So when the situation was tense, the gates of the palace were closed, and only Mo Yuhou could come in and out freely.
"It's this time, and the empress still refuses to think about the emperor?" Concubine Shu stood in the moon-watching tower, looking at the person on the bed with a sneer and said: "It's in vain that the emperor has a deep love for the empress, but I don't want the empress to even care about the emperor's love." Regardless of the throne, want to sleep alone in this Moon Tower?"
Pengyue coughed lightly, looked at Concubine Shu, couldn't help but forced herself up. She is the princess of Yuzhen Kingdom who is used to being pampered, how can such an abandoned woman get on her head
"What's the matter? Madam is like this now, do you still want to beat me with a whip?" Concubine Shu smiled contemptuously: "It's good if you can stand up, bone erosion poison, the bones will be eroded little by little, Madam, be careful Don't break your legs."
Pengyue leaned against the bed, her head covered in cold sweat from the pain, looking at Concubine Shu, she could only grit her teeth and curse: "You poisonous woman!"
"I'm poisonous?" Concubine Shu laughed so hard that she almost burst into tears: "I'm as vicious as you? It's just a princess who got in halfway. Why do you ask the emperor to have no concubines in the sixth palace? Do you know that I was originally a concubine?" Is it possible to enter the palace and stay with the emperor forever? But because of your words, the emperor married me to Ning Mingjie. As an abandoned woman, it is difficult for me to get his wholehearted attention. Princess Pingyue, Empress, Me or you, who is more poisonous?"
Pengyue was slightly startled, lowered his eyes and said: "If the emperor really has you in his heart, even if I want him to have no concubines in six palaces, he doesn't have to marry you to General Ning."
"You are talking nonsense!" Concubine Shu said angrily, "I have known the emperor since we were young. Every year when we come to the palace to celebrate the Yuan Festival, we spend it with him. I accompany him during his hardest times. How could he not have me in his heart?" ? You just have the Yuzhen Kingdom behind you, otherwise what are you fighting with me for?"
Pengyue was slightly taken aback, then smiled lightly. Yes, if there is no Yuzhen Kingdom, how could he choose her? Now Yuzhenguo can't help at last, so he won't come to see her.
I remembered that I once stood in front of him in a red dress, holding a long whip and said: "From now on, he will be my husband, whoever bullies him will bully me."
How stupid I was at that time.
Pengyue smiled and shed tears, slowly fell back on the bed and said: "I will not fight with you any more, you go, Yuzhen will not send troops, it is best for you to go to the emperor's side to accompany you."
Concubine Shu was so annoyed that she shook her sleeves and left Wangyue Tower.
The capital was besieged for a month, and because Mo Yuhou resisted to the death and overwhelmed the officials, he was able to remain impenetrable. But after being trapped for a long time, the problem came.
How should food be solved? All the grain stores in Beijing have been closed, and there is no food to sell. The common people have changed to eat other things, but the food that can be eaten is gradually decreasing.
Some people from all walks of life came to fight the soldiers of Changjun for two months.
During the war, Ji Man secretly contacted Yan Buba, and smuggled out the grain from the warehouse of Ji's Grain Company. He started to set up a pot to cook in the moat of the capital, and announced the news in the city that it would be distributed outside the city. Free rice, not porridge, is rice.
I don't know how many people died of starvation in the capital. When they heard the news, they rushed to the city gate like crazy. The emperor ordered to suppress it. Before the soldiers went to battle to kill the enemy, they slaughtered their own people first.
People are in panic, the capital is shrouded in a haze, and it is already at the end of its strength. But at this time, the soldiers of Marquis Jingwen, who had come under the banner of King Qin, went directly to the camp of the soldiers of Changjun.
"Brother!" Ji Man looked at the person who lifted the curtain and came in, and couldn't help calling out.
Nie Qingyun also resumed his real name, and when he entered the outskirts of the capital, he changed the banner of King Qin, threatening to demand the emperor's blood to pay for his debts. Two years have passed, and now Nie Qingyun has sat on the position of governor of Jingzhou, and has finally waited for this opportunity to take revenge.
"Sang Yu." Nie Qingyun looked at her with a smile, his eyes were a little excited, but he still suppressed it in front of Zhao Zhe: "You left when you left, why didn't there be any news, if it wasn't for the king of Changjun, I wouldn't know Where should I find you?"
As he spoke, he reached out and stroked her hair: "Your sister-in-law gave birth to a boy."
Ji Man choked up slightly, and was speechless for a while. It's good to have a boy, he must have the heroic spirit of his brother and the true temperament of Er Rong.
"Lord Nie came all the way, it's really hard work." Zhao Zhe said with a smile: "Now it's only a matter of time before the capital is taken down. It's also rare for you to come and witness this prosperous world with me. It's not like the Marquis of Yong'an Waiting for stubborn people to fight against this king."
Nie Qingyun smiled knowingly, clasped his fists with confidence and said: "This time Qingyun brought elite soldiers from Jingzhou. Yong'an is located on a high ground, and water warfare must be its weakness. Qingyun has already discussed a plan with all the soldiers to lead Yong'an Soldiers, go to Qiushui to fight."
"Okay!" Zhao Zhe clapped his hands: "You two, brother and sister, are the king's right-hand men this time. If you can succeed, there will definitely be benefits in the future."
"Thank you, my lord!" Ji Man and Nie Qingyun saluted together.
"Your brother and sister naturally have something to say, so I won't bother you." Zhao Zhe walked out with a smile: "Talk slowly."
The two bowed and sent the Changjun King away together. Nie Qingyun grabbed Ji Man and frowned and said, "Do you know that after you disappeared, Er Rong was so worried that he couldn't sleep for a long time? He almost had a dystocia!"
Ji Man was taken aback, and quickly said, "Is there anything wrong?"
"Mother and child are safe, and now Errong is still taking care of the child in Jingzhou. I wanted to come with her, but the child cannot do without her." Nie Qingyun sighed for a long time, looking at her sister's haggard face , said in a muffled voice: "I should avenge the revenge, you don't have to participate."
Ji Man grinned at him: "Brother and Dad treat me so well, I can't just watch and do nothing. What's wrong with women? Women are human too, why can't they avenge their own family?"
"You..." Nie Qingyun sighed, and frowned again: "Do you still like Mo Yuhou that much?"
Ji Man was taken aback for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
In Nie Qingyun's impression, Nie Sangyu is the kind who loves Ning Yuxuan to death, and tells his brother all the green things. But Nie Qingyun doesn't know the arrangement of Mo Yuhou and others now, and thinks that Mo Yuhou really wants to guard the country for the Holy One, and the two sides are against each other, how can this situation be fulfilled
"Brother, don't worry about me." Ji Man thought for a while and said, "Let everything take its course."
Nie Qingyun thought that she was also in a dilemma, so she stopped talking about this question, just asked her how she had been in the past two years, and said something about Jingzhou.
Afterwards, someone came to report, the voice was so loud that half of the barracks could hear: "Report—there is a riot among the people in the capital, and thousands of people crowded behind the city gate and demanded to leave the city."
Nie Qingyun was taken aback, and lifted the curtain with Ji Man to go out, when Zhao Zhe stood outside and calmly issued a two-word order: "Siege the city!"
"yes!"
The army's enthusiasm was boiling, Zhao Zhe led the troops himself, and when he got on his horse, he looked back at Ji Man and said, "Do you want to go and see?"
Nie Qingyun frowned: "My lord, swords have no eyes on the battlefield."
"It's okay, this king will protect her." Zhao Zhe ordered someone to lead a horse, looked at Ji Man with a smile and said, "Come on, this king will show you how the world has changed." of."
Ji Man was slightly stunned, Shen Youqing's curtain not far away was slightly lifted.
All the soldiers in the army were booing, and Ji Man had no choice but to bite the bullet and get on the horse: "Thank you, my lord."
"You have to follow me closely." Zhao Zhe smiled at her and pointed his sword at the sky: "Send troops!"
Shouting loudly, Ji Man held on tightly to the reins, for fear of being thrown off by the horse. Fortunately, the horse was relatively docile, and Zhao Che's speed was not very fast. After the smoke billowed, she followed the army and disappeared outside the camp.
"Princess." The servant girl softly called Shen Youqing at the door of the tent, she turned her head, lowered her eyes and said: "It's okay, take off the things on my head for me."
"yes."
The riots of the people are a god-sent opportunity for the soldiers of Changjun to attack the capital. Controlling food is indeed choking the throat of the capital. The government can withstand hunger because there is food in stock. But the common people are different. In their eyes, it doesn't matter who is the emperor, as long as there is food to eat.
The reason why Zhao Zhe went in person this time was because he decided that he would be able to break through the gate of the capital today.
Shen Youqing has been with him since he was the crown prince as the princess concubine, and now she thinks that she can share the glory with him, and she has even combed the phoenix bun and put on the yellow robe.
Instead, he pulled another woman onto the horse.
Shen Youqing didn't understand why Zhao Zhe let a grain seller into the mansion as an assistant at the beginning, and later he didn't understand why he simply lent the grain of Changjun to that person. I don't even understand why Changjun was in a good mood all day when he knew that this person was coming back.
Until the man took off his mask, Shen Youqing finally understood everything.
Nie Sangyu.
Zhao Zhe once joked to Nie Sangyu, "If one day I rule the world, I will make someone like you my queen."
He said a lot of jokes, and she was a little concerned about this one sentence. When the people around him came back and told her, she was a little dazed.
He also remembered Nie Sangyu's name.
Is the fear now becoming a reality? What she fears the most is that she gave him her best years, but he wants to embrace the newcomer and laugh proudly in the world.
Tightening her fingers slightly, Shen Youqing calmed down a bit. She needs to be calm, she is a woman who has experienced countless ups and downs, how could she lose to a married abandoned woman
Ji Man sneezed repeatedly on the horse, but fortunately, no one noticed the sound of hooves all around. The road in the capital is deserted, but the place near the city gate is full of voices.
"Let us out!"
The shouts of thousands of people became louder and louder, as if they were about to overturn the city gate.
