Chapter 4, The Destruction of the Herlan Family (2)
Xu Ying has done his best to bring down the Helan family, this time he has finally come to this point, and he will never give up if he doesn't kill the Helan family!
I think that he was an official in the same dynasty as Helan Che, just because Helan Che recovered Xihai City and surrendered to the Yan country, he was first given the title of Marquis of Zhenguo by the first emperor, and then married the princess of the Yan country, the eldest daughter Crown Princess, after the crown prince ascended the throne, he was directly canonized as the queen, and the second daughter Zhennan Wang Princess. The eldest son married the princess of the Yan family, and the younger son married the sister-in-law of the current emperor, Princess Huiren!
is also a person who followed the emperor to fight the world, but he is inferior to him everywhere!
I've been a prime minister for half my life, and I haven't even been mixed with a marquis!
Not to mention being pressed by Helanche everywhere, his eldest daughter was also suppressed by Helanche's daughter in the harem, can he not be angry?
Until last year's emperor's draft, he sent his smart and clever little daughter to the palace, because she was young and beautiful, and finally captured the emperor's heart.
and secretly separated the relationship between the emperor and the queen, making Queen Helanxue slowly fall out of favor in front of the emperor.
And he himself took advantage of the emperor's desire to covet the vast territory of the Yan clan and wanted to take the Yan clan as his own, and presented the twists and turns of war with the Yan clan several times in the court, so that the emperor was happy. He also began to be impressed!
Helplessly, Helanche, as the marquis stationed in the Western Regions, refused to send troops to attack the Yan country on the grounds that the people in the frontier had been displaced due to years of war, and the people were not able to live in poverty, and it was not suitable to start another war!
This made the emperor, who had already sat firmly in the country, very dissatisfied, and he couldn't ignore the current situation, if Helan Che refused to send troops, he couldn't assign other generals to start a war with the Yan country!
In addition, half of the generals of the dynasty have a close relationship with Helanche, even if the emperor wants to find someone to replace Helanche to send troops to attack the Yanshi country, but because Helanche's Hou Mansion is built in Xihai City, separated by a river from the Yanshi country, and Helanche's wife and eldest daughter-in-law are both princesses of the Yanshi country, he is afraid that if he insists on going his own way and insists on sending troops to attack the Yanshi country, Helanche will get in the way, so the emperor has to postpone the war against the Yan country!
Until Xu Yingcheng gave the emperor an idea, let the Yan family pay more tribute to them, and if they don't give it, they will fight! As long as they are angry, maybe the Yan clan will take the initiative to ask for war, and then Helan Che will not be able to go to war even if he is unwilling to go to war!
In case the country does not fight, we can also weaken the power of Helanche first, and then cultivate our generals who are loyal to the emperor, even if Helanche does not send troops, the emperor can also let other generals go out to attack the country!
It's just that I didn't expect that the Yan country seems to have completely surrendered to the majesty of the dynasty in the past two years, no matter how they open their mouths, the tribute of the Yan country will be handed over, so that the emperor has no excuse to start a war against them!
Then there is only one plan left, destroy Herlan Che, and then find an opportunity to go to war!
According to Xu Yingcheng's strategy, the emperor first transferred the eldest princess Huiren and Helan Xuanyu to the imperial city, and then withdrew Helanche's military power in the name of Helanche's fornication with foreign enemies.
Even if there is no evidence for the crime convicted by the emperor, no one dares to raise objections from the Chinese military officials, because Helanche's wife and daughter-in-law are all from the Yan clan, and on this basis alone, no one dares to tell the emperor that Helanche has nothing to do with the Yan clan!
After receiving his father's secret report, Wei Qinian hurriedly dealt with the affairs of Xihai City, and was about to send someone to secretly protect Helan Che and Helan Xuande, who were escorted back to the dynasty, when he received news from his father again, Xu Yingcheng reported to the emperor, saying that Helan Che and his son tried to escape on the way to the escort, and had been killed by the accompanying guards who escorted them!
Wei Ying said that he had already sent someone to the place of the accident to search for the bodies of Helan Che's father and son, and he asked Wei Qinian to personally deal with their funeral! To comfort the souls of the martyrs!
When Wei Qinian arrived there, his father's deputy general had already found out the location of the accident, but Xu Yingcheng had already ordered someone to dispose of the bodies of Helanche and his son, and he searched for several days before he found the bodies of Helanche and his son who were shot by random arrows under a cliff!
In addition to grief, he and the soldiers found a secluded place to bury the remains of Herlanche and his son, and did not set up a tombstone, but only made a mark before leaving!
Because he knew that he couldn't delay for too long, because Old Man Han still had a few flesh and blood of the Helan family there!
How to send them out of the city safely and let them live safely is the most important thing at present!
The emperor drew a successful end to this extermination operation on the grounds that Helanche's conspiracy was exposed, he was ashamed to face the saint, and tried to escape halfway, but was killed by the guards!
It's a pity that the Helan family has been loyal for several generations, and the ending is so miserable, which makes many old ministers in the court sigh!
Only Xu Yingcheng was given the title of official and knighted by the emperor in the name of exterminating the traitors, and he got what he wanted!
Wei Qinian returned to Xihai City to rectify and then return to Helan Mountain, because Helanqin had two children, and it was inconvenient to go with the army, and Old Man Han said that he would find a way to send them outside the city and then join Wei Qinian!
The defenders who had no choice but to guard the city gate were particularly strict with the children and women who went out of the city, even if the old man Han had dressed Helan Qin and Helan Wanyue as men, saying that he was going to take his grandson and servants to the temple outside the city to make incense and make a wish, the soldiers guarding the city still did not let them go, saying that there was an order from the capital to protect the government, and children and women were not allowed to go out of the city, for any reason, no one could!
Old Man Han secretly stuffed a silver ingot into the guard who stopped them, but the guard was so frightened that he hurriedly shrank back, and said in a panic, "Old man, it's not that we are not accommodating, but there is an order from above, all the defenders who let women and children out of the city without permission will be killed!" Didn't you hear that two days ago, someone released a funeral procession out of the city, and because there were children inside, they were killed on the spot by the overseers from the imperial city! I don't dare let you out! Old man Han, go back, and take your grandson out of the city next time to make a wish! The defenders finished and looked around.
I really didn't expect Xu Yingcheng to be so insidious, just because he didn't determine the identity of the child and Helanqin, he would give such an order!
It seems that he has to cut down the Helan family this time, and he won't even leave a chance!
Old Man Han was so anxious that he sweated out, because Wei Qinian's army had been out of the city for half a day, if he couldn't send them out now, I am afraid it would be difficult to meet Wei Qinian at the appointed time!
"My lord, Old Man Han wants to take his subordinates and grandson out of the city to go to the temple to make a vow, but the last general will not dare to let them out of the city, Old Man Han, tell the adults yourself!" The soldier guarding the gate suddenly said something to a general who came over.
Old Man Han looked back and chuckled in his heart, because the general who came over was not the guard of Xihai City at first glance, could it be the overseer left by Xu Yingcheng?
"Going out of the city to make a wish? In a few days, no one will be allowed to take children under the age of 10 out of the city! The Overseer finished and looked at the servants and the two boys in the carriage!
Helanqin was a little nervous and hid behind Old Man Han, and the two children also seemed to be very nervous, sitting in the carriage and not daring to move.
"It's all because the old man is lonely and unheard, and he doesn't know that children can't go out of the city, so the old man will go back immediately, and I'll talk about it later." Old Man Han knew that he couldn't stay here anymore, because there were too many people coming and going at the gate, and he couldn't let Helanqin and the children stay here for a long time!
"Going out of the city to make a wish? Is there something going on at home? The Overseer's gaze lingered on Herangen's body for a moment, and then he asked.
"Lord Qiyu, my daughter-in-law has a strange disease, and the treatment is ineffective, so I invited a high monk to be optimistic, so the old man wants to take his grandson out of the city to the temple to burn incense for their mother and make a wish......"
"Really? Then go out of town! Filial piety comes first, and it is the right thing to let them burn incense for their mothers and relatives. Let them out of town! The Overseer stepped aside.
Before Old Man Han understood what was going on, he saw the city gate being opened, and in a trance, he saw that the Overseer seemed to glance at him, "Old man hurry up, if you don't leave, it's getting late, and it's too late to return to the city!" ”
Old Man Han immediately thanked him, and hurriedly ordered his family to drive the carriage out of the city!
