On March 20, the commander-in-chief of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division made Yue Zheng, a member of the Qi Wangmen, impeached by the imperial history and interrogated by the Criminal Department. King Qi kept his mouth shut, and closed the door saying that he was sick.

Old mansion.

"Yue Zheng was impeached, and the people of Yushitai didn't hear anything about it beforehand. At this time, he was replaced, and the next actions had to be advanced. Li Jue threw the music in his hand into the face of the person sitting opposite, "And this, if I hadn't sent someone to secretly stare at Shangjing Mansion, Liu Huan's music would have gone straight to heaven today." The good deeds you did, the people you sent didn't succeed, and they were caught. If it weren't for the spies in Shangjing Mansion who were quick to act, it would be this king who would be locked up tomorrow and take the punishment department! Kill that woman as soon as possible! ”

The man on the opposite side was smashed by Li Jue's head and face, and he didn't dare to dodge, and knelt straight to the ground, "Please also ask the prince to calm his anger!" The assassin's subordinates suspected that it was the work of the Dragon Tiger Guard, but they were afraid that there was also a Dragon Tiger Guard by the woman's side outside the city. Yue Zheng's removal shows that the palace has become vigilant, and his subordinates think that the plan for today is to start an incident as soon as possible. The main force near Shangjing has been transferred, and Beihu has restrained the Hua family father and son, and this is the best time to start an incident. ”

"No, let me think about it. Hexiwei was sent to support Beihu, and he had just left not long ago. Moreover, I always felt that Li Mian was not so eager to end the war on the Northern Front as soon as possible. Li Jue was a little hesitant, in addition to the unclear situation, he also knew that once the incident started, it would be completely exposed, and there would be no way back in the future.

"Lord Wang, after so many years of planning, you can't be so hesitant anymore! Don't you take revenge on the imperial concubine and Princess Qingning? Once you miss the opportunity, as soon as the matter of uniting Beihu is exposed, Li Mian and they will not let you go easily. ”

Li Jue raised his head and looked at the portrait in front of him, "Well, I'm going to leave Beijing tomorrow." ”

March 21. Li Jue occasionally felt cold, and on the 22nd, he was seriously ill, and said that he did not go to court.

On March 26, the two armies of Dahua and Beihu met at Mangye, and Beihu was defeated. The general of Dahua led his troops in pursuit, and mistakenly fell into the strategy of Beihu to lure the enemy, and lost his trace on the outskirts of the Suha Desert. Hua Shaoyan, the commander of the army, is missing.

After hearing the news, Princess Duanyang was in a hurry and almost fainted. Qing Dai opened her mouth several times to tell Hua Shaoyan's news, but finally closed her mouth, it was a matter of confidentiality. She can't divulge.

In the evening, Hua Shaoyan came. Qing Dai told him about the day, "What are you going to do next?" Mother's side, do you want to reveal some news to her? ”

Hua Shaoyan leaned down and half-hugged Qing Dai, "Well, I'll look for her later." I'm leaving Shangjing tomorrow. Take care of yourself. I'll leave Chen Xuan behind, in case something happens. Go find him. ”

Qing Dai turned around and hugged Hua Shaoyan, buried her head in his chest, and said sullenly, "Hmm." I know. ”

"Go and rest! I'll leave when you're asleep. ”

Hua Shaoyan covered the quilt on Qing Dai, and patted Qing Dai's lower abdomen lightly with his big palm, "Remember, take care of yourself first." ”

"Hmm!"

After Hua Shaoyan left, Qing Dai stayed at home honestly, always feeling that Shangjing was only afraid that something big would happen behind the quiet of Shangjing.

Really. It didn't take a few days. On the eighth day of the fourth month, Hua Shaoqi and Hua Shaozhong did not come back after they went to court. In the evening, a team of five soldiers from the Five Cities Terracotta Division began to patrol the whole process. Soldiers from the Terracotta Division were stationed near the major mansions.

Princess Duanyang immediately ordered someone to close the door of the mansion. There was not a single man in the family, and the family of four women was sitting in the main room of the east courtyard.

"Mother, it's been all night, no one has come back, and there is not even any news, will something happen to Wen Xuan and the eldest brother?" Suddenly, the situation in the city changed rapidly, and the man in the family was nowhere to be found, and suddenly there was no backbone, and Yan panicked.

"What are you anxious about! The two of them will be fine, wait a little longer, it is estimated that there is a big incident outside Beijing. "Princess Duanyang has experienced the rebellion of the vassal king when the emperor was seriously ill over the years, and the battle of the prince and the heir of the prince was over, and the wind and waves have come, and her face has not changed when she encounters this situation, "The more critical the time, the more you can't mess up." ”

After waiting for another whole day, in the evening, Hua Shaoqi and Hua Shaozhong both returned. Princess Duanyang breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the two of them were fine. Yan almost didn't cry when he saw Hua Shaozhong.

Hua Shaoqi nodded to Tingjia, and then said to Princess Duanyang: "Mother, something is wrong, on the fifth day of the first month, the Beihu cavalry suddenly appeared near Linchuan, Hedongwei sent troops to pursue yesterday in the name of clearing out bandits, and hit Bozhou in two days. ”

Yan and Tingjia don't understand, Qingdai knows the location of Bozhou because she is familiar with geography, the north gate of Beijing, Bozhou is lost, and the capital is in danger.

"Bozhou is lost, isn't it dangerous to go to Beijing?" Qing Dai said it casually, but it startled Yan and Tingjia.

"Is Beihu going to hit the capital?" Tingjia asked in a low voice.

Hua Shaozhong nodded from the side and said: "As soon as Bozhou is broken, you can hit Shangjing within five days." ”

"It was only last month that Hexiwei was transferred to support Ning Jing, and at this time, Hedongwei rebelled, who was behind it?" Princess Duanyang understands that the situation is serious now.

Hua Shaoqi's face was solemn, "It's King Ning." ”

"Ahh Yan Shi was startled and said, "How is it possible?" ”

"What may be impossible, since it is the news announced by the imperial court, it is true." Princess Duanyang shouted angrily, in other words, she might not believe the news when she heard it, but since she found out that Qingdai's matter was related to King Ning, she was more wary of King Ning, but she never thought that he would launch a rebellion at this time.

"In the name of recuperation, King Ning sneaked out of the capital, united with Hedongwei, and colluded with the Beihu rebellion, which has been confirmed. The emperor has now sent people to surround the palace of King Qi, but no one from King Qi's family has absconded from Shangjing, I don't know if they were tricked by King Ning, or if this matter has nothing to do with them. ”

Princess Duanyang frowned and said, "Uncle Wang has always been close to the ninth brother, and the emperor will suspect that he should also be." I just hope that this matter really has nothing to do with him. ”

Hua Shaoqi was worried about another thing, "Now that the main forces have gone to Beihu, there are not enough troops in Shangjing, this is a tough battle." ”

When Yan heard this, the defenders were insufficient, and if there was a good one, he didn't want to throw his life in Shangjing like this.

"Now that the rebels are coming, Mother, let's pack up and get out of the city! I'm afraid that if it's too late, I won't be able to get out. ”

"You know what! Woman's view! Hua Shaozhong was dissatisfied with his wife's attitude, and interrupted Yan's words with a high shout, "Even if you want to escape, it can't be our Zhongyi Marquis Mansion." ”

"Wen Xuan is right, the emperor is in Beijing for a day, and we people from the Marquis of Zhongyi Mansion can't leave." Princess Duanyang glanced at the Yan family, "From now on, the Hou Mansion will strengthen its vigilance, and no one will be allowed to leave without permission." Others are messy, but we can't mess up. ”

Princess Duanyang sent everyone away, leaving her two sons to discuss. Yan was reprimanded, and her husband was dissatisfied, so she bowed down and said goodbye.

Tingjia first sent Qing Dai back to Qinglan Courtyard, and told Qing Dai two words, asking her to pay attention to her body.

Qing Dai said: "During these days, the whole city is on alert, and the food of the people in the house has to worry about the sister-in-law, and in addition, some fresh water and food should be stored in the cellar, in case there is something to leave or dodge, it is better to prepare in advance, don't be busy at that time." ”

"Well, it's still your thoughtfulness, I'll go and prepare."

Tingjia left, and Zhu Yun said worriedly: "Grandma, you have a heavy body, why don't you mention it to the princess and go out of the city first?" ”

Qing Dai shook her head, "The Dahua army is not a vegetarian, where it can be broken, it can be broken." Shangjing City has stood for a hundred years, the city is strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and King Ning's army is not so easy to break through Shangjing. Your grandmother is not worried, what are you worried about, relax! Again, it may not be safe to go out, and the last time I was robbed in Xingshan Temple, I might as well stay in the house to be safer. ”

Qingdai believes in Hua Shaoyan, he should have been arranging it when he secretly sneaked back to Beijing under his order, and the emperor wanted to take this opportunity to clean up King Ning, by the way, you can also take a look, a few people in the court are sincere and a few people are fake.

In the next few days, the emperor sent people to shout the battle report every day and could be heard all over the street, and the capital became a pot of porridge, and all the houses fled one after another. Qing Dai smiled secretly, it seemed that she had guessed correctly, the emperor did it on purpose.

The people of the Marquis of Zhongyi Mansion still couldn't stay safe.

Sure enough, King Ning's army marched for three days, and when it was seen that it was about to arrive in Shangjing in two days, there was no battle report coming, and Chen Xuan also appeared in the mansion of Marquis Zhongyi.

"King Ning's army met the general at Hanshan Pass on the second day after leaving Bocheng, and was blocked for three days without an inch, and the soldiers and horses of the general of the southeast company had been transferred to Beijing half a month earlier, and it was estimated that it would arrive in another day. The general is afraid that you are worried about the princess, and the last general has come to report to you. ”

"Amitabha, thank God!" Princess Duanyang's mood that had been depressed for many days finally cleared, and there was a little more smile on her face, "It's finally over." ”

On April 27, King Ning's army was completely annihilated, and King Ning led a small team of men and horses to flee in chaos. At the same time, news also came from Beihu that Zong Wok was seriously injured in the Suha Desert and fled back to the capital, and the Empress Dowager of Beihu sent envoys to sue for peace.

"The army is triumphant, the emperor welcomes him personally, and personally gives wine to the Ninth Young Master to ask for merit."

"The ninth young master of our family is riding on the black wind, wearing silver armor, like a god, and the girls who came to watch the ceremony around were stunned."

"yes, yes, I'm stunned."

Zhu Yun snorted: "This group of faceless and skinless little hooves are actually yelling here, I'm going to clean them up." ”

Qing Dai walked in the garden, listening to the little girls coming back from the city gate to watch the ceremony and talk about the scene at that time, and couldn't help but wonder, "This little thing is still a big fuss, let's go, go back." It is estimated that the master is about to come out of the palace. ”

Qingdai had just walked back to Qinglan Courtyard, and Hua Shaoyan happened to come back.

Seeing the Qing Dai smiling at him with his stomach up, Hua Shaoyan's heart was soft, and he walked over in three or two steps, holding the Qing Dai by his side, "I'm back, fortunately not dishonored!"
