Chapter 468: Dressed as a Slandered General (4)
Others are more slick and well-informed. They know that the wind has changed now. Ning Ning was actually imprisoned before, but the emperor wanted to take him into the harem, so he did not announce it to the world and frame him. No, bah, bah, it was an imperial decree that accused him of various crimes.
Ning Ning would have been finished if she had encountered such a thing, but who would have thought that she could escape from the Heavenly Prison. I heard that she had kidnapped the emperor and injured her, so that even though the emperor has woken up now, he is still dizzy.
Once he is fully awake, he might send out troops to conquer them.
Ning Ning must have become alienated from the emperor, so who knows what he wants to do by sending someone here!
It’s better not to confront these soldiers head-on, try to speak softly.
"I know the difficulties of the generals, but I am powerless. You also know that every blade of grass and every tree in this imperial farm is the private property of His Majesty. If there is a decree from His Majesty, we will definitely give you the food without hesitation. But now there is no decree. If the court blames us, His Majesty may think that we are forming a clique for personal gain. So why don't you ask for an decree? As long as there is a word from His Majesty, we will immediately give you the food."
In fact, he had a plan in mind. First, he would trick these rough guys away, and then immediately write a letter to the capital, saying that Ning Ning had set his sights on the imperial farm, and requesting the capital to send troops to garrison the imperial farm. This way, he would not be responsible if the food was stolen again.
After being rejected, Meng Fan was not angry. He just knocked the eunuch in front of him down with a few moves and put a shiny steel knife to his neck, "You got one thing wrong. We are not here to discuss with you, but to inform you that the grain in the imperial farm has been confiscated by us."
"You, you are rebelling!"
"Hehe, you're right, we are going to rebel. We're still short of a few heads for sacrifice, how about you contribute one, eunuch?"
"Uh--"
The noise this person made was like a chicken with its neck pinched, and he fainted immediately.
The same conversation also took place in the other two imperial farms. The eunuchs who managed the farms were all panicked. If the soldiers became unreasonable, they would not be able to resist them.
Even the most arrogant eunuch cursed at them and told them to get out, saying that the imperial estate was a noble place and that they, as rough men, were not worthy of getting their feet stained with any mud there.
He kept looking at Zhao Li with his nose up to show his disdain, but Zhao Li didn't bother to pay attention to him. He just swung his sword and separated the head and body of the Lord of Qingcheng. The head rolled a long way and rolled all the way to the door.
It happened so quickly that before the guards of the imperial estate could react, the eunuch in charge had already been killed.
The border troops who came to collect grain were all in high spirits, with blood on their hands and a murderous aura. The guards of the imperial farm were no match for them. They were so frightened that they were silent and dared not make any move.
Forget it, the eunuch in charge is already dead, what’s the point of their resistance?
"You're telling me you're rebelling? You bastards are not worthy! When we're fighting, you all hide behind like cowards, but when it comes to talking nonsense, you talk more than anyone else. Since you can talk so much, go talk to the King of Hell and see if you can get your lives back."
The border troops had heard what the eunuch in charge said just now, and they were so angry that they kept cursing. They risked their lives every day, but the court withheld food from them, leaving them to fight against foreign enemies with empty stomachs. They just wanted to have enough food, but they were branded as rebels. Is this justice?
When the guards of the imperial farm heard this, they agreed. They had also heard of the reputation of the border troops under Ning Ning's command. They were a truly powerful army. If they hadn't been stationed there, the foreigners would have attacked long ago.
They were fighting with their heads on the line, but the court treated them like this. It was really wrong.
Thinking of this, they began to identify with the Border Army. Some even stripped off the guards' clothes and asked to go with the Border Army. "I can help you feed the horses and carry things, so I don't have to suffer here."
The eunuch in charge was not kind to them and tried to make trouble for them from time to time.
Besides, if the grain is not saved, the imperial court might issue an edict to blame them. It would be better for them to go with the border troops.
In this way, this trip not only brought back food, but also brought back a lot of reserve soldiers.
Ning Ning saw that the timing was perfect. They had no shortage of food and supplies, and the morale of the soldiers was high. The foreigners had just been repelled, so there was no need to worry about them attacking again in the short term.
So he simply organized his army and launched a counterattack against the capital.
At this time, Chu Liyue's mind was somewhat clear. When she fell off the carriage, her head was hit hard by Ning Ning. Although she did not die, she was in a coma for several days, and she was still dizzy after waking up.
Everyone knows that she is authoritarian and suspicious. If she doesn't give an order, how dare others overstep her authority!
When she was fully awake, Ning Ning also led her troops to attack.
Along the way, even Ning Ning did not expect it to be so smooth. There was not much resistance at all, and other generals had long been dissatisfied with her suspicion.
Chu Liyue hurriedly mobilized troops to assist the king, but no one responded. She could only rely on the high and deep gates of the capital city to put up a barely adequate resistance.
Chu Zhaoyan even found Ning Ning and said that he had several brothers who were guards at the city gate, and he had already agreed with them to secretly open the city gate to let them in.
Ning Ning listened and smiled thoughtfully, "Okay, you are thoughtful."
On the day of the attack on the imperial city, Chu Liyue changed her clothes and tried to escape, but she had no chance at all. She looked at Ning Ning who looked like she was crazy, "You still say that you are not influenced by foreign races. You just can't stand a woman as emperor, and you actually support the prince of the previous emperor. But his family background is too humble, even among the princes, he can't show off, so he hid at the border for many years. You don't know what he has done - ah!!!"
Chu Zhaoyan drew his sword and tried to stab her, but was stopped by Ning Ning. Chu Liyue then realized what was happening and cried out.
Chu Zhaoyan, "Ning Ning, don't listen to her nonsense. I am indeed a prince, and the world should be in the hands of men like us. How about you help me take the throne, and I will share the world with you?"
Ning Ning instinctively found it funny, "Who said that I started an uprising because I couldn't stand a woman being emperor? As long as she's a wise ruler, I don't care whether she's a man or a woman. I just can't stand Chu Liyue's perverse behavior. As for the good things you did, I knew about it a long time ago. You felt that you couldn't display your talents in the capital, so you told Chu Liyue that you were willing to go to the border to conceal your background and keep an eye on the border troops for her. It was you who suggested to Chu Liyue the idea of using food and fodder to transfer me back to the capital. Do you think I can still support you as emperor after I know all these things?"
"Ning Ning, you traitor!"
Finally knowing Ning Ning's true intention, Chu Zhaoyan started scolding her, but Ning Ning didn't care at all.
He waved his hand and ordered his men to take them away.
Since he has seized the throne, it is natural for him to sit on it. And in the future, the person sitting on the throne can be either a man or a woman, as long as he has talent and virtue.
