When Spring Comes - Chapter 221

The emperor frowned: “If I bring soldiers back to the palace, the situation at the city gate will be even more difficult, and I will not be able to leave, unless I can’t stand it at all, then I will withdraw to the palace.”

Stubborn! He Changan shook his head. The emperor was too stubborn, and he refused to be a bit more enlightened every time. He always had to stay until the end, which greatly increased his own risk factor.

However, it is precisely because of him that every battle always has a good result.

With a long sigh, He Changan recognized and continued to follow the emperor’s defense.

As soon as the prince’s troops joined, even if there was an emperor at the gate of the city, he could not hold on for two days. The difference in the number of people was too great. Yuwenjie had to take the soldiers to rush out for the last wave, driving the enemy back half a mile, and then Back to Yenching, closed the city gate, and took the defenders to the palace.

The situation in the palace was still unclear, but Prince Xi did not intend to entangle the emperor more. When the emperor entered the palace, he retreated and took the queen mother out of the palace.

“Lord Xi is so filial?” He Changan was a little surprised: “Will you take the Queen Mother?”

Yu Wenjie didn’t understand why he had to take the queen mother away. Maybe he was afraid that the queen mother would be used to threaten him? It was too much thinking, it was his biological mother after all.

He returned to the palace and counted the remaining soldiers. He now has only these 6,000 people around him. It should be no problem to guard the palace for a day or two. And because of the battles of the past few days, these soldiers have been convinced by him and their morale is extremely high. Can top three, it’s still safe for the time being.

But, why is there still no news about reinforcements?

“The emperor!” Duke Qin hurried in and said, “There is a letter from General Huo!”

Yuwenjie was taken aback for a moment, and quickly got up to take the letter and opened it to look at it.

He Changan stood aside, looking at the solemn expression on the emperor’s face, with a bad premonition in his heart.

“what happened?”

Gathering the letter paper and burning it in a palace lantern, the emperor said solemnly: “Zichong really encountered an ambush, and now he is blocked by the people of the prince Xi and can only make a detour. The advantage is that the detour will pass through the Qi king’s fief, which can convince Qi. The king borrows soldiers, but the downside is that we have to keep it for another five days.”

“This…” He Changan frowned: “It’s really difficult.”

“There is no other way.” The emperor took a deep breath: “Just watch, as long as I am alive in five days, then Lord Xi should die.”

Although it seems that Lord Xi has a better chance of victory.

The gate of Yanjing city was broken, and Yu Wenxi officially raised the flag to rebel, and attacked the palace in the name of Qing emperor.

The common people can’t understand, why do you want to clear the monarch side? There have never been any wicked courtiers around the emperor.

The prince Xi proclaimed to the world:

“De Fei Hua Clan, formerly known as Hua Jinghua, was the former prime minister. The emperor was bewitched by him and concealed his identity as a woman. He seized the opportunity of beheading to make waves and make waves in the harem. He also controlled the government and was lawless. This king cannot make the emperor with admonishment. Sober, you can only use force to let the emperor understand that beauty is a disaster, and you can’t stay too much! If the emperor is willing to surrender the Hua clan and beheaded in the street, the king is willing to retreat and reclaim the court. If the emperor is unwilling, the king can only conquer the palace. , With Zheng Yuwen Jiangshan!”

This document seemed very reasonable, and it caused an uproar among the people all over the world. The prime minister of flowers who has assisted the emperor for so long, then the prime minister of flowers beloved by the people is actually a woman?

For a moment, the defenders and literati everywhere were not calm, and they wrote articles reprimanding Hua Jinghua for bewitching the emperor, deceiving the world, and plotting wrongdoing.

Literati’s pen was very useful in ancient times, because articles are the only thing that can be circulated, equivalent to modern news, so the people who are unknown here are instantly a little angry, how can women go to court, how can they be respected How can the emperor control the government for so long?

The people who had been very supportive of the emperor turned their backs for a while, and then were led by someone with a heart, they blocked the gate of the palace one after another, asking the emperor to hand over Huajinghua.

“It’s ridiculous!” He Changan frowned: “He only has a piece of paper and there is no evidence, so the people will believe it?”

“Otherwise?” Anticipating that Yu Wenxi would use Huachun as an excuse early in the morning, the emperor’s reaction was much calmer: “People are ignorant and won’t pursue the truth. People say it. He issued such a document, Hua Jinghua’s crime was destined for a lifetime. I can’t clean it.”

Rumors are fierce, even if Hua Jinghua did a lot of good things before, no matter how good she was to the people, as long as she made a mistake, the people would forget all her goodness and unanimously blame it. This is popular support.

“Can we do nothing?” He Changan gritted his teeth: “Just let them slander Jinghua like this?”

Taking a look at him, Yu Wenjie said: “This is not a slander, it is basically a fact, but she did not control the government. It is useless to explain it like this. What Yu Wenxi wants is the name of a teacher, and Huachun just gave it to That’s it for him.”

He Changan frowned: “But they said that the concubine De concubine deceived the monarch, and this charge is too serious for the concubine…”

The emperor was silent, thought about it, and looked at He Changan seriously: “I think they are right. I am indeed bewitched.”

What? He Chang’an was taken aback for a moment, and then he felt a little angry. How could the emperor say so, this is…

“I’m so bewildered, I haven’t seen you for a few days now, and I’m almost sick.” Yu Wenjie added the second half of the sentence slowly, with deep eyes and a gentle tone.

He Changan: “…”

His grandmother was unsuspectingly numbed with goose bumps! The emperor is not in this style. When did he start to talk love words? !

Turning his head to see He Changan’s appearance of being struck by lightning, the emperor curled his lips in a very good mood, and then stood up and said: “Everyone has issued documents, and our edict is handed over to you, no need to mention the matter of Concubine De. , Just indicate the rebellious intentions of Lord Xi.”

“…Yes.” He Changan responded, shaking his robe and stood up, and glanced at the gloomy sky outside.

He had a bad feeling that even if the emperor was the reincarnation of the God of War, with 6,000 people, he could not resist the tens of thousands outside the palace for long.

The emperor’s edict went down, and he denounced Prince Xi for passing on the fictitious ambitions of the son to cover up the ambition of treason. The two sides officially started war, and the people of Yanjing fled. All the shops on the street were closed. In just one day, except for the soldiers, no one could be seen. .

Relying on the large number of people, Yu Wenxi directly launched a siege on the palace, not only from the main entrance, but also from various palace walls. Because they are familiar with the layout and weaknesses of the palace, it is very easy for the people on Lord Xi’s side to conquer the palace. Even if there are three soldiers in the palace, he can’t take four to fight one, and he can clean up properly. Of the defenders.

“What to do?” The lieutenants were anxious, and surrounded the emperor and said: “The emperor must be safe, but we can continue to stay and guard.”

He Changan said: “It’s already the situation like this. There is little difference between the emperor’s presence and absence, so the minister urged the emperor to leave the palace and save his life.”

Yu Wenjie asked: “I only need to live, right?”

Everyone nodded.

So the emperor packed up his things and took Duke Qin to the Zichen Palace.

This tunnel was cultivated when he succeeded to the throne, just to prepare for the situation today. It should be easy for him to survive. No one would know if he would spend a few days at Burial Longshan. Even if the palace is broken, they won’t find him.

However, the development of things was a little beyond his imagination.
