Chapter 927: Previous kings never abandoned me! I have treated Zuo Xiang badly for a long time!
Linzi Royal City, Ancestral Temple.
Qi Wangjian performed the sacrificial ceremony under the watchful eyes of the officials of Qi State, took off his crown and clothes, and placed the sacrificial jade on the wooden plate held by Hou Sheng.
Rubbing the big seal in his hand - the last object that could reveal his identity as King of Qi, King Qi Jian was reluctant to give up and his heart was filled with despair.
He has been living in poverty all his life! I have endured it for a lifetime!
The only time it broke out, it resulted in such a tragic ending!
How he wished that this moment could be slower, slower, or even turn into eternity!
Although he can no longer use this big seal to exercise the power of King Qi, he can at least look at this big seal to recall his past glory as King of Qi!
However, the continuous calls outside the ancestral temple repeatedly ruined Qi Wangjian's mood.
Qi Wangjian’s eyes were still firmly glued to the seal, and he asked in a cold and dissatisfied voice: “What’s the fuss outside!”
Chunyu Hu hurriedly ran outside the ancestral temple, and then rushed back to the ancestral temple at an even faster speed, shouting loudly: "Report to the king!" Chao! "
Qi State officials:! ! !
Qi Wangjian: (▽)
Qi Wangjian suddenly became energetic and asked loudly and excitedly: "The left prime minister returned to the court?!"
Although the coalition's combat power is weak and unable to stop Ying Chengyu from ordering the Earth Dragon to stand up, the coalition still has nearly a million troops!
That’s an army of nearly one million!
With nearly a million troops in hand, no matter how brave Ying Chengyu is, it is not easy to lead a hundred thousand Qin troops to escape and ascend to heaven, let alone break through Linzi City!
Surviving a desperate situation, King Jian of Qi laughed maniacally: "Hahaha!!!"
"Heaven will not help me in Daqi, and the earth will not bless me in Daqi, but our ancestors in Daqi have always But you protect me so much!”
"From now on, I will no longer believe in the so-called immortal gods!"
"After this battle, I will pay tribute to the ancestors of the past!"
Bow deeply to the tablets of the ancestors of the past. Holding his hands, Qi Wangjian shouted excitedly: "My dear friends, please go with us to welcome the left prime minister in triumph!"
While shouting, Qi Wangjian rushed out of the ancestral temple and ran towards the city wall with no shirt on.
However, the courtiers of Qi were not as optimistic as Wang Jian of Qi.
Tian He looked at Chunyu Hu and asked solemnly: "Which left prime minister are the officers and soldiers calling for?"
Chun Yuhu shook his head helplessly: "I don't know."
"It's just that our Linzi City has not yet received any military report that Zuo Xiang's troops intend to return, and the Linzi City scouts have not found any trace of Zuo Xiang's troops."
Chun Yuhu said he didn't know, but Just listening to Chunyu Hu's words, one knew that Chunyu Hu had already made a guess in his heart.
The Qin army outside the city did not block the gates of Linzi City, nor did they launch a siege of Linzi City. The messengers could move forward unimpeded.
But what about the messengers under Li Mu?
Li Mu was an excellent general. When he made important decisions such as leading his troops south to Linzi, it was impossible for him not to report to the kings of Dai and Qi.
It is even more impossible for Li Mu not to know that he should send messengers to notify the target being rescued before rushing for reinforcements, so as to boost the morale of the target being rescued and give the target being rescued a better chance of persisting until the reinforcements arrive.
The only reason why Linzi City has not yet seen Li Mu’s messenger troops is that Li Mu has not yet returned for reinforcements!
The internal historian Sun Ping sighed bitterly: "If the soldiers are not welcoming Zuo Xiangmu, they will only be Zuo Xiangcheng!"
"I never thought that before our imperial court in Da Qi issued an order to surrender, all the soldiers in the city had already asked to surrender!"
"I, Da Qi, will definitely be despised by future generations of gentlemen!"
< br>Listening to the bursts of cries, Sun Ping felt particularly ridiculed.
They were still in Wu Palace discussing whether to surrender, and many courtiers were still admonishing King Jian of Qi to fight resolutely.
But in fact, the soldiers had already made their decision with the guns in their hands!
Even if the monarchs and ministers of Da Qi still want to fight to the death, the soldiers of Da Qi will not die for them anymore!
There was a sigh in the ancestral temple.
Looking at Qi Wangjian's bare back from a distance, the sighs kept rising and falling.
Hou Sheng clenched the tray in his hand and shouted coldly: "Do you, my colleagues, want to be surrendered citizens, or prisoners of the defeated army?!"
He glanced at the courtiers in the hall, Hou Sheng held the tray firmly and chased after Qi Wangjian.
After hearing Hou Sheng's reminder, Sun Ping and other court officials quickly restrained their complicated emotions and followed Hou Sheng's footsteps.
Seeing that most of the courtiers were running towards the city wall in a hurry, Tian He lamented sadly: "If our ancestors in Qi Dynasty saw the scene today, they would all cover their faces with their sleeves!"
Swing! With big sleeves, Tian He strode out of the ancestral temple and shouted in a deep voice: "The king is cowardly now, the generals are avoiding the battle, and the soldiers are surrendering."
"We, the great state of Qi, shall die today!"
< br>"However, the former overlord An Neng died in such an embarrassing situation!"
"How can we, who have eaten enough millet in this world, be able to survive in the world after the collapse of the State of Qi?"
"Those who are willing to coexist with us, the State of Qi, will return to the government with me and organize the army!"
The faces of the Qi courtiers clearly showed signs of struggle. In the end, more than 20 courtiers including Chun Yuhu strode away in the opposite direction to the other ministers, with their chests raised and their heads raised!
"Left Prime Minister!"
Tian Dan was looking worriedly at the direction of the Qin army at the top of the city when he heard a familiar shout.
Tian Dan was startled, turned around in horror, and held his hands in the air: "Greetings to your Majesty!"
Tian Dan never expected that the Qin army would suddenly stop its momentum after he took the initiative to surrender. Qi Wangjian, who lives in Wu Palace, came here first!
With full of fear, Tian Dan raised his head slightly, wanting to observe Qi Wangjian's face first to decide how he would excuse himself next.
As a result, Tian Dan saw that Qi Wangjian was only wearing a linen undergarment, completely exposing his rich, fair, smooth upper body to the cold wind!
Under the cold wind, Qi Wangjian's upper body clearly had goosebumps, and was even a little red from the cold.
But Qi Wangjian's face was full of joy and excitement, and he shouted repeatedly: "My left prime minister is finally back in court!"
"I have taken all the treasures, and they should all be given to the left. I will reward you!”
“All the granaries, arsenals, and court officials of Da Qi can be dispatched by Zuo Xiang!”
“I am willing to use all the strength of Da Qi to support Zuo Xi in attacking Qin! To relieve the hatred in my heart!" Tian Dan:? ? ?
Your Majesty, is this... crazy?
Half-naked all the way to the crenellations of the city wall, Qi Wangjian held his hands on the crenels and looked around, but did not see the familiar flag.
"Left Prime Minister?"
A strong sense of panic suddenly struck his heart. Qi Wangjian looked around blankly. When he saw the familiar Tian Dan, he immediately became anxious. The voice asked: "Where is the left prime minister?!"
"Where is the left prime minister of me?!"
Tian Dan's disrespectful thoughts were instantly extinguished, replaced by intense tension and fear.
But now that the matter has come to this, what else can Tian Dan do?
Raising his trembling arms, Tian Dan pointed to the outside of the city and said, "Report to the king."
"Left Prime Minister, right there."
Qi Wangjian followed Tian Dan He looked at the hand gesture and said angrily: "I am the left prime minister of Daqi you are asking about!"
"The great banner that Aiqing refers to is the great banner of the Qin army!"
"Where is my left prime minister?!"
Tian Dan said in a low voice: "I don't know what the current government is. Where is the Prime Minister Zuo?"
Qi Wang Jianwei was startled: "The people in the city heard the shouts of greeting the Prime Minister Zuo being very loud."
"How could Aiqing not know the Prime Minister Zuo. Where are you? ”
But as soon as the question was asked, Qi Wangjian caught the key words in Tian Dan's words.
Be the left prime minister!
Qi Wangjian's pupils suddenly shrank, his eyes were fixed on Tian Dan and he asked: "You don't know where the left prime minister is."
"Then what you just welcomed? The left prime minister, which dynasty is it?”
Tian Dan closed his eyes, frowned, and shouted: “The soldiers are shouting to greet you, it’s the former left prime minister!”< br>
Wang Jian of Qi rushed towards Tian Dan, grabbed Tian Dan tightly by the lapels of his clothes and picked him up, roaring angrily: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
"Even if our Da Qi soldiers don't know Qin Changan You are no longer the left prime minister of Da Qi, but how can we, our Da Qi soldiers, not see clearly the flags of the Qin army, and not know that Da Qi is at war with Qin!”
“What’s wrong with our Da Qi soldiers? He might call the enemy’s coach the Prime Minister! Or even welcome the enemy’s Prime Minister back to the court!”
Looking at this scene, Gao Shuang secretly loosened his collar and took a few steps back silently.
Tian Dan said bitterly: "Your Majesty, people's hearts are like this!"
"The soldiers are all shouting like this, I can't control it at all!"
"And!"
Looking at King Jiang Jiang's naked upper body, Tian Dan felt something was wrong.
Being naked at the time of such bitter cold was obviously not because Qi Wangjian was panicking because of the heat, but because Qi Wangjian was already preparing to surrender!
Although I don’t want to fight to the death, my king, you surrendered first!
Tian Dan's voice was more confident and sincere: "Qin Chang'an Lord is a great witch who is loved by heaven and earth. What Qin Chang'an Lord does is really the intention of heaven and earth!"
"I, Da Qi Daitian Herdsmen As a king, since today the earth intends to hand over the power of herdsmen to Lord Qin Changan, how can we, Da Qi, go against heaven?"
"For me, the ancestors of Da Qi are not in Huangquan and are criticized by Houtu, I worship you? Please do what God wants!"
Qi Wangjian let go of Tian Dan's clothes and staggered towards the city wall.
The rough and hard city wall stacks scratched a red mark on Qi Wangjian's fair skin, but Qi Wangjian did not feel any pain, because his heart hurt even more!
"The soldiers are not welcoming Zuo Xiangmu, but Zuo Xiang Chengyu?!"
Qi Wangjian whispered sadly: "Zuo Xiang has not yet led his troops to return to the rescue, but our Daqi soldiers have already Please come down!”
“How miserable!”
The dream you just weaved is shattered!
In just half an hour, Qi Wangjian's heart went from panic to despair, from despair to ecstasy, and from ecstasy to despair again.
If it were not for the fact that Qi Wangjian was not yet old, the violent emotional changes in this short period of time would have been enough for Qi Wangjian to pass away!
"King!" Hou Sheng finally ran up the city wall.
Looking at Qi Wangjian who fell under the city wall, Hou Sheng hurriedly ran to Qi Wangjian's side and asked anxiously: "Your Majesty, are you okay?"
Qi Wangjian raised his head, He looked at Hou Sheng with sorrow in his eyes and asked: "Uncle!"
"The soldiers who respectfully greet the Zuo Prime Minister are not the Zuo Prime Minister of the Great Qi Dynasty, but the Lord Chang'an of Qin!"
Hou Sheng sighed softly, nodded and said: "I already know this."
"Your Majesty, now is not the time to think about these things, let alone be sad and depressed!"
Hou Sheng He said solemnly: "The soldiers have asked to surrender, and the situation is extremely unfavorable to the king!"
"If the Qin army enters the city before the king asks to surrender, the king will be a prisoner of defeat!"
< br>“Only if the king asks for surrender before the Qin army enters the city, can the king serve the people who ask for surrender!”
"Your Majesty, time is running out!"
Qi Wangjian came back to his senses, was horrified, and shouted angrily: "It's just that our soldiers failed to charge into battle and expand our territory for us."< br>
“Now I’m stabbing me in the back again!”
Getting up with difficulty, Qi Wangjian looked in the direction of the Qin army’s banner and shouted loudly:
“I am suffering from you. I’ve been waiting for you for a long time!”
"The left prime minister is finally here!"
