Rebirth of a Star General

Although Emperor Wenxuan allowed Xiao Jue to bury Mrs. He, Mrs. He was still guilty and should not be publicized.

On the day He Rufei and Xu Zhiheng were executed, Mrs. He went to the ground for peace.

The tomb of Mrs. He Er was in a quiet forest on Donghuang Mountain in the capital, with pear trees planted everywhere. When spring comes, the pear blossoms are in full bloom, the wind is still and the birds are perched, and the scenery should be beautiful. Like all the noble girls in Shuojing, she obeyed her father at home and her husband after marriage. She was trapped in the eaves of the four corners all her life, unable to decide her own destiny.

Perhaps death, for her, may not be a relief.

On the stele is written: So Xian's concubine Dehui Yun's tomb.

Mrs. He's original surname was Yun, but now that she passed away, He Yan engraved this stone tablet. Even if she went underground, Mrs. He would no longer want to have any entanglement with the He family.

She crouched down in front of Mrs. He's tomb, lightly stroked the inscriptions on the tablet, and said softly, "If there is an afterlife, mother must not be a woman, if she must be a woman..." She smiled. "It's my turn to be the mother, and the mother to be the daughter."

Their mother and daughter, who had no fate in this life, didn't even say a good word. And from today, in this world, knowing that she is He Yan's, there is no one else except Xiao Jue.

Xiao Jue stood a few steps away. Mrs. He's identity was sensitive. At this time, Xiao Jue took Mrs. He and buried her, which had already been spit by countless censors.

A woman's voice sounded behind her: "You..."

He Yan turned around and saw He Xinying in plain clothes.

He Xinying was a lot haggard. The girl who used to be beautiful and full of moon was now thin and thin. She had probably cried for a long time, her eyes were red and swollen, she could see the faces of He Yan and Xiao Jue clearly, she was stunned, and stood a little uneasy. In the same place, after a long while, he opened his mouth and said, "Captain Xiao, Miss He."

"Xu..." He Yan suddenly stopped, "Miss He." Xu Zhiheng is dead, there is no Xu family, and there is no grandmother Xu.

He Xinying's gaze fell on the stone tablet in front of the tomb, and for a moment, her voice choked up, "But my... mother?"

He Yan nodded slightly.

He Xinying stepped forward in three or two steps, and knelt down in front of the tomb with a "thump", holding the tombstone without letting go.

On that day, a strange guard took her out of the prison and sent her to the residence of Wei Xuanzhang, the director of the Xianchang Museum. Wei Xuanzhang stayed in the academy all year round. There were only his wife and little granddaughter at home. Mrs. Wei took her very gently and sympathized with her experience. After He Xinying settled down in the Wei family, gradually, she pieced together the ins and outs of the whole thing from the servant's mouth.

It wasn't any different from what she had imagined.

All the things that were incomprehensible in the past were suddenly answered. Why did the "big brother" who wore the mask at the beginning always be extraordinarily cold to himself, while the "big brother" who took off the mask was extra patient and gentle with himself. Just because the eldest brother wearing the mask is actually the dead "eldest sister". She thought that the "eldest sister" who was recovering on Zhuangzi was actually the real eldest brother.

No wonder the eldest sister became blind soon after she married into the Xu family. There is no such thing as such a coincidence in the world, it's just man-made. After the death of the eldest sister, her mother became seriously ill and unhappy. It turned out that the truth was so terrifying and disgusting.

What about her?

The eldest sister has died, her mother has also left, the He family is gone, and the Xu family is also scattered. She was arranged by her biological father to marry Xu Zhiheng. The marriage of the family must never be broken.

Now that she is alone, where can she go? What can be done?

He Xinying cried bitterly while holding the tombstone, hoping that Mrs. He was still alive now, and at least she had someone to rely on, but at the moment, she was really helpless.

Suddenly I remembered that He Yan, who was alone in Xu's house, was the same. He was pushed into the abyss by his own family, and he had no comrades to rely on. Sinister intentions, so lonely and pitiful.

He Yan looked at her crying sadly, hesitated for a while, and finally walked to He Xinying's side, bent down, and patted her on the back lightly.

She knows the feeling of being homeless better than anyone else. She understands how He Xinying feels at the moment.

He Xinying cried for a while before turning her head. He Yan handed her a handkerchief, and she took it and said, "Thank you." Then she looked at the tombstone and said, "This inscription..."

It's like being carved for a mother in the name of a child...

"It was me who made the engraving." Xiao Jue said calmly: "I was a classmate with your eldest sister, and I carved the inscription on her behalf."

He Xinying was stunned for a moment and whispered, "Thank you." She turned to look at the tombstone with a complicated expression, "She really...even if she's gone, she can still protect me all the time."

In fact, she and He Yan, her sister, had not gotten along much. Even if she vaguely guessed the truth at the beginning, she was more shocked than angry. But now, at a time when no one can help, the warmth left behind after the eldest sister's death is enough to give her a sense of comfort. Whether it's Wei Xuanzhang or Xiao Huaijin, it's because of He Yan that he protects her so much.

If He Yan was still alive, He Xinying suddenly wanted to know what kind of person He Yan was.

The only few times she had contact with He Yan was when she was wearing a mask in the past, and when she returned to the house, He Yan got married in a hurry. She didn't have time and had no chance to get to know He Yan at all. He Xinying thought that if these people could help He Yan even after He Yan's death, He Yan, who thought of her, must be a very good person.

She should not be as weak as herself, and can find a way forward in despair.

"What are your plans in the future?" He Yan asked her.

He Xinying recovered, shook her head, and said blankly, "I don't know."

She really didn't know how to move forward in the future.

"Don't worry," He Yan said softly, "You can think about it slowly, and then do it when you understand it."

He Xinying smiled bitterly: "Can I still have a future?"

A woman who used to be the wife of a criminal minister, a woman whose whole family was collaborating with the enemy and betrayed the country, even if she was lucky enough to survive, what could she do? She also wanted to die with her family, but when it came to the end, she couldn't have the courage.

"Yes." The woman in front of her looked at her and said warmly, "You are the daughter of Mrs. He Er and the sister of General Feihong. You can do what she can do."

He Xinying raised her head subconsciously and looked at He Yan.

This woman... She had seen it at Yuhua Temple before, but at that time she was all attracted by Xiao Huaijin next to her, so she didn't take a closer look. However, Mrs. He Er and He Yan said a few words. Speaking of which, the Marquis of Wu'an in front of her is also very fateful with her eldest sister. She is also a woman disguised as a man into the military camp, and her name is exactly the same. Perhaps this is why God wants to use her hand to help her eldest sister.

In He Xinying's heart, she suddenly felt kinder to the woman in front of her, even though they hadn't seen each other a few times.

He Yan pulled her up from the ground, "I know you live in Mr. Wei's mansion now. If you need help in the future, you can ask someone to tell me."

"You...why are you being so kind to me?" He Xinying couldn't help but ask.

He Yan smiled and said, "My fiancé used to have classmates with your eldest sister, and I should take care of you. Besides, I only have a younger brother and no younger sister in my family. In the future, you can treat me as a Your sister. Although I am not as powerful as General Feihong," she said, "I will take care of you for her."

Inexplicably, He Xinying felt a sense of peace of mind. It was like in the lonely waves, and finally found a small boat.

"Thank you." She said nono.

"Go and incense Mrs. He first." He Yan smiled.

...

After offering incense to Mrs. He and burning paper money, Xiao Jue and He Yan sent He Xinying back to Wei Xuanzhang's house. Looking at the back of He Xinying entering the door, He Yan sighed softly.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Jue asked her.

"I just feel a little distressed." He Yan turned around and walked home with Xiao Jue, "I remember when I was in the He family, she was very innocent and lively, and He Yuanliang—" She refused. Calling out the word "father", "I always dote on her a lot. I used to secretly envy her, but she was also regarded as the victim of the He family in the end."

If He Yan grew up alone since he was a child, he saw clearly the coldness and ruthlessness of the He family early on, so the day when the truth appeared, it was not difficult to accept. But He Xinying has been living in a lie since she was a child. The little girl who was raised and raised by pampering will one day discover the ugly truth of the world, and she will collapse especially if she thinks about it.

Xiao Jue comforted her: "She will come out."

As he was walking, a pedestrian passed by on the side of the road, and he seemed to be talking about the execution in the city today. He Yan heard people say: "Then Xu Zhiheng was so scared that he wet his pants when he was pushed to the execution platform, hahaha, it's too funny!"

"He Rufei is even worse, one hundred and twenty knives, it hurts just thinking about it."

"Deserving it! Who let them do such unfaithful and unrighteous things, it's just a shame! It's just a pity that General Feihong, such a general who was born in Dawei for so many years, is a woman, but he was killed by them. If you die, His Majesty's move can be regarded as revenge for General Feihong."

"This is called injustice and debt and owner, it's not that the time has not come."

He Yan was a little stunned for a while listening to the discussions of the pedestrians in twos and threes. She didn't go to watch the execution. For her, the guilty people get retribution, that's all. Observation does not make her feel happy, and revenge is not the purpose of her life. People should learn to look forward. Only by looking forward can there be a future.

"Xiao Jue," He Yan said, "what are you going to do about Xu Xiang?"

Xiao Jue's eyes paused, and after a while, he said, "Almost, it's now."

...

The case of General Feihong, from the discovery to the discovery of the truth, to the convicted man's subjugation, came very quickly. After all, He Rufei was extremely guilty, and it was understandable to deal with it like this. But Xu Xiang, who stayed for trial, made things a little embarrassing.

Xu Jingfu's disciples are all over the court, although he dare not say it directly, there are many people running for him these days. Most of them take the credit of Xu Jingfu when Emperor Wenxuan ascended the throne. He also said that He Rufei's confession cannot be convicted based on a few letters alone, and Xu Jingfu was wronged.

But soon, General Feng Yun Xiao Huaijin brought two people in the Golden Palace in person, the survivors of the Battle of Mingshui, a pair of brothers surnamed Luo. In front of the civil and military officials, brothers surnamed Luo told Emperor Wenxuan the truth of the battle of Mingshui. It was Xu Jingfu who secretly colluded with the traitors in the Xiao family's army and deliberately sent the military map to Nanman. The reason why Xiao Zhongwu Mingshui The disastrous defeat in the First World War was not due to improper command, but because Xu Jingfu's men shot cold arrows in the back, and the entire army was annihilated.

As soon as these words came out, the imperial court was shaken up and down, and Emperor Wen Xuan was furious in front of his ministers.

Everyone knows that in the battle of Mingshui, Xiao Zhongwu suffered a tragic defeat, and the Xiao family almost collapsed. If it wasn't for Xiao Huaijin's determination to break the boat and bring 3,000 soldiers and horses to the Nanban, today's Great Wei will never have the current "General Fengyun" .

After the Battle of Mingshui, the civil servants were accusing Xiao Zhongwu of being arrogant and arrogant, and the most powerful of them was Xu Jingfu. Emperor Wenxuan also let the Xiao family sit on the cold bench for a long time. Now that the truth is out in the open, it is really Xu Jingfu who is behind it. First, it makes the old ministries who used to follow Xiao Zhongwu chill, and secondly, it also makes people feel that Emperor Wenxuan is really loyal. Indiscriminate and absurd.

Emperor Wenxuan was furious, and ordered the Dali Temple to thoroughly investigate the entire Xu family, retrial the old case of the Mingshui World War I, and never stop until the trial is clear.

In this way, everyone in the original Xu Dang is in danger, and the building will collapse. Who cares about Xu Xiang or Xu Xiang, and wants to cut off all his past involvement with Xu Jingfu. At the same time, everyone is also afraid of the legendary Jade-faced Governor. He has been dormant for so many years and has never given up to investigate this matter. Who knows if Xiao Huaijin has any other evidence in his hands.

It is not easy to uproot an old tree that has grown for many years, but judging from Xiao Huaijin's momentum, it is clear that he will settle accounts after the fall, and he does not intend to spare a single one.

In the prince's mansion, Guang Yan walked around the hall restlessly.

The servants all knelt aside and did not dare to respond. These days, the prince's temperament has become more and more bad. A few days ago, he even beat the prince. Everyone knows who he is angry with. The prince and Xu have been together for many years. Xu Xiang has always supported the prince. Xu Xiang's downfall is tantamount to his own broken arm, and that's all. But the old man is cunning and cunning. After so many years, he has no evidence in his hands. If he were to be pulled into the water together... The prince clenched his fists and his expression became more and more sinister, Guang Shuo would never let this opportunity go!

When he was on the Tianxing Terrace, Guangshuo contributed to He Rufei's case. Now that the He family and the Xu family have collapsed, if the Xu family is the next one, and the next one, wouldn't it be him?

Good wow, they are one or two, I am afraid that today is accurate. If they were allowed to succeed at this time, wouldn't they fall short? But now that Emperor Wenxuan was angry, he couldn't help Xu Jingfu speak at this juncture. Besides, the evidence in Ming Shui's case is conclusive. Right now is when Xiao Huaijin is complacent, he can only avoid his edge and dare not fight head-on.

Just thinking about it, a maid came in outside, walked up to him, and said softly, "Is Your Highness worried about Xu Xiang?"

At this juncture, the only one who dared to come and talk to him was Yingxiang, the favored maid.

Guangyan glanced at Yingxiang, but he didn't have the intention of flirting with the beauty today, he just said, "Not bad."

"Isn't this a good thing to ask the servant to tell you?" Ying Xiang supported Guang Yan and sat down on the soft slump, and gently pressed his shoulders for him, "Your Highness doesn't think that Xu Xiang's hand is too long, now that Xu Xiang has an accident, In the future, His Highness should have less troubles."

"What do you know?" Guangyan said impatiently: "Xu Jingfu is a member of Ben Gong! If something happens to him, Ben Gong will be like a broken arm, and all the planning in the past few years will come to nothing!"

"Your Highness is worried that after Xu Xiang is gone, there will be no one to replace?" Ying Xiang smiled and said, "Don't Xu Xiang still have a son-in-law? It's not that he can't take Xu Xiang's place."

Chu Zilan? Guang Yan was slightly startled.

He was intending to win over Chu Zilan, but these days, one after another, he also left Chu Zilan behind. Now, listening to Yingxiang's reminder, he suddenly thought of what Manningbu said in his house. Come over.

"With the same means and connections, a young eagle is easier to train than an adult venomous snake, isn't it?"

Chu Zilan was taught by Xu Jingfu. Compared with Xu Jingfu's ruthlessness, he seemed more gentle and harmless, but he had done many things for Xu Jingfu over the years. No one will underestimate him, otherwise he is really incompetent, how could Xu Jingfu marry Chu Zilan the pearl of his palm.

But... he shifted his gaze to the beautiful face of the maid in front of him, suddenly reached out and grabbed Yingxiang's wrist, pulled her into his arms, and asked, "Chu Zilan is Xu Jingfu's student, when Xu Jingfu falls, Chu Zilan will fall. If he can't run away, how do you know... he will escape?"

"The slave is just talking about it casually," Ying Xiang didn't struggle, she still maintained a submissive smile, snuggled in his arms, and said softly, "After all, she is the master of the slave in the past."

Guangyan stared at her for a long time, sneered, pinched Yingxiang's chin, forcing her to look directly at him, "Bengong hates betrayal the most, Yingxiang, in the whole mansion, you are the most beloved servant of this palace, I hope you have a clear understanding of what to do and what not to do. If Ben Gong finds out that you are having an affair with outsiders behind Ben Gong's back...you have to know," his smile looked a bit hideous, "to die in the Prince's Mansion. There aren't many women like you here."

Ying Xiangjiao smiled and said: "Your Highness is scaring the slaves again, the slaves are His Highness's people in life, and the ghosts of His Highness in death, how can they have an affair with others? It is Your Highness, don't have new people, forget the old ones. "

The beauty looks bright and moving, and her eyes are all obedient, and there is no doubt about it.

"As long as you are obedient," Guangyan touched her face with satisfaction, "Bengong will always dote on you."

Ying Xiang smiled and lowered her head. On her slender wrist, there was an obvious blue mark on her slender wrist. She quietly covered the blue mark with her sleeve and buried her head in Guang Yan's arms. , to hide the deep meaning in his eyes.
