Chapter 122: A Wave of Unsettled Waves (1)
Izuku didn't expect that what she was worried about would happen so quickly. Only three months later, the situation took a turn for the worse, and a so-called "rebellion" in which the four princes had the upper hand ended in failure.
What happened, Izumi didn't know very much about it in Yanlan City. However, according to the secret report sent by the secret guard, King Fu held the banner of "siblings are in chaos, why is there any hurry", and it stands to reason that he should have attacked Fangzhou to deal with King Mu, but he couldn't wait to take the lead in attacking the imperial city of Jingzhou. This was a very unsuccessful move, which made King Fu's mouth clear and completely ruined the name of benevolence that he had accumulated for several years.
At the same time, as the world's doubts about Izuxiu became more and more intense, King Mu counterattacked. smashed King Fu's fiefdom Quzhou in one go, and on the grounds of King Fu's "rebellion", he beheaded first and then played, and executed all his wives and concubines and children, leaving no one alive. Naturally, Shen Yu's sister Shen Xuan did not escape this catastrophe.
At the time of the incident, King Fu was directing the battle around the imperial city, and he almost fainted when he heard the news. Who would have thought that King Mu would be attacked from both sides, and ordered a team of men and horses to go to Quzhou to deal with King Fu's relatives, and he took another team of men and horses to the south, and they were invincible along the way, and smashed the imperial city. And the banner raised is "Escort and save the country".
Obviously, in terms of momentum, King Fu has already lost. What's more, King Mu didn't leave a way back for his four emperor brothers at all, and killed all his wives and concubines and children. Such methods are indeed iron-blooded and terrifying enough.
After that, all the disturbances finally came to light. On June 19, King Mu defeated King Fu's men and invaded the imperial city of Jingzhou. On the main hall of Yingyuan Palace, Emperor Nie was forced to make a choice in front of his two sons - choose seven and abandon four. Under the grief and anger of the four princes, King Fu committed suicide by slashing his neck in the main hall.
After that, King Mu got the will of Emperor Nie to take the throne, but he did not immediately ascend the throne in Jingzhou, but set off to return to his fiefdom Fangzhou with the attitude of a loyal and filial son who "opened the banner and won the victory". But this news came from the Yun Clan's secret guard, and whether King Mu got the will of the Zen position or not, such secrets still need to be verified.
But the result has already settled: Prince Nanxi is Nie Peihan. Even if he did not receive the title of "prince", he won the Nanxi River. Perhaps the next step will be to unify the North and the South.
However, at this moment, Izuku has no time to be happy about King Mu's victory, nor is he proud of his foresight. Her mind was all on the Marquis of Wenchang's mansion.
Since King Mu was so resolute and killed Shen Yu's sister and Princess Fu Shen Xuan, I can almost imagine what kind of fate the Marquis of Wenchang's Mansion will be......
"Mother, I want to save the little marquis." Out of Xiu went to Rongjin Hall, and said to Mrs. Tai earnestly: "King Fu was defeated, Princess Fu was killed by King Mu, and the fate of the Marquis of Wenchang is in danger!" ”
Mrs. Tai glanced at Xiu lightly: "What are you anxious about?" Shen Yu's eldest brother is not a vegetarian, so he must have managed to protect himself. ”
"King Mu is even forced by King Fu to kill himself, how can he easily let go of the Marquis of Wenchang's Mansion?" Izumi urgently denied it: "Now that he has earned enough fame, he is not afraid that the world will say that he is ruthless, in case he wants the Marquis of Wenchang Mansion to accompany the funeral ......" At this point, Izumi has changed his face.
Mrs. Tai sighed helplessly: "Out of Xiu, your words and deeds now have surpassed the identity of the Yun family's head of the house. You chose to support Nie Qi and did not hesitate to fund him heavily, and now that he has succeeded, it should be the time for our Yun clan to have a good life. Since you know Nie Qi's character, you should also know that maybe one day the Yun family will be cooked by his rabbit and dog. At this juncture, you can't protect Shen Yu, if you disobey Nie Qi again, maybe the entire Yun clan will be finished. ”
"Mother!" When Chu Xiu heard this, tears filled her eyelashes, as if Shen Yu's death was just around the corner: "You said before, if I want to protect Shen Yu again, don't make small moves behind my back, just ask King Mu for a favor in person." ”
Hearing this, Mrs. Tai sighed again: "I said this three or four months ago, and I never thought that Nie Qi would be so ruthless and kill Nie Si's wife and children......" She looked at Chu Xiu with a look of pity: "If you want to tolerate this chess, we have to give it up." ”
Discarded! Out of Xiu's heart "groan". Abandoning Yun Xiangrong is equivalent to abandoning Shen Yu! "Mother!" She urgently wanted to make Mrs. Tai change her mind.
Mrs. Tai waved her hand: "You are now the head of the Yun family, and your words and deeds represent the attitude of the Yun family." I can't let you mess around with an outsider! Take advantage of the glory and future of the Yun Clan. ”
"Maybe now that King Mu is in high spirits, if he can pick a good day to mention Shen Yu's matter, he will agree?" Izuku was reluctant to give up: "Will you let me try?" ”
"Oh? How do you try it? Mrs. Tai looked curious.
In fact, Izumi was not completely sure, and now his mind was in chaos, so he had to blurt out indiscriminately: "I want to go to King Mu's side concubine Luanshu." ”
"Do you still think you have less sewage on your body?" Mrs. Tai was furious and vetoed: "You find Luan Shupan to make friends and ask her to save Shen Yu on your behalf, what will Nie Qi think?" He must think you're taking advantage of Luan's dreams! Luan Shu is his beloved woman, you use her, how can Nie Qi give up? Besides, Luan Shu will still think that you have a personal relationship with Shen Yu. She's notoriously thoughtful! ”
Mrs. Tai had never seen Luanshu, but she could inquire about her temperament clearly. It is true that Izuku has been in contact with Luan Shu a few times, and I have heard some things, and I also think that Luan Shu is a well-spoken but not very angry master. But King Mu just likes her, very much.
Izuxiu's mind was all messed up, and she finally couldn't help but "plop" and knelt down: "Mother! You also know that Xiao Hou Shen is my benefactor. In the Jingzhou Drunken Flower Building, if he hadn't rescued and taken me in, I would have been buried in the fire! Later, he also helped him repeatedly...... Besides, Xiang Rong is also the daughter of my Yun family. How can I see death and not be saved? Even if it wasn't out of my own private will, do you want the world to say that the Yun family can't even keep their daughter and uncle? ”
Mrs. Tai valued glory and face all her life, and after hearing Chuxiu's last words, she was silent. After a while, he said: "You are right, if the Marquis of Wenchang's Mansion is full of beheading, and wants to kill Shen Yu and him, the world will definitely say that my Yun clan is incompetent and can't keep my daughter and son-in-law." What's more, in the future, our relationship with Nie Qi will be made public, and it may attract criticism, saying that we sacrificed a concubine to seek the glory of the clan. ”
"That's exactly what I mean." Izumi hurriedly agreed.
"I was careless, I didn't expect that. I just thought I couldn't disobey Nie Qi at this time. Mrs. Tai seemed to be a little tired, pinched her eyebrows, and said, "I'm old, and I don't think things through." If you want to try it, go for it. ”
Speaking of this, Mrs. Tai sighed more and more: "If Ci'er is alive, she will definitely be able to come up with the best of both worlds...... Now that he is gone, he threw the stall to me, but he doesn't want to think about my age, what is the feeling of a white-haired person sending a black-haired person? Do you have the energy to work for the family? In the end, there was no lack of resentment in Mrs. Tai's words, resentment against her only son, Yunci.
Speaking of Yun Ci, the tears that Izumi had just held back finally fell uncontrollably. Yun Ci and Shen Yu, the two most important men in her life - a lover and a benefactor. She didn't want to watch them all die. Maybe the rumors of the world are right, and the men who are involved with her seem to have no good end.
Izuxiu still knelt, wiping away tears while assuring Mrs. Tai: "Don't worry, I will definitely protect the Yun clan on behalf of the Hou Ye." His spirit in the sky will also bless the glory of our clan. Every time I think of why Yun Ci died, and how she gave up love before she died, she felt that there was no love in life. She misunderstood him and hated him, but she didn't know his hard work, and exchanged her life for her life......
And when Izuku completely woke up, they were already separated from each other. If it weren't for avenging Yun Ci, if it wasn't for protecting the Yun family, she would really go to Huangquan Road to accompany him. Even now, this thought has not stopped, and it will spin in my mind from time to time.
"If Hou Ye is alive, he will definitely not die without help, looking at the death of Xiang Rong and Shen Xiao Hou Ye." Izuku sobbed.
"You're wrong." Mrs. Tai also couldn't hide her sadness: "If Ci'er is alive, he must put the interests of the family first...... This is his responsibility as a detached marquis. ”
The deceased is gone, and no one can be sure of what kind of attitude Yun Ci will have. But right now, Izumi is determined to save Shen Yu!
In order to reassure Mrs. Tai, I thought about it for a moment and told Mrs. Tai about her acquaintance with King Mu Nie Peihan. She and King Mu are old acquaintances! Maybe for the sake of this matter, King Mu will be more tolerant of her?
Sure enough, after Mrs. Tai learned that Chuxiu and King Mu were old acquaintances, she only said: "After hearing this, I seem to feel more at ease." You go, remember to put the Yun family's business first in everything. ”
*****
With the permission of Mrs. Tai, in addition to presiding over the middle feed, he was thinking about how to persuade King Mu, and even ignored the schoolwork of the prince Yuncheng. But the more he waited, the more anxious he became, he originally thought that King Mu would return to Yanlan City after getting the will of the Zen throne, but he didn't know that he went straight to Beixuan again! Secret Travel!
If it weren't for Yun Cheng's biological father Yun Tan sending someone to tell him, Izuku wouldn't know about it. It can be seen that Mu Wang's methods are becoming more and more superb, and he has been able to avoid the eyeliner arranged by the Yun family in various places.
Time passed bit by bit in waiting. By the time King Mu returned to Yanlan City from Beixuan, it was the middle of October of that year. I sent a post to ask for a meeting, but this time I waited for two days before I could reply - because there were too many people who came to meet King Mu!
Today is different from the past, after all, King Mu Nie Peihan is the future emperor, as long as he can climb a little relationship, he will come to the icing on the cake at this time, and tend to be inflammatory.
All of a sudden, King Mu's mansion was full of people. But King Mu still gave the Yun family face, and only let Xiu wait for five days to meet her, and the date was set for October 21.
Early in the morning, Chuxiu was just about to go out, and before anyone had stepped out of the threshold of Yunfu, the housekeeper Yun Zhong hurriedly pinched a letter and rushed to report: "Madam, the big thing is not good!" The third master is in prison in Jingzhou! ”
"Gone to jail?" Yun Xian has always acted steadily, how could he commit a crime and go to prison? Izuku hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"The third master is in Jingzhou...... Visit the Green House. In order to fight for a Qinglou woman to fight with someone, she missed and killed someone. Originally, we could settle it...... Later, I learned that the name of the deceased was 'Ming Huang', the second son of the right minister of the current dynasty, and the queen's own nephew. The Ming family did not give up on this, and the queen also went to cry in front of Emperor Nie, and the third master was imprisoned......"
