Chapter 191: Suppressing the Rebels

Jiang Jiao screamed Jiang Yang's name and suddenly woke up from the nightmare. She looked around with wide eyes and found herself in an unfamiliar bedroom.

At this moment, Ling Chen happened to walk in. When he saw Jiang Jiao waking up, he quickly poured her a cup of warm water and handed it to her, and said softly, "Don't worry, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is safe and sound. He is resting in the next room. Come, drink some water to calm yourself down."

Jiang Jiao looked at Ling Chen gratefully, stretched out her trembling hands to take the cup of water, and then drank it all. When she learned that Jiang Yang was safe and sound, the huge rock hanging in her heart finally fell to the ground, and she relaxed.

However, when she saw Ling Chen's concerned eyes and figure, Jiang Jiao's eyes couldn't help but moisten slightly. Along the way, they had gone through countless hardships.

At this moment, all her emotions seemed to have found an outlet. She couldn't help but stretch out her arms, hugged Ling Chen's waist tightly, and burst into tears.

Ling Chen stood there silently, patting Jiang Jiao's back gently, allowing her to release the pain and pressure in her heart. He knew that this period of time was extremely difficult for Jiang Jiao, but she always stood strong.

Now, let her cry for a while, and let all the grievances and fears flow out in tears...

When Jiang Jiao had cried enough, she gently wiped the tears from her cheeks with her hands, then raised her head and asked with a firm look in her eyes: "Where is General Jing Yan? I have to go find him now."

Ling Chen naturally understood what she was thinking, so he comforted her softly, "Don't worry, Your Highness, General Jing Yan has already left for the palace to rescue you."

Hearing this news, Jiang Jiao was extremely anxious. She couldn't wait to get out of bed and chase after him. "No, I must catch up with General Jing Yan and go with him to save my father and mother!" Her voice was filled with anxiety and determination.

Ling Chen quickly reached out to hold her back, fearing that her injury would get worse because of her impulsiveness. "You are still injured, it is really not suitable for you to run around like this. You should have a good rest for a day first..." He persuaded earnestly, trying to calm Jiang Jiao down.

After some persuasion, Jiang Jiao was finally convinced and slowly sat back on the bed, but her eyes were still full of worry and concern.

On the other side, General Jing Yan sat in the tent with a solemn expression, his eyes firm and sharp.

He held a pen in his hand, the tip of the pen was as sharp as a sword, the ink was as red as blood. In front of him, there were sheets of pure white rice paper, which were the manifestos he issued to the world to fight against the enemy.

General Jing Yan took a deep breath and began to write quickly. His strokes were strong and powerful, and every word was as hard as steel.

He used passionate words to denounce the crimes of the traitors and expose their conspiracy and cruelty.

A letter to the governors of all states: The traitor Jiang Gao has joined forces with foreign enemies to steal the country. I hope the governors of all states will help each other and come to Beijing to rescue the emperor, defend the country, and save the country from danger.

One after another, General Jing Yan had written thirty-six consecutive letters to attack the rebels. These letters were sent to the governors of various states at full speed. For a time, the whole country was in a tense atmosphere.

After receiving the letter, the governors of various states were shocked. They felt the urgency and danger of the situation and understood the great responsibility they shouldered.

So, the governors of each state acted without hesitation. They quickly assembled their troops and prepared to march. The soldiers were in high spirits and full of fighting spirit. With their loyalty to the country and pursuit of justice, they were ready to rush to the battlefield to fight against the rebels.

They were going to rescue the emperor and defend the dignity and honor of the country.

unfortunately

It's too late

"Your Majesty, the city has been out of food for three days!" A general reported to the emperor with a pale face. At this time, the enemy outside the city was eyeing the city covetously, and the soldiers and civilians in the city were already starving.

Over the past month or so, they have been resisting tenaciously, but facing the enemy's siege, their food and grass supplies have gradually dried up. Now, they have reached the end of their rope.

The emperor frowned, his heart filled with anxiety and helplessness. He knew that if he didn't find a way to solve the food problem, the city would not be able to hold on any longer. Once the city was broken, the people would suffer.

However, at this difficult moment, the emperor made a shocking decision.

The emperor ordered with a determined look on his face: "Xiao Anzi, draft an edict immediately! The 20th emperor of Dayu Kingdom, Jiang Cheng, passed away in the 239th year of Dayu calendar..."

Hearing this, Xiao Anzi was so shocked that his eyes widened. He immediately knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, you must not do this! Please think twice..."

Xiao Anzi was extremely worried and couldn't stop crying. At this moment, the queen also came in.

Xiao Anzi quickly grabbed the corner of the queen's clothes and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, please persuade His Majesty! His Majesty, he wants..." Before she finished speaking, Xiao Anzi burst into tears.

The queen looked at the emperor, her eyes full of grief and determination. She sighed softly, then said to the emperor firmly: "I understand your intentions. If so, I am willing to go with you to the ends of the earth."

The emperor looked at his beloved wife's face and couldn't help but burst into tears. He smiled bitterly and said, "You are still so stupid..."

He knew that as the king of a country, he shouldered the heavy responsibility of protecting his people. But at this critical moment of life and death, he had to make such a difficult choice.

Although his wife was very reluctant, she still understood and supported his decision. After so many years of love, they knew each other and stayed together, so there was no need to say more at this moment.

If he gave up resistance, announced his own death, and opened the city gate, he might be able to arouse the enemy's sympathy. After all, they were all citizens of Dayu, and he believed that his brother would not kill innocent people.

Thinking of this, the emperor's eyes became firm. He decided to personally draft an imperial edict to convey his decision to the enemy outside the city. Although it meant that he would lose everything, he was willing to pay the price to save the city and the people in it.

The emperor silently picked up the pen and began to write his last will. He wrote every word with trembling hands, and between the lines revealed his deep attachment to the country and the people. This obituary is not just a statement, but also his promise to the people of the world.

When the emperor finished the obituary, he summoned his ministers.

In the main hall

He stood up and glanced at the ministers and generals around him. His voice was full of tragedy and solemnity: "I will sacrifice my life for my country, and I hope this will bring peace to the people. Please protect this city and keep it from being ravaged by war."

Everyone looked solemn, with tears in their eyes. They understood His Majesty's intentions. But at the same time, they also felt extremely sad. At this critical moment of life and death, they could only silently support the emperor's choice.

next day

As the emperor's order was issued, the city gate slowly opened. The enemy troops outside the city looked at this scene in surprise. They had thought that they would encounter a fierce battle, but they did not expect it.

The emperor walked up to the tower with the queen. Their figures seemed so small and firm. Behind him were the people of the entire city, who silently watched this brave monarch, their hearts filled with gratitude and respect.

Then they hanged themselves on the city wall. The bell rang three times, echoing throughout Kyoto.

After Xiao Anzi gave instructions for his funeral arrangements, he also drank the poisoned wine: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, wait for your servant," and then he followed.

The people of the city spontaneously wore mourning clothes to mourn for their Majesty.

King Cheng received the obituary from the emperor and fell silent. His goal was achieved. But he could not laugh.

The people in the city were also saved. King Cheng stopped the Hu people who wanted to massacre the city. But he also paid a heavy price. He deserved this retribution for seeking the skin of a tiger.

But soon, King Cheng collapsed. After finally driving away those man-eating Hu people, he was faced with a large army attack. King Cheng was furious and deeply afraid.

The four words "unjust position" are enough to overturn his current achievements.
