The environment in Kyoto was really bad, everyone hid at home and didn't dare to go out, and the army of Long Yuting outside was in the city. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Even if Gu Qingcheng was in the palace, she knew that the situation outside was very critical, and it didn't take long for her to know that there was a shortage of food in the city, which was the most terrifying thing, and she didn't know how long she could last without food.

"Your Majesty, is Kyoto completely surrounded now?" Gu Qingcheng asked Shen Tianao.

"Yes, Allure." Shen Tianao said truthfully to her, he felt that there was no need to hide Gu Qingcheng at this time.

And Gu Qingcheng felt a tight grip in her heart, the result would be very bad if she continued like this, she didn't dare to think about anything else, but said to Shen Tianao: "Your Majesty, let's not think about these troubles. ”

Kyoto has been besieged for more than a month, Long Yuting and others discussed together: "It's not a way to besiege like this, Kyoto is impregnable, if you want to break in, then you will suffer heavy losses." ”

Mu Yun suggested to Long Yuting: "Regent, according to reliable news, there is a shortage of grain and grass in the city, so it is better to take this opportunity for us to distribute grain and grass in the city, and tell the people inside that as long as you open the city gate, you can get grain and grass and food. ”

Long Yuting smiled slightly and said, "This is indeed a good way, to lose the least number of people, so that the city gate can be opened as soon as possible." He wanted to know what would happen after opening the city gates, he hadn't entered for a long time, imagining the inside of the palace, and whispered in his heart, "Allure, we are finally going to meet again, and this time I will definitely let you come back to me."

Mu Yun received permission from Long Yuting, and soon acted in this way, he came to the barracks and said to the soldiers: "You throw this grain into the city, so that the people in the city can get the food. ”

The soldiers used trebuchets to tie grain and grass to stones and throw them into the city, because the city was shrouded in by hunger, at this time there was food thrown in, immediately like an explosion of the pot, everyone was busy grabbing the food, this competition began to continue, and finally even some of the hungry soldiers joined in the ranks of the robbery.

Shen Tianao was furious when he learned about this, and he instructed Liu Ying: "Kill all those who robbed me of food, not a single one is allowed to stay, it is very dangerous for people with this kind of thinking to stay, obviously besieged for some more time, Long Yuting and they will also withdraw their troops, but if there is chaos in the city, we will not attack ourselves." ”

Of course, Liu Ying understood the power of it, so he strictly implemented Shen Tianao's instructions, and he even killed the soldiers who robbed the grain and grass with his own hands, and said to them: "If you want to blame it, you can only blame yourself for messing up, now is the critical time, how can you let yourself mess first, the situation in Kyoto will be even more critical if you go on like this." ”

There was a little palace maid crying in front of Gu Qingcheng, she felt very strange, so she asked, "Why are you crying, is it because you are afraid of being besieged?" The palace has already allowed you to leave the palace, why don't you go out? ”

The little palace maid replied to Gu Qingcheng: "Queen Mother, the slave and maid are homeless even if they leave the palace, because the slave's brother has been killed, he was executed when he was robbing the grain, and now there is a shortage of food in the city, and the slave's brother has to grab food in order to be able to fill his stomach." ”

Gu Qingcheng knew that there was a shortage of food in the city, and she couldn't help but ask again: "Now that there is a shortage of food in the city, I don't know where your brother went to grab the food?" ”

The little palace maid glanced around vigilantly, and then said slowly to Gu Qingcheng: "Queen Mother, now the besieging soldiers outside the city have thrown grain into the city, and the slave's brother is the one who went to snatch the grain, so he was killed." ”

It is not difficult for Gu Qingcheng to imagine what a cruel picture this is, and what Long Yuting and the others did she knew was to mess up the formation of the people inside, but Shen Tianao's temperament was already murderous, and she was afraid that there would not be many people left in the city if she continued to kill like this, she felt very confused when she thought of this, and there was only one thing she wanted to do in her mind at this time, she must not let Shen Tianao continue to kill, this is also for his good.

So she was going to admonish Shen Tianao, but after the palace people learned about it, they all persuaded her: "Queen Mother, it's better not to persuade you at this time, in case you get into trouble." ”

The palace people don't want to see her have an accident, after all, Gu Chengcheng is not thin to them for them, and if something happens to Gu Tingcheng because of the admonition, I'm afraid that there will be no one willing to shelter them in the future, in this messy harem, I am afraid that the situation will be worse, and they feel terrible when they think of it.

But Gu Tingcheng had already made up her mind, and she said to the palace maids: "This is what I should do, you can rest assured that Your Majesty will not do anything to me." ”

She knew that even if Shen Tianao killed people without blinking, he still retained some basic kindness and mercy in front of her, so she could conclude that Shen Tianao would not kill her even if he was angry.

So Gu Qingcheng came to the main hall and saw Shen Tianao and the ministers hurriedly discussing on the side, she first stood aside, and when Shen Tianao and the ministers finished discussing, she said slowly to Shen Tianao: "Your Majesty, the concubine has something she wants to discuss with Your Majesty." ”

"What?" Shen Tianao asked Gu Qingcheng.

Gu Qingcheng saw that he looked very tired, and she couldn't bear to see him like this, but for the sake of the people of Kyoto, she had to say this matter, so she said to Shen Tianao: "Your Majesty, I hope you don't continue to kill people anymore, and no one in the city can die." ”

Shen Tianao stared at her deeply, and then said, "They betrayed me first, and I hope you don't interfere in government affairs, and the city will fall into the city." ”

"Your Majesty, this is the last request of the concubine, I hope Your Majesty can agree, if Your Majesty continues to kill, it will only leave you with infamy, even at the last moment, Your Majesty cannot become a tyrant." Gu Qingcheng pleaded with him, her eyes full of pleading.

Shen Tianao sighed, and then said to her softly, "Allure, Rong Zhen is thinking about this matter. ”

He really had to think about it, because at the beginning, he had already killed red eyes, he hated the betrayal of others, so he felt that these people who were fighting for food should die, he could no longer resist the army outside, so he could only shrink in Kyoto to survive, thinking about this he felt that he was really ridiculous, he didn't expect to end up like this.

And Gu Qingcheng's words lingered in his ears like an alarm bell, he didn't want to be a tyrant, and he couldn't be a tyrant, thinking of this, he had other ideas in his heart. (To be continued.) )
