Since Xiao Yao led the army to attack the city very quickly, the news that Yongcheng, Yuancheng and small city were captured came together.

When the emperor learned that the barrier cities in the north were all broken, he was completely confused.

His face was gloomy and terrible, and he looked at the officials in the court: "Who said that all the soldiers were dispatched to Yongcheng and could defend Yongcheng to the death until the thief army ran out of food and grass?" His voice trembled with fear.

I wish every word would be like a knife, stabbing the wastes who were eating dry food below to death.

"You have recommended the waste that is guarding the north, but it has never stopped the traitor's army from the traitor for even two days. They are driving straight in, like a waste, a waste!"

Three whole cities are broken!

Moreover, Xiao Yao's army arrived almost at the same time as the messenger officers and soldiers who went south to bring news of the city break!

In other words, he knew that the three cities in the north were captured and then received news that Xiao Yao had already been outside the capital!

He didn't even have time to make any preparations!

Prime Minister Wang took the list: "Emperor, I requested the order to move the capital to Liangcheng, the southern city, and at the same time mobilized various troops to go north to stop the rebels."

Xiao Yao was afraid that he would attack the city in an instant. There were no soldiers in the capital, so it was impossible for him to resist it for long, so he didn't want to say a word of nonsense, just hoped to move south immediately.

Because he knew that he had offended Xiao Yao forcibly. If he could successfully incite the emperor to move south together, he could also run with him. If he couldn't escape, Xiao Yao would break through the capital and his family would die without a place to bury him.

Shangshu Xu immediately stepped out and agreed.

The former escaped southerly faction stopped talking nonsense and asked the emperor to move the capital to Liangcheng, a southern city.

The situation is urgent, and they don’t care about whitewashing the peace for the sake of face.

Neither the Minister of Rites nor the Duke of Qin spoke.

The one who attacked the Beirong was the one who insisted on not moving south and was willing to die for the country, and the same was true at this moment.

Furthermore, both of them felt that Xiao Yao might not take their lives.

The emperor's eyes turned red: "Move the capital? The traitors' army is just outside the city. Do you still have time to move the capital for you?" He became more and more angry as he stood up and said, gritting his teeth,

"In the past, he was a minister who fled south twice, but now he has been running again for three times. Are you shameless?"

He didn't have to think about it, and he also knew how history would evaluate him as a king in future generations.

The faces of Prime Minister Wang and Shangshu Xu and other officials instantly burned.

They ran away again this time and ran south three times.

It is easy to imagine how ugly the reputation is.

If Xiao Yao and the rebels are eliminated in the future, and the country will still be the country of Daxing Dynasty, then they can also embellish the behavior of fleeing south three times in history books - as literati, this is always easy.

However, if Xiao Yao successfully rebelled and the future history was written by her, then what would these people have evaluated in history? There would be absolutely no whitewashing, and it might even be slandered.

Prime Minister Wang suppressed the enthusiasm on his face and said in a deep voice: "Master, keep the green mountains without worrying about burning firewood. This time we go south and contact the troops from all over the world to fight against Xiao Yao, the chance of victory is very high. Once you win,

Whether it is a matter of two or three or moving the capital due to geographical reasons, it is both debatable."

The emperor had a gloomy face and didn't say anything.

When Beirong attacked the small city and approached the capital, he was willing to die for the city. In the past, he thought that even if he did it again, his determination to survive and die with the capital would remain unchanged. But today, when things come, he suddenly became timid.

Perhaps, because he almost became the king who unified the world, his ambition was raised.

He had been suppressed by powerful ministers before, and he lived a frustration. He dreamed that he wanted to break free from the constraints of the powerful ministers on him, but after working hard for so many years, he could not do anything, so he wished he could break everything. Facing the pressure on the Beirong army, he was willing to

Sacrifice for the country by death.

Xu Shangshu also came out to persuade the emperor. After talking for a long time, he said: "Emperor, the army of rebel Xiao Yao is approaching, and he cannot delay it for a moment. Please make a decision early and move south first to stabilize the country. If you want to do something else, then go slowly.

Pictured.”

All officials came out to agree with this.

The emperor agreed and ordered all officials to go back and prepare to move south in two hours.

Although Shangshu Xu and Prime Minister Wang felt that two hours were too long, they thought that there was no sound at home, and the things were not cleaned up. Two hours were not long, and they didn't say anything at the moment.

When he retired from the court, the emperor left Prime Minister Wang and Shangshu Xu.

Shangshu Xu and Prime Minister Wang were very annoyed, but they both endured it and refused to let it go.

The emperor looked at Shangshu Xu: "I heard that the Fourth Prince Xu has been following the rebel Xiao Yao to rebel."

Xu Shangshu was shocked and hurriedly said, "When the news of the rebellion of the traitor Xiao Yao was heard, I asked Xu Si to take Xiao Yao's head to go south, or steal secrets to go south. After being flatly rejected by him, he opened the family tree.

He was removed from his clan. Therefore, although Xu Si still had a surname, he was not from my Xu clan."

The emperor waved his hand and said warmly: "Your dear, don't panic. I just want to know if I can contact Xu Si. If I contact him, I can make it very clear that he can do things for me." When he said this, Xu Shangshu looked embarrassed.

Then he said, "If you promise to do things for me, I will be seriously injured. It is no problem to be named a marquis."

Prime Minister Wang looked at his nose and his heart, but he didn't speak.

Now is the critical moment, and he has no need to catch Xu Si and mess with Shangshu Xu, but when Xiao Yao fails to rebel, he can mention this matter and kill Shangshu Xu.

Shangshu Xu was actually very moved when he heard the "Father of the Marquis", but when he thought of Xu Si's ruthless letter, he couldn't help but sigh.

It would be useless for him to be moved because Xu Si was unlikely to agree.

Xu Si's aunt, when he was eight years old, was involved in the struggle between the back house, Xu Si's mistress and Xu Si's father knew what was going on, but for various reasons, he refused to repay Xu Si's aunt.

He was innocent and according to the rules of the mansion, he killed the poor woman.

On New Year's Eve, the young Xu Si knelt down and begged him to be fair. As a senior official, how could he care about a concubine? Not to mention that it would harm Xu Si's mother's face and interests, so she directly scolded her at that time.

Xu Si should not call his aunt the mother, but should call his stepmother the mother, so he didn't say much.

Later, he had a lot of things, so he forgot about such trivial matters. When Xu Si became rich, he didn't think much about it. He thought that another promising nephew appeared in the clan, and he had to use his connections to cheer him up.

thought.

It was not until Xiao Yao rebelled that he wrote a letter to Xu Si asking him for everything, but Xu Si refused him sternly that he realized that something was wrong and asked someone to investigate it before he could find out that there was such a thing.

Xu Si clearly holds a grudge against his aunt's death. After he becomes rich, how could he oppose Xiao Yao, who is known for his gratitude for the sake of his hated family?

Seeing that Xu Shangshu looked embarrassed, the emperor said, "Yuan Xu is still by Xiao Yao's side at this moment. If Xu four are willing to do things for me, why should he and Yuan Xu join forces, why worry about not being able to accomplish anything? Furthermore, the world's affairs, if

There is nothing that cannot be achieved if you can afford the price.”

Shangshu Xu was once again moved.

He asked Yuan Xu to cooperate with Xu Si and killed Xiao Yao. Although Xu Si made contributions, he also made contributions.

Thinking of this, Xu Shangshu glanced at Prime Minister Wang standing next to him.

If Xu Si is willing to work hard for the emperor, then even if Xiao Yao’s rebellion fails in the future and the court has time to settle the matter, he will not be attacked by anyone - Xu Si, who would have implicated him, has become a hero, what else can Prime Minister Wang do?

Thinking of this, Xu Shangshu said: "I will go back and give it a try. If it fails, please don't blame the emperor."

The emperor nodded: "This is natural." He paused and said, "Your dear may as well write a letter to Xu Si immediately. After writing, I ordered someone to deliver it to Yuan Xu."

Since Shangshu Xu decided to give it a try, he naturally would not delay it anymore. He nodded and wrote a letter with paper and pen.

In order to make Xu Si agree to do things for the emperor, Xu Shangshu promised in his letter that if Xu Si agrees to do things, he will not only have the throne of marquis granted by the emperor, but also allow his biological mother to be covered with his own mother. He will also contribute to the clan and generals in the genealogy.

Xu Si's biological mother changed to Xu Si's father's first wife, and then buried Xu Si's biological mother in the clan's place.

After Xu Shangshu finished writing, he looked at the ten lines at a glance. He felt that Xu Si would be moved when he saw such generous conditions, so he put down his pen.

Yuan Xu had been prepared for the emperor to send him a secret decree, but he was still surprised to see that there were letters to Xu Si on these secret letters.

He thought for a moment, got up and went to find Xu Si, and gave the secret letter to Xu Si.

Xu Si opened the letter on the spot, finished reading the ten lines at a glance, and immediately sneered.

When Mr. Li and Mr. Tang, who were friends with Xu Si, saw this, they couldn't help asking the reason.

Xu Si did not answer, but looked at Yuan Xu: "This letter must have been sent by Emperor Deqing. What are your plans? If you are loyal to Emperor Deqing, it is better to leave earlier so as not to stay here.

We have a rift with us. If we are loyal to the general, it is better not to receive the letter from Emperor Deqing again."

Mr. Li and Mr. Tang both looked at Yuan Xu.

Yuan Xu was silent for a moment and said, "I will accept my letter. Whether to follow the order or not is up to me."

Mr. Xu sneered: "Who can believe that you have accepted the letter but are in love with us general?"

Yuan Xu took out the letter he received from his arms and pointed to the letter from Mr. Xu: "At least, you can know that they want to conspire when receiving Emperor Deqing's letter."

Xu Si was silent.

Mr. Li and Mr. Tang looked at each other, and Mr. Li said, "So Emperor Deqing gave you a secret order to use evil means to deal with our general?"

Yuan Xu nodded slightly.

Xu Si nodded, with a sarcastic look on his face:

"My good man Xu Shangshu proposed that if I was willing to do business for Emperor Deqing, I could be granted the title of marquis, and my biological mother would be recognized by the clan as my father's original wife and could be buried in the ancestral grave. But he didn't know that, compared with that of the ancestral grave.

If I let my biological mother enter the ancestral grave of the Xu family, I would rather my biological mother stay away from the dirty places like the Xu family."

The second young master Tang reached out and patted his shoulder to show comfort, and then said, "Since Emperor Deqing wants to conspire with us, why not just tell the general about this and make another trick?"

Mr. Li nodded quickly and agreed.

Xu Si nodded when he heard this.
