46. Tragedy (1)
Yuxi first went to greet the old lady, and then went to the main courtyard to greet the Qiu family. As soon as he entered the main courtyard, Yuxi smelled an unusual smell.
Qiu's face was very ugly, and when he saw Yuxi's expression, he didn't ease up, and only said, "Yuxi, aunt has something to do here, you go back to your yard first." β
After Yuxi saluted, he withdrew, and when he left the main courtyard, Yuxi instructed Hongshan: "You go and inquire, what's wrong?" It's no wonder that Yuxi thinks so, it's really that apart from Aunt Rong, there is nothing in the Guogong Mansion that can make the Qiu family so irritable.
The heart is not quiet, and he can't do embroidery, and he can't figure out chess games, so Yuxi simply grinds ink and practices calligraphy on the wall with a pen. Mr. Song's method of asking her to stick the paper on the wall was good, but it was too hard. It's been more than four months, and every time she writes a hundred hands on the wall, it's still sore to death.
When the forty-fifth word was written, Hongshan returned.
Yuxi hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" Looking at the appearance of the eldest aunt, it should be a big matter. Yuxi knew that these things were not to do anything, but to know the movements in the mansion, so that he knew in his heart, and he should not be deaf or blind.
Hong Shan shook her head and said, "It's not a matter in the house, it's a matter outside." The border city of Liaodong was breached by the Donghu barbarians, and Marshal Yan and General Huaidong were also killed in battle. The Donghu barbarians rushed into the copper city to burn, kill, rob and torture all kinds of evil, and I don't know how many people were poisoned by them. Girl, you said that the border city was destroyed, is the capital in danger?"
Yuxi asked with some confusion: "General Huaidong?" Why is this name so familiar to her, but she can't remember where she heard it.
Hong Shan was a little anxious, why was the girl's focus not on the same line as her: "Girl, General Huaidong is the eldest son of General Yun, well, he is the father of Young Master Yunqing." "Her girl knows Yunqing, so it's clearer.
Yuxi was shocked: "You mean, Yunqing's father also died in battle?"
Hong Shan nodded and said, "Well, General Huaidong died in battle with Marshal Yan." Not only that, but General Huaidong's wife and children were also killed by the Donghu people. After a pause, Hong Shan's face also showed a heavy look, and said: "Old General Yun only has two sons and one daughter, the youngest son died in battle ten years ago, his daughter had a difficult birth, and now he has lost his son and two grandsons, I don't know if Old General Yun can stand it?"
General Yun Lao was also a famous general in Liaodong, but he was seriously injured and could no longer go to the battlefield, so he stayed in the capital to retire. Mr. Yun has made great achievements, even if she has not been on the battlefield for more than 20 years, everyone respects her very much.
Yuxi's hand shook, and she was a little puzzled at the time, why Yunqing now has such a hearty temperament, and he will take the initiative to save people, and after a few years, he will become a murderous maniac. No, if it was just General Huaidong who died in battle, it would not be possible to make Yunqing's temperament change greatly. Whether it is a soldier or a general, there is always danger in going to war, and there must be something hidden in this.
Thinking of what Hong Shan said just now, Yuxi shuddered and asked, "You just said that Marshal Yan also died in battle?" Marshal Yan is not only the generalissimo who controls the 200,000 army, but also the queen's brother. It can be said that the reason why the queen and the prince can compete with Song Guifei is because of the support of Marshal Yan. Now that Marshal Yan is dead, the queen and the crown prince are in danger.
Hong Shan was a little puzzled, what was wrong with her girl, she had already made it very clear why she was still asking such a stupid question. However, she didn't dare to question Yuxi, and hurriedly said: "Yes, Marshal Yan was also killed in battle, and I heard that Yan Wushuang, the eldest son of the Yan family, is also missing." It was said to be gone, but everyone knew it was gone. Seeing Yuxi's puzzled face, Hong Shan said: "Yan Wushuang is the youngest son of Marshal Yan, it is said that Yan Wushuang has been talented since he was a child, and he will be Marshal Yan's successor in the future." Therefore, the news of Yan Wushuang's disappearance made many people choke. β
Although Yuxi doesn't understand military affairs, she is sure that this matter is not so simple: "What else?"
Yuxi was a little depressed, in her previous life, she didn't talk about the major events of the court, she didn't know what happened in the Guogong Mansion, and even when she grew up, she didn't care much about things outside, so she didn't have any impression of such a big thing. Otherwise, she would have known what had happened.
Hong Shan didn't know why: "That's all I heard, if the girl still wants to know, I'll ask my third brother to go outward and inquire." β
Yuxi nodded and said, "Let your third brother pay attention, do what you can, don't provoke people's eyes and cause trouble." "Such a big thing must have made big waves, she just wants to know the whole story, and she doesn't want to cause trouble.
Hong Shan smiled and said, "My third brother, she is measured. Yuxi just wants to know the situation outside, not what to do, and her third brother is asking about news that is well-known to passers-by, and it is not conspicuous, so there is no danger to scientific research. Of course, for Yuxi, who has been in the depths of the boudoir, it is already rare to get these news.
The court was relieved that the deputy marshal General Zhang drove the Donghu people out of Tongcheng, but at this time, a copy of the book was folded to the emperor's imperial case.
This book accuses the third master of the Yan family of colluding with Donghu, not only leaking the city defense map of Tongcheng, but also leaking Marshal Yan's marching route, which led to the destruction of Tongcheng and the tragic death of hundreds of people.
When Yuxi heard this, he opened his mouth and asked, "Is this person crazy?" The people of the Yan family have a feud with Donghu, and whoever leaks the city defense map cannot be the people of the Yan family. How could the people behind this scene do such stupid things.
Hong Shan said: "My brother said that the mother of the third master of the Yan family is Donghu Nu, and she is incompatible with Marshal Yan. once threatened to kill Marshal Yan. β
Yuxi said: "There is no evidence, this is slander." β
Hong Shan shook her head and said, "My brother said that there are all the human and material evidence. That last sentence is the point.
Yuxi's heart was cold when he heard this. Since there are all the human and material evidence, it shows that the other party has made a careful calculation, and the Yan family may be in danger of being in danger this time. cough, Yuxi sighed again, why didn't she know anything in her previous life!
At the same time, Old Man Yun looked at Yun Qing, who was not human, and said, "I'll leave tonight and follow Changqing to Yucheng." β
Yunqing was stunned for a moment, Yucheng is a border city in the northwest, and it is the territory of the Qin family. And everyone knows that the Qin family has always been at odds with their family, so wouldn't it be a sheep to let him go to Yucheng. No, the question now is why he went to Yucheng. Yunqing asked, "Grandpa, are you hiding something from me?"
Old Man Yun's heart was dripping blood, and he said: "The third elder of the Yan family does collude with the Donghu people, but he is just a scapegoat, and the real culprit is the Song family. β
Yun Qing was stunned: "Why did the Song family do this?"
Old General Yun choked with sadness: "For the throne." As long as Marshal Yan is there, the emperor will not be able to abolish the queen or the prince. Only when the Yan family is gone, they will have no troubles, and they can eradicate the queen and the crown prince, and pave the way for Song Guifei and the Nine Emperor Princes. β
Yun Qing's eyes burst with hatred: "Grandpa, we can't let the Song family go unpunished, we must let them pay for their blood debts, and let them pay for my father's mother and younger brother's lives." β
Old Man Yun's backbone was about to collapse, and he couldn't stand up, so he bowed his back and said: "The emperor favors Song Guifei, dotes on the Nine Emperors, and has always wanted the Nine Emperors to replace the crown prince." This time it happened to be the emperor's favor. "Otherwise, the Song family would not be so arrogant.
Yun Qing asked in disbelief: "Grandpa, could it be that more than 100,000 people and tens of thousands of soldiers in Tongcheng, my father and my mother died in vain?"
Old Mr. Yun said: "It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and if he fights with the Song family now, there is no benefit except for putting you in." Qing'er, the Song family has been planning for several years just for this day, and they will definitely kill the Yan family. We have a close relationship with the Yan family, and the Song family will definitely not let it go. Qing'er, you're the only bloodline we have left, you can't be fine. β
Where is Yunqing willing to go alone, and said, "Grandpa, you have to go together." β
Yun Lao's eyes showed reluctance, but he couldn't help but send Yun Qing away, because he had no way to protect his grandson anymore: "Grandpa is old and can't walk. As long as you are well, grandpa will be at ease. β
Yunqing is left with one relative, let him leave his grandfather and escape alone, he can't do it anyway: "Grandpa, if you don't leave, I won't leave either." β
Old Man Yun said sharply: "The Yun family is left with such a root as you, if you have three longs and two shorts, our Yun family will be the last." How did you let your grandfather go underground to face the ancestors, ah......"
Yun Qing knelt on the ground, didn't let go of his mouth when he was about to die, and said, "Grandpa, if you don't go, I won't go." "Grandparents and grandchildren have been together for so many years, and Yunqing knows Old Man Yun very well. If he leaves, grandpa will have no worries, and he will definitely fight with the people of the Song family at that time.
Old Man Yun looked at the child he had raised with hard work, and his eyes were dry. He is old and has few days to live, but his grandchildren are still young, and he still has good times. More importantly, the future of the Yun family depends on him to revive the faΓ§ade.
Old Man Yun was silent for a long time, and finally said, "Okay, you go back and clean up, and I'll go with you at night." β
Yun Qing was a little surprised, his grandfather was too good to talk this time. Because of the deception, Yun Qing was reluctant to leave Yun Lao's side: "Just let Guo Xun pack up the things, I'll accompany you, grandpa." Yun Qing was worried that Yun Lao would act on his own in order to get rid of him.
Yun Lao didn't object, nodded in agreement, and said, "I have already sent someone to Tongcheng, and they will bury your father and them when the time comes." When you have supported the courtyard in the future, go to the Copper City and move their graves into the ancestral tombs. β
Yun Qing held back the tears in his eyes and nodded, "Okay." β
Since Yun Lao knew that his eldest son was dead, his whole person seemed to be ten years old, but he had been standing up for the past few days. Because he knew that if he didn't hold on, his only grandson wouldn't be able to save it: "Qing'er, when you get to Yucheng, you will listen to Changqing." β
Yunqing's intuition is not good: "Grandpa......"
Yun Lao waved his hand and said, "Grandpa is old, his health is not good, and his memory is not good. While I can remember, I'll tell you these first, so that I can forget about it when I can save time. β
On this day, Yun Lao and Yun Qing talked a lot, all of which were to explain some things to him. Yun Qing was so flustered that he didn't dare to leave Yun Lao for half a step.
