In the magnificent palace, the man looked at the battle report for a long time and did not say a word.

Another city was broken, and from the beginning of the war to the present, they have been defeated and retreated, and finally won back two, and now they have lost all of them.

"If you fight again, send people again, I won't believe it, and the northern country is willing to pay for the entire border for a corpse!" The man has a hideous face and has completely lost his mind.

None of His Highnesses responded, and the old ministers looked at each other and shook their heads.

"Are you deaf, I said to fight again!" Slapping his palm on the table, Helian Yan was like an angry beast, "Beiguo must be lying, Shen Mu may not be dead at all, they must be intentional." ”

There were people at the bottom who couldn't help but reply, "What do the people in the north want Shen Mu to do, Your Majesty thinks that everyone in the world has taken a fancy to Shen Mu just like you, so he doesn't hesitate to lose the entire country and society, but also to keep people?" ”

"Your Majesty, wake up!" The old minister persuaded bitterly, and there was a sound of reconsideration all around.

"Wake up, Your Majesty!"

Helian Yan walked over and pulled the man up by the collar, gritted his teeth and said, "Why can't I compensate for Shen Mu, do you think Shen Mu is unworthy?" ”

"In my heart, he's better than any of you!"

The old minister trembled, wanted to break free but didn't dare, so he could only look at him like this, angry and helpless.

Someone next to him couldn't see it, and choked directly, "If Your Majesty likes it, go and fight it yourself, anyway, no one in the court is willing to work for you anymore, the princes of Zhou Youwang Fenghuo Opera are laughed at by the world, that is still a normal hero sad beauty pass, what is this, Your Majesty, for a face, or a face with bad deeds and no benefit to Yu Xiliang, Lord Lu was also exiled by you, and now I don't know whether it is life or death in the battlefield, you are like this, we don't care." ”

"Yes, yes, no matter."

As soon as everyone spread their hands, they all left the picks and stopped.

The old minister who was being held by him continued, his tone choked, full of tears, "The old minister has been an official for twenty years, and he thinks that he has seen all the winds and waves, Xiliang's prosperity has seen, and he has also seen defeat, but he has never seen a monarch so absurd, Your Majesty, the northern country is prosperous, and occupies the hub, isn't it good for us to be reciprocal, why do you have to go to war, it is a good thing that you want to recapture the city that was sent before, but everything must pay attention to opportunities and methods, and now it will only make the people's hearts lost, Your Majesty." ”

In the past, Helian Yan was indeed under the guise of seizing the city, and he also had a lot of savings in the past few years when he was friendly with the northern country, but now that Shen Mu is not by his side, everything has changed, this battle has made people angry, and these courtiers who are willing to persuade him are already loyal to the king.

"Okay, you don't go, I'll go!" As soon as the words fell, before those old ministers could speak, there was a shout outside.

"Report ...... Oh no, someone in Tianshui City has rebelled, and now they are about to attack outside Kyoto City....."

Helian Yan didn't expect that there would be internal worries in addition to external troubles, so he sat down on the chair all of a sudden.

"That's good."

"yes, what can I do?"

"Your Majesty, it is imperative to go out of the city first to avoid the limelight."

"Yes, yes, let's leave Kyoto first, Tianshui is so close to here, it won't be long before other places follow suit, then Kyoto will be besieged to death."

Those people came forward to persuade one after another, but none of them thought that their wives and children were also in Beijing.

"I know where Lord Lu is, let's go find Lord Lu, and then slowly figure out a way to call back!"

Seeing this, the person entrusted by Lu Zheng when he left no longer concealed his correspondence with the other party, and a word ignited everyone's hope.

"That's right, go find Lord Lu."

Helian Yan suddenly felt a little in a trance, these people were not good to him before, but they didn't abandon him when the disaster came, people are really strange animals, they are sometimes loyal to not a certain person, but their own hearts, they feel that they have to be responsible for the society, so they even love him and Wu, but it does not mean that they recognize Helian Yan as the emperor.

Several persuasions, all for the sake of Xiliang.

And this must be due to Lu Zheng, and only Lu Zheng is the only one who treats him as both His Majesty and a friend to protect and persuade him.

But he drove people away.

There is no sudden awakening, but if it is impossible to say that he is not moved, of course he can go his own way, but these people, they also have the people and things they want to protect the most.

A sense of powerlessness arose, with a little shame in it, Helian Yan knew that the general trend had gone, so he only said, "You run away, I won't leave." ”

"Your Majesty....."

"This is the only thing I can do, to defend the palace, to leave some dignity for myself, and to give you a chance to live." After all, if he ran away, those people would definitely chase after them, how could they give them a chance to breathe. Turning to look at the old minister kneeling on the ground, Helian Yan smiled and said, "Taifu, I know that you have always disliked me, and my favorite is my second brother, I will execute him after I ascend the throne, you have been sad for half a year and have not been to the court, and in the end Lu Zheng went to beg you." ”

"Your Majesty, the old minister....."

waved his hand, Helian Yan didn't want him to apologize, "Take the princess to find Lu Zheng, if your life is good, whether it is the revival of Xiliang, or whether it is to fight with the northern country into jade silk, it is all your business." ”

Turning back to the table and picking up a pen, Helian Yan wrote down the last holy decree of this life, and then stamped it with a big seal.

"Feng Luzheng is the minister of Zaifu, and he will do state affairs on behalf of the princess until the princess reaches adulthood." Entrusting the things and the jade seal to the Taifu, Helian Yan asked someone to bring the child who had just been born.

He barely hugged his daughter, and never even thought he would have one.

Yunru died in childbirth, and now the child is only carried by the nurse, Helian Yan remembered that he was a child, and said, "Go to the prison to bring out the sinner and hand over the princess to her, she will treat the princess well." ”

Seeing that he had explained everything, Taifu suddenly cried, "Your Majesty...."

"Alright, don't be pitiful, get out."

Drive those people away, Helian Yan stayed alone in the main hall, he suffered all the hardships of the world in the first half of his life, and finally found a trace of warmth in the second half of his life, which was also a flash in the pan.

"All living beings are suffering, as long as they live, there will always be times when they can't be sincere." Touching the dragon chair, the corners of the man's mouth smirked, whether it was himself or the people around him, whether it was the supreme emperor or the powerful courtier, there were times when there was nothing to be done, what he wanted to do couldn't be done, and the people he wanted to protect couldn't protect him.

However, he finally did not lose the righteousness of being a brother to Lu Zheng in his life. As for Shen Mu, the two can't be together when they're alive, it's always okay to be dead, Lu Zheng understands himself, and he will definitely find a way to bury the bodies of the two in one place.

"Amu, I'm coming to accompany you."
