Chapter Seventy-Six: Gu Yang Takes Power

The next morning, there was a heated discussion in the palace.

"Since the founding of the country, the royal family has never moved the capital! I resolutely oppose moving south!"

"Yes, I am also against moving south, the king is a huge wall, it is the easiest place in the whole kingdom to defend and difficult to attack, if the king can't defend it, can other places be defended?"

"What the two lords said is very true, we must not move the capital, we must defend the royal capital, as long as we hold it until winter, the enemy will retreat without a fight!"

Several powerful people spoke out against the idea of moving south.

"But, my lords, the king has no food, no salary, no soldiers and no generals, how should he defend it!" a young viscount roared angrily, "If you defend the royal capital, you will have to die in the royal capital!"

Jace was very dissatisfied, he felt that several powerful people in the palace were filled with lard in their heads, and the king only had 2,000 soldiers, how could he resist the 30,000 horses of the enemy country?

"Viscount Jace, we still have a week to prepare, and we can transfer food, grass and soldiers from the surrounding area. A marquis said faintly, "Why do you want to shake the hearts of the army at this time?"

"That's right, Viscount Jace, what if the cavalry of the Kunlan Kingdom has infiltrated and the king is intercepted when he moves south?" another marquis criticized, "You are too young to allow you to talk nonsense in such a big event!"

Viscount Jace felt aggrieved.

He said angrily: "You people are in high positions, but you can't share the worries of the king, it's really a waste of money!"

The marquis were angry.

"Viscount Jace, today's kingdom was fought by our family's ancestors with the founding king, where was your ancestor then?"

"Do you want to doubt our loyalty?"

The marquis all had their own majesty, and Viscount Jace's momentum was suppressed.

"I didn't mean that. He tilted his head, his eyes glinting with disgust.

The king sat on it, and his heart was troubled.

He himself wanted and was willing to move south.

Regardless of whether the royal capital can be defended or not, it is very unsafe to stay in the royal capital, in case the Kunlan Kingdom directly sends sharp soldiers to raid the palace, won't he be cold?

There will definitely be no danger of moving south, and when they get to the south, they will be able to cultivate their business for a while, and then fight back when their vitality is restored.

Whatever swears to defend the king is!

How can you defend the royal capital when you die?

However, now that the powerful are all opposed to moving south, he has no way to explain his decision to move south.

The courtiers are so strong, he is a dignified king, doesn't he even have the determination to live and die with the king?

Jace, the only one who had a heart in touch with him, had just been suppressed.

The king is troubled!

Why didn't these ministers find out in the past?

"I'm also against moving south. ”

A young voice came from outside the main hall.

The king looked up.

The god of lights is coming!

The dignitaries and nobles in the palace looked at the door in unison.

I saw a man covered in colored light walking towards them.

The king was overjoyed: "What is the opinion of the lamp god?"

Gu Yang strode forward and came to the throne.

He stared at the king in silence.

The king was a little confused.

"What's the matter, Lamp God?" asked the king worriedly.

Gu Yang said slowly: "Is the chair soft?"

"Soft. The king replied subconsciously.

After two seconds, the king suddenly realized, he quickly stood up and helped Gu Yang to the chair.

Gu Yang sat in the king's position and did not feel at ease in the slightest.

He said slowly: "It's okay to move south, but definitely not now. The enemy fled before they came, how did the civilians of the kingdom think of you? After you fled, the civilians might just switch to the Kunlan Kingdom and forget about you. ”

The king was stunned, he really hadn't thought about it.

The status of civilians in this world is low.

"Don't think it doesn't matter. Gu Yang replied, "Do you think the commoners of the kingdom will be willing to help you deal with the enemy?"

Viscount Jace hesitantly replied, "Yes." ”

"Why?" asked Gu Yang.

Viscount Jace pondered for a moment and then replied, "Because the enemy will hurt them, they have to protect themselves and defend their country." ”

Gu Yang smiled and nodded: "That's right, but if you run away, the enemy won't hurt the civilians of the kingdom at all." ”

"The commoners of the kingdom do not need to protect themselves, and they naturally become the subjects of the Kunlan Kingdom. ”

"Can your kingdom be considered a kingdom without its people?"

The king fell into deep thought, and he felt that what Gu Yang said was very reasonable.

If the commoners all ran away, whose king was he?

Dozens of ministers and nobles in the main hall of the king?

"We must not flee without a fight, we must stay, we must smash the enemy's front teeth fiercely, and then flee. ”

Gu Yang said.

"But the king has no food and no soldiers, how can he defend this?" asked Viscount Jace.

Gu Yang was silent for a while and then said slowly: "I'll solve the problem of soldiers and food, King, I'll sit in this position for a few days, you can move a chair and sit down." ”

"Well, the king knows. The king nodded in agreement.

"Stand down, all of you, and I'll talk to the king alone. Gu Yang said to everyone.

The crowd came out one after another.

"Go out too. Gu Yang said to the guards and maids.

This time the main hall was completely empty, and only Gu Yang and the king were left.

The king was a little apprehensive.

Gu Yang retreated from the light around him, and he asked the king, "Are the nobles of the Kunlan Kingdom as poor as your nobles?"

The king shook his head: "The great nobles of the Kunlan Kingdom are all rich and rival the country. ”

"Then why are your nobles so poor?" Gu Yang asked with a pout.

The king pondered for a while and then replied, "They are loyal to me and have given away all their wealth. ”

Gu Yang raised his eyebrows: "How much did you donate?"

"More than twenty gold coins, this is already their entire net worth. The king affirmed.

Although Gu Yang didn't know much about the purchasing power of the gold coins in this world, he felt that it would definitely not add up to such a small amount of money for one vote of aristocrats.

Gu Yang was amused, he felt that this king was afraid that he was not mentally ill.

"What's the difference between you and other kings that can make these nobles die for you and follow you even if they make themselves so poor?"

The king was stunned, and he hesitated: "They say that I am wise and powerful, and I will meet it once in a thousand years..."

Gu Yang waved his hand again and again: "Okay, I know, where did all the money in the treasury go, don't say that you have accumulated so many generations and have not saved anything." ”

"No, we saved 12 million gold coins, but two years ago, when the Kunlan Kingdom went south, one of my dukes took the gold coins and went to sue for peace. The king sighed, "If he hadn't succeeded in suing for peace, I wouldn't have been able to wait for you." ”

The king's voice sounded quite satisfied.

Gu Yang's eyes widened: "Who wouldn't lose money! If you want me to go! 6 million will be solved!"

The king was stunned.

Gu Yang held his forehead: "Don't say it, is there anything that can let me give an order for you?"

The king nodded, and took out a small chapter from his bosom: "You take this, you can give any order in my place." ”

Gu Yang stood up: "How many troops are there in the royal capital." ”

"There are only 2,000 royal capital guards, and 1,000 city guards. The king replied, "Now they are all stationed near the wall." ”

Gu Yang said in a deep voice: "You find someone who is familiar with the royal capital for me, and you don't have to worry about the rest." ”

"Princess Yusa asks to see you!"
