Chapter 63: The End of the Zhao Family

【62 Chinese Network】., to provide you with wonderful reading.

"Uncle, aunt. Shen Jiuniang smiled faintly and said slowly, "What can I do in the future with such a hard life? ”

"What are you talking nonsense at a young age?" Feng Shi heard this, and hurriedly said, "We old bones, we are still thinking about the days in ten or eight years, let alone you?"

Sheng Lanci also said with a pleasant face: "You kid, you have been wronged all these years! I only blamed us for our incompetence as elders before, and we tired you of being outcast." Now that we are back, what can we do without giving you the decision? What do you think, just say it! Although our family cannot be said to be calling for wind and rain and leaning towards the government and the opposition, it is somewhat decent, but it is not comparable to ordinary families!

These words sounded like they were encouraging Shen Jiuniang, but in fact, they were tactfully reminding her that her family was not an ordinary family, so she had to weigh what she said and did, and don't do anything insulting.

When Shen Jiuniang heard this, her eyes flashed, and she said, "What I thought before was that I would hide my name in Xiazhou and live a good life." First, so as not to be sad for each other after meeting, and secondly, it has fallen into the dust over the years, and after it spreads, it is not good for the family. I just listened to His Majesty, Da Qiao has been thinking of me all these years, and my uncle and aunt have also spent a lot of effort for me after what happened back then. If I really don't live anymore, I would be so sorry for you, but since I'm still alive, knowing your concerns, it's too unrighteous and unfilial to keep your face silent. ”

"So I thought, come and meet you and say peace to you. Look at how many of you are doing, and let you know how I am doing, and ...... in the future When I came from Ruru left and right, I also brought some softness, and I went back to find a clean place, and bought some industries, and just got by? I have been on the grassland before, so what is the difficulty in the future?"

When Feng Shi and Sheng Lanci heard this, they exchanged glances with each other, wondering if her words were sincere, and whether there was any extraneous meaning?

"Good boy, we can understand your feelings at this time. After the couple thought about it for a while, Feng said, "It's just that you are still young now, why do you want to say gloomy words? Moreover, a lonely woman goes alone to buy a property in a place where she is not familiar with her life, isn't it to attract people to covet it? It is better to be in Chang'an, you can take care of each other, and when you miss it, it is also convenient to meet." ”

"Auntie, I won't hide it from you if you say something like this. When Shen Jiuniang heard this, she burst into tears and said suddenly, "You say that I am like this, what face do I have to live in the world? Speaking of which, as early as when Ruru was around, I couldn't hold on." It was His Majesty who showed me the porcelain hairpin from Da Qiao's collection, saying that Da Qiao has traveled north and south of the river over the years, and at many critical junctures, the treasures that are even worth the city have been abandoned, but the worthless porcelain hairpin is carried everywhere!"

"I don't have siblings, and I always treat Big Joe as my own sister. ”

"After many years, I think she was still a half-old child. ”

"I thought that children were forgetful, and she didn't lack playmates. ”

"For such a long time, eighty percent have forgotten about me?"

"Who knows...... She treats me so affectionately!"

"For her heart. ”

"If I don't see her again in this life, I won't be willing to do it anyway!"

"Now that my wish has come true, all I want to think about is how to leave in a way that Da Qiao is not suspicious!"

She exhaled and said with some excitement, "I know that my eldest uncle and eldest aunt are asking me what my future plans are for! But please rest assured, I am not a person without self-knowledge! When I was innocent back then, Xu Shizi still looked down on me, not to mention that I am already a broken flower and a willow at this time?"

"The reason why I pay special attention to Xu Shizi and his wife is actually to distract Da Qiao's attention and let her know that I don't mean to kill myself!"

"You're really confused!" Sheng Lanci and his wife hurriedly said when they heard this, "After surviving such a hard day, they can finally keep the clouds open and see the moon, why do you have to give up?"

He also said, "We are talking to you today, and it is indeed related to the children of the Xu family." But it's not anything else, but the children of the Xu family have already married, their parents, you haven't been in contact, maybe you don't know, you don't like the backyard warbler Yanyan the most. The family style is so far three generations of single transmission, all of which are only one wife who guards the knotted hair. Especially the reason why Ying Jiang married the Xu family's child, there are still some things that are not good to pass on, so that the Xu family still feels sorry for this child. Since Ying Jiang entered the door of the Xu family, whenever the young couple had any disputes, the Xu family was beating Xu Baomo up and down to comfort Ying Jiang. Ying Jiang's father came forward to relieve his son-in-law's cheeks!"

"In this case, even if we help you, it will be in vain, and it will ruin your reputation even more!"

"The eldest aunt said the truth: the matter of marriage, the twisted melon is not sweet. ”

"The problem is that there isn't necessarily only one melon in the field. This is not sweet and there is the next one, you are young, and your appearance is good, earlier we didn't know your whereabouts, and the other was beyond the reach of the whip. Now that we're in front of us, we don't have a reason not to give you Zhang Luo!"

Feng Shi said this in one breath, took a sip of tea, and said softly, "So don't say anything you can't think of, we are not the kind of confused, good children come back, they don't know how to cherish it! As long as you live well, we as elders must spare no effort! After all, at our age, in addition to hoping that the younger generations will live well, what other thoughts do we have?"

What she said was also true, after all, Sheng Lanci and his wife had a son and a daughter, Sheng Weiyuan was still young, and his temperament was stubborn, and he had not returned to the couple since he came to Chang'an shortly after he handed him over to Xu Lianshan for training.

Now they are busy with Sheng Weiqiao's mother and son.

Shen Jiuniang has always been a problem for Sheng Weiqiao, and for the twenty-four filial parents, it is a matter of course to share their daughter's worries.

What's more, the couple's impression of Shen Jiuniang's niece is still okay, as long as the younger generation does not resent Sheng Weiqiao because of what happened in the past, and has any unfavorable actions for Sheng Weiqiao, they are very happy to seek a good future for Shen Jiuniang.

It's not a matter of contributing money and effort.

On this day, the uncle and nephew had a very heart-to-heart relationship, and Sheng Lanci and his wife finally believed that Shen Jiuniang would not intervene between Xu Baomo and Gongsun Yingjiang, but this niece had just returned from Ruru, and she had just had a miscarriage, and she had not yet sat down in confinement, and she was physically and mentally exhausted, so she really didn't have the heart to find a husband or something at this time.

Although the youth of women is precious at this time, especially Shen Jiuniang has been living in Ruru for many years, the grassland is bitter and cold, and she has suffered a lot of damage, to be honest, compared to the same age of Da Mu noblewoman, it looks at least three or five years old.

Even if the relationship with Sheng Weiqiao increases in weight, if it is delayed a little longer, it will be really difficult to find a good one.

However, Shen Jiuniang's current state of mind has not been adjusted yet, forcing her to marry someone immediately or something, but I am afraid that it will not be good.

The couple could only comfort themselves, that is, if they don't die in a catastrophe, there will be blessings...... Maybe Shen Jiuniang's bitterness will come soon?

After the results of this conversation were euphemistically conveyed to Sheng Weiqiao, Sheng Weiqiao breathed a sigh of relief, and received Rong Mianhe's reply that Old Madam Qin was the culprit who caused the tragedy of Gaomi Palace: Old Madam Qin was extremely evil and should have been given death, but in the face of the late Empress Dowager Zhao, she was pardoned for her capital crime, cut off her life, and was demoted to a concubine.

His two sons and one daughter, Empress Dowager Zhao, as the biological mother of Rong Sleeping Crane, is no longer alive, of course, she will not be affected again.

But the two sons, Zhao Shi and Zhao Xuan, were inevitably implicated: after Zhao Shi left the Northern Xinjiang Army and entered the court, because of his sensibility and interest, coupled with his earlier support for Rong Sleeping Crane, he directly entered the Yushitai as a doctor of the imperial history and was responsible for supervising hundreds of officials.

This errand was previously owned by Meng Jiayan, a disciple of the Meng family, and after the change in Chang'an, the people in the four rooms of the Meng family, except for the four rooms, were killed and injured.

Meng Jiayan, as one of the more outstanding children of Meng's grandchildren, received key attention. It was the first target to be killed after the Wu'anbo Mansion was breached.

After his death, the Emperor Taishang, who was still the king of Gaomi, immediately appointed his own people to this position.

But later, Meng Guiyu recaptured Chang'an, and even the Emperor Taishang became a rebel king, not to mention others, and the position of the imperial doctor fell into the hands of the Meng family again.

followed by Zhao Shi, with the support of Rong Sleeping Crane, squeezed out Meng Guiyu's people and took charge of Yushitai.

To be honest, Rong Sleeping Crane really wanted Zhao Shi to do this errand before.

Because the power of supervising hundreds of officials is great, there is an unwritten rule in the dynasty, which is the only way for the prime minister, that is, the Hanlin Academy and the Yushitai.

Although Zhao Shi is not good at leading troops to fight, he has been born in hairpins for generations, and he has been exposed to it since he was a child, but he is very good at handling government affairs, especially the balance of the court. Otherwise, he would not have only known the surface of the marching formation, but under the pressure of Meng and Meng Boqin, he has been a Huaihua general in northern Xinjiang for decades.

His kinship with Rong Sleeping Crane, as well as his earlier investment in Rong Sleeping Crane, also determined that he would not dare to deal with or report after discovering the illegal acts of officials.

According to this uncle's ability, merit, qualifications, and kinship, Rong Sleeping Crane wanted to use him as a candidate for prime minister in the future.

However, who let Old Madam Qin die?

Zhao Shi was demoted eighteen levels in a row, and was directly demoted to other places to be a county magistrate, with his age, if there is no accident, this life is almost like this; Zhao Shi is even more miserable, because Zhao Shi has clearly stood in line for Rong Sleeping Crane, and when he was in Northern Xinjiang, he also personally entertained Rong Sleeping Crane and his wife, Rong Sleeping Crane is among the two uncles, and he has more feelings for this uncle, so he still left him an official position.

In contrast, the little uncle Zhao Xuan, who had not had much contact, was demoted to the bottom and was demoted to the common people like Mrs. Qin.

But in fact, Zhao Xuan is not very wronged, after all, when the old lady Qin deliberately let Rong Mianhe be taken away before, Zhao Shi was in northern Xinjiang, and it was understandable that he didn't know what his mother did, but Zhao Xuan was in Chang'an, in front of the old lady. He didn't know that it was impossible, or even that he carried it out.

"With His Majesty's character, this time he just demoted the official and did not give him death, which is already extraordinarily gracious. After receiving the holy decree that arrived immediately after the arrival of the family letter, Zhao Shi knelt down and thanked him, and finally said to his family with a pale face, "What to say and do next, you should know it in your own hearts! Don't do anything to cause disaster to my Zhao family, understand?!"

But Zhao Shi knew in his heart that the reason why Rong Sleeping Crane did not kill anyone in the Zhao family, although part of the reason was for the queen of Zhao, the main reason was to torture the old lady Qin: the old lady is already this age, even if she has been pampered, how many years can she live?

Over the years, she has done a lot of things that are out of conscience, and has designed many people who deserve or are innocent, in the final analysis, for the glory and prominence of the Zhao family.

And Rong Sleeping Crane's holy decree this time did not take the lives of the Zhao family, but let her see with her own eyes that all her plans and lifelong hopes were destroyed.

In her lifetime, the Zhao family will never have a chance to rise again.

Even after she can imagine it, it will be difficult for the Zhao family to regain the demeanor of generations of hairpins.

After all, Rong Jue, the crown prince of Rong Sleeping Crane, has a biological mother of Sheng Weiqiao, the daughter of the Sheng family, and also has a grudge against her.

How can a family that was rejected by the emperors of the two dynasties not be down?!

And with Da Mu's vast land and resources, there are outstanding people, one subject every three years, recruiting talents from all over the world, even when it comes to Rong Sleeping Crane's grandson, the royal family has forgotten about it, and the Zhao family wants to revive the family's reputation, how difficult should it be?

It took several generations of hard work and conscientious work of the Zhao family to get to where they are today, but because of Mrs. Qin's painstaking calculations, they were once scattered.

The old lady of the Zhao family has long passed away, and now Zhao Shi, who is standing on the top of the door, knows that his mother's starting point is for the consideration of the Zhao family, so he can't bear to be harsh, and even comforts a few words.

But Old Madam Qin herself couldn't withstand such a blow.

She fell ill the same day she received the order.

If it weren't for the fear that she would be perceived as resentful and annoy Rong Sleeping Crane more and more, she would probably have killed herself that night.

Despite this, the older woman suffered for more than half a month, and before she arrived at the county seat where Zhao Shi took office, she swallowed her last breath full of remorse and unwillingness.

This incident caused a great sensation in Chang'an, Emperor Zhenqing's experience is very legendary in the eyes of the world, and the upheaval of his childhood turned out to be due to the joint calculation of his grandmother and grandmother, and the original intention of these two old people is for the sake of their children, such a bizarre and tortuous internal story, I don't dare to write like this.

Even if the grandchildren of the Zhao family resigned as quickly as possible and left Chang'an with their parents and elders respectively, the relevant discussions were also raised, and there was no cooling at all.

At this time, Li Shengxu hid from the eldest princess of Wuyang and went to the palace gate to ask to see Sheng Weiqiao.
