When the emperor saw that he could not get an answer from the two great bachelors, he couldn't help but feel a burst of sadness. He had promoted so many ministers, but in the end there were only two who stood beside him without fear of life and death. One of them was considered to have flattered him and gained a high position.
A treacherous minister. The other one is a loyal young general.
The emperor calmed down and thought that he might not have any reason to survive today. From ancient times to the present, princes who have committed troubles have not been able to keep the emperor. Thinking that he was about to die, he was a little unwilling to say anything.
To be honest, the emperor feels very lonely now and always wants to die with a few people. Because of this, many treacherous ministers often take advantage of the situation and gain the emperor's complete trust.
The emperor felt that he wanted to let out some anger in his heart, and he had no worries now. Although these ministers all had some power, what was he afraid of now? People who were about to die, so he could give them some color now.
Let go of the sullen feeling in your heart.
So the emperor said to Jia Ke who was standing aside: "Speak out your true thoughts and let the ministers below listen. Let them learn what loyalty to the emperor and patriotism are."
Jia Ke had already thought about it just now. There was no danger in taking refuge with the emperor, and now his side still had the upper hand. As long as he fought out, he could rely on his 50,000 troops and the three major camps controlled by Wang Ziteng, the Jiedushi Commander of the Beijing Camp.
With an army of 150,000, even if the other Jiedu envoys surrendered to the prince, their side could still win. At most, the emperor would die, then the prince would be removed, and another emperor would be replaced.
So Jia Ke immediately answered the emperor: "I am your Majesty's servant in life, and your Majesty's ghost in death. At that time, I was just a small family of thousands, and was framed by Jiedushi Wang Tao. The emperor clearly noticed the details several times, and promoted me to the lowest level.
Today, I have you. At this time, it is time for me to repay the emperor. I am willing to die with the emperor and guard the emperor forever."
When the emperor heard what Jia Ke said, he was so moved. He didn't expect that Jia Ke, at such a young age, could be blamed for death by an emperor who was already at the end of his rope. It seemed that he still had some foresight. At least he didn't become a loner when he was at the end of his rope.
.
The emperor laughed loudly at this time and said to the ministers below who were persuading him to abdicate: "Have you heard? This is the true loyal minister. Since you have identified the prince, go find your new master. I
Just take these loyal ministers around you and wait for him to come and take your life."
The ministers below looked at each other, and they were all a little embarrassed. If they left now, it would not appear to be disloyal, but if they didn't leave, the new emperor would blame him and they might not be able to enjoy the glory and wealth.
So these people looked at each other, and finally fixed their eyes on one of the ministers. This minister was the first one to come out to persuade the emperor to abdicate.
When the minister saw that everyone was staring at him, his heart changed. He had already been the first to advise the emperor, and he didn't care about offending him again. So he was the first to turn around and walk down the mountain.
Now that there was a leader, ministers walked out one after another and went down the mountain to join the prince. In the end, there were only a few people left in the hall, including Lei Ying, the Minister of War.
This Lei Ying also agreed when everyone was admonishing him. The emperor looked at him strangely and asked: "Lei Ying, didn't you just persuade me to abdicate? Why don't you go out to see your new master now?"
Lei Ying looked at the emperor stubbornly and said: "I just advised your majesty to yield to the prince, in order to save the emperor's life, and to fulfill his duty as a minister when nothing can be done. But now that the emperor is determined to die, how can I betray him?"
The Lord surrendered to a thief, so he stayed and died with the Emperor."
The emperor looked at the stubborn Lei Ying with a bleak smile on his face, and then looked at the few people left behind and said: "After I die, I will leave a legacy. How many of you will be buried near me? I think the new emperor is
No matter how cruel you are, you will still act according to my decree. As for your family, the new emperor will treat you generously in order to win over people's hearts. You don't have to worry."
After the emperor said this, he smiled sadly.
When Pan Yong heard what the emperor said, his legs were trembling so much that he could no longer stand. He took a trembling step forward and said to the emperor: "Long live the Lord has not reached this point yet. It is just that he is unstoppable in the end."
Because, I don’t think the prince will do anything to the emperor. It’s better for the emperor not to think about these things.”
In fact, Pan Yong thought in his heart that if the emperor did not die, as an old minister of the emperor, the prince would not necessarily kill him for the sake of the emperor. After all, the prince still wanted to have face. And once the emperor died and left a will,
These people must die if they don't want to die. That's why they came out to persuade the emperor to stop committing suicide.
But at this time Lei Ying stood up and objected, "Pan Yong, what are you talking about? Do you want the emperor to linger? Besides, how can you be sure that the prince will not do such disobedient things. If the prince is cruel by then,
, even the emperor’s whole body may not be saved.”
Pan Yong was about to refute, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know what to say.
At this critical moment of life and death, a person's nature can best be shown. Now we can see that Lei Ying's nature is strong, and he would rather be broken than destroyed.
Jia Ke looked at the emperor and several other ministers from the side, and they all began to prepare for the funeral. He hurriedly stepped forward and suggested to the emperor: "Your Majesty, you don't have to be like this. We are not at the end of our rope yet. If we can take a risk,
, maybe there is still a chance for a comeback.”
When the emperor heard Jia Ke's words, his eyes immediately lit up, and the pale color on his face faded a lot. Who would want to die if he could live?
"My dear, please tell me if you have any ideas, and we can discuss it together." The emperor was already impatient.
Jia Ke stepped forward, bowed his hands and saluted, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, it seems that the prince has the advantage now, but it is not the case. The only men and horses that the prince can use now are the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of Liaodong Jiedushi Xie Hu (Jia Ke's paragraph)
After thinking about it, King Beijing was so afraid of the Liaodong Jiedushi some time ago that he even sent his troops to fight with the Tatars. It seems that this person is a direct descendant of the prince), and he was controlled by Huo Tu, the Minister of War.
It's nothing more than the imperial army. As long as the emperor breaks out of the siege, he can order the three major battalions, as well as the 50,000 troops in Xuanfu Town, as well as the king's troops from all walks of life. Then under the siege of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, he can be
To quell the rebellion."
After listening to Jia Ke's words, the emperor felt as if the sun had suddenly cleared from the clouds. His despairing thoughts immediately came to life again. He walked back and forth in front of the palace excitedly, thinking about what Jia Ke said, and found that it was indeed the case. As long as he did not give in, then
He is still the master of this world. And Wang Ziteng, the governor of the Beijing Camp of the three camps, is also his confidant and Jia Ke's uncle. When the time comes, he and the soldiers of the two armies will surely be able to quell the rebellion.
The more the emperor thought about it, the more he realized this. The only people he could trust now were the three people in front of him, no, maybe four people. The old eunuch Dai Quan beside him was also always with him.
This is true: in times of crisis, loyalty is revealed, and in times of chaos, loyalty is recognized. Without this turmoil, I would still not be able to see clearly, which one is the loyal minister and which one is the treacherous minister?
The emperor made up his mind to take the risk and break out. Otherwise, he would not be willing to die. He suddenly turned around and asked Jia Jia Ke: "How to break out? Please give me an explanation, and we all will listen to you."
"If you want to break out, you must first reduce the possibility of being discovered. Please change your clothes, take off the dragon robe, and put on the clothes of an ordinary soldier. As long as you carry the jade seal with you, I will protect the emperor and break out of the siege. When the time comes, the emperor will
Use the jade seal to command the world." Jia Ke said respectfully.
When the emperor heard this, he immediately said to Dai Quan next to him: "Go find some ordinary clothes, don't be too conspicuous."
Although Dai Quan reluctantly stayed just now, he was scared to death. The reason why he didn't leave was actually because others might still have a chance to survive. As a close person of the emperor, he had been in charge of the secret guard for the emperor for so many years. He knew it.
There were too many secrets, and the prince would never let him live, so he stood by the emperor and would not flinch.
But our emperor didn't know that among the few ministers he thought were loyal around him, in fact, the only one who was truly loyal to him was Lei Ying. The others either had no hope or had other agendas.
When Dai Quan was in a daze there, he suddenly heard that things were turning around. He dared to be negligent and ran to the back to look for clothes.
Not long after, Dai Quan ran out from the back of the palace with a pile of clothes in his arms. These clothes seemed to be relatively old guard clothes, and one or two of them were worn by eunuchs.
The emperor looked at the clothes Dai Quan had brought and was really embarrassed. But instead of being angry, the emperor praised him and looked at Dai Quan. At this time, these old clothes were just right.
So the emperor said to Pan Yong and Lei Ying who were standing aside: "Come on, everyone quickly change clothes. Then we can break out of the siege."
So these people all came closer and started looking through the clothes, trying to find a suit that fit. In the end, the emperor chose a bodyguard's clothes, and the remaining two had to wear eunuch clothes, because the remaining pieces
It is no longer complete, so if you put it on hastily, you will definitely show off your flaws.
Among these people, only Jia Ke did not change his shape, because he was wearing unicorn armor and could not wear other clothes. It was better to go out in such a bright and bright way, so as to attract some attention to the emperor and others, and reduce their discovery.
Opportunity.
After everyone was dressed, Jia Ke raised his hands and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, wait here for a moment. I will go to the hitching post in front to fetch some horses so that everyone can break out of the formation."
After hearing this, the emperor immediately nodded and agreed: "Go, you have to go back quickly and be more careful." After hearing the emperor's words, Jia Ke handed over his hand and immediately left the inner imperial city and walked outside.
The emperor looked at Jia Ke walking away with some doubts in his heart, but he had to believe Jia Ke now because this was his last hope.
At this time, the emperor swore in his heart that if Jia Ke could come back with the horses and help him break out of the siege, he would definitely protect Jia Ke's glory and wealth.
Besides, Jia Ke left the Inner Imperial City and came outside the Brick City. At this time, he saw that everyone had almost run away. When he came to the stable where the horses were tied, he saw that his fire dragon colt had been unbridled.
, it seems that someone wanted to ride this horse, but the fire dragon colt was not something that others could ride. It seemed that he had knocked away everyone and escaped, and now he ran back to wait for him when he saw that no one was there.
The fire dragon colt saw Jia Ke coming, and immediately trotted to his side. The horse's head kept burrowing into Jia Ke's arms, as if to express his grievances. Jia Ke held the horse's head with one hand and kept pushing the horse's head with the other hand.
Stroking its neck. It was difficult to hold it down.
Then Jia Ke got on his horse and headed towards the Tucheng outside. After leaving Tucheng, he was no longer within the scope of the mausoleum.
