This full moon ceremony of Prince Yi's Mansion is destined to be prosperous in Chang'an City for a while.

In addition to the public contradiction between the crown prince and Prince Yi, and An Guogong actually stood up at the last moment and publicly proposed to Emperor Yongchang for marriage, which made the Cui family's third room in the face crackle.

Many people know that the third room of the Cui family is intended for An Zichang to be the fast son-in-law of Chenglong, and An Zichang has always had an ambiguous attitude before, although he did not agree, but he did not refuse, which made the Cui family have a delusion and thought it was a certainty.

In the eyes of many people, being able to marry a woman with five surnames, especially the Qinghe Cui family, which is the most noble among the five surnames, will not refuse if he is a man at all.

Moreover, even Prince Yi once wanted to accept Cui Lianlian as a side concubine, but was rejected by the Cui family.

No, Luantai's posts on choosing a son-in-law have all been issued, just wait for Tiananzi to appear often, and create a good story like Emperor Yongchang's "Bird Screen Selection" back then. Then Cui Lianlian will be able to marry in the limelight and be her Duchess of Anguo.

Who knew that Lu Dao Anzi often made such a scene at the full moon ceremony of Prince Yi's little prince, which really made everyone see the ups and downs and their hearts were surging.

On the way back with Xiao Shihe, Du Hengshuang was still talking to him about this matter.

"No wonder An Guogong has never officially proposed marriage to Su Su, it turned out to ask His Majesty for marriage. That's more expensive than any dowry. Du Hengshuang grabbed Xiao Shiji's arm, looked up at his side face with a smile.

Xiao Shiji looked sideways at her bright big eyes, as well as childlike purity and joy, his heart softened, and he said gently: "You are very envious? - It's a pity that I didn't have the ability at that time, otherwise I would have asked you for a decree of marriage. ”

Du Hengshuang hurriedly shook his head. "Of course not." As he spoke, he gently put his head on Xiao Shiji's shoulder, closed his eyes and smiled: "You and I are ordered by my parents, and we have been set since childhood. In my heart, it is more important than the marriage of His Majesty. ”

Xiao Shiji's heart was warm, he lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead, reached out to hug her in his arms, and lowered his eyebrows and said nothing.

Thinking of today's incident in Prince Yi's mansion, Du Hengshuang said with palpitations: "It's really dangerous, and the little prince was almost replaced." He patted his chest again and said, "Fortunately, our family didn't pick a nurse like this." And when I was my brother and sister An. It is Susu who has been taking care of it all the time. After the child is born. All the way to the full moon, I carried it personally. But there is no such thing as changing children. ”

Xiao Shiji smiled disapprovingly and said, "Actually, everyone can toss in the house as much as they want, as long as they control the access control of the outer door and the inner door." You can't walk the big folds. Prince Yi's Mansion is like this. The East Palace is like this. This is the case in the palace, and the families are like this. The people who had the accident were not tightly fenced. Let the wild dogs get in and out of the way, and the accident will happen. For example, this matter in the prince's mansion, let me tell you, it won't be so serious at all. Since the prince wanted to pick the nurse who took the child in, I knew that these people could get in and couldn't get out. Xiao Shiji said very implicitly.

However, Du Hengshuang still heard some clues, and said in surprise: "How can this be? People are nurses......"

Xiao Shiji said lightly: "The nurse of the palace can only go if she signs a deed of sale." Do you think it will be serious? ”

Du Hengshuang was speechless, thought for a long time, frowned, and said, "Then the prince and the princess are deliberately demolishing the prince's platform today?" ”

"It can't be said that it was intentional. It's all about being prepared in advance. If the prince hadn't made a move, they would naturally not have done anything. Today's full moon ceremony will be joyful, and the guests and hosts will be happy and dispersed. - But the crown prince made a move, so their counterattack was particularly strong. Xiao Shiji carefully analyzed Du Hengshuang and taught her to see the twists and turns among these people.

Du Hengshuang nodded, "I think that's the same." After all, the prince and the princess probably didn't know that the prince of Lu Dao could do such a desperate job. But it's always good to be prepared, and to be prepared. He asked Xiao Shiji again, "What about Hu Qingliu?" What do you think the prince is going to do with him? ”

Emperor Yongchang gave Prince Yi the power to dispose of Hu Qingliu, and he did not mean to make him angry.

"Is the person behind Hu Qingliu the crown prince?" Du Hengshuang was very curious.

"It doesn't matter anymore." Xiao Shiji sighed, "Your Majesty's meaning is obvious, Hu Qingliu will be disposed of by Prince Yi, but the crown prince and the crown princess cannot be dragged into the water." ”

"What will the prince do with Hu Qingliu?" The most powerful punishment Du Hengshuang could think of was probably beheading.

To offend the dignity of the royal family, of course, the only way to apologize is death.

Xiao Shiji just said "um" and didn't continue.

Besides, he was worried that Du Hengshuang would not be able to stand such a bloody scene.

In Xiao Shiji's opinion, it is certain that Hu Qingliu will die, but it is impossible for him to die and be finished, it is not so simple and not so easy.

Hu Qingliu is a high-ranking official in the Shi clan.

And the power of the Shi clan, in the hundreds of years before the Great Qi, reached the peak of power.

They not only controlled the power of several dynasties, but also controlled the abolition of the emperor, and even a few people in the noble clan directly usurped the throne and became short-lived emperors for a few days.

For example, the Lanling Xiao family, who once wanted to pull Xiao Shi and enter the family tree, established the once famous Southern Liang Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River. Although the most Lu was destroyed by the previous dynasty and the Great Zhou, Yu Wei is still there.

Yongchang Emperor Qi Boshi replaced Zhou, and after the establishment of Daqi, he could only be courteous to the scholars.

As a result, if he was not careful, he let the Cui family sit in the court.

How to regain imperial power from the Shi clan is not only a matter on the mind of Emperor Yongchang, but also a problem that Prince Yi has been considering.

As the saying goes, if you are not in your position, you are not in power. But Prince Yi was not in that position yet, and he was already very determined to solve this problem.

On the contrary, the crown prince has been hesitant, not only wanting to take advantage of the power of the Shi clan, but also worried that the power of the Shi clan is getting bigger and bigger, which is not good for him.

If Xiao Shiji is not mistaken, Prince Yi will definitely take the Hu family this time, and he will not punish Hu Qingliu alone.

This time, what he wanted to establish was the absolute authority of the imperial power relative to the scholars.

Anyone who offends the imperial power must sit together with the whole clan.

In the past, the Hanmen Shu people were often planted by the Lian family. But he has never reached the level of the scholars.

Someone in the Shi clan has been beheaded for a crime, but the entire family has been wiped out because of this, and there has never been.

Because the scholars themselves are extremely powerful, and they marry each other, the relationship between in-laws is complicated, and there are many close relatives who intermarry.

If you really come to destroy the Nine Clans, all the Shi Clans can be wiped out.

Of course, Prince Yi will not take such a big step this time, and he will not be connected to the relationship between in-laws.

But the Hu family will definitely not end well.

This is the price of Hu Qingliu's humiliation of the royal family, and it is also a wake-up call for the entire Shi clan.

Du Hengshuang sat quietly for a while. Seeing that Xiao Shiji had not spoken. I felt a little weak in my heart, thinking of my every move today, especially the presumptuousness of the crown princess, and Prince Yi's reminder. In the end, it is not steady. Stretched out his arm and grabbed Xiao Shiji's neck. whispered in his ear, "...... Am I getting you in trouble today? ”

Xiao Shiji was slightly stunned, withdrew his thoughts from Prince Yi's speculation about the Hu family's disposition, and looked down at Du Hengshuang's anxious face, which was extremely suppressed. Reaching out and stroking her forehead, he said softly, "Don't think too much." You did a great job today. As he spoke, he whispered in her ear: "There are some things that it is really inappropriate for me to come forward, but it is okay for you to come forward." Well done, I'll give you your back. If I don't do it well, I have to support it even more. - Don't be afraid. Do what I want, I only rejoice. Speaking of the most reluctant, Xiao Shiji's voice became infinitely emotional, "I have worked hard for so many years, just so that you can live happily." You don't have to look at other people's faces to live. ”

But it's impossible to completely ignore other people's faces.

Emperor Yongchang is the Son of Heaven and rich from all over the world, and he can't help but look at the face of the scholar clan.

Of course, their Xiao family is no exception.

It's just that the higher you climb, the less you need to look at your face.

Du Hengshuang was still very apprehensive, and she muttered, "...... But I'm afraid that the more trouble you get into you, the more trouble you'll get into me. Su Su said that a man's affection is certain. If there is more today, there will be less tomorrow, and there is no time when there is an inexhaustible supply. ”

Xiao Shiji was stunned, thought about Zhu Susu's words carefully, and felt funny, hugged Du Hengshuang's body and shook it, and said, "Susu is always good for a while, bad for a while." In the future, let An Guogong have a headache. - As for you, rest assured, I rejoice in whether you are good or bad. You don't need to learn how others do it. What I value is you as a person, the frost I have seen since I was a child, not someone else. ”

Xiao Shiji's words made Du Hengshuang have an epiphany.

She has been going around and around all these years, trying her best to be comprehensive, but she can't be comprehensive. At the beginning, she wanted to make compromises, but it didn't end well. Later, he wanted to take the lead and make a strong move, but he didn't get a good effect.

Maybe Xiao Shiji is right, she shouldn't learn how others behave. What she wants to do is herself, Du Hengshuang, not others.

……

In the Cui family's mansion, everyone knew the bad news at this time.

They had already let out the wind, saying that An Zichang would definitely come to Luantai to choose a son-in-law.

But An Zichang slapped them loudly in front of the dignitaries of Chang'an City today, which really stunned them.

Cui Yingying heard in her embroidery building that An Zichang openly asked His Majesty to marry at the full moon ceremony of Prince Yi's mansion today, and wanted to marry the lowly Lang Zhong as the original match, so angry that she kicked the embroidery shelf in front of her to the ground, and said angrily: "What's so great about An Zichang? - Who doesn't know that the nine surnames of Lu Dao Zhaomu are all barbarians, and they are still fighting in front of our Cui family! He is only worthy of marrying Zhu Susu's lowly woman, and then giving birth to a litter of even more lowly cubs! ”

Cui Yingying's maids didn't dare to persuade her, so they all hid far away.

Cui Dalang's wife hurriedly came over to comfort her, and said distressedly: "Second sister, there are so many good men in the world." The day after tomorrow, Luantai chooses a son-in-law, and we will definitely help you choose a good family. ”

Cui Yingying said hatefully: "Anzi often humiliates me so much, I am inseparable from him!" - Sister-in-law, I'll marry Xiao Shiji. Even if he is not a scholar, I will endure it! ”

Last time, they originally agreed to let Cui Yingying marry Xiao Shiji, of course, the premise was that Xiao Shihe entered the genealogy of the Xiao clan in Lanling and became a member of the top scholar clan. Otherwise, they would not marry their daughter-in-law to a boy from a poor family.

"This ......," Mrs. Cui hesitated a little, "don't be anxious, wait for me to discuss with your eldest brother." Make a decision again. ”

Cui Yingying stomped her feet anxiously, "Sister-in-law! When is this all gone! Counsel too! - You tell the eldest brother, I really don't care if Xiao Shiji is a scholar or not, as long as he can fight against An Zichang, as long as he can kill An Zichang, I will marry him! What about the Hanmen Shu clan? As long as he has the ability and is beneficial to our Cui family, I really don't care! ”

Mrs. Cui looked at her in embarrassment, not knowing how to tell her.

Cui Yingying was born very beautiful, with a flower-like face and age. is the only remaining unmarried concubine of the Qinghe Cui family. Even a princess is not as noble as her.

But for some reason, her marriage has always been discordant. That hurdle just can't be overcome.

“…… The second sister, that Xiao Shiji, has a wife. You're going to marry him. Do you want to be subservient to others? Being a concubine? Mrs. Cui tactfully persuaded. There are many young talents in Chang'an City. Let's just say that the second son of Jingzhao Yin Xu Shao is also stronger than Xiao Shiji, and he did not marry a wife. I've heard. Xu Shao originally wanted to ask him to marry Fanghua, the queen of the Taiyuan Wang family. But because your third brother asked to marry Wang Fanghua, the Wang family of course rejected the Xu family and married our Cui family. - I think it's better to find this person, who is better than Xiao Shiji. Although the Xu family is not a top scholar, it is rare for their clan to compete for energy, and there are many talented and capable people. Mrs. Cui's gaze is farther, and she doesn't think highly of herself like Cui Yingying.

People who think highly of themselves often can't see where they are.

Although Cui Yingying was angry, she still listened to persuasion in the end, pouted and thought for a while, and said, "...... Let's see when Luantai chooses a son-in-law the day after tomorrow. Will the second son of the Xu family come? ”

Mrs. Cui breathed a sigh of relief, "I've made a post, I'll ask your eldest brother to visit Xu's house today to find out Xu Shao's tone." ”

Cui Yingying watched Mrs. Cui's figure disappear at the staircase, gritted her teeth and took out a pair of scissors, cut the wedding dress she had prepared to pieces, and threw herself on the bed and cried bitterly.

Cui Yingying is just worrying about her life's events, but the girl of the Hu family is not so lucky.

Prince Yi acted resolutely, and the next day he asked Dali Temple to quickly conclude the evidence of Hu Qingliu's crime and behead him to show the public. At the same time, he took the soldiers to raid the Hu family. The Hu family is full of more than 100 masters, all men over the age of ten are beheaded, men under the age of ten are castrated into the palace, and all the female dependents are sold into the workshop as prostitutes, and they are not allowed to redeem themselves.

As soon as this disposition came out, everyone was in an uproar.

Not only Chang'an City, but also the entire Daqi clan were stunned by Prince Yi's treatment of the Hu family.

There has never been an extermination of the scholars.

For a while, countless excerpts flew to Emperor Yongchang's desk, impeaching Prince Yi for being brutal and murderous, and shaking the country's foundation, asking Emperor Yongchang to severely punish Prince Yi.

Emperor Yongchang issued an order to appease the Shi clan gate lords, and at the same time ordered Prince Yi to temporarily close his door and think about it, and fine him for one year, which is considered a punishment.

Such a big thunder and a small raindrop made more scholars feel the pressure of the imperial power step by step, and they began to make small calculations.

There are those who "surrender" to Emperor Yongchang, and there are those who hug the Cui family's thighs more closely.

After Xu Shao met with Cui Dalang, he originally agreed with the Cui family's marriage. But the next day, Prince Yi's treatment of Hu Qingliu and the Hu family made Xu Shao vigilant.

On the third day of March, when Cui Jialuantai chose a son-in-law, Xu Yanbang, the second son of the Xu family, didn't go at all.

Cui Yingying saw that the marriage of the Xu family was hopeless, and she was even more determined to marry Xiao Shiji.

Mrs. Cui and Cui Dalang understood His Majesty's thoughts, and their desire to strengthen the power of the Cui family became more urgent, and they finally decided to give up the view of the door and accept a man from the Hanmen Shu clan as their Cui family's son-in-law.

But Xiao Shiji definitely can't. First, he not only has a wife, but also an eldest son. He refused to divorce his wife or give up his children. Second, he was too in the limelight in front of His Majesty, and the Cui family didn't want His Majesty to be aware of their intentions.

Therefore, the Cui family's Luantai selected sons-in-law, and deliberately found some low-level officers from the Hanmen Shu clan to come in, and used the name of "choosing a son-in-law" to investigate their skills.

After the end, he picked a Zhengqipin Cloud Rider named Satellite Peak.

Satellite Feng is tall and dignified, he was Xiao Shiji's subordinate back then, but he was not a personal guard, but only a relationship between superiors and subordinates. Later, Xiao Shiji was removed from the post of General Shenwu, and their group served under the new General Shenwu.

Mrs. Cui said to Cui Yingying about the situation of the satellite peak, "...... Born in a poor family, a good family, some money in the family, no father, but a wife, and two children......"

Cui Yingying was very puzzled, "He has a wife and children, how can he still participate in the selection of a son-in-law in Luantai?" ”

Mrs. Cui smiled meaningfully, "...... He promised to divorce his wife and abandon his children. ”
