The ministers were a little confused when they saw this situation, and they didn't know what the empress dowager meant. They all turned their inquiring eyes to Jiang Wanli, after all, he is now the only prime minister of the Song Dynasty.

But in fact, Jiang Wanli himself was also confused. He didn't know what medicine was sold in the Queen Mother's gourd. However, he was shocked when he saw the eyes of others, but he didn't know what to say.

Empress Dowager Xie seemed very free and easy. After watching the eunuch squat up the show, she smiled and said, "You should sit down. Those who can attend court today are still somewhat easy to the Song Dynasty. No matter what you think in your heart, the Song Dynasty still has this land. Don't deceive yourself. The Song Dynasty is actually over."

When the last sentence was said, everyone felt sad, but they still knelt down according to etiquette and said, "I am guilty!"

Empress Dowager Xie smiled bitterly, "What are you guilty? The Song Dynasty has fallen to this point, and it is not the fault of any person. Everyone is wrong. Forget it, today is not to discuss who is right or who is wrong, and it is not what to say at this time. The Ai family just wanted to tell everyone about the decision. After the great chaos last night, you should understand that the Song Dynasty has reached a point where it is difficult to return. Not to mention the main force of the Tartars, even such a small army that came from unknown places has caused the entire Lin'an to such a chaotic state. If their army arrives, how should we deal with it?"

"The Empress Dowager doesn't have to worry. The imperial edict of the court to support the king has been issued, and a large number of reinforcements will come to serve the king soon. At that time," a minister stood up and said slowly.

Empress Dowager Xie waved his hand gently and interrupted him, "Don't say these words, there is no value. The imperial edict for the king has been issued for almost two months, but who are the reinforcements? One Zhang Shijie, one Wen Tianxiang, and one Zhang Shun came. Are so many officials in the world dead except for these three people?" Today, Empress Dowager Xie spoke slowly, but she was completely gone from the clichés she used to say. She basically said the truth, and what makes people feel most terrible is that she no longer had the grief and anger she had before. Speaking these things is like talking about something that has nothing to do with her.

"Stop the anger of the Queen Mother!" The ministers knelt down again.

Empress Dowager Xie still smiled bitterly and waved her hand, "Get up, today we are only these people left. The Ai family treats you as the last family members of the Song Dynasty, so they speak in their own words. Let's not deceive each other again. Everyone should understand that the Song Dynasty is at its last moment." She paused again and then continued, "I talked with Zhang Shun last night for a long time, and I listened to what he said to me. To be honest, before yesterday I was

I had already decided to surrender to the Tartars. After all, after thinking about it, I only had this trick to preserve some blood for the Zhao Guan family. But after listening to his words, I found that there might be other ways, so I had made up my mind to give up Lin'an and take Your Majesty and Zhang Shun to Shennongjia temporarily to develop. I know that some of you are thinking of taking two princes to the south to set up another door, and I also know that some of you have ambitions to die and are ready to bury the Song Dynasty.

I know that some of you have made other plans, but I will not stop you no matter what. Those who are willing to go with me will be the court of the Song Dynasty. In the future, our monarchy, ministers, and ministers can always support each other in the turmoil, and life and death will be left to God. If you don't want to leave, I don't force it. I just want you to stay and try to save the people in Lin'an City. The lives of millions of people are not trivial. If they all die in Lin'an, it is definitely not for Dayuan.

It's a good thing, but Zhang Shun has opened the city gate at this time, and those who want to leave can leave casually, so those who don't want to leave will depend on their own destiny. As for those who want to go to the south, I won't say much. Let's rest as long as possible. Some things cannot be changed by just saying a word. Since you are fully prepared, it's better to leave now, the farther you go, the better. If we all die, the burden of the Song Dynasty will be placed on you."

"The Empress Dowager must not make a decision so easily. Who can guarantee what Zhang Shun thinks? If he is devoted to being a traitor like Cao Cao, wouldn't the Song Dynasty fall into the mouth of a tiger?"

"Hahaha, fall into the tiger's mouth? Will we have a good ending if we don't follow him?" Empress Dowager Xie had a dismal smile, but her eyes were very sharp. She swept on everyone's face and made them feel palpitations. She couldn't help but lower her head. "Last night, Zhang Shun told the Ai family in person that he didn't want to be Cao Cao, but at this time he had to be Cao Cao, because there must be Cao Cao in the Song Dynasty to have the opportunity to fight back. The Ai family believed in him!"

Jiang Wanli, who had been silent all the time, suddenly widened his eyes, "Empress Dowager, my second brother had communicated with Zhang Shun and got some sharp firearms from him. It is indeed very powerful. At least the Tartars have no weapons that can be compared with him yet. But if such a person has the power, will there be a situation in the future that cannot be lost? The poor mountains and bad waters in Shennongjia are not suitable for being a temporary capital of a country. Not to mention the capital, it is not even considered a matter of being able to do it. If Your Majesty goes there, it is really possible that he will not be able to see the light of day again."

"Old Prime Minister," Empress Dowager Xie showed a warm smile at Jiang Wanli. She also knew that this minister was thinking about burying the Song Dynasty, so she could not be moved without any emotion. "Some words should be said privately. After all, this involves many secrets. Some people are unwilling to leave among the crowd. It is not a good thing to know too much. However, the Ai family also hopes to give everyone a great fortune. If we can gain the trust of the Tartars by betraying our whereabouts, why not do it?"

"Empress Dowager! What do you mean?" Several people had already stood up, and at this time they were unwilling to be the target everyone was targeting, so they naturally wanted to make a statement.

"What the Ai family wants to say has been said. Please go back. The road is at your own feet. You don't have to care about other people's eyes wherever you go. There will be no court meeting from today. Old Master Jiang, please stay. The Ai family has a few more words to say to you."
