"The walls of the capital are higher than the Weizhou City of that day, and the soldiers and horses in the city are all lacking, but they have not even stopped a wave of attacks from the north. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" When Li You heard the news, he didn't know what to say, he was already using his greatest imagination to estimate the weakness of the imperial court, but he didn't expect them to break through the lower limit.

"The Beiyu haven't even used ants to attack the city, and they just used trebuchets to smash the north gate of the outer city of the capital." Sima Cuo also shook his head again and again, if such a thing happened in Daqin, the officials and craftsmen in charge of the repair of the city wall were all reinstated, "For three days in a row, the defenders in the city let the trebuchets of the northern captives launch without any scruples, neither retaliated with trebuchets, nor sent cavalry out of the city to burn these trebuchets, and when the city was broken, the army was all scattered, and there was not one of the ten who stayed in place to resist the northern captives." ”

Sima was wrong for this, but he blamed the defenders in the city, they didn't think of using trebuchets and other ordnance to fight back, but most of these ordnance built by the Ministry of Industry were unusable, and they fell apart after firing once or twice, and only those remaining good trebuchets were pulled to the rear by the imperial court in the name of defending the inner city; At that time, Qiu Shangjian was stunned when he heard the news, if the outer city was broken, what was the use of keeping the inner city?

"After the order is passed, the generals of all departments immediately began to reorganize the army and prepare to go north to the capital." Li You made a decision, the Northern Captives seemed to act earlier than he imagined, and he didn't expect the defenders of the capital to be so incompetent, and the outer city was broken by the Northern Captives in just a few days, and now he really can't stay here any longer.

"But now there are still a few days before the January period agreed with Yuan Zhang, isn't it a little early to go north now?" Xu Guang hesitated slightly, he estimated that the spread of this matter would be detrimental to Li You's reputation.

"I thought that the capital would survive this month no matter what, so I made such an agreement with Yuan Zhang, and now that the capital has been broken, I can't take care of it so much. If it is any longer, I am afraid that the inner city will be broken by them. Li You was quite unwilling.

"What the king said is that at this time and at that time, now that the capital is broken, presumably the northern captives are busy burning and looting, and now is the time to attack them by surprise." Sima was born in the Qin State, and the Qin State was flexible in its handling of the alliance, so he did not take the one-month period agreed with Yuan Zhang to heart.

Xu Guang stopped talking, and the rest of Qian Hua, Zhou Bofu, Qin Shixin, Luo Shiji and others were even more eager to start a war with Beiyu immediately, so would they refute it? Immediately went down to sort out their own troops and horses, and after a short time, the 30,000 army was ready to go north, Li You immediately ordered the camp to be pulled, and more than 30,000 people lined up in a long line to march in the direction of the capital.

I hope that those officials of the imperial court can still have some bones and hold on until the arrival of our army, and then find a suitable opportunity to annihilate the 10,000-strong team of the northern captives, eliminate the fear of the northern captives of the army, and then gather the Qinwang army on the left to act together, and the inner city may still have a glimmer of possibility to be saved, Li You thought in his heart.

It's a pity that the imperial court disappointed him again, just when Li You was preparing to lead the army north, the queen mother and the important ministers in the court had already begun to discuss surrender, Lu Chengqing took the lead in attacking the main hall, "If it weren't for Yang Xiangguo who deposed Yuan Zhang with his own selfishness that day, then why would the northern kingdom grow stronger?" In this invasion of the northern country, Yang Xiangguo should bear the primary responsibility. ”

"What Lu Shangshu said is that the lower officials heard that the northern army pressed the border this time, because the Great Khan wanted to avenge Yuan Zhang, and it was because Yang Xiangguo was still in a high position, and Yuan Guoshi did not trust us." Another official came out to help, "Now only by handing over Yang Xiangguo to the north can the peace talks be reopened." ”

"The Queen Mother, Weichen has a plan to play, and Weichen impeached Yang Jiefu for corruption and bribery during his reign in charge of the dynasty, and accumulated countless wealth; If Yang Jiefu is dismissed from office and his house is raided, he will definitely get countless money, and he may not be able to make up for the gap needed by the northern country. This one was even more ruthless, and directly showed his estimate of Yang Jiefu's family property, "According to Weichen's inquiry, Yang Jiefu's mansion now has more than 10 million dollars, and gold and silver cloth are piled up, which is suitable for paying tribute to the northern country." ”

At this moment, even if the queen mother who even had a trace of sympathy for Yang Jiefu was moved, in order to make up enough compensation for the northern country, she turned the inner treasury of the palace upside down, and the amount she got was still a big gap from what the northern country demanded, but she didn't expect that there was still so much money in Yang Jiefu's house, and the official's words opened a new window for her, since Yang Jiefu's family has so much money, then how can the savings of important ministers like Lu Chengqing, Hu Songnian, and Bi Cheng, who are also in power and have been officials for many years, be less? The royal family has exhausted all their wealth in order to retire from the army, and they still guard the family business and refuse to take it out, which is a big disloyalty!

"Yang Xiangguo, what else do you have to say?" The Queen Mother looked at Yang Jiefu coldly, and at this time she had decided to completely abandon the prime minister.

"Wait for a bunch of nonsense......" Before Yang Jiefu could speak, Yang Deming couldn't help it first, he immediately jumped out of the queue and scolded the few people who had just impeached Yang Jiefu.

"Rebel! Retire! Yang Jiefu knew that he was already lacking in skills at this time, and he only hoped that his affairs would not affect Yang Deming's life, so he immediately stopped Yang Deming, and knelt down to the Queen Mother to confess his guilt, "The old minister has nothing to say. ”

"Come on, put Yang Jiefu and Yang Deming in prison." The Queen Mother made a decision, "Ordered Bi Cheng, the secretary of the household department, and Lu Bin, the official of the Imperial City Division, to be responsible for confiscating the wealth of Yang Jiefu's family, and confiscating all of them into the treasury for future use." ”

"The minister/slave obeys." Bi Cheng and Lu Bin issued a list of orders at the same time, one of them is a representative of foreign officials, and the other is a minister, the queen mother is not at ease with these courtiers now, if this matter is handed over to them, I don't know how much silver can be copied, there must be a cronies to keep an eye on them.

If the amount of silver copied out is considerable, then maybe you can consider copying more officials' homes, the Queen Mother handed Lu Bin a look, suggesting that he was staring at Bi Cheng's small actions during the raiding of the house, Bi Cheng is the head of the household, and the silver that has passed from his hands is like flowing water, presumably he also has a lot of savings at home, right? At this time, the Queen Mother finally made a decision that matched her identity.

Yang Jiefu and Yang Deming were dragged away by the guards in front of the palace, Bi Cheng and Lu Bin went down to confiscate Yang Jiefu's family property, and after the order was restored in the main hall, the Queen Mother said, "Chen Qing's family, you hurry up and go out of the city again, and tell Yuan Guoshi that the imperial court has taken down Yang Jiefu's father and son, and let him dispose of it, and the compensation is also being prepared, and I hope he will not attack the inner city again."
