"I won't..."

When Jia Moqiao heard Jia Yan's teasing, he immediately couldn't laugh or cry.

At her age, the elders would indeed be worried. On earth, she would be at the level of an aunt.

But for a strong person, she is not yet a hundred years old and is as young as a newborn baby. Why would she want to talk about marriage at this time?

However, she was looking forward to the military meeting, probably because Jia Yan had tacitly agreed that she would not follow the path of martial arts, so he had been encouraging her to get involved in related matters recently, which happened to transform the large amount of knowledge in her mind into practical abilities, which was also the subtle influence of Jia Moqiao.

There is no longer any reason to hold a book all day long.

Jia Yan actually wanted to rely on this method to gradually change his daughter. Instead of just having books in her mind all day long, it was also important to appreciate the prosperity and vicissitudes of the world.

I pity the hearts of parents in the world.

"Report, there is an envoy from the imperial court coming to ask for help."

While father and daughter were chatting, another expert from the outside entered Bingbao.

"Here he comes again? He's come here three times this month. He says he's asking for help, but it actually seems like he's begging for his life."

Jia Moqiao clicked his tongue in surprise.

When the Galaxy Chamber of Commerce stopped sending troops to the three-party coalition without authorization a few years ago, the imperial court was initially angry and issued statements repeatedly condemning the Galaxy Chamber of Commerce for this unkind act of betraying its allies.

However, the Galaxy Chamber of Commerce sent a large number of instructors and others to assist the Imperial Army.

Although while promoting advanced military concepts, it was inevitable that various ideas of monarchy would be introduced, causing major problems in the royal family's rule. However, it actually helped the dynasty withstand the most violent enemy attacks.

The imperial court's attitude toward the Galaxy Chamber of Commerce has since become quite unclear.

The change began in the first half of this year. Due to the defeat of an important frontline town, it fell into the hands of the enemy. It was tens of billions of miles away from the imperial capital, and there were no natural dangers or strong cities to defend on the way. Now the royal family

The entire dynasty's top brass couldn't sit still.

They retracted their preamble and stated that they would no longer pursue the Galaxy Chamber of Commerce's divisive actions. As long as the Galaxy Chamber of Commerce is willing to send troops to serve the king again, not only will the previously occupied territory be legally recognized, but there will also be a 'Kingdom Book' promulgated by the royal family.

The general idea is to recognize the area where the Galaxy Chamber of Commerce is located as a country of equal dynasty.

Originally, the dynasty believed that this attitude was enough to attract the Galaxy Chamber of Commerce.

After all, throughout the ages, those who cause chaos are all people who want justice.

With great righteousness, the Galaxy Chamber of Commerce will have many conveniences for whatever they want to pursue next.

The dynasty had no other options. Under the absolute crisis, they had already been driven crazy and resorted to seeking treatment when they were sick.

However, an unexpected situation occurred. Facing such good conditions, the Galaxy Chamber of Commerce actually chose to remain silent.

The dynasty was really panicking now.

As the first enemy army appeared at the foot of the capital, although it could not break through the imperial capital, which was known as the most fortified city in the world, it showed off its power before turning its head to other battlefields. The common people and high-level officials inside and outside the capital,

Even within the royal family, there was an extremely panicked mood.

Some people even expressed their opinions, saying that if they lose to the alliance of rebels and invaders, it is better to hand over the dynasty to the Galaxy Chamber of Commerce. Maybe a business power like the Galaxy Chamber of Commerce will retain a certain status and power of all the current high-level officials?

Better than those outsiders destined to slaughter them.

But these voices are still in the minority. The Galaxy Chamber of Commerce is a force dominated by outsiders, which makes people even more uneasy.

Even if you don't follow the more radical voices, you will still do it if you ask for help.

As a result, the high-ranking officials of the dynasty were sent to Xuancheng one after another as if they were envoys who didn't want money.

And not only were they sent, they themselves seemed to have found some way to escape from the front line and asked the new emperor to become their envoys.

The reason is also very simple. At least there are no soldiers in Xuancheng, and there is no need to worry about the enemy attacking the capital in the morning.

Therefore, here in Xuancheng, there were suddenly many dignitaries from the imperial capital, and there were even several cases where the family members of the dignitaries showed off their power and harmed the common people in Xuancheng.

Of course those people were arrested by the Sheriff.

"Come again? Do you still want to see me this time?"

Jia Yan was a little surprised.

In the past, every time he asked to see Jia Yan, Jia Yan would hand over these envoys to the senior officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Over time, the other party also knew the administrative model of Xuancheng. Generally, unless there was a particularly serious situation,

They would not easily ask to see Jia Yan.

Now he has broken the rules again and wants to see Jia Yan.

Jia Yan became interested and took his daughter to meet with my envoy.

The visitor was a very surprising being.

He is a general, and he is not the kind of fat-bellied, uneducated general that is common in the dynasty, but a general who seems to have real talent, practical knowledge, and strong combat effectiveness.

"I have met President Jia Yan, sir. On behalf of the dynasty, I formally submitted a letter of request for assistance and resettlement to your Chamber of Commerce."

"A request for help and a request for resettlement? General, what do these mean?"

Jia Yan asked noncommittally.

"The request for help is still the same, but this time the letter asking for help is from the emperor's own handwriting, with the handprints of civil and military officials on it."

When the general said this, he couldn't help but feel a trace of unwillingness and pain on his expression.

As a military general, he was unable to protect the empire behind him, which made important ministers and even kings shamefully write letters asking for help. This was a sense of denial for their generals.

But there is no way, they are just incompetent and cannot defeat the enemy, so what can they say?

"As for the settlement letter, the royal family wants to hand over some of the younger members of the royal family to the Galaxy Chamber of Commerce. If you agree, the royal family will deliver a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry at once, which will be given to those descendants of the royal family in recent years.

living expenses..."

"oh?"

Jia Yan and Jia Moqiao looked at each other.

There was surprise in each of their expressions.

It seems that the senior officials of the dynasty are not optimistic about the upcoming war?

Even the escape route has been arranged, and throwing the younger members of the royal family to the Galaxy Chamber of Commerce shows that it is possible to fall into a desperate situation.

"I can generally agree with these, but can the general tell me what the situation is like in the imperial capital today?"

The general showed pain in his eyes and said: "Although the enemy army has not yet conquered the capital, it has gradually routed and defeated our surrounding armies. Some of the army is already encircling the capital. A few days ago, King Wu wanted to

We were about to quietly leave the city and go south to enter the former capital, but we encountered enemy sentries who noticed that a total of twenty-eight descendants of the King of Wu fell into the hands of the enemy. The King of Wu was even tied up and came outside the capital to attack our dynasty.

Persuading surrender... That day, it is said that there was a stronger voice of surrender in the court..."

"..."

Jia Yan could imagine how chaotic the current imperial court was.

It seems that there are a large number of masters and the founder exists, but they are still like a late-stage regime, unable to unify their voice, unable to control the overall situation, and even unable to have one person who can handle the current situation.

There are definitely people with real talents and hard work. It can even be said that none of the officials who can enter the court are mediocre.

But the magical place is here. In ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, as long as it is the last years of the dynasty, there are all evildoers. If you pull them out individually, they are all talents. When they are gathered together, they are fighting for power and profit. They follow the example and follow the example. They are corrupt and pervert the law. Even if they are destroyed, this group of talents will be destroyed.

They also have to fight among themselves to the death.

Just like the current dynasty.

"The royal family and relatives have found a way to leave. They will soon enter the Galaxy Chamber of Commerce. I also asked the president to arrange contact personnel. The young general will resign now."

"General, where are you going in such a hurry?"

"As a general of the imperial dynasty, I have to guard the capital gate. The day the imperial capital is destroyed will be the day when I will die. Farewell!"

Jia Yan couldn't help but sigh slightly as he looked at the general who was striding away.

Even if the entire dynasty is useless, there will never be a shortage of similar characters.

Just like in the last years of any dynasty in China, there will always be ministers who die serving the country.

But it is difficult for them to climb to the status of loyal ministers, and they may even be framed by traitors.

"Dad, this general has quite a bit of backbone."

"I have backbone, but backbone can't save the dynasty. Alas, forget it."

Jia Yan and Jia Moqiao chatted, and finally shook their heads.

The dynasty has come to this day, and it is considered deserved, but Jia Yan will not let the capital of the dynasty be destroyed.

If it is broken, it means real chaos in the world.

"Come here, please draw up a strategic plan for me to help the dynasty defend the capital. Remember, the methods can be creative and you don't have to worry about the cost, but the most important thing is to save the lives of our soldiers while also doing everything possible.

to protect the lives and property of people in the capital."

"yes."

The staff immediately left.

Jia Moqiao looked at his father and couldn't help but ask: "Dad, why don't you let them be forced for a while longer? From my point of view, the enemy army has not surrounded the imperial capital too tightly. It is possible for the imperial family to break through the siege."

Even if they all die, it would be fine to recruit another royal family member from the outside world to establish an emperor. It is better than the fact that the capital is still in the hands of the dynasty. If it is protected, they will not feel much benefit.
