Chapter 868 Dignity
Chapter 868 Dignity
Li Mao had counted the time, Bai Qing said that unless he had wings, he would definitely not be able to lead his troops back in May.
Seeing that everyone was overwhelmed by the news of Princess Zhen Guo's return, Shen Jingzhong suddenly turned around and raised his sword and stabbed in the direction of King Liang. The imperial guards shouted: "Mr. Lu! Master Dong, Master Lu, run!"
"Protect Your Majesty!" Fan Yuhuai shouted while protecting King Liang behind him, drawing his sword.
King Liang was wearing an extremely heavy dress, and was pulled back by Fan Yuhuai, fell to the ground, was helped up by the imperial army, and fled into the hall.
King Liang shouted furiously: "Kill them! Not one left! Kill them all!"
Seeing this, the prince stumbled to his feet, rushed to the white marble fence, and hid with his head in his arms.
The court ministers who were being escorted to kneel in front of the main hall got up one after another, bumping away from the imperial guards beside them, and fled indiscriminately.
Outside the main hall, there was a sudden chaos.
"Report..." Another spies rushed up and cried, "Report Your Majesty! Princess Zhen Guo is leading the army to fight fiercely with the Pingyang army. The Yuanping rebels and Shuoyang rebels opened the gates of the capital when they saw this. Pingyang The army is under attack!"
Fan Yuhuai, Li Mao and others opened their eyes wide. They didn't expect Bai Qingyan to come back so quickly. It's only been a few days... Did Bai Qingyan have wings? Could it be that the generals who defended the city where Bai Qingyan led the army did not resist?
"Lord Fan!" Li Mao hurriedly squeezed to Fan Yuhuai's side and grabbed Fan Yuhuai's arm, "Princess Zhenguo is back, and our hope is on the Pingyang army. We can no longer defend the palace to death. We should send the imperial army to kill the emperor." If the Pingyang army is gone, we will lose all hope!"
Liang Wang threw away Fan Yuhuai who was protecting him: "There is no hope, have you forgotten? We still have a bargaining chip! Bai Qing said that the purpose of raising troops to serve the king is my father and prince. We have My royal father... and the prince, what are you afraid of! Go... and capture the prince!"
King Liang claimed to the outside world that the abolished prince assassinated the emperor, the imperial physician was unable to return to heaven, and the emperor died, but in fact... King Liang did not attack his father.
He ordered Emperor Jin to be put under house arrest. He wanted to save Emperor Jin's life and let Emperor Jin see with his own eyes that even without the support of Emperor Jin, he could justifiably sit on the throne.
He even wanted the Jin Emperor, who had been refusing to order himself to vindicate Concubine Tong and the second prince, to watch how he reversed the case for Concubine Tong and the second prince.
Although Li Mao and Fan Yuhuai disagreed at the time, they never expected that keeping the emperor would give them an extra bargaining chip.
Soon, the crown prince, who was so frightened that he was trembling and unable to stand up, was dragged in by the forbidden army.
Li Mao said to King Liang again: "Even so, we must save the Pingyang army!"
"Fan Yuhuai, you send 20,000 forbidden troops out of the city to help the Pingyang army, and then send 5,000 people to push the deposed prince up to the tower. As long as Bai Qing dares to attack the city, immediately push the deposed prince down! Order these 5,000 people to delay as long as possible to defend Imperial City."
King Liang's voice was calm, as if he had already made up his mind: "The remaining 5,000 people... immediately escort me and you all to sneak out of the capital city from the east gate. As long as the father is in our hands, they will be considered to have broken through the capital city." What does it matter! Our foundation is still there!"
Li Mao made some calculations in his mind, and nodded: "Your Majesty's words are true! However, I thought that... pushing the deposed prince off the tower would arouse the rebels to attack the city more quickly, and... the late emperor The news of his passing has spread, if Bai Qingyan is only loyal to the crown prince and does not recognize the emperor, then it will be troublesome!"
Liang Wang nodded, thinking that what Li Mao said was right, and ordered Fan Yuhuai to follow the instructions.
Fan Yuhuai sent an order immediately.
Li Mao and Chu Zhongxing got together to discuss where they should go. Chu Zhongxing thought that they should go to Guangling City. In front of Guangling City, there was a natural danger of Guanghe Canal, which was always easy to defend and difficult to attack, but Li Mao thought that they should go to Luohong City.
However, Li Mao felt that Guangling City was too close to the State of Yan. Instead of going to Guangling City, it would be better to go to Luohong City on the north side of the Guanghe Canal. Now Luohong City is building the Guanghe Canal with soldiers and food, and it is close to Yanwo. The Guanghe Canal has been repaired... ...Yan Wo will become a huge granary for Jin, and it must not be lost!
"Although our strength is only enough to go out from the east gate, after leaving the city, we should disperse in all directions...to confuse the pursuers! Buy time for Your Majesty!" Li Mao tapped his fingers on the map and said in a low voice. , "It's best for His Majesty's team to be light and simple, and it doesn't matter if the team next to it is bigger and bigger. The main purpose is to attract the pursuers! Besides, your Majesty's whereabouts must not be known to others except you and me!"
Liang Wang didn't listen to what Li Mao and Chu Zhongxing were saying at all, he sat on the dragon chair, only stared at the waste prince who stretched his neck and looked out, and sneered: "Why...you still expect Bai Qingyan to call in Then embrace you as the emperor? Look at your current appearance... in front of so many courtiers, I wagged my tail and begged for mercy, and even peed my pants twice, and the smell is still there! Would you like to sit on this chair?"
Liang Wang rubbed the dragon chair with his fingers, his eyes seemed to be holding a knife.
Hearing this, the deposed prince withdrew his gaze, and felt more and more that his body was still wet... the chilly feeling made him feel ashamed.
Wetting his pants, begging for mercy at King Liang... He really can't hold his head up!
But at that moment of life and death, how could the abandoned prince care about his dignity?
"Your Majesty..." Li Mao said at the right time, "Your Majesty's humble minister and the Minister of the Household Department have already discussed it properly. Please pack lightly and travel lightly, and prepare to set off with your ministers immediately."

Outside the metropolis.
The moment the black sail and white python flag appeared from the billowing dust brought by thousands of troops, the generals of the Pingyang army panicked. He knew that the one who was fighting against them in the capital city was Bai Zhenguo, the sister of Princess Zhen. Jinxiu, so when the black sail and white python flag representing the Bai family appeared, it must have come to help Bai Jinxiu.
When Wang Meng, the general of the Pingyang army, saw a fast horse rushing to the front, a woman with a white horse, silver armor, and a red cloak hunting, holding a sun-shooting bow, one head and two big ones suddenly turned out to be the princess of Zhenguo personally leading the troops. .
Hearing the cheers of the rebels on the walls of the capital city, and Bai Jinxiu's order to open the city gates to attack from inside and outside, according to the situation in wartime, at this time... the Pingyang army should withdraw quickly.
But... Wang Meng, the general who led the Pingyang army, knew in his heart that if he withdrew at this moment, the troops led by Princess Zhen Guo would enter the capital city, and the imperial city would be in danger! Your Majesty is in danger!
