Yu Wenjie remained silent. Military power has always been the most important thing. He has been trying to centralize power for so many years in power, but it involves a lot of things and has a lot to do with it. It is not something that can be done overnight.
"Where is Huo Zichong?"
"It's near the city gate of Yanjing." He Changan frowned: "It seems that Prince Xi's people want to go to Beijing, but he has so many people, at most 3,000 people come here a day, as long as the affairs in the palace are calmed down as soon as possible Go down, His Majesty can prevent his troops from approaching Yanjing."
"Oh?" Yu Wenjie raised his eyebrows: "Why is the marching speed so slow?"
Judging from the current situation, Yu Wenxi must let them come as soon as possible.
He Chang'an smiled: "The place where Prince Xi stationed his troops is an ice cave. Has the emperor forgotten? There is a mountain road at the exit of the ice cave. It goes around the mountain, and only one person can pass through it at a time. Even if they have to run, they can only pass through it in a day." More than 3,000 people can come out."
The emperor suddenly said: "I didn't pay attention to the location of the troops you arranged, but it is not bad to think of the ice cave."
It's just that if Yu Wenxi regards that place as his own territory, it will be a little troublesome.
"This is the idea of Empress Defei." He Changan smiled: "She said that precautions are indispensable, and it seems that she is right. Now that Prince Xi wants to make any big moves, there will be more or less restrictions."
Was it Hua Chun's idea? The emperor pursed his lips and looked at him sideways: "When did she tell you?"
"A long time ago." He Chang'an paused, "Qing Niao is here too."
That's it, the emperor turned his head and continued to move forward. I don't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt the scent of wintersweet in his breath, but He Changan didn't bring a sachet today.
The palace was in chaos, the emperor and He Chang'an split into two groups at the fork, one person went to one side, and each took a thousand people, from both sides to the middle, disarmed and took away all the guards on the road. Multiple looking honest guards.
Adhering to the principle that he would rather kill the wrong than let them go, the emperor sent them all back to the barracks, and then the people brought by He Chang'an temporarily replaced them on duty.
This tossing took a lot of effort, the emperor and He Chang'an were both so busy that they couldn't get away.
Hua Chun and Qing Niao played Dou Di Zhu in a serious manner in the inner hall, although their hearts were still hanging, but they had nothing to do anyway, at least they had to look calm.
"Stop!" The guard's voice suddenly sounded outside the door, Hua Chun was startled, and immediately got up to listen to the sound.
"The servant belongs to the Huiming Palace. The empress dowager asked the servant to pay her respects to the concubine de concubine. By the way, she invited the concubine de concubine to go over, so that she could feel at ease." An eunuch said solemnly while holding the badge from the empress dowager's palace.
Hua Chun raised his eyebrows, and immediately waved to Qing Niao and Rui Er, the three of them separated and locked the windows next to the main hall.
The guard at the door was silent for a while, probably looking at the waist badge, and then said: "Sorry, the emperor placed Defei Empress here, the door is locked and low-level officials can't open it, the key is with the emperor."
The palace man was dumbfounded, Hua Chun couldn't help laughing: "He's really smart."
Lock her inside and take the key, so who can take her away
Qing Ling couldn't help clapping her hands, and then heard the eunuch say: "The door is locked, isn't there still a window?"
Hua Chun answered him loudly: "The windows are also locked."
Eunuch: "..."
People came to the window soon, and even pulled it with their hands, and after confirming that it couldn't be opened, they said: "Aren't you afraid of boring the empress?"
The guard outside shook his head: "The emperor's order, even the humble officials have no right to intervene."
After being silent for a while, the eunuch muttered something in a low voice, walked around the hall several times before giving up, turned his head and left.
According to the original plan, as long as they take advantage of the chaos to catch Concubine De, they will basically win more than half of the battle this time. But... who would have thought that the emperor would do this? It's impossible to get Concubine De out with high-sounding methods, so Ming Qiang is the only one.
As the sun was setting, seeing that the normal order in the palace was finally restored, and the person who kidnapped the concubine was also being traced, but the emperor had not had time to breathe a sigh of relief when he was frightened half to death by another news.
"Your Majesty, in the battle on the outskirts of Beijing, the King of Chu won a great victory, leading his men to the city gate."
"What?" Yu Wenjie frowned: "There are seven or eight thousand vassals stationed in the suburbs of Beijing, and the total number of troops they lead should be thirty to forty thousand. How can they not stop the strength of the King of Chu alone?"
The soldiers who came to report were speechless, and the emperor sulked for a while, before saying to He Chang'an: "Have someone guard the city gate, and order all the troops near Yanjing to come here."
"Yes." After He Chang'an conveyed the order, he turned his head and said, "Does the emperor think this is a problem of military strength? With so many people, they can't beat a Chu king?"
"I don't dare to think of the bad." The emperor pursed his lips: "If these people have eaten their hearts and dared to follow him to rebel, I will be in a very difficult situation for a while, and it will be difficult to reverse."
The relationship between the vassal king and the emperor has always been pretty good, and there was nothing wrong with talking with the queen mother before. There is no reason for them to suddenly turn against each other.
In any case, Daliang had to usher in the biggest battle for the throne after the change of dynasty.
Huo Zichong has 50,000 soldiers under his command, and he is asking the deputy general to lead the troops to rush here, but the far water is difficult to save the near fire. In the capital, the emperor can only dispatch about 20,000 people, and there are other vassals in the city. If he entered the city in the name of King Qin, he would probably not retreat now, so the gates of the city would be wide open, and it would be difficult to carry 20,000 people until the rescuers came.
Yu Wenjie's eyes were deep, he held the rein and thought for a while, and said: "Chang'an, you go out of the palace first and go to guard the gate of the city, and I will explain something to her."
He Changan was taken aback: "Are you going to play in person again?"
"If I don't play in person, how can you resist so many rebels?" With a sneer, Yu Wenjie turned his horse's head and galloped towards Zichen Hall.
He Chang'an stayed where he was, looked at the handsome back of the emperor, and said, "Our emperor is really a reliable and domineering monarch."
All the soldiers in the back nodded with admiration in agreement!
Hua Chun was sitting in the inner hall in a daze, when he suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes outside, after a while someone came up and unlocked the door of the main hall.
"You're back?" His eyes lit up, and Hua Chun hurriedly went up to meet him: "Is the matter in the palace settled?"
"Solved." The emperor nodded.
"That's great." Hua Chun applauded: "I don't have to be bored here, do I?"
"Yeah." Pushing her shoulders to walk in, the emperor whispered: "You have to go to another place."
