Chapter 108: Surrender
The Celestial Empire army formed a formation in the square, just waiting for Chu Chen's order, ready to attack at any time.
"I've seen the Emperor of Chu!" Chu Chen stepped forward, came to the bottom of the steps, and bowed to the old emperor who was under the protection of heavy soldiers, this is a good emperor, he has been diligent in government and loves the people all his life, so that he has the peace of Chu for decades and the peace and contentment of the people.
"There is no enmity between my Chu State and the Heavenly Kingdom, why does the Heavenly Kingdom want to destroy my Chu State and let the people of Chu State fall into the flames of war?" Emperor Chu tried to raise his voice and asked Chu Chen, but he was short of qi and had no successor, and in the end, his voice was too quiet, if it weren't for Chu Chen's hearing being different from ordinary people, it was estimated that he would not be able to hear clearly.
"If the Emperor of Chu can still reign for ten or twenty years, my Heavenly Kingdom will naturally not attack the Chu State, but you are already in the last years of the wind and candles, and you will not live for a few days, after you go, the prince will succeed to the throne, with the ability of the prince, the Chu State will die sooner or later, it is better to fall into my hands now, as long as Your Majesty can surrender, my Heavenly Empire will naturally treat the people of Chu well, and treat the people of Chu as the people of my Heavenly Dynasty, and will never be a wind race, but if Your Majesty is unwilling to surrender, then, today, the people of the entire Wudu City will be buried for Your Majesty, the Chu State is exhausted, Your Majesty has always had a benevolent heart, and is the most diligent and loving good emperor of Chu for hundreds of years, I believe, Your Majesty will not watch the people of Chu die in vain because of His Majesty's unwillingness to surrender, right?" Chu Chen said, in fact, even if Emperor Chu did not surrender, he would not kill the people of the entire Wudu, this is just to use Emperor Chu's love for the people, if he can surrender, then there will be fewer casualties on his side, which is what he is happy to see.
"Your Majesty, we must not surrender!" An adult immediately knelt in front of Emperor Chu and begged: "We haven't lost yet, our reinforcements will be able to rush back soon!"
With the first begging, naturally there was the second, and soon all the officials knelt before the emperor.
"Kill!" Seeing that Emperor Chu was hesitating there, Chu Chen directly ordered, he didn't have so much time to delay, after all, the officials of Chu State had already sent people out to find reinforcements.
"Kill, kill!!kill !!" The army marched forward. A commander of the Chu army drew his long knife, shouted, and ordered the soldiers to attack, and in a blink of an eye, the two sides fought together, but the two sides just fought together, only to see that the soldiers of the Chu army held on for less than half a time, and they could no longer stop it, under Chu Chen's Tianchen battle array, ordinary soldiers were not opponents at all.
A scream came, and the Chu soldiers gradually retreated, leaving a large corpse on the ground, flowing with a large amount of blood.
After half a burnt incense, the army rushed up the steps and surrounded the Chu Emperor, leaving only a few hundred people from the thousands of Chu troops, panting and confronting the Chu army, but they no longer dared to step forward and fight.
"Emperor Chu, one last chance, do you want to watch the soldiers die for you?" Chu Chen ordered the army to suspend the attack and spoke again to persuade him to surrender.
Emperor Chu's body trembled, he was a little unsteady when he stood up, looked at the corpses all over the ground, looked at the blood gurgling on the ground, and finally sighed and said: "My Chu State surrendered, please call the army down." ”
"Alas......" There is no official persuasion, the facts have already told them that the soldiers of the Chu State cannot stop the army of the Heavenly Kingdom at all, and if they continue to fight, there is only a dead end!
The soldiers of the State of Chu put down their weapons, took off their armor, and retreated to the side.
Chu Chen walked up the steps and came to the front of Emperor Chu, his consciousness was swept away, and he couldn't help but shrink his eyes slightly, this old emperor didn't have any disease, he was actually poisoned, and this poison is also a lot of poison, and eating a little bit of poison can't kill people, but Emperor Chu has been eating this kind of poison for many years, which has led to his appearance now, skinny as wood, and the appearance of a candle in his last years.
"How is Emperor Chu's body?" Chu Chen retracted his divine sense and asked Emperor Chu.
"Terminally ill, there is no cure, as the adults say, life is short. Emperor Chu opened his mouth weakly.
"Emperor Chu is not sick, but poisoned, it seems that the crown prince wants to ascend to the throne as soon as possible and become the Ninth Five-Year Supreme of Chu State. Chu Chen smiled lightly.
"You are talking nonsense, how can I poison my father and the emperor!" As soon as he heard Chu Chen's words, the prince next to him suddenly stopped doing it, and immediately pointed at Chu Chen and shouted, but he was slapped to the ground by Liu Chuang next to him, and several teeth were removed.
"Presumptuous!, Mr. said that what you poisoned is what you poisoned!" Liu Chuang shouted.
"If Emperor Chu doesn't believe it, he can call the imperial doctor to do a blood test. Chu Chen said lightly.
After Chu Chen finished speaking, he walked to the main hall and sat on the dragon chair in the main hall, not long after, the Chu Emperor, the crown prince and the civil and military officials of the Chu State also entered the palace, at this time, several imperial doctors have already given the Chu Emperor a blood test, not long after, several blood test of the imperial doctor have the results, indeed as Chu Chen said, the Chu Emperor is really poisoned, although this poison does not kill people at once, but long-term eating must be the result of death.
"If the deity is not mistaken, Emperor Chu has always only let one imperial doctor diagnose your illness, so the prince bought this imperial doctor. Chu Chen sat on the dragon chair and said with a light smile.
"What the adults said is not wrong, the emperor actually raised such an unfilial son, this is the sky is going to kill my Chu country, the sky is going to kill my Chu country!" Chu Huang looked up to the sky and screamed, after a few sounds, he was angry and attacked, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and then the whole person fell straight down, but fortunately, he was hugged by a personal eunuch next to him, so he did not fall to the ground.
"Old man, you can't die yet. Chu Chen got up, walked in front of Emperor Chu with an arrow, and then raised his hand, quickly connected the dots on him, sealed his seven meridians and eight veins, and let the poisonous blood in his body no longer flow, and then, took out a small porcelain bottle from his body, poured out a pill and fed it into Emperor Chu's mouth.
"Lock up the crown prince and the imperial doctor first, and let Emperor Chu deal with it after Emperor Chu wakes up. Chu Chen said.
"Liu Chuang, send an order to go down, search the entire palace, send someone to appease the people, and in addition, call your brother into the palace. Chu Chen said to Liu Chuang again, he is too lazy to take care of the affairs of this palace, first arrest the people, and let Liu Hao enter the palace to deal with it.
"Yes, sir!" Liu Chuang immediately ordered the soldiers to invite his eldest brother into the palace.
About half an hour later, the Emperor of Chu woke up, and Chu Chen asked him to issue an edict, from now on, the state of Chu will return to the kingdom of heaven, and the ministers and people of Chu must not disobey, and the holy decree will soon be taken out of the palace by the officials of the state of Chu to announce the decree in person.
After a busy night, after dawn, after breakfast, Chu Chen took Zhao Ling'er and a group of soldiers out of the palace, and the affairs of the palace were handled by Liu Hao, Shi Xuan and others, and he didn't bother to worry about it.
"Childe, where are we going?" Zhao Ling'er asked a little puzzled after leaving the palace.
"Where else can I go? to see my mother, of course. Chu Chen smiled and said, he didn't take good care of his mother in his previous life, and in this life, he will never let his mother suffer half a grievance!
