Su Yingtong rested in the temple for two days, and the emperor's honor guard entered the temple in a majestic manner.

On this day, the temple began to prepare for the emperor early in the morning, and Su Yingtong and the host stood at the front of the door to wait for the holy car.

After standing at the door for almost an hour, the sun gradually rose high, and only then did I see the shadow of the procession.

The monks knelt in a column on both sides of the road, and the formation was huge.

Su Yingtong is physically and mentally tired, no matter what era he is, he likes to pay attention to rituals!

Originally, he didn't dare to raise his head, lest he be too conspicuous, but his eyes inadvertently glanced at the team, and he was attracted by the handsome man riding a tall horse in front of the team.

Gong Jingyu Feng Shen walked handsomely in front of him, his handsome and resolute face without a trace of tiredness, as if they had really arrived leisurely with the royal guard of honor along the way.

There is no indication that he was assassinated on the way.

Gong Jingyu didn't seem to be able to see her at all, so he only concentrated on riding to the gate, got off the horse, and the emperor also came out of the palace.

The emperor wore a dragon robe, and the Son of Heaven was majestic.

Everyone knelt down to say goodbye, Su Yingtong followed honestly, and only stood up when the emperor let people crowd into the temple.

Only the people in the team were sorting out the emperor's things and horses, and the rest were gone.

Su Yingtong glanced at it from a distance, and saw the tall figure of the Palace Mirror Domain walking in front of a group of people, and there was no shadow when he turned the corner.

I couldn't help but be depressed by the cold attitude of the palace mirror domain, and it wasn't that I couldn't see her, and I would die if I made eye contact with her.

Depressed, she turned around and went back to the room, anyway, except for the current queen, no woman can participate in the ceremony, which just saves trouble, so she doesn't want to volunteer to appear in the blessing meeting.

Su Yingtong was playing with Da Bai in the room, and suddenly there was a noise outside the door, Su Yingtong thought it was a little noisy to prepare for the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky, but how did he know that the noise outside the door was getting louder and louder, and there was a tense atmosphere.

Just as he was about to let Qingzhu go out to see what was going on, a little novice hurriedly came in and reported: "The princess is not good, the senior brother under the mountain sent someone to report, and a large army is coming up the mountain......"

Su Yingtong was shocked: "What the hell is going on?" ”

The little novice was flustered and couldn't say clearly.

Su Yingtong couldn't sit still anymore, "I'll go out and have a look." ”

At this time, Chen Li was outside asking to see him, and Su Yingtong hurriedly let him in and asked, "What is the origin of the army under the mountain?" ”

Chen Li said solemnly: "The prince's staff general confirmed that some of them are the Ninth Prince's border army, and the rest are the northern camp army. ”

The Nine Princes are in the southwest fiefdom, and his army is mainly responsible for dealing with Haikou, saying that it is his army, but the actual control is on the assisting generals sent by Gong Yilin. The Nine Princes have been in the fiefdom very well, and they will never return to Beijing without the Holy Edict, and they will not even return to Kyoto for the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner, how can they never imagine that as soon as he shows his face, it is such a big battle, and the Beiying army is under the control of the palace mirror domain, and it is also the type that has always been divided and guarded, and the general in charge is not the Ming Zheng Li Qiutang of the military department who is very happy, so I don't know who he was used by this time, so he fainted and sent troops privately.

"What slogan did the Nine Princes raise their troops to the north?"

Seeing that the princess was in such a dangerous situation, and her mind could remain so clear, Chen Li admired, "King Qin." The ninth prince received a secret edict from the emperor, and the king of Xiangyuan tried to rebel, kidnapping the saint, and then raised troops to the king. ”

"What about Li Qiutang, what excuse do you have."

"Raising soldiers for a thousand days, using soldiers for a while, there are difficulties in the saint, and Beiying is determined to escort it."

"Is there any news from the Imperial Palace, what happened to Kyoto?"

"A secret agent came to report that Kyoto has been sealed down, and the Imperial Forest Army is stationed at the city gate on the order of the Queen Mother, and the palace is safe for the time being."

I almost forgot that the palace still has the queen mother in charge, but she is used to seeing storms around the emperor, just a few chaotic ministers and thieves, and the queen mother will not take it seriously.

I can't see that the Nine Princes have such ambitions, now that the army of the Palace Mirror Domain is far away from the frontier, the Nine Princes and Li Qiutang will attack from the north and south, in case they capture the big mountain of Hualin Temple, the history books will let him rewrite it.

When rescuing the driver, the king of Xiangyuan held the saint hostage and failed to threaten it, so he killed the emperor by mistake, and was later shot by random arrows.

If they all die on this mountain, then the world will change hands.

"How many people are in the emperor's army, and how long can they resist." The emperor will never leave Beijing rashly and come here, otherwise he may die many times, if it is so easy to be "King Qin", then Gong Yilin is too rookie.

"The Ansan camp can support, but it will take some time, the prince has sent someone to search the mountain to ensure the safety of the temple, and the prince ordered his subordinates to bring the princess to the ceremony of worshipping the sky, where there are guards to guard, it is safer."

"Is the festival still going on?"

"Yes, this is a ceremony related to the peace and security of the country and the people, and it can appease the people of the world, and the time must not be missed."

Su Yingtong let Qingzhu hold Dabai, and walked towards the altar of the sacrifice to the sky, along the way to see the monks all waiting for the battle, and couldn't help but admire the good time that the Nine Princes were looking for, Xiling and Shan Ping were about to open a station, and the army of the Palace Mirror Domain must be stationed on the frontier, which made him increase his chances of winning, in case he succeeded, it was a good opportunity to turn over, and it was a failure, as long as he destroyed the ceremony of sacrificing the sky, and then made remarks among the people, pointing to the death of the West Spirit, causing panic among the people, internal and external troubles, if it is not handled well, the West Spirit is not far from the country.

This Nine Princes is also ruthless, and it is not easy to lurk in the fiefdom for so long.

When I went to the altar, it was obviously much quieter, and what should be done was still going on, as if the rebel army outside did not save zài.

Found the palace mirror domain in the crowd, and saw that he was still standing calmly beside the emperor, occasionally leaving to explain a few words to his subordinates and returning to the ceremony, he had always been very calm, and he didn't show any anxiety.

I have to admire the psychological endurance of the palace mirror domain, it is simply invincible.

At this time, Gong Jingyu also saw her, got off the high platform and walked to her, and said in a low voice: "Follow me later, don't run around." ”

Although Su Yingtong was angry that Gong Jingyu turned a blind eye to her when he entered the temple in the morning, it was impossible to be angry with him at this time, so he agreed: "You are busy with yourself, don't worry about me, I will take care of myself." ”

Gong Jingyu still arranged a few guards for her, and told her a few words before returning to the high platform.

The process of the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens is complicated, Gong Yilin has always been very calm, and a whole set of complicated rituals has come down, without half a point of stagnation, Su Yingtong almost doubts whether he knows that the rebels under the mountain have attacked.

I don't know, I can't do it.

It can only be said that this young emperor does have his ability.

Su Yingtong looked at Gong Yilin seriously, and saw that although he didn't have any special expression, the unhappiness on his face was obvious, and he could imagine how angry he was in his heart.

It's only been how many years I've been on the throne, and something like this has happened, it's just a naked irony! He has always been tolerant and generous, filial piety and respect to his father and brother, and after succeeding to the throne, he did not suppress his hands and feet more, and established a generous image of benevolence in front of the world, and now, it is about to collapse.

Nine Princes, if he can't succeed today, then he will be greeted by a boundless hell.

Gong Jingyu came over and said to Su Yingtong: "I'm going out to have a look, you go to the middle hall with the guards, the princess is also there, I'll come back later." ”

"Palace Mirror Domain!" Su Yingtong stopped him and said in a low voice: "The rebels are not exactly rebels, it is estimated that many of them are unaware, thinking that they are really here for King Qin, if they can persuade them to surrender, can they intercede with the emperor and spare them once." ”

The palace mirror domain was silent.

He remembers having been in this situation once as a child. At that time, the emperor was still his playmate, the first emperor took them when he went out to patrol and hunt, how did he know that the prince at that time, his uncle led the army to rebel, they were trapped in the mountains, that time was the most angry time he saw the first emperor, after the fact the uncle was degraded to the common people, far with the frontier, the family members were exiled to the cold land, and they were not allowed to return to Beijing for life, and the soldiers who participated in the rebellion, whether they knew it or not, were all executed.

Eighty thousand soldiers were slaughtered in one night, and the mountains were littered with corpses.

After that year, he knew that no matter how gentle a person usually was, once the power was offended, it was time to turn his face and be ruthless.

The Nine Princes dug their own graves this time, and the soldiers who followed him were not spared.

Gong Jingyu didn't want Su Yingtong to know about the blood, so he only said, "I'll try my best." ”

Su Yingtong walked with the guards with confidence.

Gong Jingyu watched her back disappear around the corner before turning around.

Outside the temple gate is different from the quiet in the temple, well-trained soldiers patrol back and forth, and a soldier guards around the temple wall, turning the periphery of Hualin Temple into an iron bucket.

"The last general will see the prince," General Xiao, who followed the palace mirror domain to fight in the south and the north, saw the palace mirror domain come out, stepped forward and saluted, "There are more than 60,000 rebels in sight, and the ambush we set up on the road should make them lose 10,000, and it will take an hour and a half for the reinforcements of the Ansan battalion to arrive, and the three thousand elite soldiers with the team have been assigned to their subordinates at various intersections, and the monks with strong martial arts in the temple have also arranged the layout, the boulder bow and arrow explosives are ready, and the eight thousand elite soldiers who are ambushed in the temple can block ten with one, and we have the advantage in the terrain, and the weapons are sufficient, as long as we hold the passes, Waiting until reinforcements arrive is not a problem. ”

"It's not enough," Gong Jingyu said, "The Nine Princes are not completely sure that they will not send troops, and there are still some soldiers and horses in the North Camp who have not sent troops, so we have to prepare with both hands." ”

"What do you mean?" General Xiao was sweating profusely.

"Be careful that Kyoto is the goal of the Nine Princes," Gong Jingyu's voice was cold, "Send someone to explore the environment in Kyoto, don't forget that Prime Minister Su is still in Kyoto." ”
