Gong Shuhua's life has not been easy since he became the regent. He was quite excited when he first became a director of the government. Having been an idle clan member for most of his life, he also wanted to experience the meaning of "below one person and above ten thousand people". What does it feel like.

He is the half-brother of Xian Weilihou. When his elder brother was alive, he cared for him very much, and his treatment was the same as that of the prince. Before his death, his younger brother solemnly entrusted him with his youngest son. His plan was to make the emperor "younger", but that wouldn't work! For the ancestral motto of "establishing a direct descendant" in "The Rites of Zhou", and for the long-term peace and stability of the country, he must serve as the crown prince. But for his brother's deep kindness, he also protected him at every turn. He kept screaming about the ambush between Mrs. Li Tai and the young master. He kept screaming, but he thought that as long as Uncle Wei behaved peacefully from now on, this matter would be over.

Unexpectedly, this Wei Yu was so unlucky. First he failed to attend his father's funeral, and then he went through the great loss period of the Xianyi kings. As a result, the title of marquis that had been handed down from generation to generation in the Wei Kingdom was demoted to the rank of a prince by the emperor. However, he still did not want to repent, and acted more and more. It's ridiculous to take a girl named Ji as a concubine and cause such a huge disaster. Come on! Maybe the elder brother has seen correctly that this son is indeed unworthy of the burden of the country. Anyway, the young master and his elder brother's legitimate son are already popular among the people. , what do you have to say?

Just being the regent makes me feel like I'm sitting on pins and needles every day. Shi has accepted the edict and promised to finish packing his clothes in five days and set off for the north. But after checking the list, he found that one person was missing - Shi Pian, the concubine of Shijiao. There are hundreds of missing guests. The explanation given by the Shi family is that Shi Pian went back to his maternal grandfather's house last month to visit relatives and has not returned yet. As for the guests, it is human nature for people to see the decline of the Shi family and move to another high branch.

Just as he was about to be convinced, the retainers gradually came in with news: in recent days, a lot of suspicious people have come to Chaoge City, in groups of three or five, and they have disappeared without a trace. Some business people have closed their doors when they see the unrest in the market. Go out of business and hide somewhere else.

When Gong Shuhua heard the news, he was so anxious that he called Chao Geling for questioning. Unexpectedly, he didn't care. He just said that last year's harvest was not good and there were more people fleeing famine. It was just a porridge shack. I heard him being stunned for a while, and looking at the other party's determined face, I could only wave him away.

This one after another made him anxious. If something really happened, there were only four to five thousand soldiers in Chaoge City including the palace guards. The old and new soldiers were all taken by the young master to patrol the northern border. He could not What should we do? Just think about the hundreds of guests and soldiers in the house? It gives me a headache just thinking about it.

The sky was gloomy that day, and it was already gray early in the morning. The sun was not visible, and it was still overcast at noon. It was obviously early winter, but the autumn tiger had made a comeback, making me sweat so hard that I was so suffocated that I felt so out of breath.

At the beginning of Shenshi, evening drums sounded in the city, and the deep thumping sound made people's hearts sink. Immediately, the whole city was under martial law, and every house was closed tightly. There were no pedestrians on the road, and there were soldiers patrolling everywhere. If he saw anyone suspicious, he would stab him to death. Within a few hours, many innocent people had lost their lives on the road.

"Master, it's not good, it's not good!" A retainer crawled into the yard. Behind him was a stretcher carrying a family member covered in blood. He was one of the servants who had just been sent out to find out the news.

"What's going on?" Gong Shuhua was shocked and angry.

The retainer gasped and said: "I don't know what happened outside. Even ordinary people buying vegetables and picking firewood are not allowed in or out. If I protest a few more times, they will be beheaded on the street. I can't find out anything. I only know that the palace guards have controlled Chaoge."

City, and some were transferred from outside, and I can’t find out where they were transferred from.”

"Trash!" Gong Shuhua waved his sleeves feebly: "Carry him down for treatment!"

"promise!"

After spending this time, Gong Shuhua thought that his wife and Wei Boyu were still in the palace and their situation was unknown, so he wanted to go into the palace to have a look. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by his wife and two concubines, crying and begging.

"It's so chaotic outside, and I still don't know what's going on in the palace. My husband is about to go out. If something goes wrong, who do you want this big family to rely on in the future?"

While they were chatting, I suddenly heard a concubine exclaiming: "Look, there's water over there!"

Everyone hurriedly turned around and looked along the concubine's arm. They saw thick smoke rising in the distance and rolling firelight spreading far into the distance. The night sky was like a light-colored cloth stained with soot, inky black.

Both thick and light, against the remaining halo of the Golden Crow, the flames in the distance are dazzling and thrilling.

"Husband------Husband, that direction is not------" The uncle's wife was surprised and uncertain.

Gong Shuhua felt as if his heart had fallen on an iron scale, and he nodded silently: "Such a high fire must be a fire in a very high building--it should be the Gong Palace."

The Wei Palace was built on the ruins of Lutai, the king of Shang Zhou. There is no other place with higher terrain than it in Chaoge City.

——The curtain opened.

Seeing the fire in the palace, Gong Shuhua was so anxious that he refused to listen to his wife's dissuasion anymore. He was so anxious that he got on a bare-backed horse and was about to raise his whip. Unexpectedly, as soon as the whip was raised, another retainer appeared

Shouting: "Master, Master, someone is coming from the palace!"

"Where is it?" Gong Shuhua didn't have time to say more. As soon as he jumped off his horse, he saw a group of four or five people approaching him from the side door. One of the two men escorting him was Gongsun Yu, and the other had a dark face and was very angry.

I don’t know. Behind these two men is a woman wearing a black gauze hat, and behind them are two young women. The one on the left is dressed as a palace maid, and the one on the right is younger, wearing a smart short dress, and has sharp eyes.

He should be a practitioner. The two men and two women were like stars over the moon, protecting the woman in the black gauze hat. Gong Shuhua had vaguely guessed the identity of the woman, but it was not convenient to say it clearly.

"Yu, what are you------" He first asked Gongsun Yu.

"Uncle, please step aside. Madam Tai comes out of the palace and takes refuge in the house." Gongsun Yu said in a low voice.

After he was sure that Gong Shuhua was the only one in the courtyard, the woman in the middle lifted the black gauze curtain on her head. It was Mrs. Li Tai. The matter was urgent, and Gong Shuhua didn't have time to greet him, so he asked urgently: "

Madam, what happened in the palace?"

"Don't mention it!" Mrs. Li said bitterly: "The remnants of the Shi family colluded with the Young Master, stormed into the palace, and set fire to kill me. Thanks to Mr. Rongyi's advance information, I was able to escape before they took action.

Day of birth!"

"Then------where is your Majesty?" Gong Shuhua thought of an important matter.

"He?" Mrs. Li smiled coldly: "He is very good! With the help of the Shi clan and his half-brother Wei Yuan, Chaoge Ling was also instigated by them to rebel. Now that they have taken control of the palace city, what's the next step?

The entire city will be searching for me!"

"Ah?" Gong Shuhua was shocked when he heard this. Puyang was originally the largest city in the Wei Kingdom after Chaoge, the capital of the country, with at least 10,000 soldiers and horses. It was originally granted to Wei Boyu's colleagues based on the principle of blood relatives.

Mother and brother, Young Master Yuan, didn’t expect him to lead troops into the city now. Coupled with the Shi clan’s family soldiers, wouldn’t Chaoge City become their world? What should they do?

When the firelight in the sky reflected into Wei Boyu's eyes, his pupils dilated with excitement. Shi Jiao's death note had long been burned, but every word in the blood silk book was deeply engraved in his mind.

In his heart, he knew that reinforcements were coming! This was his last chance to reverse his fate.

Despite this, he still did not dare to make a mistake. Wei Boyu put his ear against the palace wall, holding his breath and listening to the faint shouts of death coming from outside the palace and the sound of metal friction from the collision of swords------Finally, a

The young man wearing brass armor quickly jumped into the palace. It was the person he had been waiting for - his brother-in-law, Gongzi Yuan.

Wei Yuan was a full six years younger than him. Although he was less than thirty, he was still the lord of a large city. At this time, when he entered the palace, it took him a while to adapt to the dim light in the palace. He faced Wei Yuan.

Boyu shouted: "Brother, I'm here! As soon as Shi Pian sent the news, Yuan ordered all the soldiers and horses in Puyang to come to the rescue! Brother, how are you?"

Wei Boyu looked at his younger brother's face full of concern, and felt warm in his heart. He patted Wei Yuan's hand and comforted him: "It doesn't matter, brothers fighting tigers, father and son go into battle. I know you will definitely come! I know you will come."

Been waiting for you!"

When Wei Yuan saw his brother's haggard face, he was angry and resentful: "It's all because of that witch! When my father was alive, he regarded our brother as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh. Now he has set a trap to kill his brother with the intention of usurping the throne. I----

--I will definitely chop off that witch’s head!”

The two brothers hurried to the palace which was already on fire, but they missed it. Shi Pian, who was responsible for setting fire to the palace and searching the palace, grabbed a wet nurse who was holding a baby and said: "Sir, everyone in the palace fled when the fire broke out."

, there was no madam, only this wet nurse was caught."

Wei Boyu was shocked: "What? The witch has escaped from the palace?"

"After interrogating many people in the palace, they all said that they have not seen Mrs. Tai since noon. By the way, before we called in, we saw Rong Yi coming with a female apprentice. He had been murmuring with Mrs. Tai and Gongsun Yu for a long time.

After that, no one saw them again."

"Hey!" Young Master Yuan slapped his thigh: "I heard that Rongyi is the leader of the 'Nanlin Club', he has many ears and eyes, and his hands and eyes are astute. He must have gotten the news in advance and let the witch run away!"

Perhaps it was the flames of the flames that made the baby feel uncomfortable. The baby burst into tears. Shi Pian was very impatient. He pulled out the sword from his waist and pointed it at the baby's throat and yelled: "You evildoer, how dare you cry? The Shi family

You are the victim of this little beast, wait until I chop you into pieces and feed you to the dogs------"

"That's enough!" Wei Boyu shouted sharply: "What does this matter have to do with him? Killing a baby is not what a husband does! Why don't you put away your sword?"

Shi Pian pursed his lips and put the sword back into its sheath. Wei Boyu sighed softly and took a breath and said: "Why are you anxious? When the big thing is done, Shi's title, title, and fiefdom will all be yours. Then this child will still be there."

I need you to take care of me. Right now, there are more important things to do!"
