It happened to fall in front of the emperor.
The emperor was taken aback. Fortunately, he responded quickly, and covered
Liu Guifei's mouth, and covered her scream.
"Father, my son is too late for help." Zhao Yuanjing kneeled and saluted.
The emperor kept covering Liu Guifei's mouth, staring at him blankly.
Concubine Liu Guiyuan opened her eyes and stared at him.
"The emperor, the emperor..." she said vaguely.
The emperor hurriedly released her, took a step forward, fixed his eyes on
Zhao Yuanjing, and asked with a trembling, "You, are you a human or a ghost?"
Zhao Yuanjing smiled: "Look, my father, there is a shadow of my son."
The emperor lowered his head subconsciously to step towards him, and the
shadow printed by the candlelight was obviously incomparable.
His eye sockets suddenly became hot.
He held his son's arm tightly, almost crying: "Yuan Jing, are you really
alive?"
"The son is still alive."
"What the ** is going on?" Liu Guifei didn't understand.
The emperor said, "Don't you understand? The two rebels, King Cheng and King
Lu, lied to me! They lied to me and said that Yuan Jing was gone. It was
really hateful to think that I would hand over the jade seal!"
Concubine Liu Gui said: "Has the prince always been outside?"
"That's right." Zhao Yuanjing said, "I went out to investigate the case on my
father's order. I didn't know that something happened in the palace until the
morning. Then I hurried back. Who knows that the King's people have already
occupied the palace."
The emperor looked resentful.
Zhao Yuanjing said: "Now it seems that King Cheng has planned for many years
before he has such a thunderous momentum, so that his father is unprepared and
succeeded by him."
"This wolfish ambition thing, I knew I should have abandoned him!" the emperor
scolded bitterly.
Concubine Liu Gui said: "Prince, do you have a way to save us out?"
Zhao Yuanjing shook his head: "All the people outside are from King Cheng.
There are more than 20,000 soldiers and more than 10,000 guards in the palace.
There are seventy or eighty thousand soldiers and horses outside the city.
There are only twenty to thirty thousand people under my hand, and there are
still such people in the palace. There are many hostages, so you can't force
it."
"What are your plans?" the emperor asked.
Now, the only person he can rely on is this son.
Zhao Yuanjing said: "Before I entered the palace, I had ordered people to
chase after the little emperor. Luyang, three hundred miles away from the
capital, has 80,000 troops stationed. As long as the little emperor brings the
soldiers back, I and the little emperor should meet outside. Naturally, the
siege of the capital can be solved."
When the emperor heard this, his brows were still frowned: "Luyang is really
far from the capital. I don't know when King Qin will arrive."
Zhao Yuanjing said: "My son has also thought about it. Wujin, which is closer,
has 50,000 troops, but the vassal king there... has also returned to King
Cheng."
"This bastard!" The emperor shook his hand, raised his hand to pick up the tea
cup by the table, and fell to the ground severely.
"The emperor calms down his anger and must not let people outside know that
the prince is here." Liu Guifei hurriedly comforted him.
The emperor's eyes were blood red.
In the final analysis, it is not that he is too arrogant, thinking that the
princes and courtiers are all surrendering to him, but he doesn't know how
they colluded in private.
Zhao Yuanjing glanced at the broken teacup and said calmly: "Father, Luyang's
80,000 troops is our last hope. Now we can only pin our hope on this."
"What if King Qin can't bring 80,000 troops?"
"Then, Erchen can only receive 20,000 troops and fight with Cheng Wang's
100,000 army." Zhao Yuanjing said word by word, "Even if there is only the
last soldier left, Erchen will never give in."
