Magistrate Liu and his men received the food at the gate of the city. Not long after, the hidden guards came up to report that King Jin and Xu Yihuan had recovered the army.

Xu Yihuan received another message from Magistrate Liu. They had prepared food and military pay. As long as the soldiers who won the battle would get their military pay, the dead soldiers would also receive pensions.

And now the soldiers who follow them into the city can not only get the above two items, but also get food.

These soldiers all knew that the little food they had returned from Xiaocheng had been eaten up by the time they arrived in Gyeonggi, but even so, His Majesty and the Ministry of War turned a blind eye.

They are disheartened. They give them military pay when they are using people, and despise them when they are not using them.

Although the King of Jin had handed over military power when he was in Xiaocheng, he still planned food rations for them along the way. This kindness was engraved in the hearts of the soldiers.

But now, the King of Jin has Marshal Xue's tiger talisman and gives them food again. The most important thing is that the King of Jin personally inherits it and will give them military pay after this battle. Although they only paid this month's military pay, they are still very happy. happy.

In the past few months, King Jin was the only one who put military pay in his mouth.

Therefore, when the soldiers heard that the King of Jin was dispatching troops to fight in the city, they agreed without thinking.

Xu Yihuan did not expect this step to be so smooth.

The two were so excited that they set out from outside the city with their soldiers to enter the city, but were stopped by the soldiers defending the city.

Xu Yihuan paid no attention to these city guards. He rushed up to the city wall with two hidden guards and opened the city gate.

The patrol battalion on the city was controlled by the soldiers before they could react.

Therefore, the 80,000-strong army entered the city very smoothly.

Magistrate Liu took the food and found an open place at the gate of the city to distribute food to the soldiers.

King Jin and Xu Yihuan were not vicious and inconsiderate people. They planned to let the soldiers have enough to eat at first.

Magistrate Liu was kind-hearted. When he thought of the dead soldiers leading people to kill for a day and a night, he ordered pancakes to be prepared and sent to Xie's family and the dead soldiers in both directions.

King Jin only has a limited number of people in the capital this time, but Xu Yihuan likes to recruit talents.

As soon as he entered the military camp, he handed over the army's logistics to his staff and managers, and handed over the command of military training to Yeshang, while she was focused on studying what to do after capturing the important territory of Gyeonggi Province?

And Concubine Tao, she hasn't figured out yet that Ye Shang is rebelling with her at this moment, isn't he worried?

By the time Xu Yihuan saw Magistrate Liu again, the food for the 80,000-strong army had been prepared in batches.

In the city, many officials knew that they had experienced a killing last night. After the "ping-pong" sound of weapons stopped, many people excluded the guards and went to the streets to find out the news.

The experience they have gained over the years tells them that their Majesty and the Queen are looking for someone to cause trouble again.

When the courtiers thought that Prince Jin was back today, they targeted the Jin Prince's Mansion.

People on the two roads, Xie Mansion and Xu Mansion, were even more surprised when they heard the sound of fighting again.

Many people began to suspect that the Xie family and His Majesty were defeated, and the fighting around the Xu Mansion stopped in the early morning. At this moment, the people around the Xu Mansion felt most relieved, so they sent out more guard boys than other families. .

As soon as they saw the corpses that had not yet been cleared around the Xu Mansion, they felt chilled in their hearts.

When did such a big fight happen in Taifu Xu's house?

After hearing the reports from the servants and guards, many people began to wonder whether Taifu Xu had been defeated. Following the direction of the corpse, they followed the traces and discovered that the trail of the assassin's death stretched from Prince Jin's Mansion to Xu Mansion. Only then did people confirm that Xu Mansion had been defeated.

And around Xie's Mansion, after the dead soldiers received the supplies sent by Magistrate Liu, they were greatly surprised and immediately switched to two defenses taking turns to supply supplies.

But the Xie family was not so lucky. They blocked the door and didn't know what the dead soldiers were doing to change their defenses?

All they knew was that half of the dead soldiers were suddenly reduced, and they thought they had withdrawn. When both groups of dead soldiers came back after eating, the Xie family realized that they had gone to rest.

The dead soldiers were very grateful. They killed prisoners in the arena, but they didn't eat for several days.

Faced with the kindness of King Jin, the dead soldiers worked harder and harder after eating.

The Xie family looked at the dead soldier who stared at them awkwardly after eating, like a vicious wolf staring at its prey. Their hearts grew cold, and even Xie Ling, the head of the family, began to feel scared.

Xie Ling called Xie Kui again and said, "Prepare the fire."

When Xie Kui heard this, he felt a chill in his heart. When did the Xie family fall to the point where they needed to prepare fire?

There are so many elites behind him, does my father not want them?

But he didn't ask. He turned around and entered Xie's house with a sad face. In less than half an hour, he selected a dozen children around ten years old.

"Ready, where will father be sent?" Xie Kui looked worried. He also regretted that he should not have deceived the three princes, but he still put his hope in his aunt.

But he didn't know that His Majesty and the Queen were unable to protect themselves. Another man in black had entered the palace to report to him that the attack of the dead soldiers had become more fierce. There were not many of them left and they asked for support.

But the emperor and empress had already given away their military power and money, so there was nothing left to support them.

His Majesty faced the biggest obstacle after seizing power and ascending the throne. He had no one to use and no money to use.

He was indignant and turned his anger on the queen.

"It's all you, the good son you raised"

His anger had not subsided since the man in black came in, and the queen's face became more and more ugly with her majesty's anger.

This was the first time in so many years that she had such a big disagreement with His Majesty, and it was because her three sons embezzled four million taels of silver from the treasury.

When her Xie family helped His Majesty ascend the throne, the Xie family spent more than this.

In just a moment, the queen suddenly came to her senses. Perhaps what she had gained from sharing the same bed for more than ten years was not a sincere heart and soul and sharing the joys and sorrows, but disgust and contempt.

"Your Majesty, are you blaming me for not helping you?"

But His Majesty could no longer sit still. The dream he had once imagined of establishing layers of exploitation to ensure his wealth, prosperity, power, and wealth might all come to naught overnight, and he suffered a heart attack.

When he and Wei Emperor seized power, all kinds of worries and fears suddenly came to life after encountering this incident.

He glanced coldly at the empress who was kneeling below with a heart filled with despair, and said coldly: "Isn't it true? Over the years, you Xie family and I have given you enough favor and honor. No one in the civil and military dynasties can rival the Xie family, but... Four million taels of silver, and he actually calculated that his own family was being blamed. What a fool.

He wanted to curse, but he felt that after cursing, he was scolding himself even more. The Xie family is stupid, so what is he? An emperor who was brought to power by a fool?

The queen looked desperate. She also hated him. She hated his brother and nephew, who ignored the love of brotherhood and the righteousness of brothers.
