The little princess of space where the concubine often eats

Chapter 98

Ji Lingchen frowned, looking around, the man retreated into the crowd after shouting, covered by dense forest, he disappeared.At this time, except for those who retreated and fled, the armored soldiers were basically dealt with. The imperial army retreated a few feet and set up arrow arrays again.

This kind of tug-of-war lasted for two hours, and the commander of the imperial army finally decided to stop the attack, waiting for the night to fall, and the arrow formation would not be effective.The guards also took the opportunity to rest and eat a little, and the two sides were in a stalemate.

When the line of sight was blocked by the black wings, the killing sound resumed.Sure enough, the defense line of the guard army was not as strong as it was during the day, and they fought and retreated. The guard army was so powerful that it could almost be said to have won an overwhelming victory. People are almost on the run.For the rebels, what they are chasing is gold that can walk, how can they let it go, they are biting those shadows tightly behind, seeing that they have crossed the ridge, and the people chasing at the front suddenly feel empty under their feet, and they are gone before they can react. Falling into a deep ditch, the back hurriedly wanted to stop, but was rushed by the one behind, and rolled down one after another, screaming continuously.After finally calming down, the front was pitch black. I just lit the torches to take a look, but when the light came on, it became a living target for the archers ambushing around. stand still.

As soon as the sky dawned, the commander of the guard army couldn't help but get angry. He saw that although the deep moat was not narrow, it was definitely not wide either. An ordinary strong man could jump over it with a little help, and the real mountain road was in the There is a sharp bend here, but the road is full of branches and weeds. In the dark night, no one finds that the road turns to this side.

So the fierce battle of the day began to repeat itself.The guard army has been mobilized by 3 people this time. It has an overwhelming advantage in strength and can be sent to the battlefield in batches. He was brave and had to retreat section by section, relying on pre-arranged traps and changeable tactics to maintain resistance.

In the early morning of the third day, the guards almost retreated from the edge of the dense forest.However, at this moment, they who were already exhausted suddenly launched a counterattack. The guards were startled, and hurriedly withdrew their troops and retreated temporarily. Unexpectedly, as soon as this side retreated, the other side retreated at an extremely fast speed. They withdrew completely from the dense forest, and the broken group of crossbowmen shot rockets, igniting the fire starters that had been arranged in various places in the forest.The mountain wind was fierce, and it burned into a line of fire in a short time, and gradually spread rapidly.

Beyond the jungle.It is a mountain stream, about five feet wide.There is plenty of water and a natural fire dividing wall, so there is no fear that the fire will be led to a higher hunting palace.

The defender stretched his neck to see the flames in the distance.He smiled adoringly towards Ji Lingchen. "Although it is spring, look at the intensity of the fire. As long as it doesn't rain, it can burn for a day and two nights. Unfortunately, this is the royal garden. It has always been cleaned up. There are no accumulated leaves. It can't set the whole forest on fire. It is enough to burn off the places where you can go. However, even if the group of rebels retreated quickly, they were not burned into black charcoal, and the ready-made roads are gone. There are steep slopes in the north and south, and rolling two raging logs can kill a lot of people. , the east side is connected to the main mountain, they can only wait for the fire to be smaller or climb around here, it is estimated that when they climb to the stream, it will be tomorrow night."

"I'm afraid that the second brother will not come back tomorrow..." Ji Lingchen said lightly, "The guards are too tired, and the guards still have at least [-] combat strength. It is impossible to continue the dense forest battle. Sentinels, everyone, hurry up and rest."

"The lieutenant general is already arranging for a rest," the commander said, returning to the main hall with Ji Lingchen.

"Has the reinforcements from the imperial capital arrived yet?" Hearing the shouts of killing outside, the emperor in the bedroom murmured, not sure if he was asking someone or talking to himself.

In fact, at this time, he already understood that even though the one he sent to move troops to the imperial capital was his most trusted personal guard, and even though he had received a reply from the guards that he had successfully sneaked out of the encirclement, the reinforcements he was expecting would still not come. Coming from the west.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, Ah Feng will come back in time." Concubine Xian comforted softly, holding the trembling hand of the old emperor.For fear of becoming a target, only a few dim lamps were lit in the room, and the dim light made the faces of the people in the palace look ashen as ever.The minister who was the most timid by nature couldn't help curling up into a ball, and said in a trembling voice: "If they attack us, do they really dare to ... do something to us?"

"Shut up!" The emperor shouted angrily, trying his best to maintain his imperial demeanor, not wanting to show timidity in front of others, "How could this group of rebels attack in? I trust Ah Chen, and I also trust Ah Feng!"

Following the angry reprimand, the room fell silent, which made the shouts of killing from outside even harsher, and the smell of blood became more intense.

About half an hour later, the killing sound outside gradually subsided, and the morning light had already illuminated the room.Followed by Concubine Xian gently blowing out the flickering candles.The bloody and terrifying night finally passed.

Ji Lingchen was worried about the situation in the capital. Although Pei Zihua and Qin Ming were specially left to protect everyone, he was still worried. However, when he remembered that An An, Nuomi, and Tuanzi were all in the space, how much did he feel? Still a little comforting.

At this time, there were orderly and steady footsteps outside the bedroom, as if they were re-arming.Immediately afterwards, King Zhao's voice sounded clearly: "I have finished suppressing the rebellion by order, please see Your Majesty!"

"Quick, open the door," the emperor hurriedly called to the steward beside him, "let Ah Feng come in."

Before Mr. Liu could move, several civil servants who were closer to the gate of the palace rushed over and unbolted the gate to open it.King Zhao strode forward, although he was full of energy.However, his temple hair was still disheveled, his face was covered with dust, and his azure shirt was splattered with blood.His saber had been carefully untied before entering the palace.The first action after lifting up his clothes and bowing down was to hand up the soldier talisman in his hand: "My minister has been ordered to escort you. I am here to return the soldier talisman!"

"Okay, okay." The emperor himself came down to support him, holding the military talisman with one hand.Rubbing his hair with one hand, he tremblingly said, "Thank you for your hard work, but is there any injury?"

"A little injury, it's okay."

"Before you return to Beijing, you will still be able to deploy the barracks at will. The rebels who made the rebellion this time must be hunted down with all their strength and will not be tolerated!"

"My son leads the order."

"Come, come, sit down and rest for a while, you must be traveling day and night these few days?" The emperor held King Zhao's hand, brought him to sit beside him, and said to the concubine Xian, "Get it for your son quickly." He must be starving."

"The guards came late, which frightened the father, the queen, the mother and the concubine." Zhao Wang clasped his fists and said, "There are still many aftermaths outside. Not everyone fled into the bedroom last night. The clan and all the ministers died, and the guards fought hard. In the past five days, the damage has been extremely severe, and I have to help Achen take care of it. After everything is arranged, I will come to pay my respects to my father, mother and concubine."

"Yes," the emperor couldn't help feeling sad when he heard the words, "I will take care of the people who were killed this time, as well as these loyal soldiers who escorted them. It's up to you."

King Zhao got up and bowed again, and quickly withdrew.Immediately, Concubine Xian dismissed the other people in the palace and asked them to go back to deal with their own affairs.

After the major events were settled, Ji Lingchen had no time to change clothes.Then he followed the second brother to the sleeping hall again to report to the emperor.The emperor's emotions have calmed down now, and what flashes in his eyes is no longer surprise and relief, but ruthlessness.

"Afeng, Achen, over there in the imperial capital. What do you think should be done?"

King Zhao glanced at King Jing and motioned him to speak first.Ji Lingchen immediately clasped his fists and said, "The emperor has seven thousand imperial guards left behind. I don't believe that they will betray His Majesty. They are definitely controlled by others. As long as I go in person, I will definitely be able to bring them back for Your Majesty!"

"I think so too." The emperor said coldly with a gloomy face, "Ah Chen, you rest for one night, and tomorrow you will bring ten thousand soldiers and horses, and set off for the imperial capital to detain the prince and his accomplices. I will deal with it when I return to Luan. Remember. The situation in the imperial capital must be stable. After the overall situation is settled, report it to me immediately. I will wait for your news before returning to Beijing."

"The minister receives the decree." After kowtowing, King Jing got up and was about to go out.But the emperor stopped him again: "What are you in a hurry for? This time, you are not giving an oral order, nor is it a secret order. I will invent an edict for you!"

"Mingzhao?" King Jing was slightly surprised, "But once the Mingzhao is issued, there is no room for change..."

"What else should I change?!" The emperor slapped the dragon's case suddenly, his eyes shot out with anger, "If someone really obeys someone this time, and just stay here like this, then there is no room left! The commanding officer has already I'm drawing up the decree, when I use the seal, you can let go of your hands and feet, those rebellious officials and thieves, do you want me to protect them again?"

King Jing immediately shouted: "The minister accepts the decree!"

At this time, the officer in charge came in with the new decree prepared, and the emperor read it briefly. He personally sealed and sealed it, sealed it, and handed it to King Jing, saying: "If the decree is not fulfilled, I promise you to do it cheaply."

"The minister will live up to His Majesty's entrustment!"

"Okay, step back." The emperor let out a sigh of relief, beckoned King Zhao to his side, and said, "Ah Feng, you have made great achievements in saving your family this time, what reward do you want?"

King Zhao sneered slightly, and said: "The chaos is not over yet, and the holy car has not yet returned to Luan. At this time, even if the father wants to reward him, the sons and officials dare not accept it. If there are gold and silk items in stock in the hunting palace, you might as well take them first." Come out and reward the soldiers."

The emperor looked up to the sky and laughed, and said: "You, this is the same as your mother, she also said so. Well, you send someone to classify the albums, first reward one batch, and then reward another big reward when you return to the imperial capital."

"My son obeys the decree." As soon as King Zhao finished his ceremony, Concubine Xian came in from the side hall with a few maids holding dinner plates, and smiled and invited father and son to come over for dinner.This meal was very pleasant, and the emperor frequently served King Zhao with vegetables, with indescribable joy and love in his eyes.

After dinner, the emperor went to rest under the service of the concubine Xian, and King Zhao naturally resigned.

The return trip from the spring hunting, which was originally scheduled for [-] days later, was postponed to half a month due to the rebellion of the rebels.There were only a few hundred of the [-] guards who escorted them when they came, and a few less fortunate clansmen and courtiers who accompanied them died in that last bloody night.In the emperor's lifetime, he had experienced two rebellions of this magnitude, the first time he was the attacker, and this time he was the target of others.He was the winner of both times, the first time he won the throne, but the second time even he himself couldn't tell what he won.

On the second day after the emperor returned to Luan, the whole family of the prince became prisoners in the cell of the clan mansion, and the prince was given a glass of poisoned wine. The royal family has been like this since ancient times, even if that person is a child of his own flesh and blood.

On June [-], the East Palace was re-established, and the crown prince's coronation ceremony was held.In the early morning, the flags and flags in the palace were fierce, and the guards of honor were dense.All the officials gathered in the main hall of Fengtian. King Zhao wore the crown prince's crown and was led by the ceremonial officer to enter Danbu.After the treasure book officer read out the imperial edict for the establishment of the prince, the emperor handed the crown prince's seal ribbon to the Zhongshuling, and the Zhongshuling lowered it to the new prince.

After the court ceremony, the new crown prince took his seat, accepted the congratulations from all the officials, and then entered the inner palace to meet the noble concubine.In the afternoon, the emperor and the prince came to the Taimiao to pay homage to the ancestors and receive greetings from the people along the way. The scene was very spectacular.

King Zhao is a very heroic young man. Due to his hard work, he has a long body and a handsome figure. His temperament is different from that of the former prince who was a little bit shady.Whenever he wears court clothes, he feels completely different from casual clothes or military clothes. It seems that the nobleness accumulated inside and the long-suppressed majesty burst out, which makes people awe-inspiring.

At the end of the canonization ceremony, the emperor announced the amnesty of the world, and the new prince walked down the Fengtian Tower with the support of the new crown prince.Maybe he doesn't really feel it yet, but in the eyes of others, the future emperor's eyes are radiant and his figure is tall and straight, while the old emperor's hairline is gray, his body is trembling and stooped, and he is lifeless. Secretly sighed, and even speculated disrespectfully when the new dynasty would come.

Perhaps due to the exhaustion of the whole day's coronation ceremony, on the second day after the crown prince was appointed, the emperor ordered him to be exempted from court for ten days due to illness, and entered the East Palace in advance as soon as he was in charge, and the crown prince supervised the country.

So far, King Zhao's line has become the only winner in the court.

The first thing Ji Lingchen did when he returned to the capital was to go back and see if anything happened to Qin Anan and the others. As soon as he got home, he saw Qin Anan sitting in the main hall, his second sister-in-law, Yunhua, Liang Xiaoer, and a bunch of little kids next to him. I finally let go of my heart.

After bringing their wives home, Ji Lingchen, Pei Zihua, and Qin Mingcai came to the study room again. After cleaning up the mastermind, now is the time to clean up the remaining elements.

Pei Zihua was still shaking his fan coquettishly, and said to Ji Lingchen impolitely: "Ah Chen, you have to think about it, if they want to move now, it's not just for fun, all the previous things have to be revealed The matter, the emperor is in a panic state right now, are you sure you can arrange it smoothly? The person who is the most suspicious, now that he makes such a move, it is hard to guarantee that he will not turn his face and suspect us."

"Cut the grass without eradicating the roots and the spring breeze blows again. This matter has been delayed for so long, and it can't be delayed any longer. What's more, what if he doubts now? Can he find a more suitable person to be the prince now?" Ji Lingchen looked like a fool He looked at Pei Zihua.

The despised Pei Zihua: ...

Qin Ming thought more, "My lord, isn't that Yu Mingcheng yours?"

Pei Zihua managed to recover from the blow, looked at Qin Ming who was as stupid as himself, and waited for a joke.
