Chapter 537 The Emperor Escaped
"What are you still doing in a daze? Do you want to go to the city gate to meet the enemy yourself?" The emperor snorted coldly.

The Minister of the Ministry of War quickly bowed his head. "Your Majesty, I'm just thinking that His Royal Highness King Rong is still ill, so it's understandable to be sent away. It's just that King Zhenxi... has no reason to ask people to come over like that. Doesn't it seem unreasonable?"

"Then what do I need to do?" the emperor asked sinisterly.

The Minister of War trembled.

Ever since King Rong was injured and various rumors began to spread wildly outside, the emperor became more and more sensitive and suspicious.Now, he has suddenly turned into a self-willed old man who doesn't trust anyone but himself.A casual sentence from others can make him understand countless meanings, and then he will call others the King of Rong, and then suppress them.

Fearing that the emperor would really let him go to the city gate to meet the enemy, the Minister of the Ministry of War hurriedly said: "What I mean is that you can order the emperor to lead a team of troops to meet the enemy at the city gate. In this way, it is reasonable It all fits."

The emperor thought carefully before nodding. "Forget it, that's it! I'll leave this matter to you."

The Minister of the Ministry of War hurriedly responded and went out to make arrangements.

The emperor returned to the inner hall, but still paced back and forth anxiously.

"Come on, come on, go and investigate the situation of that group of thieves! What kind of armor they wear, what weapons are they holding, and how did they attack the city? Let me figure out all the details before reporting back!"

As for the Zhenxi Prince's Mansion, after Li Er got the news, he immediately put on his military uniform and rode his horse to prepare to set off.

Su Ran, brother Quan and brother An all sent him to the door.

"Don't worry, I'll go back as soon as I go." Li Er nodded to Su Ran, "Maybe, this time, we can bring King Rong back together."

Su Ran nodded. "I'll wait for you."

"En." The man nodded his head again, and immediately rode forward at a fast pace.

When he arrived at the gate of the city, King Rong had already been carried to the gate of the city.

After being raised in the palace for a month, King Rong's wound has begun to heal.It's just because of the injuries on his shoulders, chest, and legs, so he can't sit up yet, and can only lie down.

Seeing Li Er riding forward vigorously, a glint of envy flashed in his eyes, and then he put on a foolish smile: "Why are you here?"

"My minister came to retreat from the enemy under the emperor's order." Li Er said in a deep voice.

"Retreat from the enemy? It's almost as good as death!" King Rong smiled lightly, "However, if you really want to die, and there is an acquaintance by your side who can accompany you, then this king is worth it!"

Li Er glanced at him lightly. "You won't die, and neither will I."

"Oh, the tone is quite loud." Rong Wang pulled the corner of his mouth and waved to the left and right, "What are you still doing in a daze? Quickly carry me to the tower!"

This young man... knew exactly what the emperor was doing to send him out of the palace, yet he wasn't afraid at all.Now, he even took the initiative to ask to go to the tower. Does he know what the scenery on the tower is like?
The eunuchs carrying the stretcher felt helpless and pity.However, the emperor had orders, and they didn't dare to delay, so they immediately carried King Rong up to the tower.

At this time Li Er had already come up.He stood on the tower, looked down, and saw that the crowd below was actually full of people.Moreover, this scene started from the gate of the city and continued to a distance of several tens of feet outside.

He immediately frowned. "How many people are here?"

"Back to the prince, people have been coming from outside these days. There should be 4 people at the south gate." The soldier next to him replied.

There are 4 people in the south gate, and the north gate should be similar.There were also people pouring in from both sides of the east gate and the west gate.In other words, there are at least 10 rebels!

Of course, this is not the point, the point is - there are still people coming!

However, there were originally a total of 40 defenders outside the capital, half of which were released by the emperor to suppress bandits, leaving only 20.However, the defenders on the two roads of Beijing, Nanjing and North were attacked by surprise, and almost the entire army was wiped out. There were only less than 5000 defenders left outside the capital.There are still some people in the capital, but the total number is less than [-].Their total number is less than that of the rebels!

This news is very bad news for them.

And, where did so many people come from?This is another big problem.

Li Er was drooping his eyes and meditating, when the boy next to him suddenly laughed again: "Everything is self-inflicted! I don't know how the emperor's uncle felt when he heard the news? But he will definitely not regret it, he He can only complain that the people around him didn't stop him, which led him to make such a muddled decision. Anyway, he must be right!"

The little eunuch on the side was so frightened that he quickly covered his mouth. "His Royal Highness, please don't say a few words! It would be terrible if the emperor heard this!"

The boy bit him hard.The little eunuch was in pain, and quickly let go of his hand, and the young man smiled and said: "This king has already reached this point, is he still afraid of death? And he, Zhu Mao, is sending this king here now, isn't he just waiting for this king to come here?" Die here? Then the king can't speak freely before he dies?"

"I said, you won't die." Li Er interrupted him coldly.

The young man looked up, but he saw that Li Er had already turned around and told the people behind him: "Left four, right four, front five, back nine, the archers are ready, and the catapults are put away!"

"Yes!"

This time it was his imperial guards who came with him.The young soldiers have been training under his guidance for more than a year without stopping for a day.So now, with Li Er's order, they quickly set up the formation that Li Er explained, and the archers shot their arrows and drew their strings.

At this time, the rebels below also began to blow trumpets and drums, preparing to attack.

"put!"

Li Er spoke again, and the long arrow immediately left the bow and flew towards the rebels who were planning to attack the city.

A group of rebels fell down, but another group came up immediately, and continued to climb up the city wall with ladders.

"Throwing stones!" Li Er called again.

The catapult immediately rose and fell, throwing large stones at the rebels outside.Immediately, the rebels wailed continuously, and countless people rolled to the ground.

This time, under the guidance of Li Er, the soldiers were well-trained, commanded and moved one by one, and quickly repelled the offensive of the rebels.

This move also greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers.Even the boy lying on the stretcher looked at Li Er with some admiration in his eyes.

"Unexpectedly, you are really capable." He said sourly.

Li Er looked at him again. "Of course, otherwise why would she choose me?"

This smug tone made people want to jump up and scratch his face!The young man screamed inwardly.

You wait for me first!When this king recovers, I will definitely jump up and scratch you!

The rebels were repelled, and the people on the city wall were about to sit down and rest, but they didn't want someone to come to report immediately: "It's not good! Wang Jin, the right servant of the Ministry of War, brought 200 people under his command, together with the member of the household department, Wai Lang. Liu Yuanshi, Zheng Yuan, the doctor of the Ministry of Justice, and others, all brought their subordinates to the palace to ask the emperor to come out and preside over the overall situation!"

They are forcing the palace!
Force the emperor out of the palace, and then go to the gate of the city to command the battle?Or force the emperor to issue an imperial edict to tell the world that this war started because of him?

When Su Ran heard the news in the palace, she couldn't help but sat back on the chair in fright. "How many people did they hook up with?"

From the previous brochures of the Nursing Home, they had already found out many families and dealt with them secretly.Unexpectedly, there are still so many people standing up now.If these people inside said that they weren't under Liu Qiqiao's orders, she wouldn't believe it!

Saying that, she quickly jumped up again. "Quickly, invite the old lady, the eldest son and the second son to come to me!"

At this time, the family must get together!
The maids hurried out and invited everyone over.It's just that after the whole family gathered in one place, Huang couldn't help but look around. "Brother Zhuang?" she asked Su Ran.

Su Ran bit her lip. "Brother Zhuang is still in the palace, studying with the little emperor's grandson."

Huang's face immediately turned pale. "That... that child..."

"He's definitely fine. Isn't the emperor still in the palace?" Su Ran said in a deep voice.

However, not long after the conference, Princess Jingyi brought her three sons and daughters-in-law, as well as a group of grandchildren, over.

"Now the capital is going to be turned upside down, it's better for us to get together! I brought all the people from my mansion here, as well as the money and food. This way we can take care of each other." Jing Princess Yichang said to her.

Su Ran's heart sank. "Is it really that serious?"

The rebel army came to the city last night!And..."The Emperor..."

"What about the emperor? He ran away long ago! He escaped from the palace!" Princess Jingyi couldn't bear it anymore and cursed loudly.
