Cui Jianjiang's injuries are getting worse and worse, and anyone who has met him knows that the king's time is running out. At the age of twenty-six, the king is about to leave behind the task of recovering the country, and the people of Busan are shrouded in a cloud of gloom.

The people who were able to stay in Busan were the ones who gave up all their determination to live and die with Goryeo, but if there was no one to whom they were allegiated, it was questionable whether they would be able to maintain their faith and continue to fight. Therefore, Prime Minister Park Anjae and General Myeong-yi issued a silent order to the outside world, but the news of the king's critical illness still spread throughout the city, but fortunately, the defection did not happen.

As time passed, Cui Jianjiang began to be in a comatose state often, and even when he woke up, he was not very conscious, and the long period of high fever continued to absorb the vitality of the young king, pulling him to the brink of death bit by bit.

"Invite the Prime Minister and Akiyoshi." The king, who came to his senses again, suddenly said this, and the palace people who served were taken aback, and immediately someone rushed away.

The two remaining Goryeo ministers hurried to hear the news, and the king smiled at them, but his pale face and sweating did not help to comfort the two ministers.

"Two Aiqing, I invite you two to come today, and I have one thing to entrust." The weakened king barely finished his sentence and had to catch his breath.

Park Anzai and Myeongyi glanced at each other, and they already understood what the king meant. Mingyi hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Weichen respectfully obeys!" ”

Park An was unable to move, and at this time he also struggled to fall to the ground.

Cui Jianjiang said softly: "My time is short, but it is a pity that I have been established in Goryeo for more than 200 years, and I have come to this end, I am really ashamed of the previous kings." ”

Park An choked up: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty must not give up on yourself! Your Majesty is in full bloom, and Goryeo still needs Your Majesty! ”

Mingyi said: "Your Majesty, today's situation is not Your Majesty's fault, Your Majesty has done his best in the face of the social crisis, and he is really worthy of the previous king!" ”

Cui Jianjiang crooked the corners of his mouth, but tears flowed in his eyes, and he looked up to the sky and sighed: "The two Aiqing don't need to persuade each other, I understand." The Goryeo Kingdom has come to an end today, and the reason why I refuse to surrender is just to prove to the world that the Goryeo Kingdom can be destroyed, but the men of the Goryeo royal family will not be conquered. But now, it's all over. ”

Cui Jianjiang said this, and stopped to rest five or six times halfway. Mingyi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't be discouraged, the prince is still here!" Goryeo is still here! ”

Cui Jianjiang sighed: "The prince is young and doesn't understand anything. Even if you succeed to the throne, it won't help. I invited the two Aiqing not to invite the two to support the young master, but to have more important things to entrust. ”

Pu An said: "Wechen pleads to His Majesty's edict, and Wechen will not hesitate to go to the soup!" ”

"If Heaven wants Goryeo to perish, then let it perish. But I want you two to continue to fight for me with like-minded people to the end, Goryeo may perish, but the people of Goryeo cannot be conquered! Even if you fight to the last person and shed the last drop of blood, you will never give in! Just use the blood of our people to wake up all the people of Goryeo! Then our people may have a chance to drive out the invaders and regain their country! ”

Surprisingly, Cui Jianjiang's words didn't even hesitate at all, and even his face suddenly felt a little ruddy.

Mingyi nodded as if he had comprehended, leaned down and kowtowed again: "Your Majesty wants to retain a man's spirit for my Goryeo Kingdom, as long as this anger is not extinguished, my Goryeo will have a day to return to the country!" ”

Cui Jianjiang nodded, but there was a look of expectation in his eyes.

Mingyi said: "Your Majesty Shengming, Weichen is willing to use this broken body to fight for the revival of Goryeo to the last drop of blood!" ”

"The same is true of the old minister!" Park Ann is in the road.

"In this case, please leave it to the two Qing families." After Cui Jianjiang finished speaking, he closed his eyes and said quietly: "After I die, if there are people in the city who are willing to leave, there is no need to stop them, and it is not beautiful to reluctantly stay." ”

"The ministers obey."

After that, Cui Jianjiang stopped talking, and it took nearly half an hour for everyone to confirm that His Majesty the King had died.

In October 807 of the Gregorian calendar, Choi Jianjiang, the last king of Goryeo, died. Due to his last wishes, Myeong-yi and Park An-jae did not put his youngest son on the throne of Goryeo, but announced the news of the king's death, and at the same time announced that Busan Fortress would fight for Goryeo to the last soldier and would never give in to the country of silk. Inspired by them, none of the soldiers and civilians in Busan chose to leave, and 4,741 people, including the wounded and sick, still held the city against the army of the Silk Country.

This proclamation of Busan Castle greatly encouraged the people who spontaneously organized against the Silk Country, and they revolted like a spark, dozens or hundreds of people against the Silk Country army, although they did not have decent weapons and equipment, food and grass, and no unified command and action, but still caused great trouble to the rule of the Silk Country Andong Metropolitan Protectorate. This situation did not change until much later, but at that time, the situation of the Andong Protectorate was almost out of control.

The army of the Janokun, which was besieging Busan Castle on the front line, was also facing a grim situation. The supreme commander Gai Yanxiao was wounded by an arrow, although he was only hit by one arrow, but the arrow had already injured Gai Yanxiao's internal organs, so the injury was very serious. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Gai Yanxiao forcibly took care of military affairs, which led to the deterioration of the situation. It wasn't until more than ten days later that Gao Dingbian escorted grain and grass to the front line, and Gao Dingbian almost semi-coercively demanded that Gai Yanxiao immediately stay in bed and receive treatment, and he took on the role of commander-in-chief. Later, Gai Yanxiao had to return to Pyongyang for treatment due to the delay in his injury, and Gao Dingbian officially took over the command.

However, Gao Dingbian's actions led to another consequence, that is, since he acted as the commander, the grain transportation route of the Silk Country could no longer be as smooth as before, and under the continuous harassment of the Goryeo rebels, this grain route was intermittent, which dealt a serious blow to the morale of the front.
