"Suku, what are you going to do?" Xiao Hei asked, rubbing his hands.
"What time is it now?" Fang Zhiyi picked up the tea and took a sip.
"The rebels besieged the city."
"Puff!" He spat out a mouthful of tea. "Why didn't you take me to the night he committed suicide?"
Xiao Hei apologized: "I really can't choose the time now..."
Fang Zhiyi waved his hand and said, "Get lost."
"General!" A eunuch came in hurriedly, "The Emperor is calling you."
Fang Zhiyi followed him and left.
In the main hall, all the civil and military officials were like ants on a hot pan, it seemed that they had received the news.
Emperor Shunying, who had not attended court for a long time, walked up with a frivolous step and sat on the dragon throne. He glanced at the court officials who were whispering below, and smiled at Fang Zhiyi when he saw him.
Fang Zhiyi quickly bent down slightly.
"The enemy army has already taken down the city. What do you think?" Emperor Shunying spoke without beating around the bush.
An old minister stood up and said, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, flee to the south."
Another courtier stepped forward and swung his sleeves, "Nonsense! You old bastard!"
Fang Zhiyi looked at the two people. They represented different factions, and he didn't expect that they would have a quarrel at this time.
"Your Majesty, it's not escape, it's migration."
Fang Zhiyi was helpless. He thought this guy had some backbone and was going through all this trouble just to change his name to a nicer one.
Emperor Shunying seemed a little moved, but when he habitually looked at Fang Zhiyi, he saw Fang Zhiyi's determined eyes: "My dear Fang, what do you think?"
The entire court fell silent. Everyone knew that the emperor trusted the general extremely, but some people also thought that the emperor was sowing disaster for himself.
Fang Zhiyi didn't hesitate: "Your Majesty, I will go and summon the guards of the capital to prepare to meet the enemy!" Are you kidding? He has fought in wars before, right?
Hearing his decisive words, the court was in an uproar.
"No, absolutely not. The capital guards and imperial guards together only have a hundred thousand men. Adding to the vacancies in recent years, maybe eighty thousand is barely enough. And the enemy troops outside the city number over three hundred thousand. Your Majesty! Please flee...move!" A court official knelt down hurriedly.
"Yes! Did General Fang take the wrong medicine? How many years has he not fought in a war?"
"I think Fang Zhiyi is stupid!"
But at this moment, Emperor Shunying suddenly gave a rebuke, and the court quieted down.
He looked at Fang Zhiyi and said, "Since that's the case, my dear Lord Fang, the capital is now handed over to you. From now on, all the troops and resources in the capital, from me to the people, are under your command!"
Fang Zhiyi was stunned. He looked up at Emperor Shunying. How could this be called a tyrant? Wasn't this a perfect example of a wise emperor? It seemed that what he knew about the plot was too conservative!
Fang Zhiyi took the order and left.
All the imperial guards and imperial guards were mobilized, and he also captured the eunuch who was in charge of the Xuan Jing Division.
Cao Ji smiled. Although he had sat with Fang Zhiyi at the time, this was wartime, and the emperor had given him such great authority, so he didn't dare to turn his head. "General Fang, why did you ask someone to bring me here? I will cooperate!"
Fang Zhiyi looked past him and at a eunuch behind him.
"What are you talking about?"
