300 Conquering the Ming Kingdom (2/2)

”Xuan Pei, do you think the rest of the soldiers can face off against the enemy?” Ming Gong asked again.

Truthfully, there was no way the Ming Kingdom could face them without any strong leader. The best armies in Ming Kingdom have switched their allegiance and attacked them instead. There was no way they could use the rest of the weaker soldiers to contend against the stronger ones. The fate of Ming Kingdom was already sealed.

”Unless the emperor has powerful army behind him, there is no way the situation can turn to his favor,” Xuan Pei answered.

Ming Gong didn't say anything as he walks to the palace. Looking at the tired father of his, he wondered when would be the time for him to stand at the top. But naturally, he didn't want to obtain the kingdom at such time.

”Father, the Nanglong family has reached the capital,” he said reporting the situation.

The emperor already knew about it. He stood up, ”Dismiss the court, everyone evacuate.”

Hearing it, the officials were stunned. Did it mean the emperor planned to give up the Ming Kingdom? The emperor did intend to give up the Ming Kingdom, but not his life. He no longer cared about the kingdom that previously belonged to him since he knew that there was no way for him to hold onto it.

That Nanglong family and Jun family, he should have killed their entire family and didn't allow anyone alive. However, at the same time he knew that should he do that, the military prowess of Ming Kingdom would be halved and during the collaboration battle, he would undoubtedly loss.

So, which would be better, losing to another kingdom or to his people?

He turned to Ming Gong, ”Time to go.”

Ming Gong nodded. Behind him, Xuan Pei followed quietly and the emperor didn't say anything. Getting down to the basement, they found the empress was already waiting there.

”Your Highness, everything is ready,” she said softly.

The emperor nodded and shifted his gaze towards the two people behind him, ”The Ming Kingdom is no more. It's time to go.”

”Does it mean that we will give up the Ming Kingdom just like that?” Ming Gong was still feeling indignant. He didn't want to leave the place where he was born and raised. He wanted to become the leader after his father and not become a runaway.

”There will come the day when we can return,” the emperor answered menacingly. He would not accept defeat. As the legitimate holder of the power, he would return.

With that, the emperor and the crown prince disappeared from Ming Kingdom along with the empress and the new prime minister. These four important people were no longer in the capital anymore.
