Happy holidays to everyone!!!

Early the next morning, before Zongze could go to the posthouse to welcome the prince out of the city to offer incense, Nie Shan came to the door and said that the volunteers who had followed them north were clamoring for continued march north to fight against the Jin. They approached the prince and asked for the transfer of weapons.

Crossbows and arrows. The prince had no choice but to ask Wang Yun to go outside the city to appease him, and at the same time asked him to ask for support for some weapons to stabilize the morale of the army. Of course, he would pay them back.

Before Zongze could reply, he received a report from the gatekeepers. The volunteers who had just opened the city gate in the morning and were stationed outside swarmed into the city, claiming that they wanted to collect weapons and go to the Daiming to fight against the Jin army. They were few in number and could not stop them. Thousands of people had already poured in.

Entering the city, I was heading towards the post house. I said I wanted to ask the prince for an explanation. Why did I stop at Cizhou and refuse to move on?br />

"The volunteers outside the city were not recruited by Zhang Yushi?" Zongze was surprised and asked hurriedly.

"Well, it's a long story. When the mission left Beijing, there was a rumor in the capital that the prince's peace talks were fake and that he actually wanted to lead troops to rescue Zhending. So many volunteers followed our mission northward. At first, there were only a few thousand people, but after more than a thousand people

The number of people increased as they went north, numbering in the tens of thousands. In Cizhou, they heard that Zhending had been lost and the Jin army was approaching Daming Mansion, so they clamored for the prince to hurry up and save Daming!" Nie Shan sighed and said.

"You are going to peace talks, with so many volunteers behind you. Aren't you afraid that the court officials will impeach and the Jin army will become suspicious?" Zongze was puzzled. How could a peace negotiation delegation go to cede land to beg for peace and recruit volunteers at the same time? He said angrily

said.

"When I left the capital to say goodbye, the Holy Spirit saw it in person and sent people to inquire, but there was no follow-up. I think he gave it acquiescence. When I crossed the Yellow River and arrived in Hebei, I happened to meet Zhang Suo who was recruiting troops under the order. In order to avoid causing the Jurchens' anger,

Misunderstanding. He pretended to be the volunteers he had recruited and was preparing to return to the capital to aid the capital. Who would have thought that this kind of dispute would arise now!" Nie Shan said with a helpless look on his face.

"What should we do? They follow them all the way, and the prince doesn't stop them?" Zongze asked.

"You still don't know that the prince is used to leading troops, and he always takes the lead in battles in the capital. He defeated the young prime minister Tang Ke, Zhongshu's subordinate Geng Nanzhong, and the Jin envoy Wang Rui. But the Jin people must use the prince as a hostage. He

How could he be convinced and finally roped in Geng Nanzhong’s son?

Follower. He often says that to take the initiative when negotiating with others, you must have troops to back up the formation, and it is also good to have a strong momentum, so it is good if he does not instigate. And the Holy Spirit does not care about this matter, so why should we talk too much, or else

..." Nie Shan whispered.

"Is there any other inside story?" The more vague Nie Shan became, the more nervous Zongze became, and he asked hurriedly.

"Perhaps the prince has obeyed the Holy Emperor's secret decree, otherwise would he be so indulgent?" Nie Shan said into Zongze's ear.

"Sir, the prince has sent someone to ask when will he leave the city to offer incense?" At this time, someone came in and reported to Zongze.

"You report back to the prince immediately, and I will go over after a while!" Zong Han replied with a frown.

"Sir, there has been a conflict between the common people and the volunteers who entered the city, and the two sides are about to fight!" Before the first man could go out, someone else came in to report.

"Why did the conflict arise? Was it a act of righteousness to rob the people?" Zongze said with a serious face.

"Report to your lord. It's not because of this, but because the people of this mansion saw the prince driving his car out of the city, so they went to block it. When they happened to see Mr. Wang Yun, they scolded him for being a spy. This caused dissatisfaction among the volunteers, and both parties started to fight.

There was a conflict. We were insulting each other. Please tell me how to deal with it!"

"Did Mr. Wang instigate the conflict between the volunteers and the people?" Zongze asked anxiously.

"Your Excellency, according to what I know, Mr. Wang was scolded by the people and did not argue with them, but just retreated. Now the situation is urgent, please make a decision as soon as possible!" the Yamen officer replied...

Nie Shan looked at Zongze coldly and listened to his questions. He couldn't help but secretly sigh that the prince had foresight. As expected, when the prince moved, people came to block him and asked him not to go north. And listening to Zongze's words, he couldn't leave Wang Yun in every word. It was obvious that

It was to cause trouble for him. Fortunately, the prince repeatedly told him not to argue with the people in twists and turns. Otherwise, not only would the truth be unclear, but it might also intensify the situation and cause even greater trouble!

"Master Zong, the prince and his party are surrounded by the people at the city gate. If anything goes wrong, can you bear the punishment?" Just when Zongze was overwhelmed by what happened one after another, Geng Yanxi rushed in and pointed at Zongze in anger.

shouted.

"Master Geng, what's going on?" Nie Shan hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed him and asked.

"This old man said that he was inviting the prince to offer incense, but the prince had been waiting for a long time. When he arrived at the north gate, a group of ordinary people rushed out of nowhere and stopped the prince's car. It must be that the prince was going to Jinying for peace talks and refused to let him go.

He cursed us and wanted to send the prince into the tiger's mouth. Now tens of thousands of people have gathered inside and outside the city. The prince can only retreat to the city wall and order you to hurry up.

I went to rescue the siege, but I finally managed to rush out. Mr. Zong, you have to send troops to suppress it quickly, otherwise something happens to the prince, I guarantee you will be killed!" Geng Yanxi's body was covered with stains, and his clothes were torn in many places, which shows that what he said is not true.

Fake, and relying on his father's power, he ignored all the officials and yelled at Zongze without any politeness.

"What...what should I do?" In the blink of an eye, things happened everywhere. Zongze's deployment was completely disrupted by Yiyong's entry into the city. Zongze was temporarily confused. He looked at Nie Shan and asked.

"Master Zong, the most important thing right now is to ensure the safety of the prince. We are divided into two groups. You lead people to the north gate to explain to the people the reason for leaving the city. In addition, you send someone to give Master Wang Yun a warrant to open the military warehouse.

Let the volunteers receive the weapons, and the two parties will naturally understand that Mr. Wang

If you are not a spy, you will disperse naturally. I will go to the south gate to stop the volunteers from pouring into the city, so as to avoid a mutiny and endanger the people in the city! Then you and the prince go to offer incense, and we will lead the volunteers out of the city first. What do you think?" Nie Shan was confident.

, he pondered for a moment and then put forward his own suggestions.

"Okay, thank you!" Zongze thought and could only do this. At least, the prince is still in Cizhou, so things will turn around.

Zongze acted according to the plan and ordered his people to open the Armor War Storehouse and distribute weapons to the volunteers. At the same time, he made announcements to appease the people and ordered the people to disperse. He rushed to the north gate and ordered the people to disperse. He took the prince to the top of the city and then accompanied the prince there in person.

They burned incense at the Jiaying Shrine and prayed for the country. When Nie Shan arrived at the south gate, he immediately explained the situation and ordered them to leave the city and rush to the north of the city to collect weapons, so they could set off with the mission to Daming Mansion!

Seeing is believing. When the people of Cizhou saw that tens of thousands of volunteer soldiers had gathered and followed the mission eastward to Damingfu, they believed that the prince was indeed here to fight the Jin army, not to negotiate peace, and gradually dispersed. But Zongze
Chapter completed!
