The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty

The Xingqing Mansion on a rainy night soon returned to calm. A horse team of more than a hundred people surrounded a carriage and galloped north. Su Jin and Ye Li Duanyun were sitting in the carriage. After receiving the news that Li Yuanhao had been executed successfully, Su Jin Jin didn't feel relieved at all, the real hard time just started now.

The news had already been passed on to Zhang Yuan, and Su Jin asked Zhang Yuan to immediately notify the Xiangqing army who had camped secretly outside the city to prepare for entering the city.In the entire capital, apart from the 1000 members of the Ninth and Tenth Guards on duty in the palace, only Wu Hao's [-] miscellaneous arrests were left, and nearly [-] soldiers and horses were not under control. Even if Wu Zang Yepang only mastered [-]% of it, it would be enough to reverse the situation and bring everything back to its original shape.

The team went straight to the outside of the palace. Under the leadership of Eunuch Wu, more than a hundred people entered the palace and went straight to the Tianyi Hall in the harem. As soon as they entered the harem area, what they heard in their ears was the sound of crying and scolding. Teams of soldiers carried Lanterns and torches were being slashed and killed in several palaces where concubines lived. Su Jin understood that Ye Lidulan had already ordered to attack Wuzang Heiyun.

Su Jin expected such a situation, although he couldn't bear it, but there was nothing he could do, this is definitely not the time to meddle in these nosy matters.Entering the inner hall of Tianyi Palace, one can see at a glance Ye Lidulan and Li Ningling sitting on top, and below are several women kneeling or lying down, one of them is wearing a white fur cloak, holding a Crying baby.

Seeing Su Jin coming in, Ye Lidulan nodded slowly, signaling Su Jin to sit aside, and then continued the conversation with the woman in front of her. [

"There is no dark cloud, did you expect to have today?"

Su Jin looked at the woman named Wuzang Heiyun, and saw that she had an elegant temperament, picturesque eyebrows, and a fairy air that could not eat the fireworks all over her body. No wonder Li Yuanhao was crazy about her. Very beautiful woman.

"Sister Empress, do you know that this is very unwise, the crime of regicide is a heinous crime, you are playing with fire and setting yourself on fire."

"You have come to teach me a lesson. What qualifications do you have to teach me? You are bewitching the emperor with a charming face. I think that when you were my sister-in-law, the emperor killed my brother. I am afraid that a large part of the reason is because of you." Don't you think I don't know, you foxy son, you had an affair with the emperor before your brother died, and a girl like you actually came to teach me a lesson."

Heiyun didn't hide a look of shame on his face, but he returned to normal in an instant, and whispered: "I'm sorry for your brother, but how can I resist fate? As a woman, I can only go with the flow, our destiny is not all controlled In the hands of others, how can I have the strength to return to heaven? I know you hate me to the bone, the emperor has been killed by you today, you will definitely not let me go, Heiyun only wants to die quickly, but please show mercy , Liang Zuo is still a baby, he is innocent, please spare his death, even if Hei Yun dies, he will never be jealous of the queen."

Ye Lidulan let out a series of sneering sounds, and sighed: "I didn't expect you to have a pretty face, but a very dull brain. It doesn't matter if you die or not, this evil must die, and save him for revenge when he grows up? This palace is not that stupid."

Wuzang Heiyun panicked and said, "What's wrong with the boy? Has he ever had the slightest bit of hatred against you?"

Ye Lidulan said: "The child is naturally guilty, but who told him to live in the emperor's house, and he is your son who did not hide the black cloud, so he must die."

Without hiding Heiyun's tears, he said: "I beg the empress to be merciful, but let him live, Heiyun will pray for the empress' longevity even in the underworld."

Ye Lidulan sneered and said: "Don't think about it, unless you take out the secret edict left by the emperor. Before he died, the emperor said that he left the secret edict for you. It is said that he belongs to this evil species. If you hand over the secret edict, maybe I can Spare your mother and child."

Wuzang Heiyun shook his head and said: "I don't know about this, I don't want my child to be emperor at all, I just hope that he grows up safely and lives happily like an ordinary child, I have also persuaded my brother not to Fighting for power and profit, but he doesn't listen to me, and finally there is today's disaster..."

"You sounded good. Flying separately in the face of disaster, I didn't expect you to let it go. I don't have time to talk to you. Do you want to hand over the secret order?"

Wuzang Heiyun said quietly: "From Jiaojiao, because I didn't know there was such a thing as a secret edict."

Ye Lidulan gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, since that's the case, don't blame me for being cruel, come here, and throw that evil creature to death on the stone tablet in front of the hall, this lowly maid, cut off her hands and feet to make a human pig, and throw it into the stables go."

As soon as the servant promised, he stepped forward and snatched the baby from Heiyun's hand. Heiyun called out loudly: "Wait a minute, let my mother and son get together for a while."

The servant looked at Ye Lidulan, Ye Lidulan waved his hand and said: "Forget it, just wait for her for a while."

Wu Zang Hei Yun's eyes were full of tears, and he looked at the child in his arms lovingly, the child stopped crying at some point, and looked at his mother with open black eyes, with an extremely cute expression.

Wuzang Heiyun whispered: "Son, you cast the wrong baby, why didn't you go to the family of ordinary people, but to the family of the emperor, many people envy your luck, but in fact this is your misfortune , don’t blame your mother for being able, there is no way for your mother to save you, my mother is feeding you milk for the last time, go when you are full.”

After speaking, he unbuttoned his clothes and wanted to feed the baby, Su Jin turned his head quickly, feeling very uncomfortable, after thinking for a while, he finally got up and said: "The empress is just a sinful child, so what if you spare him? Our purpose is You only want to protect yourself, so why do so many so-called murders.” [

Ye Li Duanyun also said: "Yes, aunt, please spare them, it's so pitiful."

Ye Lidulan said angrily: "Shut up, what do you know? Keeping it is a disaster. If you don't cut the grass, you will have hidden worries in the future. I did this for everyone's sake."

Su Jindao: "Send him to a remote place as a general. No one knows his identity, and he himself doesn't know it. If he lives like this, there will be no future troubles. Isn't it good?"

Ye Lidulan looked at Su Jin and said, "Maybe Master Su felt compassion for this lowly maidservant because of her beauty? How about I give this lowly maidservant to you as a concubine?"

Su Jin said awkwardly: "What are you talking about, it's just a matter of fact."

Ye Lidulan chuckled and said: "Master Su, you should not interfere, I promise to let Ari go with you, but you don't care how we do things, I thank you for your help, but it is a matter of life and death in the future. This palace will not give you this face."

Su Jin opened his mouth and said yes, at this time it is definitely not the best policy to anger Ye Lidulan, otherwise it will cause trouble, and he intends to save this innocent child, but he also has the will.

"Oh, this child, this child...is dead!" The waiter's terrified cry came, and everyone looked up, but saw that the baby in Heiyun's arms was already blue and purple, and white milk was still flowing from the corner of his mouth. It was straight and motionless.

Wuzang Heiyun stretched out his snow-white chest and laughed loudly, pointing at Ye Lidulan and shouting: "You want to kill my child to vent your anger, but I won't let you do it. The child is mine. I gave him my life, so I will kill myself." Take him away, no one will be able to take him away."

"Crazy, crazy!" Eunuch Wu slammed his mouth and said: "Qi Madam, Wuzang Heiyun suffocated this child to death while feeding him with milk, crazy, crazy."

Wuzang Heiyun straightened his clothes, put the child's body on the ground, his face became ferocious, pointed at Ye Lidulan and said, "I'll never let you go even if I'm a ghost, I curse you from now on so that you can't eat and sleep , haunted by evil spirits, life is worse than death; I curse you for ever, the sky is struck by lightning, I curse you and your descendants, male robbers and female prostitutes become pigs and dogs, I curse you to die at the hands of relatives in the future, I am humiliated and die, I curse you... "

"Shut up...Pull it down, goug your heart, goug your eyes and cut your tongue, hurry up!" Ye Lidulan screamed; the servant quickly stepped forward and covered Heiyun's mouth and dragged it down, and Heiyun opened it The servant ran a few steps and bumped his head against the stone pillar. His head was covered in blood immediately, and he fell to the ground and died.

"Take off this bitch's clothes and hang it on a tree to show the public, this bitch servant, I am so mad at you." Ye Lidulan lost his composure and yelled, his face turned pale, and he was no longer graceful.

Su Jin frowned and said, "Empress Empress, that's enough, why bother?"

Ye Lidulan said angrily: "Didn't you hear how vicious her curse was? Didn't you hear?"

Su Jin said: "If a person is dead, why should he bear grudges? Where is Ari, I want to take her away."

Ye Lidulan said: "You want to leave? How do you leave when things are half done?"

Su Jin said: "I don't want to see you killing like crazy. I just came to help you protect yourself. Now it seems that it is not you who should protect yourself, but someone else."

Ye Lidulan gasped and said: "Go, you go, you don't even want to take Ari away, we all die here cleanly, tomorrow we will all be killed when there is nothing hidden, the prince and me, Ari If you kill me, you will be happy? Am I crazy? If I don’t kill others, do I wait for others to kill us? Now that we have reached this point, why pretend to be merciful? Our party members are not as hypocritical as you Song people .”

Su Jin frowned and sighed, what Ye Lidulan said was also reasonable, it was a life-and-death struggle, and she was a woman's benevolence, although their methods were vicious, but from the overall situation, it was understandable.

"Forget it, I've already helped you think about the countermeasures for tomorrow, but I'm going out of the city tonight, and I'm taking Ari with me. If you don't agree, it won't work. This is an agreement between you and me." Su Jin said.

Ye Lidulan looked at Su Jin and said, "What if I don't let you go? What if I don't let Ari go with you?" [

Su Jin sneered, "You will regret it."

Brother Li Ningling suddenly shouted: "I killed you, so what?"

Su Jin looked at Brother Li Ning with a livid face and said: "Kill me, not only you will die, but the whole Xia Kingdom will also perish. If you don't believe me, try it. Don't think you are very capable now. Say something that hurts your self-esteem. Just a coward, if you have the guts to stab me, just like you stabbed your father."

Brother Li Ningling's nose twitched, as if he wanted to rush forward, Ye Lidulan only gave him a look, and he immediately fell silent.

"Tell me, what will we do tomorrow? If I let you go, Ari will follow you. I will never break my promise."

Ye Lidulan calmed down, the most important thing right now is the current situation, not to turn against Su Jin, there will be opportunities in the future.
