Chapter 825: Dawn, breaking in the city
Chapter 825: Dawn, breaking in the city
The moment the sun rises from the horizon, the moment the eyes can see, the city is broken!
“Those who surrender will not be killed!” The Jinwuwei soldiers rushed into the city, lined up neatly in two rows, and cleared the road in the middle.
*Da da da…* The generals headed by Xiao Tianyao stepped into the city on big horses. Each of them was wearing battle armor made of black iron ores. The soldiers of the imperial court can’t attack them, even if they want to do their best.
“Put down the weapons in your hands and stand facing the city wall.” The Jinwuwei soldiers stepped forward, took the other party’s weapons, and asked them to stand up one by one.
Everyone was from the East Country. The Jinwuwei Army did not treat the soldiers of the imperial court like prisoners of war, nor did they humiliate them. They gave the soldiers of the imperial court the greatest respect.
The soldiers of the imperial court let go of the last grievance in their hearts, put down their weapons cooperatively, and stood up one by one.
And they also represent the mentality of most officials and common people in the East. In their view, whether it was Prince Xiao or the Emperor, they were all members of the royal family. They don’t care which one becomes the emperor, as long as it was not a foreigner who becomes the emperor.
Prince Xiao and his party entered the city very smoothly. Not only did the people in the city not stop them, but some people who worshiped Prince Xiao deliberately took out food from home and sent it to the street for the Jinwuwei Army to eat.
“I’m sorry, wangye has an order not to take needles and threads from the common people.” From yesterday to now, the Jinwuwei Army hadn’t run out of water, but faced with the hot food, they firmly refused one by one.
Some people listened to the persuasion, and some people refused to listen to the persuasion and insisted on stuffing food and water into the hands of the Jinwuwei Army, but the Jinwuwei Army still rejected: “We can’t take your things, not even a sip of water. This is military discipline!”
“Xiao Wangye’s rule of the army is extraordinary.” Among the crowd, a few men who were different from the people around them started talking in low voices.
“Xiao Wangye is strict, but he is not a mean and narrow-minded person. If we support him, we should not be liquidated afterward.” These people were sent by the family. They were not ordinary spies, but direct descendants of the family.
It is about the future of the family, and they will only believe it when they see it with their own eyes.
“Go back and discuss what we should do.” They have been waiting near the gate of the city since last night, and when Prince Xiao led his troops in at dawn, they felt relieved when they saw Prince Xiao’s attitude toward the defeated army and the people in the city.
*
In the palace, the palace guards immediately reported the movement at the gate of the city: “Your Majesty, the city is broken! Xiao Wangye has entered the city with his troops!”
“What?” The Emperor stayed up all night, his face was very ugly, and his eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes. When he heard the bad news, his pupils widened suddenly, like a man-eating beast.
“Your Majesty, the city is broken, and Xiao Wangye has led his troops toward the palace.” The palace guards lowered their heads and didn’t see the frightened look of the Emperor, but just by hearing his voice, they could tell how frightened the emperor was.
“How could it be so fast to break into the city? It only took just one night?” The Emperor’s lips turned black, and he was trembling. He wanted to raise his hand several times, but he couldn’t.
“I, I want to see…” The Emperor trembled as he spoke, but before he could finish speaking, he fell on the table and passed out.
“Come, someone comes, the emperor has fainted.” The eunuch who was waiting on the side hurriedly stepped forward to help the emperor up, and kept calling: “Imperial Doctor, imperial doctor, hurry up and call the imperial doctor.”
But after a long time, no imperial doctor came, and the eunuch scolded anxiously: “Are you blind? Xiao Wangye is the emperor’s younger brother, so what if Xiao Wangye is coming to the palace, can he embarrass the emperor?”
Prince Xiao was not a foreigner, even for the sake of face and reputation, he couldn’t treat the emperor harshly.
“Answering back Eunuch Feng, this little slave has already sent someone to go to the imperial hospital to call for someone, but the imperial doctor has not arrived yet.” A young eunuch hurriedly said, fearing that he would be angered.
Not long after he finished speaking, a small eunuch ran in: “Eunuch Feng, there is no one in the imperial hospital, and this slave has sent the palace guards to look for the imperial physician outside the palace.”
“Why is there no one in the imperial hospital? Where is the imperial doctor on duty?” Eunuch Feng cursed angrily.
“Imperial Doctor Qin has been on duty for the past few days, so the imperial hospital has not arranged for other people to be on duty.” No one would like to stay in the palace at this moment.
“Imperial Doctor Qin?”
“Imperial Doctor Qin was imprisoned by the emperor, this…do you want to release him?” The little eunuch asked cautiously.
Eunuch Feng hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said: “Go, let’s bring the person here first.”
Not long after, Imperial Doctor Qin came over, but his appearance was a bit scary, so Eunuch Feng jumped in fright: “Imperial Doctor Qin, what’s wrong with you?”
“It’s okay, how is the emperor?” Imperial Doctor Qin’s forehead was smashed by the emperor before. He bled a lot, and he didn’t get timely medical treatment. After the blood coagulated, the wound became more and more hideous.
“The emperor fainted, he didn’t wake up even after calling for him for a long time. Please take a look at Imperial Doctor Qin.” Eunuch Feng hurriedly made way for Imperial Doctor Qin to come forward for diagnosis and treatment.
Before he diagnoses and treats people, a look of worry flashed in the eyes of Imperial Doctor Qin.
No one knows the Emperor’s condition better than him. Something was growing in the emperor’s brain, and he couldn’t stand stimulation at all. He originally wanted to wait until he was skilled enough to propose to the emperor to use craniotomy for treatment, but he didn’t expect such a thing to happen, which made the emperor’s condition worse.
Sure enough, when Imperial Doctor Qin checked his pulse, he found that the matter was as exactly as he thought. And was even more serious.
“Eunuch Feng, the emperor’s illness…”
“The Empress is here!”
“The Imperial Concubine is here!”
“His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here!”
“His Royal Highness Prince An is here!”
“His Royal Highness Prince Wen is here!”
“The Seventh Prince is here!”
As soon as the news of the Emperor’s fainting spread, all the masters in the palace with little ability came. The Empress was walking in front of the long row.
“What’s the matter with his majesty?” The Empress’s steps were messy, her face was anxious, and there was no pearl hairpin on her head. Her long hair was loose behind her, she must have just got up and come running.
Imperial Concubine Zhou was not much better than the Empress. Imperial Concubine Zhou has not slept all night. Her hair was in a mess, and her clothes were also crumpled. As soon as she came in, she threw herself in front of the emperor: “Your majesty, your majesty, wake up! Your Majesty…” Imperial Concubine Zhou’s cry was absolutely sincere, without any trace of exaggeration.
She got the news that Prince Xiao had already called in. What would she do if the Emperor fell at this time?
“Imperial Father, Father…” The Crown Prince, Prince Wen, Prince An, and the Seventh Princes also cried and screamed. The Crown Prince cried miserably.
He was already a useless person. He has offended Lin Chujiu severely before, but now that Prince Xiao was in power, will he still have a good life?
Imperial Concubine Zhou knelt aside, and after saluting, he said: “Answering back to the Empress, the emperor has a headache attack, and his condition is getting worse. I’m afraid it’s, I’m afraid it’s…”
