Chapter 480 The troops are approaching the city
When Yuwen Xiao arrived at the imperial study, Emperor Liang had already smashed all the objects in the room.

He did not allow Eunuch Li to order his servants to clean up the mess on the ground.

Seeing Yuwen Xiao coming in, he just snorted coldly, "You useless thing, you actually stood on the same front with those rats in the court to fight against me?! Do you still remember that you are my son? I really misjudged you!"

"Didn't Your Majesty know long ago that I had no future, so he made me the Crown Prince?" Yuwen Xiao suddenly said this.

Emperor Liang was shocked. "What are you talking about?"

"Father chose me as the crown prince because I am incompetent and wanted to see what my second brother's attitude was."

Yuwen Xiao's words were particularly sad, even full of grievance, "You also want to see how the court officials will react if you make a loser the crown prince. Will they dare to disobey your will? Isn't that the case?"

"How dare you!" Emperor Liang roared, and even the broken porcelain pieces on the table trembled.

Yuwen Xiao was rarely tough, he looked up at Emperor Liang, "Father is so angry because I was right, but have you ever thought that I am also a human being, I really don't want to be the crown prince!"

"I'm honoring you, but you don't know how to appreciate it? Don't tell me you're reluctant at this moment. You were born in this royal family, so you have to shoulder the responsibility of being a royal heir. You can show off in front of everyone and enjoy their praise. But you must help me in times of crisis!"

"How dare you shamelessly call yourself incompetent? Are you so spineless? Could it be that your incompetence is an excuse?!"

"But I have been told since I was young to obey the orders of the crown prince and the teachings of my second brother. From childhood to adulthood, I have never heard you say that I should be upright. Is this also my fault?" Yuwen Xiao's voice was choked. He really didn't understand!
Emperor Liang felt a tightness in his chest. He raised his hand and wanted to hit Yuwen Xiao, but he couldn't bring himself to do it.

Because he saw the helplessness, ignorance and innocence in Yuwen Xiao's eyes.

"I never thought that things would come to this point today... I never thought that I would raise such a son without ambition." He had been enduring and accumulating ambitions because all his sons were suppressing their ambitions.

However, I didn't expect that Yuwen Xiao and Yuwen Qian were really incompetent and they really couldn't shoulder the heavy burden.

This is the greatest shame in the eyes of Emperor Liang!

Yuwen Xiao knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face, "Father, I really don't have the ability to do this. Please let me go!"

"It's my fault, it's all my fault!" Emperor Liang coughed violently, scaring Eunuch Li so much that he didn't dare to pretend to be dead and hurried forward to offer him tea.

Emperor Liang took two gulps, but found that what he was drinking was still the Northern Dynasty tea buds that Ye Qingyou brought in.

"I thought you were all Yan'er, but unfortunately, there is only one Yan'er..."

"Your Majesty!" An urgent report came from outside, "Second Prince, no, it's the rebel Yuwen Xin who has captured Xincheng. Huang Ying led his troops to surrender and served under the rebel. Now the rebels are heading straight for the capital and are expected to arrive in three days."

"!!!"

Emperor Liang's eyes went dark, and his voice trembled, "Huang Ying, he actually surrendered?"

He is the son of the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, and also a hereditary noble family!
"How could he surrender? His 30,000 soldiers were no match for Yuwen Xin's surprise attack army?"

Yuwen Xiao bit his lip and almost said out loud what he was complaining about.

How can this be said that they cannot fight? This is because they simply do not want to fight!

Including those in the court, everyone has realized that Emperor Liang is no longer worthy of being an emperor, and the crown prince he chose is unable to govern Daliang well.

They deliberately gave up resistance in the hope of getting a new king.

But no one dared to tell the truth to Emperor Liang, otherwise their head would be chopped off immediately!
But even if no one said it, how could Emperor Liang not have thought of it?

Before he could tremble and say something, another urgent report came, "Your Majesty! The rebels have occupied another city, and General Zhong Lu has also led his troops to surrender..."

There was a "bang" sound.

Emperor Liang’s eyes went dark and he was stunned.

Yuwen Xiao was so frightened that he immediately stepped forward and hurriedly summoned the imperial physician.

At this time, Yuwen Xin, who had successfully attacked the city, was also very pleased with himself and laughed arrogantly. He looked at the generals who had surrendered and toasted them with huge bowls of wine.

"...In less than three days, the world of Daliang will belong to me, and the throne in the palace will also belong to me."

"Anyone who submits to this king will be promoted to the rank of duke, marquis or earl."

"As the blood of Daliang, I still cherish all the good generals. Unfortunately, my father is short-sighted and chose such a loser to live in the East Palace. How can I tolerate this?"

"The day of triumph is the day when you will all be honored. This wine today is my gift. I hope you will accept it!"

He picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

But Zhong Lu, Huang Ying and others looked at each other in confusion.

"Second Prince, didn't you say that His Majesty was coerced and deceived, and that it would be better to just replace the head of the East Palace?" Huang Ying asked first, "After you enter the capital, do you plan to sit on the throne directly?"

When Yuwen Xin was trying to persuade the enemy to surrender, he did not say that he would become the emperor directly, he only said that he would replace the master of the Eastern Palace.

Yuwen Xin's hands froze for a moment, and he laughed foolishly, "My father is no longer in good health. Wouldn't it be better for me to ascend the throne and govern the country earlier?"

"But, but His Majesty is still alive!" Zhong Lu said frankly that there has never been an example in Daliang where a new emperor was replaced while the current emperor was still alive.

Yu Wenxin looked rather dissatisfied, "General Zhong, do you think that I am unworthy?"

"No, I just feel that since His Majesty is still alive, it would be against etiquette for Your Highness to forcibly succeed to the throne. We need to further consider this matter." Zhong Lu said hurriedly.

"I think my father is confused and no longer capable of governing Daliang." Yuwen Xin's tone was full of threats. "General Zhong is good at fighting and is a good fighter, but a good general should not be confined to the ancestral etiquette and laws, but should judge the situation."

"So, Your Highness, this is usurping the throne, not exterminating the traitors." Zhong Lu also became reckless, "If Your Highness insists on doing this, I'm sorry that I cannot agree with it!"

He bowed, then turned and left.

Yuwen Xin suddenly drew out a long knife and stabbed it straight into Zhong Lu's back!

Kill with one knife.

Zhong Lu was dumbfounded and turned around to look at him tremblingly.

Yuwen Xin's eyes were like those of a wolf, sweeping over everyone in the tent. "This king is devoted to Daliang. For the sake of the people of Daliang to live and work in peace and contentment, I will not tolerate any romantic feelings."

"Those who follow me will be rewarded generously by me, and I will never neglect them. But those who disobey me, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

After he said this, no one dared to speak anymore.

Huang Ying reached out and touched Cheng Lu's eyes, feeling deeply regretful.

He was indignant at Emperor Liang's tyranny and willfulness, but he was even more disdainful of Yuwen Xin's arrogance and arrogance.

If Daliang falls into the hands of such people, the people will not have an easy life!

Among all the princes of Daliang, only Yuwen Yan is an outstanding person. Unfortunately, his mother is actually the eldest princess of Yan State, and his bloodline is not pure!
Is Daliang going to perish like this?

There is no future?

"Report!"

"The princes' squad is missing, and there is no news from the cavalry regiment!"

"The baggage was robbed and all the food and fodder was lost! The follow-up supply was completely cut off."

"We're surrounded!"

"Surrounded!"
