Xiao Yuan led the troops to the battle, and An Ning stabilized the rear with Xiao Ying.

In the past two years, Xiao Yuan has managed Jiangnan very well, and his prestige among the people is also very high, coupled with the propaganda work in place, the people of Jiangnan have not been affected by the war in the slightest.

On the contrary, these people were very happy, and felt that His Majesty would definitely return victorious in this expedition, and it would not be long before he could take the entire Jiangbei.

And the capital at this time

Yinya sat in Luanhe Palace, she looked at Empress Dowager Zhang and said: "Sister, the Yellow River has burst its banks, Emperor Jianyuan has already led troops to call, at this juncture, you can't stand it, you don't need Dajing to call at all, the officials under my sister are about to open the city gate and surrender, why should my sister be so tough." ”

Empress Dowager Zhang had a gloomy face: "Yinya, I have taken care of you for many years of love between our sisters, but you always say these frustrating words to me, aren't you afraid that I will kill you." ”

Yinya smiled: "I'm not afraid, anyway, I've lived a good life for a few years, I've lived as a human being for so many years, and I'm already very satisfied, I just don't want my sister to always trap herself like this, sister, it's true that you are the queen mother, but what's the meaning of what the queen mother does?" The little emperor is not your son, even if you protect it again, you may not be close to you when you grow up in the future, and you also know how heroic Emperor Dajing is, the soldiers are strong and strong, the people's minds on your side have changed, the army is unstable, how can you resist it, and when the Dajing army enters the city, what should my sister do?"

Yinya approached the Empress Dowager Zhang and said softly: " Sister is the queen mother for a lifetime, but she is trapped under the sky of the four directions, and she is confined to this square inch for a lifetime, and she can't see the good world outside, but if you descend, it will be different, Emperor Dajing is benevolent, and he will never embarrass his sister, and his sister wants to be a knighthood, and if she wants to be a common man incognito, she will be free and easy in the future, isn't it much stronger than now, and besides, it is good for the people to surrender to my sister, sister, you know in your own heart that you can't govern this country and the world, and now Daqi is full of disasters and difficulties, and you don't have the ability to save the people from fire and water, why not hand over the country to Emperor Dajing, and hand over this burden to him to pick。 ”

Empress Dowager Zhang laughed: "I haven't seen you for so many years, but your mouth is getting more and more powerful." ”

At this time, a grandmother outside said loudly: "Queen Mother, Grandpa An is here." ”

"Let him in. ”

Empress Dowager Zhang said a word, and soon a tall and thin eunuch entered the door.

He came in and closed the door, walked up to Empress Dowager Zhang in a few steps, and reached out to hold her hand: "Zhen'er, are you okay?"

Empress Dowager Zhang shook her head: "I'm fine, I'm fine." ”

She pulled An Qingtai to sit down: "My sister is trying to persuade me to surrender, I'...... I hadn't thought about it like this before, but now I really have this thought. ”

An Qingtai smiled: "You make a decision, you have decided, I can do anything." ”

Yinya saw something.

She pursed her lips and smiled at the Empress Dowager Zhang, lowered her voice and said: " Sister, do you know, earlier the Zhang family gave me to Prince Duan to be the outer room, and then Prince Duan made a lot of trouble, which alarmed Queen Dajing, not only did she not embarrass me, but after knowing my affairs, she helped me, got a household registration for me and Brother Lan Sheng, gave us silver and left us, that is, Prince Duan, Queen Dajing helped suppress it, and this is the good life of me and Brother Lan Sheng in the past few years, sister, don't you want to live a bright life, aren't you like being an ordinary couple like Brother An？”

To be honest, Empress Dowager Zhang really moved her to what she said.

An Qingtai was also moved.

Empress Dowager Zhang's life was actually very difficult after entering the palace, at that time Concubine Li Guifei was favored, and the concubines in the palace had a very difficult time, and Empress Dowager Zhang also encountered many dangers, all of which An Qingtai helped her block.

An Qingtai and Empress Dowager Zhang are fellow villagers, and the two often played together when they were young, but after the family suffered a disaster, An Qingtai and Empress Dowager Zhang asked someone to buy it almost at the same time.

An Qingtai entered the palace as a eunuch, and Empress Dowager Zhang was sold to the Zhang family.

An Qingtai is an unusually intelligent person, and he is clever and fickle and vicious, after entering the palace, he worshiped the big eunuch as his father-in-law, and replaced the big eunuch in a few years, and became the chief eunuch used by Emperor Jingqing.

He has been operating in the palace for many years, and after Empress Dowager Zhang entered the palace, An Qingtai recognized her, and then used the power in his hand to protect her.

Over the years, the two of them have also huddled together in the palace to keep warm, and they have walked together through ups and downs.

Over time, a lot of emotions naturally arise.

But because of their identities, the two can't be together in a bright way.

Empress Dowager Zhang looked at An Qingtai, and then asked Yinya: "If we surrender, can Emperor Dajing spare our lives......?" Brother He'an also wants to hide in the countryside like you and Lan Sheng, living a life of sunrise and sunset, just like ordinary couples in this world. ”

Yinya smiled: "I can write to help you ask." ”

"Then you write quickly. ”

An Qingtai was very excited, and hurriedly found the paper and ink to urge the silver buds.

At this time, Dong Da had already taken people by sea and was about to arrive at Jinmen.

At that time, Xiao Yuan received a letter from the secret agent, and after he opened it and looked at it, he smiled: "What an opportunity to send it to the door." ”

He immediately repaired a book and asked people to take it to Jinmen and hand it over to Dong Da.

At the same time, Xiao Yuan replied to Yinya, saying that he could meet the requirements of Empress Dowager Zhang and An Qingtai, if they were willing to surrender, Xiao Yuan could help them stay incognito, find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers for them to live in the past, and Xiao Yuan could also help them adopt some children, and also let An Qingtai have an incense inheritance.

The letter was delivered to Yinya as quickly as possible.

Yinya handed the letter to Empress Dowager Zhang.

Empress Dowager Zhang finally made up her mind.

Her surrender was not entirely out of selfishness, but also largely out of public intentions.

Empress Dowager Zhang knew how painful it was for the people to be displaced when there was a disaster, and she also knew that neither she nor An Qingtai had the ability to deal with the flood.

They don't have the ability, but Xiao Yuan has the ability to solve these things.

For the sake of the people of the world and for herself, Empress Dowager Zhang finally made a decision.

Just when Dong Da set out from Jinmen to Chen Bing's capital, Empress Dowager Zhang took her younger brother to open the city gate to welcome Dajing's army out of the city.

Dong Da did not enter the city first, but reorganized the army outside the city, and then, Xiao Yuan came with his troops, and Empress Dowager Zhang took her younger brother to serve Xiao Yuan as the main and welcome him into the Beijing Division.

Since then, Xiao Yuan has truly achieved the unification of the world and incorporated the entire Jiangbei into his arms.

Xiao Yuan entered the capital, and sent people to various places to clean up some rebels and bandits, pacified Jiangbei by thunderous means, and entered the palace, issued an edict, decided to set the capital in the capital, and made Xiao Ying the crown prince.
