After the rebel army assembled in Yuzhou entered the Zhili area, it did not encounter any resistance along the way, and the direction to Kyoto seemed to be a smooth road.

After the rebel army took some towns, they learned from local officials that Emperor Qin Yu ordered the Zhili forbidden army to go north to Huya Pass.

When the information was reported to the top of the rebel army, the main battle faction led by Zhao Qinghe was a little surprised.

"Could it be that the emperor really wants to be the king of the dead country?"

Many people have such doubts in their hearts.

But this can't slow down the advance of the rebel army, after all, there are not many such God-given opportunities, and if Qin Yu changes his mind, they will have to suffer a lot.

In this way, the rebel army and the peasant army, which had not had much hope of entering Kyoto, marched all the way to Kyoto.

At this time, the outside of Kyoto was already densely packed with rebel armies of all kinds.

As had always been the case, it seemed that the peasant rebel army had been able to reach the capital as effortlessly as it had now, and now everything had become a reality.

Although tens of thousands of rebel troops suppressed the outside of Kyoto, it was not easy to take Kyoto based on the quality of the soldiers and weapons and equipment of the rebel army besieging the city.

Prior to this, Emperor Qin Yu had traded a large number of cannons and a batch of earthen mines from Yangcheng County.

Looking at the cannon condescendingly placed between the walls on the castle tower, it is difficult not to be frightened by the black hole barrel.

When these rebel armies fought against the forbidden army in Xiao Jiu and the Zhili area, they had more or less seen the power of artillery, so although the city was besieged at this time, the army was all stationed in a distant position and did not act rashly.

In the Imperial City of Kyoto, the main hall used for court meetings on weekdays was having a heated discussion at this time, and Qin Yu did not stop them from letting them speak freely.

For these Great Xia officials in Kyoto, Qin Yu had already seen through their faces, and now they unanimously advised Qin Yu to transfer troops from Huya Pass to relieve the siege of Kyoto, more for himself.

And Qin Yu's eyes skimmed over their faces with different expressions one by one, but he didn't make a sound with a cold face.

Since ascending the throne, Qin Yu has been compromising and retreating on thin ice, but the current situation is still not optimistic or even fragmented.

Qin Yu has never been a weak person, and he also understands the truth of being able to bend and stretch, but this time he doesn't want to retreat.

After everyone in the hall was tired of talking and the crowd gradually quieted down, Qin Yu cleared his throat and began to speak.

Qin Yu, who had always turned a deaf ear to the courtier's exhortations before, responded loudly at this time, and everyone's eyes looked at the emaciated young man on the dragon chair.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this time the thief army is besieging the city, the Rong clan is knocking, and the smoke is everywhere, in the will of heaven, in my Qin Yu, and even more in you.

But since I ascended the throne, everything I have done has been peaceful.

I want you to know that we have a skin enmity with the rebel army of thieves, just because they are all people of Great Xia.

But the Rong people outside the tiger teeth, at that time, the heart of the trouble, if the foreign race is allowed to enter the customs, the country will not be a country, and what face will be seen by the ancestors and ancestors. ”

Listening to Qin Yu's generous statement, the military generals in the audience showed shame on their faces, and unconsciously lowered their heads.

Qin Yu said how they didn't know, but now the siege of the rebel army really made them a little frightened.

At the end of the day, they were still worried that after the rebel army broke through Kyoto, they, who had a huge amount of money in the imperial court, would be treated as lambs to the slaughter.

Among them, a few ministers with fat and treacherous faces wanted to step forward and persuade again, but Qin Yu, who was noticed, was forced to retreat directly with his eyes.

"After today, don't talk about transferring troops from Jingbei again, violators of the order should be like this."

After saying that, Qin Yu directly took out the matching sword on his waist and directly cut off a corner of the wooden table, and everyone in the hall was in an uproar, and then fell into a deathly silence.

Now Qin Yu has no intention of transferring troops back from Huya Pass, and they, the ministers of the court, can only stand with Qin Yu to defend the city together.

If the rebels outside the city were allowed to invade the city, they would be the first to suffer except for the fall of the kingdom.

In addition, since the siege of Kyoto Castle by the rebels, there was a curfew in the city, and it was difficult for anyone in the city to send news to the rebels outside.

Just after many people left the palace hall of the court meeting one after another, Li Li, the right ruler of Great Xia, and his concubine son Li Yi were left in the palace.

In the palace hall, Qin Yu was a little tired and sat on the dragon chair, and Li Li and Li Yi stood respectfully in the audience.

"Master Li, now that Kyoto is under siege, what do you think?"

The hoarse voice slowly came out of Qin Yu's mouth, and Li Li frowned and thought about it when he heard this.

Since the situation in Qingzhou got out of control, he, the right ruler of Great Xia from Qingzhou, was put aside like a mascot, and he did not have the power that really belonged to the first rank in his hands.

Now that Qin Yu was left alone with himself and his eldest son, Li Li didn't know whether Qin Yu wanted to consider them or if he had any other ideas.

As if seeing Li Li's caution, Qin Yu continued, "Master Li doesn't need to be nervous, although you are from Qingzhou, I am not a person who does not distinguish between right and wrong. ”

After saying that, Qin Yu waved his hand and motioned for Li Li to step forward, and Li Li respectfully moved a few steps forward after receiving the signal.

"Now that Kyoto is trapped, the subversion of Great Xia is only in an instant, although I am the emperor of Great Xia, I also have my own suffering."

"Now that the border Rong clan is knocking, they are our real enemies, even if the rebels besieging Kyoto set up a new dynasty, the Central Plains is also the world of the people of Great Xia."

"If the Rong clan is allowed to enter the customs, then the country will really be a country, and I will not dare to be a sinner for this eternal, even if I abandon the ancestral inheritance."

Listening to Qin Yu's calm tone and a series of frustrating words, Li Li knew that Qin Yu was ready to live and die with Kyoto, and wanted to comfort the other party a few words, but he didn't know what to say.

In the end, he was silent for a long time, and Li Li only squeezed out a sentence of the emperor in his mouth, and there was nothing else.

And Qin Yu looked at the father and son who were behaving cautiously in front of him, and bowed his head slightly before he began to explain the reason for leaving them.

"I don't know if Kyoto can be defended, and I don't know if this Great Xia will be wiped out from the Central Plains and become a thing of the past.

There are no dynasties in the world that will last forever, and Great Xia is no exception, but in addition to being an emperor, I am also a father.

If the city of Kyoto is broken, I hope you can take the crown prince, don't tell him who I am, he is no longer the prince of Great Xia, let him live as an ordinary person.

I'm not a good emperor, I'm not a good father, and now I can rely on your father and son. ”

After that, Qin Yu got up and arched his hand towards Li Li and his son, Li Li and his son naturally did not dare to accept this big gift, and knelt down in fear, which can be regarded as agreeing to Qin Yu's request.

This matter is related to the lifeblood of the Great Xia royal family, Li Li did not dare to be careless, and said a few words of comfort, hoping that Qin Yu would not make a decision too early.

After all, in any previous dynasty, no emperor would say this when assigning ministers to orphans.

The monarch and ministers talked for a while, and Li Li saw that Qin Yu had made up his mind, so he began to deliberate on the details of this matter.

You must know that the current Great Xia has long been full of wolf smoke, how can you get out of the situation that Kyoto is under siege now? Where can you go after leaving?

Listening to Li Li's questions one by one, Qin Yu seemed to have a plan in his heart, and continued to answer for Li Li in that hoarse voice.

"In three days, I will send twenty palace guards to send your family out of Kyoto through the secret passage, and after you go out, you will go all the way east along the river to Yangcheng County, don't forget that you still have a son-in-law there."

Listening to Qin Yu's slightly relaxed tone, Li Li and his son knew that Qin Yu must have made a plan before, presumably the secret passage to the outside of Kyoto had already been excavated.

The only thing that surprised Li Li was that he didn't expect Qin Yu to take such a fancy to Xiao Jiu, and at the last moment, he let himself take the young prince out of the city to avoid trouble.

Whether Li Li admits it or not, his cheap son-in-law Xiao Jiu is no longer the same, in this era when a soldier is a king, only by following such a person can he be safe.

Li Li and his son Li Yi walked out of the imperial palace with heavy steps, and they were speechless on the way back, not knowing what was going on in their hearts.

And Qin Yu in the palace looked at the back of the Li family's father and son, and suddenly felt a little relieved in his heart.

Qin Yu walked out of the heavy and solemn gate of the Imperial City Palace, looking at the sky that was gradually shrouded in dim light and was silent.

His shadow stretched long with the waning sun in the west, and the emaciated figure, draped in a broad cloak, was swaying in the evening breeze.

Qin Yu really wanted to be a good emperor, but the declining Great Xia had reached the end of the dynasty, and everything would start again when the countdown was over.

……

Three days later, Li Li's family was ordered by Qin Yu to be taken to the imperial city, and met the one-year-old prince and the crying queen in the study.

Twenty strong palace guards gathered in the study with expressionless faces, all of them with extremely resolute expressions on their faces, obviously all of them were elite dead soldiers secretly cultivated by Qin Yu.

Before sending Li Li's family and the prince away, Qin Yu called Li Li behind the screen alone to discuss for a long time, as for what he said to Li Li, no one knows, only that after walking out of the screen, Qin Yu took Li Li's hand and gently patted the back of his hand.

In sincere fear, Li Yi's princess and wife took the baby from the queen's arms, and the queen who was sobbing in a low voice was also comforted softly by Qin Yu in her arms.

Then Li Li's family and the one who undertook this escort entered the secret passage, before entering the secret passage, Li Li glanced back at Qin Yu, and Emperor Qin Yu also waved his hand in response.

After all the personnel entered the secret passage, Emperor Qin Yu sent back the empress who was sobbing in a low voice, and issued a cruel slaughter order to the palace people and eunuchs who knew about it with a cold face.

In order not to leak the news, except for a few guards who are closest to him, there is no one alive.

And just when Li Li's family evacuated Kyoto with the young prince from the secret passage, the fierce siege battle also began.
