The Chinese New Year's Eve at Huangfu Wujin's house was lively and warm, early in the morning, Huangfu Wujin personally went to Bixian Palace and took his grandmother to his mansion, which was also the first time Ye Yunqing spent Chinese New Year's Eve with his family in decades, making this old man who had been lonely for decades feel warm and happy.

The one who spent Chinese New Year's Eve together was the princess of the former Lanling County King, she was not the original match of the Lanling County King, and she had no children and no daughters, only one brother, and Huangfu Wujin also regarded her as his grandmother.

The only son of the king of Lanling County, Huangfu Zhuo, and his grandson Huangfu Wuzhi are currently in Jincheng County, Longyou, although he completely failed in the battle for military power, but Zhang Chongjun saw that he was the only bloodline in Huangfu Xinjiang, spared his life, Huangfu Zhuo did not dare to go back to Luojing and did not dare to go to Yongjing, he had a house and land in Jincheng County, Longyou, so he took his wife and children to hide in Jincheng County.

The palace of Huangfu Wujin is already full of lights at this time, the night is falling, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is about to begin, a red lantern is lit, the hall and back hall of the mansion are illuminated as day, the sister-in-law Qi Xinlan and a pair of nephews and nieces also live here, Luo Luo and Duoduo's cleverness and liveliness bring life to the entire mansion, they are the happiest children on Chinese New Year's Eve.

Dressed in new clothes and holding the New Year's red envelopes given to them by their great-grandmother and a few aunts, they were hiding in their small rooms to take stock of their harvest.

"Luo Luo, Duoduo!"

Their mother's shouts came from the yard, and the two children were so frightened that they hurriedly hid the money and ran out of the room with a weak heart, "Mother, we are here!" ”

Qi Xinlan smiled and beckoned to a pair of children, "Come with my mother, my grandmother is looking for you!" ”

Luo Luo and Duoduo held their mother's hand, raised their little faces and asked, "Mother, what's the matter!" ”

Qi Xinlan said softly to the two of them: "Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and your grandfather and great-grandfather are being sacrificed in the family ancestral hall. ”

"Mother, is it the same as last year?"

"By the way, it's the same as last year."

Qi Xinlan took a pair of children and walked quickly to the backyard.

The ancestral hall in the backyard has been renovated, in addition to the ancestral hall to worship the spirit of the old Liang King and the king of Lanling County, this year the spirit of the Jin'an Emperor and the Tianfeng Prince has been added.

Huangfu Weiming has been knighted as the Duke of Wu, because he is a new official who took up the post of Donghai County Assassin Shi, and there are many affairs, he has to rush back to Donghai County, can not sacrifice on Chinese New Year's Eve, he can only sacrifice his father and grandfather alone in Donghai County.

The sacrifice has begun, Huangfu Wujin is dressed in a black sacrificial robe and a sacrificial hat, he holds up three incense sticks high, kneels in front of the spiritual seat, silently prays for the ancestors in the heavens, inserts the incense into the incense burner, and bows down to the spirit card three times.

He stood up and helped his grandmother up again, Ye Yunqing smiled and said: "Good boy, grandmother's arms and legs are no longer good, she swept the ground yesterday, and she only swept it once, and she couldn't support it." ”

Wu Jin helped his grandmother sit down and said with a smile: "I will help my grandmother sweep in the future." ”

Ye Yunqing smiled and waved his hand, "No need, I made a wish for forty years, and it has already arrived, and Han'er will accompany me to Tianji Temple to make a vow, so I don't need to sweep it in the future." ”

Ye Yunqing smiled at Su Han and the others: "Let's take turns to incense!" After the incense, we can have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. ”

Su Han handed the child in his hand to the nurse, knelt down with three sticks of incense in his hand, Huangfu Wujin picked up his two sons who were less than a year old, he looked at the spiritual position, and smiled at them: "You are still young this year, Daddy burned incense for you, you have to kowtow yourself next year, understand?" ”

The two children still can't speak, Yiyi screams for their mother, Huangfu Wujin handed the child to their nurse, and walked in front of Qi Fengwu, she has been pregnant for nearly nine months, and her lower abdomen has fallen, which is a harbinger of imminent childbirth.

Huangfu Wujin held her and whispered with concern: "Are you okay?" ”

Feng Wu smiled, "It's okay, it's okay to slow down, Jing Niang will help me later, by the way, it seems that someone was looking for you just now." ”

Huangfu Wujin was stunned, looked outside the ancestral hall, and saw that the sister-in-law was leading Luo Luo and Duoduo in, and behind them, the housekeeper was waving to him.

Su Han had already finished the incense, she walked to Huangfu Wujin's side and said with a smile: "Husband, there may be something important, you go first!" I'll take care of it in the ancestral hall. ”

The sacrifices are generally presided over by the male clansmen, but there are really few men in the Huangfu Wujin family, so they can only be presided over by the daughter-in-law, he nodded gratefully to his wife, and walked out of the ancestral hall quickly, "What's the matter?" ”

The old housekeeper hurriedly said: "Master, Mr. Gao said that something important happened in Yongjing, and I must come to call you, otherwise I won't disturb the master during the sacrifice." ”

"Where are the others?"

"Wait in the master's study."

Huangfu Wujin has also been paying attention to the Yongjing incident in the past few days, he has received information that a large number of royal Zhuang Ding have entered Beijing, and a coup is about to happen, he has probably guessed a clue, and it is estimated that a coup has occurred.

He hurried back to the ancestral hall, bowed apologetically to his grandmother, and said, "Grandmother, there is an urgent matter outside, and my grandson can't accompany my grandmother." ”

Ye Yunqing was holding Luo Luo and Duoduo in her arms, she nodded and smiled: "Since you are my grandson, you should focus on state affairs, you go and get busy!" With so many granddaughters-in-law with me, a group of us women would be a little happier without you. ”

Luo Luo raised his little face and said, "Great grandmother, I'm not a woman. ”

Everyone laughed, and Huangfu Wujin touched his little brain and smiled: "Then you should honor your great-grandmother, make your great-grandmother happy, and your uncle will give you a pony after the New Year." ”

Luo Luo's eyes lit up, and he pulled his uncle to jump straight like a monkey, and everyone laughed a few more words, and Huangfu Wujin rushed back to the outer study.

In the outer study, the staff Gao Gao was sitting in the study drinking tea and waiting, he had just received a pigeon letter from Yongjing, which made him very excited, the opportunity had gradually come, it was up to them to see if they could seize it.

Footsteps sounded outside the door, and Huangfu Wujin walked in, and Gao Gao hurriedly stepped forward and bowed and said, "Your Highness, Yongjing has urgent information." ”

Huangfu Wujin pointed to the chair, "Let's sit down and say!" ”

The two sat down and said excitedly: "I just received information from Yongjing, Huang Fu Tian was about to launch a palace coup, but he was preempted by the Empress Dowager Shen, Huang Fu Tian was imprisoned, his two masters were beheaded by the whole family, more than 100 royal families were killed, Uncle Shen was also forced to leave Yongjing, I heard that many ministers also left with him." ”

Huangfu Wujin nodded, Empress Dowager Shen took the lead in his expectations, with the assistance of his own intelligence structure, and Bai Mingkai's internal response, the Yongjing royal family made such a big noise, how could Empress Dowager Shen not know, but he was more concerned about the fate of the royal family.

"And what about the rest of the royal family? Is it mentioned in the intelligence? ”

Gao Gao handed a roll of pigeon letters to Huangfu Wujin, and said: "As mentioned, Empress Dowager Shen has gathered all the royal family and their families, probably preparing to deal with it." ”

Huangfu Wujin took the pigeon letter, read it carefully, he paced back and forth in the study with his hands behind his back, pondered for a long time, he was deducing the next development of the situation, for a moment, he suddenly turned back and asked: "Sir, do you think that Shen Ji will be watching from the side?" ”

"Never!"

Gao Gao also thought about this matter repeatedly, "First of all, Empress Dowager Shen does not have many troops in the capital, she only has 10,000 dragon warriors and 5,000 embroidered guards, now since she has succeeded in opposing the palace, it means that she has 10,000 Yulin troops in her hands, so she has 25,000 people, but she thinks that she should be very nervous before the palace change, if she can't pinch the Yulin army, then she is 15,000 people against 30,000 people, including the private soldiers of the royal family, she will definitely urgently ask Shen Ji for help, then Shen Ji should be on the way back to the capital now, It is very likely that he has already led his army back to the capital. ”

Huangfu Wujin nodded slightly, he also thought so, Shen Ji would never stay out of the matter, "If that's the case, what do you say Shen Ji will do to the royal family once he controls the capital?" Will they be courteous? Will I still take the opportunity to ......."

Gao Gao understood the meaning of Huangfu Wujin, and he was also secretly frightened, with what Shen Ji had always done, if Shen Ji controlled the capital, the royal family would definitely face a catastrophe.

"Your Royal Highness, I estimate that the situation of the royal family is not good, the key depends on whether the Queen Mother can keep them, if not, they will definitely be a catastrophe, only by killing the royal family, Shenji can have the possibility of ascending the throne, I think, he will never let go of this opportunity."

"This is what I hope for, if Shenji kills all the royal family, then I will be able to gain a political advantage, and the royal family of Luojing will be grateful to me, even though I have taken their land."

Huangfu Wujin smiled slightly, "It seems that I'm going to do the opposite." ”

He immediately made up his mind, "I'm going to go to Huangfu Renjie's mansion now and discuss with him about sacrificing to the Taimiao." ”

Huangfu Renjie is the former Zongzheng Siqing, is the person of Huangfu Heng, after the confrontation between the two capitals, he returned to Luojing to serve as the Zongzheng Siqing, escaped from Luojing when Huangfu Heng was defeated, went to Chuzhou, was named the king of Jinling County by the Empress Dowager, and now serves as Zongzheng Siqing.

．．．．．．．． On the afternoon of the first day of the first lunar month, the news that Shenji had killed all the Yongjing royal family in Xinfeng County also reached Luojing, which caused an uproar in the Luojing government and the opposition, and made the more than 100 royal families in Luojing extremely shocked, and at the same time made them secretly glad that although they lost their land, they held on to their property and kept their lives.

Originally, many royal families were still preparing to move to Yongjing with resentment, but there was a war in Tongguan, blocking their footsteps, and they were ready to wait for the war to subside a little before it passed, but at this time, they could only use a lucky to describe their failure to make the trip, so that they escaped the bad luck of becoming a ghost under the knife.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, in the temple of the Luojing Imperial Palace, Zongzheng Temple held a grand ancestor worship ceremony, in the one hundred and twenty-eight royal families in Luojing, as well as their adult sons, a total of more than 500 people, all participated in this ancestor worship, no one forced them, but this is a matter of everyone's vital interests, almost all the royal families consciously participated in this ancestor worship.

They hoped that Huangfu Wujin would consider their interests in front of the ancestors.

This grand Luojing royal family ancestor worship was held when the Yongjing royal family was slaughtered, which was particularly eye-catching.

"Dang!"

The purple bell of the Taimiao struck the crisp bell throughout the Taimiao Square, Huangfu Wujin was dressed in the regent's purple robe, wearing the crown of the three sages, behind him, more than 500 royal family followed the high cheers of the master of ceremonies and bowed down at the same time.

Around the royal family, hundreds of eunuchs were slowly entering the temple with various sacrificial vessels and offerings in their hands.

After the three bows, Emperor Fu Renjie of Zongzheng Temple shouted loudly: "Line up, enter the Taimiao Festival!" ”

The children of the royal family began to line up into the main hall of the Taimiao, and in the middle of the main hall was the bronze statue of the founding ancestor Huangfu, and on the rows of offering tables, densely filled with the spirit cards of the first emperors.

At the bottom, there are the spiritual seats of Emperor Jin'an, Emperor Yong'an, Emperor Mingde Emperor Fu Tianfeng, Emperor Daizong Emperor Fu Xuande, and Emperor Xizong Emperor Fu Heng.

The royal family silently watched as the five spirit positions were placed together, and an indescribably complicated taste welled up in everyone's hearts.
