The Crown Prince in the Jade Pendant - Chapter 125

The defense of the capital was difficult. The five army camps, the three thousand battalions, and the Shenji battalion that once swept across the grassland were all annihilated. Even if Qin Yi made an emergency deployment, only a small part of the Japanese army could rush to the capital. Before the official army arrived, Qin Yi could only recruit militiamen from the capital. Young and middle-aged people from various households fought outside the city wall, and ordinary people handed stones and food in the city. Everyone knows that once the city is broken, no one has a way out, so all the luck is wiped out, and the whole people fight.

In the Forbidden City, the inner court was unable to participate in the actual combat outside, but it did not stand and wait for the results. Chu Jinyao successively ordered the reduction of harem expenses, and in the past few days, all the palace personnel have been assembled to make cold clothes for the sergeants outside. Concubines who are accustomed to enjoying the blessing are of course unwilling, but the right to speak is highly concentrated during the war. Xiao Qi is now in the Kunning Palace obediently. Even if these concubines are dissatisfied, they are just smashing their mouths in private, no one at all. Dare to come to Chu Jinyao and say.

The battle outside the city flew back to the imperial city like snow flakes, Wala was arrogant, and he wanted to break through the Deshengmen within two hours. Deshengmen was at the northernmost part of the capital. Now Wala is heading south, this is also the place where the guarding pressure is the greatest, so Qin Yi personally led the formation in Deshengmen. Wala failed to attack Deshengmen for a long time, and lost five thousand troops. The two younger brothers of Wala leader Timur were also killed by the Yan army. These two leaders who were killed in the battle were probably considered princes in the order of the Han people. Timur was heartbroken and suffered heavy losses at Deshengmen, so he turned to attack Xizhimen and was defeated. The Yan army won the two wars, and the confidence of the army and the people was shaken. In the subsequent Zhang Yimen battle, many people spontaneously threw stones to help each other and won again.

At the same time, the guards of Juyongguan stopped throwing rodents, fought **** the side, and fought with the subsequent Oala reinforcements for seven days and seven nights, and finally stopped the Oalas outside the customs. Tamerlane took 50,000 horses into the hinterland of the Central Plains, and lost a lot of troops during the siege. Follow-up reinforcements were also blocked by Juyongguan guards. At this moment, the troops of King Qin from all over the country will also arrive one after another. Timur sees that the situation is wrong. He finally admitted that it will probably take a few more years to reproduce the glory of the grassland people in the previous dynasty.

On November 15th, in the middle of the night, Wala took advantage of the night to leave the camp. The guards concealed on the city wall immediately discovered that something was wrong and reported it to the superior. Qin Yi acted decisively and asked the guards to launch artillery to chase Wala deserters. At this moment, the offensive and defensive camps were overturned, and the Yan army hurriedly, with advanced firearms to help out, killed the Wala army who had tried to retreat more than 10,000. Tamerlane fled to the northern base camp. On the 17th day of the 17th, at Zijing Pass, after another battle with the Yan army, he finally fled back to the grassland.

As for why the Great Wall Border Pass, which the Central Plains dynasty is proud of, makes people come and leave when they say they are, then they have to ask the emperor caught in the enemy’s army.

In fact, Wala originally just wanted to grab something while going south in the winter, and he didn’t plan to do anything. But who knows that the Yan army’s 300,000 elites, going back and forth in chaos in the camp, Timur took the opportunity to attack, not only did not say that he defeated the Yan army, but also Captured their emperor alive. Tamerlane found the emperor extremely difficult when he caught the emperor. Later, when he heard a Han military adviser, Timur realized that he could still coerce the emperor into the customs. If it were not for bad luck, they might be able to enter the capital of the Han to sweep around.

In the capital of the Han people, how much food, grass and brocade.

But now, when Timur looked at his badly injured army, the more he thought about it, the more unwilling he became. He calmly said, “Bring me that Chinese spy!”

Fang Pucun was pushed into the camp by a group of cavalry like iron towers. He was dressed in a blue gown, just like countless scholars rushing to take the exam. He looked at the thin and weak bones. He was a weak scholar who was taken to the Wala chief’s camp. Any soldier around him had arms thicker than his legs. It was conceivable that the opponent could take Fang Pucun’s life in an instant with a little effort. The situation was so unfavorable, Fang Pucun looked at him but didn’t have much fear, just because he was pushed over, he couldn’t help describing it as embarrassing.

“You treacherous Han!” Timur slapped the table vigorously. The brute force almost made people suspect that he was going to break the table. “Say, are you the spy sent by the prince, or why? Will you work with them to murder Ben Khan and break my warrior?”

Fang Pucun shook his head and smiled when he heard this. He lightly flicked the dust on his blue shirt. When the other cavalry saw that this Han Chinese dared to be so indifferent, his eyes suddenly became bigger than a cowbell, and he almost couldn’t control it. It’s rough.

Fang Pucun glanced at the cavalry’s movements and said coldly: “Sweat, if you want to make a comeback and seek a great cause, then you’d better let your subordinates behave a little.”

The cavalry in the tent became more excited when he heard this, Timur roared and drank these people back, and then looked at Fang Pucun with a calm face, “What did you say?”

“If I’m really the traitor of the Yan Dynasty prince, what I have to do now is to kill the emperor and let him succeed to the throne with a legitimate reason, chase you, etc., instead of standing here and wasting time with you.”

Timur could not understand the circles in this sentence, but instinctively thought this sentence was very important: “What do you mean?”

Fang Pucun snorted disdainfully, these brave and brave men with well-developed limbs, but thinking like this in his heart, Fang Pucun didn’t show it for the sake of his little life. He changed his way of expression and slowly said to Timur: “Khan, you have almost brought all the cavalry power of Vala here, and even the children of the 14th Five-Year Plan have been requisitioned, but the major general did not say anything. I didn’t grab anything. Sweating, are you really willing?”

Timur snorted coldly: “Of course Ben Khan is not reconciled. Are you sarcastic Ben Khan?”

“How dare you be here.” Fang Pucun, upholding the humility and politeness of a scholar, performed a Confucian etiquette to the foreign leader in front of him. Emperor, what are you afraid of?”

Before detaining the emperor, and threatening to open the gates of the border cities in the name of sending the emperor back to Beijing, including many subsequent interactions with the Yan Dynasty, they were all guided by Fang Pucun. Tamerlane looked down on the treacherous and cunning Han people, but was very convinced of the mysterious Han soldier who came to defect to him. Tamerlane gave up the idea of ​​killing Fang Pucun and asked sincerely: “Then what do you want to do? “

It can only be said that Han people know Han people best. The Han family respected the art of war and strategy, and the weaving of the scriptures and the tactics were endless. This kind of profound power scheming seemed shameless to foreigners, but if it was used by the Hans who defected to foreigners, this kind of mentality would be equally destructive to the Central Plains dynasty. of.

Since Timur had caught the emperor with all his beards and tails, he was also embarrassed by the emperor in front of him. The Great Yan Dynasty is the suzerain country. For many years, the Hehe Jiwei has been engraved in the hearts of the surrounding nations. Tamerlane often robbed Yanchao for food, but he was limited to running away if he robbed it. If he went again next time, Timur did not dare to ask him to do something more.

Therefore, he was also very embarrassed to the emperor. He could only continue to eat and wear a lot of clothes. As for what to do in the future… Besides, it is definitely impossible for the Yan Dynasty to let the king of the dynasty be a “guest” outside for too long.

From Timur’s point of view, he left the emperor at a distance, eating and wearing clothes, and lived better than most of his subjects, which was interesting enough. But in the eyes of the emperor, this is abuse.

Fang Pucun straightened his clothes, and after walking into the camp in front of him, his expression suddenly became earnest: “Your Majesty, you have suffered!”

The emperor was held captive for more than half a month, and everything he experienced during the half month was even more terrifying than the sum of his previous forty years. The courtiers around him are almost dead. The very trustworthy Grandpa Liu was also killed on the spot by an angry sergeant. He lives alone in a foreign race, and his treatment has plummeted. There is no caring person around him who serves him. Not working. Suddenly seeing a Han face, the emperor immediately felt close to each other Pu Cun: “Who are you and why are you here?”

Fang Pucun respectfully bowed down: “The minister is here to save your majesty.”

The emperor had been bumped for so long and was frightened. He was very emotional when he saw the familiar kneeling ceremony again, and he was very cordial. The emperor personally helped Fang Pucun up: “You are really a virtuous minister! When I return to the court, I will never treat you badly.”

“Your Majesty. Your Majesty. Your Majesty is now lying beside Timur and persuading him to send you back to the court. Your Majesty, you only need to wait patiently. Presumably, soon, the Ministry of Etiquette will send a guard of honor to take you back to Beijing.”

The emperor had been frightened for so long. Hearing these words was really pleasant to his ears, he stroked his palms and said, “This is great! Don’t let me wait too long.”

“The minister follows the decree.”

Fang Pucun folded his hands in front of him, so he bowed backwards to the outside of the emperor’s camp. After closing the camp, Fang Pucun looked at the lead-clouded sky, revealing an unspeakable magnificence in the gloom. He whispered to himself: “It’s going to change.”

In the Forbidden City a hundred miles away, Shang Shu, the newly appointed Ministry of Rites, sent a letter with a tangled expression: “His Royal Highness, this is a peace agreement from Wala.”

Proposal and book.

Many people are peeking at Qin Yi’s face, trying to make a guess, but they must be disappointed. Qin Yi’s face was as usual, and he didn’t even pause for a moment, as if what the Ministry of Rites presented was a normal folder. Qin Yi took it and glanced, and the brows moved lightly.

The lion spoke loudly, they really dare to say.

The newly promoted Book of Rites obviously also knew that the conditions in the Yihe Book were too shameless. He lowered his eyes and counted the bricks on the floor of the Wenhua Hall, not daring to raise his head nor scream.

Qin Yi’s knuckles knocked on the corner of the simple and elegant sandalwood table. Uncharacteristically, he did not give the order of “OK” or “No”. Instead, he said meaningfully: “Look at the writing and writing of this letter of agreement. Is it a scholar.”

The few officials staying in the hall were stunned, and Qin Yi sneered and threw the Yihe Shu on the table: “A big Yan, a scholar who studied the Four Books and Five Classics from the primary school of Confucianism and Mencius.”

In the Ciqing Palace, Chu Jinyao was also receiving a passionate wife.

Qin Yi led the Yan Dynasty to defend the capital despite the loss of 300,000 elites, and later turned defeat into victory. Guangwala retreated and killed more than 10,000 people that night. For the subjects of the Yan Dynasty, whose confidence in the whole people was shaken by storms, the prince was like a **** who came to the world to turn the tide, including Chu Jinyao who nearly died in martyrdom before, and later reduced the palace expenditure to support the military and civilians in the city. These moves are all Greatly inspired the hearts of the people. Nowadays, the people in the capital do not worship gods and Buddhas, but only worship the prince and princess of the East Palace.

Once the saint was faint and didn’t love governance, the ministers put their hopes on the young prince. This is actually a kind of sustenance that is really impossible, but now, Qin Yi is truly what the people want, and the whole country is looking forward to his ascending the throne as emperor.

Because of this difficult battle to defend the capital, the noble families in the capital, whether scholars or military commanders, commented very well on Chu Jinyao, and handed the sign to the palace every day. After all, Chu Jinyao was still a pregnant woman, and she couldn’t bear to meet too many people, so today only Chu Jinxian and the people from Changxing Houfu came in to talk.

Changxing Hou, because of his special status, was not easy to go to the battlefield with his younger generations to grab merits, so he didn’t follow the emperor’s personal enlistment. Who would know that he was a blessing in disguise instead. When guarding the capital, all nine gates in the outer city must have masters. Changxinghou is a rare surviving military commander who has both leading and actual combat experience. When this kind of green and yellow is not available, he is really rare, so he is assigned to one time. Waiting for important gates, he also successfully defended the city gates during the Wala attack.

The most important city gate is Qin Yi personally guarding, and the most difficult battlefield is also with him. Qin Yi withstood the first and most intense wave of offensive in Wala. The first battle was successful, and the hearts of the people were greatly lifted. The next few gates They are much easier to guard. Changxing Hou also used this strength to defend Dongzhimen and made great contributions in the defense war.

Therefore, the identities of the two foreign relatives in the capital have been reversed at once. The natal town of the two queens’ family in Beihou’s residence is closed. If it weren’t for the prince’s face, the Qi’s family and the crossing mouse would be no different, and the prince’s maiden’s family Changxing Houfu made the top contributors in this battle. The attitude of the people can be imagined.

During this period of time, everyone in the Changxing Hou Mansion walked with wind, and Duan Yinghua also enthusiastically said about the state of the family during the war: “… During the two days of the siege, the family was terrified, but fortunately, it was a false alarm. It’s hard to rejuvenate the nation. Now the prince and the prince’s concubine are verbally praised in the capital. If the prince successfully welcomes his majesty later, then the prince will have made a remarkable achievement…

As Duan Yinghua was speaking, she suddenly noticed that the atmosphere was not right. She seemed to stop talking. Seeing Chu Jinyao lower her head to coax Lu brother, she didn’t seem to hear what she was talking about. And Chu Jinxian also sat aside, her eyes lowered slightly, her eyes complicated.

In the face of danger, he was ordered to turn the tide, and if he succeeded in welcoming and saving the emperor later, then as a son and courtier, Qin Yi did nothing but perfection, and his credit has reached the limit.

However, Qin Yi is not just a courtier, he is also a crown prince. Therefore, the problem of Song Gaozong and Zhao Gou once again came to Qin Yi and Chu Jinyao. When Chu Jinyao first read the history books, he also felt that Zhao Gou used twelve gold medals to summon Yue Fei back to Beijing. It was really ignorant and cowardly. But now, in the face of Wala’s negotiation, the courtiers eagerly welcome the emperor to return to Beijing. Chu Jinyao was suddenly speechless.

The author has something to say: There is no intention to wash away Zhao Gou and Qin Hui. Yue Fei was holding three-fifths of the troops in the Southern Song Dynasty. His army was called the Yuejia Army, and he had a huge reputation among the civilians and the army. Zhao Gou As an emperor, it is understandable to be vigilant, but I still feel that it is a short-sighted thing for him to give Yue Fei to death.

Alas, at this point, everyone should be able to guess what will happen next. We always look forward to saviors and heroes, but there is no room for heroes in this world.

At this point, the full text has entered the final climax. In fact, I was just writing the ending today. When I was proofreading this chapter, I felt and wrote these words. We can only accompany Chu Jinyao and Qin Yi on the last part of the journey. See you tomorrow~
