Chapter 109: Wei Dies
It was the early winter, the Yong army broke through the imperial capital, and the Great Wei Forbidden Army was almost wiped out as everyone expected.
After the city was broken, Huo Zhao's 'jade' husband and 'wife' who received the news committed suicide with their sons and 'daughters'.
At noon on this day, Wen Yanzi was dressed in bright light armor and rode a hard-to-find sweat and blood horse, and flocked into the city for the civil and military generals who were fixed.
When the group arrived at the main 'gate' of the Great Wei Palace, they were stopped by many white-haired old ministers.
These old ministers, who wore the official uniforms of the Great Wei Dynasty and carried the coffin, were not too high in their official positions before Emperor Xingping. Because Emperor Xingping was a puppet who was supported by the valve after the fall of the imperial capital, during that time, in order to win the hearts of the people, he had a large number of officials, and the official positions were overflowing.
For example, Shen Zangfeng's original Yongding Marquis Jin became the Duke of Dingguo, and it didn't take long for him to become the King of Ding.
Because this promotion is too understated, and everyone knows that the Great Wei Guozuo is not long, many people do not take this promotion to heart. Like the Shen family, Shen Zangfeng went to the imperial capital first and was crowned queen, but Ming Peitang still called Wei Changying his wife instead of queen, and he changed his words when he arrived in the imperial capital. And the servants of the Shen family even always only called Shen Zangfeng the lord.
So these old ministers are all wearing Zhu Dai Zi, and they seem to be of a good grade, but in fact, there are not many who have real power - the focus is on an old minister headed by him, who reported that his family 'door' was born in Fengzhou Wei, a disciple of Zhibentang, named Wei Jun, and was one of the few survivors of Zhibentang when the imperial capital fell.
Of course, they appeared here carrying the coffin not to send Emperor Xingping a ride and greet Wen Lingzi, but to stop Wen Lingzi from usurping the country.
Don't think about it, this kind of obstruction is naturally meaningless.
Wen Yanzi saluted first and then the soldiers, first persuaded Yan Yue's 'color', from the general trend of the world, the abuse of the Wei family to the selection of good birds and wood, but these people did not enter the oil and salt - Wen Lingzi said that the 'lips' were anxious, it was ineffective, and he was too lazy to bother thinking about it, with a wave of his hand, '' Ge Jiashi stepped forward vigorously, not wanting those old ministers to be fearless of death, and Wei Jun, who was the leader, said even more disdainfully: "My family is famous in the world's 'door', and the integrity is long!" All the 'doors' are loyal ministers of the Great Wei Dynasty, and they are deeply favored by the Wei family! How can you die at the hands of you usurper! ”
Before Yu Bi waited for the armor soldier to make a move, he pulled out the short sword in his sleeve and killed himself!
He took the lead, and the rest of the twenty-two old ministers did it one after another, and in an instant, blood flowed in front of the palace, and the scene was extremely slaughtering!
Wen Yanzi was swept away like this, and naturally became furious! He ordered the twenty-three bodies to be "burned to the ground, so that no corpse could be buried," and he said that he would "have no home" and track down the remnants......
Entering the palace with hatred like this, Wen Yanzi was not in the mood to do anything, so he directly dragged the trembling Emperor Xingping from under the imperial couch to the main hall of Xuanming Palace, and read out in public many crimes such as mediocrity and incompetence of the Wei family since the Emperor Xizong, and the murder of Li Shu, completely ignoring Emperor Xingping's bitter pleas and arguments, and gave him self-hanging!
Because Emperor Xingping did not dare to pick up the white silk several times, and finally Liu Rong hanged it, and Wen Yanzi ordered it to be buried with a concubine - by this time, it was already too late, and he wanted to set up a banquet to reward the heroes, discuss the selection of a good day and an auspicious time to officially ascend the throne, and so on......
Among these many things, there is another thing that is inconspicuous and not easy to tell everyone publicly, which makes Wen Yanzi worried: "It is said that the young 'daughter' of Wei Huanzong, Princess Qingxin, is so beautiful that after Emperor Xingping ascended the throne, he deliberately re-titled her princess, in order to use her beauty to win people's hearts...... But for various reasons, I have not married......"
Wen Lingzi has also seen many beauties over the years, especially the righteous 'girl' of the splendid Duanmu family, in Wen Lingzi's opinion, the real character is fresh 'flower' Mingyue is beyond reach, but it is said that compared with this Qingxin princess, I don't know where the difference is!
"Before entering the city, I asked the left and right what other 'female' relatives are in the palace, and I think these people should know it in their hearts." Wen Yanzi thought for a while, and felt that at this time, it seemed that he was too heavy on beauty and 'sex' to mention a princess who was stable and confined, so he stopped talking, and only thought about waiting for the evening to let Princess Qingxin come over.
And his estimate was right, at this time, Princess Qingxin in Furui Palace was being served by the 'girl' of Hu Palace and others to bathe and change clothes.
"Your Highness, don't be afraid!" The 'girl' of Hu Palace took the secret balm made in the palace and applied it to Princess Qingxin's greasy white skin, and said in a low voice, "Although the saint is gone, the Yongjun army is just guarding this place, and the soldiers don't even dare to enter the 'door' - it shows that King Yong doesn't mean to embarrass you!" ”
Princess Qingxin was lying on the edge of the bath a little blankly, and said lightly: "But Da Wei is gone......"
"But you have to get by!" Hu Gong's 'girl' heard her sadness and hesitation, sighed, but her hands did not stop, and said seriously, "The queen mother is gone, the prince ...... His Royal Highness King Heng is gone, and the emperors and grandchildren are gone...... The only bone and blood left is you. You passed on the good looks of Niangniang, how old are the Yuan partners of King Yong? He was born as a rural pariah, how can he compare with you? ”
Speaking of this, his voice was low, "Although King Yong's Yuan Pei has given birth to four sons-in-law, the only living concubine is said to be very unpopular with King Yong, otherwise how could he be sent to Mingpei Hall and sent to Ruiyu Hall in a flash?!" Now that King Yong's heirs are thin, with your beauty and identity, even if King Yong does not abandon his wife, how can he wronged you? At that time, you will have a son and a half 'daughter', and your mother will be under Jiuquan, so you will be at ease! ”
Hu Gong's 'girl' voice was full of sorrow and joy, "What about the maids, they are worthy of the mother!" ”
Princess Qingxin muttered: "How old is that Wen Yanzi......"
"Old husbands and young wives, there have been many since ancient times!" Hu Gong's 'girl' wiped away her tears and coaxed, "Besides, when you're old, you know that it hurts!" ”
Princess Qingxin pursed her lips, and a drop of tears fell into the bucket, and said, "But I still don't want to ......."
"But you don't have a choice right now." Hu Gong's 'woman' was silent for a long time before she said in a low voice, "The servants are incompetent and can't protect you." Now, with King Yong, you can't run away with a high-ranking concubine in the future. If you don't obey King Yong, don't say what King Yong will do with you under his anger, just say that he will reward you casually...... At that time, it may be even more unbearable than King Yong! ”
Speaking of this, no matter how reluctant Princess Qingxin is, she can only let the 'girl' of Hu Palace and others 'fiddle'. According to the secret method in the palace, she bathed three times, washed her whole body like a beautiful 'jade', and filled the room with a fragrant skin, before putting on a set of gorgeous clothes that had been discussed for a long time by the 'women' of the Hu Palace, and combing her extremely complex and beautiful hair buns, and wearing the best set of jewelry - after that, she took a self-portrait in the mirror, and the people in the mirror were overwhelmed, and it was not too much to say that it was 'beautiful'!
Hu Palace's 'female' and several other palace people glanced at each other, with joy and reassurance in their eyes: "If His Royal Highness can't favor King Yong's future six palaces, unless King Yong doesn't have eyes!" ”
But Princess Qingxin looked at the shadow in the mirror coldly, but said lightly: "Like a 'girl' in the land of Golan, the 'fine' heart dresses up, just to win a smile from the benefactor?" ”
"You ......" made the atmosphere in the room stiffen, and after a while, the 'girl' of Hu Palace made a 'look', let everyone else withdraw, stepped forward to support Princess Qingxin's shoulder, and said earnestly: "Your Highness, the servant knows that you are wronged!" But think about it, in this world, from the golden branches and 'jade' leaves, down to the ordinary people, this 'girl' child grows up, and she will always get married! Which bride will not be able to dress up? If Great Wei is still at its peak now, won't you decline? ”
As she spoke, she couldn't help crying quietly, "Earlier, the Holy Lord mentioned several times that you would descend, but Eldest Princess Anji hated the previous things and stopped them every time!" So much so that Your Highness, you are now in your twenties, but you are still in the deep palace! If it weren't for the death of Great Wei, I don't know when the eldest princess of Anji would stop you! Are you willing to do this for the rest of your life? In fact, why should you despise yourself so much? Ordinary people are concubines who are concubines, and concubines are bought and sold. But can the concubine in the palace be the same? Have you forgotten that when Deng Guifei was there, even Niangniang often had no way to take her. And Deng Guifei is actually not as good as her mother, not to mention, she doesn't even have a 'girl' under her knees! Not to mention that Concubine Deng's position is second only to our mother, let's just say that Miao Jieyu and Zhong Xiaoyi in the past were not high, but who in the palace dared to give them no face in the past? ”
The 'girl' of Hu Gong didn't know how long she had been crying, so Qing Xin sighed with a complicated face and said, "Aunt Hu, I know that you are for my good." I was just...... I know how to do it. ”
"Your Highness, now whether it is a servant or the person who quit just now, the mother did everything possible to stay for you, for fear that you would be wronged by no one to support you!" Hu Gong's 'girl' wiped her eyes and said in a low voice, "The Tao of the harem is no clearer than that of the maids. You 'served' King Yong, and the maids next to you didn't dare to talk about it, but there was one thing, that is, as long as King Yong didn't fall, the wealth and benefits in this palace would definitely not be wronged. If you can't open your eyes and want to get along with you, you don't have to dirty your hands and your eyes, the servants can only cook for you - in fact, when the mother was in the cold palace, she said that you were born here, and you have such a look, the best way out is actually to be a concubine for the emperor of the new dynasty! Even if ordinary people still pay you, they may invite disaster! ”
Qingxin was silent for a long time and said, "I know." He added, "Auntie, you've been with me all the time, I'm tired of thinking about it, go out and rest, I want to be alone." ”
Hu Gong's 'daughter' knew that she had fallen all the way from the emperor's 'daughter', and now she was going to commit herself to 'serving' the people who destroyed the Great Wei, her heart must be very complicated, and now she naturally didn't want anyone to be in front of her, so she obeyed, and said: "No one has come over there yet, I think it's going to be night...... If you are tired, call the servants to come in and remove the hairpin ring for you, and you will sit on the couch for a while. ”
"I'm not sleepy yet." Qing Xin shook her head and said, "I'll just sit down for a while." ”
Hu Gong's 'girl' sighed secretly and said, "Then you have something to call." And he went out.
After she left, Princess Qingxin held a bronze mirror to shine on her beautiful face, but there was deep helplessness and sadness in her heart: "If I hadn't been born in the emperor's family, maybe I would ...... Approximately this is fate? ”
Looking at it, Princess Qingxin was suddenly stunned, and her eyes showed a 'color' of extreme horror - through the candle flame on the dressing table, the bronze mirror shone brightly, and behind her, a man with a 'color' face and dressed as a soldier was tiptoeing close......
"Hmm!" After years of pampering, Princess Qingxin's reaction was far inferior to the soldiers who had survived many battles in front of the battle......
