He stared at the letter for a long time, not knowing how he should choose.

Making a decision is simple. Just choose one with your eyes closed, but the teacher once taught him that every decision must be cautious because you have to be responsible for your decision.

The teacher once said that the key sign of whether a person is mature is whether he can think seriously and be responsible for the decisions he makes.

What was before him was a dilemma.

The Supreme Emperor forced him to open the Eastern Palace and surrender. Otherwise, the next person sent in would be the bodies of his other younger brothers and sisters, or even his mother. If he did not surrender, he would ignore them in danger and would be unfilial.

It is easy to surrender. As long as he gives orders, he believes that the prime ministers of the Eastern Palace will open the palace gate according to his wishes.

But the consequences of his doing so were very serious. Kaicheng was also unfaithful to the emperor, and it was also a dereliction of duty, and he failed to do the position of being a state-controlled man.

what do I do?

If the teacher is here, he will definitely have a solution to both sides.

He asked someone to call Ke Qing.

"Teacher Ke, you have been following the teacher. You said, if the teacher is here, what kind of advice would he give me?"

"Your Highness, I am just a coach and a guard. I can't guess what advice the Zhao Guild would give to you." Ke Qing said calmly.

Chengqian put the letter away and put it in his close arms in his pocket.

"Teacher Ke, what advice would you give me?"

Ke Qing looked at the prince. The young prince was suffering now and was under pressure far beyond his age.

"Your Highness, I dared to make a suggestion. In fact, your highness has a third choice besides surrendering and defending."

"The third choice?" Cheng Qian asked in surprise.

Ke Qing said slowly, "If you leave here, as long as your highness is willing, you can try to take Your Highness out of the East Palace."

"Escape the way? Then what?"

"As long as your Highness leaves, the situation will be very different."

"What if the Supreme Emperor hurts his mother, younger brother and sister? No, I can't do this."

Ke Qing thought for a while, "Your Highness can leave first, and then let the East Palace open the palace gate. In this way, perhaps the Supreme Emperor will not hurt the Queen and the others."

"Teacher Ke, thank you. Your words finally made me decide. Please help me convey the guards and let them inform the prime ministers, scholars and Privy Councillors to come and discuss matters."

The important officials arrived one by one, and Cheng Qian had no longer hesitated on his face.

He stood in front of the huge map hanging from the wall with his hands behind his back. For a long time, he turned around.

"My ministers, I have made a decision. Now, please support me."

Ma Zhou asked, "Your Highness, no matter what decision you make, I will support you with all my strength."

Cheng Qian returned to his seat and said slowly, "I have decided that I cannot be an unfilial person, and that I cannot put my mother and brothers and sisters in danger. I decided to go out from here and go to Ziwei Palace."

Surrender?

When the central ministers heard the prince’s final decision, they were very complicated.

Some people feel disappointed, but the prince failed to stick to the end. Some people feel relieved, but the prince is pure and kind-hearted.

Ma Zhou didn't know whether he should be disappointed or relieved, but he still kept his previous promise and he would support the prince's decision.

"Your Highness, I respect your highness's choice, and I agree to open the East Palace."

Wei Zheng stood up. "Your Highness, I object to surrender!"

Gao Shilian didn't say anything. The one outside was his niece and the one here was his great nephew.

"Du Xiang, what do you mean?" Wei Zheng asked Du Ruhui.

Du Ruhui coughed a few times. He had not been sick and had worked hard these days, and his health became worse and worse. "Your Highness, I also opposed surrender. If you persist for a few more days, the army of the king will arrive. At that time, the Empress and the princes and princesses will be rescued."

Chengqian shook his head.

"I have decided that I will leave here. However, I did not say that I would open the Eastern Palace to surrender. Everyone, the Supreme Emperor threatened the Empress and the Princes and Princesses. I cannot ignore it, otherwise it would be unfilial. But I cannot open the Eastern Palace just now. That would be disloyal to Your Majesty, irresponsible to the Tang Dynasty, and dereliction of duty to Your Majesty who entrusts the left-behind position."

Everyone was surprised and didn't understand why the prince said this.

"I have decided that I will leave the palace alone later. After I leave, I will leave it to my beloved ministers. In any case, I must stick to the Eastern Palace and not surrender. Gu believes that it will not take long before the Taibao's royal army will arrive. The restoration of the Supreme Emperor is doomed to fail. Gu must protect the center of the court and not to suffer losses."

Ma Zhou couldn't help but shout, "Your Highness!"

"Ma Xiang, everyone, I have decided, and you don't have to persuade me anymore. Now, Ma Xiang, please prepare to draft an edict. Before I leave, I will issue a few edicts as the prince of the state."

"Teacher Ke."

"Here!" Ke Qing stepped forward.

"After a while, the edict was drafted. After the orphan and the ministers signed the seal, you will find a way to take it out of the palace and pass it on. If you promise to the orphan, you will definitely do it."

"I promised your Highness."

"Very good." Chengqian turned his head to Ma Zhou, "Master Ma, please draft an edict."

"The imperial edict was that Li Chao, Duke of Zhao of Jin, was appointed as the Prince of Zhao, and was appointed as the Grand Marshal of the World to fight against rebellion, as well as the governor of Jiangnan, and to serve the kings and horses in all parts of the world, and listen to Li Chao's orders to control the orders!"

"The imperial edict was ordered that Cheng Yaojin, Duke of Lu of Jin, was appointed as the prince of Lu, and appointed the king to defend the king against the enemy, as well as the governor of the Lianghuai Jiedu, and to control the two troops in Huainan and Huainan and Huainan."

"The imperial edict was ordered that Qin Shubao, Duke of Qi of Jin, was appointed as the prince of Qi, and appointed the king to defend the king against the enemy, as well as the governor of Guanlong, to control the two troops and horses in Longyou within Guan."

······

Li Chengqian promulgated an edict, and Ma Zhou wrote a edict.

Li Chao was promoted to the Prince of Zhao, serving the king and rebelling against the emperor, and serving as the Grand Marshal of Jiangnan.

Cheng Yaojin was the Prince of Lu, deputy marshal, and the governor of Lianghuai.

The prince of Qiong and Qi of Qin was appointed as the deputy marshal and the governor of Guanlong.

Qu Tutong joined the prince of Jinba, and was the general who fought against rebellion and the defensive commander of the capital of the Han Dynasty.

Li Jing was the prince of Nan, and was the general who fought against rebellion and the governor of Shannan.

Yuchi Gong was the prince of the Jin and Wei, and was the general of the rebellion against the front and was also the commander of the army in Hebei and Henan.

Li Ji, the prince of the Dong Dynasty, attacked the rebellion of the Left General and served as the governor of Hedong.

The Prince of Jiang, Su Dingfang, was the King of Jin, and was the Right General of the Rebellion and the Military Commander of Shuofang in Suiyuan.

Guo Xiaoke was the prince of Shu in Jin and was the general and the governor of Hexi after he fought against rebellion.

·······

The prince Chengqian conferred the title of Nine Kings in one breath, which was much higher than the title of Kings Li Yuan. One of them was defensive commander and eight military governors. This was not only appointing the official Xu Jue, but also a strict encirclement of the king's rebellion.

Li Chao became the Grand Marshal of the entire King's Rescue Army, with two deputy marshals, two generals, and four generals in front, back, left and right. He completely surrounded Han Jing.

Chengqian granted these nine generals great power in the edict, allowing them to act cheaply.
