Chapter 54: Who Are You?

"What? How is this possible?! ”

When Qin Shu heard the news for the first time, she was shocked, and then she couldn't believe it.

Although she was not optimistic about the future of the Song family, she only thought that the Song family would die to protect Dayan.

Unexpectedly, the Song family died at the hands of their own people. Or die unjustly in this disgraceful way!

Died so tragically, so aggrieved. The monarch who has been loyal to them for more than 200 years was personally given death! What a irony and injustice this is for the Song family.

That's right, Qin Shu didn't believe that the Song family would collaborate with the enemy and betray the country!

Not only will she not believe it, but the people of the world will probably not believe it either.

"How so?" Qin Shu muttered to herself and sat on the chair, feeling indescribably aggrieved and uncomfortable.

Although she had only been in contact with General Song Liangxiu, she admired and respected the Song family very much.

She felt worthless for the Song family in her heart.

All heroes are worthy of admiration.

Qin Shu eased her feelings, and asked with a hint of luck, "You'an, is this true?" ”

Qin Youan nodded solemnly, "It's true." ”

In order to be well-informed, the Qin family also set up a ten-person team to collect and send and receive news, not to mention that this matter has been reported to the whole country, and there will be no mistake.

"What the hell is going on? How is the Song family now? Qin Shu finally accepted this matter, pinched her forehead and asked.

Qin You'an's eyes were deep, and he said in a calm tone: "Originally, General Song Lao had been leading troops to guard the border passes and resist the increasingly powerful Mongolian tribes, but this time, for some reason, the Song family army was lost and defeated, General Song and General Song were both killed on the battlefield, Song Sangongzi was seriously injured, and the 200,000 army was almost wiped out......"

Speaking of this, his face suddenly revealed a bit of sarcasm, and said: "The imperial court blamed the Song family for everything, and the ministers of the court headed by Prime Minister Sun Cheng played one after another, saying that the Song family collaborated with the enemy and treason, deliberately leaked the news to the enemy, and deliberately lost the battle, and the little emperor ordered the Song family to be executed. ”

In fact, the little emperor didn't believe it at first, but he had soft ears and was not firm in his will, and under the repeated persuasion of Cao Zhong and Empress Dowager Zhou, he believed it.

"Didn't the Song family resist? Are they willing to be killed? Qin Shu gritted her teeth and asked.

"The men in the Song family who can stand up to things are almost all dead, what can a group of old and weak women and children do?" Qin Youan sneered, "General Song Liangxiu was seriously injured and died before he was escorted back to Beijing. Only General Song II led troops to suppress rebellions in various places, and escaped by luck, and after hearing that the Song family was punished by the nine clans, he died of grief and indignation. The Song family army completely fell apart. ”

The Song family army is no longer as monolithic as before, it has long been infiltrated by other forces, and the Song family has always been excluded and suppressed. General Song obviously knew about this, but for the sake of the overall situation, he could only watch it, and finally led to the tragedy and demise of the Song family.

The Song family's mind was all spent on resisting foreign enemies and suppressing the rebellion, and they had no time to fight with that group of villains, and as a result, they fell into the trap and were framed and died.

How could they have imagined that someone would be so mad! Ignoring the general interests of the country and the people, they only think about fighting for power and profit.

Hearing that General Song Liangxiu was seriously injured and died, Qin Shu closed his eyes a little unbearably.

At the beginning, the scene of talking with General Song is still vivid, and he originally said that the next time he came to sit at home, how did he know that that time, it would be goodbye!

He has helped himself so much, and he hasn't had time to repay it, how could he die?

For his death, Qin Shu was very sad and regretful, but more of it was Dayan's resentment.

"Then the people of the Song family, have they survived?" Qin Shu opened her eyes and asked again.

"They're all dead." Qin Youan shook his head and said, after a pause, he suddenly said to Qin Shu: "Mother, I want to continue to recruit troops." ”

You'an's words pulled Qin Shu out of her grief-stricken thoughts, and she looked up at him. You'an's expression was firm, his eyes were clear, and he had obviously made up his mind.

Qin Shu nodded and said, "Mother supports you, do what you want!" ”

After speaking, he sneered and said: "Self-inflicted, don't live!" Da Yan still thinks that he is not fast enough, so he will die by himself! ”

……

As soon as the Song family was punished by the nine tribes, the whole world was shocked, and the people everywhere were immersed in grief.

There were even many angry people who smashed the local yamen, forcing the officials to close their doors and not dare to show their heads at all.

There are also some forces that take the opportunity to incite the people, in the name of avenging the Song family, forming gangs and factions, denouncing the cruelty and ** of the imperial court, they even dare to kill the patron saint of Dayan, what else dare not do, it is simply mad. How could such a court take the common people in its eyes? It is better to overthrow them as soon as possible and build a new and better world.

There were many riots all over the country again, countless corrupt officials were killed, countless officials were burned, this time without the suppression of the Song family, Dayan suddenly became a pot of porridge, and even the capital was a little turbulent.

At this time, Prime Minister Sun Cheng was also a little panicked.

He framed the Song family just for his own interests and selfishness.

He is ambitious, looking forward to one day being able to monopolize power, and he has long seen the military power of the Song family, but unfortunately the Song family can't win it over at all, and it is quite valued by the little emperor, so he can only find a way to defeat the Song family.

Fortunately, the Song family offended too many people, the queen mother, Cao Zhong, and Guozhang didn't like them, and the little emperor was stupid, so they worked together, and this brought down the Song family.

But he never thought that he would let Dayan finish playing!

If Dayan is gone, he will also be finished, how can he still have the current rich days?

In the past, when he heard someone say that the Song family was the protector of Dayan, he still scoffed at it, but now, he understands it a little

Now, he understands a little.

Without the Song family, Dayan is like a toothless tiger, and there is no deterrent at all.

Now, Dayan's military power has basically fallen into his hands, but unfortunately, there is no one in his hands to use, those people under him, slapping horses, fighting for power and profit, playing all kinds of conspiracies and tricks, are all good hands, really let them lead the troops to fight, hehe, I'm afraid they will only wash their necks and wait for others to kill.

Thinking of this, Sun Xueyi really regretted it, he knew that he would have attracted more talents and promoted less useless things.

But it's too late to say anything.

The guests in his house saw that he was full of sorrow and couldn't make a face, so they hurriedly arranged for Sun Xueyi's favorite singer and concubine to come and make him happy.

And it worked.

After the beauties sang and danced, Sun Xueyi's face really showed a little smile, and he was very unhappy.

Just when he was about to leave with the two beauties in his arms and have some fun, a decree suddenly came to the palace, and the Empress Dowager Zhou wanted to summon him into the palace.

Sun Xueyi's face instantly fell.

He walked directly to the eunuch who passed the decree, snatched the holy decree from his hand, threw it on the ground and stomped on it a few times, scolding while stepping on it: "Old **, slut, so many faces can't satisfy you, do you have to be happy if grandpa kills you?" ”

Hearing Sun Xueyi humiliating and scolding the Empress Dowager Zhou with a look of disdain, everyone present was accustomed to it, and there was no fear of dissuasion at all, even the eunuchs sent by the Empress Dowager Zhou were silent.

Sun Xueyi's favorite concubine stepped forward with a smile, twisted into his arms like a water snake, stretched out her jade finger, pointed at his cheek, and said coquettishly: "The old man is angry, that old woman values the old man, which means that the old man is more powerful than those men, the old man should be happy, why bother about this?" ”

After speaking, he pursed his red lips as if he was jealous and said: "If you want to say that you are unhappy, it should be us sisters, every time the master wants to accompany us, she will order someone to ask for someone, for fear that we will squeeze the master dry, I really hate it to death!" ”

When Sun Xueyi heard her say this, he actually laughed, he hugged the stunner in his arms tightly, took a bite on her red lips and said: "Master's little baby will also be jealous, don't worry, in my heart, that old woman is not as good as a hair of yours." You obediently wait for your master at home, and you will be back soon. ”

After speaking, he pushed the woman in his arms out fiercely, and left with a gloomy face.

In the splendid Bliss Palace, the Empress Dowager Zhou was bathing.

She soaked in a milk bath because she had heard that her skin would be fairer and smoother by doing so.

Not only that, she also has to drink human milk every day, and the palace has specially raised a group of nurses, all of whom she has carefully selected, which is more careful than choosing brain nurses for those princes and princesses.

These nurses have to bathe every day, the recipes are also very particular, what to eat and drink every day, there are strict regulations, these recipes, all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, ginseng, bird's nest are just ordinary, even the water to drink every day, is the designated spring water, need to be sent over every day, there can be no flaws on the body, all of them are raised with fine skin and tender meat.

The cost of raising only these nurses is a large amount of money every day.

After the Empress Dowager Zhou finished bathing, she stood up from the bathtub, and immediately someone from the palace stepped forward to dry her body and put on a translucent light veil.

That's right, the Empress Dowager Zhou is in the dormitory, and she never wears normal clothes, thinking those clothes are cumbersome.

After bathing, the Empress Dowager Zhou lay on the beauty couch and waited for Sun Xueyi to arrive.

She has raised so many faces, but they are not as good as Sun Xueyi and her mind, she has to summon him once in a few days, otherwise, it is as if there is something missing in her heart.

Just thinking like this, Prime Minister Sun Cheng, who was dark and strong, with a beard on his face, walked in.

When he came to the queen mother's bedroom, he never had to be informed.

Seeing the Empress Dowager Zhou lying on the beauty couch, Sun Xueyi's face flashed a trace of anger and boredom, no matter how well the Empress Dowager Zhou is maintained, she is also an old woman, how can she compare to the charming concubines in his back house?

But now, this old woman is still useful, and he still has to coax her.

Thinking so, Sun Xueyi calmly walked over, didn't say a word, and directly picked her up and walked to the bed behind the light yarn.

Empress Dowager Zhou exclaimed in surprise and immediately hugged Prime Minister Sun's neck.

Half an hour later, Sun Xueyi got up from the bed with a cold face, frowned and said, "Okay, I'm leaving, don't look for me these days, I've been very busy lately." ”

"Wait!" Empress Dowager Zhou sat up, with a flush on her face, and said, "The mourning family knows that you are busy, but what can be more important than me?" ”

Sun Xueyi endured it, and finally couldn't help it, turned around and scolded: "Ignorant woman, you know this bit of love and love, which major event in the world is not more important than you?" It's very chaotic outside now, and when Dayan is finished, you, the queen mother, will come to an end, maybe you won't even be able to save your life, and you will be happy when I see it. ”

"What? Is there such a strict zhòng? Empress Dowager Zhou was taken aback and hurriedly asked worriedly.

She hasn't been enough of the queen mother, and the palace has not been built, how can she be willing to die?

"Of course!" Sun Xueyi said with a calm face, "Now that the Song family is finished, those untouchables are starting to be restless, if they are not suppressed in time, they will come to the capital sooner or later." ”

"Why are you so useless! Hurry up and send troops to suppress it, the Song family has never been in trouble when they are here! Empress Dowager Zhou hurriedly said.

Compared with his own life, what is Sun Xueyi?

Sun Xueyi was furious when he heard this, when he destroyed the Song family, this old lady contributed the most, and now he is to blame. But he still held back his anger and said: "The matter is urgent, and the prime minister has not found a suitable candidate yet." ”

"The mourning family doesn't care, the mourning family only knows that the Song family's talisman is in your hands, if you can't suppress it, the mourning family has no choice but to let the emperor take back the talisman." Empress Dowager Zhou said with a calm face.

Because of the soldiers of the Song family

Because the military power of the Song family fell into the hands of Sun Xueyi, the people of the Zhou family have always complained about her. Sun Xueyi dared to throw his face at her, it was really ungrateful. However, she just likes people like that.

When Sun Xueyi heard this, his heart suddenly became anxious, his eyes rolled, and he said with a smile: "I'm joking with you, I have hundreds of thousands of troops in hand, and I can't catch a few thieves." The Queen Mother can rest assured that the Prime Minister will do her best to handle this matter. ”

"It was better to do so." Empress Dowager Zhou nodded and said.

After Sun Xueyi left the Bliss Palace, his big black face suddenly became even darker.

He secretly considered the right person in his heart.

Suddenly, his head flashed, and he suddenly remembered someone.

Before, in the Song army, there was a general named Zhu Cuo, who was born in poverty, but he was very good at leading battles, and he was all a genius in leading soldiers, and he was very valued by the old Song general.

But because he has a tyrannical personality, he is very murderous, and he will kill people if he doesn't like it, and even the common people don't let go. It is said that Zhu Cuo hated the Song family to the core.

Why didn't he find him and entrust him with the task of suppressing these rebels!

Thinking of this, Prime Minister Sun Cheng laughed proudly twice and said, "Okay, it's him." Sure enough, the sky will not die, my Dayan! ”

Soon, he ordered someone to find Zhu Cuo and entrusted him with a heavy task.

Zhu Cuo really didn't disappoint him, and soon, the riots everywhere were quelled.

It's just that there is one more thing that bothers Sun Xueyi, that is, the strong enemy of Mongolia.

He didn't want to be like the Song family, fighting with them, anyway, they just wanted things, unlike those thieves who wanted to rebel. Therefore, he hurriedly sent people to negotiate with them, and the compensation and grain were paid, which satisfied their appetite, and the Mongols were satisfied with the withdrawal of troops.

Now that the treasury is empty, the little emperor wants to choose a concubine, and the queen mother wants to build a palace, this time the compensation has wiped out all the funds of Dayan's family, and there is no way, Prime Minister Sun Cheng had to increase the tax again. Even those areas that are suffering from drought and flooding are not spared, and if the tax revenue does not come up, troops are sent to forcibly levy it, and if they do not give it, they will be arrested and severely punished. If you want to get people out, the taxes will be even heavier, the behavior is simply outrageous, the people's anger is getting bigger and bigger, and it is impossible to curb it at all, and there are more and more people who oppose Yan, and the suppression is not complete at all, and Dayan has reached the verge of collapse.

……

In less than three months, Qin Youan has recruited more than 2,000 people, most of whom are Minzhuang from several nearby villages, as well as homeless people and tenants. During this period, he also killed several wealthy and unkind families in the county, robbed them of their property, occupied their fertile land, and sowed seeds for his own family.

In Changping County, Qin Youan is already a dominant company, and he may capture the county seat at any time and take the entire county into his own hands.

However, if that were to happen, the target would be too great, and it would immediately lead to repression by the imperial court, and it would not be too late at this time.

You must know that Zhu Cuo is simply a madman, and in the past few months, he has not known how much blood of the people has been stained on his hands.

Fortunately, today's Changping County Commander is a cowardly and incompetent, usually only knows that he is corrupt and perverts the law, drunk and dreams of death, and does not care about everything else. Now, seeing Qin Youan getting bigger, he didn't even dare to let go of his fart, and shrunk the turtle shell to live his own life.

The two are at peace for the time being.

In fact, not only Qin Youan, but also many forces took advantage of the chaos to kill state officials, open warehouses and release grain, recruit troops, expand territory, and quickly formed their own forces. Compared with them, You'an's actions are just a small thing.

At this time, You'an didn't have much ambition, and now he just wants to protect his mother and himself, and protect his homeland, so he only focuses on the present, so he is a little constrained, but he is not as fast as others.

The time has entered late autumn.

Qin Shu and You'an still live in the original house, even if there are more guards at home, her life has not changed much compared to before.

The commotion outside didn't seem to affect them.

The Qin family is very lively.

Because today is Qin Shu's birthday.

In her previous life, she had no family, no one missed her, and even she almost forgot her birthday.

And after the crossing, she never thought about it.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, the birthdays of her past and present lives are all on the thirteenth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar.

You'an didn't know how her birthday, so he had to celebrate her birthday, and at least set up a birthday banquet.

Qin Shu couldn't resist him, so she had to agree.

Everyone sitting there is their own person, and there are no outsiders, so it is good for everyone to sit around and have a lively meal.

In the living room of the main house, everyone sat around the large round table. She sat on the top, You'an sat next to her, in addition to You'an, there were Sun Tianlai's brothers and sisters, Zhao Li's family of three, Zhou Zhen'er, and You'an's former friends, the current left and right hands, Liu Si, Qin Gui and Sun Ji and others.

Because Qin Shu made a cake for You'an when he celebrated his birthday before, this time Aunt Ou also made one for Qin Shu, although it is not as good as the birthday cake in the previous life, it looks seven or eight points similar.

Qin Shu wore a newly made red shirt and white dress, and put on some light makeup, with a golden step on her head that You'an bought for her, and even a pink silk flower in her temples, and a pair of red bead earrings on her ears, coupled with a sincere smile on her face, she became more and more beautiful and moving.

However, instead of singing happy birthday songs, they say greetings.

After everyone finished saying the congratulations one by one, You'an suddenly stood up, took two steps back, and knelt down to Qin Shu.

Qin Shu was startled, and hurriedly wanted to help him up, but was stopped by You'an.

I saw You'an kneeling on the ground, looked at her and said seriously: "Mother, although you are not my biological mother, in the heart of my son, you are closer than your biological mother, and more important than anyone else in the world." There is no mother

Want. Without my mother, I wouldn't be where I am today. The son hereby swears that he will never make his mother sad and sad in the future, and will always be filial to his mother and respect his mother, if I violate this oath, I will be pierced through my heart with ten thousand arrows, and I will not die well......"

When Qin Shu heard this, her nose was sore, and she almost burst into tears, but with a smile on her lips, she said, "Silly boy, get up quickly!" Who made you swear such a heavy poisonous oath, in case ......"

The ancients all took a heavy oath, and when Qin Shu arrived here, he couldn't help but value it a little, and You'an's poisonous oath was extremely heavy. She believed him, and she didn't want Yoan to be bound by an oath.

"There won't be any case." After You'an finished speaking firmly, he kowtowed to Qin Shu and said, "My son wishes his mother eternal health and beauty, good luck, and happiness." ”

"Okay, my mother knows." Qin Shu's eyes were red and with a smile, she pulled him up from the ground.

This time, Youan didn't struggle and stood up with her strength.

Seeing this scene, everyone present was quite moved and envious.

Because of this, the normal birthday banquet is spent in warmth.

You'an looked very excited, he drank a lot of wine, like a child, pestering Qin Shu to ask for that.

Seeing that Qin Shu shook his head, and because he was rarely as happy as he was now, he was reluctant to dissuade him, so he indulged him this time.

In the end, everyone ate longevity noodles again, and the feast was dispersed.

At this time, it was already a branch on the moon, and everyone didn't stay long, so they dispersed.

Qin Shu was happy today, and she drank a few times more, which was a bit upset. Aunt Ou carried her in to rest.

Before going in, Qin Shu thought of You'an, and was about to say a few words, when he heard Zhou Zhen'er say, "Aunt Qin, don't worry, I will take care of You'an." ”

Thinking of these three months, Zhou Zhen'er took care of You'an very well, and she has always been well-behaved, and she didn't do anything out of the ordinary, Qin Shu has also changed a lot of her opinion, plus she is also a little dizzy, she didn't think much about it, nodded and agreed.

After all, You'an has grown up, and there are many things, and many people have to go in and out, and it is no longer suitable to live in the main house, so he moved to the east wing, which is both a study and a bedroom.

Zhou Zhen'er helped You'an all the way to the bedroom in the east wing, and slowly helped You'an to lie on the bed.

Fortunately, Zhou Zhen'er practiced martial arts and had great strength, otherwise, she really couldn't support such a tall person as You'an.

Seeing You'an lying on the bed with a drunken blush, Zhou Zhen'er looked at him in a daze for a while, and then as if he had suddenly woken up, he hurriedly went out and came back with a basin of warm water, and wiped You'an's face and hands carefully.

She didn't know how to do these jobs before, but in the past three months, she has become familiar with them.

As long as she can be by You'an's side, she is willing to do whatever she does.

After wiping her face, she began to take off You'an's shoes and socks and wash his feet again, and finally took care of him, and Zhou Zhen'er was also tired and sweaty.

He splashed the dirty water, washed his hands and came back, made a bed for You'an, and undressed him so that he could sleep.

In the past, although You'an asked her to serve, she only poured water or something, and never let her serve closely, this is the first time that she is so close to You'an.

While helping him loosen his clothes, he couldn't help but feel shy.

At this time, a thought suddenly rose in her heart-

It's better to give yourself to him at this moment.

In this way, she will not have to suffer from gains and losses in the future.

Moreover, if he wants himself, he will always give himself a name, and she can stay by his side justifiably, instead of being an unknown concubine like now.

As soon as this thought moved, it could no longer be stopped.

She couldn't help but tremble slightly in her hand for You'an's wide clothes.

She swallowed, cheered herself up, gritted her teeth, and took off Youan's coat.

And she herself began to untie her clothes widely, and all that was left was a bandeau and knee pants.

After hesitating for a long time, she finally complied with her heart's wishes and climbed into bed.

But then, she didn't know what to do.

No one had taught her, and she had to figure it out on her own.

Therefore, according to her own will, she leaned down and held You'an's face with her hand, wanting to kiss him.

As soon as her hand touched You'an's face, You'an suddenly opened his eyes and reached out to grab her wrist.

"Ahh

You'an's strength was so great that it almost broke her hand, and she couldn't help screaming in pain, and tears poured out in an instant.

Her scream seemed to wake up You'an all of a sudden, and You'an's eyes suddenly became clear.

He looked at her with a deep, cold, but unfamiliar look for a moment, and then suddenly narrowed his eyes and asked, "Who are you?" ”
