messed up
The real turmoil is not in the capital, so the Shengjing city and even the palace are quite quiet.
Qin Shao is really busy and nervous. On the one hand, he has to adjust the defense of the imperial army in the Xishan Palace, and on the other hand, he has to do all this quietly, so that others will not think there is any problem with his adjustment.
The few people who knew the inside story were really suffering, especially Su Yangjiao.
Since he has to go to the Queen's bedroom twice a day to confirm whether King Xi is there, verbal confirmation is not enough, he must see him in the window; he must also pester Emperor Jiang so that he has daily arrangements, and don't think of Su Xing Yi, don't suddenly have the idea of going to see him; you have to meet Qin Shao every night with trepidation, discuss with him the defense situation of the imperial army, and transfer Wei Songren's people to the Xishan hunting ground little by little.
Fortunately, this sense of crisis turned around on the fourth day.
Finally, shocking news came from Yunzhong County.
The soldier who reported the letter was in a panic, covered in blood, and had an arrow sticking out of his back.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Wuyuan Army..." The soldier fell from his horse on the verge of death, spat blood from his mouth, and forced himself to say the last two words in front of Emperor Jiang: "It's reversed..."
After speaking, the whole person passed out.
Jiang Di's whole body was shaken, and he touched half of the bloody soldier talisman from the hand of the soldier who reported the letter.
"Wei Songren!?"
The military talisman was passed down from the founder of the country/Zudi, and it has always been in the hands of the commander of the imperial army. The eunuch in charge of the palace is in charge. Half of the tiger talisman can mobilize all the troops.
Jiang Diqi's beard trembled, and he plunged the dagger into the soil fiercely.
"This old man!" He clenched his palms, his face turned pale, his whole body trembled, and he said angrily, "He told me that he was unwell, so he went to dispatch troops!"
"Holy Majesty, appease your anger!" All the ministers also knelt down in shock.
"What is he going to do! You...you tell me clearly!"
Su Yangjiao stood beside Emperor Jiang very calmly, and said, "Father, Wei Zhang printed him..."
"Hey, what face does he have? You still call him palm print?"
"Yes, the traitor Wei came in the name of King Qin's protection. My son guessed that he probably has an insider in this palace. Otherwise, what purpose would he come to King Qin as an eunuch?"
"Yes, yes, the fourth brother is right! Check! Let me check, who should be inside!"
Jiang Di roared angrily, and walked up to the Third Prince with a firm mind, pointing at him, "Is it you!"
Before the third prince could reply, he muttered "no" to himself, turned to Su Yunmo, and shouted, "Is that you!?"
Emperor Jiang pressed his cold sweating forehead with his hand, and pointed weakly at Su Yunmo: "Yes, yes, it must be you! You are proud of you on weekdays, and they all love you, support you, and even give me a memorial, let me stand You are the prince! You... Do you think you are worthy?!"
Without waiting for Su Yunjie to speak, Jiang Di kicked him on the knee.
Su Yunman frowned, hesitated for a long time before saying a few words: "My son, no..."
After speaking, he knelt down and licked his forehead on the dirt.
Su Yangjie didn't speak, he just stood there watching, with an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Sad, sad but also a bit of schadenfreude.
Under the scorching sun, Su Yunjie was wearing golden scale armor and a scarlet cloak on his shoulders.
Under the breeze, the crimson cloak flew up.
Jiang Di kicked Su Yunmo on the shoulder, "No! You didn't!? What face do you have to say you don't!"
Su Yunman's body fell backwards, but he still insisted on getting up straight.
Looking at the golden figure, Su Yangjiao pursed his lips tightly.
Empress Ren came slowly from behind, her delicate face was bloodless and pale, she looked at Su Yangjiao, then at Su Yunman who was kneeling on the ground, and walked over.
Unexpectedly, Su Yangjiao grabbed his sleeve from behind.
Queen Ren turned around and saw Su Yangjiao shaking his head at her.
She bit her lower lip and went to look at Emperor Jiang again.
At this moment, she knew in her heart that if Su Yunzhi and Wei Songren really conspired against each other, then she and her favorite son might not end well.
Su Yangjie stepped forward and whispered softly in her ear: "The queen mother doesn't ask for favors."
Empress Ren frowned, and while everyone's attention was on Emperor Jiang and the second prince, she pulled Su Yangjiao aside, and whispered: "My son, do you know that if it was really your second brother's fault, you and my second brother will not be able to do it." Everyone has to bear the crime together, how could the queen mother let him involve you?"
She was flustered like thunder, how could Su Yunman do such a thing?
Really underestimated him.
Su Yangjiao was calm and composed, and replied: "It's not him."
He noticed Empress Ren's expression, and it was inconvenient to explain further, so he could only say: "Empress Mother just needs to stand by Emperor Father's side, don't ask for favors, and don't talk too much."
Su Yunman looked stern, lowered his head and said: "Father, my son has never got involved in the imperial army, let alone made friends with Wei Songren."
The anger in Emperor Jiang's heart also subsided a little, he paced back and forth on the ground, pinching the center of his eyebrows, and slowed down his tone a little: "It's not you, nor him, who the hell is it!"
At this time, someone came up, knelt tremblingly and said: "Your Majesty, the imperial army must be stabilized first! Your majesty, the guards of the palace are all the imperial army!"
Emperor Jiang suddenly realized, and raised his forehead: "Yes, Aiqing is right, the imperial army..." He suddenly raised his eyes and said, "Where is Qin Shao? Qin Shao!"
In the middle, a steed galloped from the pasture. The person who came was wearing black armor, and the black cloak fluttered in the wind.
Who else could it be if it wasn't Qin Shao?
The steed was approaching, and the knight immediately pulled the reins, jumped off the horse, knelt on the ground on one knee, and presented a memorial in both hands, his voice was like a drum, "Your Majesty! I have readjusted all the imperial guards in the palace. , Those who are close to Wei Songren have been confined to the Xishan hunting ground by the minister, and the remaining imperial guards are all trustworthy people after the minister's purging."
I finally heard the good news. Emperor Jiang's eyes were slightly moist, and he finally saw the right person. At the beginning, he transferred this general guarding the border back to the capital and only served as the deputy commander of the imperial army. He also endured a lot of persuasion. There are many excerpts like this.
Fortunately, he has always been jealous of eunuchs, so he wants Qin Shao and other important generals with prestige in the army to enter the Forbidden Army.
Finally, he did not fail his painstaking efforts.
The civil servants who had been frightened to the point of weakness early on, only managed to stand up again after hearing Qin Shao's words.
"Okay, okay, great." Emperor Jiang didn't think of a better way for a while, the news came too suddenly, he suddenly widened his eyes, and said: "Why... why don't you leave the camp and return to the palace now?"
There is a city defense army at the city gate, and it only takes half a day to go all the way back from the palace, even if so many people take a carriage, I am afraid that they will not be able to go back in one day.
Looking at the soldiers who reported the letter, they should be sentry posts in Yunzhong County, which means that they may be surrounded by the Wuyuan Army before they return to the gate of Shengjing City.
Besides, Shengjing City's city defense army is less than 5000 people, how can it stop the [-] troops of the Wuyuan Army?
Jiang Di frowned deeply, shaking his head while thinking, his face changed three times, but he still couldn't do anything.
Is it necessary to rely on these 1000 forbidden troops to guard them to the death?
What can I do?
Jiang Di pinched his brows with his hands behind his back and paced up and down. Every time he saw Su Yunmo, the disgust in his heart deepened. Even if he knew that he was not an internal agent, he couldn't hide the disgust for this son gushing out of his heart.
Su Yangjiao and Qin Shao who was kneeling on the ground looked at each other.
Qin Shaodao: "Your Majesty, I suggest that everyone go to Baohua Hall. Baohua Hall is the highest, surrounded by mountains on two sides and water on one side. It is a natural barrier. I will let the imperial army guard the only passage. day."
"What? It can only resist for two days? What should I do after those two days?"
Su Yangjie said: "Father, in three days, the fifth brother will bring his cavalry from the Cenan Army to support."
"Who are you talking about?" Jiang Di widened his eyes and asked.
"Fifth brother, fifth brother has quietly gone out when the sentinel delivered the letter. He will bring the first cavalry to rescue us." Su Yangjiao nodded and said: "Fifth brother was afraid of scaring the snake, so he didn't report to the emperor in advance. On his behalf, I plead guilty to my father."
While talking, he bent over to kneel down, covered his chest with his right hand, and coughed hard twice.
"At this critical moment, what else do you want to report?" Jiang Di showed some joy on his face, walked over quickly to support Su Yangjiao, nodded and said: "Okay, that's all right, the fifth one has done well, well done."
The situation is critical, and there is no room for any hesitation in this matter. Emperor Jiang was not worried that the fifth prince would not rush back. He looked at the only female official in the crowd, Chen Tingpan, and knew that as long as the fourth and this woman were there, the fifth would definitely There will be no delay.
Although Emperor Jiang was old, he hadn't reached the point of senility, but the news came too fast, he didn't react for a while, and now he had free time, so he sat on the dragon chair in Baohua Hall, and put I thought about these ins and outs.
He issued an order to transfer all the people in the palace to this Baohua hall, including those foreign envoys and the mother and daughter of Concubine Baoxi who were almost forgotten by him.
Naturally, Su Yangjiao went to "invite" his good elder brother in person, and King Xun went.
He and Wei Nanxun walked all the way, and saw that the palace servants and maidservants were panicking like birds and beasts, and some of them were running towards the Baohua Palace, and people of their status must not be able to enter the palace. .
But they can hide around Baohua Hall, even if the soldiers come, they will not be allowed to block guns and arrows, and some people will run into the mountains and forests.
After all, the mountains are vast and there are many trees in the forest. If you can hide a little deeper, you may be able to escape this disaster.
Only Su Yangjiao and Wei Nanxun walked away calmly.
They walked in the opposite direction from the crowd.
However, Qin Shao soon brought the forbidden army to maintain order.
Prior to this, Qin Shao had explored with Wei Nan many times, and deduced the situation today several times. In the eyes of others, General Qin is like a god general. Wherever he leads the soldiers, the people there are at ease.
Those scattered palace people also had the same mentality. They heard General Qin's thunderous voice shaking in the air: "Everyone is not allowed to gallop, follow me, whoever dares to run around, I will shoot him to death with an arrow!"
The chaotic scene became orderly in an instant.
Su Yangjiao and Wei Nanxun walked towards Empress Ren's bedroom, when he suddenly turned his head, Qin Shao seemed to sense his gaze, and looked at him as well.
He gave Qin Shao a thumbs up.
Although Qin Shao didn't know what it meant, he knew in his heart that it must be a good idea.
No one could have imagined that everything is now under the control of this crooked fourth prince.
