Time travel, sell Tang poems at the beginning

Next, information about the Battle of Hegu Pass began to be sent to the imperial study continuously. Looking at the information on the imperial desk, Murong Zhengming's face began to become more and more ugly.

Time passed little by little, and the sky gradually darkened.

"Your Majesty, it's time for dinner."

Murong Zhengming waved his hand, "Eunuch Cao, it's already so late, how can I have the mood to eat? Please leave first!"

"Old slave, please resign!"

Cao Chun bowed, turned around and left the imperial study. However, Cao Chun did not go far. He stood guard at the door of the imperial study, ready to be ordered at any time.

An hour later.

Fengyutai Assistant Wu Kaiyuan hurried to the outside of the imperial study again. Cao Chun immediately went forward to greet him, "Assistant Wu, you are finally here. His Majesty is waiting to see the latest battle report from Hegu Pass!"

Cao Chun took Wu Kaiyuan's hand and walked directly into the imperial study. When he saw Wu Kaiyuan, Murong Zhengming immediately stood up from the dragon throne.

"Lord Wu, there is no need to be so polite. Just tell me how the battle at Hegu Pass went."

Wu Kaiyuan quickly cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, at 5 p.m. this afternoon, the Yan army captured Hegu Pass, and Duan Qingyuan and Jiang Weidong led their troops to surrender to the Yan army."

Murong Zhengming slumped on the dragon throne, his face terribly gloomy. "Pass on my decree. All the family members of Duan Qingyuan and Jiang Weidong must be executed immediately."

"The minister obeys the order!"

Wu Kaiyuan bowed, turned around and quickly left the imperial study...

"Eunuch Cao, pass on my order to the Crown Prince, Prince Jin, Prince Rui, Grand Marshal Chen Shiheng, Minister of the Central Secretariat Gao Yanqing, and Grand Chancellor Wan Tiankui to come to the Imperial Study to see me immediately."

"Old slave obeys!"

Cao Chun cupped his hands, turned and left the imperial study room...

Fifty thousand naval forces plus one hundred thousand defenders at Hegu Pass were able to hold off Yan's army for just one day. The strength of Yan's army was beyond Murong Zhengming's imagination.

Although Hegu City still has 200,000 troops, Murong Zhengming has no confidence at all that he can stop the attack of Yan's army.

It’s over. I’m afraid that my Great Yue is completely finished. Am I going to become the king of a fallen country soon?

No, no, no, Dai Viet must not be destroyed in my hands. Since I can't defend Hegu City, I will simply abandon the city and leave. My Dai Viet Kingdom has such a large territory, with high mountains, dense forests and dense rivers. It may not be so easy for the Yan Kingdom to completely annex my Dai Viet.

Murong Zhengming calmed down and thought that it was because of Lin Feng that Huangfu Gongcheng was able to unify the world and achieve the supreme divine cause in Yan State. He couldn't help but resent the injustice of God.

Oh, God, why did you only send one Lin Feng to Huangfu Gongcheng? Why didn't you also have a Lin Feng in my Great Yue?

At this moment, Murong Zhengming blamed the heavens, the earth and the air, but never thought about his own problems. This might be a common problem among kings who lost their country!

Two quarters of an hour later, the Crown Prince, Prince Jin, Prince Rui, Chen Shiheng, Gao Yanqing and Wan Tiankui all stood in front of Murong Zhengming.

"My son, I pay my respects to my father!"

"My lord, please pay homage to Your Majesty!"

Murong Zhengming looked up at the six people and slowly said, "Early this morning, the Yan army marched south, and the 50,000 navy was completely wiped out. Hegu Pass was also captured by the Yan army. Except for those who died in the battle, the rest of the 100,000 defenders all surrendered to the Yan army."

"Hegu Pass is only sixty miles away from Hegu City. The Yan army will soon be at the gates of the city. Eunuch Cao, show them the information about the Yan army!"

"Old slave obeys!"

Cao Chun immediately stepped forward, collected all the information on the imperial desk, and then distributed it to the six people.

After the six people passed the letter to each other, their faces became increasingly ugly.

"What do you think? Tell us!"

As soon as Murong Zhengming finished speaking, Taiwei Chen Shiheng immediately stepped forward and saluted, "Your Majesty, I would like to know if our Military Equipment Bureau has developed a bomb? If there is a bomb, I have the confidence to defend Hegu City."

Speaking of the Arms Inspectorate and bombs, Murong Zhengming became even angrier. He picked up the teacup on the imperial desk and slammed it to the ground. "Bang!"

"The idiots in the Arms Administration have been researching for such a long time, but they still can't even develop the most basic gunpowder. So many people are not as good as Lin Feng. They are all useless."

The consequences of the emperor's anger were very serious. The six people bowed in unison, "Father, please calm down! Your Majesty, please calm down!"

Murong Zhengming calmed down a little and said slowly, "Chen Aiqing, don't think about the bomb. Tell me! What should we do next?"

The emperor's departure from the capital is a huge deal. Although Murong Zhengming has decided to leave, he does not want to take the responsibility of losing the capital, so he hopes that the ministers will first propose the suggestion of leaving the capital, and then he will reluctantly agree to this suggestion.

To put it bluntly, Murong Zhengming wanted to be a whore and also wanted to be a saint, but he never expected that it was because of his little trick that he missed the best opportunity to evacuate and was finally blocked by Yan's army in Hegu City.

It’s fate and time. Maybe this is God’s will!

Chen Shiheng cupped his hands again and said, "Your Majesty, I will obey you. As long as you are willing to stay in Kyoto, I will defend Kyoto to the death. If you want to leave Kyoto, I will follow Your Majesty to the death."

Chen Shiheng is not stupid. He will not take the initiative to suggest Murong Zhengming to leave Beijing, because once he does so, if the Kingdom of Yue can continue to exist in the future, the person who suggests His Majesty to leave Beijing will surely become a public enemy. In order to consolidate the rule of the dynasty, His Majesty will inevitably choose to sacrifice the person who made the suggestion, so he will never do such a thankless thing.

Chen Shiheng did not respond, so Murong Zhengming turned his gaze to the Minister of the Central Secretariat Gao Yanqing, "Lord Gao, do you have anything to say?"

Gao Yanqing hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Your Majesty, the Yan army is indeed very powerful, but our Hegu City also has 200,000 troops and 600,000 civilians. As long as Your Majesty chooses to defend Kyoto, I am willing to share life and death with Your Majesty."

"I second the proposal!"

As soon as Gao Yanqing finished speaking, Grand Marshal Wan Tiankui immediately stepped forward and bowed.

Gao Yanqing and Wan Tiankui did not accept the challenge. Murong Zhengming could not help but curse in his heart - three old foxes.

"You three are so loyal, and I am very pleased! My three sons, do you have anything to say?"

The Crown Prince, Prince Jin, and Prince Rui all stepped forward and saluted, "Your Highness, I swear to follow you till death."

Murong Zhengming was immediately depressed when his three sons refused to accept the challenge. However, the situation was urgent and rather than being blocked by Yan’s army in Hegu City and eventually being killed by a bomb or captured by Yan’s army, it was undoubtedly the best option to lead the army to withdraw from Hegu City.

If you want to do it, do it. Murong Zhengming immediately said, "I have thought about it. The bombs and muskets of the Yan army are too powerful. Our army is no match for them. If we continue to stay in Kyoto, we will just sit and wait for death. So I have decided to lead the army to evacuate Hegu City. What do you think?"

As soon as Murong Zhengming said this, the six people all bowed their hands and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"

Murong Zhengming nodded and stood up from the dragon throne. "Eunuch Cao, please convey my order and order Captain Mo Wuji to load the national treasury onto the truck immediately. Then take the concubines who have given birth to heirs with you. We will set off in half an hour and leave from the South Gate overnight."

"Old slave obeys!"

Cao Chun cupped his hands, turned around and left the imperial study room quickly...

"Crown Prince, I will leave the matter of notifying all the civil and military officials of the court to evacuate to your palace. I hope you will not let me down."

Murong Haotian quickly cupped his hands, "I obey your order! I promise to complete the task!"

Murong Zhengming nodded and said, "My dear ministers, please prepare to go! Hurry up and don't miss the time."

"Your Majesty, please leave!"

The six of them all bowed and left the imperial study together...
