When Spring Comes - Chapter 216
Yu Wenjie was silent. Military power has always been the most important thing. He has been thinking of ways to centralize power for so many years in his reign, but the implications are so extensive that it is not something that can be accomplished overnight.
“Where is Huo Zi Chong people?”
“It’s near the gate of Yanjing.” He Changan frowned, “Lord Xi’s people seem to want to go to Beijing, but with so many people, at most 3,000 people will come in a day. As long as the affairs in the palace are calmed down as soon as possible. Going down, your majesty can prevent his troops from continuing to approach Yenching.”
“Oh?” Yu Wenjie raised his eyebrows: “Why is the marching speed so slow?”
Judging from the current situation, Yuwenxi must let them come as soon as possible.
He Chang’an smiled: “The place where the king Xi sent troops is the ice cave, did the emperor forget? There is a mountain road at the exit of the ice cave, which goes around the mountain, and only one person can pass through at a time. Even if they use running, it only lasts a day. More than three thousand people can come out.”
The emperor suddenly said, “I didn’t pay attention to the place you arranged for the troops. I can think of the ice cave, which is not bad.”
It’s just that if Yu Wenxi regards that place as his own territory, it would be a little troublesome.
“This is the idea that Concubine De concubine thought.” He Changan smiled: “She said that the defensive heart is indispensable. It seems that it is correct. Now that Prince Xi wants to make big moves, it will be more or less restricted.”
It turned out to be Huachun’s idea? The emperor pursed his lips and turned his head to look at him: “When did she tell you?”
“A long time ago.” He Changan paused: “Qing Niao is here.”
In this way, the emperor turned his head and continued to move forward. I don’t know if it was his illusion. I always felt that there was the aroma of winter plum in his breath, but He Changan didn’t bring a sachet today.
The palace was chaotic. The emperor and He Changan were divided into two groups at the fork. One went to one side, each with a thousand people. From both sides to the middle, all the guards on the road were disarmed and taken away. It counted as 800 people. Multiple looking very honest guards.
Adhering to the principle of never letting go of the mistakes, the emperor returned them all to the barracks, and then the people brought by He Changan temporarily replaced them on duty.
This tossing took a lot of effort, and the emperor and He Changan were so busy that they could hardly get out of their bodies.
Huachun and Qing Niao played Dou Dizhu seriously in the inner temple. Although their hearts were still hanging, they had nothing to do anyway, at least they seemed to be calm.
“Stop!” The guard’s voice suddenly sounded outside the door, Huachun was startled, and immediately got up to listen to the movement.
“The minion belongs to the Palace of Huiming. The empress dowager asks the minion to come and greet the concubine De concubine. By the way, the concubine De concubine is asked to go there, so that her elderly can feel at ease.”
Huachun raised her eyebrows and immediately waved to Qingniao and Rui’er. The three moved separately and locked the windows next to the hall.
The guard at the door was silent for a while, probably looking at the waist card, and then said: “Sorry, the emperor placed Empress De consort here. The door is locked and the humble servants cannot open it. The key is with the emperor.”
The palace man was stupid, and Huachun couldn’t help but smile: “He is really smart enough.”
Locked her inside and took the key away, so who can take her away?
Qing Niao couldn’t help clapping his hands, and then listened to the eunuch: “The door is locked, isn’t there a window?”
Huachun grumbled back to him: “The windows are also locked.”
Eunuch: “…”
Someone soon came to the window, and he pulled his hand to make sure that he couldn’t open it. Then he said, “Isn’t this going to make the empress boring?”
The guard outside shook his head: “The emperor’s orders, the lowly officials have no right to intervene.”
After being silent for a while, the **** whispered something, turned around the hall for several times before giving up, turning his head and leaving.
According to the original plan, as long as they took advantage of the chaos to catch Concubine De, they would basically win more than half this time. But…who ever thought the emperor would do this? It’s impossible to get the Concubine De concubine out with a high-sounding method, and then only Ming grabbing.
As the setting sun went down, seeing the palace finally restored normal order, the people who had taken the palace were also being tracked down, but the emperor was scared to death by a news before he could relax.
“The emperor, in the battle on the outskirts of Beijing, the king of Chu won a big victory and led people to the city gate.”
“What?” Yu Wenjie frowned: “There are seven to eight thousand vassal kings stationed in the suburbs of Beijing, and the total number of soldiers with them should be 30,000 or 40,000. You can’t stop the strength of King Chu alone?”
The soldier who came to report was speechless, and the emperor had a sullen expression on his face for a while before he said to He Changan: “Let the people guard the city gate and order all the troops near Yanjing to be transferred.”
“Yes.” He Changan conveyed the order, then turned his head and said: “Does the emperor think this is a problem of military strength? With so many people, can’t beat a King of Chu?”
“I don’t dare to think badly.” The emperor pursed his lips: “If these people have eaten Xiongxinbaozi and want to follow him in rebellion, my situation will be very difficult for a while, and it will be difficult to reverse.”
The relationship between the king and the emperor has always been pretty good, and there was nothing wrong with the previous conversation with the queen mother. Without reason, he would suddenly turn to each other. At most, he would be threatened, and then he would choose to watch the battle without trying his best to stop the king of Chu.
In any case, the Liang had to usher in the biggest battle for the throne after the change of dynasty.
Huo Zichong had 50,000 soldiers, and he was asking the deputy general to rush here, but the distant water was difficult to put out the nearby fire. The emperor in the capital could dispatch only about 20,000 people, and there were other vassals in the city. King Qin entered the city in the name of King Qin, and he would not retreat now, so the city gate was opened wide, and it would be difficult to carry the rescuers with twenty thousand people.
Yu Wenjie’s eyes were deep, he held the reins and thought for a while, then said: “Changan, you go out of the palace first, go to the city gate to guard, 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, what will you do to resist so many anti-thief?” With a sneer, Yu Wenjie turned his horse’s head and ran towards the Zichen Palace.
He Changan stayed in place, looking at the emperor’s handsome back, tut: “Our emperor is really a reliable and domineering monarch.”
The soldiers at the back nodded in admiration and agreed!
Huachun was sitting in the inner hall in a daze. He could not help hearing the sound of horses hoofs outside, and soon someone came up and unlocked the door of the hall.
“Are you back?” With bright eyes, Huachun hurriedly greeted him: “Is the matter in the palace resolved?”
“Solved.” The emperor nodded.
“That’s great.” Huachun applauded: “I don’t have to be bored here, right?”
“Yeah.” Pushing her shoulders and walking in, the emperor whispered: “You have to go to another place.”
