Until the Mongol army suddenly appeared ten miles away on the outskirts of Beijing and set up camp, the people in Beijing were still in the dark. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, the palace had just intercepted the news, and it was the guards guarding the city in Beijing who were the first to find out.

Because it was too sudden and unexpected, the guards guarding the city were also shocked and panicked, and it took a long time to be able to stabilize.

The news of the Mongol siege spread rapidly, and the guards who were taken by surprise immediately reported it, and within half an hour it reached the palace.

"What? What did you say? ”

It was already late at night, and when the emperor in the deep palace heard the news, he sat up in surprise and looked at Gonggong Wu with a pale face, looking incredulous.

"Your Majesty...... Mongolia, the Mongol army, has already attacked the city......" Wu Gonggong was also panicked

"What do you say? Attack the city? How can it be? The emperor woke up from his dream, and his thoughts were still a little confused.

"Your Majesty, it's the guards guarding the city who came to report, and it's confirmed! Your Majesty, what should I do now? Father-in-law Wu was really frightened when he heard the news, and he didn't care about asking for instructions, so he almost ran in with a frightened face, panting.

"What? There are defenders in the northwest, and there are cities and counties along the road, why don't you see any Tang newspapers? The Emperor finally regained his senses and asked angrily.

"The minions don't know, the Mongol army seems to have jumped out of thin air, and there is no trace along the way, just like this, so suddenly...... Emperor...... How, how can this be? Wu Gonggong knelt down and said.

"How many centaurs?" The Emperor asked as he dressed in a panic.

"The guards of the city reported that it was dark and it was not clear to see, but ...... Look at the battle, at least 100,000 ah......" Wu Gonggong said timidly.

"One hundred thousand?" The emperor was stunned again and said: "The Mongolian army of 100,000 can approach Kyoto so silently, and all the armies in various places have no response, is it possible that I have raised some wine bags and rice bags!" Gonggong Wu, Minister of Xuanjun and Political Affairs, enter the palace immediately! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

In a panic, the emperor cursed, and then put on his robe in a panic and went to the Heart Cultivation Palace.

The Minister of Military Affairs and the officials of Beijing were urgently summoned to the palace overnight, but the eldest princess and Prince Rong were not among them.

was also awakened by the concubine Yan Ruolan, who was sleeping in the bed, until the emperor left in a hurry, Yan Ruolan felt that the news was so untrue that it made people in a trance.

How so, how could it be? The Great Qi is prosperous and strong, how can it be approached by the Mongol army and the city gate is not known, it is too weird, how can the northwest and the cities and counties along the road not know, that is a hundred thousand troops, how can it come so quietly, could it be that it fell from the sky?

Besiege...... The more Yan Rulan thought about it, the more panicked she became, so late at night, she couldn't be at ease anymore, and immediately heard that the palace people left the palace to deliver the news to Yan Guogong's mansion.

The news quickly spread in Beijing, the emperor was furious, and there was chaos inside and outside the palace, and all Jingzhao yamen were on emergency alert to prevent turmoil.

Fortunately, the army in Beijing is well-trained in peacetime, and although the commander has just changed, in the end, he is an iron-blooded man with responsibility, responsibility, and mission, and in the face of national crisis, there is no trivial matter, and everyone immediately enters a state of combat readiness.

The people who heard the news were also rumors, closed their doors, everyone was in danger, panicked, and waiting for the emperor's decision.

After all, the city is in danger, and everyone is duty-bound, let alone the emperor of a country.

What the people don't know yet, and what is even more fatal, is the current situation that there is no one available in Beijing.

It turned out that there were only 10,000 soldiers and horses in Beijing, and even if the forbidden army guards in the palace were added, there were less than 20,000 people.

What's worse is that a few days ago, the emperor personally removed the three armies, and almost all the generals who could fight well were sent out of Beijing by him for various innocuous reasons, and most of them were still on their way to work.

And the few people who stayed in Beijing were also old and frail, and it was difficult for them to cope with such a crisis moment, so they were not considered at all.

Although the newly replaced generals at all levels are the emperor's confidants, in the end, the new officials have taken office, and they have not even begun to run-in, let alone tacit understanding and authority.

Looking at the two military camps in the northwest and southwest with strong troops, it is true that the troops are sufficient, and the adjustable troops can not quench the thirst of the near, not to mention, the sudden sudden decline of the Mongolian army shows that the northwest is likely to miss, and it is more likely to make matters worse, so imminent, the entire capital is panicked.

The emperor, who has always been strategic, suddenly fell into a huge passivity, as if all the things he had been smug before had become a cocoon in front of him, so humiliating and unbearable, the emperor was naturally furious, and the military department and the officials were the first to suffer.

The Mongolian army descended from the sky, and it was killed directly outside the house, the emperor was angry, angry with the ministers, and within a day, dozens of people were degraded, and this time, even the courtiers were like frightened birds, and everyone was in danger.

For a whole day, the Mongol army did not make any invasion, and the emperor was still angry in the court.

At such a time of crisis, the emperor did not want to defend against foreign enemies first, but because of the suddenness of the incident, he changed his way to anger and blame the ministers.

With such a lack of priority, many ministers were disappointed in the always arrogant emperor.

After a fierce battle in the palace for a long time, and the outside of the city was pressing step by step, an old minister couldn't bear it anymore, and stepped forward and shouted: "Your Majesty! The Mongolian army is shouting outside the city, Kyoto is imminent, now is not the time to investigate the trouble, and ask the emperor to send troops to resist immediately, and when the crisis subsides, it is not too late to deal with them one by one! ”

As soon as he stopped drinking, the emperor's face changed suddenly, and the palace was also changing and gloomy.

The courtiers involuntarily and slowly quieted down, and the court fell into a deathly silence, which was also the time when the ministers were most afraid......

Since he was born, Emperor Jiang Hongxuan can also be said to have had a smooth journey, so he has developed his proud and arrogant temperament.

If you want to say that when you were a prince, you were still somewhat afraid of being seen by the first emperor and suppressed and restrained, but as soon as the first emperor left, Jiang Hongxuan succeeded to the throne and became the honor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and the pride and complacency in his bones swelled infinitely.

In fact, over the years, many ministers have been loyal and have made suggestions in this regard, but Jiang Hongxuan, who has been the emperor, has turned a deaf ear, and if he says it well, he will be criticized and disregarded, and slowly, the courtiers are helpless.

This also made him more and more conceited, more and more sensitive, more and more selfish, everything he did from his own point of view, often forgetting that as the king of a country, he should have a great responsibility to protect him.

This time was no exception, suddenly suffered this catastrophe, the emperor's proud dignity was greatly provoked, with his usual conceit and pride, his heart was difficult to calm for a while, coupled with the stern admonition of the old ministers, the emperor's face sank to make people's hearts sink.

In the hall, anger condensed.

"You...... Are you pointing at me? After a long time, the emperor spoke gloomily, with a cold killing intent.

The ministers were all a little flustered, looking at the old ministers with a worried face, and silently prayed for him.

"The old minister doesn't dare!" The silver-haired old minister bowed down to reply, his face full of wrinkles with a daunting humility or arrogance.

"Don't dare, then what you just said was teaching me how to behave?" The killing intent on the emperor's face became stronger and stronger.

"The old minister just said what the old minister should say as a courtier." The old minister raised his head and had a clear conscience.

"What should a courtier say? Hmph......" The emperor suddenly sneered, and his right hand, which was placed on the imperial case, was clenched to death.

Almost all the courtiers saw the strong killing intent in the emperor's eyes, and they were sweating for this loyal and courageous old man.

"Lord Wang?" The emperor looked condescending, and his tone was full of threats, as if he wanted to force the king to compromise and retreat.

But this Wang Lao is also a veteran of the two dynasties, although he is not a military general, but he is a rare loyal and courageous person among the civil ministers, he has always been outspoken, quite a general, and never afraid of power.

The more the emperor tried to use the emperor's coercion to persecute him, the higher his head was raised, and in the main hall, the emperor glared at the righteous and awe-inspiring Wang Lao, and his sword was tense.

The emperor cares too much about his own face, and at this time, he actually made it so difficult for a loyal old minister for this matter, and many ministers couldn't stand it.

"Your Majesty, the siege of the city is imminent, what the elder Wang Ge said is very true, and asking the emperor to order to block it is the best policy!" A minister succeeded Wang Ge Lao and risked his life to admonish.

"You!" This Wang Ge Lao has already made the emperor so angry that he has murderous intent, and now there is another unknown person, good look, and the killing intent in the emperor's eyes is getting stronger and stronger.
