Chapter 127 Soldiers Approaching the City(1/2)
Chapter 127: The army is at the city
The remaining heat of the tiger lies in the dragon plate in early autumn and late summer.
Because of the war in the palace, there were not many ice cubes stored in the summer last winter, and now they are used completely.
The last piece of ice melted into the ice clerk of the imperial study room, and the pleasant and coolness in the palace was completely over.
The beads of sweat fell from Zhao Yin's forehead along with the new white silk he had added yesterday.
The last time there was no Ice Gun available, it was the year when the Queen died first.
At that time, her mother was just a low-ranking concubine in the palace. Originally, there was very little ice and charcoal every year, and she broke it into ten portions for use. But in the year when the Empress died, the Empress in the Palace transferred all the ice stored in the palace in order to keep the body of the Empress still by her side for a few more times.
There is only so much ice, and it is transferred to keep the body that is about to smell for a dead person, and the living person can only suffer in the hot summer.
Zhao Yin didn't know or wanted to know what kind of life the hard-working people outside lived in the hot summer, but he knew that that year, there was no ice in his palace with his biological mother, and he and his mother were both heated. Every day, except mung bean water, and they wanted to vomit when they drank it, and the mother, who had been sick for a month, could not bear it anymore.
The imperial doctor came and shook his head. A few days later, on a hot summer night, his biological mother left.
That night, he cried loudly, but did not see his father coming. The father only accompanied his dead queen next to the ice coffin. Instead, the prince Zhao Yan came. Zhao Yan also discovered that there was no ice in their palace, so he turned around and asked the palace servants. After hearing the whole story, he was stunned for a moment and called him.
"Don't cry, brother, please go to the East Palace and get ice for you?"
But after he said that, he said let it go and took his hand.
"You follow me back to the East Palace."
Zhao Yin didn't want to go, but the palace servants around him pushed him and whispered in his ear.
"Your Highness, you can go quickly, there are everything in the East Palace!"
He stepped into the East Palace for the first time.
When he saw the clean and spacious hall, the palace maids and eunuchs full of the courtyard, and felt the cool air scattered by the three ice specimens in the hall, he understood what the palace servants said to him before coming.
There is indeed everything in the Eastern Palace!
He stood in the middle of the hall in shock. Ji Yuan came at this time and raised his eyebrows when he saw him.
Ji Yuan bowed and asked the prince, who stepped forward and touched his head.
"The emperor's brother is young, and I can't bear to leave him alone in the harem and bring him to the East Palace. What do you think?"
Ji Yuan frowned.
"Your Highness has a kind heart of friendship, but there is no need to be like this."
Although he was young at that time, he could immediately hear what Ji Yuan wanted to drive him away.
But there are everything in the prince’s Eastern Palace!
Why should he leave?!
At this time, the prince asked him with a kind smile.
"What does the emperor want? Just say it to the same person."
At that time, Ji Yuan squinted his eyes and looked at him. He knew that he couldn't say the words he wanted to say the most.
He wanted to answer his prince's cousin.
What he wants is this Eastern Palace! It is the Eastern Palace that everything can have!
Can you please tell me about the eldest brother of the prince, are you willing to give it to him?
Since then, he often went to the East Palace. Whenever Ji Yuan saw him, he would frown impatiently, but his eldest prince and elder brother didn't care. Instead, he asked the palace servants to give him fruit and honey tea and often asked him.
"But tell me what you want."
But he never asked him whether he wanted his Eastern Palace or his position as the prince.
He thought that his kind and friendly brother would not want it because the so-called kindness and kindness were simply a false illusion!
However, this gave him an opportunity to take advantage of the situation and let the world fall into his hands several years later.
Zhao Yin recalled the past when he captured the capital and looked at the prince's death, and still felt his soul floating comfortably.
In the past ten years, when he was free in the palace, he often recalled that the feeling of comfort in his soul floating up had not diminished.
But today, his soul had just floated up comfortably, and a scream made him fall suddenly.
"Emperor! Suzheng Army is here!"
Zhao Yin Piaofei's mood suddenly fell to the ground.
At this moment, it was no longer the scene where he entered the capital more than ten years ago and forced the prince to die.
But the prince's son, who had been the last, led a army of tens of millions of troops to his city.
In the capital, people were in panic.
In a few days, most of the cities in Shuntian Prefecture were lost, and the Suzheng Army was reaching outside the capital with thunder.
The army following Zhao Yin guarded the city occupied the entire capital, but no matter how many troops and horses were, they could not resist the uproar of the Suzheng Army rushing over.
The crowded capital is restless in the lasting heat of summer.
"Lost, lost!"
People kept shouting this sentence, and finally at noon on that day, when the sun rose to its highest level, news came.
"The Suzheng Army has reached the outside of the capital!"
The people in the city closed their doors and doors, while the soldiers and generals in the city trembled with their hands and picked up swords, guns, shields, and arrows and rushed to the city tower.
However, hour after hour passed, the sun set westward and rose from the east, and the Suzheng Army surrounding the capital showed no sign of siege.
What does this mean?
Everyone in the city was confused, but no one knew what the Suzheng Army was going to do. Could it be that it was to accumulate strength, accumulate strength to rush hard, and break the city in an instant?
No one is unaware of the rush of the Suzheng Army, and some even think that it would be better if this is true, and it would be easier to die.
Most of them were not guarding the city because they were loyal to Emperor Zhao Yin, but they fell here in constant turmoil. But when they got on the same boat with the emperor, who dared to get off the boat halfway?! The world is already the world of the Supreme Army, and the emperor cannot live long. Those who guarded the city for the emperor had no way to survive.
The people in the city had different hearts, but they all knew that they could not resist the Suzheng Army.
The heat of summer has not dissipated, and the soldiers and generals gathered on the city walls held their breath and stared at the movements of the Suzheng Army under the sun.
But another day later, the Suzheng Army still had no intention of siegeing the city.
The soldiers in the scorching sun staggered.
"Why not have a chance to make a decision early? Anyway, I can't survive."
There was an honest young man who was still not used to the gun in his hand. He always felt unsatisfied after changing it in his hand. He simply stood the gun by the wall secretly.
"Brothers, do you think this battle will stop fighting? Suzhengjun will not attack us?"
When he said this, the few people were stunned for a moment, and then they smiled bitterly again.
"Can such a good thing happen? If the Suzheng Army does not capture the capital, how can their highness become His Majesty? Our Majesty will not obediently give up the throne to his nephew."
Earlier, if the soldiers and generals dared to discuss this in the imperial city, they would have wanted to behead themselves. But now, the people in the city are disintegrated, and it seems that everyone can talk about the emperor in the palace walls.
All the soldiers said it was impossible, and the honest young man still had hope.
"I think no one wants to fight this battle at all. The only thing he wants to fight is the emperor in the palace. It's better to open the city gate and let Suzheng Army come in and let him fight it himself."
It is no exaggeration to have been beheaded thousands of times before this statement was put.
But when the young man said this, everyone looked at him in surprise.
An older man patted him on the shoulder.
"I know that your farmers don't want to fight, but you're really lucky. The real Yanzhou people, when the floods were caused, did not follow the Suzheng Army to raise an uprising, but instead fell into the capital? If you follow the Suzheng Army, even if you don't get a single official position, you don't have to wait for death here."
The young man also knew that he was really unlucky and couldn't help but feel bitter, and the older man patted him on the shoulder again.
"This capital city will change its ownership. It is impossible for us to avoid the battle with the Suzheng Army. Don't think about it. We all have to die. It's a pity that you and your little wife will be hard to see."
This was so helpless and sad that I didn't want to finish my words, and someone around me suddenly fell down.
"I'm so hot again! God won't let you live!"
Everyone carried the man into the cold shade and fanned him for water.
Even if you know that you will inevitably die on the battlefield next, no one doesn't want to continue living before the war begins.
The young man kept fanning the man until the man woke up, and he stood up and drank a sip of water.
The clothes were poured through sweat. He raised his head and poured out all the remaining water in the water bag, licked his dry lips, and looked at the place where the Suzheng Army was stationed outside the city.
It would be great if this battle could not be fought. They didn’t have to die. He could still be reunited with Juanzi!

Outside the city, the Suzheng Army camp.
Between the same world, people in the city kept falling down due to the scorching heat. In the suburbs, everyone was still in good spirits and were queuing up to receive today's cooling soup.
Since the beginning of summer, Suzheng Army has been promoting a cooling-relieving diet. At first, the soldiers were full of medicine and were a little difficult to swallow. However, this cooling-relieving diet was adjusted according to the soldiers' wishes, making it more delicious and the cooling-relieving effect.
Everyone knows where this dietary prescription comes from. This is the medicinal meal that the "princess" personally drafted when he was still in power.
