Chapter 96: The Proud Little Princess and the Iron-blooded General (31)
Beijing,
"Report, Your Majesty, something bad has happened. The Dongyi army has captured seventeen cities and is approaching the capital. General Feng, General Yang, and General Li have all been killed in the battle."
"What?" Yan Lie staggered back to the dragon throne, "Quick, let General Ma and General He prepare for the defense of the capital."
"Yes."
Yan Lie consoled himself by thinking that there were still 100,000 troops outside the capital, so it should be fine, it should be fine...
There was an uproar in the hall. The people of the capital had been in a panic recently and many had already fled. Even many officials' families had fled the capital early.
Yan Lie thought for a moment and said, "How about letting Dong Linpei come back? Isn't he good at fighting?"
"Your Majesty, if General Dong returns with a large army, what will happen to Beidi?"
"Then what do you say we should do? This won't work, and that won't work either."
The ministers were helpless.
They just hoped that General Ma and General He could hold off the Dongyi people from outside, but everyone knew in their hearts that Dasheng’s luck might be coming to an end.
A few days later, Yan Lie found that fewer people attended the court. He asked Desheng and learned that many people were sick. He hurriedly ended the morning court with a bitter taste in his mouth.
He understood that he might not be able to protect the legacy left by his ancestors.
The ministers were also in a panic. Everyone understood that they could not get over this hurdle. Some ministers had already fled secretly, and many loyal ministers had long since given up the idea of escaping.
If a country is no longer a country, how can it be a home?
Dong Linpei said worriedly, "Xue'er, the current Dongyi King Shi Fang is ruthless. I don't think this is a test. It's possible..."
Yan Xue nodded, "I know, you are ready to go."
"You're thinking?"
Yan Xue narrowed her eyes slightly, "The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it."
Dong Linpei smiled and knew that this little woman would not suffer any loss, so he went downstairs to make arrangements immediately.
The battle lasted for another month, and both the Dongyi and Dasheng sides suffered heavy losses. General He guarded the city gate desperately and did not let a single Dongyi person get in.
However, because the Dongyi's battle line was too long, the supply of materials and the deployment of troops faced tremendous pressure, and the soldiers gradually felt exhausted.
This protracted war cost both sides a heavy price, but no one dared to retreat or give up easily.
At this time, Yan Lie was hiding in his own bedroom. He watched Immortal Zhang bring the golden elixir and took it with trembling hands, "Immortal Zhang, if you eat it, you will really be immortal."
"Your Majesty, don't worry. This elixir was passed down by my master. He is now over 500 years old." Upon hearing this, Yan Lie ate it without hesitation.
After taking a deep breath, I felt relaxed all over and fell asleep on the bed.
At this time, the entire capital was in chaos. Many ministers took their families and hid in the palace, and the queen also opened the door to facilitate their entry.
Li Taifu and his family also moved into the side hall of Kunning Palace early.
Master Li looked at his daughter, "Wan'er, why did you do this?"
"Father, what are you talking about? I didn't do anything."
Li Taifu looked at his daughter with cloudy eyes, "Do you think I don't know why the fifth princess died and why Shi Fang attacked Dasheng?"
"Father, what else do you want to say? I am just a woman in the palace, how would I know?"
Master Li's shoulders slumped and he staggered out.
Li Wan'er looked at her father's back with a complicated look in her eyes. She didn't expect that her father would actually know.
She never expected that Shi Fang would fall in love with the fifth princess and actually kill the previous King of Dongyi in advance. She also never expected that Shi Fang would demote his wife to a concubine and push the fifth princess to the position of wife for the sake of the fifth princess.
She felt uneasy, so she asked the maidservant she had arranged to be by the Fifth Princess' side to use some tricks, which resulted in the Fifth Princess being killed by Shi Fang's original wife.
Li Wan'er looked into the distance with determination in her heart. She was not wrong. Da Sheng was rotten inside and out. It would take destruction to rebuild.
At the morning court session, Yan Lie sat upright on the dragon throne, his eyes scanning the court, but there were only a handful of courtiers left, less than half of the number as before.
His face instantly became extremely gloomy, and he slapped the armrest angrily, his voice deafening, "I am not dead yet, and the Great Prosperity is not over yet, and these people are running away?"
The group of ministers below were terrified and knelt on the ground to apologize, but did not dare to look up.
At this moment, a guard rushed into the hall and knelt on one knee to report: "Your Majesty, General Ma unfortunately died on the battlefield!"
These words exploded in Yan Lie's ears like thunder. His body swayed violently and he stood up from the dragon throne with difficulty.
"You... say it again!" Yan Lie's eyes widened, staring at the guard in disbelief, his voice trembling so much that it was almost out of tune.
However, before the guard could respond, a fishy-sweet taste rushed up his throat. He couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, and then he fell limply to the ground.
The court was suddenly thrown into chaos. The ministers were panicked and shouted loudly for the imperial physician to come and treat the patient.
For a moment, the entire hall was filled with noise and an atmosphere of tension and panic.
The rear hall,
After the imperial physician took the emperor's pulse, he gently shook his head.
The queen waved her hand, and the two walked to the side hall. Doctor Sun bowed and said, "Your Majesty, there is no medicine that can cure the emperor at the moment. He can only last for a month at most."
Empress Li narrowed her eyes and looked at Doctor Sun and said, "No matter what method you use, you must support me for three months."
Imperial Physician Sun looked at the Empress in shock, nodded, and walked out.
She returned to the back hall, looked at the unconscious person on the bed, smiled and said, "How could you die so soon? You have to wait for my daughter to come back."
Dong Linpei and Yan Xue were leading an army of 300,000 soldiers on their way to Kyoto.
Yan Xue had not expected that the Dongyi in this life would move so quickly. A few days ago, she received intelligence that the Dongyi army was almost reaching Kyoto.
She didn't expect that the journey would take so long. After leaving Beijun, she found that the lives of the people in the outside world were so difficult!
The snowstorm two years ago and the flood this year have brought great disasters to people, and begging for food can be seen everywhere along the way.
On both sides of the spacious official road, groups of people in tattered clothes were walking forward with difficulty. Yan Xue could not turn a blind eye to their suffering, so she decided to lend a helping hand.
Not only did she set up soup kitchens along the way, but whenever she arrived in a county town, she would leave some people and food behind to assist the county magistrate in disaster relief.
Every time she entered a town, she would order the local county magistrate to distribute a batch of relief food and send someone to supervise its implementation.
In this way, in the dozen towns from Beijun to the capital, the refugees in each place knew that the rations they received came from the Sixth Princess.
So much so that later when Yan Xue passed through several other towns, people actually knelt down and shouted "Long live the Sixth Princess!"
