My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 309
The exciting, tsunami-like shouts and the scene of thousands of troops made everyone in the Su family return to the car with a drunken blush and talk excitedly in the small compartment.

The Su family is a dilapidated marquis who can give birth to a king, but the ancestral graves are smoking.

The image of today's civil and military officials and countless soldiers supporting Su Chen as he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor is still imprinted in the minds of the Su family. Sitting in the car, their bodies were still trembling slightly.

"This is the first time for me to see so many soldiers and generals."

"What is this? Third brother still has a few troops in the Central Plains... I recently heard that there are more than 20 cavalry on the grassland."

As he spoke, the carriage entered the city and turned towards Prince Xia's Mansion. The Prince's Mansion was rebuilt from the original General's Mansion and was not specially built. Even in the prosperous capital city, it occupies a large area and is magnificent in scale. After all, this is the entire northern city. The residence of those who hold power in the land and Central Plains.

Four carriages passed through the spacious street and stopped in front of the palace with two large stone lions. The Su family arrived here first and looked at the towering and majestic gate. Hua Hongzhen covered her mouth in shock. Her natal family was a merchant. The size of the Hou Mansion is already very large, but in front of the Prince's Mansion, it looks petty.

As soon as she got out of the car, she couldn't help but hold on to her husband's sleeves, she was so excited that she couldn't control herself.

"Husband, this is where my brother-in-law lives? I have always heard people say that every inch of land in Yanjing City is very valuable. To decorate such a large mansion, my brother-in-law must have spent a lot of money."

Su Lie, who couldn't stand his wife, was so shocked by such a mansion that he forgot to answer Hua Hongzhen's words. Looking at the gate of the palace and the soldiers standing guard on both sides, he felt a little dazed.

After a moment, Fang Xuejun, who was coming from behind, got off his horse, walked over with a smile, and handed the reins to the soldiers who came forward to salute. During this time, he completely lost the atmosphere of the past, and came over generously and greeted the two old people of the Su family. Afterwards, he bowed to the eldest brother, sister-in-law, second brother and second sister-in-law, one by one.

The etiquette is so thorough that no one can find any fault.

Seeing that the woman's hair was in a women's bun, Su Congfang and Xiao Wei looked at each other, pursed their lips and chuckled, without revealing it. They pulled Fang Xuejun in front of them with a smile, and the more they looked at it, the more they liked it.

The old woman also took off the jade bracelet from her wrist, "Xue Jun, this is for you. I have kept this jade bracelet for 20 years. It was prepared for that kid's wife. Now it can be handed over to you." "

"Yes..." Fang Xuejun was thinking clearly, and he didn't understand that the two elders had already seen it. With a blush on his face, he took the bracelet handed over by the woman and held it carefully in his palm.

Sister-in-law Yin Suhuan came over, leaned next to Xuejun, and whispered a few words in her ear, causing the two girls to chuckle.

Hua Hongzhen pursed her lips and turned her face to one side.

"Oh, just talking, I almost forgot to invite the Marquis and the old lady into the house." Fang Xuejun quickly waved to the steward who greeted him at the door, then stepped forward to help Xiao Wei, and then looked at Su Congfang, Su Yong, Su Lie said: "I will take you around the palace. I just asked the steward to prepare a carriage."

Su Yong and Su Lie were stunned: "Uh... carriage?"

At this time, Su Congfang and Xiao Wei were also stunned. Hua Hongzhen hurriedly stepped forward and took the initiative to hold Fang Xuejun in his arms. There was a trace of surprise in his eyes: "A carriage in the palace?"

"If you want to visit the palace, you need to take a car, otherwise you won't be able to finish the walk."

Fang Xuejun laughed and told the story of the day when she first came to the palace and walked around the palace with her senior sister Li Wangqiu for an afternoon.

"That day was really tiring, haha!"

This is true for all the skilled Jianghu people, not to mention ordinary women and old women like Xiao Wei, Yin Suhuan, and Hua Hongzhen. I am afraid they will be too tired to walk even after walking two miles.

Huahong was really dumbfounded. She couldn't imagine how big this palace was. She looked at Fang Xuejun with a longing expression, "Then where do you guys live? Do you have to take a carriage to the palace every time you come here?"

"Don't be embarrassed." Su Lie pulled his wife and frowned: "The Marquis's Mansion is quite big. Could it be that the residence is built in the back?"

"I'm asking my sister-in-law..." Hua Hongzhen turned her hand without leaving a trace, took the cuffs out of her husband's fingers, and hurriedly followed Fang Xuejun in front of him, who was looking at and asking questions.

Just the distance from the Feng Shui wall to the front yard covers an area of ​​eight acres. The Feng Shui wall is as tall as a city wall, with dragons and phoenixes carved on it, and clouds and mist painted with various colors of paint. It is as lifelike as if it breaks out of the wall at any time, giving people a very unique feeling. A great sense of oppression.

Everyone felt as if they were walking under the city wall. They carefully walked around to the back, and there were spacious rock-carved square bricks paved all the way forward. Stone lanterns stood on both sides. The maids and servants were coming and going under the eaves of the hall in front. Family dinner.Su Congfang entered the hall and did not see his son. He thought he had gone back home after the roar of the mountains and the tsunami, but there was no one at the moment, so he turned back and asked Fang Xuejun, who was supporting Xiao Wei.

"By the way, where is Changsheng?"

Before Fang Xuejun could speak, the old woman leaned on her crutches and said, "He is the King of Xia. Naturally, he has many things to deal with. It's not like you to be an idle prince."

"You...have done anything to me again!" Su Congfang has lost his temper with his old wife. Since her youngest son became powerful, her old wife has basically had the final say in the family. As the eldest son, Su Yong is almost in ruins. All the rights of the Hou Mansion were handed over to the great talent named Xun Yu.

After being a marquis for so many years, Su Congfang didn't know what her eldest son was thinking.

He didn't say much, and even cooperated very well. After all, harmony between brothers is the most important thing, and everything else is just a cloud.

Not many people came to the Su family, only two tables were seated, and there were six or seven empty tables in the hall. They probably understood that they were prepared for Su Chen and the civil and military personnel under his command.

"Let's wait for Changsheng. When he comes back, we can eat again." Xiao Wei sat next to her husband. She didn't take chopsticks, and her sons, daughters-in-law, and relatives around her didn't move either.

"Mom is right, let's wait for the third brother. We are a family. It's hard to get together, so we have to be neat and tidy no matter what." Su Lie smiled. As for the wink from his wife next to him, he didn't bother to pay attention.

The family was chatting at the dinner table and talking about taking a ride around the palace together after dinner. At this moment, there was a sound outside.

"Transfer to the palace, do you need me to accompany you?"

Su Chen was seen striding over in a royal uniform with black background and gold patterns. There were two huge bodyguards on the left and right. Wu Zixun was holding the Xia Wang Sword on the side. Behind him were a large group of civil servants and generals. come over.

Everyone in the Su family in the hall quickly stood up and saluted. Wu Huizhi saw Wu Zixun following King Xia and cast an appreciative look.

"Meet the king!"

Except for the two elderly people in the Su family, almost everyone in the Su family bowed and saluted Su Chen as he entered.

"There are no outsiders here, so we don't have to be so polite as a family. Don't we have to call ourselves alone if we don't see me? I'm going to starve to death when I eat!" Su Chen waved to them with a smile.

Immediately, he walked to his parents and sat down. Lu Bu, Huo Qubing, Li Jing, Jia Xu and other civil servants and generals who followed him in walked to the empty table while talking, and each found a seat to sit down.

Then he smiled and said to everyone who was looking at him: "Eat!"

……

The sky is moving among the clouds.

The news of the support of all the soldiers and the court's decree to abdicate the throne to King Xia has spread in the city, and many people have begun to run around and form cliques secretly. In the process of power transfer, there will inevitably be a turmoil, and everyone will unite. , it is possible to survive.

In the Qin Mansion, Minister of War, Qin Tingwen was lying on the couch. Hearing the news, he felt sad and angry.

When the night fell, he forced himself out of bed, took a sip of wine, looked out the window at the night sky with wet eyes, and his voice choked with sobs in his throat: "The emperors of the Great Yan Dynasty, that rebellious minister is about to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor. My old minister Qin Tong heard that if I can’t stand you, I won’t be able to save the country..."

The night was lonely, and only the chirping of insects in the grass sounded in the courtyard. The old man staggered a few steps to the desk, propped himself on the edge of the desk, picked up the sharpened ink, picked up the pen and ink, and rustled words on the paper, and wrote Many copies were made, and then the steward of the house was called to deliver these letters, and he was told to hand them over to the other party with his own hands.

In the third year of Kaiqian, on February [-]th, the news that the Emperor of Yan was about to abdicate was still fermenting. At this time, news came from the Western Regions. The envoys of the three kingdoms of Zhanmi, Tiele, and Guiyan were approaching the western grasslands. The team has entered Yantang Pass, then passed through Longyang County and headed to the capital to pay homage to King Xia.

At the same time, Qin Tong heard several handwritten letters and sent them to several veterans of the court. After the sky fell, they all gathered in the Shangshu Mansion to plan major events.
