When the emperor heard Jia Ke asking him whether to summon the generals, he pondered for a while, and felt that it would be better to meet them, so that they could see themselves and appease their minds. Second, it can deter them and make them dare not make any small moves.

So the emperor decreed: "Let them wait in the big tent, and I will go to the big tent to meet them in a few moments." ”

Jia Ke immediately received the decree, and then went out to convey the emperor's will.

The Emperor sat in the tent and pondered again. I felt that there was nothing missing, and then I had to get up. As a result, as soon as I stood up, I felt dizzy and my body was shaky. This phenomenon has been frequent recently, and the imperial doctor said that it was overwork, so that the emperor could rest more. The emperor didn't pay attention to it at first, but now this time the attack was particularly severe, and his eyes were already gray, and he only felt that he couldn't see anything.

Dai Quan, who was next to him, hurriedly stepped forward to help the emperor and asked him to sit down again. The Emperor sat back on the bed and rested for a while, and then he was relieved. Then he glared at Dai Quan and said, "This matter is not allowed to be spread out, let me know that there is a little wind outside, and I want your head." ”

"Long live the lord, don't worry, the slave is bold, and he doesn't dare to say the emperor's gossip outside." Dai Quan hurriedly assured the emperor that since ancient times, any discomfort in the emperor's health may cause turmoil in the court, not to mention that now the prince has raised troops to rebel, if the emperor's health problems, when the time comes, maybe the prince can justifiably ascend the throne.

The emperor slowed down for a while, and felt that there was nothing wrong, so he got up again and walked out, and Dai Quan followed worriedly, for fear that the emperor would have any more accidents.

As soon as the emperor came out of the big tent, the soldiers standing outside the door knelt down and kowtowed to him, these people were all transferred by Jia Ke to protect the emperor's safety, and even the token for the transfer of troops was given to Dai Quan, and now these people are equivalent to the emperor's personal guards.

These soldiers are all carefully selected, have strong martial arts, and are passable. Like some crooked melons and cracked dates, Jia Ke has already kicked them out, and these people have been the face of the emperor for quite some time. If it looks too bumpy, the emperor's face will not look good.

Dai Quan took the token and called out more than 30 of them, and then hugged the emperor together and walked towards the big tent of the Chinese army.

As soon as the emperor entered the big tent of the Chinese army, the six or seven generals in the big tent knelt down together and pleaded guilty to the emperor. After all, the prince rebelled against them, and they didn't go out to stop it at the first time, so in the emperor's opinion, he was a little suspicious.

The emperor did not look at them kneeling on the ground, and directly entered the big tent of the Chinese army and sat on the big chair in the center. When he sat down, he said to the people below, "Get up, I will spare you this time." After all, you are still some faithful, and as soon as you see my holy decree, you will come to King Qin immediately. It can be regarded as making up for it. ”

The generals who were kneeling on the ground breathed a sigh of relief and stood up separately, but although they stood up, they didn't dare to breathe, for fear that something wrong would annoy the emperor.

The emperor sat on it as steady as Mount Tai, and asked slowly, "How are the soldiers and horses in Liaodong now?" ”

Wang Ziteng knows these things relatively clearly, since he joined forces with Jia Ke yesterday. The two discussed the current situation and how to deal with it in the account.

Wang Ziteng and Jia Ke are very optimistic about their actions, believing that the emperor is no longer in the way. Then the next step is how to defeat the prince's team.

Jia Ke knew the truth of knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent and not being defeated in a hundred battles, so he discussed with Wang Ziteng that they would each send a scout horse to explore near the capital, and they must be aware of the general direction of action of the men and horses commanded by the prince.

As the envoy of the Beijing camp, Wang Ziteng has controlled the three major battalions for many years, and is familiar with the geographical terrain near the capital. So the scout horse he sent was the main force this time.

Wang Ziteng sent almost all the cavalry that his subordinates could send, these people may not have much ability when fighting, but they still have some ability to listen to the news and hide and hide.

It didn't take long for the movements of the various departments under the prince's command to be heard by Wang Ziteng, and all this information was placed on Wang Ziteng's desk.

Just before the emperor summoned him, Jia Ke and Wang Ziteng carefully analyzed these situations, and finally thought that the prince was afraid that he would have to make a last stand, because he had already transferred all the troops into the capital, and this was to fight to the death with the emperor in the capital.

Now I heard the emperor asking from above, Wang Ziteng, as the emperor's confidant, naturally replied at this time, "Your Majesty, now the people and horses of the Liaodong Jiedu envoy have all withdrawn to the capital, and the military department Shangshu Huotu has also entered the capital with the forbidden army, and the commander of Jiumen with the infantry to lead the soldiers of the Yamen is also defending the city. These three divisions totaled more than 150,000 men, and they were now defending on the walls of the capital. ”

When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help gritting his teeth and roared loudly: "These rebellious ministers and thieves, I treat them well, I didn't expect these people to dare to plot to usurp the throne, and when they are attacking the capital, they will definitely be broken into thousands of pieces and beheaded all over the house." ”

When the people below heard the emperor's roar, they didn't dare to cheer out one by one, they were really afraid that the emperor would sprinkle his anger on them.

The emperor found a pass, and then said to the generals: "Have a good night's rest today, and tomorrow at dawn you will have a full meal of war food, and immediately attack the Jingshi." I don't want to wait a day. ”

At this time, Baoding Jiedu made Chun Yuhua arch his hand in the class and said: "Chen Baoding Jiedu makes Chun Yuhua have a foundation." ”

When the emperor heard this, he glanced at him, and then said, "Tell me what you have to say." ”

Chun Yuhua came out of the squad at this time, and in the middle of the battle, he clenched his fists and said: "Long live Qiyu, the grain and grass of our hundreds of thousands of horses are now supplied by the capital, and the grain and grass in the camp can last for seven days at most." If we don't break the city within seven days, I'm afraid we'll be in a desperate situation. Please ask the emperor to quickly collect grain and grass from all over the country, otherwise we will not be able to last. ”

When the emperor heard this, he frowned, he originally put the grain and grass in the capital, and he also had the intention of holding hostage to help the ministries. I didn't expect that it would create such a good opportunity for the prince now. Now it is to issue an order to collect food from all over the country, I am afraid that it will not be able to slow down the emergency, and if these people in the local area are the two ends of the first rat and inform the prince of this situation, the prince will not fight to defend the city.

Jia Ke felt that he should say a few words at this time, he knew that the emperor had been operating in the capital for many years, and the spies were all over the city, if they were used at this time to open the city gate for the army, then they could quickly break through the capital. In this way, the armies will not have to worry about the problem of food and grass.

So Jia Ke stood up and said to the emperor: "Minister, Jia Ke has a book to play." ”

As soon as the emperor heard that Jia Ke had something to say, he immediately changed his tone and became softer, "Jia Aiqing, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”

"Long live Qiyu, I have been operating in Beijing for many years, and now the high walls of the city are thick, if you attack it, I'm afraid the loss will be too great, I don't know if there is an internal response in the city, even if there is no internal response, as long as you buy and agree to the two generals who defend the city, and pardon their crimes, I think they will definitely act as the emperor's internal response, open the city gate for Your Majesty, and then we can drive straight in without damaging the soldiers, then the food and grass problem that plagues us will be solved."

Jia Ke gave up his thoughts completely, hoping to reduce the losses caused by the siege, after all, both sides are soldiers of this dynasty, and if they can die less, they can retain more vitality for this dynasty.

When the emperor heard Jia Ke's words, his eyes lit up, and he didn't think of using spies to open the city gate and break through the Jingshi quickly.

So the emperor glanced at Dai Quan next to him, after all, the royal spies were all controlled by Dai Quan, and it was time to use them. If they can open the gates, then it would be better.

When Dai Quan saw the emperor looking at him, he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, some of these things that the slaves have mastered can still be used." But I don't know how many people are willing to listen to the minions, but it is still possible to gather a few hundred people to open the gates for the army. Dai Quan said this, with a confident smile on his face, after all, he has mastered the entire Celestial Empire factory guard system for decades, and he still has this confidence.

When the emperor heard this, a smile appeared on his face. In this way, he will be able to return to the Imperial City tomorrow and settle down. When the time comes, he will see how the prince comes to see him.

After discussing this matter, the prince vacated the class and said, "Your Majesty, the situation in the capital is chaotic now. If the crown prince escapes and goes to the south to organize people and horses, what should he do if he rebels against the imperial court? ”

The emperor immediately frowned, he knew that the crown prince had been the prince for decades, and there was already a force around him, if the prince was allowed to escape, it would really be like Wang Ziteng said, and reorganize the people to fight against him.

What's more, if the crown prince escapes to the south, and then he will rule with the emperor by drawing a river, this is the most troublesome thing. Once this kind of thing happens, it means that the dynasty will be divided, and the south is a heavy place for taxation, and without the south, the north will be a little powerless in the face of various disasters.

"What Wang Aiqing said is very reasonable, what can you do to relieve my worries."

Taiyuan Jiedu made Wang Zuo anxious to show his merits, and immediately stood up and replied: "Your Majesty don't worry, we have 300,000 horses, although we can't surround the Jingshi. But it is still possible to divide men and horses to lay ambushes at each city gate. As long as he controls the various gates of the capital, the prince will not be able to fly out of the capital even if he has wings. When the time comes, as long as you search in the capital, you are not afraid that you will not find any trace of the prince. ”

When the emperor heard this, this was indeed the truth, and immediately ordered Wang Ziteng to lead his men and horses to block the nine gates, and not let one escape from the nine gates. The reason why Wang Ziteng was appointed to block the Nine Gates and not use anyone else was because Jia Ke, as his cronie, wanted to guard him. As for the other Jiedu envoys, the emperor still didn't believe much, in case one of them fell to the prince and supported the army and went south with the prince, it would be troublesome.

Jia Ke watched the excitement of their discussion below, but he didn't say a word, but he felt sad about their future in his heart, although the emperor now hates the prince to the core, but they are father and son after all, and after a while, this matter will calm down. The emperor must give birth to the love of father and son, and when the time comes, these people who give advice will be a thorn in the emperor's side.

These people may know the way of officialdom well, but they didn't expect that the emperor and the crown prince are flesh and blood after all, and blood is thicker than water. What's more, the crown prince has been personally educated by the emperor for decades, which is different from other princes. The emperor's way of being a prince is greater than the love of father and son. And for this prince, the love between father and son is greater than that of the monarch and the minister. This time, no matter who catches the prince in the end, on the surface, the credit is not small, but in the end, I am afraid that it will not end well.
