She hurriedly put down the teacup, but when she looked up, she found that Yu Wenye seemed to be in a daze. Although he was not like her, his fingers holding the teacup to his mouth were also slightly stiff.
The two people looked at each other, with a little light shining in their eyes.
Obviously, both of them were shocked by those two words——
Zuo family!
This surname and this family are no strangers to them, especially to Yu Wenye, they can even be called familiar, because the Zuo family is also from Dingchuan Military Town, and like the Yuwen family and other powerful families, they assist The late Emperor Chu Yin founded the Great Cause Dynasty and made great military exploits.
The deacon of the Zuo family at that time was Zuo Chen'an, the Duke of Xiaoshan who later became prime minister in the two dynasties!
However, the powerful Duke Xiao Shan did not live to this day, because he died of illness shortly after Chu Yang ascended the throne.
However, there were many speculations about his death later.
After all, it is unlikely that such an important minister who was in his prime, brave and good at fighting, and held a high position would lose his life just because of a small cold; later, there were even rumors that he died after the emperor personally sent someone to After giving him medicine from the palace.
Of course, this kind of thing was groundless and was originally just speculation, but what happened next seemed to confirm these speculations. Because after Zuo Chen'an's death, his family was not valued by the court, especially the son who inherited his title was suppressed by the court and was directly deprived of his title. For a time, a prominent family gradually fell apart and withered.
So his eldest son Zuo Heng rebelled against the imperial court.
That was the massive Zuo family rebellion that year.
Feeling the sudden silence of the two distinguished guests, the stall owner was afraid that he had said something wrong, so he hurriedly smiled and said: "Hey, look at what I said. Let the water boil and I will make tea for you." "
After saying that, he turned around and walked back to the stove.
But the two people left behind had different expressions. Shang Ruyi subconsciously raised his head and saw Yu Wenye looking at him.
She couldn't help but panic: "What are you looking at?"
Yu Wenye said, "Why are you panicking?"
"I, how can I panic?"
"..."
Facing her obviously messy eyes, Yu Wenye said nothing. Instead, he silently took out a handkerchief from his arms, took her hand, and gently wiped her fingers that had just been wet.
His hands were steady and strong, which made Shang Ruyi's fingertips tremble even more unconsciously.
He said: "You still said you didn't panic?"
"..."
Shang Ruyi bit her lower lip and hurriedly pulled her hand back. Although the tea had been wiped clean, her heart was still beating wildly. She didn't know whether it was because of the "Zuo Family" or because it was left on her fingertips. touch.
Seeing that she refused to speak, Yu Wenye did not force it, but said calmly: "I actually have a very deep memory about that incident. After all, Zuo Heng is the eldest and most capable among our group. People. Speaking of his ability to lead troops - even today, he is not inferior to anyone."
Shang Ruyi couldn't help but glance at him.
Yu Wenye does not have a arrogant attitude, but he has the most arrogant heart. For him to praise others, unless that person can really convince him. ….
When it comes to leading troops, she also knows that he has absolute strength and pride.
However, even he said that Zuo Heng's ability to lead troops was not inferior to anyone's, and this anyone obviously included himself.
Shang Ruyi thought for a while and said softly: "Of course."
Even though her family fell earlier and she was not familiar with these noble children, she had already heard about the fact that Zuo Heng raised an army in the Ying and Song states with great momentum and tens of thousands of followers. Moreover, because the leader was from a well-known family and was brave and good at fighting, the imperial army's counter-rebellion army was frustrated several times. Even when the emperor was stationed in Luoyang, Luoyang almost fell.
After that, dozens of King Qin's divisions from all over the country sent troops together to suppress Zuo Heng's rebellion.
It is said that the war
In the end, he fought thousands of enemies alone and refused to surrender until death. The blood shed from his body dyed a large area of land red and would not fade after menstruation!
His tragic death also left the deepest blood mark on the rule of the Daye Dynasty.
Because after that, rebels from all over the country swarmed in, and the imperial court was severely weakened after this rebellion, and gradually lost its control over various places.
Shang Ruyi said softly: "I have also heard my uncle mention him. My uncle often regrets that if he could be used by the imperial court——"
Before he finished speaking, he heard Yu Wenye chuckle.
Shang Ruyi said: "Why are you laughing?"
There was a bit of coldness in Yu Wenye's eyes, and he said calmly: "He was forced to a dead end by the court, so how could he be used by the court? If the court was willing to use him, how could he be forced to a dead end?"
Shang Ruyi slowly clenched his hand on the table.
After a long silence, she whispered: "Do you know why he was forced to die by the court?"
Yu Wenye turned to look at her: "You know?"
Shang Ruyi said: "Actually, I didn't know it before, but I just seemed to know it."
Yu Wenye felt strange and asked, "Why?"
Shang Ruyi looked at him, was silent for a while, and said softly: "Three generations after Huangtu, Wanggang took over the people. On the side of Xiaoshan Mountain with Fengming, you can also see Mizi Island..."
Yu Wenye's brows immediately knitted together.
It’s this prophetic song again.
She had mentioned it before when she left Yanmen County and returned to Dongdu, but Yu Wenye immediately stopped her and said that these were just nonsense and didn't take it seriously. However, she didn't expect that Shang Ruyi would mention it again at this moment. .
He said, "Why do you need to believe these things?"
Shang Ruyi said: "I don't necessarily believe it. But I just thought that the death of Xiao Shanggong and Zuo Heng's suppression by the court may be related to this prophetic song."
"..."
Yu Wenye was stunned for a moment, then thought about it carefully, and suddenly understood.
Fengming Xiaoshan side...
He looked up at Shang Ruyi and said, "You are saying that the imperial court doubted Xiao Shanggong's title and responded to the prophecy, so it no longer trusted the Zuo family and later deprived him of the title."
Shang Ruyi nodded and said: "Actually, the suppression of the Zuo family was the second wave of the imperial court's purge of people whose names should be prophesied. Before that, there was another person related to Xiao Zi who was also suppressed by the imperial court. ?」
Yu Wenye's eyes suddenly flashed: "Xiao Yuansui..."
Shang Ruyi said: "I remember that Xiao Yuansui became a serious criminal in the imperial court because he participated in the Zuo family's rebellion. Later, Zuo Heng died in the battle, but he survived and fled everywhere."
"..."
This time, Yu Wenye didn't speak any more.
He just frowned and thought for a long time, with a faint light shining in his deep eyes.
After a while, he murmured: "Fengming on the side of Xiaoshan...".
