The undulating mountains on the outskirts of Beijing are far more majestic than those in other places.
Among the many mountains, eight rivers surround Chang'an, and the green mountains and clear waters covered with silver guard the most prosperous capital city in the world.
And this capital city has just experienced a huge gunfire. Although it did not cause large-scale casualties, it still caused panic and made the people feel at risk.
In the center of Sifang Street, Xiao Mubai, who was surrounded by people, saw Xiao Zimu approaching from a distance and took the lead to greet him. In front of the people of Chang'an, he bowed politely and called out: " Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Xiao Zimu smiled warmly and said, "Second brother, thank you for your hard work."
"How come you don't even put a big cloak on the prince's head when you leave the palace? Even though it's early in the snow, the wind is very biting." Xiao Mubai saw that he only wore an apricot yellow brocade robe and welcomed him into the middle. , while taking off his big cloak, put it on his shoulders and started to accuse Yu Yingbo.
"Originally, I was wearing the cloak when I left the palace, but His Highness the Crown Prince just put the cloak on an injured soldier." Yu Yingbo replied a little aggrievedly, and he couldn't stop it.
Xiao Zimu looked at Xiao Mubai, who was only wearing a black round-neck shirt, and tried to take off the cloak and give it back to him.
Xiao Mubai stretched out his hand and held it down: "I have armor on my body, which is more powerful than yours."
Xiao Zimu's heart felt warm, but then he saw the hand he pressed over. On the Xuanyi exposed from the cuffs of the armor, there were faint plum blossoms embroidered with silver thread. There was a little bit of snow falling on the branches and leaves, and even more Showing the splendor of a royal descendant in him.
However, what made him feel a little dazzling was that the faint silver-threaded plum blossoms were exactly the same as the hosta plum blossoms on the early summer bun.
Xiao Mubai saw that his eyes were fixed on his sleeves, and then he put his hands behind his back and reminded him in his ear: "Just say a few words."
Xiao Zimu gathered his thoughts, coughed twice, and spoke loudly to the people who had already gathered around him: "My father is lying in bed, something happened in the palace, Concubine Li collaborated with the enemy, and His Royal Highnesses conspired to rebel. Today, fortunately, our second brother, His Highness King Mo, is leading the army. Defeat the rebels. However, the crisis still exists. At this moment, we need our monarch and his ministers to be united and their subjects to be one, to jointly defend against the enemy and find a glimmer of hope. Chang'an is our capital and our home. Taking a step back will destroy the country. The family is dead!"
Xiao Mubai was the first to support him and spoke out: "Follow me to the death, Your Highness. Protect your family and country, and kill the rebels."
The soldiers of King Mo's army who were scattered everywhere heard Xiao Mubai's shouts and stopped to respond: "Follow me to the death, Your Highness. Protect your family and country, and kill the rebels."
The warm sunshine at noon bathed everyone, and the oath lingered in the mouths of every soldier of King Mo's army.
The people had just experienced the desperate situation in the morning on such a cold and snowy day.
When they originally supported Xiao Yanjun as the crown prince, Xiao Yanjun showed his ferocious minions. The handsome man held a torch and tried to burn them to death.
Now that Concubine Li and Xiao Yanjun's rebellion has become a reality, the people have also identified the real and fake princes. Even though Xiao Mubai has clearly told them just now that although they have won today, Chang'an will still face a continued fierce battle tomorrow.
They were trapped here. Although it was a dead end, Xiao Zimu built a rainbow bridge in front of them. At the dead end of the cliff, the people saw the hope of escaping.
Although what he said was just finding a glimmer of hope.
That... is also vitality!
Therefore, the people's already surging emotions were heightened by the shouts of the soldiers.
They all joined in the oath and shouted: "I will follow you to the death, His Highness. Protect your family and country, and kill the rebels."
Even Jie Jiming and Kong Changhui, two weak scholars, were in such a magnificent scene, listening to the unanimous shouts of hundreds of thousands of people in Kyoto, and watching King Mo's military flag swaying in the wind, and their whole bodies could not suppress a slight tremble and their blood boiled. , I wish I could go into battle with them and kill the enemy with blood!
In the city of Chang'an, there were constant announcements. The deafening sound stretched for dozens of miles, and even Li Fei and her party stationed at Shili Pavilion after exiting Kyoto could hear it clearly.
Xiao Yanjun curled his lips and sneered: "The howling of a trapped beast cannot take an oath."
Shi Fuqiu was holding his breath, but he didn't dare to scold him.
Concubine Li, on the other hand, gouged him out and said what Shi Fuqiu was thinking: "If you hadn't aroused the public's anger, how could they have been united?"
Xiao Yanjun looked a little shy, and then said to Concubine Li in a warm voice: "Anyway, the mother-in-law doesn't care about Chang'an. Besieging the palace is the same as being besieged Chang'an. When the garrison arrives, circle them up... and play with them to death. "
Concubine Li had a calm expression on her face, but there was a flash of cruelty in her eyes. She turned to look at Shi Fuqiu beside her and asked, "How long will it take for the Shi family's army to arrive in the capital?"
Shi Fuqiu replied: "There's still half a month left."
When Li Fei made up her mind to seize the throne, she asked Shi Fuqiu to send a message to mobilize troops. Only 20,000 soldiers were left to garrison the new city, and the remaining 230,000 troops were brought back to Chang'an by his son Shi Jialiang.
Shi Fuqiu didn't know at the time that Concubine Li had secretly communicated with the garrison near Chang'an. Now he felt that as long as the garrison was in place, the city could be breached without the Shi family's army returning to Beijing.
Concubine Li looked at him with a look of resentment on his face, and curved her lips into a smile: "Are you still complaining about me for having you transferred back to the Shi Family Army?"
Shi Fuqiu lowered his eyes in silence, and finally nodded. He glanced at Xiao Yanjun, and couldn't help but said to Concubine Li: "Although the prince is married to a Mongolian princess, there are only 20,000 people left in the new city, and the Mongolian people only have Raise your troops and the new city cannot be defended."
He had another sentence planned in his mind, but he didn't dare to say it, but Li Fei took it with a smile: "What's more, the Mongolian princess is still in the palace, and the Mongolian people have more and more reasons to send troops?"
Shi Fuqiu looked stunned, not expecting that she could guess what was in his heart.
But because of this, he became more and more puzzled as to why Concubine Li left the palace without Aodenge Rile.
With the mausoleum gate under her command, it is more than enough to go to the East Palace and take away a princess.
Li Fei leaned against the fire. She had been pampered for many years and had not suffered such a crime for a long time. She looked at the empty tent and let out a "tsk", then took the warmed wine that Lian Yan handed over and sipped it. After taking a sip, he said calmly: "Because I want the new city to be destroyed."
Shi Fuli suddenly stood up and looked at Concubine Li in disbelief: "Shi Fuli, what are you talking about? Are you really crazy?"
When it comes to forced uterus, he can understand it. As for usurping the throne, being a prince was inevitable, and he could understand it.
But why do you want to deliberately let the Mongolian people go to destroy the new city
Xincheng is also the land of Great Xiao!
Even if Xiao Yanjun seizes the throne, he will lose his own territory...
