Xiao Taiji also mentioned it before, but Xiao Shiji didn't think he was sincere, and only thought that he deliberately raised it in order to have an excuse to live back in the Xiao family's mansion. Now that they have all moved back, according to Xiao Shiji, they will pretend to have forgotten and never mention the matter of the past offerings of the dragon Xiangye.

Xiao Shiji didn't think about really handing over Long Xiangye to the second room family to take care of, after all, Long Xiangye is now a madman, and it would be thankless to take care of it as if someone was taking care of it.

Xiao Tai and? He really doesn't have so much filial piety.

But Xiao Tai and Long Shuzhi swore that they would take Long Xiangye over to make offerings.

Xiao Taiji even said: "Big brother, I know that Lu Dao Niang has been sick these days, and my eldest brother has been asking for medical advice everywhere, but he has not cured his mother." I'm thinking, maybe my mother has a heart disease. Heart disease still needs heart medicine, let my mother live back in our Xiao family's mansion, back to the way our father was there, maybe my mother will be better, and slowly, my mother's illness will get better. ”

Xiao Shiji's heart moved. These words spoke to his heart. No matter what Xiao Taiji's intentions were, his words were very positive about Long Xiangye's condition.

Xiao Shiji and Du Hengshuang glanced at each other, thinking about the same thing in their hearts.

Although Long Xiangye has always been abnormal, different from others, but the last straw that made her crazy was the matter of "innocence".

She thought that the truth about her "kidnapping" by the bandits was known to everyone, and she couldn't bear the huge psychological pressure, so she finally stopped going crazy.

In her crazy days, Xiao Shi and Zhilu said. In addition to cursing Fang Yuniang and Du Hengshuang's mother and daughter, Long Xiangye was reminiscing about the time she spent with Xiao Xiangsheng.

In the past, they didn't send Long Xiangye back to the Xiao family's mansion, firstly, because there was no one to live there except for a few janitors, and the popularity was not prosperous, and the dinosaur Xiangye's illness worsened. Besides, the people of Daqi think that the sparsely populated house is easy to recruit spirits, and Long Xiangye is already chattering, let her recruit a few "spirits", yes, everyone don't want to live.

Second, of course, it is because there is no master to follow. I'm worried that those subordinates will disobey the yang and the yin. Refuse to serve the dragon fragrant leaves well.

Long Xiangye was very difficult to serve when she was awake, not to mention that she was crazy, and it was ten times more difficult to serve.

Third, they are also worried about being said that they are unfilial. The husband and wife enjoyed happiness in the Guogong Mansion, but they sent their sick mother to live in the previous house. Those people don't care which environment is better for dragon leaves. They only see what they want to see. And then make up some plausible reasons. Blaming others is actually standing and talking without backache.

Due to these three reasons, Xiao Shiji never mentioned sending Long Xiangye back to live in the mansion.

Now Xiao Tai and they took the initiative. And they also live in the mansion, which has a lot more people. In addition to Xiao Tai and the manpower of the second room, there are also many manpower brought by Qi Yuexian, the lord of Suiyuan County, who has already crowded the previously empty Xiao family's mansion, but there are some people who are thriving.

Xiao Shiji was a little moved, but he still firmly remembered that he couldn't assert it without permission, so he just looked at Du Hengshuang, and then said to Xiao Taiji and Long Shuzhi: "You are also reasonable. It's getting late tonight, so go back first. After two days, I will discuss with your sister-in-law before making a decision. He didn't say yes, but he didn't say he would die.

Xiao Tai and Zhilu Dao's eldest brother said this, it was a drama, and they didn't rush him at the moment, but just said: "Big brother slowly said to sister-in-law, we can wait." ”

Long Shuzhi smiled and squeezed her eyes at Du Hengshuang, "Sister-in-law, in fact, you quickly send your mother away, out of sight and out of mind, how good?" lest you listen to your mother scolding your mother every day, and it will be bad if you hurt the harmony of the two families. ”

Du Hengshuang didn't hear her bastard's words, and then said, "You guys go back first, and I'll discuss this matter with your eldest brother." ”

Xiao Tai and Long Shuzhi said goodbye and left.

After they left, Du Hengshuang discussed with Xiao Shihe, "Send the old lady to the mansion, can you put your mind at ease?" ”

Xiao Shiji frowned and said: "Anyway, he is also Taiji's mother, he won't be too much, right?" ”

Du Hengshuang thought for a while and said, "At most, I will ask for more silver in the name of the old lady, and I can't think of anything else." ”

Anyway, they separated from Xiao Taihe, and Xiao Tai and his family couldn't live in the Guogong Mansion, even under the guise of Long Xiangye.

Xiao Shiji nodded, "If they only need silver, it will be easy to do." Saying that, he glanced at Du Hengshuang, "You can close it." If they are too out of line, tell me, and I will reject them. ”

Du Hengshuang glanced at Xiao Shiji with some surprise, and couldn't help but quip: "You gave away 100,000 silver back then, and now you ......" Now he actually cares about his brother and mother.

Xiao Shiji smiled and said, "I did it at that time. If you pay back 50,000 of the 100,000 pieces of silver, I will pay you back. After a pause, he said: "But Su Su said, my silver is your silver, so even if I pay it back to you, I will use your silver to pay it back, you won't blame me, right?" ”

Du Hengshuang covered her sleeves and smiled, and said: "Su Su has a lot of crooked reasoning, you should be careful to be taken into the ditch by her." - As for the silver, a hundred thousand pieces of silver buy a lesson, and you should remember it. "She was originally a person with a lot of money, and she didn't care about the silver, and she also asked for the silver back from the Muhou Mansion at the beginning, but she didn't suffer a loss, but Xiao Shiji didn't know what to do......

The two talked and laughed for a while, and the estrangement caused by Mu Yelai at the beginning became lighter and fainter, although there was still a shallow shadow between the two, but over time, it was not impossible to completely fade.

To be a human being, you always have to look forward.

"Then in two days, I will send a letter to the second brother and ask them to pick up the old lady?" Du Hengshuang went behind the screen to change his clothes, preparing for the children to come back.

Xiao Shiji was about to speak, when Xiao Yi's voice suddenly sounded outside the door, "Grandpa Guo, Your Majesty is urgently summoned, please enter the palace quickly!" ”

Generally, when someone outside goes to the inner courtyard to find Xiao Shiji, they first pass the word to the second gate, and then the mother-in-law on the second gate goes to the inner courtyard to spread the word.

This time, it was Xiao Yi, the head of the outer courtyard, who came in person.

Xiao Shiji's face was pale. Hurriedly walked out of the hall and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Your Majesty is urgently summoned, Grandpa Xuanguo will enter the palace!" An attendant stood beside Xiao Yi with a whisk in his arms, his face full of anxiety.

"I'm going to the palace!" Xiao Shiji turned around and shouted to Du Hengshuang in the inner room, and then immediately hurriedly walked out with the waiter and Xiao Yi, "What's wrong?" ”

Since he seized the palace more than two years ago, he had never seen Emperor Yonghui so impatient.

The chamberlain hurriedly said: "When Grandpa Guo enters the palace, he will know the way, probably because of the military situation of the side plug." ”

Xiao Shiji's face was even more serious, and he didn't say a word along the way, and followed the waiter into the palace.

Xiao Yi was guarding outside the palace. Just in case. He had to send a message to Du Hengshuang as soon as possible.

Du Hengshuang heard Xiao Shiji say a word, and hurriedly put on the shawl and walked out, but he didn't even see their backs.

"What's going on?" Du Hengshuang asked lightly, standing under the corridor. Looking at the gradually yellowing sky, I was distracted.

Zhishu walked over quietly. said: "The palace attendants are also here." His face was very eager. Grandpa Guo walked all the way out, and it is said that his face is also very unsightly. ”

"Looks like something happened. What about Xiao Yi? Did you follow? Du Hengshuang calmed down and walked outside the courtyard gate.

"Go. I also brought a few retinues with me, so that I could pass the word back and forth. Zhishu said, and followed Du Hengshuang to the second door.

Du Hengshuang instructed her: "You are guarding in the inner courtyard, and the children will come back in a while, and they will have dinner, you remember to take care of them." I'm waiting in the outer courtyard, and I'm going to get the news sooner. "He refused to wait in the inner court.

Zhishu's palms were also sweaty, but seeing that Du Hengshuang was very calm, her heart slowly settled down.

"Yes, ma'am." Zhishu stopped at the second door and watched Du Hengshuang take Zhichai out of the city.

When Du Hengshuang was waiting in the outer study of the outer courtyard, Xiao Shiji had already come to the imperial study of Emperor Yonghui.

As soon as I entered, I saw that it was already full of people, even An Zichang and Xu Shao were sitting.

Xiao Shiji hurriedly saluted Emperor Yonghui, and saw his colleagues again, before asking, "What's wrong?" ”

Emperor Yonghui pointed at a lieutenant who looked like a servant, "You speak first." ”

The deputy general hurriedly said: "The last general is coming from Gyeongju, and the Turkic army has already moved south!" ”

Although the people in the study room were nervous, they were not too surprised. Because everyone has been mentally prepared for this for a long time.

However, the timing of this "big south" seems to be a month or two earlier than everyone predicted.

They thought that by the end of September, the Turks would take advantage of the situation to invade the south.

It's only mid-August, about a month and a half ahead of schedule.

"Really?" Xu Shao is the most cautious, "Is there any evidence?" ”

The deputy general's face changed, and he immediately knelt down for Emperor Yonghui, crying: "Xiazhou City has been lost!" The last general came from Gyeongju, but it was actually the defender of Haju Castle who abandoned the city and fled to Gyeongju. The Gyeongju guards are members of the Xiahou family, and the Xiazhou guards are on their way to Chang'an. Along the way, I have seen many people who fled from Xiazhou, all saying that because the defenders of Xiazhou City fled without a fight, the Turks occupied Lingzhou City almost bloodlessly, burning, killing, robbing, plundering, and almost doing all kinds of evil! ”

"What?!" Everyone was stunned. They never thought that the first stop of the Turks' southward journey would be sent out of the city in vain by the Xiazhou city guards.

Xiao Shiji, who had been a secretary of the military department for a year and a half, was already familiar with the distribution of these troops, and when he heard this, he hurriedly said: "Qi Chang, the guard general of Xiazhou City, is the nephew of Qi Xiaogong, the prince of Nanning. "That is, the people of the clan.

Emperor Yonghui's face sank like iron, and he said coldly: "Pass the decree, Qi Chang beheaded the public." Qi Chang's family, all executed, not a single one left! ”

Generally speaking, the lord who defends the city will abandon the city and flee, which will definitely affect the whole family. However, generally men are beheaded only when they are over 15 years old, and they will not be executed if they are under 15 years old. The female dependents were also sold into the workshop and used as lowly status.

However, Qi Chang is a member of the clan, and Emperor Yonghui will never kill all the men in the clan who are more than fifteen, nor can he sell all the women in the clan into the sect to be ruined. had to compromise and kill all the old and young of Qichang's family, regardless of men, women and children, which could be regarded as the first large-scale military operation in the Yonghui period of Great Qi.

At that moment, there were generals who received orders, all the way to find Qi Chang and his party who were escorted to Chang'an, all the way to Qi Chang's mansion in Chang'an, surrounded them, and immediately closed the gate of the whole mansion.

The sky had just darkened, and there were bright torches around the execution ground in Chang'an, and there were a total of 371 people in the Qichang Mansion, ranging from the old lady in her seventies to the baby who had just reached the full moon, and all of them were executed on the execution ground.

As soon as he finished killing the people in Qichang Mansion, a lightning bolt lit up in the sky, and then there was a boom, and a thunderbolt sounded, and it didn't take long for it to rain heavily, washing the execution ground clean.

From the decree of Emperor Yonghui to the completion of the execution, it took less than an hour.

In the imperial study room in the palace of Chang'an City, everyone was grim and did not say a word.

No one attempted to intercede for Qi Chang.

The lord of the city will flee without a fight, putting the people of a city under the iron hooves of the Turks, I don't know how many innocent people in Lu Dao died because of Qi Chang's cowardice, and I don't know how many old people and children were picked up by the Turks on the tip of their guns and paraded the city to show the public.

Xiao Shiji personally fought the Turks in Shuobei back then, and he knew best how cruel the Turks were, so he didn't think that Emperor Yonghui's treatment was too cruel.

In this era, families are like this, one is prosperous, one is lost, as long as they live under one roof, they need to take responsibility for each other.

Even if the family is separated, once someone in the family commits a heinous crime, all the clansmen will still be connected.

When Qi Xiaogong, the prince of Nanning, learned the news, Qi Chang's entire family had been killed. One of his wife's nieces was Qi Chang's wife, and she heard that Qi Chang had something wrong. The princess of Nanning was so frightened that she forced Qi Xiaogong to come over and intercede with Qi Chang, but Qi Xiaogong didn't even enter the palace gate, so he was sent by Emperor Yonghui to take the "whip of the king", whipped a few times on his back, and was driven home.

"Your Majesty has an order, if there is another person who intercedes for Qi Chang, there will be no forgiveness!" The shrill voice of the chamberlain echoed in the open space in front of the palace, and the people hiding in the distance shrank for a while.

In the imperial study, the huge candle with the thickness of a child's arm was lit brightly, shining as if it were day.

Emperor Yonghui stood in front of a huge map of Kanyu, pointed to the area north of Chang'an, and said: "Judging from the news brought by Deputy General Xiahou, the three states north of Chang'an - Yanzhou, Xiazhou, and Yuanzhou have all fallen, the Yanzhou defenders were defeated and captured, the Xiazhou guards abandoned the city and fled, and the Yuanzhou guards withdrew from the city with the remnants of the soldiers and horses, waiting for reinforcements to rescue, and wanted to catch the Turks off guard. ”

Xiao Shiji listened, frowned and said: "These three states and counties are not close to each other, how did the Turks manage to invade these three cities at the same time almost at the same time?" ”
