Chapter 384 Persecution

Two days later, Han Jianming in Wang County got the news. Han Jianming looked distressed and said, "It seems that I have to go back to the capital myself." Originally, Han Jianming sent another group of people to pick up Han Jingdong and let him go to the northwest by another road. Han Jianming believes that the more people are separated, the safer it is, but it is a pity that Han Jingdong disrupted his plan.

Mr. Zhao said: "Grandpa, you have returned to the capital. Once you are detained, you will not be able to get out. Otherwise, I will pick up the old lady and the lady."

After hesitating for a moment, Han Jianming said, "I'll go with you! When you go to Beijing, I'll meet you outside."

When he arrived on the outskirts of the capital, Han Jianming got a piece of news. Said that Yan Wushuang put down his words and asked the emperor and the Song family to comfort the hundreds of thousands of heroes in Tongcheng with death.

Mr. Zhao didn't understand, and said: "The emperor's reputation for treason has been confirmed, so what qualifications does the prince have to sit on the dragon chair? What is the Yu family planning?" This made Mr. Zhao a little confused. If the father has no virtue, the heirs are naturally not qualified to be in charge.

Han Jianming shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter whether the prince can sit on the dragon chair or not, the most important thing is the authority of the Yu family." The prince's surname is Zhou, not Yu.

Mr. Zhao said: "The Duke of the country means that the Yu family is not going to let the crown prince take over?" He really didn't expect this.

Han Jianming shook his head and said, "Fujian and Hunan are also reversed. No matter who is in power, it will not be able to change the world's already corrupt situation."

Mr. Zhao said: "My lord, it is thousands of miles from the capital to the northwest. With so many family members, can I reach the northwest safely?" There is no doubt that it will be safe in the northwest. But the problem is that today the world is in chaos, and the road is full of bandits and thieves who rob houses. It is too dangerous to bring a group of female relatives.

Han Jianming said lightly: "There won't be too many people." Han Jianming never thought of taking everyone to the northwest. All he wanted was to take Qiu Shi, Ye Shi and their two children away. As for the aunt and the concubine and the concubine, he was not prepared to take them away from the capital. It's such a long road, and the road is not smooth, bringing a lot of women and children, isn't that courting death! However, Han Jianming would not let them go and found a place for them. It's just that it is not known whether the disaster can be avoided.

When Mr. Zhao heard this, he felt relieved. If you bring your aunt and concubine and concubine daughter, you will definitely be dragged down.

At this time, the emperor sitting on the dragon chair of the Golden Luan Hall was looking at the civil and military officials below, with a calm expression, as if he didn't know that he was about to face death: "What does the Prime Minister want to bring these officials to the Golden Luan Hall? Want to rebel?"

Yu Xiang said indifferently: "How dare the old minister do such a rebellious thing. The old minister just wants to know whether the evidence submitted by Yan Wushuang is true. Can the emperor participate in the Tongcheng incident?" Yan Wushuang, this time, sent all those letters Yes, even if the emperor wanted to deny it, he couldn't resist it.

The emperor said expressionlessly: "I have known for a long time that you colluded with the traitor Yan Wushuang, which prevented the delivery of military rations to the front line and created favorable conditions for Yan Wushuang. You did this just to support a listener." The puppet of your words, why do you have to pretend to be so righteous?"

Yu Xiang said without changing his expression: "The old minister just wants to know the truth." Yu Xiang wanted to stand in the position of righteousness.

The emperor's eyes fell on the prime minister, and said: "If I say no, you won't believe it. You brought so many people, but you just want to prove my crime. If that's the case, I will fulfill you."

Seeing that the emperor didn't even refute, Yu Xiang had a bad feeling in his heart. The emperor is not such a talkative person, and there must be demons when things go wrong.

Yuchen was talking with his son when Shiqin ran in and said, "Princess, it's not good, the palace is on fire."

Yuchen handed Zhou Yan to the mother-in-law, walked out of the courtyard quickly, and walked to the highest tower of the palace to look into the distance.

I saw thick smoke billowing in the direction of the palace.

Yuchen looked at it for a while, then calmly said: "Go back." King Jing was not there, and the news from King Jing's mansion was relatively late. But Yuchen felt keenly that if the palace caught fire, there was a high probability that something had happened to the emperor. At this time, the palace must not be able to stay anymore.

When the front foot reached the main courtyard, the bell was heard on the back foot. Hearing the bell, everyone knew that the emperor had passed away.

The butler hurried to the backyard and told Yuchen the news he had just received: "Princess, the Golden Palace is on fire, and the emperor and many ministers of the previous court were burned to death inside."

Yuchen's face turned pale: "Why did the Jinluan Hall catch fire?"

There is no time to delve into this issue at this time. The butler said: "Wangfei, pack up your change of clothes, and I will send Wangfei and Shizi out of the mansion."

Yuchen hurriedly asked: "Where are you going?" In fact, Yuchen wanted to leave just now, but she was going to wait until it was dark before leaving. It was too conspicuous to leave during the day.

The butler said: "Princess, the prince has already found a suitable place. If there is any change in the capital, I will send the concubine and the son to that place for temporary shelter."

Yuchen didn't care too much, and said, "Wait a minute." It took nearly a quarter of an hour before Yuchen came out of the room.

When she walked out, Yuchen was a completely different person, wearing rough clothes, holding her hair with a gray kerchief, and her face was a little sallow. If this goes out, no one will know that this is Concubine Jing. And Zhou Yan also changed into dusty clothes. However, Yuchen only changed the outer clothes for him, not the inner ones, otherwise, how could he bear the clothes on his body. As for Nanny Gui, she also looked like an old woman.

The housekeeper was very satisfied when he saw this, and said: "Princess, please come with me." Yuchen only took Nanny Gui and Shiqin to leave, and the others stayed in the palace.

The Golden Luan Hall caught fire, and most of the officials who were courting inside died. But Yu Xiangfu had a great life and escaped this catastrophe. It's just because of inhaling a lot of smoke, and Yu Xiang's age is also getting older, he is still in a coma.

Master Yu found the surviving Minister of Rites, Yin Mincai, and asked, "Who set the fire in the Golden Luan Palace?" The elder Yu's family did not go to court today, and it was Prime Minister Yu who asked him to handle other affairs. Otherwise, he might not be as lucky as his father.

Yin Mincai's hands were trembling, and he said: "The emperor ordered the fire to be set." No one knew that the emperor wanted to burn them all to death. Until now, he still hasn't recovered his soul.

Hearing that the emperor set the fire, Yu Chunhao on the side was silent. He also guessed that the fire was set by the emperor, and no one except the emperor has this ability.

The elder of the Yu family said in disbelief: "How could it be that the emperor set the fire? How did he set it on fire?" The emperor had their people around him, and they would have known about the emperor's changes for a long time.

Yu Chunhao said: "Father, it's meaningless to pursue this now. What we need to do now is to deal with the follow-up. If such a thing happens, the capital will definitely be in chaos. Father, we have to stabilize the situation as soon as possible." There are also many people who are loyal to the emperor, but they didn't expect the emperor to be so crazy, and they would not hesitate to pull so many people to support him.

The elder of the Yu family nodded and said: "Don't worry, at this critical moment, father will not fall." The old man is still there, so the sky of the Yu family will not fall.

When the Qiu family got the news that the palace was on fire, they immediately called the Qiu family and said, "Let Aunt Jia and the others bring the children to the Changle Courtyard tonight." The walls of the courtyard are heightened and reinforced, and more guards are arranged at night to take protective measures. It is definitely safer than in other places.

Ye said: "Mother, I'll make arrangements now."

Aunt Jia and the others knew that Qiu Shi asked them to move to the Changle Courtyard, and they were too late to be happy, so there would be no objection. Unfortunately, old Duke Han Jingdong is not willing. It's not that he is not afraid of death, but he thinks that Changle Courtyard is not as safe as his current Wuyou Courtyard.

Mrs. Ye said to Mrs. Qiu: "Mother, Dad asked the housekeeper to arrange a lot of guards to the Wuyouyuan. Mother, what do you think about this?" There were not many guards in the mansion originally, and they were divided into two groups. Very dangerous.

Qiu said: "Let him go!" She did her part, but Han Jingdong was unwilling, and she had nothing to do with it if something happened.

Facts have proved that Qiu's concerns are not unreasonable. That night, the Duke's Mansion was attacked by a group of thieves. These people only want gold, silver and treasures, not those antique calligraphy and paintings. But Qiu Shi, Ye Shi and the others had already hidden the gold, silver and jewels that were convenient for transfer, so naturally they couldn't satisfy these people.

Listening to the shouts outside, the children were so frightened that they cried loudly. Qiu Shi put her arms around Qi Qi and said: "Grandmother is here, don't be afraid, Qi Qi is not afraid..." Qiu Shi's voice was very calm, as if things outside were really nothing to her. Her emotions quickly infected other people, and everyone immediately calmed down.

Han Yong commanded the guards to fight against these thieves in the yard. Because they were prepared, this group of thieves did not take advantage.

The group of thieves knew it was wrong as soon as they fought against the people of the Duke's Mansion, and they didn't like to fight, so the group of people who cheered and left Changle Yuan.

Wiping the sweat off his brow, Han Yong walked into the yard and said to Qiu Shi, "Madam, the thief has been beaten away." None of them were injured, and none of the thief died.

Qiu breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Send someone to look at the Sanssouyuan." To be on the safe side, she didn't dare to let the guards disperse, but let them rest in the yard directly, and fortunately it was June God, don't worry about freezing.

Half an hour later, the person sent out came back. Han Yong said with a sad face: "Old Madam, Wuyou Garden was ransacked by those thieves."

Qiu's hands shook, and he asked, "Is the old man okay?" Although he said he had no feelings, Han Jingdong was Jianming and Jianye's father after all.

Han Yong lowered his head and said: "The old man was seriously injured." Speaking of which, the thief who came this time was much stronger than the last time. These people only want to make money, and they don't kill innocent people indiscriminately. But when Han Jingdong saw the thieves robbing his collection of treasures, he wanted to take them back, but was seriously injured.

Qiu stood up and said, "I'll go and have a look."

Mrs. Ye grabbed Mrs. Qiu's arm and said, "Mother, I can't live without you. Mother, let me go!" If something happened to the mother-in-law, they would lose their backbone.

Qiu patted Ye's hand and said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine. You stay here and take good care of the children."
