Chapter 222: Prisoner

After going down the city tower, Xiao Yunhe called a pawn: "Where is the emperor now, take me to see him." Coincidentally, it was the pawn who was robbed of the knife by Xiao Yunhe. When the little pawn saw Xiao Yunhe's bloody and murderous body, he couldn't help but feel a little stunned in his heart, and hurriedly bowed with a trembling mouth: "General, please come here." Xiao Yunhe glanced at his body along the eyes of the little pawn, from top to bottom there were blood stains diluted by the rain, only the old blood stain on his chest dried up and turned into a pitch black. The purple brocade robe had turned a black sauce color, and there was a disgusting smell of blood. He wiped his nose and frowned and thought to himself: When will I take the time to change this flashy and sloppy clothes, it is better to get a set of armor to wear on my body.

After walking a few steps, he almost collided with Ju Wenzhen head-on. The little eunuch held a large porcelain bowl in his hand, holding half a bowl of steaming flowers.

Xiao Yunhe looked at the things that were not even as good as pig food in this kind of large porcelain bowl used by the people, and reached out to take it and glanced at Ju Wenzhen. The little eunuch showed embarrassment on his face, and muttered, "General, you can eat somewhere else." It's a little bit of food from the Imperial Chef. If it weren't for the fact that you are recovering from a serious illness and urgently need to eat to nourish your body, people would not be willing to give so much at once!"

Xiao Yunhe smiled slightly, and waved his hand to let the little pawn who led the way retreat. The little pawn immediately ran away as if he had been amnestied, causing Ju Wenzhen to shout angrily behind his back: "You should be killed with a thousand knives, so rude!"

Xiao Yunhe smiled, sat on a tree stump on the side of the road with a large porcelain bowl, and ate it with his hand. A few vegetable leaves mixed with some brown rice, dregs, and grass roots boiled in a pot, and there was a sticky smell of grass, but Xiao Yunhe devoured it like a sweet syrup. Although he was the emperor in his previous life, he shared weal and woe with the soldiers all his life, and he ate this kind of thing more than once or twice when the army was out of food. Although it was crude and difficult to swallow, Xiao Yunhe ate it very deliciously and sweetly, and there was actually an excitement in his heart. It seems that this bowl of leftover rice, which is not even as good as pig food, has made him return to the era when Jin Ge Iron Horse was heroic and united to break the stubborn enemy. Xiao Yunhe took a few bites, and inadvertently glanced at the side, Ju Wenzhen stood aside with his head hanging down, his eyes were glancing at Xiao Yunhe's bowl intentionally or unintentionally, and swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva.

Xiao Yunhe stood up and handed the large porcelain bowl in his hand to him: "Eat." I'm full. ”

Ju Wenzhen's eyes lit up suddenly, but he immediately shook his head and waved his hand: "The general is short of food, how dare the villain ......" He would never believe it in his heart, he never regarded his subordinates and eunuchs as the eldest of people, and would be so kind to give this hard-won diet to himself to eat.

Xiao Yunhe wrinkled his brows: "If you are told to eat, you will eat, and the rambling will not end." After eating, take me to the emperor, don't delay me to do business!"

Ju Wenzhen was really stunned for a moment, couldn't help but kneel down excitedly, respectfully took the big porcelain bowl, and looked at Xiao Yunhe a few times hesitantly. Xiao Yunhe wrinkled his eyebrows, and Ju Wenzhen finally had the courage to gobble it up. At the end of the day, I almost broke the bowl and licked it clean.

Xiao Yunhe looked at this little eunuch who was like a starving ghost and couldn't help laughing. Ju Wenzhen suddenly cried and wiped a few handfuls of tears: "General, this, this is the best thing the villain has ever eaten in his life! General, if you are hungry and panicked one day, the villain will chop off this leg and cook soup for the general!"

Xiao Yunhe patted his shoulder and shook it vigorously a few times: "Don't talk nonsense." Go, take me to the Emperor!"

"Hey, general, let's go!" Ju Wenzhen nodded excitedly, wiping her tears while leading the way, but she muttered in her heart: It seems that the ghost upper body is not only bad. This general is obviously much more magnanimous than before! I just risked this worthless life to protect the master, and it is worth it! Otherwise, I am afraid that I am already ......

Xiao Yunhe wanted to meet this emperor for a long time - Ye Shi, a descendant of the unscrupulous people. What kind of virtue is a bastard who can't even control the army under his command? Ye Shi, he transferred soldiers and horses from Jingyuan to the eastern capital to help in the war, but as a result, he could not provide food and grass, and the promised rewards could not be fulfilled, and the soldiers of Jingyuan were extremely dissatisfied. Later, the Jingyuan army openly robbed the people in Chang'an City to replenish the army food and rewards, Ye Shi actually sent people to summon them, but in the end there was a mutiny, and the Jingyuan army rebelled! In front of the Suzaku Gate, Ye Yi witnessed dozens of princes of the Ye family and his relatives being beheaded and mutilated by the rebels, and sisters, wives and concubines were brutalized to death, and then vomited blood and fainted to death. Then this bastard emperor abandoned the Zongmiao Longque in the imperial capital and fled to this small county in Beijing, so that the entire city of Chang'an fell into the hands of the rebels.

This is simply a disaster and a great shame for the clan! Although it was Ye Yi's family who killed instead of his Xiao Yunhe, Xiao Yunhe was still furious and could not forgive this incompetent feudal official and the rebels who should have killed him with a thousand knives.

Even if it is the people of Li Shu in the world of Great Qi, I have always regarded them as treasures, not to mention the people of Great Qi, how can you be satisfied with wanton killing! Ye Shi, you are simply a sinner of Great Qi through the ages!

Xiao Yunhe walked all the way over, and everywhere he could see the traces of the house being demolished. Piles of people huddled in the tattered, narrow, wet grass huts, crying and crying. Everyone's face was a yellowish dish of over-hunger. A few dirty-faced children, skinny as wood, lying weakly in the arms of a woman with numb eyes, and they didn't know whether they were dead or alive. There are even some people, sobbing low around a few corpses, although they are weak, but they are still digging pits and preparing to bury them.

Xiao Yunhe's brows twisted into a big pimple, and he murmured sadly and angrily in his heart: "People, my people!

Ju Wenzhen took Xiao Yunhe to a big mansion and stopped. It can be seen that this was once the seat of the county government. It's just that now the plaque of the county government has been removed, and there are a few soldiers with guns and armor at the door.

Xiao Yunhe tried his best to calm his excitement and stepped into the courtyard. As soon as you look at it, you can see two neat rows of guards lined up in a passageway that leads straight to the inside. In the courtyard of the county government, a few iron pots are being set up and are boiling around, and they are actually white rice porridge. Come to think of it, this is probably a meal for the emperor's ministers.

Ju Wenzhen stood outside the courtyard and waited, Xiao Yunhe strode to the front of the main hall, but was blocked by a young doorman wearing armor walking in front of him. The doorman and the young general bowed his hand: "General, please stay!"

Xiao Yunhe glanced at him, cut his hands behind his back and said proudly: "Get out of the way, this king wants to see the emperor." "General, please forgive me!" The young general bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty has just gone to bed, so it's better not to disturb." He couldn't help but beat a drum in his heart: Isn't this a big death? Why is he standing here alive again, covered in blood, and the whole person seems to have come back from hell...... What a strange thing!

Is the emperor asleep? At this moment, he can still sleep? Xiao Yunhe couldn't help but feel a trace of anger in his heart, staring at this young general and saying: "I have a major military aircraft to report, and I can't delay for a moment, so you can quickly go in and report it!"

"This ......" the little colonel stammered in embarrassment, still standing in the way and refusing to get out of the way. Although he knew that the emperor was good at relying on this great dependence and grace, he didn't dare to let him in and disturb the emperor's rest by risking his big disapproval—and this big man looked so weird today, as if he had changed a person, both calm and a little domineering, where was he still the same gentleman who only knew how to mess around before.

At this moment, the door opened from the inside, and an obese eunuch about forty years old opened the door and bowed to Xiao Yunhe and said, "General, please come in, Your Majesty will order you to come in—you are really getting more and more stupid, and you dare to stand in the way! Quick, please come in!"

The doorkeeper let out a long breath in his heart and flashed to the side. Xiao Yunhe glanced at the fat eunuch a few times, and he was as kind as an old monk. If it weren't for the fat and white face and no blood, it would be really appropriate to put a few precepts on his head and become the abbot of a temple.

The fat eunuch led Xiao Yunhe a few steps in front of him with broken steps, and said in a low voice: "The general is safe, and His Majesty the Emperor will be at ease." He led Xiao Yunhe around the hall with a log arch, and saw a bedroom separated by a silk curtain.

The fat eunuch bowed and retreated to the side, Xiao Yunhe couldn't see clearly through the silk curtain, and faintly saw only a person in a yellow robe sitting up from the bed. He strongly restrained the impulse in his heart, and forced himself to bow down to this unworthy descendant: "Your Majesty, Weichen is here." ”

He did not kneel, nor did he call himself a 'son'. Now to ask him to do such a thing, indeed...... It's hard to do!

The fat eunuch standing on the side couldn't help but twist his brows slightly, lowered his head and glanced at Xiao Yunhe a few times, and muttered in his heart: "It's weird! I usually know how to be flamboyant, but today I saw that the emperor didn't kneel...... Is this sun coming out of the west?

Emperor Ye Shi, who was behind the silk curtain, obviously sped up some movements, so that the two eunuchs around him quickly put clothes on him, lifted the silk curtain and walked out, and said with some surprise: "Yi'er, you ...... You're safe and sound!

Now, Xiao Yunhe has completely seen this Ye Shi in front of him. He is in his forties and slightly fat, with a few locks of black beard, a square face and a big nose, wrinkles have crept up on his forehead, and his expression is full of weakness and exhaustion. At first glance, this is not an obnoxious person, and there are even a few things that are approachable and amiable.

Xiao Yunhe restrained his eyes, looked down at the ground, and arched his hand: "Thank Your Majesty Xià Hongfu, Weichen finally walked away after the ghost gate closed and came back." Your Majesty, the enemy army is about to make a comeback and attack the Jingshi. His Majesty should now convene a hundred civil and military officials to discuss how to defend against the enemy. "When he said the words 'majesty' again, Xiao Yunhe's heart was really blocked. I have been the emperor for more than 20 years, and I don't know that I was called '陛xià' by tens of millions of people...... At present, he has to swallow his anger to call others His Majesty, and this person is not someone else, but his own unworthy descendant. He was really panicked in his heart!

Ye Shi suddenly looked at Xiao Yunhe with doubts, and reached out to touch his forehead, stroked the flesh mole on his forehead with his big finger, and said with some surprise: "Yi'er, you ...... How are you concerned about these things? Oh, your body and hair are covered with blood? You are the cleanest in your daily life, and you don't see a single dirt on your clothes. Come, come, I'll give you a set of clothes, and you can change for me. ”

I have to say that this Ye Shi still really cares about and loves "Ye Yi", a typical loving father. And this concern is clearly not contrived, but heartfelt. Xiao Yunhe felt a sense of contradiction and awkwardness in his heart, how could this dignified Emperor of Great Qi be chattering and verbose like an old mother!

Xiao Yunhe took a step or two back, still bent down and bowed his hand according to his temperament: "Your Majesty, the military situation is urgent at the moment, please let me pay attention to these things later? Wei Chen walked all the way just now and found that there are still many mansions in the vicinity, if they are demolished, it will be enough for the soldiers of the four gates to defend the city for more than a month. ”

Ye Shi snorted lightly and said in surprise: "Yi'er, you are very wrong today! In the past, you paid the most attention to royal prestige and decency. The mansions you see right now, in addition to my dormitory, are the residences of princes, princesses, and courtiers, and among them are your room. How do you ......"

Xiao Yunhe didn't have time to think about it carefully, and immediately continued: "Your Majesty, if there are not enough equipment to defend the city, and the Jingshi is broken by the rebels, will the royal family, ministers, and people in the city still have their lives? Maybe the rebels will appease the ministers and the people, but the people in our royal family will definitely be cut down and wiped out! If even their lives are gone, naturally there will be no royal majesty and grandeur. What's more, at present, the houses of the people in Jingshi County have been demolished and almost clean, but His Majesty has brought the royal ministers to sit in the mansion, which will also make the people feel cold! If the people are not mobilized to win the hearts of the people, it will become extremely difficult to defend the city! The ministers are willing to ask His Majesty to issue an order to allow the demolition of the mansion of the prince and princess first, and those ministers will naturally not be able to dodge anymore, and they will automatically ask for orders to demolish their own mansions!"

The king, the boat, the people, the water. At such a critical juncture, the disparity in numbers and the lack of troops on our own side will undoubtedly be even more critical if we do not mobilize the people to help. Xiao Yunhe naturally understands this truth deeply. The more difficult and difficult it is, the less we can abandon the people.

Ye Shi, who had just come back to his senses from a half-dream, was slightly stunned, slowly paced a few steps, walked to a stool and sat down, wrinkling his brows and muttering: "The people's heart, the people's help...... Since the rebellion of the 'Four Kings and Two Emperors' and the 'Jingshi Rebellion', I have rushed to the capital in a hurry, can I still expect their help......?

Xiao Yunhe looked at this discouraged and unmotivated Ye Shi, and couldn't wait to jump up and slap him a few times. He held back his anger and said in a calm tone: "Your Majesty, the people are actually very easy to satisfy, and it is also easy to mobilize. If the emperor can share weal and woe with them and go to the national disaster together, the people will definitely swear to repay the death! The minister guessed that it would not be long before the army of King Qin would come to the rescue. As long as it can hold out until then, the siege of Jingshi will definitely be solved. Your Majesty, the demolition of the house seems to be just a trivial move, but it is a matter of the overall situation, Your Majesty must think twice!" Xiao Yunhe said such words, not just to comfort Ye Shi and make him agree to his request. His judgment and foresight are more based on his judgment and speculation on the current situation. The basis for this judgment and speculation is his unparalleled wisdom and insight and the accumulation of rich experience in governing the country.

Ye Shi was suddenly startled, and couldn't help but stand up and look at Xiao Yunhe seriously and suspiciously: "Yi'er, how do you know that the master of King Qin will come to the rescue?" Ye Shi's heart was also full of doubts: This Yi'er, why does it seem like a different person today? These words should not have come out of his mouth. Could it be that there is a master behind him? No, today's friendship, even the tone of his eyes is a little different from usual...... It's weird!

Xiao Yunhe thought quickly in his heart: It's better not to show too much sharpness and arouse his suspicions...... So he said slowly: "Weichen also heard from General Hun Yang and several other generals. They said that the news of the rebellion of the rebels in Chang'an must have spread all over the world by now. The Jingshi is located in the Yongzhou Pass, and the rescue Wang Shida can come from all directions. His Majesty is the royal orthodoxy of the world. The minister thought, after all, there are still many righteous people in the world, and someone must lead the troops to come to the rescue!"

Ye Shi suddenly showed a look of surprise on his face: "Is this really the case......? Yi'er, I have granted your request, and made you the generalissimo of the imperial army, and together with the deputy marshal of the camp, Hun Ying, will stick to the capital division! I immediately decreed that all the princes and princesses should live with me. Take someone to tear down their house and use it!"

Xiao Yunhe was immediately overjoyed, and bowed his hand: "Minister-Thanks!"

The 'Generalissimo of the Imperial Soldiers and Horses' is basically just a temporary position at the moment. Since the Anshi Rebellion, the emperor often asked the prince to be a generalissimo in name, and then let a truly capable and brave general serve as a deputy marshal to preside over military affairs. But this false position is too useful for Xiao Yunhe! He doesn't care what kind of false title he has, he is the generalissimo, and he will personally command this battle to defend the Beijing division. If you want to say that you can win a thousand miles on the battlefield, when will Xiao Yunhe be willing to fall behind? !

After going down the city tower, Xiao Yunhe called a pawn: "Where is the emperor now, take me to see him." Coincidentally, it was the pawn who was robbed of the knife by Xiao Yunhe. When the little pawn saw Xiao Yunhe's bloody and murderous body, he couldn't help but feel a little stunned in his heart, and hurriedly bowed with a trembling mouth: "General, please come here." Xiao Yunhe glanced at his body along the eyes of the little pawn, from top to bottom there were blood stains diluted by the rain, only the old blood stain on his chest dried up and turned into a pitch black. The purple brocade robe had turned a black sauce color, and there was a disgusting smell of blood. He wiped his nose and frowned and thought to himself: When will I take the time to change this flashy and sloppy clothes, it is better to get a set of armor to wear on my body.

After walking a few steps, he almost collided with Ju Wenzhen head-on. The little eunuch held a large porcelain bowl in his hand, holding half a bowl of steaming flowers.

Xiao Yunhe looked at the things that were not even as good as pig food in this kind of large porcelain bowl used by the people, and reached out to take it and glanced at Ju Wenzhen. The little eunuch showed embarrassment on his face, and muttered, "General, you can eat somewhere else." It's a little bit of food from the Imperial Chef. If it weren't for the fact that you are recovering from a serious illness and urgently need to eat to nourish your body, people would not be willing to give so much at once!"

Xiao Yunhe smiled slightly, and waved his hand to let the little pawn who led the way retreat. The little pawn immediately ran away as if he had been amnestied, causing Ju Wenzhen to shout angrily behind his back: "You should be killed with a thousand knives, so rude!"

Xiao Yunhe smiled, sat on a tree stump on the side of the road with a large porcelain bowl, and ate it with his hand. A few vegetable leaves mixed with some brown rice, dregs, and grass roots boiled in a pot, and there was a sticky smell of grass, but Xiao Yunhe devoured it like a sweet syrup. Although he was the emperor in his previous life, he shared weal and woe with the soldiers all his life, and he ate this kind of thing more than once or twice when the army was out of food. Although it was crude and difficult to swallow, Xiao Yunhe ate it very deliciously and sweetly, and there was actually an excitement in his heart. It seems that this bowl of leftover rice, which is not even as good as pig food, has made him return to the era when Jin Ge Iron Horse was heroic and united to break the stubborn enemy. Xiao Yunhe took a few bites, and inadvertently glanced at the side, Ju Wenzhen stood aside with his head hanging down, his eyes were glancing at Xiao Yunhe's bowl intentionally or unintentionally, and swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva.

Xiao Yunhe stood up and handed the large porcelain bowl in his hand to him: "Eat." I'm full. ”

Ju Wenzhen's eyes lit up suddenly, but he immediately shook his head and waved his hand: "The general is short of food, how dare the villain ......" He would never believe it in his heart, he never regarded his subordinates and eunuchs as the eldest of people, and would be so kind to give this hard-won diet to himself to eat.

Xiao Yunhe wrinkled his brows: "If you are told to eat, you will eat, and the rambling will not end." After eating, take me to the emperor, don't delay me to do business!"

Ju Wenzhen suddenly cried and wiped a few handfuls of tears: "General, this, this is the best thing the villain has ever eaten in his life!

Xiao Yunhe patted his shoulder and shook it vigorously a few times: "Don't talk nonsense." Go, take me to the Emperor!"

"Hey, general, let's go!" Ju Wenzhen nodded excitedly, wiping her tears while leading the way, but she muttered in her heart: It seems that the ghost upper body is not only bad. This general is obviously much more magnanimous than before! I just risked this worthless life to protect the master, and it is worth it! Otherwise, I am afraid that I am already ......

A few dirty-faced children, skinny as wood, lying weakly in the arms of a woman with numb eyes, and they didn't know whether they were dead or alive. There are even some people, sobbing low around a few corpses, although they are weak, but they are still digging pits and preparing to bury them.

Quick, please come in!"

The doorkeeper let out a long breath in his heart and flashed to the side. Xiao Yunhe glanced at the fat eunuch a few times, and he was as kind as an old monk. If it weren't for the fat and white face and no blood, it would be really appropriate to put a few precepts on his head and become the abbot of a temple.

The fat eunuch led Xiao Yunhe a few steps in front of him with broken steps, and said in a low voice: "The general is safe, and His Majesty the Emperor will be at ease." He led Xiao Yunhe around the hall with a log arch, and saw a bedroom separated by a silk curtain.

I have to say that this Ye Shi still really cares about and loves "Ye Yi", a typical loving father. And this concern is clearly not contrived, but heartfelt.

He held back his anger and said in a calm tone: "Your Majesty, the people are actually very easy to satisfy, and it is also easy to mobilize. If the emperor can share weal and woe with them and go to the national disaster together, the people will definitely swear to repay the death! The minister guessed that it would not be long before the army of King Qin would come to the rescue. As long as it can hold out until then, the siege of Jingshi will definitely be solved. Your Majesty, the demolition of the house seems to be just a trivial move, but it is a matter of the overall situation, Your Majesty must think twice!" Xiao Yunhe said such words, not just to comfort Ye Shi and make him agree to his request. His judgment and foresight are more based on his judgment and speculation on the current situation. The basis for this judgment and speculation is his unparalleled wisdom and insight and the accumulation of rich experience in governing the country.

Ye Shi was suddenly startled, and couldn't help but stand up and look at Xiao Yunhe seriously and suspiciously: "Yi'er, how do you know that the master of King Qin will come to the rescue?" Ye Shi's heart was also full of doubts: This Yi'er, why does it seem like a different person today? These words should not have come out of his mouth. Could it be that there is a master behind him? No, today's friendship, even the tone of his eyes is a little different from usual...... It's weird!

Xiao Yunhe thought quickly in his heart: It's better not to show too much sharpness and arouse his suspicions...... So he said slowly: "Weichen also heard from General Hun Yang and several other generals. They said that the news of the rebellion of the rebels in Chang'an must have spread all over the world by now. The Jingshi is located in the Yongzhou Pass, and the rescue Wang Shida can come from all directions. His Majesty is the royal orthodoxy of the world. The minister thought, after all, there are still many righteous people in the world, and someone must lead the troops to come to the rescue!"

Ye Shi suddenly showed a look of surprise on his face: "Is this really the case......? Yi'er, I have granted your request, and made you the generalissimo of the imperial army, and together with the deputy marshal of the camp, Hun Ying, will stick to the capital division! I immediately decreed that all the princes and princesses should live with me. Take someone to tear down their house and use it!"

Xiao Yunhe was immediately overjoyed, and bowed his hand: "Minister-Thanks!"

The 'Generalissimo of the Imperial Soldiers and Horses' is basically just a temporary position at the moment. Since the Anshi Rebellion, the emperor often asked the prince to be a generalissimo in name, and then let a truly capable and brave general serve as a deputy marshal to preside over military affairs. But this false position is too useful for Xiao Yunhe! He doesn't care what kind of false title he has, he is the generalissimo, and he will personally command this battle to defend the Beijing division. If you want to say that you can win a thousand miles on the battlefield, when will Xiao Yunhe be willing to fall behind? !
