Suppose Xu Xing escapes from prison and becomes a civilian.
She clings to the past, and Xu Xing will only be happy, and they will be on the same page as her, and they will become a couple who retreats to the fields and forests.
Because at this time Xu Xing... had nothing, she followed Xu Xing when he was down and out...
But... with Xu Xing's current status, she was just humiliating herself in the past.
What qualifications does a Zhangtai native have to become the wife of a powerful man?
If she had not given birth to a baby boy, Xu Xing would have thought of his old relationship and raised her. But she gave birth to an heir for Xu Xing, and there was no direct heir, but no direct heir. She was a powerless woman, and it was difficult to have a son.
Depending on how valuable the mother is, she may end up fighting in the harem, or she may die at the hands of her husband, killing the mother to take the son...
"Mother..."
"Isn't this too assertive?"
After Zhao Yunniang said this, Xiulan felt vaguely that "recognizing her relatives" was not a good option.
It's just that they have lived in seclusion in Guzhou City for a long time, and the escorts of the escort agency have recently made frequent speeches, planning to return to the escort agency.
There is no peace in the house.
Although the escort's matter is easy to solve, the worst thing is that he will be rehired.
But this won’t be an option in the long run.
"It's late, go to bed."
Zhao Yunniang had tears in her eyes and did not explain any more.
She blew out the candlelight and put on her clothes.
Xiulan only knew that King Xingtian was majestic and did not kill him even after fighting with his sworn brothers. He was a person who valued love and justice. But she had been with Xu Xing for a long time, how could she not know that her husband was cruel.
But slandering her husband is really not what a good woman would say.
Therefore, she did not explain.
One night passed, and the quilt was wet with tears. It was not until Lu Zhang burst into tears that Zhao Yunniang gathered her strength, got down on the bed, and started to pick up the baby, intending to breastfeed the baby.
But at this moment, Xiulan, who had gone to Dongcheng vegetable market to do some shopping in the morning, rushed into the master bedroom in a very unruly manner.
However, before Zhao Yunniang could reprimand her, Xiulan hurriedly closed the music door and whispered: "Mother, good news, when I went to the market to buy vegetables today, I heard rumors that the King of Punishment of Guanxi Road was born.
The order requires his subordinates to find the old sword from his childhood for him..."
"Old sword?"
Zhao Yunniang was puzzled.
Xiulan began to explain the whole story one by one.
Love stories such as "Love left behind in Nanyuan, Love between old swords" have always been popular among the world. In addition, Xu Xing also planned to create a character of a hero who knows people and values human relationships. With the help of people in the world under Wuhutang,
In less than half a month, this story spread all over the country from Kansai Road.
Whether it is the nobles who have been holding hairpins for generations or the people of Webru Lane, they are all talking about this rumor.
"he……"
"Did he really say that?"
Zhao Yunniang's eyes were shining for the first time after being homeless for more than a year.
She also didn't want to. The child would have no father as soon as it was born, and she would have no one to rely on.
"Yes……"
"My maid is sure..."
Xiulan patted her chest in assurance.
"Quickly, pack up your belongings and let's go north..."
Zhao Yunniang made a prompt decision and ordered.
…
A month and a half later.
Siming Mountain finally ushered in the imperial encirclement and suppression.
Because the Kansai Road is quite close to the frontier, Emperor Chongming not only sent 50,000 forbidden troops and 100,000 local troops, but also specially deployed 30,000 Kansai cavalry to defend the Tatars...
Unlike the Forbidden Army, which could not stand up to the challenge, the Kansai Iron Cavalry had experienced hundreds of battles and had fought with the Tatars for a long time. They were the best among the best.
It is said that it costs at least fifty taels of silver to train a foreign cavalryman.
And this does not include additional expenses such as war horses and armor.
With one hundred thousand cavalry in hand, Emperor Chongming had the confidence to suppress the rebellion in the world.
However--
Xu Xing, who had been prepared for a long time, did not intend to confront the nearly 200,000 officers and soldiers head-on.
When the cannon goes off, there is a thousand taels of gold.
The army has not moved, but the food and grass go first.
It costs a lot of money for nearly 200,000 people to eat horse chews every day. Even if the imperial court has the Cao River to transport grain and grass south of the Yangtze River, as long as Siming Mountain can withstand the first few waves of attacks, within a month or two, the imperial court will
The officers and soldiers retreated.
Xu Xing knew exactly how much money there was in the imperial treasury.
We have long been unable to make ends meet.
In addition, Xu Xing also used the name of deputy leader to support the rebels in Jiangnan West Road. As soon as the imperial officers and soldiers transported food from the Cao River, he sent a small force to rob the food and harass...
Stealing food from officers and soldiers can strengthen themselves, so why would these seventeen rebel kings not do it?
Although there are heavy troops guarding the vicinity of Caohe River, the Caohe River is very long and it is really difficult to defend it.
The outer road is a strategic place.
In order to defend against the imperial officers and soldiers, Xu Xing built the passes to be impregnable.
soon.
With preparations from Siming Mountain, the imperial officers and soldiers laid siege for a month without success.
No, I can only withdraw temporarily.
It is worth mentioning that in this battle, the generals of the cavalry outside the pass saw the weakness of the imperial court. In addition, Xu Xing continued to send people to lobby, and the generals of the cavalry outside the pass who had long been arrogant and neglected gradually became disloyal to the court.
In the early stage, siege is okay, but in the later stage, we should conserve our strength and show off.
After all... the generals who lost their strength would really be beheaded by Emperor Chongming in public display.
As for the generals who still had strength, Emperor Chongming could only recognize them by pinching their noses, and did not dare to turn against them, fearing that they would rebel at the first touch.
There have been examples of this before.
When the officers and soldiers locked up the Eighteenth Route Army to rebel against the king, the imperial army retreated, and the local army reaped the benefits. However, the court did not respond at all, and there was no punishment for the local army generals...
After this time, the fig leaf of the imperial court was torn off.
Emperor Chongming became angry and furious, but he arbitrarily accused the generals of the Forbidden Army. Even Wei Wentong, the Taiwei who was begging for bones, was not treated well by Emperor Chongming and was beaten to death by Emperor Chongming.
The emperor was mean and ungrateful, so the generals naturally did not dare to die in his service.
Moreover, the survival of Siming Mountain, which occupies Guanxi Road, is also good for local powerful groups like them.
As a result, the siege gradually came to an end.
…
Shenjing, forbidden area, Xuanhua Palace.
"Damn King Zhenbei..."
"I married my favorite Anren into their family and became my daughter-in-law. Is this how King Zhenbei treats his favor?"
After learning that the front line was defeated and failed, Emperor Chongming became furious as soon as he came to court.
He ran to the Xuanhua Palace and looked at the story of Princess Anren arranged in the palace. He thought about the people he saw and kept scolding King Zhenbei.
"Your Majesty, calm down..."
"This is the pear porridge cooked by my concubine, please eat some..."
Concubine Han picked up a cup of porridge and comforted Emperor Chongming.
While feeding the emperor porridge, she said softly: "The king of Zhenbei should be concerned about the overall situation, so he does not dare to die, and only wants to protect Shenjing. Compared with Xu Ni, the Tatars are the most dangerous..."
Of course she knew that the King of Zhenbei, Li Liang, was self-respecting and would not listen to propaganda. Therefore, in order to stabilize King Li Liang of Zhenbei, Emperor Chongming was not allowed to marry his most cherished princess to the prince of Zhenbei.
But she couldn't say these words, as she would expose Emperor Chongming's scars.
So she pretended to be a simple woman who knew nothing about political affairs, and persuaded Emperor Chongming.
