   Chapter 1077 The person who makes the emperor fear

At this time, Emperor Yuan Zhao's mind was completely focused on firearms, and even reached the point of being a demonic barrier. As the Supreme Being of the Ninety-five Five, he spent at least one or two hours a day in the prisoner, because the prisoner was in prison. Not enough manpower, he also mobilized nearly a thousand craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry, day and night to rush to make Tianlei that will be developed by the supervisor.

Nowadays, it is too late to make the kind of sky thunder that can be used by catapults in the southwest. All the court can do is to make as many sky thunders as possible to supervise the production, the better. , so that even if the city cannot be attacked, it can be guaranteed that the guards of the capital will be impregnable.

After all, when Tianlei was first created, it was brilliant when guarding the city of Hanzhou. Dozens and hundreds of Tianlei were thrown from the city wall, and the enemy would immediately lie down in a large area, boiling oil like gold juice. The effect is much better.

   In order to ensure the safety of the general prisoner, the emperor also transferred all the Qianniu guards among the three guards to the vicinity of the general prisoner to guard the safety of the general prisoner.

Logically speaking, if the capital had a large number of Tianlei, the Southwest Army would not be able to break through the capital in any case with insufficient numbers, but the imperial court only roughly figured out what materials were needed to make gunpowder at the end of last year. , and also added some materials that were not needed originally, which led to the fact that the reserves of gunpowder materials in the capital were not particularly large.

It is true that the Southwest Army is not strong enough to encircle the capital. It can only block the west gate of the capital. The other three sides of the capital, especially the east gate, can still enter and exit. Entering Beijing, whether it is materials for transporting gunpowder or necessities such as food, will definitely be discovered by the Southwest Army. Unless the forbidden army is willing to send troops to guard these horse teams, the materials will definitely not be sent in.

   Moreover, the Tianlei of the imperial court, compared to the Tianlei in the southwest, is less powerful after all, and it is still unknown who can support the two sides to the end.

   Li Shuo's Ningzhou army finally stopped for a day after shelling the capital for three days. On the fourth day, the Ningzhou army rested in place and stopped sending catapults to bombard the city wall.

   At the same time, the old prime minister Gong Yangshu also returned to the capital from Luzhou, and entered the capital through the devastated Xicheng Gate.

   This old man, when passing by the west city wall, glanced at the scarred city wall and sighed slightly.

When Ye Lin went out of the city to see Li Xin, he was still sneaky, but Gongyangshu was an "envoy" sent by the imperial court. When he returned to Beijing, he was immediately taken into the imperial city. The prime minister is all in the side hall of Weiyang Palace, waiting for this hard-working old man.

  After entering the side hall, the old prime minister bowed to the emperor and said, "I have seen your majesty."

Emperor Yuanzhao didn't wear the emperor's clothes at the moment, but just wore an ordinary white robe. He personally walked down the steps, helped Gong Yang Shu up, and took a deep breath: "Old Prime Minister, you and the Southwest Army, talk about How's it going?"

Dajin, which has been strong for decades, was beaten to the capital by the enemy. Hundreds of thousands of Gyeonggi Imperial Guards could not hold on to it. During the three days of indiscriminate bombardment, all kinds of pressure were placed on the head of Emperor Yuan Zhao. He is a young man in his early twenties. Although he tries hard to maintain the image of the emperor with a light cloud and wind, how can he not panic in his heart?

   He wasn't just scared, he was scared to death.

  Because he was facing Li Xin, his own teacher, and the invincible Marquis of Jing'an!

When he was only three or four years old, Li Xin assisted the Emperor Taikang to complete the change of the Imchen Palace. Since then, he, the prince, has grown up listening to Li Xin's story, and he has been in the marquis of Jing'an for so many years. The time in the palace is almost comparable to the time in the East Palace, and Li Xin's image in his heart is extremely high.

   Even after he became emperor, he was still a little afraid of Li Xin.

After the change of Shen Yan, several auxiliary ministers left the court one after another, and Li Xin himself also left the capital and returned to Yongzhou. Emperor Yuan Zhao slowly mastered the core power of the Gyeonggi Imperial Army and the imperial court, conscious of his own strength, has After far surpassing the teacher Li Xin, he slowly let go of some awe.

But now, the Southwest Army's almost invincible attitude has severely shattered the confidence in the young emperor's heart, and even made him a little afraid to face the reality that the Southwest Army soldiers are under the city. Only by putting the firearm of the prisoner can one feel at ease.

   At this time, he wanted so much that Ram Shu could bring back some good news.

Gong Yangshu first looked at the surrounding Zaifu, then looked at the emperor, shook his head slightly: "Your Majesty, Li Houye's conditions are too harsh, not to mention it, the old man means that the court is still actively preparing for war. Well, we can't talk anymore."

  The emperor also looked left and right, and said to the other Zaifu: "The ministers evade for the time being, I will talk to the old prime minister."

   After several Saisukes left, there were only two people left in the side hall, the old man and the young man. The emperor looked at Gong Yangshu, his voice a little hoarse.

   "I... can abdicate."

Emperor Yuan Zhao's thin lips trembled slightly, and his voice was low: "Master Li can't understand this emperor, I can... bring the sixth brother into the capital and give him the seat, he is my brother, we It doesn't matter who takes this position, brother."

   Having said that, the emperor took a deep breath.

"As long as the Southwest Army withdraws, I will immediately abdicate. At the same time, the imperial court will not pursue any responsibility for the Southwest Army. What kind of title did Master Li have in the imperial court, and what title will he be in the future... I can still take the last step and admit that the Southwest established a country. …”

It is already a great disgrace for the great Jin and Tianda to be "trooped under the city" by the rebels. If the rebels force him to abdicate, it will be an even greater shame, but at the moment, Emperor Yuan Zhao has no other way to go. He wasn't sure about dealing with the Southwest Army... Or in other words, Ji Yan was not sure about dealing with his own teacher.

  He… was scared.

Gong Yangshu shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Li Houye insisted that the Southwest Army should be stationed in the capital, otherwise he would not agree to withdraw the troops. The old minister told him that it would be impossible to let the Southwest Army enter the capital. This is equivalent to putting the divine weapon in the hands of others. The court will never compromise."

Having said this, the old man looked up at the emperor and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, what kind of hero was Emperor Wu who fought from the south to the north? Now he is only three or four generations old, how can he lose Emperor Wu's majesty? The old man means, let go The Southwest Army's entry into Beijing is no different from a frontal defeat, so if that's the case, just fight them to the end, at worst, it's just the Southwest Army's entry into Beijing!"

  The emperor turned around and returned to his position. After sitting down, he said a little dejectedly: "Can the Gyeonggi Imperial Army really win the Southwest Army?"

"Li... believe him, since he was seventeen years old, he has never lost a battle or suffered a loss. He has stayed in the capital for more than ten years and has been in charge of the Gyeonggi Imperial Army. He knows better than anyone how strict the defense of the capital is. , but even so, he still brought troops to fight the capital."

   He lowered his head and muttered to himself: "First there was the thunder, then the catapult, and the iron pipe that can hurt people. No one knows how many things he has hidden..."

  “I…”

  The 21-year-old emperor, sitting on his dragon couch, trembled slightly because of fear.

   He now has some regrets in his heart.

  If in the first year of Yuanzhao, Li Xin asked to depose the ministers and asked him to take charge of the government in advance, he completely stood on Li Xin's side, the current situation may not be like this.

   At least not so bad.

   But now, he can no longer handle this situation, and he even thinks of his father who has been dead for more than five years.

  If several other ministers were there, even if he was strong, he would still assume the attitude of the emperor, and would never make such a weak appearance.

   But at the moment, only the old man of Saisuke Mitsuya is there, and the emperor finally showed his weak side.

   After all, he is still a young man in his early twenties, and in later generations, he is still a student.

   Gong Yangshu saw this scene, shook his head slightly, and sighed: "Don't panic, Your Majesty, there is no distinction between superiors and inferiors, and it is far from the point of determining the winner..."
