The great purges of the imperial court in March and April had far-reaching consequences.

I don’t know how many officials and ministers were imprisoned and killed, and I don’t know how many people fled Luoyang.

In short, after Sima Yue completely broke his face and replaced the palace guards, the authority of the imperial court was further reduced - this time it was not the enemy who attacked, but Sima Yue himself who threw the imperial court's face to the ground and stepped on it twice.

In the short term, he may have vented his anger.

In the long run, this will shorten the lifespan of the Jin Dynasty.

It is really surprising that the descendants of the Sima family would do such irrational things.

At the beginning of May, after the "trial" of Tingwei Zhuge Quan was completed, he planned the death penalty for those who rebelled against the party and reported it to the Sima Yue shogunate. Liu Yu and Pan Tao took the lead in killing them, and Sima Yue agreed.

So they killed all the Miao brothers, Wang Yan and more than ten people.

However, the family members were not affected, the family property was not confiscated, and the children of each family were allowed to collect the bodies for burial, which was considered a face-saving measure.

On the sixth day of the fifth lunar month, Liu Yu rode a tall horse and arrived at the residence of his uncle Wang Yan, surrounded by dozens of followers.

A funeral was being held at the uncle's house, but Liu Yu ignored him and walked straight in.

Many of Wang Yan's descendants were in other places, and they could not rush back in time. The servants brought the body back. At this time, it was placed on a bed, covered with a quilt, and white curtains hung around it.

This is the small gathering ceremony.

Those who collect and hide will no longer be seen.

Xiao Lian covered the deceased with a quilt, and Dali put the deceased into the coffin.

Collect, usually three days after death. "Those who collect after three days are waiting for the child to be born. If there is no child for three days, there will be no child... Relatives who are far away can also come."

Because there is no master in the house, only the concubine Jing Shi and Dian Ji Jing Cheng, and the family general Jing Hong is organizing the funeral.

As soon as Liu Yu entered the main hall, he couldn't move his eyes and stared straight at Jing, as if he couldn't see anyone else.

If you want to be pretty, be filial.

The Jing family was naturally beautiful, delicate and charming, but now she was dressed in mourning clothes, and she really seduced people. Liu Yu almost couldn't bear it anymore and pounced on her.

Fortunately, he still had sense and waved his hand, and soon his followers brought some money and silk utensils and placed them in the house.

Whether intentionally or accidentally, these belongings were piled beside Wang Yan's bed, next to Wang Yan's body.

Mrs. Jing looked at Liu Yu in confusion.

Liu Yu smiled handsomely and said, "Don't be impatient, beauty. I will come to take you back home in a few days."

Jing's face turned pale.

Jing Cheng and Jing Hong looked angry, but they didn't dare to say anything.

Liu Yu was a popular figure in front of Situ, and he was the one who suggested the murder of his uncle. Who would dare to offend him?

Seeing Mrs. Jing's look of death, Liu Yu felt itchy in his heart and couldn't help but take a few steps forward, wanting to touch Mrs. Jing's little hand.

Jing took two steps back and said, "Is Chang Shi going to do what Meng Lang did before my uncle had time to do it?"

Liu Yu stopped.

Then he smiled and said, "Then wait a few more days."

After that, he waved his hand, shouted and rushed out of the door, and went straight to Situ's mansion.

After Liu Yu left, Mrs. Jing fell weakly to the ground, her eyes dazed.

"Amei." Jing Cheng frowned and was about to say something when he heard footsteps again.

Prince Lang, a member of the Situ Shogunate, slowly walked into the mourning hall with his hands behind his back.

A pair of mung bean eyes turned around and quickly locked onto Jingshi.

I just stared at it intently for a while, and my mouth was almost watering.

Obviously, his determination is not as good as Liu Yu's, so he immediately wants to take action.

Jing Hong couldn't bear to see his sister being humiliated, so he blocked her and glared at Wang.

Wang glanced at Jing Hong impatiently and said, "Are you Jing Hong, the general of Wang Yan's family? You used to be very impressive."

"It's me, how will Wang Zhonglang treat me?" Jing Hong asked.

Wang snorted and said: "For the sake of your sister, I won't pursue the crime of collision."

After saying that, he glanced at the belongings sent by Liu Yu, and said with anger, "But there is one thing you must remember. Liu Qingsun is not allowed to agree to anything he asks for. These belongings will be sent back immediately. As for the order,

Sister, don’t worry. I will send someone to visit you in a few days. From now on, you brothers will follow me. It will definitely be beneficial."

After saying that, he glanced at Mr. Jing reluctantly, turned around and left.

He also wants to go to Situ Mansion.

We have something important to discuss today, so we can't miss it.

After the king left, Mrs. Jing's face was filled with tears, and she fell on the table and began to cry sadly.

When the uncle was here, he kept her hidden in his palace and rarely showed her to others. But even so, her reputation spread. She was good at music, and she was naturally beautiful and stunningly beautiful. How could she not be talked about?

Before the uncle could collect the body, the body was still lying there, and Liu Yu and the king came to fight with each other, showing their ugly appearance.

Is there any way for women to survive in this world?

If there is no man in the family, will he be bullied at will?

Jing Cheng and Jing Hong looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Mrs. Jing cried for a while, gradually losing her sadness.

She stood up, wiped her tears for a moment, and choked with sobs: "Let's bury my uncle."

"Amei, what are you..." Jing Cheng was a little confused.

"Take the coffin to the other courtyard of Guangchengze." Jing said resolutely: "Although I am a musician, I do not want to commit myself to such a shameless person. Go to the other courtyard! Guangchengze has beautiful mountains and clear waters, and the uncle of the country is buried there.

I’m sure you’ll be very happy.”

"Where's the house here?" Jing Hong asked.

"No more." Jing said, "There is no shortage of anything in the other courtyard, but that's all."

The two brothers looked at each other and sighed.

At this point, what choice is there? We can only leave.

****

In Situ's mansion, "all the wise men" arrived, but the atmosphere was solemn, and no one spoke for a long time.

The drought is getting worse.

Since spring, there has been very little rain, and it has stopped completely in the past two months. The seedlings have dried up and are about to die, and the people are gloomy and gloomy.

Fortunately, after last year's autumn harvest, a considerable part of the fields were planted with wheat, which will be harvested this month.

When the river had not completely stopped flowing, and when there was still water in Qianjintan and other Pichi ponds, the imperial court and even the manor owners and Wubao commanders organized people to carry water, and worked hard day and night to irrigate. They have managed to survive until now, trying to protect the wheat.

Can be harvested successfully.

There may be some reduction in production, but most of it can be harvested and put into storage, which is undoubtedly a great relief.

The millet planted in early February is finished...

There is no rain during the critical period for the growth of grain seedlings, and the Yishui and Luoshui rivers are about to be exposed, but I don’t know how to maintain it until the autumn harvest?

Those who did not listen to the advice and did not plant winter wheat after last autumn's harvest must be crying without tears.

Really, it is only the beginning of May, and it seems that we have seen the tragic situation of no harvest in autumn.

How is your life going?

"Heaven hates Jin De" - this is a saying that has only been circulated privately among fathers, sons, brothers, and acquaintances recently, but is known to many people.

Moreover, this sentence has a background: Situ Sima Yue bullied the emperor, was good at killing courtiers, and acted against the will, which led to this.

No one dares to say this, but many people believe it, including the shogunate’s aides.

Liu Yu sat there on his knees, but his thoughts were still on Jing.

That face, that figure, that air made him feel so itchy that he wished he could fly to Wang Yan's house right now, hold the beauty in his arms, and love her as much as he wanted.

The king sat not far away, quietly observing Liu Yu's expression, and turned a deaf ear to what the military commander Wang Yan said.

What kind of drought? It’s none of my business! It’s not like there’s no water to drink or food to eat, so what?

Just a few untouchables died!

During the Jin Dynasty, there were many people in the world, and there was no shortage of people who wanted to work on the land.

On the other hand, Liu Qingsun wants to compete with me for the Jing family, which is more troublesome. He is more favored in front of Situ, so he may not be able to compete with him.

The king was worried, his eyebrows were furrowed, and his face was full of sorrow.

Sima Yue glanced across his face and nodded secretly.

The king can still be of great use. Worrying about the Lord like this is commendable for his loyalty.
