When the Empress Dowager entered the inner hall of Fengzao Palace, it was already empty, only two or three eunuchs were shivering there, and it seemed that they already knew that the turmoil was coming.

At this time, Dai Quan had already followed the Queen Mother into the inner hall.

"The Queen Mother, the virtuous concubine is now in the palace."

The queen mother nodded, and then went straight to Jia Yuanchun's dormitory, and when she came to the door of the dormitory, she saw two or three palace maids standing there, and she was stunned and didn't know what to do?

Dai Quan hurriedly glanced at the palace maids in the back, and they got out of the way, and after the queen mother entered the palace, she saw Jia Yuanchun sitting on the phoenix bed with a child in her arms.

And standing next to Jia Yuanchun was his personal maid Huqin.

As soon as Jia Yuanchun saw the Empress Dowager coming in, he immediately stood up, but did not salute him, but looked at the Empress Dowager in full uniform and the gun in his hand in a daze.

Now Jia Yuanchun thought in his heart, could it be that she had offended the queen mother by saying everything she had in the palace during this time, and now she took advantage of the chaos to kill herself.

"What is the Queen Mother doing with a knife and a gun? Don't you want to give your concubine a death? ”

After Jia Yuanchun finished speaking, his eyes stared at the Queen Mother.

And the Empress Dowager looked at Jia Yuanchun calmly, "You think too much, the mourning family came here to preserve the last bloodline of the royal family." ”

Jia Yuanchun was relieved when she heard this, but she immediately felt dizzy and a little unsteady on her feet, and Baoqin next to her hurriedly helped her and sat down on the phoenix bed again.

Seeing Jia Yuanchun's incompetent appearance, the Queen Mother pursed her lips and smiled. If she hadn't relied on her brother, I'm afraid she would have disappeared in the harem by now.

The queen mother then said to Jia Yuanchun: "The things ahead are not good, the king of Zhongshun and his people have already launched a palace mutiny, and now the emperor has also been plundered by him, I don't know what they will do next?" With me here as a town, I will definitely keep you safe. ”

After the queen mother finished speaking, she ordered Dai Quan to put half a golden chair at the door of the palace, and she sat on it with her eyes closed and recuperated.

Jia Yuanchun was relieved to see this situation, and at the same time he was very grateful to the Queen Mother for coming to help him regardless of his previous suspicions, thinking that when Jia Ke came back, he must repay the Queen Mother's kindness.

In fact, the queen mother was not optimistic about the rebellion of the people who were loyal to the king, but she just thought that these people would probably be killed by Jia Ke in the end, so the only royal bloodline that could be left in the end was the child in Jia Yuanchun's arms.

For the sake of the imperial court's record, the king of Zhongshun must not be allowed to jump off the wall in a hurry and hurt the child's life, otherwise, I am afraid that the royal family will have a broken foundation.

The emperor, who was held hostage by everyone, returned to the palace of Zhongshun Wang, on top of the Yin'an Hall of King Zhongshun.

The people still let the emperor sit in the center, and they stood at the bottom, but the king of Zhongshun stood beside the emperor, holding on to the armrest of the seat in the center.

The royal relatives and the four kings and eight princes standing at the bottom looked at the appearance of the loyal king, and they were all a little angry, because the loyal king stood there, and when they gave a salute, wasn't it equivalent to the loyal king who knelt down?

Prince Yixiao saw that King Zhongshun was so perverse, which not only offended these people in Wang Bazhong, but even the relatives of the imperial family who originally supported him were dissatisfied with this, so they hurriedly came out to play a round.

"Now it's time for everyone to discuss state affairs, so you don't have to salute, if you have anything to say, you just tell the emperor."

King Zhongshun also discovered his own mistake, so he hurriedly remedied, "What the old emperor said is that now is not the time for everyone to salute, so it is better to discuss countermeasures quickly." ”

When the people in the hall saw the two of them talking like this, the atmosphere was relaxed.

The grandson of the king of Nan'an County, the first-class Gongsun Xuan, who has always had old grudges with Jia Ke, is now the first to stand up and say: "Now Jia Ke's family has left the capital, but there is another person who is Jia Ke's closest relative, but he is in Beijing. ”

King Zhongshun's eyes lit up after hearing this, and now if there is really such a person in his hands, even if Jia Ke is back, he can also rely on this person to save the life of his whole family.

"Who is it?"

"It's the Shangshu of Fengzao Palace, the virtuous concubine Jia Yuanchun."

As soon as Sun Xuan finished saying this, the emperor immediately became furious, and regardless of the Zhongshun King next to him, he walked to Sun Xuan's side in three steps and two steps, and hit him with his fist.

Although Sun Xuan said that he was ten times better than the emperor in martial arts, but in this public, he didn't dare to fight back, so he could only hug his head and run away.

The reason why the emperor was so excited was because Jia Yuanchun and her child were his last hope.

Although looking at the situation this time, he is finished, even these princes and nobles below may not be able to save their lives, but as long as Jia Yuanchun and the child are there, their dynasty will still be possible.

Now Sun Xuan has put his mind on Jia Yuanchun, how can the emperor endure it, if they really let them become, then their own family will really be over.

When King Zhongshun saw that the emperor was so excited, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and it seemed that this hit the emperor's soft underbelly.

"If someone comes to help the emperor to the back quickly, I see that the emperor is crazy."

At this order of the king of Zhongshun, several eunuchs immediately came over and forcibly pulled the emperor and dragged him to the back of the palace of Zhongshun.

The emperor was now involuntarily unable to help himself, and when he was dragged to his feet, he turned his head and said a word to everyone in the palace.

"Jia Yuanchun is the foundation of our dynasty and must not be moved."

Others didn't take it seriously when they heard this, but Prince Yixiao found out that something was wrong.

This person was scheming, and when he saw that the emperor was so anxious, he took this matter in his mind for a while, and then understood the emperor's plan.

It seems that the emperor wants to keep this Jia Yuanchun and her children to leave a trace of foundation for this dynasty.

But King Zhongshun didn't care what the emperor shouted, and said directly to Niu Jizong next to him: "General Niu, it's up to you now, you immediately lead people to attack, and bring Concubine Xiande and the little prince in her arms to the Zhongshun Palace." ”

Niu Jizong actually understood why the emperor was in a hurry, but now where can he manage his family's country, it would be good to be able to keep his reputation.

So Niu Jizong got the order and immediately led the men and horses straight to the palace.

When Niu Jizong broke into the palace and came to the Phoenix Claw Palace, he saw the Queen Mother sitting at the gate of the palace with a bright silver gun in her hand, blocking Niu Jizong's way.

Niu Jizong knew the deeds of this mother, so he didn't dare to slack off, came to the front of the queen mother, knelt down on one knee and hugged his fists and said: "The queen mother is not resting in Ningshou Gong, what is the matter in Fengzao Palace?" ”

The Empress Dowager entered these people and came to Fengzao Palace with knives and guns, and she knew what they were going to do.

"Are you here to be ordered by the King of Loyalty to take Jia Yuanchun and her children?"

Niu Jizhong didn't hide it, he stood up directly and said: "I can't hide anything from the Queen Mother, yes, we are on the orders of the emperor and the king of Zhongshun, and I came to invite the mother and the little prince to reunite with the emperor in the palace of Zhongshun." ”

The Empress Dowager sneered, and said to Niu Jizong with the silver gun in her hand: "The mourning family still don't think about it, with the mourning family's gun, you can't enter the Fengzao Palace." ”

Although Niu Jizong didn't take the queen mother in his eyes, but after so many years of imperial influence, he really didn't dare to do anything with the queen mother.

"The Queen Mother, this is a difficult task, if the virtuous concubine and the little prince don't go to the Zhongshun Palace, I'm afraid we won't have any lives."

The Queen Mother held a silver spear and stood there noncommittal.

Niu Jizong saw that the queen mother had no intention of compromising, so he didn't delay any longer, and with a wave of his hand, more than a dozen personal soldiers behind him rushed forward with swords.

When the queen mother saw these people rushing up, she didn't panic, and waved the silver spear in her hand to dial left and right, although these pro-soldiers were powerful, but behind the queen mother's door, she had secret skills that others didn't know.

With this kung fu, in just a few rounds, these dozen or so personal soldiers were all killed by the queen mother.

Niu Jizong was a little helpless when he saw this situation, so he could only carry a big knife to fight the queen mother.

The two sides fought for seven or eight rounds, although Niu Jizong was a first-class general and practiced martial arts when he was young, but after so many years of pampering, he left all his kung fu behind.

Although the queen mother is a woman, the turmoil more than ten years ago made her think of danger in times of peace, so she has often practiced marksmanship over the years.

In addition, the Queen Mother got the true inheritance of his father and learned an internal skill method called Moon Worship Gong, so she did not lose much strength.

Niu Jizong gradually felt that he was not the opponent of the Queen Mother, and Niu Jizong did not dare to order the army to forcibly attack Fengzao Palace, so he could only make a false move, jumped out of the circle, and withdrew from the palace with people embarrassed.

When the queen mother saw Niu Jizong leaving, she let out a long breath, if the other party really hugged her, she really couldn't stop these people with her own skills, but when she saw Niu Jizong, she still had some fear of the royal family in her heart, so she took people away.

However, in the Empress Dowager's mind, this was just a temporary measure, and when the King of Zhongshun sent someone to come again, it was not so stable. So the Queen Mother had an idea with a roll of her eyes.

Not to mention the chaos here in the capital, let's talk about Fan Kang in Baoding, as soon as he arrived in Baoding, he took over the army of Chun Yuhua at the end of Baoding.

Next, Fan Kang gave an order to the general soldiers and Jiedu Shi near the capital, asking them to block the road and not let a single soldier pass through their jurisdiction.

Next, Fan Kang ordered his secret agents to find out the situation in the capital.

As they expected, King Zhongshun and their people couldn't wait, and the day after Fan Kang and they left the capital, King Zhongshun and the people of the Four Kings and Eight Princes launched a mutiny.

Then the capital became a mess, not only did they collect silver taels and grain and grass everywhere, but also began to forcibly recruit strong men and distribute weapons.

Fan Kang sneered after hearing the news, these people were really naïve, thinking that these stragglers who had just been recruited wanted to confront Jia Ke's hundreds of thousands of elites, which was just an egg hitting a stone.

Fan Kang sat in Baoding and waited for the news for a day or two, and he had already understood the affairs of the capital clearly, and he knew that it was time to act, if it was delayed any longer, the capital would probably suffer heavy losses.

So Fan Kang ordered that the general soldiers and jiedu envoys of several roads slowly press towards the capital, so that they do not ask how fast they are, they must be foolproof, and they must not let these people break through.

Fan Kang himself also marched to the capital with the Baoding Jiedu envoy and tens of thousands of horses under his command.

Baoding is only a hundred miles away from the capital, and after two or two days of hard work, Fan Kang led people to the foot of the capital.

At this time, those people in the capital, the grain and grass blades have not yet been fully prepared, and it is not so easy to go south.

When Niu Jizong received a report from his subordinates that tens of thousands of soldiers came from outside the city, he felt that it was over.

But now he couldn't just throw up his life, so he quickly ordered the city gates to be closed, and at the same time ordered all his troops to go to the city.

And those newly recruited stragglers can only serve as a response under the city.

After Niu Jizong arranged this, he took a few personal soldiers and rode fast horses directly to the Zhongshun Palace.

At this time, King Zhongshun did not know that the soldiers outside had come, and he was discussing with several centers how to form the imperial court when he went to Jinling.

These people didn't pay attention to the obstacles along the way, as well as the countless soldiers and horses, as if as long as they left the capital, they would be able to reach Jinling City safely, and the guards of Jinling City would happily introduce them into the city.
