Listening to what he said, some courtiers looked at Chen Chao in front of them suspiciously, wondering whether the young guardian envoy also knew that the northern border could not be defended at this moment, and that moving the capital was the best option?

So some courtiers began to silently walk towards Chen Chao and chose their positions.

Soon, his left and right sides were filled with people. Obviously, there were far fewer people on the left than on the right.

Probably one to three.

Chen Chao looked at the courtiers standing on his right and asked, "Do you want to change your mind?"

After he asked this question, the courtiers here just looked at Chen Chao and said nothing.

Chen Chao did not talk nonsense, but looked at His Royal Highness in front of him and said: "Your Highness, please temporarily relieve them of their official positions."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall immediately exploded, and the quarrels of the courtiers resounded again in the originally quiet hall.

However, these quarrels now only target Chen Chao.

The scene became very noisy.

Wang Shilang from the Ministry of Personnel pointed at Chen Chao's nose and said, "Lord Guardsman, I thought you were trying to make some sense, but are you still so arrogant? You know the situation in the north better than us at the moment. Can you hold it? No.

If we move the capital, once this monster clan goes south, our country, Daliang, will immediately be in danger of subjugation. We are not greedy for life and afraid of death, but just for the sake of the country, for the world, and for the people of the world!"

Chen Chao looked at him and said: "For the sake of the people, the people in the three prefectures of Xinliu, Changping and Yingzhou are no longer ordinary people?"

Wang Shilang gritted his teeth and said: "You can move some of them away, but at this moment, some people will have to be sacrificed!"

Chen Chao had no expression on his face, "In the more than two hundred years of the Liang Dynasty, at least five million young people died in the new Liuzhou alone in the north. Why did they keep filling in even though they knew it was a bottomless pit? Is it true?

Don’t want to live? Wrong, they just think that if they die, their son will not have to die. If the son dies, his grandson will not have to die. Now, when the father dies, the son dies, and the grandson dies too.

Is it really reasonable for you to say that some people have to be sacrificed when they are already helpless? They should not receive preferential treatment, they should not be taken care of, and they have to be sacrificed? If you really want to talk about sacrifice, I will do it later.

I will take you to the north and ask you to sacrifice yourself."

Wang Shilang opened his mouth and was speechless.

But soon Zhang Shilang from the Ministry of Rites said: "Even if we don't move the capital, what's the use? Will we definitely win?"

Chen Chao said: "Of course not necessarily."

"Then why not move the capital?! Why must we persist!"

Zhang Shilang sneered: "Is it just for the so-called heroism and integrity?"

Chen Chao looked at him, was silent for a long time, and then said: "Aren't you scholars the most talked about the word integrity?"

"I forgot to tell you something. The dean has died in the battle in the north."

"Everyone can think about why a leader of scholars would die in such a bitter and cold place instead of teaching in the academy and studying knowledge."

Hearing these words, the courtiers in the hall were silent. Many of them had studied in the academy, and naturally they respected the dean very much.

But the dean actually died in the north?

"There are too many reasons for scholars, but I think no one has more reasons than the dean. The dean has chosen this way, so I don't want to argue anymore."

Chen Chao had never mentioned the matter with Mr. Zaifu before, but he knew that these people would definitely find an opportunity to bring it up, so he took a preemptive strike and mentioned the dean. Then any scholar who mentioned it would be in vain.

"No matter what, the capital should be moved."

An old voice sounded, it was Xiao Yi, the newly appointed Minister of Civil Affairs.

He comes from the Xiao family, which is also one of the big families in Shendu.

"Now that the Gufeng Pass has been broken, it is only a matter of time before the northern border is lost. We should go to the south to protect these pillars of the country. Only then can the Liang Dynasty have hope."

"As for the people in the north, they have to be abandoned. Besides, their ancestors have fought for the country for generations, so they can definitely understand the difficulties of the court."

Listening to the words of the Minister of Civil Affairs, Chen Chao did not speak or even showed any expression. He just silently pulled out the knife from his waist and pointed it at Xiao Yi's head.

He is now a big shot in the Fuyun realm, so he doesn't have to do this if he wants to kill someone, but by doing this, he is just showing his attitude.

Xiao Yi was not afraid at all. He looked at Chen Chao and sneered: "Is it possible that the guardian envoy still wants to kill me in public in the court?"

Chen Chao said nothing.

The next moment, with a click, a head rolled to the ground.

Blood splattered everywhere.

The Minister of Civil Affairs died just like that.

The head rolled slowly, and a blood trail slowly extended.

"Don't you know who I killed in the court last time?"

At this time, Chen Chao spoke, his voice was still very light, but the content was very thick.

Last time?

Who doesn't know that the last time the Lord Guardian was not the Lord Guardian, he killed the deposed emperor with a single blow in the court hall.

They are brothers.

But he still died by his sword.

He never seemed to care about family ties.

"I don't know if he is a spy of the demon clan, and I don't know if his motives are private or public. I just want to tell you that we in the Liang Dynasty have never shared the world with the scholar-bureaucrats, but with the common people. Too

The ancestral precepts of Emperor Zugao will not change."

"No one has to give up, and no one has to continue to pay as a matter of course after giving a lot."

Chen Chao took a deep breath and said, "I once said in the North that if the Great Wall of the North is really lost, I will be the first to die, and I still count on it to this day."

"Moving the capital is absolutely not possible. The soldiers are serving their lives at the front, but you have to run away. How can you make the soldiers believe that this battle can be won? For morale, this is absolutely not possible. Also, even if it is not for morale,

I, the Daliang Dynasty, should not give up on any of the people. Daliang is not the Dajin of the previous dynasty, and cannot do those spineless things. This is not only the wish of my official, you can go out and take a look now, and take a look at the people.

What would you choose?"

"I know that you have many different opinions, but until the war is over, you must keep it in my heart!"

"If you can't hold it in anymore, you can bring it up now. I have killed countless demons, but killing people is actually much easier."

…

…

In the wind and snow in the divine capital, countless people spontaneously walked out of their homes and gathered outside the imperial city. They knew that the officials were discussing the matter of moving the capital. The people did not consider whether they could take them with them.

They came here just to tell the officials and His Highness the Crown Prince.

They don't want to leave.

The imperial court also did not want to move its capital.

Although we may not win.

But...we are not afraid of death.

Because compared with death, living in humiliation is more difficult for people to accept.

…

…

It seems that one day more than two hundred years ago, someone planted a seed.

Then that person came to water it every day. After he died, his descendants also came to water it every day.

Finally, more than ten years ago, that seed sprouted and began to grow vigorously.
