[Comprehensive Wear] It's hard to be a princess

The East Palace of this dynasty is not like the Yuqing Palace in the Forbidden City, it is a palace in the imperial palace, but similar to a separate palace group, otherwise it would not be able to station the next team of guards, but the guards to which the East Palace belongs The full staff is only 2000 people, not to mention that the Donggong Suwei has never been fully staffed and has to be rotated. Therefore, there are only about a thousand people who actually guard the Eastern Palace.

Because of what happened in the harem, Tu Jingchen couldn't trust the imperial guards anymore, so he only taught people to pass orders, ordering the imperial guards to guard the entrance of the Daming Palace and the harem, whoever dared to take a step beyond the threshold would be killed directly, and then directly ordered people to guard East Palace.

Jia She was pacing around the palace agitatedly. He had noticed something was wrong before and wanted to send a message to Jia Daian, but now the palace has been isolated from the outside, and it is impossible for there to be any animals like carrier pigeons in the palace. , so, he can't do anything.

"Don't panic, how many people can these rebels gather, and when they find out that something is wrong outside, they will naturally come to the rescue!" Seeing his brother-in-law like this, Zhang Anyuan could only comfort him.Jia pardon this person, he is clever, but his thoughts are very shallow, it is easy to see, if his father is Jia Daian, born with a good life, he has such a temperament, he will not discuss it when he is cheated to death of!But Jia She has one advantage, that is, at least he treats his wife very well. Jia She can be regarded as a good man in this era. The Zhang family has only one son for so many years, and he also arranged for him to be a concubine. However, Jia She always On the one hand, they seldom sleep with these concubines, even if they spend the night there, they are not allowed to give birth to children. Moreover, if Mrs. Shi makes things difficult for Mrs. Zhang, Jia Amnesty will always be on Mrs. Zhang's side. Anyway, Mrs. Shi This made it difficult for Mrs. Zhang, so Jia Amnesty went to trouble Jia Zheng. A mother-in-law can make things difficult for her daughter-in-law, and an older brother can teach her younger brother a lesson.After a few times, Shi felt sorry for Jia Zheng. Although he became more and more dissatisfied with Jia Amnesty in his heart, he could only die down in the end.

Some time ago, Mrs. Zhang was pregnant again, and the Zhang family was also happy for her. After all, most families value having more children and more blessings. For so many years, because Mrs. Zhang only gave birth to one Jia Hu, she was so happy. Some people gossip outside, saying that Zhang is jealous. Although the Zhang family has been supporting Zhang, after all, it is not that they have no sons, but if this continues, there will only be more people who gossip. Besides, there is a history The Wang family is behind the scenes, and now that the Zhang family is pregnant again, the Zhang family is finally relieved.After all, it is not a concept to not let others live if you can't give birth.

In short, although in the eyes of the Zhang family, Jia Amnesty can be regarded as unlearned and incompetent, but being kind to his first wife can cover up other shortcomings. In the end, the other party turned out to be a frivolous, spoiled concubine and killed his wife, so what?What's more, Jia Shetian has a good life. Even if he doesn't know a single word, he still has a title waiting to be inherited. If his daughter marries, she will be the wife of the prince. easy thing.

Although Zhang Anyuan was also nervous, seeing Jia She's fidgeting appearance, he still persuaded him: "Don't take the rebels too seriously. They came here for the throne, so many things dare not go too far. The front There are still quite a few yamen running errands. Although most of those who stay in Beijing are not high-ranking officials, many of them are well-established. If the rebels mess around, no one will really be willing to follow their masters. After all , No one wants to have a violent Lord on their head! They also want to attract people's hearts!"

Zhang Anyuan was just trying to comfort Jia Amnesty. Even if the rebels wanted to win over Huairou, they were targeting those neutral factions, not those who had already taken a firm stand. The East Palace is not another yamen, so they can be here. They are all their enemies. If the water from the Taiye Pond hadn’t been brought in from the imperial palace, and waterwheels had been set up everywhere, these people could have gone straight to the Eastern Palace and set fire to it!

Jia Amnesty settled down for the time being, while Jia Jing's expression on the other side was serious. Now he is not only a Jinshi, but also the eldest son of Ningguo Mansion.Two years ago, Jia Fu died of illness, leaving behind a posthumous son. Originally, he thought that he would directly leave the title to this grandson in the future, but after the grandson was born, he discovered that he was also congenitally deficient and crooked.Therefore, Jia Daihua also gave up this idea, raised the child well, and distributed more family property to him in the future, and the matter of attacking the noble had to fall on Jia Jing.

Although Jia Jing has been studying since he was a child, it is not true that he is completely ignorant of military affairs. Because of the fact that he was excluded in the Imperial Academy, he has been brooding over the years, so he has paid more attention to many things.He didn't get along much in the honorable circle at first. After all, he was so focused on the imperial examinations at that time that he made it look like a parrot out of a group of mynahs. They all could talk, but they were different and couldn't play. go together.But now that he is a son, he needs to hang out in this circle. At this moment, he has already guessed exactly what the origin of the rebel army is.

Compared with the blatant Tu Jingping, Tu Jingning did not show his face directly. At this moment, the rebels started to attack the gate of the East Palace in an orderly manner.

Under normal circumstances, no one would store many things for the defense of the city in the palace. Even the ordnance in the palace had to be obtained from a special arsenal, but the rebels directly colluded with the Wucheng soldiers and horses, and got it from there. A large number of ordnance, even including some siege equipment.Although it is not easy to bring such large equipment in, and it is troublesome to install it, but compared to the big ones in other people's hands, the ones in Donggong Suwei's hands are too few, and there is nothing powerful.

All the maids in the East Palace were mobilized, and even the princess was ordering people to lift out the clumsy furniture and move them outside. At that time, whether it was behind the palace gate or split open for firewood, it could be used .If it is winter, the East Palace will store a large amount of silver frost charcoal and coal, but it is summer at the moment, and there is a lot of ice in the cellar, and water is pumped by water truck to cool down, but when it comes to charcoal, there is relatively little charcoal. Although the East Palace has its own dining room, at most it can only store charcoal for about four or five days. The palace staff in charge of the dining room will go to the Shangshi Bureau to get it according to the different ingredients, such as charcoal. The ones that consume a lot of money are fetched once every four or five days. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen? Under normal circumstances, the most common way to resist a siege is to pour boiling water from the city wall, Boiling oil and even golden juice.The problem is, where can there be any golden juice in a place like the palace, so it can only be boiled oil and water.Still the same sentence, the East Palace is not a food bureau, and there are not so many oil reserves. Fortunately, there is no shortage of water, so it can only be poured with boiling water. Although the palace wall is relatively high, but in summer, even It will be cooler when the boiling water is poured, but it will not be too cold.

The only problem is that the palace wall is not a city wall. People can stand on the city wall. Although the palace wall is relatively thick, it is still a bit short of standing people, so a high platform has to be built urgently. Others just stand on it. Going up the ladder and attacking downwards, this also made Donggong's manpower a little stretched.

Tu Jingchen was anxious in his heart. He never expected that those brothers of his were so frantic that he couldn't do what they could do. As a result, a few brothers had accumulated such a large power under Emperor Qianyuan's eyes!Tu Jingchen felt aggrieved. For so many years, he had been cautious and cautious, not daring to make any mistakes, and often had to pretend to be stupid. As a result, the brothers did various small tricks in private, withholding salt tax, tanwu taking bribes, colluding Officials, now they even support private soldiers, making Emperor Qianyuan's previous suppression of the princes seem like a joke!If he, the crown prince, had done such things, he would have been deposed a long time ago, but when it came to them, that is, he punished himself three cups, and he was not satisfied!

Although he was resentful in his heart, Tu Jingchen didn't want to lose all his achievements. If such a thing happened, as long as he and Emperor Qianyuan were still alive, then these people should not expect to make further progress.But the premise of all this is that he is alive and well, without disfigurement or disability!Therefore, Tu Jingchen acted as if a gentleman would not stand under a dangerous wall. Of course, he also put on a calm and calm appearance, so as to stabilize people's hearts. If he himself panicked, then maybe Donggong Suwei If they can still hold on, those palace people may not be able to work hard to guard the East Palace wholeheartedly like they are now.

Just like Emperor Qianyuan, Tu Jingchen is also drawing a big cake for everyone: "Such an accident happened in the palace, and soon someone will find the abnormality. You only need to survive this period of time, and someone will come to rescue you soon. , when the time comes, you will all be meritorious officials, and the emperor and Gu will not hesitate to reward you!"

With this kind of belief, and some guards in the palace also made room to come to the rescue, even though they didn't know whether these guards were enemies or friends, the East Palace closed the gate anyway, and couldn't hold on. Only the guards and rebels were taught to fight outside the palace gate, waiting for reinforcements to arrive.

As for the Nanshan Palace, the dust has also settled.Jia Dai'an made a great contribution this time. Although the messenger was intercepted and killed by Tu Jingping's men, Jia Dai'an was a character who had been in the battlefield for many years and had a very keen intuition for war. When inspecting the Beijing camp, they found some abnormalities. They made a decisive decision and took down an officer who was not good at psychological quality and who spoke incoherently. one is right.The private soldiers that Tu Jingping raised in private had never really fought at all, and they still had the idea of ​​promotion and fortune hanging in front of them. When Jia Daian arrived with the elite of the Beijing camp, their morale collapsed not long after. Ping still wanted to escape, but the people around him directly betrayed him, so that he could atone for his crime.Tu Jingping knew that he couldn't escape, so he tried to bite again, which only made Emperor Qianyuan tremble with anger, but he had to calm down forcibly, so as to clean up the first and last as soon as possible.Therefore, even if Emperor Qianyuan ordered people to go back to Beijing to rescue the East Palace immediately, it would be the next day when they arrived at the palace!
