Chapter 222: Immortality (I)

"Quick, close the gates!"

The inner city is the last checkpoint of the palace, and here are the most elite guards in the entire Jinling City, they are basically selected from the barracks, from a clean background, and their ability is one of the best among the soldiers, such guards and pro-army, in the defense of the inner city, there are a total of 1,000 people.

The rulers of all dynasties, when the greater the power and the higher the status, the more afraid of death and the more desperate they are.

Since Wei Yue ascended the throne, especially after being assassinated in the palace, his suspicions have become more and more serious day by day.

Not only after that incident, he slaughtered all the palace maids and chamberlains in the palace, and gave the palace a big change, but also in the defense of the inner city, the more uplifted.

The walls of the inner city were already very high, but in the past, in terms of thickness and height, it was far less than now, since the assassination of that incident, Wei Yue ordered that on the existing basis of the inner city wall, increase the height, thicken, spend a lot of money, carry out the reconstruction, but also outside the high wall of the inner city, dig out a ditch that is not much narrower than the outer city, which quotes the living water of the same river as the outer city, and in the ditch, there are many spikes with the tip facing up, if someone accidentally falls into the ditch, they will not be drowned, but will also be seriously injured。

Although Wei Yue has the name of the Son of Heaven, he has never handed over the defense of the inner city to any minister, but personally manages this group of guards and pro-army, not only that, but also slowly and continuously transports a large number of materials and weapons to the inner city, so as to arm the thousand people in the inner city.

It can be said that these 1,000 people can protect the entire inner city like an iron bucket.

Successfully retreating into the inner city can be regarded as the last place of refuge for Wei Yue and the group of civil and military forces that followed.

"Quick, close the city gate!" Under Wei Yue's orders, several civil officials who followed Wei Yue's side retreated, and they escorted Wei Yue all the way into the inner city.

It wasn't until the heavy gate slowly closed, the drawbridge hung high, and on the high walls of the inner city, the guards and pro-soldiers also held forced bows and crossbows, boiled boiling oil, and prepared rolling wood and boulders to defend against the continued attack of the Chu army, at this time, everyone breathed a long sigh of relief.

At the very least, retreating here will give them a chance to take a break.

But the destruction of the city shocked them too much, and these civil officials are still weak-legged.

"Your Majesty, are you feeling better?" fled all the way to the inner city, and Wei Yue, who was still awake just now, fainted again.

Several civil officials, who were already six gods and no masters, even turned pale.

"Hurry, hurry, Your Majesty's situation, don't move lightly, go and call the military doctor!" At this time, someone was still calmer, knowing that he turned around and shouted to the guards.

Because Wei Yue is quite suspicious, in the Jinling Palace, there is no royal doctor, usually there is a headache and brain fever, often looking for military doctors, these people whether they are born or loyal, let Wei Yue feel more at ease, now that this situation has happened, the first reaction of the civil officials is to let people call the military doctor over.

"My lord, several military doctors often summoned by His Majesty are in the outer city at this time, and only one military doctor is still there, you can see ......" A guard in charge of the defense of the inner city was called over, and after listening, he said helplessly.

"Then call the military doctors who are still there, they are still verbose at this time! If something really happens to Your Majesty, everyone here will be wiped out! Don't go quickly!" the official said angrily.

"Yes, yes! I'll send someone to call him!" After being reprimanded, the guard pro-military lieutenant turned around and went to call someone.

He had already carefully moved Wei Yue into a carriage to shield himself from the cold wind outside.

"My lords, what do you say about it so far?" asked an official with a pale face, arching his hand around and whispering.

"Master Li, what can we do now? What else can we do? Leave it to fate!"

"Hey, we are powerless, once the inner city is broken by the Chu army, we can only die......"

Speaking of which, seeing that there was no one left and right, Wei Yue was in a coma again, and several civil officials got together and began to discuss.

At this time, the weather was extremely cold, the snow had frozen a few days ago, and the road was full of human footprints and hoof prints, and when the cold wind blew, several officials were colorless.

"It's better for me to surrender to the King of Chu and ask the King of Chu to spare His Majesty's life, which can be regarded as fulfilling my duty as a minister......" They whispered quietly, but they did not appear, Wei Yue, who had been unconscious in the carriage, had woken up at this time, and happened to hear their whispers, his face turned pale with anger, and all of a sudden, he fainted again.

Several officials discussed it, and they all thought that persuading His Majesty to surrender to the king of Chu was the way out.

Because of the palace ban, and because of the fact that it cannot be moved lightly, these officials only dared to temporarily send Wei Yue to a meeting hall in the outer palace, and they carefully helped Wei Yue out of the carriage, carried him into the hall, and temporarily placed him in the dragon chair, and at this time Wei Yue had woken up again.

"Your Majesty, how are you feeling? The military doctor will be here soon!" Seeing that Wei Yue was awake, an official was busy talking.

Wei Yue shook his head, took a breath with some difficulty, looked at the few officials in front of him with a complicated expression, and asked, "I'm fine, what's the situation outside?"

Several civil officials who retreated to the inner city with him were just holding on at this time, and when they heard Wei Yue ask about the situation outside, they all turned pale.

Several people glanced at each other, and one of them stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, now that the Chu army has attacked Jinling City, except for this inner city, there are Chu troops almost everywhere, and there are soldiers fighting back, but in the end, the Chu army has a large number of people......

The latter words were no longer able to continue, just because Wei Yue, who was opposite them, was already pale.

Wei Yueyuan opened his tiger eyes, and he was still a little incredulous about this situation, and after a while, he exhaled: "Cheng Youye, what a thief!"

Even when he was in a desperate situation, he still did not change his majesty.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty is angry, please take care of your body!" Seeing Wei Yue's eyes wide, the frightened officials hurriedly persuaded them.

Wei Yue looked at them fixedly for a while, and suddenly sneered: "At this time, do you think that there will be a miracle?"

"Your Majesty......" heard the faint coldness in Wei Yue's tone, and the few people standing in front of him all trembled, and a not very good feeling suddenly surfaced in their hearts.

"When you were conferred an official, you seemed to have said that you would be a fool of me, right?" Wei Yue looked at them with a smile: "Now, I have fulfilled the loyalty you are waiting for...... Someone!"

With his shouting, even at this time, a group of guards came in and knelt on the ground: "What does Your Majesty command?"

"Drag them down...... Give them a ...... death," Wei Yue pointed to a few people next to him and said lightly.

"No!" After receiving the order, the group of guards immediately dragged the group of people out and walked out.

"Your Majesty spares your life!"

"Your Majesty......"

Several civil servants struggled, not understanding what was wrong.

"I just want to tell you what is the duty of a minister!" Wei Yue said coldly.

Hearing this, these officials almost collapsed on the ground, knowing that their previous discussion was heard by Wei Yue.

Some people remembered that they had made meritorious contributions to Wei Yue, and shouted for mercy.

Wei Yue looked at it coldly, not wavering at all.

After a while, the screaming faded away, and silence returned to the hall.

Sitting alone on the dragon chair, looking at everything in the hall, the faint sound of siege outside made Wei Yue expressionless, just listening.

In this life, the scenes he has experienced flashed in his mind one by one, and with a gentle sigh, Wei Yue stood up.

Walking slowly in the hall, looking around, these are the furnishings that he had prepared before he ascended the throne, but he didn't expect it to fall into the hands of others soon...... No, how can what belongs to him fall into the hands of others?

"Someone!" he shouted outside again.

The guards came in again, waiting for orders.

Wei Yue pointed to the things in the hall and ordered: "Smash all of these!

"Your Majesty......"

"Smash!"

"No!"

At the sound of an order, a large group of guards came in and began to smash in the hall, and for a time there was a sound in the outer hall.

Wei Yue walked slowly towards the inner palace, in the inner palace, there are a few of his relatives, his wife died of illness last year, the back position has been vacant, more than a dozen concubines are still there, and all of them are like flowers and jade, how can these people fall into the hands of Wang Hongyi?

Defeat is defeat, if even after death, these women drag down their reputation, and he will not be at ease under Jiuquan!

Along the way, the scenery on the road is still beautiful, but people are panicking.

At this time, the news of the defeat of the city had already reached the palace, and the concubines were already frightened.

Other slaves and maids can still have a way to live after the city is broken, but as Wei Yue's wife and concubine, what will happen to them?

For a while, there was already a cry in the inner palace, and after a while, two concubines had committed suicide by hanging beams.

These two are concubines who have been with Wei Yue in the early years, so they naturally know Wei Yue's temperament quite well, and they know that at this time, even Wang Hongyi can spare their lives, and Wei Yue will never let them live and insult the Wei family!

Walking in such an inner palace, Wei Yue's face was expressionless, and the long sword in his hand was even more faintly shaking with his hand.

If a person is not a plant or a tree, how can he be ruthless, no matter what happens, he is still a human being.

At this moment, in a palace affair in the distance, a woman holding a brocade cloth package passed through the flower forest, Wei Yue looked at it fixedly, and immediately followed with a cold face.

Farther away, Xun Yu walked along, followed by Gao Ye, followed by several eunuchs, carrying a huge coffin carved with mysterious patterns.

"Have you found the Emperor?"

"My lord, we can find it soon. Gao Ye said.

Hearing this, Xun Gong came back, looked at the giant coffin, and smiled coldly.

Whoever inherits the Mandate of Heaven ends with the Mandate of Heaven in the ground, or waits for the corpse to decompose, but as long as it does not enter the earth, or has not yet decayed, it means that the Mandate of Heaven has not completely ended.

As long as Wei Yue can be killed, and the coffin can be made by secret law, so that it will not be corrupted, a part of the destiny of heaven can be retained.

This power is not strong for the country, but if it is for the individual, it can be sustained against a large degree of fate and heavenly punishment. Ro
