Chapter 313 Sudden defection

"I will pass the throne to Prince Yong now. From now on, Princess Yong..." The emperor said with a slight pause.

Yuan Hai used a gold-painted tray, holding the jade seal and the tiger charm, and knelt down beside the emperor's bed in a hurry.

Especially looking at the tiger talisman and jade seal that were brought over, the emperor's eyes clearly showed reluctance.

His trembling and weak hand was slightly raised, and he wanted to touch it.

But now that he has returned to Qingming, he himself is also aware of his body.

Among those holding it, one represented military power, and the other commanded the entire Jin Kingdom.

He tried so hard to raise his hands, but his body had its limits.

At this moment, a young eunuch came quickly with a pale face.

After entering the door in a panic, he fell to the ground.

After all, Yuan Hai is a man who has seen the world, and he immediately reprimanded him angrily: "How unbecoming is it to act in such a hurry!"

"It's not good... it's not good..."

The little eunuch's voice was filled with tears: "Ao Songxi, the general guarding the east of the city, led his men and together with Yuan Shiwang, the city defense battalion, defected this morning. Now there is no one guarding the city in the east. The enemy... the enemy..."

The little eunuch who had collapsed shouted: "The call is coming!"

Hearing these words, Yan Rujin's eyes widened suddenly. She never thought that Chengdong would rebel as soon as he said he would.

"Where are the soldiers?" She said and subconsciously looked towards the emperor.

Knowing that he had made a mistake, he hurriedly said cautiously: "I am also worried about my father's safety."

The emperor who was still hesitant just now, the hand he tried to raise fell heavily.

He closed his eyes slightly to express understanding.

Yan Rujin then said: "Where are the enemy troops now? Who are they attacking the city?"

Before the little eunuch could speak, he heard messy sounds at the door.

No matter how calm and composed, now everyone in the palace is beginning to become agitated.

"Princess Yong, you are now the queen of the Jin Kingdom, and the Jin Kingdom will be left to you!"

As he spoke, he did not forget to add: "Send me out of the palace!"

This emperor is typically afraid of death, and he is even less willing to be the king who subjugates his country.

Nowadays, the princes are no longer around, so she is the only daughter-in-law in name only.

To put it bluntly, he just had no choice.

Seeing this clearly, Yan Rujin immediately took the jade seal and military talisman.

"Father, don't worry, I will do my best to protect my father."

Seeing her kneeling down and kowtowing while holding the jade seal and military talisman, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief with satisfaction: "The Jin Kingdom now belongs to you!"

After that, the emperor reacted. Although Yan Rujin didn't explain it in her words, it sounded like she would not send him out of the palace.

Of course, you can see what he is thinking.

"Father, your personal guards must stay with you. In addition, 5000 of your sons, ministers and concubines will stay outside the palace to protect your safety."

Seeing the emperor about to speak, Yan Rujin smiled and said considerately: "The enemy troops have rushed into the city. Apart from the imperial city, I can't think of a safer place to go than here."

The enemy has already entered the city, and it is obviously more dangerous for him to escape now.

"5000 people? Leave at least [-] for me!"

At this time, the emperor seemed to be reflecting on the past, his face was rosy, and he said anxiously.

Yan Rujin didn't want to hide it from him: "Nowadays, Haojing is already plagued by a poisonous epidemic, and most of its useful soldiers have been lost."

As she said that, she sighed slightly: "Father, yesterday I ordered someone to make a count and found that there are only more than 1 Golden Feather Guards guarding the palace. Counting those transferred from the city defense camp, the full number is less than 8000. .”

"how come……"

As soon as the emperor spat out his words, he already thought of what he would do when he was manipulated.

Even the troops closest to Ho Kyung were transferred away.However, it is obviously too late to think about this now.

"Send me to the island in the middle of the lake, and you can free up some more people."

After all, there is a tunnel on the island in the middle of the lake. The people she sent into the tunnel have not come back yet.

At this time, the emperor sent him to the island in the middle of the lake.

"My concubine thought that the tunnel led to nowhere. What's more, King Yu has fled and the enemy suddenly invaded. I don't know if it is related to it."

The emperor paled when he heard this.

He had just managed to regain some blood, and he almost fell over in one breath.

Xuan Ran hurriedly inserted a needle into the emperor's head.

Yan Rujin heard that there was even more chaos outside the palace. She stood up slightly and glanced at the emperor: "Father, the emperor, my son, my concubine, I promise that the enemy will not be allowed to rush into the palace before my son, my concubine, is dead."

The old emperor finally took a breath and almost passed.

But in the current situation, he has no one available.

Throughout the entire palace, only Yan Rujin had experience in blocking the enemy forces of Northern Yan.

Although he knew it was a risk, he had no other choice.

Yan Rujin arranged a few words for her senior brother and then walked out of the palace with the jade seal and tiger talisman.

The palace maids and eunuchs all carried their burdens, and some even took advantage of the situation to rob the palace of gold and silver.

Wang Lei stood at the door, and his people turned a deaf ear to this.

This was also what Yan Rujin had ordered in advance.

Lined up outside the hall, lying on the ground are civil and military officials who have gradually recovered after taking Xuan Ran's medicine.

Among them, Yuwen Zhenguo was the most seriously injured. It should be said that all the generals were more seriously injured than the civilian officials this time.

"My dear ministers, when the late Emperor was in danger and was ordered to do so, Yan Rujin will do his best to protect the imperial city and the people of Jin Kingdom."

With that said, she handed the tray to Wang Lei.

When he saw the jade seal and tiger charm in Yan Rujin's hand, his face lit up with joy, and he suddenly knelt down.

Yan Rujin dragged the jade seal with one hand and held up the tiger talisman with the other.

This group of people is a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered. They have no choice.

"I implore Her Majesty the Queen to ascend the throne immediately. Long live your Majesty..."

Yuwen Zhenguo's voice was loud and clear, seeming to resound throughout the world.

He is like this, but not everyone is like this.

"Witch, now that the edifice of the Jin Kingdom is about to collapse, you take advantage of it and force my emperor to abdicate..."

Looking at the minister who had lost a piece of flesh on his face, Yan Rujin was not angry at him.

Instead, he explained in a good voice: "All the conversations in the palace just now were reported to the eunuch, and it was His Majesty who abdicated in danger. But now..."

She had already asked the messenger eunuch to change some of her words.

As she spoke, her eyes sharpened suddenly.

"My lord, now that the east guard of our Haojing City has defected, the enemy has entered the east of our Haojing City and massacred us. This noble and upright lord, how about you solve this matter?"

"You are a woman and you are overwhelmed. The old minister wants to meet His Majesty!"

"Why, let this old sour guy like you go? Why are you still caught and infected with a poisonous epidemic if you are so capable?"

Yan Rujin said, and kindly reminded: "Think about your family outside the palace. It's okay if the enemy captures a man, but women... you should know better than me, a woman, what they will do."

To scare is to scare, Yan Rujin also knows clearly that they need to see the actual plan.

"What I'm best at during the Chongshan Mountains is surprise. Throughout Haojing, we have many advantages such as familiarity with the terrain. I can organize people and gradually push back the enemy through street fighting."

Their people were saved by Yan Rujin, and now their family still needs Yan Rujin to lead the troops to rescue them.
