The author has something to say: the final chapter, posted on the 3rd, and going out in the next two days. No more.

King Li reversed, began to court up and down did not expect the seriousness of the situation, King Li from the southwest to the Beijing division to thousands of miles away, along the way to pass through countless prefectures and counties, but did not expect King Li to go everywhere, only weak resistance, King Li army is like a bamboo, the court sent 100,000 soldiers to crusade against the rebellious division, and the army of the kings of the war, then a defeat, King Li Southwest Army brave and good at fighting, are elite cavalry, bow and horse skillful, obviously after a long period of preparation, King Li did not wait for the emperor to move, to a preemptive strike, take the initiative.

Emperor Zhao Shixian knew that King Li would rebel sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to be so soon, he had just sat firmly on the throne, and before he could make a move, King Li took the lead.

The news of the defeat at the front reached the Jingshi, and the whole Yuan Day did not go well.

In March, the willow green and pink, the clouds over the capital are overwhelming, the army of King Li is advancing rapidly, it is close to the Beijing Division, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military mood is heavy, and now there is no way out, only to defend the Beijing Division, and fight against the water.

Zhao Shijiao went down to the court, went back to the palace directly, closed the door, and said to Shen Xuanzhen: "You pack up your things quickly, I will send someone to send you out of the city, King Li's army will arrive in a few days, and Sun Chengwu, the guard of the northeast town, took advantage of the situation and reversed, the capital is back to the enemy, and the court has now sent no generals, trapped in the Beijing division, isolated, I don't know how long it can be supported, and one day the food and grass will be cut off, I am afraid that there will be no food." ”

Shen Wanzhen knew that what her husband said was not alarmist, and shook her head categorically, "If you don't go, I won't leave, death and life are together, if you don't go, I will never go first, not to mention that the queen mother is still in the palace, how can I go first?" ”

"You have a child in your belly, as long as the emperor doesn't leave at this time, neither I nor the queen mother can leave, the emperor has no intention of withdrawing from the capital, and the queen mother also wants you to leave first."

"I want to be with you, and I won't be separated for a moment."

Zhao Shijiao tried to persuade her, but Shen Wanzhen resolutely refused to agree, so she had to give up, hoping that the situation would turn around and turn the crisis into safety.

However, King Li's army came rapidly, attacked the capital in one fell swoop, and the soldiers came to the city, the courtiers panicked, and even the emperor was caught off guard.

Artillery rumbled all night, and King Li's army began to attack the city.

In the blink of an eye, in May, after a month of being trapped in the capital, there was a shortage of food, and things from outside the city could not be transported in, and there was a panic in the capital.

Several soldiers and horses entering the king of Beijing were intercepted by Sun Chengwu's troops and broken each one, and the capital was isolated and helpless, and there was only a dead defense.

The court was in a mess, noisy, the main battle faction wanted to defend the Beijing division, and the other faction of courtiers wanted the emperor to evacuate the capital as soon as possible and withdraw to the area of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, leaving the green mountains without worrying about the lack of firewood, and the emperor had another plan.

But there was even more bad news, Zhao Shijiao went down, Shen Wanzhen noticed his solemn face, and asked worriedly: "What's wrong?" ”

"The emperor wants to send me to Shaanxi to level the people and horses who are waiting for the distance to enter the king of Jingqin"

"Why did the emperor send the prince and not someone else?"

Zhao Shijiao saw that there was no one in front of him, and whispered: "You also know that the Emperor of the Dao is suspicious, at this time, send others to dispatch troops with a holy decree, in case the enemy surrenders halfway, or take the opportunity to raise an incident and fight against the court, not only did the court not get help, but also made many enemies, and it was already struggling to support, and the situation was even more difficult." ”

Shen Wanzhen said: "Does the emperor believe that the prince will not rebel, don't forget that not long ago, the emperor sent someone to search the palace of King An." ”

"Today is not as good as in the past, the situation is critical, the emperor knows that I will keep you in Beijing, not to mention that there is a queen mother in the palace, I will not rebel, the emperor understands in his heart, if King Li wins the throne, the first one to deal with is me, get rid of me, King Li can sit in peace, and the throne is right."

Shen Wanzhen couldn't help sneering, the emperor had such a thought, and it was difficult for the queen mother to treat him as her own.

"Zhao Zhang's army was transferred out of the border town, in case the foreign feudal clan took advantage of the situation to enter and capture the Central Plains, it would not be the front door to drive the wolf, and the back door to enter the tiger"

"You don't understand the emperor's thoughts, even if you give up the country to the foreign domain, you won't be cheap brothers."

Shen Wanzhen secretly thought that the emperor was unkind, and he was the same for the concubines and brothers.

She knew that the royal brothers were outstanding, good at riding and shooting, and had practiced kung fu since childhood, but she still said worriedly: "Outside the city is the army of King Li, how can the prince get out of the capital?" ”

"Don't worry, King Li's army can't stop me, although King Li has a lot of soldiers and horses, but the capital is so big, it is not easy for hundreds of thousands of troops to surround it, there are always weak points of prevention, besides, I walked in the middle of the night, in the dead of night, after a day of fighting, the rebels were sleepy and lacking, and there was an opportunity to take advantage of it."

Zhao Shijiao said again: "I'm most worried about you when I leave, you still live in the palace, it's safer than living outside the palace"

Shen Wanzhen shook her head, "I live in the palace, don't I understand that I tell others that the capital can't be guarded, so what does the emperor think?" ”

Zhao Shijiao was very worried, afraid that during his trip to Beijing, Shen Wanzhen would make a mistake, and said: "I will send someone to send you out of Beijing, and it is still too late." ”

Shen Wanzhen shook her head, "The Queen Mother is still in the palace, and my daughter-in-law's greed for life is afraid of death and fleeing for my life alone, how can I feel at ease?" ”

Zhao Shijiao said in a dull voice: "I'm afraid that if the capital can't be defended, the guards can protect you on the day the city is broken, but you are pregnant, and I am worried that the fetus will be lost." ”

"Now there is an army of King Li outside the city, I am out of the city now, the fetus is also dangerous, don't worry, I will act when I see the opportunity."

The two of them talked for half a night.

In the middle of the night of the next day, Zhao Shijiao took twenty guards with his cronies, put down the rope on the city wall, and the movement was fast, and people did not know it.

Ten days after Zhao Shijiao left, the cannon rumbled, shaking the heavens and the earth, King Li's army launched a general attack, King Li's army opened a gap in the city wall, poured in like a tide, and the main force of the soldiers defending the city was ordered by the emperor to retreat to the palace.

The capital was broken, Shen Wanzhen felt that the battle was particularly fierce this day, and her heart was pounding, Uncle Chen entered the upper room with a sword at night, and regardless of etiquette, he said to Shen Wanzhen: "Princess, the capital has fallen, and Weichen protects the princess and leaves quickly."

Shen Xuanzhen was surprisingly calm, "Now is not the time to go, the rebels are pouring into the capital, and it is not easy to get out of the chaotic army, King Li's next goal is to attack the palace and force the emperor to abdicate, and when King Li's army attacks the palace, it will not be too late to go." ”

Chen Fudao: "What the princess said is reasonable, you can't go out of the city at this time, there are troops inside and outside the city, it is better to stay in the palace to be safe, Prince Li has no intention of taking care of the royal family now." ”

In less than half a day, the rebels entered the city, and Chen Fu ran profusely, "Back to the princess, I don't know who strictly ordered that the Anwang Mansion should not be moved, the soldiers have protected our palace, and no one is allowed to approach." ”

At this time, Uncle Chen strode into the door at night, "Princess, King Li's troops don't know what they mean, they are not allowed to move the palace of An, Weichen looks, stay in the middle of the night, or break through the siege, half of King Li's army is stationed outside the city, and then attack the palace, the city gate will definitely not be closed day and night, just an opportunity."

Shen Wanzhen unconsciously pressed her lower abdomen, such a toss, she may be out of danger, but the fetus in her womb doesn't know if she can save it, if she insists on staying, in case, she hesitates.

At this time, a subordinate ran in, "Princess, the general who led the siege of the palace asked to see the princess." ”

Shen Xuanzhen couldn't guess what King Li meant, he didn't have a holiday with King An, let her go, this doesn't seem to be King Li's character, King Li can't take care of it for the time being, and he won't think of King An's Mansion so soon.

Shen Wanzhen said: "Please let him in"

Chen Fu personally went to open the corner gate, but he didn't dare to open the gate, for fear that the soldiers would swarm in, and the general would enter alone.

Shen Wanzhen watched him enter the hall, this is a middle-aged man, his steps are rigid, at first glance, he is a soldier, the general's loud voice and saluted respectfully, "The last general will meet Princess An"

Shen Wanzhen said: "General, please take a seat"

"In front of the princess, the last general will not dare"

The general looked left and right, Uncle Chen stood aside with his sword at night, staring at him, and there seemed to be a figure shaking behind the curtain, and the general smiled slightly, "Can the last general say a few words to the princess alone?" ”

Uncle Chen didn't plan to go down at night, he had to protect the princess at all times, he couldn't make a mistake, he wanted his own life, and the princess couldn't make a mistake, and the prince specially explained when he left.

Shen Wanzhen also hesitated in case the guards went down, the man took himself as a hostage, and he couldn't make up his mind, as soon as the person turned his head, Shen Wanzhen found that the man had a small sarcoma in his right ear, viviparous, she had seen it there in a trance, this person's straight and stiff body, so familiar, when had she seen it.

Suddenly, she remembered that when she was living in Taoxiwu in Qiantang, King Ping sent this person out, and she happened to see this person's back, although her face was not clear, but she looked at the sarcoma on her right ear carefully, and the back was very similar to that person, she suddenly understood why the army surrounded the palace, but did not enter to harass her.

Could it be that King Ping is a thief, she was shocked, she was shocked at that time, she saw that King Ping had something important to do, could it be a matter of contacting the rebellion, thinking of this, she said to Uncle Chen: "General Chen, take someone down"

Uncle Chen looked at the visitor vigilantly, and the princess's order did not dare to disobey, so he withdrew from the court.

The general was unusually shrewd, and seemed to feel, "The princess guessed who the last general is, right?" ”

Shen Xuanzhen nodded, "The general looks very similar to a person I've seen."

"The princess can rest assured"

Shen Wanzhen smiled, "Thank you for me, thank your master, saying that I have a heart"

The general clenched his fists and said respectfully: "The princess is really a smart person, the last general came here to get my master's orders, I am afraid that the princess will go out of the city late at night and the army will be chaotic outside the city, my master is afraid that the princess will make a mistake, so I have come to tell the princess that the princess will be safe." ”

That night, in the capital, the soldiers held torches high to illuminate the light, King Li's army began to attack the palace, the whole army was divided into two parts, the first half of the night to attack, the second half of the night this group of troops to withdraw and rest, replaced by another group of people, continue to attack the palace.

Throughout the night, the artillery fire did not stop, and the troops who withdrew from the city wall defended the palace and guarded the emperor.

Shen Wanzhen was worried about the safety of the Queen Mother, and the maids all gathered in the upper room, listening to the deafening artillery fire in the sky, and no one slept peacefully.

Xiuju said: "Master, the war is urgent, why does the emperor guard the palace and not withdraw, isn't this very dangerous?" ”

Shen Wanzhen shook her head, "Don't forget, there is the mother of Prince Li in the palace, and the emperor will not take Concubine Min Gui as a hostage to force King Li to withdraw his troops until the critical moment, after all, the victory is not martial, which makes the world laugh, if it is really urgent, it is not easy to say." ”

Xiuju said: "The master is right, Prince Li will not abandon his mother and be charged with disloyalty and filial piety, even if he ascends to the throne, he will leave a handle for the people of the world." ”
