"The snipe and the clam quarreled, the fisherman gained, the Jiang army lost troops and generals, and the princes from all over the country took advantage of the situation and launched civil strife in the name of King Qin. The Jiang Dynasty was first established, and the country Zuo was not stable. As the king of a country, Emperor Guanghe, if he If something goes wrong, the Jiang Dynasty will also fall into war, and the world will be at war, and we will all be eternal sinners."

The Southern Dynasties were all destroyed. Which prince would not want to be the one to reap the benefits?

The atmosphere was somewhat solemn.

Some people couldn't help but sigh: "It is inevitable that the Lord will be criticized by others, and he will even be stabbed in the spine. However, he also takes the overall situation into consideration and is the general trend."

The group of people looked at the eldest princess. The eldest princess still needed to decide what to do.

"Things in this world cannot always be what people want," Jiang Fuguang sighed slightly. After being silent for a long time, he said, "I just want to be clear in my heart."

The atmosphere in the hall was gloomy.

Jiang Fuguang cheered up: "Everyone thinks that the surrender of Jiang takes the overall situation into consideration and is the general trend, so we will discuss together how this surrender will be carried out and what regulations should be formulated. Since it is to be surrendered, it must be done neatly and neatly. It’s thankless.”

……

Jiang Jun surrounded but refused to attack, and the defenders did not dare to attack rashly. The two sides remained in a stalemate.

The loquat leaves are whirling, and the jasper fruits are stacked in clusters.

The Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, and green-yellow loquat fruits emerge from among the leaves, dotted among the green bushes.

At this time in previous years, people would go to the mountains to collect herbs and make sachets for the Dragon Boat Festival. Children at home would be busy gathering loquat leaves and drying them in the shade for storage. If someone in the family had a cough, they would grab a handful and put them into a pot to cook. After drinking it for a few days, your cough will probably stop.

Adults go to the fields to cut moxa, make moxa velvet, and store it at home. If you have backache, headache, or brain heat, you can rub a roll of moxa velvet and apply moxibustion a few times to make your body feel more comfortable.

Mugwort leaves and loquat leaves harvested around the Dragon Boat Festival are the most effective time of the year. You can deal with minor illnesses and pains at home, and you can save a lot of money all year round.

Common people cannot afford medicine and look down on doctors, so they pay special attention to the Dragon Boat Festival.

Luojing City has been besieged for so long. Those from poorer families have no food at home, so they can only tighten their belts to get by. Those from better-off families, their whole family has nothing to eat every day, and life is not easy.

All of them are worried and anxious all day long, looking out from the cracks in the door every day, hoping that this war will end before the Dragon Boat Festival, so that they can catch up with the festival and live a peaceful life, but they are more afraid of the light and the emperor. After entering the city, they will order a massacre.

April 22nd, the eleventh day of the siege by Jiang Jun.

The sky is full of rays of light, and a bright sun emerges from the horizon. In an instant, the morning light splashes, and the rumble of bells and drums rang from the bell tower. For a time, the bells and drums of the gate towers in all directions followed, forming a majestic wave that swept through the entire Luo The news spread from the capital to outside the city.

The defenders on the city tower, after being stunned for a moment, dropped their weapons one by one and looked towards the direction of the imperial city with solemn expressions.

The bells and drums on the gate tower will ring in unison only when a major event occurs in the country, such as the new emperor's accession to the throne, the death of the emperor, or the general who was ordered to go on an expedition and return to the court in victory.

Whenever the bell rings, the soldiers must put down their weapons, the nobles and nobles must dress neatly and go to the palace gate to wait quietly, and the ordinary people must put down their work and walk out of their homes.

Ji Ruxuan sat on the horse and looked towards the sky. The exaggerated smile on his face was simply brighter than the sun in the sky.

The people in the city didn't know what was going on outside, nor did they know whether Jiang Jun had retreated, but living in Luojing City, they instinctively awed the sound of bells and drums, and after much hesitation, they cautiously opened the closed doors of their homes. , waited for a moment, and after not hearing any sounds of fighting or killing outside, nervously stepped out of the house. Where there is one, there are two; when there are two, there are three...

Seeing that there was no danger in the city, the people walked out of their homes one after another. After a while, Yong'an Street was filled with thousands of people, a sea of ​​people and a roar of people.

"A notice was posted on the street. It was the eldest princess who sent people to ring the bells and drums. It seems that the danger in the city has been resolved."

"Really? Did the Qi army defeat the Jiang Dynasty and the Jiang Dynasty retreated? The eldest princess ordered people to ring bells and drums to welcome the army back to the court?"

"Finally, I no longer have to hide at home every day and live in fear. If this continues, the family will run out of food."

"Who says it's not the case? Since the new emperor ascended the throne, the past two years have been bad. The food harvests in various places have been poor and production has been reduced. Let's forget it. Sometimes the imperial court is marching north, and sometimes it is fighting against Tibet, and it has collected a lot of grain from the people. , the price of food is rising, and the court doesn't care about it. The family can't even afford food, and it's almost impossible to open the pot..."

"Keep your voice down, you're dying!"

"..."

Amidst the noisy discussion, there was a violent commotion at the front of the long street, and someone shouted excitedly: "It's the eldest princess, the eldest princess is here..."

Everyone was so excited that they grabbed the shoulders of the people in front of them and stood on tiptoe to look around.

The morning light spreads, and a tomorrow jumps out of the horizon and hangs in the sky.

It is tomorrow that the sky is clear, and the hibiscus blooms.

The eldest princess was wearing a Xuanqi dress. She was solemn, but her long hair was disheveled. She was not wearing a hairpin crown. She held a gold plate in both hands with talismans, maps and the four imperial seals on it. She walked heavily.

Behind her, the civil and military officials put on their official robes, the civil servants took off their crowns, and the generals took off their armor. With solemn expressions, the group headed towards the city gate in a mighty manner amidst the sound of bells and drums all over the city.

The people looked at this scene blankly.

Suddenly, an old man who was over sixty years old rushed out from the crowd and stopped in front of the eldest princess. With an angry expression, he pointed at the eldest princess's nose and cursed: "The eldest princess is a descendant of the Jiang family and has the orthodox royal blood flowing from her body." Bloodline, the Jiang Dynasty overthrew my country, destroyed our country, killed my soldiers, bullied my people, the hatred of our family and country is irreconcilable. Not only did you refuse to form an army to fight against Jiang, but you also led the civil and military ministers to betray the country and become thieves. You are simply Jiang. This is the shame of our family."

The sound of crusade sounded from all directions.

"The Jiang Dynasty overthrew our country and destroyed our country. Why would the eldest princess betray the country and become a thief? How could she have the integrity of the eldest princess of this country?"

"Bah, what a bullshit eldest princess, what kind of virtuous saint? I think she is obviously trying to gain fame and reputation, deceiving the world and stealing her reputation. She usually pretends to be a steadfast and loyal woman. When Jiang Chao's army comes, she becomes weak and just relies on her beauty, baba You can’t get enough of me to flatter you, you bitch.”

"Is there no one left in the Southern Dynasty? Let a woman sit in the morning? Apart from being able to spread her legs, what use can a woman do? When Jiang Chao's army comes, they don't even have a face. They look disheveled like this. It’s like crawling into bed.”

"..."

The imperial court existed in name only, and some people no longer had any scruples. They poured dirty water on the eldest princess wantonly and used all kinds of vicious words to discredit her.
