143: You sing and I will appear (one more)
That night, the eighth princess had a high fever and couldn't afford to get sick, and the fourth princess took care of her in a concubine, and she was raised for several days, and her spirit was better.
The fourth princess said to Chang Xi in private, this is frightened, and it will be fine if she takes a few medicines, and then sighed again, "The sixth brother and sister died tragically on the city wall like this, not to mention the eighth brother and sister who used to be quite good with her, even I, I have been having nightmares these nightmares these few nights, I thought that going to the edict was already the worst, it turned out that there were even worse, I was really afraid, when will this day come to an end?" In the end, I couldn't help crying, and I was obviously on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
Chang Xi comforted for a while, and the fourth princess barely cheered up, after all, she still has to consider the future of her children, the children have reached the age of starting a family, and they can't count on their father, so she can't be planned as a mother? Thinking of the children's wooden eyes, where is there still the high-spirited appearance of the nobles in the past? In an instant, she couldn't care about pity and sympathy for others, and it was better to focus on her own house if she had this time.
Seeing that the eyes of the four princesses gradually faded, Chang Xi stopped saying anything.
Later, after the eighth princess recovered from her illness, she did not mention writing to her husband to persuade her to surrender, and began to believe in the Buddha.
After the four princesses followed the incense and worshiped the Buddha for a while, they stopped following the trend, so only the eighth princess was left knocking on the wooden fish day and night like normal, and it was useless to persuade the children.
Wei Shi sighed with Chang Xi, "This is frightened, I am afraid that such a fate will fall on my head, so I will look for other comforts, let her go." ”
Chang Xi didn't want to care about it at first, first, she didn't have the energy, and secondly, the parties had to figure it out by themselves, it was useless for others to say anything, anyway, when the war was over, this matter would have nothing to do with her.
However, in the spirit of humanitarianism, she still invited a doctor to come to diagnose the pulse of the Eighth Emperor Concubine and prescribe a prescription, instead of asking for help from the gods and Buddhas, it is better to take medicine, after a long time, it will be fine.
As soon as Zhao Jin's army came out of the northwest, it instantly destroyed and swept across the battlefield, and the new Shenji battalion composed of new-style bird guns played a key role, almost as soon as they appeared, this war could be over.
Therefore, the army of the four princes stopped the army of the eighth prince for several days, and then withdrew, and the army of the eighth prince thought that the Gyeonggi area could drive straight into the capital to pick up leaks, after all, the army of the six princes had approached the capital, and a major war between the two sides was about to break out.
At this time, when he encountered Zhao Jin's army, as soon as the two sides fought, the army of the Eighth Prince was defeated and captured on the spot, and the army without the backbone of the backbone was dispersed all of a sudden, and those who fled fled, and those who surrendered surrendered, in short, this force dissipated.
After Chang Xi received the latest news on the battlefield, he only pondered for a while, and then told the news to the Eighth Imperial Princess, who burned incense and worshiped the Buddha.
I saw her turn the Buddha's hand and stop for a while, and then said in a flat tone, "That's okay, I don't want anything else now, I just want him to save his life." After speaking, he looked up at Chang Xi directly, obviously wanting a guarantee from her, with how much Zhao Jin cared about her, as long as she opened her mouth, she would definitely agree.
Chang Xi smiled, what do you want to do? Does she have such a deep friendship with her? Or do you owe her?
Take a step back and say, she has so much value for her to help?
This time she didn't say anything more, she turned around and left the small Buddha hall directly.
The Eighth Imperial Concubine was stunned, she thought that Chang Xi would have pity for her and in order to comfort her, she would agree to her unreasonable request, but she turned around and left, instantly full of embarrassment, and then laughed at herself, she was not self-sufficient.
Let's still chant the scriptures, at least you can make your own decisions about this matter.
The sound of the wooden fish sounded again, and Chang Xi, who had walked out of the road, heard it and glanced back with an indifferent expression.
Back in the front yard, she found Hu Niu, "You lead the team to the place where the fighting has subsided, one is to rescue the wounded, and the other is to put grain and porridge to calm the high local food prices, so that the people can be treated with injuries and have food to eat, and you are solely responsible for arranging this matter, can you do it?" ”
Hu Niu has been following Chang Xi all these years, and after practicing for so long, she can already be on her own, and she knows very well what Chang Xi wants to do, so she said very solemnly, "You can do it, Chang Niangzi, don't worry, I will not live up to your high expectations." ”
Chang Xi nodded, and then personally arranged for people to escort the tiger girl north with food.
The arrival of the tiger girl is like a god descending to the common people in the place where the war has subsided, so that their miserable days have been basically guaranteed, so that life can continue, so many people worship the tiger girl.
Hu Niu naturally did not accept it, she preached that this was not her credit, she was ordered by the eldest grandson and Chang Niangzi to come to save them, with only one purpose, that is, to hope that they could survive the difficulties and rebuild their homes, this rhetoric was a draft she had made when she came.
The reputation should be attributed to the eldest grandson and Chang Niangzi, especially Chang Niangzi, and it is very beneficial to be famous.
The local people originally complained about the royal battle and the disaster caused to them, but now when they heard this, they immediately turned to support Zhao Jin as the emperor, and some people asked who Chang Niangzi was? so that they may know that a tablet of immortality should be set up for her as well.
The tiger girl is a good boast, if Chang Xi hears it here, she will definitely have a red face, this is too bad, be careful that a bad operation will blow up.
But at this time, the people at the bottom needed such a mythical figure to appease the body and mind injured after the war, and the food in their mouths was real, so they easily accepted the boast of the tiger girl, and many people began to give Zhao Jin and Chang Xi immortal tablets to worship.
But this also has a bad consequence, that is, Wei received a letter from the capital, which was written to her by her husband, saying that since the martial law in the capital, he was worried, unfortunately contracted a cold, and now he is sick, I am afraid that time is running out, and I pray that she will take Chang Xi back to the capital to meet, so that he can die with peace of mind.
Wei Shi was furious when he saw it, and angrily scolded her husband for not being worthy of being a husband and a father, "Don't let the girl know about this letter, keep your mouth shut for me." ”
Before the next person could respond, Chang Xi strode in and said in a deep voice, "I already know." ”
The outside of this house is watched by the people of the fourth master, and there are also people from the father-in-law of Si, of course, her manpower is also interspersed in it, so she knows everything clearly, not to mention that the Wei family can receive this letter, which is also the result of her release of water.
Wei Shi looked at her daughter distressedly, "Don't listen to your father's chatter in the letter, he is used to deceiving people, and now he wants to trick you into going north as a hostage, so he will sell it miserably," At this time, she was not afraid to speculate on the person next to her with the greatest malice, "Take a step back and say, if he is really going to die, then die, what does it matter if you can't see it?" ”
Chang Xi looked at the letter in his hand at a glance, if he wasn't familiar with the person of the mighty marquis, he would probably really be deceived by the words in his letter, but this was not the focus of her attention, the focus was on how the letter was sent out of the capital to Yiyang, so it seems that the mighty marquis is likely to be used by one of the forces, as for whether this person is Emperor Chongde or the six princes besieging the capital, it is up for debate.
"Mother, I'll take this letter first," she waved the letter in her hand towards Wei, and then reassured, "Mother don't worry, I won't be easily fooled, I know this matter in my heart, and it is impossible to go north at this time." ”
Wei Shi then put his mind at ease, "That's how it should be, we don't need to pay attention to him, in fact, it's good to be dead, then it's pure." ”
She doesn't mind being widowed anymore, without a husband, she can dispose of all the concubines, and all the children will go to Zhuangzi to live, out of sight is pure, she is looking forward to such a new life, well, she is still looking forward to her husband being seriously ill at this time.
Chang Xi, who was holding the letter, went directly to the Xie Mansion to see the four masters.
Fourth Master Xie had been in contact with the Marquis of Weiwu and knew that this person was a hypocrite, so it was not surprising that he would write such a letter, but the letter was delivered to Yiyang safely, which is doubtful.
At this time, his face sank, "I'll send someone to secretly strengthen Yiyang's inspection, and I can't let the rats in at this time." ”
Chang Xi also means this, Yiyang can't be chaotic, let alone fall into the hands of the enemy, after all, his net worth and life are here, "Discuss with major households, allocate manpower to establish a patrol team, and then mobilize the people of Yiyang to raise their vigilance, encourage them to report suspicious characters, and strengthen the protective forces around us, we can't drag Zhao Jin back at this critical moment." ”
Fourth Master Xie is Zhao Jin's adoptive father, and she is Zhao Jin's lover, which of them is tied up as a hostage in the enemy camp, and the consequences are unimaginable.
Chang Xi never tested human nature, and she didn't think about how Zhao Jin would do such a hypothetical question if she was hung on the city wall like the Sixth Imperial Concubine and threatened Zhao Jin, what she should do was not to let such a thing happen, to prevent herself from being in danger, she would never give her life away easily.
Fourth Master Xie looked at Chang Xi deeply, then nodded, agreeing with her suggestion, "The Xie family will take the lead in this matter." ”
Chang Xi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, with the head snake of the Xie family taking the lead, many things will be solved.
Fourth Master Xie pondered for a while before he asked carefully, "Who do you think your father will be?" ”
Chang Xi sneered, "The letter can be sent out of the capital, which side does the fourth master think he will be?" ”
The besieging of the capital are the Six Princes and General Duan, are they good people? They must have a share of the credit for allowing the letter to reach Yiyang.
Fourth Master Xie instantly understood that the mighty Marquis had always been the person of the Six Princes.
At this time, the capital had already been in chaos, and the Empress Dowager Zheng was so anxious that the war was tense every day, and she was so worried that she couldn't sleep day and night, and she didn't even have the strength to scold the rebellious ministers and thieves.
Emperor Chongde was with the queen, and the couple were also in a panic, afraid that after the army invaded, would they still have a way to live?
"No, it's not that you have to escape, you can't stay in this imperial city anymore, otherwise everyone will die." Emperor Chongde clenched his fists.
"Your Majesty, you mean you want to escape?" The queen asked softly, for fear that loud noise would attract outsiders.
Emperor Chongde nodded, "You go and clean up the softness, take your children and become people, and then take advantage of the chaos to escape from the capital......"
"What about the Queen Mother?"
Speaking of Empress Dowager Zheng, Emperor Chongde's face was clouded, and he obviously hated his mother in his heart, "Don't worry about her, doesn't she believe in her lover?" Just let her lover take care of her. ”
When the queen got this, she stopped asking for a moment, she also hated the mother-in-law of Empress Dowager Zheng, and naturally didn't want to flee with her.
The capital said that the chaos was really chaotic, the mighty marquis and a group of nobles opened the city gate to welcome the six princes into the city, and the remaining resistance was quickly eliminated by General Duan, and the goal of the six princes was Emperor Chongde, he must catch this brother who killed the emperor and killed his father, so as to pay tribute to the spirit of his father in the sky.
Rushing to the palace, he was the first to stop and flee was the Empress Dowager Zheng, the former Concubine Zheng was inconspicuous, when he thought of his father's death, he was furious, and stabbed to death the Empress Dowager Zheng who wanted to ask for mercy with a sword, looking at the blood splashed on the palace wall, he felt that the emotions that had been suppressed in his heart were released, and he was suddenly much happier.
So he picked up his sword and continued to walk on the palace road, as long as he saw the people who fled in a hurry, he killed them, but he didn't find Lao Qi's chaotic ministers and thieves along the way, and the women in the harem were trembling and kneeling and begging for mercy, so he didn't kill them.
Realizing that Lao Qi was likely to flee with his wife and children as ordinary people, he turned around and asked people to close the city gate, and then searched the city, and he must capture Lao Qi.
When Emperor Chongde fled to the city gate with his wife and children and the last loyal guard, he was happy to escape, but the city gate suddenly closed, and they were in the middle of the city pushed by the officers and soldiers to rush to the city by the people who could not escape from the capital, apparently to check their identities.
His face suddenly turned to ashes, does the sixth man plan to let him go?
The queen, the former Seventh Imperial Concubine was also afraid of clutching her husband's sleeves, what should I do now?
The six princes sat on the coveted dragon chair, and before they had time to feel what it was like, they heard their subordinates hurriedly report that they had caught Emperor Chongde's family and were now escorted to the palace.
He jumped up suddenly, his face darkened, well, he was finally able to settle old accounts with Lao Qi, thinking of his wife and children who were killed by an arrow from his father-in-law, he put this account on Lao Qi's head, and if he was not tortured to death, it would be difficult to eliminate the hatred in his heart.
It's a pity that his idea was stopped by General Duan, who rushed over.
"Uncle Yue, why are you doing this?"
General Duan was not stunned at the roar of the Seventh Prince, but said indifferently, "Now is not the time to execute him, Your Highness does not need to be in such a hurry, the most important thing now is to hold the capital, and the eldest grandson is the tricky opponent." ”
His jealousy of Zhao Jin deepened day by day, not to mention that Zhao Jin had enough men and horses, and the grain and grass were well prepared, just the news that came, the courage of the new Shenji Battalion was enough for him to have a headache, and he felt his scalp tingle just thinking about it, not to mention that it was still a well-trained army?
So he scoffed at the six princes' actions of only caring about personal enmity, if it weren't for the fact that this person still had use value, he would have kicked him a long time ago, isn't it fragrant to sit on the throne himself?
At this time, he also looked at the dragon chair with hot eyes.
