On the second day, the apology documents of Xiao Zongchang, the head of the Xiao family, and Xiao Zongsheng, the Marquis of Jinghai, were placed on the emperor's desk. After things got so complicated yesterday, the emperor just took a quick look at them and ignored them.

The emperor's illness has almost recovered, but his chariot stopped in Dezhou and refused to leave. Officials had begun to talk about it. Many people speculated that the emperor was waiting for the outcome of the battle to defend the capital. If the capital was defended,

, then the so-called "Southern Tour" naturally has no meaning.

The emperor wanted to keep the prince in the capital to supervise the country, but the news that the prince refused because of timidity had already been released by the Xiao family. Now that the prince was assassinated, the emperor only took Shi You into custody, but did not blame the Xiao family. On the contrary,

The punishment was given to the prince, which made all the officials talk about it.

Is this the time for the prince to fall out of favor?

Although the emperor didn't like the prince very much before, the prince's identity was there, so the emperor couldn't help but ignore him. Although the prince had not established his own power in the court, there were still many ministers in the court who bought his account. The prince,

After all, it represents orthodoxy.

But now, many people are beating the drum in their hearts. One has just made a great contribution in the defense of the capital, and the other was severely punished by his father. I originally thought that Shi You's matter could help the prince win back the victory, but now?

It seems that it is safer to stay away from this fight!

In the prince's palace, it was said that reading was done behind closed doors, but how could the prince read. When a young chamberlain came in, his voice was a little louder, which made the prince furious and whipped him severely with a whip in the courtyard.

After dozens of lashes, the little eunuch's miserable howl could be heard far away. Yuxin listened to it in her room for a long time and couldn't help but frown.

She really looked down on the prince.

At that time, the emperor gave him an opportunity to stay in the capital and supervise the country. Obviously, if the Tuwu and Jurchen coalition forces were defeated, his position as the prince would be as stable as a rock. However, the prince was as timid as a mouse and refused to agree.

Lost the Sacred Heart.

She lacked strategy, so she took out her anger on the little eunuch when something like this happened. During the time she was married to the prince, four little eunuchs were whipped to death by him.

Luzhi was beside Yuxin, trembling with fear. The little eunuch's miserable screams penetrated her ears one after another, making her heart twitch. "Mother, let's beg for mercy and save this person."

Life is better than building a seven-level pagoda!"

Yuxin sighed. If she went out at this time, wouldn't she be unhappy for herself? But she was indeed not the kind of person who would not save anyone. After thinking about it, she put on a cloak and pushed the door open to leave.

go out.

There was not a single servant in the yard, and the eunuch who was serving Ye Minshu was hiding far away. His Highness the Crown Prince's face was ferocious, and the whip continued to hit the little eunuch's body, and he said to himself: "I'll beat you to death! I'll beat you to death, you bitch."

Servant!"

The little eunuch had turned into a gourd of blood, with green branches and pistils that made him want to cover his eyes, and he didn't even dare to look at it. Yuxin walked over, saluted Yingying, and called out: "Your Highness!"

The prince suddenly looked back, pointed the whip in his hand at Yu Xin, and said solemnly: "Why, do you even want to go against Gu?"

A cold and faint flame rose in Yuxin's eyes. She was the most stubborn by nature, and she always took advantage of the soft and not the hard. The prince's whip almost hit her face, but Yuxin's expression did not change at all. The prince's last time

Using her as bait to lure Shi You to attack her, Yuxin had completely given up on the prince.

She said calmly: "He is just an insignificant eunuch. Your Highness, you are so rich and noble, why should you be angry for such a person?"

The prince said coldly: "This is Gu's palace. You can do whatever you want!"

Yu Xin said: "This is indeed His Highness's palace. Even if you whip this little eunuch to death, no one will care. But if the news reaches the ears of the Emperor, it is inevitable that someone will be resentful because of the Emperor's decree."

Isn't it true that the gain outweighs the gain?"

This sentence touched the heart of the prince. The emperor didn't want to see him because of many things. If the Xiao family made another slanderous statement to the emperor at this time, saying that he whipped the eunuch because he resented the emperor, the consequences would be... Pa! The prince would throw it away angrily.

He took off the whip and returned to the room without looking back.

He also dislikes Yuxin no matter how much he dislikes her. However, Yuxin is the crown prince appointed by the Queen Mother and canonized by the Emperor. The Crown Prince needs to rely on the strength of the Yang family, so he has endured it in every possible way. Thinking of her sister, he feels quite sad.

windy

Love is always obedient to him. In these days, the prince took the time to meet with Yuxia several times. Every time, the result was inevitably rolling over on the bed. The prince inevitably thought, they are both sisters, why is there such a gap between the two of them?

How big is it?

As soon as the prince left, the servants serving in the courtyard all appeared as if they had emerged from the ground. After all, they were in sympathy with each other, so several servants came over to thank Yuxin. When Yuxin saw the little boy being beaten,

The chamberlain was already breathing more out than in, so he said: "Quickly find some stick medicine and treat him. Whether he can survive depends on his luck!" It is absolutely inappropriate to go out and ask a doctor.

In fact, although the seizure of the heir is of great importance at this time, everyone from the emperor to the civil and military officials pays more attention to the situation of the capital. The battle to defend the capital has been going on for five days now. The foreign coalition first attacked Deshengmen, and Ye

Min Chun was ordered to supervise the guard. Although he was young, he commanded

The attack was carried out properly, and Ye Yichen decisively sent troops for reinforcements after understanding the enemy's situation. The two modified cannons on the top of the city also played a huge role. Zuo Yan and Tumu Tu attacked wildly for five hours, and corpses were piled ten meters deep under the city.

, the soldiers were so exhausted that they had no choice but to pay gold and retreat.

After returning to the camp ten miles away, Zuo Yan learned that his younger brother Bo Luo had been shot and killed in front of Desheng Gate. In just one day, the coalition forces of the two ethnic groups had lost nearly a thousand soldiers, and their morale was extremely low.

Zuo Yan and Tumu Tuyi discussed in the evening that Deshengmen was so difficult to attack. It seemed that the main force of the Chu army was at Deshengmen, so the two decided to concentrate their main force and attack Xizhimen. Unexpectedly, Ye Minyu, the defender of Xizhimen, could not attack Xizhimen at all.

He's just a lunatic, even though he is

Prince, but when it comes to fighting, he doesn't care about his life at all. His style is completely different from Ye Minchun. Ye Minchun sits in charge of the central army and commands the whole army in a very orderly manner. Ye Minyu takes the lead. When the enemy comes, he can run faster than Datou.

The soldiers are all fast.

The officers and soldiers of Xizhimen were all extremely brave under his leadership, and they were more ferocious in killing people than the Tutu Jurchens. Zuo Yan and Tumutu fought at Xizhimen for two days and two nights, killing countless people. At one time, they occupied the city wall. Ye Yichen from

Zhangyimen and Deshengmen mobilized troops for reinforcements

, he personally led the team, and Ye Minyu was injured in many places. He was not afraid of death, split his shirt, wrapped his wounds, and fought bravely. With such a prince taking the lead, the whole army was not afraid of death, and many people were brave.

When he reached the top of the city, he attacked the enemy with stones without weapons.

At the critical moment, General Kate gave Ye Yichen an idea: wrap gunpowder in reed catkins and cotton quilts and throw it down the city. He also poured oil on the firewood, mixed it with gunpowder, tied it with an iron rope and lowered it to light. This kind of explosive

The new usage turned out to be very effective.

After two days and two nights of attack, the corpses of the rebels piled up like mountains under the city, and the foreign coalition forces had to retreat. However, the artillerymen of the Chu army kept firing cannons and even died of exhaustion, which shows the fierceness of the battle.

At this point in the battle, the outcome was actually decided. That night, Zuo Yan looked at the huge city of Beijing and felt extremely bitter in his heart. He had made every possible effort to finally achieve such a favorable situation, but it was ruined by Ye Yichen. In fact, today

, he was very close to victory, when

Shi Tu's most elite soldiers had already attacked the city. What was competing at that time was willpower. However, Ye Yichen was able to gather so much public morale in a short period of time. The city of Beijing was like a huge rock on the seaside.

No matter how the waves hit it, it remains as stable as a mountain.

That man, how did he do all this?

Zuo Yan inspected the entire camp. The morale of the sudden army was low, but the Chu army was brave and undaunted. The key was that the firearms were too sharp. Many soldiers died under the unknown cannons or new gunpowder weapons. Zuo Yan felt extremely heartbroken thinking about it.

So many elites are the wealth he has accumulated little by little through hard work.

The grassland is not as good as Da Chu. Whoever has a bigger fist can be the boss. Once his soldiers suffer too many losses and he returns to the grassland, he may not even be able to maintain his position as Khan.

Zuo Yan made a difficult decision to attack for two more days. If he failed, he would lead his army to retreat.

Before Zuo Yan could attack again, on May 25, the gates of Zhangyimen were opened, and the Chu army's 10,000 cavalry, led by the commander-in-chief Shi Qian, took the initiative to attack.

This time, people outside the city also joined the battle and attacked the food roads. People in Lingqiu, Yuxian, and Laiyuan areas also organized themselves to deal a heavy blow to the Tuwu and Jurchen armies who were plundering everywhere.

The flames of war spread from inside the city to outside the city. Ye Yichen sat in the Drum Tower and kept coming to report, and he kept issuing orders, dispatching troops and generals, and successively sent out Ye Minyu, Ye Minchun, Ye Fengqi and even Yuan Datou.

Beijing has almost become an isolated city. However, at this time, neither Zuo Yan nor Tumutu had any spare strength to attack Beijing.

This field battle lasted for five days. During this process, the Chu army's firearms played a great role. The trained fire gunmen cooperated with the Chu army's cavalry to restrain the Tutu and Jurchen cavalry to death. The two ethnic groups' coalition forces

After repeated defeats, the siege failed, the peace talks failed, and morale hit rock bottom!

At this time, Zuo Yan and Tu Mu Tu felt regretful. No one said they were going to capture Beijing anymore. It would be great if they could go home alive!

Immediately afterwards, another shocking news came. In the absence of a major general, Ye Yichen just divided a force of 5,000 troops and quietly came to Juyong Pass. Taking advantage of the Jurchen's lax defense, he recaptured Juyong Pass in one fell swoop!

Zuo Yan finally understood that this man never thought that he would lose from the beginning. With the confidence of victory, he strangled his retreat early in the morning and wanted to completely destroy himself and Tumutu's 60,000 troops.

If you lose it, there will never be any future troubles! How did his heart grow?

On the night of the first day of June, Zuo Yan and Tumu Tu led the defeated troops from Liangxiang to retreat towards Zijingguan. Ye Yichen personally led the army to pursue the victory, and defeated more than 20,000 people from the two ethnic coalitions in Gu'an, Bazhou and other places, and captured 48 generals of the two ethnic groups.

people and recaptured more than 20,000 plundered livestock.

On the tenth day of June, Tuwu and Jurchen parted ways and fled for their lives.

Ye Yichen didn't care about the Jurchens at all, so he sent big heads and cavalry to identify the Tutu people and pursue them. The Tutu troops were tired of veterans and ran out of food and grass, and were almost forced into a desperate situation. On June 13, under Ye Yichen's instigation,

Next, internal strife suddenly broke out. Several big leaders jointly killed Zuo Yan and sent his head to Beijing. Ye Yichen kept his promise and released them all outside the Great Wall. At this time, the Jurchens also retreated to the northeast.

The battle to defend the capital was a complete victory! The whole country was jubilant!

As soon as Zuo Yan died, the leaders of the grassland were busy going back to divide the territory again, elect new leaders, and the siege of Xuanda was solved. The Shu Han in the southwest was already ready to move and prepare to go to the northern Shu. After hearing the results of the defense battle in Beijing, they immediately sent

Envoys came to pay tribute. Da Chu's national destiny, which was already in turmoil, unexpectedly turned around. Not only was the crisis relieved, but the country showed a trend of prosperity.

At this time, Ye Yichen, who was in charge of the capital and led the defense of the capital, not only defended the capital, but also killed the enemy chief Zuo Yan, and also solved the border crisis. Countless people inside and outside the Great Wall erected shrines to him. For a while, the people of the country only knew that "

"Prince of Jin", I don't know who is the current emperor!

In the Palace of the Prince of Jin, Ye Yichen was sitting on his desk. He had hardly slept at all since the start of the Beijing Defense War. In such a big city of Beijing, with a population of millions, there are hundreds of military and government affairs, and there are hundreds of them every day.

Things were waiting for him to make up his mind. His eyes were bloodshot, but he couldn't hide his excitement.

His close aide opened a special box and showed it to him. What was in that box was none other than the head of Zuo Yan, the culprit of this war!

Ye Yichen laughed loudly after seeing it: "Zuo Yan, Zuo Yan, you have today too!"

The staff put the box aside and said in a deep voice: "As soon as Zuo Yan died, Tuwu immediately fell into pieces. If we send people to provoke war among the Jurchens, the Northeast will not be afraid! It is really gratifying that the prince has accomplished such an extraordinary feat.

Congratulations!"

Ye Yichen smiled faintly: "I just want to be happy on the battlefield. As for whether I have meritorious service or not, I haven't seen it in my eyes yet!"

The man seemed to understand Ye Yichen's temper very well, and just smiled and said: "Your Majesty's great achievements have shocked the Lord, and his momentum is overwhelming. If you don't make plans early, I'm afraid a catastrophe is about to happen!"

Ye Yichen sneered: "With my current achievements, what excuse can my brother have to kill me?"

The aide's calm voice echoed in the room: "Now that the capital is in the hands of the prince, it is easy to replace him! Is the prince willing to be subordinate to others like this?" He made a chopping motion, "As long as you send out a team of troops, you will be the last one.

The people close to him took charge and rushed all night

It only takes one night to go to Dezhou and kill them all. With the prestige of the prince, as long as you do it cleanly, just say that the emperor died at the hands of foreign bandits, and then you can calmly come out to clean up the mess.

Great opportunities are at your fingertips! Don’t miss this opportunity..."

Ye Yichen's heart beat loudly, all the blood rushed to his head, and his face turned red. As a member of the royal family, his father was killed by Emperor Taizong himself. How could he not hate it? How could he not hate it?
Chapter completed!
