King Lu of Linzhou did not dance and cry as Xi Yan guessed, although the situation in Linzhou was worth crying for.

In winter, Linzhou is still muddy, because there are a few sleets soon after the winter.

In addition to making the roads muddy, the rain and snow also caused several small fires due to the heating of densely packed houses.

When it was learned that the Fengzi of Ankang Mountain led an army of 100,000 to attack Linzhou for King Zheng, many people poured into the city and there were several chaos, some people were trampled to death, some were killed because of scramble, and bandits wandering around Linzhou took the opportunity to loot.

The city of Linzhou was in a muddy chaos both inside and outside, and it took several days for the government to use troops and horses to stabilize order.

King Lu sat in the main hall and did not cry for the unfortunate people, nor for the danger of Linzhou, compared to before, his face did not even have sorrow.

"It's the most critical time for Linzhou." The emperor's expression was solemn, "Great Xia has also reached the most critical juncture of life and death. ”

The emperor didn't cry, and the ministers in the palace didn't cry either.

"Your Majesty, an army of 100,000 has been assembled." Zhang An Wang Lin came out of the ranks and said loudly, "We will stick to Linzhou on all sides. ”

"Governor Xiang has personally led the troops to deploy outside Linzhou." Cui Zheng said, "In addition, the guards of Shannan Province, Henan Province, and Hedong Province are assembled and on standby. ”

The eunuchs moved to the sand table of the map, and several generals demonstrated to the ministers that An Qingzhong set out from the capital, no matter which side attacked Linzhou, there were guards to defend.

The generals each held their banners on the sand table and fought fiercely, and the ministers watched carefully and attentively, nervous when in danger, and cheered when they were victorious.

After a demonstration, the movements of the Linzhou soldiers and horses, the guards and horses, and the rebels were clear and clear.

"The rebels in the capital are menacing, and there are even more Shi Chao, An Dezhong and others in the northland and southeast to help each other, but my Linzhou is not unguardable." Cui Zheng said, "They have 100,000 troops, we also have 100,000 troops, they are coming from a long distance, we are waiting, not to mention, the rebels also have to beware of the attack of the Mobei Zhenwu Army, Huainan Province, Jiangnan Province, and Southeast Province." ”

Zhang An Wang Lin patted the strong general's belly when he heard this: "We will wait for the rebels to fall into the net, and Linzhou is the burial place of the 100,000 army." ”

The Emperor stood up and said, "Fetch my long sword." ”

The two eunuchs came with a long knife, which was the long knife that King Lu used to kill the rebels outside Linzhou, and it has been placed in the palace.

The emperor easily picked up the broadsword: "I will personally lead the troops." ”

The ministers were taken aback: "Your Majesty, the body of the Son of Heaven, you must not take any risks. ”

The emperor erected the long knife in front of him, his face was not sorrowful, and his eyes were not wandering, standing in the high hall for a moment, people could not look directly.

"If Linzhou is gone, what face do I have to be the son of heaven in Great Xia." He said, "I live and die with Linzhou. ”

Cui Zheng came out of the column with a wat board, and did not persuade His Majesty, but said: "The minister and Linzhou live and die together!" ”

If Linzhou is gone, they will either have their lives or their merits gone, and if they lose either of these two, living is like dead, and the ministers are sad and angry, and there is no hesitation to give a salute: "The ministers and Linzhou will live and die together!" ”

The emperor raised his broadsword: "Kill the thief!" ”

The deafening roar of the court spread throughout Linzhou, the passion of the oath was conveyed to every people, the civil officials began to count the population, the walls were cleared, the soldiers and horses galloped in the territory of Linzhou, and the atmosphere reached its peak in the emperor wearing armor and holding a sword and riding a horse, leaving the palace through the main street gate to personally supervise the battle to the military camp.

There was excitement inside and outside Linzhou, but the palace of King Lu was quiet as usual.

There was a sound of chirping and chirping in the palace of the queen of the harem.

Several palace maids in coarse cloth dresses ran in happily: "Niangniang, Niangniang." ”

The shouting did not interrupt the queen's weaving, her hair was half whiter than before, and she was dressed in the same coarse cloth clothes, and at first glance she looked like a village woman.

"Shouting what?" She said, the shuttle in her hand, "You're done?" Don't be playful. ”

The palace maids gossiped, "Niangniang, the traitor is going to fight Linzhou." "Niangniang, it is said that there are 100,000 soldiers and horses." Convey the latest news.

The queen's expression was calm, and there seemed to be only a piece of cloth in her eyes that was about to be woven: "The rebels have not broken the palace gate for a day, and the cloth still has to be woven." ”

Probably used to it, after experiencing the time when the Lu Palace's palace was besieged by traitors, and then hearing the rebels attacking, everyone didn't panic anymore.

The palace maids gossiped again: "Don't worry, mother." "We can't beat it" "We have a lot of soldiers." "Your Majesty has gone to the barracks in person."

Hearing this, the queen's weaving hand stopped, and her expression became flustered: "Your Majesty has gone to the barracks?" ”

In the end, the love between husband and wife is deep, the queen is worried about Your Majesty, and the palace maids are busy saying "Your Majesty said that you want to live and die with Linzhou", "Niangniang is relieved, not to go to the personal expedition", "Your Majesty is going to the military camp to supervise the war".

The queen smiled, but she smiled a little sadly, looking at these palace maids with pity and sadness in her eyes.

These palace maids were not the palace maids she was once familiar with.

After King Lu ascended the throne, the original palace maids and eunuchs in the palace of King Lu were gone, most of them died in the battle to defend the city, and the remaining part was more or less left with injuries because of the battle.

Two years have passed, and almost all of those people are dead, and it was the medicine she personally delivered.

What can I do? Her husband doesn't want to be embarrassed, Daxia can't be shameless, the fewer people who know about King Lu's escape from Shecheng, the better.

Now the eunuchs and maids in the palace are all from the palace in the capital.

After such a hard trek from the capital, the emperor couldn't bear to let them have no fixed place to live, so that they could stay in the palace, so that the palace of Lu Wang could have the atmosphere of the first emperor and the palace of the capital.

These palace maids were displaced from the capital to Linzhou, but they grew up with the first emperor and the concubine enjoying the bliss of the world, and they didn't know the dangers of the world, and they regained their innocence in this small palace in a year.

"It's so grim." The queen said, putting down the shuttle, "You go and call the third prince, and the palace will send him to the barracks." ”

The queen gave birth to five children, but only three survived, and this third son was actually the eldest son.

However, King Lu did not only have three sons, but also had other sons born to the concubines in the palace.

The palace ladies immediately understood that it was the best filial piety for the prince to be by his father's side at this time, after all, he would be the prince in the future.

They happily went to inform the three princes, who saw the queen change into a military uniform and leave the palace, but did not go to the barracks, but went to see Cui Zheng.

Cui Zheng did not follow the emperor to the barracks, and now at this time, he is inseparable from sitting in the court.

The third prince came in and retreated, and saluted Cui Zheng: "The queen mother said let me ask Xiangye, what do you need me to do." ”

Cui Zheng looked at this prince who was less than twenty years old, although his appearance was not as good as that of King Lu, and his demeanor was a little cringe, but his eyes were ignorant and a little pure.

"You don't have to go to the barracks, stay with me." He said, "Your Majesty is enough in the barracks, and if you go, you will not add glory, but chaos." ”

The third prince Nuo Nuo's response was, and he couldn't help but say: "The queen mother also said that Xiangye would stay by my side." ”

He originally thought that what the queen mother said was wrong, and Xiangye would send him to the military camp to fight father and son.

Cui Zheng looked at him and didn't speak, and called an official to take the three princes to do things, the three princes left, and the eunuch who accompanied the three princes remained in the house.

"What else does the queen command?" Cui Zheng asked him.

The eunuch didn't speak, stepped forward and handed over a letter, Cui Zheng opened it in front of the eunuch, the letter was very simple, only one sentence.

"If Your Majesty disappears again this time, Xiangye won't look for it." 2k reading web
