Chapter 521： It broke our hearts

Although the court tried very hard to restore order, the situation was still gradually deteriorating. Not long after Qi Haoran returned, the Jingzhou Mansion on the east road and the Jiading Mansion on the west road fell one after another, while Jingnan Road was completely occupied by rebels. The bandits have formed an alliance and are gathering to Lin'an City. The vanguard has reached Longxing House.

Longxing Mansion to Lin'an City is only a twelve-day march, three days for cavalry, two days for one man and two horses to gallop...

Emperor Jingyan panicked like never before, but the court had no use for anyone.

All available generals were dispatched, and Emperor Jingyan had to consider using Qi Haoran.

But Qi Xiuyuan already had a 150,000-strong army and was far away at the border. It would be too dangerous to hand over part of the forbidden army to Qi Haoran.

When Qi Haoran came back, he had no plans to let him out of Beijing again.

Taifu Yan dragged his sick body into the palace tremblingly and begged: "Your Majesty, this is not the time to hesitate. Brother Qi Xiuyuan's family members are in the palace, and Qi Haoran values ​​his wife and children. As long as he can take care of them, he will be able to Hold brother Qi Xiuyuan."

Taifu Yan hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, Da Zhou is in danger, you can't hesitate any longer."

The    emperor took a deep breath and ordered: "I order Qi Haoran to be the general of the bandit suppression, lead 20,000 forbidden troops and 30,000 local troops, and go to Longxing Mansion immediately."

Taifu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, but Emperor Jingyan was full of exhaustion, "Taofu, even if you defend Longxing Mansion, there is Jin Kingdom in the north, and Xixia in the west, it is difficult for me to protect Da Zhou. The teacher said what should you do, sir ?"

Emperor Jingyan covered his face and cried for a rare occasion. Eunuch Bai's eyes darkened, and he waved his hands to drive out all the servants. He also left quietly, closed the door, and stayed outside.

Mrs. Yan looked at the emperor for a while with cloudy eyes, and finally sighed slightly. He was already sixty-eight this year, and he could feel the limit. He sat tremblingly on the steps and looked at the pillar not far away. daze.

Emperor Jingyan walked up to Taifu Yan and followed him on the same level, "Teacher, please show the students another way."

Taifu Yan smiled wryly. At this moment, he couldn't help but resent Emperor Jingyan, and he rushed out the question, "Will you do as I say?"

Emperor Jingyan's eyes dimmed before he nodded slightly, "As long as the teacher said it, the students will do it."

Taifu Yan's turbid eyes shot a fierce light. He turned his head to look at the emperor beside him, his chest heaving with anger, but he couldn't vent his anger. Looking at the reddish emperor at the corners of his eyes, all his anger melted. Did nothing.

This is his own student, but also the emperor who pushed the throne by himself. He has been an emperor for more than 20 years. He is no longer the little prince who was more than respectful, but lacked intelligence but treated others with sincerity. An emperor should have a little ambition and suspicion. There are also many, but the ingenuity has not increased by a single star. Instead, it looks stupid because of the inconsistent ambition and suspicion, but isn't he the one who caused all this?

If he had chosen the high-spirited sixth prince, would the situation be better?

Taifu Yan shook his head slightly, not necessarily, everything is not necessarily, how is it so simple to manage a country, the sixth prince is ambitious, smart enough, but too hard-edged, has too much opinion on the family and the powerful, and ascending the throne may not be possible Better than Emperor Jingyan, thinking of this, Mrs. Yan felt a little better.

Taifu Yan's mind was up and down, and he was silent for a long time. If the other person's eyes were still open, the emperor would have thought he was asleep. Just when Emperor Jingyan couldn't help but urge again, Taifu Yan said sternly: " Let's make peace."

Emperor Jingyan's heart skipped a beat, and he asked expectantly, "What did the teacher say about making peace with the rebels?"

Taifu Yan showed a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth and asked, "The emperor wants to make peace with the rebels?"

Emperor Jingyan was silent, knowing that he had provoked Taifu Yan, Taifu Yan stretched out his hand and grabbed the railing on his right hand, stood up tremblingly, and said with some crying: "Make peace with Jin Guo and Xixia."

After finishing the sentence, tears fell from Taifu Yan's eyes, drop by drop on the smooth floor of the palace. Emperor Jingyan felt a pain in his heart, opened his mouth, but could not utter a single syllable.

Mrs. Yan obviously didn't want to listen to what the emperor said anymore. He walked out step by step. Tears fell like pearls with a broken thread. He opened the door with both hands, and Eunuch Bai who was standing outside heard the sound and turned around and looked When his eyes were red and tears were flowing, Mrs. Yan was stunned for a moment, and then she stepped forward cautiously and asked, "Mrs. Yan, what's wrong with you?"

Mrs. Yan Fu stared at Eunuch Bai for a while, then turned his head, moved him to the side, and walked out step by step.

Eunuch Bai was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to support his arm and shouted, "Oh, Mrs. Yan, what's the matter with you? The miscellaneous family called Bu Huo to carry you..."

Mrs. Yan waved him away and said dumbly, "No."

was so powerful that he directly waved Eunuch Bai three steps back.

Father-in-law Bai did not expect that the elderly and seriously ill Mrs. Yan would be so strong, and was very surprised. With this stunned effort, Mrs. Yan had already taken several steps.

Knowing that the other party was stubborn, Eunuch Bai didn't dare to go forward and ask the other party to sit down, but he called two servants and two bodyguards to follow him.

Mrs. Yan seemed to be completely unaware of the people and things behind him. He just walked out step by step. Eunuch Bai looked at him from behind and felt that Mrs. Yan's back was bent a lot.

As soon as he thought about it, Eunuch Bai laughed at himself. Mrs. Yan was so old, it was normal for her to bend her back.

Eunuch Bai turned around and went back to the palace, but as soon as one leg entered the threshold, a cup flew towards his head. Eunuch Bai didn't dare to hide, so he could only bow his head slightly and let the cup fly over his head. The emperor's majestic scolding sounded. : "Get out!"

Eunuch Bai stepped back out of the door in fear, and closed the door again.

On this day, Mrs. Yan walked from the Chongzheng Hall to the gate of the palace alone. The officials who went back and forth to report the matter were slightly surprised when they saw this, and then they respectfully stood aside and saluted. Mrs. Yan walked step by step from them as if he hadn’t seen them. Pass.

Although everyone was surprised, they only thought that Mrs. Yan was worried about the current situation. After a long time, officials who had seen this scene would only realize how heart-wrenching Mrs. Yan was in retrospect.

Mrs. Yan staggered to the gate of the palace. The guards saw him crumbling, so they rushed forward to support him, but Mrs. Yan pushed him away. He couldn't help but complain in a low voice, "Grandpa, how did the emperor let you come out?"

It should be known that since Mrs. Yan got old, every time he entered the palace, as the teacher of the emperor, he could take a step or a soft sedan chair.

Mrs. Yan didn't answer, but held the headmaster's hand and turned to look up at the palace, his eyes full of sadness.
