Liu Mingzhi’s following words made Nangong Ye’s heart tremble suddenly.
He finally understood what the reason for such fierce drums and horn sounds was. It must have been what Liu Mingzhi had just said to the soldiers and horses on the city wall.
The power of one man is comparable to that of an army of two hundred thousand.
Nangong Ye not only admired the prestige Liu Mingzhi left in the hearts of Dalong soldiers, but also felt flustered because of Liu Mingzhi's words.
The Yi Zi Bing Jian Wang, who had been assassinated in the eyes of the world, suddenly came back to life and raised his troops to Beijing to rebel.
Nangong Ye didn't need to think about it to know what kind of uproar it would cause in the world.
Bingjian Wang Liu Mingzhi is still alive, which means that the truth about the Fengyundu assassination will soon be revealed to the world.
If His Majesty was really instigating this matter behind the scenes, Nangong Ye no longer dared to think carefully about the consequences that would follow the truth revealed by his sidekick Wang Liu Mingzhi.
"You...you want to rebel?"
Nangong Ye didn't want to believe what he heard, so he asked again with vague hope.
How he wished that he was old, dim-sighted, and deaf and had heard that sentence wrongly.
"Uncle, you heard me right. I came to Beijing this time just to rebel."
Hearing these words from Liu Mingzhi again, not only Nangong Ye, but also the generals of the Forbidden Army who were familiar with Young Master Liu trembled violently.
King Liu Mingzhi, who had been loyal to the imperial court in the past, actually wanted to rebel.
To create a rebellion against the current emperor Li Ye, who he personally supported to the throne.
Could it be that His Majesty was behind the Fengyundu attack and murder? Otherwise, King Bingbian, who had great power and many troops at the time, had never had any intention of disobedience, so why did he suddenly rebel now?
For a moment, everyone was confused.
Although there was no trace of the more than 200,000 frontier cavalry under King Pingjian, King Pingjian arrived at the city gate.
Will his 200,000 troops still be far behind?
No one would doubt that King Bingjian was so defiant that he dared to go to Beijing alone and threaten to rebel. That was not rebellion, that was seeking death.
Nangong Ye held the city bricks tightly with both hands, and his knuckles turned white from the strength.
"My lord, think again. You have devoted your whole life to the prosperity of this world, and you have half of your hard work. If you rebel, the whole world is destined to be in chaos.
The prosperous rivers and mountains will cease to exist due to your actions."
"Think twice?
My uncle also said that Dalong's current prosperous age was established by this king who devoted his whole life to assisting three generations of emperors.
However, Liu Mingzhi was loyal to the court.
Relief from disasters, quell chaos and stabilize the country, and conquer the Western Regions to expand territory.
He sent envoys to the Western countries to show his power overseas, and made three conquests during the Jin Dynasty to unify the country.
For the sake of Dalong, for the imperial court, and for the final entrustment of my father and the late emperor, I will do my best to assist Your Majesty, working hard and without complaint.
I have never cared about the heartless actions His Majesty has done, and I still try my best to help Dalong unify the world.
Fourteen years.
Liu Mingzhi has been in the temple for 14 years, and I can say it with conscience. I will do everything within my power, and I will do everything within my power.
During these fourteen years, I have neglected my wives and concubines for the sake of the country, and neglected my children for the sake of the people.
I wholeheartedly focus on Dalong Sheji, just to unify the world for Dalong, to comfort my father's spirit in heaven, and to comfort the late emperor's entrustment on his deathbed.
It has been six years since his father's death. Liu Mingzhi never dares to forget his father's last words on the observation deck of the palace. He always asks himself and reminds himself.
Six years have passed.
The words my father said are still vivid in my mind, as if they were yesterday.
In the past six years, my handling of housework has not been as good as government affairs.
Liu Mingzhi can say with a clear conscience in front of all of you that I have devoted myself to the imperial court with utmost benevolence and righteousness.
But what did I get?
Everyone, I, Liu Mingzhi, have worked hard for the country and the people for half my life. What did I get in the end?
After receiving the weight of crime, he was brutally assassinated on the way to Beijing.
Tell me, why did Liu Mingzhi commit such a crime?"
Listening to Liu Mingzhi's hoarse voice and looking at his gloomy eyes, everyone on the city wall fell silent.
Liu Mingzhi's words just now lingered in their minds, and everyone's hearts suddenly became filled with mixed feelings.
Although King Bingjian did not point out directly that the assassination he suffered at Fengyundu on the way to Beijing was caused by someone sent by His Majesty, he had indirectly explained something.
It turned out that His Majesty actually sent someone to assassinate King Bingjian, a distinguished veteran of the three dynasties.
As a result, it was understandable that the always loyal King Bianjian rushed to the capital and openly rebelled.
But no matter how excusable it is, after all... alas...
"Uncle, brothers, you don't need to persuade me to think twice before I act.
This is what I came to after thinking twice.
Liu Mingzhi had planned this reaction.
However, Liu Mingzhi did not want his weapon to be stained with the blood of his former brothers.
Now Liu Mingzhi gives you two choices.
Either open the city gates honestly and let me enter the city. In that case, the capital will save unnecessary bloodshed and sacrifices.
Either I lead a heavy army in a bloody battle and enter the capital. In that case, it is not up to me to decide whether the capital will be filled with blood or be littered with corpses.
The choice is yours, and I would like to advise you with the words you just said.
Think before you act.
Give up or fight!"
Liu Mingzhi's cold words made the generals on the city wall feel cold all over their bodies, and beads of sweat broke out on their foreheads.
Even Nangong Ye, a veteran of the frontier army, couldn't help but tense up.
At this moment, everyone knew that there was no room for negotiation.
The rebellion of King Bingjian has become a foregone conclusion, and any further words will be the result of futile efforts.
Give in or fight!
Many generals of the Imperial Guard in the capital looked at Nangong Ye, who was standing at the top.
"King...my child, is there really no room for relaxation at all?
My uncle asked Your Majesty to issue an imperial edict to apologize to you in front of all the people in the world, okay?
You can’t go against it!
If we rebel, the world will be in chaos."
As soon as Nangong Ye finished speaking, Liu Mingzhi had not yet spoken.
The earth gradually trembled.
The trembling became clearer and clearer, and finally turned into vibration, followed by the sound of horse hooves, and the smoke and dust rising above the official road could already be seen from the city wall.
The soldiers on the city wall looked towards the official road in the north of the city.
The endless banners seemed to cover the sky, and tens of thousands of cavalry galloped towards the city.
The army of the Six Guards of the New Army really rushed to the capital.
Then, the sound of horse hooves also came from three locations in the southeast and west of the capital. The sound was so loud that it seemed that the entire capital was shaking.
In the horrified eyes of Nangong Ye and the others, the sound of intensive war drums and war horns rang out from the three city walls on the east, west, and south.
It is no longer a warning drum, but the sound of drums and bugles as the enemy troops approach the city and order the soldiers of the three armies to prepare for battle.
Looking at the cavalry that had finally entered the city, Nangong Ye and the others' hearts were in their throats.
There is really no room for relaxation.
Smoke and dust billowed, covering the sky and the sun.
More than 50,000 cavalry split into two and turned into two torrents, rushing towards the wilderness to the left and right of the city gate, and their speed gradually slowed down.
After a long circuit, they slowly gathered under the city gate and finally stopped a hundred steps away from Liu Mingzhi. They uniformly turned over and dismounted from their horses and knelt down to salute Liu Mingzhi's back.
"See the Marshal!"
"See the Marshal!"
"See the Marshal."
Then echoing voices sounded from outside the other three city walls.
See the words "Commander" echoed inside and outside the city amidst the shouts of 240,000 soldiers.
Liu Mingzhi raised the Heavenly Sword and raised it lightly, and the noise behind him suddenly stopped.
Only the whistling of flags and the sneezing of war horses continued one after another. Tens of thousands of cavalry stood up and held the reins of their horses like javelins. They stopped beside the horses and silently stared at Liu Mingzhi standing outside the moat under the city gate.
The movement at the other three city gates also fell silent in just a few breaths.
The army is strictly governed and all orders and prohibitions are enforced.
Only at this moment did the elite soldiers of the Forbidden Army on the city wall understand what it meant to be a truly elite frontier army who had experienced hundreds of battles.
What does it mean to be brave and strong, like a tiger swallowing thousands of miles?
A true master of tiger and wolf!
Liu Mingzhi glanced at the afterimage in the west, then took the Heavenly Sword and led the horse towards the army behind.
"Tomorrow I will see Bai send out a message in the east, and the sun will rise with an army of three poles to attack the city.
You still have one night to think about it.
Either open the city gate, or I, the king, enter the city in blood.
Life and death are only between your thoughts!"
PS: There are many customers, and I drink all kinds of meat and vegetables every day. I don’t know my last name. Let’s eat for a few days and save my manuscript.
In addition, after consulting, Liu Zhi'an took the initiative to seek death, which established his son's determination to rebel.
Is it acceptable to die to open a frontier for my son?
