Emperor Lingzhou stood at the entrance of Cining Palace for a long time, looking at the mourning hall inside which had not yet been evacuated, so he said to Aunt Li, "I will go in and offer a stick of incense to Zhaohe."
Hearing these words made Nanny Li feel chilly in her heart. Even if the murderer came to pay homage, she would not be afraid of nightmares at night.
"Why, I can't come in?" Emperor Lingzhou said in a deep tone.
Grandma Li immediately bent over and stepped aside.
The situation in the palace was tense. Emperor Lingzhou heard that the Sixth Prince had returned just after he had paid homage, so he hurriedly paid homage and left.
"Father, you have to make the decision for your son..." The sixth prince knelt on the ground, crying so hard.
Emperor Lingzhou looked at the sixth prince with scars on his face and frowned: "Who beat you like this?"
"It's that bitch Jiang Yunxu!"
As soon as he heard the words "Jiang Yunxu", the Lingzhou Emperor's brain ached and he regretted letting this person go in the first place.
The sixth prince recounted the story with added detail: "Father, Jiang Yunxu must have been instructed by Chu Xuanzhi. They actually didn't even pay attention to his father's order. If it weren't for the protection of my son, he would have almost died."
I will take my son’s life.”
"This is unreasonable!" Emperor Lingzhou said angrily: "Chu Xuanzhi really doesn't shy away from it at all. When someone comes, he delivers the order and calls Prince Xuan and his wife back to the capital immediately!"
If they resist and disobey the order, they are plotting rebellion.
The imperial edict was quickly conveyed to Haozhou, but the eunuch who conveyed the edict stood at the door of King Xuan and did not enter.
"King Xuan, the emperor has a decree."
I shouted at the top of my lungs, but no one paid attention, and the door was closed.
At this time, Chu Xuanzhi was practicing kung fu with Brother Tuan, and he didn't even raise his eyebrows when he heard the news.
Brother Tuan was sweating profusely.
Then he said: "Let's take a rest."
Jiang Yunxu on the side took out a handkerchief from his arms to wipe the sweat on Brother Tuan's forehead, handed him the warm water to dry, and poured a cup of tea for Chu Xuanzhi. He wanted to talk about something, so he asked Hong Fei to take the lead.
Brother, go down and change clothes.
When there was no one in the pavilion, Jiang Yunxu said, "What plans does the prince have?"
Chu Xuanzhi did not shy away from telling her what happened in the palace in the past few days. Jiang Yunxu was so shocked that his jaw dropped.
"Now the emperor is not popular among the people, and there are many rumors among the people. Once Showa dies, the queen mother may not turn to him."
The hatred of killing a daughter is irreconcilable, and the Queen Mother will spend her money and she will definitely not spare the Lingzhou Emperor easily.
The Lingzhou Emperor is currently facing internal and external troubles. The Xiangya army is approaching fiercely, and the Lingzhou Emperor has not yet sent a strong general to deal with it.
At this time, Lingzhou was like a plate of loose sand. The morale of the army was unstable and defeat was inevitable.
"When I went back to the person who delivered the order, I told him that I was not at home and had gone to the temple to do some repairs."
Chu Xuanzhi didn't plan to meet anyone, the time hadn't come yet.
"If the emperor had devoted half of his thoughts on dealing with you to war, we wouldn't be in this situation today. But we don't know that water can carry a boat but also capsize it."
I don’t understand such a simple truth.
The father-in-law who delivered the order was so anxious that he was stopped at the door by the guards and could not get in. He stayed up for a whole day and night.
"Please go and send a message to the prince and ask him to come back as soon as possible."
The guard said calmly: "Your Majesty's legs and feet are not good. He went to the temple for ten days and a half to do some repairs and he won't come back. He doesn't like to be disturbed. Please be patient and wait for two days, father-in-law."
In this way, the father-in-law waited in the carriage for three full days and heard no news. Instead, he heard the news that the Xiangya army had broken through a city.
He was so anxious that he almost cried.
The capital once again sent someone to announce the decree, but found that the first one was still waiting, and the other one became anxious: "The emperor has been furious these days, and many people have suffered. If King Xuan does not accept the decree, we will all suffer the same when we return."
Upon hearing this, the father-in-law who declared the decree didn't care much and continued to knock on the door. The butler stood up with a fierce face and said: "What's the noise like? Didn't I tell you that the prince is not in the house and no one can take the decree? We also have to find him."
Not the prince."
If this was in the capital, the two father-in-laws would definitely be arrogant, but now on their territory, even the sixth prince would be beaten when he came, let alone them?
You must keep your tail between your legs and be a human being.
The two of them just spent time in the carriage, day after day.
However, Emperor Lingzhou couldn't wait any longer. The civil and military officials were forcing him, and the people were talking about him behind his back. Even Chu Xuanzhi openly ignored him.
This emperor is really a coward!
"Your Majesty, you must make up your mind as soon as possible. The city is about to be breached again. Tens of thousands of people have been displaced and are heading towards the capital."
"I beg the Emperor to make the decision as soon as possible."
This matter was brought up by all the civil and military officials at court, but Emperor Lingzhou pretended to be deaf and dumb as if he didn't understand. Half of his elite troops were stationed in the capital and the other half at the border. No matter which one was moved,
It will all have an impact on him.
Therefore, the Lingzhou Emperor could only choose to let local officials defend against foreign enemies, while the court was responsible for providing food and grass.
At the same time, 10,000 people were sent from each city to reinforce the army.
"If anyone can't hand over the person, I will punish him severely!" Emperor Lingzhou became angry.
Little did they know that this move made all the officials angry but did not dare to speak out. They harbored resentments in their hearts. Just when everyone was angry, news suddenly came that King Xuan had sent people to support him and guarded the city gate that was about to be breached.
After hearing the news, Emperor Lingzhou couldn't sit still: "Where did Chu Xuanzhi get his soldiers?"
"Back to the Emperor, when King Xuan received the imperial edict and returned to the capital, many of his former subordinates were willing to follow him to the death. Gradually, the number of people increased, reaching a total of thirty or forty thousand people."
When they heard that it was only 30,000 to 40,000 yuan, all the civil and military officials were shocked: "What's the use of such a small number of people? Aren't they going to die?"
