Wei Xiang was sitting at home reading the newspapers from all over the world, and suddenly his right eyelid jumped a few times. He stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes, and somehow a sense of foreboding appeared in his heart, so he put down the bamboo slip, looked out of the door in a trance.

Mrs. Wei sat on the side and mended her clothes, and when she saw him like this, she didn't care, she brushed the sewn clothes, leaned over and draped them on him, and said, "Raise your arm." Wei Xiangyi raised his arms and let his wife put on his clothes. Mrs. Wei looked at it, showed a satisfied smile, and said, "It still fits perfectly." ”

Wei Xiang didn't seem to hear it, and still raised his arms. Mrs. Wei felt amused, patted his arm, and said angrily, "How do you look like a wooden man." ”

Wei Xiang let out an "ah", and after a while he came to his senses, smiled awkwardly, and lowered his arms.

"What are you thinking?" Mrs. Wei asked.

Wei Xiangsi pondered for a while: "I didn't think about anything, I just felt empty in my heart." ”

Mrs. Wei snorted, stopped asking, dusted off his clothes, and said, "It's cold, just wear this." ”

Wei Xiang nodded, picked up the report and looked at it again. Suddenly, he put down the bamboo slip, tilted his head and listened for a while, his expression gradually becoming serious.

Mrs. Wei looked curious and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Wei Xiang said: "You can hear the noise in the street. ”

Mrs. Wei listened for a while: "It seems that there is a noise." ”

Wei Xiang was worried: "After Shuo Fang's ten prisoners were brought to justice, the Huo family has not stopped. I'm worried that the Huo family doesn't know what to do and does something rebellious. ”

"Has his family done less of the rebellious things? Raise the dead and train the armoured soldiers in private. It's all a crime of killing the head. Mrs. Wei pursed her lips with a look of disdain.

"How do you know?" Wei Xiang looked surprised.

Mrs. Wei snorted dissatisfiedly and said, "You think I don't hear anything outside the window." Some of our like-minded ladies also get together from time to time, and we don't know anything. ”

"This is not good, women are not allowed to interfere in politics." Wei Xiang shook his head.

Mrs. Wei was not happy, and leaned close to him and shouted angrily: "Who is in politics?" Am I in politics? ”

Wei Xiang hurriedly turned sideways, moved away from her, and argued: "I'm reminding you that you can't tell the truth. ”

At this time, he seemed to hear something again, motioned to his wife to be silent, listened carefully for a while, and muttered, "No, I want to go out and have a look." Then he shouted outside the door: "Cover, cover." ”

After a while, someone outside the door answered, "Coming, coming." I saw Gai hurriedly rush into the house, and arched his hand: "What does the prime minister command?" ”

Wei Xiang shouted and fell into deep thought, his mind didn't turn back for a while, and he was stunned for a moment before he said: "I think there is some chaos on the street, you go and see what is going on." ”

He made a promise, turned around to leave, and was stopped again. Wei Xiang said: "You must find out what's going on, go and go back quickly." ”

After he got up and went out of the door, Wei Xiang didn't have the heart to look at the music anymore, holding a roll of bamboo slips in his hand and staring blankly at the door.

Mrs. Wei looked at him in a trance, and couldn't help but ask, "What are you worried about?" ”

Wei Xiang was absent-minded, and said to himself: "Oh, the dead soldiers and armor soldiers of Huo Mansion you just mentioned have all been cleaned up by Shi Gao. ”

"Then why didn't the emperor clean up the Huo family?" Mrs. Wei asked puzzled.

"You don't understand this, the general has the merit of supporting the establishment, and the emperor does not want to be called ungrateful. However, at the moment when the emperor is in power, wouldn't it be good for the Huo family to do their duty as a courtier. But Huo's still refuses to relent, what do you say. Before, this pair of monarchs and ministers had nothing to do with each other, which was a word forbearance. However, if you can endure it for a while, you can't endure it for a lifetime, and this matter will eventually come to an end. ”

"You say a word forbearance, is it the emperor, or the Huo family." Mrs. Wei didn't understand.

"It's all the same." Wei Xiang's gaze fell to the ground and said quietly.

As the two were talking, they pushed the door in panting, and regardless of etiquette, they sat on the ground with their butts on their butts, leaned over and yelled, "The street is in chaos." ”

"What's the mess?" Wei Xiang was flustered for a while, and he didn't care about his image, he knelt on his knees and moved forward, and his voice was trembling when he asked.

Gai said: "Every intersection on the street is guarded by black-clothed soldiers, saying that they are under the orders of Da Sima. There are still people watching the excitement on the street, and some scoundrels and evil young people are even more energetic, shouting with the Huo Mansion family Ding, 'Get rid of the traitorous ministers, clean the monarch's side, and settle the world'. ”

"Get rid of traitors. Who is the traitor? Mrs. Wei asked confusedly.

"I don't know." Gai shook his head. He thought for a while, looked at Wei Xiang, seemed unsure, and said hesitantly: "I won't talk about the prime minister." ”

"Nonsense, bold, get out." Mrs. Wei became angry when she heard this, and shouted angrily at the case.

Gai was frightened, and quickly knelt on the ground, and said: "Little nonsense, the little one will go to the kitchen, and the little one will go to the kitchen." With that, he got up and walked backwards to the door, bowed, and disappeared in an instant.

Wei Xiang glanced at his wife dissatisfiedly and said, "Why are you scaring him?" ”

Mrs. Wei also felt that she was impatient at this time, and her face was ashamed and silent.

"Except for traitors, clear the king's side, and settle the world." Wei Xiang frowned and whispered, with a strange expression on his face.

"Could it really be you?" Mrs. Wei said worriedly.

"Me? Traitor? Wei Xiang felt ridiculous and couldn't help but laugh a few times.

The more Mrs. Wei thought about it, the more worried she became, and she couldn't help but lean in front of Wei Xiang, and said with a nervous expression: "You better find a place to hide." ”

"Why?"

"Except for traitors, Qingjun's side. I'm afraid that's you. Mrs. Wei sat on the side of the desk, her hands on her knees, her face full of sorrow.

"Ridiculous." Although Wei Xiang said this, he actually thought in his heart that if the Huo family rebelled, he would inevitably harm him.

"The Huo family finally couldn't help but rebel, but I don't know where the Son of Heaven is now." As he spoke, he stood up, straightened his clothes, and said with a serious expression: "The Huo family is plotting rebellion, Chang'an is in chaos, I am the prime minister, and I should take the peace and security of the country and the people as my own responsibility, how can I sit idly by." The three generations of the Huo family have been blessed by heaven and have been honored as marquises, which is not unhonorable. Now that he is a little uncaught, he actually committed a rebellion, and the soldiers met each other, how could he have the face to see the heroic spirit of the champion Hou and the general,——"

"Ouch, what are you doing rambling, hurry up and think of a way, how to do it." Mrs. Wei also stood up, and when she saw that he was still unhurried, she interrupted him anxiously.

"There is always a way, I don't believe that the Huo family can turn the sky upside down." Wei Xiang muttered, removing the saber from the wall.

"You're going to fight them." Mrs. Wei's face turned white.

"It's not impossible." Wei Xiang walked to the door, put the saber on the ground, sat down and put on his shoes.

Mrs. Wei was really anxious, stepped forward and picked up his sword, and shouted: "You are still fighting at this age, aren't you killing yourself?" Ahh

When Wei Xiang saw this scene, he was moved in his heart and comforted: "As the prime minister, I am strategizing, how can I fight, just defend myself." He put on his shoes, stood up, and held out his hand to signal Madame to give him the sword.

Mrs. Wei knew that she couldn't stop him, so she choked up and said, "If you want to go out, bring all the family members in the house, so that you can take care of it." ”

Wei Xiang stared at her, his eyes were full of affection, for a long time, he smiled slightly, and said: "I am the prime minister, and I can order the forbidden army in the capital, so you don't have to worry about me." But you, it's dangerous if the rebels rush in. I'll cover you up and find a safe place to take refuge. Then he commanded the maid to go and call the cover.

Before the words fell, Gai Qi and a group of family members had already come to the front. Wei Xiang looked at them, showed a relieved smile, and advised, "You must protect your lady thoroughly." ”

Gai looked solemn and arched his hand: "Gai Qi has to protect his wife even if he fights for his life." ”

Wei Xiang patted him on the shoulder, snatched the saber from his wife's hand, and walked towards the door without looking back.

The Prime Minister's Mansion is at the south end of Zhangtai Street, the west gate is facing the east gate of Weiyang Palace, adjacent to Changle Palace to the east, and the arsenal of the imperial court to store ordnance is to the north.

When Wei Xiang walked out of the west gate, he leaned on a big tree and looked towards Weiyang Palace. Suddenly, he felt someone behind him tap him on the shoulder, and his heart was shocked, he pulled out his sword with a swish, quickly turned around, and when he saw the person clearly, he couldn't help but scream "ouch".
