Wu Zhengxiang was in a trance, the most important man in his life was really dead this time.

He had a strong sense of unreality, as if he was in a dream, and the people and things around him were far away from him. In a pair of starry eyes, tears rolled down, and he was also unconscious.

"The emperor has died!"

This bad news quickly spread throughout the capital.

For the people in Beijing who do not know the truth, it is tantamount to adding insult to injury. The army outside the city is pressing, and the grain tank at home is about to bottom, and it is the people's hearts that are panicking.

At this time, the man they loved, the emperor who was incompetent in their hearts, died!

From the palace to the people, the entire capital was wrapped in vegetarian food, and there was a gloomy cloud.

When the king of Ruyang saw this, he was sad.

Emperor Qinglong died, this is the news he has confirmed. According to his son's plan, shouldn't the city gate be opened at this time to welcome the army into the city? Why, on the contrary, there was a rumor that the emperor had died.

With his ability, he couldn't figure out the twists and turns.

He didn't understand, let alone Wei Ming. Wei Mingchen's strategy, he didn't know.

King Ruyang had already retreated in his heart, but he felt a little hopeful. What if Wei Mingchen succeeded as soon as he retreated? He hesitated in his heart, so he thought about waiting one more day.

……

A country cannot be without a king for a day, not to mention that there are foreign enemies eyeing each other.

Under the auspices of Zhu Zihou, the ministers were summoned as witnesses. The prince put on a dragon robe and sat on the dragon chair, and changed the year name to Yanping, which was for Emperor Yanping.

One of the first major things he did when he ascended the throne was to deal with the rebels outside the city.

With everything that Emperor Qinglong had laid for him, he just needed to gently reach out and pick this sweet fruit of victory.

As for the enthronement ceremony, it is monitored by Qintian and counted as auspicious days, and the Ministry of Rites is in charge.

Although there are enemies outside the city who have not retreated, the emperor's death ceremony cannot be abolished. According to the will prepared by Emperor Qinglong, the funeral should be simple, and there are many rituals left to be carried out.

Emperor Yanping dismissed the dynasty for three days to show mourning, and the princes and grandsons all wore linen and filial piety. The courtiers ordered their wives to enter the palace to cry and mourn, and there should be a lot of regulations. During the period of national filial piety, it is forbidden to marry and rejoice for three months.

It was the third watch of the night, in the mourning hall of Emperor Qinglong.

Jiang Bingwei was vegetarian all over her body, and only a small white flower was hairpinned in her hair, and she walked in without paying any money.

The expression on her face was not sad or happy, she walked to the coffin of Emperor Qinglong, took the paper money prepared on the side and put it into the copper basin, and burned it unhurriedly.

In the dead of night, in addition to the palace people who are on duty at night, only Emperor Yanping and Wu Guangqi are still guarding here. The two of them had just persuaded Empress Cao, who was almost fainting from crying, to go back.

But Jiang Bingwei didn't mean to give a gift to Emperor Yanping, and burned the paper by herself. She even had a faint smile on her face, chattering with Emperor Qinglong in the coffin about some of the past.

She has been with him for two years, and her wish has been fulfilled.

And how she wanted to be by his side when he finally died, watching him go.

However, he is not only her husband, but also the emperor of the world. In his last moments, he couldn't give it to her.

"Lang Jun, this is really a pity. Jiang Bingwei smiled faintly and said, "But it doesn't matter, Weiwei is here to accompany you." ”

The movement of her hands continued, but it slowed down more and more.

Eventually, she tilted her head and slowly collapsed on the edge of the copper basin. Jiang Bingwei's eyebrows and eyes were peaceful, purple-black blood flowed from her lips, and a stack of yellow paper in her hand was scattered all over the ground.

When she came in, Emperor Yanping sensed that something was wrong with her.

Seeing her fall to the ground and die, he sighed slightly in his heart.

She is also an idiot, this life is so bumpy, she has hated and resented, and in the end she still sacrificed for her father.

Speaking of which, although it was not Queen Cao's original intention, the queen mother did owe it to her.

called the palace people to come over, and put Jiang Bingwei's body in good place, leaving it for her mother to deal with later.

After the dawn, the current Empress Dowager Cao knew about it, sighed and made an edict. Next to the mausoleum of Emperor Qinglong, the nearest tomb was found and she was buried, which can be regarded as the infatuation of the two in this life.

This is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.

King Ruyang, who had not waited for Wei Mingchen's news, had completely lost his previous composure at this time.

The spies reported that an army was slowly approaching to the west. By the afternoon, two more armies appeared in different directions.

The reinforcements of the imperial court arrived one after another, and the king of Ruyang could not wait for Wei Mingchen's news at this time, and led his henchmen to flee.

Wei Ming knew that the general trend was gone, and wrote a charge against himself in the army.

The banner was played on the head of the city, Dingguo Gong led the defenders in the city to attack, and the reinforcements all joined together to attack, and Emperor Yanping personally climbed the city wall to supervise the battle.

Seeing that nothing could be done, Lu Dahai ordered the soldiers of the Gyeonggi battalion to surrender, and captured the king of Ruyang and tied up the land and escorted him to the Duke of Dingguo.

The siege of the capital was lifted.

Just when the people in the city were cheering, they rode out of the capital from the Changxia Gate and went away.

Wu Zhengxiang was full of anxiety, and Xu Wan's whereabouts were really worried about his heart.

……

About 100 miles away from Songzhou, there is a small mountain village like a paradise. Due to the inconvenience of transportation, the villagers seem to be isolated from the world and live a small life of self-sufficiency.

Unbeknownst to them, there was an extremely secluded path in the mountains behind the village, which led to a valley that was warm in winter and cool in summer.

This valley is Wei Mingchen's stronghold for military training in Songzhou.

At this time, Wei Mingchen had been defeated, and the king of Ruyang was ambushed, and this place was deserted. But in one of the wooden houses, smoke rose from the house.

Ah Da was wrapped in a wound around his waist, and the food in his hand was placed on the wooden table one by one. He finally escaped from death and fled from Beijing to this place just because there were people he cared about.

Bai Yao helped Xu Wanzhen out of the room.

More than a month has passed, Xu Wan's belly is really getting bigger and bigger, and it is inconvenient to live. The arrow wound on Bai Yao's shoulder is basically healed, as long as he doesn't lift heavy objects, he will be fine.

There is also a man who is Ah Da's henchman, and he also rescued Xu Wanzhen from Zhuangzi, and took Bai Yao's life as a threat to kidnap Xu Wanzhen here.

The four of them were silent, silently eating the food on the table.

Ah Da looked at Xu Wanzhen from time to time, his eyes were eager.

For the sake of the child in her womb, Xu Wanzhen will not be unable to get along with herself in terms of food. When she saw Ah Da appear, she figured out the ins and outs of the matter, but she never said a word to Ah Da again.

No matter how much Ah Da pleaded, she ignored it.

After finishing the meal, Ah Da continued the persuasion of the past few days, looked at her and said, "You promise me, come with me." I know that my master still has two places to hide gold, and I will not treat you badly in this life. ”

"The child in your womb, I will also regard him as my own, and I will never despise him. For the sake of my sincerity, for the sake of me that I rescued you, you should also promise to me. Otherwise, you would have died by this time. ”
