Long Aotian's Pregnancy

Although the city gate was opened, the imperial army finally reacted and counterattacked even more violently.The soldiers under Yu Hongyi rushed in, protected the people from their whips and machetes, and started a bloody fight with them.

Almost from the beginning, the battle was pushed to its most tragic climax.

But the generals under Yu Hongyi's command have always fought more and more bravely, what about the imperial army?The people are no longer on their side, and their fighting spirit is destined to fade as time goes by.

The overall situation was settled, and Yu Hongyi didn't even participate in the final battle.

He just followed the road opened up by the soldiers in front of him, and drove the chariot all the way to the gate of the palace city.Even the imperial soldiers who were supposed to guard the entrance of the palace were sent to other places, and the officials didn't even know where they had gone.

But just before the gate of the palace city, Yu Hongyi saw a person who was a little surprised, but completely reasonable after thinking about it.

"Prince Gong."

Prince Gong bowed to him with a nod, and the eyes that fell on him were extremely complicated.

Yu Hongyi got off the chariot, smiled slightly at Prince Gong, "This trip can go so smoothly, I need some help from Prince Gong."

"I didn't do anything, don't push irrelevant things on my head." Prince Gong shook his head again and again, "You are so ambitious that you want to take over my Beiming country. I will only help you when I am crazy."

Yu Hongyi smiled and didn't insist anymore.Speaking of this Prince Gong, it was only the second time he had met him.Compared to the high spirits when Qi Hong was stuffed into his hands last time, the current Prince Gong looks much older, obviously worried by Yu Hongyi's actions during this period.And as a relative of the emperor, Prince Gong really has no reason to help Yu Hongyi instead.

But during this period of time, both of them knew who was stumbling the imperial army's footsteps from inside again and again.

Prince Gong was silent for a long time, finally sighed, and couldn't help asking in a low voice, "How is that child Qi Hong doing recently?"

"He is now the top general in the Eighth Brigade, and he is currently performing my mission elsewhere." Yu Hongyi replied, "Compared to before, he has completely changed."

Prince Gong was a little relieved when he heard the words, but his expression was even more complicated than just now, "I didn't know if it was a blessing or a curse when I handed him over to you. Now, I can only hope that his vision is not the same. Nothing wrong."

After finishing speaking, Prince Gong narrowed his eyes again, and looked Yu Hongyi up and down.

Yu Hongyi just stood there, letting him watch, exuding a surprisingly calm demeanor.

There is no doubt that this is the bearing of the superior.Prince Gong compared with his own bearing, and it was not as good.This is a kind of demeanor of being a king...but even His Majesty the Emperor of the Northern Ming Dynasty is actually incomparable.Not to mention that he has been ill for a long time at this time, even when he was young, he was completely inferior.

"Who are you?" Prince Gong couldn't help asking.

Yu Hongyi smiled but did not answer.

Prince Gong raised his eyes again, looked outside the palace city, those common people who followed behind Yu's army and spontaneously resisted the imperial army, "You are very good at controlling people's hearts."

Yu Hong said, "I know what the people want."

"The people under your nose can be instigated by you, and the court is not wronged this time." Prince Gong shook his head, and asked him again, "It is indeed a beautiful idea to use the people to open the door from the inside, but after all, the people are not for you. So, how can you be sure that everything will go so smoothly?"

Yu Hongyi smiled, "No, I'm not sure at all."

Prince Gong's pupils dilated slightly, and there was some surprise.

"The overall situation has been decided. Beiming's domestic reinforcements are completely unable to change the situation of the battle, and Caesar and Dongqing have no intention of aiding at all. The imperial court's defeat is a matter of time." Yu Hongyi said, "no matter whether the people can successfully open the The city gate, sooner or later we will break through the city, and at worst we will break in by ourselves. The only difference is that these people live or die."

Prince Gong understood what he meant, and the expression on his face changed several times.

"If the people successfully open the city gate, they can survive with minimal sacrifice. If they can't, they will starve to death, or even be killed when we attack the city. In any case, our victory cannot be changed." Yu Hongyi also turned sideways and looked at the generals who were protecting the common people, "The reason why they can be protected now is because they have proved that they are indeed qualified to survive."

Prince Gong was silent for a while, then smiled wryly, "You are not a benevolent monarch."

As the sun set, the sky was already turning red, and Yu Hongyi turned around under the fiery red clouds.The setting sun shone from behind him, drawing a bright outline.

"I've never been a benevolent gentleman," he said.

Such a scene made Prince Gong a little dizzy, and he couldn't help taking a deep breath.After a while, he finally took a step back and pointed his finger inside the palace gate, "Your Majesty is waiting for you."

Yu Hongyi tilted his head to glance at this person, not surprised.

Under the guidance of Prince Gong, everything in the palace city was not obstructed, and Yu Hongyi soon arrived at the residence of His Majesty the Emperor.

He had been here once before, and it had been about nine months now.When he came last time, the room was filled with a strong smell of medicine, and he could only see the vague figure of Emperor Beiming through the veil.When he came back at this time, the smell of medicine in the room was even stronger, and those veils were pulled away from his eyes.

Yu Hongyi finally saw the seriously ill Emperor of Beiming.Compared with the last time when he could barely sit still, the emperor could only lie on the bed at this time, becoming more and more weak.But the emperor still stared wide-eyed, looking straight at Yu Hongyi's figure walking in from the outside.

The maids and eunuchs stood aside, trembling, not even daring to breathe.

Yu Hongyi walked to the window with lowered eyes, and was about to salute out of respect for a dying person, when the emperor on the hospital bed suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed his arm.

At this moment, Prince Gong seemed to jump in fright, and resisted it so as not to rush over.

Yu Hongyi set his eyes on the grasped wrist.The opponent used a lot of strength, not like the strength that a dying person should have.But the condition of the body cannot be fooled, and the time is indeed numbered.

"You, you eradicated traitors for Beiming..." His Majesty the Emperor seemed to be exhausting his entire life, intermittently, but firmly as if every word was smashed down, "I, I want to thank you! Thank you! "

"Your Majesty doesn't need to be so courteous." Yu Hongyi said, "I am not entirely for Bei Ming."

The emperor rolled his eyes and looked at him again, "You, are you still my Beiyi General of Beiming?"

Yu Hongyi paused.

Before he could reply, the emperor hurriedly said, "I can appoint you as the regent and let you control the power of Beiming, as long as you assist the prince well..."

"Your Majesty!" Prince Gong couldn't help calling out, as if he couldn't bear the emperor's own humiliation.

Before today, he might still think that this kind of idea is worth a try, but after the face-to-face conversation with Yu Hongyi today, Prince Gong is very clear that Yu Hongyi is definitely not someone who will be satisfied with the regent.

But His Majesty the Emperor didn't intend to take back what he said, he just locked Yu Hongyi firmly with his two wide eyes.

After a long while, Yu Hongyi smiled, "It might be an interesting thing to be a helper."

His Majesty's eyes lit up, and Prince Gong sighed.

"But Your Majesty." Sure enough, Yu Hongyi quickly said again, "The premise of this matter is that I have to find someone worthy of my assistance. The prince is still young now, and may have unlimited potential in the future... But does the current him have enough ability to control me?"

The emperor's eyes dimmed.

Obviously, the prince did not.The prince is benevolent, but even the open and secret fights in the court can make him burn out, let alone control someone like Yu Hongyi.From the moment the emperor said that, it was just a dying struggle that he couldn't reconcile without trying.

"At least, at least..." the emperor trembled, "The prince is innocent... save the prince's life..."

Yu Hongyi simply nodded, "It must be so."

Only then did the emperor take a deep breath, finally let go of Yu Hongyi's wrist, and glanced at Prince Gong again.Prince Gong understood the meaning and took out a piece of silk from the emperor's bedside.

Just as he was about to spread out the brocade silk, a guard suddenly rushed in outside the door, "Prince...Prince, he was taken away by the prime minister's men!"

"What!" Prince Gong shouted in shock.

"We rushed to the East Palace with General Li and wanted to bring the crown prince, but we were one step too late!" The guard shouted anxiously, "The prime minister sent his own bodyguards and took the crown prince hostage. Run outside the city!"

Prince Gong's wrist trembled violently.

"Which way are you running?" Yu Hongyi was as calm as ever.

"North of the city..."

"There is a high mountain in the north of the city, isn't it?" Yu Hongyi turned around, looked at Prince Gong and said, "Don't worry, my people will save the prince."

At this moment, the prime minister was already surrounded by his personal guards, and fled all the way into the valley north of the city.

"Troublemakers! A group of ignorant villains!" While fleeing, this person continued to yell and curse, "I kept saying that I was harming Beiming, so wasn't I doing it for Beiming? These ignorant villains only know people's complaints all day long! If they are all honest and don't complain about this and that all day long, how can they attract those red-eyed monsters, and why do they need flower girls? That's why I reduced the number of those troublemakers and tried every means to expand the national treasury, all for the sake of the rest People live a better life! With such good intentions, no one understands!"

Some of the guards around agreed with him, while some frowned, but didn't argue with him.

A boy who was tied behind them to block the arrows from the pursuers was the young prince.

"Let those unscrupulous people be proud for a while!" The Prime Minister shouted like crazy, "Wait for me to lie dormant for a while, and I will definitely make a comeback in the future! Get up..."

Before the word "Qi" landed, the prime minister's words came to an abrupt end.

boom!The intruding fireball smashed into the middle of the group of people, igniting a sea of ​​flames.

Then there were wind blades, ice cones, water currents... All kinds of attacks that had never been seen before followed one after another, and buried the prime minister's figure in an instant.
