Chapter 962: The End
It was very easy for Xu Dongling to recognize the Li State as the suzerain.
Just touch the skin up and down, demote the Dongling Emperor to the king, collect tribute every year, and point fingers, and even don't have to worry about management.
But for Liguo, it's not a good thing.
First of all, Dongling borders Jingzhong, and there is some collusion.
If the land that was promised to Jingzhong is ceded to the past, the entire Dongling will become the bag of Jingzhong.
It is equivalent to their battle in vain, which is equivalent to making a wedding dress for Jingzhong.
And the young emperor of the Li Kingdom was smart, at a young age, when facing Li Shang, he knew how to be obscure, disguised as playful and ignorant, and finally fought back with a blow, a fatal blow.
It would be a great danger for such a person to stay, let alone give him another throne and a country.
Chonghua didn't want to leave such a strong rival for Li Guo and Yuanzi.
Therefore, he will never agree to Dongling's request.
"It's okay to surrender, it's okay to want to live, but it's impossible to continue to be king." Chonghua coldly rejected Emperor Zhenjin's request: "Surrender before Shen Shi, and don't wait for it." ”
Emperor Sumire's face is colorless and crumbling, can't she even do this?
If you can't keep the throne, you can't keep Dongling, and you put your life and safety in the hands of others, so what are you going to do if you surrender?
It's better to fight to the death, defend the country to the death, and die for the country.
Her expression turned pale, and she smiled reluctantly: "Can you be forgiving some time and wait for me to go back and discuss with our Majesty?" ”
Chonghua listened to her tone and guessed the result, in order not to let the people of Dongling know about his plan and let the battle be a little better, he said lightly: "It can't be more than the morning after tomorrow at the latest." ”
The morning after tomorrow? So the decisive battle is just around the corner, right?
Emperor Masumi picked up her cloak, wrapped it tightly around her body, and staggered out of the tent.
The scorching sun was shining, but she felt extremely cold.
She walked outside, saw Chonghua in gold armor and black clothes, remembered the young man who was depressed and indifferent, beautiful and silent a few years ago, and smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, why don't you have a beard?" ”
According to the customs of various countries, most men will grow beards after they are in their twenties, especially those in high positions like Chonghua, who will look more old and majestic when they grow beards earlier.
Yes, her imperial brother has grown a beard since he succeeded to the throne, but Chonghua has always been like this, his face is always fresh and clean, and he basically can't see stubble.
Chonghua subconsciously raised his hand and touched his chin, and replied to her seriously: "Because my senior brother has never grown a beard, I can't be older than him." ”
He Rongyi has never grown a beard and looks very young all the time.
If he has a beard, he will look older than He Lingyi, and he is not happy.
I don't want Zhong Weiwei to feel that he is not as young as He Lingyi, even if he is not as good as him.
"Your Majesty and the Empress are really in love." Emperor Zhenjin understood what Chonghua meant, lost her mind for a moment, and then laughed.
Born in the emperor's family, there is no blessing, and it is just as pitiful and miserable, I really envy Zhong Weiwei.
Not everyone can come to the bitter end, more from the beginning to the end, or like her, first sweet and then bitter.
That's fate.
Emperor Jin held her head high and headed towards the capital.
Since you can't survive, then you will fight to the death, no longer have to grovel, even if it is the last moment, you must maintain the majesty of the Tanglin Emperor.
Chonghua urgently convened a military meeting, and tonight's attack was half an hour earlier, and any delay would lead to more casualties.
The high suspension bridge was lowered, and Emperor Masumire and her party walked into it.
The urn city was cool and refreshing, and she cried bitterly.
The Queen Mother and the Young Emperor, as well as the clan and ministers, all gathered together, waiting for her news, and seeing her face full of tears, they all understood.
The Queen Mother couldn't get up in one breath, her eyes rolled up, and she fainted.
The young emperor tilted his head, and after receiving an affirmative answer from her, he softly ordered everyone: "Spread the decree, prepare to fight to the death tonight." ”
The prince said: "For several days, the soldiers guarding the city have been guarding day and night, and they are very tired. Since the people of Liguo said that they could not exceed the morning after tomorrow at the latest, it means that the time of their general attack is probably the day after tomorrow.
If there is no battle tonight, it will only make everyone more tired, which is not conducive to the decisive battle in the future. It's better to let everyone take this opportunity to seize the time to rest, and then go all out to meet the enemy. ”
He is the general who leads the troops, and many people believe his words and echo him: "It seems, yes." ”
The young emperor glared angrily: "Who are you listening to?" Who is the emperor? ”
Because of Li Shang's matter, the palace was a little shorter, and he didn't dare to say much, so he responded, but he conveyed the meaning when he went out of the palace gate, His Majesty was young and didn't know about military affairs, so he should listen to the words of experienced generals.
So, that night, the Dongling people withdrew half of the defending army, replaced these people to rest, and brought out good wine and good r, and encouraged the army to prepare for the decisive battle the day after tomorrow. The soldiers who stayed behind to defend also had delicious food.
Affected by this, the entire capital is filled with the idea that "the people of Liguo will not attack the capital tonight, if it is also the day after tomorrow, they can sleep well tonight".
Of course, these things are hidden from the young emperor and Zhen Jin and others, even if the young emperor is not at ease halfway, when asked several times, everyone replied that they were ready, please rest assured.
The young emperor asked to inspect the city, and everyone was coaxing and concealing, they all felt that the little emperor was ignorant, he was thinking about the country, and he had a clear conscience.
When the young emperor stood at the head of the city and looked at the Li ** camp from afar, the prime minister even told him: "Look, the people of Li have not moved at all, and if they want to attack, they will already have some changes." We also have a lot of money to buy nails in the alliance of all countries, and they all say that they have not received any news, so your majesty can rest assured. ”
The young emperor left in silence and returned to the palace, accompanied by Zhen Jin, kneeling in the temple for half the night, praying for the blessing of the ancestors.
He knew that praying to the dead was useless, but he couldn't find any other way.
In the middle of the night, a high-pitched trumpet blows, and a fire bomb dropped by a trebuchet lights up the night sky.
The sound of fighting resounded throughout the capital, and even the temple was not quiet.
The news of the loss came one after another, and the young emperor lost his soul, and after learning that his strict order was tampered with by Yang Fengyi, he laughed three times: "The sky is going to die in Dongling!" ”
If he hadn't been a young child, wouldn't these people have listened to him?
If he had been given a little more chance to prove that he was young but not a mediocre man, these people would probably be more willing to listen to him.
Unfortunately, he didn't have that chance and luck.
Emperor Zhenjin was dressed in a military uniform and carried a sword: "I'll send Your Majesty away, as long as you live, there is hope." ”
She began to prepare as soon as she returned to the palace, and carefully selected a group of agile and loyal warriors, which now came in handy.
