The Reborn Wife is Farming

Chapter 542: The End (Part 1)

Emperor Jingyan and his ministers were surrounded outside Lin'an City by front and back attacks. The emperor found the two princes and said: "I asked someone to send you out. Whoever survives will inherit the great rule."

The two children were terrified, but not happy. The seven-year-old Eighth Prince couldn't help asking: "Father, can the world still be peaceful?"

Emperor Jing Yan remained silent, but asked someone to take the two princes down separately, and divided the armed forces secretly protecting him into two parts, letting them rush out when the imperial army broke through, and escort them out as much as possible.

"Go to General Yuan and Qi Xiuyuan..." The emperor realized at this moment that he had no one he could trust completely. It would be great if Grand Tutor Yan was still alive...

Emperor Jingyan wanted to break out of the siege, but the second prince didn't want to kill the king again in full view, so he sent envoys over, willing to honor Emperor Jingyan as the Supreme Emperor.

Emperor Jingyan had been confused all his life, worried and indecisive all his life, but this time he was very resolute, he didn't agree to be the Supreme Emperor, but sent people to break out at night.

The 50,000 imperial guards went out to kill under the order of the imperial guard commander, just to win a chance for the two princes. Emperor Jing Yan and his ministers sat in the tent and listened to the shouts of killing outside all night.

When daylight was approaching, the commander of the dark guard came in covered in blood and reported, "Your Majesty, the eighth and tenth princes have been sent away." Whether they can escape the pursuit depends on their abilities.

"Your Majesty, let the commander of the imperial army escort you away, there are veterans waiting to support you."

Emperor Jing Yan shook his head slightly, sighed and said: "I can't leave, thank you all the Qing family for being with me these few days. The second son's bastard should not embarrass you, when the time comes, you also put away your stubborn temper and let him go." go."

"My lord!"

"I am getting old, if one of the two princes establishes the country in the future, I will still have to rely on the help of the ministers, so you have to take care of your health."

In the evening, when the setting sun was like blood, the second prince's rebel army and the Xixia cavalry teamed up to take down the emperor's 50,000 imperial troops and rushed into the central tent.

Emperor Jingyan was wearing a dragon robe and sat in the middle tent, looked up at the Xixia general, then turned to look at the second prince, and asked, "If you say you want the throne, just put it bluntly, I will give it to you." So what? Why do you want to do rebellion in this precarious time? Dazhou is about to perish, and I don’t want to be a subjugated king.”

The second prince said with a blank face: "Father said so, but he may not think so in his heart. The Jingzhao Incident more than 20 years ago, everyone said that Da Zhou was going to die, but didn't he die too? This time the situation has improved , Xixia has allied with our Great Zhou, and our Great Zhou will surely prosper for a hundred years, so how can we talk about subjugation?"

Emperor Jingyan was annoyed: "Xixia slaughtered my people, do you think the people will agree to negotiate peace? Qi Haoran is still leading the army to fight Xixia."

The second prince showed a sarcastic smile on his face, "If father really thinks so, how can he spare Qin Xiang's life? Don't you also want to negotiate peace with Xixia? But the condition that my son gave Xixia is more generous."

Emperor Jing Yan choked, and was speechless immediately. He really planned to do so, but he hadn't had time to do it in the future.

The courtiers kneeling under Emperor Jingyan looked at the emperor in disbelief. It turned out that this was the reason why the emperor kept Qin Xiang in the palace and did not kill him.

Some of the upright courtiers felt ashamed.

Emperor Jingyan looked at Qin Xiang and asked: "I have clearly promised you, why are you doing this?"

Qin Xiang didn't speak.

"For more than 20 years, I have thought that I have treated you well. Even if the people asked you to be executed before, I will protect you with all my strength..."

"Your Majesty," Qin Xiang interrupted him, "the matter has already happened, so it is useless to talk about it. If you still have any wish, just say it."

Emperor Jing Yan choked, looked down at the kneeling courtiers below, and said, "Don't hold them accountable."

Qin Xiang showed a smile and said: "Naturally, several adults are the pillars of the country. As long as they are aware of current affairs, the new emperor will not embarrass them, but will rely on them."

The second prince nodded beside him.

Emperor Jingyan closed his eyes slightly, and the guards outside came in to take all the idlers away, and a servant came in to bathe and change clothes for Emperor Jingyan.

Even if he was going to die, he could die with dignity, because he was the emperor.

The second prince sat in another tent and felt restless, Qin Xiang immediately got up and said: "Your Majesty, let me send the late emperor off."

The second prince rolled his eyes, wishing for what he wanted, after all, he was his father-in-law, and if he really wanted to kill him, he would have to bear a lot of psychological pressure.

Qin Xiang brought a jug of poisoned wine to see the emperor. The emperor had finished grooming and was eating his last meal.

Seeing this, the internal servants retreated one after another, and the soldiers outside were guarded layer by layer, because the second prince was waiting for the last moment, but he didn't realize that those people were all Xixia people, and his bodyguards had already been assigned to the other side.

The emperor looked at Prime Minister Qin.

Qin Xiang sat opposite him, looked at the emperor who was about the same age as him, but was more than twenty years older than him, sighed, and said: "Your Majesty, twenty years of your monarch and my ministers are considered appropriate, but it's a pity that you have been in the past two years." You shouldn't be suspicious of me."

Emperor Jingyan was stunned, and then furious, "It turns out that everything was calculated by you. Yes, the situation has gotten out of control since I killed your minions. Their corpses are a vegetarian meal. What's wrong with me killing them? You actually took the entire Zhou Dynasty?" Come and fight me."

Qin Xiang sneered, shook his head and said, "So you shouldn't be suspicious of me. Without me, you really can't do anything. It's me and Taifu Yan who have spoiled you all these years."

Speaking of this, he lowered his face and said: "It's true that their corpses are vegetarian, and it's true that they should be executed for their crimes. If the emperor makes them subdue the law in an open and aboveboard way, at most, I will fight with you, and it will definitely not cause trouble in the future." With so many things, do you think that the thieves were instigated by the minister? Little do you know that it is the minister that they most want to kill, not your majesty."

"Without Da Zhou, not only the royal family of the Guo family will die, but my Qin family will also be wiped out. It's a pity that you can't see this, otherwise many things will not happen in the future. At this time, you are still doing well. In front of your emperor, I am still in front of my prime minister."

Emperor Jingyan was not smart, but more than 20 years ago, he had two advantages, one was that he could listen to the opinions of his courtiers, and the other was that he was diligent in governing. It was precisely these two points that Taifu Yan chose him to be the emperor.

Except that he didn't listen to the opinions of his courtiers on the matter of giving up Jingzhao Mansion and fleeing south, Emperor Jingyan performed well in the five years after arriving in Lin'an City. settle down.

But the emperor gradually became lazy. When the number of concubines in the harem increased and the life in the south of the Yangtze River gradually recovered, the emperor became more and more fond of pleasure, and naturally became more and more stupid. But at this time, Prime Minister Qin has gradually stepped onto the political stage and can help The emperor handles government affairs.
