Xiao Qi insisted on going in, but Duan Chenghu couldn't stop him, so he pushed open the door and protected Xiao Qi in front of him.

From the entrance to the blood all over the ground, the corpses in the main courtyard were strewn and scattered, their chests and necks, cut off by knife blades.

Before they died, they didn't even close their eyes.

Even in the backyard, those helpless maids and servants were not spared, and the ladies in the house, whether they were young ladies or girls who had not left the cabinet, were all disheveled, and some were not in any shape.

Their mouths were gagged and their hands were tied.

Their bodies were covered with white filth and bright red bloodstains, and one can imagine what kind of cruelty and despair they had encountered in their lives.

This is not only to destroy the door, but also to bully people's wives and daughters.

Although she usually looks down on life and death, in the face of such a tragic death, Xiao Qi's heart is full of anger.

At this time, a sharp pain suddenly burrowed into Xiao Qi's mind.

Strange but familiar scenes flashed in front of him, overlapping with the scene in front of him.

There was blood everywhere, corpses everywhere.

The family is full of young and old, and even the infant child has not been spared.

The woman in the backyard was forced* to death, and the once noble lady fell in a pool of blood and filth.

In that scene, Xiao Qi saw a familiar face.

Cheng's cousin, as well as cousin, aunt, grandmother, and aunt......

These people who had appeared in her dreams, the picture of their tragic death at this time, like a sharp blade, split her alive.

Under the severe pain, Xiao Qi lost consciousness.

Duan Chenghu was frightened and didn't know what was wrong with the princess.

He hurriedly led people away.

-

The entire family led by the Praetorian Guard Sun was destroyed, and the news spread in Beijing the next day.

The last official eunuch family who was destroyed at the feet of the Son of Heaven was the Jiang family thirty years ago.

This incident happened around me, and there was nothing that the people in the city did not mention.

A lost dagger was found at the scene of the destruction of the Sun family, and the logo on it was engraved with the logo of the Heavenly Tilt Gate.

For a while, this mysterious underground organization was mentioned, and they were all speculating about what grievances Tiantianmen had with the Sun family.

The bodies of the Sun family were taken away by Yizhuang, and the matter had not subsided, and the news of another family being wiped out came the next day.

This time it was the commander of the patrol battalion, the Li family!

These two shouldered the responsibility of guarding the capital and the imperial city, and at the same time, there was an accident, coupled with the news of the previous defeat in the northwest, and the strength of the king of Qi, everyone was panicked.

This son of heaven has average ability, and now that the court is in chaos like this, I am afraid that King Qi will take the opportunity to fight back.

At this time, the general of the Gyeonggi battalion encountered assassins and fell into the mountain col, and his life and death were unknown.

Now that all the guards and generals in Beijing have accidents, it is obvious that some people are taking advantage of the chaos to rebel.

These generals were transferred to the Ministry of War, and at the beginning of spring, the original Secretary of the Ministry of War suddenly suffered a stroke, and the squire of the Ministry of War temporarily took the position of Secretary of the Ministry of War, and selected three generals.

Some careful people found that most of these accidents were officials that Cui Yu relied on in the DPRK before.

The court is like a puzzle, and it is becoming more and more unclear to see, so they simply wait and see.

No matter who wins the world in the end, they just have to do their duty as courtiers.

However, in just a few days, the generals from the guards of the imperial city, to the patrol battalion in Beijing, and the Gyeonggi battalion outside the city were all replaced.

The newly appointed commander and commander quickly replaced the manpower with his own, and for a while, all the guards inside and outside the imperial city were greatly replaced.

Qian Ge Lao also suddenly discovered recently that His Majesty, who was unable to understand government affairs, has become more and more incomprehensible recently.

He was always able to get to the point, and all the officials he inadvertently appointed did a good job in the midst of the disfavor.

The earliest secretary of the ministry of Shangshu, in the ministry monopolized power, at this time the original left and right servants were found by him to find the wrong place to dismiss, and now the ministry has changed blood.

Qian Ge Lao suddenly realized.

Your Majesty is not stupid, but thoughtful.

Qian Ge Lao is also a person who has experienced the emperors of the three dynasties, and knows some of the past.

His Majesty hid himself so deeply at a young age, combined with Cui Yu's current expedition to the west, and the people he promoted during this period had accidents one by one or all the time, Qian Ge Lao quickly understood.

He can also be regarded as Cui Yu's regent, step by step, Qian Ge Lao felt sorry in his heart, but he had to make a choice for the sake of his family.

Qian Ge Lao drafted a resignation letter and handed it over.

Zheng Xun looked at it and didn't approve it.

Qian Ge waited for a few days, but couldn't wait for Zheng Xun's instructions, so he resigned again, only saying that he was old and unwell, and he wanted to go back to his hometown to raise him.

Two days later, Zheng Xun approved.

Zheng Xun looked at the figure of the old man of Qian Ge, and his eyes were indifferent and cold.

Back then, he was a proton in a foreign country, although everyone called him a son, but the civil and military officials in the capital, which one took him in his eyes.

Qian Ge Lao was not a Ge Lao back then, he was under the Song Ge Lao back then, at the Mid-Autumn Festival Night Banquet, he lost something in the palace, and the two princes framed him for stealing, and it was Qian Ge Lao who stood up and spoke for him, a foreign proton.

He remembers.

But he is the one who was promoted by Cui Yu, and now he has to resign, so let's live in peace.

In the future, it would be good to promote more of his children and grandchildren.

After sending Qian Ge Lao away, Zheng Xun finished handling the things at hand and looked outside.

He got up, changed his clothes, and went out of the palace.

He went straight to the Xiao Mansion, these days, Mrs. Shen's health is not good, she has been in the Xiao Mansion, he knows it in his heart.

The Son of Heaven came, and everyone in Xiao Mansion took over in fear.

Zheng Xun didn't have a shelf at all, and went to Mrs. Shen's courtyard, Mrs. Shen was in the courtyard at this time, and Xiao Qi sat next to her, telling her about the interesting things she had encountered when she went out before.

After the Sun family was wiped out, Xiao Qilingtai was greatly impacted, and she couldn't even make it condense.

She always felt like she was missing something.

She went to investigate the case of the Cheng family, and the file recorded that in the twenty-fourth year of Emperor Wenzhao, the crown prince died, and he was only a one-year-old child, still in infancy.

The crown princess is not the daughter of the Cheng family, and the Cheng family will not support a son of heaven with a strong mother and a weak son.

The queen has three princes, all of whom have mediocre qualifications, and after the death of the prince, the Cheng family intends to help the queen's second son, the fourth prince, to live in the East Palace.

However, Emperor Wenzhao preferred the second prince raised by Concubine Li Guifei's side.

The biological mother of the second prince is a woman with a humble background, but because she has been raised by Concubine Li Guifei since she was a child, she now occupies the position of the eldest son among the princes.

Since the prince has been established, he has a grandson, and he has no grandson.

There are still two princes under the queen's knees, and the second prince does not occupy the heirs, which is a great loss.

The supporters of the DPRK and China avoided the factor of being a descendant and proposed to establish a virtuous person.

These two princes cried, and Emperor Wenzhao also favored Concubine Li even more, and he had already given birth to the heart of a prince.
