Chapter 160: Dark Clouds Overcome the City

Tang Peng was shocked, and Si Qing said again: "Tell me, when will they do it?"

Tang Peng said: "If Your Highness orders the troops stationed outside the city to enter the capital, then the moment they enter the city will be the time for them to act. If Your Highness does not allow the troops stationed outside the city to enter the city, then two hours later, they will use fire as a signal."

Si Qing listened and said: "Good idea, even if I don't let the garrison outside the city come in, if there is chaos in the city, the garrison outside the city can still come in openly on the grounds of the turmoil inside the city. It sounds like Cheng Yingzhou's situation is really bad. "

After finishing speaking, Siqing looked at Tang Peng, "You must have a reason for doing things for Dingfan. I don't need to ask you about your unspeakable secrets, but you must tell me where is the Princess Xianju who married Dingfan's son Han Shouchen?" .”

Tang Peng said: "I really don't know."

Siqing asked again, "How do you get in touch?"

Tang Peng replied hesitantly: "They...will throw the letter into the crack of the door below me."

Siqing snorted, "So you suffered a dark loss and don't have a long memory? Where did their people come from?"

Tang Peng said: "I don't know, probably a private soldier."

Siqing asked, "Where did the private soldiers come from?"

Tang Peng shook his head, "Your Highness, let's go quickly..."

"Go, go and call Fan Ziran here, and say that you have something urgent to discuss with him."

Tang Peng still didn't give up and said: "Most of the old people in Beijing go west with General Sun. Once chaos arises, it is unthinkable. I see that there are often three-foot swords around His Highness, and please leave quickly, and then try..."

"My sword is not three feet long," Siqing said, "but you have been watching me for a long time. I don't remember you ever seeing me make a move."

Tang Peng said: "I don't regret my death, please Your Highness..."

"If you want to die immediately, I can fulfill you right now." Si Qing said coldly.

Tang Peng trembled, and Si Qing said: "I don't want to say what I said a second time, either you invite Fan Ziran, or you die. You choose yourself."

"His Royal Highness..."

"What else do you know, you don't want to spit it out now, you want to wait until Ben Gong dies? Tell me, besides you, who else is Han Shouchen's insider in the capital?"

Tang Peng said: "I really don't know, after what happened last time, they no longer trust me."

Si Qing asked again: "Is Ning Shouhou and Ding Fan colluding?"

Tang Peng said: "No, Ning Shouhou and He's family are just a cover to confuse His Highness."

"Want to watch us fight?" Si Qing said, "What else do you know?"

Tang Peng was still hesitant, Siqing saw that time was running out and she didn't have the heart to play riddles with him, so she said, "Get lost."

Tang Peng said: "Your Majesty, please go and invite Prime Minister Fan, and His Highness, please make preparations and leave quickly."

Si Qing said: "If I stay here, there will always be a small number of Jinwu Guards and Fu Junwei who can be trusted. If you let me leave, I will not be a sheep. What are you planning?"

Tang Peng was about to swear poisonous oath immediately after hearing this, Siqing said: "The good deeds you have done yourself, don't implicate your ancestors and future generations. I am the middle palace, and your majesty is not here. Take me as my respect, and I will not leave You can tell Your Majesty with confidence that I'm not going anywhere, and I'm just here waiting for his people to mess up."

Tang Peng kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty the Empress has always been adamant about the past, so why should jade be broken at this juncture? Your Majesty should avoid the hustle and bustle first, General Sun didn't go very far..."

"Sun Pingfu brought people back to Beijing to 'siege the city', wouldn't that really be treason? You have a good plan, so don't get it wrong." Si Qing said coldly.

Tang Peng wanted to dissuade him, but Si Qing said concisely, "Get lost."

Yun Chu watched Tang Peng go away, and asked eagerly, "Your Highness, what should we do?"

Si Qing said: "It is definitely not only the people of Dingnan Fan who are behind this arrangement. There are also people in Beijing who are connected with Dingnan Fan, but we don't know who this person is. You go and get the kings in Beijing and theirs." All the princes were invited, and a big change was made, and I invited them to come and discuss."

Yun Chu asked, "What are you calling them for?"

Siqing replied: "After entering the palace, there will always be Shangzhi Jingwei. They can't bring cronies into the palace. Come here, it means that they have not colluded with Dingfan, otherwise they would not be willing to enter the palace at this time and fall into my hands." Hostages. Whoever does not come is the insider who colluded with Dingfan to bring chaos to the government."

Yun Chu still finds it inconceivable, "Why do they..."

"They are relying on the aid troops transferred from outside the mouth," Si Qing said, "who knows who is here? Who knows whether the order to transfer troops outside the mouth has actually reached the hands of the general outside the mouth? Don't be dazed anymore , turned into elbow and armpits, hurry up and do it. By the way, little lady and the others don’t know where they are now..."

At this moment, Bai Lu first came out, and immediately asked what happened, Si Qing said: "Is there a way for the pigeon house in our city to communicate with the outside of the city?"

"The pigeon house in Jigu Pavilion and the pigeon house in Nanshan Tantai can be directly connected."

"You go to do something, send a letter to Cheng Yingzhou outside the city, tell him that something is going to happen, and pay attention to the actions of the Beijing camp. Remember to send a few more groups of carrier pigeons, and make sure they are handed over to Cheng Yingzhou. Also, a secret notification will be sent in Beijing. The Jinwu, Fujun, and Habayashiwei guards and the imperial guards will immediately deploy their defenses with the East Palace as the center."

Bai Luchu said: "Aren't you going to give Commander Cheng instructions, or let him go back to the city immediately?"

"I don't know the situation outside the city, and Cheng Yingzhou needs to adapt accordingly. They have already seized the opportunity, and we can't miss a single step." Siqing sighed after finishing speaking, "I didn't expect to go through a lot of trouble, and finally wait here with me."

Bai Luchu hesitated and said, "The girl, you..."

Siqing said: "Leave me alone, go and do it."

Bai Luchu and Yunchu left one after another, Siqing looked at the empty main hall of the East Palace and felt shaken and a little dazed.

When things came to an end, she didn't feel uneasy. She seemed to have a premonition, a premonition that there would be unexpected changes.

She once planned to take advantage of the discord between the two sons of Dingfan Han Xunli to provoke and act, but she did not expect that the other party would repay the other party in the same way, and also used Ning Shouhou and the He family as bait, because she fell into the bait.

Bai Luchu had dissuaded herself not to make premature conclusions about Ning Shouhou, but she acted too hastily, blindly trying to get rid of the He family, and finally fell into Dingfan's chess game.

She suddenly remembered Fu Linchuan's worried eyes when she said goodbye to Fu Linchuan in her dream, she shook her head quickly, and Xiao Yi's face appeared in front of her eyes immediately.

Before Xiao Yi left Beijing, the two made a seemingly perfect arrangement, but it never occurred to him that Xiao Yi "disappeared" halfway this time.

Siqing stood up and touched her beloved jewellery, which was locked in the middle of her hair. If she died here today, she wondered if there would be a place to bury her bones.

No, there is no unparalleled road, if you just want to live, can't you find a glimmer of life?She ordered Ling Zhen to come to the East Palace first, then remembered that there were Fang Huipin and He Meiren in the palace.

If the rebel army attacked Miyagi, they would have nowhere to go. If the two were also sent to Jigu Pavilion, he didn't trust any beauties, and was worried that He Meiren would do something extraordinary, so he ordered people to invite the two of them to the palace. East Palace is here.

After Yunchu and Luchu didn't return for a long time, Siqing began to worry that they were captured by the rebel army, and regretted that they should be handled by Tang Peng.For a while, he thought that the two of them had traveled a long way to the East Palace to do business, how could they come back so soon, it was because they were too impatient.

Fang Huibing was the first to rush to the East Palace. She was wearing a tulip-colored soft skirt, shrouded in smoke under the lamp, like a fairy painted on a celadon vase, with a puzzled look on her face.Fang Huipin never came to the East Palace, so she bowed to Siqing in doubt, and Siqing said indifferently: "Please sit down, sit down and talk."

Fang Huipin asked softly: "The Empress Kui Ye called my concubine here, do you have any orders?"

Si Qing said: "I haven't lived in the Ninghua Palace these few years, and I haven't seen you many days. Today's shocking change, after much deliberation, I haven't been able to figure out how to arrange you..."

"What's wrong, Your Majesty?" Concubine Fang Hui stood up, her complexion changed drastically.

She is an extremely silent and capable person, with thin and thin eyebrows, and because there is no drawing, the brow bone looks particularly bleak in the shadow of the lamp.

Seeing her trembling all over, even the tassels around her ears were trembling, Si Qing couldn't help but sighed softly, "I don't know how your Majesty is doing."

Fang Huipin asked: "The imperial concubine..."

"She hasn't arrived at the Yining Palace yet," Si Qing said, "some important event will happen tonight, and there may be chaos in the capital. How do you plan?"

Fang Huipin looked at Siqing, and Siqing said: "You guys go, call He Meiren, go out and hide for a while, they won't pursue your subordinates too much."

Time seemed to be at a standstill, Fang Hui concubine said quietly: "It's not that the empress doesn't know that there is no place for younger sister He other than in the palace. If we die, we can only die here. The concubine will not go anywhere. It should be the Empress and the Crown Prince who are leaving."

Siqing was startled, someone would easily die for Xiao Yi!

Siqing knew that if she left, the capital would be in chaos, and the country would be in turmoil, and she would be a sinner in the world. She could not bear such a bad name.But even so, Siqing still felt that even if she reached the worst step with her own skills, she might not have a chance to survive, and she would die and survive.

She is gambler by nature. In Xining 13 years, she bet that her brother Ye Lancheng would not deceive her and then returned to Beijing. She also bet that she would be able to gain a firm foothold in the ban and enter the palace as a concubine. Last year she bet against Prince Duan. Blindfold chess could save Fu Linchuan, and now she is betting that she can find a chance in the chaotic situation where there is no discrepancy.

Fang Huipin asked again: "Your Majesty, what happened?"

Siqing said, "Someone wants to rebel."

Fang Huibin breathed a sigh of relief, Dingfan has been rebelling for several years, so it is not surprising, "Rebellion? Is it Dingfan? Or..."

"The rebels are just under the palace wall, and they may attack the inner city at any time," Siqing said slowly, "there are not many Jinwuwei, Fujun, and Habayashi guards in Beijing. Prepare for the worst."

Fang Huipin gasped, "Where's the crown prince? Where's the noble concubine?"

Siqing said casually: "I drank the sedative for the crown prince, the imperial concubine fainted just now after she was so angry, she rested in the back." She waved her hand wearily, "Let's go, go now, find a place to hide in the city " After finishing speaking, he looked at Fang Huibin, "I remember your uncle works in Jingzhao Mansion, you go and hide."

Fang Huipin's face was determined, but she just shook her head.

Siqing sighed again, changed the subject and asked, "Why aren't He Meiren and Lingzhen here yet?"

The servant accompanied him with a smile and said: "When I went to invite you, the girl next to Meiren He said that the beauty and Miss Lingzhen were enjoying the moon in the garden, and she must be here in a while."

Si Qing frowned, "Are they leisurely and elegant?" I'm afraid that Ling Zhen doesn't have the intention of admiring the moon with He Meiren now, and just wants to tear her apart.

Lingzhen and He Meiren stood in the palace of the Royal Garden, Lingzhen said calmly: "Since Your Highness let you out, I advise the beauty not to play any tricks. Your Highness always feels ashamed of you for choosing you into the palace, but you should not push yourself too far. Those who work for your mansion, who will have a good end..."

It's finally going to be on the shelves, and I'm full of emotions.

This article began to write the first chapter in 2016. It was originally titled "Jiangshanji", which was taken from "Changsha Passing Jia Yi's House" "Where the lonely river and mountains are falling, what is the pity for you to the end of the world".

At the beginning, I wanted to portray the hero as a double-faced emperor, and wanted to tear his unbearable side from the perspective of the heroine.

Signed a contract in 2017, the editor changed its name to "A Thousand Years of the World", and encouraged me to write it as a strategy essay.

When I conceived the framework, the story started from the "Change of the Imperial Capital" (that is, this chapter) after Xiao Yi left Beijing in the 21st year of Xining. Moved.

When I was young, I read Meng Hui's "Yu Lan Bian", and I was attracted by the desolate and beautiful words, and I was addicted to the words of Pu Yue, Ling Li and other writers, and I admired the textual research novels.

My knowledge of literature and history is far from enough, and I can't write textual research, so I can only make empty statements.I am well aware that my writing is not smooth enough, my stories are not compact and straightforward, and even rigorous textual research may not be read by anyone, not to mention my immature writing skills, there must be no market for writing.

But this story lingered in my mind. I went into another world and performed all the joys, sorrows and joys of the protagonist, and I still wanted to record it.

In 2020, I rethought how I should cut into the story. In order to straighten out the clues, the first 85 chapters were made into a state of confusion.After entering Chapter 85, the writing suddenly becomes smooth, and all the clues that have been laid out will be taken back one by one.

In 2022, after the editor agreed to change the name to "Ningzhuang", this update will be updated to the conclusion.

When I was writing this article, I was always curious. In some dynasties, there were many queens who were born as commoners. After they became queens, what would happen to the eccentric palace?Empress Wanli has records of violence, and many empress families have records of encroaching on fields.Do the queens and their families have any reflections and emotions on their former civilian life?

I wrote about a queen who was born in the folk, and put her in a fictional era, trying to deconstruct all of this from her perspective.

The love line in the front of this article is very late. Siqing married and had children as if she had completed KPI, because I think she needs to gain a foothold before she can pursue love.If Siqing wanted to gain a foothold by pursuing love, Xining would have been kicked out of the chess game 20 years ago and would definitely not be able to win the game.

To attract an indifferent person like Siqing, Xiao Yi needs to have enough charm, and the two must experience life and death, so after the change of the imperial capital, Xiao Yi's return to Beijing is the place where their love began.

Thanks to all friends for reading, especially thank you for reading the first 85 chapters.Thanks to the reader in 2020 for leaving a message, I will try my best to write the following story well.

(End of this chapter)
