It is the festive time of the New Year, and the snow has stopped for several days, but Yancheng does not have much New Year's celebration.

On the fourth day of the first lunar month, the night was already deep.

In the Gu family's pawnshop, Gu Ping and his wife had already rested.

Gu Rong was embroidering in the house, saying that she was embroidering, but the needle and thread in her hand had not moved for a long time.

The emperor wanted Xie Junwan to marry the third prince, and detained her in Yancheng with Xie Junwan as a link, so as to restrain the Xie family, but the Xie family was reluctant to let go, and the emperor hit Xie Yi again, just marrying Princess Dongyue, which is really a bit vicious. If married, Yuan Guo and Dongyue are only peaceful on the surface, and when the war breaks out in the future, Princess Dongyue will become a tricky existence, and if the emperor makes trouble with this, blame the Xie family...... But Xie Yi insisted on not marrying, which annoyed the emperor, he simply threw the princess directly to the Xie family, if the Xie family took it, they would naturally be happy, but if the Xie family didn't accept it......

The Xie family has troops in the south, and they are very popular with the people, and the emperor is afraid that the emperor will not be able to sleep every day with such a high achievement.

The emperor is killing the Xie family!

The night had passed, the door of the Gu family was gently knocked open, and Qing'er led people to Gu Rong's house, "Miss, someone is coming." ”

Qing'er is a child of a poor family in the east of the city, there is only an old mother and a young brother left in the family, Uncle Gu saw that she was pitiful, and brought her to the Gu family to make a ring for Gu Rong.

Gu Rong put down the needle and thread and didn't look back.

There was an aggrieved cry behind him, "Sister Rong......"

Gu Rong didn't expect Xie Junwan to come, and she was quite shocked, and when she turned around at this time, she saw Xie Junwan's eyes swollen and red when she saw Xie Junwan standing at the door of the house, and she didn't know how many times she cried.

"Why is the county lord here?" The last time she said goodbye, she hadn't been to the palace for many days.

Qing'er said, "Miss, it's cold, I'll buy you some warm-ups." After saying that, he took the door and retreated.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Xie Junwan saw her, she couldn't stop her tears, and cried and cried, "Sister Rong, I can't help it, my father is sick, my mother is also sick, my brother is locked up, and the Xie family is ......."

The foundation of the Xie family is far away in the south, and the whip is beyond the reach, I am afraid that it will be too late to deploy everything to rescue Xie Yi, and the guards of Yancheng have been strengthened for no reason in the past two days, thinking that it is also to prevent the Xie family from taking action.

"This morning, Lord Jiang pleaded for the Xie family, and he was guilty of the same crime, above the court, under the imperial power, how can anyone dare to come forward...... Sister Rong, what should I do? You give me an idea......"

Gu Rong couldn't bear it when she saw her crying, but at this moment, she couldn't think of any way, she had to go back to the south to save Xie Yi.

"Now, immediately, go back to the south and find Dong ......"

Xie Junwan understood what she meant, shook her head and said, "It's too late, the execution will be carried out the day after tomorrow." ”

This night, I don't know how many people can't sleep at night, even if it is a big crime, and they are in a hurry to execute before the New Year, the emperor's intention has become more and more clear, and it has also made some officials more and more uneasy, the Xie family has a heavy responsibility, if you do it rashly, the southern border will be in dire straits. However, there are Shangguan family and Tianji Pavilion in the court, and no one dares to intercede rashly, otherwise they will end up in the same prison as Jiang Fu.

"Miss!" From a distance, she heard Qing'er calling her outside the house, Gu Rong looked at the door, Qing'er had already pushed the door in, still holding wine in her hand, she looked flustered, and said hurriedly, "The slave maid just went out to buy food at the night shop next to her, and I heard them say that King Zhan ...... King Zhan divided thirteen states, with Chuzhou as the capital, and rebelled! ”

King Zhan's real name is Gao Zhan, although the surname is Gao, but he is not a member of the royal family, his ancestors have made military exploits, canonized land, the throne is hereditary, and the Gao family has a special order, so he rarely returns to Yancheng on weekdays.

"What!" Xie Junwan was so frightened that she even stopped crying.

Gu Rong knew that the opportunity to save Xie Yi had come.

This night is destined to be not peaceful, and someone hurriedly enters the night.

That night, all the guards were quietly replaced, and the emperor said that he was sick in the palace and had not been in court for two days.

The killing came suddenly.

Before dawn on the fifth day of the first month, the Min family controlled the main roads in the palace with 30,000 forbidden troops, and no one was allowed to enter or leave, pointing at the throne.

The guards of Yancheng City Gate were broken, the princess of Dongyue Kingdom led troops to raid, and the people of Yancheng fled in the wilderness, and the corpses were everywhere. It was originally a prosperous imperial capital, and the half-day scene has become hell.

It was not only Aunt Gu Ping who packed up his things overnight, but also Xie Changfang's family, under the escort of the six members of the Xie family, took the path in disguise and quietly rushed back to the south.

Most of the troops in the prison have been transferred.

In the distance, a group of forbidden soldiers came to meet them, counting eight people, led by a man with a rough face, "The Holy Lord has an order to retry and thank you." ”

"Where is the Divine Decree?"

"This is a verbal message!"

"The villain has been guarding the prison for more than 20 years, and the officials in the palace have also seen a lot, I don't know which team the brothers belong to, and they look a little faceless."

The man didn't expect him to ask this question, and he was speechless for a while, and someone behind him had already replied for him, "We are the first team of the Zhengbei team, and General Guo is under the army." ”

"It turned out to be due north, I'm sorry, I waited for the death order, unless the holy decree came, no one can be interrogated to thank you."

Where is Dongfeng willing to listen to his nonsense, he has already drawn the knife, the knife rises and falls, and two people's lives are killed in an instant.

Gao Zhan mutinied in other places, and now the Min family colluded with Dongyue State, Yancheng fell, and now all the troops have been concentrated to quell the rebellion, and the prison that has always been heavily guarded has become a weak place.

Robbing the prison is the best of these strategies.

The people selected by Xie Junwan are all the best people who follow Yancheng, and there is no weak one under his hands, all the way to the prison, and the road where the eight people have arrived is already a horizontal corpse.

The burly man slashed open the cell door with a knife.

"Shizi, let's go!"

At the beginning of the nineteenth year of the calendar year, the prince Gao Zhan with a different surname took the state as the capital, divided the thirteen state capitals to rebel, called the Xiyuan Kingdom, and supported 400,000 soldiers.

In the small pavilion outside Yancheng City, Gu Rong was dressed in simple clothes, and she was the only one outside the pavilion, and there was still half an hour left for the agreed time with Xie Junwan.

In the distance, I heard the sound of trumpets and war drums in the city.

The avenue has been deserted because of the war, and the pedestrians who met the fleeing on the road could not hide the suffering of this sudden war, everyone's face was full of panic, Yancheng was prosperous like a dream yesterday, before, the war was too far away for them, but overnight, they had become refugees.

I don't know Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu, where are you now?

Gu Rong had no intention of waiting, so she left a note prepared in advance, pressed the stones, turned over and got on her horse, and went south to chase her relatives.

Just a moment after she left, Xie Junwan and his party had already arrived, Xie Junwan's eyes were sharp, and the note blowing in the wind had been seen by her.

"Don't ......read it if you're gone," Xie Junwan handed the note to Dongfeng on the side, "People are gone......"

Dongfeng swept a glance, and many years of habit made him destroy the letters after reading them, and he was about to burn them, when the man on the horse had already spoken, "Dongfeng ......"

Dongfeng wondered, is there any mystery in a note, he handed the note over.

Xie Yi took it, but his gaze gradually became strange, and after a while, he asked, "Jun Wan, what is the name of the girl who gave you ideas?" ”

Xie Junwan is usually the most in awe of thanks, how dare she hide it, and has already replied, "Gu Rong." ”

As soon as the words came out, she was suddenly taken aback, and her mind was full of thoughts, "Gu Rong...... Gu Rong ......" she suddenly remembered the letters she had secretly seen in her brother's study in the past, "Yes...... It's that Gu Rong! "Otherwise, how could my brother ......

He looked down at the note, the pen was vigorous, with a subtlety, although the words looked delicate, but the dragon flew and the phoenix danced, "The handwriting is the same." "I think it's her.

Xie Junwan was so shocked that she didn't know what to say, Gu Rong turned out to be her sister-in-law, was God intentional?

On the tenth day of the first month of the nineteenth year of the calendar year, the Yuan country was divided into two, and the hundred-year empire was divided from then on. Gao Guang called the Northern Yuan Kingdom, the eleventh day of the first month, the Min family was beheaded by the whole door, the three princes were given to death, the fourteenth day of the first month, Gao Yuan died, passed on the crown prince Gao Jian, moved the capital to Luancheng, and the year was called Qing.

This change is known as the Yandu Rebellion in history.
