Wu Nian, who had put on clean clothes, stood at the camp gate. Next to him is Yuki Kyogoku.
Kyogoku Yuki's bright eyes looked at the city of Kyoto in front of her, and she couldn't hide her joy. Although it is still far from Fuso destroying the country.
The real power was in the hands of General Toyotomi, and a large group of samurai occupied Fuso's territory.
But he was able to invade Kyoto and capture the emperor alive.
She was also very happy.
"Let you Fuso people have a taste of the hatred of national subjugation." Kyogoku's snow-white and delicate little hands were tightly grasped together.
"Does the king really want to treat the emperor with courtesy?" After a long time, Kyogoku Xueli calmed down, raised his head and his eyes fell on Wu Nian's face.
He could hear the regret of the subjugated princess, but Wu Nian still said: "There is still strength in the city now. If we attack by force, the Han soldiers will definitely suffer losses. Although I am ruthless and violent, I will not regard human life as trivial."
"If the emperor is willing to leave the city and surrender, I will give him a way to survive."
Kyogoku Yuki is very sorry.
...........
In the city.
He is in charge of the Yamen. Inside the hall.
Okubo Tadamitsu's face turned pale, and a large amount of sweat fell down, soaking his clothes. In front of him was the warrior who was kneeling on the ground, not daring to raise his head.
Did even Honda Hidenobu die in battle?
Third in the world.
That's third in the world.
He came out of the troubled times of the Warring States Period with constant wars, and had a great reputation of five hundred thousand dan. It is far from being comparable to the Toyotomi Sixteen Divine Generals like myself.
Now even Hidenobu Honda has died in battle.
Not to mention yourself?
Okubo Tadamitsu lost all hope and fell into deep despair.
surrender? Still not surrendering.
For the Emperor it was a multiple choice question. If possible, Okubo Tadamitsu hoped that the emperor could die like a samurai.
But that's not possible.
And for a samurai, for a noble samurai.
There is no word surrender in his dictionary.
"Go prepare for the ceremony. I want to commit seppuku." Okubo Tadamitsu raised his head and said to the samurai who reported the news.
You have to hurry up, the Han army will enter the city soon.
"Yes." The warrior who reported the news was stunned for a moment, then showed a decisive look and responded loudly.
As a samurai, committing seppuku is an honor.
Palace, corridor in front of the study.
Emperor Mingzheng was still looking at the sky blankly, as if he was wandering in the sky.
"Da da da!!!" Suddenly, rapid footsteps sounded. Emperor Mingzheng looked blankly in the direction from which the sound came, and then his pupils shrank.
The ministers seemed to be on the run, rushing toward him in disheveled clothes and embarrassment.
"Your Majesty, Honda Hidenobu died in battle. Okubo Tadamitsu committed seppuku. Kyoto can't be saved." The ministers knelt on the ground. Some were crying, some were frightened, and some even fainted.
"Ah!!!!" Emperor Mingzheng's eyes darkened, he screamed, and then fainted. The ministers became even more panicked when they saw this. They rushed forward in a hurry, pinched the person, touched the chest to calm the air, and successfully rescued the emperor.
"What should we do now?" Emperor Mingzheng's eyelids trembled, and then he slowly opened them. After being confused for a long time, he asked.
Opposite of the Wu family.
The ministers around Emperor Fuso are called Gongjia.
Among them, the highest family is the Gosho family, Konoe, Kujo, Takashi, Nijo, and Ichijo. Members of their family took turns serving as regent Guan Bai.
Regarding this issue, the opinions of the public are very unified.
Guard Zhongxiang said quickly: "Your Majesty, the Han army has threatened that if your Majesty does not surrender, the city will be massacred. For the sake of the people of Kyoto, please open the city."
"Yes. Your Majesty, please open the city for the sake of the people in the city."
"Your Majesty. The Han army promised to treat Your Majesty with courtesy. The promise of the King of Han still works. The King of Goguryeo is still alive and well."
The ministers tried to persuade Emperor Meisho to surrender.
Opening your mouth and keeping your mouth shut are all for the sake of the people, for the sake of the common people. In fact, it is for themselves. As a minister of the imperial court, even if he becomes a commoner.
They are no longer expensive, but they are still rich.
Better to die than live.
The public family is the public family, and fighting and committing seppuku are all the business of the Wu family.
Although Emperor Meisho is weak, he is not stupid and he knows the inside story.
The reason why the King of Goguryeo was able to survive was because his mother was the most beautiful woman in Goguryeo, Queen Mother Lee.
This Empress Dowager Li became the favored concubine of the King of Han, and the King of Goguryeo was saved and expected to die a good death.
He does not have the most beautiful mother in the world.
Emperor Meisho was very resistant to surrender. But the situation forced him to make this difficult choice.
Surrender does not necessarily mean death.
If you don't surrender, you will definitely die when the Han army attacks the city.
Emperor Meisho slumped in the arms of his ministers, his face was pale, his eyes were filled with stars, and he said weakly: "Go. Get the emperor's seal, the Kusanagi sword, the eight-foot mirror, and the magatama."
"For me. No. I will bring you plain clothes. You all will come out with me."
After saying this, Emperor Meisho was suddenly ashamed, his face flushed, and he fainted again.
"Your Majesty." The ministers panicked again, you can't die. If you want to die, you have to wait until you surrender.
If the King of Han outside the city misunderstands, you would rather die than surrender.
Then aren’t we doomed?
The ministers once again hurriedly rescued Emperor Meisho. Then he ordered the maids to fetch plain clothes for the emperor.
Other ministers hurriedly went to get the emperor's seal, Kusanagi sword, eight-foot mirror, magatama and other treasures passed down from generation to generation in the imperial family.
In the midst of the emergency and panic, the ministers showed extraordinary administrative efficiency and prepared everything beautifully.
Finally, they surrounded Emperor Meisho and surrendered to Kaicheng.
At the gate of the Han military camp.
Wu Nian and Kyogoku Yuki watched as the gates of Kyoto opened, and the Emperor and others came out and surrendered with cheers.
Kyogoku Yuki's bright eyes showed disappointment. I really want to kill the emperor.
Wu Nian exhaled and a smile appeared on his face.
In this way, the casualties of Han soldiers were reduced.
"Let Wang Gui and Lu Liuliang's troops enter the city. The other two troops will stay and camp outside the city." Wu Nian gave the order, and then looked up at the banners of the Imperial family on the city gate tower.
chrysanthemum pattern.
He felt it was very annoying, so he said: "Take off that flag and put up the Han banner."
"Yes." An Ouchi guard responded and immediately went down to deliver the order.
On the city wall, some samurai and ronin chose to kneel on the ground and commit seppuku to be loyal to the emperor and their own name. Most of the defenders were disarmed by the Han army and temporarily detained.
A Han soldier happily climbed up the city gate tower with a brand new Han banner, took down the Emperor's chrysanthemum pattern flag, and threw it away.
Then he carefully hung up the Han banner.
The flag with the word "Han" flutters in the wind.
Majestic.
The soldier also grinned, which was nice.
