Chapter 163: Only to defend the city gate

When Su Jingyan heard the people's words, she couldn't help but sneer: "Do you really think that Xiao Ting's thief who entered Chang'an City have a good life? It's ridiculous!"

A brave people in the crowd said, "The Regent is dedicated to serving the people and His Majesty. Unfortunately, your Majesty believes in your family, Su family, and you have been instigated to attack the Regent!"

Su Jingyan shouted: "Your Majesty attacks the Regent? Your Majesty has always respected the Regent. Even if the woman in the yard of the Regent committed a serious crime of ordering the two county princesses to have aborted, Your Majesty would be careless of the Regent for military merits in Xiliang!

Today, Xiao Ting wanted to seize the throne of 95 and used the Su family as an excuse to rebel. Your Majesty has never treated the Regent badly, nor has he ever wanted to take action against the Regent.

If the Regent had been devoted to His Majesty's sake and His Majesty went out of the city to fight yesterday, how could Xiao Ting dare to attack His Majesty?

What's more, the Regent's concubine He Zhimin already has ironclad evidence that the Regent's rebellion is planned.

If you have been to Luoyang, you will know that from Longxi City to Luoyang, you will be closer to Luoyang. Why did Xiao Ting know that the imperial army is in Chang'an, but he still didn't attack Yongcheng?

That's because Xiao Ting's military rations are almost gone, Chang'an is much richer than Yongcheng. If the regent's soldiers attacked Chang'an, you people will have the first time to live a bad life!"

When the people below heard Su Jingyan say this, they all disbelief. Several singers wearing bright clothes said:

"Isn't the Queen said this because your Su family is greedy for life and fear of death? Isn't it willing to give up the current glory and wealth? As long as you are willing to return the power to Your Majesty, the Regent will definitely not cause trouble again. The Regent is the best person."

"Yes, if we were not the Regent, we would not have lived now. We are from Yuncheng. In the past three years of fighting in Xiliang, Yuncheng can be said to be a waste of life. Fortunately, the Regent defeated Xiliang! Only then can we have a stable life!"

"Yes, if the Regent could conquer Xiliang as soon as possible, my sister would not have starved to death. Thanks to the Regent, Xiliang has been eliminated now, and there will never be anyone starving to death in Yuncheng."

Su Jingyan looked at the women, indeed, they looked a little bit like Yuncheng. She said coldly: "Do you know why Yuncheng has no food in recent years and why people starve to death?

It was because Xiao Ting incorporated the young and middle-aged people in Yuncheng into the army, and no one was farming. The court repeatedly ordered the border grain planting, but Xiao Ting still ignored the will and recruited a large number of soldiers. He used the excuse of fighting Xiliang as an excuse, so we couldn't stop him.

Now it is obvious that he wants so many soldiers to seek rebellion. Since Xiao Ting started a rebellion, he has purchased food in Yuncheng Shacheng and refused to take the people seriously.

However, the court exempted the agricultural tax during the war, in order to stabilize the country and not starve to death. Some people in Yuncheng were starved to death. That was Xiao Ting's fault!

Besides, if Your Majesty is really deceived by my Su family, shouldn’t my Su family protect Your Majesty and cannot escape? If the Su family threatens the emperor to order the princes, wouldn’t it be enough to ensure Your Majesty’s safety?

But His Majesty came to Chang'an in person because the Su family had no idea of ​​taking over the power of the court!"

Su Jingyan looked around everyone and continued, "You said that the Su family was greedy for power, fearing death, and they didn't think about it. If this was the case, our Su family would not send two young masters to the battlefield. If this is the case, I would not be here today if I am greedy for life, fearing death!

Your Majesty is thinking that the people of Chang'an are in personal expedition regardless of danger. This shows your Majesty's bravery. But do you still think that he was deceived by the Su family because of his young age?

Your Majesty can flee south and continue to eat and drink delicious food, but he never thought of giving up any of his people.

The same is true for me. If I am really greedy for power, I can play with my newborn daughter in Luoyang City today.

Today, Japan is here to advise you to join the court in Chang'an City. If you don't believe in this palace, the gate of Chang'an City is there, those who want to leave today, those who want to surrender to Xiao Ting can leave Chang'an!"

Su Jingyan doesn't want to protect these foolish people.

A few older people came out and said, "Empress, don't be angry with these young people. These young people don't remember that Yuncheng has been safe for so many years, because Duke Xuan attacked Xiliang when he was young!

If it weren't for the foundation laid by Duke Xuan, how could the Regent conquer Xiliang so easily?"

"The officials under the Su family are all good officials who do practical things for the people, and many of them are scholars and students born in poor families. If the Su family is not kind, the people will be in trouble long ago!"

Seeing more and more people talking to the Su family, Su Jingyan couldn't help but feel moved: "Those who said that the Regent raised their troops to deal with the Su family might as well think about it.

If your nephew married a wife, and you don’t like his wife’s family, what would you do if his wife thought his wife would rob her nephew’s family business?

Should I help protect the home business, or should I find a servant to beat my nephew's house and force my nephew to divorce my wife? Where is the world like this for my nephew's goodness?

Xiao Ting's ambition to ascend the throne was written on his face. If he had the people in his heart, he would not have caused trouble that the people in Yuncheng Shacheng had no food to eat. Four years ago, Yuncheng was under the management of the court, but he was rich and prosperous in Chang'an.

You might as well think about it, should you want Chang'an to become Yunchengsha City again, or do your best to protect Chang'an's prosperity with the court?"

The older people have knelt down at Su Jingyan and are willing to stay with each other.

There are also young people who are hesitating, but many people are no longer as trusted as Xiao Ting as they did just now.

...

Xiao Ting suffered a defeat yesterday and was so angry that he never thought that the Beishan Army, which the little emperor had only been practicing for half a year, would be so powerful.

Yesterday he underestimated the enemy.

Xiao Ting, who had not been sleeping all night, had red eyes and reviewed the defeat of last night.

Yuwen Zhou walked up to Xiao Ting and said, "Prince, we must attack Chang'an City in one go. Now there is not much food. The number of defenders in Chang'an City is less than half of our army. We must attack as soon as possible."

Xiao Ting's eyes were covered with red bloodshots and said, "We want to attack as soon as possible. People come and order them to continue to attack the city at night!"

In Chang'an City, Su Jingyan lobbled for a whole day and her throat was almost dry and angry. She really didn't know that Xiao Ting's people's hearts in the northwest were so high.

As soon as he returned to the palace, he heard the sound of trumpets. Su Jingyan climbed up to the palace wall to see, and saw arrow feathers with fire crossing the night sky and entering Chang'an City.

The sound of gongs and horns constantly beating in the city was originally a surprise attack from various city gates.

Su Jingyan saw the Zhuque Gate in the northeast, where the troops there were the weakest.

He also went to the gate of Zhuque City with Yan Junwan's female army on standby. By the time the female army arrived, the rebel soldiers had already climbed to the city wall!

Yan Junwan attacked and ordered people to defend the city gate.

Su Jingyan saw the rebels coming like a wave and frowned, and changed into clothes with the maids such as Yingchun. He guarded the city gate. A rebel entered the city, and she used a bow and arrow to kill a rebel.

Only then did Su Jingyan know why Xiao Yi would feel so uncomfortable after killing the rebels, but she had no choice but to fight to the death.

As long as you survive ten days, Xiao Ting's soldiers will definitely have no food!

Yan Junwan saw the former comrades dying in front of her and said to Su Jingyan: "Empress, there are too many people who cannot be defended by the female army here."

Su Jing said, "Which city gate is not many? Now we can only defend hard and defend to the death!

Dear sisters, if I can win today, I will definitely commend you all the sisters in the future!

I would rather die than guard the Zhuque City Gate tonight, so that the world can know that our women's army is not just a joke, not as good as a man!"
