When Spring Comes - Chapter 223
In order to ensure efficiency and morale, Lord Xi also led the troops personally, chasing He Chang’an all the way.
On the bright side, the emperor really only has He Changan and Huo Zichong to rely on, so there is nothing wrong with chasing He Changan, but Yu Wenxi is too arrogant. He forgets that there are many heroes besides soldiers and people in this big Liang Jiangshan. The emperor has reigned for a few years, the country is peaceful, the weather is good, and there has not been any major incident that aroused public anger. Why was he expelled from the throne?
As a result, rebels rose up in Shannan, Shandong and other places, and launched a vigorous uprising in the name of protecting the emperor. Rushed to the capital from all over the place, threatening to be a king of hardship.
These rebels were nothing more than peasants, and Yu Wenxi didn’t pay attention to it at all, and focused on dealing with He Changan and Huo Zichong, so that everyone around them ignored the situation of the rebels and failed to report them in time.
The rebels changed from a few hundred to a few thousand in just a few days. Yu Wenxi didn’t know that when he changed from a few thousand to 10,000 and occupied Yanjing, he slowly got the news and thought Zhan Shui was joking.
“At this moment, ten thousand people? Are all farmers occupying Yanjing?” He smiled: “Are you still not awake?”
Zhan Shui looked serious, and shook his head seriously: “It’s true.”
After a long pause, Yu Wenxi came back to his senses and hurriedly summoned the generals to discuss new tactics.
“What should we do? Shall we continue to congratulate Chang’an or return to Beijing?” He asked.
The generals on the scene are all experienced combatants, but unfortunately, they are of no use, because Yu Wenxi is self-controlling. Even if he doesn’t understand command and combat, he doesn’t like to listen to others’ opinions. Every time he asks, he just looks like. Let people do what they say.
Therefore, several generals actually regretted this situation today, so why did they follow the Lord Xi? He is not good at fighting at all.
While it was still too late, a general appeared to help Lord Xi, but secretly began to contact He Chang’an, betraying the marching news and strategic deployment here, just to have a way to survive after the defeat of Lord Xi.
At the same time, the Queen Mother also returned to the palace and met with a few veterans. After saying something, the veterans sent to the court. Almost overnight, the news that the prince Xi was not a prince spread throughout Yanjing.
This can be regarded as a turnaround. No one thought that Prince Xi’s plan would eventually be ruined by this matter. He was already unable to convince the public, and the people’s and military’s minds collapsed overnight.
He Changan succeeded in meeting Huo Zichong, and with the help of King Qi, he fought back, fought a battle with Prince Xi, and rushed back to the capital like a broken bamboo.
“Lord who can’t do this.” Zhan Shui said anxiously, “We can’t beat them.”
“How is it possible!” Yu Wenxi was extremely unconvinced: “We have an army of 40,000, but we can’t beat others’ 30,000?”
“It’s the problem of the military’s mind.” A lieutenant whispered: “The military’s mind is scattered, no matter how many people are, it’s useless.”
“Absurd!” Yu Wenxi snorted coldly: “If the order goes on, kill one enemy and reward one or two silvers. If you don’t believe that morale can’t rise!”
The lieutenant glanced at him in shock, then chose to remain silent.
Let’s not say whether the morale gained from the pile of silver has a universal effect, even if it does, how much silver does Prince Xi have to withstand such a squandering?
After Huo Zichong’s injury improved and he was able to lead troops, He Changan quietly returned to Yanjing with a guard.
Don’t underestimate the rebels, Yenching was firmly guarded, except for the emperor’s personal guards, no army could get close. He took the guard and proved his identity many times before he was put into the palace.
Is the atmosphere in the capital a bit weird? He Changan wondered, didn’t the common people want the emperor to hand over the concubine De? In the blink of an eye, people living and working in peace, there were even people on the street praying for God to bless the emperor.
The hearts of the people became really fast enough.
Sending someone to inquire about the situation, the humanity who came back said: “It is said that the Queen Mother said that Prince Xi is not the prince and cannot sit on the throne. This time, the Qing Dynasty also made it clear that he wanted to subvert the Liangjiangshan, so the people in the capital and the remaining officials Unite as one to stop Lord Xi.”
What? He Changan was shocked by the news, and hurriedly entered the palace to the Zichen Hall, opened the authentic organs, and wanted to find the emperor.
I thought it would take a day to bury Longshan from the tunnel, but I heard Empress De concubine’s laughter within two steps.
“Tell you a joke. Xiao Ming was named a three-good student. The teacher said that you are the first to go up to receive the award. You must be sensible and polite. Xiao Ming said that he knew it, so when he received the award, he went up and kneeled. I knocked three heads to the principal hahaha…”
The emperor looked at her calmly: “Isn’t it really polite to knock your head? What’s so funny? Also, what is a Miyoshi student?”
The smile froze on her face, Hua Chun curled her lips, sat upright and sighed: “The ancients really didn’t understand the smile of modern people. The three-good students are just… a name for encouraging people to be good everywhere. ”
“That’s it.” Nodding solemnly, the emperor said: “Wait when you go out, I will also make you a three-good student.”
“I refuse!” Huachun folded her hands in front of her, and gave him an “X”: “That’s a description of a child.”
Tilting his head for a moment, the emperor said, “Then give it to the child in your stomach.”
Huachun: “…”
He Changan stood at the door, looking at the room in surprise. He didn’t expect such a dark place to be so cozy. There was a wall lamp on the wall, a few trays of snacks were on the table, and candles were lit. The Emperor and Concubine sat on the bed, cuddling each other, looking like they were stealing half a day.
After a long pause, he said: “Although I don’t want to be disturbed, but the emperor, your vacation should be over.”
Both Huachun and Yuwenjie were taken aback. The former immediately sat up on his knees and looked at He Changan excitedly: “Second brother can come, it means we have room to turn over, right?”
Yuwen licked his lips, and he didn’t seem to be pleased at all. He just stared at He Changan quietly.
“The empress is smart.” He Changan sighed: “Although the current situation is chaotic, the emperor only needs to sit in Yanjing again, and we have won more than half of it.”
“Then dare to love it!” Huachun dragged Yu Wenjie’s arm and walked out: “I’m so tired of eating dry food, let’s go back to the palace.”
The emperor asked her faintly: “There is no peace in the palace, so don’t you miss it at all?”
“I’m quite suitable here.” Huachun said: “A little sunshine would be better. You can live for a few years, but you are different.”
She turned her head and looked at him seriously and said, “You are the emperor who wants to rule the world.”
