Chapter 563 Seizing the Palace
After a moment of silence in the hall, Bell said in a hard tone, “Then why did Grandma hand over the ‘Follow the Wind’ token to Second Duke Su just now? In case he took it …”
“Have you noticed?” Song Yixiao’s gaze was icy cold as he said, “I only gave him the token, and he didn’t ask for anything else I remember when I only had half of the token in my hand, I had asked him for advice on the matter of the Six Valves’ secret guards, and he said that the token could first and foremost only be used by the head of the family, and only by the head of the family who had reached the age of the bundle of hair! Of course I am the only one left in the Jiangnan Hall’s direct line now, so of course this rule is not so strict. But, he’s neither under me nor is he anyone of mine, and he can actually mobilize ‘Follow the Wind’ with just the token! What do you think that means?!”
Bell was slightly lost in thought and said ”So there are Su family members in the ‘Follow the Wind’? But this manpower is the Song family’s bottom card, the Song family is defeated these two years, however, when Duke Ji Nan was there, certainly the people were not prosperous, but the reputation is by no means below Wei Su ah! Otherwise, how could Your Highness …”
How could Wei Mengying not even dare to hope to be Song Yuan’s proper wife in the beginning?
It wasn’t that she wasn’t confident enough in her own hand, but because the Song family’s reputation hadn’t fallen at that time, if it wasn’t for those lovebirds from the Song family’s ancestry that had scared Song Ying, and because he really didn’t have a second son and had to compromise a person of Wei Mengying’s background would never have been expected to be the rightful wife of the Song Rim.
Calculating the death of Song Ying to the present is only twenty years out of the beginning of the Song family defeat is also just, even “with the wind” surprisingly are full of holes to this point, Suzuru certainly has been on the Song family has no good feelings, at the moment also a little bit can not believe.
“That’s for me to ask my dead father!” Song Yixiao gritted her teeth and said, “I really don’t know what kind of face he’ll have to meet the Song family’s ancestors when he’s in the nine springs!”
The Su family has been planning since the time of Emperor Huizong to put their grandson on the throne.
At this time, Song Ying’s death, Song Yuan’s mind is set aside in the children’s love above, Jiangnan Song’s ancestor is no less than the Qingzhou Su one of the six valves, Qingzhou Su how will miss this piece of fat meat?
Even Gu Shao, who was close to Song Ying, had a He Lou Duhan planted beside him, and it was only natural for the Su family to mix a few more nails into the Song familySong Yixiao suddenly wondered how Song Yuan and Liu ended up after she died in her previous life.
Being targeted by the Su family, even if they had two male heirs at their knees and got rid of the thorn in their side, could they keep the Jiangnan Hall legacy going?
“But after Grandma gave the token to Second Duke Su, what if Second Duke shifts the blame to you later?” Bell’s worry interrupted her thoughts, “After all, now that King Su has not yet ascended to the throne, Second Duke Su is going to knock you down, which is clearly a sign that he has bad intentions towards our Marquis House!”
“No matter what ‘Sui Feng’ does tonight, the charge will definitely be on Gu Shao’s head.” Song Yixiao fixed her mind and said, “After all, the Su family’s primary goal is to support King Su’s ascension to the throne! Gu Shao’s reputation is too high, even if he is implicated by He Lou Duhan in prison, he still has influence in the countryside compared to our Marquis Yan’s family does not have his ability to quickly calm people’s hearts after a big change! So even if Su Zhiyong took the token, this matter will not involve the Yan Marquis.”
Bell sniffed a dark sigh of relief, and then said with some trepidation, “It s just that after His Highness King Su ascended to the throne …”
“Let’s talk about it after tonight!” Song Yixiao put down the tea bowl and pointed outside with his lower jaw, his gaze sullen, “Although Su Zhirong is full of confidence, however, the Wei family or He Wenqiong, is not a savior!”
“If we don’t get through this night, it’s a truce of nothing!”
At those words, Suzu couldn’t help but go silent.
Song Yi smiled and straightened her dress, “I’m tired, I’ll go and settle down first, you make people clean up here!”
Bells was busy going forward to help her, “The night is deep and cold, the slave girl will send you back to your room first, then come back to clean up! Anyway, it’s so late, it’s unlikely that anyone will come again.”
After the two masters and servants returned to the room, Bell served Song Yixiao to go back to sleep before she retired to clean up the flower hall.
Sending her away, Song YiXiao is hard to sleep, in addition to worrying about Su ShaoGe’s actions this night whether or not it can be successful, but because of Su ShaoGe today’s that euphemistic threat she just had some ideas did not say to bell Marquis of Yan’s house in the xianjia dynasty is very prominent, this is mainly because of the Jian Xubai’s two big backing the dowager empress dowager, the great eldest princess of the state of Jin, at that time, the status of super voice is very important, and the power is very heavy. Princess of Jin, at that time the status of the supreme discourse was very heavy.
And Emperor Xianjia himself had always favored Jian Xu Bai.
In fact, the young Jian Xubai was only from the fifth grade, from the real meaning of the high position of power is still far away.
The current Marquis of Yan, not only was the title lowered by one level, the main mother of the family grant were cut, the worst thing is that the two major backers of the old old, sick sick, and the right to speak compared to the time of the Xianjia dynasty fell more than a point or two?
Even if King Su succeeded in ascending to the throne, to the Dowager Empress and the Grand Princess of Jin, at most, they would be treated with courtesy, and it would be impossible to pay as much attention to their preferences and interests as Emperor Xianjia did when he was alive.
And Marquis Yan from the past and Su Wang did not have a particularly deep friendship, the only point that counts as a close relationship, that is, Su Wang Consort Nie Dai Sakura, and Marquis Yan’s relationship is good.
But not to mention that King Su took the initiative to pursue Nie Maizuo Cherry that year, whether it is from the cousin’s sincere love, or see her status in front of the Grand Princess of Jin, let alone that King Su even if he truly likes Nie Maizuo Cherry … but Nie Maizuo Cherry in his heart, can be greater than Empress Su, Su Shaoge such birth and raise the people who cultivated him?
So under normal circumstances, Marquis Yan couldn’t threaten the Su family at all.
Then why did Su Shaoge even bother to speak out and knock? He simply wasn’t this kind of character this man was the most typical son of a prestigious family, not someone who would act out of spite. If he hadn’t confirmed that Marquis Yan had the possibility and intention to threaten the Su family, Su Shaoge wouldn’t have easily torn off the mask of gentleness.
“Could it be that they know of Husband’s intentions?” Song Yixiao stretched out her fingers and rubbed the corner of her forehead, secretly thinking, “The Liu Family isn’t so useless? How could they let the Su family get wind of such a confidential matter? Or is there a nail in this Marquis Yan’s residence that we haven’t discovered?”
To be honest, since He Lou Duhan’s assassination of the Crown Prince, each family’s scorn for the Su family has gone up another level.
Song Yixiao was no exception, so now there were many ideas that she didn’t even tell Suzaku about.
It is afraid that Bell is the same as He Lou Duhan, the eyes of the Su family stuffed over after all, Bell was originally serving Wei Mengying, and only last year, for some reason, she cast her lot with her.
Song Yixiao couldn’t even trust Wei Mengying, let alone her.
“Famous family, really terrible!” Song Yixiao thought of here, spat out a breath, but in the eyes instead surged a touch of ruthlessness, “But I Yan Houfu, also do not take it well!”
Thinking of the token that was taken away by Su Shaoge, she couldn’t help but slightly skim her lips and hummed darkly, “Although I don’t care about Jiangnan Hall’s things at all, but since it’s in my hands, is it that good to borrow?!”
As she finished her thoughts and drifted off to sleep, many homes up and down the Imperial Capital were being awakened by the sounds of fire and fighting!
“Yang Jue! You heartless villain!” He Wenqiong, incredulous, looked through the wall of people hastily surrounded by his personal guards and bitterly rebuked the halberdwielding man a few paces away, “This official treats you like a member of his inner circle, treats you like a hand and foot, so why are you betraying this official?!”
After He Wenqiong chose Empress Wei tonight, he knew that the Su family had many eyes and ears in the palace palace exams, and this news could not be hidden at all. So after some urgent discussions, He Wenqiong wrote down a warrant, took out a token, and asked Empress Wei to send her inner circle to send it out of the palace to his generals, so that they could split up and lead their troops to the Su Wang Mansion, the Ji Hou Mansion, and the Yan Hou Mansion to completely eliminate the Su Wangs and the Su Wangs’ supporters!
And of course we can’t forget Empress Su in the palace!
It was not long after the order was sent out that there was no sign of movement at the Su Wang Mansion, Ji Hou Mansion, or Yan Hou Mansion, but instead the palace gates were opened, and the forbidden army, led by Yang Jue, one of He Wenqiong’s generals, headed straight for Xuanming Palace where Empress Wei and He Wenqiong were both present at the time, and almost caught offguard and taken prisoner!
To add to He Wenqiong’s despair, Yang Jue had only just met with him and threw over four or five tied together heads!
Those chiefs were none other than the rest of his inner circle!
“Just how many secret sons does the Su family have?!” Previously there was the example of He Lou Duhan, at this moment, although Yang Jue’s proclivity to fall back makes He Wenqiong’s shocked and angry, but more than that, it’s a deep powerlessness, “Back in the day, the late emperor ordered this official to guard the forbidden army for his majesty, in order to live up to the late emperor’s entrustment, this official can be described as working from morning to night and exhausting all of his heart’s strength! In the middle of this in order to eradicate the power of the Su family, all the officers above the rank of Shishang, this official is one by one to screen and thoroughly check the three generations over!”
“This Yang Jue because of outstanding martial arts, in the Su family in charge of the forbidden army when the official position is not low, after this official took over is all the way to promote it in the middle of this official almost four generations of his ancestors, all the way to the end of the East Yong experience are checked all over the place!”
So careful, all caught Su family’s way is just.
But the other generals killed by Yang Jue were not below Yang Jue in terms of strength or status or resourcefulness!
It was unlikely that they’d get together in the middle of the night and be taken out by Yang Jue with intent to kill, and counting the time, Yang Jue didn’t have the time for it!
So who else could it be but the Soo family who made it for him to come to the palace with these heads to shock him?
He Wenqiong had always believed that even though the Su family had saved up some personal guards, secret guards, and other force, there was no comparison at all with the regular army, especially the Great Inner Forbidden Army!
It was only at this moment that he realized that in the end, he had underestimated such a family because of his origins!
But what made him even more desperate Yang Jue, facing his rebuke, only replied indifferently, “By order of Minister Gu, to purge the palace and support the orthodoxy!”
“Gu Shao how could he betray me?!” Being blocked by He Wenqiong behind the emperor and empress had been silent, hearing this, Duanhua Emperor could no longer hold back his loud rebuttal, “Could He Lou Duhan really be him …”
“Your Majesty is going to believe the words of a mere general?!” Empress Wei interrupted him with a stern voice, looking at Yang Jue with indignation, cutting her teeth, “This is clearly the Su family unwilling to take the blame for instructing the forbidden army to seize the palace, and deliberately dragging Prime Minister Gu into the water, wanting to utilize Prime Minister Gu’s popularity to squash this matter!”
“But!”
“It’s better to guard against the people than to guard against the river!”
“What the Su Family did today, do you really think you can hide it from the world?!”
“Concealed or not, that’s not something Empress Mother needs to worry about!” Yang Jue said indifferently, “Not to mention the death of the eldest Princess Changxing during the day, does the Empress Mother think she can hide it from the world?”
Empress Wei heard the threat in his words she plotted to harm Changxing, but her own crown prince was still alive, how would the Su family retaliate on the crown prince?
After a moment of trembling, the Empress dropped to sit on the throne behind her, murmuring like a madman and like a curse, “Now I really hope that King Su can follow the example of the late Emperor and be a wise and godly Emperor!”
In that case, how could King Su be willing to be the puppet of a foreign family?
Even he would not allow Qingzhou Su to continue to grow in strength at all, thus threatening the Lu Clan’s royal family!
Pouring out decades of effort, three or four generations of tireless sacrifice and dedication the emperor, who had been sent to the throne with great difficulty, ended up breaking his word to the Su family as the late emperor had done!
Such an expectation was the only thing Empress Wei could comfort herself with right now!
