The shouts of tens of thousands of people were like a tsunami in the mountains, and the waves were deafening, and the civil and military ministers and wealthy gentry on the high platform were basically colorless. 【】(Starter)

The Holy Emperor was still standing in the midst of the sound, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, he no longer looked at his younger brother, but turned his head to the left high platform, the position of Wei Guo Gong Li Wei and his younger brother Count Li Weikang, and said lightly: "My Wei Guo Gong, since your army participated in the rebellion, it means that you also betrayed me, right?"

The Imperial Central Army, the City Guards and the Guards were all involved in the massacre and rebellion, and at present, His Majesty the Holy Emperor only has 30,000 Golden Feather Iron Cavalry to rely on, even if the Golden Feather Knight's combat power is strong, 30,000 against 150,000, the huge numerical disadvantage is irreparable. No matter which way you look at it, the Holy Emperor is at an absolute disadvantage. The vast majority of the civil and military ministers and wealthy nobles on the high platform felt that the Holy Emperor was probably really going to end this time.

Duke Levi has been standing with his hands in his hands, he faced the emperor proudly, and his tone was calm: "Your Majesty, the minister does not want to betray you, but from the beginning, I have already chosen the camp. The ancestors of the Li family have a training, and the descendants of the Li family must be loyal to their beliefs. Every descendant of the Li family regards this sentence as the supreme creed. ”

When the princes were vying for the throne, Duke Levi was in the camp of Prince Zhong. It's just that after Song Xingtian ascended the throne, he still did his job conscientiously. After hundreds of years of accumulation, the Li family's power in the army is intertwined. In almost every army, up to the central army, down to the local troops, among the officers at all levels, there are protégés of Wei Guogong, and even if the Holy Emperor knows that the people of the Li family are not of the same mind as him, there is no way to drive him out of the army.

The second elite central force of the imperial capital, the Wangcheng Guards, was firmly in the hands of the Duke of Wei from beginning to end. Since the Holy Emperor ascended the throne, there has been basically no contact between Levi and Prince Zhong, and it seems that he has gradually fallen to the side of the Holy Emperor.

100,000 city guards, plus 50,000 guards, eighty percent of the imperial capital's troops are in the hands of Prince Zhong, where is the Holy Emperor alive?

Originally, I thought that Prince Zhong had been forced by the Holy Emperor to have no way out, but I didn't expect that he had been forbearing. At such a moment of exhaustion, he can truly understand how terrifying the forces he has managed in the government and the opposition for more than ten years are.

Strangely, the Holy Emperor was not panicked by this, his expression was still calm.

"For the sake of my own beliefs, I can be disloyal to the king, can I understand it like that?" the Holy Emperor's eyes narrowed.

"Your Majesty, in the hearts of the ministers, the real king should be the loyal prince. Duke Levi replied calmly.

His meaning is very clear, it's not that I'm not loyal to the king, it's just that I don't treat you as the king.

The Holy Emperor nodded, didn't say anything more, his eyes swept over Wei Guogong's face, stared at Count Li Weikang behind him, and said coldly: "My Earl, what about you? You are my classmate, and I have treated you well since I was a child. After I ascended the throne, I also handed over part of the royal family's property to you to take care of. Excuse me, is there anything I'm sorry for you?"

Count Li Weikang smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, you have nothing to be sorry for me. You have always been nice to me. ”

"In that case, why did you betray me?" the Holy Emperor asked lightly.

"Blood is thicker than water, and I have always been a member of the Li family. Li Weikang didn't dare to look into the eyes of the Holy Emperor, his face was full of guilt.

"It seems that you are not a qualified Li family. Because your Li family has ancestral teachings, you must be loyal to your beliefs. But instead of being true to your heart's convictions, you are loyal to your bloodline. The Holy Emperor snorted lightly.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Weichen has never been a qualified Li family, and I can even be said to be a qualified person. The Earl said with a wry smile.

"A beautiful woman, why be a thief. The Holy Emperor's gaze swept over Li Weikang's face, and he didn't look at him anymore. This person still has a conscience, but he is on the wrong side. For the Holy Emperor, Levi's betrayal was also expected, but Li Weikang was his friend since he was a child, and the Holy Emperor treated him well, so this betrayal became even more painful.

Perhaps the supreme ruler of the empire should not have any friends in his own right.

At this moment, a dazzling light suddenly rose from the center of the palace, like lightning, piercing the sky. The sun's brilliance seemed to be slightly dim against this brilliance.

After the light, it was followed by a loud and mysterious chanting, and several explosions of thunder rang out in the clear sky, and a rainbow of light and shadows appeared in the pillars of light that soared into the sky, surrounding the imperial city. In the middle of the air, thousands of majestic and burly heavenly soldiers wearing golden armor faintly appeared, full of solemn faces, holding shining spears, guarding the sky above the imperial city.

The magnificent sight of the colorful light and the mighty heavenly soldiers shuttling back and forth made everyone forget their fears for a while, and everyone looked up at the sky at a forty-five degree angle, enjoying this rare spectacle with worship and admiration.

The Imperial City Guardian Array, which was handed down from the Holy Ancestor Era, has finally been activated.

"Hahahaha. Prince Zhong looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, and shouted: "Second Emperor Brother." Your throne is truly at the end of your seat. This king knows that you are a filial son, but you should not open this great guardian circle left by the Holy Ancestor for the sake of your mother's birthday. Don't you understand? The Holy Ancestor has a training that this magic circle can only be opened when the palace encounters a major crisis. It is a waste of resources for you to use this great array to protect the country for your own selfishness. However, you have done me a great favor by doing this, should I call you stupid, or should I thank you?"

"Oh, what do you mean by that?" the Holy Emperor remained silent, only slightly raising his eyebrows.

"To activate this large guardian array, it requires six powerhouses above the Golden Pill stage to output mana, as well as at least 10,000 Golden Feather Knights to guard the formation hub. Even if it is a huge palace, how many strong people above the Golden Pill stage can guard it? Once this magic circle is opened, it cannot be stopped casually in the middle of the process, otherwise it will cause irreparable damage to the imperial city. ”

"For at least twelve hours, those six powerhouses above the Golden Pill stage can't leave the circle, and no matter what kind of danger you encounter during this period, they can't be distracted and take care of them. This is equivalent to the loss of six Golden Pill Stage masters on your side, and at the same time, the strength of 10,000 Golden Feather Knights has been reduced. The three thousand 'Silver Feather Knights' on Liberty Square have been wiped out by our army, and the outer guards of the Imperial City have been completely wiped out. With your current 20,000 Golden Feather Knights, how can you block the encirclement of my 100,000 city guards and 50,000 guards?"

"Song Xingtian, for the sake of everyone, I will give you a chance to abdicate with dignity. If you are willing to take the initiative to announce your abdication and surrender the throne to me in public, in front of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs and the people of Limin, this king promises to guarantee the safety of your life and that of your family members, and to ensure that you enjoy glory and wealth for the rest of your life, and that your children and grandchildren will inherit the title of prince. What do you think?"

Prince Zhong's voice fell, and the civil and military ministers around the high platform look at me, I look at you, all with complicated expressions. For these ministers, who becomes the Holy Emperor has little influence on them, and who is not served? What they care about is the safety of their own lives. If the two sides really clash, the sword has no eyes, and the arrows in the sky fly wildly, as long as one of them flies to them, all the ideals and ambitions, the glory and power, all turn into a puff of green smoke and disperse.

Judging from the current situation, the Holy Emperor is indeed at an absolute disadvantage, the vast majority of the 200,000 central troops in the imperial capital have been controlled by Prince Zhong, and the strength that the Holy Emperor can rely on is only 30,000 Imperial City Janissaries, and because of the relationship between guarding the hub of the magic circle, he will lose 10,000. With a mere 20,000 golden feather knights, against the 150,000 army of Prince Zhong, where is the chance of winning?

Even if it is with the power of the guardian circle and the geographical advantage of the imperial city, it can resist for three days and two days, but in the end, the continuous effectiveness of the magic circle is limited after all, and when the magic circle is closed, how long can a lonely city and a lone army last?

Even if those local troops are still loyal to the Holy Emperor, they can enter the King of Jingqin, but the imperial capital is already surrounded by the city defense corps, and it is more difficult to send the news out than to ascend to the sky. Besides, even if the news can get out, it will take time for the local army to rush to the aid of the imperial capital, and the Northern Storm Field Legion, which is closest to the imperial capital, will travel in the form of cavalry, and it will take three days to come to the imperial capital. In three days, the imperial city would have been reduced to a pile of ruins.

Therefore, the minds of these civil and military ministers began to liven up, if the Holy Emperor could relinquish the throne, wouldn't it be a happy ending for everyone? Everyone didn't have to fight, they could reduce the casualties to a minimum, Prince Zhong also said, they could guarantee the lives of the Holy Emperor and his family members, and he also generously promised the hereditary title of prince, where to find such conditions? It's better than guarding the imperial city and resisting stubbornly, and finally the jade will be burned, right?

With this in mind, the ministers looked at the Holy Emperor with some anticipation. （http:／／.)。

The Holy Emperor suddenly let out a chuckle. The laughter was mocking, full of sarcasm.

Prince Zhong felt that the Holy Emperor could still laugh in the face of this situation, and his brain was probably stimulated.

"This is the second time you've laughed inexplicably. Prince Zhong said lightly: "Don't try to provoke me, if I am angry, your fate will be miserable." Could it be that in the current situation, you still want to keep your throne?"

"Look at the courtiers around you, how many of them are willing to be loyal to you, how many of them are willing to give their lives to protect you? I guess they must be thinking at this moment, Holy Emperor, don't be obsessed anymore, just surrender. It's good for everyone if you surrender, but if you resist, there will be more people involved. Everyone at the scene, from the princes and nobles to the ordinary people, still don't know how many people will die. Because of your greed for the throne, so many innocent people have been killed and injured, are you embarrassed?"
