Chapter 844: The Rat Generation

In the palace.

The expression on Empress Xia's face can be called hideous.

Xia Yan returned from a big defeat this time, and he was reprimanded by Qi Jun and took the handsome seal. Let him think about it behind closed doors, but after Empress Xia took power, she found a reason, and gave Xia Yan an errand for the general defense of the capital, responsible for the security of Gyeonggi and protecting the gateway of the capital. This errand is usually an idle errand, and unless the enemy leads the crowd to attack the capital, it is impossible for this gateway to the capital to be shaken at all. Xia Yan thought that he had a great benefit, but he didn't want him to take over, and the capital was besieged, and he didn't know where the rebel troops were hiding before, they didn't besiege the city sooner or later, but he took over the general defense of the capital and immediately besieged the capital.

Xia Yan was still complacent before, but what if he Xia Yan suffered defeat? Now he is still in an important position.

Looking at Wei Chen again, he can only be idle at home.

It's good not to be held accountable by Qi Jun.

Everyone in the world says that Wei Chen is a genius and a ghost. He wanted to see how the genius who was not favored by the emperor could display his talent.

Compared with Wei Chen, even if he was reprimanded, he changed his errand after only a few days.

But before Xia Yan looked for an opportunity to show off in front of Wei Chen, he began to live a anxious life.

The will of the appointment has been made, and there is no reason to take it back, not to mention that Queen Xia can't find a second henchman except for Xia Yan.

Du Chun can be called highly respected, but he is a civil servant, and he doesn't know how to lead the troops to defend the city.

There are old ministers who have excerpts and suggest that the Chu family be enabled.

Whether it is Empress Xia or Qi Jun, they are unwilling to let the Chu family have a chance to make a comeback. If the Chu family is enabled this time, once the Chu family has made great contributions, they will have to be rewarded later, and what Qi Jun did to the Chu family before will become useless. Qi Jun is sick, only two or three hours a day is awake, in these two or three hours, half of him is used to scold Queen Xia, Queen Xia is now 'rough skin and thick meat', no matter what Qi Jun says ugly words, Queen Xia can sneer. Although Qi Jun was extremely angry, when the enemy attacked, he still had to go outside first, and then go inside.

Qi Jun didn't believe that he was short-lived.

He needs to endure the humiliation and look for opportunities to turn the tables. It will definitely make Queen Xia bow her head......

Therefore, after Qi Jun was tired of scolding, he still had to discuss with Queen Xia how to fight the enemy.

The leader of the judgment army in Huaiyang Province is a man surnamed Su. Qi Jun thought that this was just a trick by Qi Ling. It must be Qi Ling who is behind the plan. Empress Xia felt that when Qi Ling was in the capital, Huaiyang Dao was already in chaos.

Qi Ling is in the capital, if he can still control Huaiyang Dao. If he had such ability, how could he be easily detained in the capital.

If he had already rebelled, why did he need to come to Beijing by order?

This question stumped Qi Jun. This is also where Qi Jun can't figure it out, if Qi Ling had already rebelled, he refused to enter Beijing at the beginning, Huaiyang Road and the capital are thousands of miles away, which can be said to be beyond the reach of the whip......

Qi Ling did not obey the edict, he only had to raise troops to fight. But such a big move is not something that can be done overnight.

In that way, Qi Ling could recuperate in Huaiyang Road with great fanfare.

Why did he enter Beijing?

The two have their own opinions, but they can't use the Chu family, but it is rare to have the same opinion.

Then Qi Jun's condition worsened, and he had been sleeping for days and days recently, and Queen Xia naturally relied on Xia Yan more. was bent on planning for his son's succession, and simply handed over the protection of the capital to Xia Yan. But she didn't want to, the four gates were attacked, but Xia Yan entered the palace overnight and knelt in front of her, saying that she couldn't afford to defend the city.

It's about backing down.

At this critical juncture, Xia Yan actually flinched.

Where can she go to catch a military general to defend the city!" The palace is in the palace, and it has always been planning for the Xia family, as long as it is looking for an opportunity, it will send some benefits to the Xia family. You, the errand of the general defense of the capital, were saved by the main palace against public opinion. You are talking to Hongu now...... You are incompetent! You can't hold the capital. How do you ask this palace to explain to the Manchu Dynasty civil and military? How can you explain it to Your Majesty?"

The regret in Xia Yan's heart, regret that he shouldn't have believed Queen Xia's words in order to get ahead.

What this general defense is just an errand, what just needs him to order every day, and he doesn't have to bother with errands at all.

If the enemy attacks the capital, he needs to defend the city as the general defense, and the entire Great Qi is almost finished.

At that time, he will not be able to hold on, and he will be able to run for his life.

At that time, Queen Xia even thought about such a 'back road' for him, and Xia Yan had a hot brain and took this hot potato. Now it is difficult to ride a tiger, and he usually tells his subordinates to be careful. But at this time, the four cities were attacked?

How can he have the ability to guard the four city gates!

"Sister, the four city gates are under attack. The younger brother looked down from the city wall, and there was a crowd of people in the dark. One person can't see the edge...... How?"

"Hugh calls my sister. "Queen Xia was angry, and it was simply external and internal troubles that hit at the same time. It made Queen Xia feel that her eyes were black. If it weren't for the fact that she didn't worry about her son dealing with it alone, she really wanted to close her eyes and stop caring about these troubles. "The Queen's Mother. I can't hold it. ”

"If you can't keep it, you have to keep it. How many people can there be in the entire Huaiyang Dao? Still can't see the edge at a glance? It must be too dark, you are mistaken. ”

"They are all burning torches, the younger brother will not be mistaken, and I also ask the mother to be gracious, so I will remove the subordinate brother from the post of general defense. "Xia Yan just wants to save his life, don't mention anything to him at this time, the capital is important, even if he loses his life, what if he guards the city gate.

He didn't live long enough.

If he hadn't had this fateful errand, he would have stayed in the Xia family, and he would have been able to save his life.

Even if the Xia family is in trouble, presumably his mother will try her best to protect him.

Queen Xia has never felt that the people of the Xia family are greedy and afraid of death. She even faintly felt that the Xia family was superior in her heart. But Xia Yan's performance at this time, Queen Xia's face was full of disappointment. "You are the brother of the palace, at this time, you don't help the palace, but you still pull the hind legs of the palace?" "It's not that the minister's brother doesn't help the mother, it's true, the minister's brother...... Incompetent. "He marched and fought with two knives, and the troops were sent to defend the city with two knives, and now the four cities are supported by the officers and soldiers who defended the city under the leadership of the previous deputy general, and I don't know when it will be broken. The momentum outside the city is huge, and a frame that must attack the capital tonight. Rather than waiting for the city gate to fall and harm him, the fish in the pond, he should first ask for guilt.

"So, your subordinates are fighting bloodily. But you have come to ask this palace to remove you from office?"

Empress Xia asked gloomily.

Xia Yan nodded. "Niangniang also knows that the younger brother has no great ability, and he can still take on some heavy responsibilities in the peaceful and prosperous times, and now it is in troubled times, the younger brother, the younger brother really doesn't have that ability. Niangniang can find Wei Chen, yes! Wei Chen is out of nowhere with his soldiers, and he will definitely be able to defend the city gate. ”

As long as he can get out, he doesn't mind giving this hot potato to Wei Chen.

Once Wei Chen secured the capital, it would not be too late for him to make plans.
