94. Chapter 94
Speaking of the story of the Jiang family, compiled into a drama, even three days and three nights can not be sung, since the previous dynasty, the Jiang family is the famous family of Changyang City, and the Jiang family still lives in Changyang City, one of which follows the Taizu Emperor to fight the world, and stays until the four seas are pacified, and the Jiang family becomes a well-deserved founding father, this branch is the ancestor of the Jiang family in Beijing.
However, it is said that Jiang Jiawei has been famous for more than 200 years, and in the generation of Jiang Chengxiang's grandfather, the Jiang family's heirs are thin, and only one son-in-law was born.
Jiang Zhongming knew that he inherited the burden of family honor and disgrace, under the teaching of his grandfather, he wrote poems, and knew everything about economic soldiers, and at the age of eighteen he was nominated for the gold list, and he became the youngest champion of the Great Yuan Dynasty, and he has since entered the officialdom.
This Jiang Zhong will become famous next year, and he is noble, and his future is immeasurable, and countless famous ladies in Beijing secretly promised, but unfortunately he has set a family affair since he was a child, and he is the daughter of Shen Zheng, the official of Qipin County in Zhongzhou County.
This Jiang's father and Shen Zheng were classmates and friends, and it happened that Jiang Shen's two wives were pregnant at the same time, and Jiang's father mentioned that if the two families had a boy and a girl, they would form a family of children. When the melon was ripe, as the two of them wanted, Jiang's father solemnly sent a family token, and only waited for the children of both parties to grow up, and they could become husband and wife.
I don't want to make people by providence, Jiang's father went early, Shen Zheng offended the powerful, and his career was not smooth, and he only did the post of county official until he died, but Jiang Zhongming did not betray his treachery because of this, when he was eighteen years old, he married Shen and entered the door, but within three or five years, he gave birth to a son-in-law and a daughter-in-law.
Speaking of this, Gu Sanniang had already guessed a few points, and she said: "This Jiang Jingyan, I'm afraid it's just a clumsy?" ”
Dongfang Jian nodded, and then went on, the good times did not last long, the head of the Jiang family died of a serious illness, Jiang Zhongming was an official outside at this time, and he had to go home to mourn his grandfather, and Ding Wei stayed in the system for three years.
Grandfather passed away, the side line is mostly some unbearable generations, coinciding with the rise of peace in the four seas, the emperor wants to take over power, the Jiang faction in the court lost its backbone, or was transferred to other places, or rose and descended secretly, Jiang Zhongming was just over 20 years old at that time, and he was far away from the government and the opposition, he had nothing to do.
Shen saw that her husband was worried, and she was also anxious, but her mother's family was in decline, and she couldn't help Jiang Zhongming at all. Who knew that soon, it was rumored that the Shen family was overly worried, leaving her husband and young son behind, and Jiang Zhongming suffered one blow after another and suffered a serious illness.
Dongfang Jian stopped, he glanced at Gu Sanniang, and said: "Some people say that the Shen family did not actually commit suicide, as for the truth, no one dares to ask Prime Minister Jiang for verification." ”
Gu Sanniang was secretly surprised, if her mother-in-law, whom she had never met, really had an unknown cause of death, then it was no wonder that Shen Zhuo was reluctant to mention the Jiang family.
After recovering from his illness, Jiang Zhongming returned to his ancestral home with a pair of children, and just when everyone concluded that the Jiang family was going to fall, Jiang Zhongming, who had completed three years of filial piety for his grandfather in his hometown, suddenly married the eldest daughter of King Luo, the lord of Jiayuan.
For a while, there was an uproar in Beijing, not to mention whether the Jiang family could still rise, just that Jiang Zhongming had married a wife before, and the county lord of Jiayuan had a noble status, but he was willing to marry into the Jiang family as a stepfamily, which undoubtedly swept away the royal dignity.
At that time, Emperor Duanwen was the brother of King Luo, I heard that he was very unhappy about this, and reprimanded King Luo, but King Luo was helpless, it turned out that the lord of Jiayuan fell in love with Jiang Zhongming at first sight, even if he knew that he married a wife and had children, he was still obsessed, and he came and went, the lord of Jiayuan passed the age of marriage, and the palace also forced her to marry, but this lord of Jiayuan was looking for death and life, and would rather cut his hair for a nun than get married, King Luo couldn't bear to persecute his daughter, so he had to go with her.
Later, the Jiang family changed greatly, Jiang Zhongming's grandfather and wife died one after another, King Luo's poor daughter was infatuated, and gave up an old face to ask for marriage, who knew that Jiang Zhongming didn't know what to do, he only said that he would keep filial piety for three years, and then talk about lifelong events later, and almost didn't make King Luo angry, the lord of Jiayuan County has been waiting for so many years, and where do you care about three years.
Three years later, Jiang Zhongming personally came to the door to ask for marriage, at that time the county lord of Jiayuan was already a twenty-five-year-old girl, and King Luo almost did not hesitate at all, so he nodded and agreed to this family business.
Jiang Zhongming and the lord of Jiayuan moved back to Beijing after marriage, but three or five years, the lord of Jiayuan added two sons in law to the Jiang family, one is Zhenyan, the other is Jinyan, the father-in-law of King Luo in the court support, Jiang Zhongming soon re-entered the office, he was originally a capable minister of the auxiliary monarch of the country, Emperor Duanwen wanted to use him, but also wanted to suppress the Jiang family, Jiang Zhongming was good at observing words and feelings, he knew that the emperor was suspicious of him, so he found an opportunity to be an official.
A few years later, Emperor Duanwen was critically ill, the prince was young, and the emperor was worried that his relatives were interfering in politics, so he had to recruit Jiang Zhongming back and entrust him to assist the prince to become an adult.
Dongfang Jian said for a long time, Gu Sanniang still couldn't figure out why Shen Zhuo would cut off relations with the Jiang family, and he was so troubled that he changed his name and surname, Dongfang Jian said to her: "The new emperor ascended the throne, he is not yet the age of pro-government, and the affairs of the DPRK and China need to rely on the Jiang family, so the momentum in Beijing is getting stronger and stronger, Shen Zhuo is not on good terms with Jiang Cheng, and he rarely interacts with the Jiang family, until he marries at the age of eighteen, and the relationship between father and son is eased. ”
Speaking of Shen Zhuo's Yuan with An's family, her family is also a rookie in the capital, a few years after marrying into the Jiang family, An's gave birth to his sister-in-law Jiang Yu, the newborn little brother was congenitally insufficient, Shen Zhuo in order to save his son, took the little brother to find his master Xie Bai, it took a year or two to cure the little brother, who thought that when he returned to Beijing, he heard rumors that his wife An had an affair with the current Jingwen Emperor.
This matter is not a secret among the emperor's relatives, even Jiang Zhongming is deeply ashamed, if it were not for the protection of Emperor Jingwen, he would have executed An's family, with the return of Shen Zhuo, Emperor Jingwen's jealousy is flying, he disregards morality and shame, and wants to marry An's concubine, at this time, Emperor Jingwen has already been pro-government, Jiang Zhongming, who has assisted him for many years, has been persuaded hard, but Emperor Jingwen insists on going his own way, making the gap between the monarch and the minister bigger and bigger.
Shen was disheartened, he was the end of his relationship with the An family, so he moved out of the Jiang Mansion with his little brother, and it didn't take long for the Jiang family to release the news that the An family died violently, and then Emperor Jingwen canonized the courtiers of the An family as concubines, in fact, the ministers in the capital all knew that this Concubine An was the dead daughter-in-law of the Jiang family.
Gu Sanniang was shocked when she heard this, her eyes widened and she said, "You say...... You said that Yu Ge'er's mother didn't die? ”
Dongfang Jian smiled sarcastically, he said: "What is the difference between being dead and not dying, is it possible that she still dares to recognize Brother Yu'er." ”
Gu Sanniang's back was covered with cold sweat, she couldn't have imagined that Concubine An mentioned by Shen Zhuo earlier was actually the mother of Brother Yu'er, no wonder Shen Zhuo didn't want to mention it at that time, thinking of this, she covered her chest and pounded non-stop, and her heart was very unpleasant, she was not worth it for Brother Yu'er, and even more so for Shen Zhuo.
Gu Sanniang asked, "This is the reason why Ah Zhuo left the Jiang family?" ”
Dongfang Jian shook his head and said: "In the end, he broke with the Jiang family because of his sister Jiang Miaoyan, at that time Shen Zhuo had left Beijing with his little brother, just when the court and Tatar truce, the Tatar Khan wrote to ask for marriage, at this time there was no princess of the right age in the clan, and the Tatar State came one after another, Jiang Cheng took the initiative to play the table, willing to marry the Miaoyan girl into the Tatars, and waited until Shen Zhuo rushed back to stop it, but it was too late, the Miaoyan girl had already been sent to the road of harmony, she married to the Tatar State less than half a month, and there was a funeral report that she died of serious illness. ”
Gu Sanniang couldn't hold back any longer, her tears were falling down, you can imagine how much Shen Zhuo should have blamed herself at that time, why God was so ruthless and wanted him to be tortured like this.
"Because of the death of the girl with wonderful words, Shen Zhuo invited himself out of the sect and never set foot in the Jiang family again."
After talking about the grievances and grievances between Shen Zhuo and the Jiang family, Dongfang Jian looked at Gu Sanniang, and he said in a deep voice: "I am telling you this, I want to sue you, someone is ready to use Shen Zhuo to destroy the Jiang family and the prince's family, and only Jiang Cheng is the prime minister who can save Shen Zhuo." ”
Gu Sanniang was silent, according to Shen Chu's temper, how could he be willing to ask Jiang Chengxiang for help.
The room was very quiet, and after a while, Gu Sanniang suddenly asked, "The people who want to kill Ah Zhuo are Concubine An's family?" ”
Dongfang Jian nodded in acquiescence, Gu Sanniang exhaled deeply, and she said to him, "Can you help me see Ah Zhuo." ”
Dongfang Jian was stunned at first, and then agreed.
Although Dongfang Jian was deprived of his title, he still had a lot of connections in Beijing, and the next day he sent someone to deliver a letter to inform Gu Sanniang that he could go to see Shen Zhuo.
Gu Sanniang learned that she could see Shen Zhuo, she borrowed the kitchen of the inn and made a few dishes of Shen Zhuo's favorite food, before leaving, she thought for a while, asked the inn's shopkeeper to borrow rouge, dressed herself neatly, and then went out.
This time, she still didn't bring two children, she came to the Dali Temple prison alone, this time, the people guarding the door were not the few officials who saw a few days ago, I think someone had taken care of her in advance, and those officials saw her, and didn't say anything superfluous, and took her straight into the prison.
The prison is eerie and terrifying, with a smell of decay, this is the second time Gu Sanniang has entered the prison, the last time she was in prison in Tongcheng, she didn't even forget to be afraid, but this time she was very worried, and after walking for a long time, the two officials took her to the depths, until she stopped at the door of a cell.
"Prisoner Shen Zhuo, someone has come to see you." The official shouted inward.
The figure that was originally facing away from them turned around, Gu Sanniang saw that familiar face, tears suddenly flowed down, and she shouted: "Ah Zhuo!" ”
