Liu Song Hanque

Chapter 500

Pei Fangming and An Jie fought and retreated, finally reached the city wall, and three of the soldiers around them also died in battle.

"Go down!"

Hanging down from the city wall in a little embarrassment, the Song army who had ambushed outside Yanmen Pass early also stepped forward to respond.

"withdraw!"

Song Jun was a little confused: "Stop fighting?"

"do not fight."

Pei Fangming gritted his teeth when he said these three words.

He is actually not reconciled!
As long as Wang Huilong doesn't come today, no!Even if it is a few hours late, the Yanmen Pass has fallen into the hands of Song Jun!
In other words, just a few hours away, Liu Song lost the opportunity to wipe out the great enemy of the Northern Wei Dynasty in one fell swoop!

An Jie also looked at the tall city wall of Yanmen Pass with resentment: "General! How about we shut it down!"

This is a plan to take advantage of the turmoil in the customs to fish in troubled waters!
But Pei Fangming looked at the army behind him and shook his head.

The original plan was to allow these Song troops to easily enter the city and take over Yanmen Pass.

Therefore, these troops did not bring large siege equipment with them when they came, and rushed to attack the city with their bodies, which was almost giving Wang Huilong his head for nothing.

"Withdraw, tell Chang'an what happened tonight."

"After this incident, this Yanmen... I'm afraid it's not you and I who can take it down with Jinyang's strength."

--------

Gu Bi's rebellion caused a lot of waves in both Song and Wei countries.

Cui Hao and Changsun Song both experienced great sorrow and great joy after they found out about this incident in Pingcheng, which made them almost look a few years old in just a few breaths.

After that, Cui Hao didn't dare to transfer Wang Huilong away at will, so he had to let him lead his troops to accept Gu Bi's soldiers to continue guarding Yanmen to guard against the Song army.

Compared to Northern Wei who was startled into a cold sweat, Liu Song's reaction...or Liu Yizhen's reaction was a bit strange.

Chang'an, Tai Chi Palace.

Hall of Liangyi.

Wang Xiu, Wang Zhen'e, Wang Maide, Gao Yun, Shen Tianzi, Zhu Lingshi, Tan Daoji, Yin Jingren, Liu Zhan...

All the big shots are standing at the closed door of Liangyi Hall with numb legs, just waiting for the emperor inside.

Tan Daoji asked Wang Zhen'e beside him: "How long has the Son of Heaven been like this?"

"It's been three days."

Wang Zhen'e's eyebrows revealed deep worry: "Ever since the emperor learned about Jinyang and Hebei, he locked himself in the Hall of Liangyi. He didn't drink a drop of water or eat a grain of rice."

Tan Daoji also became anxious: "How can this be done? If something happens to the emperor at this juncture, it will be a disaster."

"And why can't you even get in? Could it be that Fan Daoji, who guards the Hall of Two Forms, falsely preached the holy order?"

Wang Zhen'e rolled his eyes: "How is it possible? Fan Daoji himself went in to persuade the emperor, but he was thrown out by the emperor."

"Don't talk about me, even Wang Shangshu can't get in."

Even though the two servants of Shangshu in the Liu Song Dynasty are both surnamed Wang, everyone subtly believes that "Wang Shangshu" refers to Wang Xiu in particular.

As we all know, Wang Xiu and Wang Zhen'e are the closest to the Son of Heaven in the ruling and opposition parties, followed by Wang Maide, Gao Yun and others.

Even Wang Xiu was rejected by the emperor, so it is conceivable that something will happen this time.

"It's not just Wang Shangshu."

Zhu Lingshi's face beside him was also a bit ugly: "Yesterday, someone from the Langya Wang family was invited to the Queen's Palace to speak, but it is said that even the Queen's request to see the emperor was rejected."

Everyone present felt a stomach ache after hearing this.

Even the Queen can't get in, God knows what Liu Yizhen is doing inside.

"What about the Empress Dowager Sun?"

The ignorant Shen Tianzi greeted several cold gazes after asking a question.

It was Wang Zhen'e, an old friend, who explained to him: "The queen mother is the queen mother, and the emperor is the emperor. You must not disturb the queen mother until the end of the world!"

When the Queen Mother came, this nature changed.As long as Liu Yi is really careful, it will be a political catastrophe.

Seeing the serious expressions on everyone's faces, Shen Tianzi also knew that he had made a bad idea, so he decisively shut up.

"Why don't you... invite the prince and Tao Gong?"

At this moment, Wang Maide and Gao Yun thought of the two elders of the emperor——

Wang Hong and Tao Yuanming.

Even though Wang Hong pushed the government and the public to live in seclusion behind the scenes, the relationship between him and the emperor was far from being as simple as a monarch and his ministers.

Not to mention Tao Yuanming, the matter of his old man and the eldest princess is a well-known secret in Chang'an City.

Hearing this sound idea, everyone unanimously turned their attention to Wang Xiu.

As the prime minister of the empire and the chief steward of Liu Song, only Wang Xiu was the last person to take the case when the emperor was away.

Wang Xiu still had a calm face.

The breeze blew a few strands of white hair from his temples, and Wang Xiu's eyes flashed these silver strands, and there was a bit of inexplicable melancholy in his eyes: "So I'm already so old."

Everyone didn't quite understand Wang Xiu's sudden sadness, only Wang Zhen'e seemed to understand a little bit, and the melancholy between his brows disappeared in an instant.

"I'm going to invite the prince and Duke Tao."

Both Wang Hong and Tao Yuanming had the right to enter the palace at will. The two of them rode a carriage to the Liangyi Hall and stood at the front with somewhat staggering steps.

"It's been three days since I thought of the old man, you guys."

Wang Hong and Tao Yuanming are close friends, and their qualifications are scary. When the two elders reprimand others, others can only accept it obediently with their heads down.

"Your Majesty, Duke Tao, we only went to bother your two elders when we really had nothing to do."

Gao Yun saluted the two elders on behalf of everyone.

"In any case, please ask the second elder to persuade the emperor to come out first. It would be bad if the emperor really suffocated in it."

Tao Yuanming was about to rush up the stairs of Liangyi Hall, but Wang Hong stretched out his hand to stop him.

The drooping eyelids still couldn't block the flickering light in the eyes, Wang Hong came to Wang Xiu's side and looked at him.

"You and I know that the emperor locked himself up because he couldn't figure it out. He is not that kind of person."

"The reason why he locked himself up is because the emperor has already thought clearly and is making final preparations."

Wang Xiu did not refute: "No matter what, I will stand up for the last post for the emperor."

Wang Hong responded with a smile: "The Taizu was right, and of course Your Majesty is right."

"In that case, I will invite Your Majesty again!"

Arching his hands towards Wang Xiu, as if saying goodbye, supporting Gao Yun's right hand, Wang Hong walked step by step to the closed door outside the Liangyi Hall.

Fan Daoji, who was on duty in front of the hall, saw that it was Wang Hong coming, so he turned his body slightly to one side, revealing the position of the gate.

But Wang Hong didn't push the door directly to enter, but shouted with his slightly hoarse voice outside the door: "Wang Hong begs to see the Son of Heaven! May the Son of Heaven be safe!"

silence.

The empty door didn't respond.

Wang Hong turned his head and looked at Wang Xiu, the look in his eyes became more determined, and when he was about to say hello again, the door opened slowly by itself.

"I bow down!"
