Eunuch Xu glanced at him and said: "Your Majesty, Feng Lingtian also encouraged the coalition forces, saying that as long as they can break into the palace, the concubines and princesses in the palace will be dealt with by the coalition forces!"
"What..." Emperor Hongyuan exclaimed again.
If Feng Lingtian were allowed to break into the palace, it would be a bloody storm.
At this time, Yun Qing hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Feng Lingtian is about to come in. What do you think we should do?"
"Where are my soldiers?
Isn't there a soldier who can protect me?"
Emperor Hongyuan said nervously.
Xu Gonggong said: "Your Majesty, originally there were 100,000 soldiers left in the capital to protect you, but General Dong Changfeng privately mobilized 50,000 Xuance troops to resist the coalition forces.
Xuance's army is currently fighting with part of Feng Lingtian's coalition forces in Qizhou. They are in a stalemate with that coalition force at the moment and cannot go to Beijing to rescue them."
Yun Qing said: "Your Majesty, among our other 50,000 troops, 30,000 soldiers are stationed at the gate of Yizhou City, and the remaining 20,000 soldiers are stationed at the gate of the Imperial City.
Currently, there are only 30,000 soldiers stationed in Yizhou City, but Feng Lingtian has brought hundreds of thousands of soldiers to attack, and now Feng Lingtian is attacking the city.
Their soldiers are so numerous and their morale is so high, I am afraid that our 30,000 soldiers will not be able to resist them!"
"How did it become like this?
What should I do?
Let me think about it."
Emperor Hongyuan trembled and held his head.
He didn't expect that his wise life would lead to today.
At this time, Yun Qing said in panic: "Your Majesty, you don't have to think about it. The coalition forces are coming fiercely, and Feng Lingtian is ruthless and ruthless. If he is allowed to break into the palace, he will definitely burn, kill and loot, and even more...
It will hurt you even more.
I think it would be best for us to leave here as soon as possible and escape to a safe place before they come in."
"What?
Yun Xiang, do you want me to leave the palace?"
Emperor Hongyuan looked at the magnificent palace with a look of reluctance on his face.
He has only been emperor for more than ten years, and he hasn't done enough yet. How can he leave here?
Once he leaves, can he still live a life where he is the supreme being and is respected by thousands of people?
Seeing that Emperor Hongyuan was reluctant to leave, Yunqing knew that he was reluctant to leave power.
But now the enemy is coming in. No matter how reluctant you are to give up power, you must give it up, otherwise everyone will die miserably.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this Feng Lingtian does all kinds of evil. When he invaded those small countries before, he massacred their people, dismembered their kings, and even had soldiers rape and kill princesses and concubines. His methods were extremely cruel.
If he catches us, neither of us will end well.
Your Majesty, I know a secret way to escape from the capital. We can leave the palace for the time being. It is important to save our lives first. We will discuss other matters later."
Nangong Wenye said: "Your Majesty, Xiang Yun is right, saving your life is the most important thing now.
The days are long, let’s retreat to a safe place first, and when the time comes we will gather the soldiers to fight back and seek revenge on Feng Lingtian.”
After hearing what the two people said, Emperor Hongyuan turned pale with fright!
Feng Lingtian actually wanted to tear his car apart and cause trouble in his harem. How could he still dare to stay here?
But he couldn't bear to live as an emperor, and he couldn't bear to live in such a beautiful palace.
He said tremblingly: "You... you can let me think about it first, okay?"
Yunqing knew that Emperor Hongyuan had not yet made up his mind, so he had to say: "Okay, Your Majesty, you think about it first, I will go back and contact my family first, and then I will take care of the things.
As soon as the emperor thinks about it, we will leave."
After saying this, the ministers left in panic, leaving Emperor Hongyuan alone in the hall, feeling anxious and worried.
He glanced at the splendid hall and imagined the days when he wore a dragon robe and a crown, sitting in the hall and receiving worship from the ministers.
I imagined him walking in the harem with the maids and eunuchs, enjoying the admiration and vying for favor from the concubines.
I imagine the days when the officials and princes who looked down on him knelt at his feet and prostrated towards him.
Those days are so beautiful, are they really going to end?
He couldn't bear to give up, he couldn't bear to give up this noble life, he couldn't bear to give up the life of a master, he couldn't bear to give up so many beauties in the palace, he couldn't bear to give up the overwhelming power and the overwhelming wealth.
This is his territory, his country, and he doesn't want to give up, not at all.
—
Here, Emperor Hongyuan was debating whether to leave or not.
On the other side, Feng Lingtian's coalition forces had already carried the siege cone and were struggling to attack the city gate.
Above the city gate, there were bows, arrows and stones flying everywhere.
The coalition troops pushed the catapult and threw the stones on the catapult onto the opposite city wall.
After a while, many Chu soldiers were knocked down and fell from the city wall.
There were many coalition troops standing on ladders and waving grappling hooks, rushing towards the city wall. The Chu soldiers were also desperately resisting.
But there were too many coalition troops below. They came up in groups like poisonous scorpions, and their number was several times that of the Chu army.
Seeing these coalition forces as ferocious as poisonous scorpions, the Chu soldiers above were demoralized and had no intention of resisting!
