Qiuniang shook her head and looked outside the small courtyard, her brows knitted tightly together.
She didn't know whether her family's life would be better as Erlang said.
But now, the movement coming from outside the small courtyard made Qiuniang very clear.
Horrible things are happening outside.
Qiuniang suddenly grasped Zhu Yunwen's palm tightly with both hands, and said with nervous eyes: "There is killing outside, many people have died."
Zhu Yunwen took advantage of the situation and took Qiuniang into his arms, letting her lean on his shoulders, patting her back gently with the palm of her hand, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, nothing will happen to our family."
His mouth was so comforting, but his eyes looking outside the hospital gradually became cold and gloomy.
Those people outside should all be dead!
If those people are simply colluding with each other internally and externally, I will never take them seriously. After all, such things have nothing to do with me.
But those people outside should never use Qiuniang as a threat.
This is my last concern.
Those people still try to take it away.
A smile gradually appeared on Zhu Yunwen's face. Those people might not have thought that His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun of the Ming Dynasty would come to Zhongdu so quickly and come to see him without any warning.
They never thought that they would choose to let go.
Let go of the past and let go of yourself.
"Tomorrow, let's go to Haoshui outside the city to play."
Zhu Yunwen looked away from outside the hospital, looked down at Qiuniang who was holding him tightly in her arms, and gently passed his palms through her hair.
Qiuniang huddled in Zhu Yunwen's arms and nodded gently.
But not long after, Qiuniang suddenly raised her head, leaned back, stared at Zhu Yunwen unexpectedly, and blinked constantly.
Zhu Yunwen smiled softly: "What's wrong?"
"Erlang never leaves the city..." Qiuniang whispered, with a hint of worry in her eyes: "Erlang is going to leave the city now..."
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
Zhu Yunwen held Qiuniang's hands and patted the back of them gently.
His eyes were full of tenderness and pity: "I have worked hard for you in the past two years, but things are different now. Now that he is here and has made a decision, our family doesn't have to worry about anything in the future. I will accompany you tomorrow.
You, go for a walk outside the city."
Qiuniang wanted to say something else, but Zhu Yunwen stretched out his hand to cover her lips.
Zhu Yunwen smiled and said softly: "On weekdays, you always talk about outside the city. Although this season is not as good as spring, I still want to walk outside with you."
Qiuniang pursed her lips slightly, and her eyes turned a little red.
Zhu Yunwen immediately stretched out his hands with heartache, holding Qiuniang's cheek, with a smile on his face: "Fool, the world is so big in the future, and wherever you want to go, if I have the chance, I will always take you there."
"Um!"
Qiuniang nodded heavily, and just said yes, but her voice was already filled with tears, and she was on the verge of tears.
Zhu Yunwen felt pity in his heart. He just said this, and this silly woman wanted to cry.
He hugged Qiuniang into his arms again and just patted her back gently.
…
Bang bang.
Followed by two muffled sounds.
The two people, Feng Yunsong and Qiu Fengzhen, the governor of Fengyang Prefecture, felt numbness in their backs and their hearts were beating wildly.
On the ground in front of them, two beaten eunuchs from the Imperial City of Zhongdu were covered in blood and water, and their appearance was almost unrecognizable.
Blood was seeping out from the bodies of the two eunuchs.
What can be seen with the naked eye is that there is less air in and more air out.
Feng Yunsong and Qiu Fengzhen looked at each other, and then carefully raised their heads to look at Jinyiwei North Town Fu Si Zhenfu in front of them.
This is the head of Beizhen Fusi!
The Tiger Wolf who oversees the entire world and has the power to kill first and then report later!
Qiu Fengzhen's arm hidden in the loose sleeves of his robe lightly bumped against Feng Yunsong, attracting his attention and he immediately made a look.
You, Lao Feng, are the guardsmen of the Central Capital, and opposite you are the governor of Jinyiwei. They are both men of skill, so you can get along well with them.
Feng Yunsong was annoyed in his heart, but he had a smile on his face: "Sun Zhenfu, I wonder if these two people are..."
Sun Cheng said in a cold voice: "If you can't tell the difference between the left guard and the prefect, you can get closer and see clearly before talking."
Feng Yunsong was stunned and looked at Qiu Fengzhen.
The two of them crouched down a little timidly.
Feng Yunsong held the knife and carefully pushed away the messy hair from the faces of the two eunuchs on the ground.
"It's actually..."
Qiu Fengzhen's heart skipped a beat and she couldn't help but make a sound.
Feng Yunsong coughed lightly, retracted the knife, pulled Qiu Fengzhen to stand up, faced Sun Cheng, and said with a smile: "Back to Sun Zhenfu, it's Eunuch Zhang and Eunuch Wu from the Imperial City of Zhongdu."
These two people, whether Feng Yunsong or Qiu Fengzhen, are very familiar with each other.
Zhang and Wu, one is in charge of the palace affairs inside and outside the imperial city of Zhongdu, and the other is in charge of the affairs within the imperial city.
These two people can be regarded as one of the few most powerful people among the eunuchs and chamberlains who stayed behind in the Imperial City of Zhongdu.
It's just that these two people have become like this now.
Feng Yunsong and Qiu Fengzhen exchanged glances with waves of fear in their hearts.
Obviously, what happened to the first born in the imperial city was not a small matter.
And now, these two people are being thrown in front of themselves. I am afraid that this matter has something to do with outside the Zhongdu Imperial City.
Feng Yunsong had already thought of countless excuses and reasons in his mind to excuse himself.
right!
The Remaining Department is only responsible for the military and horse affairs of the Zhongdu Guard Station. It is Fengyang Mansion that is really in charge of Zhongdu!
In the blink of an eye, Feng Yunsong glanced at Qiu Fengzhen, the prefect of Fengyang, from the corner of his eye.
Qiu Fengzhen was also nervous at this time and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Sun Zhenfu, I wonder what happened to these two people... His Highness is in the imperial city at this time. I don't know if the imperial city is at this moment..."
Sun Cheng snorted and glanced coldly at Qiu Fengzhen and Feng Yunsong, who was thinking at the side: "Your Highness has something to ask you two."
It was His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun who spoke.
Feng Yunsong and Qiu Fengzhen cheered up, and immediately bowed and bowed their hands in greeting.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Please give me some advice."
Sun Cheng glanced at the members of the Huaiyou family who were blocked outside by the soldiers and horses of the left-behind commander.
He said coldly: "Your Highness said: No matter what, this is my family's ancestral home, right? Even if my family now lives in another place, the ancestral home cannot let dust fall, right?"
It's okay to let the ashes fall, but we can't let rats get in and cause trouble to the ancestral home. They left the Secretary and the prefect's Yamen to guard the ancestral home for my family.
There is a rat in the ancestral house, and it is burrowing in and out of the house. Do the left-behind department and the prefect's Yamen know about it?"
Feng Yunsong, the left-behind official, was an official of the second rank.
Qiu Fengzhen was appointed as the prefect of Fengyang, just like the prefect of Yingtian, and was naturally half a rank higher, so she was an official of the third rank.
Both of them are court officials wearing red robes.
However, at this moment, under Sun Cheng's message, everyone kneeled on the ground in full view.
"I am guilty."
"I have neglected my duty."
"Please punish me, Your Majesty the Grand Sun!"
Feng Yunsong and Qiu Fengzhen's backs were already covered in cold sweat.
Sun Cheng clapped his hands, and several Jin Yiwei officers and soldiers came over. Under the gazes of Feng and Qiu, they dragged Zhang and Wu from the ground like dead dogs and dragged them away towards the distance.
Two bright red blood stains, making a sizzling dragging sound, penetrated into Feng Yunsong and Qiu Fengzhen's ears and caught their eyes.
In the distance, in Fengyang City, all the members of the Huaiyou family who had survived to this day in the old days of the Six Dukes and Twenty-seven Marquises, had turned around and left one after another, returning to their respective places to report the news.
Sun Cheng tightened his cuffs, clasped his hands together and looked at the two people in front of him: "Let's seal the city. It's time to clear out all the rats in Fengyang City."
Qiu Fengzhen, the prefect of Fengyang, raised his head with surprise on his face, not expecting that things would suddenly develop to the point of blocking Zhongdu.
But Feng Yunsong, who was originally ready to excuse himself, immediately stood up with his fists clasped in his hands: "Wei Chen takes orders!"
At this moment, he completely forgot what he had previously thought. He was only in charge of the troops and horses of the Zhongdu Border Guard Station, and had no authority over whether the city could be sealed off.
Sun Cheng nodded.
Feng Yunsong immediately went outside to greet the officials and generals of the Left Behind Department.
And Sun Cheng did not hide it, and said: "Go and help Feng Liushou with a few people."
As he finished speaking, a team of Jinyi guards arrived at Feng Yunsong's side.
This is the meaning of surveillance, to guard against Feng Yunsong, the left-behind man in Zhongdu, who has dirty hands and feet. Even if it is found out that Feng Yunsong is the biggest rat in Zhongdu, these Jinyi guards may be the rat killers.
Feng Yunsong's whole body was tense, but he didn't dare to relax at all.
He just glanced at the Jin Yiwei beside him, gritted his teeth, and looked at the people who stayed behind at Si Yamen.
Feng Yunsong said in a deep voice: "We ordered the central guard to stay behind and the left guard to block the nine gates and eighteen water gates of Fengyang City. No one can enter or exit. If there is a collision, we will kill them without mercy!"
Order Fengyang Guard, right guard, and central guard to be stationed on the east, south, and west sides of the city. Changhuai Guard controls the Huaihe River, and Huaiyuan Guard controls Tushan to overlook the surrounding fields."
In just a few words, Feng Yunsong had already mobilized all the guards directly under the Central Capital Remaining Department.
Except for one imperial mausoleum guard and thousands of households in Hongtang who had not given orders, all seven guards inside and outside Fengyang City were mobilized.
Qiu Fengzhen, the prefect of Fengyang, only then reacted.
If Feng Yunsong wanted to blockade Fengyang City, he had to have his own magistrate's office to assist him, but now the other party actually took them all away.
Before Qiu Fengzhen could call Feng Yunsong to stop, she saw that the other party had already left with the Jinyi guards and those who stayed behind at the Si Yamen.
"Hey... Feng..."
Sun Cheng looked calmly at Qiu Fengzhen, who had just reacted, and said coldly: "Prefect Qiu, please follow me to see His Highness now."
"Meet Your Highness!"
Qiu Fengzhen couldn't help but tremble.
Originally, when he greeted him today, he really wanted to see more of His Highness the Grand Sun.
But now I don’t think about it at all.
Who knows if now that I have entered the palace to see His Highness the Emperor Taisun, I will end up like those two dead eunuchs Zhang and Wu.
Qiu Fengzhen showed hesitation.
"Um?"
Sun Cheng had already turned around at this time. Seeing that there was no movement behind him, he silently turned his head to look at the hesitant Qiu Fengzhen and gave a faint hum.
Qiu Fengzhen's shoulders trembled.
He immediately nodded and said: "Laosun Zhenfu will lead the way, and I will go to meet His Highness the Emperor Taisun."
"Um."
Sun Cheng still just hummed, but his tone and voice changed to a different mood.
Then, Sun Cheng led the way, while Qiu Fengzhen followed behind with her body bent and her head lowered.
The palace door on one side has already been opened.
Sun Cheng and Qiu Fengzhen went inside, but a famous Jin Yiwei walked out from the palace, each with murderous intent and a strong and pungent smell of blood.
Qiu Fengzhen worked hard to get closer to Sun Cheng, her hands hidden in her sleeves trembling constantly.
Entered the palace.
Zhongdu Imperial City and Yingtian Imperial City have a general layout.
On the side of Wuying Hall, Qiu Fengzhen finally saw His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun.
On the flat square in front of the palace, a large number of Jin Yiwei officers and soldiers and Yulinwei officers and soldiers of Shanzhi's personal army were escorting groups of imperial guards from Zhongdu.
Under the palace wall, there were corpses that had lost all movement, neatly placed, and the white cloth covering them was stained red by the blood that seeped out.
The huge palace grounds are filled with a different kind of blood and murderous intent.
Sun Cheng led Qiu Fengzhen to Zhu Yunxi's back: "Your Highness, Feng Liushou has led the Liushou Si Yamen to blockade the central capital. There are Shuoshu hiding in Dasuo City. Magistrate Qiu has accompanied me to the palace."
Bang.
Qiu Fengzhen's legs went weak and she knelt down.
"The offending minister, Qiu Fengzhen, was the magistrate of Fengyang at that time. He neglected his duties and allowed a traitor to hide in Zhongdu. This is the fault of the guilty minister. Please punish him severely, your highness."
Zhu Yunxi turned around and looked down at the prostrate Magistrate Fengyang in front of him.
He sighed in a low voice: "Every time something goes wrong in the country, you people always cry out that you should be punished severely and the court should punish you severely. But if you are really punished severely, you will have to say that the court is strict and cold-blooded."
Qiu Fengzhen was extremely frightened at this time. She didn't dare to raise her head and shook her head repeatedly: "The guilty minister doesn't dare."
"I don't dare, but it's not impossible." Zhu Yunxi said lightly, and did not give Qiu Fengzhen a chance to continue to explain, but said: "I asked Sun Cheng to bring you a message. I am the ancestor of the Zhu family in Zhongdu.
This place is my family’s ancestral home.
You are all officials in the Central Government, and you want to think more about safeguarding my family's ancestral heritage and taking good care of my fellow villagers. Rather than letting this place become a sieve for anyone to come in and out."
Zhu Yunxi's tone gradually became gloomy.
Qiu Fengzhen, who was kneeling on the ground, felt that those words were pressing on her, so much that she could hardly breathe.
Zhu Yunxi continued: "Yesterday a letter came in, today a person comes in. Tomorrow! Tomorrow, your Fengyang Mansion will still be able to watch the rebellious officials and traitors enter our Zhongdu Imperial City!"
Qiu Fengzhen made a clang and hit her forehead heavily on the ground.
"The guilty minister dare not, and the guilty minister will not give up even if he dies!"
…
The nine city gates and eighteen water gates in Fengyang, the central capital, were all closed in an instant.
The government did not give any reason or explanation.
A large number of left-behind officers and soldiers gathered in large numbers in the city.
The Jinyiwei officers and soldiers who had just entered the city took the evidence and information found from the Imperial City of the Central Capital and directed the soldiers and horses of the left-behind department to go everywhere.
Soon, the sound of fighting began to sound in Fengyang City.
A few strands of blood were thrown onto the remaining loads in the canal.
The blood-stained lotus remains are extremely red and sad.
