This winter in Chang'an was drier and colder than in previous years. It wasn't until the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month that some melted fine snow fell from the sky, which accumulated for several days in a row, accumulating a thin layer of silver frost. For fear of waking up something, he gently covered the gray earth.

The pedestrians in the streets and alleys all shrank their hands and feet, walking quickly, but they couldn't hide their joy in their hurried looks. The enemy retreated, and without the fear of impending catastrophe, the days returned to their hardships but peace.

Hungry and clothed, they are satisfied and grateful. What does it matter who owns the world? The people of grass mustard only seek food and clothing, and the years are peaceful.

However, after tea and dinner, they are still willing to pass on those court affairs that are difficult to distinguish between true and false. It is rare and leisurely and untaboo to get the first month, just so that the people of Xun Lao and the cold are watching with their sleeves in their hands, and the ups and downs of these food families in the city are turning feng shui.

This time, it really answered their mouths -- a few happy and a few sad.

In the rumors, the deceased general Situ Yi suddenly appeared at the critical juncture when Tongguan was besieged, not only relieved the siege, but also led troops to repel the enemy's attack. He was also awarded the title of Auxiliary General and Champion Hou for his merits, and he was honored for a while. Even, even one of the young pioneers around him had to be a hussar captain. There are also those who invoke the brigades, and the four major festivals that participated in this campaign with him were also added to the feudal and increased the city, each with its own reward.

The things of the world are going to go and go, and they come and go. With such a group of upstarts rising, there are naturally old heroes who mourn and fall.

Layue was originally a quiet day for Yushitai, but this year it must not be stopped. On the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, the Prince of Changping and the five major festivals were handed over to the Imperial History Platform, and the imperial envoy Liao Wannian actually went against the usual practice, and went to the book that night to impeach Xiao Gui's brother Xiao Song, collaborating with the enemy and treason, forming a party for personal gain, framing Zhongliang, dictatorship and disorderly government, encroaching on the imperial tomb, occupying people's land, and committing murder.

It is rare to still impeach important ministers at the end of the year, and it is even rarer, but it is the three words "Qingjun side" on the impeachment book, which made Emperor Longqing determined to summon Xiao Song and all the children of his clan who have knighthoods to be imprisoned in Taiwan. When the dynasty was restored after staying in the Yuan Dynasty, it was immediately tried by the Yushi Taihui with the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and the Three Law Divisions.

As soon as this holy decree came out, the Yasukuni Company's disciple mansion, Wen'an Hou Chen Mansion, Shunning Hou Lu Mansion, Chongyi Bolu Mansion, and Lexin Bofan Mansion related to the Xiao family's in-laws were all like autumn insects, panicking and cautious.

In previous years, the lights were as bright as day at night in the first month of the first month, and the Zhumen mansion with silver flowers and fire trees was silent on this New Year's Eve. There are only a few huge red lanterns, and they are still on the side of those ostentatious gold plaques. The dim and jumping candlelight in the lantern is like a tearful eye at the end of the road, still smiling and smiling to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new.

has not yet recovered from the shock, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and even the people in the market have understood that the situation has changed again.

Several wealthy families are scattered and mourning, but more than half of the courtiers are secretly happy. The imperial court, as they wished, was not a place where some people were allowed to cover the sky with their bare hands.

At the beginning, Emperor Longqing's ascension to the throne was already foggy. It's just that at that time, above the Golden Palace, under the thousand five Jiage, the ministers were silent because of helplessness. And this time, Uncle Xiao Guo and his ilk were replaced by military generals, the Gyeonggi Provincial Garrison was dismantled and dispersed on the spot, and the command of the Praetorian Guard was changed overnight. In the Manchu Dynasty, there is also no voice of dissent, but the difference is that this time it is happy to see it.

Since Emperor Longqing ascended the throne, the Xiao Party has made meritorious contributions to its own establishment, hindered national government affairs everywhere, wantonly excluded dissidents, and framed Zhongliang. Emperor Longqing was helpless, and in order to confront, he wholeheartedly supported the eunuch party headed by Yu Xiangen. But I don't want to make it worse, so that now in the court, the two parties are fighting each other, and there is a miasma. However, the national government is becoming decadent day by day, and the people's resentment is boiling day by day.

Therefore, the heavy troops pressed outside Chang'an City, such a rebellious move, but the Manchu Dynasty officials and imperial historians were all unanimous, kept silent, and did not cause a trace of criticism in the court. Justice and people's hearts, even if it is on the field of profit, justice and justice will win the hearts of the people after all.

The wind direction has changed like this, and the Qin Mansion, which has been full of people in the past two years, immediately became lively. After all, Liao Wannian, the imperial envoy, is Qin Zi'an's protégé, and Situ Yi, who almost single-handedly saved Dachu Sheji, is about to become his fast son-in-law, and everyone knows these two things.

The Qin Mansion is full of momentum, but the mansion is as calm as ever.

Qin Zi'an has been sick and weak for a long time, and he lives in the inner courtyard to recuperate, except for a very few close protégés, he doesn't see anyone anymore.

Qin Nanfu and Xiao Luomei and his wife were in front of the entertainment. Although he is very busy, Qin Nanfu still has a calm and calm attitude. Everyone should be treated equally, thoughtful and courteous. Neither deliberately distanced the people who alienated them when the Qin family was in decline, nor did he make a fool of the newly powerful few major festivals. As a result, before the end of the New Year's Festival, Qin Nanfu's reputation was publicized intentionally or unintentionally by the officials, and quickly spread to the two capitals.

Unlike her husband's calmness, Xiao Luomei was happy on her face, but sad in her heart. Girls, who are already two families, husband's family and mother's family, seem to be the back of their palms, and it will hurt their hearts to touch either side. Although Xiao Song has always been cold to her, even her marriage is just one of his calculations. But he was her biological father after all. And the Xiao family is also the only maiden family in her life. The defeat of the Xiao family is like cutting off her palm, how can she not worry about the pain? Fortunately, Qin Nanfu has always cherished her with her heart, and after a long time of relief, she gradually let go, and since then she has loved Qin Nanfu wholeheartedly.

And Qin Nanxi, who came back with full of questions, saw his father's scorched and withered face, so he had to press back to the bottom of his heart full of doubts and speculations. Settle down and take care of my father's daily life and medicine.

Situ Yi came to visit twice, and was pushed back by Qin Zi'an. The situation is unstable, and he still has a lot to do.

The first month passed slowly in such a strange calm.

On the first day of the resumption of the dynasty after the Shangyuan Festival, just as the entire Chang'an was looking forward to the trial of the Xiao case by the three divisions. The person who was the first witness in another serious case was carried to the Golden Palace by Situ Yi in a grand manner.
