Chapter 1210: The king and his subjects are birds of the same forest
Emperor Zhao is really ill this time, and he may not be able to survive for long.
Song Qi felt very uncomfortable at this time, not because his father was about to die, but because his father was about to die and left him such a mess.
Look at the princes of other countries. As soon as they take over, they create a strong and complete country. No state or county dares to disobey the same decree!
Look at him again. When he took over, there was only one capital left...
Moreover, it is a state city that is being besieged and has been cut off from food and grass.
The only person Song Qi could turn to for advice at this time was Prime Minister Qin. He sat on the dragon chair and looked at Prime Minister Qin, and asked hurriedly: "Prime Minister Qin, what should I do?"
Prime Minister Qin sighed, shook his head and said, "I hope the Forbidden Army can hold on for a little longer."
Seeing what Prime Minister Qin said, Song Qi immediately collapsed on the ground, waved his hand and retreated to the palace.
The person outside is Long Bing'er, and Long Bing'er hates the Song family. Will he and his father die without a burial place by then?
Just when Song Qi was about to check the secret passage to see if it was safe and familiarize himself with the way back in advance, Dianye, the leader of the palace guards, came over.
Song Qi stopped in the imperial garden, looked at Dianye and asked, "What's the matter with General Dian?"
Dianye cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, I will suspect that Li Hu has the intention to rebel and collaborate with the enemy!"
"What?!" Song Qi said in surprise; "What's going on?"
Dianye said: "It is strange that the governor Liu Eunuch died. Eunuch Liu always knew how to protect himself. How could he be killed by the rebels' firearms if he was not in danger? Don't you think it's strange, Your Highness?"
Hearing this, Song Qi frowned. What Dianye said was not unreasonable. He looked at Dianye and waited for Dianye to continue.
Dianye continued: "According to my subordinates, it is clear that Li Hu has rebelled long ago. If there is a military governor beside him, then the power of commanding the troops will not be entirely his. There will still be people who will fight against him. Now Eunuch Liu
If he is eliminated, then Li Hu will have the final say over the entire 200,000-strong army in the capital! Your Highness!"
Song Qi came back to his senses when he heard this. What Dianye said was not unreasonable!
Now the only thing he can rely on is the 200,000-strong army in the capital. Although he is now isolated and helpless, with the capital's strong defense and food storage, he can still hold on for at least two more months.
He can also use these more than two months to first explore the escape route, and then ask his cronies to send out the gold, silver and jewelry bit by bit.
It doesn’t matter if the passage is narrow!
Can’t it be enough if I come here a few more times?
But if Li Hu rebels, he won't have two months left!
If you don't bring some gold, silver and jewelry with you, not only Emperor Zhao won't be able to bear it, he himself won't be able to stand it either.
Now I am not prepared at all. Is Li Hu planning to rebel?
Even if he has no thoughts of rebellion now, the governor who was able to check him is now dead, and he has taken over all the power. Regardless of whether he has thoughts of rebellion, he now has the ability to rebel!
If he opens the city gate and surrenders to the enemy, doesn't that mean the capital is in danger?
Song Qi looked at Dian Ye and said, "General Dian, you are the one that my father and I trust the most. What should we do now?"
Dianye held up his hands and said, "Now it seems that the only way is to replace Li Hu, or to appoint a military governor to fight against him. Then he will naturally be wary."
Song Qi heard Dianye's words and walked around: "Now you are the only capable and prestigious general in the court. If according to what you said, Li Hu does have the intention to rebel. Even if he appoints a governor, he can't go there anymore."
Kill me once? If you die in Li Hu's hands, then Miyagi's last line of defense will be gone!"
Dianye cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, everyone has their weaknesses. If we want Li Hu to obediently guard the city for Your Highness, we must have some control in our hands."
When Song Qi heard what Dianye said, he asked, "What's the reason?"
Dianye said: "His Royal Highness Li Hu has a weakness. His family and his wife are still in the capital. If we invite his wife here, are we still afraid that Li Hu will play some tricks? Hold on.
Without his wife and children, Your Highness will be in an invincible position."
When Song Qi heard this, he nodded repeatedly and said: "Wonderful! Wonderful! In this case, General Dian, I will order you to go and invite Li Hu's wife and his young son to the palace. When the time comes, I will seal you
For the Overseer!"
Dianye immediately cupped his fists and said, "Yes!"
Song Qi breathed a sigh of relief at this time. Fortunately, Dianye had discovered such a countermeasure a long time ago. With such a capable minister and good general around him, his father didn't know how to reuse him? If in the past, I would have appointed you as a general of the Zhuguo, you would have been in trouble.
See people’s hearts!
Let’s go! See the secret passage!
Dianye summoned the palace guards and walked out of the palace. Now everyone can see that Zhao will be finished sooner or later, and finding a way out is the most important thing!
The leader of the imperial guard in the palace has only a thousand troops. Even if you surrender, no one will take you seriously. But if you are the governor with a hundred thousand troops, you can make deals with the rebels outside the city!
The king and his ministers are birds of the same forest. When disaster strikes, don't worry about where I fly...
