After the divorce, I became the Lord of the Six Houses

Chapter 163
Hearing what the people said, Su Jingyan couldn't help but sneered and said, "You really think Xiao Ting's traitor entered Chang'an City and you will have a good life? It's ridiculous!"

A bold commoner among the crowd said: "The Regent is dedicated to serving the people and His Majesty, but it is a pity that His Majesty trusted you, the Su family, and you have been instigating him to attack the Regent!"

Su Jingyan said loudly: "Your Majesty will attack the Regent? Your Majesty has always respected the Regent. Even if the woman in the Queen Regent's backyard committed a serious crime of causing the two princesses of the county to abort, His Majesty will still spare the Regent for military merits in Xiliang!"
Today Xiao Ting used the Su family as an excuse to plot rebellion in order to win the Ninth Five-Year Position. His Majesty has never treated the regent badly, nor has he ever intended to do anything to the regent.

If the Prince Regent thought of His Majesty wholeheartedly, and His Majesty went out to fight in person yesterday, how could Xiao Ting dare to attack His Majesty?

What's more, He Zhimin, the side concubine of the Prince Regent, already has ironclad evidence of the Prince Regent's rebellion.

If you people have been to Luoyang, you know that it is closer to Luoyang if you walk from Longxi City to Yongcheng. Why did Xiao Ting know that the imperial army is in Chang'an, so he didn't go to attack Yongcheng?

That's because Xiao Ting's army rations are almost gone, and Chang'an is much richer than Yongcheng, if the regent's soldiers invade Chang'an, you people will be the first to have a bad life! "

The people below heard what Su Jingyan said, and they didn't believe it. Several singers in bright clothes said one after another:

"Isn't the empress saying this because your Su family is greedy for life and afraid of death? Don't you want to give up your current glory and wealth? As long as you are willing to return the power to your majesty, the regent will definitely not make trouble again. The regent is the best person." gone."

"Yes, we would not be able to live today without the regent. We are from Yuncheng. During the three years of fighting in Xiliang, the people of Yuncheng are in dire straits. Fortunately, the regent defeated Xiliang! Only then can we live a stable life !"

"That's right, if the Prince Regent can capture Xiliang as soon as possible, my sister won't starve to death. Thanks to the Prince Regent, now that Xiliang is gone, no one will starve to death in Yuncheng."

Su Jingyan looked, and the looks of these women were indeed more like Yuncheng, she said coldly: "Do you know why Yuncheng has no food these years, and why people starve to death?
It's because Xiao Ting recruited the young and middle-aged people in Yuncheng into the army, and no one cultivated them. The imperial court repeated orders to guarantee the cultivation of grain on the border, but Xiao Ting still ignored his will and recruited a large number of soldiers. He used the excuse of attacking Xiliang at the beginning, and we couldn't stop it .

Now it can be seen that he wants so many soldiers to seek rebellion. Since Xiao Ting raised his troops to seek rebellion, he has purchased food in Yuncheng and Shacheng wantonly, not to mention the life and death of the people.

However, the imperial court exempted the agricultural tax during the war, in order to stabilize the country and prevent the people from starving to death. Some people in Yuncheng were starved to death, and that was Xiao Ting's fault!
Besides, if His Majesty was really deceived by my Su family, shouldn't my Su family protect His Majesty and escape?If the Su family blackmailed the emperor to order the princes, wouldn't it be enough to ensure His Majesty's safety?

But His Majesty came to Chang'an personally, precisely because the Su family had no intention of taking over the imperial power at all! "

Su Jingyan looked around the crowd, and continued: "You say that the Su family is greedy for power, greedy for life and afraid of death, and you don't even think about it. If this is true, our Su family will not send two young masters to the battlefield. Not here!

Your Majesty is thinking of the people of Chang'an who will conquest in person regardless of danger, which shows His Majesty's bravery, but do you still think that His Majesty was deceived by the Su family because of his young age?
His Majesty can flee south and continue to enjoy the food, drink and power in the south, but he never thought of giving up any of his subjects.

I am the same, if I am really greedy for power, greedy for life and afraid of death, I can play around with my newborn daughter in Luoyang City today.

Today I am here to persuade everyone to protect Chang'an City with the imperial court. If you don't believe me, the gate of Chang'an City is there, and those who want to leave today and those who want to take refuge in Xiao Ting can leave Chang'an! "

Su Jingyan doesn't want to protect these fools.

Among the common people, a few elderly people came out and said, "Your Majesty, don't be angry with these young people. These young people don't remember. The reason why Yuncheng has been safe for so many years is because Duke Xuan attacked them when he was young. Xiliang!

If it weren't for the foundation laid by Duke Xuan, how could the Regent capture Xiliang so easily? "

"The officials under the Su family are all good officials who do practical things for the people, and many of them are scholars and students from poor families. If the Su family was not kind, the people would be in dire straits!"

Seeing more and more people speaking for the Su family, Su Jingyan couldn't help being moved: "Those who say that the regent raised troops to deal with the Su family may wish to think about it.

If a nephew in your family marries a wife, and you don’t like his wife’s family thinking that his wife’s family will rob your nephew’s family property, what will you do?
To help guard the family business, or to find the servant to beat the nephew's house and force the nephew to divorce his wife?Where in the world is there such a good thing for my nephew?

Xiao Ting's ambition to become the throne is written all over his face. If he had the people in his heart, he wouldn't cause the people in Yuncheng and Shacheng to have no food to eat. Four years ago, Yuncheng was under the management of the imperial court. But prosperity does not lose Chang'an.

Why don't you think about it carefully, do you want Chang'an to become a cloud city and Shacheng again, or do you try your best to protect the prosperity of Chang'an with the court? "

The older people have knelt down to Su Jingyan one after another, willing to defend with their bodies.

Among the young people there are some who are still hesitating, but many of them don't trust Xiao Ting as much as before.

……

Xiao Ting suffered a defeat yesterday and was very angry. He never thought that the Beishan Army, which the little emperor had only practiced for more than half a year, would be so powerful.

He underestimated the enemy yesterday.

Xiao Ting, who hadn't slept all night, recalled last night's defeat with red eyes.

Yu Wenzhou walked up to Xiao Ting and said: "Your Majesty, we have to attack Chang'an City with all our might. Now there is not much food left, and the number of defenders in Chang'an City is less than half of our army. We must attack as soon as possible." For good."

Xiao Ting's eyes were full of red blood and he said: "It is to attack as soon as possible, come here, give orders, the whole army will attack the city at night!"

In Chang'an City, Su Jingyan lobbied for a whole day, and her throat was almost dry. She really didn't know that Xiao Ting's popularity in the northwest was so high.

As soon as she returned to the palace, she heard the sound of horns. Su Jingyan climbed up to the palace wall to have a look, only to see arrows with flaming feathers flying across the night sky and entering the city of Chang'an.

The sound of gongs and horns was constantly beating in the city. It turned out that Xiao Ting's army was attacking from various gates.

Su Jingyan saw the Suzaku Gate in the northeast, where the troops were the weakest.

Even Yan Junwan's women's army who was on standby went to the gate of Suzaku City. When the women's army arrived, the rebel soldiers had already boarded the city wall!
Yan Junwan ordered the army to guard the city gate.

Su Jingyan frowned when she saw the rebels coming one after another like a wave, she changed clothes with Yingchun and other maids, and stood guard at the gate of the city. When a rebel entered the city, she took a bow and arrow to kill a rebel military.

Only then did Su Jingyan know why Xiao Yi felt so uncomfortable after killing the rebels, but she had no choice but to fight to the death.

As long as they survived for ten days, Xiao Ting's soldiers would definitely have no food!

Seeing her former colleagues die in front of her, Yan Junwan said to Su Jing: "Empress, this place cannot be defended by the women's army alone. There are too many of them."

Su Jing said: "Which city gates are not many? Now we can only stick to it, stick to it!
Dear sisters, if you can win today's desperate struggle, I will definitely reward you all in the future!

I would rather die tonight to guard the gate of Suzaku City, to let the world know that our women's army is not just playing around, and it's not that we are inferior to men! "
