Chapter 474: Grace

Remember [69 Chinese Network] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!

Yan Yuntong led 8,000 soldiers and horses, braved the wind and snow, broke through many difficulties, and finally set foot on the land of Gyeonggi.

Stand on the top of the hill and look at the ......

Gyeonggi is full of devastation and wolf smoke.

The village farmhouses are all ruins and ruins after the fire, smoke, dust, dilapidation, wreckage, blood......

The land of Gyeonggi, which had been looted by the war, was nothing but desolation, grief, flight, despair, and numbness......

This is a land abandoned by God, and it has long been abandoned by God.

There is no trace of the prosperity and peace of the past.

"General, are we late, the capital has already been ......"

"It's not late! We couldn't have come at the right time. Rest in place for half an hour, and then continue on your way. ”

……

The arrival of Yan Yuntong greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers defending the city.

Like a shot in the arm, a group of tired soldiers burst out with 100% combat effectiveness in an instant, and the soldiers and horses of Wuheng who were besieging the city were caught off guard.

Wuheng's soldiers and horses suffered losses one after another under the walls of the capital, and they could not advance an inch, but they did not give up, but the offensive became more and more fierce.

Xiao Yat is under a lot of pressure and is angry every day.

In any case, it is necessary to withstand two months, delay as much time as possible for the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in the capital.

Thanks to Yan Yuntong's 8,000 soldiers and horses harassing behind enemy lines, he shared part of the pressure.

Yan Yunge accelerated his plan to go out of the city.

The people in the capital were impetuous and panicked, and the major families chose to pinch their noses and endure it, pay fifty percent of the labor and military expenses, and flee for their lives out of the city as soon as possible.

Flee back to your ancestral home, or head all the way south.

In short, the farther away from the capital, the better, and the farther away from Wuheng, the better.

Every day, the south city gate is full of people, and it is no longer a secret to sneak out of the city, and many small people in the market have gotten the news.

At first, they were skeptical.

When they came to the south gate and stood from a distance, they realized that the rumors were actually the truth.

The rich and noble families are hurrying out of the city, but they are still being pressed to the ground by the embroidered guards to play.

The small people in the market are in a hurry, and they have to go out of the city.

The swarm of small people in the market has doubled the pressure on the soldiers at the city gate.

Shi Wen didn't want to let the people out of the city so early, for fear of causing chaos.

In case there is a riot in the capital, it is not a good sign.

Yan Yunge didn't think so.

She was very decisive, "Let the little people out of the city!" As long as there is a little hope, the small people will not take the risk and choose to riot. ”

"How much pressure this will put on the soldiers of the city gate, does Lady Yan know?"

Yan Yunge reprimanded: "It's better than stopping the small people, not letting them go out of the city, only allowing the rich and noble to go out of the city, and finally causing a riot in the capital." The Prime Minister should understand that the capital is so big and has such a population, so it is better to block it at this time.

I know what you want to say, you want to say that the small people are unorganized and undisciplined, and they flock out of the city, which will affect the imperial court's plan to go out of the city. Then let the embroidered guards organize the small people and go out of the city in an orderly manner. The capital is besieged, the credit of the court is still there, and the small people still trust the court, they will listen to the orders of the government, as long as they are willing to give them a chance to survive. ”

Shi Wenda frowned, he thought that Yan Yunge's idea was too naΓ―ve, and he thought too well of the small people in the market.

The fall of a city often begins with the small people flocking out of the city to flee.

He has been in the army for so many years and has seen too many similar examples, he does not dare to take risks.

Yan Yunge had to remind him, "The situation that the Prime Minister encountered in the past, why the small people flocked out of the city caused the destruction of the city, the fundamental reason is that there is no government to organize the small people to go out of the city in an orderly manner.

As long as the government is willing to come forward and give a little confidence to the panicked people, they are the most docile and obedient group of people. The Prime Minister should give a little confidence to the small people in the capital who have been bathed in the emperor's grace all the year round, and they will impress you.

At the same time, don't forget to remind the people that when you go out of the city, if you don't have a place to go, go south and drill into the mountains. Wu Heng is good at cavalry combat, and the mountains and forests are their shortcomings. Don't risk running north. ”

Shi Wen gritted his teeth, "Mrs. Yan insists on letting Xiaomin out of the city in advance?" ”

Yan Yunge nodded heavily, "If the Prime Minister is really not at ease, it is better to limit the number of people who go out of the city." 5,000 people a day, how? When the emperor and the hundred officials went out of the city and went south, Mrs. Ben took over the rest of the matter. ”

Shi Wen was surprised, "Mrs. Yan won't go south out of the city with us?" ”

Yan Yunge shook his head, "The capital has to be guarded, Xiao Yi is still on the city wall, how can I abandon him." ”

"Xiao Yat, does he know? You're going to stay and guard the capital with him, does he know? ”

"He didn't know. Therefore, the prime minister must not tell him to shake his determination to defend the city. ”

Shi Wenda frowned, "You have to go out of the city with the old man." At the beginning, the old man promised Xiao Yi to ensure your safety. If you stay, who will keep you safe? ”

Yan Yunge laughed, "Prime Minister, don't underestimate me too much, I can protect myself." ”

Shi Wen was choked, he almost forgot that Yan Yunge was also a martial arts practitioner, and there were thousands of guards around him to protect him.

It's just that he's still worried.

"Xiao Yi went down the city wall, if he learned that you didn't leave with the old man, he would definitely hate the old man to death. The old man didn't want to bear his wrath. ”

"Don't worry about this, I will appease him and ask him not to anger the prime minister."

Shi Wen was worried, "You really refuse to go out of the city with the old man?" ”

Yan Yunge nodded heavily.

From the beginning, she had no intention of going out of the city with the emperor's hundred officials.

When to go out of the city and where to go, she has been prepared.

She said that she wanted to advance and retreat with Xiao Yi, which was not an empty word.

It's really going to be so.

……

The palace is busy and messy!

As I got closer to leaving the city, I realized that I wasn't ready for anything, and that I was missing this and that.

I want to take everything with me.

Shi Wen gave an order, and he was only allowed to bring gold, silver, soft and food, any furniture, and any precious porcelain, and put them all down for him.

"Empress Dowager Qi, Your Majesty, Shaofu has collected all the carriages and horses that can be used as much as possible, and the goods that can be carried are still limited. We go out of the city to escape, not to enjoy the scenery, so unnecessary things must be discarded. In particular, bulky and space-consuming items should not be taken away. ”

"You really can't take any of it with you?" Empress Dowager Tao was slightly dissatisfied.

She got used to her bed, her table and chairs, her living supplies......

To put it simply, she wanted to take everything in Changle Palace away.

As a result, Shi Wen was not accommodating at all.

Naturally, she was not happy.

Since the emperor regained his senses and forgave Shi Wen for what he had done, he resumed his reign.

It's just that he went to court with Empress Dowager Tao.

This can also be regarded as a kind of checks and balances of power, lest the emperor go crazy again, and insist on going his own way, and live and die with the capital.

The emperor coughed lightly and said softly: "Queen Mother, the prime minister is reasonable. When you go out of the city this time, you must be quick and go south as soon as possible. Things are too bulky, which will delay the trip and give Wuheng a chance. ”

Empress Dowager Tao snorted coldly, "Could it be that the objects used in this palace are cheaper than those wild aliens?" ”

As soon as she thought that her daily belongings would fall into the hands of the Wuheng people, she felt uncomfortable and a little nauseous.

The Emperor sighed, "This is also something that cannot be helped. Who made me incompetent, without the ability and luck to turn the tide? fled in a hurry, hoping that he would have a chance to return to the capital one day. ”

Shi Wen said loudly, "Your Majesty rest assured, when you settle down in the south, the old minister will personally reorganize the army, and he will definitely fight back to the capital and welcome His Majesty back to the palace." ”

"Then, please leave everything to Shi Aiqing!"

……

Seeing that the emperor and the hundred officials were about to leave the city, Princess Chengyang finally couldn't sit still, and she was also going out of the city.

But she was reluctant to pay fifty percent of the labor and military expenses.

The world says she is rich, and that's definitely true.

She's really rich, richer than people think.

Shi Wen and Ling Changzhi, these two bastards, are eyeing each other, just waiting to peel off the skin and suck the marrow and drain her flesh and blood.

She disagrees!

Now that the emperor has been able to go to court, she entered the palace again and begged the emperor to issue an edict to exempt her and the Zhong family from labor and military expenses.

The emperor, of course, would not agree.

Shi Wen had already been vaccinated with the emperor.

When the emperor learned that he could extract millions of yuan from Princess Chengyang and the Zhong family, the emperor became more active than anyone else.

He looked forward to Princess Chengyang and the Zhong family getting out of the city as soon as possible, and let him make a windfall.

Whether you can fight back to the capital will see how much labor and military expenses you can draw.

"Everyone who goes out of the city has to pay labor and military fees, and my aunt, as a member of the royal family, should set an example for others. How can I show favoritism! This is absolutely unacceptable! ”

The emperor was righteous and stern, and there was no room for negotiation.

Princess Chengyang was so angry that her brain hurt, so she simply used a killer trick, money ability!

"I personally give Your Majesty 500,000 yuan, and ask Your Majesty to give a decree to exempt the princess's mansion and the Zhong family's labor and military expenses."

The Emperor bowed his head and sneered.

Did Princess Chengyang really treat him as a faint monarch who didn't understand anything?

With only 500,000 yuan of money, do you want to send him away, when he asks for food?

The Emperor was furious.

Drawing labor and military expenses can get millions of dollars.

Princess Chengyang was only willing to give him 500,000 yuan.

This account, thinking with your toes, knows how to choose.

Therefore, the emperor once again rejected Princess Chengyang with righteous and stern resignation.

and called the palace people and ordered Princess Chengyang to be blasted out.

"If Your Majesty thinks that 500,000 yuan is too little, 1 million, I am willing to pay 1 million......"

"Boom out!"

The Emperor was furious.

Princess Chengyang struggled and roared, "Your Majesty can't be ungrateful!" When the emperor was still there, His Majesty went out to Beijing for disaster relief, and it was the Zhong family who supported His Majesty so that His Majesty could successfully complete the important task of disaster relief. After His Majesty ascended the throne, Shaofu was impoverished, and it was the horse that turned the tide, shared worries and problems for His Majesty, and supported the soldiers at the border gates to fight. The Zhong family has worked hard, how can Your Majesty ......"

The Emperor was furious and shouted, "Gagged her and threw her out." Dare to blackmail me with kindness and righteousness, dare to cover the sky, all of them should be damned! If I forgive you the death penalty now, I will repay the kindness I once had. ”

"Your Majesty can't...... Woohoo......"

Princess Chengyang was gagged and then thrown out of Xingqing Palace.
