In the early morning, heavy snow fell again. On the roof of the towering palace in Linhuang Mansion, glazed tiles were covered with snow. No one fell asleep in the entire palace last night. In the early morning, many Jurchen nobles entered the palace. These nobles were all ashamed, wearing various furs and melon-skin hats with golden pheasants in them. They first waited in Tai'an Palace for a while.

The atmosphere in Tai'an Palace was very tense, and almost everyone had a tense face. One hundred thousand Song and Xia coalition troops were at the city, and the Jin army in Linhuang Mansion had been wiped out, and the entire Linhuang Mansion was almost out of defense. Although the Song and Xia coalition did not attack the city, everyone knew that it would be a matter of time before the breaking of the city was just a matter of time.

There are more than 20,000 troops in the city, all of which are included Han and Khitans. Of course, these people cannot be trusted. Do they rely on them to defend the city? As for the imperial guards, there are only five thousand people. The Song and Xia coalition forces can defeat 60,000 Jurchen cavalry and 5,000 imperial guards, how can they be their opponent?

What's even more fatal is that the Jurchens are good at attacking but not defending, while the Songs and Xias have rich experience in siegeing cities. Once the city is broken, it will be the heaviest blow to the Jurchen relatives in the city.

Wanyan Zongjun did not come back alive. It is said that Wushu was also beheaded by the Song people. The heads of the two princes were hung at the gate of the Song army. The Song cavalry carried their helmets and galloped under the city, cheering loudly, clearly showing off their might.

When things come to this point, Linhuang Mansion will definitely not be able to save it, but it is impossible to escape, and breaking through is a fantasy. No wonder they are so nervous. They finally started a storm and sang triumphantly all the way. They thought they could finally live a good life and rest assured. Then, they would completely swallow the Khitan and continue to advance to the colorful world of the Song Dynasty. The wealth is within reach, and the spoils are enough to make them arrogant, but they just got a mistake. In fact, it is not just a mistake, it is more appropriate to say that it is a hornet's nest.

Last night, the Empress Dowager summoned several princes, but most of these princes were fools in the tribe, otherwise Aguda would not have kept them in Linhuang Mansion. The final result was that everyone sat blankly without saying a word. The Empress Dowager had no choice but to let them leave the palace.

In the early morning, the imperial edict came out again, and the ministers and nobles entered the palace. Now the eldest son is gone, and Linhuang Mansion has no master, and only the empress dowager can suppress the scene. But after waiting for so long, the empress dowager has not come out. Everyone was anxious, confused and full of discussion.

"I heard that the Etu team was also robbed by these robbers. The tribe had killed more than 1,900 people, and they didn't even let go of half-old children. These damn horse thieves, Han dogs!"

Those who said this seemed to have long forgotten the Jurchens' massacres of the city, as if only their hands were stained with blood. Now, it has become unforgivable for others to pick up a knife and put it on their necks.

"From their appearance, if they attack the city, they will be killed. No one of our 100,000 tribesmen can save it. Now the king is leading the army again, so it is too late to save it."

At this moment, an eunuch finally stood up and said, "It's too late."

Everyone knelt down on one knee, beat a thousand times, and said together, "Welcome to the Queen Mother."

The Jurchen Empress Dowager was called the Mahman. At this time, she was dressed up, wearing a bright red warm hat on her head, an ornament inlaid on her hat, and a warm skirt with gold and silver jewelry on it. Every step she took, the collision of gold and silver made a slight tinging sound. In fact, Mahman did not come late on purpose, and she tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep. At dawn, she could not bear it. She closed it for a while and got up worriedly. Seeing that her eyes were red and swollen, her eyes were pitch black, and she added countless white hair, so she asked someone to comb her hair, and then she applied fragrant powder to cover it before she was willing to show her.

Although this is superficial skill, the Mahman family dare not be negligent. It should be noted that people are in panic now. Although he is a woman, he is already the master of the entire Linhuang Mansion. If people see him in a down-and-out manner, they will inevitably become more silly. Only by feeling down-to-earth in the empress dowager can people stabilize their hearts. Therefore, this superficial skill must not only be done, but also well.

So when the empress dowager entered the palace calmly, her eyes looked calm and she seemed to be slow. When she met a few familiar nobles, she smiled and greeted her. After walking a few steps, she asked, "Is the Pusan ​​family still okay now? I haven't seen her come to the palace to greet her for many days, but I'm wondering about her."

"When she went back to the Queen Mother, she has been learning to read Buddhist scriptures these days, and she will be sure to come in to greet her in a few days."

"That's good." The Man family smiled with satisfaction, took two more steps, and asked a nobleman: "I heard that your youngest son also went to war with the prince and has not come back yet, so you don't have to worry. Our young men always have shamans. Last night, the Ai family called the shaman in to make a fortune. The fortune teller was very auspicious, and auspicious people would have their own heavenly appearance."

"What the Queen Mother said."

Mrs. Wu was so calm that she gave everyone a reassurance and finally suppressed the anxiety in her heart for a while.

Mr. Man moved to the golden chair. This was originally a chair where Wanyan Agu meditated, with Hai Dongqing and the tiger carved on it. However, the Jurchens had just been enlightened and there were no such rules. Besides, women have a high status in the tribe, so there is no need to be aware of anything. Mr. Man took a breath. Although she was in a state of turmoil, she was also afraid and would never want to see that terrible man again in her life. Her empress dowager had been captured by the Song people once, and she was unwilling to have a second time. The first time someone redeemed her; but the second time, Mr. Man was unable to save her.

In the current situation, Ma Man knew in his heart that the Song and Xia coalition would never be soft-hearted. The resentment between the two sides was too deep. Even if they beg for mercy, they would not be able to let the other party go out.

Since that's the case, the only choice is to persevere until his heroic son comes back with the warriors of the clan. Only in this way can the Jin Kingdom still have hope.

Her eyes were a little turbid. I don’t know if it was because of her age or worry. These eyes swept across everyone’s faces and finally said, “Today, the Ai family is sitting here to tell you that wherever the Song and Xia coalition forces passed, we were killed by our tribesmen everywhere. Our hands were already stained with our blood. Now, they are now outside Linhuang Mansion. What do they want to do? If the Ai family doesn’t say it, I believe you know it.” Although the Mahman clan said not to say it, he still couldn’t help but say, “If they break the city, they will let all our heads fall to the ground, destroy our sects and rob our wealth just like they deal with the tribes outside the city. Are you willing to do this?”

Although the Man's tone was plain, every word was like a stitch on these nobles, killing, destroying, and robbing. These were originally done by the Jurchens, but now, someone used the same method to deal with them, and they felt scared. They realized that they were so weak, afraid of death, and afraid of losing everything they are now.

Everyone said with a bang: "I'm not willing."

This is their truth, and there is no falsehood. They want to live, continue to enslave others, and want to enjoy wealth.

The Man family smiled coldly and said, "But you are unwilling to accept it. There are more than 100,000 Song and Xia coalition outside the city, covering the clouds and the sun. Their barracks have been continuous for more than ten miles. These hungry wolves who rushed into the grassland will never give up Linhuang Mansion and will never forgive us easily. What's more, there is another Chen Ao, who was once with him. " The Man family said frankly, without feeling ashamed. She said coldly: "This man has a wolf ambition and has a Jurchen." There is an irreconcilable hatred. When Aguda wanted to join the Song Dynasty, he was in the middle to destroy it. Aguda wanted to marry Xixia. He also killed our royal family and forced the princess of Xixia. After that, he supervised the country Xixia and destroyed our 30,000 cavalry of the Great Jin Dynasty. Aguda attacked the Khitan. He led his troops to capture the Dading Mansion and killed me 50,000 warriors. Now, he led his troops out of the pass, burned, killed and robbed everywhere, and his hands were soaked in the blood of our tribe. This devil, as long as he was in one day, the Great Jin Dynasty would never be peaceful!"

Every word from the Man family revealed a meaning: No one should have illusions and do not think that giving up resistance can bring mercy. The Jin Kingdom is an irreconcilable enemy with them. Except for resisting stubbornly, the rest of the way is a dead end.

The nobles in the hall heard their hair standing up and they were submissive.

Ma Man smiled coldly again and continued, "Since the devil must die, then we will live for him to see. If he wants to destroy our Jurchens, it depends on whether he has the ability. Now he is in the city of Linhuang Mansion. How can I, the Jurchens, show weakness? If you don't resist firmly, all the tribesmen in this city will die!"

"To the end, as long as we Jurchens have a breath, we will never let them enter the city." Someone finally regained his courage. The Empress Dowager had analyzed the matter. Since surrendering was death, he would simply burn him to death.

The hall immediately started to clamor. After all, these people were still a bit bloody. After suppressing their fear, they shouted and killed them one after another.

The Man family said in a stern manner: "Okay, it's very good, but to resist, we must set rules. If the guards are not alone, the troops are not enough. To defend Linhuang Mansion, we must rely on the power of our Manchus. All the mansions have family slaves. From now on, each mansion will have a centurion, with the head of the family serving as the centurion. The other family slaves are all incorporated into the army and distributed weapons. Men must fight, and women cannot be idle. Those who can take swords and swords will all go to the city wall." The Man family paused and continued: "The Ai family will be the commander of ten thousand men, and personally climbed the city to defend the city with everyone."

The actions of the Mahman family inspired all the people, and even the Queen Mother was not afraid. What else could they be afraid of? They all started to clamor: "Stay Linhuang to the death!"
