77 Chapter 76
Wei Yunqing stayed in Yanxi Palace for three days, during which Yang Yi came once, she closed the door and saw no one, and he could only leave in a huff.
Three days later, Wei Yunqing's face was pale and haggard, and he had lost a lot of weight, but his mental state was better than when he first heard the news that Yan Rusong was dead.
Just like Lantian said, Wei Yunqing understands the truth, what can she do except miss when someone dies? It's one thing to just understand the truth, and it's another thing to be able to do it. It took her three days to get herself out of her misery.
It's just that she can't be excited about the future. Originally, her goal was to find a way to leave the palace after fulfilling her promise, but now, Yan Rusong is dead, what's the point of her desperately leaving the palace? She still didn't want to stay in the palace, but the eagerness to leave the palace was gone. Because outside the palace, no one is waiting for her like Yan Rusong.
Wei Yunqing didn't want to stay in Yanxi Palace anymore and thought nonsense, so after cleaning up a little, he walked towards Qianqing Palace with Lantian Lucui.
The atmosphere along the way seemed a little solemn, Wei Yunqing walked all the way, and saw that the palace maids who were in a hurry all had tense faces, and he knew that the situation was indeed very bad.
She thought, Yan Rusong was originally the hero of Da Liang, and now his death is not just the fall of a Da Liang general, but also has an irreversible impact on Da Liang's morale - even he can't resist the iron cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty, who else can do it?
When Wei Yunqing came to the Qianqing Palace, the Qianqing Palace was in a mess, as if he was cleaning up something.
She passed by the panicked palace people all the way, but saw that the palace was the same, the palace people were packing up their things in a panic, and when they saw her, they hurriedly saluted, and then left quickly, busy with a solemn face.
The palace people along the way were busy, no one stopped her, and no one went to Yang Yi to report - no one stopped her to explain, Yang Yi could see how she had eyes, so naturally no one would stop her, but no one reported it but it was a little unusual.
When Wei Yunqing walked outside Yang Yi's bedroom, he heard him hurriedly shouting inside: "You also find someone for me to inform Yanxi Palace, so that they can clean up as soon as possible!" ”
Wei Yunqing walked in with his last note. Yang Yi happened to look in the direction of the door, and saw her at a glance, as if he couldn't believe it, he rubbed his eyes before he was surprised: "Sister Yunqing, you, why are you here?" Come, come and sit! ”
Seeing that Wei Yunqing's whole person had lost weight, Yang Yi felt a little pity in his heart, his voice softened a little, and he deliberately didn't mention Yan Rusong's matter, but said, "Sister Yunqing, you came just in time!" Later, you'll go pack up some valuable things, and we'll be gone in two days!" ”
When Wei Yunqing heard this, he frowned slightly: "Let's go?" Where to? ”
As soon as she said this, Yang Yi frowned, and his heart was astringent. Her voice was very hoarse, apparently she had been crying a lot in the past few days, and her throat had broken from crying. Look at her red and swollen eyes, pale lips, and haggard face...... The piles and piles all reveal her affection for Yan Rusong.
He suppressed the gloom in his heart and said in a low voice: "Sister Yunqing, you don't know, the Great Song Dynasty has been driving straight in the past few days, and it is less than three days away from Shangjing, and I don't know how long Bianzhou in the north of Shangjing can last, so we have to hurry up and go south!" ”
"What are you going to do...... Desertion? Wei Yunqing's face was incredulous.
Yang Yi's voice was bitter: "I...... I don't want to. If you don't escape, the iron cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty will break through the gate of Shangjing, and none of us will be able to escape at that time! ”
Wei Yunqing gritted his teeth and stood up, his expression was cold and hard, and his eyes flashed with anger.
"You are the emperor, and the civil and military officials of Daliang and the people of Li rely on you, but you want to abandon the city and flee? You...... What are you? Wei Yunqing said angrily, his lips trembling with anger.
"But if you don't run...... We're all going to die! Yang Yi was in a panic. He recalled how terrified he was when he faced the cruelty of the Great Song soldiers. That kind of panic and helplessness on the verge of life and death, he didn't want to try again!
"What about death?" Wei Yunqing looked at him condescendingly, and said coldly, "The Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies." You are the emperor of Daliang, the country of Daliang is broken, and you, the emperor, are dying with it, so what's the matter? ”
Yang Yi's face suddenly turned pale.
Wei Yunqing didn't seem to see it at all, and said, "What's more, you won't necessarily die." Shangjing is the capital anyway, and the Beijing camp is not a decoration, and some soldiers will be transferred around to defend the city, and the Great Song Army will break the city gate and come in, how easy is it to talk about? After a few months, the Great Song Dynasty penetrated deep into the hinterland of the Great Liang, not to mention that the supplies could not keep up, and the troops from other parts of the Great Liang could also be successfully assembled to attack the Great Song Dynasty inside and outside, so I didn't believe that they could not be dispersed! ”
Yang Yi looked at Wei Yunqing in a daze, his face suddenly changed, and he jumped up and said excitedly: "You, you want to bury Yan Rusong, don't you?" Sister Yunqing, Yan Rusong is dead, and you don't want to live anymore, you just want to pull me and the entire people of Shangjing to accompany Yan Rusong to the funeral, don't you? ”
Hearing Yang Yi mention Yan Rusong, Wei Yunqing's eyes changed, and his eyes seemed to be about to burst into tears. She forcibly suppressed the sourness in her heart, looked at Yang Yi quietly and said, "In your heart, I am such a madman?" ”
Yang Yi was speechless. Of course he knew it wasn't...... Sister Yunqing is so gentle and kind, how could she do such a thing?
Seeing that he was silent, Wei Yunqing waited for a while before continuing: "I'm calm now, and there's no time to be calmer. She has to strip away her emotions and look at herself condescendingly like an outsider, so that she doesn't cry so much, so she really didn't deceive people, and what occupies her body at this moment is already like another person.
Yang Yi looked up at her in a daze.
Wei Yunqing said: "Is there still a natural danger to defend in the south of Shangjing?" ”
Yang Yi thought about it and shook his head solemnly.
"Then where do you get the confidence that you can escape by abandoning the city and escaping? Once you lose the bronze wall of the Shangjing Wall, how can the soldiers of the Beijing camp and your twenty-six guards resist the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty? There is no natural danger to defend in the south, if you take a step back, there will be a large less area for action, and when you are forced to the southernmost side, what are you going to do? Jumping into the sea and fleeing? Do you have enough ships and enough courage to take you off the continent to the unknown? Wei Yunqing said slowly, his voice cold.
Yang Yi's face turned pale, he was completely asked, and just thinking about the prospect she had depicted for him made him feel a chill down his spine.
Wei Yunqing suddenly looked at the palace people who were busy, and raised his voice: "Don't clean up, put your things back!" ”
The palace people stopped suddenly, looked at each other and then looked at Yang Yi together.
Yang Yi gritted his teeth, and sighed under the sight of the palace people for a while: "Listen to Sister Yunqing." ”
The palace people looked at each other again, and soon took out the packed things again according to Wei Yunqing's instructions and put them back in place.
After Yang Yi's compromise, Wei Yunqing's expression on his face was not necessarily very satisfied. She nodded at Yang Yi and said in a deep voice: "Convene the cabinet, the military department, and all the people involved, we will have a meeting." ”
Yang Yi looked at her, his eyes flickering slightly.
She looked cold, as if she was talking about a trivial matter: "Before the Great Song soldiers came, we still had too many things to arrange. ”
The side hall of the Qianqing Gate was crowded with the brains of the big beams, and from time to time someone looked at Wei Yunqing, who should not have appeared here, with inexplicable eyes.
Under the eyes of everyone, Wei Yunqing did not see any panic and crampedness, the person standing next to her was Cao Jun, frowning slightly at the disrespectful gaze of the people around her, only because the occasion was wrong, and she was not allowed to attack.
Therefore, there is only one woman in this place, Wei Yunqing.
"Your Majesty, you asked Weichen to come, what are your orders?" Mao Yirong was used to treating Wei Yunqing as air, and only looked at Yang Yidao. Wei Yunqing suddenly didn't come to the cabinet one day before, he said that it was the emperor who withdrew the message, and he didn't feel much at that time, and he didn't take Wei Yunqing seriously before.
Yang Yi glanced at Wei Yunqing and said, "The Great Song Army is about to hit Shangjing, and I am looking for all Aiqing to come over to discuss how to deal with it." ”
The ministers looked at each other, their faces were not obvious, and they were already muttering in their hearts. Although Yang Yi was ready to abandon the city and flee without fanfare, he asked people to pack up their things so much, they already knew that the fast ones had already packed up their belongings, and they were waiting to flee with the emperor. Now listen to Yang Yi...... Don't run anymore?
It was naturally impossible for everyone present to ask stupid things like "Didn't you say you were going to run", at first there was a strange silence, and then under the leadership of Mao Yirong, they expressed their opinions.
Some people say that they want to issue a document and let the princes and princes in various places recruit troops to fight the Great Song Dynasty. This whimsical idea was immediately refuted. In the early years of the founding of the Great Liang Dynasty, the princes and grandsons still had the right to lead the troops, but after the collapse of Emperor Gao, some of his grandchildren were ready to move, and even raised the flag to rebel. Later, after the efforts of several generations of emperors, the matter of cutting the feudal domain was decided, and the feudal kings were naturally dissatisfied, but after a while, they could not withstand the power of the central court after all, and obediently handed over the military power. For more than 100 years after that, the vassal kings who were sealed to various places in the Great Liang only had the economic right, and no longer had the military right to lead the troops, and the prince's family could only raise a few hundred soldiers. Therefore, the kings and grandsons did not have the right to recruit troops, even if they were temporarily allowed to recruit troops, it would be impossible to solve this urgent need for a while. Moreover, if Da Liang can successfully withstand this battle, the kings and grandsons who have an army afterwards may become a new threat.
Some people said that the troops that were stationed in the south should be transferred back to guard Shangjing. It's just that the south is far away from Shangjing, and it coincides with the Nanmiao rebellion again, and the army is recalled, and the rebellion on Nanmiao's side is afraid that it will spread outward.
There are also people who are sincere, and directly say that the Great Song Dynasty is menacing, and Shangjing may not be able to resist it, so it is better to move the capital south. The so-called stay in the green mountains, not afraid of no firewood, keep a useful body, slowly figure it out, and then find a way to turn back and beat the Great Song Dynasty back in the future. This opinion was reprimanded by Cao Jun, he is not a scholar, and directly scolded the other party for being greedy for life and afraid of death, insulting Sven, and really a cowardly and incompetent coward. The official's face turned red when he was scolded, and the other officials also had a lot of opinions about Cao Jun, the eunuch, actually insulting his colleagues, but because the emperor was present, he seemed to have a very approving look on his face, and no one spoke after everyone weighed it.
Long before coming, Wei Yunqing was angry with Cao Jun and told him that this time the discussion was a strategy to defend the city and retreat from the enemy, and she also specially told Cao Jun that if she abandoned the city and retreated this time, I am afraid that everyone present will become a laughing stock in history and leave a stench for thousands of years. Cao Jun had already made up his mind to do something to shine in the annals of history, and after listening to Wei Yunqing's words, he thought for a while and made up his mind - to send his adopted sons and daughters out of Shangjing, while he stayed here, even if he really couldn't escape a dead word in the end, so that he could get a reputation with integrity. 166 Reading Network
