Zhongzhou, Balong City.
In the Emperor's Palace, Xun Jiayuan stood in the empty and lonely hall, sighing.
From the Tianzi Hall, you can overlook the prosperity of Balong City. List of small hills.
In the past, when Xun Jiayuan looked here, he would have felt extremely ambitious.
But looking here now, he can only feel desolation.
"The situation is over."
He murmured and rolled up his sleeves: "Here comes someone."
The official waiting outside came in: "The Emperor."
Xun Jiayuan said: "How many days are left?"
"Twelve days."
"Twelve days..."
Xun Jiayuan murmured.
During this period of time, he had been waiting for changes to occur in Dongzhou. Wait for the world structure to change again so that you can take advantage of it.
But if you wait and wait, the world will be peaceful and all directions will be stable. Except for the war at the border, there was peace.
Xun Jiayuan knew that the situation was over. It has become a foregone conclusion that he is now the last emperor of the Kyushu imperial court.
No one can beat Li Zhen.
No one can compete with Li Zhen, who has unified the world after the founding of the party.
"Move to Quancheng County."
The official took a breath of air: "The emperor, do you want to give up the unification of the world? The emperor... has decided to join the Kyushu Party?"
A wry smile flashed in Xun Jiayuan's eyes: "Mingkang, do you think I have other choices?"
This official is none other than Mingkang. It was Mingkang, a senior official of Ming Dynasty, who brought Li Zhen to Balong City all the way from Hangcheng County.
Ever since Yuan Cheng was cut to pieces by a thousand swords, Mingkang's power has grown.
At this time, after hearing what Xun Jiayuan said, Mingkang smiled: "Emperor, you have made a clear choice."
Xun Jiayuan laughed and said, "Really?"
"Please, Emperor, please move."
"Set off!"
Mingkang walked outside the gate of the Emperor's Palace and shouted: "The Emperor is moving to Quancheng County!"
'噌噌匌'
From all directions in the Emperor's Palace, the sound of swords being sheathed could be heard.
At the previous moment, five thousand forbidden troops had changed their guard and surrounded the Emperor's Palace. Each one has his sword unsheathed and his arrow cocked.
If Xun Jiayuan does not make any decision within three days, the imperial army will immediately mutiny, rush into the Emperor's Palace, and behead Xun Jiayuan. Then he began to massacre all the Xun family members in the court.
Xun Jiayuan tried to struggle, but couldn't. First of all, he was unable to resist the forces of Dongzhou. Secondly, his most urgent need was that a once inconspicuous leader of the imperial army named Wang Yuanxiang surrounded the Emperor's Palace. Waiting to massacre the Xun family at any time.
The real trend is over.
The general trend of the world is over, and the general trend of the imperial court is over.
Mingkang walked up to Wang Yuanxiang and said with a smile: "General Wang is really good at hunting rabbits with straw."
Wang Yuanxiang smiled and said nothing.
He was also helpless.
Who doesn't want to rise to the top
Wang Yuanxiang once kept Li Zhen's promise, silently waiting for Xun Shifei to break into Balong City, and then he would be the one to open the city gate. As a result, the general trend of the world turned Kyushu into a pot of porridge, chaos arose, and Xun Shifei was gone.
Wang Yuanxiang felt that he had no chance. Li Zhen called again. Wang Yuanxiang felt that he could finally be a gatekeeper. As a result, Li Zhen disappeared... After he was found, he left again.
Wang Yuanxiang was desperate. Is this really the end of my life
Finally, an exciting news came. Dongzhou established the party and prepared to create a peaceful and prosperous era.
Wang Yuanxiang was afraid that Xun Jiayuan would refuse to join, so Wang Yuanxiang seized this last opportunity and united with Mingkang to rebel and force the palace.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that even if the imperial court submits to the Kyushu Party, it is absolutely impossible for Xun Jiayuan to be elected in future elections. Whether it is political significance or popular sentiment, Xun Jiayuan will not be allowed to continue to be emperor. Therefore, Wang Yuanxiang and Mingkang were not afraid of offending him at all.
However, if the imperial court surrenders, there will also be a faction in the imperial court. Wang Yuanxiang and others are likely to be the major contributors to the founding of the party and be elected as representatives of the imperial faction to participate in the election. Regardless of theory or reality, this step is actually as difficult as reaching the sky.
But this is the only chance for Wang Yuanxiang and Mingkang to soar into the sky.
As long as the court is forced to submit, after such unification, even if Wang Yuanxiang cannot be the elected representative, he can still rise to prominence. There is absolutely nothing to say.
Wang Yuanxiang and Mingkang didn't hesitate at all when it came to their own future. They put a knife on Xun Jiayuan's neck, forcing him to surrender.
Xun Jiayuan also saw everything clearly, so what if he didn't go? Will you resist to the end? He wants to resist to the end. Can he increase his worth by joining after resisting
He thought so. But it’s impossible to achieve anyway.
Because after the Forbidden Army surrounded the Emperor's Palace, as long as Xun Jiayuan shook his head, the Forbidden Army would directly slaughter the clan.
What the Jiuzhou Party wants is not the people of the Xun family, but the power of the imperial court. Then it doesn't matter whether the Xun family exists or not...
Xun Jiayuan did not resist. He wants to protect his family.
A mighty honor guard, soldiers and horses escorted Long Jia towards Dongzhou.
After leaving Balong City, all the people in Balong City stood on both sides of the street and watched quietly.
"From now on, Kyushu will have a new pattern."
"The world is about to be unified."
"Oh, once the emperor, there are always ministers."
"It's really a sea of change. The Xun family dynasty, which had ruled the Nine Provinces for thousands of years, fell apart. Without any war, it surrendered to the great unification."
"I wonder what kind of pattern Li Zhen can lead Jiuzhou to create."
“…”
Xun Jiayuan sat on the steam car provided by the Ma Group, looking at the people along the way, watching the Balong City, which he had not left for many years, getting further and further away, and couldn't help but burst into tears. Afraid that others would see his weak appearance, he sat there stubbornly, his shoulders just kept shaking, and then tears fell down one by one.
His vision began to blur, but his teeth were clenched tightly. He took a deep breath and looked back.
The outline of the Eight Dragon City, the outline of the imperial palace, the outline inherited for thousands of years. Already disappeared from the end of sight...
Mingkang silently handed over a handkerchief, his eyes were a little red. He was not feeling sorry for Xun Jiayuan, but simply lamenting the changes in the world.
Xun Jiayuan glanced at Mingkang, did not take the veil, just wiped the tears on his face with his hand, and said tremblingly and lowly:
"The situation is over, but my ambition is still there. Do the officials in the Ming Dynasty pity me?"
Mingkang smiled bitterly and shook his head, sighing: "No. I just want to make the emperor look more decent."
"hehe."
"Kill!"
"Kill them!"
"kill!"
Suddenly, shouts of death, screams, and panic came from the front.
Mingkang was surprised, who is this? Actually want to kill Xun Jiayuan
Xun Jiayuan smiled nonchalantly and said: "People of the Ming Dynasty don't have to be surprised. Life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor are in heaven, right? If I don't leave the Eight Dragons City, you will kill me. If I leave the Eight Dragons City, others will kill me." .”
Mingkang was stunned: "Does the Emperor know who it is?"
Xun Jiayuan laughed loudly, with a touch of desolation in his eyes: "My son Shi Fei."
hiss-
Mingkang took a breath and looked ahead in disbelief.
