Buddhist Miracle Doctor: The Dark Prince, Can't Get Rid of Him
Chapter 1183 No Way Out
The man sitting on the dragon throne is Zhou Hong, the King of Xixiang, who is 41 years old this year. He has been on the throne for five years and is originally from the same clan as Hui Ge.
Every time a new emperor ascends the throne, the dynasty and the reign title will change.
The earliest founding emperor of the Western Xiang Kingdom, Zhou Yude, was from the previous dynasty.
A fiefdom of a deposed prince, the Xixiang Kingdom has not been in existence for a hundred years. The land area was originally small and the foundation was unstable.
He declared himself king because of the help from the neighboring country of Wu Yu, who was also the king of Wu Yu, Huci.
It is precisely because of the support of Wu Yu State to Xi Xiang that the neighboring countries have been living in peace with Xi Xiang over the years. However, because of the close relationship between Xi Xiang and Wu Yu State, they are also wary of Xi Xiang.
At this moment, when the ministers heard their emperor so sad, they naturally understood what he meant.
Not to mention the fact that Xixiang was originally separated from Yan State, in recent years, the invasion of troops into Yan State has occurred intermittently every few years.
The most recent time, they were badly injured by the troops led by Xue Wenyu of Yan State.
"The Wu Yu Kingdom is so sinister and heartless. They are the ones who instigated every offense against the Yan Kingdom. They sent troops to help during the attacks, but once the Yan Kingdom fought back, they immediately withdrew their troops and became bystanders." A minister sighed and said in great grief and indignation.
Another person immediately responded, "The Wu Yu Kingdom didn't treat us as an ally, nor did they treat us as friends. They just used us as a knife. Now, this knife has not achieved their expected purpose and has not satisfied them.
Moreover, the knife was already stained with blood, so they might as well take it for themselves. Our ancestors have long said that there is no such thing as good things for no reason in the world, mi!"
After hearing this, the ministers all looked even more sad. So, Your Majesty, even if you want to abandon the country to save your life, you have no way out and no place to go.
In front is the Yan State, which has been offended. The neighboring countries on both sides are eager to destroy Xixiang State and are even more afraid of Wuyu State. How dare they take in Your Majesty?
"It is said that there is always a way out for everyone. What about the way out for us Xixiang? Where is it? Does God really want to destroy us Xixiang?" An old minister roared in grief and anger, then fainted.
The eunuchs nearby hurried over and carried the man out. When they got outside, they called for the imperial physician urgently.
The other officials in the hall were not indifferent to their unconscious colleague. Why were they in such a hurry? Everyone in the hall would die sooner or later. Once the Wu Yu Kingdom took over this place, everyone would die anyway.
"Your Majesty, I have some doubts, but I don't know whether I should speak them out or not." A minister in his forties said hesitantly.
Zhou Hong looked at the minister with bloodshot eyes; "If you want An to kneel down and surrender, you don't need to say it. Even if Xixiang is going to be destroyed, An doesn't want to kill his own ministers." As far as he could remember, the man who opened his mouth was a bit timid. Every time when it came to attacking Yan State, he was opposed.
The relationship with Yanguo was not something that would remain peaceful if he didn't offend anyone.
If he doesn't order the fight, will everything be alright?
When the previous emperor was in power, and when the previous emperor's predecessor was in power, they both issued orders to fight.
Even without Wu Yu's instigation, the kings of Xixiang would probably have had similar ideas.
The existence of Xixiang State is a thorn in the heart of Yan State. As long as it exists, the other party will take action against Xixiang sooner or later, but no one knows when.
"Your Majesty, no matter how useless I am, I will never persuade Your Majesty to surrender. What I want to say is that according to the military strength of the Wu Yu Kingdom, it is not difficult for them to destroy us, but why doesn't he give us a quick death? Instead, why is he so hesitant?
It can't be that he is deliberately doing this to amuse our subjects? Could there be some other reason behind this? "After the minister finished speaking, the others and Zhou Hong himself also agreed with this doubt.
In fact, most of them had been wondering in their hearts a few days ago, and were very puzzled by the actions of the Wu Yu Kingdom.
"Are they trying to use Xixiang as bait to provoke a war with our neighboring country?" "War?"
"It's possible. Wu Yu has long coveted its neighbor, but the difference in strength between them is not that great. Without full confidence, they dare not act rashly. Therefore, although Xi Xiang is small, it is still a piece of fat meat. If other countries also have the intention to come in and want to share a piece of the pie, Wu Yu will be able to take advantage of the opportunity to act?"
"It is possible." "Could it be that Wu Yu is afraid of Yan? After all, Xi Xiang was a vassal of Yan a hundred years ago. Yan will definitely not send troops to help us, but their newly enthroned young emperor, despite his young age, is a ruthless man. How can they tolerate others to eat our piece of fat meat?" "Yes, yes, this is also possible." "The young emperor of Yan? After all, he is still too young given his age."
The ministers started discussing the matter at once, temporarily forgetting the sadness and gloom of the impending demise of their country; the atmosphere was much better than before.
Zhou Hong leaned against the dragon throne, looking at his civil and military officials and listening to their discussions, his heart still as cold as an icy winter.
"Your Majesty, urgent news." At this time, a sharp voice came from the guard outside.
"My Lord, please come up here." Zhou Hong had been receiving urgent reports, all of which were bad news, and he had become numb to them.
I have already prepared for the worst. The worst that can happen is the destruction of the country. Is there any worse news than this?
When the urgent report was submitted, Zhou Hong didn't even want to read it and asked the supervisor to read it to him.
The urgent report was very concise. It was that the spies arranged at the border of Yan State discovered that Yan State was gathering troops near the border with Xixiang.
Suddenly, the hall, which had just been filled with heated discussions, became very quiet.
Well, we were just talking about Yeongguk. And the news has arrived!
Why would they gather their forces? Isn't it obvious?
There are two possibilities. First, they are unwilling to see Xixiang annexed by Wuyu State. Second, they may want to prevent Wuyu State from taking over Xixiang and not stopping, so they fight all the way to Yan State.
However, no matter which possibility it is, it is related to the Kingdom of Wu Yu.
For Xixiang, no matter who divided it up or annexed it, wouldn't the result be the same?
Xixiang was originally a part of Yan State, but due to the reason for its separation and what Xixiang did to Yan State afterwards, the two countries only have hatred and no common ancestral relationship.
The civil and military officials in the hall stared at their majesty in a daze, not knowing what to say. Comforting and appeasing him was meaningless. At this time, the man on the dragon throne straightened his body and raised his hand to straighten the crown; "My dear ministers, Xi Xiang is now facing this hopeless situation, it is Amin's incompetence. Regardless of the intention of the Yan State's gathering of troops on the border, Amin has made a decision not to flee, avoid, or kneel down.
Amine was going to put on his armor and fight with them. Even if he died, he would have some dignity to meet the late emperor in the netherworld.
Amine is waiting in this imperial city, and it depends on which side, the Wu Yu Kingdom or the Yan Kingdom, will have the honor to fight with Amine.
Pass down the decree, and ask the people in the capital to temporarily leave the capital and go as far away as possible. As for you, Amine has no requirements, you can make your own decision, and leave the court!" "Your Majesty, you can't do that."
"Your Majesty, please count me in as one."
The purpose of gathering troops at the border of Yan State is that Amine has made a decision not to flee, evade or kneel down in surrender.
Amine was going to put on his armor and fight with them. Even if he died, he would have some dignity to meet the late emperor in the netherworld.
Amine is waiting in this imperial city, and it depends on which side, the Wu Yu Kingdom or the Yan Kingdom, will have the honor to fight with Amine.
Pass down the order, asking the people in the capital to temporarily leave the capital and go as far away as possible.
As for you, I have no demands. You can make your own decisions. Leave the court now!"
"Your Majesty, you cannot do that."
"Your Majesty, please count me in as one."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I am still here. Even if I die, I will be the first to die."
In the hall, amidst the tragic voices, Zhou Hong smiled...
