"In the future, when Emperor Guanghe takes control of Luojing, he must first win over the Qi family, which resists foreigners. No one will scold the Qi family for changing their political integrity. In order to bring down the country, the imperial court launched a northern expedition, which triggered a riot in South Vietnam and the invasion of Tibet from the south. We are all sinners. , only the Qi family, only the eldest princess, is fighting for the people, fighting for the race, and fighting for the homeland."

"The Taishi in the history museum will write that the Qi family is just for the public."

"Later generations will judge the Qi family as shining through the ages."

"If Emperor Guanghe was a wise king and a holy master, the Qi family would still be considered by later generations as the main contributors to the unification of the north and the south."

"And we will be infamy for eternity."

……

In early April, the Jiang Dynasty army captured Yongning County in Luojing.

The most famous General Bai was beheaded by Emperor Guanghe and hung on the tower of Yongning County.

Emperor Guanghe calls to the world!

This man, Zhongshan Lang, was famous for his reputation. When he was alive, he was respected as a veteran by Emperor Nanxing. He had great trust in him and treated him with great courtesy. His merits were not as good as those of a general. He was also named a Taibao, achieving the highest honor of a military attache. His status was equal to that of a general, and even He was also ordered to teach the eldest princess how to ride and shoot.

However, this person harbors evil intentions and does not think about the great kindness of the emperor. Instead, he helps Zhou to commit evil, colludes with the Jiang thieves, helps the Jiang thieves to persecute the late emperor, usurp the throne, cleverly seize the destiny, and commit treasonous and unethical acts. This person is unfaithful, unjust, unkind and unbelievable. , which is a shame to the generals of the world.

I thought that he and the eldest princess had the merit of teaching, so I left his body intact and only killed the thief's head, hoping that you would take this thief as a warning.

When the news reached the capital, Jiang Lingrong was panicked and quickly summoned the ministers who continued to support him to discuss countermeasures.

The group discussed for a night and decided to retreat to Chuzhou, firmly control Xiangyang, and re-establish the Southern Dynasty regime.

Chuzhou is surrounded by mountains to the east, west and north, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. The central part is the Jianghan Plain, a land of plenty. Xiangyang has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. It is located in a dangerous position. If you retreat to Xiangyang, you can control the Yangtze River area and form an offensive against the north. Jiang Dynasty ordered Jiang Dynasty to stop its southern invasion and preserve the two lakes area.

After "Chasing Jiang Lingrong's Appointment" spread, Jiang Lingrong was completely disheartened. Many of the courtiers who opposed him were killed by Jiang Lingrong. There were also many courtiers who cherished their lives but did not want to be with Jiang Lingrong and others. They excused themselves from going to court because of illness.

The imperial court existed in name only.

Nowadays, those who are still willing to follow Jiang Lingrong are still the same group of people who supported Jiang Lingrong to usurp the throne.

When Emperor Guanghe takes control of Luojing, the first people to be cleaned up are these ministers who are the "direct descendants of the emperor".

They have no way out.

Jiang Lingrong packed up a large amount of gold and silver treasures, led people along the mountain road in the palace, and fled to the palace in panic, intending to escape from Luojing through the secret passage of the palace.

Emperor Nan Xiao was the legitimate son of Empress Xian. Before her death, Empress Xian told him many secrets in the palace, including the secret underground passages of the palace. At first, he also relied on the secret underground passages of the palace, so he kept silent. The ground plotted against the eldest princess.

These secrets were passed down orally from emperors and empresses through the generations, and only recognized kings were qualified to know them.

Emperor Nanxing didn't know about it.

Jiang Lingrong and his party left the palace late at night and did not arrive at the palace until dawn. As soon as they took a breath, a spy reported: "Your Majesty, it's bad. Jiang Jun came from nowhere and surrounded the palace."

Jiang Lingrong's eyes suddenly widened before he could react. The cold wind blew by, and the Jiang Dynasty army wearing black armor poured out from all directions from all the entrances and exits of the palace like a tide, surrounding the huge square of the palace.

On the ridge of the wall, there were layers of archers wearing light armor, with sharp three-pronged arrows aimed at them.

Emperor Guanghe, who was wearing a black shirt, stepped out from the crowd of soldiers, reined in his horse and stopped. Among the thousands of troops, he stood up with a horizontal sword in his hand and looked down at the crowd with bloodshot eyes. There was cold murderous intent in his eyes.

A suffocating pressure spread.

Jiang Lingrong's face turned pale: "How is this possible? The news of the destruction of Yongning County has just reached the capital. How come you are here? And you are still leading the army to ambush the palace quietly without alerting anyone?" !”

Emperor Guanghe looked at Jiang Lingrong, his eyes like daggers.

On the day of the palace coup, Jiang Fuguang witnessed with her own eyes that the general was pierced by thousands of arrows. She knelt in the snow and cried her tears.

Such a delicate woman was humiliated by Jiang Lingrong, put on shackles weighing more than thirty kilograms, and walked in the deep snowy palace. The cold iron was like a knife, scraping the flesh and blood between her ankle bones inch by inch, leaving an indelible mark. ugly mark.

That day, he sneaked into the eldest princess's mansion and spent a night with her, seeing the uneven dark scars on her legs.

She hid, not letting him see.

He was so heartbroken that he didn't dare to look at it, let alone touch it. He even pretended that nothing happened and didn't even mention it.

But he knew that the frozen cold iron was like a red-hot iron. When it was branded on the skin, it would cause excruciating burning pain, and the burnt wound would be difficult to heal.

Yu Hengzi said that the eldest princess’s legs were almost permanently disabled.

Jiang Lingrong's face was full of disbelief, and he shouted excitedly: "There must be a mole, who, who betrayed me..."

Such a large number of people came to Beijing, and no one in the whole court knew about it? Someone must have concealed the battle report, who can do this in the world...

Princess!

"It's the eldest princess," Jiang Lingrong yelled, "it was the eldest princess who informed you that I was going to take the palace, abandoned the capital and fled south, and led my troops to set an ambush in the palace. It was the eldest princess who covered up Jiang Jun's whereabouts. , you can quietly lead the troops to ambush in the palace."

Prime Minister Gu and his party were a little surprised and confused.

Jiang Lingrong was a little out of control. He pointed at Emperor Guanghe and said, "I should have thought of it earlier. When you were a hostage in the Southern Dynasty, you had a good relationship with the eldest princess. On the Flower Appreciation Festival, you competed with Crown Prince Dongfang everywhere. I felt that Something is wrong. I noticed that the look you were looking at the eldest princess was full of possessiveness. It didn’t look like what a lowly proton should look like. I thought I had seen it wrong..."

The civil and military ministers beside Jiang Lingrong were full of horror.

Did Emperor Guanghe conquer the Southern Dynasties for the sake of the eldest princess?

Ji Ruxuan neither admitted nor denied: "Jiang Lingrong, you are a traitor and a traitor. There are many people who oppose you in this world." He raised his hand and pointed the long knife in his hand at Gu Xiang. He was the first in the entire Southern Dynasty to switch sides and join Da Jiang's family."

Jiang Lingrong subconsciously turned his head and looked at Gu Xiang.

Prime Minister Gu slowly lowered his head.

Ji Ruxuan chuckled: "Not only did the Gu family vote for Dajiang themselves, but they also persuaded more than a dozen famous families in the Southern Dynasties to vote for Dajiang. In order to preserve the family's century-old legacy, they spent most of the family's wealth accumulated over generations. , knelt at my feet, and told me categorically that I did not dare to deceive Your Majesty."
