Chapter 381 is overwhelming
"You have killed three thousand of my Silver Feather Knights, and you have also killed many innocent Li people. The Holy Emperor said solemnly: "For the sake of one's own selfishness, it is not me who cares about the lives of innocent people, but you." Prince Zhong, you might as well think about it, after I ascended the throne, I did not make a big deal against you because you were against me in the first place, but instead gave you the title of prince and entrusted you with important tasks. ”
"In the entire empire, your position is also under one person, under ten thousand, you don't know how to be grateful, and you still want to seek my throne. So ungrateful, wolf-like, if a despicable person like you were to get the throne, would it be a blessing for the people?"
"If I surrender without a fight like this, how can I be worthy of the innocent people who died under your sword? How can I be worthy of the 3,000 knights who sacrificed for the country? Therefore, I have given you permission to leave here now, and I am sure that Prince Zhong will not embarrass you. ”
As soon as the Holy Emperor's words came out, some ministers who had hoped that the Holy Emperor would take the initiative to abdicate all looked guilty. It is often said that people see people's hearts in times of crisis, and at such times, the Holy Emperor can still think of protecting their lives, which is indeed a great surprise to the ministers. Although Prince Zhong said it well, he did wield a butcher's knife and killed thousands of innocent people. Since he can kill those silver-feathered knights and those people who stand in the way, will he still show mercy to these ministers?
Everyone said that once the son of heaven was a courtier, once Prince Zhong won the world, whether they could keep the black yarn on their heads, it would be a question mark. Even the most basic lives may not be saved, especially those who are on the side of the enemy or have always been neutral.
Song Li has always been a cold watcher, he thinks, it is no wonder that Prince Zhong will lose in the incident of seizing the heir, he is indeed not as scheming as Song Xingtian. Especially on such an occasion, a few words from the Holy Emperor gathered people's hearts. From this point of view, Prince Zhong is indeed not an opponent of the Holy Emperor.
"My people, please go home now, close your doors and windows, and don't go out for activities. Good luck. Song Xingtian was full of anger, and his voice spread far away.
......The frightened citizens woke up like a dream, seeing that a war was about to start, and they were unarmed, didn't they stay on the battlefield to seek death? His Majesty the Holy Emperor reminded them of this, and everyone rushed in the direction of home without their lives. In this case, the rebels naturally did not stop them, and with a wave of Prince Zhong's hand, the soldiers moved out of the way and let the people leave the square.
All of a sudden, the sound of calling for the mother came and went, and the crowd retreated like crazy to the outside of the square, and it didn't take long for it to disperse. When fleeing for their lives, everyone hated their father and mother for having a few legs. Of course, in the panic, many people were pushed down by the crowd and could no longer stand up, and countless people were injured and killed by the stampede. But in such a situation, no one cares so much.
"The battle is imminent, if you are willing to leave, please transfer safely, and if you are willing to protect the imperial city with me, please follow me into the city. His Majesty the Holy Emperor shouted violently: "Although most of the army in the imperial capital is in the hands of the enemy chieftain, my local military strength of the Holy Lion Empire still has a million people, and I have already sent out the news that they may rush to the aid of the Beijing Division at any time." As long as we can hold the imperial city for a day, when the reinforcements arrive, we will be able to kill the rebels without leaving a single piece of armor. ”
When many ministers and nobles heard the Holy Emperor say this, they were immediately pardoned. They left their positions one after another and withdrew along the foot of the imperial city under the protection of the guards.
These people are either greedy for life and afraid of death, or they are not ready to participate in this kind of ******** "soy sauce party" and "neutral faction" at all. After the rebellion, no matter who wins or loses, Lao Tzu still eats and drinks spicy food. Could it be that after the change of the Holy Emperor, there is no need for ministers to handle government affairs?
For these ministers or nobles who left, Prince Zhong had no intention of stopping them. If he offends people so badly, even if he wins the country, he will always have to mix in the Holy Lion City, right? If the nobles and the common people hate you, even if you hold the supreme power, I am afraid that it will take a lot of trouble to get along with it.
Anyway, his target is the Holy Emperor, and he is not interested in these little shrimps, he can leave if he likes to go, and he will stay if he loves to stay.
What annoyed him was that the Holy Emperor seemed to have won a lot of hearts by relying on his last performance of hypocrisy and righteousness. Whether it is the common people or the nobles, I am afraid that I will be grateful to the Holy Emperor. And the "virtuous king", who has always had a good reputation among the government and the opposition, has established the impression of an "executioner" at a critical moment, which has to be said to be a wonderful irony.
Of course, there were also many ministers who stayed behind and faced the national disaster with the Holy Emperor. Among them, most of them are the forces led by the Ming Palace, and some of them are the hardcore descendants of the Holy Emperor. If they also flee like the rest of the soy sauce party, then whoever wins the mutiny will end badly.
If Prince Zhong sits on the throne, the remnants of these former Holy Emperors will definitely be purged, and none of them will be able to escape. If the Holy Emperor succeeds in retaining the throne, these guys who escape will also be punished. In that case, it is better to stay with the Holy Emperor and gamble.
A group of golden-feathered knights advanced in an orderly manner from both sides of the high platform, their footsteps were uniform, "knock knock knock", like a drum beating on everyone's hearts, the golden feathers on their helmets fluttered gently in the breeze, and the dark golden armor emitted a chilling light in the sunlight. Known as the "elite of the elite", the sharpest Imperial City Guards in the imperial capital have finally been dispatched.
Under the leadership of the officer, the five thousand iron cavalry quickly occupied the open space in front of the high platform, and confronted the rebels of Prince Zhong, although the enemy troops on the opposite side were several times their number, but the momentum of the five thousand people was not weaker than the rebels on the opposite side.
Under the escort of the Golden Feather Knight, the Holy Emperor led a group of ministers to quickly move towards the Imperial City. A moment later, the high platform was empty, and the Holy Emperor and the others stood on top of the imperial tower, condescendingly watching the situation in the square.
King Kangjun, who was behind Prince Zhong, couldn't help but sigh. They've missed the best of times. When the Holy Emperor and the ministers were still on the high platform, it was the best time to attack. If Prince Zhong is ruthless enough, with an order, ten thousand arrows will be fired, and I believe that the Holy Emperor has become a hedgehog. As long as the Holy Emperor falls, Prince Zhong will become the new Holy Emperor as a matter of course, and none of Song Xingtian's sons can become a climate. Even if someone wants to support them, these people are mud that they can't hold up.
However, Prince Zhong still has concerns. Under the chaotic arrows, the Holy Emperor was certainly dead, but the civil and military ministers, princes and nobles on the high platform were also not spared. These people are the mainstay of the empire, and if you kill all these people, it is estimated that it will be more difficult for Prince Zhong to sit on the throne safely.
You must know that there are huge forces standing behind these people, and if you kill them, these people's old protégés, loyal friends, slaves, and even the army in charge will definitely stand up and play with you. When that time really comes, I am afraid that the throne that Prince Zhong has just snatched will soon change hands. Be ruthless to the people of Limin, under normal circumstances, it is not a big problem, if you provoke these nobles and lords to be dissatisfied, then your throne will not last long.
It can be said that the Holy Emperor is under the protection of these people. If it weren't for this, Prince Zhong would have ordered ten thousand arrows to be fired a long time ago, could he wait until now? At this moment, the Holy Emperor and the others had retreated into the imperial city, and it would not be so easy to hurt him again. After all, the Imperial City's protective facilities are the strongest in the Empire. In addition, there is also the guardian circle left by the Holy Ancestor, if you want to break through the imperial city and enter the palace, I am afraid it will take a lot of trouble.
For Prince Zhong, this is also something that cannot be helped. After all, he didn't come to destroy everything, but to take over the empire. With such a purpose, it is inevitable that we will be hindered in our actions.
However, with the support of 150,000 troops behind him, Prince Zhong has nothing to fear. In his heart, this country already belongs to him, and the difference is that it still needs to take some effort.
The Imperial City Praetorian Guard is very strong in combat, but no matter how powerful they are, they are invincible with two fists and four hands, and the Holy Emperor vainly wants to rely on these 30,000 golden feather iron horsemen to keep the throne, which is really too naïve.
Prince Zhong originally hoped that the Holy Emperor could see the situation clearly, and it would be best to take the initiative to abdicate. However, the old boy of the Holy Emperor still wants to resist stubbornly in this situation, and it seems that he is extremely greedy for the throne under his ass. In this case, Prince Zhong felt that there was nothing to be polite to him. Beat him until he was served, beat him until he fell to his knees and begged for mercy, and there was a high-sounding excuse to put him to death. That's not a bad result, either.
If he really surrenders, in order to keep his promise, won't Prince Zhong really want to make him a prince and let him enjoy glory and wealth? Keeping such a confidant in a big trouble has always made people feel at ease, who knows when he will make a comeback? ******** must not be soft-hearted, and cutting the grass and eradicating the root is always the safest way. (http://.)。 When the Holy Emperor ascended the throne, if he cut down the grass and eradicated Prince Zhong, how could he have the opportunity to come to the city and force the Holy Emperor to abdicate?
"Second Emperor Brother, since you are obsessed and have to drag so many people to be buried with you, then the king has no choice but to accompany you. Prince Zhong's long sword stretched out diagonally, pointing in the direction of the Holy Emperor, and said loudly, "My warriors, are your swords sharpened?"
"Pros. The soldiers behind him agreed loudly, and the shouts of tens of thousands of people shook the roof tiles, and the momentum was amazing.
"Good. Then rush forward and cut off the heads of your enemies. Prince Zhong swung his sword sharply.
"Kill. Kill. Kill. The soldiers roared in anger and murderous rage.
The three thousand heavy armored cavalry rushed out in an instant like a fierce tiger out of the gate. The knight on the horse, wielding his heavy weapon, roared and rushed towards the golden-feathered knight on the opposite side. The hooves roared, and the entire imperial city seemed to tremble a few times under the iron hooves.
