Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 333 Fengming Xiaoshan Side

She hurriedly put down the teacup, but when she looked up, she found that Yu Wenye also seemed to be in a daze. Although he was not like her, his fingers holding the teacup to his mouth were also slightly stiff.

The two looked at each other, and there was a little light in their eyes.

Obviously, both of them were shocked by those two words——

Zuojia!

This surname and this family are no strangers to them, especially to Yu Wenye, they can even be called familiar, because the Zuo family is also from Dingchuan Army Town, and like the Yuwen family and other aristocratic families, they assist The former emperor Chu Yin established the Daye Dynasty and made great military exploits.

At that time, the deacon of the Zuo family was Zuo Chen'an, the duke of Xiaoshan County who later served as prime minister in the two dynasties!

However, this powerful Xiao Shangong did not live until now, because shortly after Chu Yang ascended the throne, he passed away due to illness.

However, there were many speculations about his death later.

After all, such an important minister who was in his prime of life, brave and good at fighting, and high in power, was unlikely to lose his life because of a small wind and cold; after that, there were even rumors that he died when the emperor personally sent someone to After giving him medicine from the palace.

Of course, this kind of thing is groundless and unfounded, and it was just a guess at first, but what happened afterwards seems to confirm these guesses.Because after Zuo Chen'an's death, his family was not reused by the court, especially the son who inherited his title was suppressed by the court and directly deprived of his title. For a while, a prominent family gradually fell apart and withered.

So his eldest son Zuo Heng rebelled against the imperial court.

That is, the Zuojia rebellion that was so powerful back then.

Sensing the sudden silence of the two honored guests, the stall owner was afraid that he might have said something wrong, so he hurriedly laughed and said, "Hey, look at what I said, old millet and rotten sesame seeds, the water is boiling, and I will make tea for you. "

After finishing speaking, he turned and walked back to the stove.

But the two people left behind had different expressions. Shang Ruyi raised her head subconsciously and saw Yu Wenye looking at her too.

She couldn't help but panic: "What are you looking at me for?"

Yu Wenye said, "Why are you panicking?"

"I, why am I panicking?"

"..."

Facing her obviously messy eyes, Yu Wenye didn't say anything more, but silently took out a handkerchief from his bosom, took her hand again, and gently wiped her wet fingers just now.

His hands are steady and strong, which makes Shang Ruyi's fingertips tremble unconsciously.

He said, "You said you didn't panic?"

"..."

Shang Ruyi bit her lower lip, and hastily withdrew her hand. Although the tea had been wiped clean, her heart was still beating wildly. I don't know if it was because of "Zuojia" or because it was left on her fingertips. touch.

Seeing that she refused to speak, Yu Wenye didn't force it, but said calmly: "I actually have a deep memory of that incident. After all, Zuo Heng is the oldest and most capable person in our group. People. Speaking of the ability to lead the army - even today, he is not inferior to anyone."

Shang Ruyi couldn't help but glanced at him.

Yu Wenye does not have an arrogant attitude, but he has the most arrogant heart. If he wants to praise others, unless that person can really convince him.

As for the matter of leading the army, she also knew that he had absolute strength and the capital of pride.

However, even he said that Zuo Heng's ability to lead the army is not inferior to anyone, and this obviously includes himself.

Shang Ruyi thought for a while, then said softly, "Of course."

Even though her family fell earlier and she was not very familiar with these honorable children, she had heard about Zuo Heng's rebellion in the two prefectures of Ying and Song with a great momentum and tens of thousands of followers.What's more, because the leader of the army was born in a famous family and was brave and good at fighting, the imperial court's counter-insurgency army was frustrated several times. Even if the emperor was in Luoyang, he almost let Luoyang fall.

Afterwards, dozens of King Qin's divisions from all over the country sent troops together to suppress Zuo Heng's rebellion.

It is said that at the end of the battle, he fought thousands of enemies alone, and did not surrender until he died. The blood shed from his body stained a large area of ​​land red, and he did not retreat for months!

He died tragically, leaving the deepest bloodstain on the Daye Dynasty's rule.

Because after that, rebels from all over the country swarmed up, and the imperial court was seriously injured after this rebellion, and gradually lost its control over various places.

Shang Ruyi said softly: "I also heard my uncle mentioning him. Uncle often regrets that if he can be used by the court—"

Before he finished speaking, he heard Yu Wenye chuckle.

Shang Ruyi said, "What are you laughing at?"

There was a bit of coldness in Yu Wenye's eyes, and he said lightly: "He was forced to a corner by the court, so how could he be used by the court; if the court is willing to use him, how could he be forced to a corner?"

Shang Ruyi slowly clenched her hand on the table.

After being silent for a while, she said softly, "You know why he was cornered by the court?"

Yu Wenye turned to look at her: "You know?"

Shang Ruyi said: "Actually, I didn't know it before, but I seem to know it just now."

Yu Wenye felt strange and asked, "Why?"

Shang Ruyi looked at him, then fell silent for a while, and said softly: "After the third generation of Huangtu, Wang Gang won the people's mouth. Fengming Xiaoshan side, also look at Mizizhou..."

Yu Wenye frowned immediately.

It is this prophecy song again.

She had mentioned it before on the way back to Dongdu from Yanmen County, but Yu Wenye stopped her immediately, saying that these were all nonsense, and didn't take it seriously, but unexpectedly, Shang Ruyi mentioned it again at this moment. .

He said, "Why do you believe in these things?"

Shang Ruyi said: "I don't necessarily have to believe it. But I just thought that Xiao Shangong's death and Zuo Heng's suppression by the court may have something to do with this prophecy song."

"..."

Yu Wenye was startled, and after concentrating on thinking about it, he suddenly understood.

Fengming Xiaoshan side...

He looked up at Shang Ruyi, and said: "You mean, the imperial court doubted Xiao Shangong's title and accepted this prophecy, so he no longer trusted the Zuo family, and later deprived him of the title."

Shang Ruyi nodded and said: "Actually, suppressing the Zuo family is already the second wave of the imperial court to clean up people who should be prophesied. Before that, there was another person related to Xiao Zi, who was also suppressed by the imperial court. ?”

Yu Wenye's eyes flashed suddenly: "Xiao Yuansui..."

Shang Ruyi said: "I remember that Xiao Yuansui became a serious offender of the imperial court because he participated in the Zuo family's rebellion. Afterwards, Zuo Heng died in battle, but he escaped everywhere after he survived."

"..."

This time, Yu Wenye didn't speak any more.

He just frowned and thought for a long time, a faint light flickered in those deep eyes.

After a while, he murmured: "Fengming Xiaoshan..."
