hairpin family

Chapter 268
Mrs. Hong declined, but seeing Qin Zhao's insistence, she also followed her.

Now that the city is in chaos, although the old lady is not afraid of trouble, if something happens, she will not think about herself, she should also think about the British government, not to mention that she is older, not as old as before.Fortunately, because it was daytime, when I left Yueguo's mansion, I met Jinwu Guards patrolling the street. There were about 200 people. These people were originally sent by Jinwu Guards to check the safety of noble families. People, naturally want to send Mrs. Hong back to the British government.

After Mrs. Hong was delivered home safely, Qin Zhao was about to leave.Mrs. Hong also knew that this was not the time to stay with guests, so she told her to be careful on the road. Now is the time of chaos, and she must not stay outside for too long, so she sent Qin Zhao away.

The people of the Jinwu Guard did not dare to ignore the little princess, and one of the leading generals wanted to send Qin Zhao back to the palace, but Qin Zhao politely resigned: "Don't worry about me, even if the Tongwei doesn't believe me, he should also trust the Duke of Yue." The old man is the one. This princess is his direct disciple. Even if he encounters a rebellious party, there is no problem for the princess to protect himself. Besides, these two guards are also masters. It is still possible to protect me. You don’t need to waste time on me, and I have to go to the Duke of Lu’s mansion to have a look. Speaking of which, looking at the direction Tongwei came from just now, I must have been to the Duke of Lu’s mansion. I don’t know the Duke of Lu’s mansion. What's the situation now?"

Na Tongwei said: "Back to the princess, my subordinates have indeed been to Duke Lu's mansion. Everything in the mansion is fine. I asked the concierge and found nothing wrong, so I didn't bother. Since the princess is ordered, the subordinates will go by themselves." gone."

Qin Zhao nodded and left, and led Qin Ming and Qin Lei to Duke Lu's mansion.

In fact, she also knew in her heart that nothing would really happen to Duke Lu's mansion in this turmoil. For one thing, Mr. Chen and Mr. Luo have a detached status in the court. These two old dukes are still alive, even if the prince's rebellious party wants to take down the two dukes, they will never dare to joke about the lives of the two dukes, the purpose is only to threaten the people who are still in the palace The old Chen Laoguo and Luo Laoguo who are in charge outside support him to take the position.If these two highly respected princes were really killed, it would be extremely difficult for the crown prince to get the support of nobles even if he was in the position.As long as the prince has some brains, he will not take such a risk.

Secondly, Duke Lu's mansion is full of martial arts. Whether they are servants, followers, or retainers, most of them are warriors, and the mansion has its own guards.Unless they concentrate their efforts on attacking, it is even more impossible for a small group of rebels to take down the Duke of Lu's mansion at this time.

Thirdly, Princess Qinghe is favored in the royal family. Duke Lu's mansion is Qinghe's in-law's family. Qinghe has never participated in palace battles. She is a noble princess. It is impossible for Crown Prince D to distract her to trouble her right now. Therefore, Qinghe will definitely send some guards from the Princess Mansion to Duke Lu's Mansion when the disaster breaks out.

Qin Zhao insisted on going to have a look, but it was because he was thinking about it and was really worried.

Sure enough, when she arrived at Duke Lu's mansion, apart from the fact that the gate of the Duke's mansion was closed and there was no sight of visitors from the past coming like clouds in front of the mansion, everything else was the same as usual.The Duke of Yue's mansion was also attacked by people taking advantage of the chaos, but it was quiet outside the Duke's mansion of Lu.Even the pair of dignified stone lions in front of the gate are spotless.

Qin Ming stepped forward to knock on the door, and the guards on the temporary tower inside the wall to watch the situation outside had already seen it. Qin Zhao often went in and out of the Duke's mansion, and most of the guards knew each other. As soon as Qin Ming knocked on the door, the door opened. The leading guard greeted Qin Zhao and went in: "It's so chaotic outside now, why is the princess here now?"

Qin Zhao then asked if the old lady and the people in the mansion were all right, and the leader of the guards ordered people to send Qin Zhao to the old lady, and replied with a smile: "Princess, don't worry, our mansion is fine, is the old lady?" What kind of person didn't take this little trouble seriously, and although there was chaos last night, our house was still safe, and we didn't meet anyone who came to make trouble. The princess should go and see the old lady, if you know what the princess is After a while, the old lady must be happy."

Qin Zhao thought so too. Mrs. Pei was born in the general family, and after marrying the old Duke, she also walked all the way through the war-torn era. Now this little disaster is probably the same as Mrs. Hong, and she doesn't take it seriously.

However, Mr. Chen is still detained in the palace, so there is always worry.

Seeing Mrs. Pei, it was as expected by Qin Zhao. The old man was as calm as usual, and when he saw Qin Zhao, he laughed: "Young girl is here now, but you have a heart. It's just that the outside is so chaotic, so don't worry about it. You shouldn't be walking around, what could happen to our family? You are worrying for nothing. Since you are here, can you go to your grandpa Luo's house? Your grandpa Luo is not here, and your uncle Luo and Jingnian are now In the palace, I'm afraid your Aunt Wei must be frightened right now."

Qin Zhao saluted with a smile, and said, "Azhao has seen grandma, and knows that you are fine here, but I am not at ease, so I came to see you. I also went to see Aunt Wei, and I happened to meet the British princess on the way. Mrs. Hong from the mansion, she brought a team of guards to the Duke of Yue's mansion, but the old lady left the guards with Aunt Wei. Although there was some chaos there, it didn't matter. I sent Hong The old lady is returning home, so I came here to see you."

Qin Zhao then asked about the wife of the eldest son and the fourth aunt in the mansion.

Mrs. Pei smiled and said: "They are all in their own yards. There is no weak person in our family. Besides, you are accompanied by your sister-in-law. Your cousin Bohu is patrolling outside at the moment. If you know you are here, I guess I have to come over in a while."

Qin Zhao smiled, thinking that Chen Erhuo's wife, Hou Jinxia, ​​would also be leaving the house soon, so she wouldn't panic because of such a disaster.Besides, Mrs. Pei was sitting at home, so there was really nothing to worry about.

Qin Zhao thought of Jinwu who married into You's family, so he frowned and said, "I don't know what's going on with cousin Jinwu?"

The old lady sighed: "I wanted to take her home, but it's better to be quiet at this moment. I asked your cousin to send some guards over there, and I took her home when the street became more stable."

Langya County is not far from the capital, Langya County Lord has [-] elite soldiers on his hands, they were originally there to guard and help the forbidden army in the capital to protect Chang'an City, the crown prince would not have imagined that when Chang'an was in chaos, Langya County would definitely send troops to the capital to rescue him.

At this time, if you want to capture You Jiaerlang You Haoran, who happened to be in the capital, as a bargaining chip to threaten Duke You, that would be bad.

Although Cousin Jinwu has extraordinary martial arts skills, and the second brother of the You family is not a vegetarian, but if the prince's side really wants to attack the strong, I'm afraid it won't last long.

But the old lady is not a foolish person, even if she really wants to take Jinwu back to Duke Lu's mansion, Jinwu can be regarded as the mistress of the family now, so it's not good to leave the servants of that mansion alone and hide in her mother's house.

Fortunately, You Haoran is not the eldest son of the You family, so the crown prince may not waste too much energy on the two of them.Furthermore, there are still Jinwu Guards in the city, and if the You family really fought against each other, the movement will naturally not be small, and it is not too late to rush over when they get the letter.General You, who is in charge of the Jinwu Guard, is Jinwu's own father, so of course it is impossible for his daughter, son-in-law and little grandson to have an accident.

Thinking of this, Qin Zhao no longer worried.

After talking a few words with the old lady, Chen Bohu really rushed over.

Probably because it was the time of turmoil, and his eldest grandson was responsible for the safety of the whole house, he looked different from before, a little more calm, and the old lady was very relieved to see that her grandson had finally grown up. .

"Sister Ah Zhao, you are running around in the city right now, what if something happens to you? But brother likes this kind of courage."

Qin Zhao just smiled, saw the ceremony, and saw that Chen Bohu's face was also tired, so he said: "It's better to be more stable during the day, I'm afraid there will be troubles at night, cousin, why don't you take a rest while patrolling at night?" Be careful."

Chen Bohu smiled and said: "I was going to rest, but I came to take a look because I heard you were coming. Is everything okay in the palace?"

After talking for a while, Qin Zhao said goodbye and went back.Mrs. Pei was worried and asked Chen Bohu to send someone to see her off, but Qin Zhao politely refused: "Grandmother, don't worry, there are Jinwu Guards patrolling the streets during the day, and the rebellious party will not come out to make trouble at this time. Those two guards are first-class masters, even if we encounter ordinary disorderly soldiers, four or fifty people will not be able to stop us."

The old lady let her go out.

Qin Zhao got on his horse when he left Duke Lu's mansion, and said to Qin Ming and Qin Lei, "Come with me to the mansion of Prince Geshu."

Qin Ming persuaded: "Seeing that it's getting late, the princess should go back to the palace. After all, Prince Geshu is the son of King Geshu of Beiting, and it is for the stability of Beiting Mansion. What will you do with him, and besides, Prince Geshu has always kept a low profile and never cared about government affairs, so the Crown Prince has no reason to trouble the Prince Geshu's residence at this juncture."

Qin Zhao thought so too.

After a moment of silence, he still said, "Then go to Uncle Pei's house and have a look."

Pei's mansion is not close to this area.The Pei family is different from their families. They were originally from Wu Xun, and the servants in the mansion are all tough. Although the Pei family is a noble family, after all, Uncle Pei is in charge of civil work, and he is the secretary of the household department. He is the prince Objects that need to be caged.You really should go and see it to rest assured.

When we arrived at Pei's mansion, we saw soldiers and guards surrounded outside.

Qin Zhao looked at it and could only sigh.

As she expected, the Pei Mansion was controlled by the prince's rebellious party.

But I don't know if the people in the house are safe.I wanted to go in and find out, but there was no chance because of heavy guards.

At this moment, she only hoped that the prince would not offend the gentry and spare the lives of Pei's family.

After watching from a distance for a long time, Qin Ming persuaded: "It's really not suitable to go over there, and the princess is going right now. There are so many people, and the three of us can't kill them all. It's better to be quiet than to move. The position is detached, the crown prince just wants to use Pei Shangshu, and wants Pei Shangshu to submit, so as not to kill the lives of the people in Pei's house. The princess might as well go back to the mansion first, and the subordinates will stay here to see if they can go in and inquire some."

Qin Zhao thought about it, and it was the only way.It's just that I know in my heart that it's not easy to sneak into Pei's mansion?
What worries her is that the matter of the prince seems to be impossible.Although he has a part of the forbidden army in his hands, he has not dealt with the guards in the palace, nor the Jinwu guards in the city. The six ministers who insisted on his superiority in the court are probably only two or three people. For a noble with real power, there are probably not many people who support him.At least none of the Chen family, Luo family, and Qin family who are really talkative among the nobles supported him. Looking at Mrs. Hong's actions, even the Li family was not dragged away by him.

The crown prince has been supervising the country for a while, but he doesn't have much real power in his hands, so it's extremely difficult to get things done.Did he think he was Emperor Li back then?

I really don't know that the prince is also a few dozen years old. He doesn't look like a fool. Otherwise, with Emperor Li's strength, it would be impossible to make him the prince. Dare to take advantage of the queen's funeral to do something to force the palace.

Qin Zhao had no choice but to go back home, it was not safe to hang around outside at this time.

Although I was also thinking about Ashu from Xinchangfang and his own shops, but presumably someone took advantage of the chaos to rob the shop, and at most it lost money and things.Ah Shu and the others are just businessmen, and at this time, who is full enough to make trouble for them.

In the middle of the night, Qin Ming came back to reply, and he really let him sneak into Pei's mansion in the dark, and almost got into a fight with the servants who organized a patrol in Pei's mansion. Fortunately, he reported the name of King Qin's mansion, and It was said that Qin Zhao sent over to investigate the situation, so the guards outside were not alarmed.

Because he heard that the prince's rebellious party was only the people who controlled Pei's mansion, and did not take advantage of the chaos to loot, and that everyone in the mansion was still safe, Qin Zhao was relieved.

He also asked if Luo Jingchen, who was married to Pei Zhujian, was okay, Qin Ming said helplessly: "I only saw Mr. Pei, how can I see the female relatives? Since I said nothing happened, I think it should be fine. Besides, Grandma Pei is not Who can really do anything to the young lady who was born in the Duke's Mansion of Yue?"

Qin Zhao thought so too. If Pei Jingchen was really killed, it would be strange for the Lao Yue Guild to stop, just like the reason for attacking the Luo family indiscriminately. It is one thing to control people, but another to kill people.

After dismissing Qin Ming, I finally felt relieved.

Looking at it now, the situation is not too bad.At least no one he cared about died because of this dl.

The most worrying thing is that in the palace, I don't know what's going on now.

This has been a stalemate for two days and one night, and both sides are almost impatient. If the stalemate continues, the matter will be more difficult to end, and it is impossible to guarantee that there will be casualties.

Qin Ming retreated, Qin Zhaocai fell asleep in a daze, and heard killing sounds from the direction of the palace.

Get up and stand upstairs to have a look, the palace is brightly lit.

What's going on here?

The situation in the palace is unknown, even the Jin Wuwei didn't rush in to rescue him.What's more, apart from the guards with swords in front of Emperor Li who are now protecting Emperor Li, the imperial guards in the palace are all the prince's people, otherwise it would be impossible for so many important court officials to be under house arrest.

Entering the palace at this time, the prince jumps over the wall in a hurry, if he really concentrates his forces to go to the Taiji Palace and take down Emperor Li, that would be a terrible thing.

But now I can only wait, there will always be news when it dawns.

As soon as it was dawn, Qin Zhao got up and went to the main courtyard. Sure enough, Princess Jinyang was talking with the Chief Historian Qin Louyue.

Then I heard Qin Louyue report: "It is said that His Royal Highness the King of Wei led people to rescue him. Taking advantage of the chaos, the Jinwu Guard also attacked the palace, and killed all the way to the Taiji Palace. Because it was the Jinwu Guard led by Luo Laoguo who broke in." Yes, the guards in the Taiji Palace recognized it, and then protected His Majesty's safety. Later, when the king of Wei and the crown prince were fighting each other, the Jinwu Guard took both sides down."

Jin Yang breathed a sigh of relief, this success is finally over.

It's just that the crown prince and the king of Wei, one is his eldest brother, the other is her second brother, both of them are direct brothers, and now...

The prince can't keep it, so what's the point of attacking the palace from the king of Wei?In fact, it was already clear that the Jinwu Guard could take down both parties, but Jinyang still did not give up and asked: "King Wei...what can you say?"

Qin Louyue was silent for a while, and Fang Ying said: "It's the name of entering the palace to rescue him, but he didn't pass the Jinwu Guard, and the soldiers led by His Royal Highness King Wei didn't know where they came from, I'm afraid..."

Needless to say the rest, Jin Yang's face was pale.

But this is not the time to be sad and sigh, there are still things to be done, so he asked Qin Louyue: "Since the palace is safe, what is the situation with the garrison outside the city?"

Qin Louyue replied: "Last night in the middle of the night, the attackers outside the city were suppressed by the Langya army. Because our place is too close to the imperial city, we only pay attention to the side of the imperial palace, but ignore the voices outside the city. I sent someone to investigate early in the morning, and everything is fine. Now the Langya Army is stationed outside the city. It is only waiting for His Majesty to call. Presumably they will not enter the city."

In this way, Jin Yang finally felt relieved.If the Langya army does not enter the city, there will be no more disturbances, and it will be able to protect the safety of Chang'an City.The Jinwu Guard took over the city, and the Chen family and his sons are people who can rest assured, besides, there is old Luo Guogong sitting in charge.

But when she thought that her two elder brothers were involved in this palace change, she really couldn't be happy.

Moreover, the queen mother went again, how can she relax?
Sighing, he ordered the Chief Historian: "I need to enter the palace, and the mansion will be handed over to you. You go to the old concubine to report safety. Just say that I have gone to the palace, the affairs of the mansion, but listen to the dowager concubine. Mediation. But trivial matters, you can take care of them yourself, don't disturb her old man."

Qin Louyue answered "Yes".

Only then did Jin Yang look at Qin Zhao who had been standing by his side, thought for a while, and said, "Qin Changshi, if you have something to discuss with Fuling Princess."

Qin Louyue responded, Jinyang hesitated for a moment, and said again: "Three provinces live there, you look after it, there can't be any more troubles at this time."

Without her order, Qin Louyue dare not take it lightly at this moment.

On the face of it, the worst is over.But the more this time, the more careful you should be.Sometimes things are like this. When everyone thought nothing would happen, it is the most likely time to make trouble.

Jin Yang tidied up and went to the palace.

Qin Zhao followed Qin Louyue to see the old concubine.

After hearing that the chaos in the palace had finally settled down, the old concubine also chanted twice.

I have been hanging on my heart for a few days, I can't eat and sleep well, after all, the prince is still in the palace, and the Qin family is the head of nobles, if the prince persecutes too much, let alone suffer, even if it hurts his life, there will be some .

The prince doesn't even care about the relationship between father and son, so how can he put the safety of Qin Huaiyu, his sister-in-law, in his eyes?

The Tian family has never had family affection.

The old concubine hurriedly asked: "How is the prince? Can you find out clearly?"
