The noise from the capital penetrated the palaces and reached the imperial city.
A group of concubines turned pale and screamed in surprise.
"Did the Jin people invade?"
These words made many concubines cry.
The Queen Mother sitting at the top didn't look much better, but she didn't cry like them.
"Why are you crying!" She shouted, looking at the concubines, "If the Jin people come in, you all will commit suicide first."
The concubines couldn't help but look into the palace.
There were daggers and wine glasses on the tables in the palace, and a trembling chambermaid standing nearby held a white silk ribbon in her hand.
Seeing these concubines crying even harder.
"We can't be like the concubines in Emperor Renxiao's harem." The Queen Mother said, thinking of the concubines in Emperor Renxiao's harem, her face turned a little paler.
Although she did not see it with her own eyes, after she fled here with the late emperor to establish the capital, she heard news from the Jin people that those concubines were like prostitutes in the hands of the Jin people.
At that time, she had no sympathy in her heart, only ridicule and disgust. Why didn't these women die earlier and save their lives to be abused by the Jin people and lose the face of Dazhou?
So when the late emperor wanted to redeem Emperor Renxiao, she was the first to object, not only because of the embarrassing issue of the late emperor's throne after Emperor Renxiao came back, but also because of those women. Letting those women step into the Zhou Dynasty again, she herself
Also humiliated.
I just didn't expect that she would be here today.
The Jin people were about to invade, and her son ran away, leaving her and the women in the harem behind.
The Queen Mother reached out and grasped the hem of her clothes tightly, feeling suffocated.
This beast.
"What's going on outside?" she shouted.
A servant rushed in rolling and crawling.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Master Ning Yanning has called on the people in the city to prepare to defend the city." He said happily, "All the people are guarding the city together to collect gold."
Common people?
What can the people do?
The Queen Mother looks ugly.
It's okay, let them fill in the front and block the Jin people. Maybe the reinforcements from the surrounding areas can arrive before the Jin people rush into the palace.
"So." The chamberlain raised his head and trembled, "The Imperial Army has also been transferred."
The Queen Mother stood up abruptly.
"Forbidden Army!" she shouted, "Why were the Forbidden Army transferred away? Who can transfer the Forbidden Army! If the Forbidden Army is transferred, what will happen to the imperial city?"
What to do with the Imperial City?
If the capital city cannot be defended, how can the imperial city be defended? In fact, it is not so much that the Imperial Guards were transferred away, but rather that they left on their own. When they stepped forward to stop them, the Imperial Guards said this.
"It was discussed by the elders." The chamberlain said, and then thought of something else and changed the subject. "Now all the officials from the six departments have begun to defend the city. Everyone has their own division of labor. The adults said that please rest assured, ladies, we will definitely be able to defend the city with reinforcements."
arrival."
Now that the emperor has run away, she doesn't have much confidence to scold and oppose these court officials. After all, she still expects them to defend the city.
The Queen Mother gritted her teeth and sat down, clenching her hands tightly in front of her.
"They'd better not let the Aijia down," she said.
After saying that, he looked at the concubines who stopped crying in the palace.
"Don't be reluctant to die. When the time comes, the Ai family will personally watch you on your way and will never let you disgrace the royal family." She shouted, looking at the chamberlain, "Close the palace door and no one is allowed in or out."
When he said this, a look of determination flashed across his face.
"Once the Jin invades, you must prevent fire and burn us to death in here."
As soon as these words were spoken, cries of pain resounded in the hall again.
Compared to the grief of the women in the palace, Prince Xian's Mansion, which also had no fewer women than the palace, seemed much quieter.
"I want to bring this." A woman put a pearl crown into the box. "The prince bought this for me at a great price."
"I can't fit these in." The woman on the other side stamped her feet as if in protest, calling to the little girl, "Go and find another big box."
"Oh, my ladies." A chamberlain wiped his sweat and saluted, "The cellar can't hide so many things. It would be nice to be able to hide people. You can't bring these things in."
The room suddenly burst into wailing and moaning.
"Ladies, we are taking refuge. The Jin people are coming in, and our lives are at stake." The waiter said urgently.
He said and looked at the wise king sitting beside him.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please advise the ladies."
The wise king seemed to be in a daze, and he shouted several times before looking at him.
"What?" he asked.
Was the prince frightened? The servant wiped his sweat again. It is understandable that the emperor was scared away. For these royal children, their grandfather was captured by the Jin and died in the hands of the Jin. This nightmare is still
Haven't gone far yet.
"My lord, didn't you tell everyone to hide in the cellar? Just don't bring any jewelry. Just bring enough food and drink." The chamberlain said, "Do you think this is true?"
The wise king shook his head.
"I don't know." he said.
Ah? The waiter was stunned, what didn’t he know?
"Is it okay to hide in the cellar and bring enough food and drink?" the wise king looked at him and asked.
Otherwise? The waiter was stunned, was he worried about the cellar or was it unsafe?
"Then before we get in, let's dig deeper?" he asked.
The wise king looked at him and smiled.
"Is this the only way to dig down and hide?" he said with a bit of self-mockery.
What else can we do? The waiter was even more confused.
What else can be done?
The Xian Wang tightened his grip on the armrest and saw a woman unfolding a painting to the side, seeming to be deciding whether to take it or not.
"This was painted by the late emperor himself for the prince." The woman muttered.
Yes, this was given to me by the late emperor, and it was a picture of a general.
When he was still young, he heard his master talk about the old grudges in Kaifeng. He was so angry that he had someone make a pair of armor and put it on. He ran to the late emperor and told him that he wanted to practice martial arts and fight in order to avenge his grandfather and avenge the great Zhou Dynasty.
The thought flashed across his mind, and the Xian Wang's nose suddenly became sour, and he felt like crying inexplicably.
He lowered his head and looked at his fat flesh that was huddled together on the chair.
Look what his life has become over the years.
Just to live, just to live, is it interesting?
"It's boring," he said.
The waiter didn't hear clearly.
"What did you say, my lord?" he asked.
The wise king looked at him.
"I said, it's boring." He said, standing up, "It's boring to live like this."
Isn't it interesting to live like this? What kind of life is interesting? The waiter was stunned.
The wise king patted his belly.
"Come here, bring me the king's armor." He shouted.
As soon as the words came out, the hall fell silent, and everyone looked at him.
The wise king also paused.
"Forget it, I don't have any armor, and I don't think there is any armor that I can wear." He said, patting his belly again, "Bring me my court uniform!"
The people in the palace finally came to their senses.
"Your Majesty, what are you going to do?" everyone asked.
The wise king's eyes, which were squeezed by the fat, burst out with light.
"My king is going to defend the city and kill the gold thieves." He said one word at a time.
The hall was quiet for a moment and then became noisy.
"Come quickly, the prince is scared out of his mind."
"Call the doctor quickly!"
"My lord, what's wrong with you?"
.............
.............
"Bah, bah, I am not crazy, let alone confused."
After finally getting rid of the chaotic crowd, the wise king shouted.
"I don't plan to hide anymore. I want to defend the city with the people."
He said and pointed outside.
"The common people are not afraid and dare to be with the city. As the prince of Zhou Dynasty, why do I hide? What shame do I have to hide? Am I not as good as the common people of Li?"
But that is the golden man.
Many people in the palace did not think highly of these people. For them, the city could not be defended at all.
Many women began to cry.
But a royal official's eyes lit up.
"Your Majesty, are you serious?" he asked.
The wise king looked at him.
"I have been telling lies for many years," he said. "Now that the emperor has run away, I want to tell the truth for once."
The meaning of these words caused the expressions of those present to change slightly.
But the palace official's eyes brightened even more.
The wise king ignored him.
"Come here, summon all the guards in the palace, and go up to the city wall with me to defend the city." He said, although his chubby face looked funny, his expression and tone no longer had the laughter of the past.
"yes."
A guard responded suddenly.
Following this response, the entire palace became tense. Countless guards took out armors that they had not worn for a long time and brought scattered weapons. Not only them, but also some of the chamberlains also followed suit.
"Although we don't have eggs, we still dare to fight the Jin people." The leader of the chamberlain shouted, holding up a wooden stick.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, we are going too."
A group of gorgeous women also came up.
"Your Majesty is not afraid, and neither are we!"
This made the originally tense and solemn scene become a bit funny. The wise king laughed, but did not scold these women, but hugged them from left to right.
"I know that my women will not be timid." He said, "I am a hero, and you are heroes too."
The women all burst out laughing.
Is it really necessary to take this group of women? The scene was a bit funny, and everyone present couldn't help but sweat.
What does this wise king want? Are you really scared out of your mind?
"However, I am a man. I am in front and you are behind." The wise king said, "When I die in battle, it will be up to you. When the time comes, you must come to avenge me."
After saying that, he gave the women a hard squeeze on their buttocks.
This made the women who were originally sad because they heard about their deaths in battle turned into coquettish ones, and the atmosphere became even more joyful.
In the midst of the coquettish voices, the wise king got on his horse and waved the sword in his hand.
It felt like he was back training in the school field when he was young, and opposite him were Zhu Zan's group of powerful disciples who looked down on him.
"Follow me and kill!" he shouted loudly.
That time, he was beaten into a pig's head by Zhu Zan's group. This time, he will beat the Jin man into a pig's head.
.........
...........
The gate of the palace opened wide, and the wise king took the lead, followed by a large number of guards and servants.
The officials of the royal palace followed last. Compared with the good-spirited king, their expressions were not very good-looking.
"Why don't you give me any advice?" an official whispered, "Isn't this nonsense?"
The other official smiled.
"Nonsense? Not necessarily." He said, his eyes sparkling, "This is an opportunity."
Chance?
The previous officials were stunned for a moment, and then looked towards the street. There were many people walking on the street. When they saw the wise king appearing, everyone looked surprised, but then they seemed to understand something, and they looked surprised and respectful.
prestige.
The officials understood immediately.
At this time, even the emperor ran away, but the wise king stepped forward. You can imagine the reputation of the court officials among the people.
The wise king always pretended to be stupid, and now he suddenly did this, could it be...
"I have known for a long time that the wise king is not a waste." The official said in a low voice, "He was different when he was a child. He has really kept a low profile for so many years..."
At this point, they looked at each other and saw the sparks in each other's eyes.
As a royal official, their fate is determined for life. Only the fate of the prince can change their fate.
Who doesn’t want to take a step further and have a better destiny?
It's just that fate is hard to change and the chances are slim. They dare not even think about it on a daily basis.
Has the opportunity come at this time?
While I was thinking wildly, the team marching in front suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong? Does the prince regret it again?" the official asked hurriedly.
The wise king reined in his horse and stopped, looking thoughtful.
"This is an opportunity." He murmured suddenly, then turned the horse's head and urged it in the other direction.
Where is this going?
The guards and chamberlains behind him looked at each other and hurriedly followed.
Miss Jun doesn't know what's happening here.
She stabilized the people, while Ning Yan stabilized the government. Order in the originally chaotic city was gradually restored, but this was only the first step.
The most important thing is how to do a good job in city defense next.
"In battle, the most important thing is to defend well, and the most important thing is to avoid being in a hurry." Miss Jun said.
Ning Yan nodded and looked at the Forbidden Army and the generals of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division present.
"So we need to make good allocations, fully mobilize everyone, and make the best use of everything." He said.
"The Qingshan Army will be distributed among your soldiers, and they will lead and defend the formation." Miss Jun said, "You know more about the specific deployment, so it is up to you to arrange it."
The generals responded in unison.
"Then now it's time to select the best people in the city and replenish the manpower on the four walls." Ning Yan said.
Having said this, he sighed again and looked down from the city gate.
"People's hearts are still not stable enough."
Miss Jun also looked over and saw that the crowd on the street was not as chaotic as before, and there were many people carrying earth bags, stones and wooden pillars needed for city defense as assigned, but they still gathered together from time to time, talking in low voices and looking around.
He always looked a little uneasy.
"...I said, I still feel uneasy thinking about it." A young man whispered to a few people around him, while putting down the stone in his hand.
"Why are you uneasy? Miss Jun and Master Ning are here," someone said.
The young man shook his head.
"It's not that I don't believe Miss Jun and Master Ning," he said, "I just think that if these dignitaries don't come out, are we being treated as scapegoats?"
His words made the people around him even more uneasy.
"I say, everyone should be smarter, don't be too hot-headed and work your butt off..." Someone couldn't help but say.
Before he finished speaking, there was a commotion in the street behind him, as if someone was coming.
"What's wrong?" They couldn't help but look.
Countless people were swarming over there, seemingly vying to see something, and shouts kept coming.
Miss Jun and others on the city gate also noticed that from a high position on the city gate, they could see a group of people approaching. Different from the guards of the government and some officials, these were obviously dressed like royal guards.
"The wise king is here." A soldier came hurriedly and said with a joyful expression, "The wise king has brought people to defend the city."
O virtuous king.
Ning Yan nodded, looking somewhat relieved, while Miss Jun was even more happy, emotional, and proud.
She knew that this little uncle was not a wimp. She just knew that the real children of the Chu family were not greedy for life and afraid of death.
"Let me take a look." She said, and hurriedly walked down the city wall. After walking a few steps, she heard the noise on the street getting louder.
"Come out, come out." A lively voice shouted.
Miss Jun stopped and looked over, and saw that the carriage in the crowd had stopped, and someone lifted the curtain and walked out, but it was not the fat body of the wise king, but a small figure.
This figure burst into view, and Miss Jun froze.
The people around were also stunned, and the noise gradually subsided, allowing the voices of the people stepping out of the carriage to be clearly heard.
"You guys, don't be afraid."
The clear children's voice echoed in the street, with a bit of childishness.
"I, the king, am with you."
Under the sun, on the carriage, a child wearing a prince's floral robe and a golden crown stood with his hands behind his hands.
Miss Jun's eyes instantly blurred with tears.
Her nine-legged clothes stood under the sun.
Her nine-legged clothes were in front of people.
Her nine-legged clothes came out.
