Qi Yuan was ready as soon as dawn broke.
"General Liang, your opportunity has come."
"Set off!"
Qi Yuan rode towards the capital without hesitation. Liang Jing felt like he was being seen through when he saw Qi Yuan's smile.
The garrison in Changzhou was only 10,000, but the imperial army in the capital had a full 30,000. They did not have an advantage in terms of strength, and the chance of winning in a battle and siege was slim.
Liang Jing said that 30% is an exaggeration. Kyoto is not another place. If there are not enough troops to break through the city and enter the capital, it is not enough to just talk about it.
When the troops arrived at the city, Ye Wusheng stood on the city wall wearing the prince's uniform and looked at Qi Yuan below the city, but became excited.
Ever since Ye Wusheng became the prince, he has been busy fighting for the throne, and it is difficult to even see him.
Lin Wei stood in front of the window and looked in the direction of the city gate, lost in thought. In the past, everyone in the Lin Mansion pampered her, but since she faked her death and became Lin Wei, even her mother has avoided her.
Once there is a gap in our hearts, we can never go back to the past.
She was the one who insisted on marrying Ye Wenxi out of anger. Even though she had done so much in the past three years, in Lin Xiang's view, her only value now was Wu Sheng's feelings for her.
The courtyard is quiet and elegant, but she doesn't like this kind of silence the most.
Lin Wei couldn't help but think of her days in the East Palace, and now she thought that Ye Wenxi had already done everything down to the smallest detail before she knew it.
Ye Wenxi contradicted Empress Chi for her sake and disobeyed Emperor Xuan's orders again and again.
Such silence made Lin Wei couldn't help but compare Ye Wenxi and Ye Wusheng.
For the sake of power, Ye Wusheng could remain calm when he learned of her death. However, Ye Wusheng, who had now become the prince and was about to achieve his wish, made her feel alienated.
No matter how busy she was in the East Palace, Ye Wenxi would always accompany her. It was rare for her to be quiet like this.
If Wu Sheng really takes the throne, will she really be happy? Does the position of queen mean glory and wealth, or does it mean waiting in the harem with a group of people?
Will it be the same then? She can only count on Wu Sheng's emotional support.
Lin Wei was startled by this thought. She patted her face and walked towards the garden to dispel such thoughts.
"Do you think His Highness the Crown Prince will really marry the Third Lady as the Crown Princess in the future?"
"How can one be so lucky to be a princess twice?"
"Can you find anyone in the entire capital who is more suitable than the eldest lady?"
"Then the third lady will stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
"Maybe be a concubine."
The sound of the maid's discussion gradually faded away, and Lin Wei subconsciously stood behind the rockery after hearing the sound. She didn't come back to her senses until the surroundings became quiet again for a long time.
Only then did Lin Wei realize that her hands were cold.
It's not that she doesn't understand anything, even though everyone knows she is Lin Yue, but now she is just the third lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, a concubine.
If Wu Sheng really becomes an emperor, can she really accept someone else to marry him if she has no power and no status?
Lin Wei stood for a long time before regaining her strength and walked towards the yard.
What if Wu Sheng doesn't become emperor? Then does she not have to worry about her status?
Lin Wei tried to stop herself from thinking about it, but she couldn't help but feel her heart getting hotter and hotter.
The war is imminent. If Wu Sheng wins, he can successfully succeed to the throne. If he loses...
Lin Wei's footsteps paused. Wenxi loved her so much, he would definitely let Wu Sheng go.
Lin Wei is just an ordinary person. The only difference is that she came to this era by chance, but essentially she has not become outstanding and dazzling.
Lin Wei clenched her hand, her heart skipped a beat, and left the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Prime Minister Lin and hundreds of officials were waiting in the main hall, and soon the result of this game would be presented to them.
"You are rebelling!"
Lin Xiang raised his eyes and looked at the group of extremely pedantic veterans. The fact that Emperor Xuan was able to establish a layout in the south proved that there were many people following him.
There are people who dislike Prime Minister Lin. At least there are still many civil and military officials in the court who are partial to the second prince Ye Wenxi.
"Master Fu, are you dreaming? You have all seen the imperial decree. The rebels are the rebels outside who are heading north."
"Liu Guangliang, you fart!"
Wang Qiang pointed at Liu Shangshu's nose and cursed.
At this time, these pedantic civil servants actually felt that the vulgar words in the past now sounded extremely pleasant to their ears.
As soon as Wang Qiang started, the generals began to scold each other, making the group of people blush.
A sound of broken jade was heard in the quarrel, and Wang Qiang's eyes turned red when he looked at the broken jade pendant.
The appearance of Ying Yi restored calm in the hall once again.
Wang Qiang is not afraid of anything, not afraid of death. His only weakness is his mother.
That jade pendant was his mother's personal jade pendant. He still remembered how she cried when she got the jade pendant for the first time.
He grabbed his hand and said that he was successful and his ancestors were honored.
Wang Qiang's teeth were itching with hatred but he didn't dare to say anything anymore.
On one side is the rebellion that is knowingly confusing right and wrong, and on the other side is the life of the family.
Faced with a dilemma, even if they, the generals, tried their best, how could they mobilize their troops?
If they weren't still concerned about their prestige in the military, they would probably be corpses lying outside.
There was deathly silence in the hall.
"Your Highness, the Imperial Army has been completely controlled by the Third Prince."
How about we wait.
"Siege the city!"
Qi Yuan drew his sword and glanced at Ye Wusheng on the city wall.
The poor man didn't even know that his death day had come.
"kill!"
Liang Jing looked at the archers on the city wall and raised his eyebrows.
Then he commanded the army to attack the city, Qi Yuan took the lead, and An Yi was mixed in to protect Qi Yuan.
Liang Jing's heart ached when he saw Qi Yuan rushing forward.
"You guys protect His Highness and don't stand in front of me!"
Liang Jing roared, and there were more people around Qi Yuan.
Ye Wusheng on the city wall looked at the approaching army with an expressionless face and cold eyes.
"Lu Yi."
Ye Wusheng's cold voice sounded, and he stretched out his hand to take the bow and arrow.
Lu Yi held his sword and looked at the archers who tightened their bows, feeling a little uneasy.
Because of a drought, what he once dreamed of is now in front of him. It took all the secret moves to control the capital to this point.
But Lu Yi always felt like a storm was coming.
Ye Wusheng didn't know it, but the opportunity was in front of him, and such temptation made him willing to take the risk.
Draw the bow, mount the arrow, look at the approaching army, and aim at Qiyuan.
"Fire the arrow!"
The people on the city wall were all Ye Wusheng's own people, and he was on guard against Emperor Xuan even if it was the Forbidden Army.
No matter what Emperor Xuan had in mind or what plan he had.
As long as Ye Wenxi dies, Emperor Xuan will have to admit it.
With the command, thousands of arrows were fired.
Ye Wusheng let go, the arrows flew towards Qi Yuan, and a dense rain of arrows fell.
No matter what, Ye Wenxi will die.
The arrows hit the soldiers attacking the city, and each living person fell in front of Qi Yuan.
But Qi Yuan's eyes were a little too calm.
"The arrows are poisonous."
An Yi rode close to Qi Yuan and shot down arrows continuously.
"mean!"
Liang Jing obviously noticed this and cursed.
"On the shield, move back!"
