20demayo Chapter 322
Chapter 322
Although the prince was indignant, he had to endure it for the sake of the overall situation. However, he soon found that if he did not vent his anger, he would not have the chance.
It turned out that in the following period, all the troops sent to intercept Long Tian almost without exception defected to the Northern Territory.
Even if the commander of the army insisted on executing the court's orders, he was counterattacked by his own subordinates when the time came and died on the spot.
And the troops led by him defected to the Northern Territory one after another.
Long Tian led a few hundred people and slowly rushed to Kyoto along the way. He did not intend to hide it at all, but he conquered hundreds of thousands of Zhongzhou troops one after another without spending a single soldier.
This made the court extremely angry and aggrieved, and also shocked and frightened more people. The means of the Northern Territory were really too overbearing.
I thought the court was a skinny camel that was bigger than a horse, but now I know that a paper tiger is a paper tiger after all, and it will break at a touch.
The reason why the North Territory did not take action was that they did not want to deal with the court. Now that Long Tian came alone, the court's army turned against them. What's the point of fighting?
In the palace, everyone looked at each other. They never thought that things would develop to this point.
Although the people sent out were not their most direct people, they were also generals trained by the court for many years. How could they surrender so easily?
What would happen if they were replaced by their own direct people? No one dared to think about it.
At this time, the ministers did not dare to fully trust their carefully trained subordinates, those who thought they had complete control over them.
But without them, what would these high-ranking big men be?
Difficulty, extreme embarrassment, so that they temporarily forgot the crisis.
"My lords, what should we do now?"
The prince could not care about other things. His own safety was the most important thing now. If Long Tian successfully entered the capital, would he still be able to be good?
Everyone bowed their heads and thought, what should they do? Who knows what to do.
"Your Highness, there are only two ways to deal with the crisis, but I am not sure."
Yan Tianyu is still the one who can handle the critical moment.
"Your Highness, we can either concentrate all our strength and gather masters from all families to fight to the death with Long Tian, but as we all know, Long Tian's subordinates are extremely powerful, and now there are rebels to help, so the possibility of success is not great."
"Another thing is, Your Highness should not care about anything else and directly ascend the throne to become emperor. If Long Tian still enters the capital without authorization and makes other moves, it will be treason. Maybe Long Tian will consider his reputation and give up entering the capital, and we can have a chance to breathe."
Yan Tianyu said what he thought.
In fact, Yan Tianyu himself knew that these two methods were not good strategies, and they might not even work.
Fighting, it is almost certain that they will not be able to win. Not only do they have rebels, but the Zhenbei Army exists in all states near Zhongzhou. Once mobilized, the court will surely fail.
If the prince ascends the throne directly, he can label Long Tian as a traitor and make him lose the support of the people. This seems to have some effect in the past, but now most of the areas of Xia Kingdom are under the control of Long Tian.
Especially the policies implemented by the North, which are beneficial to the people and make them unable to resist. Whether the prince ascends the throne or not, the people will not care, and may even oppose it.
But other than this, Yan Tianyu can't think of any other way.
"Prime Minister, do you have any news from the people sent to contact Jin and Liang?"
The prince suddenly thought of foreign aid. If he could get support from other countries and forces at this time, there might be a turning point, although the hope is not great.
"Your Highness, the North has a very strict border blockade, and the secret forces are all over the country. There is no news from the people we sent out. I estimate that these people are afraid of danger."
Yan Tianyu responded helplessly.
At this moment, Kyoto is an isolated city. It is too difficult to avoid the eyes of the North, and failure is also expected.
"What about the Supreme Pavilion? Has there been any response?"
The prince asked again.
"Your Highness, the Xia Kingdom branch of the Supreme Pavilion has been frightened by Long Tian and has clearly stated that it will not interfere in Xia's internal affairs. As for the headquarters, the people we sent out were intercepted and killed and failed to leave Xia."
Sure enough, it still failed.
"Forget it, forget it. Since no one can be relied on, we can only rely on ourselves."
"Order the Imperial Guards and the Imperial City Guards to be on guard. At the same time, order all the ministers in the court and the Kyoto clans to bring out their own resources and gather in the palace. This palace and Long Tian will make a final bet."
It is impossible for Long Tian to come to Kyoto with a large army, and the prince will not allow it. Unless a war is launched immediately, Long Tian can only give up the army and enter the city.
In the eyes of the prince, the purpose of Long Tian's trip is himself. He should not want to start a war or rebel blatantly. Then, the prince will have the opportunity to eradicate him.Long Tian.
Even if Long Tian has many experts around him, he still has a million Kyoto defenders and the most elite guards.
With the strength of each family, it is not impossible to fight.
"At this point, this is the only way. I will immediately ask my family's ancestors to come to the palace to help."
Lin Jinnan was the first to respond.
Regardless of whether the others were willing or not, they immediately expressed their opinions.
"Everyone, this battle is not for me, but for you. I hope you will not be hypocritical. The winner will be the king and the loser will be the bandit."
"After the matter is accomplished, I promise that the benefits obtained by each family will be immeasurable."
The prince is no longer qualified to ask others what to do, and can only tie the interests of everyone to himself.
"Your Highness, the defenders in the city are particularly important. I suggest that each family send people to each army. At this critical moment, the more than one million troops in Kyoto must not have any accidents."
Learning from the previous experience, Yan Tianyu suggested that the Kyoto defenders must not be in trouble no matter what.
"Okay, let's do as the Prime Minister wants, and we will overcome the difficulties together."
The prince gave enough trust and support to Yan Tianyu.
Kyoto was on high alert, waiting for the final decisive battle to come, and it seemed to calm down all of a sudden, but behind this calm, there was a dark tide, and countless figures were moving in secret.
"Sir, are we really going all out? You have also seen that the North Territory did not pursue the past for those who surrendered to them, and even entrusted them with important tasks."
"Now the situation in the court is known to everyone with a discerning eye. It is powerless to save the situation. Are you really willing to sink with this broken ship?"
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Yan Tianyu was meeting a fourth-rank official in the court. It stands to reason that with Yan Tianyu's identity, he would not meet officials of this level in private.
However, this moment is different from the past. Can the people who can appear here have some secrets behind them? Yan Tianyu also knows this very well.
For the lives of hundreds of people in his Yan family, Yan Tianyu is difficult to make a decision, so he might as well meet him.
