Chapter 341: Soldiers Approaching the City (1)
The army is at the foot of the city, the country will not be the country, the traitors are in panic all day long, and the women in the harem are sad and weeping for the future they can't see.
The harem women in troubled times can't control their own life and death. The emperor dotes on them, and they become beautiful for a few days. When the emperor despises them and they have no children, they can only be trampled on.
Xie Wanyu looked at the terrified appearance of the palace people, and raised her brows upside down: "What are you panicking about? What's the use of panicking? If Rong Xia calls in, you stay in the room honestly, don't run around, don't think about other things." , with Rong Xia's personality, she will definitely not kill you."
"Bitch!" Jiang Luo suddenly strode in from the door, and he slapped Xie Wanyu's face with a slap in the face, with a ferocious expression: "Are you so expecting me to lose?"
Jiang Luo slapped him so hard that Xie Wanyu was knocked to the ground, his face turned red and swollen instantly.
"Your Majesty," Xie Wanyu's personal maid rushed to Xie Wanyu's side, turned around and kowtowed to Jiang Luo repeatedly, "Your Majesty is merciful, Your Majesty is merciful."
"If my father didn't force me to marry you back then, how could I fall in love with a woman like you?" Jiang Luo stepped forward and kicked Xie Wanyu's feet again, turned around and left angrily.
The palace people watched Jiang Luo leave silently, and then hurriedly helped Xie Wanyu up from the ground.
Xie Wanyu supported her red and swollen cheeks, and laughed out loud, as if this was a very enjoyable thing.
"Your Majesty," the close maid was a little frightened hearing this laughter, "What's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing, I'm in a very good mood," Xie Wanyu giggled, "Wait for me to wash up, I'm going to accompany the Queen Mother."
Although she does not have an official title, in front of the Queen Mother, all the concubines in the harem are not as respectable as her. So even though Jiang Luo was very dissatisfied with her, as long as the Queen Mother was around, he would have nothing to do with her.
Xie Wanyu knew in her heart that this was the queen mother's intention to save her life, otherwise why would the whole harem know about it. In fact, the Queen Mother doesn't like her, or the Queen Mother doesn't like her, and she doesn't like the Crown Princess either. It's just because the Queen Mother is a good person, and she can't bear the suffering of these harem women, so she has to act like this.
Xie Wanyu didn't understand why the Queen Mother raised a son like Jiang Luo.
Maybe follow the Supreme Emperor more?
Outside the city gates of the capital, the four gates in the southeast, northwest, and four gates were attacked by generals and soldiers, Rong Xia in the east, Ban Hua in the south, Du Jiu and Zhao Zhong in the west, and Shi Jin and Rong Xia's staff in the north.
"Shi Jin, you really turned your back on it." The general standing on the wall of the north gate looked at Shi Jin on horseback in disbelief, "Why did you do this?"
Seeing this man's horrified expression, Shi Jin suddenly felt that the scene in front of him was extremely ridiculous. These people clearly knew that he had no intention of rebelling, but they kept silent while Jiang Luo was persecuting Shi's family. Now seeing him leading troops to attack, Just pretending to be surprised.
Who are you going to show me like this?
He, Shi Jin, is not rare now.
"General Chen, don't be so surprised. The tyrant killed my father and persecuted my family. Didn't he already believe that I have betrayed?" Shi Jin drew out the weapon he was wearing, "If the king wants the minister to rebel, the minister has to rebel."
General Chen's heart trembled, the current fate of the Shi family is not bad, Shi Jin can't blame him for such a reaction, it can only be blamed on His Majesty for listening to the slander and chilling the hearts of the soldiers.
If it hadn't been for His Majesty's loss of popular support, how could the rebel army led by Rong Xia have fought from Zhongzhou to the capital in less than a year.
If the hearts of the people are gone, the Jiangshan dynasty will also be gone.
General Chen looked back at the soldiers behind him, feeling bitter. How could he have the heart to let his soldiers die in the hands of his own people, but his family is all in the hands of the tyrant. If he fought hard and angered Rong Xia, he would have no place to die when the city was broken.
How does this make him choose?
"General Chen, on the side of my lord Qingjun, anti-chaotic politics is the general trend. Why do you want to block the car with your arms and do unnecessary struggles?" Shi Jin was not in a hurry to attack the city. The way back?"
"General Chen is loyal and passionate, and Shi knows that. But Shi just wants to ask the general, are you worthy of the people of the world and your own conscience?"
If Du Jiu was present, he would definitely feel that this passage was somewhat familiar, because Rong Xia also said similar things when he asked Shi Jin.
General Chen held on to the city wall with his hands, but he couldn't give the order to shoot arrows.
Shi Jin's side is stuck with each other, while Rong Xia's side is facing a veteran. This veteran has silver hair and beard, standing on the city wall without speaking or giving orders, as if Rong Xia outside the city gate does not exist at all.
"My lord, what does this mean?" Rong Xia's deputy was puzzled.
"It's nothing interesting, no one should do anything without my order." Rong Xia knew that this veteran was once an old member of the Ban family. Later, after Marshal Ban was injured, this veteran's prestige in the army became higher and higher. It is said that Marshal Ban was not very popular when he was in the army, so for so many years, this veteran has had no contact with the Ban family.
The Ban family has not had much contact with the military generals in recent years. From the perspective of outsiders, that is the normal state of people taking tea to cool down, and there is nothing difficult to understand.
But from Rong Xia's point of view, this cup of tea cooled too quickly, so quickly that Rong Xia suspected that it was all made for Emperor Yunqing to see.
At the south gate, Ban Hua was riding on the back of a tall white horse. The sun shone on her body, and the silver armor reflected dazzling light. The person guarding the city gate was none other than King Changqing who had been beaten by them before. The other person surprised Ban Hua. There was an irreconcilable conflict between the Xie family and Jiang Luo. Luo also asked Xie Qilin to guard the city gate, which shows that there is indeed no one available in the capital.
"My good niece, as a girl, why don't you hide in the house to enjoy the flowers and listen to the music? You just want to come to this battlefield that belongs to men. I'm afraid the smell of blood will scare you," Changqing Wang dressed Prince Robe, with a frivolous look on his face, "It can be seen that Rong Xia doesn't treat you well, otherwise why would he want you to come to this kind of place? It's better to surrender quickly and let my cousin love you."
Xie Qilin, who was standing aside, frowned when he heard this, King Changqing's words were too much.
King Changqing didn't feel that there was anything wrong with what he said. He looked down at the woman in silver armor on the horseback: "If you don't listen to my uncle, my uncle can only teach you a lesson."
