Yan Yunshuo stared at her tall and slender figure, an ominous premonition suddenly came to his mind, and he felt that he had made a wrong decision again.

The hall was horribly depressing, and the wind blowing through the treetops seemed to carry a gloomy, deathly aura from the sky.

He turned his head and looked out the window at the dark night, gently closing his eyes: "The British concubine goes to war, how long do you think she can last?"

There was silence in the hall, and then the old prime minister guessed: "Three days should be fine, right?"

"I feel that with Concubine Ying's ability, she can last for half a month."

"Your Majesty, there are not enough troops in the imperial city. Even if the Ying Concubine is talented, she can only try her best to delay it for a while. The most urgent thing is that the Emperor should leave the place of right and wrong as soon as possible." The old prime minister knelt down to persuade him earnestly, "The Yongguo army is tough. , once the city is breached, they will definitely burn, kill, and plunder, and the concubines and princesses in the palace will become their slaves. Your Majesty, please take your empress, princes and princesses and leave first. I will wait for you later——"

"Do you want me to leave, or are you impatient to escape?" Yan Yunshuo looked at the kneeling minister coldly, his eyes gloomy and solemn, "The country is my country, I am not afraid of it, what are you afraid of? Even if you are going to die, you are still alive. If I die first, what else are you dissatisfied with?"

"emperor--"

"It is your honor to die with me." Yan Yunshuo said in a sinister voice, "Don't you always say that you are loyal? This time I want to see who is truly loyal!"

The ministers suddenly lost their voices, and they all looked like vegetables and did not dare to say anything more.

Yan Yunshuo sat on the dragon chair, looking coldly at the group of ministers who were greedy for life and afraid of death, but he thought of the dead person for no reason.

If you ask him, is he afraid of death?

Yan Yunshuo can now say firmly that he is not afraid. He is indeed not afraid of death. He has experienced life and death countless times since he was a child. Every time he stepped into the gate of hell, he was lucky enough to save his life, so he is profound. Understand the importance of power.

In this palace, the emperor is the one who dominates everything. His only goal in life is to climb onto the dragon throne and become the most noble man in the world.

Later he got his wish.

Seeing the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty prostrating at his feet, he knew that he had no regrets in this life. He ruled Nan Zhao and held the power of life and death in the world. Who else could threaten his position?

But the Nanzhao border was always uneasy, and there were wars every year, and all the generals available in the court died on the battlefield one by one.

Yan Yunshuo once felt that if the old didn't go away and the new didn't come, there would always be new generals in the court who could replace the dead ones. What he was most passionate about doing every year was to hold a martial arts competition to select men who were superior in martial arts and strategy and appoint them. Be a general.

In this way, they can prevent them from relying on their own troops and threatening the imperial power.

But those generals were so useless that they almost never won a battle. In the end, Princess Zhaohua protected the border for seven years.

But Princess Zhaohua is too dazzling.

On the day of the victory, the people all over the city were cheering and kneeling to welcome her, and kept shouting: "The eldest princess is a thousand years old!"

The sound of firecrackers echoed through the sky.

Yan Yunshuo felt that such a huge and exciting battle had never happened before when he ascended the throne, and the dense army behind Princess Zhaohua, the uniform pace, and the respectful and awe-inspiring body gave him an uncontrollable sense of crisis.

There has never been a precedent for a woman to ascend the throne in Nan Zhao, but this does not mean that women have no ambitions. If the eldest princess Zhaohua respects herself with soldiers, if the eldest princess Zhaohua feels that she can lead the army and govern the world, even if she has no ambitions , but if the generals under her command instigate her to do something treacherous and unethical, they can do it with her military power.

Even if you are not the emperor, you don't have to take the emperor seriously.

This is something Yan Yunshuo will never tolerate.

What he wants is power, the supreme and exclusive power, the power to control life and death in the world.

He would never allow anyone to threaten his throne, and he could not tolerate even the slightest disrespect from anyone.

So Princess Zhaohua died.

Yan Yunshuo lowered his eyes and looked at his own hand. This was the hand that held the power of life and death. He personally caused the death of Princess Zhaohua and destroyed Nan Zhao's last hope.

But he doesn't feel that he is wrong. Since ancient times, generals who have made great achievements have not ended well. He is just repeating history. What is his mistake?

His only fault was that he did not select a general who was more suitable to lead the army. His fault was that Nanzhao's treasury was getting increasingly empty. His fault was that there was no one available in Nanzhao. They were all a bunch of waste!
