Chapter 1395
Chapter 1395
"I only ask that the Ming navy and the Northern Liang army withdraw from the far north."
'boom.'
When yet another piercing report echoed from afar, reverberating throughout the streets and even the capital city...
The crowds lining the streets to welcome the emperor were in a frenzy.
"Ok?"
Even Zhu Youwei, standing on the imperial carriage, was pleasantly surprised and said, "Didn't I entrust the Northern War entirely to the Duke of Xu?"
"Why did the Tartar envoys go directly to the capital?"
"What is Duke Xu's attitude?"
After Zhu Youwei finished speaking, the scout who had come here quickly replied: "Your Majesty, the Duke of Xu said: Our Ming soldiers will not give up an inch of the territory they have conquered."
"Surrender or be exterminated!"
"it is good……"
The scout had just relayed these words.
The entire scene erupted in deafening roars.
"Duke Xu, well said."
"Lord Xu, you are mighty!"
"Duke Xu, so domineering."
"You've been harassing the Ming Dynasty's borders for so many years. Now that you can't win, you want us to withdraw?"
"Why?"
"Exactly. Before, there was this bullshit about the Heavenly Beings helping us, and they even joined forces with the barbarians to invade our Great Ming with their army."
"Are you now seeking peace?"
"No way!"
"So what if they're celestial beings?"
"As Lord Xu once said, my fate is in my own hands, not in the hands of Heaven."
"Correct!"
At this moment, under the deliberate guidance of the Embroidered Uniform Guard's "naval forces," the common people no longer blindly believed in the "mandate of heaven."
This is exactly the result that Xu Shan secretly planned all of this for.
Seeing the crowd's excited emotions, Zhu Youwei, standing on the imperial carriage, smiled brightly.
"Warn the Tartar envoy!"
"The attitude of Duke Xu is the attitude of me, and even more so the attitude of the millions of people of the Ming Dynasty."
Upon hearing this, the people on Xuanwu Avenue knelt down in reverence.
They shouted, "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"
"Everyone stand up."
Just as Zhu Youwei had passionately stirred up the emotions of the people...
Another rapid hoofbeat came from afar, growing louder as it approached.
"Report!"
"Your Majesty."
"The Daoist Master Tianyi, along with all his disciples, humbly request to accompany the King in the [Heavenly Revelation Sacrifice]."
"Report."
"Master Zhang of the Wudang Sect, along with his disciples, humbly request to accompany the King in the [Heavenly Revelation Sacrifice]."
"Report!"
"Representatives of the four surnames and fourteen tribes of the Miao territory respectfully request to accompany the King and participate in the [Heavenly Revelation Sacrifice]."
"Report..."
When the so-called supreme powerhouses and grandmasters of the mortal realm all gathered in the capital.
I wish to accompany the king during the sacrificial ceremony.
All the previous rumors have been debunked.
The great masters of the Ming Dynasty had long harbored resentment towards the Empress and the court.
This provoked the wrath of heaven and the resentment of the people.
But now?
All the remaining supreme experts of the Ming Dynasty have come to the capital to express their views.
Isn't this the best proof?
At that moment, the spirited Zhu Youwei immediately said, "Granted!"
"Masters, come with me to the imperial mausoleum."
Their arrival was not merely to publicly take sides and support Zhu Youwei. More importantly, it was also a way of expressing their stance to the Heavenly Realm and the powerful clans and aristocratic families who relied on the Heavenly Official.
Even today, if the imperial star truly falls and the dragon vein is replaced, it's still a possibility.
Then the entire martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty will fight to the death with you five surnames and seven clans.
The cultivators of the mortal realm will continue to 'compete with the heavens'.
The situation has escalated to this point...
This was also unexpected by Lin Ruohe and other representatives of the aristocratic families.
"Xu Shan and his Imperial Guards have so cruelly harmed martial arts sects."
"Why would they all come out one by one to take sides and support the Ming Dynasty?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Ruohe said with a cold expression, "That's because they haven't witnessed the true strength of the [Heavenly Officials]."
"An attempt to fight a losing battle with an egg..."
"You don't know what you can do!"
After saying that, Lin Ruohe added, "Proceed according to the original plan."
"If it's truly impossible to enter the capital without bloodshed..."
"After the Empress and Yuan Tiangang perished, they had the celestial beings lend a hand and lead their troops to break in."
"Faced with absolute power, what nonsense are reputation, control, and influence...?"
"That's all bullshit."
"This time, those who obey me will prosper, and those who oppose me will perish!"
"Yes!"
Just as Lin Ruohe finished issuing the order, Zhu Youwei and the others had already left the city in a grand procession.
At this moment, the already noisy capital city was plunged into chaos.
"Were you the one questioning His Majesty and Duke Xu just now?"
"Are you spouting nonsense, claiming that everything is done by Duke Xu, that you're running a one-man show, and that you're deceiving us?"
"How do we explain this now?"
"I think you guys have ulterior motives."
"I just can't stand seeing the Ming Dynasty continue to prosper."
"I even suspect that they are spies from the Tartars and barbarians."
"Hit him!"
"Do it."
'Crackle!'
'Bang.'
"Ow."
Guided by the Jinyiwei's naval forces and spies, all the aristocratic spies who dared to show themselves were severely wounded by the elite troops.
Being pinned to the ground and beaten by a group of people is one thing.
The guards from the patrol battalion who stayed behind said, "You should restrain yourselves," but in reality, not one of them stepped forward to break up the fight.
Even if there is such a thing, it's still biased!
Let them suffer even more.
After the commotion subsided, the guards of the patrol battalion calmly said, "Quickly, gather them and send them to the clinic."
But when they were finally brought to this place, the Imperial Guards, who had been waiting there, had already prepared instruments of torture and blades.
"Lin, Old Master Lin."
"No, that's not good."
"All of our spies in the capital have been targeted."
"In addition, all the city's garrison commanders that we had already 'turned' have also gone missing."
"what?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Ruohe and the others felt their heads buzzing.
They all instantly sensed a hint of danger.
"Report!"
"Old Master Lin."
"The Imperial Guards left in the city, with the cooperation of the patrol battalion, split into several groups and suddenly attacked our stronghold in the capital."
“From inside, came the ear-piercing sounds of hacking and slashing.”
"We didn't dare get close."
'Pah-ta-ta.'
Upon hearing this, Lin Ruohe and the others exchanged bewildered glances, and then, as if drained of all their energy, staggered back several steps.
His face was deathly pale. He remained silent for a moment before finally speaking: "Don't panic, don't panic!"
"As long as the Ming Dynasty can change its course."
"We can turn the tide against all odds."
Just as Lin Ruohe was encouraging himself by saying these words, a sudden sound came from the top of the attic stairs.
