Throughout the day, the ministers took different attitudes on the same matter, or even diametrically opposed views. And all of this needs to be decided by the prince.

For example, over the matter of food in Beijing, the ministers started a fierce quarrel.

One side said that in addition to the grain that had been purchased from the private house, all the grain in Beijing would be controlled and redistributed by the household department. From grain merchants to rice and noodle shops. As much as possible, the capital can last a few more days;

On the other hand, such a heavy-handed approach will inevitably provoke popular uprising. Outside, there is the pressure of a large army to crush the city, and there is the tension of the grain being taken away by the government, I am afraid that the capital has not been breached, and it has caused a riot in the whole city.

As mentioned earlier, the number of troops guarding the palace in Beijing is only 13,000. How can these millions of people riot and suppress it?

The two groups of people said that the public was reasonable, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was reasonable, and they were so red-faced and red-eared that they were spitting.

In the end, under the overall situation of the crown prince, a compromise plan was come up.

The household department came forward to go to the big grain merchants to continue the negotiation and buy as much grain as possible from their hoarded grains. As for the small merchants and shops, they do not want to be alarmed.

All of this is the same as when he was in the North, but there are also differences.

When he led his troops to attack Bakunlin, he occupied the position of righteousness in the imperial court and backed Luoyang City. Along the way, there were government soldiers to join, not to mention that there was plenty of food and grass.

All that needs to be considered is how to win, how to fight a good battle with the fewest casualties.

Later, he made a pocket for Bakun Lin to drill, and the empty city plan made it extremely beautiful. Although he didn't dare to say that he was 100% sure of the process, he was 6 or 70% sure.

With the smooth implementation of the plan, after Jinyang became an empty city, his grasp of victory rose to ninety.

Sure enough, in the end, he won an unprecedented victory, and also won the hearts of the army for himself.

At this time, the situation is completely different, except for the same heavy responsibility.

First of all, he had no way to retreat, and he had no food and grass to back up. The capital is besieged, and if the government order is not up to date and the military order is not passed, it is equivalent to a person's brain suddenly not being able to turn, even if the limbs are sound and there is no brain, it is useless to command.

Generals in the army, no matter how far or near, can only be dispatched by military talismans. If the Gyeonggi battalion wants to send troops, it must also see the talisman held by the emperor before he can dispatch troops.

And now, now the largest force of the Gongwei Jing Division has turned back! There were no more heavy troops in the Gyeonggi area, and the nearest army was also at Hangok Pass.

In other words, there are not many ways to break the siege before the capital runs out of food.

Mobilizing the army to Qin Wang, lobbying Wei Ming to surrender, and repelling the rebels are nothing more than these three ways. There are three paths, none of which are easy.

When you are in the Northland, you are fighting for the victory or defeat of one city and one pool. Even if the Battle of Jinyang is defeated, it will not be in a desperate situation. There is an entire Gaomang to move around, and once again gather forces to adjust the strategy, and still win.

But at the moment, it is a backwater battle that can only be won and not defeated.

If it is really defeated, the establishment of the new dynasty still needs the service of the ministers of the palace. But the royal family has no way out.

In addition, there is a secret in the prince's heart that Emperor Qinglong has died. All this made him feel breathless.

Some people may ask, why not execute the decapitation tactics that were executed in Jinyang City?

This time, that time.

In Jinyang City, Wang Leyu can easily obtain the first level of Ba Kunlin, which is as easy as finding a bag. However, don't forget, Jinyang City was originally a trap laid in advance.

At this time, Wei Ming was in the heavily guarded camp under the city, surrounded by layers of elite guards. In such a military camp, let alone mixing in a few big living people, even a fly can't fly in.

No matter how clever Shadow Guard's martial arts are, Shadow Thunder will sneak in again, after all, he is also a human and not a ghost.

All these kinds of problems were placed in front of the prince, which made him have a headache.

Hearing Xiao Quanzi's report, he rubbed his eyebrows tiredly. Raising his eyes, he glanced at Xiao Quanzi and asked, "Did the imperial grandmother say what happened?" ”

Xiao Quanzi said respectfully: "The Empress Dowager said that when the soldiers are coming to the city, the harem will fully support His Highness." ”

There was a smile in the prince's eyes, but the imperial grandmother still loved him.

The few remaining ministers in the hall hurriedly bowed their hands and said, "Your Highness, the ministers are retiring." "At the end of the day, they were also exhausted. The most important things have been arranged, and it is not too late to discuss the rest of the affairs tomorrow.

In this defense, we must be prepared for a protracted battle. Relaxation is the way to the long term.

When I arrived at Yanqing Palace, Empress Cao was also here to accompany Empress Dowager Xiao. The two of them asked him a little about his current situation, and after a light and pleasant dinner, they asked him to go back early and rest.

This soothed the prince's nerves, which had been tense for a day.

Here, no one asked him how the military was doing, and there was no useless advice that was repeated over and over again. Yes, just unsuspecting trust and trust.

After a few illnesses, Empress Dowager Xiao's health is not good. But from her weak smile, the vicissitudes of wisdom revealed are not light, and people can't help but relax.

Empress Cao's experience was not as good as that of Empress Dowager Xiao, but both she and the crown prince knew the secret of Emperor Qinglong's death. This big secret, someone shared it, undoubtedly made the prince feel much better.

According to the rules of the previous dynasty, the crown prince should live in the east palace of the palace.

However, after the first emperor established the dynasty, due to the excessive favor of King Ruyang, he did not let the original prince live in the East Palace, but built another prince's mansion in Luoyang City.

When it was the turn of the current prince, because he was ordered to be in danger, he had just been canonized as the prince and was sent north to crusade against Bakunlin, where would he have time to stay in the East Palace?

When he came back, he didn't want to enter the palace early and be bound. Many things, he is more convenient outside the palace. The Prince's Mansion built outside the palace, there are people with free hands, so he has been dragging it and not entering the East Palace.

Back at the Prince's Mansion, the night was already deep.

"I still have some things, you go back and rest first." The crown prince looked at the crown princess and said gently.

The crown princess knew his temperament, and although she was gentle at this time, there was no room for refusal. instructed him to pay attention to his body, and then led the people to the backyard.

"Let the military commander come to see me." The prince returned to the study, and ordered, despite the fact that it was late at night. The stiff tone revealed the displeasure in his heart.

His subordinates hesitated slightly, and then responded with their fists clenched.

Wu Zhengxiang came quickly, and in less than two quarters of an hour, he appeared in the study, clenched his fists and said, "I have seen His Highness." ”

The crown prince looked at him deeply and asked, "Commander Wu, such a situation, but what you foresaw?" ”

"If you go back to Your Highness, no."

The prince slapped the table vigorously and let out a "bang! There was a muffled thud. Emperor Qinglong has passed away, and no matter how capable Wu Zhengxiang is, he is just a paper tiger in his opinion.

He didn't believe it, and he couldn't subdue the man in front of him!
