Proud Ruler of the World

Chapter 58 - Prime Minister Xu Leyu

Xu Leyu was the prime minister of the heavens, and the prime minister was an existence below one person and above tens of thousands.

This position could be used to compete with and restrict the three generals. The premise was that both sides were loyal to their country. However, once one side deviated from their course, the other would be different.

This Xu Leyu was a rising star. After Chu Zhi left the imperial government, he gradually climbed to the position of prime minister.

After that, they mutually restricted and contended against each other, and during this period of time, they also placed Jiang Qing on their enemy's list.

According to him, one reason was because he didn't want the emperor to be suspicious of him, and the second reason was that he really didn't like Jiang Qing and the rest of the warriors.

They had been fighting in the imperial court for a few years, and it was as they said, 'Accompanying one another like tigers and tigers'.

The two parties were fighting in such a delicate situation, and now Situ Leshui had surrendered. He was the only one in charge of the imperial court, and there were many matters that were currently being handled by him.

And right now, his prestige within the imperial court was not the slightest bit compared to the Emperor. Many of the older generation of the Imperial Guardians had been incriminated.

He would either be imprisoned, beheaded, or dismissed.

Right now, the imperial court was about to become Xu Leyu's court of law, and at that moment, the Northern Frontier army attacked.

He and the head of the imperial guards were the ones who had gathered the men to defend the city. The entire city was filled with people, and upon hearing that Chu Zhi's army had arrived, a lot of people had already left.

Those owner-class people and many of the private servants were pulled to defend against Chu Zhi's army. As the Prime Minister, Xu Leyu was even more so, he donated all of his family's wealth to the heavens.

From this point of view, he was still pretty good. But if he wasn't like that, with the might of the heavens collapsing, would he still have a chance to live?

Not to mention those who were still alive, those who died under his injustice numbered at least eight hundred, and that was only direct. There were countless people that had indirectly lost their loved ones, and if it wasn't for the fact that Heaven's Might still needed his power, Emperor Tianwei would have wanted to take him down a long time ago.

Before they could even react, Chu Zhi's army had already arrived.

"Your majesty! Quickly think of a way to escape! This old official is willing to lead people to defend the imperial palace to the death to protect the last piece of imperial land for His Majesty!" In the morning, Xu Leyu had been in the palace discussing countermeasures with the Emperor of Tianwei and the hundreds of officials of the civil and military forces.

Even though they were still called officials, but there were more than thirty people present including the emperor.

Most of the generals had either died in battle or surrendered to Chu Zhi's army. Many of the civil servants had already been killed before Chu Zhi's army could make it in.

Therefore, there were only thirty or so civil and military officials in the imperial court, and there were only about twenty thousand people in the imperial palace. And that included the palace maids, the beauties and eunuchs in the imperial palace.

"In this situation, can any of us leave?" The young emperor had already understood a lot of things, but he was now powerless in the face of these matters.

He was finally growing up, but it was completely useless.

In the Royal Palace, how many people wished for his death? After Situ Leshui surrendered, as his granddaughter, the empress was also removed by the emperor and sent into the cold palace. As the name implied, it was already good enough that he didn't kill her.

Now that Emperor Tianwei's wife had dispersed, it was only this much.

"Your Majesty, I …"

"Don't say anymore. Listen to my orders. Open the gates and surrender."

"Your Majesty, think twice!" Seeing that the little Emperor was going to surrender, Xu Leyu of course couldn't agree. If the City Lord came in and questioned him, he would die anyway. It would be better to resist now, as there might be a chance of survival.

"May Your Majesty reconsider." After Xu Leyu finished his speech, the remaining thirty odd civil servants spoke in unison.

The remaining civil officials in the palace were either afraid of death or had done all sorts of bad things.

Which of the Qing officials or good generals was not greatly ostracized? Although they wholeheartedly sought to serve their country, they could not resist the gluttony of the villains. Thus, the current Imperial Palace no longer possessed its former glory.

The bag from a few years ago didn't cover the iron face. After the young Emperor ascended to the throne, because it touched the interests of the Emperor, he was dismissed. He couldn't do anything about the God's Judgement Bag as he returned to his hometown just like that.

"Think again, what are you thinking about? If we surrender now, we might be able to keep our lives. If they attack, we won't even have a chance to surrender." "Men, open the gates." After Gu Guanyu returned, everyone from the Profound Sky Sect left. Seeing that the fate of their Heaven's Might had already come to an end, they felt that there was no way to save it no matter what they tried, so it was better for them to leave as early as possible.

But there wasn't even a single person who could be by Emperor Tianwei's side.

"Your Majesty, please reconsider!" Xu Leyu pleaded once again.

"I have made up my mind. Let's go." The Little Emperor Tianwei walked to the door of the Audience Hall, but he was stopped.

"Your majesty, what's the point in surrendering now?"

"You dare to stop me?" Emperor Tianwei was an Emperor after all, and even under such circumstances, his expression didn't change in the slightest.

"Your Majesty, we're all going to die anyway. We might as well go all out against them and drag a few of them down with us." Now that you have surrendered, we might as well fight for our lives since we will be killed no matter what. "

"Right, why not give it a try!" The Minister of the Department of Public Relations followed up with Xu Leyu.

"You all, you all …" Emperor Tianwei was unable to say a single word.

"Sure, your prime minister is really here. Men, escort the oligarchs out." Emperor Tianwei roared loudly.

At this moment, about a hundred imperial guards rushed over from the surroundings to protect Emperor Tianwei.

"I'll see who dares to stop me! Kill anyone who dares!"

"Yes sir!" These 100 people answered in unison. These 100 people were Emperor Tianwei's final trump card. Each of them had the strength of an early stage Qi Cultivating Stage, and their captain was even at the middle stage of Qi Cultivating Stage.

These hundred people were the hundred people that the people of Profound Sky Sect had found time to help train. They only listened to one person's orders, and that was the Little Emperor Tianwei.

"Men, stop them! Whoever dares to step out of the great hall shall be killed without mercy!"

"Yes sir!" It was at this time that another five hundred people surrounded the main hall. Judging from their individual strength, they were definitely not as strong as those hundred inner guards. However, their numbers and might were not something that those hundred people could compare with.

"Your Majesty, this old subject still hopes that you can see clearly!"

"Prime Minister, I really didn't notice that you were really good." Emperor Tian Wei pointed in the direction of Xu Leyu, and all the officials behind Xu Leyu dodged his gaze.

"You guys are great! I don't believe that anyone would dare to stop me. " Emperor Tianwei walked out of the Audience Hall under the protection of all the imperial guards.

"What are you waiting for? Take him down." Xu Leyu ordered.

The five hundred people gradually approached the hundred plus people of the Little Emperor Tianwei, forming an encirclement.
