The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 729: Dog Emperor
Yun Jiao’s face changed as well, "What is the court planning?"
Lady Wu abruptly clenched her fists and stood up, "The Emperor, he, he passed the throne to the Crown Prince yesterday!"
Yun Jiao was taken aback, suddenly, something very familiar flashed through her mind.
But now she couldn’t distinguish these thoughts, continuing to listen to Lady Wu: "That’s not all; the Emperor—no, the former Emperor, after passing the throne planned to leave the Emperor to guard the city, while he escapes with a few underage Princes, Princesses, the Empress, and Concubines!"
"Currently, the former Emperor wants to flee, and all the civil and military officials don’t want to resist. They are all saying to negotiate peace, only the Duke and a few Forbidden Army generals, along with Minister Du, insist on fighting against the Jin Country’s army."
Yun Jiao exclaimed, "What happens if we don’t resist? Are we going to surrender directly?"
The enemy has yet to reach the city gates, but the former Emperor made the ridiculous move of passing the throne, and then plans to abandon all the people of the Capital City and leave, what a Dog Emperor.
Lady Wu was fuming, "The officials are now discussing who to send to negotiate peace with the Jin Country, but none of them have the guts, none dare to go."
Yun Jiao was equally furious, "Isn’t it said that the Capital City has three city walls, as solid as gold and broth, yet they don’t even plan to try?"
Lady Wu sneered, "The Emperor is weak by nature, and now these court officials, all resemble the Emperor in this respect."
Yun Jiao looked at Ruru still crawling on the ground, then thought about Mrs. Chen’s sixth son and third daughter, and her own father and brother, such a large family, with the old and the young, if the Capital City was breached by the Jin Country, there is no assurance against plunder and massacre; what could be done then?
Even if the Duke and Lady Wu possess skills, their power is insignificant against the vast army.
Yun Jiao didn’t know what else she could do other than prepare some survival supplies.
Lady Wu held Yun Jiao’s hand, "Jiao Jiao, the Duke advocates for war in the court, at this time, we as the people of the Duke Mansion cannot leave."
"If we leave, let alone the officials or the common people, will be even less driven to resist the Jin army."
Yun Jiao slowly nodded, "I understand."
After accompanying Lady Wu for dinner, Yun Jiao returned to her room worriedly.
Returning to her room, she calculated that today should be the day to receive Jiang Youzhi’s letter, but she hadn’t received any letter today.
It was heard that the city gates were closed, perhaps because of that, the letter couldn’t be delivered.
Early the next morning, after paying respects to Lady Wu, Yun Jiao went to Renxin Hall.
Riding a carriage through the street, Yun Jiao lifted the curtain to look, clearly noticing that there was a trace of fear on the faces of the pedestrians.
Arriving at Renxin Hall, Yun Jiao pulled her father into the backyard, "Father, these days, don’t sell medicines like White Medicine, injury oil, and Huo Shui, in case the Jin people invade, we might not even have enough for ourselves."
Gu Yuheng nodded solemnly, "Did you hear any news at the Duke Mansion?"
Yun Jiao sighed, "The Emperor has passed the throne to the Crown Prince, as you know."
Gu Yuheng nodded, "I heard the cannon salute, and saw the proclamation posted."
Yun Jiao nodded, "It’s said the former Emperor quietly ran away last night with his sons, daughters, the Empress, and Concubines through the south city gate."
"Currently, the Emperor is inside the palace, the Duke repeatedly petitions the Emperor not to give up on resisting. The Emperor has already appointed the Duke as the Great General, to preside over the war." This was all the news she received from Lady Wu this morning.
