At this time, Emperor Yuan Zhao had already focused entirely on the firearm, and had even reached the point of being a demon. As the Lord of Nine Five, he stayed at the general's supervisor for at least one or two hours a day. Because there was not enough staff in the general's supervisor, he also mobilized nearly a thousand craftsmen from the Ministry of Works to rush to make the thunder developed by the general's supervisor every day.

Nowadays, it is too late to create the thunder that can be used by the catapult cart in the southwest. All the court can do is to create as many thunder as possible as possible, so that even if the city cannot be attacked, it can ensure that the guards of the capital are impregnable.

After all, when the sky thunder was first made, it shone brightly when guarding Hanzhou City. Dozens or hundreds of sky thunders were thrown down from the city wall, and the enemy would immediately lie down a large piece. It was much better than the effect of boiling oil in gold juice.

In order to ensure the safety of serving as supervisors, the emperor also allocated all Qianniu Guards among the three imperial guards to the vicinity of serving as supervisors, and the guards would serve as supervisors.

Logically speaking, if the capital had a large amount of thunder, the Southwest Army would not have been able to break through the capital without any number of people. However, the imperial court only roughly figured out what materials needed to make gunpowder at the end of last year, and added some materials that were not originally needed, which led to the fact that the gunpowder material reserves in the capital were not particularly large.

It is true that the number of troops in the southwest is not enough to surround the capital. It can only block the west gate of the capital. The other three sides of the capital, especially the east gate, can still enter and exit. However, in this case when the southwest army is at the city, once a large number of horses enter the capital, whether it is materials for transporting gunpowder or necessities such as grain, it will definitely be discovered by the Southwest Army. Unless the imperial guards are willing to send troops to protect these horses, the materials will definitely not be sent in.

Moreover, the power of the imperial court's thunder is far worse than that of the southwest thunder. It is still unknown who can support the two sides until the end.

Li Shuo's Ningzhou army finally stopped for a day after bombarding the capital for three days. On the fourth day, the Ningzhou army rested on the spot and no longer sent catapults to bombard the city walls.

At the same time, the old prime minister Yang Shu also returned to the capital from Luzhou and entered the capital from the scarred Xicheng Gate.

When the old man passed by the West City Wall, he glanced at the scarred city wall and sighed slightly.

When Ye Lin left the city to see Li Xin, he was still sneaky, but Gong Yang Shu was the "envoy" sent by the imperial court. This time he went to Beijing, he was immediately taken into the imperial city. The emperor and several prime ministers from the Shangshutai were all waiting for the hard-working and contributing old man.

After the old prime minister entered the side hall, he bowed to the emperor and said, "I have seen Your Majesty."

Emperor Yuanzhao was not wearing the emperor's uniform at this moment, but just wearing an ordinary white dress. He walked down the steps himself, helped Gong Yangshu up, and took a deep breath: "Old Prime Minister, what are you talking with the Southwest Army?"

The Great Jin Dynasty, which had been strong for decades, was defeated by the enemy to the capital. Hundreds of thousands of imperial guards in the capital could not be defended. After being bombarded for three days, all kinds of pressure were pressed on Emperor Yuan Zhao. He was just a young man in his early twenties this year. Although he tried hard to maintain the image of a emperor with a calm and gentle atmosphere, how could he not panic in his heart?

He was not only afraid, but he was even scared to death.

Because he was facing Li Xin, his own teacher, and the invincible Marquis of Jing'an in the Great Jin Dynasty!

When he was only three or four years old, Li Xin assisted Emperor Taikang to complete the Renchen Palace Transformation. Since then, the prince has grown up by listening to Li Xin's story. Moreover, his time in Jing'an Marquis's Mansion is almost as tall as when he was in the Eastern Palace. Li Xin's image in his heart is extremely tall.

Even after he became the emperor, he was still a little afraid of Li Xin.

Until the Chen Yan Incident, several auxiliary ministers left the court one after another, and Li Xin himself left the capital and returned to Yongzhou. Emperor Yuan Zhao slowly grasped the core power of the imperial guards in the capital and the court, and realized that his own power had far surpassed Li Xin, the teacher, and slowly let go of his awe.

But now, the Southwest Army has severely shattered the young emperor's confidence in his almost invincible attitude, and even made him feel a little afraid to face the reality that the Southwest Army is at the city. He can only bury his head in the general and on the firearms that are at the supervisor to be the supervisor, so that he can barely feel at ease.

At this time, he wanted Gong Yang Shu to bring back some good news. Wentingge

Gong Yang Shu first looked at the prime ministers around him, then looked at the emperor, shook his head slightly: "Your Majesty, the conditions proposed by Marquis Li are too harsh, it's better not to mention them. What I mean is that the court is still actively preparing for war, and there is no longer any negotiation."

The emperor also looked around and spoke to the other prime ministers: "Please avoid it for now, I will talk to the old prime minister."

After the prime ministers left, only two old and young people were left in the side hall. The emperor looked at Gong Yang Shu with a hoarse voice.

"I... can abdicate."

Emperor Yuan Zhao's thin lips trembled slightly, and his voice was low: "Master Li can't stand this emperor, I can... take my sixth brother into the capital and give him a seat. He is my younger brother, so it doesn't matter who we brothers will do this position."

Speaking of this, the emperor took a deep breath.

"As long as the Southwest Army withdraws its troops, I will immediately issue an edict to abdicate. At the same time, the court will not hold any responsibility for the Southwest Army. What title was Li Shi's original title in the court and what title will he have in the future... I can take the last step and recognize the establishment of the Southwest Kingdom..."

Being "army at the city" by the rebels is already a great shame for the great Jin Dynasty. If he is forced to abdicate by the rebels, it will be a greater shame. However, at present, Emperor Yuan Zhao has no other way to go, and the court is not sure about dealing with the Southwest Army...or in other words, Li Yan is not sure about dealing with his teacher.

He... was scared.

Gong Yang Shu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Mr. Li insisted on the Southwest Army entering the capital, otherwise he would not agree to withdraw his troops. The old minister told him that it was impossible to let the Southwest Army enter the capital. This is equivalent to putting a magical weapon in the hands of others, and the court would never compromise."

Speaking of this, the old man looked up at the emperor and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, what a heroic hero of Emperor Wu who conquers the south and the north? Now only three or four generations have passed, how can he lose the mighty style of Emperor Wu? What I mean is that if you let the Southwest Army enter the capital, there is no difference between being defeated on the front line. If that is the case, just fight them to the end. At the worst, it is just the Southwest Army entering the capital!"

The emperor turned around and returned to his position. After sitting down, he said dejectedly: "Can the Imperial Army of the Gyeonggi really beat the Southwest Army?"

"Li... I believe that since he was seventeen, he has never lost a single battle or suffered a loss. He has been in the capital for more than ten years and has commanded the imperial guards of the capital. He knows better than anyone else what the capital looks like, but even so, he still leads troops to attack the capital."

He lowered his head and murmured to himself: "First there is the thunder, then the catapult cart, and there is the iron pipe that can hurt people. No one knows how many things he has hidden..."

"I……"

The twenty-one-year-old emperor sat on his dragon couch, and his body was slightly trembling because of fear.

He was already a little regretful now.

If Li Xin had asked to depose the auxiliary minister in the first year of Yuan Zhao and asked him to take power in advance, he would have completely stood on Li Xin's side, what he is now might not be like.

At least it won't be that bad.

But now, he could no longer control the situation. He even remembered his father who had been in vain for more than five years.
