Signing in to Datang: Rebellion at the beginning

Chapter 105
After being silent for a while, Li Er couldn't help sighing, and said with self-blame:

"If I had known today, I would not have taken the initiative to attack the Dragon Kingdom, but now it seems that it was an unwise decision.

If they hadn't attacked the Dragon Kingdom in the first place, the Dragon Kingdom might not have come to fight so aggressively.All of this is my fault! "

As he spoke, he clutched his chest, blaming himself extremely.

This is his usual trick, and he blames himself for selling miserably.Admit your mistakes at critical moments to gain the favor of ministers.

But no matter how much he put on a show now, these ministers really can't think of a way to face this matter.

After a long time, Du Ruhui stood up and said:
"Your Majesty, at this point, I'm afraid there is only one way for us to go."

Li Er immediately looked at Du Ruhui, he knew that at many critical moments, Du Ruhui would have unexpected ideas.

It seems that this time is not unexpected, so I look forward to what Du Ruhui will say next.

Who knows, Du Ruhui was silent for a while before speaking:

"Your Majesty thinks that since His Majesty knows that His Majesty provoked the incident this time, it is better for His Majesty to propose peace. Negotiating a peace is the only way at present, otherwise, our country of Tang may really be destroyed by Under Li Ke's iron hoof."

Li Shimin was stunned.

Negotiate...

He took the initiative to attack the Dragon Kingdom. He always regarded the Dragon Kingdom as his enemy and always wanted Li Ke to die.

But now, after being slapped in the face repeatedly, are you actually going to negotiate a peace?
In this way, to preserve his throne and Tang country?

To be honest, he can't do it.

Because negotiating peace means that he has to admit his mistakes to Li Ke, apologize to Li Ke, and ask Li Ke for forgiveness.

He can't do it, he can admit his mistake in front of the ministers, because it's a show, but he absolutely can't do it, admit his mistake in front of Li Ke.

Because that would be a real admission of his mistake.

This is hard for him to accept, he doesn't want to bow to Li Ke.

In the hall, it fell into silence again, and no one took the initiative to speak again.

Because the peace talks that Du Ruhui said were the only way.

Then you just need to leave it to the emperor to make his own decision!
Li Er also did not speak for a long time.

In his heart, he couldn't convince himself to give in to Li Ke.

He has also apologized to Li Ke before, but his attitude is still in a very high position.

At the beginning, it was for Li Ke to hand over the Dragon Kingdom to him, but if he didn't apologize now, he might lose his own Tang Kingdom.

While he was hesitating, another herald ran in from outside.

The herald rushed in and knelt on the ground, and immediately shouted:
"Your Majesty, a few more cities have been lost on the front line. Li Ke's army is aggressive and marching all the way west, almost occupying one-third of the land of our Tang Kingdom.

Wherever it passed, no defenders of any city could resist it.Judging from this, I am afraid that it will only take a few days to enter the Guannei Road and go straight to Chang'an..."

Li Er's face was pale, and his hands trembled a little.

The ministers below hurriedly said in unison:

"Your Majesty, please make a decision early."

After the ministers finished speaking, Du Ruhui spoke again:

"Your Majesty, as soon as possible, if the peace was negotiated one day earlier and the two sides reached a settlement, we would lose a dozen cities less.

If one day later, let the Dragon Kingdom occupy some cities, even if they negotiate peace at that time, they may not return them, Your Majesty. "

Seeing that the ministers said so, Li Er knew that it would be useless for him to be stubborn.
So he said helplessly:
"Forget it, forget it, I admit my mistake, and I negotiate a peace. You can handle these things for me, as soon as possible, as soon as possible."

As he said that, he turned around hard and walked towards the Hall of Mental Cultivation. While walking, he suddenly staggered and almost fell to the ground.

The next moment, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and the whole person became haggard in an instant.

He really regrets what he has done.

If it hadn't been for his wholeheartedly favoring the prince and driving Li Ke to a dead end, Li Ke would not have run for his life all the way to create the Dragon Kingdom.

If it wasn't for his method to get Li Ke's Dragon Kingdom, he wouldn't have angered Li Ke.

If it hadn't been for his active provocation to attack the Dragon Kingdom this time, even if Li Ke wanted to attack the Tang Kingdom, it would not be so fast, nor would the Tang Kingdom lose so badly.

All of this, he figured it out.

He also admitted his mistakes.

But it seems to be a lot too late.

Standing up staggeringly, after returning to the bedroom, he lay down directly on the bed...

Li Ke's army went all the way to the west, and it was almost about to take down half of the Tang Dynasty. At this time, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty came.

In Hedong Road, in a city, Li Ke asked Tang envoys to bring him in.

This time the envoy of the Tang State was Du Ruhui, and Du Ruhui was Li Er's right-hand man.

He often decides some things for Li Er, including this peace negotiation, which is also decided by him.

So let him talk to Li Ke in person!
Li Ke sat in the upper seat, and when he saw Du Ruhui coming in, he said blankly:

"The Tang Kingdom is sending envoys at this time. I am very curious. What do you want to talk about?"

Du Ruhui saluted first, then said politely:

"The ministers have met His Majesty the Dragon Kingdom. This time, I, the King of Tang, sent me here to discuss the matter of Zhige and discuss peace!"

Hearing this, Li Ke smiled.
