Chapter eight hundred and forty fifth: self-defeating
On April 21, 18th year of Xuanjia, Murong Yan, the ninth prince of Yan State, carried out a month-long purge on Wei State, killing the powerful and benefiting the people. He cut off the royal family of Wei State, and implemented a new policy, using thunderous means.
To stabilize the overall situation of Wei State, General Xie Xun was left to lead heavy troops in Changcheng, and the ninth prince Murong Yan led the second prince Murong Ping to return to Yandu.
On April 23, 18th year of Xuanjia, King Liang and Fan Yuhuai had been besieging the palace for a whole month. Fan Yuhuai said to the outside world that he was afraid that attacking the palace would force the prince to jump over the wall and hurt His Majesty because he was afraid of attacking the palace.
But in fact, it was Li Mingrui's idea to siege the imperial city...
There is not much food in the palace, and there are so many people in the emperor's concubines and the eunuchs and maids in the palace. People always have to eat and drink! The soldiers led by Chief Xie Yu also have to eat and drink. They just need to besiege the imperial city... It takes less than a month to wait
When the food is exhausted, the soldiers guarding the imperial city will inevitably turn against each other, and then they can obtain the imperial city at the lowest price.
But it has been a whole month, and the soldiers guarding the imperial city did not have any food. King Liang seemed a little impatient. Li Mingrui only felt that something must be strange. The problem might be the soldiers who besieged the imperial palace.
This time, Li Mingrui followed King Liang to rebel, and if he failed, he would be killed. Therefore, he had to do his best. He secretly mobilized the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion and secretly investigated it.
On April 29th, it was found that the general under Fan Yuhuai who was guarding the west gate of the palace secretly delivered food to the palace late at night. The stolen people were all captured. After asking, he realized that the general was the secret of the prince planting the imperial guards.
pile.
Xie Yuchang watched Fan Yuhuai chop the general's head outside the imperial city, and heard Fan Yuhuai shouting loudly: "Xie Yuchang, I respect you as a man! If you surrender obediently... His Highness King Liang not only
I will ask Your Majesty to spare your life and will also entrust you with respect! Otherwise... don't blame me for not telling my love for my fellow comrades!"
The general who was arranged by the princess of Zhenguo under Fan Yuhuai was very careful in transporting grain. The ones sent to the palace every night were just a small amount of food. Although Xie Yu repeatedly asked to send more food,
The general was cautious and did not dare to send him too much fear of being noticed by King Liang.
Unexpectedly, I was discovered so cautiously...
If there was no food, Xie Yuchang felt deeply that he might have to be forced by Mrs. Qin, so he could not defend the palace or the emperor.
That day, Bai Jinxiu appeared at the Wude Gate Gate at the same time as Xie Yuchang to resist the siege of the imperial guards, which indeed shocked Fan Yuhuai and his men.
After scaring away the imperial guards, Bai Jinxiu went to the south gate of the palace to find the general and asked him to deliver food to the palace every night. Then Bai Jinxiu quietly left the palace from the southern gate and contacted Bai Qingyan who arranged for the imperial guards.
The staff in the city plan to control the entry and exit of the capital city and then invite the emperor out of the palace...
After all, if Xie Yuchang really couldn't defend the palace, the emperor would never fall into the hands of King Liang.
Unexpectedly, when Bai Jinxiu finally managed to control the south gate of the capital quietly, the emperor was unwilling to leave the palace.
The emperor said that the Heavenly Master had something to say... There is no better place for alchemy than the place where the true dragon and dragon energy gathered in the palace, so the emperor was unwilling to leave, but the good thing was that he gave Xie Yuchang an imperial edict, asking Xie Yuchang to try to hand it over to the prince.
...Let the prince mobilize troops to help.
Xie Yuchang was unable to do so, so he had to bring the imperial edict to Bai Jinxiu, saying that he would protect the emperor when he was swearing to death. Bai Jinxiu was relieved, and only asked Bai Jinxiu to take the imperial edict out of the city for help. When the time was right, they could cooperate inside and outside to wipe out King Liang.
One party.
Bai Jinxiu was so angry that she received the imperial edict. Someone wanted to kill the prince and usurp the throne. The emperor was unwilling to leave the palace for the sake of alchemy. Is he crazy?
But it's good that the emperor was unwilling to come out of the palace, but instead was able to attract Fan Yuhuai's troops around the palace.
Then, Xie Yuchang personally accompanied His Majesty to the city tower, and His Majesty angrily accused King Liang of being a traitor with evil intentions.
But the King of Liang sang the opera very well. He knelt under the Wude Gate and shouted that he was sorry to the emperor... He actually let the emperor be coerced by the prince, saying that although the emperor said that King of Liang must take down the prince, he would not remember anything.
The price, but he couldn't watch his father be humiliated. He would save the emperor first even if he died.
The emperor was so angry that he didn't breathe and fainted. Xie Yuchang had to order someone to return the Emperor's Platform to treat him first. Fan Yuhuai took the opportunity to shout to the soldiers, saying... The prince was clear about his heart, otherwise why wouldn't he dare to give up.
The emperor continued.
King Liang even fully interpreted a filial son, changing his cowardly and incompetent image in the past, pointing to the city wall, cursing the prince, saying that if the prince dares to hurt the emperor, don't blame him for not caring about his brotherhood.
As a result, the soldiers in the palace became more and more convinced that King Liang wanted to rebel...
However, the soldiers outside the palace felt that Fan Yuhuai was right. It must be the prince who coerced the emperor to the city wall. Otherwise, why did the emperor say nothing after seeing the King of Liang kneel down and crying, and he would not defend the prince?
Even the emperor fainted from anger and was fabricated and beaten by Xie Yuchang, so the emperor was not allowed to say much.
Xie Yuchang was going to send the emperor out of the palace, but the emperor refused... Xie Yuchang thought of a compromise method to let the emperor climb the city tower, but unexpectedly... he backfired.
In addition, Fan Yuhuai was originally a hero in the rebellion of Wudemen, and King Liang always showed his timid and cowardly and incompetently. The soldiers who besieged the palace believed that they were the soldiers who were the kings.
When Bai Jinxiu learned that the hidden stakes arranged at the south gate of the palace were found, she understood that... Now the palace will be out of food in a few days.
Now outside the palace, she has sent several waves of people to detect the elder sister to come there. She can do this... King Liang will do this, but King Liang's people are more convenient to enter and exit the capital than hers.
Naturally, he is more versatile than her.
Bai Jinxiu is now in darkness, so she can only stare at the actions of King Liang and Fan Yuhuai to speculate and then make a decision.
Fortunately, she held the imperial edict written by the emperor in her hand, and ordered the governors and military camps from all over the country to come to rescue the emperor. Bai Jinxiu had not handed over the imperial edict to the prince, nor had she used it yet.
The troops that can be mobilized now are not only the army that can be defended against Rongdi, the Dengzhou Army in Xiliang, and the Pingyang Army in Pingyang City, but also the 30,000 defenders in Yuanping can be defended against Dayan.
Mobilize.
However, the distance between Yuanping and Dadu City is almost two days away. The eldest sister's location is unknown, so we cannot let Yuanping's army get involved too early. If the imperial guards lose to Yuanping's army, the internal chaos in Dadu City will be overwhelmed too early.
There is no benefit in the overall situation.
Therefore, before the eldest sister came back before the time when King Liang ascended the throne, the Yuanping army could not move.
