Wu Nian, who had put on clean clothes, stood at the gate of the camp. Next to him was Yuki Kyogoku.

Kyogoku Yuki's bright eyes looked at the city of Kyoto in front of her. She couldn't hide her joy. Although she was still far away from Fuso's destruction of the country.

The real power was in the hands of General Toyotomi, and a huge samurai group occupied Fuso's territory.

But he was able to invade Kyoto and capture the emperor alive.

She was also very happy.

"Let you Fuso people have a taste of the hatred of the country's subjugation." Kyogoku's snow-white and delicate little hands were tightly grasped together.

"Does the king really want to treat the emperor with courtesy?" After a long time, Kyogoku Xueli calmed down, raised his head and his eyes fell on Wu Nian's face.

He could hear the regret of the subjugated princess, but Wu Nian still said: "There is still strength in the city. If we attack by force, the Han soldiers will definitely suffer losses. Although I am ruthless and violent, I will not regard human life as trivial."

"If the emperor is willing to leave the city and surrender, I will give him a way to survive."

Kyogoku Yuki is very sorry.

...........

In the city.

In the office hall of the office.

Okubo Tadamitsu's face turned pale, and a large amount of sweat fell down, soaking his clothes. In front of him was the reporting warrior kneeling on the ground, not daring to raise his head.

Did even Honda Hidenobu die in battle?

Third in the world.

That's third in the world.

He was born in the troubled times of the Warring States Period with constant wars. He has a great reputation of five hundred thousand koku. He is far from being comparable to me, Toyotomi's Sixteen Divine Generals.

Now even Hidenobu Honda has died in the battle.

Not to mention yourself?

Okubo Tadamitsu lost all hope and fell into deep despair.

Surrender? Or not.

It was a multiple-choice question for the emperor. If possible, Okubo Tadamitsu hoped that the emperor could die like a samurai.

But that's impossible.

And for a samurai, for a noble samurai.

There is no word surrender in his dictionary.

"Go prepare for the ceremony. I want to commit seppuku." Okubo Tadamitsu raised his head and said to the samurai who reported the news.

You have to hurry up, the Han army will enter the city soon.

"Yes." The warrior who reported the news was stunned for a moment, then showed a decisive look and shouted yes.

As a samurai, committing seppuku is an honor.

Palace, corridor in front of the study.

Emperor Meisho was still looking at the sky blankly, as if he was wandering in the sky.

"Da da da!!!" Suddenly, the sound of rapid footsteps sounded. Emperor Meisheng looked blankly towards the direction of the sound, and then his pupils shrank.

The ministers seemed to be fleeing for safety, and they rushed towards him in disheveled clothes and embarrassment.

"Your Majesty, Honda Hidenobu died in battle. Okubo Tadamitsu committed seppuku. Kyoto can no longer be saved." The ministers knelt on the ground. Some were crying, some were frightened, and some even fainted.

"Ah!!!!" Emperor Mingzheng's eyes darkened, he let out a scream, and then fainted. Seeing this, the ministers became even more panicked. They rushed forward in a hurry, pinched the person, touched his chest to help him breathe, and successfully rescued him.

Rescued the emperor.

"What should we do now?" Emperor Meisho's eyelids trembled, and then he slowly opened them. After being confused for a long time, he asked.

Opposite to the Wu family.

The ministers around Emperor Fuso are called Gongjia.

Among them, the highest-ranking families are the five regents, Konoe, Kujo, Takashi, Nijo, and Iichi. Members of their families take turns serving as regents.

Regarding this issue, the public's opinions are very unified.

Guard Zhongxiang said quickly: "Your Majesty, the Han army has threatened that if your Majesty does not surrender, the city will be massacred. For the sake of the people of Kyoto, please open the city."

"Yes. Your Majesty, please open the city for the sake of the people in the city."

"Your Majesty, the Han army promised to treat Your Majesty with courtesy. The promise of the King of Han still works. The King of Goguryeo is still alive and well."

The ministers all tried to persuade Emperor Meisho to surrender.

Opening your mouth and shutting up are all for the common people, for the common people. In fact, it is for themselves. As a minister of the imperial court, even if you become a commoner.

They are no longer expensive, but they are still rich.

It is better to die than live.

The public family is the public family. Fighting and committing seppuku are all the affairs of the Wu family.

Although Emperor Meisho was weak, he was not stupid and he knew the inside story.

The reason why the King of Goguryeo was able to survive was because his mother was the most beautiful woman in Goguryeo, Queen Mother Lee.

The Empress Dowager Li became the favored concubine of the King of Han, and the King of Goguryeo was saved and expected to die a good death.

He does not have the most beautiful mother in the world.

Emperor Meisho was very resistant to surrender. However, the situation forced him to make this difficult choice.

Surrender does not necessarily mean death.

If you don't surrender, you will definitely die when the Han army attacks the city.

Emperor Meisho slumped in the arms of his ministers, his face was pale, his eyes were filled with stars, and he said weakly: "Go and get the emperor's seal, the Kusanagi sword, the eight-foot mirror, and the magatama."

"For my sake. No. I will bring you plain clothes. You all will come out with me."

After saying this, Emperor Meisho suddenly felt ashamed, his face flushed, and he fainted again.

"Your Majesty." The ministers were panicked again. You can't die. If you want to die, you have to wait until you surrender.

If the King of Han outside the city misunderstands, you would rather die than surrender.

Then aren’t we doomed?

The ministers once again hurriedly rescued Emperor Meisho. Then they ordered the maids to fetch plain clothes for the emperor.

Other ministers hurriedly went to collect the emperor's seal, Kusanagi sword, eight-foot mirror, magatama and other treasures passed down from generation to generation by the imperial family.

In the midst of the emergency and panic, the ministers showed extraordinary administrative efficiency and prepared everything beautifully.

Finally, they surrounded Emperor Meisho and surrendered to Kaicheng.

At the gate of the Han military camp.

Wu Nian and Kyogoku Yuki watched as the gates of Kyoto opened, and the Emperor and others came out and surrendered with cheers.

Kyogoku Yuki's bright eyes showed disappointment. She really wanted to hack the emperor to death.

Wu Nian took a breath and showed a smile on his face.

In this way, the casualties of Han soldiers were reduced.

"Let Wang Gui and Lu Liuliang's troops enter the city. The other two troops will stay and camp outside the city." Wu Nian gave the order, and then looked up at the banners of the Imperial family on the city gate tower.

chrysanthemum pattern.

He felt it was very annoying, so he said: "Take off that flag and put up the Han banner."

"Yes." An Ouchi guard responded and immediately went down to deliver the order.

On the city wall, some samurai and ronin chose to kneel on the ground and commit seppuku to be loyal to the emperor and their own name. Most of the defenders were disarmed by the Han army and were temporarily detained.

A Han soldier happily took a brand-new Han banner, climbed up the city gate tower on a ladder, took down the Emperor's chrysanthemum flag, and threw it away.

Then he carefully hung up the Han banner.

The flag with the character "Han" is flying in the wind.

Majestic.
