If something happens to one of the two neighboring countries, the other must be trying to make a profit from it.

So at this time, no matter what Jin Guo said, he had to turn a blind eye.

The emperor said: "Let them stay in the post house, and when the rebellion is quelled, they will naturally be let go back." ”

After speaking, the emperor summoned Liu Jingchen over: "What does Liu Xiang think I should do with the Jin Kingdom?"

Liu Jingchen thought for a while before saying, "The envoy of the Jin State entrusted the Ministry of Rites to show favor to Weichen. ”

Hearing this, the emperor's eyebrows immediately rose: "What did they say?"

Liu Jingchen said: "The Jin State wants to form an alliance with Daqi, whether the emperor wants them to send troops or support, they are willing to do it, they just want to open a field in Zhending, and the two countries will trade." ”

"Do you believe it?" said the Emperor coldly.

Liu Jingchen bowed: "Weichen feels that no matter what they say, they must wait for the prince to return to Beijing first." "Whether the prince can return to Beijing or not, whether he will help the emperor, you can see the intention of Jin Guo from this point.

The emperor's frowning brows loosened a little: "I knew that this would not have allowed King Shu to go, King Shu has been gone for so long, and there is no news to enter the capital until now, and when the city gate is closed, how will they enter the city." ”

Liu Jingchen said: "Now that the traitorous party in the palace has been purged, the emperor can rest assured for the time being, as for the crown prince...... They must have heard the news, and they couldn't say that they could settle down temporarily. ”

The Queen Mother next to her said lightly: "There is no news at this time, which is also a good thing." At least the crown prince was not caught by King Ning. ”

The Emperor bowed his head slightly.

The Queen Mother said: "The most important thing at the moment is to hold the capital, and I hope that the forbidden army can return to help as soon as possible." ”

The emperor immediately asked Liu Jingchen: "How is it outside?"

Liu Jingchen hesitated and didn't know how to speak.

The Queen Mother looked calm: "At this juncture, don't report good news or bad news, tell the truth, let the emperor and the mourning family know the situation outside." ”

Liu Jingchen bowed down at this time: "Gu Shiheng has returned to Beijing, he should know more about the situation outside......"

The Queen Mother's eyes lit up and she held the handkerchief in her hand, so it seemed that Langhua might also come back.

The emperor hurriedly said: "Quick, send him in." ”

Gu Shiheng entered the door and saluted the emperor and the queen mother.

The emperor sat up straight: "Didn't you go to Guangnan? ”

Gu Shiheng said about the attack halfway: "It must have been arranged by King Ning a long time ago, and Weichen asked people to lure those people away, and hurriedly walked the path into the city......"

"What's going on out there now?" the emperor wanted to know most about how the capital was doing.

Gu Shiheng said: "King Ning let the mountain bandits enter Beijing, those people went around looting property, killing people, and setting fires, and the capital has become a mess, especially in Dongcheng, where there are countless casualties, King Ning wants the capital to be chaotic, so that we can't hold the capital." ”

"This brute," roared the Emperor, "I will tear him to pieces, and let him know what the end of the rebellion is." ”

There was silence in the hall.

If King Ning was afraid of this, there would be no matter today.

King Hui and King Qing are both bloody lessons.

But it is obvious that the throne is the biggest temptation for King Ning, and now that he is in the city, it is impossible for him to retreat without a fight.

"Your Majesty," Gu Shiheng said, "Since we have decided to defend the city, we must immediately gather people to extinguish the fire and dispose of the corpses, in case an epidemic will definitely cause a riot, and then it will definitely affect morale." ”

Gu Shiheng said and paused: "When the eldest daughter of Weichen was in Zhenjiang, she followed Rong Guogong to defend the city, and they used rice grain mixed with medicinal herbs and tea to make military food, which can not only solve the food shortage, but also prevent and control epidemics. ”

Using grain mixed with medicinal herbs and tea to make grain cakes, this practice made Liu Jingchen think of a person, King Qing!

That's right, it's King Qing!

King Qing once suggested that the imperial court make such military rations.

This time King Ning's rebellion was based on the son of King Qing, although the fact that Pei Qitang was the son of King Qing had been suppressed, he always felt that everything was not over.

What if this is true?

Liu Jingchen's heart was flustered, he took a long breath, pretending to be calm, the more he couldn't panic at this time, he could let people check Pei Qitang at any time, but not now.

Because this may be the last straw that overwhelmed this dynasty, the Gu family did not shy away from proposing such a method at this time, could it be an ulterior motive, they knew that they should dissociate themselves from King Qing at this time.

The emperor slowly twisted the jade handle in his hand, and thought about it carefully, Gu Shiheng was right, the most important thing at the moment is to stabilize people's hearts, Gu Langhua had applied medicine in Beijing and cured many patients, and he also had some reputation in the capital, if Gu Langhua came forward to apply rice and medicine, it could indeed play a role in calming people's hearts.

The emperor said: "Without further ado, these two things will be done immediately." ”

Gu Shiheng responded.

The Queen Mother took a sip of tea: "From now on, the amount of food in the palace will be reduced, starting from the emperor and the mourning family, two meals a day, one meal and one dish." ”

The emperor nodded: "Just do what the Queen Mother says." ”

The Queen Mother continued: "Open the granary in the capital, let the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Households cooperate with Grandma Pei Si to make grain cakes, distribute them to the people in the city first, list the excess medicinal materials and food in Cining Palace, and hand them over to Grandma Pei Si, and I can only do these things as an old woman." ”

The Queen Mother took out all the things in Cining Palace.

The emperor was silent and looked at Chang Ankang: "There must be a lot of injuries in Beijing, so let the Tai Hospital take medical workers to diagnose and treat the people." ”

Everything was arranged, Gu Shiheng, Chang Ankang and others retreated, and the Queen Mother also went back to Cining Palace to rest.

There were no others in the hall, so Liu Jingchen stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is still uneasy about something. ”

The emperor was a little surprised: "Liu Xiang feels that there is still a omission." ”

There are indeed omissions, and I'm afraid the biggest omission!

Liu Jingchen said in a low voice: "Weichen is worried...... What King Ning said is true, Pei Qitang is really the son of King Qing. ”

The Emperor's eyes jumped, and he almost jumped from his throne.

Liu Jingchen's mouth was bitter: "But right now, even if he is, the emperor can't say it, and he can't let the capital be in chaos...... Fortunately...... Fortunately, King Ning and Pei Qitang are opponents of each other. ”

The emperor looked at Liu Jingchen sharply: "How can you be sure of ......?"

Liu Jingchen said: "King Ning dares to say those words...... The method of making military rations that Gu Shiheng just said was used by King Qing, and the Gu family did not avoid suspicion, of course, it may be open-minded, but it may also have other plans...... Wechen was just worried...... The emperor wants to guard against the Pei family and the Gu family. ”

"They are all lying to me," the emperor's face turned pale, "When I am a fool, I will clean up King Ning, and then thoroughly investigate Pei Qitang, if this is the case, none of them will be able to escape." ”

"Emperor Shengming, this is what Weichen wants to say," Liu Jingchen saluted again, "We must deal with King Ning first, even if King Ning is telling the truth, the emperor can't believe it on the surface, so as not to cause another incident, we must insist that King Ning is doing nothing, so that we can get through the difficulties safely." ”

The emperor sneered: "I don't admit it, even if he is the evil seed of King Qing, he will not want to enter the royal family tree." ”
