In the seventh year of Chengde, for the great Zhou He surnamed Jiangshan, it was the beginning of a turmoil, and it was also the outbreak of many years of accumulation, the urgent guild raised the anti-flag, crusaded against the text of the major states and counties, the imperial court in charge of the Empress Dowager Wei tried its best to suppress the news of the outbreak of civil strife, in Chang'an City, except for the ignorant children, almost everyone was talking about the army rising in Hengzhou, and Zhu Ziyu, the prince who was elected as the king of Hengzhou by the rebels, discussed whether Emperor Suzong usurped the throne and who was the real orthodoxy.

Of course, the war will not immediately affect Chang'an, so people don't talk about it with too much anxiety, and even the hidden guilds in Chang'an City secretly spread the news that Hengzhou and other places will promote good governance - many of the land of the noble land tyrants will be redistributed to the common people, and the king of Hengzhou guarantees that all the people under his rule will not have to worry about food and clothing, nor will they bear the pain of heavy endowment.

Although compared with the local states and counties, whether it is the heavy labor of the kiln or the annexation of land, Jingzhao Mansion is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and the bullying of the people is much lighter, however, in Chang'an City, in fact, there are many poor people who have no food and clothing, and they can only lie at home and wait for death if they accidentally suffer from the cold, these poor people, of course, will not support the Empress Dowager Wei, who does not care about their life and death, and then instigated by the Urgent Guild, many of them are interested in taking refuge in Hengzhou - especially those whose sons and nephews are forced to conquer the kiln service, A poor family who was tired and lost their lives.

Of course, Empress Dowager Wei also realized that there were people in Chang'an City who were inciting the people's hearts and ordered to strictly inspect the Guild congregation, but all the displaced people were found to be executed according to the rebellion, but such a severe crackdown aroused more resentment among the people at the bottom, and there was such a family, intending to be arrested in exile, and the grandfather in his sixties saw his children and grandchildren being killed on the spot, and even the infant grandson was killed by the officers and soldiers, shouting "Wei's is not dead, the world is not peaceful"!

Take the initiative to crash into the blades of officers and soldiers, and you will not be blind!

Many officials with a conscience and justice led by Wang Huaizhun have gone to the court, begging the empress dowager to forgive those poor people who have no livelihood and have been incited by the bandits to join Hengzhou, pointing out the root cause of the turmoil, and calling for the abolition of the kiln decree and the reduction of taxes on the people.

Of course, Empress Dowager Wei was unwilling, but the situation also forced her to have no choice, although the banner of the Guild was to maintain orthodoxy, but the real spearhead was to wait for maladministration, if in such a situation, she still insisted on the kiln order, not only those civilians would be interested in Hengzhou, but also some of the courtiers of the clan might also have different intentions.

Therefore, after more than ten days of bloody killings, the Empress Dowager Wei finally did not let the atmosphere of terror continue to expand, and while prohibiting exile, she also carried out a gentle policy, such as not holding the displaced people accountable, but appeasing and indoctrination, and such as abolishing the kiln order, strictly prohibiting local nobles from bullying the people, lightly reducing taxes, and so on, but many courtiers such as Yuan Dezhi knew in their hearts that such a favorable policy could not really be implemented in place, and it was nothing more than a means for the Empress Dowager Wei to appease people's hearts.

Although the history of bandit riots is not unprecedented, if it were not for the corruption of the regime to a certain extent, this kind of reckless rebellion would not be possible to respond to all calls or even capture many cities with thunderous momentum, directly threatening the rule of the central government, and the accumulated evils caused by decades could not be banned because of the order of the Empress Dowager Wei, not to mention that the Empress Dowager Wei actually did not have such a determination at all.

Although the rebellion of the Urgent Guild made her angry and had to suspend some kind of attempt, but in the eyes of the Empress Dowager Wei, it was only a matter of time before the rebellion was quelled, she firmly believed that she was just caught off guard by the Urgent Guild, as long as the forbidden army was mobilized to Hengzhou, everything would be quelled, and all the tolerance and compromise made now would have the opportunity to "set things right" in the future, all she needed was a respite, and there was no need to really eradicate the maladministration - on the power field, Empress Dowager Wei was already standing at the top, She didn't rule the people of Li at all in her eyes, the so-called people's nobility and gentlemen's lightness were just a banner to buy people's hearts in the eyes of Empress Dowager Wei, just whitewashed.

In any case, no matter how tense the situation is, Chengde's seven years of spring return to the earth has not been delayed, it seems that the warmth is even more rapid than in previous years.

However, in a short distance, Yingyang Zhenren was actually woken up by the maidservant, helped out of the carriage, and was sunburned by the spring sun, the warm breeze fluttered, not only did not lift her spirit, but seemed to be more tired, she couldn't help but raise her hand to press her forehead, she didn't want to sit on her shoulders anymore, and was willing to walk to the back house of Yuwang's mansion.

There is no admirable scenery in the corridor, but occasionally the peach of the low wall still makes Yingyang's mood wide, and I can't help but take a few more looks, reminiscing about the courtyard wall, which courtyard is it, and how many beautiful things have been left.

Year after year, although it has not been sparsely renovated, but those green brick gaps, in the end can not hide the mottled years, these represent the traces of obsolescence, Yingyang looks at the eyes but feels very gentle, she remembered that in fact, when she was young, she did not like the beautiful garden so much, but loved to linger between the walls, because there will be weeds and moss here, avoiding human growth, telling a long time.

Because no one watched it, it would not be cleared on time, and the seemingly boring corridor can truly reflect the old mansion.

But this quiet and simple was suddenly interrupted by the noise.

A servant girl, her face was covered with blood, she was held by two strong servants, forcing her to walk out, the servant girl let out a loud cry, when she saw Yingyang, it was more like seeing the last life-saving straw, and she didn't know where the strength came from, she actually got rid of the detention of the servant, and even crawled forward, hurriedly opened the cloak and scattered, so that Yingyang could see her face clearly: "Real person, real person, the maid is Tang Tang, please save the maid!" ”

Yingyang was taken aback, because she couldn't recognize this maid at all, and when it came to the name of Tang Tang, she gave it to her personally.

"What's going on?" Shen Hook, the real person's henchman and maidservant, has already spoken out to question.

The servant was quite domineering, and raised her face high: "This cheap maid, without the permission of the lady, dared to send soup and water to Langjun's study, and the lady ordered it to be sold, and the real person is the aunt and grandmother of the lady, and she will not excuse this cheap maid!" ”

It turns out that this servant is Yingyang's nephew's nephew He Ji's wife Yang's companion room, because He Ji's mother Qian is from an ordinary background, and her temperament is also very gentle, so she was held hostage by the daughter-in-law of the Quanchen family.

Before Yingyang could speak, Shen Hook was already furious, and as soon as he made a move, he pinched the throat of the servant, and reprimanded coldly: "Even your master Yang Niangzi is just a real grandchild, a mere servant, and he dares to make a big fuss!" ”

"Let her go."

Yingyang Zhenren said these three words, but instead of rushing to Shen Hook, but to another servant woman who was still holding Tang Tang, this woman saw that her "colleague" had been pinched by Shen Hook and her life and death were unknown, so she was so frightened that she immediately let go of Tang Tang and paralyzed aside.

Tang Tang cried bitterly: "Real person, it's not that the maid violated the family rules, it was Lang Jun who ordered the maid to send the maid to the inner kitchen to present the sobering soup, and the maid dared to disobey the order?" Unexpectedly, he happened to meet the lady, not only scratched the maid's face, but even sold the maid to a prostitute. ”

Yingyang sighed deeply, Tang Tang is only thirteen this year, because his mother is He Ji's nurse, so he was selected as a servant, but he was so cruel by the Yang family!

Tang Tang's great-grandmother is even the current son of King Yu, that is, the eldest brother of Yingyang Zhenren!

Although there is a difference between respect and inferiority, but for this kind of servant, there will be more or less preferential treatment, and the discord between He Ji and the Yang family is not at all the cause of such a servant as Tang Tang, thinking that when this girl was born, he even presided over the three baptism ceremonies for her, and later gave her a name, of course, Yingyang Zhenren would not sit back and watch Tang Tang be killed by the Yang family no matter what.

She asked Shen Hook to help Tang Tang up, and looked at the servant who was paralyzed on the side, but obviously could still speak: "How much fault did Tang Tang make to be punished so severely by the Yang family." ”

"Tang Tang violated the family rules set by the lady......"

"I don't know, when will it be the Yang family's turn to formulate the family rules of the Yu Wangfu?" Yingyang Zhenren sneered: "Go back and tell your master, don't think that Yang Huaiyi is now about to take charge of the army, she dares to do whatever she wants, in the palace of King Yu, there has never been an evil of mutilating innocents, although she is the master, but she can't drive away the servants at will!" ”
