The Devil's Coming [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 106: Mountains and Rivers are the Most Important 4
This day is an unforgettable day in the history of the Great Jin Dynasty.
In the palace, the three dukes and nine ministers all pleaded for orders, but failed to shake the emperor's mind. Instead, they were casually sent away.
As they left the palace, the emperor's absurd behavior gradually spread and was known to more ministers and people.
For a while, the capital was in turmoil.
"With a powerful enemy at hand, your majesty's move, where does the country and the people live? How is it different from playing with beacons and playing with beacons?"
"This is the sign of the country's demise, this is the sign of the country's demise!"
Many knowledgeable people sighed like this.
Then, some people thought that it was impossible to do anything, so they resigned overnight and left without a trace to avoid being implicated and liquidated. Some people directly defected to the Great Wei to seek wealth and honor. Some people were unwilling to see the country and the people fall, and wanted to do their last bit for the Great Jin Dynasty.
Let's not talk about the first two. The latter, under the coordination of several prestigious ministers, gathered a group of people, ran to the palace gate and knocked on the gate, shouting the slogan of "kill the evil woman".
For a while, it seemed to gather a great momentum.
This is also the limitation of people's thinking in ancient feudal society.
Whenever something happens, they always like to find someone to take the blame for the emperor and wash the emperor himself clean. Either it is the beauty who brings disaster, or the treacherous ministers and eunuchs.
In short, the emperor is fine. If you want to blame, blame the evil villains who confuse the emperor's heart. As long as the evil villains around the emperor are killed, the emperor can be restored to a holy monarch and a wise ruler.
For a time, the slogan of "Please kill Ji Yunqing" spread throughout the capital. It seems that as long as the emperor kills this beauty, there is still hope of being rescued and becoming a wise ruler, and the country of Jin can also be preserved.
The public opinion is surging, and most people are afraid that they can't stand it.
Su Ying's approach was simple and crude.
He arrested all these people and put them in the Tianlao. He put as many people as he could into the Tianlao.
In just three days, the capital returned to peace.
Regardless of whether the view that "killing Emperor Ji Yunqing can make him a wise ruler" is correct or not, at least those who have made efforts for this are undoubtedly loyal ministers who want to save the Jin Dynasty. No matter how outrageous their methods are, their loyalty is unquestionable.
And now, the most loyal people have been put in prison, and you can imagine what kind of people the rest are.
Either they are traitors or they are cowards who are trying to protect themselves.
Especially after seeing the fate of those who were arrested and put in prison, even some loyal people have changed their minds.
——This dog emperor is really not worthy of loyalty!
——Da Shan is going to die!
——Since that's the case, why don't I go to another wise ruler, maybe I can win a fortune?
In the strange atmosphere, some thoughts that should not be born on ordinary days have arisen in the hearts of many people.
Especially those petty officials who originally had low official positions, and the middle and lower-level generals in the imperial army - their superiors have either resigned and fled overnight, or been thrown into the prison by the emperor. At this time, they can no longer control their subordinates, so the people below have small thoughts.
And this is just the Shenjing.
As countless letters were sent out of Shenjing, ministers from all over the world who had connections and connections in Shenjing learned about the turmoil in Shenjing from their own channels and looked sideways.
Especially the families and students of the ministers who were imprisoned by the emperor, they were all shaken, not knowing what to do, and it was difficult for them to continue to work peacefully.
There were those who were young, impulsive, and irritable, and they immediately rebelled and surrendered to the enemy, secretly sending letters to the Northern Wei camp.
The Northern Wei was of course ecstatic.
They had just received a threatening letter from Southern Jin, which said that he would exchange his cousin's life for thirteen cities. Li Ziye tore up the letter after reading it, and cursed the shamelessness of the rulers and ministers of Southern Jin for threatening them with the life of a weak woman. He also lamented that his cousin had made many difficult efforts for the Wei Dynasty and made great contributions. He praised her as a wonderful woman in the world and would never be willing to ruin the opportunity of the Wei Dynasty to unify the world because of her.
Then he swore on the spot that "if the cousin was injured in the slightest, he would definitely do this and that after defeating Southern Jin", which made the whole army feel the same hatred and the arrogance became stronger.
Anyway, he didn't mention the exchange of cities for people at all.
If Li Ziye didn't mention it, no one else would mention it, and even Ji Yunqing's brother in the army didn't mean to do so.
It's not that he didn't love his sister, but compared with the whole world, the life of one person was too light. Even he himself, or their father, the powerful left prime minister, was not worth thirteen cities.
Therefore, even if he spoke, it would only embarrass the crown prince Li Ziye and sow the seeds of disaster for the entire Ji family.
Li Ziye was intelligent and resourceful, and of course he knew that he could not just abandon Ji Yunqing so easily.
Privately, the two were cousins, and their friendship was extraordinary. Publicly, Ji Yunqing had made contributions to the Wei Dynasty, and it was too ruthless to abandon him without even trying to save him.
Although they could not agree to the conditions of exchanging cities, it did not mean that they would do nothing. Soon, Li Ziye had a long talk with the Ji family, and then sent elite troops to the capital of the Jin Dynasty, asking them to bring Ji Yunqing back to the Northern Wei Dynasty.
What else could the Ji family say about this? The superiors had already done this, and they could only be grateful.
And all this was just the impact brought about by Su Ying in just a few days after he came to this world.
Invisible undercurrents were surging throughout the world.
Chen Yuzhi knew nothing about this.
He only knew that Li Ziye had fallen into Su Ying's trap, and was about to reveal his ruthless face and completely lose the beauty's heart.
"Well done, why didn't I think of this, you can also use this method to alienate them!"
He praised Su Ying again and again, immersed in the joy of revealing the true face of his rival and winning the beauty.
"...Yes, it should have been done long ago. Yun Qing will know sooner or later that only I am sincere to her."
System 333, who was listening, was full of question marks:
[...Good guy, I said good guy! I didn't expect you to praise the host right away. If it were anyone else, they would have turned against the host at this time. His reputation is ruined, his loyal ministers are imprisoned, and the people have lost their hearts. With this set of moves from the host, he will never be able to turn over again! 】
"How can you slander someone out of thin air?" Su Ying felt that he was slandered. "I was obviously following his wishes and helping him to announce to the world how much he loved Ji Yunqing. In comparison, the so-called rival in love is simply insignificant. I don't know how satisfied he is now."
"——The mountains and rivers are not as good as you. I don't know how many female protagonists in the storybooks were moved by this and lived together with the male protagonists from then on, envying only the mandarin ducks and not the immortals."
Su Ying became more and more confident as he spoke: "I used my experience of reading all the storybooks to help him pursue his sweetheart."
——As for the reputation being ruined, loyal ministers being imprisoned, and the people losing their hearts? Hey, it doesn't matter. Isn't it normal to pay some insignificant price in pursuit of true love? Didn't the person involved protest?
Sure enough, Chen Yuzhi did not protest.
His focus was on something that System 333 had not thought of, and he did not forget to remind Su Ying:
"Oh, by the way, this is just to expose Li Ziye's true face, don't really put Yun Qing in the stinking prison, that's not where she should be."
[...She shouldn't, should others be in prison? He didn't mention any of those ministers in prison! ]
--The host threw so many loyal ministers into prison, and this guy didn't even object?
--Could it be that he thought these people wanted to kill the demon girl, so they were locked up in prison for a good reason?
For some reason, System 333 actually felt that this guess might be true. It was the first time that it was so speechless, and even had the illusion that "I don't know enough about humans."
It couldn't help asking: [Don't he know that once the country is overturned, everything is just a dream bubble? 】
"Of course he knows this." Su Ying thought the question from System 333 was a bit silly, "Who wouldn't know?"
"It's just that he doesn't think this will happen."
--In Chen Yuzhi's heart, the mountain is stable.
It was just a temporary defeat on the front line, and Li Ziye used the border defense map to launch a sneak attack and captured thirteen cities in a row. The secrets that Ji Yunqing passed on were limited, and Li Ziye's victory ended there. Dajin is not without good generals. If it continues to go deep into the hinterland of Jin, it will sooner or later be full of bumps. It is impossible to destroy the country in one battle.
Apart from other things, on the way forward of the Northern Wei army, the two important military towns of Taiyuan and Guanglin have always been easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the defending generals are not ordinary people. It is not a problem to defend for several months. If you find the right opportunity to counterattack, you may even turn defeat into victory.
In Chen Yuzhi's mind, he never considered the possibility of the country's demise. Especially since the Northern Wei commander is his rival in love.
Li Ziye was just a despicable villain who used the secrets stolen by Ji Yunqing to achieve success in one fell swoop. If you really think he has the ability to conquer the Jin Dynasty, you are overestimating him.
In short, Chen Yuzhi was unwilling to admit this possibility from the bottom of his heart.
As for the thirteen cities that had been lost, at worst, he could negotiate peace with the Northern Wei Dynasty and get them back through compensation and other means. Even if he couldn't get them back for the time being, he could still take them back after they were ceded.
Anyway, he felt that he was just caught off guard and attacked by surprise this time. With his ability, he would definitely be able to get back this place in the future.
After listening to Su Ying's words, System 333 understood Chen Yuzhi's logic of action-he didn't really want to win the beauty's smile with his vast territory, but he thought that this vast territory was always under his control and would not be lost.
This kind of thing has happened in history. At the end of the dynasty, the rebels were almost conquering half of the country, and the emperor was still singing and dancing in the palace, unaware of the crisis, thinking that he could settle everything by sending a general out at random.
In this regard, System 333 could only complain: [Why are these incompetent rulers always so ordinary but so confident? ]
"This is a question." Su Ying said that System 333 raised a question worth thinking about, "In fact, I also want to know the answer to this question."
He turned around and asked the person involved: "I have a friend who wants to know why you are so ordinary but so confident?"
Chen Yuzhi: "???"
Chen Yuzhi was confused at first, and then furious:
"--You dare to scold me?!"
Su Ying shook his head and suppressed the furious soul deep in this body in a minute:
"It's just telling the truth, how can it be called scolding? It's just to discuss the character of countless incompetent rulers throughout the ages. Such a serious and profound topic worth thinking about, but you actually thought I was scolding him. How short-sighted and shallow."
System 333: [……]
It feels like the host scolded, but it seems that he didn't scold?
The little light ball nodded up and down seriously:
[The host is right. It's just a serious discussion, but the defense of the tyrant is so easy to break! ]
Since being suppressed by Su Ying back into the depths of his body, Chen Yuzhi was like being locked in a dark little dark room.
When his consciousness emerged from the depths of darkness again, the first thing he heard was a cry from far away:
"It's bad, it's bad!"
"——The Northern Wei army is coming!"
Outside the city of Shenjing, flags were flying, and the black army was like a black sea of clouds, with no end in sight.
No one expected that in less than half a month, the Northern Wei army would magically bypass Taiyuan and Guanglin, directly attack Shenjing, and completely surround the capital of the Jin Dynasty.
Along the way, they were not discovered by the Jin Dynasty.
——Or, the Northern Wei army's surprise attack was too fast and too sudden, even if someone discovered it, they didn't catch up, so that the Northern Wei army had surrounded Shenjing before the news reached them.
Of course, Su Ying's various ways of undermining the people's and the army's morale also played a significant role in this. Some smart speculators who thought that "the Jin Dynasty was doomed to fail" had secretly surrendered, which also provided many conveniences for the surprise attack of the Northern Wei army.
So, Li Ziye descended from the sky like a myth.
Su Ying must have contributed to this.
Standing on the top of the city, looking at the dark Northern Wei army, Chen Yuzhi was completely confused, stupid, and panicked.
——Waking up, the capital was surrounded. What happened?
He couldn't help but question Su Ying: "What's going on? You can't even defend my country for half a month?"
Su Ying thought he was unreasonable: "Protecting the mountains and the country is not within the scope of our contract, right?"
As the king of a country, when you handed over your identity, didn't you ever think about the consequences at all?
"——From the beginning, this was not my obligation. Of course, my mind was used to pursue true love for you!"
