Save my wife all over the world

==============================

The rumors in Xijing became more and more violent.

It lived up to expectations, and then the witch religion really stepped onto the stage of performance.He made the prophecy that "the emperor has no virtue, and there will be a catastrophe".

Gu Zhong asked the Taibu Ling to calculate the astrolabe, and knew that there would indeed be a catastrophe this year, but he was taken one step ahead by the witch religion, who cunningly coerced him away with the rumor that "the emperor has no virtue".

People in this era always believe in gods and Buddhas. In a word, whenever there is a disaster during the year, everyone's first reaction is to push it on the head of the current emperor. It is easy to arouse public resentment.

This is an upright conspiracy, and it is also a poisonous plan that hits seven inches straight.

Ling Yan has no way to do anything about it, unless he can get evidence of the collusion between the witch religion and the previous dynasty, there is a possibility of turning things around.

In this way, they can only passively wait for this group of treacherous officials and thieves to take the initiative to catch them by the tail.

The good news is that Gu Yang has sent a letter, and she has found a witch doctor who is willing to go to Xijing to treat Gu Zhong.

Not long after the beginning of spring, as predicted, the Qinghe River broke its embankment and the Jiangling Earthquake occurred. Even though Gu Zhonglingyan took all precautions against possible disasters this year, they still caused some casualties.

Obviously compared to the snow disaster that year, it was not a major event, but in a short time, the rumors of "God's Punishment" spread all over the world, and the people who are most likely to listen to the partial believers forget in a blink of an eye that it is Gu Zhong. The land equalization order allowed them to have enough food and clothing, and they all denounced with righteous indignation.

The aristocratic family, which had long been unable to hold back, took advantage of this trend and joined forces under the banner of "killing the courtiers and the side of the Qing emperor".

Everyone is bright in their hearts, and the banner is high-sounding, but they are already doing rebellious things, and it's just a little bit nicer in name.

The aristocratic family has always allowed the raising of private soldiers, and there are certain regulations. Although in recent years due to the new ritual system, it has been reduced a lot, but the combination of a family of states and counties is enough to pull up an army to attack the government soldiers. Not to mention that some county guards and county lieutenants are originally from aristocratic families, and they have a nest with them, and they hand over a county without any resistance.

In less than half a month, most of the world has been in chaos. The two frontier armies who are the most deterrent and most loyal to the king - the northern border army and the southern border army have been stationed at the border all year round, and they cannot be easily mobilized without tiger charms.

With the speed of the rebellious army taking down ten counties within half a month, even if Gu Zhong sent someone to mobilize troops immediately, it would be too late.

Not to mention that they are fully prepared, and the occupied counties have perfectly blocked the way to send orders for help.

The rebellious army fought with the idea of ​​a quick battle, hoping to conquer Xijing in one go, and pull down Gu Zhong, who completely threatened the foundation of their survival.

In less than a month, the aristocratic coalition forces, known as an army of [-], will be under the city of Xijing.

The gates of Xijing City have been sealed since three days ago, and no one is allowed to enter or leave.

Hearing that the rebel army was approaching the city, the people in the city were in panic all day long. The originally spacious capital became depressed and lonely, losing its former vitality.

This is especially true at night. Now that the curfew is issued, the grand scene of thousands of houses brightly lit in the past is gone.Only the majestic imperial city in the center of the city is bright all night long.

The Gyeonggi Guards, a team of ten people, closely patrolled the streets, showing an atmosphere of urgency.

A burst of hurried footsteps went straight to the city gate, alarming the guarding soldiers who were always on guard.

"Stop! Who is coming!"

The ax was placed in front of the visitor's neck, and the torch was lit, shining a light in the darkness. The archers on the tower opened their bows and set arrows, and aimed at the downstairs.

"Follow the king's order, and then issue the king's edict." The visitor knelt on the ground, lowered his eyebrows, and held up a roll of cloth with both hands.

The two soldiers guarding the gate looked at each other with hesitant expressions.

"What's the matter?" Another person came down from the tower.

"Lieutenant Yang!"

The two soldiers put away their swords and saluted with fists together, showing great respect.

The visitor was full of beards, with a knife scar running across the left side. It was Yang Jie, the leader of Qianniu who defended Beiling County a few years ago.

He must pay attention to it, promote him to lieutenant of Jingjiwei, take charge of the security of the capital, and guard the capital. Now the safety of the entire capital is in his hands.

"This person said, following the king's order, go out of the city to pass on the king's edict."

"Nonsense! Kill without mercy!"

Yang Jie's face froze, he pulled out the handle of the knife at his waist, raised the knife and dropped it, hot blood splashed on his face, and a human head rolled to the ground.

"Send an order, raise a candle! Investigate the movement of the disordered army outside the city. Martial law is imposed at the four gates! The patrol team will form a military formation and search the whole city!"

In an instant, the sound of swordsmen was heard.Seeing that the city gate could not be tricked, a group of black-clothed masked men hiding nearby jumped out and went straight to the guarding soldiers.

Outside the city, as agreed, shouts of killing shook the sky, and the chaos army attacked at night.

"Report! Your Majesty! The rebel army attacked the East Gate at night! There are rebels in the city, and we should cooperate with each other!"

In the Ganlu Hall, the lights were brightly lit, and a group of courtiers sat with the king, trembling with fear.

"How's the battle going?"

Gu Zhong put down the book he was holding, and looked very calm, as if he knew this beforehand.

"Lieutenant Yang responded properly. The rebellious army should be just a tentative move. If they failed to open the city gate, they did not try their best to attack the city. They have now retreated."

"Good. Ladies and Gentlemen, I don't know where the rebellious party in this city came from? Can someone explain it to me?"

Knowing that the capital is safe for the time being, Gu Zhong turned his burning eyes to all the ministers present.

It was only then that everyone suddenly realized why they were suddenly called into the palace in the middle of the night today.

There was silence in the hall, and no one dared to respond.Only the rustling sound of pages turning in Ling Yan's hands remained.

"Pity···"

Gu Zhong clasped his palms together and struck, and dozens of well-equipped palace guards came out from the curtains on both sides.He rushed into the crowd, detained several people, and dragged them down immediately.

"Your Majesty! What does this mean?" Those people were terrified and wanted to resist, but they had no strength to restrain the chicken, how could they stand up to the well-trained sergeant.

"Since no one is willing to answer my question, I can only ask a few adults to go to the prison to think about it first."

"Gu Zhong! You are risking the disapproval of the world, ruining the foundation of a literati, having an affair with a woman's subordinates, licentious and immoral! With such a foolish king, the Gu family will surely perish!"

Unexpectedly, someone broke free, rushed forward and cursed, after all, he slammed into the red dragon-carved pillar on the temple.

The red and white viscous liquid rendered jade-white bricks and stones, and some people who had never seen bloody scenes couldn't help retching.

"Procrastinate. I will trouble you all tonight, and I will live in the palace for the time being."

Pursing his lips, Gu Zhong stood up and gave an order, then flung his sleeves and left.

The surprise attack tonight was a safe bet.

A long time ago, Gu Zhong had replaced Gyeonggi Weiquan with absolutely reliable subordinates, so as to avoid the tragedy of the direct fall of Xijing due to cooperation from inside and outside.

But I have to admit that now that she is in an extremely dangerous situation, who would have expected that everything would come so suddenly?

What is unusual about this whole thing is that a large army of interest groups that are completely at odds with each other at will can work together without fighting or grabbing, and have no complaints about the quality of the land they occupy, and only want to Following the occupation of Xijing, the issue of internal benefit distribution was not mentioned at all.

The officials of the aristocratic family who are greedy for life and afraid of death are still making a tragedy in the palace today.

It's as if the ferocious tiger and leopard have learned to cooperate in hunting.

Based on the temperament of these aristocratic families who are usually able to fight for a long time for trivial interests, it is really not something they can do.The people involved behind this didn't think about anything other than witchcraft and the former dynasty.

There is also Chen Moxian, the former prince who was a court official in Xijing City. I don't know how much he has written in this incident.

"Your Majesty, it's late at night."

Ling Yan walked to the table and reached out to smooth the king's frowning brows.

Gu Zhong grabbed the delicate and soft jade hand and pressed it against his palm.

"The situation is critical now, and I can't sleep."

"The current plan, Gu Zhong, you know what to do. Just let them learn from others..."

Bending slightly, Ling Yan leaned in front of the young emperor, and placed a gentle kiss between her brows.

"no!"

With his long arms around, Gu Zhong pulled her into his arms, put his chin on his shoulders, and hugged her tightly around her waist.It seems that he is worried that the person in front of him will disappear in an instant.

"Is Your Majesty really not afraid of subjugation?"

Ling Yan helplessly chuckled and leaned against her.

"...Mister, you already knew that there would be today?"

After a long silence, the emperor let out a sudden sigh.
