In a short time, many people gathered in the Daliang Imperial City!

The political situation was turbulent!

"Civil uprising! This is most likely a civil uprising!"

"Good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes alone!"

"Why does suffering always plague our Daliang country..."

In the court, several censors looked very sad.

Emperor Huo Xiao also sighed.

After a long period of war, taxes have risen again and again, and the people of the whole world are living in misery!

Even if a civil uprising occurs, it is understandable.

They can't survive, what else can they do if they don't rebel?

"All this is my fault..."

Huo Xiao's face was full of sorrow.

"Send troops immediately to suppress it. Remember, try not to hurt the people. After killing the rebel leaders, open the warehouses to release grain... They are all the people of Daliang, they... They are all forced to do it..."

After saying this, Huo Xiao seemed to have aged a little.

At this time, an old general suddenly stood up.

"You censors only know how to spread rumors to confuse the public. Do you know who they are? They keep talking about civil rebellion!"

The censors were a little confused by the old general.

What's going on? Are they wrong?

The old general said with red eyes: "Your Majesty, outside the imperial city, there are only old men in their 80s. In addition, there are some retired veterans with missing limbs."

"How could these people rebel? What do they have to rebel with!?"

The old general's words made Huo Xiao's heart skip a beat.

Old men in their 80s, retired veterans with missing limbs...

This doesn't look like a civil rebellion at all!

They have almost no fighting power!

"What are they...doing in the imperial city..."

The Minister of War stood up.

"The news that the feminine man wanted to sacrifice 100,000 people...has been leaked..."

"They should have come here to sacrifice voluntarily..."

Boom! !

It was like a thunderbolt in the blue sky, and all the civil and military officials were stunned on the spot!

Huo Xiao's eyes were red, and infinite sadness and anger surged in his heart.

He glared at the civil and military officials.

"Who leaked this news?!"

The feminine man has been living in the imperial city and has not made any moves. The news could not have been leaked by the other party.

Even if the other party leaked the news, he would not do it secretly, because he disdains it!

At this time, the Minister of Rites, who had been silent all the time, suddenly knelt down.

"Your Majesty, all this is done by me!"

"Your Majesty is unwilling to cede land, marry a princess, or sacrifice the people. This is the act of a wise monarch. I am honored for the people of the world!"

"However, our Daliang is in danger. If we want to survive this crisis, we must make a choice!"

"Your Majesty cannot be the bad guy, so I will be the bad guy and bear the eternal infamy!"

"In order to atone for my sins, when that person is ready to sacrifice a life, I am willing to be the first one!"

The voice fell.

The Minister of Rites kowtowed heavily!

Blood flowed along his eyebrows, instantly dyeing half of his face red!

This shows how much strength the Minister of Rites used!

There was no one beside the Minister of Rites, that is, he did not discuss the leak of the news with any official!

The kneeling man in the court was extremely lonely!

But he did not hesitate at all!

Although the crime was in the present, the merits will be passed down for thousands of years!

Civil and military officials, including the emperor Huo Xiao, were all moved.

"You..."

Huo Xiao was so angry that he couldn't even say a complete sentence in the end!

In the end, he could only sigh.

"No matter what, I will never let the people sacrifice."

"At least, it hasn't come to that step yet..."

...

What happened in the imperial city was not reported to the border.

The soldiers on the border had no time to care about anything else.

They could only raise all their spirits to fight the enemy and defend the city!

They hadn't received any support for such a long time. I think they had to rely on themselves for everything...

On the battlefield, the number of casualties increased.

Pingnan Wang Huo Yuan's complexion was getting worse!

Liu Yun and a group of generals didn't know how long General Huo Yuan could hold on...

The tonics he took didn't have time to settle, and his injuries couldn't get better at all!

"General Huo, you really need to take a good rest... If you don't rest, you might..."

"General Huo, you are the confidence of our Daliang army when you are alive, but if you die, the morale of our Daliang army will definitely be weakened. You really should take a good rest!"

Huo Yuan was silent for a while.

"What you said makes sense."

"Next time you go to the battlefield, add more defense around me, and those Daiyue people will not be able to harm me..."

"In addition, infuse my armor with gold and iron to support my body, which can also reduce some of my burden..."

Huo Yuan thought very clearly.

As the commander-in-chief of the three armies, he does not need to fight the enemy in person, but he needs to stand where most soldiers can see him.

His figure must be upright, without any hunchback!

It is more appropriate to make a fuss about the armor!

By then, even if he really dies, putting his body in the armor, his posture will still be upright and still be inspiring!

As long as those soldiers don't know that he has died in battle!

During this period, I will stay with Liu Yun and several generals to guard, and will not meet outsiders.

When I really die, I will not cause any unrest!

Liu Yun and several generals were a little choked up.

They have guessed Huo Yuan's plan.

No one hopes that day will come, but no one can stop it!

Just when Liu Yun and several generals were silent.

The horn of war sounded again, and the Daiyue army attacked again!

Huo Yuan took a deep breath and raised his spirits.

"Follow me and kill the enemy!"

Huo Yuan held the spear in one hand and strode out.

It seemed that except for the loss of an arm, there was nothing wrong with it, and he was still energetic!

But Liu Yun and several generals knew that this was just Huo Yuan pretending...

Liu Yun clenched his fists.

When he first came to the army, he just felt that King Pingnan had the same surname as his little master, and he had some good feelings for him.

But after a long time of contact, he found that this was a truly respectable person.

He didn't want to see such a person die so easily on the battlefield...

He looked up at the sky.

"Master... where are you? Save King Pingnan and save this broken country..."
