There are still six days to go before the new year, and seven days to go to the big wedding. When the whole city of Arashi is jubilant, everyone in Izumo looks worried.
It has been a week since they arrived in Lancheng, but the empress has never summoned them.
It's nothing for thousands of people to eat horses and feed them. Even if the price of what they eat and use every day is several times higher, it is just a small amount of money for everyone in Izumo. The empress did not summon them, the meaning behind this made everyone feel restless day and night.
If the empress does not see them, they will not be able to sit securely in Izumo in the future.
Even if he is in charge of a city, he might lose his head one day under the iron hooves of the barbarian army.
Or don't use the barbarian army, as long as the news is passed back, those rebels will take their heads first.
"Mr. Lin, what do you think is the situation now?" Several people sat together and discussed in low voices. Most of the people in this team are the legitimate sons of various cities or aristocratic families. After all, the city lord himself has to deal with political affairs, and they dare not leave the city lightly without the empress summoning them.
On the contrary, let the son-in-law come here, who has enough status, can show loyalty, and can't find fault.
Before coming here, every family has given thousands of instructions to the son-in-law, not only about giving gifts, but also a more important thing is to find a backer.
When they came, they were also full of confidence. What good things did those savages see? As long as you take out some precious treasures, the barbarian can't move his eyes. Even if it hurts a bit, it's worth it no matter how much you spend.
But after a few days, their hearts became cold.
The empress didn't see them, and many ministers didn't see them either. They were carrying gold and jewels, but they didn't even have a way to send them.
At this time, several people gathered together to discuss countermeasures.
The person called Mr. Lin is a special existence. He is Lin Mengsheng. Back then, he tried his best to connect the lords of the cities to surrender, and his name was put on the Empress's desk. This time, he also came with everyone.
"Qi Zixiao won't even see us? These barbarians are really arrogant!" A young man with red lips and white teeth frowned.
The others frowned suddenly and moved a little away from him.
"Call your Majesty! Don't say what you shouldn't say, or you will bring disaster to your Chen family!"
"You are looking for death, don't drag us!"
Several young people said coldly.
The young man of the Chen family was stunned for a moment. Seeing everyone's expressions and gestures, he recalled the family's entrustment, and said unwillingly, "It's my fault. I didn't choose what to say. Everyone here is my own, so I just opened my mouth."
"Earth wheel masters have sharp eyes and ears, which are not comparable to ordinary people. The sound of mosquitoes and flies tens of meters away can be easily recognized. Do you know how many earth wheels and god wheels there are in Lancheng?" Lin Mengsheng said lightly.
This is a kind word.
Everything is your own, it's all nonsense.
If selling the Chen family can stabilize the position of the others, they will be able to tie up the entire Chen family and send them to the palace within a quarter of an hour.
I don't know if the Chen family is really deserted or what, but they sent such a child here.
Everyone had their own thoughts in their minds, and one of them said again: "Not only does His Majesty not see us, but even the ministers refuse to see us. I have submitted more than a dozen famous posts, but all of them fell into the sea."
Lin Mengsheng naturally knew what these people were doing, so he just said: "Your Majesty didn't summon you, and those ministers don't know her intentions, so naturally they won't see you."
"Mr. Lin, is there any good way?" Everyone looked at it. Lin Mengsheng's intelligence is indeed extraordinary. If he hadn't connected the city lords of the cities, Izumo's destruction would have slowed down, but everyone now only has bones in the city. Head hung.
When they came, many family members ordered them to ask Lin Mengsheng for his opinion more often.
No matter how much credit he has made, it is impossible for him to be of one mind with the ancient clan, and he will definitely stand by the Izumo people.
There is no doubt about it.
Just like how everyone in Tianjing Land looked at Ren Baqian back then, they also believed that Ren Baqian would definitely win over to form their own power.
However, Lin Mengsheng's starting point was much lower than that of Ren Baqian, probably the difference between the 18th floor and the basement.
Everyone thought that Lin Mengsheng would be favored, but the empress hadn't summoned him until now, and the treatment was no different from theirs.
"Wait!" Lin Mengsheng said.
In fact, he was also guessing what the empress was thinking in his heart, and had some thoughts, but he didn't say it out.
Everyone has different complexions, and it's the word "waiting" again.
This Lin Mengsheng is nothing more than that.
Along the way, everyone agrees that his intelligence is good, but they don't feel that he is far behind. This is even more so at this moment. He has nothing to do with himself and others.
Just as everyone was thinking about their own thoughts, there was suddenly the sound of hurried footsteps outside, and a young man with the appearance of a book boy rushed in: "My lords, Mr. Lin, the emperor has written a letter of surrender, please surrender!"
Everyone immediately understood that it was Izumo's former emperor, their former boss.
Lin Mengsheng's eyes lit up: "When did it happen?"
"Right now, before heading to the palace, people outside are spreading the word! Going now can still catch up."
A smile appeared on Lin Mengsheng's face: "Presumably His Majesty will summon us tomorrow."
"How did Mr. Lin know?" Someone immediately asked.
There are also some people who look thoughtful.
It has been more than half a year since Emperor Izumo was taken captive, right? These days, everyone has carefully inquired about it, but they haven't heard any useful news.
At this time, there was a sudden request to surrender. This is a good show!
A good show for Dayao and the common people of Izumo might not mean to show it for himself and others.
"Mr. Lin, do you want to go and have a look?" A young man asked.
"You guys go, I won't go." Lin Mengsheng shook his head.
This is the carnival of the ancient race, and it is also the end of an era.
Since then, Izumo has completely become history.
No matter how much he hates and hates Chen Dongsheng and Zheng Chengmian, he is still an Izumo person.
Then the crowd dispersed in twos and threes, and some returned to the room with a sad look on their faces.
Some people remained calm and went to the palace.
Just as Lin Mengsheng thought, this was a carnival of the ancient people.
Even half a year ago, Izumo was already occupied by the whole territory.
Emperor Izumo's surrender seems useless. Regardless of whether he surrendered or not, Izumo has become history.
But in fact, in the hearts of many people, the emperor of Izumo represents Izumo.
Emperor Izumo submitted the form of surrender in front of the palace, which represented Izumo's complete surrender.
…
Ren Baqian stood with the empress on the top of the palace, gave up half of her body, and looked down at the man below.
Now he is wearing the costume of Emperor Izumo.
After all, it's a little ugly to ask him to wear a prison uniform and present the surrender form. Although everyone knew that he was the emperor of Izumo, without that suit, many things would be missing.
This is probably the last time he will wear it.
"With the importance of Emperor Yao, he is a master of crusades, his strategy is like a god, and his authority is unrivaled...The strength of Emperor Yao, his virtue and the people, I dare not match..."
Chen Dongsheng stood on the square in front of the palace, and his voice spread throughout the audience through loudspeakers.
From Chen Dongsheng's suit to the place where he surrendered, Chen Dongsheng surrendered in front of the palace, the empress accepted surrender at the top of the city, and the loudspeaker, all of these were naturally arranged by Ren Baqian.
Ren Baqian helped him polish up even the downgrade.
With the words "Chen Dongsheng is pleading guilty today, and Chen Xie heard about it." With this sentence, Izumo came to an end.
In Mist City, wild cheers resounded through the sky.
That night, a grand banquet was held in the palace. The two old clappers, Tong Zhenye and Qin Chuan, stripped naked, revealing their muscles, and wrestled in the arena with animal skins wrapped around their waists.
Hong Wu stripped off his upper body, grabbed Ren Baqian by the neck and poured ten catties of Erguotou on him.
"Gudu... Gudu... I want... Gudu... drowned... cough cough..." Before he fainted, Ren Baqian firmly believed that Hongwu was definitely doing something wrong on purpose.
The hazy eyes looked at the empress for help, only to see that the empress was pouring herself a drink, looking at herself with a smile from time to time.
It seemed that she was very happy to see someone she respected drinking with her husband.
