Vol 4 Chapter 2803: Admonish the king before returning to the city

Everyone's expressions changed, and He Lanlu widened his eyes: "What? Minmin let you out? Where did she get this authority? I thought Han Xiang let you out."
Murong Lan smiled slightly and looked at Murong Chao: "That's not because of the flying horse token that your majesty gave to the national teacher. For some reason, this token came to Mrs. Helan's hand, and she also held this order. The card was released for me. However, when I was released, she said that the only one in the city that can stabilize people's hearts and stabilize the situation is me. I want me to go out and order the Xianbei soldiers and civilians in the city to prepare for defense."
Murong Chao's brows wrinkled slightly, and he turned to haha: "It's no problem. At that time, indeed, only the aunt can calm people's hearts. You did a good job!"
Muronglan hooked her mouth: "Your Majesty, this is just a temporary expedient. Although you and I are nephews and monarchs and ministers, I will not do this arrogant thing. Moreover, as Liu Yu's wife, Everyone knows this. I came to power at this time for fear of dissatisfaction. Mrs. Helan only thought that I was respected in the country of Yan, but did not consider this. I think her behavior is improper. If I were to convene the old ministry at that time and take power in the city, I am afraid it would not be a blessing for Dayan."
Murong Chao laughed, "My aunt is still thoughtful. So, is the city still waiting for me to go back?"
Muronglan nodded: "You are the emperor of Dayan and the backbone of all Xianbei people. Of course everyone is waiting for you, and I am just a clan princess. I can help you calm down for a while, but I can't replace you. Order the world, A Chao, you must understand your importance, and don't let the soldiers and the people down."
Murong Chao nodded excitedly and said, "I must remember the teachings of my aunt. Now, let's be together..."
Murong Lan shook her head: "Please don't worry, I still have something to say. The reason why I am waiting here is not only to stop the enemy who may come, but more importantly, to welcome you, A Chao. It’s inconvenient to talk about it after returning to the city. You must be admonished here. Emperor Dayan Murongchao, please listen to me."
Murong Chao solemnly said: "I listen to Princess Lan with all my respect. If you are right, I will do it after I return to the city."
Muronglan nodded: "This war with Jin is a war that shouldn't happen at all. In my opinion, it was triggered entirely by the ambition of the black robe. Yan’s national fate was a bet, and he brazenly launched a predatory war against the Eastern Jin Dynasty. This not only did not scare Liu Yu, but gave him an excuse to go to war. The facts also proved this. Most of our elite soldiers were sent to Linqu. It is so difficult to guard Guanggu now. Your Majesty must reflect on this point and give all the people an explanation!"
Murongchao sighed: "Auntie, let me tell you the truth. Even if what you say is reasonable, I can't admit my mistakes and apologize to everyone. This involves the prestige of an emperor. Moreover, this is the end, is it useful to apologize? Can I apologize and let the dead soldiers come back to life? Can I admit my mistakes and let Liu Yu stop attacking and stop the war?"
Murong Lan raised her eyebrows: "Of course it is impossible to apologize for the dead to come back to life, but it may prevent more people from dying. If Liu Yuneng makes peace with the first emperor, he can discuss peace with us again. It all depends on our practices and sincerity. ."
Murongchao's eyes lit up: "Auntie is planning to rely on your husband and wife relationship with Liu Yu to beg him to stop the war?"
Murong Lan shook his head: "No, this is a national matter, not the personal relationship of children. Liu Yu is a country governing, a general, and it is impossible for him to decide a peace because of his relationship with me. This time he sent troops. It’s not that you imagined an early war attempt. It’s just an excuse. It’s because we broke our contract first and took the initiative to attack other states and counties, killing other officials, and plundering other people. We Xianbei have been fighting and killing on the grasslands all day, thinking that This kind of looting of the population is justified, but I don’t know that it is a serious crime in the Central Plains. Liu Yu has been in the army all his life to defend the country and the people. If even his own people cannot be protected, what kind of face will remain in the world? So whether it is for his prestige or ideals, or to preserve the existing power, he has only to send troops to fight. This truth, I have repeatedly emphasized to you in the court, but you do not believe it at all."
Murong Chao frowned: "I still don't believe that there will be people in this world who don't want power and only speak morality. Liu Yu can achieve the status of dominance of the Eastern Jin Dynasty today. Presumably, it is impossible to be so innocent. However, what my aunt said is still reasonable. Yes, after all, you and his husband and wife should know him best for many years. I did not listen to you and wanted to go south. It was really a bit hasty. Maybe I underestimated Liu Yu's strength. If I apologize for Liu Yu. Yu stopped and retreated. I can apologize ten thousand times."
Murong Lan smiled slightly: "Now it's like this. UU reading www.uukanshu.com has killed so many people. Verbal apologies are useless. It depends on actual actions. We tore up the peace treaty and attacked Jiangbei. This thing is no longer possible. To save it, Liu Yu retaliated, defeated my army, killed my soldiers, and seized my territory. It was regarded as a reward for this matter. However, now in our hands, there are still more than 2,000 people who were taken abducted last time. When these people put it back, it is regarded as showing a minimum sincerity in the peace talks, and it is regarded as a real apology."
Murongchao gritted his teeth: "What kind of apology is this? I have killed a hundred thousand soldiers and have to pay him more than two thousand people? Then, is he going to pay me the lives of one hundred thousand soldiers?"
Murong Lan shook her head: "If your Majesty thinks this way, then peace talks will be impossible. Now we are in a big defeat, and we ask Liu Yu to be merciful, at least not to continue attacking Guanggu, instead of bargaining with him on an equal footing. Both of these. Thousands of people stayed with us and let them learn rituals and music. That was the national shame of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and Liu Yu's excuse for raising troops. Now these people are useless to stay with us. If the big Yan is gone, then these rituals and music will be gone. What's the use?"
Murong Chao was silent for a long time before he sighed: "Actually, I don't care about these people very much, but they will be used as a mark of our victory in the last troop dispatch. I just return them like this. I am really unwilling. How about exchanging prisoners with Liu Yu?"
Murong Lan sneered: "Achao, I'm afraid that if you do your own way, all of us will become captives of others. You said this is a testimony of the last victory. Where is the lord who led the army last time, Gongsun? He is dead, so what else is there to witness? What's more, these captives are now no more than two thousand, half killed, and now there are more than a thousand people left. If it were not for me to take action, I am afraid that more than a thousand people will not be left. La."
