Faced with everyone's accusations, Chunyu An had nothing to say. Helping Li Jian to ascend the throne was the biggest mistake he made in his life, and also the one thing he regretted the most. If he knew that Duanmu Anguo would bring such a huge disaster to Zong Sui, he would definitely have killed that old thief the first time he saw him.
Unfortunately, it was too late to say anything now, he made a huge mistake and could not be undone. Li Jian had asked him to send troops to defend Gan City, he did not go because he knew that it would be useless even if he went. Under the attack of Dashun's powerful weapons, no matter how many people he had in Zong Sui, it would not be enough. It was not that he did not think that Zong Sui had many people, Dashun would fight wars, but he still had to consider his reputation, he could not be too inhumane. So many lives were blocked there, he did not believe that Dashun could kill everyone with an explosion.
But it was different now, the Seventh Prince was dead, that was the older brother who grew up with the Ninth Prince under the same mother! The Ninth Prince was enraged, how could he care about how many people there were. Look, a city was lost in a few days, a province was lost in a few days, he calculated that in less than a month, Dashun's army would reach the capital.
He had nothing to say to the court officials, but he could not do nothing. He did not defend Gan City, but he still had to defend this capital, after all, his home was here, he could not just abandon his home.
Of course, Chunyu An was not stupid, he had already made plans for the worst case scenario. Once the capital was lost, the people he arranged in the imperial palace would immediately take action, Chunyu Qing would take the lead to kidnap Li Jian, then he would personally send him to Xuan Tianming, using this to exchange for the Chunyu family's continued survival under Dashun's rule.
This was Chunyu An's plan, and at that time, Li Jian was showing off in the Empress' Central Palace, pointing at Chunyu Qing and scolding: "You jinx, it's all your Chunyu family's fault, causing my Zong Sui to end up in this state. We asked Chunyu An that old man to defend the borders, but he did not go, now he brought an army to surround the capital. Does he want to defend the capital, or does he want to surround us to death in the capital? Chunyu Qing! What is your family up to? "
Hearing his accusations, Chunyu Qing's expression was calm, neither shocked nor moved, she only told Li Jian: "Retract the hand that you are pointing at this One! What right do you have to criticize me? My father put you on the throne, but he never asked you to fall out with Dashun. It was you who was greedy, it was not enough to kill your father and brother to obtain Zong Sui, you actually conspired with that old scoundrel Duanmu to have designs on Dashun. Li Jian, oh Li Jian, why don't you think about it, for a few hundred years, Zong Sui has been under Dashun and could not turn the situation around. Why, once you take the position, you can change it? Back then, Dashun did not have steel, but Zong Sui had iron essence. Even so, Zong Sui could not defeat Dashun. Where did you get the confidence to think that you can subdue Dashun? Just relying on Duan Mu An Guo's heavenly lightning? Bah! Dream on! "
Li Jian was insulted by her like a grandson, no one had scolded him like this since he was young, not even the previous Emperor. But now, he was being scolded by a woman, and this woman was even his Empress. He really wanted to kill Chunyu Qing now, what a pity! Li Jian felt sorrowful, he did not even have the time to get rid of the obstacles in this imperial palace, all of them were replaced by his own forces. If he acted against Chunyu Qing now, behind Chunyu Qing, there would be a large number of people arranged by the Chunyu family to protect her, the person who would die might be him.
But Li Jian was unwilling! He told Chunyu Qing: "Duan Mu An Guo's heavenly lightning was not completely useless, at least he killed Dashun's Seventh Prince! Do you know that Seventh Prince? It is said that he is like a deity, all the women in the world are moved by him. We remember that in our capital, many bookstores would secretly sell portraits of that Seventh Prince, those women would buy them and hang them on their beds to look at them day and night, missing them, even that Imperial Sister of Our could not escape the Seventh Prince's love tribulation. Chunyu Qing, We are very curious, have you done such a thing in the past? "
As the saying goes, hit someone but do not hit their face, expose someone but do not expose their shortcomings, Li Jian's move was good, stabbing right into Chunyu Qing's heart. Chunyu Qing was already feeling uneasy these few days because of Xuan Tianhua's matter, to the point that she did not even remember what Fang Jinse said to her when she came to the Central Palace, she was clearly listening, but in the end, she did not remember a single word. Xuan Tianhua's death had almost hollowed out her entire soul, she sent many people to search for Duan Mu An Guo, wanting to personally take revenge for Xuan Tianhua. Unfortunately, it was too difficult.
Right now, Li Jian actually used this matter to poke at her heart, Chunyu Qing's eyes were red, glaring at Li Jian, hating that she could not tear him apart! "Li Jian!" Chunyu Qing clenched her teeth tightly, only then was she able to prevent her voice from trembling too much, she said: "So what if I did it before? So what if I adored you before? The Chunyu family married me to you and supported you to the throne wholeheartedly, you got everything you wanted. You became the Emperor, you could have 3000 beauties in your imperial harem, if you did not seek death, you would be the most free and happy person in the world. But all of this was caused by you! Now that the country is gone, your home is also gone, what is the use of asking me if I had feelings for that Seventh Prince? Li Jian, let me tell you, it is because I had feelings for him before, so, he died, not only will I find that Duan Mu An Guo to be buried with him, you will also never be able to walk out of this imperial palace. Your thousands and thousands of lives cannot compare to him alone, but I will still use your fresh blood to comfort his soul. "
Li Jian was scared silly, the capital had not been conquered yet, the Dashun army had not attacked the capital yet, but Chunyu Qing's words gave him a sense of crisis like his life was about to end. He pointed at Chunyu Qing, retreating step by step: "You're crazy!" He said: "Chunyu Qing, you're crazy! You're all crazy! "
"You were the one who went crazy first!" Chunyu Qing said loudly: "If you did not conspire with that old thief Duan Mu, how would Zong Sui end up in its current state? Li Jian, Zong Sui is gone, it is not just your country that is gone, there is also my home! The home of all of Zong Sui's citizens! A person like you should go to the eighteenth level of hell! "
In Zong Sui's imperial palace, the Emperor and Empress were arguing fiercely. At the same time, Xuan Tianming's army had already set up camp 30 miles away from Zong Sui's capital.
The soldiers fought continuously, even though they were already exhausted, the hatred of the Seventh Prince Xuan Tianhua was still deeply buried in their hearts, with the support of this hatred, even if they were tired, they wanted to charge into the capital and tear that Zong Sui Emperor into pieces.
In this continuous attack of more than ten cities, even though the Dashun army did not use any more grenades, the machine guns in the hands of the Divine Firearms Army soldiers were not to be trifled with. No matter how accurate the gun was at attacking the target, it would not cause a large scale explosion effect like grenades and landmines, thus reducing the degree of accidental injuries to the greatest extent. In addition, before they attacked a city, they would send out countless hidden guards to infiltrate the city in advance, publicly telling the citizens to either escape or hide in their houses and not come out. Dashun would begin his attack at what time of day and time, as long as they did not come out of their houses, they would not be harmed. As for the damage to the houses caused by the battle, after Dashun took over the cities, they would all be repaired and the citizens would be compensated after the battle.
At the start, the citizens of the few cities did not believe it and most people chose to escape. After all, Dashun's achievements of massacring and bombing a city were there for all to see, they were all afraid. Even if they already heard that those two cities were actually destroyed in Duan Mu Anguo's hands, the citizens still did not dare to take the risk. The loyalty of the citizens of Zong Sui to the country had already dwindled with the ascension of the new Emperor Li Jian. Facing Dashun, they did not even have any thoughts of resisting, only thinking of hiding far away, hoping that Dashun would not attack further.
But how could Dashun not attack, the soldiers hated and wanted to take revenge for the Seventh Prince. Xuan Tianming and Feng Yu Heng hated even more, they hated so much that they wanted to raze Zong Sui to the ground. Therefore, Dashun attacked one city after another, the citizens hid in all directions and finally could not run anymore, so they had no choice but to stop, following what the Dashun people said, staying in their houses and not showing their heads. Then they found that Dashun really kept his word, as long as they did not show their heads, they would not be harmed, he also helped to rebuild the houses that were destroyed, after the reconstruction, it was many times better than the original.
In addition, Feng Yu Heng had already asked Dashun to send a letter back when the city was being built, asking the Hundred Herb Halls in various places to transfer people to gather in Zong Sui, so that she could also open Hundred Herb Halls in the cities that she took over in Zong Sui.
Therefore, the citizens of Zong Sui were happy, they finally found that Dashun was much better than Zong Sui, what massacring cities, they made the Ninth Prince sound like the King of Hell, but he was good! It was good for the citizens, even if it was war, the lives of the citizens were much more stable than before. The construction of the Hundred Herb Hall made them even more excited, Feng Yu Heng acted time and time again to treat difficult illnesses, getting rid of them easily, causing the people of Zong Sui to call her a living Bodhisattva with miraculous hands.
But a living Bodhisattva still had to go to war, on the battlefield, she was the Bodhisattva of the citizens, on the battlefield, she was the soul reaping envoy of Zong Sui's soldiers. This envoy reaped their souls until they were outside the capital, Xuan Tianming announced to the army that they would attack Zong Sui's capital three days later!
When Dashun attacked three days later, the citizens of Zong Sui's capital heard about this news, but they were not afraid. They had heard about the situation after those cities were taken over, so when the country faced a crisis, not only were they not afraid, they even hoped that Dashun could attack quickly, quickly ousting that annoying Emperor from the throne! They had feelings for their homeland, but they were loyal to Zong Sui, to this piece of land, and not to the Li family dynasty. To the citizens, as long as their home was still there, who would support this country, that was not something they should worry about. As long as the person in power could let them live a good life, as long as the person in power could let them continue to live, they did not care if this country was surnamed Li or Xuan.
The people all waited for Dashun to attack without saying anything, the citizens walking on the streets reminded each other: "On the day Dashun attacks the city, you must not leave your houses! Just stay at home, even if the walls of your houses collapse, don't care, you must not show your face. Dashun's weapons do not have eyes, as long as you do not leave your houses, they will not harm you, the collapsed walls will also help you rebuild them. "
The attitude of the citizens also affected the court officials, everyone no longer attended court, preparing to imitate the actions of the citizens. Anyway, the one who had enmity with Dashun was the imperial Li family, if the person in power in the Li family was a sensible person, they would really be willing to live and die with Zong Sui. Unfortunately, the person in power was Li Jian, that would be haha.
In Zong Sui's capital, everyone was waiting quietly, waiting for the great calamity three days later … …
