Chapter 90 The situation in the palace

I heard that even the palace guards had been transferred to defend the city. This news instantly stirred up the whole court. One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the civil servants who stayed at home could no longer keep their composure and headed to the palace one after another.

Soon, more than a dozen civil servants gathered at the palace gate. These people, headed by He Yi, aggressively demanded to see Ji Fa.

There were only a few dozen palace guards who could not stop him at all, so they could only stop him while reporting to Ji Fa.

Ji Fa walked out of the main hall where he had been staying all morning. When he saw these excited civil servants, he said in a deep voice: "What, are you trying to force me into the palace?"

"Your Majesty, I don't dare!"

All the ministers hurriedly knelt on the ground.

Ji Fa said: "If you are not forcing me to marry you, then why are you here to see me? Could it be that you want to defend the city?"

After being the head of a country for so many years, the court often argued endlessly about war matters. As time went by, Ji Fa became more and more skilled in the art of controlling his subordinates.

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers looked at each other in confusion. They had no strength to restrain the chickens. What was the difference between letting them defend the city and risking their lives? They were used to being pampered, so how could they go to such a dangerous place on the battlefield?

He Yi cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I have my Xiqi soldiers guarding the city. As for the ministers who came to see your Majesty, there is a big matter."

San Yisheng said, "Prime Minister Jiang's contribution has been witnessed by all. Although he suffered several defeats, we cannot deny his ability. Our Xiqi City was attacked by the enemy and is in danger. Only by uniting as one can we defeat it.

Strong enemy."

When the ministers saw this, they couldn't persuade him any more.

"I beg your Majesty to leave the city."

Ji Fa suddenly laughed, and everyone laughed inexplicably.

San Yisheng looked surprised. He didn't expect that someone who hung out with He Yi could have such an understanding. It was really rare.

He Yi said: "Your Majesty, I heard that you transferred all the guards in the palace to the front line?"

He Yi said: "Your Majesty, I am only thinking about your safety and my country in Xiqi."

"What Mr. Liu said makes sense. No matter what Deng Zhong's intentions are, if the king walks away at this time, he will most likely fall into Deng Zhong's trap and the situation will be over."

He Yi moved his lips, and his thousands of words turned into a sigh. Now he could only pray that Jiang Ziya could defend Xiqi City, otherwise the big ship of the Ji family would sink, and everyone would be buried with it.

After the Ji family established their capital in Xiqi City, they conquered and expanded their territory. In just a few hundred years, the territory expanded several times. However, Bin City was the old capital and the place where they made their fortune. It was not abandoned. On the contrary, during Ji Chang's rule

, Bin City was expanded to accommodate 30,000 households. There are currently 30,000 troops stationed in the city, mainly to resist the Rong and Di.

San Yisheng laughed and said: "Master He's explanation is really far-fetched. Deng Zhong still has 30,000 troops and is standing still. He will not have the strength to attack the North Gate!"

The Ji family is deeply rooted in Xiqi City. He is the king of the entire Xiqi, so how can he leave without authorization? This departure will not only chill the hearts of the soldiers who fought bravely on the front lines and disappoint the people.

"A good person thinks about you and the country. I want to hear about your loyalty."

At first, Xiqi City was just a small city, able to accommodate only 3,000 households. Later, after three expansions, it became the majestic city that is famous all over the world.

San Yisheng cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I think this is not possible."

Ji Fa nodded and said: "The enemy and we are fighting fiercely. One more person means more strength. The purpose of sending them to the front line alone is to defeat the powerful enemy as soon as possible."

Jiang Ziya suffered too many defeats, and everyone had a lot of opinions about him. He tried to persuade him several times, but the king insisted on going his own way and still believed that Jiang Ziya could lead Xiqi's troops to overthrow Chengtang, which left He Yi with no choice.

Ji Fa's face darkened and he shouted: "He Yi, what are your intentions!"

He Yi was speechless for a while. He didn't know what Deng Zhong was thinking. When he saw San Yisheng smiling at him, there seemed to be a hint of ridicule in his smile, he felt even more angry. This San Yisheng was always against him, it was really hateful.

San Yisheng said: "How can I not care about the safety of the king? But what is the purpose of Deng Zhong's attack on the city and leaving only the north gate? Have you ever thought about this problem?"

If Xiqi City is captured, how can the Ji family talk about the future? Even if they escape here and find peace for a while, they will offend Dashang. If they don't have the ability to protect themselves, it will be useless to escape anywhere.

Ji Fa also guessed the purpose of these people's coming and said, "Follow me to the palace."

Ji Fa nodded and said, "The doctor is right. Gu has made up his mind. He will not go anywhere. He will stay in this palace and vow to live and die with Xiqi City."

He Yi said: "According to the doctor's words, we will leave the king's safety alone and place all our hopes on Prime Minister Jiang."

"Lord He is right. Your Majesty is the head of a country and the hope of millions of people in Xiqi. Now there is a lack of guards in the palace and there are powerful enemies outside. Who knows if there are spies of the great merchants in the city. For your safety, your Majesty,

It’s better to go out of the city.”

At this time, He Yi also risked his life and said loudly: "Your Majesty, at this moment, all the troops that Xiqi City can mobilize have been mobilized to the front line to defend the city. It can be seen how serious the situation has become. I see that Deng Zhong is coming this time.

The attack on the city was so fierce on the first day, and I don’t know how many troops he will invest in the follow-up. A gentleman would not stand behind a dangerous wall. For your safety, it is best for the king to leave the city."

The ministers stood up, went up the long steps, and entered the main hall.

He Yi said: "Your Majesty, defending the city is important, but your safety is even more important. The guard force in the palace has been emptied and cannot bear the responsibility of your safety. For the sake of your safety, I am bold and ask you to move to Bin."

city."

"Sir, perhaps Deng Zhong left one behind, which caused our Xiqi army to waver between escape and a deadly fight, and destroyed our army's fighting spirit."

Ji Fa's eyes lit up and he said: "Sir, you're here just in time. They advised me to leave Xiqi City and go to Bin City to take refuge."

All the ministers knelt down. It was too dangerous to stay in the city. They learned that only the north gate had no enemies, which meant they could leave through the north gate. But King Wu would not leave, so how could they dare to escape without permission? After all, this was a crime.

He Yi was shocked. He only wanted to leave Xiqi City as soon as possible and had forgotten this point. However, he could not lose momentum at this time, so he said firmly: "Perhaps Deng Zhong's troops are insufficient and he cannot attack the four gates at the same time.

"

At this moment, San Yisheng hurriedly entered the palace. He learned that more than a dozen civil servants were coming towards the palace with great enthusiasm. He knew that something was wrong, so he came in a hurry.

Ji Fa laughed angrily, but his eyes were a little scary.

Bincheng was the fiefdom of Ji Fa's great-grandfather, Gongdanfu. Due to the threat of Rong and Di, in order to prevent his people from dying in the war, Gongdanfu led his clan and people to move south to Qishan, where he settled residents and planned

City wall.

He Yi retorted: "Why not? Your Majesty's safety is above all else. If you stay in the city, if something goes wrong, I'm afraid the senior officer will not be able to bear the responsibility."

"The king is wise."

"San Yisheng stays, the others leave."

After taking care of these ministers, Ji Fa didn't want to see them again for a moment, and quickly waved his hand to signal them to leave.

"I'll take my leave."

The vigorous remonstrance ended in a hasty manner, and all the ministers were as listless as eggplants beaten by frost.
