Chapter 102

This year is probably the most tasteless year in Beijing.

On the eve of the war, the commander-in-chief was afraid to run away, leaving only 3000 people to defend Taiyuan. The siege of Taiyuan has not yet been solved, and the capital has been approached ten miles away.

On the 16th of the first month, it is said that Xie xuanchen will fight. The news is true or false. People don't know who to believe. Suddenly, it is said that Xie xuanchen will take Mu Mingtang to fight, or they will refuse to fight. The emperor angrily left, he and Xie xuanchen confrontation for a few days, after all, the emperor can't wait, and finally compromise, such as Xie xuanchen's intention. But as a price, Xie xuanchen can only take 8000 people.

From 100000 to 8000, the gap is not small. They all lamented that Wang An's ambition, heroism and love for children had ruined his own affairs. Unexpectedly, Xie xuanchen was not dissatisfied at all. He personally went to the barracks to select 8000 soldiers, 21 soldiers, and left that afternoon.

Jiang Mingwei is flustered this year. She listened to the constant movement in the next room all day yesterday, even herself. After noon today, king an's house next door suddenly quieted down.

Jiang Mingwei didn't go out to see it, but she had already guessed: "king an and Princess an, are they gone?"

"Yes." The servant girl went out to see the road, and when she came back, she told Jiang Mingwei, "although the officials didn't say that, many people on the roadside were watching. Princess an's carriage was followed by three cars, each of which was full. It was just the way out of the city, but king an came back to pick it up. The maidservants watched their motorcade drive out of Zhuque street, and the rest of them could not be seen

Jiang Mingwei sighs. These days, not only mu Mingtang is packing things, but also Jiang Mingwei is secretly packing up her life. According to the plot, yeluji will soon cross the river smoothly and face the city. One hundred thousand imperial guards in Tokyo were beaten to pieces, and the capital was lost. The emperor, his concubines in the harem, and many of his relatives, ministers and nobles were in a panic, so they had to leave in a hurry. Along the way, they lost a lot of money, slaves and maidservants. When they were in a critical situation, they even lost their sons and daughters. They were very embarrassed to be chased.

It was not until I crossed the river that I finally got better. After the battle, the emperor was afraid of the north, so he simply returned to Lin'an, where he once settled, to build the capital and set up a new court in Lin'an.

Lin'an is backed by a natural moat, and the imperial court has established its capital. It flourished in a few years, and its prosperity is as prosperous as that of Tokyo. The royal family got used to the comfort of the South and gradually became addicted to it. Later, some people proposed to accept the old capital of Tokyo, but many people in the court did not want to.

The emperor lost his vitality all the way to the south. When he returned to Lin'an, his breath relaxed and his body collapsed quickly. Along the way, Xie Xuanji stepped forward. He was a young man and decisive. He was very dependent on the empress, the Empress Dowager and other women and children. Even the emperor gradually gave him the power to arrange the itinerary. Xie Xuanji completely replaced the emperor and became the spiritual leader of the group. After Lin'an settled down, Xie Xuanji naturally became the prince.

Before long, the emperor died of illness and passed the throne to Xie Xuanji. After he ascended the throne, Xie Xuanji made great efforts to promote his cronies. However, although Xie Xuanji was ambitious, the way to accept his native land was not smooth.

After the emperor and others abandoned the city and fled, Tokyo became a lamb under the iron feet of Beirong people. Yeluji only carried the treasures captured from the imperial palace for three months, and the people were slaughtered. Young people died of sharp blades, and countless young women were ruined. Tokyo, once a bustling city, was reduced to an empty city.

The royal family fled to the south, and a large area of land in the North was handed over to the people. Many people in the folk refused to submit to Beirong, and they struggled to organize resistance forces in various places to survive. Many of the generals who stayed in the area or refused to follow the imperial court to the South defended the city and fought against Beirong. Although these cities fought hard against foreign enemies, they were far away from each other and had no unified leadership, so they had to fight separately. They repeatedly asked the imperial court for help, but did not come. They watched themselves become a lonely city, and finally, like a burnt out spark, they fought hard to extinguish it.

Taiyuan, Hejian, Zhongshan, Xiangyang No one can survive. At first, adult men guarded the city, then they were teenagers, and finally, even women went to the wall to fight.

Looking south year after year, the imperial reinforcements never came.

The northern resistance forces were put out one by one, and the Northern Expedition became an empty talk in Juan of Ye Dynasty. Five or six years after Xie Xuanji ascended the throne, he was conceited that he would recuperate during his reign, and the Treasury was abundant. He also had the idea of crossing the river when he had finished yanduo. However, until Jiang Mingwei's death, he never heard of Xie Xuanji's success in going north.

At one time, Jiang Mingwei didn't pay much attention to these, because she was yeluyan's favorite concubine in her previous life. Later, yeluyan succeeded in competing for the throne, and she became the concubine of Beirong emperor. The war in Ye Dynasty was no different from a play. But now that she has changed her camp, Jiang Mingwei has become the princess of the Ye Dynasty. When she recalls the treatment of those aristocratic women's families of the Ye Dynasty who were captured in Beirong, she feels shivering.

Jiang Mingwei doesn't want to try at all. Although she is a man's wife, according to the truth, a man's woman will not fall into the hands of outsiders, but things happen on their own, no one can be indifferent. Jiang Mingwei secretly made many preparations to ensure that she would be the first to escape when the Tokyo siege crisis came.She heard that Xie xuanchen had gone to court and argued with the emperor in the early court. She also heard that the emperor agreed to Xie xuanchen's request, but only gave him 8000 people. Now, Jiang Mingwei heard that Mu Mingtang left with Xie xuanchen.

Jiang Mingwei suddenly gives birth to a sense of melancholy. She can't understand why Xie xuanchen wants to take Mu Mingtang, and why Mu Mingtang is willing to leave the respectable Tokyo and go out with Xie xuanchen. It's very hard to be with a servant girl.

Not to mention, Xie xuanchen eight thousand shoulder the opposite hundred thousand, this trip is very likely, is in the past to die.

In the end, Jiang Mingwei, like many wives in Tokyo, half sighed and half said sarcastically, "the hero is sad about the beauty pass. Wang An and Princess an have a good relationship. They are really fairy lovers."

This time, the staff is greatly reduced. Mu Mingtang only takes her servant girl who she is used to and can trust to go out. Other maidservants who have not been ordered, Jane, feel very excited. Mu Mingtang cleans up her hands, and the Chiang family brings her dowries. She doesn't touch them either. She only brings her personal furnishings, soft clothes, and gold.

At this time, she was very lucky that she had collected a lot of gold. Now it seems that she not only made the best use of the emperor's money, but also saved her life in troubled times. Because Mu Mingtang wants to go with the army, she excuses that this is her dowry, but in fact, she fills the box with gold. She moves into the carriage and goes with Xie xuanchen.

Mu Mingtang was protected at the core of the Chinese Army's marching array. Although Xie xuanchen said where he was and where Mu Mingtang was, Mu Mingtang was a married woman and could not go to the front line. Xie xuanchen didn't really want to let Mu Mingtang go to the battlefield. He just wanted to take Mu Mingtang out of the capital and put him beside him.

He knew his uncle so well that he couldn't trust the emperor.

So after driving out of Tokyo, Xie xuanchen put Mu Mingtang in the nearest town, and he took people to camp by the river, ready to fight.

Qinghe town was built on the river and made a living by it. Mu Mingtang's carriage drove into a local squire's courtyard, which was one of the most spacious and luxurious in Qinghe town. It was said that the princess of king an would be expropriated, so she was busy.

They were going to move to another house. Mu Mingtang couldn't bear to let the host's house make room for them, so she said no, she only occupied one or two rooms.

She came out with only five servant girls, and the rest stayed in the palace. Those people were originally from the palace. If the emperor wanted to vent his anger, he would not vent his anger on his subordinates. Mu Mingtang left them to live and die in the palace.

In addition to the five servant girls, the little Taoist also followed. It's natural that Xie xuanchen's cure depends on the little Taoist. Neither Mu Mingtang nor Xie xuanchen will tear down the bridge and leave the little Taoist alone in the capital. Besides, Xie xuanchen's army is out, so there is no shortage of military doctors.

The little Taoist had to leave the capital completely, so he had a good breath.

Five servant girls took down the table, carpet, curtain and other things from the carriage. While decorating, they complained that the squire Zhao's house was too small and cramped. They really wronged the princess. Hearing the frown, Mu Mingtang said, "we are on the road, thanks to the Zhao family for providing us with shelter from the wind and rain. How can we choose before we have time to thank you? Don't say any more of these words later. After you go out, you must restrain yourself and don't cause any trouble to your master's house. "

The servant girls were scolded by Mu Mingtang and bowed their heads. In a short time, the house of Mr. Zhao was transformed into a new one. There was a Suzhou embroidery screen inside and outside. The bed in the inner room was full of bedclothes and curtains brought by the king's house. Outside the screen were sitting tables and tea tables. Under the collapse was a thick and gorgeous carpet. Even if you step on it barefoot, it won't be cold.

When Zhao's wife brought her daughter to pay respects to Princess an, she was stunned by the battle in front of her.

This Is it still their house? The maid came in and reported to Mu Mingtang. Then she came out and opened the Pearl curtain to Zhao Niang and Zhao xiaoniang: "princess, please."

Zhao Niang accepted the servant girl's service with some trepidation. When she got inside, she became more and more dizzy and felt that her eyes were not enough to see. Little lady Zhao, who was beside her mother, was also very surprised. She wanted to see it but didn't dare to.

Zhao Niang and Zhao xiaoniang salute Mu Mingtang according to the instructions of outsiders. Mu Mingtang sits on the side of the cave. Seeing this, she waves her hand and says, "Zhao Niang and Zhao xiaoniang, please get up. Come and see the seats. "

Zhao xiaoniang couldn't help looking up at Mu Mingtang. It turned out that this was the princess in the capital. She was as beautiful as the immortal in the painting, and her voice was pleasant.

Zhao Niang and Zhao xiaoniang are not from Beijing after all. They don't know the rules of gaomen courtyard very well. When they see that they have moved to xiudun, they really sit down. They don't know the etiquette. They should sit half empty.

Mu Mingtang naturally won't care about these with Zhao Niang and others. Seeing that they were seated, Mu Mingtang asked: "recently, the Lord and I have been harassing each other a lot. Please ask Zhao Gong and Zhao Niang Haihan to disturb us."

Zhao squire is a little famous squire in Qingshui town. Mu Mingtang's name, Zhao Gong, is obviously for face. Zhao Niang hurriedly refused to dare. She said: "King Qiyang came here to fight. He is the benefactor of our whole Qinghe town. It's our honor for the princess to live in the Zhao family. How dare we feel troublesome?"

This is mutual understanding, Mu Mingtang did not refuse, nodded and said with a smile: "thank you, Zhao Gong and Zhao Niang."Zhao Niang and Mu Mingtang talked for a while and felt that the imperial concubine in the capital was not as unattainable as they thought. Princess an looked very friendly, even more so than the county magistrate's wife. Zhao Niang slowly relaxed, and Mu Mingtang casually said: "those Beirong people are really not things, the big new year's are not let people live. On the 15th day, we were going to watch the lights in the county happily, but suddenly we heard that there were Beirong people on the other side of the river, which scared us a lot. There are still girls in our family who haven't been out of the cabinet. When they come, how dare I let my daughter go out? "

Mu Mingtang took a look at Zhao xiaoniang and immediately understood Zhao Niang's worries. Although the imperial court and Beirong seemed to be at peace last year, they discussed and negotiated peace with each other. In fact, among the people, the Ye Dynasty had a particularly serious conflict with the Khitans in Beirong.

Even though yeluyan and other royal families knew Chinese and learned Chinese culture, they were people outside the pass after all. They drank blood and burned, killed and plundered, which brought disaster to the civilians of Ye Dynasty. Folk Ye Dynasty and Qidan hate each other, now Zhao Niang talking about Beirong people, naturally not a good word.

Mu Mingtang had experienced the war personally, and he could not understand it more. Instead, she was surprised: "since Zhao Niang is worried about Beirong people, Beirong is on the other side. Why doesn't Zhao Niang go?"

"Where can we go?" Zhao Niang complained, "if it's not really impossible, who is willing to leave a good home. When I first knew that Beirong people had come to the other side of the river, I was so scared that I packed up and planned to go to Tokyo to join my relatives. Unexpectedly, two or three days later, news came that King Qiyang was going to fight. When I heard this, I decided to stay and wait for a few days. Later, my relatives in the capital sent a message that King Qiyang had indeed brought people to fight. When King Qiyang comes, we don't have to run. "

Mu Mingtang was shocked and asked, "do you trust him so much?"

"Of course." Zhao Niang didn't even think about it. She said, "if the king of Qiyang can't win, it's useless for us to hide anywhere. It's better for us to die together and be company on the way to huangquan."

Xie xuanchen's title was changed to king an by the emperor, and the population in the capital was changed. But when he got out of Tokyo, the people outside only recognized King Qiyang.

Mu Mingtang did not expect that Xie xuanchen was trusted so much by an ordinary people. Not only the Zhao family, but also Mu Mingtang found that other people in Qingshui town didn't lock their doors. That is to say, other people in the town were still in place.

Everyone trusts Xie xuanchen so much. Because Xie xuanchen came, even if the enemy was on the other side, there was no need to run away.

Seeing Mu Mingtang's strange question, Zhao Niang wondered, "why does the princess ask like this? Don't you believe in King Qiyang? "

Mu Mingtang was stunned and laughed: "of course I believe him."

She believes in her young hero wholeheartedly, so that she is willing to entrust the rest of her life and follow him to the end of the world.

As he spoke, the sound of horses' hooves came from outside, followed by a series of greetings. Hearing the panic, Zhao Niang immediately pulled her daughter to her feet and saluted casually, saying, "the Lord has come back, and the women will leave first."

As soon as Zhao Niang's words were finished, she ran out with her daughter. When she went out, she didn't pay attention to her head. She just saw a man in armor coming towards the main room. At a glance, she only remembered that the man was very tall and beautiful.

This is the most beautiful man that lady Zhao has ever seen. Unexpectedly, this is the famous King of Qiyang?

The place where Xie xuanchen was stationed was not far from Qinghe town. He could walk back and forth in a quarter of an hour on horseback. This is the position he specially selected. He arranged the affairs of the barracks and immediately came back to see Mu Mingtang.

Xie xuanchen understood why the men who had become relatives in the military camp went home as soon as they were free. He ran between the barracks and his daughter-in-law. He didn't feel tired on one side, but enjoyed it.

When Xie xuanchen came back, the yard was busy again. The common people in Qinghe town are afraid of the servant girls in the palace, while the servant girls are afraid of Xie xuanchen. As soon as Xie xuanchen comes back, they change their tea, and they are too busy to leave.

Xie xuanchen could not wait for this. He turned his eyes around the room and slowly frowned: "I'm too comfortable. I've wronged you these days."

Mu Mingtang quietly said from the bottom of his heart: "I think it's OK. It's not grievance."

She really felt that such conditions were good, the house was clean and bright, the courtyard was flat and complete, where was it simple?

Xie xuanchen feels that Mu Mingtang is comforting him. He blamed himself more and more and said, "after a period of time, we will settle down and buy our house again. I can only hurt you these days. "

Mu Mingtang heart in the end aggrieved who, it is clear that Xie xuanchen can not accept this kind of small room. After Xie xuanchen finished, he saw that Mu Mingtang didn't mean to ask. He was curious and said, "you just believe me, don't ask anything, just follow me?"

Mu Mingtang felt vaguely at the beginning. As soon as Xie xuanchen left, I'm afraid he didn't plan to come back at all. That's why I insisted on taking her with me and taking away a huge amount of gold.

Mu Mingtang expected that he would not be surprised to hear what he said. He even said with a smile: "who made me obsessed with you. Elope with little white face, of course, I can't take care of anything. "

Xie xuanchen also laughed and looked at her and said, "you have no fear, eh? Do you think I can't make time for you these nights? "Mu Mingtang didn't want to be timid, but Xie xuanchen's eyes smile with evil, and Mu Mingtang didn't dare to provoke. Xie xuanchen is crazy. She can't stir her up.

Mu Mingtang recognized counsels, dare not again blind tease. She deliberately changed the topic, forced to turn a corner: "how is the preparation of the front line?"

Xie xuanchen, of course, saw that Mu Mingtang was deliberately changing the topic. He didn't press her too hard. He said along with her, "it's OK. I've arranged everything. I can't finish it in a moment and a half. It's useless for me to stare. I'll come back to see you first."

Mu Mingtang was a little worried: "yeluji is still on the other side of the river. If you're not here, is that ok?"

"No harm." Xie xuanchen said, very true to show the color of disgust, "this is the field of Ye Dynasty, the right time and place occupy more than half, it is more difficult to win."

After listening to the silence, Mu Mingtang said in silence: "you talk well, don't be so rampant."
