The New Year of Yongjing is not destined to be spent in tranquility, in the early morning of the second day of the first lunar month, soon after dawn, there began to be chaos on the streets of Yongjing, countless large families of carriages full of valuable belongings and wives and children, rushing on the streets, soon, there are more and more people fleeing the city on the streets of Yongjing.

This is a prophet, Shenji 30,000 iron cavalry stationed in Xinfeng, and Huayin County and Zheng County have successively sent an urgent report of flying pigeons, there are more than 100,000 troops are like the capital, a large number of families have received such news, they immediately realized that Shenren Tu is going to rebel.

Shen Ji's massacre of the royal family in Xinfeng County has earned him the nickname of Shen Rentu, and people describe him as two feet tall, with eyes like lanterns, blood swallowing the sky, and eating human flesh.

The image of Shen Ren's fear has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, as the news spreads like wings, the fear quickly spreads in Yongjing City, and the large families are passed from family members to subordinates, from subordinates to relatives, and from relatives to neighbors to friends, in just half a day, Yongjing City is boiling.

The fear of the people even exceeds the rout of Luojing City, every household is packing up their things, and the streets are beginning to appear fleeing crowds, since ancient times, the people's tolerance for all kinds of risks is extremely fragile, the slightest danger appears, people's first reaction is to flee.

By noon, the whole Yongjing City was boiling, the deep fear of the Shen people slaughtered hundreds of thousands of people into the tide of fleeing, people on the street to help the old and the young, crying dad and calling mother, chaos, hundreds of thousands of people in Yongjing City gathered into a mighty wave of several people, to the west, to the south, to the major city gates.

Bai Mingkai's mansion was also in chaos, his subordinates asked for leave to go home, more than a hundred subordinates found various excuses to leave, and in the end, only a dozen loyal old servants and personal maids remained.

Bai Mingkai was not distracted, he was still sitting in the study and reading, although he didn't expect Shen Ji to be so ambitious, obviously he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to seize power, but Bai Mingkai was not panicked, when it was time to leave, he would leave calmly.

"Master, there's news."

The housekeeper rushed to report in a panic: "Jin Shilang and Pei Shaoqing's mansion has been locked, and they left the capital early in the morning. ”

"I see, go ahead!"

Bai Mingkai wanted to stop his two henchmen, don't panic, and act with him, but the two of them escaped first, which made Bai Mingkai shake his head, even high-ranking officials like Shilang and Shaoqing took the lead in escaping, so how could the people not panic?

"Sir!"

His wife, Cui Shi, walked into the study quickly, and she said worriedly: "At this time, everyone is running for their lives, how can you still have the heart to read?" Let's go too! ”

"Let's go?" Bai Mingkai glanced at her and smiled slightly: "Where do you want to go?" ”

"I heard that most of the people fled to Shuzhou, and we also entered Shu, master, what do you think?"

Bai Mingkai shook his head, "I won't go to Shuzhou." ”

"But... Master, no matter where we go, we must have a place to go! Once Shenji's army enters the city, the first thing is to find the master! ”

After all, Mrs. Cui is from a wealthy family, and she has some knowledge, she knows what Shen Ji is going to do when he enters the city, after Uncle Shen Guo leaves, her husband is the first minister of the capital, how could Shen Ji let him go, her heart is full of worry.

"Master, or let's enter the palace! Ask the Queen Mother for protection. ”

Bai Mingkai waved his hand, "Don't worry, don't worry, I will have a place to go." ”

At this moment, the housekeeper reported at the door, "Master, Mr. Tan is here." ”

Bai Mingkai was waiting for him, and he hurriedly said, "Invite him in!" ”

He then instructed his wife, "You can go and clean up your things first, a little simpler, just pack up some soft things." ”

"Good! I'll go. ”

Cui Shi turned around and went back to the inner courtyard, and after a while, the housekeeper brought Tan Ju in, and Tan Ju smiled when he entered the door: "Bai Shangshu is so leisurely, and now he still has the heart to read, I'm afraid there is only Bai Shangshu in the whole Chang'an." ”

Bai Mingkai put down the book and smiled, "What's the latest news from Mr. Tan?" ”

"Yes! Shenji's army has arrived in Weinan County, plus the 30,000 cavalry in Xinfeng County, a total of 180,000 troops, Shenji has made a desperate bet. ”

"If that's the case, I can only describe this person as mad."

"He's not crazy, he's just imitating the emperor back then, killing all the Wu royal family, he has been planning for a long time, and it's easy to wait for this opportunity, it just so happens that the Queen Mother dismissed him as the king of Qin, he found an excuse, but he was still stupid."

"He is very stupid, thinking that he can repeat the old path of Huangfu, but he doesn't know that the world is no longer the world of the past, Luo Jing is eyeing the side, he will only make wedding dresses for others when he does this."

Bai Mingkai sighed and asked again, "Then what does Mr. Tan think the situation will do in the future?" ”

"I think the key is to see if the Empress Dowager Shen is willing to let him be the regent, if he agrees, then the matter will settle down, if he refuses, then Shen Ji enters Beijing, there are only two choices."

"Then does Mr. Tan think the Queen Mother will agree?"

Tan Ju shook his head, "To be honest, I don't know, a woman's heart is difficult to ponder with common sense, if the Queen Mother is wiser, she will learn from Luojing, and push the administrative hall system and the regent system, so as to avoid a civil war, but the question is, will the courtiers agree?" ”

"Nope! No way. ”

Bai Mingkai said without hesitation: "I won't agree." ”

"Master, pack it up!" Outside the door, the anxious voice of his wife Cui Shi.

Tan Ju said with a smile: "The carriage at the door is ready, Xiangguo, please come with me!" ”

．．．．．．．．． In Xinfeng County, the old eunuch Lu Yingying came to Shenji's camp again, he was led into the big tent, and he trembled and saluted: "The old slave sees the general? ”

Shen Ji sat on the wide chair with a stinging sting, wearing a crown of armor, he squinted his eyes and said coldly: "Do you think that I am no longer His Royal Highness the King of Qin, just a general, right?" ”

"Nope! No! The old slave didn't dare, the old slave always thought that His Royal Highness was the King of Qin. ”

Shen Ji snorted and said, "What did my third sister ask you to do?" ”

"The queen mother means that she can restore His Royal Highness's title of King Qin, and then crown His Highness as the nominal regent, add the title of Shang's father, and canonize the prince as the king of the county."

"What do you mean by a titular regent?"

"That's it..... It's just that he doesn't ask about government affairs, he only has titles. ”

Shen Ji shook his head and laughed, "To this extent, is she still obsessed?" I really admired her, it seems, I was too weak, she couldn't feel my determination. ”

He sighed and asked Lu Yingying again, "Are you coming alone?" ”

"Old slave.... There were two more people outside. ”

Shen Ji waved his hand and said to the soldiers on the left and right: "Go and invite those two messengers in." ”

In a moment, the other two little eunuchs were invited into the tent, and Shen Ji looked at the three of them as well, and pointed at Lu Yingying, "Chop off this person's head!" ”

Lu Yingying was so frightened that he fell to his knees, kowtowed again and again, and cried: "Your Highness, the old slave is already sixty and three, just spare the old slave's life!" ”

Shen Ji drew his knife violently, waved his arm, and with a flash of cold light, Lu Yingying's head flew up, and plasma spurted out, scaring the other two little eunuchs to death on the spot.

Shen Ji instructed left and right, "Wake him up!" ”

The soldiers on the left and right woke up the two little eunuchs with cold water, wrapped their heads again, dragged the bodies out, and the two little eunuchs knelt on the ground, trembling with fright, their teeth chattering, and they couldn't even speak.

"Listen to the two of you, I won't kill you, tell the Queen Mother for me, I can not change the name of the country, or I can not usurp the throne, but I have two requirements, first, I am the regent, and second, make my young son the emperor, otherwise, I will set foot in Yongjing!"

He roared, "Do you hear me? ”

The two little eunuchs were so frightened that they almost fainted, "Listen.... Hear me! ”

"Get out of here!"

The two little eunuchs picked up the heads of the people on the ground and crawled away, Shen Ji smiled proudly, "Second sister, your next move, I know what you are going to go?" ”

．．．．．．．． In the palace, Empress Dowager Shen sat in the imperial study in a daze, her heart was full of fear and helplessness, she couldn't imagine that her second brother's ambition had swelled to such an extent, she thought that Shen Ji was just a simple impulse to kill all the royal family, now it seems that Shen Ji has been planning for a long time, if he does not meet the royal family in Xinfeng County, he will also kill the royal family after entering the city, which makes her feel an inexplicable fear, she doesn't know what kind of appalling thing Shen Ji will do again.

Until this time, the Empress Dowager Shen suddenly had a trace of regret, there was only one person who could really suppress Shen Ji, that was her eldest brother Uncle Shen Guo, with Uncle Shen Guo, Shen Ji did not dare to be so arrogant, perhaps it was because Uncle Shen Guo was gone, Shen Ji's hideous face began to be exposed.

Empress Dowager Shen sighed softly, the dispute with Uncle Shen is just a struggle for power, she can even compromise and implement the Empress Dowager's curtain and political hall system, at least to keep the political situation stable, but now, she and Shen Ji are a kind of life-and-death struggle, I knew it was so, why bother in the first place?

But it's too late to regret it, Empress Dowager Shen got up and paced slowly in the room, thinking about what to do, now her army is in Guannai and Jinju, it's too late to rush back, but now there are still 30,000 defenders in the capital, if you recruit again, there should be no problem with reaching 50,000, maybe you can hold the capital, no matter what, she will never leave the capital.

"Queen Mother!"

A palace maid reported, "They're back." ”

"Announce them in!"

After a while, two little eunuchs rushed in, and they cried loudly on the ground, "Queen Mother, Grandpa Lu..... What a miserable death! ”

"What!"

Empress Dowager Shen took two steps back and sat down on the chair all of a sudden, an irrepressible anger burning in her heart.

"What conditions did he make?"

"He put forward two conditions, first, he must be the regent, and second, he must make his youngest son emperor, otherwise he will ......"

"Otherwise what?"

"He said, otherwise he will set foot in Yongjing!"

Empress Dowager Shen sneered, "Shen Ji, you are too much, do you think that you can control the world with you?" ”

Empress Dowager Shen stood up suddenly, and said sharply: "Spread the will of the mourning family, immediately close the nine gates, seal Huang Jing as the general of the nine gates, strictly guard the city, and then send an urgent report to General Luo Zhiyu, and the army will return to Guanzhong immediately." ”
