Chapter 324 Su Qi's decision
Su Qi glanced up almost imperceptibly, and when he saw Mr. Su and Xia Yan making a gesture, he was about to jump down and fight hard, but at this juncture, he heard "Ji Yang" hurriedly persuade: "Your Majesty think twice!" If the woman died, she would be truly useless; But if you keep her for a few days, how much can you make the chaotic ministers and thieves jealous? ”
Hearing him say this, Ande, who was following behind Mu Yunze, rolled his eyes, took two steps forward, and whispered in the emperor's ear: "Your Majesty, what Ji Yang said makes some sense, it is better to endure the wrath of the thunder for the time being, let her live for a few more days, and wait until the rebellion is quelled, what kind of death does Your Majesty want to reward her?" ”
Mu Yunze pinched his knuckles: he hated this woman who wanted to kill several times but couldn't. But she was right, he was actually very afraid of Mu Yunsong and Yan Beijun.
What kind of goods is his 100,000 Beijing army, Mu Yunze knows in his heart, as for the Qinwang Holy Edict he issued, how many troops can wait for to come to escort him, he really has no bottom in his heart.
Over the years, he has killed decisively, cut off dissidents, firmly held the imperial power in his own hands, and even did not hesitate to use the evil faction such as the Sky Eagle League to massacre the civil and military generals who did not obey the control, and now there is no dissent in the court, but there are few people left.
Every time in the morning bell of the early dynasty, he sat on the Jinluan Hall in a splendid dragon robe, looking down at the respectful and silent civil and military generals under his feet, listening to the silent court, occasionally there was a little uneasiness in his heart:
When did my court become so stagnant?
But then I listened to this group of puppet-like courtiers, knocking three times and worshipping the mountain at his feet, shouting, "Long live my emperor!" Hooray! His slight uneasiness was quickly replaced by a great sense of satisfaction.
This is my world, my world! No one can snatch it from me!
"Okay, let's save your life for a few more days." Mu Yunze gritted his teeth and sneered, there were green tendons jumping up at the base of his ears, "You'd better burn incense and worship the Buddha, and pray for the victory of my army, otherwise, ...... If the rebels dare to come to Xijing, I will hang you on the tower and let the crossbowmen shoot you with arrows and arrows, and when the time comes, let's see how ruthless Mu Yunsong's bastard is! ”
After that, he explained to Ji Yang, who was standing respectfully on the side: "This slut will be handed over to you, send me more people, strictly guard it day and night, and don't allow half a mistake!" ”
Ji Yang hurriedly said "yes" in panic, knelt down and sent the emperor out of the door.
Mu Yunze hurriedly walked out of the Qianxi Palace, and explained to Ande behind him: "Send more people to keep an eye on this slut surnamed Su and Ji Yang!" He sneered fiercely, "Now that the left and right Yanbei armies have been reversed, there is no use in keeping him!" You remember, once the rebels approach the imperial city, give Ji Yang to death first! Knowing too many people, I'm going to shut him up forever! ”
Ander shuddered and answered "yes", but he thought to himself: He seems to know more than Ji Yang.
In the Qianxi Palace, when the emperor walked away, everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief.
Mr. Su and Xia Yan jumped down from the beams of the house, and when they saw Su Qi's stubborn appearance in the face of the emperor, they asked in a daze: "Lord Wang, ...... Is it really a rebellion? ”
Mr. Su coughed and said, "This matter seems to be a little strange, but," he smashed a fist on the table in hatred, "such an emperor who is inferior to a beast will be reversed!" Even Mu Yunsong's bastard really became the emperor, and he was much stronger than the current one! ”
Su Qi felt empty in his heart: he once said that he didn't want to be the emperor, he just wanted to be a military general who defended the country and guarded the safety of the people, but now, he was forced to be helpless, and he had to do it as a last resort, and he finally embarked on the road of usurping the throne and seizing power......
If there is really this day, he will be crowned with a dragon robe and become an emperor who is high above and admired by thousands of people, and she is just an orphan girl without a father or mother, and she is separated from him by heaven and earth, across mountains and seas, even if there is no blood and hatred, how can we be together......
She lived in this palace for many days, and saw the miserable situation and inhumanity of many women in the emperor's harem, and she did not want to be one of them from the bottom of her heart.
Su Qi thought in a daze, Mr. Su was discussing with Xia Yan: "The top priority is to get Xiao Qi out!" ”
"That's what Master said." Xia Yan said, "It's just that the emperor deliberately told his junior sister to be strictly guarded, and he wanted to take her out of the palace, but I am afraid that it will be difficult." ”
Mr. Su looked at the sleeping Chunyue on the ground: "Give her another fake death medicine?" It's like this girl, disguised as a corpse and sent out? ”
Before Xia Yan could answer, he heard a sound of neat footsteps at the door, and a Jin Wuwei wearing armor pushed the door in, "By Your Majesty's holy decree, take over the defense of the Qianxi Palace!" The idlers are leaving as soon as possible! ”
There were dozens of Jin Wuwei people he brought, and they quickly blocked the inside and outside of the Qianxi Palace, and Mr. Su and Xia Yan didn't dare to startle the snake, so they had to signal Su Qi to be calm and not be impatient, and then retreated.
The Qianxi Palace, which has never been cared about, suddenly became bustling, with a number of Jinwu guards patrolling back and forth every day, and four grandmothers guarding Su Qi day and night, not allowing her to have a moment of time alone.
Under such a tight protection like an iron bucket, even Mr. Su couldn't find a way to get Su Qi out. Receiving information from Xia Yan every day, the Yanbei army was like a bamboo, and captured more than 20 large and small cities one after another, and now it is only 100 miles away from Xijing.
Mr. Su became more and more worried: the day when the Yanbei army attacked Xijing City, it was the time of Xiaoqi's catastrophe!
However, Su Qi himself, who is remembered by many people, lived an unusually peaceful life in the siege.
Xu has experienced too many joys and sorrows, and the short few months seem to have spent a long life, so Su Qi actually doesn't care so much about his life and death.
She once promised him that in order to rehabilitate Zhaoxue for the Qi family, she would live with humiliation. Now, she has clearly understood the truth of the Qi family's troubles, if Mu Yunsong succeeds in seizing the throne and gives Emperor Mu Yunze a fair sentence, it can be regarded as avenging the Qi family and his father Mu Yutang.
Su Qi felt that he really had no regrets in this life. She had already secretly made up her mind that when the Yanbei army came to the city, if she could not escape from the palace, she would resolutely cut herself off and not let Mu Yunsong have the slightest hesitation and embarrassment because of him.
He will be a good emperor, loved by all the people, and blessed for a long time.
Three days later, the Yanbei army broke through the three city gates of Xijing, Bei and Xijing, and the troops came to Shenwu Gate.
Emperor Mu Yunze was dressed in golden dragon armor, standing on the city tower, looking around, a rolling black cloud on the horizon pressed down, turning noon into a dark night, which was the scene of a rainstorm in the future.
Behind him, he was ordered by Jin Wuwei or escorted, a row of trembling important ministers of the court, and hundreds of brocade guards holding embroidered spring knives to protect him.
In front of him, a platoon of soldiers mounted their cannons on the city wall, but at the command of the commander, they fired their cannons and killed them.
Mu Yunze stared at the tiger squat cannons lined up, and suddenly felt a little ironic: it is reported that these cannons were designed and cast by Qi Guozhong himself, and the Yanbei Army traveled thousands of miles to Xijing for the defense of the capital.
How could you have imagined that one day, they would become the last line of defense against the Yanbei rebels; And Qi Guozhong's daughter will become his last talisman for Mu Yunze to deal with Mu Yunsong.
Mu Yunze sneered, looking at the open and depressed city below, the wind before the rainstorm was raging, rolling up the yellow mud and sand under the city tower. Mu Yunsong was dressed in silver-gray armor, sitting majestically on the saddle, holding a spear in one hand and tightening the reins in the other.
The cavalry lined up behind him was the famous Yanbei Iron Cavalry, who had conquered Goryeo in the east, defeated the Japanese army, and subdued the Saibei tribes, with outstanding achievements. Even after a long march, they did not show fatigue, and they all held their heads high and were in good spirits.
In front of him was the five military camps guarding the Beijing Division, which was trained by Ye Cheng, the son of Ye Tao, the Duke of Dingguo, who had just been ordered the day before yesterday, and the official worshiped General Shenwu, and led the army to fight against the Yanbei rebels.
Ye Chengxun was in his early twenties, his silver-winged swallow armor was polished brightly and dazzlingly, and he was holding a long-handled broadsword in his hand, forcing himself to suppress the panic in his heart, and shouting out the words that he had practiced a hundred times in a loud voice: "Traitor Mu Yunsong, under the power of heaven, still don't you get off your horse and surrender?!" ”
Mu Yunsong on the horse did not speak, but the Dingyuan Marquis Helian Yu behind him rode forward, side by side with Mu Yunsong, and ignored Ye Chengxun, who was holding a posture, but raised his head and shouted to Ye Tao, the Duke of Dingguo who was standing behind the emperor on the city tower: "The faint monarch has no way, the beloved daughter of the Duke of Dingguo has been folded in his hands, and now he has to pay for a son?" ”
Dingguo Gong Ye Tao was suddenly named, stunned and shouted angrily: "Traitor, you don't want to sow discord!" Put down your weapons and take them down! ”
Helian Yu sneered: "Dare to ask Grandpa Ye, have you seen Ling Yan in the past three months, Concubine Ye Shuniang?" ”
Ye Tao was speechless for a moment, although he was forced to be calm, he glanced at the emperor suspiciously.
Helian Yu continued: "Three months ago, Concubine Ye Shufei couldn't bear the emperor to kill her personal maid with a cane, so she opened her mouth to intercede and persuaded the emperor not to kill innocents indiscriminately, so she was suffocated to death by the angry emperor with a pillow. Later, he was afraid that the Ye family would be held responsible, so he blocked the news, only saying that Concubine Ye Shu was serving the queen mother and did not see outsiders. Poor Concubine Ye Shu has already died and turned into a wisp of grievances! ”
Ye Tao was shocked when he heard this, and immediately asked the emperor for confirmation: "Your Majesty! What this thief said, but it's true?! ”
Mu Yunze was already frightened when Helian Yu spoke, but at this time, the army was pressing the city, and all he could count on was the five military camps under Ye Tao, so he had to smile and say, "Ye Qingxiu wants to listen to his nonsense!" Concubine Ye Aifei is now in the palace, and when this battle is won, I will immediately crown her as a concubine...... Empress! How is it? ”
Ye Tao looked incredulous, and pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword and said: "If my daughter is still here, Your Majesty will send someone to invite her to come to the city tower to see her, but the minister will see that her daughter is well, so she will naturally try her best to resist the enemy!" ”
Mu Yunze was helpless, but he could only nod first: "Okay, okay...... Ender! Send someone to invite Concubine Shu immediately! ”
