Chapter 456: Stabilizing the People's Hearts
Concubine Qing politely rejected Song Qingyi's request: "I'm sorry, Miss Song, I can understand your eagerness to save people, but my brother is too old to go to the battlefield, after all, my brother is only a man in my family, I'm really afraid that something will happen to him, and my family will be gone." ”
Hearing this, Song Qingyi's eyes suddenly dimmed, she frowned and finally wanted to fight again: "Niangniang, after I go to the battlefield, I will definitely protect the general, please think about it again for the sake of the people of this world." ”
"The girl said something inappropriate, we can't even protect ourselves now, it's hard for me to send my brother out to die, please go back, I won't agree." Concubine Qing still didn't let go.
After saying this, she flicked her sleeves, turned her head and left.
Song Qingyi saw her attitude and knew that it was impossible for her to persuade her anymore, and now in this situation, it was a waste of time for her to stay here, so she didn't say anything to save her.
Seeing that persuasion was fruitless, Song Qingyi left the palace in a hurry, in fact, she had already prepared for the worst before she came.
Now her only way is to hurry up and contact other countries to come to support, but those countries will take several days to rush, and in these few days, the thieves will definitely make some moves, and she must do everything she can to stabilize the hearts of her people in these few days.
As long as they can survive these few days and wait for the people from the neighboring countries to come to the rescue, then everything will be fine!
In order to be able to contact the envoys of those neighboring countries as soon as possible, Song Qingyi sent all his elite personnel to contact those envoys, and those elite people completed this task within a day, and all the countries he contacted expressed their willingness to support the Lotus Kingdom.
But the time for them to arrive was roughly the same as Song Qingyi guessed - it would take seven days at the earliest!
After the last capable report on the situation of neighboring countries coming to support, Song Qingyi breathed a sigh of relief for the time being, as long as someone could come to support, she was confident that she could support it!
But she knew it wasn't time to fully relax, and the toughest battle awaited her.
She has to try her best to stabilize all the people in these seven days, if she can't stabilize it, the national spirit will fluctuate, and those thieves will take advantage of the weakness of the countrymen to take advantage of the opportunity.
When the time comes, I am afraid that if we do not wait for the support of our neighbors, they will bring about their own destruction.
In the face of the increasingly panicked people and ministers, Song Qingyi was impatient, she forced herself to calm down, went to the streets every day to patrol the security management, and sent special people to inspire confidence to those people.
Song Qingyi told those ministers and the people that now was the time when the country was in danger, and they had to unify their determination, stand together and unite with the outside world, and never let the enemy attack before they attacked, so they panicked in their hearts.
But some timid people are still afraid, in order to stabilize the people's hearts, Song Qingyi had to swear that she had a way to repel those thieves, but there was no basis for her words, and there were still a small number of people who didn't believe her.
After two full days of hard work, she was only able to unite half of the people, and the remaining half of the people did not listen to him no matter what he said, but in fact, she found out early on that there were many rebels mixed in with these people.
Those thieves dressed themselves in extreme concealment and mixed in with the people, stirring up people's hearts. Song Qingyi had a headache for them, because these people couldn't beat or scold, but fortunately, she had a plan in her heart.
She has been running day and night in the past few days in order to find out how many anti-thieves have mixed into the masses, and she has put half of them in prison for various reliable reasons, while the other half has investigated their backgrounds and collected all kinds of evidence.
On the third day, she looked at the crowd below who were still questioning him, her eyes sank, after so many days of patience, today was the moment for her to break out!
She stood on the high platform and quickly arrested the troublemakers on the bottom line, and exposed their life stories to the public. Bean Book City
Those people who followed the trend stopped making trouble, and the people below expressed their belief in Song Qingyi, and they would definitely obey her dispatch and pass this pass safely.
The ministers were stunned by her vigorous methods, and within a day most of her subjects had been attached to her.
After persuading all her subjects, Song Qingyi suddenly felt that the burden on her body was much lighter, and she thought that she would be able to spend the seven days well.
But early the next morning, she received a letter from her secret agent, saying that those thieves would openly attack the emperor in the court this morning.
Seeing this letter, Song Qingyi was frightened, and she hurriedly prepared to rush to the palace with manpower.
On the other side, the palace was already in a panic at this time.
This morning it was indeed as the letter said, that the thieves had killed a minister and entered the court in disguise as him.
And they should also cooperate with the outside, as soon as the disguised thieves entered the palace, they knocked the guards of the various secret posts to the ground, and the thieves outside disguised themselves as these guards and surrounded the entire palace.
When it came to the last court, the emperor did not notice anything wrong with the ministers below, and he walked towards his throne without defense.
Just as he was about to reach the throne, suddenly the disguised assassin suddenly rushed up, he held a sharp sword, and went directly to the emperor.
Fortunately at this moment, the little eunuch beside the emperor was clever and pounced in front of the emperor and blocked this fatal blow for him!
At this time, the guards protecting the emperor finally reacted, and they immediately pulled out their knives from their waists and fought fiercely with those thieves below!
But there were half as many guards as the thieves, and soon the thieves had the upper hand, and they dragged them down, and the emperor had no one around him who could protect him except for a bunch of helpless ministers.
One of the thieves rushed forward at the right time, raised his sword and slashed at the emperor's head.
At this time, the emperor was already so frightened that he couldn't move, and at this critical moment, a five-grade petty official used all his strength to push the emperor out.
The sword that had broken his hair grazed the emperor's head and cut off his long braid to the ground.
The emperor, who was covered with messy hair, was extremely embarrassed at this time, he trembled with fear, grabbed a minister casually, and blocked it in front of him.
When the thief saw that his sword was missing, he still didn't give up, turned his head and raised his sword, wanting to stab the emperor again.
At this time, the emperor's side was empty, and just when he closed his eyes and thought that he was about to die, he suddenly flew very empty, and a dart knocked the long sword to the ground.
Song Qingyi arrived in time!
The guards she brought over quickly surrounded those anti-thieves, and the anti-thieves were assassinated this time, so they didn't bring many people, and they were subdued at once.
And the leader of the main assassin was also beheaded to the ground by Song Qingyi.
