The chessboard was set, but Shen Mingzhu frequently looked at the door of the tent. Cui Keyin saw it, she wanted to join in the fun, but she was embarrassed to speak. Cui Keyin also wanted to see the power of the cannon, so he pushed the chessboard, stood up, and said, "Let's go, let's take a look." ”

Shen Mingzhu was overjoyed, and Lu Ying and Moyu, who were waiting by his side, were also overjoyed, and it was rare to have the opportunity to see the cannon up close.

Cui Keyin dispatched, and naturally came all the way to the outside of the gate.

The tent was set up in a wide area under the city, separated from the city wall by a moat more than two feet wide. By this time, the gates had been blasted open, and splinters of wood and bricks were scattered all over the ground.

The imperial army did not enter the city, but lined up in formation by the moat, the tips of rows of spears glistening in the sun.

There was no one on the city or at the gate of the cave, and the defenders of Yiyang didn't know whether they were stupid or thought that the imperial army had cannons, so they ran back to the city in despair and hid.

Shen Mingzhu looked at it for a while, and said with some disappointment: "Why don't you attack the city yet?" ”

The city has been broken, and the army should rush up, what the hell is going on?

The smile rippled in Cui Keyin's eyes, she lost her parents when she was a child, and she really didn't want to see the tragedy happen in the world. This tragedy mainly refers to the murder of innocent people, leaving young children orphaned. Many soldiers died on the battlefield, mostly young and strong laborers, with elderly parents, young children, and wives who were looking forward to the door. Therefore, when the news of Zhou Kang's rebellion reached the capital, Cui Keyin mentioned it to Zhou Heng, hoping that he would minimize casualties.

Whether it is the soldiers of the imperial court or the soldiers of Zhou Kang, they are all the people of the Dajia Dynasty. That is, Zhou Heng's people, of course he has to protect it. Zhou Heng agreed without hesitation. This is the reason why the cannons have been shooting at the sky, blasting open the city gates to threaten the rebels, but not immediately attacking the city.

Shen Mingzhu didn't understand, Zhou Kang didn't know.

As the two spoke, an old man stumbled out of the irregularly shaped hole in the city gate, shouting something as he ran, and ran towards the moat.

Countless sharp arrows were aimed at the old man, and as soon as the general gave the order, the old man would be shot into a hedgehog.

The old man was so frightened that he raised his hands and raised the letter in his hand, shouting and shouting with a crying voice.

Cui Keyin carefully identified it for a while. Only then did he recognize this old man as Lu Guohua, who had sent a letter to Zhou Kang at noon. Looks like. This time it's another message? Why are you so grinding?

Two soldiers went over and escorted him.

The shining arrow was getting closer and closer, infinitely enlarged in front of him, and Lu Guohua trembled. For the first time, I felt that death was so near. Sweat poured down his forehead like rain. Until the archers passed. He was able to breathe again.

The two soldiers threw him on the ground, took the letter and walked towards Cui Keyin.

The generals who protected Cui Keyin saw Cui Keyin coming out of the camp tent and had already led people to use shields to arm her three or four feet in front of her. Make sure that the enemy's bow and arrows do not hurt the queen in the slightest.

Cui Keyin couldn't help but be a little surprised when she saw the soldiers hand over the letter to the generals who were deployed.

Shen Mingzhu snorted and said, "Shouldn't it be handed over to the emperor?" ”

How can these people be so blind?

Cui Keyin heard the sound of chuckling, and looked sideways, Zhou Heng didn't know when he was standing beside him. She lost her voice and said, "When did the emperor come?" ”

How did it come quietly?

Shen Mingzhu was startled, and withdrew his eyes that had been looking in the direction of the city wall, and sure enough, he saw Zhou Heng standing beside Cui Keyin in armor and heroically, and when he heard Cui Keyin speak, he looked at her with a smile and said, "Just came." ”

In fact, as soon as Cui Keyin went out, someone reported to him, the big war was imminent, but the queen ran to the battlefield to watch the battle, in case she was injured by a stray arrow, who could afford it? Of course, report to the emperor as soon as possible, and the emperor will be in charge.

Zhou Heng was discussing with the ministers in the tent, and when he heard that the queen was out of the account, he stopped the court discussion and came out.

If she is a concubine, she will naturally be used to the crime of confusing the lord and disrupting the country, maybe before she returns to Beijing, the impeachment will drown her, and the reputation of bringing disaster to the country and the people has long been spread. But the one in front of her is the queen, she is the mother of a country, the weight is naturally different, and the treatment is very different. The ministers knew the severity and acquiesced to the emperor's personal appearance.

Since the founding of Taizu, it has generally been in a peaceful and prosperous era, except for the occasional harassment of the border by Tatars, there was no war in the Dajia Dynasty. And Cui Keyin is a famous lady, it is usually difficult to go out, it is impossible to run around the street if she has nothing to do, not to mention war, even if there is a fight on the street, she has no chance to see it. If she wants to see people fight, why should he fulfill her wishes?

After Zhou Heng came out, he stood silently beside Cui Keyin, Cui Keyin's attention was on the other side of the moat, and naturally he didn't notice that Zhou Heng was coming.

Zhou Heng quietly stretched out one hand, held Cui Keyin's little hand, and said in a low voice, "Are you afraid?" ”

"Don't be afraid." Cui Keyin shook her backhand and said, "Will the concubine be here to hinder the emperor's affairs?" If it's in the way, go back. ”

His Yin Yin is sensible. Zhou Heng looked at her with a smile and said, "No." ”

Shen Mingzhu looked at the two of them in love with each other in the midst of thousands of troops, and when he thought of Emperor Zhi'an, his eyes turned red, and he suddenly lost the mood to see the excitement, and silently took two steps back, hesitating whether to go back.

Rejoice took the letter and presented it.

Zhou Heng glanced at it, took it, and asked Cui Keyin to read the letter in his hand, before saying to Huanxi: "Let the King of Chu tie himself up and surrender." ”

Lu Guohua received the command and collapsed to the ground, God forbid, the real emperor finally surrendered.

Surrender is such a thing, and you have to be willing to do it. Now that the three hours stipulated by Zhou Heng have passed for a few quarters of an hour, Zhou Heng is really going to destroy him, this is an excuse, the army can level Yiyang, because now the city wall has been broken.

Relieving his breath, the sixty-year-old Lu Guohua rushed into the city to report the good news.

After writing the table, Zhou Kang sat down on the chair and felt that all thoughts were lost. Is the emperor's dream broken like this? He has been preparing for more than ten years, and he has only been an emperor for one day, and he is about to become a prisoner?

Time seemed to pass very slowly, and it seemed to pass quickly, his mind was still blank, Lu Guohua came back, and shouted before entering the yamen: "The emperor has allowed us to surrender!" ”

The men in the courtyard who were as depressed as their fathers and mothers suddenly cheered, and one by one, as if they had returned from hell, they were recovering their spirits, and they also met with each other to drink and celebrate, as if they could do what they could do if they surrendered, and they had to ride horses.

Listening to the cheers in the courtyard, Zhou Kang's face turned pale, and he spit out another mouthful of blood.

If it weren't for these people's instigation, how could he rebel and establish himself as emperor? Now they can take refuge in the new Lord, but they themselves will become prisoners. I was deceived by these people!

Zhou Kangqian was so angry that he forgot that he wanted to be the emperor, slapped the table, and shouted: "Come on, take Zhang San and Li Si down and behead them." ”

The cheers stopped, and the courtyard returned to its deathly silence.

No one expected that Zhou Kang would kill people at this time, and the subordinates who followed him were killed, and for a while, everyone was in danger. The two people he named were all dogs who encouraged him to establish himself as emperor. (To be continued.) )
