Although the palace does not need to be in the early dynasty, but on the occasion of this important event, more and more people gather outside the Maomen, and the guards of the gate are all blocked except for a few important ministers to enter the palace. In the long story, how Huang Xie prepared for rebellion The more he said it, the more he described it, the more he described it, the darker and darker it became, so that those officials who were usually close to Huang Xie did not dare to say a mouthful, they only hoped that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could distinguish between loyalty and treachery, and would not put himself in prison in the name of rebellion, and then even the whole family.

The nobles and officials outside the palace whispered, and in the middle of the sleep, under the gaze of these old ministers of Zhao Huang, Xiong Jinggang gave Jinghua the full power to mobilize all the manpower and material resources of Yingdu in the name of the prison state, only the palace was not in it. Jing Hua had no objection to this, but his general Lifeng said several times that the left army was not strong enough, and the lack of troops was afraid that the city defense would be lost.

Xiong Jing also wanted to send sanitation to the outer city to help defend the city at first, but the strategists of the War Bureau did not think so. He thinks that Huang Xie has been Ling Yin for more than 20 years, the tree is big and the roots are deep, and the Yingdu looks like the city is high and the pool is deep, but there are eight city gates and two water gates, and the city cannot be defended if any gate fails. Since Huang Xie chose to rebel, there must be a strategy to break the city, rather than transferring troops to the outer city, it is better to save the troops to stick to the Wangcheng City, and wait for the return of the Great Sima of Xixian County - Feixun will not work after dawn, and this situation will not happen unless Yingdu changes.

In the past, when the Great Sima Mansion was reorganized, Xiong Jing once discussed that these nobles who ate dry rice were all old wine, and it was useless to fill new bottles, but now it seems that these old wines are still very profitable, and in a short period of time, these people have formulated the following countermeasures:

First: Huang Xie is opposed, the outer city cannot be held, the defense should be based on the royal city, and it is necessary to immediately equip martial law;

Second: the outer city is not sustainable, but the messenger can be sent to the outer city before the city is broken, and when the city is broken, try to go out of Ying, and ask for help in the direction of Xixian; At the same time, the dead soldier entered the Jiangdong division and asked to see Yangxu. Wu Di is the fief of Huang Xie, but Yue Di is not, and Sima Yangxu of Huiji County may be persuadable;

Third: Concubine Zhao's palace temple people are not credible, and they should be sent out of the palace to guard the city; Concubine Zhao, Concubine Tian, Concubine Han, Concubine Wei, Concubine Yan, Concubine Wu, ...... all concubines who have children should avoid the princess in the Ruoying Palace in case of loss; The small officials, temple people, vertical sons, and palace maids in the palace were arranged in columns to assist in defending the city in a timely manner;

Fourth: In addition to assisting Jinghua in defending the city, the craftsmen who built the palace should also be incorporated into the palace to replenish their combat strength;

Fifth: Although there are no men in the city, they should also be sent to tell them to order Yin to rebel and the rebels to attack the city, so as to correct the rights and wrongs of the people;

Sixth: grain, stones, rolling wood, instruments, crossbows, and ......all materials related to the defense of the city should be transported into the royal city as soon as possible;

Seventh: Killing the prince is the original cause of Huang Xie's siege, so Xiong Jing must strengthen the guard, and no one is allowed to approach Xiong Jing ten steps;

Eighth: The ministers and hundreds of officials should be in the ......

Three stinkers, one Zhuge Liang. Before Jing Hua entered the palace, the strategists of the War Bureau worked out fifteen countermeasures, especially the seventh one, which made Jing Hua secretly complain in his heart. No one is allowed to take ten steps close to Xiongjing, which is equivalent to saying that the killing plan has to be adjusted again, and the fish intestine sword is prepared in vain.

He Pi walked out of the road gate quickly, and saw the temple people, the erectors, and the palace maids walking quickly, or carrying big wooden horses to set up obstacles at the gates of the palace, Jinghua had another layer of worry: the palace is a three-entry compound, and each of them has a thick gate that can be closed. In addition to the gate, it is likely that there is a thousand catties hanging door, even if Wu Shen's more than 1,000 dead soldiers enter the palace, they may not be able to break through the road gate and enter the main bed.

"Can Jinghua hold on?" Standing in the main bedroom atrium, you can see the place other than the main face along the south murodo. Xiong Jing was still a little worried about the outer city, worried that the outer city would not be able to hold on for a few days.

"If there is no internal response, even if the outer city can't hold it, it can still be reinforced." On the side, Yin Luyangjun of the Great Sima Mansion told him. "More than 20 days ago, Da Sima summoned me, telling me to be careful about changes in Yingdu, and to tell each other three times a day that nothing happened."

Lu Yangjun's addition only wanted to explain that Da Sima would definitely lead the army back to help, but Xiong Jing read another meaning. "More than 20 days ago...... his tears suddenly fell, "Did your father die more than 20 days ago?" ”

"Your Royal Highness......" Lu Yangjun was taken aback, although Xiong Jing's guess was not unreasonable, but he still persuaded: "The king is not a short-lived person, Xu is Da Sima received some reports of Huang Xie's rebellion more than 20 days ago, and this is ....... ”

"Your Highness, the king is on the expedition with a disease, and this is also following the ancestral teachings. It is the fall, and it is also the blessing of the Chu country and the luck of the king. Zhao Huang was mad from the moment he learned that Huang Xie had rebelled, and he is still angry, and his persuasive tone is full of bluntness.

"Your Highness, don't worry." Song Yu was also invited to the main bed as the crown prince, "Birth, old age, sickness and death are all providential, and whether the king ascends to the pole or not is also providential." Today's important person is to defend Yingdu to wait for Da Sima to come back. Song Yu persuaded Xiong Jing, and he finally emphasized: "Your Highness, the Qin people are attacking me, Qi Wei wants to move, if the king falls, the Chu State must not be without His Royal Highness." ”

Although it is not explicitly stated that the king has died, Song Yu's words contain such a meaning: Xiong Jing is already the king of Chu, although everything is in a hurry at the moment, and even the possibility of life is not guaranteed, but this country still needs Xiong Jing to clean up little by little.

"Exactly, exactly." The ministers immediately agreed. "The country of Chu can't live without His Highness for a day, please don't worry about Your Highness."

"Doctors, get up." Xiong Jing just wept, not wept. "Speaking of my father, I, I dreamed of my father last night, maybe I was too worried about it......"

I actually dreamed of the king's ......, and the ministers looked at each other. After the servant Guan Ji came out of the ranks, he said very solemnly: "Please tell Your Highness about this dream." ”

A dream is not a good dream, Xiong Jing couldn't understand why the ministers were like this, and asked, "Is it very important?" ”

"Your Highness is the Holy King, dreams are the will of heaven, and they are extremely important." Sikong Tang Yi also said, "Please tell Your Highness." ”

"Last night I dreamed of ......" Xiong Jing woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep, and when he slept again, he had a dream. He sorted out his thoughts, and only then said: "I dreamed that there was a fire in the middle of the night, and the fire was blazing and soaring to the sky, and I was afraid that it could be seen for hundreds of miles..., and then I saw my father looking back at me outside the road gate, so I followed, and followed until I reached Maomen, but when I left Maomen, my father was gone. I turned the inner screen, but I saw that the roads, houses, and city walls outside the palace were gone, and some were just mud floors. ”

"Ahh Guan Ji gasped, he and Tang Yi glanced at each other, held their breath and asked, "Is Your Highness going out of the Mao Gate into the mud?" ”

"I didn't go out of the house, but I saw that the outside of the palace was all mud." Xiong Jing replied, a little puzzled by the question of watching the season.

"Good omen, good omen." Guanji suddenly worshipped, and it was not the Xiongjing in the north that he worshipped, but the Sheji Ancestral Temple in the south. Everyone was confused for a while before he began to interpret the dream: "Muddy ground, dead ground!" In the past, when the first monarch was king, before the battle of Yanling, the Jin doctor Lu Qi also had a dream, and his dream had shot the moon, and retreated into the mud. The Jin people occupy it and say: Ji surname, Riya; With a different surname, the moon is also, and the moon will be the king of the Chu country. If you shoot it, you will retreat into the mud, and you will die.

When the battle began, Lu Qiguo shot the eyes of the first monarch and the king, and the first monarch and the king. The first monarch was angry, summoned Youji, gave him two arrows, and ordered him to shoot Lu Qi to take revenge. The one who raised the foundation, the god of Chu also shot also, pierced Yang in a hundred steps, shot Lu Qi in the middle, Lu Qi died, and then returned to life with the remaining arrow. ”

It's just a muddy field to watch the season, and the past of hundreds of years ago is recalled, but everyone forgot to breathe when they heard it, and their hearts were sweating for His Royal Highness the eldest son who didn't go into the mud: Fortunately, I woke up at that time, otherwise......

"What about the fire?" Xiong Jing also listened attentively, he didn't expect that the calm mud in his dream turned out to be a bad omen, it seems that he must not go into the mud next time he dreams.

"I, Chu Guo, is after Zhu Rong, Zhu Rong, and the fire master is also. The sleeping is the king's bed, the sleeping is on fire, the fire is soaring to the sky, this is the breath of the king of Chu, its glory is hundreds of miles away, it seems that the Qin people will not be long after retreating. Taibu, who explained the mud, spoke in an extremely brisk tone, with a few smiles on his face, and he also took out a piece of tortoise shell: "The minister is also good luck in the morning." ”

"Ahh Xiong Jing let out a low sigh, he thought that the fire was a bad omen, but he didn't expect it to be a good omen, and even the Qin people had to retreat.

"Taibuzhi's statement is credible." Song Yu was the first to stand up and endorse.

"Credible, credible. After Zhu Rong, the royal family of Chu, fire is a good omen, and water and mud are bad omens. Gong Yin wiped his sweat.

"It's useless to gossip, doctors, please follow what has been discussed before, and take your places." After being stunned for a while, Xiong Jing came back to his senses from the interpretation of the season, he didn't expect that the Qin army would retreat so far, all he wanted now was to live.

*

"The eldest son actually coped like this." When watching the season and interpreting the dream, Jing Hua, who returned to the Yin Mansion in the city, told everyone about entering the palace. Fortunately, the temporary military officer Fan Zeng has already taken countermeasures to this, otherwise he heard that Xiong Jing planned to use Wangcheng as the focus of defense, and everyone would definitely fry the pot.

It is a great achievement to support the establishment of the king of Chu, whether it is a fief or a reward, there will naturally be no less wealth and nobility in the future, but rebellion is a big crime, if you don't kill Xiong Jing this time, but let Nao cunning save it, everyone will punish the three clans.

"Without him, when Li Yuan attacked the city, he asked the eldest son to go out of the palace and go to the city in the name of refuting rumors, and if he didn't come out, he abandoned the east gate in the middle of the night and let Li Yuan's army enter the city. At that time, more than 1,000 dead people of Dr. Wu can enter the palace to kill him. Fan Zeng still had an arrogant look, which was already in his calculations.

"The palace has ordered others not to get ten steps close to the eldest son." Jing Hua is not without worries, all the arrangements are just to kill the prince Xiong Jing, right now, it is rare to succeed if it is not close to ten steps, but it is only ten steps closer to succeed?

"Don't worry, general, kill one person in ten steps, I often do it." A guard standing behind him suddenly spoke, this person was about thirty years old, with a long sword at his waist, and his fierce spirit was fully displayed.

"The eldest son is surrounded by red-clothed sanitation, and these people ......" This person does not speak and does not attract attention, but as soon as he speaks, there is a tendency to be convincing. Jing Hua was worried that he would not be able to succeed, when he entered the palace just now to discuss defending the city, he also had the idea of killing Xiong Jing on the spot, at that time the two were less than ten steps, and he did not do it because he was worried about the red-clothed sanitation around Xiong Jing.

"The red-clothed clothes of Chu State are fierce and dare to die, I knew it in the past." This person insisted, and he did not object. "Please let the general bring me ten steps closer, and I will kill him."
