Chapter 898 The prosperity is always like a dream

The king and the queen stayed in the temple for less than ten days before Angkor Thom was captured.

At this time, the Siam army had been besieging Angkor Thom for several days.

Due to the lack of troops in Angkor Thom and the king took away a large number of elite guards, the Siamese finally found a thin loophole in the defenders on the wall of Angkor Thom. Just late last night, the Siamese sent warriors to sneak up on the wall, and the situation became out of control.

After the Siamese warriors raided at night and captured a city gate and a large number of troops rushed into the city, the defense of the royal city completely collapsed like a river dam breaking.

Upon hearing the news, Queen Isuva hurriedly climbed to the top of a Sutra Tower in Angkor Wat, located at the northwest corner of the first floor corridor.

She was immediately shocked by the scene in front of her and was fixed on the stone wall.

A raging fire has been lit in the royal city in the north; even if it is still a distance from the royal city, the screams and noises in the city can be heard.

In addition, fires were everywhere outside the city, illuminating the sky.

Angkor Thom is the capital of Zhenla Kingdom. There are many people living nearby, and the villages are much denser than elsewhere. After countless houses were lit, the fires were shining and the formations were amazing.

What Isuva saw before her was a sea of ​​fire.

In the endless sea of ​​fire, people's shouts and screams were very tragic.Under the dark night, the earth seemed to have turned into eighteen levels of hell, filled with endless blood and fire.

The famous ancient royal city and the glorious land of the Zhenla Kingdom became like this overnight.

Isuva stared at the scene in the distance for a long time, unable to say anything.She seemed to have entered a state of meditation, but her deep eyes changed rapidly and subtly, as if all kinds of emotions were rolling in her eyes.

In the complex and unpredictable variety of expressions, there is a dreamy and inability to believe in reality from time to time.

Yes, who can believe that the long-lasting and powerful Zhenla Kingdom will suddenly change in the situation within more than two months and will fall rapidly overnight?

At some point, the Minister of the Palace Affairs Office had already stepped onto the roof of the Sutra Tower. Isuva had no idea when he was standing behind him, nor did she know how long the Minister of Palace Affairs had stood.

It is prosperous and prosperous, always like a dream.The Palace Minister sighed, as if this Angkor Wat, which took decades to build, is so deserted now.

Yisuwa's hands and feet were cold, and the consequences were a little beyond her ability to accept them.

For so long, she suddenly realized that she wanted to admit her mistake...but she couldn't speak.

What's more, even if she feels guilty and apologized, she should not show her presence in front of the Palace Minister.

The Minister of the Palace Affairs Office was also a little dazed. After a while, he looked suddenly awakened, clasped his hands together and bent down and said: Queen, it’s time for us to leave.The king sent his ministers to take the queen away from the place.

Yisuwa asked in a daze: Where to go?

The Palace Minister said: Phnom Penh City.Apart from that, are there any other places we can go to?

Yisuva asked casually without hesitation: Can she still get out of here?

The Minister of Palace Affairs replied: We should have time to discard most of the things and people and escape immediately.Most of the Siam army did not come. It seemed that they had not found that the king and queen were not in the royal city yet; at least they did not know that the king was in Angkor Wat.

So the royal family and the guards fled from Angkor Wat overnight, and the trip was very hasty.

Everything that Zhenla royal ancestors, who had been operating in Angkor Thom for at least hundreds of years, was almost lost tonight.

Escape like this will inevitably cause the strength of the Zhenla royal family to greatly damage the vitality...

However, the king and ministers and nobles finally saved their lives and came to the road to Phnom Penh in a hurry.

The urgent need they are facing is that Phnom Penh City may not be safe either.

At present, Zhen La Kingdom cannot gather enough troops for the time being, and the Siamese may take advantage of the victory to continue to march towards Phnom Penh City; when the Ming fleet turns around, it is easy to threaten Phnom Penh City, and their fleet can drive straight into the Mekong River.

There is no one on the water who can block the Ming Navy.

It was proposed to immediately surrender to the Ming people and seek help from the Ming Dynasty, which became the mainstream political views of the king's ministers in front of the king.

Isuva no longer mentioned Ann's head problem.

But the matter has reached its current point and cannot be easily settled.

First of all, after the ministers and nobles proposed to abolish it, they blamed Isuwa for everything, believing that she had controlled the national policy and led to the catastrophe of Zhenla Kingdom.

This time Isuva did not refute, and she even had nothing to say.

She seemed to understand some truth.

In the past, her only brother did something wrong. As a relative, she defended An En, thinking that it was just a human nature; but she felt that she was still thinking too simply.

The nobles didn't care about their family affection, and that little bit of personal affection could certainly not be compared with the disaster of Angkor Thom.

The main reason is that Yisuwa's family has been completely finished; the strength of the clan does not exist, so other ministers and nobles no longer need to be afraid of the queen.She didn't even have the power to protect herself, and she didn't want to take revenge.

After extreme grief and resentment, Isuva has now entered a state of despair and helplessness. She was too lazy to fight, she was the only one left in the family, so what else can I struggle with?

However, the king withstood the pressure from the nobles.He did not speak for Isuva, but he never nodded and deposed the queen.

Isuva casts gratitude to the king on the back of an elephant.She could feel that although King Benhaya was relatively silent, she always loved her very much.And Benhaya also has his own helplessness.

Just wait for two more days and wait until the team arrives at Phnom Penh City, it will be a little better.

There are also some army in Zhenla in Phnom Penh City, and most of the local nobles and officials are still loyal to the king.

Once there are many forces on all sides, these nobles cannot act too recklessly at present.

Things were at the last moment, but they didn't go so smoothly.

The next day, I don’t know who incited it, but a mutiny occurred in the King’s Guard.

Many soldiers surrounded the king's guards, and their own soldiers fought and confronted each other with weapons.

The mutiny soldiers claimed that Isuva was guilty and was no longer worthy of being their queen.

In order to avoid his bloody battle, Benhaya had to act expediently and finally nodded in public to agree to the desecration of the queen.The storm has subsided slightly.

Soon, news came that the guard behind the temple fought against the Siamese pursuers.But when the Siamese follow, a large group of people including the king had arrived at the strong Phnom Penh City...

Phnom Penh City was affected by the situation, and people were in panic at this time.

While deploying defense, the ministers and generals were anxious to find ways to resolve the crisis.

The most important thing in Zhenla Kingdom is to end the war as soon as possible so that we can take a breath to make a little stable through the embarrassing situation of defeat and defeat.

Most people persuaded the king to keep his promise and should immediately abolish the queen in order to preserve his already shaky prestige.Benhaya had to keep his promise and soon announced the abolition of the queen's title.

Zhenla Kingdom is an ancient kingdom. People are experienced and have rules to follow in internal struggles, thus eliminating political enemies step by step.

Those who have long been dissatisfied with the clan of the clan are waiting to depose first and then continue to take advantage of the situation; now Yisuwa's situation is moving in this direction.

It didn't happen anyway.Soon someone suggested that the sinner Yisuva, who was deposed as a commoner, and Ann, would be sent to the camp of the Ming people to apology to the Ming people.

And this ridiculous proposal immediately received support from countless people.

There are only a few people who are dissatisfied with the Hou tribe, but most of the remaining people only care about their own benefits and do not care about Isuva's life or death.

Phnom Penh City is not stable at present, and no one can rely on Zhen La Kingdom; Myanmar is too far away, and the war between Champa and Zhen La in the past two years is still continuing.

Only the Ming people are currently able to interfere in the situation, but first of all, they must win the protection of the Ming Dynasty.

How many people are unwilling to sacrifice someone who doesn’t care about and get more opportunities for peace talks?

Only Benhaya was reluctant.

The Zhenla Kingdom had previously operated and repaired the Phnom Penh City and had already planned to move the capital, so a royal palace was also built in Phnom Penh City; Benhaya lived in this palace.

Isuva, who is no longer a queen, finally entered the palace and met Benhaya again.

The two looked at each other speechlessly.

Benhaya looked at Isuva greedily, as if she wanted to remember everything about her at once.

His eyes were full of reluctance.

If he explains that nothing is not his will, then it is also sincere; however, Benhaya said nothing, he is a relatively silent person.

When Yisuwa saw his eyes, she became more determined. She said: Please agree with the ministers and send me to the Ming people to apologize.

Benhaya kept shaking her head.

Yisuwa said coldly: The situation in Phnom Penh City is very difficult today.If the king loses the throne, I will still be unable to escape this result.

Benhaya was silent, he never said much.He must also know that Isuva is talking about the truth.

Seeing this, Yisuwa sighed secretly, turned around and walked slowly out the door.

She felt that her steps were a little difficult, and she couldn't use any strength.

The initial hatred seemed to have solidified deep in my heart; countless things that were once covered by great hatred gradually emerged from my heart.

The most obvious feeling is undoubtedly assassination and despair.

Just then, Benhaya's voice said: Isuva.

After she stood still, she turned to look at him.

Benhaya said: In the name of the king, I appoint you as one of the noble envoys and follow the envoy to negotiate peace.

Yisuva turned around, tears gushed out from her eyes as deep as a pond.She suddenly knelt on the ground, clasped her hands and said: I already know I did something wrong.

Benhaya looked at her and nodded gently.

The woman kneeling on the ground, her former arrogance and arrogance have disappeared.In just a few months, she seemed to be completely different.
