The gates of Liancheng were under martial law for two days, and there were ten posts outside the city. If a large army came, Liancheng could respond quickly. Xie Jue seemed to be sure that Kyoto would not send troops to pursue him. Xie Jue was seriously injured and could not move, so Xie Jue stopped at Liancheng.
Two days.
After Xie Xun cried heartily in Feng Yu's arms, he came to look for Xie Jue.
Xie Jue was in the mourning hall, and the bodies of Zhenbei Hou, his wife, his two aunts, Xie Junhua and Xie Zhang were all brought out. In a sense, it was a family reunion.
There were six coffins parked in the mourning hall. Xie Jue was wearing mourning clothes and kneeling in front of the futon to burn millet stalks.
He was dizzy. He knelt down and kowtowed heavily, offered incense to his family, knelt beside Xie Jue and burned millet stalks with him.
The two brothers remained silent, accompanying each other and relying on each other for life.
Feng Yu accompanied Xie Xun to the outside of the mourning hall, turned around and left without going in. The courtyard in Liancheng was found temporarily. It was very close to the North City Gate and could be left at any time. There were cavalry stationed outside the house.
Xu Zhou and Cui Lansong are handling the military affairs of the cavalry. Cui Lansong has also sent a message back to Ningzhou to inform General Cui of the drastic changes in Beijing. Feng Yu can feel the restlessness of the cavalry. They rebelled from Kyoto and have been attacking Zhenbei for many years.
The Hou Mansion is loyal, but they don't know what to do next. People's hearts are different, and the court has no hatred for their father's murder. It is unknown whether they will follow Xie Jue and Xie Xun to rebel.
.
Feng Yu understands that after rebelling from Kyoto, Xie Jue and Xie Xun will face greater difficulties. There are hundreds of thousands of cavalry, and it is still unknown how many people are willing to follow Xie Jue and Xie Xun.
And what to do with military supplies?
The largest granary in Yanyang is located in Jiangnan and the suburbs of Kyoto. It is under the control of the Jiangnan garrison and Kyoto. If the cavalry is stationed in Ningzhou, the most urgent problem to be solved is food, grass and military supplies.
The Twelve Prefectures are also very good, and even the city to Ningzhou cannot provide the food and grass needed by hundreds of thousands of troops, and the Northern Barbarians are still eyeing it. If there is civil strife in Yanyang, the Northern Barbarians will tear up the treaty and start a war. What should we do?
Now if there is another war, no one will provide food and grass for the cavalry.
Lin Xiao, Zhang Boxing and Zhou Liyu were talking about something under the tree in front of the door. All three of them were a little depressed and sad. When Feng Yu came over, Zhang Boxing and Zhou Liyu waved to her.
"What are you doing?"
"We are unraveling Lin Xiao..."
"Shut up!" Lin Xiao stopped Zhang Boxing. Zhang Boxing spread his hands, but it didn't matter. Feng Yu came over and sat side by side with them, "I miss you."
"I've thought about it too." Zhang Boxing was a little depressed, "With her here, it's very noisy, but without her, it's so boring."
Several people looked at each other and smiled. They all knew that those carefree days in the past were gone forever, and no one could go back. The three of them had been expelled from their families, and businessmen from Kyoto would bring news from Kyoto.
.
Zhang Boxing thought, it would be good if his family was not affected.
Feng Yu remembered that they were enjoying the lanterns together during the Lantern Festival. These young men were so wanton and wanton. In just six months, who would have thought that they would make such a decision.
"Do you regret it?" Feng Yu asked.
"I don't believe that the Marquis will kill the late emperor. It must be a conspiracy. I also can't see the loyal ministers and good generals dying unexpectedly. The young Marquis has saved my life. If he hadn't come to save me in Xiyan Mountain, I would have died a long time ago. I have no idea at all.
I regret it because I'm afraid it will hurt my mother. But Zhang Bolan has the ability to follow the dragon and will definitely be able to save them." Zhang Boxing looked in the direction of Kyoto and said, "I am not an inconspicuous person in the Zhang family. I have been completely suppressed by my eldest brother since I was a child.
I am so angry that my life is so boring. Nowadays, if you set up a scheme to kill your father and kill your king, you will be a tyrant at first glance. Why should you sacrifice your life for him? After leaving the capital, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. Follow the young marquis and wander around the world!"
"Are you sure you are wandering around the world and not rebelling and usurping the throne?" Zhou Liyu raised his eyebrows.
"it's the same!"
"Ah!"
Feng Yu laughed, "Where is Zhou Liyu?"
"I am not a direct descendant of the Zhou family. I have been living and waiting for death since I was a child. I don't have many ideas. I will do whatever my brothers do. They all led troops to rescue the young Marquis. I can't be greedy for life and fear death. Besides, the Marquis family
...Why did you end up like this? I don’t accept it either.”
Zhou Liyu, like many others in Kyoto Wei, has a herd mentality. Lin Xiao and Zhang Boxing are his best brothers, and he wants to advance and retreat together with his brothers.
To show sympathy for the Hou Mansion, in that situation, no one could just watch Xie Xun being killed by the Imperial Army like a trapped animal, and Xie Xun even saved their lives.
Lin Xiao leaned back against the tree trunk, with dull eyes, and said lightly, "I am disappointed. Three days before the accident, I overheard the conversation between my eldest brother and my father, and I knew that the prince wanted to kill the king and blame the prince's family. I was
My legs were so frightened that I knocked over the vase and alerted them. Then I was imprisoned in the dungeon. Regicide... When did my Lin family become a regicide knife? I know exactly what they were plotting. My eldest brother did it.
Prepare with both hands. If the prince is defeated, my father will take my mother, Yuyan and I to escape overnight, or seek the protection of the elder. They want to kill the elder's daughter, son-in-law and grandson, but they actually conspire to seek their protection after the defeat. How ridiculous.
Ah. I advised the eldest brother not to help the tyrants, but the eldest brother couldn’t listen. He, Xie Zhang, Xie Jue and Fang Chuning are descendants of the same generation of aristocratic families, and have been compared with them since childhood. He always feels that the Xie Fang family was born in a noble family.
He was brought to the battlefield by his father before he achieved his current achievements. He was jealous, unwilling and unwilling to accept, and always wanted to do something great. He became the commander of the Forbidden Army and was not satisfied with becoming the consort. He also wanted to become a dragon.
I want to be a powerful minister who is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. For this reason, I have lost all my conscience. I...I can't accept it. Whether it's Big Brother or Yu Yan, although I have nothing to do since I was a child, I can't do those crazy things.
, they are my blood relatives, I can't repay them with flesh and blood, I can only flee far away. I don't want to join in the same trap with them. Even if my eldest brother really becomes a powerful minister as he wishes and enjoys all the glory and wealth, I still feel that it was bought with the blood of countless people.
, I’m not cruel enough to pretend that nothing happened.”
Lin Xiao was under much greater pressure than Zhang Boxing and Zhou Liyu, because although Lin Sheng was rebellious and helped the emperor do evil, he had loved his younger siblings since he was a child.
Lin Xiao got into many troubles, but it was Lin Sheng who made things right. When he was young, he hurt someone, and it was Lin Sheng who came to his house to apologize. Lin Sheng was a real elder brother to him, like a father.
Therefore, Lin Xiao could not accept that Lin Sheng did not distinguish between right and wrong and did evil without a bottom line.
"Don't think so much, we have been kicked out of the house anyway!" Zhou Liyu waved his hand, "Think more openly, after leaving Kyoto, we will all have a new life, and we will follow the young marquis around the world in the future... Oh, no... raise an army and rebel.
Well, maybe we can also master the power of the dragon, this thing is not that rare."
Several people were amused by Zhou Liyu, and they were actually more relieved after knowing that their family members would not be harmed. If Kyoto Wei dared to do this, he was gambling with the law and not blaming the public.
With so many children from aristocratic families, is it possible that Yu Wenjing wants to kill all the powerful people?
The nine clans of these children of aristocratic families are all clans.
"If the young marquis wants to be the emperor, I will be the first to support him. Five generations of loyal ministers and good generals from Zhenbeihou died in Ningzhou. For the sake of Yanyang's succession, Yu Wenjing is so useless. What if I, the young marquis, raise an army to rebel?
Already."
Lin Xiao put his hands behind his head, "Speaking of which, I'm also very confused. Why can the emperor only be from the Yuwen family?"
"They are born to be emperors, who decided that?"
"God knows!"
"Although there are capable people in this place, Yu Wenjing is not worthy of that tyrant. If a son kills his father, it will be like thunder." Zhou Liyu said disdainfully, "The late emperor must have regretted giving birth to such a thing."
"I don't understand why he wanted to kill the late emperor!" Feng Yu said, "The late emperor had high hopes for the prince, and he taught him personally from an early age. The relationship between father and son was very good. After the emperor ascended the throne, he also handed over his team to the prince. His position was stable, just for
It’s really crazy to blame the prince’s government for regicide.”
She asked Thirteenth Niang to inquire about her sister in the capital, but no news has been received yet. If the prince takes his sister away, her life will not be hurt for a while.
It's just that her sister is trapped in the palace, how should she deal with such a crazy person, and her brother-in-law died so tragically, she is really afraid that her sister will die together with the prince.
But if she stayed in the capital, it would only be the prince taking advantage of her sister's weakness. Feng Yu was helpless. She could not reach out to the palace. She wanted Xie Jue and Xie Xun to help. But she couldn't say it. The lives of the six people in the Hou Mansion were all in the mourning hall.
Here, their brothers must not return to Kyoto again.
elder sister……
Feng Yu sent a message to Thirteenth Niang. Three days after she left, she spread the news in the capital that the new emperor had imprisoned his wife, and she was determined to force Yu Wenjing to return her to Feng Mansion.
A flying pigeon landed on the eaves. Xie Jue's shadow guard whistled, and the flying pigeon landed on his hand. He entered the mourning hall with the message from Kyoto.
"Second Young Master, a letter from the palace."
Xie Jue took the note, read it and threw it into the fire. Xie Jue looked at the flames blankly, "Second brother, where are five, six, seventy-eight?"
"In Beijing!"
Xie Jue has always been taciturn, "My sister-in-law was imprisoned in Yongning Palace by him."
"This crazy thing!" Xie Xun was furious, "He has coveted my sister-in-law for many years, how could he let her go? My sister-in-law has a strong temper, and my brother died in front of her and was imprisoned in Yongning Palace. There is only one way to die."
"Covet sister-in-law?" Xie Jue asked coldly.
"He molested his eldest sister-in-law at the harem banquet of Beiman Li Beijing." Xie Xun was indignant. "He and his eldest brother even had a conflict."
"He is so mean and has no bottom line."
Xie Xun grew up, and this was the first time he heard his second brother say such vulgar words.
Xie Jue took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart, "The new king imprisons his wife in the harem. He can't stop everyone from talking about it. As long as the sister-in-law comes out of the palace, the shadow guards will take her away."
Although it’s only two updates, it’s still 7,000 words.
