It was night, the smoke of gunpowder was overflowing, and the flames of war were raging.

The sound of galloping horses' hooves mingling with the sound of orderly armor clashing stirred the nerves of everyone's family.

Shangjing has been calm for nearly a hundred years, and it has not been such a big military rebellion for a long time, and the forbidden army cannot defend it, and the defense has fallen for thousands of miles.

Among the chaotic soldiers, some people screamed and fled in the chaos, some people closed the door and retreated at home, and there were also the old ministers of the imperial history who were dedicated to defending the royal family, and the weak troops of the soldiers and horses of the five cities surrounded the corners and alleys, trying to stop the strong soldiers and horses of King Huai with their mouths.

In fact, everyone knows that the capital has been defeated.

The last line of defense of the Beijing Division, the 100,000 forbidden troops of the Yong'an Hou Mansion retreated a hundred miles away, and it would take at least one night to reach the capital, and the 400,000 soldiers and horses of the Yong army were under the city.

It is a foregone conclusion that the capital will change its day.

Gu Jiaqing sat down tightly, his eyes swept over the face of the dejected soldiers and horses of the Five Cities, and quickly swept through the crowd, where the sword blade passed, a large number of black-armored guards gathered around him, and the lighting torches lit by the army reflected the entire night of Shangjing as if it were day.

He rode his horse to a certain place, and suddenly turned back and asked, "Where are the people who carry the king?" ”

The army entering Beijing was divided into two routes, attacking from both sides from the east and west city gates, and King Huai led a team of light cavalry as the vanguard, and the speed should be faster than him.

A soldier replied, "I heard the report from the front, and I have arrived at the palace." ”

King Huai's body was weak, and his energy was exhausted after two months of marching, and he couldn't afford to eat for the past two days, but he didn't hold back for the support of the army.

Gu Jiaqing nodded, and continued to ride his horse forward, the gate of the imperial city could be vaguely seen in front of him, and the guards behind him were all veterans who had fought for many years, and they had seen a lot in the world, but they were still inevitably shocked.

Although Yongjun is strong, it is the first time to do such a thing as rebellion, and they all start to get excited.

The Imperial Forest Army is already the person who is pregnant with the king, at this time, the gate of the palace is wide open, unimpeded, and the soldiers and horses swagger into the imperial city, all the way to the high Jinluan Palace.

Halfway through, I suddenly encountered two teams of men and horses fighting, one of them was wearing special chain mail, which was expensive, and I couldn't tell whose person it was, and was fighting with the Royal Forest Army.

Gu Jiaqing's gaze swept through the crowd, and suddenly settled on a certain place.

The flawless skin on his face, as well as the delicate and slender figure under the armor...... It's a woman.

He vaguely heard someone shouting "Her Royal Highness the Princess", and thought to himself: Emperor Cheng has no children, and there is only one daughter under his knees, named Princess Zhaoyang.

The Imperial Forest Army, which guards the royal family, is facing the only orthodoxy of the royal family at the moment, which is fresh enough.

Someone asked him: "General, do you care?" ”

Gu Jiaqing glanced at it with interest, continued to move forward, and said as he walked: "No matter, it is important to kill the emperor." ”

Everything went on very quickly, and King Huai had been dormant in the northwest for many years, and he was very well prepared.

Although there were some small accidents on the way, King Huai fainted due to his weak body, but overall it was quite smooth.

At the end of the year, there was still a period of time before dawn, he came out of the Jinluan Palace, and led his troops to deal with a small group of soldiers in the West Palace.

When he returned to the front of the Jinluan Palace, the people below reported that the bodies of Emperor Cheng and the Queen Mother were gone, and Gu Jiaqing remembered the delicate face that he had seen in the chaotic army just now, and he felt two points of interest in hindsight.

The sky will be bright, everything will settle, fireworks will be rekindled in the distance of the imperial city, and a new day will begin.

Gu Jiaqing opened his eyes in the bed curtain, only to see the light outside the window was hazy, and the green tent roof was gently swaying, as if shrouded in fog.

He sat up, his voice hoarse as he had just woken up, "What time is it?" ”

Thirteen replied under the corridor: "Back to the general, it's a moment." ”

……

Wei Yu woke up in his sleep, clutching his chest and gasping violently.

It seems that you can still see the burning flames of hunting in front of you, and the screams and cries in your ears are endless, and the Black Jiayong Army is like water ants on the river on a rainy day, densely covering the entire palace.

Grandmother, Father, Dawn...... And many, many more, lying in pools of blood, the night was so long that it seemed that they would never wait for the dawn.

"What time is it?" She asked.

"It's been a minute, why did Your Highness wake up?" Dawn lifted the curtain and approached the bed, and was startled when she saw her sweating profusely and her face full of panic.

Hurriedly wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief, and poured hot water again, "Your Highness, what's the matter?" The good ones have nightmares again, could it be that there are still evil violations? Dawn looked at her pale face and was anxious.

Wei Yu took a sip of hot water, feeling the warmth flowing from his throat into his abdomen, comforting his viscera, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

It wasn't a nightmare, it was the night of the 23rd year of Jiayuan's rebellion......

She knew in her heart where this nightmare came from, the Shangsi Festival was approaching, and the day in the dream was getting closer and closer.

But she only shook her head, "It's okay. I remember yesterday Yingying handed over the letter to the palace, what did she say? ”

Yesterday, after she saw Xiang Siyuan, she soaked in Cining Palace to accompany the Queen Mother, and only returned to Hanzhang Hall in the middle of the night to freshen up, and she dealt with it with a heart all day long, and finally she really didn't have the strength to listen carefully to the things outside the palace, and only vaguely knew that the plan was not going well.

The group leader said that there was something wrong with the Zhou family, and the princess and her plan had been known by Commander Meng. Later, she will enter the palace to talk to her master in detail. ”

Wei Yu nodded and stood up, although it was not yet dawn, she didn't have the heart to sleep anymore.

Huaiwang, Yongjun and the Jiang family, these names were circling around in her mind.

King Huai is weak and has no real power in his hands, how did he continue to say that the Jiang family and the Zhenbei General's Mansion helped him rebel?

The Jiang family can still think that she was moved by King Huai's heavy profits, but the generation of Emperor Wu in the Zhenbei General's Mansion has been guarding the border for more than 30 years, and she is loyal, unlike people who will be moved by glory and wealth.

Moreover, depending on the prestige of the care sign, he would not have to wait until five years later when his life was in danger.

In his previous life, Gu Zheng died five years later on the eve of the Northwest Army, on the eve of the army's start, he died at home due to a recurrence of old injuries, and the Northwest was in turmoil for a while.

Gu Zheng has been loyal all his life, why did he help King Huai rebel when he was about to die? Not to mention ruining his reputation, he didn't get any benefits, it's really strange.

Wei Yu squeezed the quilt tightly, and a sense of panic and urgency appeared in his heart.

She has been reborn for half a month, but she still doesn't know anything about King Huai's schemes, if this continues, will she really be able to stop the rebellion after five years?

According to the development of this situation, it will take at least half a year for Xiang Siyuan to really gain a firm foothold in the DPRK and China, which is too slow.

No way...... You have to think of a way......

……

"You mean, Dali Temple intends to protect Jiang San and prevent the Zhou family from filing a complaint? It shouldn't be. ”

In the Xinuan Pavilion of Hanzhang Palace, Wei Yu was surprised that he had no appetite for the kidney bean roll that he had only eaten on the plate in his hand.

In ancient times, Qingliusu and the Jiang family were incompatible, and most of the Dali Temple went up to Zhengqing to the small officials, most of them came from Du Xiangmen, and they were serious Qingliu faction, why should they shield a Jiang Pei?

Meng Yingying frowned and analyzed: "Xu is afraid of the power of the Jiang Mansion? ”

"The little official may be afraid of the Jiang family, but Zheng Xiao is in a high position, and he has disposed of many dignitaries and dignitaries over the years, so it is impossible to be afraid of the little Jiang Pei."

There's something strange about it.

"It's okay, my eldest brother has already said that he will solve this matter, he is reliable, you can rest assured." Meng Yingying grabbed her arm, her face full of relaxation.

After Meng Che promised to take over this matter yesterday, the boredom in her heart was swept away, she slept sweetly last night, and walked briskly today.

Wei Yu shook his head and said: "I am naturally relieved that your eldest brother is doing things, but I am afraid that the affairs of the Jiang family are not simple, and I must know why." ”

Meng Yingying pursed her lips and muttered in a low voice, "Why do you say the same thing as my brother?" ”

Wei Yu was stunned, "Your eldest brother also knows the inside story of the Jiang family?" ”

"Yes, it's just that his mouth is very tight, and he said that it is a big matter, and he refuses to say it after asking him for a long time yesterday."

This......

The eldest princess of Yongning has been raised under the knees of the queen mother since she was a child, and the Meng Mansion and her party are all iron-clad royalists, and the affairs of the Jiang Mansion not only involve Dali Temple, but even the Meng Mansion knows some inside information, and there are only two people in the world who can move these two forces.

One of her fathers is now the emperor, and the other is the queen mother.

The Queen Mother has ignored the world for many years, so is it her father who is protecting Jiang Mansion?

The Jiang family has been domineering for many years, and its power has spread all over the government and the opposition, and it already has the posture of being a high-ranking master, her father not only did not suppress it, but even helped to abuse it, and the Jiang family's holy family is so long? Father never doubted Jiang Song's intentions?

In his previous life, Jiang Song was able to buy the guards guarding the city to misreport the military situation on the front line, which led to the failure of the Yong'an Marquis Mansion to transfer troops, and it is difficult to ensure that it is not the result of indulgence.

"No! It can't go on like this. ”

Wei Yu's heart was anxious, and he threw down the pastry in his hand and stood up.

Moving a Jiang San only hurts a little fur, and it is still so difficult, so that the Year of the Monkey and Ma Yue can bring down a behemoth like the Jiang family?

"Zhaoyang, what's wrong with you?" Meng Yingying grabbed her hand and looked at her that something was wrong, "How can a Jiang Pei let you come here?" Do you really care that much about the rumors? ”

Wei Yu frowned, and said annoyedly: "I don't care......" A bright light flashed in her mind, "What is the direction of the wind in the city now?" ”

"Although Jiang Pei has not been inspected, but because the Dali Temple is closed and not tried, the people in the city are more and more convinced that Zhou's grievances are true, and now everyone is talking about Jiang Pei after dinner, and there are few people who talk about you and Xiang Siyuan."

That's it!

Gossip! The power of the people's will and voice cannot be underestimated.

Wei Yu couldn't help but calm down a little.

It was because she was too anxious, and it was because she was disturbed by that dream in the morning, so she panicked and forgot all her original plans.

She had planned to alarm the Inspectorate for impeachment through rumors, muddy the water, and explore the reality of the Jiang family. Although the plan is now blocked, it is just the inaction of Dali Temple, and it can't be removed from Jiang San in time, the rumors still spread, and most of the troubles on Xiang Siyuan's side have been solved.

The situation was far better than she had imagined.

Now that the plan has already been executed, it is better to let go of your hands and make a big fuss, which is more muddy than water.

After all, the contradiction between the Qingliu and the Jiang Mansion has existed for a long time, and the dark tide of partisan disputes is surging, so why not directly find out?

The Jiang Mansion had no time to invite people to buy people's hearts, and by the way, let the Manchu Dynasty civil and military help her watch Jiang Mansion's every move together, wouldn't it be more convenient and thoughtful than crossing the river blindfolded and touching the stones? !

She made up her mind, squeezed Meng Yingying's hand and said softly: "Yingying, let Zhou's affairs go first, I still have other things to entrust you." ”

"The Jiang family rumored that there were rumors between me and Xiang Siyuan, and there must be traces of everything you do, you ask Meng Che to help me check it privately, and it is best to hold on to the real evidence."

Meng Yingying was very worried when she saw her for a while, "This is a trivial matter, but I don't think you are right today, what's wrong?" ”

Wei Yu was stunned, and she also knew that her performance was a little unusual, she pondered for a moment, and said tentatively: "I had a nightmare last night, and I dreamed of ......"

As soon as she spoke, a familiar feeling of dizziness hit her brain again, and she took two steps back, took a deep breath, and braced herself against the circle chair behind her.

It doesn't seem to work to talk about it sideways.

She slid down on the chair and immediately changed her words, "I dreamed that Concubine Shu bullied me with rumors, and the dream was so true that it frightened me. ”
