"We are citizens of the Great Han Empire in life and ghosts of the Great Han Empire in death. Greetings, Your Majesty!”
First, Ding Guan, Yuan Kui, and the other loyal ministers looked at Liu Bian with reverence and knelt on the ground.
"Thank you for your magnanimity, Your Majesty. We, the rebellious subjects, kowtow to Your Majesty!”Then, inside and outside the hall, all the Western Liang soldiers prostrated themselves on the ground with a bang. They no longer had any hostility towards Liu Bian. They only had a sincere submission to Liu Bian.
"Good, good, good!"
Liu Bian threw the sword in his hand away, his face full of excitement. He shouted loudly three times, and the excitement in his voice could be heard.
"As my people, I will repeat what I said to Hwa Xiong just now. Without my orders, none of you are allowed to die.”
"Tell me, can you do it?”Liu Bian asked domineeringly.
"Your Majesty, we can!"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Inside and outside the hall, regardless of whether it was the old officials or the young officials, they were all moved by Liu Bian's generosity. They shouted hysterically, their voices shaking the heavens. They wanted to use their voices to tell Liu Bian, to tell the heavens that they were completely convinced by Liu Bian in this life.
"Kill! Kill!"
Right at this moment, a series of fierce shouts and sounds of battle could be heard from outside the hall. Ta, ta, ta, accompanied by a series of fierce stomps, at least thousands of soldiers charged over.
"Not good, there's an invasion. All soldiers, listen up. Enter the palace and protect His Majesty. If you dare to harm His Majesty, you'll have to step over our corpses.”Hwa Xiong seemed to have realized the danger approaching. He stood up and ordered loudly.
"Yes, brothers, protect His Majesty. Anyone who hurts His Majesty will have to step over our corpses."
The morale of the soldiers of Western Liang was high. For five or six hundred years, they had protected Liu Bian with three layers of protection. At this moment, everyone was filled with a strong sense of belonging. The sense of belonging to the Great Han Dynasty and the sense of belonging to Liu Bian's subjects. There was a voice in their hearts that told them that the Emperor in front of them would be the person they swore their loyalty to in the future. No one could hurt him.
"Kill! Kill!"
Outside the hall, the battle cries grew louder and louder. This meant that the 'enemy' was getting closer and closer.
"All of you, get out of my way!"
At this moment, something happened that shocked everyone. Liu Bian's majestic eyes swept over the soldiers and ministers who were protecting him.
"Your Majesty!"
Everyone looked at Liu Bian worriedly, not knowing what he meant.
"As the ruler of the world and the master of the Great Han Empire, I naturally have to advance and retreat together with my ministers and soldiers. How can I hide under your protection?”
Liu Bian's face was cold. He stepped out of the encirclement, holding a sword in one hand. His entire body rippled with a fearless fighting spirit.
"Your Majesty is right!"
"As important officials of the empire, we have the obligation to advance and retreat with the soldiers. All of you, disperse. We want to face it together with His Majesty!”
Sensing Liu Bian's heroic spirit, all the officials were deeply affected. Regardless of whether they were civil officials or generals, they stepped out from the layers of protection of the soldiers and stood in rows behind Liu Bian. Each of them held a sharp blade. It was obvious that they had made up their minds to live and die with Liu Bian and the soldiers.
" With such a mighty lord and such a virtuous minister, the Great Han Empire is in such a state of decline. No matter what, I must protect His Majesty through this crisis. We ordinary soldiers can die, but His Majesty must not be harmed.”
The soldiers were also deeply affected by the Emperor and his ministers. They all held their weapons tightly and were ready to die for the Emperor.
The monarch and his subjects were united, and their power could break gold!
