The whole family of villains criticized her wildly, but the princess treated her with medical treatm

"There must be some fraud involved!"

Lin Feng, the captain of Baidi Prefecture who came to pick up Yan Yang, heard this and clenched his fists angrily, "General Xiao Qin's family is still in Yundu. Although Yan was deposed from his title, he was not It affects the Qin family. The title of Marquis Qinchuan is still there, and the Qin family has not been raided."

Yan Yang's mother, son, and two sisters all had their titles revoked.

In other words, Qin Zhaoyi's mother, Yan Yun, the lord of Yiyang County, was deprived of her title of county lord.

But this only meant that Yan Yun lost a thousand households of food, and Qinchuanhou did not move. He was still the minister of the Ministry of Industry. The Ministry of Industry is not a powerful department. It is at the bottom of the six ministries. In addition, Qin Zhaoyi's father took the blame for the late emperor's large-scale construction of Buddhist temples, so his influence and reputation have always been very low. That is to say, the eldest princess gave him many mechanical drawings. , after building many machines that benefited the country and the people, Qin Chuanhou's reputation began to improve a little.

The regent Yan Yang died, and Li Fan wanted to deal with the remnants of the Yan party. According to the weight ratio, the first was to attack the right prime minister Yan Xi, the second was to attack the Cui family who was the leader of the five surnames and the seven hopes, and the third was to attack just now. The promoted Minister of Rites, Yan Ji, took action, and the fourth was Qin Zhaoyi's father.

"No, you don't understand."

Zong Zhengyuanzhi had a sad face and his voice was extremely heavy, "This has nothing to do with deception or deception, real surrender or fake surrender! As long as General Xiao Qin surrenders, this issue will rise to the judicial level. According to the laws of Yunhuang Kingdom, , the generals on the battlefield were captured and surrendered to the empire. They were punished as treason and all their families were beheaded. The assassins of the three clans were exiled as official slaves. All their official positions were dismissed and all their titles were stripped! And future generations are not allowed to serve as officials in the court again!"

Lin Feng's lips lost color instantly, as if he had eaten a dead child.

Fuyou's eyes were red, and he was accumulating a pool of tears. He choked and asked, "Then...where is Her Royal Highness the eldest princess? Are her two sons going to die?"

How could this happen?

The life of the eldest princess must be too miserable. First, the husband was defeated and died in battle, and was deprived of his title and military power; then his nephew surrendered and rebelled against the country, and the three clans were tragically implicated.

"The eldest princess is a member of the royal family, and she is the only child of the late emperor. No matter what happens, the emperor and Li Dang cannot do anything to her. But -"

Zong Zhengyuanzhi changed the topic and sighed, "It's hard to say about her two children. According to the law, they should have a golden seal of shame tattooed on their cheeks, be exiled, and not allowed to return home without an order. Those two children are young. , it is very likely that he will be tortured and die in exile."

Fuyou's heart was about to break: "Is there any way to save me?"

Zongzheng Yuanzhi thought for a moment.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up: "Does one of the eldest princess's two sons take his mother's surname Xie?"

"Yes, thank you Mr. Wuya."

"Quick! Before the news of Qin Zhaoyi's surrender and treason could reach Yundu, Babaili rushed to write a letter to the eldest princess, asking her to quickly change her eldest son Yan Ze's surname to Xie Ze! Perhaps, there is still a glimmer of hope. !”

Mizhou, where Zongzheng Yuanzhi was located, was separated from the fallen area in the north by a river.

Therefore, if there is any situation over there, it will be reported soon.

After Beiyu Kingdom obtained eight cities in the north, it established an Anbei Protectorate there, commanded by the eldest prince Yuwen Pojun, to govern these eight cities and a county on the Beiyu border. Qin Zhaoyi was locked in the prison of the Anbei Protectorate.

"Can it be done?"

"It will take at least four or five days for the news of the surrender to reach Yundu, even if we work hard. We have to be the first to inform the eldest princess of the news, so that she can quickly change the child's surname before Qin Zhaoyi's treason is carried out! "

Zong Zhengyuanzhi immediately went to prepare an urgent shipment eight hundred miles away.

The last time Yan Yang was still alive, he rushed eight hundred miles. He secretly spent a lot of money and arrived in three days.

"The child's surname has been changed. The eldest princess can call her a descendant of the Xie family instead of a descendant of the Yan family. With her power, she has the opportunity to protect the two young masters from being exiled!"

*. *. *

Three days later.

Mu Tingxue and Marquis Qinchuan were busy at the arsenal on the outskirts of the city.

"Your Highness, it's finished."

Qin Chuanhou held the tool in his hand, his face was gray and covered with iron filings, and he pointed to a large mechanical crossbow in front of him with a look of relief, "According to your request, the siege equipment will be produced within ten days." , Bali died..."

"ballista."

Mu Tingxue said the correct pronunciation.

"Ah yes, Bali Death."

Qin Chuanhou blinked, unable to learn the strange pronunciation of the eldest princess.

Mu Tingxue smiled and said, "Okay, I'll tell Bali to die."

The so-called balliseta is the most powerful and successful large-scale mechanical crossbow in the ancient Roman era. It is even extremely famous in the history of world wars. It has a well-known nickname - the penetrator.

The walls of the palace are very hard, and the 100,000 forbidden troops are not under her control. If you want to win, you must have powerful siege equipment!

There were no artillery, no missiles, and the only siege weapon Mu Tingxue could imagine was the famous ballista.

The huge arrows it fires can easily penetrate any known shield and armor, with a killing range of five to eight hundred meters. If it is within a range of two hundred meters, it can penetrate three inches of solid wood or even stone walls!

More importantly, the weapons it fires are not static. They include not only large arrows, but also javelins, stones, iron balls soaked in kerosene, incendiary bombs, etc.

In the ancient Roman Empire's army in its heyday, each legion was equipped with a large number of ballistas.

"Your Highness, do you really want to take this step?"

When things got to this point, after the regent died in battle, the eldest princess immediately occupied the arsenal and arsenal, and captured the Marquis of Qinchuan to build this large siege ballista with extremely lethal power.

No matter how slow Qin Chuanhou is, he can still guess the eldest princess's intention!

So shocking.

Yan Yang's daughter-in-law actually planned to launch a palace coup. Under extreme headwinds, she attempted to use military and force to force a comeback!

"Second brother-in-law, we have no way out."

Mu Tingxue's face did not change, her eyes were extremely firm, and she did not flinch at all, "The building will collapse, and there will be no eggs left behind. We have no evidence of leaving the party and collaborating with the enemy. Even Zhaoyi is controlled by the Beiyu Empire. Here, we are beyond our reach, and the enemy is determined not to return the prisoners during the peace talks."

This is what worries her the most.

On the day Li Fan and the eldest princess came to Qihuang Palace to force their marriage, they had secretly threatened Qin Zhaoyi with her intentions.

"Hey--"

When mentioning his son, Marquis Qinchuan had a sad expression on his face, as if he had aged ten years. "Beiyu Nation did this on purpose. We offered to redeem him for five million silver, but even Beiyu's negotiating envoys refused to let go."
