With Concubine Jian present, the puppet emperor could not shake the harem for the time being, so he devoted all his energy to the former dynasty, getting rid of all loyal and capable ministers, and replacing them with his confidantes.

Not long after the purge of the imperial court, the puppet emperor's throne was still hot, the Beiyuan soldiers lurking in the capital joined forces with the Beiyuan army outside, and occupied the imperial palace and the entire capital.

Jingman's dream of becoming an emperor finally woke up at this moment. It turned out that what he thought was to assist him to ascend the throne and only need a few cities as compensation afterwards was just a plan by the new king of Beiyuan to disintegrate the Great Zhou from within. His arrogance and selfishness combined with Self-righteousness led him to perish along with the entire Great Zhou.

The puppet emperor was held hostage by Beiyuan soldiers, and the capital was filled with the sounds of killing and fire engines exploding.

Concubine Jian and Princess Xueqing gathered the forbidden army in the palace together, and the concubines of the harem and the prince and princess who lived in the palace were also brought together.

Outside the palace, King Xian and Chen Xiangguo's disciples gathered all the soldiers and young adults in the capital, desperately opened the way to the palace, and joined forces with the people who had already been waiting inside the gate.

When Concubine Jian talked to the leader of the imperial army, she realized that the capital was about to be occupied by the people of Beiyuan, especially the soldiers of Beiyuan were numerous and powerful, and their equipment and weapons were much higher than ours.

Concubine Jian made a decisive decision, abandoned the capital, and fled to the south with as many subjects as possible.

Jingman's throne was not justly named, they all knew about it, but to the people, Jingman was their emperor, their heaven, their land, so Jingman was held hostage, and a large number of people He and the literati and students refused to leave, clamoring to enter the palace to rescue the Holy Majesty.

Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, the eldest prince Jing Wang came out with a group of soldiers dressed as imperial guards. Surrounded by the crowd, he came to the middle of the two sides, held the late emperor's will, and read out loudly the content of the will.

It turned out that the first emperor drafted the edict together with Chen Xiangguo half a year ago after the southern tour, passed the throne to the second prince Jing Chun, and handed over the edict to Chen Xiangguo for safekeeping.

Under the support of everyone, King Jing remembered that Chen Xiangguo found him alone more than a month ago, instigated him to rebel, and handed over the emperor's will to him for safekeeping.

After sending Chen Xiangguo away, King Jing couldn't wait to open the will to read the contents. With trembling hands, he opened the will slowly and bit by bit. Because he has some expectations, how can he take the title of "Emperor's eldest son", maybe?

However, the fact is that it should be taken for granted that he is not the heir to the throne, and the lucky person was never him, but his second brother.

Thinking about it now, at that time Chen Xiangguo was sure that he would not hand over the will to the puppet emperor, and even more believed that he would not do such things as tampering with the late emperor's will.

Facts have proved that Chen Xiangguo was right.

"Jing Man secretly forged the first emperor's imperial edict and established himself as emperor. He is unfaithful, filial and unrighteous. He is not the emperor of our Great Zhou at all! The virtuous king is!"

King Jing got off his horse and was the first to kneel down in front of Jing Chun to show his loyalty.After him, the fifth prince knelt down with other princes and princesses, concubines, and the guards of the imperial army. Seeing this, the common people also knelt down and shouted: "Long live the emperor!"

King Xian was suddenly named emperor. Although he was dazed for a moment, he immediately recovered. He raised his hand to let everyone stand up, took the imperial edict from King Jing, and said in a low voice, "Thank you."

With the real posthumous edict of the first emperor, the virtuous king was immediately surrounded by the crowd and proclaimed himself emperor. With his order, all the soldiers and young and middle-aged people fought their way to death like chicken blood.

When everyone was fighting, several young knights suddenly appeared beside King Jing.It turned out that they were killers specially hired by King Jing to assassinate the false emperor, and these killers successfully killed the false emperor.

This is also one of the things that Chen Xiangguo told him to do. Chen Xiangguo expected that there would be people behind the false emperor, and these people's plans would certainly be no less than those of the third prince proclaiming the emperor. It is very likely that Dazhou will fall into a dire situation In such a situation, if the false emperor is still there, he is likely to be manipulated by the people behind the scenes, and even used as a threat to eat away the Great Zhou!

At this time, there is only a quick knife to kill the false emperor, cut off the bargaining chips in the other party's hands, support the real new emperor, and then move the capital to another place to preserve the strength, and then slowly find a way to gradually regain the lost land.

Chen Xiangguo's strategy coincided with Jian Guifei's. The Beiyuan army was large in number and well equipped. They fought and retreated, and finally came near the south gate.

King Jing handed his wife Princess Jing to Jingchun and asked her to retreat with Concubine Jian and others. Princess Jing refused and was forced to send away by King Jing's guards.

King Jing took a deep breath, and then let it out slowly, "I have been a coward all my life, and I can finally be a hero once."

He said to Jing Chun: "Miss, she has a strong personality, please trouble you. You emperor must do well, otherwise I will not be able to let you go in the underworld!"

Apart from thanking him, Jing Chun didn't know how to respond to him.A gust of wind blew, and King Jing traveled farther and farther with the gust of wind.

Jing Chun got off his horse, knelt down and kowtowed to King Jing and the guards who were leaving, then jumped back on his horse and left the capital with his subjects.

King Jing led the rest of the soldiers and his guards to guard the south gate to prevent the Beiyuan army from approaching.At this time, King Jing did not expect that Princess Jing did not follow the large army immediately after leaving, but stayed around the capital, but happened to meet Jing Shen Situ Meng and others who brought the vanguard back to Beijing.

King Jing fought from the south gate to the outskirts of the north gate, and the soldiers and guards around him had already died in sevens and eighties, leaving only him, the two guards around him who had been with him for a long time, and the few hired knights.

Knowing that his fate is doomed to escape disaster, he only hates that he was always lazy in the martial arts lessons when he was a prince, otherwise he would have killed a few more Beiyuan troops.

He was preparing for the final desperate fight, and was about to detonate the fire mechanism on the armor with his companions who had fought side by side until now, but unexpectedly, Situ Meng and others appeared together with Princess Jing.

Like the heavenly soldiers, Jing Shen and the others caught the Beiyuan army by surprise as soon as they appeared, and took the opportunity to take King Jing and the others away.

Immediately after King Jing was lifted up by Princess Jing, he sat behind Princess Jing in a daze. After a while, he suddenly realized the reality that he was not dead, and wept with joy.

Princess Jing heard the crying behind her and said disgustedly: "Be careful of your snot and tears, don't get it on my back!"

Jing Wang cried and agreed. He was covered in dirt, which is rare for him who has always been obsessed with cleanliness, but he didn't mind the blood stains on his body. This was a rare time for him to stand up like a man and play the role of protector. It was his glory!

"Why did you meet together?" Finally finished crying, King Jing was curious about the strange match of this group of people.

Jing Shen said: "Amon, my second uncle and I heard the news from the capital, and led the vanguard to come. On the way, we met Princess Jing, and she asked us to help rescue you."

"By the way, why are you the only one? Where are the others? Where did my mother and concubine go?"

"I stayed behind with a team of imperial guards to guard the city gate to prevent the Beiyuan army from passing through, creating opportunities for them to escape. After this day and night passed, the imperial concubine and the others should already be on their way to Jiangnan."

Jing Shen nodded, "Which direction are they going?"

"It went out from the south gate," King Jing said, "It's south anyway, so I don't know which way to go." At that time, King Jing was killing the enemy and didn't pay attention to them.

Concubine Jing knew a little more than him, "It seems to be taking the official road, I saw it."

The depth of field and Jian Feihan looked at each other, and the two tacitly led the army behind them to chase in the direction pointed by Princess Jing.

The vanguard walked for several days, but they never met Concubine Jian and the others.At this time, a message from the Jian family army came, saying that the front line was defeated, and they are currently retreating with the remaining soldiers and civilians in a hurry.

"It seems that we can't catch up with them, why don't we rest in place and wait for the arrival of the large troops from the front line?" Jian Feihan suggested.

Both Jing Shen and King Jing expressed no objection, and Situ Meng was more than happy. In this way, he finally had time to study the fire mechanism armor and weapons on the soldiers. Depth of Field also asked some sets of Beiyuan Army armor for Situ Meng to study. .

At the beginning, Jian Feihan didn't care about this, only Jing Shen stood aside expectantly. The common people and officers and soldiers who escaped from Pingcheng chose a relatively safe city to settle down on the road, so they witnessed Situ Meng's death with their own eyes. Depth of Field was the only one who displayed the power of fire mechanism weapons.

When Situ Meng was studying the equipment of the Beiyuan Army, a soldier came and told Jing Shen that a young man who called himself "Li Yue" wanted to see them.

Hearing this, Situ Meng stopped what he was doing, and said happily, "It's Xiaoyue! He's here too?!"

But Jing Shen frowned, with a bad premonition in his heart, "He's the only one?" Seeing the soldier nodding, his premonition was even worse, "Let him in."

Sure enough, Li Yue came in alone. When he saw Jing Shen and Situ Meng, he couldn't stop crying.

Situ Meng immediately stepped forward to comfort him, and asked softly, "What's the matter? Why are you crying suddenly? Where's your father?"

Li Yue paused, his body trembling slightly, "Daddy is dead! There are also a few uncles and aunts in the ranch, they are all...they are all gone!"

"How come..." Situ was stunned, he was fine when he left, why did he suddenly disappear?

While crying, Li Yue explained to them that the ranch was favored by the Beiyuan Army, and because Lao Li didn't want these important military assets to fall into his hands, he took the entire ranch and blew himself up.

After Situ Meng and Jing Shen finished listening, they were both silent, feeling sad and angry in their hearts.

The world is precarious, and human life is like a mustard.There are many, many people like Lao Li, but they can't do anything right now. The equipment and the number of troops are behind. This is the original sin, and it can't be solved by anger alone.

**

A few days ago, twenty miles outside the south gate of the capital.

Concubine Jian and others escaped from the capital under the cover of King Jing, but what they didn't expect was that there was a group of Beiyuan troops outside the capital, and the number was no less than that in the capital.

The large army fled to the south desperately, but no matter how they ran, the Northern Plains army was like a poisonous snake, following them like a shadow, biting them.

The sound of iron hooves of Beiyuan soldiers was getting closer and closer, but the group of them who escaped from the capital were all old and weak, women and children. Naturally, they couldn't hurry up if they had to take care of these people.The only solution is to leave a group of people behind to hold back the soldiers of Beiyuan and make time for these people to retreat.

This point can be thought of by many fugitives, but who stays and who goes is a problem: those who stay and procrastinate must have no possibility of surviving.

Those who can break through the siege and escape from the capital must want to live. There are people who are willing to sacrifice their lives for others, but among these people, there are very few who can take on this important task, and they are all talented people. , if someone can stand up and replace him, he will definitely not compete to be the one who stands out.

Concubine Chen Gui naturally also thought of these powerful relationships. She lifted the curtain in the carriage, turned her head to look at the smoky capital city, and then turned her head to look at the blue sky and green land far ahead.

"Stop!" she said.
