Chapter 285: Zhulian

Speaking of which, Huang Qiong glanced at this second sister-in-law who was only middle-class, but because she was born in a scholarly family, she developed a second sister-in-law with outstanding temperament. Shaking his head and sighing that the appearance and temperament of his second sister-in-law are not inferior to Concubine Shen, but even slightly exceeded in temperament.

But his second brother is just obsessed, and he doesn't cherish the people in front of him, but does such things that are not tolerated. In fact, he was not controlled by others, and he was so tired that his family was guilty. Looking at her second sister-in-law, Huang Qiong, who had been silent for a long time, sighed and said, "The ninth brother will ask the second sister-in-law today, does the second sister-in-law know about the things that the second brother did?" ”

Huang Qiong's words fell, and Princess Jing nodded and said: "I have heard for a long time that the ninth brother is frank and not snobbish, and even the seventh brother, who is known as the king of chivalry, is far inferior. When I saw it today, it was as good as his name. The father and emperor crowned the ninth brother as the king of England, and he is indeed a discerning person. Since the ninth brother said so, then the sinner woman will ask her to come back today and call the king the ninth brother. ”

When the words fell, Huang Qiong's second sister-in-law suddenly turned miserable and said, "Ninth brother, if you say that the second sister-in-law has something to do with your second brother, do you believe everything?" I'm afraid everyone doesn't believe it. Sin less than wife and children? Ninth brother, this sentence may be suitable for others, but it is not applicable in the Heavenly Family. Now that your second brother has fallen, I'm afraid most of our brothers are eager to cut down the grass and eradicate it. ”

Hearing her answer, Huang Qiong asked the other concubines and a few children to be taken out first. After bringing her second sister-in-law to the chair and sitting down, Huang Qiong looked at the open palace door with her hands behind her back, the solemn Xiao cavalry battalion sergeant, and the trembling King Jing's family, and was silent for a long time before saying: "Second sister-in-law, to be honest, the younger brother doesn't believe it. ”

Although the younger brother has not been in contact with the second sister-in-law before, it can be seen from these few words that the second sister-in-law is also a woman who shows off her wisdom. Speaking of conscience, even if the second brother doesn't say anything to the second sister-in-law, at least part of it should be judged with the intelligence of the second sister-in-law. At least the changes in the house in the past few years, the second sister-in-law is the housekeeper, and the second sister-in-law should be clear. ”

"The ninth brother is really smart. But to say that I knew about this from the beginning is not true. Your second brother has never been in my room since he got married. It was the night of the candles in the cave room, and I just took off my headscarf and left. There is no one in this world who would tell his wife everything when he is so cold to his wife. ”

"He has never told me about things, so why should I ask myself that I am boring and take the initiative to ask? Besides, with your second brother's character, even if I ask him, I won't say it, but it will make trouble in the house. I would never be able to do that kind of splattering and rolling thing. I did guess from the changes in the house in the past few years that something must have happened to him. ”

"A prince and his family are controlled by a group of people of unknown origin. Not to mention going to other side concubines, even my cousin is the princess, and I can't get out of the palace gate when I'm free. If something like this happens, even if I never get involved in his affairs on weekdays, even if I am insensitive to it on weekdays, I have to ask about it. ”

Under my repeated questioning, he confessed the truth to me. I just learned that my husband liked my handkerchief handkerchief. The reason why he has never entered the room since he got married is that he is still thinking about that person. I even knew why his side concubines, even if they were not similar to that person, at least they were god-like. ”

After that, Princess Jing looked at the children hiding behind the side concubines outside the door, and smiled miserably: "But even if you know, what can you do?" For that person, he did such a thing that people and gods were angry about, and he was not even afraid of ruining his reputation, what could I do if I was a woman? At this point, I can't control him, let alone help him, so I can only resign myself to fate. ”

"For the sake of that woman, he doesn't want this home, he doesn't want his family, who can help it? It's a pity that these children, although they are not my own, are also his children. Even if the emperor spared them, they could only live in the shame brought to them by their father in this life. ”

After listening to Princess Jing's words, looking at Princess Jing with a dead face, Huang Qiong sighed slightly and said, "Second sister-in-law, don't despair. The younger brother just said that although the second brother is dead, he is the son of his father after all. The father did not decree that their imperial titles should be stripped off. Besides, although these children are not descendants, they are also the grandsons of their father, and their father will not embarrass you. ”

"What? He's dead, he's actually dead? His tired family will suffer for the rest of their lives, but he himself is dead. He's such a good husband and a good father. Speaking of this, Princess Jing suddenly laughed. It's just that there is countless desolation in this laughter.

Huang Qiong didn't speak, quietly watching this woman vent the bitterness in her heart. It wasn't until Princess Jing calmed down a little that he bowed down and said, "Second sister-in-law, please clean up as well." After his father's decree came down, the younger brother escorted several sisters-in-law, as well as nephews and nieces into Beijing. As for the holy decree before it comes down, as long as the sisters-in-law do not leave the house, the younger brother will ensure the safety of the sisters-in-law. ”

Looking at Princess Jing in front of her, although Huang Qiong was a little hesitant, she still gritted her teeth and said, "It's just a servant in this mansion, and the younger brother wants to take it away in one lock." However, several sisters-in-law can't be left unattended, although the second sister-in-law has some emotional problems with the second brother, but after all, she is the head of the house. Those people are reliable, those people are unreliable, the second sister-in-law is still clear in her heart. ”

In this way, each of the sisters-in-law left two loyal girls to serve, and the rest of the people were taken away first, and when it was confirmed that there was no problem, they were put back. Second sister-in-law, no matter what, you and your second brother can be regarded as a married couple. Now in the whole house, you need to support the overall situation. So, you have to be calm. ”

Speaking of this, Huang Qiong slapped her face. As his slap fell, Liu Hu's sister-in-law walked in. Huang Qiong pointed to the sister-in-law Liu Hu who came in and said, "This girl, the second sister-in-law should know." In this way, the younger brother temporarily left her with the second sister-in-law to help take care of the affairs of the house. As for the sisters-in-law, if they have other needs, they will directly order her. ”

Somewhat unexpectedly by Huang Qiong, Princess Jing's mood adjusted quickly. Although nothing was visible on the surface, it was at least temporarily calm. She opened a pair of eyes that could see through everything, looked at Huang Qiong in front of her and said, "The people in the mansion are at the disposal of the ninth brother." I want to ask the ninth brother now, how did your second brother die. ”

"Second sister-in-law, you and your second brother have been married for many years. Even if the relationship between husband and wife is cold, as the saying goes, a husband is better than a wife. The second brother's character, the second sister-in-law should know much more than the younger brother. With the intelligence of the second sister-in-law, you should be able to guess how the second brother didn't have it. Facing this Concubine Jing Wang, it was not so much a discussion as a forced question, and Huang Qiong could only answer truthfully.

After explaining the cause of King Jing's death, Huang Qiong arched his hand and walked out of the main hall of King Jing's mansion. After coming out, seeing that several children were timidly looking at their own uncles, who were still meeting for the first time, Huang Qiong stepped forward and touched the heads of several children one by one. With a long sigh, he looked back at the magnificent main hall, sighed and turned to leave.

He didn't look back at the women and children behind him, not because he didn't want to look at it, but because he couldn't bear to look at it. At this time, his heart suddenly rose, and a word "Zhulian" that made him very disgusted. What his second sister-in-law said was not wrong, in the cruel battle for the throne, there was no crime of being inferior to his wife and children. Cutting the grass and eradicating the roots is the common practice of the emperors of all dynasties.

Now that the old man is still in power, these children may grow up safely. But if one day, the old man is gone, what will happen to these children? Who can say for sure? In the eyes of some people, even if these children do not pose any threat in the future, they are a threat as long as they are in the day.

Emperor Taizong, who ruled the country in the former Tang Dynasty and became a model for later emperors to follow, also became a model for later emperors in the battle for the throne. These children are the nephews of the next emperor, but when you are the children of Prince Jiancheng and Qi King Yuanji, why not the nephews and nieces of Tang Taizong?

Thinking of the future situation of these children, Huang Qiong's mood was somewhat heavy. But how can I control the rest of the things? Just like King Jing said, he can't protect himself, so how can he take care of these children? Thinking of this, Huang Qiong, who was in a bad mood after seeing King Jing's family, was in a bad mood.

Out of King Jing's Mansion, Huang Qiong said to Deputy Envoy Guo, who had been following him: "You arrange a reliable person to immediately lead troops into King Jing's Mansion." Except for a few people left by the princess, all the other stewards, eunuchs, and servants were all locked up. Remember, don't let anyone go. ”

"All the stewards were to be tortured. Let them be clear about what they have done over the years. Also, tell your soldiers that the king will give the reward they deserve. If during this period, the one who dares to steal the money and property of King Jing's Mansion will not say that this king has broken them. ”

"Yes, the last will do it. But my lord, it's more appropriate for you to look there. In addition to the prefect and the soldiers and horses in Zhengzhou, the conditions of this Jingwang Mansion are okay. Let's see, is it arranged in King Jing's Mansion first? Anyway, King Jing's family only lives in a few courtyards in the backyard. Most of this Jingwang Mansion is now empty. ”

Regarding the words of this Deputy Envoy Guo, Huang Qiong frowned slightly: "Deputy Envoy Guo, do you think it is glorious to bully orphans and widows?" Now the father has not decreed to remove King Jing from the title of prince, he is the brother of this king and the prince of the current dynasty. If you do this, you are not afraid of being poked in the back, and this king is still afraid. The king's line is temporarily located in the yamen of the prefect of Zhengzhou. ”

patted the horse's ass, but he didn't expect to slap the horse's hooves, which made the deputy envoy Guo's face flush. With a wry smile: "Lord Wang, it's not the last general who bullied King Jing's family, it's really the yamen of the Zhengzhou prefect, and I really can't live now." Whatever you say, you can see where you go. ”

Hearing what the deputy envoy Guo said, Huang Qiong didn't care. After turning over and getting on the horse, he went straight to the yamen of the Zhengzhou prefect. It was only after seeing the scene outside the prefect's yamen that I knew why Deputy Envoy Guo had a wry smile on his face. At this moment, outside the yamen of the Zhengzhou prefect, there is almost a sea of people.

Outside the prefect's yamen, several scholars who make a living by selling words on weekdays are very busy. It is estimated that the people who queued up to write the complaint were all three miles long. Looking at the outside of the yamen of the Zhengzhou prefect, kneeling and holding up his posture, wanting to see himself, the ordinary people of Zhengzhou, made Huang Qiong completely dumbfounded.

The deputy envoy Guo sighed and said, "Lord Wang, do you know why the last general persuaded you to set up in King Jing's Mansion." These are the people's land, shops, and even wives and daughters who were taken away by King Jing's Mansion. They have come here to cry out for grievances in the hope that you will return to them the land, shops, wives and daughters that they have been taken from. ”
