Kong Zongli's pupils trembled, and he quickly persuaded,
"Your Majesty, this is unacceptable. If the kerosene spreads, what will happen to the hundreds of thousands of people in the city..."
There is already a shortage of water in the city, and if the fire spreads, it will become a disaster.
The enemy army didn't even have to massacre the city; the people in the city were burned to death.
To do so is simply to seek death.
The damage to the enemy is 0, and the damage to yourself is 10,000.
"Yes, yes." The other ministers echoed, "Your Majesty, please think twice!"
Most of the houses in the capital are made of wood. If they catch fire...
Their houses will be burned clean.
They had just suffered divine punishment a few months ago, and the mansion was left penniless.
It took half a year for the situation to ease a little. If there was another big fire, they would be dead.
Emperor Tianwu glared at his ministers.
"The Imperial Seal of the Great Celestial Empire has always been broken but never surrendered."
The Great Celestial Empire has been established for so many years, it cannot be destroyed in his hands.
If this is the case, how can he face his ancestors?
No, absolutely not.
How could he surrender without resisting? He couldn't afford to lose face.
Emperor Tianwu bit his cheek tightly, and his gloomy eyes swept across the faces of his ministers.
"Besides using kerosene to stop it, can you think of any other way?"
At critical moments, none of these ministers could be relied upon.
Since he cannot be the emperor, these ministers should be buried with him.
If you want to join another master, there is no way.
Don't think he doesn't know what these cowardly civil and military officials are thinking.
It was hateful that he couldn’t find a single person in the entire court who was willing to fight.
His general...
Thinking of this, the resolute faces of the Shen family father and son flashed through Emperor Tianwu's mind.
Emperor Tianwu was stunned and felt a hint of regret in his heart.
He once disliked having too many generals, so...
Now that he needs a general, he realizes that no one would complain about having too many knives in their hands.
He was really too...
Emperor Tianwu pursed his lips and immediately dismissed the idea from his mind.
He is the emperor, his words are as good as gold, and he can do nothing wrong.
The ones who were wrong were his subjects and his people. They were disloyal to him.
If Chen Yong had not been disloyal, this would not have happened.
"What? Are you all mute!?"
Emperor Tianwu narrowed his eyes slightly, trying his best to hide the murderous intent towards his ministers in his eyes.
The ministers were stunned and all pursed their lips. When Emperor Tianwu's gaze swept over them, they trembled and drooped their eyelids.
Time is so tight, what else can they do?
Since Minister Jiang asked the guards to report this, it means that the defenders at the city gate have no other options.
The city gate is about to be broken. Apart from burning our own people, what deterrent effect can kerosene have on the enemy?
At most, it can prevent the enemy from entering the city later.
The kerosene will eventually burn out.
The enemy didn't even have to make a move, they could see Emperor Tianwu burn the entire capital himself...
As for other methods...
Of course, the only way to reduce losses is to seek peace and surrender.
The ministers stole a glance at the sharp sword in Emperor Tianwu's hand, but no one dared to say this out loud.
Whoever dares to be the first to try something new will be the first to have his head chopped off by Emperor Tianwu.
Can’t you see that Emperor Tianwu is now filled with anger and has nowhere to vent it?
The guard who came to report was so anxious that sweat dripped from his forehead, but he didn't dare to urge Emperor Tianwu.
The enemy has given us a limited amount of time, and if the time is up they will massacre the city.
Emperor Tianwu had to come up with a solution quickly so that he could rush back to the city gate to inform Minister Jiang.
Seeing the ministers refusing to speak, Emperor Tianwu laughed in anger.
“Good!!! Very good!!!”
"You're not talking, are you?"
Emperor Tianwu's eyes were filled with murderous intent as he glared at his ministers.
"Then all of you should die. There's no point in keeping useless people around!"
As he spoke, Emperor Tianwu rushed out from behind the desk with his sword in hand, and started to slash around with the sword.
Since he has no way to survive anyway, let these ministers be buried with him.
Even if he died, he would take all the civil and military officials with him.
"Your Majesty!!!" Kong Zongli opened his eyes wide in fear and shouted hurriedly,
"I...I have a plan!"
The ministers who were frightened pale finally felt relieved when they saw Kong Zongli come forward.
It’s over. Emperor Tianwu is probably going crazy.
There has never been a case in history where an emperor arbitrarily killed his ministers.
Emperor Tianwu paused, and looked at Kong Zongli with a red gaze, "Speak!!"
Kong Zongli pursed his lips, took a deep breath, and said in a trembling voice,
"Your Majesty.....I think..."
"Right now... Your Majesty must take advantage of the enemy's entry into the city and leave through the South Gate with the Imperial Guards and soldiers, heading straight south..."
"Huh!?" Emperor Tianwu roared, "You let me escape!?"
"I am the Son of Heaven, how could I escape? This is simply nonsense..."
This is his palace, why should he give it to that traitor Chen Yong?
Why would he run away? He...
You corrupt officials, your mouths must have dropped, right? All of them came over to persuade him.
Emperor Tianwu looked at the frightened ministers and wished he could stab them with a knife.
Even if he was polite and tried to persuade him, he would definitely run away.
