Chapter 512: Oriole (6)

   Mu Yangling put the two children on the couch and let them play together, Lichun carefully avoided the eyes and ears outside, and whispered: "Fourth grandma, do you want to find a way to pass the news to the outside?"

Mu Yangling glanced at her lightly and said, "Don't make up your own mind, we just need to live in the palace with peace of mind."

At this time, it's better to be quiet, and to rush out without knowing any news, is it because you think you're not dying fast enough?

In the afternoon, Li Jinghua went to the palace where the Yuan family lived to visit the old lady Yuan. Only then did she know that it was not only the two of them who were brought into the palace to serve the illness, but also the family members of the other three generals. All of them held ten The military power of an army of more than 10,000 people.

Among them, General Yuan and Qi Xiuyuan were mainly taken care of because they held heavy troops and were far away from Jiangnan. The two of them were arranged in the annexed palace of Kunning Palace, but the other three were also arranged to live in the harem, all of which were used to serve the queen. excuse.

But not only female relatives came to the palace, but also young children and old ladies. Obviously, these two types of people were the main hostages.

If your wife is gone, you can remarry, but men have always attached more importance to blood. Unless they are really cold-blooded ambitions, they rarely give up their children, not to mention their mothers.

If they could even give up their mother, wife and children, the emperor would have to praise them for being cruel, but such people must be very few who are willing to follow, and the other party has lost from the very beginning.

Of course, the emperor's behavior of taking his courtiers and family members as hostages will also be criticized, but he has capital and willfulness. As a courtier, do you have it?

Detaining the hostages in the palace gave the emperor a lot of peace of mind. He sent an order to take care of the officials and family members who entered the palace and served illnesses. Whatever requests they had, they would agree to everything they could, as long as they didn’t spread news or leave the palace. Just do it.

General Yuan is very filial, and the old lady Yuan is in the palace. As long as she is well, General Yuan will definitely not dare to do anything. As for Qi Xiuyuan, although he has no mother, he is so old that he has his first son. .

The emperor expressed regret for the discord between Qi Feng and Qi Xiuyuan, otherwise he would definitely have more confidence in holding Qi Feng.

Qi Feng, who was outside the palace, was both indignant and happy at this time.

Indignant that his status with his son is so low that he is not even qualified to be a hostage. Fortunately, he does not have to be a hostage...

The outside was in chaos because of the sudden war, and the waves were surging because of the emperor's actions. The palace was completely isolated from the outside world, but two days later, they still learned something one after another.

For example, the battle between the imperial army and the bandits became increasingly fierce, and both sides suffered heavy losses. Just before the emperor sent the recruiting officials to go out to Jingnan Road, a group of bandits shot and killed the leading marshal, and the army was in chaos without a leader.

The bandits took the opportunity to attack the city and capture the land. At the same time, the southwest and northwest borders were in emergency, and the Xixia army was pressing. When the emperor received the 800-mile emergency, the other party had already captured five county towns. The national army is pressing down on the border, and it has to violate the border on a large scale. General Yuan and Qi Xiuyuan have negotiated to jointly boycott the Jinbing.

This made the emperor who had planned to dispatch Qi Xiuyuan back to give up his mind. The flames of beacon were everywhere, and the war seemed to have ignited throughout the entire week overnight. The emperor was so worried that his eyebrows turned white.

How proud he was before, how much he regrets now.

He originally thought that he killed the men of Qin Prime and put the blame on the bandits, so that he could take out the power of Qin Prime, and take the opportunity to send a large army to suppress the bandits who were always inexhaustible, so as to completely control the Jingnan Road, but he did not Expecting the mantis to catch the cicada oriole, now he has become the mantis to be killed by the oriole.

Now he can't see whether the things he did at the time were also written by Xixia and Jin Guo. He only knew that now he was in trouble both at home and abroad, and he couldn't be neglected at all, otherwise he would fall into the abyss.

Emperor's hair turned half white overnight, and for the first time, watching the beacon-filled country regretted its original impulse.

But no matter how much he regrets it, he will have to hold on. In short, Da Zhou cannot subjugate his country at his hands, otherwise, he will really become a sinner through the ages.

At this time, what the emperor feared most was that his generals would also turn against him, so he had no choice but to invite the families of these generals into the palace.

The emperor did not intend to hide the news from his family members. He successively asked people to release the news from the outside to these officials and family members, but he wanted to win their support. He hoped that they could write letters to the generals who were leading troops abroad, so that they could take it out with peace of mind. Soldiers, serve the country.

The emperor wanted to give some news a day, then cry about his difficulties, and finally let them write letters, but the situation is not optimistic. He receives news of losing the city and losing the battle every day, not only at the border, but also at the domestic rebellion. It spreads from Jingnan Road. If it is not stopped, the entire Jiangnan will be involved in the rebellion and war. The emperor has no choice but to disclose all the news to those family members within two days, hoping that they can consider for the country and encourage their sons. Or her husband guards the country for him.

The Emperor    felt that the city was lost so quickly, apart from the fact that they lost their fighter planes, the biggest reason was that the generals were unwilling to do their best. Otherwise, how could the 800,000 army be so vulnerable?

Now, his gold medals and imperial decrees are of little use, and he can only place his hopes on family letters from his family members, hoping that they can take care of their relatives and serve the country.

The emperor conveyed this through the empress, and everyone looked towards the Yuan family.

Five generals, so far, General Yuan has over 260,000 soldiers, Qi Xiuyuan has 150,000 soldiers, and the other three generals can only reach 100,000. In addition, the Yuan family has a very strong reputation. Act according to Yuan Family's will.

The Queen    also looked towards the Yuan family and said with a smile, "How long has it been since the old lady wrote a letter to General Yuan? It's good to take this opportunity to greet you."

Mrs. Yuan lowered her eyes and said lightly, "Thank you for your concern, the Queen, but I don't know how to read and I have never written a letter to him. If the Emperor sends a letter to my son, just send me a few words."

The queen smiled and looked at Madam Yuan, and said with a smile that was not a smile: "The emperor's decree is an imperial decree, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient to communicate with the old lady, but when Mrs. Yuan writes a letter to the general, she can take it for the old lady. At that time, the imperial court will send people to send it quickly, and General Yuan should be able to receive it after a while."

The Queen was worried that Mrs. Yuan would refuse to let her down again, so she smiled and said, "Okay, go back and write a letter first, and I'll send someone to fetch it later."

Everyone glanced at Mrs. Yuan, and all lowered their eyes.

Everyone stood outside the palace gate and looked at the indifferent Mrs. Yuan and Mrs. Yuan. They wanted to step forward to inquire, but under the eyes of the palace maids and the servants, they did not dare to go forward.

Li Jinghua only glanced at the Yuan family, then pulled Mu Yangling away.
