Fairy Road Return [comprehensive]
Chapter 72 The Subjugated Empress Dowager
The yellow leaves in autumn fell from the trees, made several circles in the air and in the wind, and fell to the ground flutteringly.There was not a single person to be seen on the huge streets of the capital, the shops all over the street were closed tightly, and the common people hid at home, secretly peeking out from behind the cracks in the doors.Some big families also closed their gates, and the lords of each family arranged for servants to guard behind the gates with various weapons.
Being secretly hated by Sima Yan, the family of the five great rotten ministers in Daqi, but the masters of the five families are still there. Although they don't have many soldiers, they are enough to protect their own family. And they have already inquired clearly that Pei Zhen is not Killing innocent people indiscriminately, as long as they donate some money at that time, they can save their lives if they think about it.
In Sima Taifu's mansion, all the servants are guarding the back door with weapons, and there are five hundred soldiers standing in the yard of the front door. These are the soldiers of the Sima family. Of course, they are all transferred from the army, so there is no guard in the palace. All the soldiers in Qi were either captured by the rebel army when they confronted the rebel army before, or they were all in the homes of the ministers.
Sima Jiang sat steadily in the front hall. He had a round face. When he was young, he often gave people the impression of a boyish face. This was also the point that he was not satisfied with his appearance. He has a beard, which makes him look a lot more dignified.Of course, even if he doesn't grow a beard now, people all over the world dare not underestimate him.
At this moment, with a straight face, he was planning in his mind how to keep the Sima family after the rebel army entered the city, and give the Sima family a little too much time. Sooner or later, the Sima family would recover in the new dynasty.
From the beginning to the end, he never thought of his daughter and grandson in the palace.
Little Luo was in the main courtyard, restraining her daughters-in-law and grandchildren, her youngest son was in the main courtyard to appease them, the eldest and second sons were in the front hall, staying with Sima Jiang.
She doesn't know the external form, but she just needs to believe in her husband. Her husband is the supreme god in her heart. He loves and protects her, and all her glory comes from him.
Thinking of the step-empress dowager in the palace, Xiao Luo sneered. If it was only Sima Yan, the rebel leader might keep her, but with that brat Yanfeng, would the rebels dare to keep the last emperor of the previous dynasty?And would a mother be willing to let her son die?So their mother and child are dead, but what does that matter to her?
Sima Hui and Sima Yao, the actual eldest son and second son of the Sima family, have all forgotten that Sima Huang, who died eight years ago, is the real eldest son of the Sima family.
"Brother, in the palace..." Sima Yao poked his brother and whispered in his ear.
Sima Hui's eyes darkened, and he patted Sima Yao, "Our family is in danger, so don't worry about the royal affairs." After a pause, he lowered his voice, "I know you sympathize with Eldest Sister, but Eldest Sister is now Yan. Empress Dowager, she is no longer a member of our Sima family, and the rebels will not let their mother and child go."
"It's impossible for us to pay the Sima family for a married daughter and nephew. Second brother, I know you have a kind heart, but you can score points at any time." Before Sima Hui finished speaking, Sima Yao fell silent.
The yard was actually very quiet. Although the voices of the two brothers were quiet, Sima Jiang could hear them all.
Sima Jiang sighed secretly in his heart, he had held the power to hold the emperor hostage in his life, and the Sima family had a great reputation, now is the most dangerous time for the Sima family.
Thinking of the previous considerations, he was relieved. Most of the Sima family's wealth could not be kept, but it didn't matter, he had already transferred part of it, and the Sima family would make a comeback sooner or later.
After the establishment of the new dynasty, the Sima family will be forgotten in 20 years. At that time, it is time for his grandson to stand up, and the Sima family will restore its glory sooner or later.
Thinking of Sima Huang and Sima Yan, Sima Jiang's heart became even harder. People are biased. For the Sima family, it is their blessing to sacrifice one or two descendants.
The Cui family, the Lou family and other four families are even more indifferent. The empress dowager and the emperor in the palace are not from their family. Their own daughter has been taken back after the death of Emperor Qi Yuan half a year ago, and now they are planning to marry another .But to catch up with this extraordinary period, the marriage will be postponed, just as the new dynasty is established, they can still send their own daughters, so as not to be liquidated.
However, Lou Chang is a general, and he has the military power in Daqi, so the Lou family has the most soldiers and horses, occupying an entire street outside the Lou family.
Five miles away from the west gate of the capital, a large army rushed towards the direction of the capital. The leader was a man over [-] years old. His two lieutenants each had a flag on their heads, and there was a distinctive big character on the flag-Pei.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the army came to the gate of the west city, and Pei Jin stopped his horse with a whip.
The city gate was wide open, and there was no one on the top of the tower and the gate of the city.
"Boss, let's go in and find out." The first lieutenant general was interrupted by Pei Jin, "Wait a minute, don't worry." Pei Zhen rubbed his chin and looked at the city gate with great interest.
Several counselors in the army came forward immediately, and one of them said: "Commander, I'm afraid the plan will be empty."
But one person said: "It's unlikely, the common people are hiding in their houses, our reputation along the way is not that of people who kill common people indiscriminately, but Cui Ming, Sima Jiang and others are afraid to sit at home and wait for us to go with them." negotiation."
Pei Zhen's face darkened, and he exuded an aura of "I'm not happy". He didn't like Sima Jiang, Cui Ming and other five moth officials who disturbed the court, but sometimes he had to let some people go for certain benefits.
"Hmph, negotiation? What qualifications do they have?" Pei Jin said in a deep voice.
Immediately, the deputy general led a group of people and rushed into the city. It was indeed an empty city plan, and there was no one there. However, the deputy general wandered around the street closest to the city gate. There was no one on the street, but there were obviously people behind the closed doors. Peeping, the deputy general went directly to a common people's house.
"Open the door!" The deputy general said loudly, "Come out, otherwise don't blame the general for being rude."
The people behind the door opened the door tremblingly, and then walked out tremblingly, trembling all over, "Governor, you, please tell me."
The deputy general not only inquired about this person, but contacted and inquired about other families, and finally said when he left: "Don't worry, I don't eat human flesh, and I am not interested in your family background. The city will return to normal in a few days, and you can Live normally."
The deputy general led his troops back to the gate of the city, and waved a flag, "Commander, there is nothing unusual, you can come in!"
Pei Zhen and his party rode slowly into the city, but before coming to the capital, Pei Zhen had discussed with the counselors and others. The government of Qi State had always been in the hands of courtiers, so after they entered the city, they sent The army surrounded the mansions of the five great moth officials, and of course the other officials' mansions would not let them go.
The first one surrounded by the army was the Louchang Mansion. They clashed with more than 1000 soldiers outside the Lou's Mansion, but there were more Pei's troops, and the Lou's couldn't resist.
In the end, the army surrounding Lou's family was replaced by Pei's army. At this time, Lou Chang quickly resorted to his trump card. He surrendered to Pei Jin, and his sincerity was 80.00% of the property of Lou's family. He only asked Pei Zhen to let them go.
Killing chickens to warn monkeys, with Lou's chicken, the other four moth families quickly surrendered. Given their good attitude, although they were also treated as prisoners, the soldiers did not touch them.
After taking care of the officials left over from Daqi in the city, only the palace is left, and soldiers have already visited the palace, the gate of the palace is wide open, and there is no one there.
Pei Jin said coldly: "Naturally, there is no one there, and everyone is in the government offices of the major officials."
Counselor [-] and Lieutenant General [-] almost said in unison: "The little emperor is also pitiful, and the empress dowager is also pitiful. But Empress Dowager Sima is Sima Jiang's daughter, and the Sima family didn't mention the empress dowager at all just now."
At this time, Pei Zhen and others were resting in the most luxurious restaurant in the capital in the past, and the army took over the defense of the capital in an all-round way. Pei Zhen and Pei's army were safe, and they were waiting to move into the palace.
Pei Zhen didn't speak, and the three counselors, the lieutenant general, and other generals started a discussion about Empress Dowager Sima and the little emperor.
It was past noon at this time, and Pei Yu ordered in a deep voice: "Let the store serve lunch, and then enter the palace after eating and drinking enough." After that, he will not leave the palace again for a long time, his goal Isn't it just to become the master of that palace?
At the gate of the palace, on the tower, Yunyao and the others who had been waiting all morning were also eating lunch. The lunch was still simple vegetable porridge, which was made by the eunuchs Wang Sheng and Gao Qi when they returned to Fenglai Palace, and then brought it over .
"Your Majesty, the city is extremely noisy this morning. The rebels have already entered the city. They didn't enter the palace immediately. They should have gone to take care of those ministers. Do you think the rebels will let Cheng Cui and others go?"
Wei Huanling also had nowhere to go, so he just followed Yunyao. She didn't know what the empress dowager was going to do, but she thought that Yunyao was the empress dowager of Daqi, Yanfeng was the emperor, and according to the news they usually heard Well, the leader of the rebel army is not a bloodthirsty person, so he may not want their lives. In short, she is with the empress dowager, and it is better to live and die with them than to be alone and suffer insults at that time.
Yun Yao raised her eyelids, and thought carefully about the actions of Cui Cheng and others. The people in the world are full of complaints, and the main responsibility lies with them, but they are not the executors. These people are old and cunning, as long as they have enough conditions to negotiate with Pei Zhen , Pei Jin will definitely not want their lives, as long as their lives are alive, keep the green hills, even if there is no firewood!What's more, I'm afraid that Pei Yi will have a strange thought in his heart, that is, without Prime Minister Cui's five people making trouble, how could he climb to the top of imperial power today?
"No, even if Pei Jin is liquidated, it is only possible to take the lives of the five members of Prime Minister Cui. As for what happens to the five families of the Cui family, it depends on the sincerity of Cheng Cui and others to surrender to Pei Jin." Yun Yao sneered: " But don't worry, I won't let them go, I will make the five of them utterly immortal, and make their lives worse than death."
The ancient people's concept of inheritance only recognized the descendants of their own surnames, not Cui, Sima, Zhao, Cai, Lou, or their descendants.
Prime Minister Cui's eldest daughter-in-law is Sima Yan's former boudoir close friend, she is a smart woman, for the sake of her son's future, she is willing to make peace with Dalang Cui without hesitation, why not bring her son to change her surname and remarry?With people as representatives, the five major families will soon fall apart.Not to mention the young son who has not yet married a wife.
Wang Sheng's drooping eyes trembled. He didn't know what the empress was going to do. Emperor Qi Yuan also told him about the treasure of Daqi half a year ago before he died, but he didn't know the location of the treasure.
What is the empress going to do with the treasure?If the empress really traded the treasure with the new emperor, should he stop it?But what can he do?Is it possible to recover Daqi?Before his death, the master had fully realized that Daqi was defeated by the late emperor, and the responsibility was not on him.
Wei Huanling blinked, the Empress Dowager seemed extra confident, how on earth would she make those five families have no descendants?
Wang Sheng is not as simple as Wei Huanling, he is very worried, what is the empress going to do?Can she beat Cui Ming and others?What's more, Sima Jiang is still the father of the empress, can the empress still kill her father?He looked at the area under the city tower that was different from other bluestone slabs, wondering what the empress dumped?What are you going to do again?
Yunyao looked up at the bottom of the tower, and there was a group of soldiers standing guard 500 meters away. She looked back and landed on the trace that seemed to be wet by water 100 meters below the tower. With the gasoline poured on by Wang Sheng and others, she needs to deter Pei Zhen in a short period of time and buy time for herself. Only when she recovers with force will she have the capital to deal with others.
Yan Feng felt sleepy after eating, and today he didn't have the nanny and palace maid he was familiar with before, so he grabbed Yun Yao's trouser legs and rubbed his eyes, "Queen, Feng'er is going to take a nap."
Yun Yao picked him up sideways, patted his back, "Go to sleep."
The little guy rubbed against each other, grabbed Yunyao's skirt, closed his eyes and began to sleep.
Wei Huanling looked at Yanfeng enviously, and sighed again, this is the child, he doesn't know anything about his situation, and he doesn't care at all, as long as his mother is by his side, he can sleep peacefully.
The ground was trembling, and the sound of horseshoes gradually approached.
Yun Yao bowed and turned Yan Feng into Wang Sheng's arms, "Hold him." Then she stood up, holding the bow and arrow and the fire bag in her hand.
Yun Yao was wearing a red dress, Wei Huanling was wearing a white dress, and the two stood on the tower, one red and the other white, falling into the sight of Pei Yi and the others from a distance.
Sima Yan is very beautiful, she has the kind of pure and watery appearance, before she reached the age of Ji, she attracted the favor of many young men in the capital, and aroused the displeasure of her half-sister, who happened to fall in love with Zhao The eldest grandson of Shangshu, and the eldest son of the Zhao family doesn't like the appearance of his sister-in-law who is as gorgeous as a peony, but prefers Sima Yan's beautiful face like a flower shining on the moon. It just so happens that Yanling's original wife died of illness, so Xiao Luo urged Sima Jiang to make Sima Yan Marrying into the palace is the queen, and the sister-in-law successfully married into the Zhao family.
Wei Huanling's looks and Sima Yan's are both pure and pure, but because of Yunyao's blessing, the two are completely different in temperament.
The place where Yunyao dumped the gasoline was 100 meters away from the entrance of the palace. Pei Yu and others drove their horses to a stop 200 meters away. Naturally, they also saw the obvious trace. They didn't know the situation ahead, so they naturally didn't will rush forward.
Yun Yao bent her bow and nocked an arrow, with a torch tied to the end of the arrow feather, the arrow left the string.
The lieutenant general and others behind Pei Zhen rode their horses back as if they were facing a formidable enemy, and bent their bows at the people on the tower.
The arrow with fire fell to the ground, and the ground suddenly ignited a raging fire, and soon the fire turned into a fire belt.
Pei Zhen's face was dark, and the lieutenant general and others behind him were even more angry.
"Pei Jin, how about a deal between you and me?" Yun Yao stood on the tower, holding a bow and arrow in her hand, her clothes fluttering in the wind, and her hair fluttering in the wind. She stood on the tower fearlessly, she His face was erratic in the firelight.
Pei Jin squinted her eyes, she is so beautiful!No, it's not because she is beautiful. The women in his backyard, no matter whether they are the main wife or the concubine, all show their charms in different seasons, but no one has ever felt so special to him like her!
"Your Excellency is the Empress Dowager Sima?" The corners of Pei Zhen's mouth rose. This woman is interesting and quite courageous. "What kind of deal do you want to negotiate with me?"
The lieutenant behind Pei Zhen gritted his teeth and said: "This woman is too whimsical. What conditions does she have? It's just a dying struggle."
The second lieutenant stretched out the sword in his hand, hit the back of the first lieutenant's hand with the hilt, and made a gesture of silence. He saw a different look in the eyes of the coach. It was when the coach was interested in something or someone. The last time he saw the coach showing this expression to a woman was when he saw his wife for the first time. Didn't the lady marry the coach and become his official wife later?
Wei Huanling, Wang Sheng and the others stared at the fire below the city tower with dumbfounded eyes. It turned out that the yellow water that the empress had poured out just now could catch fire!
Yun Yao laughed loudly: "Your Excellency, don't worry, I am an orphan and widowed, and I have no ability to fight against you. However, I hate a few people. They held the power of Daqi before and were arrogant. My deal with Your Excellency is just revenge for them. .”
Pei Jin, his counselors, lieutenant generals and others were thinking very fast, and they almost immediately thought of who Yun Yao was talking about.
Pei Yi was more interested now. This woman openly said to take revenge on Cui Ming and the others, but he had just accepted the surrender of Cui Ming and the others.If this woman's deal is for the heads of Cui Ming and the other five, wouldn't he be breaking his promise?But it depends on what she traded. If it is worth more than the family property donated by Cui Ming and the other five, then what if he broke his promise once?
"Sima Jiang is Your Excellency's biological father?" Pei Jin raised his eyebrows jokingly.
Yun Yao sneered: "Then this palace will just kill relatives once. I have the treasures left by the great Qi emperors in my hand, the amount is more than ten million, and I will make the following transaction with you. After you establish a new dynasty, you and yours The successor is not allowed to use the descendants of Cui Ming, Sima Jiang, Zhao Ruizhi, Cai Lili, and Lou Chang as officials of your dynasty for 200 years.
Pei Zhen's pupils shrank, he understood what she meant, she was cutting off the retreat of these five families, as long as the dynasty he built by Pei Zhen still exists, there will be no Cui Ming in the officialdom of the entire dynasty The descendants of the five people, Sima Jiang and Sima Jiang, they will always fall to the bottom.Although it was only 200 years old, Pei Yi never expected that the dynasty he created would last for 200 years, and Daqi was only the Guozuo of 180.
Wei Huanling and Wang Sheng were stunned, and they looked at Yunyao eagerly, especially Wang Sheng, whose master was tortured by Cui Cheng and others, and died in the prime of life, but now the queen mother wants to Prime Minister Cui and the five will never be reborn.
This, this feeling is so cool!
The lieutenant general and counselor behind Pei Yi were dumbfounded, the lieutenant opened his mouth, took a step back while riding his horse, and muttered: "My God, this woman is so ruthless!"
"She wants Cui Ming and Lou Chang to be the last five."
"Isn't she also surnamed Sima? She really is the most poisonous woman!"
At this moment, the flames on the ground were extinguished, and Pei Chun was still looking up at the city tower while riding on a tall horse. Yun Yao sneered and stood on the city tower, looking down at the city from above.
"Of course, there is always nothing in black and white to make people believe in empty words. Your Excellency must make an edict and engrave the contents of the edict on the stone tablet. The stone tablet should be erected at the gate of this palace!"
The lieutenant general, counselor and the others were dumbfounded again. This woman was more ruthless than they imagined. The stele was erected at the gate of the palace, and every minister who entered and exited the palace could see it. Isn't this reminding the reigning emperor all the time?He also reminded the imperial court at all times that the family background of each examinee must be thoroughly checked for every scientific examination, and the descendants of Cui Ming and others must not be allowed to mix in, so the emperor was afraid that the Cui family and others would be imprisoned once and for all. And they will not let them have any more children.
Pei Zhen took a few steps forward on his horse and walked to a position ten meters behind the previous fire belt. He smiled solemnly: "Your Excellency is beyond my general's expectations. Your Excellency's request, I have agreed to this general."
Yun Yao pursed her lips and smiled: "Very well, when Your Excellency's new dynasty is established and the imperial edict and stele are ready, I will take Your Excellency to fetch the treasure." She didn't care about Pei Jin's words, the word request and transaction were both important to her. There is no difference.
She came down from the city wall, handed the bow and arrow in her hand to the little eunuch, took Yan Feng from Wang Sheng's arms, and said: "Let's go, go back to Fenglai Palace, go back and pack your bags, and leave the palace with the Pei family army later."
Pei Jin and the brigade entered the palace, and Yun Yao and the others had already reached the entrance of the harem.
Back in Fenglai Palace, Gao Qi and the other six eunuchs hurriedly said, "Madam, let's go to the residence to pack our bags."
Yun Yao nodded, they thought about it, it was better to follow the empress dowager, this palace is also tired, why bother to struggle in the palace?
Only then did Wei Huanling remember that she was only wearing this dress, and her things were still in Weiyang Palace, so she had to pack her bags, especially her money.
Gao Qi and other eunuchs came back soon, each of them carried a burden on their backs, entered Fenglai Palace, and put them all in the ear room next to the main hall.
Wei Huanling came back very quickly, as soon as she entered Fenglai Palace, a group of soldiers dressed in black came outside, and they surrounded the entire Fenglai Palace.
Yun Yao thought that they would be transferred to another place to be imprisoned by Pei Zhen soon, after all, this harem was not a place where she, the former empress dowager and emperor, could stay, but she didn't want to wait for Pei Zhen's order.
A few hours later, the deal between Yunyao and Pei Zhen had already spread, but because Cui Ming and the other five families were surrounded by the army, it was bound to be later for them to receive new news. After hearing the news, the middle-level officials of Daqi who were under his command took a deep breath.
This Sima Yan is too ruthless, how much does she hate Cui Ming and Sima Jiang?What's more, Sima Jiang is still her biological father, even if Sima Jiang treats her daughter badly, she can't take revenge on her father like this!
At night, the full moon hangs high in the sky. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. The family should sit in the pavilion, eat melon and fruit snacks, drink tea and wine, and look up at the moonlight.
Both the Sima family and the Cui family had in-laws, and the in-laws were not implicated, so the Sima family's daughter-in-law's natal family tried every means to send this news to their daughter, and the Cui family did the same. The news that shocked the world.
Sima's house, the front hall.
Sima Jiang slammed a teacup hard, his beard was raised up, his mind was spinning fast, but no matter how fast it was, it was useless, and he sat down on the chair.
Sima Hui and Sima Peng also collapsed on the chairs, Sima Yao opened his mouth wide, unable to say what he wanted to say.
Little Luo's face was covered with cold sweat. She grabbed her handkerchief and looked at Sima Jiang in fear. They were still rejoicing in the morning that their Sima family escaped the liquidation. As long as the female lay down, two or thirty years later, the third Dai Changcheng, the Sima family will return to the peak of power sooner or later, but now it is ruined by Sima Yan.
"That bitch!" Her chest heaved and she began to curse Yun Yao.
"Shut up!" Sima Jiang snapped, he won't be reconciled, the new dynasty has not yet been established, and he still has time to plan.
In a short period of time, Sima Jiang could only think of two ways, the first one is to send someone to kill Yunyao, the new dynasty has not been established, Pei Jin has not fulfilled his promise, Yunyao will not tell Pei Jin where the treasure of Daqi is, As long as Yunyao dies, this unfinished transaction will not be realized, and the promise will never be realized.
The second way is that he tried every means to persuade Yunyao, for his father's sake, don't do it so badly!But Sima Jiang suddenly thought of Sima Huang, his real eldest son, how he died, he knew very well, but he ignored his death, now his daughter is avenging her brother?
Sima Jiang clenched his hands into fists. Since it was obvious that the second method would not work, he could only use the first method.
In the Cui family, Prime Minister Cui passed out immediately after hearing the news, and was awakened by his children and grandchildren after a while. He almost immediately scolded: "That bitch Sima Yan, how dare she? How dare?"
The eldest, second child and others of the Cui family are mourning their wives, if the new emperor issues this edict, then their Cui family will fall into the dust forever.
The third-generation men of the Cui family, Dalang, Erlang, and others were all downcast, and the expressions of the female relatives were erratic. Among them, Feng Shi, the eldest and youngest wife, blinked, her mood was very complicated. Since she married into the Cui family, she and Sima Yan's best friend The friendship has faded away, and now she ruined the future of the Cui family's children and grandchildren in order to avenge her grandfather, so what will she do in the future?What about her son?
The faces of the other three Zhao family, Lou family, and Cai family were as silent as ashes. They donated [-]% of their wealth to save their lives, thinking that as long as they lay down for a while and people forget what they did in the past, they will definitely be able to make a comeback , but that cowardly woman Sima Yan, she ruined their hopes!
This night, there was a saying among all the people in the capital: Don't underestimate women, rabbits bite people when they are in a hurry, and don't spoil concubines and kill wives.
No one knew about the mess between Sima Jiang and Xiao Luoshi. Back then, Xiao Luoshi was the concubine daughter of the Luo family and was not qualified to marry into the Sima family, so Sima Jiang asked for the concubine daughter of the Luo family. He rescued Xiao Luo Shi who fell into the water in the Luo family pool, and Xiao Luo married his brother-in-law as a concubine. When Sima Jiang did not hold the power of the Sima family, he still endured it, so Sima Yan's brothers and sisters were born, but Sima Jiang Mastering the power of the Sima family, Da Luo died of illness soon, leaving behind his ten-year-old twin brother and sister, and Sima Jiang magnificently supported Xiao Luo, and then Sima Yan and Yan were sent to the palace by Sima Jiang to marry Yan Ling For the queen, and Sima Huang passed away due to illness two years later. Now that Sima Yan is taking revenge on her father, it seems that Sima Huang's death is tricky.
# # #
A city near the East China Sea, Haicheng.
Today, Haicheng is exactly the same as the capital. All the people who are still in Haicheng are shivering and hiding in their homes. The original prefect of Haicheng and the Daqi army have already fled.
The Baxiong Pirates, who used to be rampant only at sea, finally landed today, and they will occupy the entire city as their pirate group's stronghold.
Anyway, the world is now divided, and whoever has the ability will occupy the land and become the king.
At this time, the Baxiong Pirates did not know that the capital had been occupied, and the world would soon have a new owner.
Ba Xiong is the head of the Ba Xiong Pirates. They are ordinary people with little education. They were forced to become pirates by the Daqi government, but they didn't expect to achieve such outstanding achievements in the past two years.
Ba Xiong himself looks tall and thick, with a Chinese character face and a beard. He is a typical old man, but no matter how handsome he looks, once he has power, there are many beauties who fall into his arms.
Originally, Ba Xiong and his three younger brothers made a plan to land today, so they didn't summon concubines to serve them last night. They said they were concubines, but they were just women sent up automatically.
But this morning, Ba Xiong did something surprising.
Ba Xiong wakes up in the morning, looking at the blue sky, the sky by the sea is always extraordinarily blue, one after another white clouds drift by, the sky clears up, and the autumn sun comes late, he always feels something is wrong.
A swaying woman came from a distance, and she smiled coquettishly as she walked: "Master, it's time to have breakfast." She took advantage of the situation to post it. This time, the woman was still five steps away from him, and he kicked her over with one kick.
"roll!"
This movement immediately alarmed the crowd who were waiting for breakfast. The second child, Gao Da, the third child, Wu Yushu, and the fourth child, Mumbai Ping, hurried out of the dining hall and saw the woman who was most favored by the eldest brother. The sister-in-law's woman was lying on the ground sprawled on the ground, she clutched her waist as if she couldn't get up from the pain.
At this time, other women also ran out, with gloating and fear on their faces, only two of them quickly helped the woman who fell on the ground.
"Brother, what's the matter with you?" The three of them couldn't figure it out, swallowed their saliva, and stepped forward to ask.
Ba Xiong was still a little confused, but he glanced at the people in the yard, rubbed his forehead and said, "Tell these women to get out of here."
Wu Yushu asked tentatively: "Is the eldest brother going to dismiss the sisters-in-law?"
Gundam and Mumbaiping were terrified for a moment, and Ba Xiong nodded: "Don't see them in my house again."
Wu Yushu said with a smile: "It's the elder brother's order, and the younger brother and others will naturally follow."
Satisfied, Ba Xiong strode towards the dining hall, "Let's eat, let's go to Haicheng after eating."
While Ba Xiong was having dinner, Wu Yushu had already dismissed the five women in his backyard. Of course, he was not sent to the pirate group, but sent to work elsewhere. Now that they are not the women of the group leader, there will be no preferential treatment. To stay, you have to do things.Of course, they are used to relying on others to survive, and they will find the next man soon.
In view of Ba Xiong's behavior this morning, the dining hall was very quiet, and the members of the pirate group didn't become active until they left the island and boarded the ship to Haicheng.
Ba Xiong's mood also improved, and the three of them approached each other, and then they joked with each other.
"Brother, you are really cruel, you are willing to kill such a beautiful beauty?" Gao Da touched his chin rather wretchedly, of course, he just said that, he has two women himself, and he would not be rude to the woman of the eldest brother Heart, even if they have been dismissed by the eldest brother, they will not become each other's guests.
Wu Yushu and Mumbaiping smiled subtly. Among the four brothers, these two were the only ones who looked particularly delicate, like a scholar who had no strength to restrain a chicken.
In fact, Wu Yushu and Mumbaiping were indeed scholars back then, but their family members were persecuted by the government. They were desperate and met Ba Xiong and Gundam fleeing for their lives. The four of them suffered all the way and came to the seaside. The fishing village was the stronghold of a small band of pirates, and they've been pirates ever since.
Ba Xiong glanced at Gundam with a dazed expression, then glanced at Wu Yushu and Mumbaiping, and said after a long time: "I want to start cultivating myself now, and after I settle down in Haicheng, I want to find a beautiful woman to marry."
"The third and fourth are very good, they have always kept themselves clean, and they will definitely have a happy marriage in the future." Ba Xiong's words made Gao Gao and the three of them toss and turn like water in a hot pot, and they heard the eldest brother firmly say: "Don't worry, I, Ba Xiong, will definitely let everyone live a good life, it may not be possible to confer kings and ministers..."
After a pause, Ba Xiong frowned and said: "This world may change people soon. Even if we occupy Haicheng, there are only two ways to go in the end. Either we will be recruited or driven out."
Wu Yushu and Mumbaiping thought for a while. They read more books than Baxiong and Gaoda. Normally, they should have thought of this question earlier, but today they heard it from the mouth of the elder brother. This has to make the two of them think. A reckless guy, but that's not right, the eldest brother was not like this before, but today he feels so majestic to them.
Ten sea ships landed at the lower pier of Haicheng, and immediately in front of them, someone held a flag and ran towards the city.
"The pirates are coming, the pirates are coming!" The man looked thin and small, but he ran away like a deer.
Gao Da's eyes were wide open, and his mouth was full of obscenities, Ba Xiong stopped him sharply: "Second, shut up!"
Gao Da listened to Ba Xiong's words very much, shut up if told to shut up, Ba Xiong said: "The prefect and general soldier of Haicheng have already fled, and now the people inside are just like us back then. Is the second head of the regiment really amazing?"
After scolding Gundam, Ba Xiong immediately raised the sword in his hand and said: "When I enter the city, please give me a little peace of mind, and I am not allowed to harass the people's homes. Back then we were bullied just like them. At that time, we were desperate. I wish someone could help us. When we have the ability, how can we bully these powerless people? How is this different from the corrupt officials who bullied our family? We want to be human, not brute!"
He glanced at the dark crowd behind him, "Did you hear everything?"
"I heard you, Master!" It seemed that everyone's voices were clear, and Ba Xiong's words had reached their hearts.
Gao Da looked at Ba Xiong eagerly with a frustrated face, while Wu Yushu and Mumbaiping ignored him. They now had an incredible feeling in their hearts. This tall and steady man seemed to be a different person.
When the magistrate and the general soldier left, Haicheng was a land of no one. The rich and well-connected households had already followed, and now Haicheng was just ordinary people.
The pirate group entered Haicheng smoothly. There are more than 1000 people in their pirate group, occupying the best five-entry houses and government offices in Haicheng. After everything settled down, Ba Xiong sent 200 people to the island to pick up Old and weak women.
In the afternoon, Ba Xiong stood on the tower of the East City Gate looking towards the direction of the capital. He looked eagerly at the direction of the capital, as if there were golden thousand taels and peerless beauties there.
Wu Yushu and Mumbaiping looked up at the tall figure on the city tower with their necks up. They couldn't tell what they felt. Why did this person change all of a sudden?
The two looked at each other, and then went up the stairs.
"Brother, are you looking at the capital, do you think that one day we can invade the capital?" Wu Yushu said with a smile, and he patted Ba Xiong's shoulder heavily.
Mumbaiping also agreed with a smile: "Yes, anyway, the world is torn apart, why can't eldest brother become the master of this world?"
Ba Xiong withdrew his gaze, looked at the two younger brothers blankly, and said after a while, "What are you talking about?" He shook his head, "Do you want to go to the capital?"
Wu Yushu laughed: "Who doesn't want to go to the capital? It's the capital of Daqi, the most prosperous place, with the most delicious food and the most beautiful women. It's every man's ambition !"
Ba Xiong whispered: "Really?"
Wu Yushu and Mumbaiping sat casually on the wall on the left of Ba Xiong, and the other leaned against the wall behind Ba Xiong's right. The two of them talked with Ba Xiong calmly, and the topics involved were all when their four brothers fled. The situation, they were very sleepy at that time, but thinking about it now, they were also very happy. At that time, their wish was to settle down, to have enough food every day, and not to worry about where the next meal would be, but Wu Yushu and Mumbaiping had more wishes The same, that is, they can read and write at any time.
Laughter floated down the city wall, and almost all the guards guarding upstairs and downstairs heard the words of the three masters, and they felt warm in their hearts. The wishes of the four masters were as simple as theirs.
After the casual conversation, Wu Yushu and Mumbai were depressed. The elder brother seemed to be their elder brother, but it didn't seem to be. They couldn't understand it at all.
However, they decided to continue to observe the eldest brother carefully. How did he change so much overnight?
The author has something to say: This volume is fictional, not historical.
Ba Xiong, a rough guy pirate, is Li Xieha. Once his identity changes, his personality changes once o(╯□╰)o.
Being secretly hated by Sima Yan, the family of the five great rotten ministers in Daqi, but the masters of the five families are still there. Although they don't have many soldiers, they are enough to protect their own family. And they have already inquired clearly that Pei Zhen is not Killing innocent people indiscriminately, as long as they donate some money at that time, they can save their lives if they think about it.
In Sima Taifu's mansion, all the servants are guarding the back door with weapons, and there are five hundred soldiers standing in the yard of the front door. These are the soldiers of the Sima family. Of course, they are all transferred from the army, so there is no guard in the palace. All the soldiers in Qi were either captured by the rebel army when they confronted the rebel army before, or they were all in the homes of the ministers.
Sima Jiang sat steadily in the front hall. He had a round face. When he was young, he often gave people the impression of a boyish face. This was also the point that he was not satisfied with his appearance. He has a beard, which makes him look a lot more dignified.Of course, even if he doesn't grow a beard now, people all over the world dare not underestimate him.
At this moment, with a straight face, he was planning in his mind how to keep the Sima family after the rebel army entered the city, and give the Sima family a little too much time. Sooner or later, the Sima family would recover in the new dynasty.
From the beginning to the end, he never thought of his daughter and grandson in the palace.
Little Luo was in the main courtyard, restraining her daughters-in-law and grandchildren, her youngest son was in the main courtyard to appease them, the eldest and second sons were in the front hall, staying with Sima Jiang.
She doesn't know the external form, but she just needs to believe in her husband. Her husband is the supreme god in her heart. He loves and protects her, and all her glory comes from him.
Thinking of the step-empress dowager in the palace, Xiao Luo sneered. If it was only Sima Yan, the rebel leader might keep her, but with that brat Yanfeng, would the rebels dare to keep the last emperor of the previous dynasty?And would a mother be willing to let her son die?So their mother and child are dead, but what does that matter to her?
Sima Hui and Sima Yao, the actual eldest son and second son of the Sima family, have all forgotten that Sima Huang, who died eight years ago, is the real eldest son of the Sima family.
"Brother, in the palace..." Sima Yao poked his brother and whispered in his ear.
Sima Hui's eyes darkened, and he patted Sima Yao, "Our family is in danger, so don't worry about the royal affairs." After a pause, he lowered his voice, "I know you sympathize with Eldest Sister, but Eldest Sister is now Yan. Empress Dowager, she is no longer a member of our Sima family, and the rebels will not let their mother and child go."
"It's impossible for us to pay the Sima family for a married daughter and nephew. Second brother, I know you have a kind heart, but you can score points at any time." Before Sima Hui finished speaking, Sima Yao fell silent.
The yard was actually very quiet. Although the voices of the two brothers were quiet, Sima Jiang could hear them all.
Sima Jiang sighed secretly in his heart, he had held the power to hold the emperor hostage in his life, and the Sima family had a great reputation, now is the most dangerous time for the Sima family.
Thinking of the previous considerations, he was relieved. Most of the Sima family's wealth could not be kept, but it didn't matter, he had already transferred part of it, and the Sima family would make a comeback sooner or later.
After the establishment of the new dynasty, the Sima family will be forgotten in 20 years. At that time, it is time for his grandson to stand up, and the Sima family will restore its glory sooner or later.
Thinking of Sima Huang and Sima Yan, Sima Jiang's heart became even harder. People are biased. For the Sima family, it is their blessing to sacrifice one or two descendants.
The Cui family, the Lou family and other four families are even more indifferent. The empress dowager and the emperor in the palace are not from their family. Their own daughter has been taken back after the death of Emperor Qi Yuan half a year ago, and now they are planning to marry another .But to catch up with this extraordinary period, the marriage will be postponed, just as the new dynasty is established, they can still send their own daughters, so as not to be liquidated.
However, Lou Chang is a general, and he has the military power in Daqi, so the Lou family has the most soldiers and horses, occupying an entire street outside the Lou family.
Five miles away from the west gate of the capital, a large army rushed towards the direction of the capital. The leader was a man over [-] years old. His two lieutenants each had a flag on their heads, and there was a distinctive big character on the flag-Pei.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the army came to the gate of the west city, and Pei Jin stopped his horse with a whip.
The city gate was wide open, and there was no one on the top of the tower and the gate of the city.
"Boss, let's go in and find out." The first lieutenant general was interrupted by Pei Jin, "Wait a minute, don't worry." Pei Zhen rubbed his chin and looked at the city gate with great interest.
Several counselors in the army came forward immediately, and one of them said: "Commander, I'm afraid the plan will be empty."
But one person said: "It's unlikely, the common people are hiding in their houses, our reputation along the way is not that of people who kill common people indiscriminately, but Cui Ming, Sima Jiang and others are afraid to sit at home and wait for us to go with them." negotiation."
Pei Zhen's face darkened, and he exuded an aura of "I'm not happy". He didn't like Sima Jiang, Cui Ming and other five moth officials who disturbed the court, but sometimes he had to let some people go for certain benefits.
"Hmph, negotiation? What qualifications do they have?" Pei Jin said in a deep voice.
Immediately, the deputy general led a group of people and rushed into the city. It was indeed an empty city plan, and there was no one there. However, the deputy general wandered around the street closest to the city gate. There was no one on the street, but there were obviously people behind the closed doors. Peeping, the deputy general went directly to a common people's house.
"Open the door!" The deputy general said loudly, "Come out, otherwise don't blame the general for being rude."
The people behind the door opened the door tremblingly, and then walked out tremblingly, trembling all over, "Governor, you, please tell me."
The deputy general not only inquired about this person, but contacted and inquired about other families, and finally said when he left: "Don't worry, I don't eat human flesh, and I am not interested in your family background. The city will return to normal in a few days, and you can Live normally."
The deputy general led his troops back to the gate of the city, and waved a flag, "Commander, there is nothing unusual, you can come in!"
Pei Zhen and his party rode slowly into the city, but before coming to the capital, Pei Zhen had discussed with the counselors and others. The government of Qi State had always been in the hands of courtiers, so after they entered the city, they sent The army surrounded the mansions of the five great moth officials, and of course the other officials' mansions would not let them go.
The first one surrounded by the army was the Louchang Mansion. They clashed with more than 1000 soldiers outside the Lou's Mansion, but there were more Pei's troops, and the Lou's couldn't resist.
In the end, the army surrounding Lou's family was replaced by Pei's army. At this time, Lou Chang quickly resorted to his trump card. He surrendered to Pei Jin, and his sincerity was 80.00% of the property of Lou's family. He only asked Pei Zhen to let them go.
Killing chickens to warn monkeys, with Lou's chicken, the other four moth families quickly surrendered. Given their good attitude, although they were also treated as prisoners, the soldiers did not touch them.
After taking care of the officials left over from Daqi in the city, only the palace is left, and soldiers have already visited the palace, the gate of the palace is wide open, and there is no one there.
Pei Jin said coldly: "Naturally, there is no one there, and everyone is in the government offices of the major officials."
Counselor [-] and Lieutenant General [-] almost said in unison: "The little emperor is also pitiful, and the empress dowager is also pitiful. But Empress Dowager Sima is Sima Jiang's daughter, and the Sima family didn't mention the empress dowager at all just now."
At this time, Pei Zhen and others were resting in the most luxurious restaurant in the capital in the past, and the army took over the defense of the capital in an all-round way. Pei Zhen and Pei's army were safe, and they were waiting to move into the palace.
Pei Zhen didn't speak, and the three counselors, the lieutenant general, and other generals started a discussion about Empress Dowager Sima and the little emperor.
It was past noon at this time, and Pei Yu ordered in a deep voice: "Let the store serve lunch, and then enter the palace after eating and drinking enough." After that, he will not leave the palace again for a long time, his goal Isn't it just to become the master of that palace?
At the gate of the palace, on the tower, Yunyao and the others who had been waiting all morning were also eating lunch. The lunch was still simple vegetable porridge, which was made by the eunuchs Wang Sheng and Gao Qi when they returned to Fenglai Palace, and then brought it over .
"Your Majesty, the city is extremely noisy this morning. The rebels have already entered the city. They didn't enter the palace immediately. They should have gone to take care of those ministers. Do you think the rebels will let Cheng Cui and others go?"
Wei Huanling also had nowhere to go, so he just followed Yunyao. She didn't know what the empress dowager was going to do, but she thought that Yunyao was the empress dowager of Daqi, Yanfeng was the emperor, and according to the news they usually heard Well, the leader of the rebel army is not a bloodthirsty person, so he may not want their lives. In short, she is with the empress dowager, and it is better to live and die with them than to be alone and suffer insults at that time.
Yun Yao raised her eyelids, and thought carefully about the actions of Cui Cheng and others. The people in the world are full of complaints, and the main responsibility lies with them, but they are not the executors. These people are old and cunning, as long as they have enough conditions to negotiate with Pei Zhen , Pei Jin will definitely not want their lives, as long as their lives are alive, keep the green hills, even if there is no firewood!What's more, I'm afraid that Pei Yi will have a strange thought in his heart, that is, without Prime Minister Cui's five people making trouble, how could he climb to the top of imperial power today?
"No, even if Pei Jin is liquidated, it is only possible to take the lives of the five members of Prime Minister Cui. As for what happens to the five families of the Cui family, it depends on the sincerity of Cheng Cui and others to surrender to Pei Jin." Yun Yao sneered: " But don't worry, I won't let them go, I will make the five of them utterly immortal, and make their lives worse than death."
The ancient people's concept of inheritance only recognized the descendants of their own surnames, not Cui, Sima, Zhao, Cai, Lou, or their descendants.
Prime Minister Cui's eldest daughter-in-law is Sima Yan's former boudoir close friend, she is a smart woman, for the sake of her son's future, she is willing to make peace with Dalang Cui without hesitation, why not bring her son to change her surname and remarry?With people as representatives, the five major families will soon fall apart.Not to mention the young son who has not yet married a wife.
Wang Sheng's drooping eyes trembled. He didn't know what the empress was going to do. Emperor Qi Yuan also told him about the treasure of Daqi half a year ago before he died, but he didn't know the location of the treasure.
What is the empress going to do with the treasure?If the empress really traded the treasure with the new emperor, should he stop it?But what can he do?Is it possible to recover Daqi?Before his death, the master had fully realized that Daqi was defeated by the late emperor, and the responsibility was not on him.
Wei Huanling blinked, the Empress Dowager seemed extra confident, how on earth would she make those five families have no descendants?
Wang Sheng is not as simple as Wei Huanling, he is very worried, what is the empress going to do?Can she beat Cui Ming and others?What's more, Sima Jiang is still the father of the empress, can the empress still kill her father?He looked at the area under the city tower that was different from other bluestone slabs, wondering what the empress dumped?What are you going to do again?
Yunyao looked up at the bottom of the tower, and there was a group of soldiers standing guard 500 meters away. She looked back and landed on the trace that seemed to be wet by water 100 meters below the tower. With the gasoline poured on by Wang Sheng and others, she needs to deter Pei Zhen in a short period of time and buy time for herself. Only when she recovers with force will she have the capital to deal with others.
Yan Feng felt sleepy after eating, and today he didn't have the nanny and palace maid he was familiar with before, so he grabbed Yun Yao's trouser legs and rubbed his eyes, "Queen, Feng'er is going to take a nap."
Yun Yao picked him up sideways, patted his back, "Go to sleep."
The little guy rubbed against each other, grabbed Yunyao's skirt, closed his eyes and began to sleep.
Wei Huanling looked at Yanfeng enviously, and sighed again, this is the child, he doesn't know anything about his situation, and he doesn't care at all, as long as his mother is by his side, he can sleep peacefully.
The ground was trembling, and the sound of horseshoes gradually approached.
Yun Yao bowed and turned Yan Feng into Wang Sheng's arms, "Hold him." Then she stood up, holding the bow and arrow and the fire bag in her hand.
Yun Yao was wearing a red dress, Wei Huanling was wearing a white dress, and the two stood on the tower, one red and the other white, falling into the sight of Pei Yi and the others from a distance.
Sima Yan is very beautiful, she has the kind of pure and watery appearance, before she reached the age of Ji, she attracted the favor of many young men in the capital, and aroused the displeasure of her half-sister, who happened to fall in love with Zhao The eldest grandson of Shangshu, and the eldest son of the Zhao family doesn't like the appearance of his sister-in-law who is as gorgeous as a peony, but prefers Sima Yan's beautiful face like a flower shining on the moon. It just so happens that Yanling's original wife died of illness, so Xiao Luo urged Sima Jiang to make Sima Yan Marrying into the palace is the queen, and the sister-in-law successfully married into the Zhao family.
Wei Huanling's looks and Sima Yan's are both pure and pure, but because of Yunyao's blessing, the two are completely different in temperament.
The place where Yunyao dumped the gasoline was 100 meters away from the entrance of the palace. Pei Yu and others drove their horses to a stop 200 meters away. Naturally, they also saw the obvious trace. They didn't know the situation ahead, so they naturally didn't will rush forward.
Yun Yao bent her bow and nocked an arrow, with a torch tied to the end of the arrow feather, the arrow left the string.
The lieutenant general and others behind Pei Zhen rode their horses back as if they were facing a formidable enemy, and bent their bows at the people on the tower.
The arrow with fire fell to the ground, and the ground suddenly ignited a raging fire, and soon the fire turned into a fire belt.
Pei Zhen's face was dark, and the lieutenant general and others behind him were even more angry.
"Pei Jin, how about a deal between you and me?" Yun Yao stood on the tower, holding a bow and arrow in her hand, her clothes fluttering in the wind, and her hair fluttering in the wind. She stood on the tower fearlessly, she His face was erratic in the firelight.
Pei Jin squinted her eyes, she is so beautiful!No, it's not because she is beautiful. The women in his backyard, no matter whether they are the main wife or the concubine, all show their charms in different seasons, but no one has ever felt so special to him like her!
"Your Excellency is the Empress Dowager Sima?" The corners of Pei Zhen's mouth rose. This woman is interesting and quite courageous. "What kind of deal do you want to negotiate with me?"
The lieutenant behind Pei Zhen gritted his teeth and said: "This woman is too whimsical. What conditions does she have? It's just a dying struggle."
The second lieutenant stretched out the sword in his hand, hit the back of the first lieutenant's hand with the hilt, and made a gesture of silence. He saw a different look in the eyes of the coach. It was when the coach was interested in something or someone. The last time he saw the coach showing this expression to a woman was when he saw his wife for the first time. Didn't the lady marry the coach and become his official wife later?
Wei Huanling, Wang Sheng and the others stared at the fire below the city tower with dumbfounded eyes. It turned out that the yellow water that the empress had poured out just now could catch fire!
Yun Yao laughed loudly: "Your Excellency, don't worry, I am an orphan and widowed, and I have no ability to fight against you. However, I hate a few people. They held the power of Daqi before and were arrogant. My deal with Your Excellency is just revenge for them. .”
Pei Jin, his counselors, lieutenant generals and others were thinking very fast, and they almost immediately thought of who Yun Yao was talking about.
Pei Yi was more interested now. This woman openly said to take revenge on Cui Ming and the others, but he had just accepted the surrender of Cui Ming and the others.If this woman's deal is for the heads of Cui Ming and the other five, wouldn't he be breaking his promise?But it depends on what she traded. If it is worth more than the family property donated by Cui Ming and the other five, then what if he broke his promise once?
"Sima Jiang is Your Excellency's biological father?" Pei Jin raised his eyebrows jokingly.
Yun Yao sneered: "Then this palace will just kill relatives once. I have the treasures left by the great Qi emperors in my hand, the amount is more than ten million, and I will make the following transaction with you. After you establish a new dynasty, you and yours The successor is not allowed to use the descendants of Cui Ming, Sima Jiang, Zhao Ruizhi, Cai Lili, and Lou Chang as officials of your dynasty for 200 years.
Pei Zhen's pupils shrank, he understood what she meant, she was cutting off the retreat of these five families, as long as the dynasty he built by Pei Zhen still exists, there will be no Cui Ming in the officialdom of the entire dynasty The descendants of the five people, Sima Jiang and Sima Jiang, they will always fall to the bottom.Although it was only 200 years old, Pei Yi never expected that the dynasty he created would last for 200 years, and Daqi was only the Guozuo of 180.
Wei Huanling and Wang Sheng were stunned, and they looked at Yunyao eagerly, especially Wang Sheng, whose master was tortured by Cui Cheng and others, and died in the prime of life, but now the queen mother wants to Prime Minister Cui and the five will never be reborn.
This, this feeling is so cool!
The lieutenant general and counselor behind Pei Yi were dumbfounded, the lieutenant opened his mouth, took a step back while riding his horse, and muttered: "My God, this woman is so ruthless!"
"She wants Cui Ming and Lou Chang to be the last five."
"Isn't she also surnamed Sima? She really is the most poisonous woman!"
At this moment, the flames on the ground were extinguished, and Pei Chun was still looking up at the city tower while riding on a tall horse. Yun Yao sneered and stood on the city tower, looking down at the city from above.
"Of course, there is always nothing in black and white to make people believe in empty words. Your Excellency must make an edict and engrave the contents of the edict on the stone tablet. The stone tablet should be erected at the gate of this palace!"
The lieutenant general, counselor and the others were dumbfounded again. This woman was more ruthless than they imagined. The stele was erected at the gate of the palace, and every minister who entered and exited the palace could see it. Isn't this reminding the reigning emperor all the time?He also reminded the imperial court at all times that the family background of each examinee must be thoroughly checked for every scientific examination, and the descendants of Cui Ming and others must not be allowed to mix in, so the emperor was afraid that the Cui family and others would be imprisoned once and for all. And they will not let them have any more children.
Pei Zhen took a few steps forward on his horse and walked to a position ten meters behind the previous fire belt. He smiled solemnly: "Your Excellency is beyond my general's expectations. Your Excellency's request, I have agreed to this general."
Yun Yao pursed her lips and smiled: "Very well, when Your Excellency's new dynasty is established and the imperial edict and stele are ready, I will take Your Excellency to fetch the treasure." She didn't care about Pei Jin's words, the word request and transaction were both important to her. There is no difference.
She came down from the city wall, handed the bow and arrow in her hand to the little eunuch, took Yan Feng from Wang Sheng's arms, and said: "Let's go, go back to Fenglai Palace, go back and pack your bags, and leave the palace with the Pei family army later."
Pei Jin and the brigade entered the palace, and Yun Yao and the others had already reached the entrance of the harem.
Back in Fenglai Palace, Gao Qi and the other six eunuchs hurriedly said, "Madam, let's go to the residence to pack our bags."
Yun Yao nodded, they thought about it, it was better to follow the empress dowager, this palace is also tired, why bother to struggle in the palace?
Only then did Wei Huanling remember that she was only wearing this dress, and her things were still in Weiyang Palace, so she had to pack her bags, especially her money.
Gao Qi and other eunuchs came back soon, each of them carried a burden on their backs, entered Fenglai Palace, and put them all in the ear room next to the main hall.
Wei Huanling came back very quickly, as soon as she entered Fenglai Palace, a group of soldiers dressed in black came outside, and they surrounded the entire Fenglai Palace.
Yun Yao thought that they would be transferred to another place to be imprisoned by Pei Zhen soon, after all, this harem was not a place where she, the former empress dowager and emperor, could stay, but she didn't want to wait for Pei Zhen's order.
A few hours later, the deal between Yunyao and Pei Zhen had already spread, but because Cui Ming and the other five families were surrounded by the army, it was bound to be later for them to receive new news. After hearing the news, the middle-level officials of Daqi who were under his command took a deep breath.
This Sima Yan is too ruthless, how much does she hate Cui Ming and Sima Jiang?What's more, Sima Jiang is still her biological father, even if Sima Jiang treats her daughter badly, she can't take revenge on her father like this!
At night, the full moon hangs high in the sky. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. The family should sit in the pavilion, eat melon and fruit snacks, drink tea and wine, and look up at the moonlight.
Both the Sima family and the Cui family had in-laws, and the in-laws were not implicated, so the Sima family's daughter-in-law's natal family tried every means to send this news to their daughter, and the Cui family did the same. The news that shocked the world.
Sima's house, the front hall.
Sima Jiang slammed a teacup hard, his beard was raised up, his mind was spinning fast, but no matter how fast it was, it was useless, and he sat down on the chair.
Sima Hui and Sima Peng also collapsed on the chairs, Sima Yao opened his mouth wide, unable to say what he wanted to say.
Little Luo's face was covered with cold sweat. She grabbed her handkerchief and looked at Sima Jiang in fear. They were still rejoicing in the morning that their Sima family escaped the liquidation. As long as the female lay down, two or thirty years later, the third Dai Changcheng, the Sima family will return to the peak of power sooner or later, but now it is ruined by Sima Yan.
"That bitch!" Her chest heaved and she began to curse Yun Yao.
"Shut up!" Sima Jiang snapped, he won't be reconciled, the new dynasty has not yet been established, and he still has time to plan.
In a short period of time, Sima Jiang could only think of two ways, the first one is to send someone to kill Yunyao, the new dynasty has not been established, Pei Jin has not fulfilled his promise, Yunyao will not tell Pei Jin where the treasure of Daqi is, As long as Yunyao dies, this unfinished transaction will not be realized, and the promise will never be realized.
The second way is that he tried every means to persuade Yunyao, for his father's sake, don't do it so badly!But Sima Jiang suddenly thought of Sima Huang, his real eldest son, how he died, he knew very well, but he ignored his death, now his daughter is avenging her brother?
Sima Jiang clenched his hands into fists. Since it was obvious that the second method would not work, he could only use the first method.
In the Cui family, Prime Minister Cui passed out immediately after hearing the news, and was awakened by his children and grandchildren after a while. He almost immediately scolded: "That bitch Sima Yan, how dare she? How dare?"
The eldest, second child and others of the Cui family are mourning their wives, if the new emperor issues this edict, then their Cui family will fall into the dust forever.
The third-generation men of the Cui family, Dalang, Erlang, and others were all downcast, and the expressions of the female relatives were erratic. Among them, Feng Shi, the eldest and youngest wife, blinked, her mood was very complicated. Since she married into the Cui family, she and Sima Yan's best friend The friendship has faded away, and now she ruined the future of the Cui family's children and grandchildren in order to avenge her grandfather, so what will she do in the future?What about her son?
The faces of the other three Zhao family, Lou family, and Cai family were as silent as ashes. They donated [-]% of their wealth to save their lives, thinking that as long as they lay down for a while and people forget what they did in the past, they will definitely be able to make a comeback , but that cowardly woman Sima Yan, she ruined their hopes!
This night, there was a saying among all the people in the capital: Don't underestimate women, rabbits bite people when they are in a hurry, and don't spoil concubines and kill wives.
No one knew about the mess between Sima Jiang and Xiao Luoshi. Back then, Xiao Luoshi was the concubine daughter of the Luo family and was not qualified to marry into the Sima family, so Sima Jiang asked for the concubine daughter of the Luo family. He rescued Xiao Luo Shi who fell into the water in the Luo family pool, and Xiao Luo married his brother-in-law as a concubine. When Sima Jiang did not hold the power of the Sima family, he still endured it, so Sima Yan's brothers and sisters were born, but Sima Jiang Mastering the power of the Sima family, Da Luo died of illness soon, leaving behind his ten-year-old twin brother and sister, and Sima Jiang magnificently supported Xiao Luo, and then Sima Yan and Yan were sent to the palace by Sima Jiang to marry Yan Ling For the queen, and Sima Huang passed away due to illness two years later. Now that Sima Yan is taking revenge on her father, it seems that Sima Huang's death is tricky.
# # #
A city near the East China Sea, Haicheng.
Today, Haicheng is exactly the same as the capital. All the people who are still in Haicheng are shivering and hiding in their homes. The original prefect of Haicheng and the Daqi army have already fled.
The Baxiong Pirates, who used to be rampant only at sea, finally landed today, and they will occupy the entire city as their pirate group's stronghold.
Anyway, the world is now divided, and whoever has the ability will occupy the land and become the king.
At this time, the Baxiong Pirates did not know that the capital had been occupied, and the world would soon have a new owner.
Ba Xiong is the head of the Ba Xiong Pirates. They are ordinary people with little education. They were forced to become pirates by the Daqi government, but they didn't expect to achieve such outstanding achievements in the past two years.
Ba Xiong himself looks tall and thick, with a Chinese character face and a beard. He is a typical old man, but no matter how handsome he looks, once he has power, there are many beauties who fall into his arms.
Originally, Ba Xiong and his three younger brothers made a plan to land today, so they didn't summon concubines to serve them last night. They said they were concubines, but they were just women sent up automatically.
But this morning, Ba Xiong did something surprising.
Ba Xiong wakes up in the morning, looking at the blue sky, the sky by the sea is always extraordinarily blue, one after another white clouds drift by, the sky clears up, and the autumn sun comes late, he always feels something is wrong.
A swaying woman came from a distance, and she smiled coquettishly as she walked: "Master, it's time to have breakfast." She took advantage of the situation to post it. This time, the woman was still five steps away from him, and he kicked her over with one kick.
"roll!"
This movement immediately alarmed the crowd who were waiting for breakfast. The second child, Gao Da, the third child, Wu Yushu, and the fourth child, Mumbai Ping, hurried out of the dining hall and saw the woman who was most favored by the eldest brother. The sister-in-law's woman was lying on the ground sprawled on the ground, she clutched her waist as if she couldn't get up from the pain.
At this time, other women also ran out, with gloating and fear on their faces, only two of them quickly helped the woman who fell on the ground.
"Brother, what's the matter with you?" The three of them couldn't figure it out, swallowed their saliva, and stepped forward to ask.
Ba Xiong was still a little confused, but he glanced at the people in the yard, rubbed his forehead and said, "Tell these women to get out of here."
Wu Yushu asked tentatively: "Is the eldest brother going to dismiss the sisters-in-law?"
Gundam and Mumbaiping were terrified for a moment, and Ba Xiong nodded: "Don't see them in my house again."
Wu Yushu said with a smile: "It's the elder brother's order, and the younger brother and others will naturally follow."
Satisfied, Ba Xiong strode towards the dining hall, "Let's eat, let's go to Haicheng after eating."
While Ba Xiong was having dinner, Wu Yushu had already dismissed the five women in his backyard. Of course, he was not sent to the pirate group, but sent to work elsewhere. Now that they are not the women of the group leader, there will be no preferential treatment. To stay, you have to do things.Of course, they are used to relying on others to survive, and they will find the next man soon.
In view of Ba Xiong's behavior this morning, the dining hall was very quiet, and the members of the pirate group didn't become active until they left the island and boarded the ship to Haicheng.
Ba Xiong's mood also improved, and the three of them approached each other, and then they joked with each other.
"Brother, you are really cruel, you are willing to kill such a beautiful beauty?" Gao Da touched his chin rather wretchedly, of course, he just said that, he has two women himself, and he would not be rude to the woman of the eldest brother Heart, even if they have been dismissed by the eldest brother, they will not become each other's guests.
Wu Yushu and Mumbaiping smiled subtly. Among the four brothers, these two were the only ones who looked particularly delicate, like a scholar who had no strength to restrain a chicken.
In fact, Wu Yushu and Mumbaiping were indeed scholars back then, but their family members were persecuted by the government. They were desperate and met Ba Xiong and Gundam fleeing for their lives. The four of them suffered all the way and came to the seaside. The fishing village was the stronghold of a small band of pirates, and they've been pirates ever since.
Ba Xiong glanced at Gundam with a dazed expression, then glanced at Wu Yushu and Mumbaiping, and said after a long time: "I want to start cultivating myself now, and after I settle down in Haicheng, I want to find a beautiful woman to marry."
"The third and fourth are very good, they have always kept themselves clean, and they will definitely have a happy marriage in the future." Ba Xiong's words made Gao Gao and the three of them toss and turn like water in a hot pot, and they heard the eldest brother firmly say: "Don't worry, I, Ba Xiong, will definitely let everyone live a good life, it may not be possible to confer kings and ministers..."
After a pause, Ba Xiong frowned and said: "This world may change people soon. Even if we occupy Haicheng, there are only two ways to go in the end. Either we will be recruited or driven out."
Wu Yushu and Mumbaiping thought for a while. They read more books than Baxiong and Gaoda. Normally, they should have thought of this question earlier, but today they heard it from the mouth of the elder brother. This has to make the two of them think. A reckless guy, but that's not right, the eldest brother was not like this before, but today he feels so majestic to them.
Ten sea ships landed at the lower pier of Haicheng, and immediately in front of them, someone held a flag and ran towards the city.
"The pirates are coming, the pirates are coming!" The man looked thin and small, but he ran away like a deer.
Gao Da's eyes were wide open, and his mouth was full of obscenities, Ba Xiong stopped him sharply: "Second, shut up!"
Gao Da listened to Ba Xiong's words very much, shut up if told to shut up, Ba Xiong said: "The prefect and general soldier of Haicheng have already fled, and now the people inside are just like us back then. Is the second head of the regiment really amazing?"
After scolding Gundam, Ba Xiong immediately raised the sword in his hand and said: "When I enter the city, please give me a little peace of mind, and I am not allowed to harass the people's homes. Back then we were bullied just like them. At that time, we were desperate. I wish someone could help us. When we have the ability, how can we bully these powerless people? How is this different from the corrupt officials who bullied our family? We want to be human, not brute!"
He glanced at the dark crowd behind him, "Did you hear everything?"
"I heard you, Master!" It seemed that everyone's voices were clear, and Ba Xiong's words had reached their hearts.
Gao Da looked at Ba Xiong eagerly with a frustrated face, while Wu Yushu and Mumbaiping ignored him. They now had an incredible feeling in their hearts. This tall and steady man seemed to be a different person.
When the magistrate and the general soldier left, Haicheng was a land of no one. The rich and well-connected households had already followed, and now Haicheng was just ordinary people.
The pirate group entered Haicheng smoothly. There are more than 1000 people in their pirate group, occupying the best five-entry houses and government offices in Haicheng. After everything settled down, Ba Xiong sent 200 people to the island to pick up Old and weak women.
In the afternoon, Ba Xiong stood on the tower of the East City Gate looking towards the direction of the capital. He looked eagerly at the direction of the capital, as if there were golden thousand taels and peerless beauties there.
Wu Yushu and Mumbaiping looked up at the tall figure on the city tower with their necks up. They couldn't tell what they felt. Why did this person change all of a sudden?
The two looked at each other, and then went up the stairs.
"Brother, are you looking at the capital, do you think that one day we can invade the capital?" Wu Yushu said with a smile, and he patted Ba Xiong's shoulder heavily.
Mumbaiping also agreed with a smile: "Yes, anyway, the world is torn apart, why can't eldest brother become the master of this world?"
Ba Xiong withdrew his gaze, looked at the two younger brothers blankly, and said after a while, "What are you talking about?" He shook his head, "Do you want to go to the capital?"
Wu Yushu laughed: "Who doesn't want to go to the capital? It's the capital of Daqi, the most prosperous place, with the most delicious food and the most beautiful women. It's every man's ambition !"
Ba Xiong whispered: "Really?"
Wu Yushu and Mumbaiping sat casually on the wall on the left of Ba Xiong, and the other leaned against the wall behind Ba Xiong's right. The two of them talked with Ba Xiong calmly, and the topics involved were all when their four brothers fled. The situation, they were very sleepy at that time, but thinking about it now, they were also very happy. At that time, their wish was to settle down, to have enough food every day, and not to worry about where the next meal would be, but Wu Yushu and Mumbaiping had more wishes The same, that is, they can read and write at any time.
Laughter floated down the city wall, and almost all the guards guarding upstairs and downstairs heard the words of the three masters, and they felt warm in their hearts. The wishes of the four masters were as simple as theirs.
After the casual conversation, Wu Yushu and Mumbai were depressed. The elder brother seemed to be their elder brother, but it didn't seem to be. They couldn't understand it at all.
However, they decided to continue to observe the eldest brother carefully. How did he change so much overnight?
The author has something to say: This volume is fictional, not historical.
Ba Xiong, a rough guy pirate, is Li Xieha. Once his identity changes, his personality changes once o(╯□╰)o.
