Lady forced to seek prince

Chapter 640 Nowhere to Escape

After the death of the late emperor, he entrusted himself to the Grand Master, who gradually took control of the power of Daqi. Those who followed the Grand Master also entered the core of Daqi's power.

As long as the Grand Master is there, they believe that the sky above their heads will not fall.

Even though Empress Dowager Feng took power, her relatives gathered people's hearts and fought against the Grand Master's party. When the Feng family was at its most arrogant, they set up unjust prisons everywhere and killed many members of the Taishi Party under the pretext of killing others.

But even so, the Grand Master handled various matters very calmly and never lost his composure.

But it's different now.

The people who followed the Grand Master all felt the weakness in the Grand Master's words, as well as the loss of composure and panic at the current situation.

You must know that the Prime Minister is just a chess piece played by the Grand Master. Not to mention the Grand Master, several students around the Grand Master have never taken the Prime Minister seriously.

But now the grand master not only picked up this useless piece that was thrown into the chess basket, but also told everyone that this piece is the key to whether they can win this game.

Maybe there are still many people who feel that it is false and true, and it cannot be said that it is really the grand master's deliberate arrangement, but some people have secretly thought of a way out for themselves.

But on the surface, no one will show it.

"What the teacher said is that the emperor and the courtiers were only temporarily deceived by King Yu. Now we have to avoid his edge. When things stabilize, we will naturally expose King Yu's crimes to the world, and then we can launch an army to clear the emperor's side."

The grand master knew that the morale of the army must be in chaos, but he was not prepared to delay any more. If Xiao Yu really caught him, he would not have to think about what would happen in the future.

With this thought in mind, he led the people to escape. When they took a break after dark, the people around the Grand Master counted their manpower and found that only one-third of the people were left to follow.

"Some people didn't keep up, and some people..."

The generals around the Grand Master whispered, not daring to speak too clearly.

The Grand Master said: "Some people took advantage of the chaos and escaped."

The family general quickly persuaded: "Those who are not determined will just run away. If we keep them, they will waste food and grass in vain. Don't worry, sir, we will follow you to the death, and we will fight for you even if we die."

The family general gave the water bag in his hand to the Grand Master: "Then King Yu has evil intentions. He got the tiger talisman. He must be thinking about how to seize the opportunity to get the throne. He will not use all his troops to deal with us."

The grand master said calmly: "You want to say that King Yu will not really kill me until he succeeds. This is our chance."

Jia Jiang opened his mouth slightly, wanting to deny it but did not speak. This was indeed what they were thinking.

The Grand Master said: "I understand, you can go down and rest first!"

When the general bowed and retreated, the Grand Master looked into the distance under the moonlight.

The general's words were correct, but he wanted to ask, what if King Yu doesn't want the throne? Where can they escape?

However, who doesn’t want the throne?

Especially if it is placed in front of you, you can get it if you stretch out your hand...

Who can bear not to move?

Xiao Min's face appeared in Taishi's mind.

The little emperor will definitely regret it.

……

Xiao Min returned to the palace with his chamberlain. He did not visit the injured Meng Gongren again. He just asked someone to take good care of her. After she recovered, he would reward her with a sum of money and let her return to her hometown for retirement.

"Your Majesty," the chamberlain couldn't help but said, "are you really going to hand over all the imperial troops to King Yu?"

Xiao Min nodded.

The chamberlain pursed her lips: "When I came back just now, I saw that the imperial guards guarding the door seemed to have been changed."

Xiao Min said: "I know that my brother said that those who include the Grand Master must be screened one by one. Only when they are sure to have no connection with the Grand Master can they continue to guard the imperial city."

The chamberlain said: "What Prince Yu said is right, but..." Xiao Min knew what the chamberlain was going to say, so he raised his eyes: "Except for brother, who can do this? If I were to guard the imperial army, I leave it to you, do you dare to accept it?"

The chamberlain was at a loss for words. Accepting the imperial army meant taking on the important responsibility of protecting the emperor. If he failed to let spies sneak in, he would become a sinner of Daqi.

"No one dares, so I entrusted all these to brother," Xiao Min said, "I am different from brother. The most useful thing in my hand is the tiger talisman given by my father, and the identity of the emperor... I will use it Come help me with these two things."

The chamberlain looked at the emperor's small figure and couldn't help but feel a sore nose: "I hope King Yu will not let the emperor down."

"Brother can't," Xiao Min said, "I know."

The chamberlain said: "If the imperial army enters the palace to arrest people, should we stop them?"

Xiao Min shook his head: "Brother is catching spies, just let me just do it."

Xiao Min thought of the way Xiao Yu looked at him just now. In the eyes of others, he seemed to have suffered a big loss, but in fact he was the most comfortable one.

All those heavy pressures were given to Brother. After he had nothing in his hands, he didn't have to worry about anything, he just had to wait for the results.

"Let's throw away the bag!" Xiao Min picked up a cloth bag on the table. It was brought to him by his brother and said that it was sewn by his sister-in-law.

Xiao Min was sweating profusely while playing in his bedroom for the first time.

But soon he was reluctant to throw the cloth bag out.

Xiao Min frowned and looked at it. The cloth bag seemed to be broken at any time: "Do you think it will break if I leave it like this?"

The chamberlain didn't dare to say that, according to common sense... it wouldn't be bad, but it seemed that it was different when Princess Yu sewed it with her own hands.

"Isn't it said that all women can become female celebrities?" Xiao Min wanted to let people put the things away, but couldn't help but put them back and look at them. The crooked stitches were like a twisted centipede.

The waiter responded: "Yes, the woman... has been doing needlework since she was a child."

"Then why does my sister-in-law look like she doesn't know how to do it?" Xiao Min said, "Brother said that a cloth bag can be passed down for many generations."

In order not to disappoint his brother, Xiao Min decided to put the cloth bag away and pass it on to future generations perhaps many years later.

When the time comes, he will repeat what his brother said.

A smile appeared on Xiao Min's face, and he felt that this wish would definitely come true.

……

On the way to the capital, Zhang Yao heard a lot of news.

The King of Yu held the tiger talisman and mobilized troops to quell the chaos. The power that the Grand Master had cultivated over the years was being uprooted by Xiao Yu. Since the Grand Master and others were defeated in a battle with the armed guards outside the capital, they were running away like bereaved dogs.

If it had been anyone else, he might have been captured by the imperial court a long time ago, but the Grand Master was different after all. There were manpower deployed by the Grand Master in various prefectures, and the Grand Master relied on these people to hide everywhere.

"It won't take long for the imperial court to quell the rebellion." People on the roadside were talking about it.

Another asked: "How do you know?"

The man said: "There have been more and more deserters recently, and they are all soldiers under the command of the Grand Master. The government offices have posted notices asking deserters to go to the government offices for hearings. As long as there are no lives on their hands, they can be exonerated and return home."

“If all the soldiers are gone, why fight?”

"makes sense."

"That would be great."

Zhang Yao raised his eyes when he heard this. If Xiao Yu did this, more soldiers would escape from the Grand Master. Who doesn't want a way to survive?

It seemed like this battle wouldn't last long, so he had to hurry up. It was too late to enter Beijing, and he couldn't do what he wanted to do.
