There are a series of things in the front yard and the back yard, and this year can be imagined to be not very good.

The sect and the clan are almost clearly falling out, and they will not be filial until March after the New Year, so the New Year Festival is also very deserted.

But anyway, the years are over.

After the Lantern Festival, although the spring of Xiliang came late, it was still icy and snowy at this time, but thinking about the filial piety in two and a half months, don't be as restrained as you are now. Everyone still felt faintly relieved.

But it's not all without troubles, Shen Shuyan recovered very unsatisfactory because of his mood, and Su Yuyin's hidden pregnancy was also accidentally moved once, and it was finally concealed.

Regardless of these two things, the imperial capital Huo, Gu, Pei, Deng and several other families drove the Su, which not only directly changed the pattern of the Central Plains, but also caught the Shen family, who had the idea of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, a little unprepared.

Su Xiuming and Su Xiuwei are not good at handling political affairs, they are better at leading troops. Therefore, after the Shen family withdrew to Xiliang under the pretext that the Di people were revived, Su Xiuming, who intended to monopolize power, felt that he was too busy.

Although it is said that Huo Zhaoyu's revenge is the handiwork of the Wei family, it is not difficult for Su Xiuming to override Huo Zhaoyu at that time. After all, hundreds of thousands of troops are in Gyeonggi.

The problem is that Su Xiuming has no ability to oversee the government at all, even if at this time, the so-called Great Wei Court can really govern the territory of only a few states, and a few of them are still separated by riots.

…… Su Xiuwei has such a talent in her hands, which is among the group of people who were saved at the cost of Mrs. Deng's sacrifice.

But this group of people obeyed Su Pingzhan's meaning, that is to support the top position of the third room with an iron heart, how could Su Xiuming give them a chance?

So judging from Su Xiuming, Huo Zhaoyu can do a good job, so it is better to let Huo Zhaoyu come! A horse from a family is just a horse, and the imperial power has existed in name only, how can the Huo family beat their Su family?

In addition, Huo Zhaoyu was brought to the imperial capital even by his wife, the eldest princess Anji, and the youngest son under his knees, in Su Xiuming's opinion, this was even the hostage, which made him even more relieved.

At first, because he was recommended by Wei Changfeng, after Su Xiuming snubbed him, he found that he was indeed quite talented, and he didn't have much to do with the Wei family, as if Wei Changfeng was careless, so he gradually handed over the political affairs to him with confidence.

And Huo Zhaoyu not only knows how to do things, but also behaves, he is humble and courteous, has excellent self-cultivation, and knows how to advance and retreat...... The good temper and good reputation of the two sons of the Huo family were identified by Gu Naizheng, a strange man in the family.

Su Xiuming also thought that people like him were not a threat to herself, because after discovering that Huo Zhaoyu could share her worries, she simply continued to select people from the surviving children of the family to preside over government affairs. So that he could free up his hands, use Gyeonggi as his base camp, and go around to quell the civil unrest and seize the territory.

So Huo Zhaoyu successively recommended Gu Naizheng of the imperial capital Gu - this was spared when the imperial capital fell; Gu Naizheng's cousin Gu Xinian; and the sister-in-law of these two Gu Pei Xin; There are also Min Sishan of the Min family, Deng Zongle of the Deng family, Zhou Jianyuan of the Zhou family and others.

Except for Duanmu Wuwu, who was rejected, the others recommended by Huo Zhaoyu were all promised by Su Xiuming, who was eager to get out of government affairs.

This is also the infighting of the Su family, Su Xiuming refuses to trust the talents in the clan who are good at political affairs but support the third room, and would rather trust outsiders...... It's as if Wei Changying let go of many children in the Shen family, but invited Cao Hong'er to take care of his second son.

It's just that although Shen Shuxie is one of the sweethearts and souls of Shen Zangfeng and his wife, he is a child in the end, not the eldest son. Even if he was killed by Cao Hong'er, generally speaking, it would not affect the foundation of the entire Shen family.

Can you be in power......

Su Xiuming herself has a bit of a view of emphasizing martial arts and ignoring literature, and although her father Su Pingzhan has a smooth political approach, but under the fall of the imperial capital, Su Pingzhan's lifelong wisdom has not been able to save him. In the end, it was not the two border armies that arrived to recover the imperial capital and Yanzhou?

Therefore, Su Xiuming knew that Huo Zhaoyu and others were getting better and better, and took care of the government and politics well, and she didn't take it to heart.

He thought about it like this: First, it is a force to reduce ten meetings, no matter how powerful these people are in politics, their lives are not pinched in their own hands? Second, Huo Zhaoyu himself is very young, and the people he recommends are all young children of the family, many people or parents and elders were killed in the fall, and there is no elder to support or make ideas behind, so he can only rely on himself.

Su Xiuming felt that this group of children of the family was not as strong as the Su family in terms of family power, and they were not as good as themselves in terms of age. It's just a matter of knowing some cases - Su Xiuwei and the rest of the Su family have persuaded him several times, and also proposed to arrange at least some people from the Su family in key places.

But Su Xiuming was worried that Su Xiuwei wanted to yin herself.

All in all, this kind of suggestion is gone.

But if the government is only controlled by Huo Zhaoyu and others, it is not a big problem.

Unless someone else knocks down Gyeonggi, Huo Zhaoyu and the others will not and cannot do anything to the Su family.

The problem is that Su Xiuming agreed to Huo Zhaoyu's request to build a forbidden army in the middle of last year.

At that time, because there were several not very good cases - hundreds of thousands of Qingzhou troops were stationed in Gyeonggi, all of them were young and strong soldiers, and they had been away from home for a long time, how could they not have a little thought? Although it is said that after the war disaster, many of the women of good families who have no support have fallen into secret prostitution. Compared with the hundreds of thousands of troops, even if a group of troops were divided to support Donghu at that time, the rest was still not something that prostitutes could call.

The Su family is infighting, and it is too late to win the hearts of the army, this kind of "trivial matter", whether it is Su Xiuming or Su Xiuwei, they all turn a blind eye.

As a result, the Qingzhou army was spoiled, and they forced Liang to become prostitutes, robbed the people's daughters, and gave it back.

In the end, there was a bold man who gave his idea to the scholars.

As I said before, in the imperial capital, except for the imperial palace, almost all the mansions were burned down. So much so that the scholars who originally lived a life of Zhong Ming Ding food in the imperial capital could only temporarily live in a courtyard outside the city after the imperial capital was recovered.

Of course, the size of these annexes cannot be compared with their main residence, and the defense certainly cannot be compared.

Some of the soldiers looked at the large and small courtyards scattered outside the city, and felt that there were so many scholars, and their own master was the top family in the world, as long as they didn't provoke the same lords, the smaller scholars, those who were not very proud...... Should...... No problem, right?

Not to mention that the women of the scholar clan are pampered, even if the facial features are plain, they can also have a good skin that is difficult for the women of the Shu tribe to have. Let's just say that they can have a scholar and a woman in this capacity...... That was unimaginable before.

So some of the scholars and women suffered.

The problem is that the first woman who was sneaked into the house by the Qingzhou army at night was a widow, and she still had children to take care of. So after crying secretly, she killed a few slaves, and pretended that nothing had happened - this thing is going to make trouble, her mother's husband has no face, and she will definitely not survive, so what will happen to her child?

But this silence made those bold soldiers even more emboldened, and they continued to provoke the women of the family.

The next one who was killed was either silent or committed suicide without saying anything...... Because within a few years of the fall of the imperial capital, several suicides are believed to have followed their ancestors...... Until one time, these soldiers also received retribution, and found a side branch of the imperial capital Gu to sneak in.

They didn't know that the courtyard didn't seem to be large, and after inquiring, it was indeed the children of the Gu clan in the imperial capital...... But this son of the side branch was also famous among the children of the imperial capital a few years ago: Gu Yiran.

When Gu Yiran was Emperor Huanzong, he returned from Xiliang and received a great reward together with Shen Zangfeng and others.

After that, his elders sought a position for him, and like Gu Naizheng, both husband and wife escaped because of this.

It's just that Gu Yiran is good at martial arts and not good at literature, so Huo Zhaoyu didn't mention him when he recommended the young children of various families to govern. He also concentrated on keeping filial piety at home.

Like all couples who have not yet been filial, he is with the lord of Chengxian...... Because the biological father of the county lord of Chengxian is the emperor at the moment, she has been crowned a princess. In short, the couple has two people, one in the front yard and the other in the backyard...... To be honest, this is also the reason why those Qingzhou troops were able to succeed.

But it happened that Princess Chengxian was not in good health in those days, so Gu Rouzhang, the eldest lady of the Gu family who was of the same clan as Gu Yiran, went to visit......

After all, although Gu Rouzhang and Gu Yiran are far apart, everyone is of the same clan, plus God, so many people died in the Gu clan when the imperial capital fell. The so-called estrangement between the main sect and the side branches does not exist much anymore. Knowing that her sister-in-law was sick, Gu Rouzhang went over to visit, because the Pei family's courtyard where she lived was far away from Gu Yiran's house, and she was late when she spoke, so she simply stayed - she lived in the same house with her sister-in-law at that time.

So not long after these Qingzhou sergeants sneaked into the backyard, they were noticed by Gu Rouzhang.

Then Gu Yiran in the front yard was alarmed......

In the end, these people were lynched by the Gu family brothers and sisters who were not in a good mood, and they learned that they all had to say everything......

After listening to their confession that they had already harmed the daughters of several families, Gu Yiran and Gu Rouzhang, who had caught a few thieves, were going crazy!

This is in the eyes of the children of the scholar clan who have been taught by the difference between the scholars since they were young ...... That's absolutely unbearable!

Even if there is the Su family standing behind these soldiers, it is the same!

You must know that the former crown prince Shen Xunling. insulted Wei Changjuan, the young lady of the Wei family in Fengzhou, who was still the prince of Great Wei, and lost his position because of this! What's more, a few soldiers who don't bother to look at it in the eyes of the scholars?

…… In short, although this matter was not made public for the sake of the faces of the families, in private, it made the entire imperial capital of the scholars set off hatred against the Su family.

Later, after Huo Zhaoyu's mediation, it was barely calmed down.

And Huo Zhaoyu took advantage of this situation to propose the establishment of a forbidden army.

According to him, this forbidden army is just a name, and of course it is impossible to give military power to the clan. The main thing is to protect the safety of the scholars.

Since the Qingzhou Army was stationed in Gyeonggi, it was actually supposed to take on such an errand.

But when they make such a thing as self-theft by prison guards, who still believes them? They all asked to come by themselves.

Su Xiuming was also anxious earlier, and heard Huo Zhaoyu say that if he didn't agree, the family would definitely not be able to trust the Su family, and when the time came, he would all go back to his ancestral hometown, and he would not be able to preside over government affairs alone...... Su Xiuming couldn't detain or kill them all, so after thinking about it, she gave a quota of 2,000 people and agreed.

As a result, Huo Zhaoyu did get 2,000 forbidden troops, but these forbidden troops were all selected from the guards. And he gave them ten days off every month to return to the house of the Lord...... They trained other members of the master's house, nominally soldiers, but in fact they were at least chiefs and so on...... Anyway, Huo Zhaoyu wouldn't admit that this was his idea.

Su Xiuming didn't feel at ease when she heard the news, but the family was frightened by what happened before, and hoped to train all the family members. In his opinion, the soldiers who have only been established for a few months, even if there is a general who uses soldiers like a god, what can be trained in such a little time? He was going to wait a little longer, wait for the previous events to be forgotten, and then come back to knock again. lest the contradictions between the two sides deteriorate further.

But he never expected that when Wen Yanzi and others joined forces to attack the Su family's territory, Su Xiuming and Su Xiuwei were all fighting with all their might, Huo Zhaoyu, a family that had formed an alliance in private, brought out nearly 10,000 people with complete armor!

Of course, even 100,000 soldiers and horses can't scare the Su family, the problem is that this rebellion came too suddenly!

What's more, Huo Zhaoyu even used Emperor Xingping as a disguise.

Sent someone to tell Su Xiuming and Su Xiuwei that it was Wen Yanzi who sent assassins into the palace to assassinate Emperor Xingping and tricked the two into the palace! In order to prevent being seen through, the poor old Emperor Xingping was really made half-dead......

The fact that these two people were able to get out of the palace alive is enough to prove that the Qingzhou Army is tough and the hastily trained forbidden army is not angry.

The Su family, who has been entrenched in Gyeonggi for several years, is in a coma because of Su Xiuming and Su Xiuwei's serious injuries, the eldest son Su Ruoqian has long returned to his hometown to guard filial piety, and the fifth son, Su Yuwu, is far away in Donghu...... was defeated by Wen Yanzi and others who seized the chaotic situation of the army's hearts in one fell swoop, and fled towards Qingzhou in a chaotic manner.

And Wen Yanzi and others fought to the north of Panzhou and did not move, it is said that ...... It's just that it is said that it is an agreement with Huo Zhaoyu and others.

Huo Zhaoyu, the son of a family who was recognized as having a gentle temperament during the Huan Sect and the Shu Sect, unexpectedly revealed his true face, replacing the Su family's possession of part of the territory of Gyeonggi and nearby states, and also holding the Son of Heaven and becoming a new tyrant in the troubled times!
