The sky before dawn was dark and windless, and snow was falling on the long street. The two stone lions in front of Liang Guogong's mansion stood majestically with their chests and bellies protruding. Dozens of soldiers, all covered in armor and with swords on their waists, stood in front of the heavy snow. Among them, he has eyebrows and eyes, and he is strong and powerful.
Throughout the dynasties, most people had loose control over the hiding of weapons and props among the people, but private possession of armor was absolutely prohibited. After all, the role of armor was far greater than that of weapons and props when the two armies were fighting.
However, some dynasties also had lax control over armor, and even encouraged civilians to make armor privately. Most of these dynasties implemented a military system, such as the Northern Zhou, Sui, and Tang.
The Tang Dynasty did not have any explicit regulations on the control of weapons and armor. After all, the Sui system was inherited from the founding of the People's Republic of China and the government military system was extended. The young people in the world were farmers in their leisure time and soldiers in wartime. They had to guard the border and serve as soldiers according to the prescribed time. When the country goes to war, these soldiers all bring their own weapons, armor and even war horses and fodder, which greatly reduces the country's logistics consumption.
Otherwise, the so-called "military remonstrance" of the Guanlong clan this time would not be able to gather so many rebels. Most of them are well-equipped, and almost everyone above the team leader is wearing armor.
…
Heavy snow fell, and the sound of horse hooves at the end of the long street broke the silence of the snowy night. A group of cavalry suddenly galloped out of the heavy snow. The horses' hooves trampled the snow on the street, and ice flakes and snow foam flew everywhere. Menacingly, Coming galloping.
The soldiers in front of the gate of Liang Guogong's mansion tensed up. They all held the handles of the horizontal swords at their waists and looked at the group of cavalry attentively.
After a while, this group of cavalry came to the gate and reined in their reins one after another. The horses in front stood up and neighed "Herod".
"Who is coming?"
When the Fang family's soldiers saw that all the opponents were strong and wearing armor, they knew that the attackers were not good, so they hurried forward to ask.
Changsun Wen took the lead and stood in front of the gate of the house. He looked up at the gilt plaque "Liang Guogong's Mansion" on the door. He couldn't help but think of the time when Fang Jun forced his way in because of a verbal conflict between Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling. A scene from the eldest grandson's family.
At that time, the eldest grandson's family was the most authoritative Qi family in Zhenguan. The leader Guan Long was powerful in the country. However, his face was stripped off by Fang Jun and trampled under his feet. The eldest grandson became the laughing stock of the world. Everyone in the family feels humiliated!
But it doesn't matter, the tide has turned. Today, the Changsun family has already controlled the whole city. Soon the Prince of the East Palace, who is fully supported by the Fang family, will also be deposed. Without the crown prince as a backer, what are the Fang family father and son?
Hearing the shouts from the Fang Family Buqu in front of the door, the eldest son Wen looked disdainful and said slowly: "Tonight the rebels entered the city to remonstrate, and they were supported by all the people. However, they despised the young people who took advantage of the chaos to break into various places, burn, kill and loot. He was chased by soldiers patrolling the city but sneaked into Chongren Square. All the families in the square are important officials of the imperial court and it is not easy to disturb them without authorization, so I reported it to His Highness the King of Qi. Now I am following the order of the King of Qi to close the city to search for the thief. I also ask the Fang family to let go. Access control, let us enter and search."
The soldiers in front of the Fang family looked at each other, and one of them asked in surprise: "Even if there are rebels and looters, it is the duty of the Jingzhao Mansion to hunt down the rebels. Why should the King of Qi know about it?"
The news was so weird and shocking that they didn't realize it for a while. Changsun Wen was going to enter Fang's house to search for the rebels...
Changsun Wen looked impatient and sneered: "You slaves and maids, what qualifications do you have to make noise here? Let your master come out and speak quickly, otherwise, I will suspect that your house is hiding rebels and thieves, and I will break in!" "
"Mom!"
The Fang family's soldiers were furious, and there was a "choking, banging, banging" sound of gold and iron. They drew out their swords from their waists and faced each other sternly on the stone steps in front of the door. The bright swords shone coldly under the light of the lanterns in front of the door. , murderous!
The leader of the family soldiers stopped his companions and said: "Don't be impatient for a moment. I will treat you as soon as I enter. However, if anyone dares to break in without permission, I will kill him without mercy!"
"Here!"
All the soldiers shouted angrily and stared at Changsun Wen and others with burning eyes.
Changsun Wen sneered and disagreed.
There are more than a hundred soldiers behind him, all of them are armored and strong, and they are all elites. Although the Fang family has a profound background, how many military branches can there be in this mansion? Probably not even fifty people! As long as he breaks through forcefully, there is no way the Fang family can stop him.
In his eyes, the house at this moment is just a door open, allowing everyone to take whatever they want...
The soldier entered the gate and ran all the way to the brightly lit main hall.
In the main hall, Princess Gaoyang, Wu Meiniang, and Jin Shengman were all present. Queen Seondeok had been sent to the back house to rest. Civil war was going on in the city. From time to time, fires broke out in the inner squares. The firelight reflected in the night sky. Where could the three hostesses sleep? They all forced themselves to sit here.
Princess Gao Yang was leaning on the chair with a languid look on her face. She could hardly lift her eyelids. She had originally worn a suit of armor just for fun, but now she felt heavy and heavy. It was difficult to even breathe under the weight of her body. She was extremely trapped and very uncomfortable.
Wu Meiniang and Jin Shengman were in good spirits. They were close together and talking in low voices from time to time.
The family soldiers quickly stepped inside, saluted and reported: "Changsun Wen led his troops outside the gate of the mansion. He said that he was ordered by the King of Qi to enter the mansion to search for the rebels and thieves. He also threatened that if he was not allowed, he would force his way in."
"Bastard thing!"
Princess Gaoyang Wen Yan, who was originally drowsy, suddenly became energetic and screamed, her face full of anger: "Is this guy crazy? He even dared to break into Liang Guogong's palace, he really didn't know how to die! King Qi is also extremely audacious, I really thought I couldn’t deal with him...eh?"
She didn't react until she said this, with a puzzled look on her face: "Why did King Qi give the order? Why did King Qi give the order?"
The soldier said: "I don't know either."
Princess Gao Yang looked at Wu Meiniang again.
Wu Meiniang just thought for a moment and understood the reason, and said slowly: "This time, the Guanlong families implemented military remonstrance and sent troops into the city. Their purpose was to depose the East Palace. However, deposing the East Palace was not their ultimate goal. Everything was to support the Jin Dynasty. The king ascended the throne. But it seems that the King of Jin did not obey Changsun Wuji's arrangements. Even... even the King of Wei refused Changsun Wuji's solicitation. Therefore, they had to retreat and do the next best thing, find King Qi and bring Qi to the throne. The king pushed up."
Speaking of this, her beautiful and charming face burst into a smile: "If the King of Jin or the King of Wei stands up and calls on the government and the public to depose the East Palace, there may be some hope of accomplishing something. After all, your Majesty's wishes for the King of Jin will be resolved by the government and the public." Under the premise of not affecting one's own interests, being intimidated by the power of the Guanlong clan can be regarded as knowing the current affairs. However, if the King of Jin and the King of Wei do not stand up, how can the King of Qi convince the public? In the final analysis, the King of Qi has no virtue and no Okay, since he is the concubine of His Majesty, it cannot be justified in any way to support a concubine instead of three legitimate sons."
Listening to Wu Meiniang's analysis, Princess Gaoyang nodded repeatedly, but after listening to it, she still found it difficult to dispel her doubts: "If Changsun Wuji helps the pheasant slave to take the throne, maybe the father will be able to recognize it after returning to the capital. But King Qi takes the throne... My father will definitely not agree. Be it the throne or the throne, one can only choose among the three legitimate sons. Otherwise, if he abolishes the legitimate sons and establishes a concubine, wouldn’t it mean that the world will be in chaos?"
There was deep worry on her beautiful face.
Not only would my father not allow the King of Qi to ascend to the throne over the Crown Prince, King of Jin, and King of Wei, but the people of the world would not allow it either. If you want to avoid being criticized by the world afterwards and let the King of Qi secure his throne, the only way is to make "Your Majesty has no direct descendants."
In this way, my father had no choice but to accept the fact that King Qi ascended the throne, and everyone in the world had nothing to say.
Since I can think of such a result, how could Brother Qingque and Pheasant Nu not think of it? But even though they thought about their tragic fate, they were still able to stick to their true intentions, caring about brotherhood and blood ties, and not compromising to evil...
Thinking of this, Princess Gao Yang couldn't help crying.
But despite being sad, there are still doubts in my heart: killing the prince, the king of Jin, and the king of Wei will certainly solve the problem of the status of the king of Qi, but once the father returns to the capital, he will face the eldest grandson who slaughtered his three legitimate sons. Wuji, how could he not slaughter his whole family and wipe out all three clans?
With the father's character, not to mention that Queen Wende is dead now, even if Queen Wende is still alive, she will never be able to stop the father's crazy revenge!
How dare Changsun Wuji do that?
Wu Meiniang's face was gloomy, her eyes flickered, she stretched out her hand to hold Princess Gao Yang's delicate hand, thought for a while, and said: "Perhaps, His Majesty had some accident in Liaodong, and either he will not be able to take charge of the affairs for a short time, or... he will not be able to return to Chang'an. .”
Princess Gao Yang suddenly raised her head, horrified.
Wu Meiniang patted her hand and said softly: "It's just a guess. The truth is not yet known...but how to solve the arrest of Changsun Wen is the most important right now."
