Chapter 11: Epistles
Tian Dengwen's henchman Ma Qin has followed him since he was a child, and he is extremely brave, often serving as a pioneer when Tian Dengwen is marching. With the increasing authority of Tian Dengwen www.biquge.info the western part of the Guanwaihai Sea has plundered the people in the Guannei from time to time, and the imperial court now almost completely relies on Tian Dengwen to guard Liaodong. It is precisely because of this that the concubine can be less jealous of the queen mother and the queen, and plan for the second prince in the harem.
Ma Qin's biggest weakness lies in lust, if there is a person who has eyes, whether it is in the boudoir or has been a wife, he must find ways to take it for himself. And he is very ruthless, often rewarding his subordinates with concubines who he no longer likes.
The woman in this case is the wife of a small official in Liaoyang Mansion of the Metropolitan Division, and one day when she was looking for a merchant to buy needlework at the door of her house, she was seen by Ma Qin, who was passing by, and since then she has been out of control, and she has to be taken as a concubine.
At the beginning, Ma Qin was still patient and found someone to tell the little official to write a letter to release his wife. Who knew that the little official and his wife were very affectionate and unwilling to leave, so they discussed sending his wife back to her parents' house to hide for a while. As soon as he left the city gate, he ran into Ma Qin's servant, beat the little official severely, robbed his wife and sent him to Ma Qin's mansion.
Although the little official was weak, he didn't want to stop there. He filed a complaint with Liaoyang Mansion, but in order to give Ma Qin favors, the prefect beat the officials several times and threw them out of the door.
After picking up a life, he came back and did not give up, he went to Jinan Mansion after recovering from his injuries, and reported Ma Qin and the Liaoyang prefect to Shandong according to the Inspectorate Division. It's a pity that the Shandong envoy didn't want to offend Tian Dengwen, nor did he want to give someone a handle, so he was impeached by the imperial history. So he sent someone to send the little official back to Liaoyang, hinting that the prefect Tian Dengwen wanted to keep Ma Qin and quickly end the case. The prefect thought that he had a plan, so he secretly sent someone to poison the little official.
When the wife heard that her husband had sued all the way, she suffered a lot, and died for no apparent reason, and her heart was broken. Once when she was alone with Ma Qin, she stabbed Ma Qin with a dagger, but was stabbed by him with his backhand. Ma Qin was furious, stripped her naked and tied her in the courtyard, and let all the concubines watch, and had her whipped to death.
Although the wife of the servant lost her virginity, she was a martyr. Xuanhui had also heard her story in her previous life, and while sighing, she also lamented that the rule of law collapsed in the last days of the dynasty, and the people were wronged.
In the past and present life, the listener of the story wants to change the ending of the story.
In his previous life, Cheng Engong seized this murder case and gathered several imperial histories to impeach Tian Dengwen for his laxity, collusion with judges, private imprisonment, interference with torture and other crimes. Emperor Yuanhe was only willing to severely punish Ma Qin and was unwilling to remove Tian Dengwen because of the constant troubles in eastern Liaodong, and Tian Dengwen was only willing to punish Ma Qin severely.
Helplessly, the Queen Mother persecuted, and even threatened each other with illness. Later, he said that Tian Dengwen had been operating in Liaodong for a long time, and even the Shandong envoy had to look at his face, and in the long run, he might not be as powerful as the late Tang Dynasty. The concubine has a prince, what if she leads the army to force the palace in the future?
Emperor Yuanhe was finally moved and demoted Tian Dengwen to Yunnan. On the way, he encountered bandits, and Tian Dengwen died in a foreign land. Since then, the court has been dominated by the Chengen Gong family, excluding dissidents, only accumulating wealth, and even the disaster relief silver in the northwest has been swallowed in large sums, which eventually caused a catastrophe in the 20th year of Yuanhe.
Xuanhui in this life wants to use his own power to change all this. Although Tian Dengwen is no different from Cheng Engong, they are both greedy for money and power, and treat the people of Li as nothing. However, it is precisely because they are all evil that they need to be contained. The consequence of tilting power toward the government and the opposition will inevitably be that the world will be reversed and the sun and the moon will be covered with dust.
In the afternoon of this day, Xuanhui went to Fengyang Pavilion next to Cining Palace to see Duanmin, and found that He Jing was also there.
"The second sister is here all day long, and she doesn't go to play with me!" Xuanhui likes her two sisters very much, they are both gentle and generous people.
"You're too far away, I'm lazy! Don't blame me. He Jing smiled and handed Xuanhui a loquat that he had peeled himself.
Xuanhui thanked him, observed the situation in the house while eating loquats, and looked at the man's clothes piled on the kang, and knew that he had come at the right time.
"What is the eldest sister busy here? It's a mess. It's time for the Queen Mother to take a nap, right? Let's go talk to the Queen Mother! Xuanhui proposed.
Duan Min said: "When the third brother left, it was still cold, but it suddenly became hot in the past two days. He was still going to stay in Liaodong for a while, so I returned to the Queen Mother, packed some clothes from Duanjing Palace, and asked people to send them to him. If you don't like it, let's go inside and talk. ”
Xuanhui couldn't wait for her to say this, and hurriedly said, "Okay! I left Cai Wei to help them. ”
Duan Min smiled: "Where is the need for your people!" He led them into the inner chamber. Cai Wei stayed.
Sitting down in the inner room, He Jing whispered: "At this time, don't touch the queen mother's moldy head." A few days ago, the eldest princess said something, and the queen mother lost her temper, and called the virtuous concubine to serve for two days! Don't you know? ”
Xuan Hui smiled bitterly: "How I don't know! It's just that the mother concubine also said that if this can make the queen mother dissipate, then it will be Amitabha. ”
Duan Min smiled: "You learn like you!" How about looking at these longevity characters that I wrote? I'm going to pick out a framed one and make a birthday gift for the Queen Mother. ”
He Jing said: "The eldest sister in the palace has the best words, and the queen mother will definitely like this birthday gift." I'll be cheesy, and I will make a congratulatory gift for the longevity of the crane. ”
Xuanhui frowned and said, "You all have ideas?" I haven't figured it out yet! Can you help me think about it? ”
Duan Min smiled: "You're still worried!" Find an elegant tune, sit on the high platform when the time comes, the wind blows, fluttering like a fairy, the music follows the wind, I don't know how beautiful it is! ”
While the sisters were laughing, He Jing suddenly asked Xuanhui: "The Queen Mother is angry this time, saying that it is because Uncle Changyi doesn't want Li Jingyuan to be her granddaughter-in-law, is this true?" ”
Xuanhui said: "I don't know, my mother didn't tell me." But ......" Seeing Hejing staring nervously at herself, Xuanhui knew what was on her mind. However, in his previous life, Hejing was very obscure, like a small flower blooming by the palace wall, quietly opening and withering. Xuanhui didn't know what her ending would be, but she knew that she didn't marry Xue Yuanhan.
"But what?" Seeing that Xuanhui didn't speak, He Jing asked anxiously.
"The mother concubine really didn't worry about her cousin's marriage anymore, and she was busy with the queen mother's birthday these days. So I think this family affair should be done. ”
He Jing breathed a sigh of relief, but felt that he had shown too much of it, and secretly regretted it in his heart.
A few days later, Liang Zhan, who was in Liaoyang Mansion, received the clothes from the palace, and got a clueless instruction from the little eunuch: "The princess said, please take a closer look at the azure straight shirt before the third prince wears it." ”
"Which princess?" Liang Zan asked suspiciously.
The little eunuch said with trepidation: "Back to the third prince, the slave doesn't know. ”
Back in the house, Liang Zhan unwrapped his baggage and turned over an azure straight jacket. Open it and take a closer look, and drop a letter from it. The letter's handwriting is crooked, and at first glance it is written with his left hand. The content shocked him, and some of the three sisters were so familiar with the affairs of the court. is so bold that he wants him to use his interests to persuade Tian Dengwen to give up Ma Qin, and make a gesture of knowing the righteousness and eliminating harm for the people to protect himself.
As soon as Pei Minzhong came in, he saw Liang Zan pondering over a letter. After taking the letter and reading it, Pei Minzhong's eyes suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and a sly smile appeared on his delicate little face.
