Chapter 400: Riots in the capital

In May, the people of the capital rushed to the general's mansion to congratulate them.

Whether it is to sincerely congratulate the Tang family on their double happiness, or to join in the fun and take red envelopes, it has added a lot of popularity to the happy events of the Tang Mansion.

Today is Mrs. Tang's birthday, the emperor and queen came to pay their respects in person, as the grandson of the prince Zhou Fengzi also came with his wife and children, as for the dignitaries and nobles in the capital and their families, they all dressed up to attend, and many people came with a relationship, just to be happy.

Of course, the guests were more concerned about wanting to tie up with the Tang family and further get involved with the prince.

For these people with other intentions, everyone is tacit, after all, life in the world is the master of the high and low, the Tang family is now not only the national abbot's mansion, but also the prince's maternal grandfather's family, and it is really the first in the dynasty except for the royal family and the Rui Wangfu.

And today is not only the birthday of the old lady of the Tang family, but also the day when Tang Tang, the only eldest lady of the Tang family, got married, although Tang Tang married a southern businessman made many people puzzled, but the emperor later attended the birthday banquet, and the prince presided over the marriage for Tang Tang, this honor is also rare, it can be seen that even if Tang Tang marries low, it will not affect her status in the Tang family, and the future emperor can speak.

Therefore, many people who are not qualified to pay birthday to the old lady in person, and who have no chance to make friends with the Tang family's housewife, have come to add makeup to Tang Tang, thinking of getting closer to Tang Tang, and having the opportunity to have a relationship with the Tang family or even the royal family in the future.

The groom picked up the bride, and Mrs. Tang, who had just finished wiping her tears, was busy putting on a smiling face and talking about the birthday banquet.

Whether it is to welcome guests or to receive the emperor and queen, it is extremely regulated, especially with so many guests today, Mrs. Tang does not allow herself to make any mistakes, and the Tang family cannot afford to lose this person.

On the way to the backyard to pay homage to Mrs. Tang, Zhou Feng, who was specially dressed in the prince's costume, had a gentle smile on his face, but the guests passing by around him were all smiling and saluting, but no one dared to come forward to talk, so as not to delay Zhou Feng's time.

After all, the guests on the periphery do not have this qualification in terms of identity.

Before entering the inner courtyard, there was an extra guard around Zhou Feng, and no one noticed that this guard appeared suddenly.

"Tell the prince, everything has been arranged, and the people at the palace gate have just sent back the news that the emperor and the queen have left the palace gate." The guard whispered.

"Well, there must be no relaxation, if you find a suspicious person, tie it up and throw it to Shuntian Mansion Yin first." Zhou Feng explained.

"Yes." After the guard replied, seeing that Zhou Feng had no other instructions, he turned around and left.

Poor Shuntianfu Yin, not only can't eat and drink, but also has to be busy in the yamen, and I don't know how many people can live in the prison of Shuntianfu.

The capital has a large population, and if there are red things, there will naturally be white things.

The Tang family organized the old lady's birthday banquet and Tang Tang's wedding banquet with great fanfare, but the An family chose to give the funeral of Mr. An today, but the An family did not invite guests, and there were even few people who knew that Mr. An had passed away.

As a filial son, An Xuyan was wearing linen and filial piety to help the coffin out of the city, the housekeeper followed closely by An Xuyan's side, and several elders of the An family were just sent to the door, whether it was because of their age or body, they were not suitable for sending Old Man An on his last journey.

"Fortunately, the An family still has an Anxu banquet, otherwise the An family will really collapse." The slightly younger patriarch sighed, coughed violently as he spoke.

"Yes, a few years ago, the An family was still the first nobleman in the capital, and the Tang family was also suppressed by the An family, but in just a few years, the hundred-year-old Wang family was only left with a direct junior like Xuyan, but he refused to marry again for such a disaster, when will the An family have incense again!" The clan elder who was supported by his subordinates had red eyes again, worried about the future of the An family.

The eldest clan elder didn't speak, but the frowning brows and complicated eyes betrayed his mood.

An Xuyan and his party went out of the capital smoothly, and left the coffin aside without going to the Anjia cemetery.

A few of the children of the Anjia family wanted to ask what had happened, but the next moment they were hacked to death, and their bodies were thrown directly into the weeds next to them.

"Young master, please leave first, subordinates go back to the capital to sit in the town, if the subordinates can't come to find the young master within three days, I hope that the young master can take the overall situation as the first step to leave, and he will make plans again in the future!" The butler knelt on the ground and kowtowed to An Xuyan, with a decisive look in his eyes, "Young master, take care!" ”

An Xuyan didn't speak, just nodded lightly, then took the reins handed by his subordinates and galloped away.

Seeing An Xuyan leave a distance of several hundred meters, the butler stood up and shouted to the crowd behind him: "Everyone has been cultivated by the master, and today is the time for everyone to work for the master and the young master!" If we win, we will be from the dragon's work, and it will be no problem to be crowned king and prime minister in the future. If we lose, we will accept our fate, and we will be a good man again in eighteen years! ”

"Serve the Lord, and die without regret!" The crowd shouted loudly with their fists raised.

"Let's go!" The butler shouted, took the lead in turning over his horse, and headed in the direction of Kyoto, and the white filial piety clothes on his body were thrown into the air by him.

Until these people were far away, the coffin lying alone on the ground made a noise.

After tossing for a long time, a woman who was neither human nor ghost crawled out of the coffin, and looked in the direction of the capital with her long dirty hair with her hand, and then fell in the opposite direction.

"Anxu feast!" The woman made an extremely hateful voice, who else could there be if it wasn't An Yanran?

Holding on to the coffin, An Yanran, who had been hungry for a few days, could not stand firmly, and her hatred allowed her to support her until now, but she escaped from the enemy but did not have the strength to do anything, so she fainted next to the coffin.

An hour later, the killing in the capital continued, and the Tang family spread in the direction of the palace with the Tang family as the center, and I don't know how many innocent people died in this riot.

Even if Zhou Feng had already deployed, he could not guarantee that the people would not suffer any harm, and could only try to ensure that the harm of the people could be minimized.

As an emperor, someone rebelled but was not in the palace, but trapped in the general's mansion, the emperor was furious, and he still knew it in cold blood and ruthlessly issued a holy decree that he would rather kill by mistake than let go.

In the Tang Mansion, the guests were so frightened that they didn't know how to hide, but no one thought about whether there would be rebels mixed in.

can know that the emperor's side is safe, but except for the prince's family of three, no one can get close to the emperor's body, even the master of the Tang family can only wait for the war to subside under the protection of the second defense in the closest place to the royal family.

Prince Rui, who has always ignored political affairs, is also dressed in battle today, even if he has not led troops to fight for many years, but the guards in the palace are an iron-blooded army, coupled with the manpower handed over to him by the emperor, he will soon clear a bloody path and not give the enemy a chance to backhand.

"The prince will go to the rescue first, and leave it to his subordinates here." The emperor's men took advantage of the time when they had just slashed an enemy, and approached the side of Prince Rui.

"Have you forgotten the imperial brother's message?" Prince Rui held a sword in one hand and a sword in the other, and took the enemy's life with a wave of his two hands, "Unless you receive a signal from the imperial brother for help, you must stick to the palace gate." ”

"It's the fault of my subordinates, please forgive me!" The guards hurriedly admitted their mistakes and continued to fight to kill the enemy.

Soon, there was a river of blood on the streets, corpses were strewn across the streets, and many shops had damaged doors and windows.

Because those rebels are disguised as ordinary people, some people who are not on the road in the first place have also begun to fish in troubled waters, openly and openly engaged in robbery, and the less timid ones are fishing with the water.

The situation in the capital was unknown to the people in the dry city, and they didn't know that in this chaos, Ah Hao, who had always loved Princess Ai Siqi, actually took advantage of the chaos to rescue Ai Siqi, and even escaped from the secret passage he had worked hard to dig for months.

On the way to escape, Ai Siqi's master and servant met An Yanran, who was unconscious, and I don't know what kind of mentality Ai Siqi had, so she took her with her.

Dry city, the prefect's backyard.

Yelang and Apple helped Song Xingchen to walk around the yard, and there was anxiety in their eyes that they didn't dare to show.

Not only them, but also Song Lu and the others who were sitting or standing in the courtyard also had anxious expressions.

"Second sister, isn't Xingchen's due date yet yet? Why is there any movement? Zhou Jin is the most unfamiliar with this kind of thing, so when he saw that everyone was nervous, he was also nervous.

Especially when she saw Song Xingchen gritting her teeth and enduring the pain from time to time, or taking deep breaths, her body would involuntarily tense, and she didn't know how to relax herself.

"Xingchen's due date is still more than half a month, and it is indeed early to launch now, but there should be no problems." Song Yue said in a calm tone: "Don't be too nervous, otherwise it will affect Xingchen, she will inevitably be scared and more painful when she gives birth to a child for the first time." ”

"Does it hurt to have a baby?" Zhou Jin sighed, and when he saw Song Xingchen looking over here, he hurriedly covered his mouth, but couldn't help but ask again in a whisper.

In the royal family, Zhou Jin is the youngest imperial heir, and when Zhou Feng's son was born, Zhou Jin couldn't go, so he didn't hear the pain cry of a woman giving birth.

As a royal princess, Zhou Jin originally didn't have many opportunities to leave the palace, even if she often went out of the palace when she was doing business with Song Xingchen, she couldn't go anywhere at will, not to mention that production was not something that could be encountered at any time.

"Well, it hurts." Song Yue nodded, and the afterglow swept to Zhou Jin, who was a little scared, and suddenly remembered that she hadn't married yet, in case she was scared, it would be bad if she married her eldest brother in the future but didn't dare to have children, so she hurriedly bumped Song Lu's arm and said, "Mother, I remember that when this woman gives birth to a child, men and women who are not married cannot be present, right?" ”

"Well, the older generation says that the delivery room is unlucky, not only people who are not married can't go, but even those who have not given birth must be avoided, especially men." After Song Lushi finished speaking, he understood Song Yue's intentions, and hurriedly stood up and pulled Song Yang and Zhou Jin up one by one, "You guys leave quickly, you can go where you want to go, if you really have nothing to do, go outside and take a turn, you don't need your help here." Don't come to this yard until the stars give birth, remember? ”

"Mother......" Song Yang just wanted to say something, Song Yue touched his arm and said: "Big brother still listen to my mother, even if the eldest brother doesn't care about the future, but the princess's reputation will be ruined, how can there be a woman who has not been out of the cabinet to watch others give birth." Don't forget, we also invited a midwife to give me a hand, in case the midwife goes out to brag, the princess's reputation is bad, and our Song family has become an unruly family, maybe someone will arrange a few words about the stars. ”

When Song Yue spoke, she deliberately swept in the direction of Zhou Jin, and Song Yang's words could no longer be spoken.

It's not that Song Yang cares much about his reputation, and he values the safety of his sister more than he cares about his own sister's safety, but Zhou Jin's face is a little pale, obviously frightened.
