In late autumn, the rain is continuous, sometimes heavy, sometimes dense. In this cold autumn, a heart-stopping news quietly spreads: "There is an eclipse of the moon and the sun, and the sky has changed."
Although the officials and the people were at odds with each other, the news made everyone panic and panic all day long. People flocked to the temple to burn incense and pray, and several large temples were filled with pilgrims who paid homage.
Even the small temple, which usually receives little attention, has become more popular.
As for the officials, they even braved the rain to pay homage to the superiors and went into the ministries and cabinets to get information. But the imperial court was like this, and it was inevitable in the local area.
Ban'an County County Magistrate's Office
The county magistrate is the assistant official of the county magistrate, with the eighth rank. There is one person in each county. Although there have been changes in the past dynasties, they are generally in charge of one aspect of the county and have independent yamen.
The main building of the county magistrate's office has a lobby, a second hall, a kitchen, a residence, a garden, and about thirty wing rooms. For most county magistrates, this is enough.
In the evening, Yu Fan came back from the county magistrate's office. He had a brief banquet and had not finished a cup of tea. He saw a soldier coming in and announcing: "My lord, Mr. Kou is back."
Yu Fan suddenly stood up, his voice trembling a little: "Quick...please please"
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately realized his urgency, calmed himself down, and said, "Mr. Kou, please come to the side hall for a meeting. I'll be here right away."
After a while, he entered the side hall and saw that Mr. Kou's face was pale and without any blood. He was immediately shocked, but he ignored it for a while and looked at the small clock hanging in the side hall.
Mr. Kou remained silent, sipping tea, and focused his eyes on the small bell, which is known as the "treasure of the government office" of the county government. This clock is made of bronze, has words on it, and is filled with red air.
"How is the situation?" Yu Fan asked after a long time.
Mr. Kou was calmed down at this time. Hearing these words, he stood still and said: "The situation is very bad. There are eclipses of the sun and moon in succession. Not to mention local rumors, there are even rumors in the imperial capital. Some people say that the Holy Spirit
Not safe, in danger
"The prefect inspected the patrol in the rain this morning and went to the Guozhong Temple to offer incense. Judging from this situation, I'm afraid it may not be groundless."
Say it without saying a word.
Yu Fan opened his mouth slightly and was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses and asked, "What else have you heard?"
Mr. Kou looked around and lowered his voice and said: "You know, solar and moon eclipses have omens. Now I don't know what the omens are."
"The Holy Emperor is in danger and is in imminent danger," one said. Another said, "The prince has lost his virtue and the emperor will be deposed."
"It is also said that this is a sign that the Northern Wei Dynasty will take over the Central Plains."
"Finally, some people said that this was a sign of a change of dynasty. Of course, such people were dealt with quickly."
Yu Fan listened and just nodded. At this moment, the rain was falling even harder. Looking outside, he saw a dark darkness, beating on the bamboo forest in the garden, making a loud sound. From time to time, the wind came over, which was so cold.
Feeling cold all over the body.
I don't know why, Yu Fan suddenly felt a little sad, his nose felt sore, he almost shed tears, and he forced a smile: "There won't be more, right?"
Mr. Kou stared at his lord for a long time before nodding and said: "What you said is true. On October 2nd, there were some strange things among the people. The prefect immediately searched and found some unusual clues."
"Some people with special origins are gathering people secretly, and they also have some special magic weapons. The people who caught them secretly interrogated and confessed that they were allied with blood to bring good luck and support the real dragon."
After hearing this, Yu Fan made a "buzz" sound, his ears rang for a while, and he broke into a cold sweat. At this time, someone really dared to think about changing the dynasty.
Yu Fan frowned and thought for a long time, and said: "Rebellions and rebellions in the past dynasties have rarely been successful. How dare they? Besides, this dynasty has only been 300 years old, just over half of it. It has been difficult to govern for decades now.
With today’s ZTE situation, what can we rely on?”
Mr. Kou giggled and said: "The eclipse of the sun and the moon are the basis. The world is a public weapon, and the monarch upholds it on behalf of heaven. Whenever there is a sign from the sky, people's thoughts will be confused. Once the thoughts are confused, there will be a place for heroes to use their skills."
"But my lord, the situation in the Cai Dynasty is still very stable. Even if someone stirs up trouble, it will be self-destruction or pave the way for Allah. This must be investigated."
"I'm not stupid enough to have such thoughts." Yu Fan sighed, walked slowly, and said, "It's a pity that I just came to power, so there are all these chaos."
Mr. Kou silently stared at the lord's young face, seeing the traces of red air flowing into the lord's crown. He was silent for a long time. Yu Fan was startled and said: "Why, you have something to say, just tell us.
Is there anything else that cannot be said between the monarch and his ministers?"
Mr. Kou trembled, then smiled and said: "Lord, of course you can't do anything to bring about your own destruction, but the world is in chaos, and only then can heroes have a place to show their talents. This is right. As soon as the lord comes to power, the world will be in chaos. This may be
It’s because of some luck.”
This was a bit treasonous. Yu Fan was silent for a moment and said, "You can't say this."
"Yes" Mr. Kou bowed in response.
Yefu
At night, it was a rare sunny day. The sky was full of cold stars and the crescent moon was like a hook, making every lamp covered with a light silvery gray.
The fifty people on the list entered in order, and saw two rows of soldiers on the left and right side of the courtyard, each with a long sword hanging on his body, wearing armor, standing upright.
The wind blew against their faces with a chill. Each of these people was nervous and solemn. Without saying a word, they continued to file in along the underground corridor and stood solemnly at the designated place.
Ye Qing came in, his eyes blazing under the candle, stopped in the middle, glanced at everyone, and then went up to a step in front of the altar.
Ye Qing cleared his throat and said with a smile: "According to my feeling, today is the time. Fifty-three people are all prepared."
He said calmly: "For those who haven't gone or won't go, I've made arrangements and nothing will happen."
Lu Shangjing listened and thought, but heard Ye Qing continue to say: "There are many folk rumors now, but how many people have grasped the key points? The most outrageous thing is the change of dynasties. I don't think about how I can have this opportunity now. Of course
It is impossible to escape the laws of the country”
Having said this, Ye Qing smiled.
Everyone agreed. Ye Qing smiled and said nothing, his expression became solemn, and after a long time he said: "Very good, everyone is ready, please wait."
Everyone did nothing, but after a moment, all kinds of brilliance suddenly flashed and disappeared on everyone in this group, starting from the red light, and finally to Ye Qing's body, shining with golden light.
"Is this considered group travel?" Ye Qing also felt something, and immediately thought about it. At this moment, cold shadows seeped in, the light was bright, and a black hole popped up in the air, sending out a huge attraction.
"Pop!" The air shook, creating a whirlpool, and everyone in the basement disappeared.
The ground shook, and the people in the house suddenly felt something strange, and quickly informed Zifan. Although Zifan had a level of Qi nourishment, there was no sign of response. He rushed over, but was stopped by the guards, pointing at the door.
There is a golden seal on it, with Ye Qing's seal on it: "The head of the family and other adults are in retreat, no one is allowed to disturb them."
"But outside...this vibration down there..."
"We'll wait until the head of the family comes out to discuss everything." This soldier was a direct descendant of Ye Qing, but he didn't buy it and said firmly.
"When will the master of the house come out?"
"soon"
Ye Zifan was unhappy and was about to get angry, but someone came over hurriedly and said, "The old lady is awake, please come over immediately."
Ye Zifan was startled and left quickly.
At this time, it was originally sunny but began to get dark again. The clouds were rolling under the north wind, giving people a feeling of cool autumn. By the time Ye Zifan arrived in front of his residence, there were still a few drops of rain.
Ye Zifan stood still and looked at the sky. He believed that heaven and man were one. This gave him an ominous feeling, and he suddenly felt a sense of sadness.
When I went in again at this time, I saw people coming and going in the courtyard, and the fragrance of medicine was fragrant. When I got inside, I saw Ye Mengqiu lying on the bed, with a yellowish complexion.
Zifan saw someone holding a bowl of ginseng soup and feeding him. Ye Mengqiu drank a few sips and felt a little better. Gradually his face flushed. He smiled at Zifan and said, "You came just in time. I have some instructions."
, If I don’t say anything, I’m afraid it will be too late.”
Ye Zifan felt sour and hot in his heart, and tears rolled down his face.
"Life and death are destiny, wealth and honor are in heaven. At this time, I am not afraid at all. I can even have clarity. I still have half an hour, which is enough for me."
"You are my son. You have been working for thirty years and you have always been promising. Since there is no young son, you are the head of the family. However, people are good at what they say when they are about to die. I have some words for you."
He paused, smiled sadly, and stared into the distance: "Qing'er is the variable in my family and also the place of opportunity. When I am about to die, I can see farther and clearer."
"Qing'er's luck is booming, and there will be bright prospects in the future. I can't see clearly no matter how far away I am. After I leave, you will fully lean towards him. You can't delay your children and grandchildren."
"I believe what my father says and I will definitely obey it."
After hearing this, Ye Mengqiu breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes dimmed, and his face gradually turned gray. Zifan shook it slightly and said: "Father, you...do you have anything else to say? I'll call the doctor over."
"No, no," Ye Mengqiu gritted his teeth and said, "I'm about to go. There is only one request behind me, that I must enter the outer temple..."
"Father, I will do this even if I work hard, and Qing'er won't refuse."
After receiving this promise, Ye Mengqiu immediately smiled with satisfaction, suddenly opened his eyes, and said clearly: "I'm going, take care of yourself..."
I tilted my head and couldn't wake up again.
"Father" Ye Zifan called loudly, feeling buzzing and confused, and his vision was dim.
In the daze, someone came up and made various noises. When Ye Zifan woke up, he found that he was back in his yard. It was dark, the rain was coming down hard, and it was raining heavily. Ji Xian's wife was coming.
I gave myself some tea, took a sip, and burst into tears.
Ye Mengqiu has been in charge of clan affairs for decades, and his prestige is extraordinary. Although Ye Qing later became the clan leader, as long as Ye Mengqiu survives, he still has the backbone.
After this time, Ye Zifan felt a bone-chilling coldness, as if he had no support anywhere, and then he deeply understood that his body was no longer in the right vein.
In the clan, an era has officially passed, and a new era is just around the corner.
