Several soldiers felt guilty. They did not dare to look into Banhua's eyes. The big men stood in front of Banhua like quails who had done bad things.
Banhua is wearing small leather boots, silver hedgehog soft armor, and her black hair is **** with a gorgeous jade crown. She has a heroic appearance and impressive momentum. If a woman who doesn’t know her gender sees her, she might fall in love at first sight. It’s hard to believe forget.
Crack, snap, snap.
Ban Hua held the sword on his waist, walked up to the generals, and walked around them: "It's late at night, you gentlemen are not sleeping, why are you here talking gossip?" What?"
The young man in silver armor was young after all, and he was a little impatient: "Princess, we are just complaining about the injustice of the people."
"Oh, that's it," Banhua nodded with a look of confusion on his face, then sniffed, "What are you baking?"
"Yes...it's a cheap thing introduced from a small overseas country. It's the easiest to grow. However, if you eat this kind of thing, it's easy to do indecent things, so not many people grow it," said the young general in silver armor. A dark, round thing tumbled out of the fire, "But it's good to eat it once in a while."
"Did anyone in your ancestors do anything under my grandfather's account?" Banhua felt that this young general looked familiar, much like a soldier under his grandfather's command.
"Back to the princess, the general's grandfather was fortunate enough to serve as a vanguard officer under the general's command." When Banhua's grandfather was mentioned, the young general's eyes shone, "I didn't expect that, princess, you still remember it?"
"When I was very young, your grandfather came to my house as a guest." Banhua remembered that he was a very energetic old man and he brought her many gadgets that were only available in the south. "My grandfather said, Grandfather Ling was a great general."
These few compliments made the young man in silver armor feel as if he had drunk honey. He couldn't help but straighten his chest, and his blood was so excited that he could go into battle to kill the enemy now.
"But this is a military camp. You generals don't need to call me a title. Just call me General Ban." Banhua squatted down and reached out to peel off the shell of the sweet-smelling thing. The thing turned out to be extremely hot, and she couldn't bear it. He couldn't help but waved his hands, "Although I am not as good as my grandfather, I still know the rules in the army. Please don't be biased because I am a woman."
The generals watched her stretch out her white fingers to poke the sweet potatoes, just like a curious child, which made them really unable to say the word "general".
However, because of this incident, they who were originally nervous about saying bad things about the court gradually relaxed.
"General Banhua," because Banhua has the aura of being the descendant of a famous general, the young general in silver armor who admired Banhua's grandfather very naturally called Banhua general, "The last general's words and deeds just now have nothing to do with these generals. ."
"You are right," Banhua tasted a little of the soft inside of the sweet potato. It tasted very sweet and was a very good thing. "Who would be willing to attack his innocent compatriots?"
The generals did not expect Ban Hua to say such words. They looked at Ban Hua in surprise. It took a long time for the eldest general to say: "The princess' words are serious. We are just complaining a few words. We absolutely dare not do anything." Intention of rebellion."
He was worried that Banhua said this deliberately to trick them into telling the truth.
"It doesn't matter what you want to say. Anyway, the person sitting on top," Banhua put down the sweet potato and wiped his mouth, "We have not dealt with each other since we were young. His hatred towards me has lasted for three days and three nights. I can’t stop talking, you can scold me if you want. Listening to you scold me can relieve my anger.”
Hearing this, the generals looked at Banhua with a bit of sympathy.
The family members were left as hostages in the capital. They had been in glory for more than ten years. Once they were stripped of their titles, it was no wonder that they liked them and scolded them today.
"I've wanted to scold you for a long time," the young silver-armored general scolded. "As soon as His Majesty ascended the throne, he couldn't wait to indulge in pleasure. In the past two years, there have been disasters one after another. The people have no fixed homes and starve to death everywhere. He and the traitors in the court They only care about extravagant enjoyment, what do the people mean to them?!"
He was so angry that he punched the ground hard: "I'm really unwilling to work for such a person!"
The rest of the people fell silent. They were all people with unyielding consciences. Who would want the knife edge to be stained with the blood of the common people? It was just that the emperor's order was hard to disobey and there was no choice.
Ban Hua looked at these angry generals and let out a long sigh. Perhaps this is the reason why the Ban family has been willing to protect the frontier for generations. Some of them may be illiterate, some may be vulgar, and some may even commit terrible mistakes, but more of them are full of passion and sacrifice themselves for the sake of the people. Their heads are sprinkled with blood. They don't understand romance, nor do they understand poetry and songs, but they know who their swords should be directed at.
One general succeeds and thousands of bones wither, no matter the change of dynasties or the battles between countries, the people will always suffer the most.
At that time, she didn’t understand why her grandfather was full of emotion when he mentioned those comrades in arms, but now she may understand a little bit.
If my grandfather had not been plotted on the battlefield and was seriously injured, perhaps he would have been guarding the border for many years until he could no longer hold a gun and sword, and then he would have lived a peaceful life.
The sweet potato in her hand began to get cold, and she handed the sweet potato to the young general: "What's the name of this?"
"There is no official name, everyone calls it sweet potato." The young man in Shining Armor pulled out a few more from the fire and gave them to others. They had big appetites and the porridge they ate at night was not enough for them, so they always tried their best. Find a way to put something in your stomach.
Whether it is prey that happens to be shot or grasshoppers that are caught, they are all things that can be swallowed.
Banhua sat cross-legged with these generals, talking about the weather and terrain of various places. If the wealthy ladies in the capital saw it, they would definitely not believe that this was what Banhua would do.
Princess Fule has always paid attention to enjoyment in life, which is something almost everyone knows. The food and clothing are all good, and the luxury cars and BMWs are the best for traveling. Sitting cross-legged on the cold ground like this, chatting with a few smelly men, it is undoubtedly like the red rain in the world.
When Rong Xia came over, Banhua had already eaten most of the sweet potato in his hand. There were two gray marks on his fair cheeks. He looked embarrassed and cute, but Rong Xia felt that something was tugging at his heart. I stopped and felt terribly uncomfortable.
He remembered that Huahua said that she admired soldiers very much, but she did not want to be a soldier because soldiers were too hard and she could not bear the hardship.
But now she was wearing cold silver armor, no exquisite jewelry, perfect makeup, and even eating dark things with the soldiers, which made him feel uncomfortable and breathless. He wanted to give her the best, the most noble, and the most beautiful, instead of making her suffer.
"Rong Xia, are you here?" Before Rong Xia came closer, Banhua turned around first and waved to Rong Xia.
The generals who were still sitting cross-legged stood up and saluted Rong Xia. At the beginning, they despised Rong Xia as a scholar who knew nothing about marching and fighting. But along the way, Rong Xia took care of all the thorns in his side. You have to be obedient, and the soldiers below are also full of respect for Rong Xia.
Educated people are educated people, and they have to be convinced by this ability.
"Generals, please feel free to do so. There is no need to adhere to these rules in the army." Rong Xia followed Ban Hua's example and sat down cross-legged next to her.
The generals looked at each other and sat down.
"What did you eat?" Rong Xia saw Banhua enjoying the half-baked thing, so she reached out and took some and put it in her hand.
The sweet potatoes are a little cold and not as soft as before, but the sweetness is not lost at all.
"This thing..." Rong Xia's expression changed slightly, "What's its name? Is it easy to grow?"
"This is called sweet potato. It is said that it is easy to grow." The young general in Shining Armor scratched his head and smiled sheepishly, "These were brought in secretly by the general to fill his stomach. I don't know how to grow them."
"It doesn't matter," Rong Xia smiled. Although the military camp stipulates that you cannot bring anything in, but when you are marching and fighting outside, there is not enough food and grass. As long as the soldiers do not disturb the people and rob, if you secretly bring something to fill your stomach, When you come in, many people will turn a blind eye and say, "Just know its name."
This thing tastes good. If it is easy to grow, it can also alleviate the hunger of some people.
After eating the sweet potatoes, Rong Xia wiped the corners of his mouth: "You generals are also old men in the army. I have heard about your personalities. Now there is something I have to tell you."
The eldest general immediately said: "Marshal, please speak."
Rong Xia touched it in her arms and took out a golden seal: "King Ning led his troops to force the palace, and His Majesty and the Crown Prince were trapped. Rong wants to attack King Pang and rescue His Majesty and the Crown Prince. Please help Rong." A helping hand."
"The tiger talisman of the three armies?!" The veteran clasped his fists and said, "Seeing the tiger talisman is like seeing the commander-in-chief who protects the country. The general is willing to listen to the marshal's orders."
Ban Hua looked at the veteran in confusion. Just now, this man was acting very cautiously. Now Rong Xia said a few words casually, and this man couldn't wait to show his loyalty and lead the way. This man was invited by Rong Xia. Child care?
"The final general is willing to obey the marshal's dispatch!" The hot-blooded young man in silver armor spoke for the second time.
"The final general is willing to obey the marshal's dispatch!"
Banhua: Wait, this is to overthrow the emperor who is currently sitting on the throne. Are you people agreeing too casually?
Ban Hua didn’t know that after King Ning ascended the throne, he suppressed the generals everywhere. The generals who were originally low-status could not even get their salaries, and the soldiers under his command were even more hungry. In the hearts of the military generals, Emperor Fengning was a hopeless fool.
In addition, there are already people from Rong Xia in the military camp, so it is very easy for Rong Xia to control this military camp. Although these soldiers do not have much education, it does not mean that they are stupid. Since Rong Xia dared to speak out about this matter boldly, it meant that he was sure that they would agree.
As for not agreeing...
No one wants to think about the consequences of not agreeing.
Above the court, King Ning drowsily listened to the debate between the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households over food and salary. He rubbed his forehead and said impatiently: "It's just food and salary. The army passes through so many places, so we can collect some food and salary at will. , it’s enough for them to eat and drink, why don’t I have to deliver it to them personally?”
"Your Majesty!" Shangshu Ling Zhou Bingan said hurriedly, "How can food and wages be collected easily from the prefectures and counties where you pass..."
"Lord Zhou, the whole world belongs to me. What's wrong with these people donating some food and grass for the soldiers?" Jiang Luo interrupted Zhou Bing'an coldly, "Or do you think that my orders are meaningless? Useful?"
"I...understand." Zhou Bingan took a step back and stopped talking.
The court suddenly became quiet, and officials with conscience felt chilled by the emperor's words. Nowadays, civil unrest is raging in various parts of the country. At a time when the people should be appeased, His Majesty still collects food and wages at will. Is this because there are not enough rebellious people?
If the DPRK and China had tried to appease the victims after the drought instead of sending troops to suppress it, how could we have reached this point?
As an emperor, he treats the people as nothing. How can such a person be qualified to be the leader of a country?
Three days later, some officials planned to enter the palace to rescue the prince, but they were reported, which exposed Emperor Fengning. On the same day, more than ten officials were beheaded, and more than ten officials were dispatched. The main envoy His head was even hung at the market entrance for public display, attracting countless people to watch.
The minister ordered Zhou Bing'an to claim that he was ill and had to serve as an official, but Emperor Fengning did not persuade him to stay or even give him an honorary title. He agreed to his request in court.
After Zhou Bingan became official, Zhang Qihuai and Zhao Weishen also followed in his footsteps. The only conscientious officials left in the court finally withdrew from the court. The entire Daye Dynasty was already in a state of collapse. A casual storm would be enough. Let this dynasty fall.
But Jiang Luo was still intoxicated by the flattery of the treacherous sycophants, and his power, drunkenness and **** made him lose the last bit of his sanity. He was just like those famous faint-hearted kings in history. He didn't know what day it was, but he thought the whole world was under his control.
Now that there is no queen in the harem, Xie Wanyu, who was once Princess Ning, has an awkward status. Although people in the palace call her empress, she is of no rank and class, and she can live her life in the palace without embarrassment. The other concubines in the palace did not dare to trouble her because they had the Queen Mother on their heads.
Although Your Majesty is ridiculous, the Queen Mother still needs to give some face to her. Although the Queen Mother does not want to see Your Majesty at all, she only eats and prays in the Funing Palace all day long, as if His Majesty’s glory and scenery have nothing to do with her. , even His Majesty’s imperial decree naming her Queen Mother was thrown out of the gate of Funing Palace by her.
Although Xie Wanyu is not popular with His Majesty, the Queen Mother occasionally wants to see her. Based on this alone, other concubines in the harem who are not worthy of being on the stage do not dare to come forward to provoke her.
"Your Majesty," the maid who was dressing Xie Wanyu looked at her dark and gloomy look and couldn't help but said, "You'd better dress up more gorgeously."
His Majesty likes these flowers and pink things. Her mother-in-law is obviously the first wife, but she ended up in such a situation. It is really disgusting.
"Why should I dress for him?" Xie Wanyu sneered, "I think this is good."
"Your Majesty," a little **** ran in, knelt in front of her and cried bitterly: "Thank you, Mr. Dalang, for leaving."
Xie Wanyu's eyelids trembled, her cheeks were pale, but she didn't shed a single tear. She touched her dry cheeks and said in a trembling voice: "I understand, please step back."
"Your Majesty, please forgive me." The **** tried his eyes with his sleeves, covered his face and retreated.
Listening to the sobbing in the room, Xie Wanyu said sternly: "Why are you crying? If there is anything to cry about, don't cry."
"Empress!" Xie Wanyu's maid of honor knelt in front of her, "Don't be like this. If you are sad, just cry."
Xie Wanyu slowly shook his head: "What's there to cry about? I just blame..."
The only blame is that we brought it upon ourselves, making one wrong step and one wrong step at a time, to end up like this.
She turned to look at herself in the mirror, and smiled hoarsely: "This outfit is particularly suitable today."
Standing up while holding on to the table, the dark gray skirt swept across the stool, like a long shadow that could not be resolved, blocking the heart of the bride-to-be.
Xie Wanyu walked out of the palace gate and heard the singing of women and the laughter of men not far away. He was so happy that he felt like a fairyland on earth. She walked towards the direction where the sound came from, and saw Jiang Luo and a woman having fun under the peach blossoms. The two of them were so intimate that it was so ridiculous that it was hard to watch.
When you profess prostitution during the day, you really use the earth as your bed and the sky as your quilt. If God has eyes, how can he let such a beast become the emperor?
She turned around and left, never looking at the man and woman behind her again.
"Your Majesty, that seems to be the Queen?" The concubine who was tired of being in Jiang Luo's arms said in a frivolous voice, "When she saw you, why didn't she just come over and bow and leave?"
"What kind of Queen, she is just something I don't want to see." Jiang Luo took a sip of fragrance on her neck, leaving a crimson mark, "It's better not to come here, so as not to spoil my appetite."
The concubine suddenly smiled coquettishly, and she raised her chin proudly. It didn’t matter what her original wife was, or the daughter of a noble family, but now she was not as good as a woman who came from a land of fireworks and willows. It was really ridiculous.
Someone discovered that after the expeditionary force arrived in Zhongzhou, they stopped moving forward. The rebels were clearly in front, but they made no movement. What does this mean?
After hearing the news, a persuasive minister immediately went to Jiang Luo to read a copy of Rong Xia. Jiang Luo was so angry that he issued three imperial edicts blaming Rong Xia, and hinted in the edict that if Rong Xia did not immediately If we march forward, the Ban family members who remain in the capital will be killed immediately.
But before these three imperial edicts were sent to the capital, urgent news from 800 miles came to the capital.
Marquis Cheng'an rebelled with an expeditionary force of one hundred thousand, and held high the flag of righteousness, saying that Emperor Fengning was persecuting the Supreme Emperor and the Crown Prince. No, the successor chosen by the Supreme Emperor was not Emperor Fengning at all, but the Crown Prince. The most shocking thing is that Rong Xia not only has the Tiger Talisman of the Three Armies in his hand, but also an imperial edict from the Supreme Emperor to the Crown Prince.
The imperial court was caught off guard by Rong Xia's move. Jiang Luo wanted to kill Ban's family to vent his anger, but was persuaded by the court officials. If Rong Xia really broke into the capital, Ban's family would still have a bargaining chip to negotiate terms with Rong Xia.
"What bargaining chip?!" Jiang Luo was so angry that he smashed all the memorials on the imperial case. "That hypocrite Rong Xia doesn't care about the life and death of Ban's family at all. How could he change his plan because of Ban's family?"
"I was deceived by him!"
The deep love for Princess Fule and the unyielding infatuation, these are all made for him to see.
"He doesn't care about Banhua at all. What he wants is my throne." Jiang Luo gritted his teeth and went to the place where Emperor Yunqing was imprisoned. Emperor Yunqing had already been tortured by Jiang Luo to the point of becoming a human being. The once aloof emperor was only served by two or three eunuchs and endured Jiang Luo's abuse from time to time. Emperor Yun Qing was already so angry that he lay on the bed unable to move or even speak.
"Your illegitimate son has finally rebelled and is preparing to go to Beijing," Jiang Luo sneered, "Do you think he is here to save you, or is he here to compete with me for the throne?"
Emperor Yun Qing opened his eyes wide and shook his head violently, but unfortunately he couldn't say a word.
"Hey," Jiang Luo suddenly smashed all the tea sets on the table crazily, "He is just a bastard. He wants to steal things from me. It is simply a wishful thinking!"
Emperor Yun Qing watched Jiang Luo walk away without looking back, breathing heavily in his throat.
"Your Majesty," Wang De's hand was still wrapped with gauze. He stepped forward to help Emperor Yun Qing, "how are you?"
Emperor Yun Qing pointed a trembling finger in the direction Jiang Luo was leaving, his eyes full of anxiety.
"Your Majesty, please calm down," Wang De wiped his tears, "Marquis Cheng'an will definitely come to save us."
Emperor Yun Qing's eyes opened even wider, but he could not speak. Wang De did not understand what he meant, and in the end he fainted from anger.
The imperial court originally thought that Rong Xia would confront other rebels, and the two sides fought each other, allowing the imperial court to reap the benefits. Unexpectedly, the expeditionary force brought by Rong Xia did not conflict with the rebels at all. Instead, the rebels seemed to be crazy and suddenly respected Rong Xia as their leader, and all the rebel forces fell into Rong Xia's hands.
Rong Xia only has an expeditionary force of 50,000 people, and there is still insufficient food and grass. No matter how you look at it, these rebels should not be led by Rong Xia. What ability does Rong Xia have that can actually coax these rebels into submission?
The wine and rice bags in the court were still confused, but Zhou Bing'an, Yao Peiji, Zhang Qihuai, Zhao Weishen and others vaguely guessed a possibility.
"Could these rebels be related to Marquis Cheng'an?" Among the four, only Zhang Qihuai didn't have much friendship with Rong Xia, so he had the least scruples when speaking, "Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence? , these rebels came in force, and they surrendered after encountering Rong Xia. The expeditionary army lacked food and grass, and the equipment was not sophisticated enough. How could Marquis Cheng'an have the confidence to suddenly rebel against the imperial court?"
The only possibility is that most of the rebel leaders in Dongzhou, Xizhou, Xuezhou and other prefectures and counties are Rong Xia's people, and they are waiting for the day when Rong Xia arrives.
"This..." Yao Peiji opened his mouth and was speechless. He turned to look at Zhou Bing'an. The Zhou family had a good relationship with the Ban family. But Cheng'an Hou rebelled. It would be difficult for the Ban family members who stayed in the capital to save their lives. Expected. It's a pity that the four of them are now white and have no face in front of Emperor Fengning. They want to save them now, but they are powerless.
He owed the Ban family a great debt of gratitude, and he couldn't just watch the Ban family die right now.
Zhao Weishen shook his head: "The people detained in that yard may not be members of the Ban family."
He has been secretly communicating with the Ban family for so many years. As early as the day Rong Xia led the troops out of the city, he received Jin Hongyan from a stranger.
How could the swan goose stay in the capital when it flew south?
When Yao Peiji heard what Zhao Weishen said, he breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay if it's not them, it's okay if it's not them."
But how did Zhao Weishen know?
He was suspicious, but he was too embarrassed to ask. He just changed the subject and said, "What on earth does Marquis Cheng'an want?" He made such a big fuss, and even took out the edict of succession and the Three-Army Tiger Talisman written by His Majesty. Is it really just to save His Majesty and the Crown Prince?
"Three Arms Tiger Talisman..."
Shang Shuling Zhou Bing'an was a confidant of Emperor Yunqing and knew some secrets of the court, "which were lost twenty years ago."
