Outside Beijing, in the mountains of Weize.

He Qiuping is looking at the Beijing defense map, today is a rare sunny day, the sun is shining, the snow turns into water, moisturizing things silently, when the spring comes, the seeds that are nourished will break through the soil, and at that time, it is a good scenery.

After a while, he put away the defense map, faced the direction of the palace and said: "I haven't been able to find Xie Yikou, and the news that the emperor is dead can't be kept hidden, what my lord means...... It's time to get your hands dirty. ”

"I can finally move, I'm getting moldy in this col." Du Ruoqiao rubbed his hands excitedly, there is a small mountain village at the foot of Weize Mountain, there are a few red plum trees in the village, I heard that they are blooming vigorously at this time. She had been looking for a chance to take a look, but she had given an order from above not to allow them to act privately, lest they reveal their whereabouts.

Du Ruoqiao thought back to the day when she stood on the mountain and looked at the red plum blossoms like fire from a distance, and she thought to herself that when the things here were done, she must have come closer to take a look. Also, I also read Shang Nanyun's share. Although she goes crazy from time to time, she should like flowers.

On that day, the 800 or so people gathered on Weize Mountain scattered and mixed into the capital city.

In the afternoon, the third prince and Mrs. Lin entered the palace with dozens of people dressed as mages on the grounds that they wanted to make the emperor's death public. They did not make a disguise, and swaggered through the palace gate, so that they would inevitably be seen along the way.

As soon as the group stepped into the palace, there were rumors that the emperor was dying, and might even have died.

The rumors reached the ears of the ministers, and although some people were ready to move and wanted to enter the palace to find out, they had also understood one thing for so long, the third prince and the Taifu were deliberately cleaning up the henchmen who did not belong to them. Now that they have entered the palace, they may have learned some news, or even ...... It is not known whether the dynasty will be changed.

It's a pity that the emperor is young but doesn't have a son and a half daughter, and the phoenix sons and grandsons who competed with him for the throne back then are even more ...... Many people thought of the bloody storm back then, and they were afraid that today's palace would be the same as it was back then, so they all made turtles with shrunken heads, ignoring the ups and downs outside.

The canopy hung low.

As soon as Wen Zhesang looked up, he saw that the gloomy clouds were piling up together, and the cold wind was blowing into people's bones, as if they were going to make a big noise. The sparse snow fell and soon died in the sky. The little kingfisher was slightly cold, lazy and dozing in the birdcage, if it weren't for Wen Zhisang knowing that the world was changing, she would have wanted to fall asleep in this isolated place.

"It's a cold day." Jiang Weixi came out of the house and went to the side room to bring a brazier, "Miss Wen, come into the house, it's very cold outside." ”

"Well, it's snowing."

In the palace, Zheng Fan led the Ouchi guards to guard in front of the palace, confronting the three princes and Taifu Yaoyao.

"The palace is important, and idlers are not allowed to enter." Zheng Fan's face was indifferent.

Mrs. Lin stepped forward and said, "The emperor has died, the country cannot be without a king for a day, and the people of the world must be informed of such important matters." General Zheng, please get out of the way, so that the old man can go to the main hall to get the emperor's secret decree. ”

Zheng Fan didn't move: "The emperor's health is fine, please go back."

Situ Taigong raised his eyebrows and said: "Xiaozi, the emperor's bones are cold, but you are staying here and occupying the palace, if you don't let it, it will be a rebellion!"

Rebellion is not something that can be said nonsense. Zheng Fan frowned and reluctantly gave in.

The third prince and the Taifu glanced at each other, and several people waved their hands to beckon the guards to protect them on the left and right, and more than a dozen mages behind them also followed.

Zheng Fan could see at a glance that those people were practitioners, and maybe they were still masters. But they insisted on entering the temple, and they had to go in but not out.

The plaque of "Zhengda Guangming" was hung high in the hall, and as soon as the guards entered the hall, they dispersed and guarded everywhere. When everyone entered, Zheng Fan raised his hand and asked people to close the door of the palace.

"What is this?" Jing Taigong frowned and asked someone to open the temple door.

Mrs. Lin said, "Okay, it's better if no one sees it." Put the secret on it. ”

The subordinates nodded, presented a brocade box and stepped on the white jade steps. It's just that he hadn't taken a few steps before he was pierced through the heart by an arrow that broke through the air.

"Protect your lordship!" The guards "hulala" guarded together, surrounding the third prince and the taifu in the middle.

"Is it General Zheng?" Old Lady Lin's gaze swept across the hall, but there was no one to see.

"Mrs. Lin guessed half right." Mu Yin's voice came from the back of the hall, and the secret room opened, revealing his slender figure.

I saw a ghost in broad daylight!

The faces of several people were ugly, they obviously saw with their own eyes that the emperor's body was being placed in the ice room, how could it be...... Appearing here?

Between the lightning and flint, Mrs. Lin thought of the cause and effect, he stared at Mu Yin fiercely, but he had to praise in his heart, "The emperor's plan is wonderful, but I don't know why the emperor is so confident, could it be that the emperor still has a backhand?" ”

Accompanying Mu Yin was also a large internal guard in Wuyang, and everyone supported him to walk up the white jade steps and sit on the golden dragon chair. He had a smile on his face and a cold tone: "What Taifu has thought, I have prepared." The Northwest Rebels, the traitors who responded outside the palace, and...... The ...... of the palace here"

The sword was unsheathed, and half of the people who were originally brought by Sangong and Taifu temporarily turned back. Originally, he was a person who caught turtles in an urn, but he didn't expect it to become a turtle.

The sparkle in Mrs. Lin's eyes was gone, and he was as depressed as an ordinary old man, "The emperor is clever and clever, and the old man admires it." ”

Mu Yin just smiled, "To be honest, if it weren't for Xie Yikou cooperating with me, I'm afraid I wouldn't have known that you were the mastermind behind it." Mrs. Lin, you have gone through two dynasties and three monarchs, I think I treat you well, and I have always treated you leniently, why do you want to seek a dynasty and usurp the throne? ”

"You are the ones who are plotting to usurp the throne!" Old Lady Lin was angry, but Sangong was silent.

"Since the beginning of his career, he has great ambitions to cultivate a Ming monarch and a virtuous saint for Jinsheng, when the emperor was stupid and incompetent, but he still has princes, and he can always cultivate a Ming Jun! But you, plotting to usurp the throne, drive them all out, the old man alone protected the seventeenth prince, but I hate him for having no ambition and giving up halfway! ”

"Jinsheng is immortal, and the country is uncertain." Mu Yin looked at him silently, "Later, you found Xie Yikou and found that he was the orphan of the Seventeenth Prince, so you made a comeback, but you didn't expect that Xie Yikou didn't have the heart to be the emperor." ”

"Yes." Mrs. Lin sighed, although the emperor is mediocre and incompetent, he still has the prince's sons and grandsons, the great royal family, and there are always people who can be the king.

When the Seventeenth Prince was there, he thought about seeking the throne for the Seventeenth Prince. It's a pity that the seventeenth prince died. Later, he knew about the existence of Xie Yikou, although he was old, but he wanted to realize the ideals of the year, he wanted a Ming Jun, a Ming Jun of the Jinsheng Dynasty - or just a king.

He looked at Mu Yin, who was also a Ming monarch, but unfortunately, it was different from the dynasty he was loyal to.

Mu Yin stood up and kicked open the brocade box that had fallen by the dead guard, "In this year's palace, the scenery is too plain. ”

Zheng Fan pushed open the door of the palace, and outside the door, there were thousands of miles of blood-stained rivers and mountains.

Outside the palace, Xie Yikou led the stolen horse and stepped leisurely across the blood.

"Thank you......" came from the corpse. Xie Yikou stopped and looked, it was actually He Qiuping.

He said kindly: "Your master is dead, fortunately, the death is not as ugly as you."

The stubborn light in He Qiuping's eyes suddenly dimmed. Xie Yikou squatted down to help him close his eyes, and the guards of the palace in the distance came out to chase him, so he turned over and rode into the dust.

In the mountain village, the scenery in the plum blossom forest is beautiful. Wen Zhesang folded two red plums, and when he looked down, he saw the blood meandering all the way. She walked around the stones, brushed aside the dead grass, and found a woman.

"Is that you, Wen Zhesan?" Du Ruoqiao was dying, "I've seen you." The palace failed, and I fled when I saw that the situation was not good, but I lost too much blood to build a monument for myself. ”

Wen Zhisang listened quietly.

"Can you bury me here?" In fact, she never wanted to be a rebel or thief, nor did she want to usurp the throne, she just wanted to find a quiet place, fall asleep quietly, and when she slept, she slept until she was still at home and her parents were still there.

No matter which dynasty rises and falls, those who suffer are just ordinary people.

In the evening of the same day, Wen Zhesang returned to Shangshu Mansion and brought back Dongyue, which was hidden elsewhere. When Wen Shangshu heard the words and came to find her, she disappeared again.

"Where's the eldest lady?" Wen Shangshu asked eagerly.

Dongyue said: "The eldest lady just left, she said, let you treat Aunt Zhuang and the little son well, just don't mention the matter of continuation, so that the first lady's contribution will not be trampled on."

"She's gone? Where did it go? She went for this? No, it's so dangerous outside, she has a daughter's family, I don't know how much she has to suffer! ”

Wen Shangshu's series of questions confused Dongyue, she said: "The eldest lady has gone back to Qingfeng County to take office!" added, "Uncle went with the eldest lady!" ”

On the cold mountain road, Xie Yikou was in high spirits, because he turned to Wen Zhesang.

"The term is in April, and we can go all the way." Wen Zhesang looked at the road map, searching for interesting places in his mind.

"That ......" Xie Yikou leaned closer to her and smelled a cold fragrance, "You really ...... Got it in mind? ”

"Think of what?" Wen Zhesang couldn't help laughing, "It's probably because during those days in the mountain village, Jiang Weixi always whispered in my ear how good and powerful you are, and I will take you absolutely safe and secure along the way." ”

Xie Yikou's heart was about to break: "It's just like this? I'm a, I'm a guard? ”

"If you don't want ......"

"Willing, willing, willing!" Xie Yikou laughed again, anyway, the days ahead will be long. Qingfeng County is very far away from Shangjing, and when Mu Yin cleans up the rebels and thieves inside and out, he will definitely chase him to Wenzhensang!

He rode his horse and whipped, but he didn't see the joy in Wen Zhesang's eyes.
