Chapter 332: Chang'an Rebellion
Just a few months ago, a girl came to the Hou Mansion to ask to see Liu Feng. Originally, it was the girl who was received by Yahuan, but because the girl claimed to be Liu Feng's girlfriend, Yahuan didn't dare to make her own decisions, so she called the third lady.
The girl was very polite to the third lady, and after learning that Liu Feng was going to be a soldier, the girl didn't even ask which unit it was, and swore that she would find a way to let Liu Feng be transferred back this year.
In Uncle Hua's opinion, the girl who called herself Juan'er should be a young lady from a large family, maybe there is some ability in the family and she can mobilize the officers of a certain army at will, but Liu Feng is in a mysterious army, except for the empress and the five princes of the empire, other princes have no right to mobilize the mysterious army.
And Uncle Hua is sure that Juan'er is not the descendant of the five princes, because the five princes are famous, and Uncle Hua also knows the descendants of the five princes.
As for the empress, not to mention. Except for the town king, the head of the five princes, who is a descendant of the empress, the empress has no other descendants.
In other words, that Juan'er should not know what Liu Feng is in, so she swears unashamedly, in fact, she should not have the ability to mobilize Liu Feng back.
In the days that followed, Juan'er came a few more times, and to Uncle Hua's surprise, Juan'er still insisted that she could mobilize Liu Feng to come back.
Even according to the time Juan'er said, Liu Feng should come back in these days, so the third lady often asks Uncle Hua the same question these days.
Uncle Hua smiled bitterly, and still said respectfully to the third lady: "Last time, Miss Juan'er said that she would come over today, or wait for her to come over and ask her." ”
The third lady nodded, and whispered to herself: "Juan'er, this girl is good, her appearance, temperament and attitude are very good. ”
At this moment, a piercing bell rang throughout the Hou Mansion.
The third lady and Uncle Hua were stunned, what kind of sound is this?
Many people in the Hou Mansion didn't even know that the Hou Mansion had such a piercing bell as an emergency alarm. Because, from the establishment of the Divine Doctor Mansion to the present, this bell has only rang once.
The alarm bell has not been sounded for more than ten years, why did it suddenly ring today?
The third lady hurried to the front yard hall, and Uncle Hua followed closely behind the third lady.
In the backyard garden, they meet the equally inexplicable Mrs. Four, Mrs. Five, and Mrs. Six.
When the four of them came to the hall of the main hall, they saw the eldest lady, the second lady and the head of the Hou Mansion with a serious face, but they did not see the divine doctor Hou.
The third lady hurriedly asked, "Where is Master Hou?"
The eldest lady and the second lady glanced at the third lady and did not speak.
The third lady immediately realized that she was reckless, and the Hou family rule: when the emergency alarm sounds, it must be quiet, and others are not allowed to speak before the police speak.
In the entire Hou Mansion, there are only two people who are qualified to sound the emergency alarm, one is the Divine Doctor Hou himself, and the other is not the Hou Ye Lady who knows nothing about political affairs, but the head of the Hou Mansion who has been following the Divine Doctor Hou.
The head of the Hou Mansion glanced at Uncle Hua, who followed the four ladies into the hall, and did not stop him, but turned his head to look at the six ladies seated, and said in a deep voice: "The empress died, the king of the town rebelled, and the Hou Ye, as the leader of the royalist faction, is now fighting against the rebels in the palace. Lord Hou was afraid that the rebels would attack the Hou Mansion, so he specially ordered to inform the ladies. ”
Before the governor's words were finished, several ladies looked incredulous, suppressing the empire for thousands of years, as if the eternally young empress would die?
It feels like what the manager said is so incredible.
The fifth lady was the first to react, and asked in a deep voice, "What about the royalist faction and the rebel forces?"
The chief manager said: "The rebel faction, led by the king of Zhen, including another king of Zhennan among the five princes, as well as Luo Geng, the commander of the Chang'an Forbidden Army, and the masters of the five major sects of the ten major sects, are now besieging the palace. Royalist ......"
The chief steward paused before continuing: "The royalist faction is headed by Prime Minister Xiao Cheng and Hou Ye, including many civil officials, as well as several princes who have no real power. ”
When the chief manager just said the name of Prime Minister Xiao, several ladies looked good, because the five princes did not participate in court politics, and the empress would never deal with it personally.
However, after hearing this, the ladies all reacted, and their faces began to change greatly, Prime Minister Xiao Cheng has a high position and real power, but he is a civil official!
In other words, on the side of the royalists, they are all civilian officials, how can this be against the rebels?
Thinking about the Chang'an Forbidden Army, whose strength surpassed the various military regions of the empire, thinking about the King of Zhen and the King of Zhennan, who had a large number of troops in their hands, and thinking about the super masters of the five major sects, several ladies couldn't help but be a little flustered.
The third lady asked with concern, "What is the situation now?"
The chief manager showed a wry smile on his face: "Maybe it's because I'm worried that the empress has something to do, or maybe it's because of the perennial coercion, the rebels are just surrounding, but they don't dare to really enter the palace." Therefore, they are arresting the families of the royalists, and now Dongcheng District is in chaos, and it is said that the family members of Prime Minister Xiao have been arrested. ”
"Huh?" The ladies panicked at this time, Dongcheng District was in chaos, maybe it would be the turn of other urban districts soon, what should they do?
The sixth lady asked anxiously, "What about the other princes, what about the king of Zhenxi, and what about the prince of Zhenxi?"
The chief steward shook his head and said slowly: "The other princes are not in Chang'an City, and the prince of Zhenxi left Chang'an with the eldest lady yesterday. The rebels did not search any of the prince's mansions. ”
The sixth lady's face turned pale suddenly, even if she didn't know about political affairs, she also understood the meaning of this, how could the prince of Zhenxi leave Chang'an City because of something yesterday?
This shows that King Zhenxi knew about this matter in advance, and the response he made shows that King Zhenxi did not choose to be a royalist, at most he can only be regarded as a neutral faction.
The sixth lady's face turned pale, her lips trembled, and she said in disbelief: "They just left, why didn't Nian'er tell me?"
The Nian'er in the mouth of the sixth lady is the eldest lady of the Divine Doctor Hou Mansion, the biological daughter of the sixth lady, and Zhuge who is married to the prince of Zhenxi.
The chief manager sighed and persuaded: "According to Master Hou's guess, it is impossible for the eldest lady to know about this kind of thing in advance, and even the prince of Zhenxi should not know, they just obeyed the order of the king of Zhenxi and left Chang'an City." ”
The fifth lady stared at the chief steward and asked, "Did Master Hou say what we should do now?"
Before the chief manager could answer, there was a sudden noise outside the hall, and a guard rushed in from the outside and knelt directly on the ground: "Report, the Hou Mansion is surrounded!"
