On the side of Pingli, the rescue was also very smooth, there was no ambush or trap, and the servants of the prisoners arrived before they could do anything, and they were knocked down by the brothers.

There is no shop in front of the village here, and there is nowhere to escape the cold for a while, so Pingli burned the entire prisoner car and set a fire to warm his mother and second aunt.

The second lady was frozen and unconscious, and after her body warmed up, she breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't die for the time being.

Someone in the errand shouted that it was a capital crime for them to hijack the prisoner's car, so angry that he rushed over and gave the man who was going to beat his mother a few more times, and was pulled back by his brothers.

"Son, son." The third lady hurriedly summoned Pingli, and after her son came over, she held his face and looked at it, and said with tears, "It's really my son, Pingli, my mother thought that I would never see you again in this life." ”

She kissed Pingli a few times fiercely, making the young man shy, but even if her brows were twisted together, she was reluctant to push her mother away.

To say that the third lady is younger, and the second lady was anxious to fall ill before leaving home, where she can withstand this hardship, and now she can save a life, which is a great luck, Pingli brought a few life-saving pills with him, and fed them all to the second aunt.

"Zhen'er and Huaifeng, said that they were male dependents, and later they were also arrested and sent to prison, your grandmother went north, son, don't worry about your mother, go and save the old lady." The third lady said, "And your second sister-in-law, take Yanran to the west, the emperor is really ruthless, he won't let go of such a small doll, if it weren't for the help to send your sister to Jingzhou, this would be ......."

"The third brother has already gone to save grandma, he walks north shorter than me, grandma must be safe at this time." Pingli said, "Mother, I'll send you to a safe place, you and your second aunt will wait in place, I'll go back to the capital first, the family is too peaceful, I'll pick you up again." ”

The third lady asked happily: "Rong'er is not dead, why is it that the whole capital says that he was killed by the Zanxi people?" ”

Pingli said: "Who is my brother, can he die?" Okay, stop talking, save some energy, and we'll go find a place to settle down as soon as dawn comes. ”

But the third lady counted all the family, she couldn't be left behind, she couldn't be quiet, obviously still in the "excitement" of panic and the rest of her life, Pingli had no choice but to knock her mother unconscious, hold her in her arms in person, roast the fire to keep warm, and let her have a good rest.

Long before Pingli rescued his mother, Hanzhi had already received Chu Xue and Yan Ran, although the little niece was frightened, at least her mother was by her side, and Chu Xue was very strong all the way in order to protect her daughter, until she saw Han Zhi, she shed tears for the first time.

In the capital, early the next morning, Yunzhi entered the palace to ask to see the four princesses, the princess took her to see the queen, and the queen asked the emperor for pardon, and finally in the afternoon, she picked up Pingzhen and Huaifeng from the prison.

Huaifeng was very well-behaved and strong, and he didn't cry all the way home with his aunt, until he asked his aunt where his mother and sister were, Yunzhi couldn't answer, and he cried sadly, because his father coaxed him when he was in prison and said that his mother and sister were fine outside.

Yunzhi didn't cry with the child, she promised Min Yanshi not to cry anymore, and her nephew and little brother were taken to her side, which distracted her energy, even if she couldn't help with big things, she could do her best to take care of these two children, and she was worthy of her family.

And on this day, the subordinates of the Min Mansion came in and said that the capital was closed, and there was a way to get out of the city, but now no matter whether it is the people or the officials, they are not allowed to leave.

It was day and night, Min Yanshi did not come back, he sent someone to tell Yunzhi that Prince Sheng's team was approaching the capital and might call at any time.

In the imperial city, the main hall was brightly lit, and urgent reports came one after another, Prince Sheng took his two thousand personal soldiers, and walked for a few more hours, and he could reach the outside of the capital.

The queen stood outside the Hanyuan Palace, looking at the lights in front of her, her cheeks were red from the cold wind, but only in this way could she calm herself down.

The palace maids lit lanterns and introduced the four princesses through the side door, she walked to the queen's side and said softly: "Queen Mother, Your Royal Highness has already left, I am afraid that my father will suddenly summon him, and my sons and daughters don't know how to deal with it." ”

The queen said: "Just say no, you don't have to be afraid, I'm here." ”

The fourth princess said: "But the capital is closed today, can His Royal Highness go out?" ”

The queen sighed lightly: "I've arranged everything." ”

She turned sideways, saw the child hanging his head, his hands were clenched, and said a little gently: "Blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, the emperor has no intention of imperial power, after this turmoil, he can do what he wants, you should be happy for him." ”

The fourth princess said: "Your Royal Highness is unwilling for the crown prince. ”

The queen smiled and sighed: "It's a pity that I couldn't give birth to a son who suits my heart, they are brothers, and they are each other." ”

At this moment, there was a panic at the end of the hall, and the queen ordered the four princesses to go back to guard the child, she came alone, but before she entered the hall, she learned the news that someone had attacked Jin Dongsheng's ambush point.

In order to stabilize the border, Prince Sheng only brought 2,000 soldiers back to Beijing to receive rewards, but under the command of Jin Dongsheng and the forbidden army in Beijing, tens of thousands of people surrounded the entire city into an iron bucket, and 2,000 men and horses against tens of thousands of people, which is equivalent to four or two thousand catties.

The empress knew very well that Prince Sheng not only wanted to take away the imperial power this time, but also trampled the dignity and pride of the emperor under his feet, and his brother abandoned the land and people, violating his bottom line, and it was the emperor who trampled on his patience first.

"Mother." Someone in the main hall came out, saw the queen, and hurriedly saluted.

"How's it going?" The queen asked, "Prince Katsu called?" ”

The inner attendant said: "The servant heard that it was General Jin who had a team of men and horses that were raided, and somehow, thousands of people seemed to have been poisoned, and they couldn't even raise their swords and guns, and only a few people could still kill the enemy, but they were all subdued, and that ambush point had been surrounded and controlled." ”

The queen said, "Someone poisoned the food? ”

The chamberlain replied, "It should be so." ”

He wanted to say that Emperor Jiasheng was calling inside, and the queen ordered him to go down, and he came in himself.

When the emperor saw his wife, he was very impatient, as if he felt too embarrassed, and even the queen did not want to see him for a while.

The queen said bluntly: "The soldiers are not tired of cheating, he has been fighting on the battlefield since he was a child, and the entire Daqi country has left his footprints, he has the courage to bring 2,000 people to fight against tens of thousands of people, what to do, how to do it, it has already been calculated." ”

The emperor was silent, clutching a piece of urgent information in his hand and clenching his fists.

The queen said: "Compared with the art of war, you and all the ministers may not be able to count him, it is better to come openly, let's open the city gates, welcome him in, and aim all the forces in one place, even if two thousand people have three heads and six arms, they cannot defeat tens of thousands of troops." Your Majesty, now we are in the light, he is in the dark, and only when we are together under the sun can we hope to confront. ”

The emperor looked at the empress in a daze, this suggestion, the ministers also mentioned, although the capital is protected by tens of thousands of troops, but the capital has several city gates, coupled with the vigilance of the palace, tens of thousands of troops are scattered.

Prince Ruosheng only attacked one place, and before he waited for the city to dispatch troops, he would have broken through the city gate a long time ago.

The queen said: "Thousands of people, easily became prisoners, he still came secretly, there was no wave on the surface, the people didn't even know what happened, the emperor, do you still want to fight with him in the art of war, fight wisdom?" ”

"Shut up!" Annoyed and angry, the emperor slapped the table with a loud bang, pointed at the queen and scolded, "Don't think that I don't know, you have removed all the ambushes I sent in the name of me, so that they can successfully hijack the prisoner car and save people." ”

The queen knelt down and said, "Yes, it was the concubine's doing, the concubine's ...... Just wanted to leave you a back road. ”

The emperor's eyes were scarlet: "You already know that I am going to lose, right, and you are already determined to give up this throne to others, right?" Who supported me in the first place, no matter how difficult it was, he would not give up the position of prince, but I didn't expect that one day we would ascend to the supreme, and ten years later, it was you who gave up on me first. ”

The queen shook her head: "The concubine has not given up on you, Your Majesty, open the city gate, welcome your younger brother in, don't make a fuss, don't make the people miserable." Between brothers, if there is anything that cannot be said in a sitting down, even if the concubine risks her life, she will try her best to persuade him for you. ”

The Emperor raised his eyelids and said with a gloomy expression, "What if I want you to sacrifice yourself to assassinate him?" ”

The queen's expression was resolute: "If the emperor has this intention, the concubines will not hesitate." ”

Emperor Jiasheng had tears in his eyes, and he walked step by step, supporting the queen, when he was the most difficult and depressed that he wanted to die every day, it was his wife who guarded him and supported him to this day.

"I won't let you die." The Emperor said, "I have arranged for the assassin, and tomorrow I will let him out." ”

The queen was puzzled: "Who did you arrange?" ”

The emperor said: "Zhu Chengqian." ”

Early the next morning, Zhu Chengye slept soundly in the prison, and when he heard the movement of the door lock, he woke up suddenly, but unfortunately it was not his cell that was opened, and the brother next door was taken out again.

And he saw with his own eyes that the jailer untied the handcuffs and anklets, but a few days ago, whether he was arraigned or summoned by the emperor, he went out in handcuffs and anklets, why is it untied today?

"Big brother, big brother ......" Zhu Chengye shouted on the cell door.

Zhu Chengqian looked back, smiled coldly, and left without looking back.
