Although Zong Ze is already 65 years old, he is still very strong and speaks with full energy.
"General Zong Lao's words are a blessing. If Wanyan Zongwang is coming, then we will fight. We will keep fighting until we win or die."
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Zhao Huan slammed the table hard to stop the noisy court officials.
Zhao Huan gave Shao Chengzhang a wink for the second time, and Shao Chengzhang took the order and left.
The rumbling sound came from far away, and two strong men pushed a cannon more than two meters long to the center of the Daqing Hall.
Zhao Huan walked down from the platform and pointed at the cannon and asked the civil and military officials: "Everyone, what are the cannons used for?"
"Let me tell you, cannons are used to make sense. In the relations between nations, military strength is always the foundation for upholding the truth. In the relations between two countries, the military is the true backing of diplomacy. Dignity lies only on the edge of the sword, and truth is only within the range of the cannon."
"If the country is humiliated and invaded by foreign enemies, then I will be the general."
I am Zhao Huan, and I represent the Song Dynasty.
Zhao Huan's words were sonorous and powerful. He then turned the cannon and fired at the unique rockery outside the Daqing Hall.
“Boom!”
The rockery was blown to pieces by a cannonball.
Zhao Huan ignored the pale faces of the frightened officials, walked straight up to the platform, sat upright on the dragon throne, and signaled Shao Chengzhang with his eyes for the third time.
Shao Chengzhang took out a thick stack of A4-sized papers from the podium and handed them to the officials one by one.
"I hope everyone understands what I just said. If you have no objections, please sign and seal it."
The officials took the paper handed over by Shao Chengzhang and looked at it, only to see four lines of words written on it.
I promise:
During my tenure as an official of the Song Dynasty, I resolutely implemented the new national policy of "no cession of territory, no compensation, no peace talks, no tribute, the emperor guards the national border, the king dies for the country. There are only Song dynasties that died in battle, not Song dynasties that surrendered."
Now that facts have proven that I have violated the above promise, I am willing to have my property confiscated and my family exterminated.
Promiser: XXXXX Position: XXXXX
Confiscating property and exterminating the entire family is so cruel!
"Your Majesty, this..."
Before he could finish his words, he was rudely interrupted by Zhao Huan.
"Those who are unwilling to sign should resign voluntarily. At least they won't die. However, if more than ten people are unwilling to sign, it proves that I, Zhao Huan, am unpopular, and I am willing to give up the throne."
"Shao'er, collect them all and send them to Funing Hall. And this cannon, push it to the door, not in the middle of the hall, or it'll scare people. Oh, and don't forget to point the cannon at the throne."
Nine out of ten officials have the same idea.
The new emperor is a madman who doesn't follow the rules!
