On the official road outside the suburbs of Beijing, a gorgeous carriage was heading south. Behind the carriage stretched for a few miles was the mighty guard camp of Shenji Camp dressed in official uniforms.Liang Guanjing sat in the carriage with his grandson in his arms and closed his eyes to rest his mind. Han Qihao was full of food and sleep and was in good spirits. He was concentrating on playing the rattle. He was biting one of the coral beads on the drum head. Su Mingyue was afraid that he would swallow it No, grab it and don't let him play.

"Shall we go back to Nangong?" Su Mingyue asked.

Liang Guanjing said: "Shi Zhaoda's 40 troops are about to come, why don't you hurry up? Let Emperor Huiwen guard the capital."

"I don't know how your third brother and Gu Changfeng are doing?"

Liang Guanjing said: "Adding Chang Qinghe, so many people can't bring down Shi Zhaoda, so these people don't come back to see me. Even if I hold a military talisman in my hand, I can't support myself. The soldiers below are not The confidants who get along with each other day and night are not the direct descendants, only the forbidden army raised by the emperor is the direct descendant of the emperor. Even if Shi Zhaoda has an army of 40, he may not be able to command the five armies. This team will soon be disbanded. He thought it would be so easy to become emperor? Really? Depressed and insane."

Su Mingyue nodded, feeling that she was so kind to Ah Yuan, "Ever since Chen Chunhe stayed outside the city and didn't come for reinforcements, you've already figured out how to deal with Chen Chunhe after defeating Na Risong, right?"

Liang Guanjing opened her eyes slightly, looked sideways at Su Mingyue, and cast a meaningful wink at her. In Su Mingyue's eyes, she looked like a demon queen. "Be good at fighting but don't love fighting. It doesn't have to be on the battlefield to defeat an army. It's also because he stood by at the beginning. He was simply smart. If he came to the city for reinforcements and brought Emperor Huiwen with him, I really couldn't be ashamed to let him go." A one-year-old milk doll is the emperor. He probably thinks that I will lose the battle, right? To lose the people of the whole city, he only thinks that the oriole will be behind, and he will jump out to make a profit after we both lose. This kind of bastard deserves it After he enters the city, if he releases us, or stutters in the harem, I won't get a chance to kill him."

Su Mingyue sighed, "I really didn't expect that he wanted to starve us to death. He was not like this when the Liao King's rebellion was quelled."

"How many years have passed, and he has long since forgotten the love at that time. Maybe he still thinks that it was not me who saved his family, but the emperor and I sang a double reed."

Su Mingyue said: "Isn't it?"

Liang Guanjing squinted at her again, "If I don't ask Han Chengjue for this reason, can I save his family? If he really supported the old master, he should have brought Emperor Huiwen out of the mountain back then. Didn't he want to be the emperor but was greedy? He is afraid of death and saves face. After waiting for so many years, he is looking for an opportunity, but it is a pity that such a good opportunity has not been seized."

A group of people arrived at the canal pier, abandoned the car and boarded the boat. Shenjiying could no longer follow, but Qin Feiyang was reluctant to part.

"I'll go home for the next few days. Anyway, I'm not worshiping the emperor. He has nothing to do with me, and there is no one in the camp to serve as errands. I'll wait for the Queen Mother to return to Beijing." Qin Feiyang bid farewell to Liang Guanjing.

"Don't resist, just play it by ear." Liang Guanjing reminded.

Qin Feiyang said: "I know, please rest assured, Queen Mother."

Liang Guanjing smiled, and was just about to get on the boat after holding the baby, when she turned around and said, "I don't like to hear people call me queen mother, they call me old."

Qin Feiyang laughed, "What's that called?"

"You used to call me Miss when you were by my side, why don't you still call me Miss."

Su Mingyue said: "This is like an old cucumber painted with green paint, pretending to be tender."

Liang Guanjing gave her a white look, "Lianxiang Xiyu still calls me Miss."

Lianxiang said: "No, I have already called you Queen, or Empress."

Liang Guanjing tilted her head and thought, "I haven't heard what you call me recently, it's all about you and me, no big or small."

Lianxiang said: "Yes, miss! Follow orders, miss!"

Su Mingyue said: "No, since you are holding the emperor in your arms, shouldn't we respect you as the empress dowager?"

Liang Guanjing's face darkened, and everyone in the bow of the boat was laughing. The empress dowager hugged the little emperor and couldn't move her hands, so she could only stretch her legs to kick him.

Wang Wanyan walked by Shi Shiran, and whispered to Su Mingyue: "It seems that you didn't take good care of her last night?"

Su Mingyue really wanted to kick her too.

Everyone boarded the boat, and the boatman lifted anchor and was about to leave the shore, when he suddenly saw a small group of Imperial Forest Army coming on horseback, led by Zhao Huaijin, who shouted, "Stay a step, Queen Mother!"

Possessing a unique skill, Zhao Huaijin dismounted from the horse and jumped onto the bow of the boat, throwing the anchor far back to the shore, and the responders hurriedly lowered the anchor to fix it.

Liang Guanjing said: "Lord Zhao, what are you doing?"

Zhao Huaijin said: "Emperor Huiwen issued an edict to abdicate. He preferred that the great-grandson of Emperor Taizu, the grandson of Emperor Chengzong, and the son of his younger brother Tianshun Emperor, with the help of the Empress Dowager, our dynasty will surely prosper and establish a foundation for a hundred generations. With a wave of Zhao Huaijin's hand, the Imperial Forest Army on the shore pulled the iron chain, and the bow of the boat quickly came to the shore. Zhao Huaijin's confidant stepped forward and presented Emperor Huiwen's abdication edict with both hands, asking Liang Guanjing to have a look.

Liang Guanjing refused to look at it at first, but Han Qihao, who was hugged in his arms, suddenly exerted strength. He was more than one year old and had already eaten whole grains, and meatballs were also delicious.Liang Guanjing raised his hands and hugged the emperor away from him with disgust on his face. The nurse next to him quickly took the child away, and the maid Lianxiang on the other side handed over a towel to wipe his hands.

Liang Guanjing wiped the excrement and urine on his hands, but didn't clean it up much, and took a look at Emperor Huiwen's abdication edict.

"Well, he knows that once Shi Zhaoda's troops approach the city, there will be another fierce battle. Does he want me to go back and fight another battle? What about after the fight?" Liang Guanjing sneered.

Zhao Huaijin said: "Emperor Huiwen left the palace earlier today, bringing only a few guards with him."

"Aren't you going to send Emperor Huiwen off?" Liang Guanjing gave him a wink.

Zhao Huaijin smiled and said, "I am in a hurry to chase after the Queen Mother." When he met Liang Guanjing's stern gaze, he suddenly felt sorry, "This subordinate will go and send Emperor Huiwen off."

Liang Guanjing said: "Be sure to send the Buddha to the west, and don't make any mistakes on the way."

"Yes!"

After Zhao Huaijin finished speaking, she took the imperial army and galloped away from the pier.

Liang Guanjing handed the edict to Mrs. South Korea to keep it away, and looked at the heads of people standing on the pier full of pits, and some ministers from the court and China also rushed over, and they all shouted, "Liang Empress, stay a step."

Liang Guanjing waved his hand and said: "Everyone, go back. Emperor Huiwen is gone, and Shi Zhaoda from Xi'an is also proclaimed emperor now. Good birds choose trees to live in. Go and serve him."

The ministers knelt down one after another, and some even burst into tears.

"Don't worry, Shi Zhaoda, like Chen Chunhe, will not slaughter the city."

The ministers shouted: "Shi Zhaoda's ambition is to steal the country and seize power. From now on, the world will be named Shi instead of Han? How can the foundation created by Emperor Taizu be handed over to others? How can this be worthy of the ancestors?"

For a while, there were tears on the shore.

Liang Guanjing was helpless, sighed and said: "Then I will go back to the palace first, and leave in two days. If I can't defend the capital this time, then I will be powerless."

Liang Guanjing finally returned to the palace after being persuaded by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and took charge of the capital.

Every day when he went to court, Mrs. Korea carried the emperor and sat on the dragon chair. Liang Guanjing was on the right, protecting Han Qihao in the middle, and all civil and military officials kowtowed three times and shouted long live.Within two days, Liang Qingyu, who likes to flatter the emperor, came out to remind him that Liang Guanjing protected the capital and assisted the king. All civil and military officials should not only bow down to the emperor, but also to the queen of Liang.Since Liang Hou is not the queen mother now, but the empress dowager, the emperor's grandmother, the emperor should respectfully call Liang Hou the emperor's grandmother, and he should also call Liang Guanjing the emperor's ancestor when he bows down in the future.Some people think that Liang Qingyu is a bit too shameless, this flattery, some people think that the emperor's ancestor deserves it, the emperor even calls Liang Guanjing the emperor's grandmother, are you more airy than the emperor?Calling the emperor is simply elevating your status to the same level as the emperor.

Liang Guanjing thinks the Empress Dowager's name is too long, so she should call her the emperor's ancestor.

If so, then it's settled.

In May of the fourth year of Tianshun, Han Qihao, who had been emperor for more than three months, was officially enthroned in the arms of Mrs. Korea, and his year name was Zhenhua.The heavy responsibility of handling the court affairs fell on the emperor Liang Guanjing. Before the little emperor came to power, she had endless things to do every day. After going to the court in the morning, she had to discuss with the ministers during lunch. After a short break, she might have a seat in the afternoon and review at night. Memorial.

The most urgent task now is naturally to deal with the civil strife in the northwest.

Liang Qingyu invited the west to Chang'an to negotiate. He sent so many people to negotiate before, but they never returned. Shi Zhaoda detained him, and Liang Guanjing hesitated.However, Liang Qingyu couldn't hold back Liang Qingyu's hard work, and no one else in the civil and military circles of the Manchu Dynasty was willing to go, so she was a little loose.

Coincidentally, there was news from the northwest that Guanzhong had received a large harvest. The 40 troops had their food and salaries settled, and there would be surplus next year. This was troublesome. After Shi Zhaoda proclaimed himself emperor, he was not in a hurry to attack the capital, but was busy trying to win over his subordinates. , Longnan will be granted to you in a while, and Jinbei will be granted to you in a while. If you cross the Qinling Mountains and take Shuzhong, you will be the king of Shu.All the officers and soldiers below are gearing up, they have soldiers and pay, Shi Zhaoda's power is getting stronger and stronger, and when his foundation is stabilized, the capital is just like picking something out of a bag.

Han Yunmi, together with Gu Changfeng and others were detained in Xi'an by him, neither killed nor released, and Liang Xuanchen was recruited into the camp by Shi Zhaodara to worship him as a military advisor, so how could it go on like this.

Back then, for the expedition, almost all those who could fight were taken to the northwest, and there were really few decent ones in the court.If the capital expands its armaments, it will not be good for recuperation, and if there is another chaos in the south, the court will have a few days to toss.

In desperation, Liang Guanjing issued an imperial decree in August of the fourth year of Tianshun. Of course, in the name of Zhenhua Emperor Han Qihao, Liang Qingyu was asked to visit Xi'an and then negotiate with Shi Zhaoda.

Liang Qingyu was finally a little better than his uncles and brothers this time. He couldn't bring back 40 troops, so he brought back Tianshun Emperor Han Yunyi.

Liang Guanjing went into a rage in the Qianqing palace bedroom and whipped the two of them together.

"You still have the face to come back! The 40 army was buried in the northwest, but Shi Zhaoda was raised! All these things happened because of you, and the 40 army came back to you alone! What are you doing back? Why don't you Suicide and apology?!" Liang Guanjing was angry not only because of this, but now that Han Qihao has ascended the throne, so what is Han Yunyi?The Supreme Emperor is under twenty, why can't he justify it?How can one start to take care of one's life when one is weak?But let Han Yunyun continue to be the emperor, she would not agree to anything.Shi Zhaoda also felt that Emperor Tianshun was useless at the moment. With Emperor Zhenhua, the son of Emperor Tianshun, in the capital, his dream of coercing the emperor to make the princes be shattered. , People don't recognize it, say they don't know, don't know, Shangfeng has an order not to open the city gate.What about Shangfeng?I went to the capital to do business and haven't come back yet.

Emperor Tianshun had been emperor at any rate, and was Shi Zhaoda's old lord. It would be unjustifiable in any dynasty to kill the old lord.During the Western Expedition to Wara Tatar, Emperor Tianshun rushed first, and Shi Zhaoda rushed second. He had seen Emperor Tianshun's bloodthirsty appearance, and he was a little apprehensive about this handsome but violent young emperor.The guards guarding him were often accidentally dragged into the room and killed by him. His death was horrific. Keeping this man by his side could not be killed or let go. It was like a hot potato.So Liang Qingyu said that he wanted to take Emperor Tianshun away, but Shi Zhaoda didn't want a tael of silver, and even paid some travel expenses to send it back.

When she hit Han Yunyun, Liang Qingyu wanted to protect her, so she had to fight together.

"What I want is a 40 army. I want Gu Changfeng, I want your third brother, I want Chang Qinghe, and I want Shi Zhaoda's head. What's the use of him? What are you bringing him back for? You pat me on the chest and promise we can talk." !"

Mrs. Han didn't dare to persuade her. Seeing that the beating was almost over, she snatched the whip from the emperor's hand, "The emperor was young and made a big mistake. Why don't you let him go back to Nangong to guard the mausoleum? When will he change his ways?" Let him go back to Beijing."

Liang Guanjing was tired, and sat down on the edge of the bed, "Then let's do this."

Han Yunyun knelt down to thank him, Liang Qingyu hurriedly helped him up, and dragged him out before Liang Guanjing changed his mind.

Liang Guanjing said: "Come back to me, I have one thing after another here, if you don't come to help me, you go to serve a waste?"

Liang Qingyu said: "I don't trust him, and I'm afraid that something will happen to him on the way. In this way, I will send him back to Nangong. When he gets sick, only I can hold him back."

Liang Guanjing sneered, "Last time he wanted to go on a personal conquest, did you hold him back?"

Liang Qingyu said: "I shouldn't object last time, I should go with him."

Liang Guanjing looked at this, and then at that, and knew that there was no other way. His son was only under 20 years old, so he became a useless person?Now only the little uncle is willing to stay by his side, and he can't spare his own hands. The son is almost 20 years old, and he can't teach well.

"Forget it, you go back to Nangong together, good company on the way, you have to take care of him this time, don't make trouble for me again."

"Thank you for your grace!" Liang Qingyu hurriedly kowtowed.
