Being a Lady of an Influential Family

Chapter 429: give up! (Two more)

  Chapter 429 Give up! (Two more)

  Tonight, the streets of the capital are extremely lively, which is different from the hustle and bustle of an ordinary bustling city.

  The remote and inconspicuous small alleys are still dark and quiet, even quieter than usual. People hide their lights at home early. Several prosperous streets and some important places were surrounded by soldiers and horses with live ammunition. Looking at it from a distance, there are rows of sculptures on both sides of the street. Listening to the rising and falling of guns and fires in the distance, the noise made people feel uncomfortable.

  Prince Mu’s Mansion was also under martial law, and Leng Sa and Fu Fengcheng naturally could not drive the car to the gate openly. In the end, the car could only be parked some distance from Prince Mu’s Mansion, leaving Fu Yucheng and Jiang Zhan in the car, and Leng Sa and Fu Fengcheng sneaked into Prince Mu’s Mansion together.

Seeing the two men disappear into the night, and then listening to the faint shots coming from a distance, Fu Yucheng shuddered suddenly and turned his head to look at Jiang Zhan who was sitting in the driving seat, "Brother Jiang, are you afraid? ?"

  Jiang Zhan glanced at him strangely, then asked, "What are you afraid of?"

  Fu Yucheng pointed to the outside, and then looked around. For a while, he didn't know how to describe it.

  Jiang Zhan seemed to understand what he was trying to say, and said indifferently, “There is nothing to be afraid of.

  Fu Yucheng wants to say that he has actually been on the battlefield when he was in Nagar. But this is a completely different feeling from the time when I was in Nagar. It is more dull and disturbing.

  However, looking at Jiang Zhan’s meaning, he obviously didn’t agree with him. Fu Yucheng was a little depressed and whispered, “I don’t want to fight.”

  Jiang Zhan looked at Fu Yucheng with a strange expression, the young master of the Fu family didn’t want to fight? It is not yet time for peace in the world.

   Fu Yucheng scratched his head a little irritably, "Anyway, there is a big brother, it doesn't matter whether I can play or not? I think I'm better suited to do something else."

   Jiang Zhan asked, "What do the Four Young Masters want to do?"

"..." Fu Yucheng was stunned for a while, and said in a somewhat slanderous manner, "I don't know." He was a young master by nature, but he was slapped in the face severely by reality after he had been too ambitious, so he didn't know what he could do. ?

  The defense outside Prince Mu’s Mansion is far less strict than that of Prince An’s Mansion. Basically, as long as the people in Prince Mu’s Mansion do not go out, people who don’t get in outside do not care about anything.

  Leng Sa and Fu Fengcheng easily sneaked into Prince Mu’s Mansion, and they also met Prince Mu in the study room of the Prince’s Mansion.

  Prince Mu was sitting behind the desk, with one hand rubbing the jade pendant in his hand with a complex expression on his face.

  Leng Sa and Fu Fengcheng naturally didn't know what this jade pendant meant, but they didn't rush to speak.

  For a long time, Prince Mu sighed and said, "I have finally reached this point."

   Seeing the two young people in front of him, they were puzzled, Prince Mu smiled bitterly, "Back then...Prince An originally wanted to give up the throne to me."

  Fu Fengcheng said, "The prince refused?"

Prince Mu nodded and said, "Yes, it's not a good thing to sit in such a position, let alone happiness. According to my opinion, there should be no Zen position back then, and Prince An directly abdicated the so-called rebel army. What to do with love. Even if people's heads are beaten to dog's heads, what matters to us?"

  Fu Fengcheng calmly said, "Prince An wants to protect the Xiao clan, and does not want all parties to go to war at that time?" If Prince An abdicates directly, it is hard to say what will happen to the Xiao clan. Retaining the name of a royal family can at least guarantee the safety of many people and bring things down as quickly as possible.

"Isn't it? You said he was an emperor who was forced to abdicate, what did he want to do so much? In the past dynasties, the throne is gone, which is not the country's broken palace and the family ruined? He wants to be considerate." Prince Mu sighed. "But it is precisely because of his actions that day that we wives have lived in peace for almost 30 years. It is almost the same."

  Prince Mu spread the jade in his hands and said, "Do you two know what he means?"

  Fu Fengcheng Road, "Please let the prince advise."

Prince Mu said, "He is going to give up the Xiao imperial family. This is a token of the head of the Xiao family. It has always been held by the emperor or the most respected person in the clan. He made an agreement with the man in the palace when he was on the retreat. As long as the throne can safely transition to the third generation, the jade pendant will be returned to them in fifty years."

   Leng Sa was a little curious, "Why is it the third generation?"

Prince Mu smiled, "The one in the palace had just reached thirty at the time. The Xiao family has never been short-lived. As long as there is no accident, the third-generation succession will be at least fifty years later. By then, as long as the royal family remains immortal. , It should be what Prince Ann originally expected."

  Leng Sa continued to ask, "Then now?"

  Prince Mu looked solemn, "Tomorrow morning, I and the remaining clan princes will jointly publish a telegram, and the Xiao family will abandon the royal clan status and become an ordinary Anxia citizen."

  Hesitated for a while, Prince Mu looked at the two men and said: "This does not include the royal family, and I am afraid that some people will not cooperate. Those people will be expelled from the clan and will no longer be able to claim themselves as the Xiao family."

  Fu Fengcheng thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice, “The Fu family will issue a power-on in the name of the six southern provinces to protect the safety of the Xiao family members who have left the royal family. Whether they want to move to the south or go abroad, the Fu family will do their best to help.”

  Prince Mu heaved a sigh of relief, the smile on his face became more sincere, and he smiled: "Prince An entrusted the things to the two, and he really didn't misunderstand the person. The king would like to thank Fu Shao."

  Many people failed to fall asleep this night, but the morning will come eventually.

  Leng Sa and his party did not return to the heavily guarded Fu Mansion until after three in the morning. Leng Sa was forced to return to the room to rest, but Fu Dashao himself convened people to continue the meeting.

  This is the case, Leng Sa also slept for less than three hours before being awakened by the sound of gunfire in the distance.

  As soon as she got up and walked out of the room, she saw Lan Jing turning pale, "Madam, are you awake?"

   Lengsa nodded, looked at the thick shadow under Lan Jing's eyes and asked, "Did you sleep well?"

  Lan sighed quietly and nodded a little frustrated.

   Leng Sa patted her shoulder comfortingly, "Don't be afraid, you will be fine soon. Where is Fu Fengcheng?"

  Lan said quietly, "Young Master and Long Young are still talking downstairs."

  Leng Sa turned around and went downstairs, and she saw a lot of people sitting in the hall. There are a few people Leng Sa known to Long Yue, and a few people Leng Sa doesn't know. Seeing Leng Sa coming down from the upper floor, the people who were still discussing violently stopped unanimously, and looked at the woman coming down from the upper floor.

   Leng Sa took a meal and said apologetically, "Am I disturbing you?"

  Long Yue smiled and said, "How come? Mrs. Fu Shao is here at the right time, so it's better to listen to it together."

  Leng Sa looked at Fu Fengcheng, and Fu Fengcheng also nodded at her before she walked into the hall and sat down beside Fu Fengcheng.

  Lengsa looked at the few people sitting across from each other. It seemed that everyone had stayed up all night. Whether it was the handsome young man in the past or the well-dressed noble boy, they looked a bit tired now.

   Zhang Jingzhi's eyes were full of bloodshot eyes, and her face was a little pale, "Zhang Shao uncomfortable?"

  Long Yue slightly curled his lips and smiled, “It’s okay, Shao Zhang is probably scared.”

   "..." Leng Sa was speechless, and Zhang Shao was not a timid person. Although he is a literati, he still doesn't change his face when facing the battlefield. What kind of Shura scene can be scared?

   Zhang Jingzhi seemed to think of something bad, she couldn't help but glanced at Long Yue and frowned.

   Standing behind Su Ze said, "Madam Shao, Shao Long has taken a rebel general."

  Leng Sa looked down at the soup she had just held in her hand, not sure whether to drink it or not.

  Long Shao looked at the appearance of an elite young man who was the prince of heaven, and started without any ambiguity. Is it worthy of being the marshal of the four northern provinces?

  Long Yue said dissatisfied, "Don't you slander me, as if it was my own hand?"

  Su Ze secretly said in his heart, is there any difference? Anyway, that hapless ghost has few pieces of meat left on his body now.

  Lou Lanzhou saw Zhang Jingzhi as if she was really vomiting, and immediately tapped on the desktop to change the subject, "Everyone, let's get down to business first."

Others immediately followed their kindness, Long Yue said, "Except for a few places in the downtown area, all of them are occupied by rebels. At present, except for the police and some scattered forces that have almost never fought, half of the Loujia army is blocked. Outside the city. The Fifth Army..."

Loulan Zhou said, "I just received the news that General Yuan Lu of the Fifth Army has agreed to send troops, but he will be able to arrive at the earliest tonight. The Second Army and the Seventh Army are stationed near Mocheng, which cannot be easily moved near the border. , And even if it were to move, it was too late. The Third and Fourth Army... did not make any statement without moving. It seemed that they wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight."

   "So... the opponent is the Sixth, Eighth and a small number of Fifth Army, and we currently have only half of the Loujia Army, and...a scattered team of no more than 3,000 people who have never fought at all?" Leng Sa said.

  Lou Lanzhou smiled bitterly, "Madam Shao summarized it well, and the other party occupies the most central position, controlling most of the cabinet officials and military generals. Not only do we have no soldiers, we have no generals."

  "..." This situation is really great.

   "Big Young, today's newspaper." The butler came in, delivered a newspaper, and then bowed back.

  In spite of the chaos in the capital, newspapers are still issued as usual.

  Today’s front page is the weird situation in Beijing yesterday. As for the speculation and conjecture of the situation, there is no value for reference and discussion.

The second edition is a huge statement. The An Xia royal clan headed by Prince An and Prince Mu jointly announced that the clan has made little contribution to An Xia in the past 30 years and feels very guilty for the effort. From today onwards, Xiao The family's direct line will no longer live in the royal family. Permanently give up the right of succession to the throne and all royal privileges and become a member of the ordinary people of Anxia.

  The news is actually known to everyone present. Prince Mu’s Mansion had already been energized to announce the news to the entire Anxia an hour ago.

  Not only the capital, but even the places that can receive the news thousands of miles away already know about this. Just looking at the statement in black and white in the newspaper, there is also a signed photo attached to it. The names of the Xiao surnames on it all represent the former royal nobles.

  Leng Sa discovered that there was no Muze Palace on it. It seemed that although Muze Palace had been hit hard before, he still had a firm belief in himself.

  Everyone flipped through the newspaper and put it aside, Long Yue said, "Fu's declaration, our Long's also counts as one."

   Lou Lanzhou nodded and said, "Lou's family also counts."

  Zhang Jingzhi was silent. It wasn't that he had any opinions, it was just that the Zhang family still couldn't let him call the shots. After that, whether the Zhang family will have the opportunity to call the shots will have to be questioned.

   Fu Fengcheng nodded, then turned his head and said to Xu Shaoming who was standing on the side, "Let’s make a text."

  Xu Shaoming nodded respectfully and said yes, the adjutant standing behind Long Yue and Lou Lanzhou also went out with Xu Shaoming under the sign of his family.

  Since the Xiao family showed their attitude at this time, they naturally have to reciprocate.

Although this statement does not have the family in the palace today, the throne in the palace was given by Prince Ann, and Prince Ann has already announced that his direct lineage has given up his royal status. To some extent, the position of the majesty in the palace is also It seems a bit unreasonable.

  Although this will not have any actual impact on the situation, the psychological impact on middle and lower-level soldiers and ordinary people cannot be underestimated.

   Leng Sa asked, "What are you going to do now? Do you have to wait for reinforcements from the Fifth Army to arrive?"

  Fu Fengcheng Road, "Brother Long and I led people to seal off the area in the city center, at least not allowing them to occupy more space. The rebels in other areas are cleared one by one. Brother Lou, the Fifth Army may need someone to respond."

  Neither he nor Long Yue have any people available in the capital, so now they can only rely on buildings.

  Lou Lanzhou nodded and said, "Brother Fu, rest assured, I will arrange for someone to meet the original general."

   Fu Fengcheng nodded and looked at Zhang Jingzhi, "Zhang Shao, the palace..."

  Zhang Jingzhi said, “It’s arranged. If it goes well, the three princes can leave the palace before noon.”

  Long Yue raised his eyebrows and said, "What did you get Xiao Yiran to do at this time?"

  Fu Fengcheng Road, "Xiao Yiran has been in the capital for many years, and he is more familiar with the situation than you and me."

  Long Yue said: "Are you sure Xiao Yiran will be on our side? He is the future crown prince."

  Fu Fengcheng said, "Although he often pretends to be crazy and stupid, he is a smart man. He doesn't know that even if those people succeed, they will not end well."

  Long Yue touched his chin for a moment and nodded, “That’s right, it’s impossible for Ren Nanyan to fight his old life just to grab the throne for the Xiao family? The man in the palace is not his long-lost son.”

  Fu Fengcheng said, "Then, everybody prepare for it and do things individually."

   "Wait." Long Yue said solemnly, "There is another question."

Others looked at Long Shao, and Long Yue asked, "Don’t forget, Sun Liangke is still in the capital. He has been quiet last night, so I have to find someone to look at him." Although the soldiers and horses Sun Liang brought into Beijing were not Many, but it is also a big trouble.

   Leng Sa said, "Leave it to me."

  Others looked at her one after another, and asked Leng Sa, "Can you kill him?"

The others glanced at each other, and Long Yue smiled, "Although it is best not to use the sword or the gun, but if General Sun is really unwilling to cooperate, then we have no choice but to be sorry for him. In case of an emergency, things should be done urgently. Right."

  Leng Sa nodded, "No problem."

   Seeing Fu Fengcheng staring at him from his side, he coldly smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't risk it."

  Fu Fengcheng didn't say much, but nodded while holding her hand, "Be careful about everything."

  Fu Fengcheng and the others went out soon. After slowly eating the breakfast that Yuan Ying had brought, he stood up and greeted Fu Yucheng and Jiang Zhan who were waiting aside, "Go!"

   Fu Yucheng asked, "Where are we going again?"

   said coldly, "Jiang Zhan, you go and stare at the Sun’s residence first. Sun Liang will report any situation at any time. Let’s go to a place first."

  Jiang Zhan's eyebrows couldn't help but jump, "Mrs. Young, where are you going?" He promised to protect the safety of Mrs. Young.

   Leng Sha laughed, "Don't worry, what is the danger if you go to see a person with a hemiplegia?"

  "..." Madam Young still knows this kind of friend?

  Fu Yucheng suddenly understood, his face changed slightly and stared at Leng Sa, "You are going to find... that He Rufeng?"

  Although he had not been with He Rufeng for a long time, he firmly understood that it was a pervert. "What are you going to do with him?"

   Lengsa nodded and said, "Take advantage of his illness and kill him. Don't you think he has lived too long?"

   "..." Fu Sishao was silent, he actually felt a little unable to refute it.

   Leng Sa raised his eyebrows and looked at him and asked, "Why? Not going?"

  Fu Yucheng gritted his teeth and said, "Go!"
