The Crown Prince in the Jade Pendant - Chapter 124

After Xiaoqi was imprisoned in Kunning Palace, the position of the queen survived in name only. The second princess was ordered to embroider the dowry in the palace, while the king Lu was deprived of the title and relegated to the county king. His original fief, Luoyang, was taken back by the imperial court, and another barren land was replaced. Once the capital’s situation stabilized, he immediately took over. But this time, the name of the three princes is Jiu Fan, which is actually equivalent to house arrest.

Zhenbei Hou Mansion was not liquidated because of Qin Yi’s sake, but Zhenbei Hou asked himself to retire. The Qi family’s nephew was also dismissed and demoted. These days, Zhenbei Hou Mansion has not been closed. Out, for fear of causing trouble to the upper body. The entire capital city is full of depression and misery. Almost every family has relatives who have died in the melee. Now, they have no time to grieve for their relatives, so they have to face another more terrifying problem.

Dealing with Liu Gonggong’s accomplices, even the latter part of Xiaoqi, was also implicated, nothing more than to quell public anger. But the liquidation of these people is not the end, on the contrary, the problem has just begun.

“His Royal Highness, it is very complicated to deploy troops outside Juyongguan Pass, and I am afraid that they will attack all frontiers soon.”

The elites of the capital have been trapped outside the gate with the emperor, and the remaining old, weak, sick and disabled are less than 100,000. With these 100,000, how can they hold the capital?

Today, the foreign affairs and internal affairs of the Dayan Dynasty are surprisingly severe. A few days ago, a general Hu who tried to make a fortune was already sent out. If another improper handling by the court next, I am afraid that the danger of Dayan’s subjugation is at hand.

Xuanfu fell and the emperor was captured. Compared with the external dangers, this incident had a greater impact on the court’s internal order. After Qin Yi refused to ascend to the throne, the remaining half of the court fell into an unspeakable silence, and the people’s hearts had long since collapsed in a calm situation.

But at this time, Qin Yi didn’t have time to pay attention to what these officials were thinking. The life and death of the entire country is in front of Qin Yi’s eyes. The enemy is proud and eyeing, but what does the court look like? All high-ranking civil servants died in the melee, most of the generals with leading experience went out with the army. Outside the battle, even the promising reserve children of the noble family also followed the army to gild. As a result, the emperor had neither military literacy nor neither. Knowing people’s knowledge, even the eunuchs and favored officials were allowed to fight for power. The army ordered to change at night, and the advance and retreat were out of order, and the marching route was changed if it was changed. Thus, the Oala cavalry took the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity and the whole army was taken by surprise.

Difficulties in domestic and foreign affairs, the situation that Qin Yi is facing is the situation that Qin Yi has to face.

Qin Yi looked at the army deployment map in front of him and remained silent for a long time. When he spoke again, he was firm and decisive, with a loud voice: “Transfer the two capitals, Henan prepares troops into Beijing, Shandong prepares Japanese troops from Hejian and Baoding to the capital on standby, and prepares Japanese troops on the coasts of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The army also entered Beijing immediately by the waterway. The Jiangbei and the capital’s government transported grain troops rushed to help, opened the state warehouse, and transferred the grain and grass into the capital.” Then, Qin Yi pointed his finger at several military offices on the map and said, “I will issue an edict immediately. The generals of the provinces entered the King Qin of Beijing.”

Because the high-ranking civil servants were exhausted in this incident, many people in the Sixth Department were temporarily promoted by Qin Yi. This temporary team knew that the crisis this time was different from the past, so they accepted their contempt, and all kinds of red tape could be reduced as much as possible. Upon hearing Qin Yi’s instructions, the people who were called hurriedly agreed to a promise. Run down to deal with it. Everyone in the Wenhua Pavilion walked in a hurry. I don’t know how many documents were issued from here in one day. The former power center also moved from the Wenyuan Pavilion where the cabinet was located to the Wenhua Hall. The order is busy.

Qin Yi stayed in the foreign court all day, arranging troops, food, armaments, and appointing new generals. He needed too much consideration. Chu Jinyao hadn’t seen Qin Yi for several days. She was pregnant and lethargic. Often when Qin Yi came back, she was already asleep. When she woke up, Qin Yi was already in the court. Chu Jinyao originally thought that Qin Yi was too busy, but after a few days of doing this, Chu Jinyao slowly felt something was wrong.

How does she feel that Qin Yi is deliberately avoiding her?

So today, Chu Jinyao insisted on holding on to her spirits, Linglong persuaded her to go to sleep several times, and she insisted. Finally, she yawned again and again, with tears in her eyes, and finally waited until Qin Yi came back.

When Qin Yi entered the door, there was not much movement. When he entered the room and saw Chu Jinyao, his eyes flashed with surprise: “Why haven’t you slept yet?”

After speaking, he naturally went to see the servants of the palace. Chu Jinyao stood up and rescued the little forest whose back face had been pulled into bitter gourd in time: “It has nothing to do with them. I insist on waiting for you.”

Qin Yi looked at Chu Jinyao, and finally sighed and said, “You all go down.”

The palace people standing around unanimously let out a sigh of relief, bowed their heads and walked back. However, even if there were no outsiders in the house, Qin Yi was still far away from Chu Jinyao, and he did not walk to her naturally as usual.

Chu Jinyao’s guess in her heart became clearer and clearer, and there was indeed an invisible barrier between the two of them. If you don’t talk about this knot today, Qin Yi may decide how long he will have to be awkward with himself.

“His Royal Highness, today the palace people reported that the second princess went to Kunning Palace again to see the queen, but was stopped.”

Qin Yi replied indifferently: “When you stop, she stops. She is spoiled for lawlessness. She should have been in charge long ago.”

The second princess was very restless these days, she was beaten and beaten again, but she was just a princess, and even the king of Lu was subjugated to the throne. How could she ever win the power of the court. Chu Jinyao talked about the second princess, but nothing more.

“His Royal Highness, I sometimes see women in the palace, and I always feel sad. The second princess is a princess, so what about other women? Since the queen is a country, she has been in the palace for ten years. She has graces and children, but now, her Feng Yin says that when she is deprived, she is deprived. As a queen, she can no longer accept the pilgrimage of the maternal wife, and she can’t even see her own daughter. I know that His Royal Highness probably doesn’t like it. Listening to these, but I am in it, and I can’t help but hurt them. This is probably the fate of the woman in the palace. No matter how glorious and glorious they look at, they are actually nothing but a castle in the sky. The whole family is tied to foreign objects. The real nobleman here said that if you let you die, you have to die.” Chu Jinyao looked at Qin Yi and slowly said, “This person used to be the emperor, but now he is his highness.”

The light in Qin Yi’s eyes couldn’t help but solemnly: “Who will tell you this?”

“No one. Besides, do you still need someone to say such things.” Chu Jinyao looked at Qin Yi quietly and said, “It is the queen who has fallen now, and it may not be me in the future. Speaking of which, I and the queen’s The situation is still quite similar. They are very pampered as soon as they enter the palace. Relying on pampering and hue, this attracts everyone in the harem to awe.”

Qin Yi finally lost to Chu Jinyao. He sighed in his heart, walked forward and carefully took Chu Jinyao’s shoulders, and helped her sit on the side of the couch: “What are you thinking about. You are different from them.” , I and the emperor are different, this kind of thing will not happen.”

“I have been married to you for only a year, and there are still children in my stomach. Of course, this kind of thing won’t happen. But what about in the future?” Chu Jinyao broke away from Qin Yi’s hand, turned around and stared at him contemptuously. “Your Majesty, my family is inferior to others. I have no talents and no strategy. What I rely on is nothing more than Your Highness. If you are willing to trust me and talk frankly and honestly with me, I will be able to stay in the harem with a thin layer of ice. Go up and down, if you don’t want to tell me one day, what is the difference between me and the queen?”

Qin Yi grew up so old that he was speechless for the first time when asked. He didn’t know how to face Chu Jinyao these few days, and because of the fact that there were a lot of things outside the court, he waited for Chu Jinyao to fall asleep before returning, and tried to avoid the meeting between the two. After Qin Yi came back every day, he watched Chu Jinyao’s sleeping face for a long time. This was the person he wanted to protect most, but he let her suffer such things. Qin Yi suddenly questioned whether he was really good for her when he forcibly snatched Chu Jinyao from Lin Xiyuan and asked her to be a princess. When he made this decision, he didn’t ask Chu Jinyao what he meant at all. Until now, he didn’t know whether Chu Jinyao was willing to accept the imperial decree of marriage.

He wanted to see Chu Jinyao again after he wanted to understand. But I didn’t expect that Chu Jinyao would have such an aggressive time, and Qin Yi almost couldn’t speak. Qin Yi had no choice but to say: “I didn’t mean that. Who instigated you, how could I think this way? I just think I might be too self-righteous.”

Chu Jinyao never expected to hear such words from Qin Yi. Qin Yi is indeed a bit dogmatic and strong, but with his arrogant temperament, he would admit it?

Chu Jinyao deeply felt that this matter was extraordinary. No one was fought with iron. If Qin Yi could say this, I am afraid that the pressure over the past few days is too great. Chu Jinyao asked softly: “Why?”

Qin Yi paused, looking at Chu Jinyao with profound and complicated eyes, which seemed to contain some kind of enthusiasm, but when Chu Jinyao took a closer look, there was no trace. Qin Yi said: “I ordered to stick to the capital, and if any officials secretly send their family members out of Beijing, they will all be shot.”

Chu Jinyao felt that this was right: “It is natural to be stricter in wartime. If this wind blows, the hearts of the people will be turbulent, and no one will be willing to defend the capital.”

Qin Yi touched Chu Jinyao’s hair and did not speak. Chu Jinyao’s inspiration flashed and suddenly understood what Qin Yi meant: “His Royal Highness, are you worried, me and my child?”

Qin Yi did not answer directly, but asked: “Would you not blame me?”

Chu Jinyao was stunned, and then she was really out of anger: “His Royal Highness, if you send me out, I will be annoyed with you! Since I am a princess, I dare not say for the people and the country, but at least, I always go in and out with you. If you abandon the city and leave the city, I will accompany you to the south. If you stick to the capital until the last moment, then I will wait for you in the palace regardless of life or death. Me, you, and our children, our family must be together.”

The light in Qin Yi’s eyes was so bright that he couldn’t speak. He held Chu Jinyao’s hand with great strength, and almost hurt Chu Jinyao: “At the beginning I heard that Lin Jia wanted to make you a side concubine. It was because I was both frightened and angry. I felt that I could not let you be stupid. , So I wrote back to the capital. I have not asked you, would you like it?”

Chu Jinyao was stunned, and suddenly couldn’t help but chuckle. Chu Jinyao saw that the more she smiled, the more dangerous Qin Yi’s eyes were. She quickly restrained herself and said, “Your Majesty, when you look at your own face, how can a woman be unwilling?”

Qin Yi still looked unhappy, but a smile flashed in his eyes: “Mischief.”

It’s more than just a nonsense, Qin Yi most annoys other people looking at him with that disgusting look, regardless of male or female. But it was strange to say that the same words from Chu Jinyao’s mouth seemed to be less annoying.

“Okay, then don’t mess around.” Chu Jinyao said, getting serious and asked, “His Royal Highness, do you remember the time we first met?”

“Of course.” Qin Yi teased, “At that time, your attitude was extremely arrogant. Especially with so many people in the Chu family, you only dare to face me.”

Speaking of this Chu Jinyao was a little embarrassed, but she wanted to say a lot of these things, but she was embarrassed to say it all the time. But later in Changheyuan, she wanted to understand that she would never know if she had some gratitude and feelings without saying it.

“His Royal Highness, this may not be a big deal to you, but it is no different to me that a frog at the bottom of a well suddenly caught a glimpse of the sky. I really depended on it at that time, and I am very grateful to Qi Ze. After you left, I was depressed for a long time. Time, during that period of time, I have been regretting that you are the first time I saw you in my boudoir career, and I was just a passerby to pass the time. Then I talked about marriage. I thought it was probably like this in my life, but I met you again. You were willing to pull me out of the embarrassment of being a concubine. I am really grateful to you. I even thought at the time that it doesn’t matter if you marry me and become a puppet prince. I’ll do whatever you like. Someone for you. But that night you told me your name is Qin Yi…”

You are young and amazing, you are the hero who saves the beauty, and you are also the one who is long.

Chu Jinyao said tears in her eyes, Qin Yi silently hugged her into her arms, Chu Jinyao grabbed the black prince’s uniform, with a strong nasal voice: “You are willing to marry me, I am really happy, whether it is from The prince is still from the perspective of Zize. My adoptive father and adoptive mother never regarded me as a human being, and my biological parents did not kiss me, so I only have you…”

“Okay, don’t cry.” Qin Yi’s heart was crying to pieces, distressed. He didn’t expect to hear such words from Chu Jinyao. While you are becoming more and more important to me, I am also very important to you.

Chu Jinyao cried and cried, furious: “But you deliberately avoided me, you even want to send me away!”

“No, I was talking nonsense, I have changed my mind now.”

“Then you will come back so late on purpose and miss me on purpose?”

“No.” Qin Yi thought silently, in fact, he also endured very hard. It’s like raising a delicate orchid, wanting to give her the best in the world, but fearing that one might not be the best, and wronged her. He just entangled in this way. He didn’t expect that in the heart of this orchid, the person who cultivated the flower was the most important.

“Jin Yao, I will also be afraid. I am afraid that if I can’t handle everything this time, I will personally kill you.”

Chu Jinyao was hooped in her arms and said dully, “It’s nothing, I’m also afraid that you will change your heart. From birth to death, you have been with you. I am the only one of you. Maybe I can’t ask for it.”

Qin Yi chuckled, his chest trembling slightly: “Okay.”

This “good” is promised, no one knows except Qin Yi.

The capital was dispatched urgently. The Wala people outside the Guan had been arguing for a long time. They still felt that the cheap gifts sent from heaven should not be used for nothing. They took the emperor to the Juyong Pass, and in the name of sending the emperor back to Beijing, they asked all sides to close and open the city gates.

Before the 800-mile emergency report was sent to Qin Yi’s desk, Qin Yi was silent for a long time in front of the envelope, and slowly wrote “Reject”.

Knowing that there is an abyss ahead, I still have to step out. Just like a few days ago, after abandoning Xiaoqi, he clearly knew that the first bird would die, but he wanted to stabilize the situation and calm people’s hearts, Qin Yi had no choice at all.

On the third day after refusing to enter the Pass, Wala attacked Juyongguan and Datong Mansion. Because of the emperor’s presence, the Yan Dynasty guards were restrained. Five days later, Arieskou, Zijingguan, and Juyongguan fell completely, and the capital was threatened, and the capital was in danger.

Qin Yi personally led the troops and lined up outside the nine gates of Yongding, Desheng, and Anding. Behind them were the walls of the capital. After their bodies, there was no barrier in the capital.

Subjugation is still shame, life or death. When he walked out of the gate of Ciqing Palace today, Chu Jinyao arranged for him whether his armor was the last side of his life.

The famous battle of guarding the capital in history books began.
