Chapter 3443 Reappearance
Changsun Chong was shocked and angry when he heard that "Baiqisi" came into the house to arrest him.
What makes the prince so angry is that he dared to order the "Hundred Cavalry Division" to massacre the eldest grandson's mansion. Didn't he know that this place was the natal home of Queen Wende? Even when His Majesty Li Er came, he got off his chariot and walked in outside the mansion gate to show his loyalty. Respected?
What was surprising was that this was a severe stranglehold on the eldest son's family. The rebellion was planned through liaisons at the eldest grandson's home. After the incident was completed, it would naturally be the eldest grandson's family that would benefit the most, and they would be able to recreate the early years of Zhenguan. The glorious glory.
However, if he is arrested, he will not be able to continue to preside over the overall situation behind the scenes, regardless of life or death. Not to mention whether the mutiny will result in poor command and poor communication, but even if it succeeds, the Changsun family will definitely be excluded from the core. When it comes to rewarding merit and distributing benefits, won't the eldest son's family be severely overpowered by other families?
How can we lead Guan Long and control the government in the future? If we cannot control the government and regain the majesty of the early Zhenguan period, then what is the point of these risks?
He was horrified in his heart, knowing that he must not fall into the hands of "Hundred Cavalry".
At this time, he took a closer look and saw that the person who came to inform him was Sun Jing, the eldest son of Qi Lang. He said hurriedly: "Old Qi, go to the front quickly. No matter what the cost, we must stop the 'Hundred Cavalry' from breaking into this place. For Brother, please escape through the secret passage.”
Changsun Jing nodded: "Brother, please be careful!"
He turned around and went out, leading a group of domestic soldiers and slaves, and rushed to the front yard to try to resist the "Hundred Cavalry". Even if he couldn't resist, he still had to delay for a moment to buy time for Changsun to escape.
Changsun Chong held the sword in his hand, and when he rushed out, he saw several close confidants who had followed him to Dongliao guarding the door. He felt certain in his heart and said in a deep voice: "Follow me!"
He ran towards the backyard first. It had been snowing most of the night and the road was slippery in the dark. When he reached the corner, he staggered and almost fell. Fortunately, the soldiers behind him held him up. He jogged all the way to the backyard, dispersed the messy and frightened slaves along the way, and went straight to Changsun Wuji's study.
When he arrived in the study, he kicked over the desk in the middle, bent down and lifted up a carpet, revealing a wooden board. He then removed the wooden board and found a dark cave underneath, which was obviously a secret passage.
Changsun rushed back and said: "Leave one person behind and restore the room to its original appearance after I leave. The 'Hundred Riders' eagle dogs must not discover this secret passage, otherwise my life will be at stake!"
Two people clasped their fists together and said with emotion: "Da Lang will leave, and we will stay. We will have no complaints about life or death!"
Changsun Chong looked at the two of them solemnly, nodded and said: "If you two cannot survive, I will take care of your wife and children!"
"Thank you, Dalang!"
Changsun Chong got into the crypt first, and the other cronies also filed in. The last two people who stayed behind covered the crypt with wooden boards, spread carpets, and returned the bookcase to its original position. The pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the bookcase were They are also carefully arranged one by one.
As soon as all this was done, the door behind him was kicked open from the outside with a bang, and a group of "Hundred Cavalry" in black clothes and black armor rushed in like wolves and tigers.
The two men immediately stepped forward, tried to block the door, and shouted: "How dare you, is this a place for you to trespass?"
In response to him, the raised steel knife slashed down, the light of the knife flashed, and the two men screamed and fell to the ground dead.
"Are you crazy? This is Zhao Guogong's study. There may be a secret passage or something that should be interrogated." A school captain frowned and complained that his companions were too violent and killed too quickly.
The other captain shook the sword in his hand, and blood slowly flowed from the blood groove on the bright blade. He said disapprovingly: "It's just a place like this, can't we just search it?"
The captain gave him a deep look before, without saying anything, and waved his hand, and the "Hundred Cavalry" soldiers behind him began to search everywhere.
"Hundred Cavalry" is an emperor's eagle dog, which only obeys the emperor's orders, and its existence is extremely special. But no matter how special they are, they are all active-duty soldiers, not dead soldiers, and they all have their own family heritage, and most of them come from distinguished families. It is inevitable that there are some old relatives and friends behind them...
*****
Chongren and Yongxing are adjacent to the palace, Shengye and Anxing to the east are adjacent to Xingqing Palace, plus Yongchang, Yishan, Daning and Xingning are separated by one street to the north. Because it is close to the palace, most of the courtiers live here, and the dignitaries gather here.
Thousands of "Hundred Cavalry" elites rushed into the mansion to capture people, killing anyone who resisted, causing panic and chaos in the mansion. Some people knocked down the candlesticks in panic, ignited the curtains, and then a fire ignited from the house. There was no one to care about and no one had time to rescue, which caused the fire to spread. In a short time, several houses were ablaze, and the flames and black smoke shot straight into the sky.
There was a big commotion in the Sun family of Chongrenfang, and the people in the nearby neighborhood were immediately informed. Apart from being surprised, they were either worried and anxious, secretly applauding, or planning how to profit from this chaos... In short Half of Chang'an City became restless, and then spread to the entire Chang'an City.
Although Jingzhao Prefecture and Wuhou Street Patrol all took to the streets to enforce martial law, and strict residents went out to cause trouble, but how can such major events be completely prevented? There are still many families who send people to browse through the walls of the houses, to convey news to colleagues, relatives, friends, and old friends, and to prepare secretly.
The families in Guanlong and Guanlong who were planning a mutiny through Changsun Chong were in the middle. When they saw the fire in the Chongrenfang Changsun's mansion, and then learned that "hundred riders" had rushed into the mansion to arrest Changsun Chong, they all panicked.
Over the past few days, each family has responded to Chang Sun Chong's call, secretly reached an agreement, secretly gathered the strength of each family, or slowly gathered at the farm outside the city, or simply dispersed and sneaked into Chang'an City to hide in the mansion. In the meantime, he was waiting for the opportunity to suddenly launch.
If Chang Sun Chong, who is currently in the middle of contact, is captured by the "Hundred Cavalry" or killed on the spot, who will be responsible for the coordination between them? Without such a person responsible for communicating with each family, no matter how powerful the force is, it is just a piece of loose sand, because after all, Guanlong today is no longer the Guanlong it used to be. There are only some entanglements of interests between them, and the unreserved trust that once existed has long since disappeared. Nothing left.
Except for the Changsun family, who would be willing to entrust their life and future to the hands of others?
Fortunately, there is also Hou Mo Chen Qianhui who lives in a secluded home in Yongyangfang without leaving home...
Without leaving home, Hou Mo and Chen Qianhui's status, qualifications, and seniority are all there, and they are naturally the first leader besides Changsun Wuji. At present, Changsun Wuji is in Liaodong, and Changsun Chong's life or death is uncertain. As long as each family is unwilling to give up the big event they have finally planned for, they can only hope that Hou Mochen Qianhui can come back and not only serve as a "spiritual leader", but also It is to stand up and lead the various families in Long.
So, the Yuwen family, the Yu family, the Yang family, even the Helan family, the Doulu family... all the big families sent people to sneak into the streets and sneak to Yongyangfang to meet Hou Mo and Chen Qianhui, looking forward to this The "ancestor of Guanlong" can come out of his infatuation, step forward, lead the group, and work together for a great cause!
Just like what everyone did together at the end of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the end of the Sui Dynasty...
When everyone gathered in the simple courtyard made of green bricks and gray tiles in Yongyangfang, the entrance was blocked by a servant door, telling Hou Mo that the head of the Chen family and other clan elders were in the hall.
Obviously, the Hou Mo Chen family cannot confirm whether Hou Mo Chen Qianhui can come back to take charge of the overall situation after 40 years. The prospects of this move for the Hou Mochen family are immeasurable. As long as Hou Mochen Qianhui can be the leader of the Guanlong clan, when it is accomplished, General Hou Mochen will sweep away the decline and become a member of the Guanlong clan. The first class is on par with the Changsun family.
How can the Hou Mochen family, whose influence has always been limited to the military, be willing to give up such a good opportunity to go further?
In the heavy snow, people from all families gathered in front of the door and waited silently. They whispered to each other about the current situation, and most of them thought that the arrow was on the string and had to be fired. If Hou Mo and Chen Qianhui were willing to come out to take charge of the overall situation, it would not matter if Changsun Chong was arrested or even killed.
The biggest problem is to exclude the leaderless Changsun family. Originally, the power of the Changsun family has plummeted in recent years. Changsun Wuji still has the leading influence of the Guanlong nobles in the court. But when it comes to weapons and servants charging into battle, the Changsun family But it’s not enough...
There was heavy snow in the sky, and from time to time in the streets outside, the sound of the horse hooves of the patrolling Marquis Wu could be heard. Looking from a distance, there was a faint red light in the sky over the city to the east, which was the firelight of the Changsun family's mansion. It was cold and freezing, and these people stood in the heavy snow, and soon they were freezing and stamping their feet. Fortunately, they did not wait too long, the door of the main hall opened, and the elders of the Hou Mochen family filed out.
One of them stood on the stone steps in front of the hall, looked at the people coming from each family, nodded and said: "For the foundation and future of Guanlong, as well as the well-being of his descendants, my uncle has agreed to come out of the mountain again. Please come in and listen. Uncle’s teachings”
Everyone was overjoyed. As long as Hou Mo and Chen Qian came out to raise their arms, great things could be accomplished!
However, before the excited people entered the hall, they heard the sound of horse hooves in the streets outside the backyard gate. In a moment, while everyone was astonished, a group of soldiers broke through the courtyard gate like wolves and tigers and came in. .
On the heavy snow, the steel sword was bright and the formation was strict. A general with a helmet on his head strode forward with a sword on his waist in one hand and looked around at everyone with tiger eyes.
Everyone in the hospital took a deep breath.
It was the Duke of Wei, Li Jing, who led his troops to kill...(End of Chapter)
