Chapter 186 The day when the country is destroyed is when you will die for the country
The emperor's palace fell into an eerie silence, while the streets of Jiankang were in chaos.
The rebels attacked the city, and the officers and soldiers guarded the city wall. The people in the city were captured and young men were recruited and assembled to transport stones, wood, kerosene and other materials to the city wall.
This is the first time in their lives that the people living in Jiankang heard the sound of fighting. They lived in the south of the Yangtze River for more than 300 years under the reign of Emperor Yu. They had never seen a real war. Subconsciously, they did not dare to go out.
, panicked, this feeling is too torturous.
It wasn't until the sunset filled the sky that the sounds of fighting and drumming outside the city slowly disappeared.
On the city wall and in the fields outside the city, blood filled the air, the fire was not extinguished, the smoke was still thick, and the smell of burnt meat could still be vaguely smelled in the air.
The officers and soldiers guarding the city numbly cleaned the battlefield, moved the corpses off the wall, and carried the injured soldiers down for treatment.
It wasn't until a fast horse rode through the street, and the sound of horse hooves was like stepping on the hearts of everyone, that everyone came back to their senses, the city was temporarily defended, and the enemy was temporarily defeated.
In the palace, the new emperor and his courtiers waited for a day, and finally received news of the enemy's defeat.
The new emperor excitedly clapped his hands: "Okay, okay, I am indeed a good man as Dayu. As long as we are united and united, my troops will be the indestructible Great Wall of Steel!"
After listening to his words, the ministers all lowered their heads. The enemy's temporary defeat did not mean that they had withdrawn their troops. They didn't know what to be happy about.
The new emperor was happy for a while, then he lowered his head and saw that all the ministers below looked like they were mourning for their heirs, "Why, aren't you happy that the enemy has been defeated?"
The ministers knelt down and Zuo Pushe said: "Your Majesty, I and others are worried about the upcoming confrontation between the two armies."
The new emperor frowned: "Since I am worried about this, can you think of a strategy to deal with the enemy?"
Zuo Pushe said with a face of shame: "I am stupid, there is no other good way for now."
"hehe!"
After hearing what he said, the new emperor smiled, "Ai Qing mentioned stupidity, so I want to ask you, since you are stupid, how did you climb to a position above this person and above ten thousand people? Or do you think I am blind?
, to promote you, a idiot, to a high position?"
After a few months, it is rare to encounter a happy event that makes my heart feel relieved. Since you don’t want me to have a good time, then everyone should not think about it and go to hell together!
The ministers were shocked!
Zuo Pushe's self-effacing words can still be understood in this way?
Zuo Pushe's old face turned purple, and he was extremely angry: "Your Majesty, I speak frankly about the pros and cons, but my loyal words are offensive to my ears. Your Majesty cannot accept loyal advice, so please don't trample on your sincere heart!"
The new emperor laughed: "Haha. We have been getting along with each other for several months, and I don't know that you are loyal to the court and me! I am so ashamed of you!"
Zuo Pushe was so angry that he trembled all over, "Your Majesty, don't humiliate me here!"
The new emperor had laughed enough, waved his hands and said: "Don't be angry, I just made a joke with you, don't take it seriously!"
Zuo Pushe sighed, as if he was completely disappointed, and said: "I am afraid that I will let down the emperor. I would like to resign and prepare to retire and return to my hometown!"
"Haha!" The new emperor chuckled. To be able to climb to the position of chief minister is basically an official fan.
Above one person and below ten thousand people, how much temptation is there? Who can let go of the power in his hands and live the idle life of a countryman?
"You are really willing to leave behind the glory and wealth you have already obtained. I admire you, you are right!"
The word 'quasi' fell into Zuo Pushe's ears, and his heart and liver trembled, and then his heart and liver began to hurt.
His glory and wealth!
Annoyance flashed in the eyes of Zuo Pushe who was lying on the ground. He didn't expect that the new emperor would not act according to common sense. Damn it!
"Your Majesty, no!"
The minister of the Ministry of Personnel, who was Zuopushe's son-in-law, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Zuopushe is the pillar of the country, how can you let him go into seclusion so easily?"
"Master Cui's words are reasonable, but Zuo Pushe's words were inappropriate due to his temporary anger. Your Majesty, the time of national crisis is the time to employ people. You must not let Zuo Pushe resign!"
"Your Majesty, if you lose your virtuous ministers, how will you be able to achieve political success and prosperous people, so as to revive Dayu?"
"Your Majesty, abandoning good ministers is not the behavior of a wise king. I hope Your Majesty will think twice!"
Listening to their words, the new emperor laughed in anger.
A large group of courtiers in the court interceded for him. After talking and talking, it became his fault and he couldn't tolerate virtuous ministers!
If Zuopushe was not left alive, he would eventually become a foolish king in their eyes.
The new emperor watched the Zuopushe faction perform below without disturbing him. When they had almost finished speaking, he asked, "Who else wants to resign?"
The ministers looked at each other in confusion, what does this mean?
Does this mean that if someone else wants to resign, will he approve it as well?
"Your Majesty." Mr. Cui, the Minister of Civil Affairs, raised his head.
But the new emperor interrupted him before he could finish his words, "Master Cui also wants to resign with you, Master Taishan?"
"I"
"Okay, I'm sure!"
Mr. Cui was dumbfounded. What does the emperor mean? He is still playing balance of power here in the face of a national crisis? Does he want to weaken the influence of civil servants, or does he simply want to deal with his father-in-law?
The ministers were dumbfounded again!
Is the new emperor engaging in a series of sittings?
At this time, the officials finally noticed that the crazy emperor sitting on the dragon throne was getting more and more crazy!
Kill a thousand cuts!
They were all forced out by the rebels, who drove their puppet emperor crazy!
Give them an obedient puppet emperor!
How can they develop their family industry with peace of mind with an uncontrolled emperor?
"What? Cui Aiqing is duplicitous. I agreed to your resignation, are you not happy?" The new emperor looked at him doubtfully, as if he was an obedient baby asking for advice.
"We have been together for many years, and Wei Chen is a little bit reluctant to leave the emperor." Mr. Cui tried his best to make the new emperor happy, hoping that he would forget the unpleasantness just now.
The new emperor was overjoyed when he heard this, "Haha, after hearing what Cui Aiqing said, I feel a little reluctant to leave you. Why don't you stay?"
Mr. Cui was overjoyed, thinking that he had persuaded the emperor to change his mind. He was so excited that he was about to say something when he heard the new emperor speak again.
"Someone is coming!"
"The slave is here!"
The new emperor looked at Dai Yi and pointed at the father-in-law and his son-in-law who were kneeling on the ground, "Since they are reluctant to leave the capital, go and arrange their residence and take them down!"
Among the people present, only Dai Yi understood the emperor's meaning, waved his hand to help the two of them, and escorted them out.
When the couple saw something was wrong, they became anxious!
"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"
The new emperor raised the corners of his lips slightly, revealing a wicked smile, "Since you don't want to leave Jian'an, just stay with me."
"emperor."
"Pull it down!"
Zuo Pushe and Master Cui were desperate.
The new emperor's eyes were fierce as he glanced at the ministers, "Who else wants to resign?"
Ministers: "."
The new emperor was slightly satisfied with the reaction of the ministers, "Don't think about doing things perfunctorily. If one day the city is destroyed, if I am the king of the country's subjugation, then you will be the ministers of the country's subjugation. Don't think about being the slaves of the three surnames. I will not
I will give you a chance!"
As he spoke, he saw with satisfaction the look of horror on the faces of the officials.
Not enough, he added: "Zuo Pushe and his son-in-law want to become fugitive slaves. How can I allow it? The day of the country's fall will be the day when they die. If you are a minister of Yu for one day, you will be Yu for the rest of your life."
If you, my minister, want to serve the two masters, I will never agree!"
When the ministers heard these harsh words, they were all frightened. The new emperor seemed easy to fool, but at the moment of life and death, the burst of energy was a bit scary!
Not to be messed with!
This is a crazy emperor!
I had a dream last night about being pressed down by something.
In the dream, the person is awake, but cannot move. He wants to call for help, but cannot make a sound.
I struggled desperately, but I couldn't break free.
In the end, he refused to accept his fate and struggled again, "Ah!"
After shouting it out, people also came over!
When I woke up, I felt weak all over and had lingering fears.
