Chapter 579: A dog jumps over the wall in a hurry
Fifty thousand elite troops of the Wei army came to the city, and their power was so overwhelming that the hearts of people in Jicheng were floating.
"Sir, sir, the Wei army is approaching the city. How can we deal with it?"
This sentence asked by a Yan State minister anxiously represented the sentiments of most people present.
In a short period of time, the Wei army attacked the city and conquered everything, and now its front was even close at hand.
Everyone present had a very important position in the Yan Kingdom's court, so they naturally saw the current situation clearly.
Yan Guo has lost the qualification to negotiate with Wei Jun, and is just a piece of fish on someone else's chopping board.
They originally thought that Dafu Zihe was on good terms with the Wei army, so they did not stand up when he launched a rebellion, but had an attitude of going with the flow.
But what they didn't expect was that after Zihe seized power in the Yan State, not only did he not fully cooperate with the Wei army, but he directly turned against the Wei army.
Seeing that the war is about to break out, how to make a choice has become a difficult problem for these ministers of the Yan State.
"The State of Wei is powerful and its army is elite. We, the State of Yan, cannot be our enemies."
Facing the eyes of everyone present looking at him, Su Sheng, the senior official of Yan State, slowly said this sentence, which immediately aroused the approval of everyone present.
"What the doctor said is absolutely true."
"We are the only ones who can match the strength of the Wei army."
"Being an enemy of the Wei army is asking for death."
…
There were endless voices of agreement around him, and they all nodded. The minister of the Yan State who had just spoken out asked, "Since we can't be enemies with the Wei army, what do we want to do to become a doctor?"
"I opened the city gates wide and let the Wei army enter the city."
"What!"
Even though he had already set the tone that the Wei army should not be an enemy, the words of Li Sheng, the senior official, still caused waves in the surrounding area.
Without caring about the shocked expressions of the people around him, the superior doctor Li Sheng stood up and said, "It is an unjust act for his son to raise an army to rebel and imprison the king."
"I have received a letter from Young Master Si, asking us to wait for an opportunity to open the city gate and welcome the elite Wei troops outside the city to enter the city."
"Wei is the overlord of the world and always puts integrity first. If the Wei army enters the city, they will definitely not commit any crimes and help you regain your throne."
"Everyone, we are helping the Wei army. Firstly, we can fulfill the friendship between the king and his ministers, and secondly, we can help the Yan country and the country. Isn't this an act of justice praised by everyone in the world?"
From ancient times to the present, all things should be done with a correct name. If the name is not correct, things will not be accomplished.
Doesn’t Li Sheng, the superior doctor, know that it was the Wei Jun he was talking about who single-handedly directed the palace coup in Jicheng not long ago?
Of course he knew it, not just him, but everyone present knew it.
However, for the sake of a high-sounding title, Li Sheng, the senior official, intentionally or unintentionally ignored the disgraceful role Wei Jun played in it, and emphasized the good reputation Wei had among the world.
Otherwise, how could he convince himself, and even the ministers of Yan State present, to make them determined to welcome the Wei army into the city?
What the name is is actually not that important, the important thing is that it must have this name.
First, King Wu of Zhou raised troops to attack merchants because King Zhou favored his wife, alienated his brothers, and indulged in pleasure. Later, Duke Huan of Qi led the allied forces of the princes southward because Chu did not pay tribute to Baomao.
Some are just for the sake of justice.
Sure enough, after Dr. Li Sheng said these words, the look of astonishment on the faces of most of the ministers present immediately dissipated a lot.
After thinking for a moment, a minister stood up and said, "What the doctor said is really a plan for the country."
"Everyone, together with our efforts, we will be able to welcome the Wei army into the city and help our country, Yan State."
"Well said!"
"Well said!"
Two cheers sounded at the same time as the minister's voice fell, but one of them came from the people present, and the other came from outside the door.
Before everyone could wonder who it was, the originally closed door was opened from the outside, and the sound of messy footsteps sounded in everyone's ears.
The next moment, torches illuminated the dark night like daylight, and the room was surrounded by tenacious soldiers.
"What the doctor said has really benefited Zihe a lot!"
Surrounded by everyone, he came to the door. Looking at the man standing in front of him at this moment, Dr. Li Sheng's face was not as calm as before.
"Doctor Zi led a large army into my residence late at night. He really mobilized an army and mobilized a large number of people!"
"If I hadn't come, how could I have heard such high talk from the superior doctor?" Looking at the superior doctor, Li Sheng, Zihe gritted his teeth and said, "If I hadn't come, I'd probably be dead soon, right?"
"Zihe, you are a traitor and traitor, and everyone in the Yan Kingdom will find and punish you."
"That's enough."
The hatred subsided a little, and a bit of disdain appeared on Zihe's face, "If you are so loyal to the emperor, why did you seal the gate of the palace that day and let me lead troops into the palace?"
"Why do you want to lure the wolf into the house and welcome the Wei army into the capital of Yan State when you keep saying it is for the sake of Yan State?"
"To put it bluntly, you and I are no different at all. It's just that I am a villain who dares to do things, but you are a sanctimonious 'gentleman'!"
"Hahaha……"
"you……"
"What are you?" His tone suddenly fell into the abyss, and Zihe's face was filled with a look of solemnity, "Here comes someone!"
"exist."
"Sending you all 'gentlemen' on your way."
"Here."
Following Zihe's order, a group of soldiers behind him swarmed forward, and the sharp weapons in their hands mercilessly stabbed these important figures who once stood high above the Yan Kingdom's court.
Feeling the severe pain in his body, Dr. Li Sheng looked at Zihe with difficulty and cursed with his last strength: "Zihe, you will not die well."
"Old guy, take care of yourself first."
Watching Dr. Li Sheng fall down with great calmness, Zihe looked at the direction outside the city with hatred, and then walked out of the mansion.
"Let's go, follow me into the palace!"
"Here."
…
"Bang……"
Ever since he was quilted and imprisoned, Duke Yan has always been frightened, fearing that something unexpected would happen to him at the next moment.
And when the sound of a broken door sounded in his ears, and he saw the extremely familiar figure outside the door, Yan Gong felt infinite fear in his heart at this moment, as if danger was about to befall him.
Somewhat hurriedly he got up, and Duke Yan said to Zihe with deep fear: "Doctor Zi, can you spare my life?"
"Originally, I had no intention of taking your Majesty's life, but it's a pity..." Zihe turned around and turned his back to Duke Yan, "The Wei army outside the city forced me to do this."
"Your Majesty, I hope you will forgive me for being rude."
"Come here, let me give you a lift!"
"Here."
…
"Click..."
There was a thunder in the dark night, and the thunder light flashed into the palace along the door, illuminating the lifeless body on the ground.
