Lu Chen shrugged disapprovingly and said, "How else can we build a capital? Of course, we have to drive these people away and then build a capital."
After hearing this, everyone was speechless. They felt that they and Lu Chen were not on the same brain wave frequency band.
Fight them off? Are you kidding me? It's the Liao and Jin armies that are at the gates of our city, not us who are fighting them. Are you crazy?
Even Li Zhuo covered his head, he also thought Lu Chen was crazy.
At this time, a childish but resolute voice appeared in the hall and said, "Teacher, what you mean is that if we don't leave, we will stay in the capital and defend it to the death. From now on, our Great Qi will not retreat. From now on, our Great Qi royal family and the country will live and die together. The emperor will guard the national border, and the king will die for the country!"
Everyone was startled when they heard this and quickly turned to look in the direction of the voice.
Li Xiang, who was only eight years old, was wearing his royal robes and standing upright at the door of the hall.
Seeing everyone looking over, Li Xiang walked into the hall with confidence and came before Li Zhuo and said, "Father, my lords, if you want to withdraw, then do so. But I beg you to authorize me to stay in the capital and defend it to the death!"
"Father, this is the Li family's century-old foundation. There's the imperial mausoleum outside. We can't retreat! If you want to retreat, then I'll stay. Even if it means death, we have to give an explanation to our ancestors!"
Everyone looked at Li Xiang in shock. Who could have imagined that when all the civil and military officials in the court and the emperor were in a panic and thinking about how to escape, the eight-year-old prince in front of them said that he would stay here and defend to the death!
The words "The emperor guards the national border and the king dies for the country" made countless officials, scholars and military generals present ashamed.
All these adults combined are not as good as a child!
Li Zhuo looked at the young man in front of him with a look of horror. He stammered for a long time before speaking tremblingly, "My prince, are you serious?"
Li Xiang nodded and said, "Well, I've made up my mind. If the capital can't be defended, I'll lure those Liao and Jin thieves in, then detonate all the explosives deployed in the capital. I'll destroy them all together!"
Li Xiang said the four words "burn together with the good and the bad" in an especially powerful way!
Upon hearing this, Cui Shanzhan, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly roared, "Great! This is the blood of the men of Great Qi, this is the dignity of the Great Qi royal family! Your words are very good, little prince. I will not leave either. I will perish with those bastards!"
Wei Yong also stood up excitedly and said, "You are not even as good as a child. I am ashamed to be with you! I will stay here too. This old man can definitely withstand two or three blows from the enemy!"
"Your Majesty, I am willing to stay!"
"Your Majesty, I beg to fight to the death!"
"Your Majesty, please take good care of my family. I will fight them!"
As more and more people stood up, the shock on Li Zhuo's face gradually intensified.
He looked at these people in disbelief, as if he was meeting them for the first time.
As more and more people stood up, Li Zhuo felt a fire burning in his heart.
At this time, Lu Chen also stood up and bowed to Li Zhuo, saying, "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, a name without right words cannot prevail. I earnestly request Your Majesty to appoint Li Xiang as the Crown Prince!"
