Chapter 120: Pleading

Mrs. Tu was immediately taken into custody. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoNot only is she being guarded, but even the girls and mother-in-law around her are no exception. The head of the Tu family is determined to cut off her contact with the outside world.

Mrs. Tu's eyes were red, and her heart was broken: "Master, don't you ignore our decades of husband and wife love, and don't you care about the love of flesh and blood? ! You ask me if only the princess is your own daughter, isn't the princess your biological daughter?"

The head of the Tu family barely put on a big coat at this time, and looked back at his wife coldly: "It is precisely because she is my biological daughter that I can't watch her go to a dead end, and even the children are affected, let alone let her drag our Tu family down the abyss! Madam, you have to blame me for being ruthless, and I have nothing to say." Since I am the head of this family, it is naturally impossible for me to only pretend to be my wife and children in my heart, and I have to think about the lives of this family full of nearly 1,000 people!"

He walked out with the support of his henchmen, and instructed as he went: "Zhen Lili's family members and friends are not allowed to escape, and they are ordered to be taken care of first, and if someone from the government comes to lock them up, just hand them over." Ask someone to send Li Yansheng home, so that he doesn't have to come again in the future, and no one in the family is allowed to have any more contact with the Li family! If anyone from the Li family comes, no matter who it is, he will be sent out directly, and he will not be allowed to enter the door!"

He hadn't forgotten to ask someone to summon Li Yanchao's grandfather and order him to kneel in the ancestral hall for a few hours. He doesn't have time to pay attention to this side branch now, but he definitely doesn't have a good impression of the people who bring trouble to the Tu family and his daughter. The Li family is a foreigner, and he can't control it, but he can always manage the Li family's wife's father and his side cousin. If the Li family is smart enough, they should know what to do at this time. He also took the opportunity to breathe a sigh of relief!

At this time, the housekeeper suddenly came to report: "Back to the master, I just counted the maiden mother-in-law in the main courtyard, and found that the red mandarin duck was missing! The janitor over there didn't know about the inner court, so he told her to escape. ”

The head of the Tu family was stunned, and his face became gloomy.

The red duck is the big girl next to Mrs. Tu, and she values her, but she is not the queen of Mrs. Tu's room, but the son of the Tu family. Now he is no different from a seller.

He looked back at his wife in the house coldly, Mrs. Tu had just received the news of the successful escape of the red mandarin duck from the girl next to her, and her heart was suddenly relieved. Red Mandarin has always been clever, she is the one who is guarding the door, she must hear something, and she may be able to successfully spread the news to the ears of her daughter Princess Shu, so that Princess Shu can prepare early. Mrs. Tu only regretted that the royal medical officer left too early, and there was no chance to speak in private, otherwise there would be no need for the red mandarin to take such a big risk.

She looked at her ugly husband, and a triumphant smile appeared on her lips.

The head of the Tu family just sneered: "What a fool! What does she think she can do if she escapes? As a slave and maid of the Tu family, she does things that betray her master, and this girl can't be left!" He instructed the steward to immediately go to the government to sue the official, saying that the red duck stole the master's huge money and property and fled, and asked the government to lock it up, and at the same time tied up all the family members of the red duck and sent them to the human tooth to be sold, and also made it clear to the human tooth that she should sell them one by one, so that her family was all scattered and not reunited. As for where to sell it, he has no opinion at all and will not pay attention to it.

Mrs. Tu's eyes were split, her husband's move was to cut off her arm! The red mandarin duck family is all her people, and if she disposes of it like this, won't all of them be abolished? The girls and mothers-in-law around her are even more frightened. Even a decent girl like Red Mandarin, her parents are still in charge, they can only end up like this, and they also affect the whole family, so if they disobey the head of the family......

Everyone is secretly revising their positions, but they just don't show their faces. They still have to wait by Mrs. Tu's side, it is impossible to openly offend the housewife, but in fact, what to do, they have already made a choice in their hearts.

However, the head of the Tu family did not pay much attention to his wife's reaction, and did not even send another person to hunt down the red mandarin. As long as she sues the official in the name of stealing, this girl will be considered invalid. What's more, where she will flee is not a secret to the head of the Tu family at all. He didn't think his daughter could do anything if she got the news. The most important thing at the moment is to enter the palace to explain the truth to the Queen Mother and ask the Queen Mother and the Emperor for guilt.

By this time, it may be a little late to ask for sin, but what needs to be done is still to be done. He is the head of the family, and he always has to protect the lives of the whole family. Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should be fine, and the people who attacked him, whether it was Li Yanchao or Zhen Lili, were not strictly speaking members of the Tu family, and when necessary, there was nothing that could not be parted with. The safety of the Tu family is the most important thing.

Not to mention what the head of the Tu family said to the Queen Mother in Cining Palace, and how he provoked the Queen Mother's anger, he could only kneel in front of the palace and kowtow to ask for guilt, the emperor in the Qianqing Palace received the news not long after, and even knew what the head of the Tu family said in front of the Queen Mother. He also knew that the Queen Mother had begun to redress and change her clothes, and ordered someone to prepare a phoenix chariot to go to the Qianqing Palace. She plans to bring the head of the Tu family with her, and what she plans to do is not to guess.

The emperor smiled faintly: "The Queen Mother is still so wise, she always knows what kind of approach is the most correct." ”

Zhang Chaogui cautiously glanced up at the emperor, and saw that he didn't seem to be angry, so he asked tentatively: "Does Your Majesty plan to see the Queen Mother?" The only son is in danger, and it is normal for the emperor to dry the Queen Mother and the head of the Tu family.

But the emperor didn't intend to be so stingy: "Naturally, I want to see it." That's the Queen Mother. He can receive the news of his son's safety every few days, and he is in a good mood, but he has more funny thoughts about the gangsters who have tried to hurt his son but have been slipped around so far, and he can't find the north at all. There is anger, but it is not enough to move the anger to the queen mother. He knew that this matter had nothing to do with the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother knew about the prince's departure from Beijing for a long time, and she was able to hide it until now, even the concubines, the Tu family and the beloved young son of the King of Shu knew nothing, which shows that the Queen Mother is protecting the prince in her heart. He is not so confused that he can tell the difference between right and wrong.

It's just that the head of the Tu family still needs to be beaten, and he actually connived at the woman of the house to do such evil things, he still knows nothing, and he didn't find out the truth until today, which is really ridiculous and disgusting. Take this opportunity to let the Tu family be more honest, and don't always think about getting ahead in the court. As a foreign relative, why do you always want to hold real power in your hands? It is enough to enjoy wealth and honor. If one of the descendants is promising, he will have his own family in the future. The emperor even restrained the Qin family so tightly, let alone the Tu family, which was separated by a layer?

Zhang Chaogui looked at the emperor's face, had already guessed his thoughts, his heart was relieved, and he said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the servants just heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has crossed the Yellow River, the group is safe, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not unwell, so it can be seen that it is really good." Count the days, I'm afraid that in a few days, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will return to the capital!"

The Emperor smiled, "I already know. This time, the prince was able to return to Beijing safely, Yongjiahou, Huang Jincheng, Shen Weiying and others all made great contributions, and the governor of Zhejiang assisted from the side, and also had merit. There are also two boys, Zhao Mo and Qin Jian, who are difficult to understand because of their young age, but they are also brave and knowledgeable. When they return to Beijing safely, I will definitely reward them heavily!"

Zhang Chaogui was busy congratulating the emperor and winning the loyal ministers and good generals, and even the young people were all interested in the royal family and serving the emperor wholeheartedly.

The Emperor smiled and waved his hand, not wanting to listen to these flattering words anymore. What he is most fortunate about now is that he promised his brother-in-law Qin Bai to let him go to Jinling to take care of the prince. If it weren't for Qin Bai's presence, the prince would have been in danger a long time ago. At the beginning, he had thought that it was somewhat inappropriate for Qin Bai to take Zhao Mo there, but Zhao Mo's background was pitiful and his character was not bad, since Qin Bai could be trusted, he didn't have much to say. But now, the emperor didn't think there was anything wrong with Zhao Mo at all, this kid was a hundred times more likable than his father!

The emperor once appreciated Zhao Shuo very much, and after Zhao Shuo was able to canonize the prince of Liao, he showed him that he had no ambitions, but just wanted the title of prince he deserved, and he was also gratified. But now looking at Zhao Shuo's words and deeds, his ambition is still clear to passers-by, and the emperor's heart is gradually a little cold.

He began to feel that it was not a good idea to leave such a person by the prince's side as an arm. However, Zhao Shuo himself is the son of the Liao Wang, and there will always be a time to inherit the Liao Wangfu in the future. On the Liaodong side, there is still a need for people to guard it, but there is nothing to worry about. Zhao Shuo, naturally there will be a place where he should go.

However, meritorious service is rewarded. The emperor began to think about what kind of reward he would give to those heroes. Huang Jincheng has been promoted to an official out of the ordinary, and it is not good to move again for the time being, so he will only be given some gold silk. In the future, when his term in Jinling expires, he will make some contributions, his resume will look better, and it will be easy to be promoted again.

However, Yongjiahou Qin Bai's side is a little difficult to appreciate. The emperor was also very troubled, his brother-in-law was old, and he had no intention of being an official, and his daily life was not luxurious, only giving land and property, and male and female slaves and maids, which was meaningless. What kind of things should be given to make Qin Bai happy?

The emperor remembered Qin Bai's two sons. He asked Zhang Chaogui, "How long has Qin Ping been a guard in the palace?"

Zhang Chaogui naturally knew: "The Qin guards entered the palace after the October Birthday Festival the year before last, and it has been more than a year. ”

One year and two or three months, this qualification is a bit short. Besides, when Qin Ping was a guard, he had already been promoted to a higher level, and if he wanted to be promoted again, he had to wait a little longer. Qin Bai's merits are not easy to explain to the outside public, for fear that it will affect the reputation of the crown prince, and it will also provoke the chatter of those imperial historians.

The emperor thought of Qin Bai's other son again: "How is Qin An? I heard that he is now an official in Datong, what is his official position, and how is his performance?"
