Chapter 766: I'll Stay
Youjing Linshuo Palace.
Late autumn has arrived, and the red leaves outside the palace are red in the middle of the mountain, which is very beautiful.
On the stargazing pavilion in the rockery of the harem garden, Li Zhiwan and Jian Xue's master and servant sat in the pavilion.
Li Zhiwan was wearing a fox fur, holding her chin, enjoying the autumn scenery, while Jian Xuedao was pouting, her face was full of unhappiness, and she was muttering while Li Zhiwan was cooking tea beside her.
"Niangniang, this Youjing is really lonely, not as good as Chang'an, Taiyuan, cold, and not fun, you can't go out of the palace casually, in the past, when you were on your birthday, the people who came to congratulate and give gifts were about to break the threshold of our house, the prince and the king of Qi have congratulatory gifts every year, I still remember that the Mid-Autumn Festival prince invited the best hundred operas in Chang'an......"
Li Zhiwan looked at the red leaves in the middle of the mountain and said lightly: "Then why don't I stay, and you go back to Chang'an first?" ”
Jian Xue pouted and said, "Miss, I'll just complain, I can't live this day without people complaining." ”
Li Zhiwan explained the fox fur: "I comfort you, who comforts me, since entering the palace, I have not been on good terms with the queen, this queen is worthy of being the princess of the previous dynasty, and the means are really powerful, and she doesn't need to do anything deliberately." The people of the Sixth House have been much colder to me. ”
Jian Xue lowered her head and said, "Miss, you abandoned Chang'an, your relatives, betrayed the Li family, and married the Son of Heaven, do you regret it?" ”
Li Zhiwan turned around and said: "I have told me a few times, this path is my choice, how can I talk about regrets." ”
Listening to Li Zhiwan's words, Jian Xue grinned and buried her head, until Li Chongjiu left, the master and servant were idle and bored every day, but they quarreled like this every day. After bickering, Li Zhiwan looked at the red leaves in the middle of the mountain. Jian Xue continued to cook tea.
"This is the Jiangnan fragrant tea that His Majesty specially ordered to send after he captured Jiangdu." Jian Xue said with a grin.
Li Zhiwan took the tea bowl. Just as he was taking a sip, there was a sound of messy footsteps in the palace. In the middle, there was the clanging sound of armor colliding.
Li Zhiwan had been on the horse for a long time, and as soon as she heard the hurried footsteps of this soldier, she knew what was happening, and stood up in her clothes at the moment, but saw a team of court guards in the Linshuo Palace rushing to the pavilion.
The general of the Imperial Guard, led by the Imperial Guard, bowed to Li Zhiwan and said, "Qi Niangniang, the last general has been ordered to come to protect Niangniang to the Youjing City." ”
Li Zhiwan asked, "What's the matter and how can you panic?" ”
The general of the court guard said: "Back to Niangniang, the Turkic 200,000 iron horsemen invaded the territory, bypassed Huaihuang, and Yuyi two towns. After breaking through the garrison of the Great Wall, it has already attacked Sene. ”
As soon as this person finished speaking, he secretly raised his eyes to look at Li Zhiwan's expression, but seeing that she was very calm, there was no trace of fear. It seems that he did not put the 200,000 Turkic iron horsemen in his eyes at all.
The general guessed in his heart what the origin of this lady was, but he still said: "Now there is a beacon fire outside Youjing City, and Linshuo Palace was built outside Youjing City, when the last Turkic attack. A fierce battle broke out here, so the queen asked the concubine to take refuge in the city. ”
"Okay, I'll go with you. Lead the way! ”
"What valuables do you want to bring?"
Li Zhiwan said: "No need, the military situation is like fire." If you can, you may lend each of your blades to our master and your servant. At least you can defend yourself in times of rebellion. ”
The general was stunned for a moment, and when he saw that the other party was not joking, he immediately said: "Yes, the last general will do it." ”
From Linshuo Palace to the north gate of Youjing City, on the road that is broken for several miles, you can see the scene of chaos everywhere.
The beacon towers erected on the rolling peaks in the distance of Yujing were lit one after another with long smoke. The wolf smoke that went straight to the sky broke through the tranquility near Youjing and woke up the peaceful people. The Turkic iron cavalry has not yet arrived, but it seems that the sound of horses' hooves has stepped on everyone's heart.
Li Zhiwan, looking at the people near Youjing, old and young, helping each other, countless people waved their arms, calling for their children and daughters in the crowd. Outside the city, the soldiers in leather armor were maintaining order, and there were many Yan Zhao Haoqiang's children, armed with swords and guns, riding horses, as if they wanted to fight the Turks.
The people near Youjing under the city have come to avoid, and the scale of the grass market in Youjing is even greater than that of Huaihuang Town, but there is no protection from the city wall of Huaihuang Town. The population gathered outside the city has exceeded 100,000, and when they heard the news of the Turkic attack, they could only take refuge in the city.
On the head of the northern city of Youjing City, Emperor Yang E looked at the scene of the people under the city helping each other into the city, and couldn't help but turn around and said angrily to the two Zaifu of Zhao State behind him: "You keep saying that Youjing is worry-free and not afraid of Turkic attacks, these words are still in your ears yesterday, but today it has become like this, how can you make our court worthy of thousands of people who believe in us?" ”
Seeing that Emperor Yang E was angry, Wen Yanbo could only say: "Empress, this time the Turks attacked the city of Youjing again, mainly because the Turks were defeated too quickly, far beyond our expectations, who would have known that the Turkic army of seventy or eighty thousand would collapse so quickly." Tuli will collapse, but my original cavalry of 50,000 horses has not returned from Shanxi, and His Majesty is also in Luoyang, and the troops of the Song Desert Protectorate and the Weak Water Prefecture Protectorate are not enough to contain the 200,000 iron cavalry of Jieli Khan. That's why the Turks drove straight in. ”
Emperor Yang E shook his head and said: "This palace is not connected to military affairs, it is useless for you to tell me this, you just need to tell me if you can keep Youjing?" Wen Aiqing, this palace doesn't need you to say nice things, Wei Zheng, if you say it bluntly, no matter how bad the result is, this palace can bear it. ”
Wen Yanbo and Wei Zheng both lowered their heads.
Wei Zheng's face was expressionless, and he said at the moment: "Your Majesty Nanzheng has transferred the Wuwei Army, the Yi Wei Army, and the Ting Wei Army, and there are not many people in the city who can fight. This time is different from the last Turkic invasion, the last Turkic invasion, we were prepared for a long time, so although the shape is dangerous, but there is no big worry, but this time it is taken by surprise. Yi Weichen may not be able to hold on to Youjing. ”
"Do you mean to discard Yukyo?" Emperor Yang E asked, she looked at the tens of thousands of people under the city who were about to enter the city and asked Wei Zheng.
"Of course not," Wei Zheng straightened his back and said awe-inspiringly, "Empress Qiyu, Wechen has an old bone, there is nothing to pity, so Wechen is determined to bring a family of more than thirty to live and die with Youjing City." But the queen didn't have to take the risk, and implored the queen to leave Youjing with her majesty's children, so that Weichen could give it a go. ”
Emperor Yang E listened to Wei Zheng's words, nodded and looked at the north and said, "Wei Aiqing is right, the secluded capital city is indeed a dangerous place right now. It's a pity that my sister is not in Youjing, and there is no news, otherwise it will ......"
Speaking of this, Emperor Yang E wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, turned his head and said to the internal attendant: "It doesn't make sense to say this now, just follow what Wei Aiqing said, let the imperial concubine, Su Guiren, Ying'er, and Cai Wei leave Youjing and take a boat to Dengzhou for temporary refuge." ”
"No."
"Queen?" Wei Zheng was surprised.
Emperor Yang E nodded and said: "Youjing can't be left alone, at least let the people know that this palace is also in Youjing, and they will have some in their hearts!" (To be continued......)
