Chapter 021: The Truth

Aunt next door?

The eldest princess's baby daughter Qi Ling?

Gu Jialuo's good-looking phoenix eyes widened slightly, and she deliberately made a surprised expression, and soon she seemed to think of something, 'ah', and muttered: "I said, I was a little suspicious in the past, that aunt is the only daughter of the eldest princess, how can she not even have a seal?" ”

In the practice of the Great Qi Dynasty, the daughters of princesses are generally not sealed, but the eldest daughter of the Yuan Dynasty or the favored princess are exceptions. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

Like the famous eldest princess of Pingyang in the capital, Gaozu raised her as a daughter, and when she made a mistake, she was only sent to Tiejian Nunnery to live for a while.

After coming out, he still married into the Yuwang Mansion in a beautiful manner, and gave birth to children smoothly and lived sweetly with her husband.

When his daughter was born, Gaozu was still alive, and as soon as Pingyang came out of confinement, he took his daughter to the palace to sell cuteness with the emperor's brother, which made the emperor very happy, and generously sealed the title of the little girl and the county lord, that is, the later Yongjia county lord.

This is definitely a reward beyond the standard.

And the eldest princess of Ping'an of the Qi family is even more favored than Pingyang, she is the most beloved daughter of Grandpa Gao and Empress Zhenlie.

It's just that Ping'an is not very angry, and after marrying into the Qi family, he has not been pregnant for several years, so he had to let his uncle's cousin be a concubine.

Later, it was easy to give birth to her eldest son Qi Lingyuan, but she suffered some hardships and injured her body when she gave birth, until she was in her thirties, she became pregnant again, and gave birth to her daughter Qi Lingyuan a few months later.

At that time, Gaozu died, and the first emperor ascended the throne.

It doesn't matter, the first emperor is the eldest princess's brother, and he loves her very much.

Seeing that she had a daughter so easily, she was happy for her, and she was distressed for her, so with a wave of her hand, she also made her little nephew's daughter a county lord.

"This is still twenty years ago, my aunt has just been engaged, but she has not officially completed her marriage, in the autumn, the first emperor went to the Xishan enclosure to hunt, and the magnates of the capital also followed,"

Qi Jinzhi said slowly, "The eldest princess thought that her aunt was about to get married, and she couldn't be as relaxed as she is now, so she took her out to have a good time while her aunt hadn't officially left the cabinet......"

The people of Daqi are open, and the requirements for women are not strict, such as horseback riding, hunting, juju, polo and other activities, which are very popular among the nobles in the capital.

The emperor took the magnates out of Beijing to hunt, and many female dependents accompanied him, and the eldest princess felt sorry for her daughter, so she brought Qi Ling, who was supposed to stay in Beijing to be married.

As a result, trouble broke out.

Qi Lingfei is the only daughter of the eldest princess, and her father is the Marquis of Pingxi, who has a heavy army (at that time, the title of the Qi family was on the head of the heir of the Eastern Mansion), and she is a pampered and noble person.

To say that he is not afraid of trespassing, when Qi Ling's concubine was not out of the cabinet, she lived a more beautiful life than some princesses in the palace.

There was a group of little noblewomen around her to curry favor, even though her temperament became more and more arrogant, basically except for her emperor's uncle, the princess and the old lady, and the horse father, Qi Ling looked down on no one.

Even the prince and queen at that time, Qi Lingfei didn't pay attention to it.

Not to mention some idle clans and down-and-out vassal kings.

"The former king of Annam happened to go to the capital to congratulate the first emperor on his holy birthday, and the first emperor saw that he was 'honest' and thought that his ancestors and fathers were honest and responsible people, so he deliberately left him to go hunting in Xishan together,"

Qi Jinzhi mentioned this period of royal and Qi family secrets, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, it was obvious that he didn't like Qi Lingyu, an arrogant and domineering aunt from the bottom of his heart.

"Unexpectedly, my aunt and a noble girl and noble son looked at the former King of Annan unpleasantly and wanted to play tricks on him. It just so happened that the imperial guards captured a tiger alive, and my aunt and they wereβ€”"

Qi Lingyu didn't do much, they ran to the stupid fat man (that is, the former king of Annan) first, deliberately said some interesting things about the paddock, and led the stupid fat man to squeeze in front to watch the tigers.

Then say hello to the guards who are responsible for taking care of the injured tiger, and when the first emperor has finished 'reviewing' the tiger, and when the guards escort the tiger down, let the tiger rush to the stupid fat man and scare him.

The guards didn't dare to agree, but they couldn't resist the coercion and temptation of Qi Ling's group of bear children.

The guards saw that these people were all weighty people, and the first one was the daughter of Ping'an, the first shrew in Beijing, so he hesitated again and again, but he still responded.

After a while, the guards carried the tiger to the first emperor, and the first emperor was very happy, he was past the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, although he could still get on the horse and bend the bow, but if he wanted to shoot such a tiger, it would take some effort.

After looking around the tiger, the first emperor said yes again and again, generously rewarded the warrior who shot the tiger, and then waved his hand and motioned to carry the beast down.

The former King of Annan was coaxed by Qi Ling's concubines, with a silly smile on his big round and fat face, he squeezed through the crowd and simply ran to the first emperor to watch the tiger at close range.

When the first emperor saw that he was 'honest', he didn't care about his arrogance, and specially instructed the guards to be optimistic about King Annan.

After speaking, the first emperor patted the head of the former king of Annan, turned around and walked towards the throne.

The guards raised the tiger, but they did not immediately carry out the plan of Qi Lingyu and the others, what are you kidding, the emperor has not gone far, in case of an accident, they have nine heads are not enough to cut off.

The guards walked out slowly, and the former King of Annan followed curiously.

At this moment, the seriously injured tiger, who had been angry a moment ago, suddenly moved for some reason, rolled hard, and broke away from the hands of the guards.

Everyone was amazed and couldn't dodge.

The tiger limped, but his movements were strangely agile, and he pounced straight on the nearest human, the former king of Annan, who had already been frightened.

Whoa, whoa...... And then, there was no then!

"Uncle, you, do you mean that the first king of Annan did not die to save the driver, but, butβ€”" died in an accident, or a prank?

Gu Jialuo read many history books of Daqi in later generations, but about this paragraph, the history books only hastily mentioned a few strokes, and did not explain in detail what happened in the paddock.

It turns out that this is what the truth is.

Qi Jinzhi nodded, pouting with a mocking sneer: "What can the first emperor do?" Could it be that after telling the people of the world that he was said to be the king of the county and the hero of two generations, he was actually killed by his niece and daughter? ”

What's more, the first emperor felt sorry for his sister and niece and daughter, and wanted to try his best to protect Qi Ling's concubine.

In the end, it was simply announced that in order to save the emperor, the former king of Annam was unfortunately injured by a violent tiger, and the injury was too serious and he died.

Gu Jialuo was speechless and choked.

After being silent for a long time, he said slowly: "So, my aunt lost the title of county lord?" ”

Qi Jinzhi bowed his head: "The words of the first emperor can only deceive the Annan palace in the southwest, in Beijing, that day in the paddock, how many pairs of eyes have seen it, and they have heard the wind afterwards, and the first emperor must have something to say." ”

The first emperor originally thought very well, but it was just a seal, but he erased it now, and when the turmoil subsided, he would seal another one.

The eldest princess probably thinks the same way, and it is rare to cooperate with the 'reason'.

However, the world is impermanent, within a few months, the first emperor fell ill, the condition became more and more serious, the crown prince and several princes fought for the throne, and the eldest princess also joined the battle group, forgetting about Qi Ling's concubine for the time being.

Two years later, the first emperor died, and the eldest princess was not in harmony with the eldest princess, and the title of county lord of Qi Lingfei could never be taken back.

In addition, Qi Juma passed away, the title of the Qi family changed hands, and the eldest princess lost power, Qi Lingfei reined in all her temper and obediently became a 'little daughter-in-law' in the Yang family.

After a past story, the husband and wife were silent.

After a long time, Gu Jialuo asked tentatively: "Uncle, you just said that the matter of the enclosure back then was hidden from the Annan Palace?" ”

Qi Jinzhi said: "Well, the former King of Annan was coaxed by his aunt, got rid of the entourage of the palace, and ran to see the excitement alone. Afterwards, the people of the palace came to find it. And at that time, the princess and princess of Annam were in the southwest, and they should not know. ”

Annan is far away, and several kings of Annan are all 'silly' people, and they don't have any news network in Beijing. At least not on the surface.

Gu Jialuo reminded: "What if they know? Otherwise, why would that person do all this now? ”

Qi Jin was stunned, the Annan Mansion has never been valued by the people in the capital, and Xiao Rugui is a real fool, neither Qi Lingxian nor Qi Jinzhi took him seriously.

If it weren't for what he saw and heard with his own eyes and ears this time, Qi Jinzhi would not have doubted Xiao Rugui.

"Hiss~~" Qi Jinzhi took a breath of cold air.

Yes, the Annan Palace's duty has been divided for decades, but it has begun to toss in the last seven or eight years. is colluding with Liang Rebellion, raising private soldiers, and pretending to be robbers to rob court officials and wealthy businessmen, no matter which one it is, it seems that there is some blood feud with the imperial court.

Moreover, Xiao Rugui is a fool, but the old concubines, concubines, and princesses in the palace are all normal human beings. Their maiden families are also from the southwest, and their family power is not weak.

If these women knew the truth of the year......

Qi Jinzhi's expression became solemn.

Originally, in his plan, he planned to go to Annan tomorrow and the day after tomorrow to ask Xiao Rugui, the county king, to say goodbye.

Although Xiao Rugui is not the king of Yunnan, he is the highest-ranking person in the southwest region, and he is a fool who has no threat, even if Qi Jinzhi goes, no one will impeach him for befriending the vassal king.

But now, having guessed a certain truth, Qi Jinzhi is a little uncertain.

"Arrow, you have a point, we have to be vigilant,"

Qi Jinzhi suddenly found that in the past ten years, they had actually looked away, and the Annan Royal Mansion was by no means as wasteful and non-aggressive as it appeared.

Perhaps when they were inadvertent, the spies of the Annan Palace's palace had already lurked in the capital, and even infiltrated the four major princes' mansions.

"The letter of worship sent by the Annan Palace, you personally wrote a reply letter, and politely refused." Qi Jinzhi seriously explained to Gu Jialuo.

Gu Jialuo's reaction was not slow, and he immediately understood, "What the uncle said is that the king of Annan is a vassal king, and you are an official of the imperial court, so you must avoid suspicion." I will also order someone to guard it well, and it is strictly forbidden to mix in anyone of unknown origin. ”

Qi Jinzhi's eyes were full of approval, and he added: "When you have time, write a letter to your father-in-law to report your safety." We are far away, but we must not forget our elders. ”

The Gu family is in charge of the soldiers, and it is also the focus of the Annan Palace.

Gu Jialuo understands in seconds, yes, it's okay now, and then there will be enough for the two of them to be busy.
