At this time, Wei Cen stood up and said loudly: "Officials, since the Song Dynasty intends to cease war and negotiate peace, this is a matter of life and death for the Tang Dynasty. We must not take it lightly. If Su Chen can be used to exchange for the safety of the Tang Dynasty, I feel very

A good deal.”

Chen Jue also stood up and said: "Master Wei is right. At present, the two fronts of the war are all facing a collapse stage. As time goes by, in a few months, it is very likely that both fronts will be defeated, and the Song army will be defeated.

Under Jinling City. When the time comes, our entire Tang Kingdom will be in danger. If one Su Chen can be used to exchange for the safety of the Tang Kingdom, this will be his merit and the contribution he should make to the court as a minister."

"I support what Mr. Wei said!"

"I second the proposal!"

Some ministers have come forward to support the views of Wei Cen and Chen Jue. Using Su Chen in exchange for the safety of the Tang State, they can cease the war and negotiate a peace, and save the Tang State and the imperial court, which will also save their safety and official positions. Therefore, most officials support this

From my point of view, I think it’s a great deal.

Especially the people from the Song Party, who were always grudges against Su Chen. Because of Su Chen's existence, the Korean Party rose up and returned to the center of power, overwhelming them.

The people and officials of the Song Party had already held their breath. At this time, the Song State proposed a peace negotiation in exchange for Su Chen, which gave the officials of the Song Party an excuse to vent. They all supported this decision.

And because it stands on the side of righteousness, it has a strong momentum.

At this time, Han Xizai walked out of the shift, with an anxious look on his face, even a little angry, and said: "Guan family, this must not be done. This is obviously the envoy of the Song Dynasty's strategy, to alienate the relationship between Su Chen and the court.

We are caught in an internal fight, and his intentions are to be punished, so we must not fall into this treacherous plot."

Xu Xuan also stood up and expressed his position: "What Mr. Han said is very reasonable. We have all witnessed Su Chen's talent. This man can withstand tens of thousands of troops, whether it is his influence in poetry, or his medical skills and ability to observe objects.

, and his business skills are second to none.

With so many talents gathered in one person, his ability is too outstanding. We must not hand over this person to the Song State voluntarily, otherwise the Song State will become stronger and stronger day by day, and our Tang State will completely decline.

The gap will become wider and wider, which will only accelerate the demise of the Tang State."

Gao Yue stood up and said: "Master Han and Master Xu, what they said makes sense. Su Chen is too important to our Tang country. If he is here, we still have a chance to make a comeback. As long as the Song army cannot break through the two lines of defense,

, will inevitably recede soon, and then we will return to

Reinforce yourself and recuperate. According to Su Chen's plan, our Tang State will surely prosper in a few years. We will not be afraid of the pressure from the Song State and will gradually narrow the gap. Therefore, Su Chen is very important and cannot be handed over easily, otherwise the people of the world will

How do you view our country, Tang?"

Feng Yanlu stood up and said: "This is ridiculous. No matter how talented Su Chen is, will the Tang Dynasty be destroyed without him? We can't really regard him as a figure like a crouching dragon and a phoenix, let alone whether he has that level of effectiveness.

What is the role of peace? If we continue to fight and negotiate for peace now, our army will be defeated at any time. When the Song army arrives at Jinling City, how will we break the siege?"

"If we don't send Su Chen out, the country will be destroyed at any time. There will be no development in the future. I advise you to think carefully. We can no longer hold on and there is no time to give Su Chen a chance to develop in the future. How to deal with the current situation?

Urgent urgency is the key.”

Wei Cen echoed: "Everything Master Feng said makes sense. We all know that Jiangzuo Sulang is talented, but we should not blindly exaggerate his talent. Moreover, this talent must be given sufficient support in a stable national environment."

Time can only be achieved by unfolding step by step. But now the Song Dynasty will not give us this time. Whether to perish or surrender, we have to choose between these two options. I hope everyone can proceed from reality."

Chen Jue said: "According to the spies' reports, the food and grass in the entire Runzhou City can last for four months, and the number of troops is less than 30,000. Facing the siege of a hundred thousand troops outside the city, it is hard to say how long it can last. Runzhou City will be destroyed at any time.

Instead of waiting for the city to be broken, Su Chen was captured

We have no bargaining chips to bring back the Song Dynasty, so we might as well take the initiative to hand over Su City now in exchange for the Tang Dynasty to have a chance to breathe. In this way, the Tang Dynasty court and ministers will have a future, otherwise the country will not be a country and its destruction is imminent.

That’s the most important thing.”

Li Yu listened to the ministers debating with each other, each speaking his own truth. As a bystander, he felt that both the Song Party and the Korean Party were right.

However, what makes sense may not necessarily apply. Whichever one best suits the current choice is the most important. He saw that people from the New Party, such as Pan You and Li Ping, remained silent and did not speak.

Li Yu pondered for a moment and understood in his heart that Pan You and others did not want to get involved. Supporting the handover of Su Chen would offend the Sun Party and even the scholars in Jiangnan. If Su Chen was not handed over, it was very likely that the Tang State would really be in danger.

It goes against the interests of the New Party. After all, the people of the New Party are all southerners and represent the local aristocrats and clans in Jiangnan. Once the Tang Dynasty is not protected, their interests will be severely hit and severely damaged.

Therefore, at this time, Pan You and others, considering their own interests, should be more inclined to hand over Su Chen in exchange for time for the Tang Dynasty to survive.

Furthermore, Pan You and Li Ping are also reformists themselves. If the Tang Dynasty can have a truce, then Pan You and others can get a buffer time to continue to implement reforms, and even absorb some of Su Chen's previously proposed reform and business plans to comprehensively integrate them.

Arrangement may make the Southern Tang Dynasty prosperous and strong again, and learn from the lessons of this defeat, and make better arrangements for city defense along the Yangtze River and other defense lines in the future.

Therefore, Pan You, Li Ping and others remained neutral for the time being, but in their hearts they were more inclined to hand over Su Chen.

They hope that the blame for offending people and the people of Jiangnan will be borne by the Song Party, while the losses will be borne by the Sun Party. After all, if the Sun Party loses Su Chen, there will be a crack in the royal family and it will gradually decline. Then the New Party

Then it can absorb the interests of the other two parties and take the opportunity to rise and become bigger.

This is the reason why the New Party and others did not make direct remarks.

They wanted the Song Party and the Sun Party to fight fiercely and lose both sides, so that the New Party could become the dominant party, then display its political ambitions, carry out reforms, realize their personal political ideas, and revitalize the Tang Dynasty.

Li Yu felt that it would be difficult to reach a conclusion if the argument continued like this, so he announced that he would withdraw and discuss it another day.

He wanted to return to Chengxintang, meet with important ministers from the three parties in turn, find out the thoughts of all ministers and parties, make a comprehensive and comprehensive evaluation, and do what is most beneficial to the royal family.
