When he learned that Qin Feng had entered the city, King Beidi didn't have much reaction. He sat lonely on the dragon chair. Although Li Yu and the eunuch were still standing beside him, his eyes had long lost their former brightness, and his whole person It seemed as if I had aged more than ten years in an instant, feeling lonely and desolate.
Now, the palace has been surrounded. Although the palace walls are strong and there are tens of thousands of forbidden troops guarding it, everyone knows in their hearts that the overall situation has been decided and there is no way to reverse it. Failure is only a matter of time.
The King of Beidi hoped that Qin Feng would order an attack on the palace. At least in this way, he could fight bloody battles and show his majesty as a king before his death.
Unfortunately, Qin Feng had no intention of attacking the palace.
Qin Feng was too aware of the current situation. He was not even willing to waste a single soldier. He waited for King Beidi's psychological defense to collapse, and took the initiative to open the door and surrender, or... was tied up by the imperial guards who were also driven crazy, and took the initiative. Send him out of the palace and surrender.
The so-called "sustaining for a few years" is simply nonsense. Even if there are abundant supplies, no one's heart can withstand the test.
Li Yu's face was also gloomier than ever before. Compared with other officials, Li Yu didn't even have a chance to surrender. He could only bite the bullet and act as the last loyal minister on the eve of the country's subjugation.
He looked at the depressed King Beidi and couldn't help but feel the same.
"Your Majesty, while the imperial army still has fighting spirit, it is better to open the palace gate, fight a bloody road, and move north. Although the north is barren and barren, it is at least a land of freedom. As the saying goes, if you keep the green mountains, you will not have to worry about running out of firewood. "
"There are still more than ten thousand forbidden troops in the palace. No matter in terms of morale or combat effectiveness, they will never lose to Qin Feng's army. As long as they fight to the death..."
Before Li Yu could finish speaking, King Beidi had already waved his hand and interrupted directly.
Under the complicated gaze of Li Yu, the Beidi King said feebly: "It's useless. Before Qin Feng's army entered the capital, there was still a chance to move north. Now it's too late."
More than ten thousand forbidden troops could not penetrate Qin Feng's layers of siege.
After all, this is a royal palace, located in the center of the royal capital, surrounded by not only streets and alleys, but also city walls.
Once they go out to fight in the city, they will be scattered due to the constraints of the houses and streets, and the speed of breaking out will be greatly reduced. Moreover, even if they rush to the city gate, they will be besieged by soldiers on the city wall.
Therefore, a forced breakout is simply unrealistic.
And even if we break out, what will happen? With so many people in the palace, including the concubines, concubines, and heirs, are they all left here to wait to die? You need to bring people, money, and supplies. If King Beidi ran to the north alone, he would be nothing more than a royal family in trouble, with no power, no military strength, and no financial resources.
Why should I let the tribes in the north do what I am told?
A comeback is even more nonsense. It can be said that if you don't move north immediately, you will be dead.
There are only three people waiting for the fate of King Beidi. They will either kill themselves and be buried with everyone in the harem.
Either he persisted for a period of time and was killed by the mutinous imperial guards, or he surrendered and was imprisoned by Qin Feng for the rest of his life and became a prisoner.
No matter which end it was, it made no difference to King Beidi.
Seeing that King Beidi was numb, Li Yu said nothing more.
After leaving the main hall, Li Yu strolled in the quiet palace, looking at the similarly depressed Imperial Army around him, and he already understood in his heart that the so-called "morale" was just an excuse to comfort himself.
Now, most of Beidi has fallen into Qin Feng's hands, the royal capital has also been captured, and the palace is surrounded by iron barrels.
Chen Si and Wu Kang had already fled to Bozhou, and the remaining troops stationed in various places were too busy to take care of themselves and had no strength to support the royal capital.
Even King Beidi is in despair, let alone the people under his command?
Li Yu clasped his hands behind his back, shaking his head and smiling bitterly: "Qin Feng, Qin Feng, why are you so cruel? You took down the entire Dadi in one winter, so that such a large country could not react at all."
One family is sad and the other is happy. The entire palace is filled with an extremely depressing atmosphere, but Qin Feng's side is bustling with excitement.
Shen Qingci and others and Jing Qianying have been separated for too long. Now that the sisters are reunited, it is natural for them to have a good reunion.
The Beidi officials who came to show their goodwill all gathered in the lobby and were received by Qin Feng.
Li Zhang's professional qualities are extremely strong. It has only been a few days since he entered the city, but he has already remembered all the officials in the city clearly.
As Qin Feng's right-hand man, Li Zhang is like a middleman at this moment, constantly introducing Beidi officials to Qin Feng.
"Marquis Qin, this is the Minister of Justice, this is the Minister of Rites, this is..."
After Li Zhang introduced them one by one, the Beidi officials present bowed to Qin Feng and saluted, as if they were paying homage to the former King of Beidi.
To be honest, Qin Feng has no good impression of these officials who actively surrender to the enemy, and even despises them from the bottom of his heart. However, this country needs these officials to maintain its operation. If all the officials who surrender are killed, then the country will be completely in chaos. set.
Qin Feng nodded, pretending to be relaxed and said: "Ministers, the general situation of the world has been decided. Although the Beidi King is still stubbornly resisting, it is no longer the case. I wonder if you have ever considered establishing a new king?"
The officials never expected that Qin Feng would be so direct.
He didn't even have the most basic greetings to ask about such a serious topic.
Because the matter was so important, the officials present hesitated and did not respond for a long time.
Qin Feng had long expected that it would be easy for them to surrender, but difficult to support a new king. After all, the former only needed to gain benefits, but the latter had to bear responsibilities.
Qin Feng immediately snorted and said coldly: "It seems that your hearts are not sincere."
The officials present, ranging from the Minister of War to the Governor, were all high-ranking officials in the court. However, at this moment, facing Qin Feng, they were more nervous than facing the King of Beidi.
After all, even if King Beidi hated them again, he would not kill them directly.
If he offended the person in front of him, he would probably be pushed out and chopped directly on the spot.
The words "Not sincere" scared everyone to the point of breaking out in cold sweat.
Seeing that he could not escape, the Minister of Rites could only bite the bullet and speak.
"Master Qin, it is not impossible to support a new king. May I ask, Master Qin, if you have a suitable candidate in mind?"
Who in the world doesn't know that Qin Feng started the war for Jing Qianying?
The Minister of Rites pretended to be confused, but to put it bluntly, he still couldn't accept Jing Qianying's succession.
Qin Feng naturally understood what the old fox was thinking, and immediately sneered: "I am a foreign minister, how can I interfere in such a big matter? I would like to ask you what you mean!"
