Chapter 237: Follow-up

"The body of the eldest princess was dragged to the West Mountain, and I heard-"

Hearing Huaizhu's sudden pause, the girl standing behind the window turned her head slightly, and Huaizhu immediately lowered her voice a little and said: "I heard that the executioner's manpower was too big, and when he dragged it away, the bones of his neck were broken, and the person who carried the corpse was unlucky, so he hastily buried a layer of soil, and when our people went, the corpse had been partially taken away by wild dogs." ”

The autumn rain outside the window was still dripping, Gu Yanling didn't listen to it disgusting like Libi and Jiang Zhu, and his expression didn't fluctuate in the slightest, as if he had just heard something very ordinary.

The raindrops hit the long banana leaves, and there was a crackling sound, Gu Yanling quietly looked at the raindrops connected in a line outside the window, and occasionally a wet swallow flew by, flying into the swallow's nest under the eaves to hide from the rain.

Royal Ben is ruthless.

What's more, Zhao Mao is really not a good person.

But this alone can also be seen that Emperor Jianheng's ruthlessness and ruthlessness have surpassed the first emperor, if they are a step slower this time, if Xiao Yi fails to detect the plan of Changchun Palace, then what should be the situation now?

Gu Yanling didn't dare to think about it, let alone think about it.

Cheng Guifei's mother and son are like two poisonous snakes lying in the dark grass, spitting out letters at any time, waiting for an opportunity to bite their fatal point.

Only by taking the initiative can they settle down.

……

In this rainy day in a row, once proudly standing in the imperial city, the flowery Zhaomao eldest princess's mansion was raided cleanly, when the emperor received the list of courtiers to confiscate, saw the capital, Nanjing, Suzhou many industries, and countless rare treasures, the heart of both hatred and joy, hate is that too many relatives around him are so greedy and do not know how to restrain, but the joy is that this time the confiscated things are enough to be worth one-third of the treasury, which is now in turmoil and chaos, it will be a sudden wealth.

On the day of the inventory of wealth, cleaning up and eradicating the remnants is also a more important task, and in just three days, everyone who has the slightest relationship with the eldest princess of Zhaomao has been washed clean with blood. Even the elder of the dynasty, Xu Ge Lao Xu Yan, who is very likely to succeed Yan Ge Lao and become the second assistant in the future, was also found to have an inextricable relationship with the eldest princess Zhaomao, and even when the eldest princess Zhaomao wanted to match the county lord of Pingyi and the eldest grandson of the emperor, she ordered someone to go to the Xu Mansion secretly as soon as possible.

The relationship between this is naturally self-evident.

When he got the news, Jin Yiwei was ordered to go to Xu Mansion to arrest him, Xu was afraid of suffering from Zhao Prison, Xu Ge and his wife had already hung the beam of the house when the person who was arrested, and when Jin Yiwei rushed to go, both of them were hard.

But this can not atone for their sins, under the thunderous anger of the emperor, the couple were crushed and scattered, connecting the nine clans, just like this, the Xu Mansion that was the envy of everyone in the past was defeated, and when it was about to reach the top, it ended up with a bloody end, and the killing of that night was almost able to pass through the closed door of the mansion, and the bloody breath was spilled through the seal of the official family.

At a time when everyone in the court was in danger, the county lord of Pingyi, who had been favored by the first emperor's love house and Wuzhi, and was granted the surname of the country, the only bloodline of the eldest princess Zhaomao, and the niece of Emperor Jianheng today, was not preserved in this struggle.

When the trial of the eldest princess Zhaomao was concluded and the dust gradually settled, the county lord of Pingyi suddenly had a serious illness, but in three days, he was tortured and skinny, without the appearance of a human being, and finally vomited blood and died.

Since the person died, he naturally could not enter the royal gate, so the young county lord and his sinful mother were hastily buried, and his marriage to the grandson of the eldest princess of Changping also fell through.

In this retribution, Pingyi's death was strange, but he was not wronged.

Wildfires burn inexhaustibly, and spring breezes blow and regenerate.

How could the thoughtful Emperor Jianheng not know this, if he was truly benevolent, and watched this niece join the Changping Eldest Princess's Mansion in the future, and gain new power because of this paper marriage, how could he guarantee that she would not avenge her mother in the future?

He can't block it with his own life, let alone the future of Daxing.

Since this is the case, he can only grieve his niece, who has not yet come out of the cabinet.

Cao Mengde was right back then, I'd rather be responsible for others than for others.

In this case, it is the best way for the county lord of Pingyi to die of a "vicious disease", which can not only calm his heart, but also do not require him to rebel against the holy will of the marriage.

Until Zhaomao's party was completely eradicated, only one person was preserved, which almost shocked everyone.

This person is not an outsider, it is the granddaughter of the sinner Xu Yan, and the last bloodline of the Xu family, Xu Chengjun.

On the eve of his grandfather and grandmother leading the neck to Liang, and on the eve of the destruction of the clansmen, he was still accompanied by the princess, but Xu Chengjun, who stayed in the palace, had a premonition, only wore light clothes and makeup, and personally wrote a letter of guilt and handed it to the emperor, kneeling down to ask for surrender.

When the book of sin was handed over to Emperor Jianheng, Emperor Jianheng after a glance could not help but praise, the words in the book were sincere, but he understood the righteousness, quite a gentleman's style, and what made the emperor even more happy was that Xu Chengjun handed in several green words written by himself in order to atone for his sins.

What made Emperor Jianheng even more shocked was that although this green word was written by a woman, it was not rigid at all, but the rhetoric was gorgeous and atmospheric, and the words revealed a magnificent meaning, which was more magnanimous than that written by Yan Weizhang and other old ministers.

Emperor Jianheng almost immediately issued an order, ordering Feng Wei to carefully preserve all the green words, and when he personally went to Wuzhen Temple to perform the ceremony of Zhai Jiao on the winter solstice, he reported to the Emperor of Heaven.

Because of Xu Chengjun's talent, Emperor Jianheng couldn't bear to get rid of Xu Chengjun after all, and accepted him as a female official, responsible for sacrificing the green words of Zhai Jiao.

And in the blink of an eye, Daxing ushered in two major events, one is the wedding of the emperor's grandson Xiao Yi and Gu Ge's granddaughter has been set on April 13 of the spring of the next year, and the other is undoubtedly the situation in Liaodong, on July 19, the Tatar leader Duoge led his subordinates to attack the border of Liaodong, Huining General Jinglong was besieged for seven days, personally fighting, until the eighth day, the city gate was opened, Jinglong led the neck martyrdom, this shocked the imperial court, so it was ordered, set on October 20, Guo Shenzong, the younger brother of the Empress Dowager Guo's mother, led the Xiong soldiers of Daxing to Liaodong, and was ordered to quell the Dogge rebellion。

This incident indicates that the war between Daxing and Tatar has officially begun, and the power of the Guo clan led by the Empress Dowager Guo will climb to a peak that no one can compare with Guo Shenzong.

At the same time, due to Xu Yan's death, the position of Guozi Priest was vacant, and under the recommendation of Zhang Huaizong, the first assistant, Gu Zhengde officially took over this position, perhaps because under the infinite scenery of the Guo family, this matter became a little insignificant, and it did not win the attention of others.

And this will also change the future trajectory of the Gu family.
