Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Ending

On the evening of the twelfth day, the fire clouds on the edge of the sky were extremely red, and Li Qiankun finally stepped out of the door of the imperial study and returned to the Li Mansion. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Although the info person is thin and undecent, he is full of energy, and his eyes are bright. As soon as he returned to the Li Mansion and went to the old lady to report his safety, he asked people to hurry up and go to Huizhou to call the second master Li Qiangao back.

Jiang's happily arranged a table of dust-washing banquets, all of which Li Qiankun likes to eat every day. At the dinner table, Li Qiankun looked at his wife, children and mother, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

In the past six days, there has not been a single hour that has not wandered at the gate of the ghost gate, and if you are not careful, you will never come back. However, once he returned, what awaited him was an infinite opportunity to move forward, and his heart was surging.

The emperor's younger brother, King Changning, has long secretly colluded with Lord Xu, the secretary of the military department, Lord Zhao, the soldier of the military department, Lord Jiang, the commander of the Five Cities, and the chief manager of the palace, Haide Lu, to plot to usurp the throne.

The king of Changning entered Beijing to meet him this time, and suddenly became difficult. Lord Xu and Lord Zhao led troops to surround the imperial study in the name of patrolling, and even mosquitoes could hardly fly with wings, and no news outside the imperial study could be transmitted, and everyone was only the emperor discussing major matters with the ministers. In the imperial study, the king of Changning forced the emperor to decree and summoned his nursing mother, who was nearly seventy years old, Li Qiankun and Zhou Ge Lao into the palace.

The king of Changning threatened the newborn grandson of the nurse, so that the emperor's nurse admitted to the world that the emperor was not born to the emperor, but the queen mother who stole the beam for the pillar and the civet cat for the prince, and the real dragon's son-in-law should inherit the unification of the king of Changning. The nurse was afraid of the prostitution of the king of Changning, so she had no choice but to follow what the king of Changning said, and put her own handprints on a pair of bright yellow old silk cloth full of words.

The moment Li Qiankun and Zhou Ge Lao stepped into the imperial study side by side, the nurse just raised her hand and looked at the two people who came in against the light, her eyes were full of horror, and her whole body trembled.

The emperor sat with a serious face, not seeing the slightest mood swing.

The king of Changning took the silk cloth with his handprint pressed and asked Zhou Ge Lao to announce it to the public, and Li Qiankun was a witness.

After perusing the absurd words on the silk cloth, Zhou Ge Lao rejected King Changning with a pale face.

In the next few days, King Changning tortured Zhou Ge Lao and Li Qiankun in every way, and lured him in every way. Elder Zhou Ge could not bear the humiliation, and he died by hitting the pillar, and blood burst out, staining the long table full of folds in the imperial study.

Just when the king of Changning lost his patience and was about to cut through the chaos with a quick knife, the king of Yan rushed in with his troops.

Joining him inside and out is Hu Ming, the commander-in-chief of Jinyiwei.

The emperor's nerves, which had been tense for six days, finally relaxed the moment he saw King Yan. He bent down and picked up the stiffened body of Zhou Ge Lao, who was dragged to the corner, and solemnly handed it over to King Yan, who had already subdued King Changning.

Patting his son on the shoulder, the emperor said solemnly: "Bury him." There was indescribable tiredness in his expression, but his gaze at King Yan had a different look from the past.

Li Qiankun stood behind the emperor and seemed to feel his heart, which was a little old after six days of torture.

Six days ago, the six people stepped into the door of the imperial study with their own thoughts, but six days later, only Li Qiankun and Hu Minghu, the commander-in-chief of the Jinyi Guard, came out of the imperial study, and the other four died violently. The emperor's nurse also died a day later due to an old illness.

On the thirteenth, the emperor decreed that the eldest son of the elder Zhou Pavilion was awarded the title of Duke of Weiguo, rewarded the Zhou family with the word loyalty, and named his grandson Zhongyi King, and the title of the Zhou family was passed down from generation to generation and could not be taken away. Hu Ming's official rank remained unchanged, but at the same time he supervised the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and Li Qiankun was promoted to the head of the cabinet. The two of them each have countless silver coins and thousands of acres of fertile land.

Li Qiankun is the youngest pavilion elder since the founding of the Great Yan Kingdom.

The remaining three were beheaded all over the house.

When she heard the news, Linglong was embroidering sachets for Zhe Ying, Yan Ying and Shen Xinyi. Zhe Ying asked the little girl to send a post, and three days later she was going to hold a crab banquet and invite Linglong and Lingrong to come over to play. Of course, Xiao Shi would not agree, but the little girl in the Li Mansion directly sent the post to the old lady, and the old lady not only agreed, but also asked Xiao Shi to make new clothes for the two sisters.

The old lady only thought that she was still depressed because of Xiao Wenhui's matter, and she didn't care about her, so she asked Liuli to make clothes for Linglong and Lingrong.

Someone reported Xiao Wenhui's husband to the emperor, saying that he was unkind to the official, oppressed the people, and occupied the good land and shops, which caused the people to complain.

The emperor was furious and immediately demoted him to Zhangzhou, and became a fellow acquaintance of a county in Zhangzhou. When leaving Xiao's private house in Maoer Hutong, Xiao Wenhui cried to death, and Xiao quietly stuffed the three thousand taels of silver he had obtained from his private account to his sister. When I went there, I had to pay for a little money.

"Miss, now everyone in the capital is spreading that King Yan is going to replace the crown prince and inherit the throne." The saliva that the shadow said in front of Linglong flew with his teeth and claws, and his excited little face was red.

"What nonsense!" Linglong put down the needle and sternly stopped the photo, "Can you say such a disrespectful word!" ”

Don't say that Lingyu is the prince's good di, Mu Fu is firmly ******, even if it is not, it is easy to provoke right and wrong.

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart.

Zhaoying also realized that he had lost his words, stuck out his tongue, and changed the subject, "This time, that Miss Qing can't beat the young master of the Li family anymore." ”

"Not really. It's just that in Zhangzhou, the four seasons are humid, and the miasma is heavy, she has been used to being delicate since she was a child, and she may not be able to adapt to it. Ziyue sighed.

"They are doing their own thing. Looking at her and her mother, you know that her father may not be a good person. If I were the emperor, I wouldn't even give him a fellow acquaintance. ”

"Nonsense again!" Linglong glared at Zhaoying, "Are you in a panic when you have nothing to do?" What do you mean by "if I am the emperor", can you say such words! The tone was stern.

Knowing that he said the wrong thing again, Zhaoying was afraid of being reprimanded, so he ran away with a smoke.

Ziyue looked at the figure that Zhao Ying left, smiled and shook her head, "There are more and more rules, it's all because the young lady is used to her." ”

Linglong smiled, lowered her head and continued to do needlework. originally thought that Yan Ying was going to get married, Zhe Ying loved to be lively, and her heart was quiet and she embroidered pomegranates, peonies and orchids on the sachets respectively. But I didn't expect that this peony was so difficult to embroider, and if she didn't hurry up, she might not finish embroidering it when she went to the crab banquet.

The emperor demoted the Luo family to Zhangzhou as a fellow intellectual, and this punishment was far more severe than dismissing him. The dismissal of officials is just to return to their hometown for the people, and with what they have done in Zhending over the years, they must have rich savings, and they are also squires on the rich side who return to their hometowns for the people, and they live a leisurely life. But it's different to go to Zhangzhou to be a fellow intellectual, it's just that the local remote climate is not good, if it's the parent official in charge of one party, it's better, at least you don't have to look at people's faces, and your political performance is good, and you may be transferred after three years. But it's just a fellow knower who can't go up or down, not only has to work up and down, left and right, if you don't pay attention to it, life will be difficult, and there is almost no possibility of transfer, unless you wait until the crown prince ascends the throne, Lingyu intercedes for him.

Linglong guessed that this was Jiang's handiwork.

Zhe Ying's crab banquet not only invited Linglong and Lingrong, but also invited the two young ladies of the Jiang family, Jiang Shisanniang, Jiang Shuanghui and Jiang Shiniang, Jiang Shuangrui.

Jiang Shuanghui is even more lively and active than Zhe Ying, and keeps making fun of Yan Ying, who is about to marry into their family, which makes Yan Ying blush and scold Jiang Shuanghui.

Jiang Shuangrui has a quiet temperament, sitting next to his sister Jiang Shuanghui, pursing his lips and smiling from time to time, he is a typical lady, gentle and elegant.

Seeing the sachet that Linglong embroidered for Zhe Ying and them, the two sisters couldn't put it down. Yan Ying's pomegranate sachet means more children and more blessings, Jiang Shuanghui made fun of Yan Ying for a long time, and Yan Ying went back to the room with a red face and red ears.

Zhe Ying whispered to Linglong: "Don't look at her teasing my sister now, after the New Year, she will also get married, and we will go to trouble her then." ”

"Are you already married?" Linglong asked in a low voice.

"It's set, it was set in the spring of this year, because the place is far away, my aunt is reluctant to her, and said that she wants to keep her for a few more days, and she will get married in March next year."

"Where are you going to marry?" Linglong said curiously.

"Kunming, Yunnan." Zhe Ying sighed and said.

Linglong gasped, it was so far away. The Jiang family is not a broken family and can't marry their daughter, so why did they marry her so far. If something happens to Jiang Shuanghui in the future, the Jiang family is also beyond the reach of the whip and can't help.

"Your aunt and uncle are willing to let her go to such a far place? Besides, Yunnan and Beijing are worlds apart in terms of climate and living habits, so she is willing to suffer? ”

"How can you give it up! You don't know, my aunt cried several times and fainted when she was married. It's just that the man is her own fancie, and she has to get married, so my uncle and aunt can't help it. Zhe Ying was helpless and a little envious.

She also hopes that the husband she will marry in the future will be what she is satisfied with, not the words of a matchmaker, let alone a political marriage. is like Sister Yan Ying, everyone says that it is really good for her to marry into the Jiang family, but only she knows that Sister Yan Ying is not very happy, she doesn't like her cousin's temperament, and thinks he is too angry.

Two people are going to live a lifetime, if you have a pimple in your heart now, then how will you live in the future, how can you be happy. Zhe Ying hopes that her relationship with her husband in the future will be like that of the second uncle and the second trial, respecting and cherishing each other.

"It's good that she's in love with herself." As long as the family didn't send her over for political purposes, she should still be able to live well.

Unless there is a rift between the husband and wife.

Suddenly, Linglong thought of Shen Yunqi.

If you can really marry Shen Yunqi as your wife like you did when you played when you were a child, is it also your own picture? Linglong felt that her face was a little feverish, and she didn't know what Shen Yunqi was doing in the northwest and when she would come back.

Shen Yunchi, who was riding a horse on the post road from the northwest to the capital, sneezed three times in a row, wrinkled his nose, and raised his hand to give the horse a whip on his buttocks.

Leaving behind him the rolling yellow dust and the screaming inkstone on the little donkey. (To be continued.) )
