On July 15, the ninth year of Dacheng, Wang Ke finally waited for the Eastern Expeditionary Army to rush back from the Northeast Front, the rebels and the defenders have been fighting for more than a month, they were already exhausted, and now the reinforcements are coming, the morale of the defenders has increased greatly, and the reinforcements are flanked on both sides, the rebels retreat step by step, and finally can not support, and finally can not support, and it ends in failure, the rebels from rebellion to failure, only supported less than three months, Qin Qiming watched his defeat like a mountain, afraid of the cruel punishment after being caught, and committed suicide in the barracks.

On the Xuanzheng Hall of Longxiang Palace in Luoyang Xinggong, the emperor glanced at the courtiers in the court with gloomy eyes, and said slowly: "Qin Qiming cut himself and the rebels surrendered, but the anger in my heart is hard to dissipate. ”

There was silence below the court, and the ministers all knew that the emperor was very angry this time, originally everything went well in this Eastern Crusade, and he could sweep away the previous bad luck, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen halfway, resulting in the failure of the Second Eastern Crusade, and the Duke of Qi Dugu Kai came out and said: "The minister thinks that Qin Qiming's crime cannot be punished, and only by killing all his nine clans can he deter the Quartet and return my great Jin prestige." ”

After listening to Dugu Kai's performance, all colleagues knelt down and said yes, asking the emperor to kill the nine clans.

The emperor was silent for a while, and said sharply: "How can the killing of the nine clans calm the anger in my heart, people say that the son does not teach, the father's fault, the apprentice's sin is extremely evil, how can the master get rid of it, Gao Pu has taught for decades, and the good apprentice who is proud of it taught such a thing, I have always been benevolent and righteous to the Qin family, I didn't expect them to repay me like this, even so, add another clan to the nine clans, the Gao clan in Luoyang, and punish it." ”

When the courtiers below heard this, they all felt cold, Gao Pu didn't know about this rebellion, just because Qin Qiming was Gao Pu's disciple, he wanted to kill the Gao family, what a disaster for the pond fish.

"Your Majesty, Gao Pu is a highly prestigious scholar in the Great Jin Dynasty, and the Gao family is a century-old wealthy family in Luoyang. Wei Kai, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, wrote above.

"You mean to say that the Gao family is even more noble than me?" The Emperor said softly.

"I don't dare." Wei Kaizhi was terrified.

"Hehe, you don't dare? Don't think that I don't know what is circulating among your people, Luoyang Gao Clan, five feet away from the sky, today I want to move this Gao clan that is higher than the sky, see what they can do with me? The emperor said angrily, "Come on, drag Wei Kaizhi down and cut it down today." ”

"Your Majesty spares your life." Wei Kaizhi's frightened voice faded away under the drag of the guards, and the other ministers in the court were so frightened that they didn't dare to come out.

"Xie Yun, I remember that you have an in-law relationship with the Gao family, right, Rong Hua and the eldest lady of the Gao family, when is the wedding date?" The emperor turned his head to stare at Xie Yun and said.

Xie Yun was shocked when he heard the emperor call his name, and replied: "This was indeed the case before, but as early as two months ago, the minister had already sent a letter of divorce to the Gao family, and the Xie family and the Gao family have long been out of business, and I hope Your Majesty will find out." ”

The emperor nodded with satisfaction, turned his head to look at Wang Ke, and said with a smile: "Wang Qing has made meritorious contributions to defending the city this time, and intends to be promoted to the Eastern Capital Guard. ”

Wang Ke stepped out of the queue and bowed his head and said, "Thank you for your grace." ”

The emperor motioned for him to calm down and said, "The responsibility of executing the rebels and the Gao clan after the autumn has also been handed over to Aiqing, I hope Aiqing will not let me down." ”

Wang Ke's body stiffened, the emperor of the relationship between the Wang family and the Gao family could not be unaware, and now this arrangement is a deliberate temptation, if he misses this matter slightly, the Wang family will also be doomed, he replied with a smile: "Your Majesty rest assured, the minister will live up to Your Majesty's trust." ”

"That's very good, you Aiqing still have any objections." The emperor looked at His Royal Highness's ministers, and the smile on his face was gone, and he became majestic again.

"Your Majesty is wise, and the ministers have no objections." The courtiers knelt down and replied. Even Xie Yun and Wang Ke have abandoned the Gao family, and the others will not choose the right position unless they are fools.

"Okay, then I'll leave for Chang'an tomorrow and leave Beijing for many days, I don't know how many things have piled up to deal with." After speaking, the emperor got up and left.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty." The ministers sent the emperor away with respectful expressions.

Half a month later, as soon as Xie Yun returned to Chang'an, he rushed back to the Wei Mansion in a hurry, and when he saw the waiting lady who came out of the hospital, he frowned and said, "You don't have a good rest, you come out and worry that the wind will aggravate your condition." ”

Mrs. Xie shook her head, held Xie Yun's hand and said, "What did Your Majesty say?" ”

Xie Yun shook his head gloomily and said: "Don't talk about interceding for the Gao family, if we hadn't sent a letter of divorce to the Gao family earlier, the Xie family would probably not be able to escape implication, the Gao family has now come to an end, Your Majesty ordered Wang Ke to deal with the remnants of the rebels and the Gao family, and it is clear that even the Gao family's last way of life has been cut off." Mrs. Lao, help Rong Hua choose a wife, we can't save this Gao family. ”

Hearing his words, Mrs. Xie took a step back in fright and muttered, "How come? The Gao family did not participate in the rebellion, what does the husband think of this matter. ”

Xie Yun frowned and said: "Your Majesty said a word in the court, Luoyang Gao's family, five feet away from the sky, I'm afraid that I have long wanted to move the Gao family, but now it's just a reason to use Qin Qiming's matter, and moving the Gao family is probably just the beginning, the five surnames and Qiwang are now panicking, and I'm afraid that the next one will be their turn." Xie Yun shook his head and sighed.

"Originally, I thought that the Gao family was powerful, and I could use the strength of the Gao family to protect the Xie family, so I asked Rong Hua to go to Luoyang to ask for this family business, but now it seems that fortunately, Qin Qiming rebelled before they got married, otherwise how would Rong Hua be good." Mrs. Xie lamented: "Husband, let's hide this from Rong Hua, he originally complained a lot about our withdrawal from his family, if it wasn't for my sick body dragging him, he would have gone to Luoyang to go to troubled waters." ”

Xie Yun nodded, and instructed his subordinates not to leak the news to the second son, as long as the autumn passed, everything would be too peaceful.

In the dim prison, Gao Yue was curled up in the corner of the prison in a prison uniform, with a beautiful face and a pair of eyes looking at the glimmer of light falling from the window.

"Sister, I really wronged you, if you weren't from the Gao family, how good it would be." Gao Haotian looked at Gao Yue's appearance, his heart throbbed, from the moment he knew that the Xie family had withdrawn from the marriage, he had never seen Gao Yue's smile again.

Gao Yue shook her head and said: "I never regret that I was born into the Gao family, if I am not a member of the Gao family, how can he ask me for marriage, I know that he is also a wise man to protect himself, but he can't avoid the discomfort in his heart." ”

"Sister." Gao Haotian terrier's pharynx.

"Brother doesn't have to blame himself, my father and brother have hurt Yue'er for sixteen years, everything always depends on me, even the marriage is due to Yue'er's willfulness, make your own decisions, if there is an afterlife, Yue'er hopes to still be her father's daughter, brother's sister." Gao Yue said, his voice firm.

Gao Pu, who had been silent with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were full of tears, and his old voice sounded slowly: "Yue'er, how I hope you can live and leave this prison." ”
