37 A lonely city is difficult to defend, and it is difficult to peace
Sima Hao walked away cleanly overnight, and even the servants and concubines in his mansion followed, and Chang'an City suddenly became deserted and weird.
Of course, before this, most of the people of Chang'an had already left, and the rest were just ordinary people who had nowhere to go.
When they heard the change, they didn't dare to go out, so every house closed the door panels, nailed the windows, and prepared the grain stockpile, intending to wait for Sima Yue's army to enter the city and then wait and see.
"No matter who wins the world, we always have to work and eat, right?" There were disgruntled people who complained and watched the situation outside through the cracks in the gate in their yards. This is the only way between Weiyang Palace and the city gate, and if someone passes by, it must be able to see.
"I heard that the emperor is now sitting in Weiyang Palace." His younger brother also came over.
"What's the use of that? It's obvious that he's given up. The father of the two men also came and lightly added an arm-thick beam to the door panel.
"Dad, what is this for?" Young people don't understand.
"Haven't you heard? Zhang Fang, Sima Hao's general before, ransacked the entire Luoyang, who knows if this Sima Yue will be like this? Although our house is not big, it is very dangerous in this position. ”
"It's not like that, people are also big robbers." My brother leaned on the crack in the door and looked at it again, "It's been ten days, and no one has come in, I don't know what I'm doing?" ”
"I saw that the little cow next door was still sending some chickens and ducks to the palace to eat......" Before the words fell, there was a sudden commotion on the street, and it seemed that the forbidden army of Weiyang Palace quickly gathered at the city gate, looking nervous, looking very unusual.
Although the whole picture cannot be seen from this angle, there is no sound of Jin Ge Iron Horse tearing and shouting, but it is like the sound of some people riding into the city in a carriage. Sure enough, after a while, four or five carriages slowly came in from the city gate, and the horses' hooves made a sound on the bluestone pavement.
There is a forbidden army in front of the carriage to open the road, and there is also a forbidden army behind the back, and the cards given are full.
Looking through the crack in the door, the regulations of this carriage are quite high, and it should be a special carriage for royal ladies.
At this juncture, how could a woman enter Chang'an City?
Not only was the family speculating, but even Yuan Jianshuo, who rushed over to check the situation, was stunned, he didn't understand why Ji Feiyan appeared here at this time.
Ji Feiyan, Ji Shao's only daughter.
One of the best nobles in Luoyang City, she was also a popular candidate for the queen back then. But she refused to marry the foolish emperor, and even wanted to be Sima Lun's concubine. Later, after knowing that Sima Ying did not reject his wife, a heart was placed on him.
Speaking of which, she can be regarded as having an extremely bumpy marriage, and after a few tosses, she actually made Sima Yue a concubine. However, not long after getting married, he gave birth to a son, who was very loved by Sima Yue, and even thought that it was Ji Feiyan and his son Wang himself, and he even held the mother and son in the palm of his hand and pampered him, and he wanted to straighten Ji Feiyan and become the princess of the main family.
The woman who has given birth to a child has a plump body and a full face, and she seems to have lived a very nourishing life. Her chariot is also of high specification, second only to the princess. When I saw her again after four years, Yuan Jianshuo had to stand respectfully under the car and salute her.
Ji Feiyan had already faded away from the girl's shyness, looked at Yuan Jianshuo and said: "The prince is still in Xingyang, and the general Qi Hong has come over, but he will not enter the city without the prince's order." I feel like I haven't seen Sister Rong'er and Queen Mother for a long time, and I always miss it. I just thought I'd just come over and take a look, Commander Yuan would always let me in, right? ”
They are all very familiar, at least they talked and laughed in the Luoyang Palace back then. He still remembered Ji Feiyan's affectionate eyes when he looked at Sima Ying, if there was no such complicated dispute, would she be Sima Ying's princess, and there would be nothing to do with that annoying Concubine Le?
After all, his impression of Ji Feiyan back then was still very good. And her father Ji Shao died to protect the emperor, he was a loyal minister of the Great Jin Dynasty, and he had a beautiful burial.
But, these days, it seems that everything has changed.
To each his own master, to each his own business.
I didn't expect to meet in this way today, Rao is a tough guy general like Yuan Jianshuo, and he has a different taste in his heart.
He grabbed the hilt of the sword at his waist before saying, "Princess Fang, the current situation is very chaotic, and it is not appropriate for you to come at this time." ”
"Hey, what's the right fit. Isn't that good in Chang'an? Ji Feiyan didn't get out of the car, but just lifted the curtain and looked at Yuan Jianshuo, "It's just me to say a few words to the queen today, so don't stop you." ”
Behind Ji Feiyan is Sima Yue, who now has a great advantage in the victor, even if he is not happy, Yuan Jianshuo still has to let him go. What's more, listening to her tone, it seems that she still wants to say a few whispers to Yang Xianrong, maybe it is about the emperor's future arrangements?
At such a sensitive moment, he didn't dare to slack off, so he still stood up straight and said, "I still need to ask the emperor and queen for my humble position." ”
"Okay, I'll wait at the gate of Weiyang Palace with you. It's too ostentatious here. Ji Feiyan lowered the curtain of the carriage, and let the palace people around him drive the carriage forward without saying anything, with a strong posture.
Yuan Jianshuo had no choice but to follow while asking people to quickly report to the sheep and make her prepared.
The deserted Chang'an City, because of the appearance of this carriage, has a vague sense of tension and weirdness. Behind every window and door panel was a prying eye, and no one knew Ji Feiyan's intentions.
However, perhaps it is to use the friendship between women to persuade the emperor Sima Cheng to give up the throne?
Not only Yuan Jianshuo thought so, Zhang Heng and He Jiunian, who were standing at the gate of Weiyang Palace, watched Ji Feiyan's carriage come in with a straight face. They are not familiar with Ji Feiyan, but they admire Ji Shao's Savior's behavior very much, and they will have some respect for her.
Yang Xianrong is packing up the soft things with Cui Xi Lanxiang, counting everything and recording it in the book, so that it is easy to find it in the future. Sima Hao didn't say anything after abandoning the city, and the emperor didn't have any ideas. In the end, she discussed with Zhang Du that she should be ready to leave at any time, no matter where she goes, Chang'an is not a place to stay for a long time.
Zhang Du was packing up all the emperor's belongings, as well as some of the gold, silver and jewelry that had been transported from the Luoyang Palace before.
Because of the death of the eldest imperial sister, Emperor Sima Zhen has been in a very bad mood, hiding in the dormitory and not coming out. Yang Xianrong asked his beauties and concubines to come over to see him, and also ate with him, softly and darkly, which can always soothe his emotions.
However, it seemed that Sima Cheng was becoming more and more unhappy, and sat in the dormitory in a daze looking at the faint green smoke in the incense burner.
