Imperial warlords: Cannons are the only truth

After Tian Chengbi left, Xie Kangnian turned around and went to the Imperial Study.

Inside the Imperial Study, Hope Miles, the Georgian ambassador to the capital, was already waiting.

"His Majesty.............."

Upon seeing Xie Kangnian enter, Hope Miles immediately stood up and bowed.

"I'm sorry to have kept Ambassador Miles waiting," Xie Kangnian said, coughing violently again.

"Your Majesty, you must take care of your health," Hope Miles said politely. "Should we have the embassy's physician come to the palace to examine you?"

“No need, it’s just an old problem.” Xie Kangnian shook his head. “Ambassador Miles, let’s get down to business.”

As he spoke, Xie Kangnian took out a leather briefcase from the bookshelf next to him.

"I have prepared all the documents here, and they have all been stamped with the imperial seal and signed."

Xie Kangnian handed the thick document bag to Hope Miles: "Take this back, sign it, and you can use it anytime."

"This can be considered my final gift to my 'old friend' after so many years of cooperation."

"As for whether it will be useful, I probably won't live to see it..."

"Your Majesty, are you really not going to consider the suggestion to temporarily seek refuge in the embassy district?"

“We can make arrangements in secret, and then find an opportunity to send His Majesty out.”

"As long as we overcome the current difficulties, Your Majesty can recuperate in Gelian with peace of mind. Once the crisis in Xiluo improves, we are absolutely willing to help Your Majesty regain the power that rightfully belongs to you!"

"Thank you for your kind offer, Ambassador Miles." Xie Kangnian shook his head with a wry smile, "Let's forget about it."

"I know my body best. A series of terrible things have taken a toll on my health."

"We definitely can't wait any longer..."

"It is better to return to one's homeland than to die far from home."

"Life is unpredictable. If it weren't for this sudden economic collapse that caused turmoil in the Western Luo Continent, how could people like Zhuo Yongwang have been able to reach the capital city!"

"Today's defeat, in the final analysis, may well be the will of Heaven!"

"But Xie Kangnian is absolutely unwilling to stand by and watch that bastard Zhuo Yongwang swagger around in the capital."

"Though I have been defeated, Zhuo Yongwang will not be able to peacefully indulge in his grand dreams!"

"I don't care about any infamy or charges!"

Xie Kangnian's emotions were bordering on madness: "Since Heaven will not allow me to be the wise and virtuous ruler who saves the Great Qian from its peril, then I will make him infamous for ten thousand years!"

"My name must not be forgotten!"

"Whether it's a good reputation or a bad reputation, being able to be remembered is a skill in itself!"

After a moment of frenzy, Xie Kangnian then ordered Hope Miles to leave.

At this moment, the evil of human nature was fully displayed in Xie Kangnian!

In order to satisfy his twisted desire for revenge before his death, Xie Kangnian secretly summoned Hope Miles to the palace.

This is the "super gift" that Xie Kangnian left for Zhuo Yongwang, or rather for the entire Daqian Empire, which could potentially drag the entire Daqian Empire into an abyss of no return at any time in the future!

Xie Kangnian did not reveal a single word about this matter to anyone.

Even Tian Chengbi, whom he trusted most, was completely unaware of this contingency plan Xie Kangnian left behind before his death.

The purpose of doing this is singular—to ensure the absolute success of this matter.

Xie Kangnian knew that if the information he had given to Hope Miles leaked out, all his efforts would likely be in vain.

Those items must be brought back to Georgian territory safely and secretly in order to play their proper role in the future!

Having gone completely insane, Xie Kangnian now had only one thought in mind.

That is—since no one is giving him a way to live or making his life easy, then no one should expect to have an easy life either!

Although Xie Kangnian's power is now gone.

But that doesn't mean he can't do anything!

He not only did it, but he did it in a way that was unprecedented and unparalleled!

To say that there will be no one like him in the future might be a bit of an overstatement, but it is certainly true that there has never been anyone like him before.

Throughout the history of the Great Qian Dynasty, no one has ever set such a precedent.................

Some people have ceded territory and paid reparations, but being forced to do so and doing so voluntarily are two completely different things.

To be honest, even Hope Myers initially thought he had misheard when he learned about this.......................

On his deathbed, he deliberately planted so many landmines for his country; few people would believe it if told otherwise.

June 21st, 10th year of Yongsheng, at exactly 12 noon.

A raging sea of ​​flames engulfed the imperial palace in the capital.

Wearing a dragon robe, Xie Kangnian sat on the dragon throne in Chengtian Hall and committed suicide by drinking poison.

Soon, the main hall, which had been doused with oil beforehand, was engulfed in flames...

At 2:30 p.m., Zhuo Yongwang led his troops into the capital.

This also marks the official end of Xie Kangnian's era, and the once-powerful Xie faction has completely collapsed.................
