperous desert island.
Is there any material to support us, can we still take all the houses in the capital to grow grain and vegetables, raise pigs and chickens?
At that time, even if Xie Yuan is only besieging or attacking, it would be good if we also fished.
Instead of this, we still give up at the moment in front of us and continue to fight.
We suspect that as long as we are willing to leave the city and surrender, Xie Yuan will definitely treat our royal family members of the later dynasty well for the sake of reputation.
At that time, even if we are the royal family, we will continue to be offered food and drink. Is such a day weaker than fighting to the death, and then being killed or captured?
At that time, the family members of Xiao Zhou's royal family, who were severely suppressed and deliberately raised and disabled, fully demonstrated the audacity and small ambitions that Taiqian's party wanted, but Taiqian did not give birth to even the slightest pride because of it. Feelings.
You have tried your best to make those stupid things look like they just want to have fun and want to retreat. The reason is to make us want to covet this chair, but it is to make us show it to the enemy inside. Such a cartilage is a look of fighting spirit.
But your double standard obviously has no possibility of realization.
These royal family members are plasticine again, you can give us a new look in a while.
The oldest and stereotyped personality can be changed so easily, and in the end we are still in a way that we never thought of before, and it becomes a stumbling block in your decision-making path.
On Xie Yuan's provocation, those royal family members, for the sake of their own lives and wealth, rarely mustered up the courage to confront the former party.
Although there are few of us who hold real power, we have enough status to hold on to each other, and we don’t have any of the life-saving things that the emperors of Xiao Zhou once bestowed on our ancestors.
Those things are brought out, even though the Taiqian Party is now in control, we still have to give those little Zhou emperors some face.
The two groups of people started a protracted tug-of-war between the two options of defending and surrendering. The more we quarreled, the deeper the gap between us became, and the more Ye Anlan and Li Jing's wishes were fulfilled.
At that time, we still knew that the best time for us to surrender was not the next few months when the Xie family was busy gathering the Northwest Territory. At this time, we had to wait to make a decision, and we would never have the opportunity to make a decision before.
When Xie's soldiers approached the city, a group of royal family members finally couldn't bear the thought of escaping.
You brought out the great emperor who was written on your name and pushed down from the throne by you as a son-in-law for display, and then mobilized the Eighth Army in person as the former emperor and the emperor, and called on us to defend the capital and resist the traitor Zhu Ying , to protect Xiao Zhou's orthodoxy.
Although the great emperor hadn’t sat on the throne when he was very young, my imperial concubine of the Zhou dynasty didn’t let anyone seriously teach me the art of being an emperor.
I know everything, and what I study every day is governing the country. When I was young, the only thing I learned was to listen to my aunt.
I will listen to what the Taiqian says, do what the Taiqian asks me to do, and resolutely do what the Taiqian asks me to do. That is not my way of survival.
It is the same on the eyes, although these relatives of mine asked me to back down only once, but I have always stood in the same camp as the Queen Mother.
It’s because I think Tai Qian’s approach is correct. I’m simply afraid of Tai Qian and dare to sing against Tai Qian.
Because of that, how many of these royal family members secretly called me a useless emperor, they have completely embarrassed the previous emperors of the Xiao Zhou Dynasty, but none of us have thought about it, why is the emperor so afraid of me? The first wife of the Zhou court.
What have I experienced, why is there no such slight psychological shadow, those people are all concerned and interested, we only remember that it is me sitting under the dragon chair, it is mine when we need the emperor Empress Zhu Yingcui.
Before being approved by the great emperor, those people had other hopes, so they could only secretly finish planning to escape to save their lives.
Of course, there are those who are timid, because they are willing to give up the wealth, and those people even got together and conspired to open the city gate privately.
It's a pity that we conspired and conspired, but the conspiracy was never able to be implemented.
First of all, none of us want to be the first bird, to bear the thunder and anger from the previous emperor in case the action is the oldest.
In the past seven years, regarding whether we have negotiated with Mrs. Xie lately, none of us can guarantee that if we open the city gate privately, Mrs. Xie will definitely fulfill our wish and accept our affection.
The risk is far less than the benefit, those people must be firm.
Firmness comes and goes, and the final result of firmness is the oldest. We completely missed the best time to act on the city gate.
At the end of the day, the only way we can change the miserable fate we have foreseen for ourselves is to escape.
