After listening for a long time, Gou Ge finally understood.
He stepped on a stone and said, "Everyone, please listen to me."
The noisy crowd suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on Dog Brother.
"The Emperor of Yan wants to save us, but His Majesty of Rong doesn't want us to live a good life and wants us to starve to death. Are you willing to accept this?"
The people of Rong State below, when they thought of the situation in their hometown, were immediately excited, "We can't accept this, we can't accept this!"
Dog brother raised his hand, and the crowd below fell silent for a moment.
"Alright! Since no one is willing to just wait for death, and the Emperor of Rong is unwilling to save us, then we will become citizens of Yan!"
"But the Emperor of Yan cannot take us in. How can we become citizens of Yan?" someone asked.
"As long as our Rong State becomes the Yan State, then won't we all be the citizens of Yan State?!"
"Overthrow the dog emperor!"
Dog brother spoke hysterically, the veins in his neck bulging, and he used all his strength to say this.
"Good! Overthrow the dog emperor!"
These people had no land to begin with. When the petty officials came to the countryside, they forced them to uproot their crops and plant mulberry trees, promising to subsidize them with grain. At first, there was still some grain, but later on, there became less and less, and even no one cared about the mulberry trees.
Some of them wanted to go to the county to seek justice, but in the end, they were driven out after being beaten with a few sticks. They were also worried that they would waste food if they stayed in prison!
In the distance, An Jingzhi was standing not far from the city wall, watching the grand spectacle below.
"That's right. We don't need to motivate our own people, they will start to act on their own."
After drinking the porridge, the people of Rong State left in groups.
A larger rebellion broke out in Rong State, and everyone's slogan was, "Get out of here, the dog emperor! We want to be the people of Yan State!"
When Emperor Rong heard this, he became furious and threw several memorials in anger.
"When did I not allow Yan to take in Rong people?! Is someone spreading rumors about my will?!"
Lord Bai below was hit on the head by the memorial.
"Master Bai, how long has it been since I asked you to collect the grain? I'm not asking for two million dan, but you haven't even collected one million dan yet? What use do I have for you?!"
Emperor Rong is now like an angry lion.
"Your Majesty, it's not that I haven't tried my best. It's simply that my colleagues in the court are unwilling to contribute to the country. Even the 100,000 dan of grain from my own family has gone into the national treasury."
Emperor Rong was about to say something when someone suddenly walked in hurriedly.
"Report! Five hundred thousand rebels have broken through Rongdu's defenses! They're about to reach the Imperial City!"
"Waste! Waste! All of them are waste!"
The Emperor of Rong was shocked and terrified. "Where is General Situ? Didn't he promise me that he would defend Kyoto? Where is he?!"
"Your Majesty, General Situ has been captured..."
All the officials in the court were in a panic and eager to return home.
"Your Majesty, I suddenly remembered that my mother is celebrating her birthday today, so I would like to take my leave first."
The Emperor of Rong was shocked and angry. He looked at the minister who left without waiting for his answer. He pointed at the other's back with trembling fingers and said nothing for a long time.
"Your Majesty, I also remember that my father is not in good health. I will take my leave first."
"Your Majesty, it has only been a year since my father passed away. Logically, I should not be serving in the court. I request permission to return home to observe mourning for my father."
Next, important officials of the court left one after another for various reasons.
When they returned to the mansion, they immediately ordered their people to pack up, seeing that Rongdu was about to be broken. They had to make plans for themselves. Even General Situ had been captured, and Rong State had no soldiers left to fight.
The generals of Rong State either starved to death on the battlefield, were beheaded by the furious Emperor Rong, or rose up in rebellion.
The Emperor of Rong looked at the empty palace and said, "I have become the king who destroyed Rong."
After saying this, tears stained his clothes.
"I am ashamed of my ancestors."
Outside the palace, Dog Brother stood in front, his body covered in blood.
"Charge! Everyone, hurry up! As long as we rush in, we can capture the Dog Emperor alive!"
The reason why this group of people's power has grown is inseparable from the contributions of the people sent in by An Jingzhi.
Worried that these people might eventually develop ambitions and become another force, all aspects of the team were led by people sent by An Jingzhi.
Even Gou Ge had joined the State of Yan a long time ago, and all his relatives had been moved to the State of Yan.
"Go!"
"Capture the Dog Emperor alive!"
Emperor Rongguo listened to the sounds of fighting coming from outside and sat calmly on the dragon throne in the hall.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the entire Rong Palace fell into the hands of the enemy.
Emperor Rong was captured.
…
Yan Su looked at the Emperor of Rong standing below with complicated eyes.
The emperor of Rong State has been escorted back to Yandu. After Gou Ge and his men conquered Rong State, they went directly to the border under the leadership of people arranged by An Jingzhi, wanting to ask Yan State to accept Rong State and incorporate Rong State into Yan's territory.
There is such a good thing? How embarrassed is Yan State?
However, the people of Rong were so enthusiastic that after their repeated requests, the Queen of Yan was forced to send troops to help manage Rong.
The Emperor of Rongguo smiled bitterly, "It turned out to be you. What a trick, what a scheme. It's not unfair that I lost to you."
Originally, he wanted to die for his country, but he was still unwilling to give up and wanted to see with his own eyes the driving force behind it. Unexpectedly, it was such a woman who overthrew the Rong Kingdom with a history of 200 years and made him the king of a fallen country.
Back then, he had wanted to take advantage of the change of the throne in Yan State to take advantage of the opportunity, but who could have imagined that the situation would be like this today?
"I'm not the one with the means. The one you lost is my husband."
The Emperor of Rongguo was incredulous. "I'm already a prisoner, why are you teasing me?"
He looked at An Jingzhi who was walking out with a look of disdain.
The husband of the Queen of Yan was just a good-for-nothing pretty boy. How could he have come up with such a vicious plan and easily captured the expert of Rong State in just two years?
Yan Su said calmly, "As you said, you are already a prisoner. Why should I tease you?"
An Jingzhi looked at the Emperor of Rong with a smile, "The Emperor of Rong is indeed born with extraordinary majesty."
The Emperor of Rongguo looked dejected. "I was wrong." He paused and looked up at Yan Su. "Now that Rongguo has fallen into your hands, I wonder how you will treat the people of Rongguo?"
Yan Su remained calm, "Since the Rong Kingdom Chronicles have fallen into the hands of Yan, then the people of Rong are also the people of Yan."
The Emperor of Rong laughed heartily, "Good, good, you are indeed the Empress of Yan. I have judged you with my own mean mind."
"Give me a quick death."
Even if it was the emperor of an enemy country, Yan Su would not humiliate him for no reason. Emperor Rong was indeed a great ruler. Yan Su gave him a white silk and gave Emperor Rong a decent burial.
