Chapter 1248: The Equally Unreconciled Xie Ming

"Marshal, what do we do!"

"What are we to do?"

The generals nearby were all driven mad with anxiety.

Meng Zan took a deep breath.

What to do?

How could he know what to do?

Once again, the assessment of the battle situation had been insufficient.

But now, they had been forced into a corner. With the matter blown up to such a scale, it was difficult to stop.

More importantly...

Clearly, in their view, Jinghua was teetering on the brink of collapse!

Every time they launched a general offensive, they were forced into a passive defense. It was just a hair's breadth away! Just a hair's breadth!

If it were just once, it would be one thing, but following it up so many times, always falling just short, was truly torturous. To be honest, this time Meng Zan, as Zhongxing Yue had guessed, had only come to Jinghua to go through the motions, but one could not help it when, every time one looked, there was an opportunity... At this moment, Jinghua was like a woman who played hard to get; when you intended to retreat, she would flirt and pose, but when you truly arrived by her side, she would coldly reject you.

What a heartless woman!

"Reorganize the formation, retreat for now!"

Meng Zan said fiercely.

"Yes!"

In truth, these generals of the Youzhou army felt the same way.

This time, they clearly could have achieved great things...

Yet, they were always missing that final step.

Returning to the camp tent.

Meng Zan began to ponder.

Jinghua, why would such a situation arise? Logically speaking, with their Youzhou rebellion, all the armies of the world should have come to serve the King... But now, clearly, they had not...

Could it be...

Something had gone wrong inside Jinghua?

As Meng Zan thought this, his eyes lit up.

That's right!

He seemed to have been ignoring one thing all along, and that was the Longyan Emperor!

When he had issued the Declaration of War, he had done so under the banner of serving the King!

The Emperor!

Xie Ming!

His eyes brightened.

He seemed to see a glimmer of victory.

Xie Ming, who had not appeared for a long time, was actually in a miserable state now.

He had been locked deep within the palace all along.

This was the constitutional monarchy the parliament had promised him.

Protecting the noble life of the royal family and his symbolic status. Thus, he and Dong Shuyu lived in luxury within the Imperial Palace, and the number of palace maids and eunuchs serving them was as high as it had ever been.

However.

Xie Ming was not happy.

He was still not happy!

Because Longyan was no longer his, no longer the Xie Family's!

Watching a group of palace maids before him who had just finished dancing a Court Grand Dance, he waved his hand irritably: "Get out, all of you get out, get out!"

This was the Golden Throne Hall.

In the past, this was the center of the highest power in Longyan.

During the daily morning court, the atmosphere here was solemn and dignified.

But now?

It had actually become a place for dancing girls to perform, a place for Xie Ming to drink and make merry!

"Your Majesty..."

Dong Shuyu, beside him, sighed.

But she did not know how to persuade her son.

Xie Ming looked over abruptly: "I am not reconciled, not reconciled! That Liu Zheng, the son of a merchant, by what right, by what right!"

Dong Shuyu was suddenly speechless.

Not reconciled?

What could being not reconciled achieve?

The situation in Longyan was already like this. Where would they, this orphan and widow, find the ability to turn the tide?

"My son... Longyan is finished!"

"Longyan is finished!"

The two held each other and wept bitterly.

The eunuch nearby coughed loudly several times.

A murderous intent flashed in Xie Ming's eyes instantly; he drew the sword at his side and chopped off the eunuch's head with a single strike!

Instantly, the head fell to the ground, and fresh blood spurted out.

Dong Shuyu was startled: "My son, you are..."

They all knew that this old eunuch had always been Liu Zheng's man, used to monitor them. But given Liu Zheng's current status in Longyan, they dared not offer even the slightest resistance! Now that this eunuch had been killed, this matter would...

Xie Ming was clearly drunk, and he laughed wildly: "Mother Empress, living like this, what kind of life is it? Better to rebel against him!"

Rebel?

Dong Shuyu shook her head with a bitter smile.

How to rebel?

An emperor rebelling? In the history of Longyan, there had never been such a thing. Come to think of it, it was truly somewhat ironic.

"Silly son, how to rebel?"

It was just that, in the current situation, Dong Shuyu also knew that wanting to re-establish imperial power was harder than ascending to heaven, and it was almost impossible.

Xie Ming's eyes lit up: "Mother Empress, I heard that the Youzhou army has issued a Declaration of War, informing the world that they will come to support the King! This is a good thing!"

Dong Shuyu shook her head: "My son, the mere two hundred thousand troops of Youzhou, even if they come to support the King, what can they do..."

"You mean..."

Suddenly, Dong Shuyu's delicate body trembled, and she looked at her son in disbelief.

Xie Ming took a deep breath, nodded heavily, his eyes full of excitement: "That's right! Since there is one Youzhou in the whole world that dares to come and support the King and oppose Liu Zheng! Then there can be more Feudatory Kings coming to protect us! Mother Empress, they still hope for an emperor, it must be so!"

Dong Shuyu immediately fell into silence.

Everyone knew that the Youzhou army had been attacking Jinghua these past few days. The eunuchs and palace maids in the palace all knew. The strangest thing was that as the Youzhou army attacked all the way here, there were surprisingly few troops to obstruct them. This was a bit awkward and baffling...

Didn't people say that all the Feudatory Kings in the world listened to Liu Zheng?

Now it seems!

Clearly not!

Liu Zheng is not the only one who has the final say!

In this way, Xie Ming had hope!

"No, I must inform the world of my situation!"

"Inform the world!"

The more Xie Ming thought about it, the more excited he became. If the whole world knew that he was "suffering" here, there would surely be more "loyal ministers" like those in Youzhou to protect him and rescue him!

"But, my son, in the current situation..."

Dong Shuyu said with difficulty: "We have no Method to inform the world at all..."

Xie Ming laughed heartily: "Mother Empress, this is the reason why I killed that old bastard! I intend to use a trick of the 'Imperial Edict of the Sash'!"

Imperial Edict of the Sash?

Dong Shuyu's eyes lit up.

Her own son was truly too clever!

Playing it this way was completely feasible!

Soon, Dong Shuyu found a palace maid she trusted, and Xie Ming personally wrote a letter to inform the world in a sweeping manner. In this letter, he bitterly complained about the treatment he had received in the deep palace and Liu Zheng's ambition to seize imperial power, weeping bitterly with brilliant literary talent.

And don't say otherwise.

Xie Ming had followed the Imperial Tutor since he was young, so there was no problem with his literary talent.

He wrote ten copies at once.

Dong Shuyu also found ten palace maids who had been loyal to her in the past.

The first target was Meng Zan, who was outside the city at this time.

Xie Ming had to make Meng Zan's siege legitimate! Only then would the entire Jinghua fall into chaos! He could then win through the chaos!
