"Your Majesty, I...I can't help you, I can't help the country!"
Tong Yuan would kneel on the ground with tears streaming down his face.
The emperor was silent, and the shouts of death outside seemed to be getting closer.
"Eunuch Cao, hang up the things I asked you to prepare."
The emperor said calmly.
"Your Majesty..."
Eunuch Cao turned around, took out a long white silk ribbon from behind, then brought a stool, stepped on the stool, and threw the white silk silk up hard.
"Your Majesty! No, Your Majesty!"
Tong Yuan was shocked when he saw this, and he rolled and crawled to rush to the Dragon Seat.
"Back off!"
The emperor shouted in a deep voice,
"I am the Son of Heaven, I am the Emperor of Dafeng. Even if the country is overturned and thieves enter the capital, how can I fall into the hands of thieves and be humiliated!
How can I, the sword and the ax be added to my body!
If I commit suicide today, the next day, he, the King of Zhennan, will be cut into pieces by five horses, and he will die without a burial place! "
After speaking, the emperor picked up his pen and wrote on a piece of rice paper:
"The heaven is immoral, the sycophants are immoral, they separatize one side, plot rebellion and cause chaos, overthrowing our country!
The strong wind has been going on for five hundred years, and there have been continuous wars and fires for five hundred years. The people have been complaining. The people are in dire straits, starving and dying all over the land. They sell their sons and daughters, and they still can't survive.
Since I took over the throne, every time I think about this, I feel heartbroken and have no thought of food and drink. I wanted to turn the tide, but I have the intention to kill the thief, and I am unable to save it!
I work hard due to my poor virtue, but my ministers misunderstand me, and my treacherous ministers mislead the country!
Since ancient times, the king has been successful and the enemy has been defeated. This has not changed from ancient times, but how can the people deserve it? Why are the people suffering!
Now I die in the main hall to comfort the heroic spirits of my ancestors. I cover my face with my hair. I am ashamed to see my ancestors. I will allow thieves to split my body. Do not hurt any of the people!
Although I am dead, the strong wind will not kill me!
All the descendants of my Ji family will never forget the revival of the great winds, the reunification of the country, the people living and working in peace and contentment, and no longer suffering from war and chaos.
Hope my strong wind will rule the world forever! "
After writing, he threw down the pen, picked up the piece of paper, and threw it to the ground.
The piece of paper fluttered down and landed in front of Right Prime Minister Tong Yuan.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty!!!"
Tong Yuan picked up the paper, read it, folded it neatly, and put it in his sleeve.
Then, he kowtowed solemnly to the emperor.
The emperor stood up, raised his hand, took off his imperial crown, and placed it on the table.
His long hair was spread out, and his gray-to-white hair covered his face.
He raised his feet and stepped on the stool.
Bai Ling was pulled down hard.
He looked towards the wall of the hall, to be precise, towards the north.
"This strong wind depends on you, it depends on you..."
The emperor kicked off the stool with his toes, and with a snap, his whole body suddenly fell, and was then hoisted up by Bai Ling.
After a while of twitching, there was no more movement.
Emperor Jianping, who had been emperor for twenty-eight years and wanted to regain power and revitalize the country, hanged himself before the rebellious officials and traitors entered the palace.
Later history books record: On the thirteenth day of the twelfth lunar month in the twenty-eighth year of Jianping's reign, Mingxuan, a rebellious minister and a traitor to the country, led troops to the capital. The late emperor hanged himself in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. The traitors usurped the country. The four kings no longer had any scruples in their struggle for hegemony, and the world was in complete chaos.
"Farewell to Emperor Dafeng Jianping!"
Eunuch Cao knelt down, kowtowed, and sang loudly.
Then, he stood up and said to the right minister,
"Prime Minister, please go back, old slave, I am going to follow His Majesty."
After speaking, Eunuch Cao took out a small bottle from his sleeve, pulled it out, looked up at the emperor's corpse hanging on the beam of the main hall, and said with a sad smile,
"Your Majesty, I have served you for twenty-eight years. I haven't served you enough yet. When you go underground, I will continue to serve you."
He raised his hand and poured the medicine bottle in his hand into his mouth.
The emperor died, and so did Eunuch Cao. Tong Yuan stood up, looked at the pair of loyal masters and servants, and said leisurely,
"I respectfully send you off to Your Majesty and Eunuch Cao. I feel ashamed. I promised to die before Your Majesty, but I failed to do so. I feel guilty.
I want to die, but I want to die heroically. I also want to denounce the crimes of the bandits, then be killed by the bandits, and die heroically for my country! "
"Kill!"
"kill!!"
"Come in!"
Outside the main hall, the rebels rushed forward, hacking to death the remaining royal guards, stepping on their corpses, and rushed up the steps of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Tong Yuan walked to the door of the main hall, pointed at the soldiers and shouted,
"Hey! Get out of here, this is my Dafeng Taihe Palace, the holy place where Dafeng monarchs and ministers discuss state affairs. Are you begging for permission to desecrate it?!
Where is the national thief Mingxuan? Let him come over to see the truth, but the truth wants to ask him why he committed the following crime! "
"Don't worry, I'm here!"
A car drove in slowly. King Zhennan and the left prime minister stood on it, looking at the right prime minister Tong Yuan and sneered.
The moment Tong Yuan saw Zuo Xiang Zheng Sanlang, he suddenly realized.
"Zheng Sanlang! Did you open the city gate for the rebels? Did you let the rebels enter the city?!"
Tong Yuan shouted angrily.
Zheng Sanlang laughed and said,
"Hahaha, Tong Yuan, don't say nonsense. The truth is that he was a great contributor to helping King Master enter the city, and he was a great contributor to killing you and other sycophants!"
"You...I have never seen such a shameless person..."
Tong Yuan was so angry that he spurted out a mouthful of blood.
King Zhennan and Prime Minister Zuo got off the carriage and led the army up the steps step by step.
"Tong Yuan, where was His Majesty held hostage by you?"
King Zhennan said with a cold snort.
"Your Majesty... you are a traitor and a traitor, you still have the nerve to mention His Majesty, do you still have the nerve to mention His Majesty? This country, this country that has been inherited for five hundred years, has all been destroyed in the hands of you, a national thief!
I wish I could eat your flesh, sleep on your skin, and tear you into pieces!
Dog thief, come and die! "
Tong Yuan roared and slammed into King Zhennan.
"I'm going to fuck you!"
King Zhennan raised his foot and kicked Tong Yuan away.
He is the king who leads the troops in battle. Although his martial arts skills are not high and he is old, his strength is not comparable to that of a thin civil servant.
Tong Yuan was kicked out by him and hit hard into the hall.
I held my stomach and couldn't stand up for a long time.
King Zhennan stepped into the main hall, looked up and saw the dragon robe hanging on the beam.
"Tong Yuan, how dare you kill His Majesty!"
King Zhennan pointed at Tong Yuan and shouted.
Tong Yuan lay on the ground, unable to breathe for a long time. The kick just now almost killed him!
King Zhennan walked to the middle of the hall, held his palms in front of the emperor's body and bowed,
"Your Majesty, Wang Mingxuan of Zhennan, would like to send your Majesty to your funeral. Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely kill the traitors Tong Yuan and Sima Luan who forced you to death, and avenge your death!"
"Come here, help His Majesty down, tidy up the dragon's body, and hold a national funeral ceremony for His Majesty in the future!"
The King of Zhennan did not admit that he was treason, so he had to do enough to put on a show, at least on the surface, so that no one could find fault with him.
