Chapter 419 Soldiers approaching the city (1)

"What! Set up camp!"

After the soldier finished speaking, the towel in Concubine Yue's hand fell to the ground.

This is really shocking.

The emperor also showed a surprised expression, looking at the soldier, "When did you find this out?"

"It was half an hour ago, ten miles away from the west of the city."

"what about now?"

"Right now, the soldiers guarding the city have closed the city gate just in case. However, the Seventeenth Prince hastily set up camp outside the city. The general was really panicked, so he had to rush into the palace to report to the emperor. It's just that the Seventeenth Prince We haven't found out how many people there are."

The emperor took a deep breath and nodded, "Okay, you reported it in a timely manner."

"Your Majesty." Concubine Yue Gui was anxious, "Your Majesty, what should we do now? Sure enough, Zi Yan guessed it right. Shi Qi is going to attack us."

"Don't be afraid, stay in the palace obediently, what he wants is the throne. Besides, he may not be able to win the throne."

"However, Your Majesty, my concubine remembers that the military power outside Xiguan is in the hands of Mo Yun. There are 3 soldiers if not [-]. If he still mobilizes the soldiers there, how can we rely on the [-] troops in our capital?" able to match."

Concubine Yue's words are not without reason.

This is something that everyone in the court knows.

Now that Mo Yun wants people, power and power, and gold and silver, he has fully met the conditions for rebellion.

He even said that he has a great chance of winning.

The emperor took a deep breath.

"Your Majesty, how are you?"

"Your Majesty, please don't get excited, it's the concubine who is talking too much." Concubine Yue Gui was frightened, she supported the emperor and kept stroking his chest.

Mo Ling became even more anxious. Now, the emperor was seriously injured, and the seventeen princes were approaching the city. This is an internal and external crisis. What should he do?
The emperor sat on the bed supported by Concubine Yue, and gradually calmed down a little.

"Father." Mo Ling couldn't help but stepped forward.

"A Ling, don't be afraid. Although Mo Yun is already stationed, it doesn't mean that we have no chance of winning." The emperor was thinking, and his eyes fell on Luo Ziyan. Luo Ziyan seemed to be thinking what.

"Ziyan, tell me, what do you think?"

Luo Ziyan raised his head, "Father, my son feels that since the Seventeenth Prince has made such a choice, he will not turn back easily. The imperial concubine also said that the Seventeenth Prince has power in his hands, but he is transferred into the team. , It will take more than half a month, but now is a good time for us to go up and compete, and at this time, the chances of winning are better."

The emperor nodded, "You're right, I think so too. In this way, I'm not feeling well right now, and I can't manage the government. I'll immediately send an order to let the crown prince go to the court for me to stabilize the court. I will enshrine you Luo Ziyan is a military officer of the first rank, the commander in chief of protecting the capital, commanding all the soldiers and horses in the capital, resisting Mo Yun's army, called Taohua, you first ensure the safety of the capital for the time being. In addition, I will order people to dispatch troops to the south to help the capital .what do you think?"

After the emperor's words fell, Mo Ling and Luo Ziyan both fell into deep thought.

After a while, Mo Ling said: "Father, my son-in-law thinks this is very good. My sister-in-law can be said to be my son-in-law's right-hand man, my son-in-law's backbone."

"This—" Luo Ziyan hesitated.

He is not very willing to start these things.

"Ziyan, do you have any other choice? At this moment, that's the only option." The emperor said.

"That's good, my son obeys the emperor's order."

"Okay, I'm going to preach the imperial decree. By the way, I will also appease the hearts of the people."

"Yes!"

In less than a quarter of an hour, the imperial decree was written.

With a snap, the emperor threw the pen aside, and said in a voiceless voice, "Call the boss, and go deliver the decree."

Then the whole body tilted and leaned back on the chair.

Concubine Yue felt distressed when she saw it, "Your Majesty, come and lie down first."

"Well, I know. Ah Ling, Ziyan, I will hand over the current capital to you. And Tao Hua, I don't know how advanced her archery skills are. With you here, I can Don't worry. Ah Ling, you are still young, there are many people in the court, you have to be on guard, we don't know if there is anyone in the court who belongs to Mo Yun, you must be cautious in your words and deeds."

After saying some words, the emperor was already too weak to be worthy of words.

Mo Ling was heartbroken, tears filled his eyes, "Yes, Royal Father, I know this, I will definitely do my best."

"Well, I've protected you for so many years, and I didn't protect you in vain. Now, it's time for you to come out and come out."

"Yes, Father."

The emperor waved his hand, "Go, go and get busy, I have a noble concubine here, so nothing will happen."

"Yes, Erchen retire."

Withdrawing from Chengqian Palace, Mo Ling felt extremely uncomfortable.

"Ziyan, I'm so annoyed. All these years, I've always thought about my own clean life. I never thought about sharing worries for my father. I'm too selfish."

"Prince, now is not the time to think about these things. The news that the Seventeenth Prince's army is coming to the city will soon spread. You should go to your business."

"Yes." Mo Ling raised his head, "I can't waste any more time. Ziyan, you are now the commander in chief of protecting the capital, and the safety of the capital will be entrusted to you. I will be in charge of the court."

Luo Ziyan nodded, "Okay."

After parting from the gate of Chengqian Palace with Mo Ling, Luo Ziyan sighed and left the palace.

Now that he is the commander in chief protecting the capital, he must immediately go to see how many troops there are in the capital, how capable the soldiers are, and how he should defend this city gate in case Mo Yun wants to attack.

He stepped out of the palace gate, outside, Qin Wu and Qi Ying had already greeted him.

"Master, we all know the emperor's will, and we also know that outside, the Seventeenth Prince has rebelled." Qin Wudao: "Young Master needs us to do anything, just order it."

"Yes, we will do our best to serve the young master." It was Qiying who said this.

Luo Ziyan walked forward and glanced at Qiying, "Are you sure you want to stay?"

"Yes, as long as the young master is willing to take in his subordinates, the subordinates will stay. Anyway, now that the Fifteenth Prince's revenge has been avenged, the subordinates have nowhere else to go. It's rare that the subordinates can meet someone like the young master."

"Okay, since you said that, I won't be polite to you anymore. From now on, you and Qin Wu are all mine."

"Yes, my subordinate understands."

Qin Wu and Qiying followed Luo Ziyan's pace.

"Master, where are we going now?"

"Go to the military mansion and the city gate."

The military mansion in the capital city was very lively at this time, and many generals gathered in one place in twos and threes, talking about the sudden mutiny initiated by the Seventeenth Prince.

On the one hand, they also received the imperial decree that Luo Ziyan, the son-in-law, has become the commander in chief of protecting the capital and the highest-ranking military officer in the entire capital.

So, they also came out to greet them.
