Oh my god, I don't know what happened.

The old lady, her daughter-in-law, and others stayed in the yard all night.

Only then did the old lady relax slightly.

Just when she was about to let someone explore the situation outside, preferably on the last shift before dawn, she suddenly heard a noise coming from outside.

The old lady felt a chill in her heart and quickly asked the housekeeper to send someone to inquire.

Several sleeping children and grandchildren suddenly woke up, with pale faces.

"Old...old lady..."

The old lady patted her sweet grandson on the arm and told him not to be afraid. Their family was not involved in this kind of thing and nothing would happen to him.

Sure enough, the housekeeper came back after a while and said that the housekeeper next door had all been taken away.

"Master Guan?!" The daughter-in-law looked panicked, "Isn't Master Guan an official from the Ministry of Household Affairs? Why did you take him? What... what did he do? Madam, then our master..."

The old lady quickly asked the housekeeper: "Have you seen clearly who is coming?"

"Unfamiliar faces, they have a yellow cloth tied on their heads, it seems..." The housekeeper was a little unsure, "It seems that they also saw a eunuch."

The daughter-in-law asked: "Who won?"

The butler shook his head, he couldn't judge.

The old lady was silent for a moment: "...Look again."

At this point, there is no choice but to look again.

Her son's official position is not high and he belongs to the neutral faction. It is said that no matter which side wins, they will not be involved. But no one can guarantee it. What if?

What if the winning party is in a bad mood and wants to settle the matter?

If her son was harmed by Chi Yu, there was nothing she could do.

The old lady is someone who has experienced the late emperor's ascendance. This is not the first time she has encountered this kind of thing.

That time, the commotion was bigger than this time.

All the officials, big and small, were detained in the palace and under guard. They were the only ones in the palace, young and old, women and Confucians.

The war was raging, and countless mansions were destroyed.

Because of this, many people fled with people from the mansion. But they never thought that there were fights on the streets. If you took such a large group of old, young, women and Confucian people to the streets, wouldn't you be putting yourself in a tiger's mouth?

Therefore, some people were not "liquidated" by people from both sides. Instead, they made wrong choices and ran into the streets and were accidentally injured by warring soldiers and horses.

When the incident was over and the officials were released from the palace, they saw the ruins of the palace and the bodies of their family members mixed among the corpses of soldiers.

And some people stayed well in the courtyard, but were unlucky enough not to watch the gate. The fleeing soldiers broke in, turning the courtyard into a battlefield, and thus turned into a human tragedy...

That's why, as soon as the old lady realized something was wrong after nightfall, she immediately summoned the entire family and led the nursing home in the mansion to watch the door closely and patrol around to prevent any mosquitoes from entering.

No matter who wins or loses, as long as the battlefield does not enter the palace, and as long as her son stays on the neutral side, their family will be saved.

As long as you survive this wave, you don't have to worry about the next few decades.

After a while, a servant came to report that there was a circle of soldiers surrounding the entrance of their courtyard, but the leader left with the people from the next courtyard and ignored them.

The old lady breathed a sigh of relief.

"Old madam, what do you mean by surrounding us? Are you afraid that we will escape?"

"Afraid of us escaping, afraid that we would run out and cause trouble, and even more afraid that someone would escape into our house and cause trouble for their arrest..." The old lady lowered her eyes slightly and said, "If they just surround us, as long as they

If we don't break through this gate, we will be safe."

Then, she asked her daughter-in-law to take the grandchildren back to each hospital to take a short rest.

And remind them to be more vigilant, the more it is like this, the less likely they will be chaotic.

For several days, all the major palaces in Beijing were under guard.

Some people were taken away, while others were still staying safely in the house.

Even ordinary people stayed at home and did not dare to go out and provoke the displeasure of the soldiers on the street.

A group of officials, some were "rescued" from the Lou family's banquet, while others were kept locked inside the palace gate.

Some of them were taken away and put into prison.

Some people were politely invited to rest in the palace, but they were not allowed to leave the room even half a step.

"My lord, do you know what happened?"

"How did I know? I'm still confused...what happened? I was drinking tea in a tea house and was suddenly kidnapped to Lou's house, and then..."

"Me too. I was walking on the street and said that General Zeng wanted to drink tea with me, but as soon as I entered the house, he was knocked unconscious."

"Uh... I also received an invitation, saying that General Zeng was invited."

"I am……"

…

Which person who can serve as an official in the court is not a human being?

Half of the sentences are true and half of the sentences are false, telling each other information.

Although I haven't fully figured out what's going on, I have figured it out - I'm afraid something big has happened.

Recalling that during this period, the imperial power struggle between Emperor Qin's faction and Empress Dowager Lou's faction became increasingly fierce, many people have already guessed the truth.

It seems that we should be in the final stage now.

After seeing again that none of the officials who were usually close to the Lou family were present, everyone had an idea.

Sure enough, not long after they were released home, they finally got the truth from the eunuch - the Lou and Zeng families had rebelled, General Zeng committed suicide on the spot after the defeat, and Duke Lou had been imprisoned.

Panda's eyes flashed slightly, he politely thanked the eunuch, and then walked towards his home with unsteady steps.

I don't know why, but I feel a sense of relief.

The struggle for imperial power is not necessarily a good thing for officials like them.

If there is a fight at the top, the people below will not be able to do things with peace of mind.

After all, everyone is worried that they are on the wrong team and will end up playing the game accidentally.

Pang Pangren was a staunch royalist, and he knew very well that as Emperor Qin grew older, Emperor Qin would definitely want to take charge of the government. But the Empress Dowager Lou and the Lou family had controlled the government for so long, how could they easily return power to Emperor Qin?

It's okay to say that you haven't tasted the taste of power, but Queen Mother Lou and the Lou family have tasted it.

A few years ago, it would have been okay if the important ministers appointed by the late emperor were still alive, but who knew that the two important ministers appointed by the late emperor suddenly passed away, leaving everyone unprepared.

Before the successor could be groomed, he was directly taken over by Empress Dowager Lou's people, and then Empress Dowager Lou and the Lou family "covered the sky with one hand."

To say how capable the Lou family is, it's really not that great.

Perhaps Empress Dowager Lou's father still had some abilities, but unfortunately, Empress Dowager Lou's brother was inferior to a woman, was spoiled, and was not a person who could do great things at all.

If it weren't for his status as the eldest son and the support of Empress Dowager Lou, the game would have been over long ago.

The younger brother of Empress Dowager Lou was quite capable, but how could his brother be willing to be overpowered by a concubine? He insisted on suppressing the younger brother and not getting ahead, and in the end the third concubine was ruined.

After the only ones who could stand out were left behind, there was no one in the second generation, and there was no one in the third generation. They were all a bunch of idle, dissolute, sensual people, looking for flowers and flowers, and playing with things to lose their ambition.

Not to mention the fourth generation. The fourth generation either imitates the same or has not grown up at all and is just a child.

Under such circumstances, it is surprising that the Lou family can achieve something.
