First of all, shortly after the crown prince Yuan Xun returned to Beijing, he proposed to the Emperor of Great Qi to resign from the throne and resign to the vassal king. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

This incident caused an uproar in the court and in Beijing.

Something that has never been done before, all parties have not suppressed it if they want to.

For a while, the pot exploded between the government and the opposition.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Lingjiang, the lord of Chun'an County, stabbed to death Hou Cao Yi in the palace with a short blade at the Mid-Autumn Night Banquet in the palace.

"Why are you all here?"

Zheng Wei received the news and rushed back from the Zhongshu Provincial Government Affairs Hall, looking at Zheng Sui and his wife and Jiuniang Zheng Qian who appeared in the Zheng Mansion with a serious face, and finally, his eyes stayed on Huan Yu, and the tone of his voice was a little more reproachful, "I didn't send you a letter, you don't need to come over." ”

As soon as the words fell, without waiting for Zheng Sui and Huan Yu to reply, Jiuniang Zheng Qian hurriedly said: "Wulang, I want to see Ah Jiang." ”

"No, I can't. Zheng Wei vetoed it, and after Xiao Lingjiang stabbed Cao Yi to death, he has been detained in the Imperial Governor's Office.

"Then put me in, I'll go in with her, and I'm going to die together with our mother and daughter. ”

"Nonsense,"

Zheng Wei scolded, seeing that Zheng Qian was emotional, his eyes were red, and then he asked, "If you die, what will you do?"

As soon as he heard Zheng Wei mention his son, Zheng Qiandeng shrank down, with a pair of beautiful eyes, tears fell into tears, and soon burst into tears, his expression was even more cowardly, and he was sad when he whimpered.

When Zheng Wei saw it, he sighed lightly in his heart, "Shi Niang, you take Jiu Niang down first, I have something to say to Uncle Qi." ”

"Yui. Zheng Sui responded and stepped forward to help Jiuniang Zheng Qian.

She knew that Huan Yu and her fifth brother Zheng Wei must have something important and did not dare to delay.

This time she came to Jiankang because she was in a hurry, after receiving the letter from the fifth brother, for more than half a month, there was no progress in the matter, and Huan Yu was worried that her daughter was frightened, after all, at that night banquet, her daughter Lingshan had been following Xiao Lingjiang and witnessed everything with her own eyes.

I was stunned.

Moreover, after not seeing Xiao Lingjiang and learning that she was locked up, no matter how much she persuaded her, Huan Lingshan was reluctant to leave Beijing.

There was a letter from Huan Gu, saying that Jiuniang received the news, and had set off to Jiankang, all of which she and Huan Yu ventured out, but fortunately passed through Nanling, and met Jiuniang Zheng Qian and his party, so they went together.

Out of the house, seeing Huan Yu, who had quietly retreated to the porch, Zheng Sui glanced at him and motioned him to enter, before helping Jiuniang out of Ningxian Hall and back to Weihua Garden, where their sisters had lived.

Disaster in disguise.

Huan Yu looked at the backs of the two sisters Zheng Sui, and such a sentence suddenly welled up in his heart.

After all, he didn't stop long, turned around and went in.

Through the open window, the autumn wind blowing in was wrapped in a chill, and the purple clothes on Zheng Wei's body never took off.

The person has knelt firmly on the couch at the top, looking out the window at the sycamore leaves falling.

Although he didn't show half of his emotions, Huan Yu still found that the nasolabial folds on Zheng Wei's face were much deeper than the last time the two of them met.

"You choose a family affair for Jiu Niang, and let her remarry as soon as possible. Huan Yu knelt down and said loudly.

Zheng Wei narrowed his eyes slightly, "If I can, I can book Jiu Niang's family affairs now." "The Zheng family has thousands of guests and countless in-laws, so it is too easy to order a family affair for Jiuniang.

Seeing Zheng Wei's expression, Huan Yu was shocked, "Is it difficult to ......"

The following words were not spoken, but the two only looked at each other, and there was no need to say anything more.

Huan Yu immediately understood, and hurriedly suppressed the panic in his heart, "I thought that Yuan Ziju would retreat in the face of difficulties and completely let go, but I didn't expect that he would have such courage and courage." ”

Last time, he said in private that Yuan Ziju used all his life and all his scheming in the matter of Jiuniang on this matter.

But this time, he and Zheng Wei understood it, he didn't use calculations anymore, let alone retreat, he really didn't want the position of the prince.

He is bound to win Jiuniang.

Therefore, when he proposed his resignation, he would say: He will not be the prince, after he and the Wang family reconciled, the new crown princess can still be the daughter of the Wang family, and in a way, calm the anger of the Wang family.

"Don't talk about you, even I didn't expect it, if I expected, as soon as Jiuniang's filial piety period expires, I will choose a husband for her. ”

"And how are you going to solve it?"

"Chun'an's child is too extreme, she is only ten years old, if she is older, it is estimated that she will be another Xiao Balang, who will dare to do anything. As long as Zheng Wei thought of this, he couldn't sleep, he had heard Zheng Sui mention Xiao Lingjiang's abnormality before, but he thought that he was just a girl, and his personality could be weird, so he didn't pay attention to it at all.

I didn't expect it to cause today's disaster.

At this point, Huan Yu also understood that Zheng Wei was unwilling to save the child.

Murder pays for life, and it is justified.

But avenging his father is also in line with filial piety.

If this incident happened to others, it would be at most a case of revenge for his father, from the perspective of filial piety, the Imperial Lieutenant Office could still give a lenient sentence, but it just happened to Xiao Lingjiang, it was not just a vendetta case, in the eyes of the Emperor of Great Qi and the supporters of the new dynasty, it became a rebellion.

There is a line between the two, but there is a world of difference.

The Zheng family does not protect Xiao Lingjiang, which means that it represents the position of the Zheng family and supports the new dynasty.

Zheng Wei recalled that the night it happened.

In the Hanyuan Palace, the Holy Yuan Gang kept him behind and put him in his heart.

“…… I can pardon the sins of the county lord of Chun'an, and even commend her as a filial daughter, whether her brother is the child of a slave or not, I can make him the vassal king and protect her glory for generations. ”

“…… Wang Zhongshu has reached the age of the sixtieth year, and when he was sick on the bed for a long time, his resignation letter has been handed over three times, and the candidate to replace him, Shilinzhong, if you talk about people's hope, it is none other than Wulang, and I also belong to Wulang. ”

“…… Wild slaves, guest slaves are my sons, and they are the future of Daqi, and the beloved sons of parents are calculated for the long and short, I hope you can understand. ”

Zheng Wei only felt cold at that time.

For Xiao Lingjiang and Xulang, Xu Zhi was honored, and he and the Zheng family were tempted to a high position.

Zhongshu supervisor, the governor of Zhongshu Province, the second rank, the power to hold the secret, my grandfather came to this point, it took a full thirty years, seventy years ago, to hold this authority.

He was only in his early thirties, and the temptation was not insignificant.

For the sake of fame and profit, brothers are against the wall, and relatives and friends are against the purpose, and the examples are too numerous to mention.

Moreover, on the same day, Yuan Xun asked himself to be pushed to the position of prince, and the saint talked to him, and hinted to him: I hope to calm this turmoil with the death of Jiuniang.

He didn't let up.

Who wouldn't have thought that Xiao Lingjiang bumped into it by himself.

Give people a handle.

Therefore, since Xiao ordered Jiang to be locked up in the Imperial Governor's Office, he had not gone to see the child. I just asked the court lieutenant to not let that kid suffer in it for the time being.
