138 Unmasking in person
The eight thorns he bought have been on hunger strike for a day, but he hasn't eaten any rice, and he refuses to take the medicine, so he has only one condition, and that is to see Xu Miaoyi.
He has a belly to say to Xu Miaoyi! What about the trust between people, if you turn your face, you will turn your face, I am tired and tired to carry you all the way, and you knock me out with a stone?
Xu Da told his daughter about it as calmly as possible, and her daughter disappeared for a month with the prince of Beiyuan, which was related to her daughter's reputation, and this matter was not made public, and only a few people knew. Although the daughter and the son are in a hostile position, and the daughter also captured this person alive, which can be regarded as making up for the merits, but the lonely man and widow inevitably make people think about it.
Xu Miaoyi was still in the mood to joke: "Oh, it turns out that I still have the ability to make people think about it." Does Father need me to see him? "After all, Emperor Hongwu has repeatedly ordered to pay courtesy to buy the eight thorns. If he returns to Beijing and sees Xiao Ba, who is half starved to death, Xu Da may not be able to escape the blame.
Seeing that his daughter didn't take Xiaoba seriously, Xu Da fell to the ground with a stone in his heart, "The son of the world is despicable, I want to kidnap you to go to Beiyuan, the wolf son is ambitious, as a father, how can I bear him so presumptuous?" King Yan and Mao Xiang went to feed the food in person to save his life. ”
Jinyiwei has good means, even rats can be fed, let alone food. Xiaoba was forced to be fed like a crammed duck, and he was in pain, so he honestly raised his chopsticks to eat, and when he returned to the capital, he recovered his spirits, but the wound on the back of his head left a scar forever.
When he returned to Beijing this time, Xiaoba was placed under house arrest in the palace and was not allowed to leave the palace. Xiaobachi, who lost his freedom, faced the autumn wind and autumn rain all day long, and the rain hit the plantains, and he was so stuffy that he was about to grow mushrooms.
Xiaolou had the east wind last night, and the eight thorns he bought were nested on the recliner in front of the court, listening to the autumn wind and falling asleep, the dream was very chaotic, one would be the carefree time when the emperor and grandson were in the capital, and the other would be Xu Da's siege of the city, he followed his father and queen mother all the way to the panic, and then he was scattered by the warring army, and the battlefield shouted and killed, he panicked, and only knew how to run forward.
The road was rough, he kept falling, getting up, and when he was exhausted, a man grabbed a stone and struck him on the back of the head, shouting, "Be honest! You are my captive! ”
Hey, that's so familiar?
In a trance, Xiaoba saw Xu Miaoyi's face, it was still so fierce, she reached out and grabbed her collar, and lifted him up with one hand like this!
"Miaoyi, I believe in you so much, I have carried you for so long, but you lied to me-"
Zhu Shouqian carried Xiaoba and dragged Xiaoba all the way to the courtyard, there was a bunch of dead leaves that the palace maids had just swept up next to the courtyard flower garden, Zhu Shouqian let go and threw Xiaoba into the fallen leaves.
Xiao Ba rolled in the fallen leaves, waking up like a dream, he rubbed his eyes, Xu Miaoyi in the dream coincided with Zhu Shouqian in reality, "I didn't think it before, but now I find that your cousins and sisters are quite similar." ”
Zhu Shouqian said coldly: "Don't hit my cousin's idea." ”
Seeing Zhu Shouqian's appearance of asking for guilt, Xiao Ba's mind turned quickly and said, "Brother Shouqian, you only know one thing, but you don't know the other." That night, someone killed my guards, drugged them in wine, and I escaped with your cousin's cooperation. The mastermind behind this case has not yet been revealed, so don't be in a hurry to beat me. ”
Xiaoba avoided the important and changed the topic.
Zhu Shouqian said angrily: "All of you are not good things! ”
Hachi sighed: "That's right, I'm a bastard, but there are people who are more bastards than me, and I'm willing to work with you to find out those who are more bastards." ”
Zhu Shouqian said coldly: "There is a fire in the restaurant, all traces are gone, even the brocade guards are helpless, you can't protect yourself, what can you find out." ”
Xiaoba said gloomily: "Yes, it's another headless case, just like your grandfather's rebellion back then." ”
Zhu Shouqian lifted Xiaoba's collar again, pressed him to the ground, and said sharply: "Don't test my patience again." ”
Xiaoba didn't struggle, spread out his hands and feet, and pressed the dead leaves rustling, "Yo, I haven't seen you for a month, King Jingjiang's temper has risen, could it be that you have had some adventures recently?" Let's hear it, I'm under house arrest in the deep palace and can't enter or leave, and I'm in a panic. ”
Speaking of the word adventure, Zhu Shouqian's pupils shrank suddenly, blinked his eyes, and returned to his cold expression, "Don't think that you are a valuable hostage, no one dares to touch you." I have nothing but my cousin in this life, and if you dare to hurt her again, I will kill you. ”
Xiaoba was lying in the dead leaves, but his smile was brilliant and boundless, "Yes, the emperor said that he would treat me politely, if you kill me and anger the emperor, I am afraid that the end will be bleak." ”
Zhu Shouqian said: "The worst end is nothing more than the destruction of the future, the title is abolished, being a powerless and powerless concubine, I am the emperor's own nephew, the emperor will never kill me, give you a hostage to pay for your life." I bought the eight thorns, you have exhausted your calculations, treachery, everything is for the sake of interests, but people's hearts are complicated, there are always places you can't calculate, my cousin is innocent, don't involve her. ”
"Innocent? Who in the world is not innocent? Xiaoba sneered: "I'm innocent too!" I was born in the capital court, I have never done anything hurtful, I was captured by the enemy country to Jinling, I don't calculate, I don't resist, do I just eat and wait for death for the rest of my life? ”
"Don't say who is innocent, because innocence means misfortune, involuntarily, being changed by others. Oh, when it comes to innocence, who can compare to you, my grandfather is all gone, my parents are dead, and I feel bad about carrying so many heavy pasts. ”
Zhu Shouqian said: "Don't mess around, I don't need you to worry about my family affairs as an outsider, take care of your own first-I got the news today, your Northern Yuan court has changed dramatically, Pu Buhua rebelled, Emperor Xuanguang was injured, Empress Dowager Qi was terminally ill and about to die, and now the Northern Yuan court is controlled by your mother, Empress Quan, and——"
Zhu Shouqian paused and said, "Your little brother died before he was 100 years old, and the concubine who gave birth to the little prince was overly sad and crazy. ”
A bloody palace coup ended, Empress Quan was the biggest winner, and the mother-in-law, Empress Dowager Qi, who had been pressing on her head for many years, was betrayed by her henchman Pu Buhua, suffered a heavy blow, exhausted, and was unable to hold power again. The concubine who tried to compete for favor and love went crazy, and her son also died, and the crown prince of the Northern Yuan Dynasty could only buy it as a hostage in the Ming Dynasty.
No one would believe that the second son of the emperor died a normal death, and no one dared to question the cause of the prince's death. Empress Quan saved her son's life and status, and the situation in the Northern Yuan Dynasty was temporarily stabilized.
The eight thorns who bought it were silent for a moment, and sighed: "My mother still loves me, and if she keeps her position, she saves my life." ”
An eldest son who cannot inherit the throne means destruction.
Zhu Shouqian said: "Empress Dowager Qi wrote you a handwritten letter on the sickbed, and the messenger quickly sent it to the capital, and the emperor asked me to take you to meet the envoy. ”
"I was still wondering just now, I am not allowed to go out in the past few days, and no one from outside is allowed to come in to visit, but you came in today, it turned out to be ordered by the emperor." Hachi immediately got up from the pile of dead leaves, "Without further ado, let's go quickly, grandmother must have something important to say to me." ”
Xiao Ba's hair was still stained with two dead leaves, and his clothes were dusty, Zhu Shouqian stopped him, "Change your clothes and go again, lest the envoy mistakenly think that Da Ming is abusing you." ”
Now that Xiaoba has re-become the only prince of the Northern Yuan, his hostage value is still there, and Emperor Hongwu doesn't want to let go of this chess piece easily.
On the way to meet the envoy, Xiaoba secretly thought, maybe he can take this opportunity to break the deadlock of house arrest, Your Majesty, my grandmother is dying and can't go back to China to see the old man for the last time, you have to let me go to the temple to burn incense and pray for blessings.
Let's say that there was infighting in the house of the eight thorns who bought it, the coup d'état failed, and the blood flowed like a river. The Xu family in Zhanyuan, the capital of Wei Guogong, was not peaceful, and a fierce quarrel broke out between Xu Huizu, the prince of Wei, and Chen, the wife of the prince.
The cause is Xu Miaoyi, who returned home, after the national funeral, the Xu family is about to start her marriage again, especially Xu Da noticed that Zhu Di's eyes were wrong, the woman did not stay, the more trouble she left, and as soon as she went home, she planned to find a family affair for her daughter.
Chen is the eldest sister-in-law in the family, a first-class lady, and this task fell on her. But seeing the several lists that the Chen family put together, the son Xu Huizu was reluctant, "These people are too thin, how can they be worthy of the eldest daughter of our Xu family." The first lady of the Xu family got married, so you have to worry more about being a sister-in-law. ”
As early as last year, after Xu Miaoyi returned home, the Chen family began to handle the marriage of the sister-in-law, but the vision of the whole family was too high, and none of the young men carefully selected by the Chen family took a fancy to it, and the Chen family couldn't help but feel aggrieved, "I don't worry? It didn't take any effort for a serious princess to choose a horse. There is no gold and no one, no one is perfect, almost it, and those who pick and choose have not delayed the flowering period of the sister-in-law. ”
Xu Huizu's face was cold, "Our Xu family is a hereditary duke's mansion, and the family of the emperor who gave the golden book and iron scroll is still the emperor's house."
The former dwelling. Such a glory, looking at the capital, can also be compared with the Chang family of Kaiping Wangfu, why is he not qualified to pick an uncle? The people you mentioned last time, especially the clansmen of the Lu family, the side concubine of the East Palace, are still the eldest lady from the scholarly family, and they can't even distinguish between the dignity and inferiority of the concubines, how can my father and I agree! ”
Chen's eyes reddened, "What do you mean?" Accuse us of being dumbfounded? Why is the Lu family not a good match? Don't forget, your serious brother-in-law also married the daughter of the Lu family! ”
The Chen family and the Lu family are both century-old scholarly families in the south of the Yangtze River, and they are good families, intermarrying from generation to generation, and the younger brother of the Chen family married the daughter of the Lu family.
Xu Huizu said: "We are the Xu family, I don't care who the Chen family wants to marry, but I can make the decision on the marriage of the daughter of the Xu family." Now that the eldest son of the East Palace and the crown princess have passed away one after another, the concubine is weak and strong, what kind of calculation the Lu family is making, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty know it. ”
"This world belongs to the Zhu family, who the emperor wants to appoint, and the courtiers can only obey, but the crown princess's mother's family and our Xu family are good friends, and Kaiping King Chang Yuchun and his father are righteous brothers, so our Xu family and the Lu family can't get in close contact. If you can't even carry this, how can you take on the responsibility of being a housewife? You must know that you are now the daughter-in-law of the Xu family, not the daughter of the Chen family. ”
was slapped in the face by her husband one after another, and even questioned her ability to be a housekeeper, Chen was ashamed and angry, and he was dizzy for a while, and he lost his mouth
said: "Hmph, what about the concubine?" You only know that there is a difference between the young and the young, don't you know that the young and the old are orderly? You are also the eldest son of the concubine, and you are not the same as the prince, and there is only one sister-in-law in the house, Miaoyi. ”
"Presumptuous!" Xu Huizu was furious, and slammed a punch on the table in anger,
Revealing people does not reveal shortcomings, and the pillow man Chen revealed her husband's most obscure regret. Xu Huizu has a good appearance and temperament, Wen Tao is martial, and his character is varied
They are all outstanding, and even Emperor Hongwu praised the successors of the Xu family, but Xu Huizu only has one weakness - concubine.
Xu Huizu had experienced the war, and at this time he was angry and murderous, and the Chen family had never seen her husband like this, and he was suddenly frightened and didn't dare to speak.
Xu Huizu rode to the barracks and did not return overnight. Chen sat on the candle, feeling depressed, and the next morning he packed up some things and went back to his parents' house to relax. 166 Reading Network
