Under the steps outside the main hall, blood flowed all over the floor.
In the main hall, the ministers were still kneeling tightly on the ground, with their buttocks raised high.
"Retreat!" Xiao Yuan shouted inside and walked away from the palace gate.
After he left for a while, the ministers stood up tremblingly.
Why people are so silent is because it has something to do with Xia Ping's identity.
After leaving the hall, looking at the imperial army cleaning the scene outside, the ministers couldn't help but swallowed secretly, and then began to leave the place in twos and threes.
On the way out of the palace, someone was walking together and couldn't help but tremblingly said:
"That's the founding general..."
"The Earl is so powerful that he has made great achievements in battle..."
Many people grinned secretly.
Shangguan Wenruo shook his head and sighed softly:
"Some people, after becoming successful and famous, no longer know who they are. This is a taboo for a king. Not to mention an earl, it doesn't work for anyone..."
"The majesty of a king cannot be violated." Liu Yuzhi also shook his head.
After this incident, Xiao Yuan once again purged the officialdom, which cheered up the entire Qin State.
With the completion of the Chuanjiang Weir, fertile fields thousands of miles away in central Sichuan have been nourished and irrigated.
Xiao Yuan issued another royal order and began to recuperate, develop education and open schools.
At the same time, they strengthened their troops, expanded their armaments, and built strong bows and crossbows, hoping to increase the number of Qin's Central Army to 800,000 men.
At this time, the huge benefits brought by his destruction of Jin worked and laid a solid foundation for Qin's strength.
Under his series of decrees, the huge machine of Qin began to operate, and everything began to develop in a favorable direction.
The three main policies of the military, agriculture, and education have undergone qualitative changes.
Time flies by.
Just when there was finally a brief period of peace in the Central Plains, another major event happened.
A secret message came from Zhong Bai's old tribe and Wei Qing. The Yan and Ling kingdoms were about to attack the imperial city and occupy the imperial capital.
Wei Qing had been Xiao Yuan's subordinate for a long time, and he had only been deploying imperial troops. After receiving his secret letter, Xiao Yuan immediately replied to him, telling the latter to preserve the strength of the Yangzhou Army, not to act rashly, and wait for him the next secret letter.
At this time, why Yanling wants to attack the Imperial Capital is because their territory has extended to the side of the Imperial Capital, and the Imperial Capital is too prosperous! Gathering the world's wealth, Shang Rui spent his life extravagantly and built many splendid palaces.
After occupying this place, the gold and silver, to put it exaggeratedly, can buy half of the country.
After looking at the wealth in front of them all day long, it is conceivable that the two kings of Yanling couldn't bear it anymore.
However, this comes with a certain risk, and it is very likely that the world will criticize you.
This war did not last long at all. In less than a month, the imperial army was completely defeated. Six or seven of the 100,000 troops were gone.
The two Yanling Kingdoms had not only brave generals, but also top-ranking commanders in the world. One can imagine the result. Lu Bolin was beaten to a disgrace. After escaping back to the palace, he also knelt in the main hall with his armor crooked. , said in a trembling voice:
"Your Majesty! The two kings of Yanling have rebelled. Hundreds of thousands of troops are approaching the capital. I am really no match for this..."
ah! ?
Hearing this, all the imperial ministers in the palace panicked.
Prime Minister Dong Hua stood up immediately and said urgently: "Your Majesty, the situation is very critical now. The capital city cannot be defended and cannot stop the Yanling Army. It is better to retreat as soon as possible and seek help from other countries. "
"Then...who will help me?" Shang Rui was even more panicked than him, and his tone had already changed.
At this time, the concubine who was sitting with him on the dragon chair lightly opened her red lips and said in a calm voice: "Your Majesty, you can go to Huan Kingdom and seek help from King Huan. After all, Huan Kingdom is a big country, and our ancestors were sealed by the emperor. Now, When the emperor is in trouble, King Huan will definitely not sit idly by and ignore it."
"Yes, yes, then...then go to Huan Kingdom?" Shang Rui said repeatedly.
"The concubine is right," Dong Hua said in agreement.
Another minister came out and said: "I think it is better to go to Wu Chu than to go to Huan State, because Yan Ling has fought with Wu Chu and will definitely help your majesty."
Some ministers also said: "I think that even Wu Chuhuan should not go. It is better to go to the Liang Kingdom. The Liang army is brave and good at fighting. As long as the Liang King is willing to help His Majesty, he will be able to defeat the Yanling army..."
For a time, the ministers in the hall had a dispute over where to escape.
Shang Rui looked around and was about to speak, but the concubine frowned and shouted coldly: "Shut up! I want to go to Huan Kingdom not only because of King Huan, but also because of geographical issues. Can you understand? "
"This..." People looked at each other, and then saluted together: "Your Majesty is wise, and your empress is virtuous..."
Next, Shang Rui began to take the harem concubines, the civil and military officials of the dynasty, fled in a hurry, abandoned the imperial capital, and began his second exile.
A few days later, the Yanling army invaded the capital.
In the palace, the two kings of Yanling were welcomed into the palace gate by soldiers from both armies.
Although everything is in a mess now, and there are no palace maids or eunuchs, there are countless majestic palaces, and the area they cover is even more terrifying.
After a week of casual inspection, King Ling couldn't help but shook his head and sighed: "The imperial palace is the palace, it is the largest palace in the world. Look at the scale of this palace. It is many times bigger than my Lingwang Palace. "
Hearing this, King Yan chuckled lightly and said, "The emperor has run away. Now the capital is ours. How to share the wealth here? Brother Ling Wang, you and I still have to discuss it carefully."
"As long as it doesn't hurt the harmony, that's fine, as long as it doesn't hurt the harmony." The Spirit King said with a smile.
The two of them were talking, and at this moment, a senior general of Yan Kingdom walked over quickly, came close to King Yan, and whispered in his ear:
"Your Majesty, I found the Imperial Seal."
"What!?" Hearing this, King Yan subconsciously yelled, then glanced at King Ling, and followed the general away quickly.
Seeing this, the Spirit King raised his eyebrows slightly and followed with interest.
At the same time, the Qin Palace and study room.
Due to the strength of military intelligence, news of the emperor's escape had been transmitted back at this time.
In the study room, besides Xiao Yuan, there was also Shangguan Wenruo.
After the latter learned the news, he immediately said: "Your Majesty, if the emperor escapes from the imperial capital, he will definitely seek help from other countries, and Shang Rui, no matter how he is, is orthodox. Among all the kings in the world, whoever gets him first will have his hand." It’s like having an imperial flag.”
"That's right! With the Imperial Flag, whatever you do, you will be known for your excellence!"
Xiao Yuan took over the conversation with a faint look in his eyes:
"Gu Dang immediately leads the cavalry and marches under the stars and night to rob the emperor! At that time, he can take the emperor with him and command the princes! He will be the leader in the world!"
"No, no, no, what the king said is wrong. He respects the emperor and respects the emperor." Shangguan Wenruo said repeatedly.
"Hahaha--"
When Xiao Yuan heard this, he looked up and smiled and said: "Okay, okay, respect the emperor, respect the emperor..."
