The Beidi Palace Incident did not last long and its intensity was extremely low.
Although Zhou Pu's official position could only be considered to be above average, with the death of the commander of the Forbidden Army and the support of Li Yu, Zhou Pu quickly took control of the entire Forbidden Army.
After Zhou Pu gave an order, the imperial troops counterattacked directly, sealing and surrounding the main hall and the harem.
King Beidi, who was in the main hall, heard the heavy footsteps coming from outside the hall and the sound of armors and weapons clashing. He immediately understood what was going on, but he did not panic or have any intention of resisting.
King Beidi knew that he had no power to change the situation and could only act as a lonely boat drifting with the tide and obey God's will.
When Li Yu and Zhou Pu joined forces and took control of the entire palace, they immediately sent people out of the palace to contact Wu Fangxu.
In the early morning of the next day, when Qin Feng was helping Li Yuxiao and Jing Qianying prepare a water basin and act as a good man, Ning Hu's shout suddenly came from outside.
"Brother Qin! Come out quickly, the Imperial Army has surrendered!"
After hearing this, Qin Feng suddenly became energetic. He threw down the basin and hurriedly ran to the front hall, where he saw all his cronies present.
Ning Hu and Xu Mo looked extremely excited. Although they were military generals, they would naturally be happy from the bottom of their hearts if they could capture the palace without any bloodshed.
Qin Feng quickly asked: "What is the situation in the palace now?"
Li Zhang had already learned about the situation in advance and could not hide his excitement: "After midnight last night, Li Yu and Zhou Pu, the commander of the Forbidden Army, first killed the commander of the Forbidden Army, and then took control of the entire Forbidden Army. Now the palace has completely fallen into the hands of Li Yu and Zhou Pu inside."
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng was not in a hurry to get excited, but asked: "Li Yu is a man of many tricks. Is he really surrendering or is he pretending to surrender?"
Seeing Qin Feng being so careful, Li Zhang understood that Qin Feng was still wary of Li Yu in his heart. After all, he was the leader of Night Owl!
Li Zhang shook his head and said that he didn't know much about the actual situation in the palace now.
However, he quickly added: "No matter what Li Yu and Zhou Pu's plans are, since they have decided to surrender, let them open the city gate and first mobilize two-thirds of the Forbidden Army to disarm, and the remaining Forbidden Army, Guard the King of Beidi and his heirs in the palace."
"Then my army will enter the palace and take over."
"If Li Yu really surrenders, then he will naturally agree to this request. If he refuses, then it is necessary to consider that this person is pretending to surrender."
Qin Feng nodded and accepted all Li Zhang's suggestions.
As the saying goes, you must not have the intention to harm others, and you must not have the intention to guard against others.
Even if the overall situation is determined now, if there are still a group of dead soldiers in the palace, and when Qin Feng leads his army to take over, they suddenly attack and cause a large number of casualties, then the battle for the palace will be a bit anticlimactic.
Qin Feng and his confidants will naturally not rush into the palace. Only when the situation is completely controlled and the palace has been searched inside and outside, Qin Feng can enter with peace of mind.
Qin Feng immediately gave Li Zhang full authority to take over the palace. He only needed to wait for news with Jing Qianying outside the palace.
After the discussion was completed, Li Zhang turned around and left. Qin Feng also returned to the backyard and told Jing Qianying the good news immediately.
At this time, the female relatives in the backyard had already gotten up. Jing Qianying, Li Xiaolan, and Shen Qingci had finished washing and were sitting together around the brazier to keep warm.
Xiao Xiangxiang and Shufeng were busy making breakfast.
"Qianying, good news! Great news! The palace has been saved."
Hearing this, Jing Qianying couldn't help but his eyes lit up: "The palace surrendered?"
Qin Feng nodded repeatedly, sat directly between Jing Qianying and Li Xiaolan, and said excitedly: "If nothing else happens, they should have surrendered. Now we just need to guard against Li Yu's empty city strategy."
"We can enter the palace in two or three days at the earliest and four days at the latest."
After hearing the good news, the joy on Jing Qianying's face was visible to the naked eye. She felt like a stone was weighing on her heart and it completely fell to the ground.
After so many years, this day is finally coming.
Looking back on the suffering she suffered in the past and the care she received in the Qin family, Jing Qianying, who had always been lonely and cold-hearted, could not help but feel tears in her eyes.
Seeing this situation, Qin Feng quickly held Jing Qianying in his arms and comforted her softly: "It's over, it's all over."
Seeing Jing Qianying nestled in Qin Feng's arms, Shen Qingci and Li Xiaolan also felt the same. The relationship between the family was so harmonious that the two girls couldn't help but smile happily.
Compared to Li Xiaolan and Jing Qianying, Shen Qingci had more things on his mind.
She knew that Qin Feng would be very busy next, so she took this opportunity and asked quickly: "Feng'er, Hongyan and Yun'er are still waiting for you in the capital, when should we go back?"
The implication of these words is actually a hint to Qin Feng not to waste too much time in Beidi.
Of course Qin Feng understood Shen Qingci's worries. Not only Shen Qingci, but also Li Xiaolan was worried about returning home, but he never mentioned it.
Qin Feng comforted Jing Qianying and explained softly: "Don't worry, we will be on our way home within a month."
After receiving Qin Feng's clean reply, Shen Qingci secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Xiaolan was confused for a while: "One month? Is it too hasty?"
"There are so many trivial matters due to the replacement of old and new ones. I'm afraid I can't finish them in less than half a year."
"Although everyone wants to return to Daliang as soon as possible, if things are done in a hurry and end at the end, won't we miss the overall situation?"
Qin Feng sighed in his heart, as expected of Li Xiaolan. Although he ranks third in the family, he is the biggest in this situation and knows that everything must be prioritized.
But Li Xiaolan's worries were completely unnecessary.
If we really want to deal with Beidi quickly, let alone half a year, even two or three years will not be able to handle it.
After all, this is an empire with a land area much larger than that of Daliang. The change of government, the appointment of officials at all levels, and the handling of people's livelihood and military matters must be a huge systematic innovation. This kind of thing is by no means a one-time event. What two people can do requires the efforts of the entire court system.
Therefore, what Qin Feng has to do is just to help Jing Qianying consolidate the imperial power. As for other things, just take his time.
"Xiaolan, we are destined to be outsiders. The internal affairs of Beidi must be completed by the people of Beidi themselves."
"As long as we help Qianying regain the throne, and defy all opinions, to secure a high position. Our mission will be completed."
"The simplest and most effective way now is military pressure."
"Changshui County and the Sangzhou army are the swords hanging over Beidi's head. Anyone who dares to resist Jing Qianying will be suppressed by thunder. Both kindness and power are equal, and this power is the first step."
