Chapter 44 The Hou Mansion Discusses Relatives
In the golden autumn of September, just when the joyful mood of the victory of the Northwest Pingban was only slightly calmed down, another incident shocked the entire Great Zhao, and it can be said that the whole country was in an uproar: Xiao Zhen, the ninth son of the emperor, was demoted to a commoner and sent to the southwest barbarian realm. The crime was drunkenness, disobedience and unfilial piety, and almost burned down the Fengxian Temple.
It may not sound serious, but Da Zhao attaches great importance to filial piety, and disobedience is one of the ten major crimes. Ordinary people who destroy the ancestral hall may be sentenced to death, not to mention that the ancestor of the Xiao family is enshrined in the ancestral hall! The ancestors of the royal family!
In fact, only a few high-ranking figures know the real inside story. Dragons have reverse scales, and if they touch it, they will die. What His Royal Highness the King of Jin committed is a crime of rebellion, which is unforgivable! It's just that as Xiao Shiyi said, Xiao Jiu refused to admit his guilt to death, and even the emperor was tortured when he presided over the trial, and he was also determined to be framed. On the one hand, those death certificates made Xiao Jiubai speechless, but they could not be the basis of conviction.
Xiao Zuo emotionally didn't believe that Jiulang could do such a thing, after all, his son, didn't he understand? However, the treasure of the Ten Kings has indeed been found, although it is mostly empty, but what is Jiuro doing there? I can't explain it. At least, its intentions are not pure. The most terrible thing is the remnant of the Ten Kings, who is indeed on his secret roster. Also, why did you die there if you don't take off the flowers? How many pairs of eyes are watching! These, how can he be at ease when he is suspicious?
Xiao Zuo has experienced the battle for the throne, so he knows too well. No matter what kind of person you are, as long as you fall into the vat of seizing the throne, no matter what color you are, you will be dyed black. In this case, he would rather believe in what he has than what he doesn't, and must not let anyone who pretends to the throne stay by his side. Even if it's his own son.
He's not dead yet!
So for the sake of royal face, he had to give Xiao Zhen a "proper" charge and sent him away.
Originally, Xiao Zuo was furious, and he usually loved the ninth son the most. It was inevitable that she was angry and moved to kill, at this time, Cui Shufei made a great contribution, knelt in front of Xiao Zuo for a day and a night, and her knee was almost useless, so she got her son's life back. What is unusual is that after she went back, she didn't say anything or do much, but became honest.
Liuli couldn't help but shake her head and smile bitterly when she heard the news, Concubine Cui Shufei has probably done two smartest things in her life. First, he took Xiao Zuo's heart, so his grace has not faded for thirty years. The second is that at this time, he was unusually not arrogant and willful, nor did he cry and make a fuss, but kept a low profile. As long as she gets even a little pity and guilt from Xiao Zuo in her declining state, she will become the biggest talisman by Jiulang's side. Otherwise, what if the capital crime is exempted now, the emperor is far away, and those who have a heart have a way to kill the thorn in the eye.
But as long as she is there, she still has a pet. No one would dare to take her son's life!
"The king of Linshan County is really a god, and all these things are within his expectations." When the glass master and servant discussed the current situation, Lime couldn't help but sigh. That look. There is deep admiration and full of fear. Fortunately, they and the King of Linshan are allies and not enemies, otherwise...... It's enough to drink a pot.
"Where is his expectation, it is obviously his purpose, and then use the power of light and darkness. Is it good to make it happen? Ruri couldn't help but explain. However, although these are what he wanted to achieve at the beginning, they can make Xiao Zuo. The so-called Son of Heaven can follow the path he secretly leads step by step, not bad at all, and it is not ordinary people who can do it.
"It's a good time to take a look at the snobs of Tokyo." Lime snorted and said, "In those days when His Royal Highness King Jin and the gang leader won the battle, how many posts did our family have to receive in a day?" Although the young lady is still in the filial piety period, after all, it is not that she can't go out, so the old lady and the young lady warmly invite the young lady to sit or visit the garden. What now? Don't say please post it, even people walk around the door of our house. Miss doesn't know what to say, and there are many people waiting to see our jokes. Those so-called noble girls, who were jealous that Miss Jin could be engaged to the King of Jin, can now seize the opportunity to fall into the well, and they are very happy behind them. ”
"There are good ones." Qing Dai is always so gentle and gentle, as if she doesn't have fireworks, "Didn't the fifth lady of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion secretly send a letter to the young lady before?" ”
"You also said that she 'secretly' sent the letter." Lime is not convinced.
Liuli shook her head, with a sincere smile on her face, "It's easy to put the icing on the cake, but it's hard to send charcoal in the snow." Now at this juncture, everyone has to avoid suspicion, let alone the Weiyuan Marquis's family? Miss Wang Wu is such a good girl, don't just wronged people. ”
It's been so long since I've been in Tokyo, because she has her own plans, so she lives in seclusion and doesn't interact with people too much. In addition to being familiar with the Wen sisters, they have a good impression of Wang Linlang and Princess Xiao Ya. It's a pity that she had a lot of things on her side later, and she was in mourning, and her friendship with them didn't develop, and she only occasionally communicated with a letter or something.
Friends have to get along, especially between girls. For this reason, although she admires and likes each other with Wang Linlang and Xiao Ya, she always has a sense of estrangement and seems a little strange. In this case, Wang Linlang came to a letter, vaguely comforting her, afraid that she would not be able to think about it because of Xiao Zhen's assignment, and I have to say that this girl's heart is golden.
It's just that she can't reply to the letter, so as not to cause trouble for others. She believed that Wang Linlang understood what she meant.
"The slave maid heard that the Hou family of Weiyuan is about to discuss marriage with the Hou family of Ning'an." Lime said very gossipsily, "It was the two girls Xiaowei and Xiaoru who said it, and I don't know where they heard about it, it's too powerful." After all, when they are still in the stage of pro-marriage, both parties have to hide something, so as not to fail the marriage and look bad on the face. ”
The twin sisters Xiaowei and Xiaoru are Liuli's bag to inquire, but since they set up their own door, there is no one to guard against and calculate, these two girls have less use, and Ling Hongdie has to do something else.
At this time, when Liuli heard this, she couldn't help but be slightly surprised, "Whose family are the two families talking about?" ”
"Miss Wang Wu and Wen Xiao Yuanlang." Lime rushes out of his mouth.
Liuli was even more surprised!
When she first came to the capital, people said that Wang Linlang and Xiao Zhen were a pair of lovers, and they were inserted into a stick by her, a country bun and a rude Jianghu girl, and later Wang Linlang explained that there was nothing between the two at all. It's Cui Shufei, who has been very sorry for her son Zhang Luo for a while. For this reason, he did not hesitate to frame her several times.
The Wang family is high, and in the case that there are very few generals in charge of the Great Zhao State, the Weiyuan Hou family is very powerful, as the only granddaughter of the old marquis, Wang Linlang is very popular. Naturally, the vision is also high. In view of the fact that most of the children of the nobility in Tokyo married late, I have not heard any news of who Wang Linlang is marrying for so long. As for the Wen family, Wen Hongxuan is naturally a good candidate for a son-in-law, but he has the arrogance of a literati, and not everyone dares to move forward.
How did these two people get pulled together at such a time?
Before, she designed Leng Yu and her aunt to fight each other, and Leng Yu pulled Wen Yiyun into the water, using Wang Qilang, the most unsuccessful concubine of the Wang family. That Wang Qiwen is not successful, martial arts are not enough, the mud can't support the wall, and he planned to marry Wen Yiyun in order to take advantage of the Yue family's strength. For some reasons, the two families have discussed relatives. But Wen Ningzhi didn't agree, and the Wang family didn't bother much, but in the end, the two didn't deal with each other very well.
Now, what's the situation?
What made her most suspicious was that she later heard that although Jiulang's case had death evidence, there was also living evidence, and it was Wen Hongxuan! He was originally a civilian member of the army, specializing in assisting Kuro, and later went to the front when the war was tight. At that time, among the soldiers who witnessed Jiulang and the Ten Kings and the Tatar prince in the treasure cave, Wen Hongxuan bore the brunt. What's more, he also testified to some of Jiuro's so-called eccentric behaviors. Although Kuro claimed that those actions were only military arrangements to lure the enemy into the depths, in the later circumstances, it was indeed easy to mislead and could not be explained.
Who doesn't know that Wen Xiaozhuanglang is a nerd and never lies. Therefore, even if he didn't say anything, just expounded the so-called facts, which was enough for Xiao Zuo to have deep doubts.
What role did Wen Hongxuan play in the bureau that framed Jiulang? He wouldn't be Xiao Shiyi's person, so what was his purpose? Or, is it really just a coincidence? Now, he is suddenly going to talk to Wang Linlang, how can Liuli not think about it.
"Send someone to keep an eye on the Ning'an Hou Mansion." Ruri commanded.
Others can get rid of the relationship, but Wen Ningzhi will never alienate her in order to maintain a consistently good image. Besides, he is a worm in Xiao Zuo's stomach, so he naturally knows that Xiao Zuo will not do anything to her, so he can't be a villain in vain. On the fifteenth of last month, she also gave Wen Ningzhi a birthday gift in a proper manner.
Regarding Wen Yinghong's questions, in fact, she could go directly to ask Xiao Shiyi, but they hadn't contacted each other for almost two months, but she was still a little afraid of seeing him. And Xiao Shiyi was able to endure it for so long and didn't come to hook up with her, she was a little mindful in her heart. What if, he's angry at what she said that night about Shou Miyasha? What if he showed her face? She can bow to anyone, but not to others.
Just like that, a few days later, after the punishment of Xiao Zhen was issued, Xiao Zuo issued another holy decree. No one could have imagined that it was to appease Ruri. Not only did Liuli not accompany Xiao Zhen to be assigned as those ill-intentioned people thought, but the "wise and kind" emperor also dissolved the marriage contract between the two, rewarded her with a lot of things, and claimed that he would find a good family for her again. even, expressed a little guilt for delaying her youth.
At the same time, Xiao Zuo ordered the temporarily imprisoned King of Jin, no, Xiao Zhen, who was already a grass citizen, to leave Beijing within ten days and go to the distribution place in the southwest.
Ruri was very entangled when she heard the news, and she wondered if she should visit Jiurou once. can't be a husband and wife, in the end, Xiao Zhen has true feelings for her, and she also treats him as a friend.
However, it had to be on the day he left the city, because Xiao Zhen was never locked up in a prison, but somewhere in the palace. can't be punished as a doctor, he was still a prince before he was taken the title, and even if he was in prison, he didn't really go to prison.
