Chapter 10: The Dust Settles

"Prime Minister don't be smart, confused for a while, the Helian clan is no longer the Helian clan of the past, after the city is broken, he will not forgive the emperor and the families in the city, he wants to stand up to deter the world, he will definitely take people to open the knife, why do we go to that step, as long as the emperor says to leave, then we can all follow and move south."

"Guogong doesn't need to say much, my Gu family has never abandoned the city and fled." Gu Fengmao's righteous words.

I have to say that Gu Fengmao still seems to have a bit of backbone in this regard.

But what I said to the eldest lady Wang at night was not the same thing.

"Husband, you are confused! Guogong and you are also close friends, he suggested this because he didn't want the Gu family to be harmed by the Helian clan, even if you don't care about your own life and death, I can follow my husband, but what about the children? Could it be that the centuries-old inheritance of the Gu family has never been broken in our hands? And the children at the bottom, do you want to accompany us to death? ”

After Gu Fengmao listened, he felt that his head was as big as a fight, and he was embarrassed on both sides.

After a night of ideological struggle, Gu Fengmao and his wife Wang finally figured out a way to get the best of both worlds. The Gu family must not be cut off in this national disaster like this.

Gu Fengmao planned to send all the concubines and children to the branch of the Gu family in Wancheng overnight, escorted by the eldest son and second son, Gu Ziqian Gu Bohou, all the way, while Gu Fengmao and his wife Wang stayed in Jiankang and guarded the Gu family's century-old family house to share weal and woe.

In this way, it is to go down to the underworld, and it can be regarded as an explanation to the ancestors of the Gu family.

Gu Banqin and her brothers and sisters hurriedly put away the fine softness and prepared to run away.

Gu Banqin and Aunt Duan sat in the last carriage used to escape, this carriage was a simple and extremely simple canopy carriage used by ordinary people to travel in order to disguise, the space in the car was small, and only two or three people could sit down, except for the two positions where Gu Banqin and Aunt Duan were sitting, all the other places were full of all kinds of luggage.

The carriage was drawn by a thin horse, and after a rather luxurious carriage in front of it, the horseshoe titata tita went out of the city.

Gu Banqin lay on the edge of the window supported by the carriage and looked out, and everywhere she looked, there were fleeing people.

One by one, they were carrying burdens or riding ox carts, and they were in a hurry.

Most of the people who take the carriage out of the city are rich and noble families in Jiankang City, probably now the shops in the city have been closed eight or nine times out of ten, as the national capital of the northern country, the once prosperous and noisy health city, even if it has not been destroyed by the war, the houses on both sides of the street are still towering, but it is no longer prosperous and lively in the past.

Under the war, the people were panicked, abandoned the city with their families, and moved south for refuge, which is probably the case.

Wupeng's carriage was running fast, seeing that it was about to reach the city gate, Duan didn't want to make any mistakes at this juncture, so he stretched out his hand and pulled Gu Banqin back into the car and lowered the window.

When the carriage passed by the city gate guards, Gu Banqin vaguely heard the other party say, today is the last day the city gate is opened, and from tomorrow, Jiankang will close the city, and he can't get out or enter.

Gu Banqin thought about it, no wonder the scene of people going out of the city today was even worse than a few days ago, it turned out that it was because today was the last chance to escape from the city.

Out of the city gate, the carriage procession of the valley mansion suddenly accelerated, slipped on the pipe, and galloped south.

There are many refugees on the official road, and there are many carriages, most of them are fleeing for their lives, and from time to time there are officers and soldiers, the hooves of the horses are raised, and the people on the horses are shouting loudly, galloping away.

Pedestrians on the official road would automatically retreat to the sides and give way whenever they encountered a procession of horses galloping, fearing casualties if they did not do so.

Gu Banqin looked at such a scene, and sighed in her heart, when she first arrived in this world, she guessed from people's clues that the northern kingdom was about to run out, but she didn't expect the defeat of the northern kingdom to be so fast, and such a dramatization was really unforeseeable.

Looking at the smoke and dust raised in the distance, from today onwards, the Gu family and his party have become people who have lost their country one by one.

It took Gu Banqin and the others almost half a month to reach the Wancheng branch of the Gu family.

And this stay is two years.

Two years later, the news of the broken city finally came from Jiankang, far away in the north.

Standing in the courtyard, Gu Banqin looked at the north from afar, thinking to himself, so far the northern country is completely called history, and in exchange for the Helian clan ruling the world, the new country is the first to be established, and the world is initially decided.

Helian Hongyi led his troops to enter through the Nanding Gate, but in just a few days, the Helian Iron Army completely occupied the inside and outside of Jiankang, and the black flag of Helian's Xuantie completely replaced the Ming and Huang Xuanqi of the northern country and was inserted on the head of the imperial city.

A generation of mediocre Emperor Wen Guang was captured and became a prisoner of the Helian family.

Soon came the news that Emperor Wen Guang took the initiative to write a letter to the world, the edict of the Zen Helian clan, this civil war lasted a total of five years and eight months, the northern kingdom was destroyed, the dynasty was changed, and the Great Qi was established!

Helian Bai, the son of the Helian clan, sat on the supreme dragon chair and ascended the throne as the emperor according to his outstanding military exploits and high prestige, and the country was called Yongyuan, and his five sons were canonized as kings, and the eldest son Helian Hongyi was the crown prince.

A cadre of the Gu family, the prime minister of the old dynasty, was reunited with the new capital in the ninth month of the Yongyuan period of the new calendar after the news of Gu Fengmao.

After the establishment of the Great Qi, Helian Bai ruled the country with a brush, and the new emperor did not embarrass the Zhao clan of the northern country who took the initiative to surrender to the Zen throne, but only named the original Emperor Guang as the king of An, treated him with courtesy, and gave the residence and title of the king of An.

The Zhao family moved out of the palace and moved into Ping'an Lane in the south of the city, and some officials of the former northern kingdom were not affected, but were only suspended from their official positions for follow-up investigation.

Gu Fengmao was also among them, he also smartly went to the book, took the initiative to resign, resigned as the prime minister of the northern country, and was idle at home.

These days, he does what he should do at his age, he grows flowers and plants when he has nothing to do, raises fish and shrimp, and teaches his children when he is happy, and enjoys himself.

When Gu Banqin saw his merry father again, she was already a big girl who was almost sixteen years old, Gu Nianshu was eighteen, Gu Xiuxian was seventeen, and the youngest Gu Anxiu was also thirteen.

Time flies, Gu Fengmao and the eldest lady Wang can't withstand the pig-killing knife of the years, both of them look old and haggard, but they are forced to move south, and the cadres who live in Anhui City have a lot of pearls and jade.

After two years, the Gu family has been separated, and now that the family is reunited, it is naturally indispensable to ask for warmth and warmth.

The aunts who left Gu Fengmao did everything they could to please Gu Fengmao, and now it's okay, Gu Fengmao, who has always been romantic, suddenly turned on the meat, and the spirit he raised a few days ago disappeared without a trace.

lingered in the rooms of various concubines for a few days, and when he walked in the past, Gu Banqin's merry father's legs were soft.

Gu Fengmao is enjoying the joy of humanity here, while the life of others is not very good.
