Chapter 1088 The Queen Mother’s Determination!
Longjing City!
Generals stood in a row, flags fluttered.
"Otherwise, when we enter the city, it will be time to massacre the city!"
As the voice of the general who delivered the order fell.
The people on the wall were silent at first, and then bursts of uproar broke out one after another, and more were fear.
Massacre the city!
The rebels actually wanted to massacre the city!
You know, this is the capital of the Dazong Dynasty. There are millions of people in the city. Once the city is massacred, it will cause the death of millions of people.
The most important thing is that the court officials including the Queen Mother Yun Yi and many ministers were all present.
"Rebels, you rebels, you will not die well!"
"Queen Mother, don't open the city. As ministers, we have already handed over our lives to the country!"
"Yes, we would rather die than surrender!"
Many ministers and soldiers guarding the city shouted hoarsely, with determination in their eyes.
"Why don't we open the city?"
"Yes, that's a massacre. Once we anger them, all of us will die..."
"Queen Mother, we don't want to die..."
And more people begged for mercy in great fear, and some even knelt down in front of Yun Yi, and some rushed down the city wall, as if they wanted to surrender.
During the whole process, Queen Mother Yun Yi supported the little emperor beside her and watched the scene expressionlessly.
When she noticed the ministers crying and shouting, there was only sadness and ridicule in her eyes.
Because most of these people were those who had previously opposed Ye Chen's involvement in the affairs of the Dazong Dynasty.
Thinking of this, she slightly raised her eyes to look at the overwhelming army under the city, her eyes focused on the messenger, and then she opened her red lips: "I can die, but the dignity of the royal family will never fall!!!"
As soon as these words came out, the messenger under the city immediately sneered: "Do you want to drag the whole city to be buried with you?"
The threat in his words was not concealed, but more of it was mixed with a strong murderous intent.
At the same time.
The army outside the city shouted together!
The movement was like thunder!
It made everyone change color.
"Wait..."
Gu Yifu suddenly roared loudly, and then he said to the direction of King Dai: "King Dai, all the princes, I am willing to surrender, I am willing to surrender!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at him in disbelief.
You know!
He, Gu Yifu, is the prime minister of the dynasty!
Before, he had always given everyone the impression of being extremely loyal, and was regarded as a role model by many ministers!
However, in this time of national crisis!
He actually wants to surrender to the enemy?
Yun Yi's delicate body trembled slightly.
A minister cursed: "Gu Yifu, you are shameless, don't forget that you are the prime minister of the dynasty..."
"So what?"
Gu Yifu smiled coldly: "I have paid enough for the country, and now I just want to spend my old age in peace."
At this point, his face was in pain: "Besides, my son Gu You has already died for the country, and he has done a great job for the country!"
"Shameless!"
"The old man is really shameless and hypocritical!"
"..."
Many people pointed at him and cursed.
Gu Yifu looked at Yun Yi and the little emperor, smiled disdainfully, and then jumped directly from the city wall.
Although he was a civil official, he had also practiced. Even if his realm was less than the Grandmaster realm, this small city wall could not stop him at all.
"Hahaha!"
At this time, a wild laugh suddenly came from the army outside the city: "Prime Minister Gu is willing to surrender, and this king welcomes you more than ever!"
Under everyone's gaze, a road was slowly opened in the army, and then several people were seen walking in the air, carrying a sedan chair.
As the sedan chair landed, a middle-aged man wearing a dragon robe and showing a majestic face slowly walked out of it.
"It's the King of Dai, the traitor!"
Someone exclaimed.
Everyone looked at the middle-aged man again, with shock and hatred in their eyes.
It was this man who contacted the other seven princes and led to this civil war in the Dazong Dynasty.
Gu Yifu walked over with great respect, and said with a little flattery: "Thank you, Your Majesty, no, thank you, Your Majesty, this old minister will repay you with his death..."
After that, he stood behind the King of Dai.
The King of Dai looked at the wall again, his eyes focused on Yun Yi: "Queen Mother, now that things have come to this, why don't you surrender? Even if it's not for your own consideration, you should consider the countless people in this city, right?"
However, Yun Yi just glanced at him.
"If you don't accept my toast, you'll have to drink a forfeit!"
The King of Dai's face turned cold, and he said: "I will give you another chance. As long as you are willing to surrender to me in advance, I will not only not kill you, but will also reward you afterwards!"
As his voice fell!
People on the wall jumped down one after another: "Your Majesty, I am willing to surrender!"
"And I..."
"..."
In just a few breaths, more than a dozen civil officials jumped down to the city in front of many people and turned against their enemies on the battlefield.
This scene made everyone extremely angry!
But more people were helpless!
Yun Yi raised her head, and her slender hands slowly grasped the little emperor beside her, and then smiled: "Jing'er, are you afraid of death?"
"Mother... I... I don't want to die..." The little emperor was already in a state of panic, trembling with fear in his eyes.
"I know you don't want to die."
Yun Yi said softly: "But you are the emperor, you are the ruler of a country, you are the only descendant of the previous emperors, and you are the face of the royal family."
"As the saying goes, the emperor guards the country's gates, and the king dies for the country. You have the obligation to live and die with this city..."
Her voice was neither loud nor soft, but it was heard by everyone around her without missing a word.
"Queen Mother..."
Many loyal and upright people were moved, while those who were afraid of death before were extremely ashamed.
The little emperor still shook his head: "No, I don't want to die..."
Yun Yi smiled slightly, gently picked up the little emperor, and then looked around, with a hint of determination in his cold eyes.
"My people, it is my incompetence that has caused the world to suffer such a disaster of war today!"
The next moment!
She was seen holding the little emperor and jumping directly onto the city wall, and then jumped down heavily, facing the ground.
Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked, obviously they didn't expect her to make such a choice.
Even the army outside the city was stunned.
"Queen Mother, no!"
The commander of the imperial guards, Ma Yuanxun, took a step forward, and his body swept, and he grabbed Yun Yi's skirt with one hand in mid-air.
The two people who were falling finally stopped.
"Queen Mother!"
Ma Yuanxun grabbed the person with one hand and the city wall with the other, and groaned: "We still have hope, why are you doing this!"
"Save people, quickly, save people!"
He roared hoarsely!
Many people on the city wall reacted, and strong men took action one after another, pulling the three people up.
"Queen Mother!"
A general knelt down heavily: "Today, I am willing to live and die with this city, and I hope you will not despise yourself!"
