Travel through space and help the prince’s husband in construction

After the letter was delivered to the ship. The Supreme Emperor and the Crown Prince looked at Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan at the same time. These two just analyzed what might happen, and it actually happened.

As Li Mohan mentioned just now, it is very likely that within three days, the defenders in the imperial city will surrender. The reasons analyzed are almost the same as the facts.

Li Mohan said: "The new emperor's arrogant and lewd character must be very unpopular with the people.

The soldiers were also worried about their lives, so they hesitated and did not dare to surrender.

After being besieged, the new emperor will definitely ask the soldiers to live frugally. This way he can continue to live a relatively less frugal life.

The army saved the daily supply of food and delayed the payment of pay. The existing reserves of supplies and silver can not only delay the move for a long time, but also provide most of the imperial city's reserves for him and his concubines.

Once war broke out in the past dynasties, if the war was tense, the emperor would call on ministers to save food and clothing and donate food and salary. The queen will also call on the harem to live frugally and reduce expenses. Both the emperor and the queen will set an example. Donate part of the money or food in your private treasury to the front line.

But the new emperor, the second prince, was an exception. Even if the imperial city has been besieged, what they still consider is whether their own quality of life will decline?

First let the soldiers save, while they themselves do not save. It's just that the food imported from outside cannot be supplied in time, so we can only eat what is stored in the food bank. For example, dried meat, dried seafood, dried vegetables, dried fruits, candied bacon, and salted fish have become the main foods on the table. People in the city don't have vegetable fields in their homes, so they probably have to put out pickles and dried vegetables for a few days.

The imperial dining room in the palace was still very busy, using a small part of the fresh meat and most of the dried vegetables and meat to make dishes that satisfied the emperor and the concubines. They used all their skills to make all kinds of delicacies. Delicious food. Otherwise, if the emperor and the concubines are not satisfied with the food, they will be punished. They may even be fined a monthly fine. Recently, the emperor likes to order fines of silver. The imperial chefs had to be a hundred times more careful.

The situation outside is so tense. There was still singing and dancing in the palace.

The new emperor was very confident in his ability to rule. He thought that local officials would actively send the city's defense soldiers to rescue him.

Because it was clearly written in his edict that if the crisis was over, the masters of the three prefectures who came to rescue him would be promoted to three levels in a row and promoted to a noble rank. Fucheng soldiers who participate in the rescue will be rewarded with a year's salary and an official promotion.

In the new emperor's concept, he believed that there must be a brave man under a heavy reward. Such a generous reward from me will definitely make everyone respond particularly positively. So someone will definitely come to rescue you soon.

Moreover, his edict has stated that the imperial city is almost running out of food. When you come to rescue me, you must bring fresh and delicious food from all over the country, as well as fresh rice to solve the food crisis in the court.

In fact, such an edict is a reminder. There was already overwhelming public dissatisfaction in various prefectures and cities. It's just that the imperial court still has military power and performance appraisal rights. Salaries were also distributed by the imperial court. So I still endure it.

Now, the emperor has become a turtle in a urn, just waiting for others to catch him, but he is still there to dominate.

He didn't know that the people were already suffering from hunger and cold. Businessmen are also in dire straits. Because no one was buying anything, many people used the slogan that the law should not punish the public and called on everyone to rob stores together.

Merchants have some inventory that they can't sell, so they are stuck there. I originally thought that I would wait until things got a little better before resuming operations. However, many shops have been smashed and robbed.

The people had no enough to eat. Where else can there be any fresh and delicious food and fresh grain for the royal court to enjoy?

Therefore, the emperor's edict was not responded to in any state capital.

Everyone seemed to have discussed it. After receiving the edict, everyone pretended to be stupid and did not give any advice to the emperor.

Everyone is speculating that the new emperor will soon be ousted from the throne by the prince and the emperor. So it's the best choice to still be in a state of pretending to be stupid.

If the Supreme Emperor or the Yulong Crown Prince regains the throne in the future, they can say that they did not support the current emperor during the competition between the two sides. Therefore, this was used to show loyalty to the Emperor and the Crown Prince.

If the current emperor, the second prince, regains the upper hand and regains the dominance of the Lanyu Dynasty. Then they can evade the fact that the areas around the imperial city and along the roads are controlled by the people of the Supreme Emperor and the Crown Prince, and they are unable to deliver memorials and supplies to the imperial palace in the capital.

The strategy of advancing to attack and retreating to defend was preferred by all officials. They don't covet the dream of getting promoted to three levels in a row. Because the realization is very slim, so the emperor dares to promise easily.

The new emperor is self-righteous. But the officials are very clear-minded.

Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan simply deduced the future development direction of the matter. They estimated that the soldiers guarding the city would surrender, and officials from various state capitals would not send reinforcements, food, or various vegetables and delicacies to the emperor, but would instead wait and see.

Not long after these analyses, the garrison on the imperial city surrendered in advance. The prince and the emperor did not want to use other people's hands to bring the second prince and his grandfather to justice.

The prince was capable enough to handle the capture of the second prince and the others by himself, and did not want these rebels to use this as a threat to impose more conditions. He also did not want the returning soldiers to fall into an unkind and unjust situation.

Because soldiers can only follow the orders of their commanders. So it's hard for them to do what they want.

Since they are only soldiers to support their families. You can't make the decision for yourself.

They bear the heavy responsibility of whether the whole family can have enough to eat. These young soldiers who once passionately protected the Lanyu Dynasty were not considered traitors even if they defected to the new emperor. They were just following orders, which is understandable.

Therefore, Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan suggested that the generals take their men and directly open the city gate to surrender. The emperor and regent were captured personally by Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan.

What the emperor and the regent never expected was that as soon as the decree was issued, not only did these officials not rush to express their loyalty to him, but they also sent soldiers from the city to come for reinforcements. Instead, there was not a single reply note, not even a word of reply. The officials were silent.

Only then did the emperor and regent realize that something was wrong. No matter how large the palace's inventory is, no matter how frugal it is, and even if some fresh vegetables and fruits can be brought in from the secret passage every day, it will still be a drop in the bucket. There are too many people in the palace, and one day it will eventually run out.

If the crisis of the imperial city siege is not lifted. They may soon become prisoners. They couldn't bear such a result.

The emperor and the emperor got together to discuss how to solve this crisis? They feel that the key lies in these eight thousand soldiers.

If their military morale does not waver and they persist in defending the city, they will be given more time to think of a solution. Contact other forces, promise high-ranking officials generous salaries, and ask them to help eliminate the two hundred people outside. This force is naturally a cultivator.

Because the imperial court has a fire chalcedony mine. At worst, he promised to give them half of the mine in the future.
