The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 727 How many guards does the imperial court have?

King Yong wanted to meet Fang Hongji, a result that even Qiu Youxian didn't expect.

"It seems that this King Yong is not a hopeless person!" Fang Hongji said with a smile.

It was a good start to see King Yong, so he was in a good mood at the moment.

"Let's go... you follow the old man to see King Yong!"

After saying this, Fang Hongji turned to his students and said, "Stay here for now. If the old man dies in King Yong's barracks, you can go back to your hometown and tell the people about the cruelty of King Yong!"

"Yes!" A group of young and middle-aged men answered with tears in their eyes.

At this moment, they looked at the teacher enthusiastically, as if this was the last time they saw each other, and they wanted to imprint Fang Hongji in their memory.

"Let's go, let's go meet King Yong for a while!" Fang Hongji laughed loudly, and stepped off the bow first.

About 10 minutes later, they were taken to Pingyuan County Yawai, where Zhao Yanxun's command center was located.

Fang Hongji's complexion has become serious from the beginning of being heroic.

Just now, Fang Hongji had a close contact with the Yong army, and felt the powerful temperament and high fighting spirit of this army.

Compared with it, the army of the imperial court is completely one in the sky and one in the ground, and even a layman can feel it.

So now, without the backing of an army of 20, Fang Hongji lacked confidence and could only use morality as a weapon.

"You two, please!"

Standing outside the government office, Lin Quan was very contemptuous of the two people who went down the steps.

Although he was angry, Fang Hongji also knew that it was not the time to attack, so he walked inside together with Qiu Youxian.

To be honest, Fang Hongji only showed up with two people, and he did not show the demeanor of an imperial envoy, which disappointed the ministers standing in the inner courtyard of the second gate.

That's right, before meeting Zhao Yanxun, Fang Hongji had to fight these people.

Seeing one of the people on the opposite side, Qiu Youxian was very surprised and said: "Zhang Jingxuan, why don't you..."

The official named Zhang Jingxuan, Qiu Youxian had some contact with him, so he was the prefect of Donghe.

"Master Qiu, please stay safe!" Zhang Jingxuan said.

Qiu Youxian asked: "You actually surrendered King Yong, have you forgotten the sage's teaching of being loyal to the emperor and serving the country?"

"Liang Zhao Weilong has usurped the throne and committed cruelty and inhumanity. Do you want me to be loyal to him?"

Zhang Jingxuan cupped his hands in a salute, and then said: "A good bird chooses a tree to live in, and now it meets the Lord of the Ming Dynasty. This is not only my luck, but also the luck of everyone in the world!"

Qiu You said something first, and he responded directly with a few words, and his words were very righteous.

As a Confucian, Fang Hongji is very good at debating such matters, but at the moment he is not in a hurry to speak.

Just because he knew very well that even if he refuted everyone morally, it was just lip service and it would not help the overall situation.

"Everyone, we see His Royal Highness King Yong has something important to discuss, not to talk to you..."

Speaking of this, Fang Hongji smiled and said, "So, please step aside!"

Talking directly to King Yong is the most trouble-free way of communication. Talking to other people is nonsense.

At this time, someone immediately asked: "What are you doing to see His Highness?"

They got the authorization, so naturally they have to question more now, at least to get rid of Fang Hongji's arrogance.

"I am following the emperor's order to discuss important matters with His Royal Highness King Yong. You are so pressing, are you going to make decisions for King Yong?" Fang Hongji asked rhetorically.

Although he didn't want to argue with these people, but now they won't "let go" of him, so he can only be forced to accept the move.

"Old man, don't use these words to oppress us, Your Highness has a big heart, how could he be as intolerant as the thief who killed his father and king!"

While refuting Fang Hongji, these people and officials did not forget to scold Zhao Weilong. It can be said that this hatred is deeply rooted.

"You..." Fang Hongji blew his beard and stared angrily.

This made Qiu Youxian on the side very worried, deeply afraid that the Taifu would be angry.

Of course, at this moment, Qiu Youxian felt equally uncomfortable, but with his previous experience, his ability to bear it was stronger.

"Even if the old man doesn't say it, we can still guess..."

"The imperial court is now strong from the outside, but at the end of its strength...You must come here to seek peace!"

"My king's army is waiting in Jishui. As long as my king gives an order, it will be able to turn the puppet dynasty traitors into powder..."

"The old man is pedantic about heaven and man, and he must know the truth that a mantis' arm is like a cart, and a mayfly is like a tree..."

Everyone said something to each other, so that Fang Hongji couldn't get in his mouth at all.

"The old man knows the destiny and the current affairs. The number of days changes, and the artifacts are easier to buy. It is a natural principle for them to belong to virtuous people."

This sentence, in Fang Hongji's ears, only felt particularly harsh.

A virtuous person...Yong Wang Zhao Yanxun, the wolf rebelled with ambition, can he also be called a virtuous person?
Fang Hongji sarcastically said on the spot: "King Yong rebelled, spied on the great position, promoted an unknown teacher, and returned the common people to the community. How can he be called a virtuous person?"

Hearing this, Wang Shiwei, the governor of Hexi, said at this moment: "Old man, since His Highness was expelled and the puppet emperor stole the country, disasters have fallen from the sky, and ghosts have run rampant..."

"Only His Royal Highness King Yong, with all his heart and soul, wiped out the heaven and earth, all surnames fall in love with each other, and all directions look up to virtue. This is not taken by power, but by fate!"

A group of officials were all obtained through the imperial examination, and they are very good at citing scriptures.

Wang Shiwei's voice fell, and someone answered immediately: "The old man was ordered by the false emperor, so he must act against the principles of heaven and against human feelings? Don't you hear the ancient saying: Those who follow the sky will prosper, and those who go against the sky will perish."

"Today, my king has a division of tigers and wolves, who are invincible in all battles. How can the light of the rotten grass of the false dynasty compete with the bright moon?"

"If the old man abandons the darkness and turns to the light, and surrenders with courtesy, wouldn't it be beautiful if the country is safe and the people happy?"

All the demoted officials and obedient ministers in Prince Yong's Mansion talked so much, they didn't give Fang Hongji a chance to intervene.

They are even alone, and there are more than 20 people on the opposite side, which really puts them at a disadvantage.

Fang Hongji just thought it was ridiculous that these people wanted him to surrender, he would not surrender even if he died.

When Fang Hongji made a miracle, he only listened to Qiu Youxian who was on the sidelines and said: "You have read the books of sages and sages, and you have passed the imperial examination to become an official. No!"

At this time, even Fang Hongji, who didn't want to quarrel, shouted after Qiu Youxian finished speaking: "Since you are flattering ministers, you can only hide and shrink your head, just for food and clothing, how dare you lie about the number of days!"

"Second ministers and thieves, you have received the country's favor, but you have not done an inch of merit. You can only shake your lips and tongue. Helping thieves is like a dog with a broken spine, barking and barking in front of us loyal people!"

Speaking of this, Fang Hongji pointed to the people in front of him and asked, "I've never seen... such a shameless person like you!"

It has to be said that a great Confucianism is a great Confucianism, and he is very literary when he scolds people.

At this moment, Fang Hongji was fully fired and choked everyone in place, making Wang Shiwei and others very angry.

When the two sides were silent, a clear voice came from the corridor not far away: "Okay... It's so noisy, it really opened my eyes!"

Upon hearing the voice, all the officials present turned around, bowed to Zhao Yanxun who appeared under the eaves.

Continuing to quarrel is not an option after all, so Zhao Yanxun decided to show up, intending to directly ask Fang Hongji's purpose.

Walk along the corridor and walk to the threshold of the lobby. At this time, the little eunuch has placed a chair.

After Zhao Yanxun took his seat, there were more than a dozen officials standing on the left and right under the steps, and everyone was extremely respectful at the moment.

After gesturing for everyone to return to normal, Zhao Yanxun asked Fang Hongji: "Mr., my eldest nephew sent you here, what do you want to say to me?"

It has to be said that Fang Hongji was really amazed by Zhao Yanxun's demeanor.

This also made him understand why these officials admired King Yong so much. Judging from his appearance and demeanor, it can be seen that he does have the demeanor of a wise monarch.

Putting aside these messy thoughts in his mind, Fang Hongji replied: "His Royal Highness, peace is the most important thing in all things. If you continue to fight, you will only lose your life, and it will be of no benefit to anyone!"

"As long as you are willing to stop fighting, the imperial court can pardon your crimes, and it is not impossible even to crack the earth and seal the king!"

Cracking the earth to seal the king is tantamount to saying that it is a real seal, which has not happened in hundreds of years.

It seems that the conditions are not bad, but now that the battle has reached this stage, how can Zhao Yanxun give up.

"Mister, I just want to ask you one question!"

Hearing King Yong's response, Fang Hongji immediately replied: "Please, Your Highness!"

Zhao Yanxun was not polite, and asked in a cold voice: "The imperial court... how many elite guards does the imperial court have?"
