Emperor Ming Xian tilted his head, withdrew his hand, looked at the begonias on the desk on the side, and said: "Back then, I fought for this throne, but it was because of you." Moreover," Emperor Ming Xian said, and looked at Tong Yao again:

"Shu'er's means and resourcefulness are not under me now, and 100,000 troops are guarding outside the city, and most of the courtiers have submitted to them. If you really want to get it right, it doesn't matter who loses and who wins. And, since you entered the cold palace, I have no mind to control the world. I don't want to abolish the world of my ancestors, Yao'er is loyal and generous, and she is the material of the Son of Heaven. ”

"So, you don't have to wronged yourself with me because I don't fight with Shu'er and them. How to do it, you respect your own heart. After that, Emperor Ming Xian looked at Tong Yao, hooked his lips and smiled warmly, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were opened, and the handsomeness of his youth was faintly visible.

He turned around and walked down the stairs.

The footsteps were clear and heavy, step by step, stepping on Tong Yao's heart.

Emperor Ming Xian walked downstairs and walked straight out of the stone building. He first stood outside the stone tower and looked up at the thin clouds floating in the sky. After a while, he turned his head and opened his mouth with an indifferent face: "Zibo, send the army to withdraw fifty miles from the outskirts of Beijing." ”

With that, he strode towards the courtyard of the cold palace.

After noon on the 10th day of October, Zhuo Yijia received a royal order from the imperial city, and on the 15th of October, General Liuguang was ordered to return to the north to garrison the border fortress.

However, in a few days, the temperature plummeted, and the weather of rain and snow swept in. It didn't stop for a while.

On October 20, Zhuo Yijia had not gone too far when he heard that Hua Taijun was seriously ill and dying on the waterway to Guazhou, and on October 22, Hua Taijun was seriously ill and died. The winter wind was too strong, and the return journey was blocked, and I entered the waterside inn along the way.

General Zhuo Lao fell down in excessive sorrow, the big house of the Zhuo family presided over the overall situation in Beijing, and the second and third rooms went out with their families on the waterway to Guazhou, the weather was cold and the ground was freezing, in order to return safely, Zhuo Shunwu ordered a detour to return by land.

The two bedrooms and three bedrooms are gone, and it would be good to be able to come back before the New Year.

The wind is getting closer, October 26. Zhuo Yijia, who was walking slowly all the way, stayed in the inn along the road. This line is already slow, and because of the wind and snow in the winter moon, I stopped for a day, and walked for more than ten days, but I couldn't walk a hundred miles.

The charcoal basin had already burned in the inn, and Zhuo Yijia sat at the table, looking at the letter sent by Sanniang. After looking, she looked up, looked at the leaky pot next to her, then got up, walked to the window, and pushed it open.

The oncoming wind and snow are howling.

Zhuo Yijia tightened her neckline.

There was a knock on the door behind him.

"Come in. Zhuo Yijia said as he turned his head.

Zhihua came in from outside the house, walked straight to Zhuo Yijia, and whispered a few words.

Zhuo Yijia nodded, then turned around and closed the window. Strode out of the house.

Zhihua followed, took the cloth bag and sword that had been prepared on the table, and followed closely.

Zhuo Yijia first walked to the next room and knocked.

The people in the room answered the call.

Hongshan opened the door, looked at Zhuo Yijia standing in front of her, her eyes fell on the package held by Zhihua behind her, and then frowned and puzzled: "Master?"

Zhuo Yijia looked at Hong Shan and said, "Look at him." As he spoke, he stretched out his finger and pointed to Changyu's house next to him, and then said, "I have something important to go back to Beijing." You are waiting here for my commands. ”

Hong Shan listened to Zhuo Yijia's words, nodded obediently, and then said, "Then Zhihua is going with you?"

Zhuo Yijia nodded: "So it's all up to you." ”

"Yes. Hongshan straightened up and nodded.

Zhuo Yijia said goodbye and walked outside the inn.

Outside the inn, the rain and snow were mixed, and the paddle cloth was whirring.

Vice General Zhang and others were already waiting outside, and the sweaty and bloody BMW that had been prepared long ago was tied to the column head. Zhuo Yijia walked over, untied the rope, then turned over and got on the horse, turned around and took the hat belt handed by Zhihua, pinned the long sword to his waist, and galloped away.

Zhihua also turned over and got on the horse, and the group followed one after another.

The sound of horses' hooves 'kicking' was heard, and the road was muddy and splashed.

Hong Shan stood on the upper floor of the inn, watching the group go away, disappearing into the rain and snow, pursing her lips, sighing, rubbing her hands stiff by the wind, and then turned around and walked outside the inn.

When Zhuo Yijia arrived at Fanlin Mountain on the outskirts of Beijing, it was already the twenty-ninth day.

Sanniang took the hat, rode on a horse, and stood on the small intersection on the side of Fan Lin Mountain. I watched the group of people riding horses and speeding up.

She took a step forward and watched the woman in front of her march, and then she didn't speak, but turned sideways and beat her horse and walked towards the mountains and forests.

Zhuo Yijia did not stop, and after galloping to the mountain intersection, he followed Sanniang's horse directly into the forest.

The rain and snow falling in the mountains and forests are even more abundant. The deeper they went into the mountains, they saw armies standing on both sides of the mountains. and a tent hidden deep in the mountains.

Stop at one place. Sanniang dismounted, and the group all dismounted.

Entering the house, Sanniang first walked to the table, poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Zhuo Yijia.

Zhuo Yijia, who had been traveling for two days, was a little purple from the cold. She took the hot tea handed by Sanniang, took a sip of it, and then turned her head to look at Sanniang and said, "How are you preparing?"

"Everything is in order. Sanniang stood next to Zhuo Yijia, her face full of seriousness.

"Are all the Southern Protectors in place?" asked Zhuo Yijia as she put down the teacup in her hand.

"It's all in place. Sanniang responded: "Of the 100,000 troops protecting the south, 30,000 were transferred to the city to lurk in the city, and they were distributed in Huairong Palace, the Military Department and General Zhuo's Mansion." 5,000 people have been transferred from He Wenjing, the secretary of the military department, to the various departments of the Terracotta and Horses Division of the Five Cities, as well as next to the gate of the city in Beijing. Fifteen thousand people lurk in the tunnels of the capital. Three thousand people, led by General Zhuo, lurked around the Second Prince's Mansion and were already surrounded. There are also 10,000 people, sent to Shangyi City, led by Beisheng, guarding the 10,000 soldiers of Su Xinyuan. The rest of the club lay dormant in the Fan Lin Mountain, and the cavalry cooperated with the sergeants at the city gate to attack the city to respond. ”

"I read the letter he gave me, at three o'clock in the afternoon, the text was introduced, on the grounds that he was in a hurry to see Emperor Ming Xian, handed over the sign and opened the palace door, He Wenjing took the opportunity to attack the palace. ”

Zhuo Yijia said, and then turned his head to look at Sanniang: "Zhao Fengyao is still scheduled to do it in the middle of the sea?"

"It hasn't changed for three moments. Sanniang stood next to Zhuo Yijia and replied.

Hearing this, Zhuo Yijia glanced back at the deputy general Zhang who followed behind him, and then looked back at Sanniang: "Go and prepare a table of good wine and food, a few of us have eaten and slept well, get up before the time, wait for the opportunity to wait for Zhao Fengyao's order, and lead the troops into the city." ”

"Yes. Sanniang answered, and then walked outside.

Before long, the room was full of food and drink. Zhuo Yijia, Vice General Zhang and others have been traveling for a few days, except for squinting and nibbling on a hard steamed bun along the road, they have no rest to eat.

A large table of dishes was quickly swept away by several people. Under the arrangement of Sanniang, several people took a bath in cold water on a cold day, and then fell asleep.
