I just want salted fish

Chapter 85

Although the imperial court has veteran general Hou who has experienced many battles sitting in command, his opponent is young general Hou who has a bright future!

Hou Meng took most of Dongyue's elite and supplies with him when he set off on the expedition. Now he raised the flag of righteousness and turned his guns to fight Dongyue. The cities and counties along the way were completely lost and surrendered.

The result of the emergency mobilization meeting was to hand over the command of the Gyeonggi Guards to General Hou, and let him lead this strong force to resist for a while, otherwise, according to the speed of Hou Meng's rapid march, he would be able to directly attack the capital in a few days.

At the same time, the emperor sent lobbyists to treat Hou Mengxiao with affection and reason, hoping that he could rein in his horse and return from his lost ways. The emperor remembered his old feelings and would definitely give him a way to survive, and so on.

Unfortunately, he thought beautifully.

On the afternoon of the third day, a disheveled messenger soldier ran into the palace, knelt down as soon as he entered the hall, and sobbed continuously: "The emperor...the Gyeonggi Guards were defeated...Old General Hou was defeated in all battles. He has... died for his country!"

As he spoke, he took out a blood-stained helmet from the package on his back, and placed it neatly on the hall.

The officials who had been in a state of anxiety from the night before saw the helmet of Old General Hou, and their delicate nerves finally couldn't stretch themselves, and they all disconnected.

The timid ministers sat on the ground in fright on the spot, and the more courageous ones also looked very ugly.

What a little Hou, his wings are so hard that even Lao Tzu doesn't pay attention to him!

Besides, Xiaohou was not very gregarious, if he attacked this time, wouldn't he just kill them all like chopping melons and vegetables?

The sane minister said: "Your Majesty! The capital is no longer safe. I beg you to leave the capital immediately and seek refuge in the south!"

Just as he was talking, the officials sent out to negotiate finally came back with new bad news——

"Your Majesty! Hou Meng refuses to accept surrender! The rebels threatened to invade the capital and change the dynasty..."

The emperor seemed to be stupefied, sitting on his seat, staring and motionless.

Feng Linlin has been accompanying him behind the curtain. How can she sit still when such a big incident happened?
Difficulty B is already so difficult, if there are A, A+, S, SS, SSS in the future... can she stand it?

Grandma, you have to do it even if you can’t stand it!
The emperor had been really good to her since she got pregnant, so much so that she wanted to just live with him.

Now that he is in trouble, if he runs away with oil on his feet, firstly, he will be sorry for him, and secondly, since she is pregnant with the emperor's heir, Hou Meng will not let her go.

As the emperor's favored concubine, she and the emperor share weal and woe, and are closely related.

Thinking of this, Feng Linlin opened the curtain and walked forward with her big belly.

All the ministers knew Feng Cairen's name, and when they met at this time, they still had the courtesy: "Feng Cairen."

"My lords are polite."

Feng Linlin walked all the way to the emperor's side, held his hand firmly, and asked, "Hou Meng's rebellious army has already approached the city, what is the emperor's plan?"

Hearing her question, the emperor seemed to come back to his senses, and said slowly: "Elder General Hou can't stop it, and the Jingji Guards are also defeated. They can't beat...the only way to escape..."

"Then withdraw." Feng Linlin said in a clear voice, "The emperor is the foundation of the country. As long as the emperor exists, the rebel army will always be a rebel army. The rebel army is coming fiercely, but the division is unknown. We must avoid their edge and save our strength first!"

"Okay, okay..." The emperor got up and said, "I will pass on the order, and I want to move south!"

The emperor moved his mouth, and everyone ran away and broke their legs.

The emperor went out in plain clothes to visit the palace with great fanfare. Now that his family has moved south, the whole palace is in chaos.

As soon as the emperor left, the courtiers and concubines naturally wanted to follow, and the eunuchs, court ladies, and courtiers' families all followed because they were afraid of becoming Hou Jun's ghosts.

The order to move south was issued at noon, and at night, the capital was already blocked by carriages.

The emperor naturally wanted to leave the capital first, he didn't have to worry about bringing his luggage, he only had the pregnant Feng Linlin and Chuanguo Yuxi with him.

Although there is still one month before the due date, Feng Linlin feels a little bad.

She didn't know whether she was shocked or tired, but she always felt pain in her stomach.

But seeing the emperor like a frightened bird, she could only endure the pain and hugged him in her arms: "It's okay, the emperor, Hou Meng conspired to rebel and kill his father, and tried to change the dynasty. The subjects of Dongyue are deeply favored by the emperor. That thief!"

The emperor hugged her waist: "I'm sorry, Lin... you are about to give birth, and you still have to ride with me... I'm sorry..."

"Aren't we husband and wife? Husband and wife should follow suit. You should cheer up and show your energy. All the courtiers and concubines are counting on you!"

The emperor straightened up and nodded vigorously.

The emperor and his party escaped fast enough that they were not blocked in the capital by Hou Meng's rapid march.

However, the relatives of senior officials who were too late to withdraw were all detained by Hou Jun.

Hou Meng selected several relatives of treacherous officials from among them, regardless of age, they were all strangled, and their bodies were hung on the city wall for public display.

Because of the hot weather, the corpses on the city wall rotted quickly, and the once prosperous and luxurious capital city was filled with the breath of death.

Hou Meng came back this time under the banner of a righteous army. He ran the army rigorously along the way and did not burn, kill or loot.

It is obvious to all that the emperor is obsessed with women and cannot govern the country, and the Hou family's ancestors have guarded the territory for generations, and their prestige is extremely high.

In contrast to the two, the people began to lean towards Hou Jun, thinking that it would not matter even if the emperor was replaced by Hou Meng.

Anyway, it is enough for the common people to live a good life, and it does not make much difference who is the emperor.

Hou Meng gained a firm foothold in the capital by virtue of his past prestige and a campaign of killing chickens to warn monkeys, and then calmly commanded the army to pursue the emperor's southward direction.

Dongyue has been founded for a hundred years, and it still has some foundations. The emperor and his party passed through Zhuxia County, and the governor of Zhuxia County accepted them.

In the past few days, the emperor was in shock of being betrayed by Hou Meng, and he still refused to face the reality.

But the situation did not allow the emperor to be silly and sweet, Feng Linlin helped him up and asked him to announce his crusade against Hou Meng.

She studied history before, and she knew that in ancient times, both sides had to issue crusades before going to war, occupying the moral high ground, and belittling each other as worthless.

Hou Meng rebelled for the first time, had no experience, and hadn't realized it yet.

Anyway, he was an opponent, so Feng Linlin was no longer polite to him.

Zhuxia County is similar to Yingchuan in the Three Kingdoms period of China. It is rich in talents. With the emperor's order, an excellent essay immediately stood out.

The writer is well versed in the way of defeating the enemy, and praised the glorious deeds of the Hou family following the founding emperor of Dongyue in the South and North Wars, and the Hou family's ancestors defending the family and defending the country.

Then he changed his pen and felt sorry for Chen Houmeng for failing the country's cultivation of him. The emperor trusted him so much, but he deceived the emperor and treasoned the country, conspired to usurp the throne, and even killed the old general Hou who was admired by all the people.

Feng Linlin read it twice and thought that the content was concise, the sentences were smooth, and it was very appealing.

The emperor stamped the jade seal in a trance, and Feng Linlin sent out the crusade in person.
