The news that Cao Chun said made Yao Lian's face brighten, this is probably the best news he has heard recently, looking at Cao Chun, Yao Lian said excitedly: "What you said is true?" ”

Cao Chun nodded with a smile and said, "It's true, Lord Yao, don't you know, listening to the news from the north gate, after this Wang Yang led the troops to go, he was surrounded by a stick of incense." didn't run out from beginning to end, but this Wang Yang took the lead when he saw that the situation was wrong, but he didn't run far before he was slashed by the general under his grandfather. ”

"Who's doing it?" Yu Shi on the side asked with some curiosity.

"It seems to be General Huang, because this Wang Yang's head is the one that General Huang himself hung on the flagpole." Cao Chun thought for a while and said.

After hearing this, Yu Shi couldn't help pouting, although his face was full of resentment, but he could see that he was a little envious of Huang Min.

Yao Lian smiled and waved his hand at this time, looked at Cao Chun and said, "In this case, let's listen to the arrangement of the Duke of Yasukuni, don't wander around the city anymore, just stay in the cellar." ”

Since there is news from Lin Yuan, I am afraid that there is something to do, and the destruction of Nanyang City is just to see if the Duke of Yasukuni has this intention, and if there is, it will not be delayed for so long.

Cao Chun nodded and said, "Lord Yao, I know, since the news has been delivered, then I will go back first, you pay attention to safety." ”

After saying that, Cao Chun retreated alone, and the Nancheng guards couldn't leave for too long, so they had to go back as soon as possible.

Seeing Cao Chun leaving, Yao Lian looked at Yu Shi, thought for a while and said: "Tomorrow we will go to the cellar early in the morning to hide, thinking that tomorrow Nanyang will be in chaos, I hope the Xue family will not do anything irrational." ”

"Don't worry, my lord's order, even if I die in the world, I will protect the safety of my lord." Yu Shi thought that Yao Lian was worried about his safety.

Yao Lian looked at Yu Shi for a moment, then shook his head and smiled without speaking, Yu Shi would be wrong, he was worried about the people of Nanyang City, what is the importance of his own safety.

Compared with Yao Lian's openness and happiness at this time, the Xue family was gloomy at this time.

From the beginning of the incident to the present, everything has deviated from the design of the beginning, and things have become a mess, and I thought that if I ascended to the top, someone would respond to me, and I thought that it would become like this.

Occupying Nanyang and becoming the king is like a farce, everyone in the world is looking at their jokes, and they will think about helping themselves get up, which is simply a loss of face.

Being blocked in this Nanyang city is difficult to move an inch, Xue Yong originally expected Wang Yang to be able to defeat the imperial army and relieve the current predicament in Nanyang, but now he still thinks too much.

"Wang Yang mistook me!"

Xue Yong had a black strip of cloth wrapped around his forehead at this time, and his face was extremely bad Leaning on the chair, his expression was full of grayness. From time to time, he patted the chair and said in annoyance.

Chen Wenjing, who was sitting on the side, looked at Xue Yong coldly, expressionless on his face, but he regretted it very much in his heart, if he knew that the Xue family was like this, it would be better to be like He Wenchang and die in this Xue family. This can also achieve a reputation for both loyalty and righteousness, why not end up like this now.

Chen Wenjing's eyes rolled, then he looked at Xue Yong and said: "King Yu, you shouldn't be so depressed right now, Lord Xue Yang Xue may have had an accident now, maybe it was the Duke of Yasukuni who was outside and didn't get the news in, you must know that Lord Xue has a talisman in his hand." ”

Chen Wenjing couldn't believe it when she said this, but helplessly, only by hooking Xue Yong's confidence in this way could she have a chance to live.

Sure enough, as soon as Chen Wenjing's voice fell, Xue Yong on the seat suddenly brightened, looked at Chen Wenjing with some excitement, and said: "Lord Chen is right, there is no news from Xue Yang's side, thinking that the news should have been stopped." ”

At this time, Xue Yong was already in a mess, and he didn't expect how many loopholes there were in what Chen Wenjing said, but although Chen Wenjing knew, he didn't say the most likely situation, that is, Xue Yang had been arrested, and maybe the capital had already been arrested.

……

Chen Wenjing rarely guessed that the matter in the capital was indeed over.

In the past three days, under the command of Xia Lindao, the first assistant, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, together with the Yamen of the Zhenfu Division, attacked everywhere in the capital and arrested many senior officials of the court.

On the three days after the emperor boycotted the dynasty, the ministers knelt at the gate of the palace for three days, during which many people were arrested. The already cloudy capital is even more depressing.

At the beginning, many officials didn't know what was going on, and they knew that Jiangxian County began to increase troops, and people realized that there was an accident in Yuzhou, and it was Nanyang.

When the news of the Xue family's incident spread, the entire capital was fried, and most of the officials arrested in the capital were promoted from Yuzhou, and many of them were cronies of the Xue family.

These officials are more or less inextricably linked to the Xue family. Among them, the biggest one who was arrested was Cui Yan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

Cui Yan looked at the sunlight projected by the window, and sighed helplessly after a while, he had been turned off and brought in for three days, in the palace, but the emperor still didn't look at himself, just under house arrest.

In the past three days, I have already thought clearly, the Xue family is in turmoil, and my Cui family has also been implicated, after all, there have been many contacts over the years, and the Xue family's rebellion is by no means an immediate decision, and I have not found out about it and reported it to the court for so many years, and no one believes it when I say it.

The chaos of the Xue family has affected the Cui family, and he is in the capital, it is inevitable that the emperor will not think about it, after this incident, if the emperor is kind and does not kill himself, the Cui family's career in the Great Zhou can be regarded as broken.

Thinking of this, Cui Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly, he was walking on thin ice as an official in the capital, why did these idiots always see the reality clearly, and they had to go up to die. It was only at this time that Cui Yan remembered what Yasukuni Gong once said in the capital: They are all a bunch of pig teammates.

"Yasukuni Gongcheng doesn't deceive me, it's really a bunch of pig teammates." Cui Yan, who didn't know much about the meaning of this sentence before, understood it completely at this time.

Yan Shixun and Xia Lindao were outside the house where Cui Yan was being held at this time. Yan Shixun glanced in through the crack in the door, and sighed helplessly, although he was an official in the same dynasty and his political views were inevitably different, but for Cui Yan, Yan Shixun still admired him a lot.

Ten years ago, in the chaos of death, he turned the tide and prevented the killing of the family and the capital, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the power of one person to turn the tide, but the emperor has become increasingly dissatisfied with the family over the years, although Cui Yan did not oppose it explicitly, but after all, it was involved, and the emperor would naturally not let go of Cui Yan when he found the opportunity.

Just when Yan Shixun was thinking about Cui Yan, there was a sudden sound of footsteps not far away, and after coming back to his senses, Yan Shixun and Xia Lindao hurriedly greeted him.

It's been three days, and the emperor finally remembered that there was still a person locked up here.
