The eldest princess brought Sun Ke into the Palace of Compassion.

Sun Ke didn't bother to change his clothes, and went directly into the inner hall to visit the queen mother.

The queen mother was listening to the grandmothers say yes, and when she heard the rumor, she only knew that Anyang was coming, so she raised her eyes.

But he didn't want to, Anyang was still followed by a person.

The person was just blocked by the eldest princess, and she couldn't see her face, and the queen mother only saw that the person who came was dressed in men's clothes, but not the clothes of the palace attendants, so she waited curiously for the person to come forward to greet her.

The other party came out from behind the eldest princess, knelt down, and spoke again, which was a "imperial grandmother".

The familiar voice made the Queen Mother's eyes widen.

After seeing Sun Ke's appearance clearly, the Queen Mother sat up straight and said with a straight face: "Nonsense!" You're fooling around! ”

Sun Ke touched the tip of his nose, he naturally knew that if he returned to Beijing rashly, he would have to be scolded by the queen mother.

The queen mother loves him so much, and scolding him is all for his good.

Because his move to return to Beijing was inappropriate.

It's not good for himself, for his father, or for the court.

The Empress Dowager acquiesced to bringing King Yong's father and son with her when she went south, which was originally a kind of protection.

Sun Ke understood all those truths, but in the end he still couldn't let go of the Queen Mother and Fu Peiqing.

If you are scolded, you will be scolded.

Let the Queen Mother be angry, and he will not lose a piece of meat or skin.

"I believe that my uncle and soldiers can hold the city until Ayuan comes back," Sun Ke smiled at the Queen Mother, "Don't worry, I will stay in the Cixin Palace honestly, and I won't go anywhere, and no one outside will know that I have returned." ”

The Empress Dowager called someone to her, smacked her twice, and said, "Where else do you want to go?" You dare to take a step outside the Palace of Compassion, and the mourning family will break your legs! ”

is angry Sun Ke's "disregard for the overall situation", and the Queen Mother also knows that he is a piece of filial piety.

The anger is angry, and the heart is warm, not to mention, people have returned, whether it is good or bad, now is not the time to drive people out.

Sun Ke saw the Queen Mother, and went to the side hall to see Fu Peiqing.

Although she moved into the palace from the Yongwang Mansion, because the saint went south, everyone who could go in the harem followed, and it was the original people who served her, so there was no inconvenience here.

It's just that the queen mother has been in poor health recently, and she rarely summons her to come close, for fear that the illness will affect the pregnant woman.

When Fu Peiqing saw Sun Ke, she was surprised and delighted.

Knowing his difficulties, and knowing that it was not easy for him to come back against his orders, he didn't mention those big truths, Fu Peiqing only smiled and said to him: "I'm fine, and the child is also very good." ”

Sun Ke's hanging heart all fell.

In the evening, Gu Yunjin came to the Cixin Palace.

The military situation is already very urgent, and Pang Deng's vanguard is about to enter the Gyeonggi area, and it will not be too late for the follow-up army, maybe in another three or five days, the capital generals will be under the city.

Jiang Shiyu was busy at this time, and he explained the matter of delivering the news to the Queen Mother to Gu Yunjin.

The palace had discussed it before, and once the war started, the eldest princess and Shou'an would guard the queen mother in the palace and take care of Brother You.

Gu Yunjin came over at this time, and he also wanted to hand over his son to the eldest princess.

"I know you're amazing," the Queen Mother held Gu Yunjin's hand and said, "Don't worry about our mothers, you don't have to worry about eating and drinking in the palace." ”

Gu Yunjin bent his eyes and smiled.

She is actually not powerful, but the big war is coming, her brothers are struggling to attack the capital, she is a girl from the Zhenbei General's Mansion, how can she hide.

At night, as the last batch of grain and grass was brought in, the twelve gates on the periphery of the capital were all closed.

Jingshi must be stubborn, grain and grass are indispensable, and the shipping warehouse and Nanxin warehouse, as the largest granary of the imperial court in the Gyeonggi area, have been a lot of tuns before, and they were all transferred out by Jiang Shiyu this time.

This was negotiated before the saint left Beijing, and there was some bargaining.

In Jiang Shiyu's words, except for the part that the saint took away from the south, wouldn't the rest move into the capital and wait for Pang Deng's men to chew it?

It doesn't matter if Poundton eats it, if he turns around and burns it again, won't he be killed.

Shengshang thought of Qiao Jing's big heel fight in Shudi, so he nodded in response.

Cheng Yanzhi personally dispatched and escorted them to the two warehouses, and returned to the capital with this last batch.

He got off his horse and went into Shuntianfu to look for Jiang Shiyu.

Shuntian Mansion has been called by Jiang Shiyu, Shao Fangde is responsible for the livelihood of the people in the city, and Jiang Shiyu is in charge of garrison defense.

Similarly, in order to facilitate affairs, the third prince did not go to the Wenying Palace, and transferred the large courtyard of the six yamen, and the officials on each road went in and out.

On the city gates everywhere, the guards and soldiers were all arranged completely, and after Cheng Yanzhi returned to his life, he received orders and went to the city gate.

Shao Fangde's hair had turned a lot gray in just a few days, and he didn't have much to spare.

Some of the people in the suburbs of Beijing went south, but more of them did not have the conditions to go, and they poured into the capital with their families.

When Ponzon's cavalry arrived, these villages on the outskirts of Beijing could not escape the iron cavalry, not to mention burning and killing, they came to get a grain today, and a chicken and duck tomorrow, so that the common people could not live their lives.

Instead of panicking in the village, it is better to enter Beijing, which is blocked by the city wall.

The yamen could not let these people sleep on the streets.

It's a shame that August is not cold, and if it is a big winter, it will be even worse.

Chenghuang Temple, Guandi Temple, but all places that can stuff people have been arranged, and a lot of sheds have been built, which will be settled for the time being.

But Shao Fangde knew that when there was no chaos in the city, such preparations would work, and if it was really chaotic, the houses that were vacated by the head of the household and the things that could not be moved away would be their targets.

And once this opening is opened, it will not only be the empty houses that will suffer, but the people who stay in the capital will face the wind of theft and robbery.

In order to avoid that situation, one is that the defenders must be strong, and the other is that the officials and officials must not relax at all.

In the capital, it was quite orderly at this time.

Outside the capital, with the entry of the Xiliang army, it was a mess.

Some people say that Naxi Liangma came all the way and leveled hundreds of villages along the way; Some people also say that in order to replenish food, the Xiliang soldiers robbed the villagers of all the stored grain, and whoever didn't give it was directly hacked to death; Some people also said that Pang Deng was a ruthless man, because the officers and soldiers in a town sent a military report to the capital, and he burned down the town!

Each of them has noses and eyes, which frightens the people of Gyeonggi and cannot sleep peacefully.

Even if they were not on the eastward route of the Western Liang Army, they were all in a panic, even more afraid than knowing that the Holy Lord had gone south.

Just as Jiang Muyuan had imagined before, the bowstring, which was already stretched to the extreme and would break at any time as soon as there was a stir, was finally broken.

In Gyeonggi and the surrounding areas, in less than a decade, some people unveiled poles, some people went up the mountain, yesterday they were farmers, today they have become green forests.

The local government wants to manage and suppress it, but how can the troops take care of it at the moment.

For a while, Pang Deng had not yet fought the capital, but some villages in Gyeonggi were attacked by bandits, and it spread everywhere, and this crime was all covered by everyone on the head of the Xiliang army.

The Xiliang army burned, killed, plundered, and did all kinds of evil.
