Farmer's Wife Has Space

Chapter 100 The Past Three Years Ago

Mrs. Ouyang sighed: "This matter has to start with the riot more than 30 years ago."

If we want to talk about the reasons for the riots more than 30 years ago, we must tell Yue Lingzhi about the fact that the current emperor's grandfather took over from the emperor's uncle.

Fortunately, what happened in the past can be brought up in one sentence, otherwise it would be a long story.

At that time, the emperor's uncle came to power and forced his nephew to death. The two princes of his nephew were forced to escape from the palace and took away the crown and jade seal.

After they escaped from the palace, under the arrangement of some die-hard followers, they recharged their batteries and plotted to regain the throne one day.

Ouyang's family is the founding fathers of the country, siblings of the founding emperor at that time. Their family has always been in charge of military power and defending the border. Although the emperor has changed, they are still members of their own family. In fact, they have no influence on the Ouyang family.

The most influential one was the riot that occurred in the capital more than 30 years ago.

The descendants of the two princes thought the time was right, and plotted a riot to force the then emperor to abdicate.

The main bargaining chip for them to launch the riot was the 30 soldiers and horses stationed at the border by the General's Mansion.

In the name of the former emperor, they asked the Ouyang family to put pressure on the emperor, declaring that if the emperor did not abdicate, they would open the country and let the soldiers and horses of Lingyue country trample on the land, in order to blackmail all civil and military officials.

Civil and military officials naturally didn't want to see foreign enemies invade, they might abolish the emperor at that time and welcome the descendants of the two princes back to the palace.

Opening the country to allow foreign enemies to invade is something the Ouyang family cannot do.

In fact, the Great Xia Dynasty was jointly established by the Ouyang family and the royal family. The founding emperor handed over most of the military power to the Ouyang family, but there was another agreement between them.

In the hands of the royal family, there is a token made of black iron and soaked in the blood of countless soldiers. The ancestors of the Ouyang family once made a poisonous oath that as long as the holder of the token appears, the Ouyang family will unconditionally obey the order of the holder.

In exchange for a royal death-free gold medal.

This is the royal family's agreement with the Ouyang family to prevent someone from subverting their regime.

At that time, "they" sent someone to give orders to General Ouyang's father, because they didn't want to open the country and didn't see the black iron token, the old general didn't agree.

But the old general didn't expect that when "they" launched the riot, they would let out the wind, saying that "they" had already taken out the black iron token, and the general's mansion would obey them. The Xia Dynasty will also fall apart.

At that time, each will establish a new dynasty according to his own ability.

Although the emperor at that time didn't quite believe it, he didn't dare to be defensive. He issued an order to arrest General Ouyang's family and put them in the sky prison as hostages.

Even the daughter of Ouyang's family who was married off must be taken to prison together.

General Ouyang's younger sister, Ouyang Shan, was about to give birth at that time.

When officers and soldiers came to her home to arrest her, her husband argued with them, unwilling to hand over his wife who was about to give birth.

Xiaohong, a maid beside Ouyang Shan, told her the news that she had overheard. Ouyang Shan was so frightened that the sky prison is not a place for people to stay, and besides, she was about to give birth.

Xiaohong is also a brave woman, so the master and servant immediately disguised themselves and fled through the back door with the bank notes.

They rented a carriage and went to the slums in the west of the city.

Ouyang Shan was overly frightened, coupled with the bumpy road, her stomach began to hurt.

Realizing that she might be about to give birth, Xiao Hong had no choice but to pat a house in the alley and beg to let them in.
