Chapter 318 I don’t let others down, they let me down
In the palace of the Princess of Jin, Zhao Fujin looked ugly, holding his second sister in his arms, and his eldest brother clinging to her feet, obediently not daring to make a sound.

"Princess, sacrifice one family to save thousands of families. As a noble member of the royal family, the princess should stand up for such a righteous matter." Zhang Bangchang, the censor Zhongcheng, advised earnestly.

He Su, the prefect of Kaifeng, sat aside and remained silent.

"There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Bianjing City. The city is high and well-supplied. We only need to hold on for half a month. King Qin's troops from Hedong, Shaanxi and Lianghuai will arrive, and Ni Kang can attack Ni Kang in one fell swoop.

Why do I have to wait for my family and go out of the city to be a hostage in exchange for a moment of false peace? Everyone knows that he has evil thoughts and is nothing more than blackmailing my husband. When the King of Qin led his troops southward, he was unable to fight or retreat, and the situation became even more critical. "

Zhao Fujin argued with reason.

Zhang Bangchang became a little angry and scolded: "Sacrificing one's life for righteousness is the principle of a saint. The princess is from the clan, how could she not understand. Now hundreds of thousands of thieves are arrayed under the city, and they can arrive in an instant.

If we don't force the princess, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the city will force her. We still abide by the courtesy of our ministers and try to persuade each other. Those unscrupulous people will do anything in order to survive! "

Zhao Fujin didn't believe it: "The soldiers and civilians in the city are more than this."

He Su let out a long sigh and said: "Hundreds of imperial students knelt in front of Donghua Gate and approached Prince Shu, begging the princess and her family to live in the city. When this poem was recited at Donghua Gate, thousands of people onlookers cheered. "

Zhao Fujin's face turned pale and he said angrily: "It's ridiculous! I left the palace at the age of twelve and took charge of the Houde Palace. I give out food and clothing every year and help the poor, and I have helped countless people. How can I be sorry for the city of Bianjing? The people in the city treat me like this?
One weak woman and two children, so unwilling to let them go? "

He Su sighed: "The human heart is sinister and selfish, and it's hard to explain clearly."

Zhao Fujin was silent for a long time, and cried sadly: "I can leave the city as a pledge. But my eldest brother and second sister are still young. Please remember their father. My husband will serve the country with determination and risk his own strength." Yaishi will fight for the rest of his life, leaving the two of them behind to inherit the blood of Xianghuo."

Zhang Bangchang said impatiently: "King Kang outside the city has specified that he wants the princess's family, and there will be no one missing."

"In that case, please come back. We, the three mothers, will be together until death." Zhao Fujin said decisively.

Zhang Bangchang's face turned green and white for a while, stood up, and left with a puff of sleeves.

He Su was so ashamed that he bowed to Zhao Fujin and left in a hurry.

"Mr. Xiang, have you seen your elder brother?" Zhao Fujin said with half hope.

"Alas, I just arrived outside the palace gate and was stopped by Geng Nanzhong. The old man pointed at the old man and scolded me for a quarter of an hour, but he refused to let me see the prince."

"Brother him"

"Geng Nanzhong is full of energy and has a loud voice. The prince can definitely hear it in the palace."

Zhao Fujin said disappointedly: "Brother, do you care so little about brother and sister?"

"When a disaster strikes, everyone's first priority is to protect themselves. Send the palace master's family out of the city without any expense or effort. If you spare others' suffering and save yourself, they will be absolutely willing to do so in their hearts."

Zhao Fujin was silent for a while, then waved his hand feebly, "Mr. Xiang, let me think about it."

Liu Baoxiang looked at her lovingly and said harmoniously: "Palace Master, you have to think about it carefully. Queen Mingda has passed away, and the official family is no longer here. You now have a husband and children, so you have to think about it carefully."

Zhao Fujin looked at him and nodded.

Liu Baoxiang bowed his back and retreated from the room.

When he arrived at a side courtyard, Liu Shenyan and two people were waiting for him.

"Wang Yan, Chen Guang, where are you from?"

"Hebei." Wang Yan replied.

"Hebei is a sad place. You are like a fish in water there."

"Don't dare."

Liu Baoxiang stopped talking and went straight to the point, "You all know what the current situation is. You two have been operating in Bianjing City for many years. You must save the lives of the palace lord, the little prince, and the little princess." "Go through fire and water, no matter what." Wang Yan and Chen Guang said in unison.

Liu Baoxiang looked up at the sunset sky, his old eyes full of vicissitudes of life.

"In the seventh year of Zhenghe, I still clearly remember the scene when the palace master met Liu Erlang for the first time.

At that time, I thought, this guy is so bold, he dares to think and do. Anyone who dares to bully his relatives and friends will be chased to the ends of the earth for revenge.

If the palace lord followed him, he might no longer be bullied. But despite all my calculations, I failed to realize that Liu Erlang was a man with great ambitions.

Be ambitious! "

Liu Baoxiang laughed bitterly, "Back then, when the ambitious Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty faced his father, he said he would give me a share of the pie; when the pursuers chased him, he kicked his children out of the car.

Such a ruthless and unrighteous person, but he treated Zhang Liang, Xiao He, Cao Shen and other subordinates with his heart and soul, so that they could help him desperately to conquer the Han Dynasty for five hundred years. "

Wang Yan and Chen Guang listened quietly without making a sound.

"Forget it, once the official died, the palace owner had nothing to do with the Zhao family. After all, she was still the daughter-in-law of the Liu family, and the heirs she gave birth to were of Liu family's blood.

After going through this difficulty, I believe that the palace master will see this world clearly and will also understand the sentence, "Heaven and earth are unkind and regard all things as gullible dogs; saints are unkind and regard the common people as gullible dogs." '

From now on, I will break free from the shackles and be a good daughter-in-law of the Liu family. "

Liu Shenyan bowed his hands and said sadly: "Don't worry, Weng Weng, my grandson will definitely remember your words and be able to persuade the palace master."

Wang Yan and Chen Guang looked at each other and saw sighs in each other's eyes.

On the second day, the eleventh prince Qi Wang Zhao Mo brought the eighteenth prince Zhao Zhen, Duke of Fu Guo, to the Princess of Jin's house.

"Fifth sister, my brother hopes that you can come out of the camp as a pledge. Ninth brother is also our brother, and we will not treat you badly because of brotherhood. We only need to stay for a while, and when the negotiations between the city and the outside are reached, we will naturally release the fifth sister. Come out and reunite with Erlang."

Zhao Mo's words made Zhao Fujin's hands and feet feel cold, as if he had fallen into an ice cave. After a long time, he spoke with difficulty.

"Old Eleven, other brothers and sisters take turns trying to persuade me, that's all. You and I are from the same mother, but you still stab me in the heart?
Your brother-in-law is in Yanjing, conquering the city, and will be heading south soon. Zhao Laojiu took my family as hostages and forced your brother-in-law to give up Yanjing and return it to the Liao people. He even asked him to surrender. If your brother-in-law still doesn't return it, will he return? "

Zhao Mo replied nonchalantly: "If Liu Erlang feels sorry for Fifth Sister, just return it."

Zhao Fujin was so angry that he was trembling all over. Zhao Zhen said softly from the side: "The King of Qin is not alone. He returns when he is told to return and surrenders when he is told to surrender. What will the civil and military officials under his command think? When the time comes, they will not be able to help themselves. If they cannot agree, Fifth Sister and her family will It’s dangerous.”

Zhao Mo turned around and scolded him harshly: "If you don't know, don't talk nonsense."

As soon as he turned around, Zhao Fujin stood in front of him and slapped him hard. Zhao Mo covered his face and couldn't believe it.

"In the years since my mother passed away, as the eldest sister among the brothers and sisters born to my mother, I have tried my best to protect our brothers and sisters from being bullied.

The eighth sister died young and only lived to be five years old.

Lao Ba got close to Lao San and was bewitched by him. He refused to listen to my advice and insisted on going to the Northern Expedition. As a result, he died a tragic death.

In this difficult time, you come to stab me again. Do you still care about the brotherhood of your compatriots? "

Zhao Mo's face turned blue and white for a while, and he said bitterly: "You have to go even if you go, and you have to go if you don't go. We can't let all of us suffer together because of your family!"

After that, he left angrily.

Zhao Zhen walked up to him, took Zhao Fujin's hand and said, "Sister, Brother Eleven was fed the ecstasy soup by those scholars and became obsessed with ghosts. Don't be angry.

When I left the palace, the Crown Princess came to me quietly and asked me to tell you to make plans in advance. Some people couldn't wait. "
