Chapter 4426: A sudden inspiration leads to disaster
Sima Dewen's face turned green and white, and everyone's eyes turned to him. Even Gu Cheng looked at him with doubts in his eyes. These royal guards had only followed orders before, but they didn't expect
, it would be such a result, and I don’t even know how I fainted.
Sima Dewen gritted his teeth and said: "As I said just now, Your Majesty wanted to come to the Ancestral Temple to pray to our ancestors and pray for blessings, so Gu was escorted by security guards. As for why the monster Doupeng appeared here, Gu Zhen
I didn't know. Gu only knew that this person had demonic powers. He first confused Commander Gu and the guards here, and then he showed up in front of the emperor brother and Gu. Moreover, he was actually Xie Xuan!
"
As soon as these words came out, the whole palace was in an uproar. Even Ding Wu was so shocked that he said in unison with Gu Cheng: "What, the cloak is actually Xie Xuan? How is this possible?!"
Liu Yu nodded: "King Langya is right, this Xie Xuan is Doupeng. I didn't expect that Commander Xuan who led me to join Beifu back then. I didn't expect that the great hero who made immortal contributions and saved the Jin Dynasty would actually degenerate into
The big devil of the Tiandao Alliance, when I first learned about his identity, I was as surprised as everyone present."
Sima Dewen rolled his eyes and suddenly lost his voice: "Ah, that's it. Princess Jinling married into the Xie family and is Xie Hun's wife, and Xie Xuan is Xie Hun's uncle. Yes, that's it.
, Xie Xuan must have used some enchantment to confuse Princess Jinling and asked her to bring a token to ask us brothers to come to the Ancestral Temple to pray for blessings."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "King Langya, but you clearly said just now that His Majesty wanted to come to the Ancestral Temple to pray for blessings. How come you now mean Princess Jinling?"
Sima Dewen swallowed his saliva and forced out a smile: "It was because I was so excited just now that I didn't explain the cause and effect clearly. This Princess Jinling carries a token to enter and leave the palace, and she comes to talk to our brothers every few days.
Please say hello. By the way, let me tell you about the situation in the palace city and the battle situation outside. Marshal Liu, since we defended the city, the emperor brother and I have been under strict guard, er, should be said to be under strict protection. We didn’t even take a step outside the palace gate.
We know nothing about this world. If we hadn’t seen Princess Jinling every three days, I’m afraid we would have gone crazy with loneliness.”
Liu Yu nodded: "In an emergency, this is a last resort. Please forgive me, Your Majesty and Your Majesty. After all, there are demons from the Tiandao Alliance lurking in the city, as well as accomplices of demon thieves. I also have to direct the battle outside, so I have to
Let Your Majesty and Your Majesty suffer some injustice, as long as Jiankang City is restored to peace, Your Majesty will definitely be able to live his old life again."
Sima Dewen smiled and waved his hand: "Liu Marshal, I know you are doing this for the sake of the emperor and Gu, so you don't care about these things. However, this time, as soon as Princess Jinling came to our place, intelligence came from outside.
, it is said that the demon thieves suddenly attacked and attacked the city in a large scale. The vanguard has already reached Nantang. Marshal Liu, the emperor and his brother were in great chaos at that time. Your so-called unbreakable defense line actually allowed the demon thieves to attack here all at once. Could you please change the situation?
What would you think if you were alone?"
Liu Yu said calmly: "In Nantang, I have already made arrangements. The demon thieves are just traitors who have passed through the Tiandao Alliance. They have insiders in the city and took a secret way to appear in Nantang by chance. They are not really the ones who killed them."
If you go to Nancheng, it is even less likely to threaten His Majesty's safety."
Sima Dewen sneered and said: "You can say that now, but where were you at that time? We two brothers were isolated and helpless, with only one Princess Jinling who was equally panicked. At this time, the princess suddenly said, if the army of Jinling
Our ancestors bless us, maybe we can survive this time. Then I suddenly thought about Sima Daozi praying for blessings and defeating thieves in the Ancestral Temple. At this time, we can only treat the dead horse as a living horse. At least, when we arrived at the Ancestral Temple,
If we really fail to pray and the demon thieves break into the city, we also have the opportunity to evacuate Jiankang and retreat to Wu, so we won't fall into the hands of the demon thieves like this."
Liu Yu immediately followed and said: "Retreating to Wu and leaving Jiankang, was this the idea of Princess Jinling, or was it your own idea, King Langya?"
Sima Dewen said without thinking: "It was brought up by Princess Jinling. She said that her husband Xie Hun is now recruiting troops and horses in Kuaiji County, raising food and wages, and constantly supporting Jiankang. He is a loyal minister. If Jiankang City cannot be defended,
Come on, Xie Hun will continue to be loyal to the Jin Dynasty and fight the demon thieves to the end. He went to the Ancestral Temple and can act according to the situation."
Liu Yu nodded: "I will find out about this later."
Sima Dewen's expression changed, and he said sharply: "Liu Yu, you are so brave, don't you even believe what I say? Are you questioning me, Princess Jinling, or Your Majesty?"
"
Liu Yu said one word at a time: "Since I have been entrusted by your Majesty to take charge of everything inside and outside Jiankang City during this war, and to supervise all domestic and foreign military forces, I must be responsible for the entire city's soldiers and civilians, and for the entire Jin people."
Let me tell you that Your Majesty is the Lord of Ten Thousand Generations and the symbol of the Jin Dynasty. He must not be touched lightly. Just like the commander's flag must be seen by everyone during the war, he will leave the palace without saying goodbye, or even leave the palace with a token.
How do you think this move should be characterized, Your Majesty?"
Sima Dewen gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "What, Liu Yu, do you want to say to Your Majesty that this king escaped from the battlefield? Do you want to engage in military law against us?"
Liu Yu shook his head: "I don't dare. I just need to explain to the people of the world. If things are really as the king said, then the people of the world will make their own decisions. Now I just want to understand one thing, then
Why did the cloak lure His Majesty and the King here?"
Sima Dewen laughed: "Liu Yu, you are brave enough to treat His Majesty and me like this. Okay, great, I will always find a chance to settle this debt with you. However, I want to keep it in mind now.
The city is in serious trouble, and I am afraid that I will miss it, so I will tell you that Duopeng tricked us into coming here because he wants us to issue an edict to pardon the demon thief and accuse you Liu Yu of being a rebel and traitor, so that the whole world can punish you!"
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "So, your Majesty and the King firmly refused, so Doupeng became angry and wanted to kill you?"
Sima Dewen gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Doupeng said that this was the intention of the Xie family, and even said that it was Mrs.
, I saw a cloak in this Ancestral Temple. This cloak means that the world was originally shared by our Sima royal family, and the aristocratic families headed by the Xie family and the Wang family. It was because of you, Liu Yu, that you relied on a bunch of soldiers and eight army sticks to make your fortune and usurp the great power.
The power of the Jin Dynasty, through countering the rebellion or the Northern Expedition, sooner or later became disobedient, so he wanted to make a deal with Your Majesty, pardon the monsters and thieves, and combine with the power of the aristocratic family to eliminate you and return the world to its previous state."
