On the seventh day of February, the continuous rain for several days finally ended. Bianjing, which had been shrouded in dark clouds for five days, welcomed the first ray of warm sunshine, shining on the streets that were mixed with rain and blood.
After the water stains dried up in many places, dark red marks were left behind, silently telling something.
Until now, many people still don’t know what happened in Kyoto.
You can hear the noisy shouts of killing and smell the pungent smell of blood flowing in the air in Bianjing, but everyone has their doors tightly closed and they don't dare to go out on the streets.
It is hard to imagine that an unprecedentedly lively Lantern Festival was held in Bianjing half a month ago.
Everywhere is colorful and shining.
In just the blink of an eye, the capital city seemed to have fallen from the clouds into the mortal world in an instant. In people's minds, Bianjing City had not experienced such a situation for a long time.
Ordinary people did not know the whole story, but the princes and nobles were well-informed and gradually heard some rumors.
"King Yong rebelled"
"King Yong was the prince that the government wanted to establish, why did he rebel"
The old lady at home listened to the news. The lady reported the news and shook her head, "I'm afraid it's King Yan."
The lady took a sip of tea and hurriedly continued talking about the news she had just received, "It is rumored that King Yong has been sentenced to death. The king is now ordered to search for a conspirator, and many families close to the Yong Palace have been implicated. After being arrested and sent to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment."
Although the long-lost sunshine has ushered in, the city of Bianjing has become Even more turbulent.
And listening to what the eldest lady said, everyone in Shou'an Hall became even more anxious and panicked.
Crying sounds gradually began to spread in the Shou'an Hall. Minglan comforted the cute Rulan beside her who was crying loudly with her mouth curled up. However, her own eyes were also very red and swollen at the moment, and they had not been there for several days. Sleep well and pray day and night for your father and brother who are away from home.
“Why are you crying?”
“Isn’t my family doing well now?”
“Life and death are determined by destiny, wealth and honor are in heaven. My Sheng family has ancestors to bless and protect us. ."
"Those military generals have families with fathers and brothers going to war. Is it possible that the girls are crying like you all day long?"
"I believe that both the master and Changbai can do it. Come back safely."
The presence of the backbone old lady finally made everyone no longer so panicked.
But the worry in my heart has not diminished at all.
That night, the sounds of fighting were heard again.
I don’t know which army actually opened the closed gate of Bianjing City, entered the capital at night, and had a fierce street battle with the defenders in the city.
Fortunately, the fighting place was in the central area where the palace and palace were located. The Sheng family only heard the faint sound of horns and the sounds of fighting, and they had no sleep all night.
It lasted the whole night, and the smell of blood swept through the entire Bianjing city with the breeze. Looking down from the sky, it looked like aThe red mist of blood is moving.
At noon on the second day, the Sheng family, who had been in panic all day, finally received good news.
Changbai is back
Changbai’s eye sockets were sunken deeply, his face was extremely pale, and the light of the past could not be seen in his eyes, like an old man with a pickaxe, after staying at home for a long time Changbai took a deep breath and regained the slightest warmth.
The old lady stopped the group of women in front of her who were eager to ask questions and asked Chang Bai to wash up briefly.
It was only seven days, and it felt like a lifetime ago.
After Changbai finished washing, he first comforted his mother and Haishi who were still holding him in tears. Then he saluted the old lady and began to tell the whole story of the Bianjing Rebellion in a hoarse voice. process.
"Seven days ago, the official said that he was ill and had not gone to court early."
"Unexpectedly, the good-looking Forbidden Army mutinied. The commander of the Forbidden Army, Mr. Zhu Xianzhu, was ambushed and killed. The deputy commander Rong Cheng took over the palace defense, and the palace declared martial law, and then King Yan entered the palace to escort him. "
Changbai's voice was filled with mockery.
Everyone knew that this was a mutiny planned by King Yan.
Rong Cheng, the deputy commander of the Forbidden Army, is the brother of Concubine Rong and Rong Feiyan. He has always been highly regarded by the officials. Unexpectedly, this time the Rong family simply stood on King Yan's ship. Minglan thought about this It has something to do with Rong Feiyan being kidnapped.
“King Yan sent troops to surround the palace and Prince Yong’s Mansion.”
“The engagement banquet at Prince Yong’s Mansion gave King Yan a great opportunity. Almost all the people of King Yong attended this banquet. It is said that the palace of King Yong, which was already full of red, became a river of blood. King Yong was given poisoned wine and died on the spot."
"Princess Yong and Princess Yong died on the spot. Princess Jiacheng couldn't bear the humiliation and hit the wall and died."
"Rong Cheng didn't feel relieved at all. He directly hung the princess and the county princess on the stone lion at the entrance of Prince Yong's palace, without any trace of their hair."
p>Hear this.
The eldest lady couldn't help but swallowed.
She almost went to attend the engagement banquet that day.
The faces of all the women in Shou'antang became extremely ugly. Rong Cheng was undoubtedly seeking revenge for his dead sister Rong Feiyan. Mo Lan and Ru Lan started to listen to Chang Bai's description. He retched, it was hard to imagine that scene. < /p>
Changbai took out an object from his arms with a pale face, smiled bitterly at the old lady and said, "My grandson has already written his suicide note. I plan to rush out and fight the rebels and die with a smile. It's better than starving to death in that dark room."
The lady finally couldn't help crying.
If there was something wrong with her son, she, the mother, would not be alive.
Everyone fell silent.
Only Minglan suddenly asked in a low voice, "Second brother, where is daddy?"
Hearing this, Changbai's expression turned strange.
"I have never heard anything about my father. I have only vaguely heard people talk about it. This time, the three major battalions from the outskirts of Beijing returned to Beijing at night to escort them. It was a big man from Beijing who came with official military talismans. He conveyed the news to the outskirts of Beijing."
"It was also this gentleman who arranged the city gates and palace gates in advance, so the three battalions were able to march straight in and put down the rebellion in one night."
"This gentleman seems to be named Sheng"
The room suddenly became extremely quiet.
Everyone felt that it was not their master who had done such a big thing.
Ru Lan raised her head and looked at everyone.
She said cautiously, "It shouldn't be Daddy. Daddy usually rides a carriage smoothly, so how can he ride a horse?"
The eldest lady's eyes were shining at this time. , glared at Rulan fiercely, "What do you know, little girl? Your father was a first-class horseman when he was young. Your grandmother grew up in the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion. When he was hired by my family, he could ride a horse very well. Okay."
The conversation between the eldest lady and Ru Lan made the atmosphere in Shou'an Hall suddenly lively.
At least there is no longer the same depression as before.
The old lady was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief at this time.
"My Sheng family."
