The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 767
Facing the hustle and bustle outside the city, all the officials in the city had already panicked and entered the palace one after another to face the saint.But he was stopped by the palace guards, and even the eunuch came forward and announced that the emperor would not be courting today.

Hearing this, all the officials couldn't help but explode. It was the most critical moment, and His Majesty actually hid in the palace and ignored it.Could it be that His Majesty has completely given up resistance?
Feeling panicked, everyone left and returned home one after another. At this time, they were completely disappointed in Tianwei Dynasty, and even the emperor gave up on himself, so what reason do they have to persist?
At this time, Cao Ziyan was sitting alone in the imperial garden drinking wine.Naturally, he also heard the loud cheers outside the city.Knowing his lifelong enemy, Lin Yifan has already returned to the army, and the next step is to fight to the death.

But he also understood that he no longer had any means to deal with Tianhua's offensive.The Tianwei Empire, which was trapped in an isolated city, has reached the brink of extinction.He didn't dare to go out to meet hundreds of officials, he didn't dare to meet tens of thousands of soldiers guarding the city, he was completely desperate.

At this time, a beautiful woman came gently, looking at the pale Cao Ziyan, she couldn't help showing a sad face. "The concubine pays homage to His Majesty."

Cao Ziyan opened his drunken eyes, looked at the beauty, and said with a smile: "So the queen is here, sit down."

The queen sat next to him and looked at him worriedly, "Your Majesty, you are not in good health, it is better to drink less alcohol."

Cao Ziyan grinned, "Hehe, thank you Queen for your concern, but I'm afraid I won't be able to drink good wine again, so I don't want to get drunk at this time, wouldn't it be a pity?"

"Your Majesty, you, why do you say such drunken words?" The queen's eyes turned red when she heard the words, and she choked up.

Cao Ziyan straightened up, reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and looked at him apologetically, "Queen, I have failed you all these years. I never thought that in the end, the person who cared about me the most was you. My mistake Yes, I really regret it."

"Your Majesty, you and I are a husband and wife, so why bother to talk outside." The queen's cheeks flushed slightly, she didn't expect her husband to be so gentle at this moment.

"No, if I don't say something, I won't have a chance to say it." Cao Ziyan held the Queen's hand and sighed slightly, "Queen, the last thing I should do is to kill your father. He is my biggest brother." Loyal minister, if he were here, I would not be where I am today."

The queen's face changed when she heard the words, and tears rolled down her face involuntarily. "Your Majesty, father, he died voluntarily and has nothing to do with Your Majesty."

Cao Ziyan shook his head in pain, "Originally, all of this was my fault. If I hadn't contacted the Dongyang people, Shen Aiqing wouldn't have suffered eternal infamy because of this, and suffered for me."

"Your Majesty." The queen felt a pain in her heart, and she didn't know how to comfort her husband. On one side was her father, and on the other was her husband. She was the one who suffered the most.

"Queen, I can't keep my country." Cao Ziyan sighed softly, "You and the princes, stay in the harem and don't move around. I will send a group of guards to protect you until the Tianhua army attacks." When you enter the palace, you can't help but make any resistance. When the time comes, I will write a letter to you in hand, and you will hand it to the Tianhua Army, and let him present it to Lin Yifan. I believe that after he reads it, he will definitely not make it difficult for you. "

"What about Your Majesty?" The queen immediately sensed the meaning of these words, and couldn't help pulling him back in horror.

"Zhen, hehe, I am the king of a country, how can I be humiliated by others?" Cao Ziyan laughed loudly.

"The concubine is willing to accompany you." The queen understood what he said, and immediately said without thinking.

"Nonsense." Cao Ziyan glared at her, and then said softly, "Queen, you must continue to live, no matter how hard it is. It is not for the sake of me, but for the princes. They have lost their father, and they must not lose their father." Mother."

"In that case, why doesn't Your Majesty continue to live for the sake of the children?" The queen finally couldn't bear it anymore and cried.

"Queen, my illness can't last much longer." Cao Ziyan reached out to wipe away the tears on her face, and said with a wry smile, "Don't tell me, don't you allow me to leave with dignity?"

"But, but you left us orphans and widows, how should we survive?" The queen couldn't help crying bitterly.

"You can, I believe in you." Cao Ziyan forced a smile, "Let the children live well, they are still young, let them forget their past identities, be a commoner, and live their lives happily. This, this This is what I expect from them, Empress, you will definitely be able to do it, right?"

"Chenqie, Chenqie promised Your Majesty that the children will grow up in peace." At this time, the queen was sobbing.

"Thank you, empress." Cao Ziyan pulled the empress into his arms, "I am glad to have you by my side in this life."

In the Tianhua army camp, Lin Yifan frowned after carefully observing Haocheng's defenses.At this time, there are tens of thousands of defenders in Hao City. If you add the young and strong people in the city, the force may be no less than 20.If the army chooses to attack hard, I am afraid that there will be a lot of casualties.Now that the Central Plains is almost settled, he really doesn't want to increase casualties at this time.

Therefore, after discussing with everyone, Lin Yifan decided to persuade them to surrender before attacking the city.Now that the general situation of the world is clear, anyone who is not a fool can see that Tianhua's victory in the Central Plains is a certainty.Any more pointless resistance is just asking for death.

Soon, Lin Yifan wrote a letter in hand and ordered someone to send it to the city, and the defenders sent it to Cao Ziyan.

After the defenders got the letter, they immediately sent it to the court.Seeing this, all the officials couldn't help being overjoyed. Emperor Tianhua sent a letter to His Majesty to persuade him to surrender.As long as His Majesty can order the surrender, Hao City will be free from bloodshed.They can also surrender with peace of mind, and there is no danger of being liquidated.

However, after everyone sent the letter into the palace, they waited for a long time, but still saw no movement in the palace.Everyone couldn't help being anxious, and they all asked to enter the palace for an audience.But he was still stopped by the guards, who resolutely refused to let everyone enter the palace.

The officials who didn't get a reply couldn't help secretly feeling resentful in their hearts. They still refused to come forward to face such a monarch at this time. They no longer have any respect for such a monarch.

As a result, all the officials left one after another, and began to contact Gan Zongwang, the lord of the city, to discuss surrender matters.At this time, Gan Zongwang was also panicked. He had been against the Tianhua army from the very beginning. In the past ten years, he had fought countless wars, and the hatred between them was deep.Therefore, he still has concerns about surrendering.

In order to dispel the worries of Wugan Zongwang and other generals, the civil officials immediately said that they could contact Tianhua first to test their attitudes before deciding on the matter of surrender.Gan Zongwang hesitated for a long time before nodding his head in agreement. At this moment, he no longer had any hope for Tianwei Dynasty.
