"Your Majesty, now is not the time to get angry;" Cui Lin urged: "Sima Yi has already arrived at the entrance of the palace. He will definitely surround the palace. Your Majesty can escape first before they surround the palace."
p>
Wei Zhen still knows something about Sima Yi.
If we don’t escape now, we will wait until the palace is breached.
It was too late for them to escape.
Although Cao Yu was very angry, he also knew that this was a very dangerous time. He listened to Wei Zhen's advice and immediately led a group of guards and ran outside.
Sima Yi is now at the South Gate of the palace. For safety reasons,
Cao Yu and Wei Zhen led a group of guards,
Go straight to the North Palace Gate,
The Imperial Study Room is not too far from the Beigong Gate, and they arrived at the Beigong Gate in about a cup of tea.
"Your Majesty!"
"You can't leave the palace."
As soon as Cao Yu and his party arrived at the Beigong Gate, a general on the city shouted: "The rebels have surrounded the Beigong Gate."
Hiss——
"Why are they so fast?"
Cao Yu asked in panic, and Wei Zhen was also shocked.
It stands to reason that Sima Yi was not that fast, because when Sima Zhao attacked the palace just now, Wei Zhen was at the top of the city, and he also commanded the soldiers and blocked several of Sima Zhao's attacks.
When he saw Sima Yi leading his army to attack, Wei Zhen immediately ran back to the imperial study. Calculating the time, even if Sima Yi ordered to surround the palace as soon as he arrived at the palace gate, he would not have time.
"What should we do now?" Cao Yu asked.
However, Wei Zhen had no idea at this time.
"Hmph!" Cao Yu snorted and angrily scolded Wei Zhen: "You were the one who made me emperor, and now you have put me in danger.
It’s you too.”
"Your Majesty——" Wei Zhen was speechless.
"Go back to the palace!" Cao Yu suddenly became heartbroken and said, "Since I can't get out, I won't go out. I will have a showdown with Cao Rui today."
"Your Majesty!"
Wei Zhen's shout was still a little slow, because when he shouted, Cao Yu had already turned his horse's head and galloped towards the main hall ahead.
In front of Nangong Gate.
Cao Rui, dressed in military uniform and escorted by dozens of cavalry, arrived in front of the Nangong Gate.
At this time, the sky was already slightly bright, and there was no need for a torch to see the Golden Dragon Emperor Flag on the city in the distance.
After more than half a year, Cao Rui once again returned to a place he was familiar with.
The last time I saw this palace was six months ago, when he was in high spirits, leading tens of thousands of troops, and wanted to conquer Jinyang personally.
But once he left, he would almost never come back.
And now, although he is also the emperor of Wei.
Just——
This palace already has a new owner.
"Your Majesty!"
Sima Yi bowed slightly and saluted.
"I love you, no courtesy——" Cao Rui looked towards the city and asked: "Is the emperor still in the palace?"
"Here!" Sima Yi confirmed: "He can't run away. The ministers have ordered people to surround the palace, and not a single bird can fly out of the palace."
"Okay!" Cao Rui nodded.
"Your Majesty, the overall situation has been decided now;" Sima Yi said: "It's better to persuade us to surrender."
There was internal fighting among the royal family, and it was difficult for Sima Yi to attack by force. What's more, this was the palace of the Wei Dynasty, and from the beginning, Cao Rui told him that it would be best if he could not fight, and even if he had to fight, he hoped to do so at the minimum cost. Solve this matter.
At this time, the palace has been surrounded. Even if Cao Yu has three heads and six arms, it is difficult for him to reverse the current situation, so Sima Yi just goes with the flow.
"Yeah!" Cao Rui nodded.
After receiving Cao Rui's permission, Sima Yi immediately ordered people to go to the city to shout.
"Listen, people in the city," a junior high school student came to the city and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty thinks of the family ties and cannot bear to kill. You will go and tell King Yan immediately, open the palace gate and surrender immediately. Your Majesty will pardon King Yan." sin."
This——
"What should I do?"
A small school at the top of the city asked the general beside him nervously. The general also frowned. He thought that if he followed King Yan to the capital, he would be a high-ranking official and well-paid.
But——
Good times don't last long...
"Go and tell His Majesty!" the general ordered.
Now he can't make any decision. Whether to fight or surrender, it's not his turn to make the decision. Even if the city is destroyed and the emperor takes the blame, there is still someone higher up to take the blame.
Half an hour later.
It's already bright.
I shouted for a while, but the palace gate was still closed, the soldiers on the city still bent their bows and arrows, and the situation was still very critical.
However, Cao Rui and others are not in a hurry, they are waiting patiently.
In Cao Rui's view, although Cao Yu is considered brave, facing the current situation, it is wisest for him to surrender, and he should also make such a choice.
Just——
After waiting for a long time, Cao Yu did not come out of the palace to surrender.
However, shortly after dawn, Cao Yu, Wei Zhen and others appeared at the top of the palace.
Cao Rui and the others were not too far away from the palace gate. Now that the sky was bright, he could clearly see Cao Yu at the top of the city.
"Drive!"
Cao Rui waved his riding whip gently, urging the horse to take a few steps forward.
"Uncle Emperor!" Cao Rui stopped his horse and called: "Surrender, I don't blame you."
"It was my fault that Jinyang was defeated and captured;" Cao Rui raised his head and said: "I can understand that the emperor's uncle came to the throne to preside over state affairs in a difficult time, and I also very much approve of the emperor's uncle's actions."
Cao Rui said this from his heart. When he was captured, he never thought about living, but he only wanted to die. Liu Chan not only refused to kill him, but used him as a threat to cause the Wei Dynasty to lose its city and territory.
So at this time, as a member of the royal family of the Wei Dynasty, Cao Yu can step forward and take charge of the overall situation. This must be recognized.
However, after saying the words of approval, Cao Rui said: "When I return to the Kingdom of Wei this time, I really have no intention of competing with the emperor for the throne. I originally planned to remain anonymous..." He sighed and then said: "But ,Uncle Emperor, you forced me to do this."
"Haha——" Cao Yu sneered: "Cao Rui, you don't have to pretend to be benevolent and righteous here. If you really don't intend to fight for the throne, why did you return home? Why did you take over Hongnong County?"
"And -" Cao Yu said, suddenly pointing his finger: "How many wars have you launched against Xi Shu in the past few years since you came to the throne? Have you ever won a single battle?"
"Losing Guanzhong, losing Liangzhou...this is not enough..." Cao Yu said confidently: "Last year, he acted on his own initiative, regardless of the danger of the country, and personally conquered Jinyang, resulting in defeat and capture."
"Just because you were defeated and captured, we, the Wei Dynasty, lost Bingzhou again."
"What kind of face do you have for me, the Emperor of Wei?"
Cao Yu's words were heartbreaking, and Cao Rui didn't know how to refute them for a moment. Although Cao Yu sent assassins to assassinate him, in the final analysis, all of this was because of his self-righteousness.
If he had not chosen to fight in person last year, he would not have been captured by Liu Chan.
If he had not been captured by Liu Chan, Cao Yu would not have ascended the throne as emperor with the support of Wei Zhen, and there would have been no assassination later.
This——
Cao Yu is absolutely right. What qualifications does a captured emperor have to ascend to the throne again and become the king of Wei?
