” How can this be?!” Without waiting for Emperor Yong Ping to speak, King

Jiang Xia jumped up and said,'”‘This is the emperor of Daliang. How can there be no guards in the palace?!”

It was protecting him!

Have you never played chess before?

He had never heard of anyone pushing the two men beside the handsome man

to the other side of the river.

What was the Imperial Army? They were there to protect the Emperor. How could they leave a naked Emperor in the palace? They might as well send him directly to the Prince of Guiyang.

“That’s right. The Emperor is the soul of Daliang, the pillar of Daliang. How can he send the imperial guards outside?”Prince Huaiyang was the second to speak.

This was all because he had stood on the wrong side in the case of Empress Wang forcing the abdication. If he didn’t show his loyalty now, when would he?

Huai Yang was the second to express his opposition.

“No! Absolutely no!”

“The Emperor is the Emperor of Daliang. You can’t do this.’With the two princes ‘stance, the hall instantly exploded.

The civil officials did not agree. Although the generals had not gone through all this, they were still happy to see it happen. After all, they were the ones who went to the battlefield to kill, and they were the ones who died the fastest. With the emperor to live and die with them, just thinking about it made their blood boil, right?

His eyes were filled with excitement.

Was Emperor Yong Ping willing?

Of course not.

On the surface, Emperor Yong Ping did not dare to challenge Xie Xian in order to maintain his calm persona. After all, he was the one who said that they would live and die together.

He could not slap his own face.

However, he said this purely to encourage and motivate them. He also knew that once the Prince of Guiyang invaded Jiankang and gained power, he would be the first to be slaughtered.

However, this did not mean that he would completely give up on resisting. Even if the city was broken, at least his palace was still there. He could still resist for a while. Who knew, there might be a turning point.

Even if he saw the hopeful look in the general’s eyes, he could only pretend not to see it, cherishing his life.

Xie Xian: “Your Majesty, the city is broken, the country is destroyed, and the

family is destroyed.””

“The army of the King of Guiyang is about to attack the city from the south. At this time, we should concentrate all our forces to defend the entire Jiankang City, rather than splitting up our forces and leaving a large number of Imperial Army soldiers to guard the Imperial City.

“Looking at it from another perspective, the army guarding the city is always larger than the Imperial Army. Once the city is broken, how can the Imperial Army withstand the flames of war from all directions? It was better to work together to defend the city and live and die with the people!”He was talking nonsense. At the very least, the city had fallen, but the palace was still intact, and the emperor was still alive.

But unlike Xie Xian, he didn’t care about the truth or lies. If he didn’t say something serious, how could he make the Emperor submit?

He wanted to protect the people of the city, not just the emperor who lived and died for the throne. Moreover, he did not believe that he could not win.

Without him, they had already defeated the Prince of Guiyang, so why couldn’t they win with him?!

“Your Majesty, I am willing to go to Stone City and die with you.”

The generals immediately looked at Xie Xian in a new light. This was someone who was not afraid of death and was also a person who served the country and the people!

Since they had come to this point, Emperor Yong Ping had no choice but to express his stance. He gritted his teeth, and his heart twitched.

“What are you talking about! I am the Son of Heaven. I swear to live and die with the people. I will do what I say! Don’t try to persuade me anymore. Leave no imperial guards in the palace. All of them will listen to Xie Pushe’s orders!”Emperor Yong Ping slapped the table and spoke righteously.

He had no choice but to say that.

Emperor Yong Ping thought to himself, I’m only fourteen years old, and I’ve only been on the throne for three months. The national funeral has yet to be over, and the heavens are treating him too poorly. The tests come one after another, and he’s a little unable to cope.

However, words had to be said and things had to be done. Otherwise, it would be fine if Jiankang City was broken. He would not care about his reputation even if he died. However, once the Central Army won, he would be able to keep his throne. In the future, who knew how many people would stab him in the back? He dared to say something but did not dare to do it. It would be a stain on his life.

He straightened his back and gritted his teeth.

Everyone took a look. Great, it was still Xie Xian.

With a few words, Emperor Yong Ping personally went into the water.

Since the Emperor had spoken so forcefully, they did not stop him. Prince Huaiyang and Prince Jiangxia also stopped while they were ahead. They just had to make their stance clear. Now that the Emperor had spoken, it would be too much to continue acting. Immediately, the golden bell rang and the soldiers withdrew.

At such a critical moment, there was no time to be pretentious.

Even Emperor Yong Ping was a little disappointed and no one stopped me. Although he wouldn’t change his mind even if they tried to stop him, he still felt a little bitter when no one jumped out. If Noble Consort Liu was still alive, she would care about the lives of others. The rise and fall of the country, and his son couldn’t be left alone…

These were just thoughts in his heart. The one who really treated him well was his own mother.

The original generals remained unchanged, with Xue Jing ‘er garrisoning Xinting and King Jiangxia guarding Stone City. Now, the Imperial Army and the Royal Guards were added to the ranks, and they were led by Yang Shao.

The Royal Guards were not divided into two armies, but were stationed on the banks of the Qinhuai River as emergency troops.

Whether it was Xinting or Stone City, where it was dangerous, Yang Shao led

the army to rush over to rescue.

After the deduction, everyone returned to their positions. These few days, everyone’s minds were tense. They did not dare to be negligent for a moment. After they dispersed, they all returned to guard.

Emperor Yong Ping agreed to everything. He didn’t even allow the palace guards to stay, but he didn’t let Xie Xian go.

“Your body is delicate and precious. You won’t be of any help even if you go to defend the city. You should be in the middle and take control of the situation.”No matter what, he wouldn’t let Xie Xian leave. This was his pillar of white jade that could support the sky, a beam of purple gold that could support the sea. With Xie Xian around, his heart would feel at ease.

All the officials retreated, leaving Xie Xian behind.

Emperor Yong Ping sat on the dragon throne. It was as if grass had grown on his butt and he could not sit still.

Originally, the palace was his last line of defense. It was the hardest shell of a turtle. Now, it was all gone. Other than the palace hall and the dozen or so generals who stood guard, the rest of the royal guards had all retreated. But even if he did not personally see the imperial guards that were like air every day, he could feel that the entire palace was empty.

It seemed to be a dilapidated house. The people had moved away, and the house had lost its liveliness.

Emperor Yong Ping panicked.

Naturally, Xie Xian wasn’t the only one who stayed in the palace. Chief Justice Xi had been sick for a long time and was on the verge of dying. Now, he also stood out in high spirits. The five ministers were also there to coordinate the deployment and defeat the enemy.

However, even if these people were all in there, they could not make up for the damage to Emperor Yong Ping’s soul caused by the lack of the Imperial Guards. He tried to act as if he was confident and vowed to live and die with Jiankang, but he knew whether he was confident or not. It was as if he was hanging in midair.

He asked Xie Xian,

“What are our chances of winning?”

“Nine points.” Xie Xian replied.

Emperor Yong Ping was shocked, but he was also relieved.

Xie Xian was not a person who spoke without thinking. There was actually no need to lie at such a critical moment.

He believed it!

The monarch and his subject looked at each other. Xie Xian smiled faintly.

He expressed that this answer was inevitable. If he said one point or two points, it would only scare the Emperor into peeing his pants. It was better to say it in a higher tone. No matter who it was, it would be pleasant to the ear.

He was just spouting nonsense.

If there was only one chance of victory in a battle, and the Prince of Guiyang still wanted to attack Jiankang, was he stupid? He was tired of living for too long and wanted to walk to his death?

Of course, the most important thing was that he had confidence in Jiankang.

He was overseeing the city, and there was also the emperor Yang Shao from his previous life. In addition, there were many elite soldiers.. If this could not compare to his previous life and he actually did not manage to defend Jiankang City, then who would be the one to blame if he lost?
