After Wei Changfeng arrived, Shen Shuguang had a detailed and thoughtful enlightenment, which made Wei Changying greatly relieved.
Once I got rid of this worry, other things seemed to become easier.
However, after just two days of relaxation, something unexpected happened in Panzhou!
Towards evening, the setting sun is like blood, and the waves on the Spring Grass Lake are miserable and beautiful.
The lakeside courtyard was also painted with a touch of blood.
This bloody color reflected the hall, and the mourning clothes on Wei Changying's body seemed to be dyed an ominous red.
She took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and said to Huo Qingling and Shen Zangning, who came in a hurry after hearing the news: "Don't panic! After all, the Shen and Su families are all flesh and blood relatives, and the eldest uncle is not How can you, a confused person, not explain things clearly? Moreover, the fourth cousin went north with a large army! How could he be harmed so easily? Mo Binwei is a wise general. It’s hard to make a fool out of nothing, he only has so few people at his disposal, less than 3,000 in total, how can he threaten his fourth cousin who is accompanied by an army of 100,000 people?”
"But this is what the Qingzhou Army spies came to say day and night! How could it be a rumor?" Shen Zang said anxiously, "Furthermore, the fourth cousin's coffin is still on its way north, and he wants to ask his uncle to make the decision! "
She is a person who is confused about small things and understands big things. The affairs of her maternal Su family are not very top-secret, so how can she not be aware of them
Originally, the feud between Su Xiu Ming and Su Xiu Wei was about to break out - now Su Xiu Ming's only surviving legitimate son is dead! And he was still killed by Mo Binwei!
Su Xiu Ming suffered the grief of the death of her eldest son in her early years. As a result, she lost the support of her father and had to step in to help Sanfang take over Fufeng Tang. Now, taking advantage of Su Pingzhan's accidental death, he was secretly taking back everything that originally belonged to him. As a result, the remaining legitimate son at this moment also died, not even a trace of blood was left... Who else could have done this? Not crazy
Although Su Xiuwei and his son relied on the old man Su Pingzhan left behind to occupy a place in the Qingzhou Army, it was just a place. In the Qingzhou Army, the commander-in-chief, Su Xiuming, had the upper hand.
What's more, even if Su Yuliang competed with Su Yuwu, he was still Su Xiuwei's nephew and Su Yuwu's cousin! He was killed when he was accompanying the Qingzhou Army escorting hundreds of thousands of baggage to the north. This was a slap in the face for the entire Qingzhou Su family. No matter what Su Xiuwei and his son think in their hearts, they must persist in pursuing Mo Binwei to the end!
Otherwise, they would be the first to be suspected.
If it were just Mo Binwei, Huo Qingling and Shen Zangning wouldn't be so anxious, but Mo Binwei went to Panzhou to find Wei Xinyong, and it was not long before Su Yuliang died that they could find him. !
The terrible thing is that Mo Binwei didn't go looking for it alone. The soldiers he brought were all private soldiers lent to him by the Wei family in Fengzhou - in this regard, it was the Wei family's responsibility to bear them, so it was fine. But the one who went to Panzhou to find someone before him was a captain in the Xiliang Army!
When Su Yuliang died, Captain Zhao was said to have escorted Wei Xinyong to escape from the siege together with Mo Binwei!
Originally, Shen Zangfeng was closer to Su Xiuwei and his son. Now, could Su Xiuming doubt that Su Xiuwei colluded with Shen Zangfeng and deliberately sent people to Panzhou to find Wei Xinyong under the pretext, but they set a trap and took advantage of Su Yuliang's passing. To murder him
Although the Shen family is not necessarily afraid of the Su family, but now the war is in chaos, all the heroes are fighting together, and the external and internal troubles are not over. Let's fight with the Qingzhou Army first... Shen Zangfeng has been racking his brains to plan the pacification of Jingxi Province in the past few years. Liang, wouldn't all the hard work that has been done to prepare for troubled times be in vain? !
So even though Shen Zangning usually looked nonchalant about everything, he was now anxious!
"Even if it's not a rumor, it doesn't matter whether it's the fourth cousin or the people around the fourth cousin." Isn't it possible that Wei Changying was extremely anxious? But now she is the backbone, and she must stabilize people's hearts, lest the Su family's rebellion will cause chaos before it spreads to other courtyards.
So she immediately said in a tone that left no room for doubt, "I've never met Mo Binwei, so how do you know that the person they met who killed their fourth cousin was really Mo Binwei? You guys don't know Mo Binwei either." You know, he is the sixth uncle of my mother's family, and he went to Panzhou this time to find someone. Not to mention that he has no grievances with his fourth cousin, let's just say that he is a homeless commoner, and now he is under the control of my mother's family. Give it to him, where does he have the courage to harm his fourth cousin?"
"Because of this, my eldest uncle will definitely be suspicious of our family's instigation!" Shen Zangning blurted out, "Who would believe that he, a commoner, dares to harm his fourth cousin who is escorted by a large army?"
Wei Changying raised his eyebrows and shouted: "Nonsense!"
Since she came to the house, she has followed the teachings of her natal family and has always been kind to her husband's sisters. This is the first time she has scolded Shen Zangning.
And Shen Zangning didn't care about it. Instead, he came closer to her and asked, "So, what does sister-in-law mean?"
"Let's not mention that the fourth cousin and you brothers and sisters are both direct cousins. This blood is thicker than water, so why should we harm the fourth cousin?" Wei Changying said with a serious face, "Ten thousand steps back to explain. , this time Captain Zhao and Mo Binwei went to Panzhou to look for my natal sixth uncle. Everyone in the government and the public knew that our family was so stupid to kill our fourth cousin so obviously? !”
Shen Zangning and Huo Qingling looked at each other. Although the doubts in their eyes faded slightly, they were still a little uneasy. The truth is that Uncle Su has lost his own flesh and blood, and this is the second time he has experienced the heartache of losing a child. Who knows how much truth he can listen to at this time
Huo Qingling pondered for a moment, secretly took Shen Zangning's hand, and said softly: "Sister-in-law three is right. The so-called "pure person will self-purify", I think this must be a misunderstanding, and I'm afraid it will be eliminated in a few days. ”
The tone of these words was firm, but Wei Changying knew that it was actually Huo Qingling who didn't want to embarrass herself and deliberately followed the words to say something soothing.
She sighed inwardly and said: "The sixth younger brother and sister are right, Panzhou... isn't there someone like Zhao Qian? It is said that the fourth cousin stayed in Panzhou this time to recruit Zhao Qian to surrender. Perhaps, this is the cause of the rebellion. What kind of conspiracy did he cause misfortune to his fourth cousin?"
Huo Qingling and Shen Zangning had been comforted by her until now, and they had made up their minds. Just wake up and no matter what the truth of this matter is or what the consequences will be, they can't help now. Now, asking Wei Zhangying here is of no use. If he continues to be so panicked, he will only deceive his own people, so he suppresses his distracting thoughts and agrees.
After sending away his sister-in-law and sister-in-law, Wei Changying's face immediately showed signs of fatigue.
She was about to ask someone to invite Huang and others to discuss countermeasures when she got down and reported: "The Fifth Young Master Wei has just arrived. When he heard that the Sixth Madam and the others were there, he went to the side room to drink tea. Do you want to invite him over now?" "
"Go and invite me." Wei Changying nodded. She knew that Wei Changfeng must have come here after hearing the news of Su Yuliang's death -
Speaking of which, when the news was first reported, even Su Xiu Ming didn't believe it.
When the imperial capital was under siege, Su Xiuming returned to Qingzhou at night to rescue troops. She happened to catch up with her nephew Su Yuwu and flooded Zezhou, freeing the Qingzhou army and preparing to march north. Su Xiuming naturally did not dare to speculate that Su Pingzhan would die at the hands of the Rong, and it was not time to clearly appoint the next leader of the clan.
So even though he grabbed the power of the army, he really didn't think much about it at the time. I just feel that although Su Yuwu has solved Zezhou's embarrassment, he is still young after all. Su Pingzhan and others were all in the imperial capital and there was no room for failure, so it was better for his uncle, who had more experience in the army, to take charge of the army.
Of course, Su Xiu Ming definitely wanted to take this opportunity to show his face in front of Su Pingzhan. Although he was forced by Su Pingzhan to agree to give up his position as the leader of the clan, he did not want his clan to be suppressed too much. While my father is still here, I can make more contributions to get more benefits for myself and my children, right
Su Xiuming did not let her legitimate son Su Yuliang in Qingzhou accompany her because she was worried that Dafang would not be able to become the leader of the clan.
Firstly, as Su Yuliang's biological father, if his son failed to live up to his expectations, he would definitely not want his son to be his nephew's foil - Su Pingzhan's original dissatisfaction with Su Yuliang was that he was too indecisive. And Su Yuwu's determination and ruthlessness in flooding Zezhou was simply an example for this cousin.
Secondly, it was also a concession to him for taking away the military power from his nephew. At that time, he planned to explain to his father that he was afraid that Su Yuwu was young and would be wrong, so he insisted on taking command personally. Taking his son with him might make Su Pingzhan suspect that he hasn't given up yet. But by leaving Su Yuliang in Qingzhou and not personally fulfilling his filial piety even when his grandfather was in danger, he avoided this taboo.
The third thought was considered incidentally after the above two. In fact, it only passed through Su Xiu Ming's mind. It was so short that he didn't even remember or realize: swords and guns have no eyes. Su Xiu Ming had already suffered the pain of losing a son once. No matter how flawed his two sons were, he definitely didn't want to do it again. Even with the protection of the army, it was safer to stay in Qingzhou.
But who would have known that Su Xiu Ming would rather fend off the joint counterattack of Sanfang and his son alone for the sake of this legitimate son, but would wait until the situation in the imperial capital was almost stable before letting Su Yuliang go north to her side to personally Teaching and helping, but instead cost Su Yuliang his life
Speaking of Zhao Qian, Su Xiu Ming took great pains to identify and prepare for Su Yuliang - why did Su Xiu Ming choose Zhao Qian now that wars are rife? Considering that Panzhou is not far from Gyeonggi, if anything goes wrong with Su Yuliang, it would be very convenient for him as a father to give him advice or send more troops to remedy the situation.
This is also Su Xiu Ming's response to his nephew Su Yuwu's performance in Zezhou, and he also wants to gain a glorious record for his son, so as not to compete with Su Yuwu.
According to Su Xiuming's idea, Su Yuliang surrendered or simply defeated Zhao Qian on the way to Beijing. In this way, if he met Su Yuwu again, even if he did not rely on his father, he would be an equal and would not feel ashamed of being inferior to his cousin.
This kind of father's good intentions can be understood by others after just thinking about it.
So at this critical moment, the Shen family helped the third room of the Su family to eradicate the roots... From a theoretical point of view, it is really possible: once Su Yuliang arrived in the imperial capital with the victory of pacifying Panzhou, both the first and third rooms would work together as father and son, and Su Xiu Ming still had her concubine Su Ruoqian as a back-up—even if the Su family's eldest family couldn't defeat the third family in one fell swoop, it would definitely be a long-term fight.
There is no actual evidence of Su Pingzhan's original intention. Su Xiuming herself was not without talent, and she also had the upper hand. With the righteous status of the eldest son, the hope of the third family of the Su family to regain the position of the clan leader can be said to be getting slimmer and slimmer.
But once Su Yuliang died, even though Su Xiuming still had a bastard and had heirs, Su Ruoqian had been suppressed by his aunt for many years, and saying that he was gentle and gentle was putting it mildly. In fact, both Su Ruoqian and his wife are taciturn to the point of being almost dull. The most terrible thing is that although Su Ruoqian is a child of the Su family, his martial arts skills are extremely poor. According to rumors, it is not known whether his wife Deng is as good as him...
How could such a son convince the people of the Su family who inherited their family name through martial arts
Without an heir who can be recognized by the clan, no matter how powerful and capable Su Xiu Ming is, she may end up making a wedding dress for the third room...
What will this uncle do this time? I don’t know if my husband can withstand it alone in the imperial capital... The sixth uncle Shen Liankun is young. Although he has become much more stable after the big change, after all, his time is still short. He can basically do nothing for such a big event except to listen to orders. effect.
However, the second brother-in-law is still recovering from his injuries...
Wei Changying was thinking over and over in his mind, feeling a headache coming over him.
But I heard the sound of footsteps at the door, and Wei Changfeng, who was wearing a moon-white robe, walked in. As expected, he immediately said: "Sister, I heard that the fourth son of the Su family died in Panzhou, and he was with our sixth uncle." Is it related to Mo Binwei?" (To be continued)
