Chapter 119: The Empress is about to die. What do you think?
Not to mention his subordinates who were excited, even Li Jize's pupils shrank and he took a breath.
The Grand Marshal of the Army? The commander-in-chief of all the troops of the Great Qi?
Does Li Jize think that Da Qi is good?
No! His original plan was for the Empress to die in the capital, and then for Li Zhenbei to fight with the barbarians, causing chaos in the world, and then he would come out to reap the benefits.
but……
This move is really a bit mean!
It was mainly because Li Jize was labeled a "traitor" and was watched by the empress, so he had no way to develop and had to resort to this method.
The consequence is...
The common people would be robbed once by the government troops, then again by the rebel army, and then again by the barbarians.
Even if Li Jize really did reap the benefits, even if he fought tooth and nail, he still managed to take over the North.
The Great Qi in the south is still there! He has to go and fight again!
To put it bluntly, in the colonial era that is about to begin, population is the biggest dividend!
The common people are the ones who suffer from this repeated fighting.
But if you say...
If! I really got the title of Grand Marshal of the Army, no matter whether it is practical or not.
As long as Li Jize's troops are strong enough, he can learn from that Cao thief! In the name of saving the emperor, he can "hold the emperor hostage to command the princes."
I didn't move before because Li Jize was carrying a stigma. He led the troops to purge the court! He was a rebel! The South and other places would definitely not accept it!
but now……
But it was legitimate. The Empress had ordered him to lead the troops into the capital! Once he got the position of Grand Marshal of the Army, whether it was Da Qi or the Empress! As long as the time came, the brothers would approve the yellow robes, and Li Jize would turn the tables and let the Empress become his concubine, and he would become the Emperor.
Accomplish the great cause of conquering the world without bloodshed and by minimizing harm to the common people!
Just because he thought of these things, Li Jize felt his breath tighten. This was a great thing that seemed like a pie falling from the sky.
Of course……
Li Jize looked at his son-in-law Wang Tongjiao and said coldly, "Are you serious, son-in-law? Your Majesty is really going to give me the position of Grand Marshal of the Army?"
Wang Tongjiao was a little helpless. Things had come to this point, and he was willing to give it his all just to get Li Jize to send troops.
"It's true!"
"Bring the imperial edict, documents, and seal to this king!"
"This... King Qin, the capital is in danger right now, and we escaped! We lost these things along the way. If the King Qin sends his troops, I guarantee with my life that these things will be found!"
Wang Tongjiao had an expression of being ready to die, which really scared many people.
Li Jize was stunned for a moment, then stood up in front of everyone, gulped down the entire bowl, and slammed it to the ground. "Everyone! Everyone knows that I, Li Jize, value loyalty above all else! Now that Your Majesty is in trouble, it's time for us to serve the court. Pass on my orders! Prepare the warships immediately, and sail upstream to the capital to defend the king!"
"Yes!"
Everyone clasped their fists and bowed.
Wang Tongjiao and Zhao Xinzhi both let out a long breath.
Anyway...
Li Jize is willing to send troops! This time, Your Majesty is saved.
……
The mighty warships consisted of four main battleships converted from large merchant ships, and the rest were small boats.
The troops assembled very quickly, which fully demonstrated that Li Jize's "Qin Army" was well-trained. He didn't want to control the world's troops as soon as possible! He wanted to kidnap the empress as soon as possible.
A large number of ships sailed on the sea. Chen Yingyuan, the chief official of the palace and Li Jize's aide, could not help but whisper, "Your Highness! Given the... the character of the current emperor, how could she appoint you as the Grand Marshal of the Army? Before, you only commanded a unit of Beiliang Wolf Cavalry, and she was already wary of you. This time, I'm afraid..."
The implication was that Wang Tongjiao and his gang were probably fabricating the imperial edict to trick them into sending troops!
It's really a stretch to say that he lost the imperial edict, seal, etc. while escaping.
Finally, Li Jize, wearing armor and a white robe, looked at the river. He grinned faintly and said, "Ying Yuan! I know that the prince consort is falsely conveying the imperial edict."
"Oh? If that's the case, Your Highness, why did you fall for it? Could it be... that you still have feelings for His Majesty?"
Li Jize's face was filled with black lines. What kind of feelings are you talking about? The one who has feelings has been sunburned to death by this woman, okay?
"Why did the Empress ask me for help?"
"Because the rebels are at the gates of the city!"
"Then let me ask Ying Yuan... How can we not make a peace treaty under the city's siege?"
Ok?
Chen Yingyuan understood instantly! He got it!
as predicted……
Wang Tongjiao, Zhao Xinzhi and their group were all delighted, thinking that their plan was good enough to trick the King of Qin into coming out to defend him!
At that time, as long as His Majesty can be rescued, what does it matter if his son-in-law Wang Tongjiao forges the imperial edict?
If he dies, the country of Da Qi will be saved, and he will not be unworthy of his status as the "prince consort".
Unfortunately, it’s still Qinghe County!
The mighty Qin army stayed in Qinghe County and refused to leave!
Three days passed in a row, and in the blink of an eye it was already the fourth day of July in the fifteenth year of Xuande.
I don’t know what the situation is in the royal capital, and I don’t know whether His Majesty is alive and well?
Wang Tongjiao and Zhao Xinzhi really couldn't wait any longer, so they hurriedly sent someone to inform them that they were going to see Qin Wang Li Jize.
As soon as they met, Wang Tongjiao asked Li Jize directly, "King of Qin! The capital is under siege, and the Holy Emperor's life or death is unknown! Why are you staying here?"
Li Jize's answer was: "You are not allowed to enter without an imperial edict!"
Wang Tongjiao was anxious, "The imperial edict has been lost, I must go to the capital to make up for it!"
Li Jize retorted, "If the whole world were like this, how could the Holy Emperor still be called the Holy Emperor?"
Wang Tongjiao choked!
Damn it, Li Jize, you old bastard, you are so shameless.
What do you mean?
Li Jize meant that if you follow your husband's wishes, all the troops in the world can go to the capital without an imperial edict! Then is the emperor still the emperor?
Doesn’t it mean that anyone with troops can become emperor!
This time, Wang Tongjiao understood!
Li Jize and his men had long seen through his false imperial decree and there was no such thing as the Grand Marshal of the Army.
The reason why he was willing to be fooled was that he planned to make a "capitulation".
If the Empress wants me, Li Jize, to send troops to rescue you, fine! First, take out the imperial edict, seal, and documents of the Grand Marshal of the Army and let everyone know. Only then will I, Li Jize, rescue you!
If not...
What did Li Jize think about the fall of the capital and the empress hanging herself?
I looked up and down, I looked left and right, I sat on the bench and crossed my legs to look!
Anyway, I won’t take any action without the title of Grand Marshal of the Army.
Wang Tongjiao was furious. "Why would the King of Qin do this? If it were to rescue the capital, His Majesty would be willing to help, not to mention the Grand Marshal of the Army of the World."
Li Jize thinks, you are afraid that I am a fool!
I really drove Li Zhenbei away, but the empress refused to admit it and refused to open the gate of the royal capital to let him in.
What can Li Jize do?
Let all the brothers rebel? Risk their lives to knock against the 14-meter-high wall of the royal capital?
