The mourning hall is very quiet, the news of Qi Jingyang's deposition has not yet been known to others, and there are only some rumors in Yongpingfang, but the people living here are not all ordinary people, most of them are powerful families in the officialdom, they can gain a firm foothold in the Shangjing Imperial Court, and naturally understand what to say and what not to say, so Yongpingfang has not spread this kind of news.

Besides, most of the people who know about this matter are already from Qi Jingqin's side, and the Qianwang Mansion has become the Xiangwang Mansion, and the Zhuwang Mansion is the former prince, which is a great good thing for them, which means that Qi Jingyang has stepped down, and the current situation is much clearer, which makes those who have been supporting Qi Jingqin secretly happy.

After the plaque of the Chung Wangfu was replaced, at least the major families of Yongpingfang already knew, but who the Chung Wang Ye was, now many people are not very clear, who would have thought that it would be the deposed prince, and only a few families living nearby know, but they are reluctant to talk about this kind of thing when they meet, and the holy decree has not yet been issued, they dare not assert it, if they are in a hurry to spread the news, they don't know what trouble they have caused in the past.

Yongpingfang is usually not lively, the lively places are the residences of ordinary people, those lively markets, usually the place where gossip is full of news, they only care about their own happiness, regardless of what happens after death. But they know better than anyone who lives in Yongpingfang, what to say, what to say, and what not to say, even when they come out on the road, they all look at each other and talk about other things with a smile.

Where is the royal matter so easy to discuss, if it is not good, it is the head of the landing, but at this time, what is the situation above the court, presumably everyone knows it, they are eager to do something else at this time, after all, when the prince succeeds to the throne, it is the most nervous time in Beijing, if the news is revealed earlier, I don't know how many people will take advantage of the weakest time of the Celestial Empire to come and intervene, they are the officials and important ministers of the Celestial Empire, although they are secretly scrambling, However, in the face of the national interests of the Celestial Empire, it is still necessary to ensure unanimity with the outside world.

Now that the emperor is seriously ill and the palace is blocked, although He Sheng just said that the emperor occasionally feels cold, but the more shrewd courtiers can know what the situation is, and the most important thing now is not to defend Shangjing?

What's more, there are so many refugees from the epidemic area outside Shangjing, this is the most headache for many Beijing officials, especially Shangjing Mansion Yin, since they arrived in Shangjing and sought protection at the feet of the Son of Heaven, they have no reason not to care about them, but now the epidemic is not under control, and the doctors in Shangjing are working hard to treat them, and many people who know the news are busy going to the pharmacy to grab medicine for prevention.

Shangjing City was in chaos inside and out, and Liang Fengmian personally led his soldiers to guard the various city gates in the southeast, south, and northwest of Shangjing, first of all, not to let refugees enter Shangjing. Now both civil and military officials in the city are busy, they did not tell the people directly, for fear of causing panic, fortunately, the prince of Jing, Qin Cheng, and General Liang came forward to take care of this matter, and when the emperor was seriously ill, all the government affairs in Shangjing could still be carried out in an orderly manner.

When the capital was busy inside and out, the Chung Wangfu was surprisingly calm.

Qi Jingyang's power has long been deprived by the emperor, and it has been handed over to Qi Jingqin and various important ministers, Mo said that he is not the prince now, even if it is, the current busy government will have nothing to do with him.

The Zhuan Wangfu is very quiet, in this particularly chaotic moment, the Songwang Mansion is quiet and a little strange, as if it is isolated in a paradise, think about the same idea when the prince built this courtyard - no matter what happened in the capital, as long as he is in his own palace, he can completely stay out of the matter.

But obviously, the situation in the Chun Wangfu at this time is not optimistic, and there are white flags hanging everywhere, and the princess is dignified...... Even if she is now the princess of Song, but at least she is still a member of the royal family, the funeral is so deserted, and before the mourning hall, only the palace people who were waiting in the Crane Garden of the East Palace knelt in front of them to mourn Zhao Peiyu's death.

Qi Jingyang slowly walked into the mourning hall, looked up at the layout of this mourning hall, it was all black and white, when the wind blew, the blowing spirit flags whirred, Qi Jingyang smiled, as if he had lost his mind, remembering when his mother died.

Han Yao and the others knelt in front of Zhao Peiyu's mourning hall, heard Qi Jingyang's footsteps, and hurriedly knelt to move away.

They looked at Lord Chung, and were a little surprised that he would come to visit Zhao Peiyu.

Qi Jingyang walked to Zhao Peiyu's coffin, knelt down and added some yellow paper to her, seeing that the flames of the yellow paper were about to burn her fingers, the palace people serving beside her whispered: "Lord be careful!" ”

Just as Kong Yan hurriedly supported Qi Jingyang, Qi Jingyang took his hand back, looking at the ashes stained on his white and tender fingers, he looked at his fingers blankly.

Kong Yan thought that the prince was injured, and hurriedly asked with concern: "Are you okay?" Do you want a minion to rub it with some ointment? After speaking, he hurriedly glanced at the palace maid behind him, "Why don't you go get some water!" ”

Qi Jingyang knelt in front of Zhao Peiyu's coffin, he looked down at his fingers, and then he didn't know why, suddenly his heart was very uncomfortable, as if there was a breath that had been hovering in his heart and couldn't get out, he leaned down and covered his chest and cried bitterly, his voice whimpered, and he didn't dare to cry.

Kong Yan noticed that something was wrong, and hurriedly leaned down next to Qi Jingyang and asked, "What's wrong?" What's wrong with you, Lord Wang?? Isn't it too painful? Yes? Lord, are you talking? ”

Qi Jingyang bent over and curled his body together, his face burst into tears, the sky was red, and his whole head was suffocated with green tendons......

Then he raised his head and looked at Zhao Peiyu's coffin, and his heart was suddenly discouraged...... The last people in this world who were willing to be by his side died......

Then he had a fishy sweetness in his throat, spit out a mouthful of donated blood, and sprinkled it in the brazier of the mourning hall, but the flame was not extinguished, it burned to the yellow paper on the side, and the fire became bigger and bigger, just like Zhao Peiyu's endless call and passionate love for Qi Jingyang......

Everyone was in an uproar, and hurriedly got up and ran to King Song.

Qi Jingyang looked at Zhao Peiyu's coffin, slowly closed his eyes, and fell to the ground......

Now whether it is Yongpingfang or Changningfang, the people in the capital are panicked, the officers and soldiers are walking around, so that the people who are wandering outside hurry home, several doctors in the pharmacy get together, listen to the palace specially sent out the imperial doctor to arrange the treatment work, the city gate is full of refugees, now wait for several days, they can't wait, they all say that they can find a way to live when they come to Beijing.

But now, the royal family itself is too busy to take care of itself, yesterday was supposed to step down the policy, but due to a lot of things happened, after the delay was slow, it caused the dissatisfaction of the refugees, they shouted at the city gate to meet the Son of Heaven, to enter the capital, but because they had the plague on their bodies, Liang Fengmian did not dare to put the people behind him in chaos, so he could only lock them out with the city gate, and the soldiers who went to the capital aimed their blades at the people they wanted to protect to protect the people behind them......

Liang Fengmian stood on the east city wall mountain, looking at the people who were begging under the city wall, his heart was very uncomfortable, he stood on the city wall, and he could see this obvious dividing line most clearly - the people outside the city were crying, and the people in the city continued to live quietly under the evacuation and protection of the officers and soldiers, and many children did not know what was going on, and continued to hold Keju and play, but the child outside the city who was dying in his mother's arms was not so lucky.

They traveled a long way to Shangjing to seek protection, but they didn't expect such a thing to happen, Liang Fengmian looked at the child's slightly open eyes, his mother was crying, wanting to come into the city, crying with everyone to face the saint, wanting to let the emperor see how his subjects were suffering......

And that child, opened his eyes slightly, looked at Liang Fengmian on the city wall, just like that, the two looked at each other, Liang Fengmian could feel that this child's eyes were bright, but at the same time they were dull, he may have been infected with the plague, and the slightly exposed half of his arm was growing scabies in many places.

Liang Fengmian couldn't bear to look at it anymore, looking at the child's desperate eyes, Liang Fengmian thought of Liang Huanqing who was lying on the bed and dying yesterday, that was his child, only he knew how much his heart hurt, and he thought that this mother would have the same heartache at this time, right? These are also the people he desperately wants to protect, but now there is no way, he can't let Shangjing City fall anymore.

"General Liang! It's General Liang! I don't know who shouted, but everyone shouted - "General Liang, save us!" General Liang! Please save us! ”

When Liang Fengmian watched from the city wall, he didn't notice that he was seen by them, at this time, Liang Fengmian didn't want to make any official promises to them, this kind of thing is best for the royal family to make a statement, Liang Fengmian didn't notice that he was seen, and now he saw the refugees under the city wall calling his name, and suddenly became very embarrassed.

Liang Lin and Wei Shen Zhao Zhao were patrolling downstairs, originally urging the people of Shangjing to go home quickly, leaving the vacant space for the officers and soldiers as much as possible, so that if they wanted to evacuate and build sheds, there would be a place to settle, but as soon as they came back, they heard the shouts of the people outside the city wall, shouting higher than one another, as if grasping the last straw, hysterical despair.

Liang Xiao and Wei Shen Zhao glanced at each other, hurriedly ran up, and when they saw Liang Fengmian standing on the edge of the city wall, they hurriedly ran over and asked, "General, what's wrong?" ”

Why did the refugees under the city wall suddenly call General Liang excitedly?

Liang Fengmian glanced at the refugees under the city wall again, then shook his head, sighed and said, "They are also born as human beings, if there is a way, who wants to see them like this?" ”

When the refugees under the city wall just shouted, the soldiers guarding the city wall were about to shout, but they were stopped by Liang Fengmian, although Liang Fengmian, as a military general, had fought several people and killed countless people on the battlefield, but a man who usually had a temperament like a tiger sniffing roses was surprisingly soft, and he couldn't bear to see them like this.

But now I don't know what to do, now whether it is the government or the emperor himself is family affairs, they have become extremely anxious and complicated, the emperor's family affairs and world affairs are equated, after Qi Jingyang was deposed, everyone's eyes turned to Qi Jingqin, plus now the emperor is seriously ill and bedridden, everything has become very sudden, making them a little physically and mentally exhausted.

The people under the city wall are crying and shouting that they want to see the emperor, crying and calling Liang Fengmian's name, they desperately want the superior to save themselves, from the epidemic area to the capital, this is the only way they can save themselves, there are many resources in the capital, the best doctors in the world are in the capital, they think, if they are all in Beijing, then the emperor will not ignore them, then they are saved......

But I didn't expect that after making them wait for so many days one after another, just let people send out a few tents and porridge on time, and then they didn't mention the matter of sending doctors to treat them, so they delayed the best treatment time for many people, and said that they would deal with it in a few days, but they didn't expect that a sudden incident would happen, and the refugees outside the city didn't know, and they were dying and struggling when they were dying, and they wanted to break into the capital and ask the emperor for an explanation, and some said that as long as the people in the capital were also infected, then the Qi royal family would pay attention to it……

They didn't understand the specific situation, so they just fooled around and made the scene very bad, Qin Yuandao said that the situation was difficult to control, so he asked Liang Fengmian to lead the army to suppress it, trying to at least keep the people in Shangjing...... This is the worst possible outcome.

But it's not a way to just let them shout like this, Liang Xiao felt a little sad in his heart when he heard it, didn't they train every day to protect their families and the country and protect the people? Fang had just walked around the city, why did the people on both sides become so different with only one city wall?

"Dad, what now?" Liang Lin looked at the people under the city wall, they had no way out, Jingzhou City, which was closest to Shangjing, also infected the masses, they were too busy to take care of themselves in the city, and the refugees outside the city had long lost their physical strength, and coming to Shangjing was a desperate decision, but they definitely didn't expect this to be the result. "Are they left to fend for themselves?"

Wei Shen and Zhao Zhao also looked at Liang Fengmian like this, and now all the people who are blocking the front line are Liang Jiajun's people, and they all want to let Liang Fengmian give him an idea.

Listening to the shouts of refugees outside the city, Liang Fengmian felt uncomfortable in his heart, but what can he do now? He sighed and said, "This matter is not something that I can decide alone, they are the people, but there are so many innocent people in the capital, can you guarantee that they will be healed if they come in?" Is there a guarantee that you won't get a large area of infection? ”

After Liang Lian and Wei Shen Zhao Zhao listened, they looked at each other and were speechless, Liang Fengmian glanced at the people outside the city again, and then said: "Complete healing is a long-term thing, the only thing that can be done now is to stabilize the people's hearts, now it is not only about these refugees, the people in the capital also need to be safeguarded, we will try our best to prevent the appearance of infected people in the capital." ”

The people of Shangjing have always been well protected by this group of brave people, until this point, the people of Shangjing are only a little worried and afraid, and now there is no such thing as riot panic, but if they know that the emperor in the palace is also seriously ill, maybe their mentality will not be as good as this, and the officials in Shangjing do not mention this matter.

"And now, what can we do to appease them?" Zhao Zhao leaned on the edge of the city wall, and when he lowered his head slightly, he could see the refugees patting the door under the city wall, but the city gate had been closed, no matter how they patted, it was impossible to open it, Zhao Zhao listened to such weak words, and his heart was completely angry, and he clearly followed Liang Fengmian's words, at this time, they couldn't do anything else, neither the supreme ruler, nor the benevolent healer, and there were too few things they could do.

Liang Fengmian didn't speak, looking at the golden palace in the farthest distance, that was the answer......

Qin Yuandao and Qi Jingqin just got rid of a few adults, and now in this situation, almost all the courtiers have to ask Qin Yuandao and Qi Jingqin for ideas, the emperor is seriously ill, and there is almost no way to carry out a large part of the decrees.
