"I am not the ruler of a subjugated country. All of you are subjects of a subjugated nation!"
The roar of Emperor Si Zong, the Son of Heaven of Ming Dynasty, resounded in Taihe Palace.
Yesterday, Tang reported that the raiders had already arrived at Juyong Pass, only a hundred miles away from Changping.
The cavalry could make a round trip in a day.
However, when Emperor Sizong asked the ministers for advice, everyone did not pretend to be deaf and dumb. He was repeating the same old tune, asking the Imperial Court to send the Guanning Cavalry to the capital.
But that crafty Wu Sangui actually wanted the imperial court to pay eight hundred thousand taels of silver as a starting fee.
Emperor Sizong had gathered 30,000 taels of silver with great difficulty, but it was far from meeting the requirements of the Guanning Army!
However, which of these officials in front of him didn't have hundreds of thousands of taels of silver?
If this Great Sun Moon Dynasty fell, what good would it do them?
These sycophants deserved to be killed!
"Wei Qing, you are the leader of the officials. Tell me."
Seeing that no one said anything, Emperor Si Zong directly called out the name of Wei Zaode.
"Your Majesty is wise! I was terrified. I don't know. Your Majesty will make the decision!" Wei Zaode kowtowed.
"You…you…as the Great Ming's chief assistant, you actually don't even have the slightest idea. What use do I have for you?"
Emperor Si Zong didn't expect Wei Zaode to be so shameless and cursed in anger!
"This humble subject is incompetent. Your Majesty, please allow this humble subject to retire.”
Wei Zaode placed his black muslin on the ground.
He had already thought it through.
The Great Ming Empire was in the wind and rain, and the raiders were imminent.
He might as well retire early and return to his hometown to stay away from this troublesome place.
"We beg for your bones!"
"We beg for your bones!"
"We beg…"
Behind Wei Zaode, a large group of big shots knelt down and asked to retire.
The capital was no longer stable.
Not only was there the danger of being attacked by raiders, but more than ten high-level management dignitaries were also burned to death last night.
The officials whose families had been wiped out were all natives of the capital, and all their wealth was in the capital and the vicinity of Shuntian Prefecture.
No one would believe that there was nothing fishy going on.
This was forcing him to abdicate!
The Great Sun Moon Dynasty had been established for 300 years. When had such a scene ever appeared?
Did these big shots not even care about the black veil on their heads?
Could it be that Da Ming was really going to die?
"Your Majesty, please calm down! Your Majesty, please calm down!"
Chief Eunuch Wang Chong 'en hurriedly consoled.
"A subordinate offending a superior, well done!"
No matter how powerful a eunuch was, he was still a servant of the royal family.
A servant deceiving his master deserved to die!
At this moment, Taihe Palace sent the latest information about the raiders.
"Read it quickly!"
Everyone's attention was immediately focused on the news.
"Du Zhizhi, the supervisor of the army, subdued the raiders and Juyong Pass fell. Chuang Ni's army will arrive at Changping tomorrow.”
What was that?
Juyong Pass was broken?
The raiders will arrive at Changping tomorrow?
This world of Ming Dynasty…
It was over!
Juyong Pass was one of the strongest passes in the capital.
The officials thought that with the natural and geographical advantage, the Juyong Pass would be able to hold on for ten days to half a month.
So that they could move their wealth away easily.
However, he did not expect Juyong Pass to surrender in just one day.
His family and wealth were still in the capital!
This…What should he do?
"Your Majesty, the only solution now is to move south to Jinling. Your Majesty, please make a decision quickly!"
"Yes! Your Majesty, move the capital south! The capital can't be defended!"
"Your Majesty, Jinling is the capital of Ming Dynasty. What's there to hesitate about going south?"
“……”
At this moment, a large group of big shots from Jiangnan shouted.
That was then, and that was now!
If Juyong Pass had not fallen so quickly, Emperor Sizong and the civil and military officials would have been able to head south.
It was equivalent to the Jiangnan gentry suddenly having a group of northern officials who were fighting with them for food.
Of course not!
However, he did not expect Juyong Pass to fall so quickly!
If that happened, the Great Sun and Moon Imperial Court would be unable to take away their foundation in the north.
If they went to the south, they could only seek help from the local aristocratic families.
Then, at that time, this group of southern gentry would be the Great Ming's Retired Emperor!
That was why they were suddenly so keen on moving south.
"This…this…"
This time, it was Emperor Si Zong's turn to hesitate.
After being the emperor for seventeen years, he naturally knew what these ministers were thinking.
"Your Majesty, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and order us to move south!"
Han Tong, the leader of the Jiangnan officials, jumped in front of Emperor Si Zong and shouted loudly.
Whoosh!
Puff!
A sharp arrow flew over, Han Tong's throat was sealed by an arrow.
The mottled blood instantly splashed into Taihe Palace.
Then, a clear voice sounded,"
"Those who talk about moving the capital…"
"Kill without mercy!"
