Before the ministers could react, the generals pulled them and rushed toward the entrance. Seeing this, the younger ministers and lower-ranked officials quickly followed them.
With the loyalist generals opening the way, the ministers from the loyalist faction and neutral faction followed closely behind them, while the neutral faction's generals covered the rear.
Protected by the generals, the ministers didn't stay idle. They picked up the fallen swords, then hacked and slashed at the nearest rebel soldiers, trying their best to help as much as they could.
Witnessing this, Wen Kang was furious. Glaring at the rebel general, he asked, "What are you doing?! Go and kill them all!"
The rebel general hesitated for a moment, then braced himself and said, "Your Majesty, this subordinate cannot let you stay here alone."
Blinded by anger, Wen Kang shouted, "Go! Zhen wants their heads today!"
