085 Cold Palace(28)
Although the imperial court has the battle-hardened General Hou in charge, the opponent is the promising General Hou!
Hou Meng took away most of Dongyue's elite and supplies when he went on the expedition, and now he held high the banner of righteousness, turned his gun to fight Dongyue, and the cities and counties along the way were completely invincible, and surrendered one after another.
The result of the emergency mobilization meeting was to hand over the command of the Gyeonggi Guard to General Hou, and let him lead this strong army to resist for a while, otherwise according to the speed of Hou Meng's rapid march, he would be able to attack the capital in a few days.
At the same time, the emperor sent a lobbyist to show affection to Hou Mengxiao, and moved him to reason, hoping that he could rein in the precipice and return to the lost way.
It's a pity that he thinks beautifully.
In the afternoon of the third day, a gray-faced messenger ran into the palace, and as soon as he entered the main hall, he knelt down and sobbed: "Your Majesty...... Gyeonggi Guards defeated...... General Hou was defeated in battle, and he was already ...... Martyrdom! ”
As he spoke, he took a blood-stained helmet from the package on his back and placed it upright on the main hall.
The ministers, who had been panicked since the night before, saw General Hou's helmet, and their slender nerves finally couldn't be stretched and broke one after another.
The timid courtiers sat on the ground in fright, and the faces of the bolder ones were also very unsightly.
What a little marquis, his wings are stiff, and he doesn't even pay attention to Lao Tzu!
And Xiaohou is not very gregarious in the first place, if he attacks him this time, won't he solve them all like chopping melons and vegetables?
The courtier, who was still sane, said: "Your Majesty! The capital is no longer safe, and Weichen asks the emperor to leave the capital immediately and take refuge in the south! ”
As he spoke, the officials sent out to negotiate finally returned, bringing back new bad news-
"Your Majesty! Hou Meng refused to surrender! The rebels threatened to enter the capital and change the dynasty......"
As if stunned, the Emperor sat in his seat, staring at him motionless.
Feng Rin has been accompanying him behind the curtain, where can she still sit and stay if such a big thing happens?
Difficulty B is already difficult to do like this, if there are A, A+, S, SS, SSS in the future...... Can she withstand it?
Grandma's, if you can't stand it, you have to top it!
Since she became pregnant, the emperor has been really good to her, so good that she wants to just live with him.
Now that he is in trouble, if he smears oil on the soles of his feet, he will be sorry for him, and second, she is pregnant with the imperial heir, and Hou Meng will not let her go.
As the emperor's favorite concubine, she shares weal and woe with the emperor.
Thinking of this, Feng Rin opened the curtain and stepped forward with a big belly.
The ministers all know the name of Fengcairen, and when they see it at this time, the number of etiquette still exists: "Fengcairen." ”
"Your Excellency is polite."
Feng Rin walked all the way to the emperor's side, shook his hand hard, and asked, "Hou Meng's rebellious army has come to the city, what are the emperor's plans?" ”
Hearing her question, the emperor seemed to come back to his senses, and said slowly: "General Hou can't stop it, and the Gyeonggi Guards are also defeated, and they can't be defeated...... Only escaped ......"
"Then withdraw." Feng Rinrin's voice was loud, "The emperor is the foundation of the country, as long as the emperor exists for a day, the rebels will always be rebels." The rebels are menacing, but the division is unknown, we must avoid its edge and save our strength first! ”
"Good, good......," said the Emperor, getting up, "Tell me to go south!" ”
The emperor moved his mouth, and everyone ran and broke their legs.
The emperor had to make a big show when he went out of the palace in plain clothes, and now that his family has moved south, the entire palace is in chaos.
As soon as the emperor left, the ministers and concubines naturally followed, and the eunuchs, palace maids, and courtiers' families were afraid of becoming Hou Jun's ghosts, so they all followed.
The order to move south was given at noon, and by the evening, the capital was already blocked by horse-drawn carriages.
The emperor naturally wanted to leave the capital first, he didn't have to worry about carrying luggage, and only carried the pregnant Feng Rin and the jade seal of the country by his side.
Although there is still a month before the due date, Feng Rin feels a little bad.
I don't know if she was frightened or tired, she always felt a pain in her stomach.
But seeing that the emperor was like a frightened bird, she could only endure the pain and hugged him into her arms: "It's okay emperor, Hou Meng conspired against his father and tried to change the dynasty, the subjects of Dongyue are deeply favored by the emperor, and there will definitely be benevolent and righteous teachers who will come out to fight against the thief!" ”
The emperor hugged her waist: "I'm sorry, Ah Lin...... You're about to give birth, and you're going to have to ride with me...... Sorry ......"
"Aren't we husband and wife? The husband sings with the wife, as it should be. Cheer yourself up and show your spirits, for your courtiers and concubines are all counting on you! ”
The Emperor straightened up and nodded vigorously.
The emperor and his entourage fled fast enough and were not blocked in the capital by Hou Meng's rapid march.
However, the relatives of the high-ranking officials who had not had time to withdraw were all detained by Hou Jun.
Hou Meng selected several relatives of traitorous ministers, both old and young, all of them were hanged, and their bodies were hung on the city wall for public display.
Because of the hot weather, the corpses on the city walls quickly decomposed, and the once prosperous and extravagant capital was filled with a smell of death.
Hou Meng came back this time under the banner of the righteous army, and he managed the army rigorously along the way, did not burn and loot, and the people he killed were all traitors and bullies who were the traitors and bullies of the disaster.
The emperor is obsessed with women and cannot govern the country, which is obvious to all, while the ancestors of the Hou family have guarded the territory for generations and have a very high prestige.
In contrast, the common people began to lean towards Hou Jun, believing that it would not matter if the emperor was replaced by Hou Meng.
Anyway, it is enough for the people to live a good life, and it makes little difference who becomes the emperor.
Hou Meng relied on his past prestige and a murderous monkey to gain a foothold in the capital, and then calmly commanded the army to pursue in the direction of the emperor's south.
Dongyue was founded for a hundred years, and there was still a bit of a foundation, and the emperor and his entourage passed through Zhuxia County, and the Zhuxia County Guard accepted them.
In the past few days, the emperor was in the shock of being betrayed by Hou Meng, and he never refused to face the reality.
But the situation did not allow the emperor to be stupid and sweet, so Feng Rin helped him up and asked him to publish the crusade against Hou Meng.
In the past, when she studied history, she knew that in ancient times, the two sides had to issue a crusade before going to war, occupy the moral high ground, and devalue each other as worthless.
Hou Meng rebelled for the first time, had no experience and did not yet realize this.
Anyway, it's an opponent, and Feng Rin is not polite to him.
Zhu Xia County is similar to Yingchuan in the Three Kingdoms of China, rich in talents, and as soon as the emperor ordered it, an excellent essay immediately stood out.
The writer is well versed in the way of controlling the enemy, and he greatly praised the glorious deeds of the Hou family following the founding emperor of Dongyue to conquer the south and the north, and the ancestors of the Hou family to protect the family and defend the country.
Then the pen turned, bitterly Chen Hou Meng failed the country's cultivation of him, the emperor trusted him so much, but he deceived the king and treason, plotted to usurp the throne, and killed the old general Hou who was admired by all the people.
Feng Rin read it twice and thought that the content was concise, the sentences were smooth, and it was very appealing.
The emperor covered the jade seal in a trance, and Feng Rin sent the crusade to the text in person.
