The Minister of Industry spoke, and the other ministers also reacted and followed suit,
"Your Majesty, what you two gentlemen said makes perfect sense. As long as there are green mountains, there will be no shortage of firewood..."
"Your Majesty, time is running out, we must make arrangements early..."
"Your Majesty, the drought in the capital has not eased yet. It would be better to move the capital to the south."
"Yes, Your Majesty, although the south is hot, it has the advantage of having sufficient food and fodder, which is very suitable for raising troops..."
“.......”
The ministers tried to persuade Emperor Tianwu one after another.
The ministers who had not opened their mouths just now all opened their mouths.
Emperor Tianwu looked at the ministers who were trying hard to persuade him and sighed heavily.
"Forget it!"
"I cannot destroy the legacy of my ancestors."
Emperor Tianwu took a deep breath and looked at Su Huaizhong with watery eyes.
"Go, inform everyone in the palace to leave for the south immediately. Anyone who takes advantage of the chaos to cause trouble will be killed without mercy!"
The eunuch Su Huaizhong, who held the seal, trembled in his heart, "Yes!"
Before he finished speaking, Su Huaizhong had already ordered the eunuch beside him to go to the harem to convey the oral order.
"Your Majesty, let's go!"
After Su Huaizhong gave instructions to the eunuch, he immediately walked to Emperor Tianwu and tried to persuade him.
Those concubines in the harem are dragging their feet and it’s unknown when everything will be cleaned up.
Emperor Tianwu is the backbone of these people and must leave first.
Kong Zongli stood up with shaking legs and then persuaded,
"Your Majesty, please leave first..."
The ministers echoed, "Your Majesty, please leave first..."
Emperor Tianwu was extremely anxious, but he remained calm on the surface.
He glanced at the ministers.
"My dear ministers, please leave with me."
"Come on, prepare the horses!"
Without waiting for the ministers to decline, Emperor Tianwu gave the order directly.
The ministers looked at each other and sighed helplessly.
Kong Zongli bowed and said, "I beg Your Majesty to let me send someone to inform everyone in the palace to leave together."
"Okay!" Emperor Tianwu agreed without hesitation.
.......
"The time has come! Lay down your weapons, open the city gates and surrender!"
Minister Jiang listened to the shouts from the enemy and closed his eyes powerlessly.
After a quarter of an hour, no one came from the palace. It seemed that the emperor had abandoned the city and fled.
However, this result was exactly what he wanted to see.
But what made him sad was that the emperor escaped without anyone notifying him.
Hey~~
All my loyalty was ultimately misplaced.
Well, he already knew what kind of person Emperor Tianwu was, so he was not surprised that he would make such a decision.
Kong Zhiyu looked at Minister Jiang anxiously.
"Master Jiang, what should we do? Can you give me some advice?"
Why are you still acting so gloomy at this moment?
When it's time to make a decision, make it quickly.
Time has passed and there is no news from the palace. It is obvious that the emperor has given up on them.
Even with such an urgent matter as attacking the city, the palace has been slow to come up with a detailed solution. Doesn't that mean surrender?
Captain Li stared at the movements of the enemy army, his heart in his throat.
Life and death depend on Minister Jiang's words.
If they don't surrender, they will be blown to death immediately.
If we surrender, we can still save the people in the city.
Captain Li took a deep breath and looked towards Minister Jiang with a trembling voice.
"Lord Jiang, it's time to make a decision. The enemy doesn't have that much patience."
Hearing this, Minister Jiang's heart trembled and he immediately opened his eyes.
Yes, he had just negotiated before, and the enemy bombed the city gate.
The enemy is really ruthless.
"surrender!!!"
"Open! The! City! Gate!!!"
Minister Jiang looked serious as he issued the order word by word.
Captain Li's eyes lit up, and he immediately shouted at the enemy with a tin trumpet,
"We surrender, open the city gates!!!"
Captain Li was afraid that the enemy couldn't hear him, so he shouted three times in a row.
As Captain Li finished speaking, the defenders squatting on the city gate tower silently raised a white flag and waved it a few times above the city gate.
There was a series of creaking and crackling sounds coming from under the city gate tower.
The heavy, crooked city gate was opened.
Looking at the open city gate, Ji Guangda raised his eyebrows, "Oh, I didn't expect that Emperor Tianwu would surrender."
"Heh!" Shen Yong curled his lips and smiled, "I'm afraid Emperor Tianwu is preparing to escape right now."
I waited until the time came but no one came from the palace, so I had to take any countermeasures.
This means that Emperor Tianwu was ready to escape.
"...How can that be possible?" Ji Guangda glared. "If we let Emperor Tianwu escape, there will be endless troubles."
"If they run out from the South Gate, they must be heading straight south."
"The order to supply grain to the south would give Emperor Tianwu the opportunity to make a comeback."
Chen Yong smiled faintly, "Don't worry, this is not enough time for him to escape."
"After entering the city, you will continue to seize important locations in the capital as before. I will lead my men to capture the tyrant!"
Emperor Tianwu was able to run out of the palace in just a quarter of an hour, which was considered very fast.
If he was faster, he wouldn't have to run to the South Gate to catch Emperor Tianwu.
Of course there are secret passages in the palace.
But...Chen Yong curled his lips and smiled.
He knew where all those secret passages were.
