"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 191
After Chen Ziang led his troops to break through the Zhen'an Mansion, he went to the capital with great fanfare, causing panic in the capital.
The king's capital is the core of the entire Far Eastern dynasty. Knowing that the murderous rebel army rushed over, from the important ministers and nobles to the common people, they couldn't sit still.
"The thieves are about to kill them, so run for your life."
"I heard that where the bandits pass, no one will stay. Run away."
"The king has heavy guards, so the bandits shouldn't be able to get in, right?"
"Even if the imperial guards are defeated, the king may not be able to defend it."
The atmosphere of panic and depression pervaded the capital city, and everyone began to pack their bags and flee the city.
The Imperial Guard troops stationed inside and outside the city were also on the verge of a formidable enemy, with a feeling of jitteriness.
The prince served as the marshal of the royal capital's defense, and he thought he could use this to deprive the Yang family and Lu family of their military power in the Imperial Guard.
But now he found that he had taken over a hot potato, and before the internal guards could sort it out, the bandit army came to him.
If the king's capital is lost in his own hands, it will be a huge blow to his reputation, and it will be a problem whether he can inherit the great treasure.
"Yang Yunfeng is such a waste, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses can't even defend a Zhen'an Mansion!"
When he learned that Chen Zi'ang had breached the Zhen'an mansion, and the troops were pointing directly at the capital, the prince was also very angry.
He sent the left general Yang Yunfeng to lead his troops to Zhen'an Mansion. He originally wanted to delay the time.
Who knew that Yang Yunfeng, the left general, a dignified first-rank military lord, was defeated in a few days, and he was like mud that couldn't support the wall.
"Your Highness, someone is playing now. Let Your Majesty patrol the east to avoid the thieves. Your Highness, you will stay in the capital to fight against the thieves."
At this juncture, many court officials who were greedy for life and fear of death also knew that the capital had become extremely dangerous, and they began to play to persuade the emperor to go out for a parade.
These important officials of the court also had a good plan. As long as the emperor nodded and left the royal capital for an east tour, they could follow the emperor to flee for their lives in a grandiose manner.
If the emperor didn't leave, they, as important ministers of the court, naturally wouldn't be able to blatantly escape from the capital.
After the prince received the report from his subordinates, his complexion also became ugly. At this time, these important officials of the court did not think about how to fight against the bandit army, but wanted to escape for their lives. They really deserve to be killed!
Especially asking him, the prince, to stay in the capital, isn't that putting him on the crater and roasting him?
"No, you can't let father leave the capital."
The prince knew very well in his heart that the old emperor was already very weak, and he couldn't stand the fatigue of the journey.
What's more, at this time of panic, once the emperor left the capital, the hearts of the people would disperse.
Even though he still has a lot of imperial guards under his command, he is not sure that he can stop the legendary Chen Ziang.
"Order all the ministries to strengthen their vigilance, and quickly order all the king's soldiers and horses from all walks of life to rush to help, and those who disobey the order will be executed!"
After the prince hastily explained a few words about military affairs, he hurried to the imperial city. He was going to persuade his father, the emperor, not to leave the capital.
When the prince arrived in the imperial city in a hurry, Prime Minister Zuo Wang Huchen was in the old emperor's bedroom to persuade the emperor to sit in the capital and not to run away in the name of the east tour.
"Your Majesty, the royal capital has high walls and thick walls, and our army has more than a hundred thousand elite guards. Although it is not enough for field battles, it is more than enough to defend the city."
"As long as the imperial guards can stand firm for three to five days, and the soldiers and horses of Qin Wang from all over the place arrive, they can cooperate internally and externally to wipe out the bandit army in one fell swoop."
? Prime Minister Zuo Wang Huchen knew that the emperor's east tour would have a huge impact at this moment, so he had no choice but to persuade the emperor to stay.
"The imperial guards have not fought for a long time, can they stop the menacing bandit army?"
The old emperor is old now, and he doesn't have the courage he had when he was young, but he is a little afraid of death.
Wang Huchen replied: "Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince is weeding out the old and the weak in the Imperial Guard these days, and preparing the army for war. It is more than enough for them to defend the city."
"Besides, in addition to the imperial guards, the capital also has more than ten thousand soldiers and horses from the city patrol department, and can temporarily recruit one hundred thousand young and strong men to fight against the bandits."
After hearing Wang Huchen's words, the old emperor fell into hesitation. After all, the rebel army was unstoppable all the way to attack the city, and he still doubted the combat effectiveness of the defenders of the capital.
"Your Majesty, you are sitting in the capital of the king, and you can rest easy if soldiers from all walks of life come to serve the king. Now there are bandits in all provinces. Once you patrol east, it will be even more dangerous if you are targeted by the bandits."
Facing the hesitant emperor, Prime Minister Zuo Wang Huchen also had to tell the truth about the danger of the Eastern Tour.
Hearing that the outside is also very dangerous, the old emperor also felt a headache. How did a good dynasty become the corrupted state it is today? There is no safe place.
"That's all, if that's the case, then I won't make an east tour."
After thinking about it for a while, the old emperor finally gave up his plan to tour the east, because it seemed safer to stay in the capital.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness, please see me."
At this time, the servant came in from the door.
"Xuan."
The old emperor rubbed his temples, and ordered his servants to let the prince in.
"My son pays homage to his father, wishing his father a healthy dragon body."
The prince walked into the bedroom under the guidance of his servants. Seeing that the left prime minister, Wang Huchen, was also there, he nodded slightly, and immediately saluted the emperor.
"Stay flat."
"Thank you, Father."
"Emperor, where are the bandits?"
The old emperor is now very concerned about the current war situation, after all, the rebel army has already threatened the capital.
The prince replied: "Reporting to the emperor, the bandit army has already passed the Zhen'an mansion, and it is estimated that they will reach the capital of the king in three to five days."
"Can the capital be defended?" the old emperor asked again.
Now the crown prince is the marshal guarding the royal capital, and he is eager to hear the crown prince's answer.
The prince has no idea about whether he can keep the capital, but now he doesn't want the emperor to leave, because once he leaves, he will be a substitute for the dead.
The prince bit his bullet and replied: "Reporting to the emperor, the royal capital has high walls and thick walls, and the imperial guards are elite troops, so my son can defend it."
"well."
After getting the answer from the crown prince himself, the old emperor finally felt relieved, because the crown prince would never lie to him.
The old emperor immediately looked at the prince and asked, "I don't know what is your business here?"
"I heard that my father is going to tour the east?"
After the prince paused, he asked a tentative question.
"Your Highness, those are the thoughts of some courtiers who are greedy for life and fear of death, so it can't be taken seriously." Prime Minister Zuo interjected from the side.
"You don't have to worry, the emperor. I will personally sit in the capital and beat the drums to cheer you up. You can rest assured to meet the enemy."
The old emperor also guessed what the prince was thinking, and spoke to dispel his doubts.
"My son, thank you, Father."
Seeing that the emperor had no intention of going east, the prince was also relieved. What he was afraid of was that the emperor would leave and leave him to meet the enemy.
"Father, there are not enough troops to defend the city, and I request that young men be recruited to help defend the city."
Although he boasted that Haikou was able to defend the capital, the prince also knew that the imperial guards were useless, so he made his own request.
"I agree."
Regarding his own safety, the old emperor agreed without even thinking about it.
"It takes a lot of money to recruit young and strong"
"You can discuss this matter with Wang Aiqing. How much money you need can be transferred from the national treasury."
"I'm tired, please step back."
Perhaps it was because there were too many things going on recently, and the old emperor was weak, so after a few simple instructions, he dismissed the crown prince and Prime Minister Zuo.
