After the old emperor met his ancestor Cao Kun, he directly expressed his true thoughts without any foreshadowing or euphemism.
When the ancestor Cao Kun heard this, he was not surprised or angry, nor was he helpless that a child cannot be taught. It seemed that he had expected it, or he had already had the same view in his heart as the old emperor.
The imperial capital is protected by a large city defense formation. It is indeed difficult for Hua to break in in a short time, but as of now, they have no hope of winning this war. As for counting on the Zhengzhen sect, in Cao Kun's opinion, the Zhengzhen sect
It was also hard to count on it. Two days ago, he had just received news from within the Zhengzhen Sect. The Zhengzhen Sect contacted the Ancestral Court, and the Taiyi Sect of the Ancestral Court also sent people to help. However, for some unknown reason, nothing was done in the end, and there were
One piece of news is very fatal, Hua Guo seems to be related to Taiyi Sect.
This news is so terrible.
The combined strength of the three demon sects is not weaker than that of the Zhengzhen sect, not to mention Yan Chou, a half-step earthly immortal. Without any unexpected surprises, the Zhengzhen sect will not be able to defeat the Zhengzhen sect without the explicit help of the ancestors.
, there is basically no hope of a comeback.
The era of the True Sect has passed.
Although the old emperor's approach was very cowardly, it preserved the continuation of the clan.
As the saying goes, Thirty Years is Hedong, Thirty Years is Hexi.
The glory of the Zhengzhen Sect and the Dafeng Kingdom has passed.
The old emperor is old and has lost his ambitions. Moreover, due to physical reasons, he will not live much longer. He does not care about being the king of subjugation. As long as he can protect the continuation of the royal family, that is his greatest wish.
Did he watch the royal family being slaughtered in his hands before he died?
Which one is lighter and which one is more important is clear at a glance.
When the old emperor saw that his ancestor Cao Kun was silent, he knew that he had acquiesced to his idea, but it was a lot of trouble to do it. The biggest trouble was the two Zhang brothers. If they knew that they were going to surrender, would they 'make trouble'?
?
"If Ancestor has no objection to me being such a bad person, I will go see the two worshipers tomorrow and plead guilty myself."
The old emperor said bluntly.
Cao Kun sighed, shook his head, and said: "I can just go over to their side. Now that you are Emperor Dafeng, since you decide to surrender, I will definitely not stop you. You can handle what the court should do."
"
Cao Kun turned around and left. The old emperor got his ancestor's consent and knelt on the ground with a bang, saying: "The incompetence of our descendants has disappointed our ancestors."
"There is no everlasting dynasty. If the Dafeng Kingdom has reached its present state, our ancestors will not complain."
After saying a few words, Cao Kun disappeared from the imperial study room.
The old emperor felt sad for himself, then adjusted his mentality and ordered his servant to call the prince.
The prince came to the imperial study room and saw his father looking downcast and his eyes red, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.
"What do you want your father to do for you?"
the prince asked.
"After discussing with my ancestors, I decided to surrender to the Kingdom of China to avoid the destruction of the royal family. You can handle the following matters."
Although the prince has not yet ascended the throne, due to the old emperor's health, he has been in charge of the government in recent years. He is already familiar with handling court affairs. The old emperor does not need to give too many instructions, just give him a direction.
When the prince heard this, he suddenly lost his temper. Surrender was definitely not what he wanted to see. This meant that his dream of sitting on the throne of the Nine-Fifth Emperor was shattered, and this dream was already close at hand. Although he felt unwilling to do so, he did not dare to propose it.
Opposition, because this is the result of the discussion between the father and the ancestor. When the ancestor agrees, the opinions of other people are insignificant.
Seeing that the prince did not respond, the old emperor frowned and said, "Do you understand?"
"ah?"
Hearing the words, the prince suddenly came back to his senses. He wanted to refute and ask his father to take back his orders, but he knew that it would be useless and said: "I understand, I will go down and do it now."
The prince took the order and left. The old emperor looked at the prince's back and sighed.
After the prince returned to the East Palace, he could no longer hold back his dissatisfaction. He clenched his fist and slammed it on the table, saying angrily: "Why surrender? Why surrender? Our Dafeng Kingdom is not at the end of its rope. Why?
Do you want to do this?"
"It seems that my father and ancestor are really old. They have lost their energy and motivation."
After venting his dissatisfaction, the prince sat down on the chair in defeat. Now he could do nothing else but vent and could only accept the reality.
The cronies below understood the old emperor's thoughts through the prince's words. They were slightly surprised, and then sighed helplessly. The ancestors all agreed to surrender. They had no room for maneuver and could only accept their fate.

After Cao Kun left the imperial study, he immediately went to see the two brothers Zhang Ying and Zhang Xiong.
The two brothers were emotionally unstable. They lost two close brothers in just a few days. It would be difficult for anyone to accept such a thing, let alone Cao Kun who would add fuel to the fire.
Cao Kun really didn't want to tell them the news of surrender, but it would be impossible not to tell them such an important decision, because the development of Dafeng Kingdom was at its current stage, and the four brothers' contribution to Dafeng Kingdom was huge.
Fengguo is also their home.
"Brother Cao is here!"
Cao Kun walked outside the door, but before he could say hello, Zhang Xiong saw him first and greeted him, asking him to come in.
Brothers Zhang Ying and Zhang Xiong did not cry to heaven and earth because of the tragic death of their two brothers. After a brief loss of composure on the city wall, the two quickly calmed down. After all, they are powerful beings in the Yuanshen realm. What they want now
All you have to do is find a way to get revenge instead of being sad, because sadness will not bring your brother back to life, but revenge can bring spiritual salvation.
"Brother Cao wants to be the abbot of the city defense formation, why do you have time to come here?"
After Zhang Ying asked Cao Kun to sit down, he asked casually, but his eyes flickered, as if he had a premonition of the purpose of Cao Kun's trip.
"Eldest brother came here this time because he has something to discuss with the two brothers."
Cao Kun was silent for a moment and then said.
Zhang Ying and Zhang Xiong were not stupid people. Seeing Brother Cao's hesitation, they immediately understood when to discuss.
"Brother Cao has decided to surrender to China?"
Zhang Yingdao.
"The situation is over. I don't want my clan to be massacred."
Cao Kun said: "But don't worry, I will never forget the matter of avenging the third and fourth elders. After the imperial court surrenders, I will draw a clear line with you and leave with you to accumulate strength for revenge in the future."
In Cao Kun's position, this matter would be really difficult to handle.
One side is the clan, the other side is the brothers.
"Brother, there is no need to do this. We will avenge the third and fourth brothers ourselves. If Brother Cao is involved, even if we draw a clear line with the royal family, it will definitely bring disaster to the royal family in the future."
Zhang Ying said very understandingly: "The four of us brothers are able to reach this day and even survive today because of Brother Cao, so we will not embarrass Brother Cao. We will leave after the imperial court surrenders."
Cao Kun was heartbroken and wanted to say something, but in the end he chose to remain silent.
