The Prodigal Son of the Empire

It's very close.

It only takes one day at most to reach the outside of Shouchun City!

By this time, the people felt that they were not as flustered as they were at first, because it was useless.

Even if you escape, it's too late.

What made people speechless was that their majesty still did not take any measures, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the upcoming grand ceremony.

It is said that he personally arranged all kinds of decorations, and was busy with these every day. He ignored the government affairs, let alone the war, and handed over all government affairs to the chief assistant Ji Wuchang!

The courtiers understood that His Majesty had given up.

This is the last madness, and it is also an act of waiting for death!

It is impossible for Shouchun to resist the enemy, which is the consensus of all.

Once Shouchun is broken, Da Chu will perish!

Subjugation, this is something that many people cannot accept.

Many people spontaneously asked to join the army to guard Shouchun, and many veterans directly committed suicide and died for the country. They did not want to see the day when Shouchun was breached.

Of course, there are still many senior officials who are quite dissatisfied.

These families all have huge wealth. The Emperor of Chu will not escape, but they want to escape. With this wealth, they can live comfortably in Eastern Chu.

But now the gates of Shouchun City are closed, no entry or exit is allowed!

And all the people in the city can only wait to die!

In the square outside the palace, many people kneel every day, either admonishing, or waiting to be martyred, or venting their dissatisfaction.

Some of them are those who have just spent a lot of money to obtain official titles.

They feel cheated!

At the beginning, the Emperor Chu personally sold his officials and nobles, and this official position has not yet been warmed up. Now the country is about to perish!

Who can accept this?

In short, there was chaos everywhere.

When facing a real war, no one can face it calmly.

And at this time, the busiest person was not Chu Huangxiang Lintian, but the chief assistant Ji Wuchang!

Now he's in charge of everything.

His official residence is about to be trampled to pieces, and there are always many people around outside the yamen, but not everyone can see it...

"Master Shoufu, the enemy is coming, what should we do?"

"You are the emperor's teacher, and His Majesty will definitely listen to you. You have to persuade His Majesty to cheer up. Our Shouchun is the capital of the country, and as many people as there are, we have as much strength. As long as His Majesty shows up in person, it can boost morale and appeal to public opinion. He is defending Shouchun!"

"Yes!"

"Your Majesty has gone astray and only cared about that demon girl. As subjects, we must do our best!"

Everyone gathered around Ji Wuchangfa, talking non-stop...

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Here are all important officials of the Great Chu court, who occupy high positions and have important positions, and some are the heads of aristocratic families in Shouchun City.

In short, they are all extremely influential figures, and they all came to discuss with Ji Wuchang when they met.

"Since His Majesty won't leave, can you let us leave?"

An old man dressed in fine clothes said cautiously: "We are innocent, and the enemy army has not yet attacked, there is still a chance..."

"Liang Sheng, don't think we don't know your little thoughts, you are worried about your money!"

"Then what's the matter? Are you going to wait for the enemy to enter the city and loot them all?"

"How did you get your money? You don't know. If Da Chu wasn't for you moths, why would he be here?"

"Hello? Are you capable of guarding the city wall? What are you doing here? You're not talking about it!"

"A person who is useless is a scholar!"

One word from you, one word from me, actually started arguing, making the hall into a mess like a vegetable market!

"enough!"

At this time, an old man scolded: "What kind of decency is Cheng, it's already this time, why are you still arguing?"

This old man has reached his sixtieth year, but he is highly respected, and he once stepped down from his high position.

After scolding everyone, he looked at Ji Wuchang and said, "Master Chief Assistant, Your Majesty is ignoring the government and the enemy is about to attack. As Chief Assistant, you should stand up and preside over the overall situation!"

"Tell me, whether you want money or people, we will obey. What Master Liu said just now is right. Shouchun is the capital of the country and has a large population. As long as it is recruited, I believe everyone will come forward..."

"It's not necessary."

Ji Wuchang interrupted him and said in a low voice: "There are some things I can do, and some things I can't do at all."

"At this time, it is impossible to call on the people. Even if we can accumulate some strength, can we stop it? You must know that the enemy has nearly a million troops!"

Everyone was silent for a while.

this is the truth!

It's like a mountain that weighs them down!

"But should we just sit around and do nothing?"

someone asked.

"Don't you guys understand? Your Majesty has already given up, and has given up completely!"

Ji Wuchang said in a low voice: "If you still have Da Chu and Your Majesty in your heart, then follow His Majesty's wish and hold a grand empress ceremony, then there will be no regrets..."

hear this.

Everyone was silent.

Yes!
