However, when Kyoto was stormed, I suddenly realized that I still had little to predict the brutality of war.

If the blueprints were provided to Shengyao earlier, a large number of repeaters would be built. Then you won't be helpless at this point. At this moment, even if the drawings are handed over to the queen, it is too late.

When the time was right, Wu Shanghua came.

She had changed her men's attire, with her black hair tied up in a purple and gold crown on top of her head. As soon as he entered the hall, he said directly to the queen: "Queen Mother, if you don't leave at this time, when will you stay?"

The queen calmly asked, "Where are you going?" and why are you leaving?"

Wu Shanghua seemed to have heard something funny, his face was full of surprise, and he said loudly: "Naturally, while the rebels have not yet attacked the city, hurry out of the city to hide?

The queen stared at her for a long time. After a while, Fang slowly instructed Ye Shangyi, who had gone and returned: "Go and pass on breakfast." The main palace saw that everyone was tired, and it was already past the time for dinner. ”

Wu Shanghua walked a few steps to the queen, and when he leaned over, the light armor on his body made a rustling sound, and he persuaded: "The courtier's daughter-in-law originally felt that she should live and die with the people of the city. However, the elder brother was right, the fate of the father, the emperor, the mother, and the courtiers and daughters-in-law were so noble! For the sake of long-term planning, in order to be foolproof, you and your father and the emperor should first take the courtiers, brothers-in-law, brothers and sisters out of the city for the time being!"

Seeing that the queen was unmoved, she said: "The minister's daughter-in-law has brought all the generals of the General's Mansion, and she will definitely be able to keep her father and mother safe." The daughter-in-law's brother said that if you go from the West View Gate, you can get rid of the rebels. If you march all the way, you can quickly take refuge in Qizhou and wait for His Highness to bring troops back for help. ”

I lowered my eyes and instantly understood the queen's feelings: the tiger girl of the gate, but Er'er.

Seeing Wu Shanghua's eyes widen and looking at the empress with an angry look, I couldn't help but ask lightly: "What if the rebels track down to Qizhou City? The crown princess feels that Qizhou City is more stable and easier to defend than the city walls of Kyoto? Or can the material reserves in Qizhou City be more than those in Kyoto City?"

She froze.

However, he sneered in a moment: "Brother Bengong said that my father has sent people to break out of the siege to ask His Highness and the Yong'an Jiedu envoy for help, and he has also transferred troops to the surrounding prefectures and counties." Waiting in Qizhou City, reinforcements will arrive soon. ”

I said indifferently: "Then it is even more important to stick to Kyoto first and fight against the rebels with the soldiers and civilians of Mancheng." If we can hold on to Kyoto for one more day, we will be fighting for one more day for getting support as soon as possible! If we can really hold on to Kyoto for a few more days, then it will be the right time to go to Qizhou again!

Wu Shanghua twisted his eyebrows and was about to get angry, but he held back very strangely and sat down without saying a word. The queen glanced at her, but didn't bother to pay attention. Ruan Liangdi and Su Su naturally won't be bored. Suddenly there was silence in the hall.

Fortunately, the palace people rushed in at this time and served breakfast.

Where did the people have the heart to eat, but they just used some toilet indiscriminately.

Outside, there was an inner waiter who said: "Concubine Qu Niangniang and Princess Yongjia are here." ”

The queen sat up, "Come in quickly." ”

After a while, Concubine Qu and Yongjia entered the palace together, and when the queen gave a seat, Yongjia couldn't wait to say: "Erchen received an urgent letter from his father in the early morning that the palace garrison was transmitted, and he had already asked the concubine to take the soldiers of the princess's mansion to the city gate to participate in the battle. The old servant who came back said that the city city is now united and has repelled several waves of attacks from the rebels!"

The queen smiled and said: "That's good! Yongjia is worthy of being the eldest daughter of the emperor, this is the royal demeanor that is not chaotic in the face of danger." ”

Yongjia also smiled: "Yongjia thanked the queen mother for her appreciation. However, at this time, the most royal person in Kyoto City is not the son, it should be the seventh brother!"

Wu Shanghua sneered and said: "He is a prince who was almost deposed as a concubine, but in fact, he is a prisoner imprisoned by his father, who turned his back on the orthodoxy of Great Qi and was abandoned by the abolished prince, what style can he speak of?

Yongjia glanced at her indifferently and chuckled, "The crown princess has only been married to the royal family for a few months, so she can assert who can represent the royal family?"

Wu Shanghua's face suddenly turned red and white, and he stood up and glared at Yongjia, "You-"

The queen said at the right time: "Hua'er! You didn't eat much, and you went and ate more. She turned to Yongjia and asked, "How is King Wei?"

Yongjiali got up and bowed and sat down again, and said with a smile: "After the son and mother of the minister, the old servant who came back from the city gate said that after the seventh brother was lifted by his father, he took a group of soldiers to Kyoto Simen to shout at the rebels and reprimanded him. Later, he has been leading the army and civilians to defend the gatehouse, very brave, and the first soldier. Several waves of attacks were repelled by the Seventh Brother Leader!"

The queen looked at me and sighed, "You are right. It was my villain's heart before. King Wei is really good this time!"

I said calmly: "As a prince, you naturally need a chance to prove yourself. The father and mother were generous, regardless of the past suspicions, and gave him this trust, and he naturally tried to repay it. ”

Yongjia sighed: "Not all imperial brothers have this heart. The abolished prince is the same as the son of his father, and he has always been favored by his father. But once one's own interests are touched, it will be a sword and a soldier meeting in an instant, and there will be no humanity, morality, and virtue! It will even lead wolves into the house, and the smoke of gunpowder will spread everywhere, stirring up no peace in the world!"

Wu Shanghua sneered: "This kind of person should be killed." ”

Yongjia turned his head to look at her, and asked with a smile: "I don't know if the soldiers of General Huben Mansion can go to the city tower to resist the enemy? Wu Jiu Gongzi is ambitious, and he should have already held one side of the four gates, right?"

Wu Shanghua rolled his eyes and said solemnly: "The personal soldiers of General Huben's Mansion, but good steel should be used on the steel blade." Naturally, he wanted to protect his father and mother closely. Is there anything more important than protecting me, the crown princess of Daqi? Even if the city is broken, it will only lose the lives of some people, and where can it compare to the lives of those of us in the royal family. ”

When Yongjia heard this, he couldn't hide his surprise. Involuntarily looked at the queen, who lowered her eyes and covered the gloom and dissatisfaction in her eyes.

Concubine Qu didn't hold back, "The crown princess is wrong." It is necessary to know that the people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light. This is the national policy that I have long established. It is precisely because of this that we can win the hearts of the people and reassure the world. Although the crown princess is young, she must know this truth! Let alone speak falsely, lest she be laughed at and generous. It's even more embarrassing for the royal family. ”

Wu Shang Huateng stood up, his hand on the saber at his waist. The queen was about to speak, Wu Shanghua took a deep breath, and sat down silently as just now. It's just that this time the gloomy and forbearant look on his face is more obvious.
