The citizens frantically attacked the city guards, picking up various weapons in their hands and killing them one by one.
They didn't know where this handy weapon came from, so they just vented their inner anger on the city guard in front of them!
The city guards were not able to fight back at first, but as several city guards fell to the ground, they became completely red-eyed and pulled out their swords to fight back.
Soon, Qinhuai City fell into chaos. The fighting between the city guards and the city residents stained this once paradise with blood.
"emperor!"
"General Qi, why are you so anxious?"
Seeing his panic, Zhu Yingtian couldn't help but asked in confusion.
"Your Majesty, a conflict has broken out between the city guards and the citizens of Qinhuai City, resulting in numerous casualties. Please immediately order the suppression of the riot!"
"What!?"
Zhu Yingtian groaned and stood up, a look of surprise appeared on his tough face. "Hasn't the prince already appeased the people of the city? Why are there still riots?"
"I don't know who sent those city guards out of Qinhuai City. A city citizen here was killed by the city guards by mistake, which led to this riot."
Hearing this, Zhu Yingtian's heart skipped a beat. He knew that the other party had already started to take action!
Unexpectedly, before three days have passed, the other party can't wait to take action against Qinhuai City. If this riot is not handled well, Qinhuai City may be destroyed!
"Your Majesty, we have to make a decision!" General Qi frowned and said solemnly.
Zhu Yingtian pondered for a moment. He knew what General Qi meant. He could either choose to support the city guards or the city residents, but no matter which side he chose, it was not the result he wanted!
"Where is the prince?" he asked in a deep voice.
"The prince and the eldest prince left Qinhuai City not long ago, and they haven't come back yet!" General Qi replied.
"Your Majesty!!" At this moment, a eunuch hurriedly ran over and said in a panic: "The residences of all ministers are being destroyed by the citizens of the city!"
Zhu Yingtian's pupils shrank, and his heart was filled with fear. The other party was really ruthless, and he actually attacked the court ministers. This was to completely arouse the conflict between the royal family and the citizens, leaving them with no room for change.
"Your Majesty, please make a decision!" General Qi knew the stakes involved. No matter which side he took, Qinhuaicheng would suffer a heavy blow.
The only thing they can do is to weigh the pros and cons and choose the side with the least loss.
Zhu Yingtian closed his eyes, took a deep breath, then opened his eyes suddenly, waved his hand, and said loudly: "Suppress the riot and arrest all the troublemakers!"
"Take the order!" General Qi clasped his fists, understanding Zhu Yingtian's decision very well.
As an emperor, you must have the courage to withstand eternal infamy, otherwise you will never be able to stand in this position!
Looking at General Qi's back, Zhu Yingtian sighed quietly and murmured: "I hope my decision is correct!"
Soon, General Qi led the imperial guards and rushed to the scene.
"The officers and soldiers listened to the order and arrested all the rioters. Anyone who dared to resist will be killed without mercy!"
"yes!"
For a time, the Imperial Guards used thunder to arrest these rioting citizens. However, the citizens of the city were also people who had experienced strong winds and waves. Faced with the thunderous methods of the Imperial Guards, they were not afraid of death. They picked up the weapons in their hands and fought with them.
The originally harmonious city of Qinhuai turned into a complete mess.
