Just after the Prayer Festival, people can also take advantage of the festive afterglow to relax for a few days. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info But who would have thought that on the second day after the Prayer Festival, the emperor began to drastically rectify the court. Those who commit crimes will act in accordance with the law, no matter how hard the background is and how strong the ability is, the emperor will not let it go. In the rest of the month, with the assistance of Sikong Jun and Luo Ying, as well as the newcomers in the court, the prison of the Criminal Department and Dali Temple was full of people.

On April nights, the stars dot the sky, twinkling and twinkling beautifully. But some people can only look up at the beautiful scenery in the sky through the palm-sized window of the prison.

These people were the people the emperor wanted to let go. But they committed a big taboo, and they had to die.

It was night, in the ancestral hall of the Ji Mansion on Nanhua Street, the lights were bright, as bright as day. Except for Ji Zhongting and his wife, the masters of the Ji Mansion sat in separate rows when they were able to enter the ancestral hall, with their heads lowered with sad faces, and they didn't just close their eyes or look at the ground in a daze. The people have been swept away, and the entire ancestral hall is silent.

I don't know how long it took, but the main hall finally remembered someone's voice, the voice of the old lady, "Don't hang your head, things are not the worst." ”

Some relatives of the Ji family were somewhat implicated in the rectification of this matter. Although the emperor has arrested many people, including many high-ranking officials, he still doesn't dare to move some people. There are few people in the court who are clean, and if they really want to be arrested, they must all be arrested, so who else can stand in this court? Who will maintain the operation of the imperial court?

Ji Gangyang, the head of the Ji family, who was on an equal footing with the old lady, said: "Mother, judging from the current situation, I'm afraid we will also be implicated. ”

"The emperor has wanted to rectify the court for a long time, and he just stopped a while ago, and now he is making bold moves, and he has a little bit of revenge. If we pressed him so hard that day, he would definitely retaliate. ”

Ji Gangyang nodded, "Our emperor is thoughtful, and he is ruthless and decisive. The Queen Mother was still too anxious to attack the concubine. ”

The old lady once told the queen mother that with the emperor's affection for the concubine, she should not take any action against her. But the queen mother insisted on going her own way, did not listen to persuasion, and privately killed the concubine. "The emperor has true feelings for the concubine, I don't know if the queen mother is staying in Yongtai Temple now, will she regret her original decision? Moyu, Moyu, I don't know if you are lucky or unfortunate in this life? can be loved by the emperor, but it is a thin life. ”

Half a month ago, the emperor moved the queen mother to live in Yongtai Temple on the grounds that the queen mother's health was not safe. In the name of beauty, it is to let the Queen Mother recuperate with peace of mind, but in fact, she has been heavily guarded, and no one is allowed to visit, which has the meaning of leaving her to fend for herself. Yongtai Temple is located in a remote area, and over time, people have gradually forgotten the queen mother who has gone through three dynasties.

"She's a sacrifice for nothing." The old lady picked up the teacup and was about to drink tea, when she suddenly thought of something, raised her head and asked her son, "Has the leader who spread rumors found out?" ”

"Got it."

"Who is it?"

"King Wei."

"King Wei?" The old lady was shocked, wondering why King Wei treated the concubine like this, his daughter has been in charge of the middle palace, and now she has given birth to a prince, there is no need to deal with a concubine who is lower in rank than her and has no children! But after thinking about it, I realized that the emperor attaches so much importance to the concubine, if he is lucky enough to get the child back, it is not impossible to set up the concubine's child to be the prince, and the most important point is that if the queen's son is the prince, he will have such a strong relative as King Wei in the future, which is not what the emperor wants to see. "If the emperor knew that it was King Wei who killed the concubine, I don't know what he would do?"

Ji Boyuan, who was at the bottom, said: "With the emperor's character, this revenge will be avenged." But King Wei, does the emperor really dare to touch him? ”

Ji Gangyang said: "I can't say, the Guo family's power is not small, didn't it still collapse?" "The emperor may move the power of King Wei, but he should not move it openly, but secretly he can't say for sure.

"Hey, in troubled times, when will the smoke stop. The battlefield is beacon smoke, and the court is not beacon smoke, who can ensure that they can be foolproof. I don't know if my old bones can die blindly? The old lady sighed and silently drank the cup of tea.

Ji Gangyang comforted: "Mother, don't worry, my son won't let the Ji family have trouble." ”

"Heh," the old lady glanced at him, and said, "How many pounds and taels you have, I don't know yet, so you don't have to do it in front of me." ”

Ji Boyuan saw that his father was embarrassed, so he changed the topic and asked: "Dad, the emperor is angry now, will the virtuous concubine be implicated?" ”

"There is no will at the moment, and I can't say for sure. Perhaps, the emperor can look at the concubine's affection and will not embarrass her. ”

The old lady put down the teacup, "This is the best result, and now, our connection with the harem is only jade." If Jade doesn't fight again, hey! She didn't go any further. How has everything changed that was planned? Mo Yu died in the end, but Jade still didn't sit in the back seat, and even the child was gone. Knowing this, it was better not to change the child at the beginning, at least there was a princess.

The mechanism is exhausted, and after the sunset, it will be empty, is it really that she is old? Or did the Ji family never have that blessing? "In the future, we have to be more careful, the connection that should be broken will be temporarily broken, and the things that should be stopped will be stopped as much as possible, and we would rather not be able to buy and sell than give our lives."

"Yes." Father and son replied in unison.

A figure appeared at the door of the ancestral hall, in fact, this figure had appeared for a long time, but the people in the ancestral hall chatted carefully, so they didn't notice it. The first to find the figure at the door was Ji Boyuan.

"Who, who's standing outside the door?" Ji Boyuan shouted.

The two people in the hall, after hearing Ji Boyuan's voice, their eyes fell on the shadow on the ground at the door. I saw a person facing the candlelight and slowly appeared in front of everyone. The person who came slowly raised his head, and under the candlelight, it was the tired face of the second young master of Ji Mansion that he hadn't seen for a long time.

When the news of the death of the concubine Ji reached his ears, he didn't believe it, thinking that it was just that his sister was thinking about him in the palace and deliberately released the news to let him come back. But although I didn't believe it, I came back. But when I returned to Tokyo, I felt that everything had changed, and everyone had changed. The news that I didn't want to believe was also told that it had become a fact.

Ji Boyuan stood up and asked in a deep voice, "Brother Zhong, when did you come back, you, how long have you been outside?" ”

Ji Zhongting fixed his eyes on the old lady in the hall, "Hehe, I just came back." He was really chilling, even the words "sacrificed in vain" came out of her mouth, could it be that my sister was just a usable item in their minds?

"Did Danxiu come back with you?" Ji Boyuan asked.

"Yes." I'm in my room now, and I'm secretly sad and sad! For her favorite sister.

"It's good to come back, your father-in-law often mentions you, take Danxiu back tomorrow to have a look, and don't leave again in the future."

"Yes." He didn't know what else to say except yes, as if between him and them, although they were still family, the distance was estranged, and there seemed to be a wall between him and them, and he couldn't cross it.

The old lady looked at her grandson with confused eyes, and she could feel the change in this grandson. Especially the way he looked at her just now, it was disappointment, sadness, and helplessness, was he disappointed in this family? "Since you've just come back, let's go back and rest, now you don't have to go out in Jingzhong, don't go out again after you come back, so as not to get into trouble."

"Hehe......" Ji Zhongting smirked a few times, then turned around firmly, and said, "After meeting my father-in-law and mother-in-law tomorrow, I will leave with Danxiu and my mother." From now on, I will not set foot in the city of Tokyo unless I die of illness. ”

"What did you say?" Several people asked in disbelief, what does this mean? Ji Boyuan was puzzled and said: "This is your home, why don't you come back?" ”

"Home, this home, is scattered, and you have broken it up."

Ji Boyuan laughed dryly twice, and said, "Brother Zhong, there are still old ladies and fathers here, they are all old, you should do your filial piety under their knees." ”

Filial piety, he doesn't see this need! They don't have time for them to do their filial piety. "This place, it just makes me feel sick."

"Presumptuous." The old lady shouted, her voice mixed with a tremor that even she didn't know. She has earned her whole life for the Ji family, is she going to be treated like this by her children and grandchildren? "Who are you talking to?"

Ji Zhongting closed his eyes tightly, then opened them, slowly turned around, looked at the angry expressions of the three people in front of him, sneered, and asked, "Then can you tell me what role you played in my sister's death?" ”

Ji Boyuan took a step forward and said urgently: "Brother Zhong, you misunderstood, this matter really has nothing to do with us, what I said is true." ”

"Even if it wasn't your start, there should be a fueling process! How did I hear that you, Lord Ji, are fair and honest, righteous and righteous to kill relatives, respectable and worthy! Is that what you are? Don't you feel ashamed? ”

"Alright." The old lady interrupted him, "Ting'er, you are not involved in government affairs, and you don't know what it means to be involuntarily. Some things are not what you want, I understand this truth, your father understands, the emperor understands, and Moyu also understands, so she willingly ...... "to die."

"What about the emperor, the emperor's ninety-five supreme, as soon as his golden mouth opens, who dares to disobey?" Why, he can't even protect his own woman?

The old lady stepped forward, patted her grandson on the shoulder, and comforted: "Child, the emperor does have supreme rights, but there are also many helplessness. In this world, the emperor can tolerate her, but everyone except the emperor can't tolerate her, you say, what can the emperor do? ”

"In the final analysis, the emperor doesn't love his sister as much as he thinks, otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen the country and abandoned his sister."

"No, this time, it's the Queen Mother."

Dowager? If the queen mother killed her sister, wouldn't it be the old lady and father who killed her sister? What else is said has nothing to do with them. How sad it is that her sister, who laughs like a spring breeze, her smart sister, and her sister who is strong in martial arts, will die at the hands of her relatives in the end. God, what did she do wrong in her previous life?

Ji Zhongting raised his head and looked at the tablets enshrined in his ancestral hall, some of which he knew, and some of the names he was familiar with, but most of them were unfamiliar. Could it be that his ancestors were also on such a mission? For the sake of interests, he did not hesitate to sacrifice his own flesh and blood, his own siblings?

What's the point of pursuing these now? When a person dies, there is nothing left, all kinds of things in her life, but they are all turned into grains of dust, maybe only that cold tombstone, proving that she has been in this world.

"Brother Zhong, where are you going?" Ji Boyuan looked at his younger brother as if he had lost his soul, turned around and took empty steps, staggering out of the ancestral hall step by step, his heart ached. His dashing and domineering younger brother should not have such a look.

The old lady organized his voice and said, "Forget it, let him go, he won't understand." ”

If you haven't experienced it, you won't understand the twists and turns. If one day, he enters the official career and enters the court, he will know that everything they do today is involuntarily.

Ji Zhongting didn't know how he got back to the bedroom, he only felt that it was extremely cold and silent this day. In the room, his daughter-in-law Zhao Danxiu was drinking alone with undried tears on her face. When he came in, he said, "Come and have a drink." ”

He walked to the table and sat down, took the wine glass in Zhao Danxiu's hand, looked at the clear wine, smelled the fragrant wine, and said, "Drunk?" ”

Zhao Danxiu nodded, "Well, I don't know when the rest will be left, so I will take it out." I'm afraid this is the only thing my sister left us. Hongyan is drunk, Hongyan is guilty, hehe, why did the emperor take such a name, it is a prophecy. ”

After drinking a glass of wine, the sweet wine entered her throat, and bursts of heat came, and she shed tears in pain. "When I first met, my sister was dressed in white like a fairy in a painting, and she smiled slightly. But when she jumped into the water to save me, she was so decisive and admirable. Later, when we met in the palace, I could feel that my sister had changed, and she always showed a helpless look on her face unintentionally, and she must have lived very unhappy in the palace. Last year, she still sent her smile and sent her off, and now she is back in her old place, who knows that Fanghua has passed away, leaving a cold tombstone, waiting for us to burn incense and mourn. ”

Ji Zhongting played with the wine glass in his hand and recalled: "The first time I saw her, it was when she was serving tea the morning after she came back, and the old lady deliberately embarrassed her. At that time, I was thinking, this sister must be like-minded with me. Later, she gave me more and more surprises, she understands water, and her poetry and poetry are by no means inferior to women in Beijing. She also knows the criminal law, and even Liu Chenxuan praised her. She also knows martial arts, and even I am no match for her. God is really unfair, he created such a perfect person as her, but let her be in this troubled world, born in a family like ours, and her fate is beyond her control. ”

Zhao Danxiu put down the wine glass, turned around and grabbed Ji Zhongting's hand, and said seriously: "Zhongting, let's leave!" Why don't you leave Tokyo and travel all over the world, see all the beautiful scenery, and live freely? ”

Unexpectedly, his daughter-in-law really thought the same as him, and he asked, "Why?" ”

"Because this is what my sister has pursued all her life, otherwise she would not spoil us so much and give us so much money unconditionally. Let's take my sister's dreams and go! ”

Ji Zhongting took her into his arms and said, "Okay, let's go." From then on, I will never return to Tokyo. We took my sister's dreams and traveled all over the world, eating all the food, seeing the beautiful scenery, and knowing all the people. ”

"Okay."

In her life, how fortunate she is to be able to marry such a man and understand her and spoil her. How fortunate she is to have a sister like Moyu, which has become her beautiful marriage with her husband. The happiest thing in a woman's life is to have a happy home, a loving husband, and lovely children. And the biggest credit for her to have all this comes from her sister, Mo Yu. (To be continued.) )
