Song left that day, with the remnant defeated general and everyone's suspicion, his position as Great Khan was also in jeopardy.

Chen Chunhe didn't leave, he advanced another fifty li to the capital, and the troops were stationed in the suburbs of Beijing.

The army brought by Risong was claimed to be 30, but Liang Guanjing said it was [-] at most, but the outpost was actually investigating, and the exact figure was about [-].

The reinforcements brought by Chen Chunhe claimed to be [-], but Liang Guanjing didn't say much. The news she asked from the outpost camp was that it was about [-].

The wolves were repelled by the front door, and the tigers were attacked by the back door. Due to the huge consumption of black powder in the previous wars, the cannons were left on the ground. There were not so many strong men and chariots and horses, so it was difficult to transport them back to the city, and they could no longer afford to fight.

"He won't really fight, he doesn't have the guts, and he can't hold back the face." Liang Guanjing told the cabinet, "But the situation may be worse. He has blocked the main roads in and out of the capital, and there is not much food in the city."

Song came all the way that day and couldn't take the capital. His soldiers needed to eat and drink, so he couldn't afford to wait.

Chen Chunhe came from Shandong, and Shandong was right behind him, so he could wait slowly for years.

Chu Suiliang from Shanxi bypassed Taihang Mountain and arrived later than Chen Chunhe. Chen Chunhe sent an envoy to communicate with Chu Suiliang first. Chu Suiliang is a double-faced person. He followed Chen Chunhe's appearance and was also at the foot of Taihang Mountain. wait.He couldn't do it watching Song break the city that day and refuse to save him, but he couldn't do it seeing Chen Chunhe and Emperor Huiwen break the city and refuse to save him.Chen Chunhe originally hoped that he would join the battle, but since Chu Suiliang watched from the sidelines, that's fine.

After taking down the capital, is it possible that the whole country is still upset over a milk doll and Emperor Huiwen, who was passed down by Emperor Tai-zu's imperial decree?Even Emperor Tianshun in the northwest can no longer play the role of coercing the emperor to order the princes. Shi Zhaoda loves to kill or not, whatever he wants.

After experiencing the arduous battle of defending the city, before they had time to celebrate, all civil and military officials were dumbfounded. They silently looked at the woman on the dragon chair, waiting for her decision.

Fight or surrender?

Liang Guanjing said weakly: "Don't panic, Chen Chunhe is not Na Risong, he will not massacre the city, let alone kill you. You are all the talents of the country, and you can still be reused in the future. It's just that there are no orphans here. The place where the widowed mother lives is now. The Ai family does not want to fight again. Inside and outside the city are all the people of our dynasty, the sons and daughters of China. Could it be that their lives are ruined and blood flows like rivers? The Ai family was born in martial arts, but the Ai family is the Ai family , is a woman, not a person who loves war. Whoever will be the emperor is a descendant of the Han family. What's the difference? That's all. Pass on my order and open the city gate from now on. Chen Chunhe loves to do whatever he wants, I just hope that my orphan and widow will be left with dignity.”

After that, she took the hand of Mrs. Han beside her. Mrs. Han was still holding the sleeping baby emperor in her hand. He was more than one year old and had been the emperor for two months. He knew nothing about everything around him. Get off the dragon chair, exit through the side door, exit the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and return to the harem.

Of course, Liang Guanjing didn't go back to the harem, she took Su Mingyue, Han Qihao, her personal maids and some cronies of Shenjiying, and they turned a corner and boarded the car, ready to escape from the palace immediately.

However, Chen Chunhe seemed to have expected that since the gate of the city was opened, his army would immediately enter the city. This was not enough. He allocated his men to wait for the rabbits on the various passages out of the city, and finally stopped halfway and prepared to board the boat. Empress Liang and the little emperor who went straight down the Nangong from the canal.Liang Guanjing ordered Qin Feiyang not to fire. They only had this few people and this little ammunition, and they couldn't defeat thousands of troops.This is not a war, this is just a hunt.

Chen Chunhe personally came to verify his integrity, and even grabbed a little palace lady, and asked if everyone around Liang Hou was there?

The little palace maid looked around with tears in her eyes and nodded.

"Not one missing?"

The little maid said: "It's these few people."

Indeed, there were quite a few of them. Before the arrest, the list was recorded, and after the arrest, the heads were counted. Even Feng Xu, who went to Liang's mansion to report the letter, was blocked on the road and arrested.

Chen Chunhe felt relieved.

A few days ago, Liang Guanjing defeated Nari Song outside the northern suburbs. She was greeted by jubilant crowds from all over the city. When she entered the gate of the palace, the people knelt down and shouted three times for my emperor's long live, and three times for the empress dowager's thousand years old.

A few days later, she was secretly escorted back to the capital by Chen Chunhe's men. No one along the way knew that she had fled and was arrested. Immediately afterwards, she and her people were imprisoned in the Yongming Palace in the imperial city and put under house arrest.

She is the hero who saved the capital from peril. Chen Chunhe couldn't throw her into Zhao Prison, even above the court. He also said that Empress Liang had made great contributions to saving the country, and the emperor would treat her with courtesy. The harem takes care of their lives.

When he said that, the civil and military officials silently looked at the man on the dragon chair who had disappeared for nearly 20 years. He was still a teenager when he left, but now he has a long beard and gray temples. At the age of forty, he was exiled and worried, and worried about being discovered and poisoned every night. This kind of life completely destroyed his spirit and body.Chen Chunhe was smug, but Emperor Huiwen was a little bit discouraged.

Who is the real ruler of the imperial power? Yes, it is the general who is talking endlessly in front of him.Loyalty to the emperor and patriotism is just his wishful thinking, maybe even he has deceived himself.

Everyone knows it, and no one dares to say it.

Chen Chunhe said that he would treat Empress Liang with extra courtesy, and everyone was full of doubts. They just waited for the news of Empress Liang's sudden death from the harem one day.

Is there any courtesy?How can it be? !

Because Liang Guanjing didn't show up since she left the court that day, she was imprisoned in the harem, and she didn't see Emperor Huiwen and Chen Chunhe at all.The imperial army was replaced overnight, the commander Zhao Huaijin was arrested, Lianghou's confidants Ling Haoran and Shangzhiwei were transferred to the suburbs of Beijing, Liu Wusi was transferred to a place farther away, and Emperor Huiwen promoted him to Shanhaiguan directly. .

Neither the cabinet nor civil and military officials could see the Queen Mother, and Liang Guanjing retired, just like when she returned to Nangong three years ago, she lived in seclusion in the harem.

Of course, this time it was forced.Everybody knows.

Liang Guanjing couldn't get out of Yongming Palace, and no one came in outside Yongming Palace, not even a eunuch serving tea and water. They had been starved for two days, and they were starving to death.The dried cakes and meat collected in the palace were given to the wet nurse and Han Qihao. With this mouthful of milk and a little food, the child could finally last a few more days.

Liang Guanjing watched the rising sun outside and waited quietly. She heard the sound of bells and drums, and Emperor Huiwen came, and he was summoning all civil and military officials to go to court.

"It's really amazing. Didn't you say that you will live for the rest of your life?" Liang Guanjing sneered, "Stay outside the city without abandoning a single soldier and enjoy the benefits, stealing the country and seizing power, how can it be so easy to be an emperor? No shame, Sven sweeps the floor!"

Wang Wanyan said: "How many emperors care about face? Are they gentle? Chen Chunhe is a general, how can he be gentle?"

"How many more days do we have to wait?" Su Mingyue asked from the side.

Liang Guanjing said: "Wait a few more days."

Su Mingyue said: "Continuing like this is not an option."

Liang Guanjing said: "Let them think that we are starving to death here."

Su Mingyue said: "But we have never died, they will always be suspicious, and the food hidden in the jar will be eaten one day, fortunately there was a heavy rain yesterday, so we can drink water from the water-proof tank , but there is no stove to boil, Cailian drank this water and had a stomachache all night."

Liang Guanjing said: "Are you okay?"

Su Mingyue said: "I dare not drink too much."

Liang Guanjing knew that she couldn't wait any longer, so she called the women together to discuss the specific plan of action.

The first step is for someone to come out of Yongming Palace.

Liang Guanjing said: "The two ladies went to cry outside the palace gate and said I was dead."

Su Mingyue gave her a white look, "Why don't you go out and make trouble by yourself, it's more like your style, why don't you look like the first one among us to die?"

Liang Guanjing said: "You just say that I was so angry that I cried, made trouble, and hanged myself. You two are better at it, and my concubine can't do it."

Now Wang Wanyan was not happy anymore, "Do you think when I cried, made trouble and hanged myself?"

Liang Guanjing spread his hands, "Can't you even act in a play?"

The two looked at each other, "OK."

Liang Guanjing said again: "The second step is to get out of the imperial city. The car for buying water, wine and food will go out through the west gate. You two are good at martial arts. At that time, the two ladies will lead the guards away in the front yard, and someone will come in to examine my body. , after you take advantage of the chaos, go to the imperial dining room, hide in the car at Xibianmen and escape to find reinforcements. Chen Chunhe just withdrew the city defense, and he has a lot of thoughts at once. Who is responsible for the car purchased at Xibianmen? Handover is done."

Su Mingyue expressed objection: "Who is in charge of buying and transporting the vehicles? Who is the gatekeeper at the west gate? I don't know these yet. Chen Chunhe has probably replaced most of the people in the harem. If they are discovered... "

Lianxiang said: "One needs to cover and the other to hide."

Qin Feiyang said: "Let me take cover. I have a better reputation than you two. I can pretend to beg for food, and they won't be particularly concerned about others hiding in the car."

Liang Guanjing said: "I want you to go out, they just cover up, if you can't get out, the two of them at Shenji Camp can't be mobilized."

Qin Feiyang said: "I have thought of this before. Just in case, there is a code cutout inside the Shenji Battalion. Use the code to know if I am in trouble and come forward directly, but they can still obey orders."

"That's good." Liang Guanjing nodded, and said: "After going out, first go to Liang's mansion to give a word, this time, don't be blocked on the road like Brother Xu, be smart."

Feng Xu blushed, feeling that he was too useless to cause everyone to suffer here.Su Mingyue patted her head and comforted her, "It's lucky that you didn't get slaughtered."

"Gather Ling Haoran and the people from the Shenji Camp overnight. If Qingyu is in the main hall tomorrow morning, he can directly attack the emperor. Then let my father, Old General Liang, go outside the Dragon Boat Gate to beat drums and complain. If he can Into the palace, Qing Yu is the best at speaking, and the rest will be left to them."

Su Mingyue said: "Could it be that Liang's mansion has already been guarded heavily, and no one is allowed to come in or out? Don't escape the interception halfway, but you can't get in through the door."

Liang Guanjing said: "Liang's mansion is not the palace. There are people coming and going there. If there are heavy guards, wouldn't it be an announcement to the world that something happened to me here? You think my father is a vegetarian? Chen Chunhe was his close friend back then. A guard, everyone has his own aspirations, he didn't become a guard, he became a general. But he still wants to buy my father's face. If there is no support from the Liang family outside, he is not in a hurry to get rid of me. He must have thought about it before deciding the lives of the rest of us, and by the time the Liang family thinks there is a problem, we will have starved to death in the harem anyway."

Wang Wanyan said: "Despicable!"

Liang Guanjing got up, "During the Seven Kings Rebellion, Emperor Huiwen had already been defeated, and now he still wants to come out and make trouble, dreaming!"
