The thirteenth year of Chongkang, the last day.

It was supposed to be the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve celebration, but in the city of Shenjing, it was full of weirdness, solemnity and horror.

Since the founding of the country, and even since the Qin and Han dynasties, Daqian has never heard of a prince of any country who was poisoned while drinking in the palace of this dynasty.

Appalling!!

What's even more terrifying is that before the prince died, he actually pointed out the two flesh and blood brothers as murderers.

This is the same root, why is it too anxious to fry each other!

This verse, which has made countless children of the Heavenly Family feel cold, sad, and heartbroken for thousands of years, once again sounded above the Great Qianhuang Court.

Although last night, after the arrival of the Emperor Taishang and the Son of Heaven, a ban was issued as soon as possible, and no one was allowed to spread the matter.

But where is the time?

When the chaos occurred, the news of this terrifying world spread out of the palace layer by layer......

On the thirtieth day of the lunar month, in the entire Shenjing City, there was no longer a single gentleman wandering on the street.

All the royal relatives, princes and nobles, civil and military officials, the family of the feast stopped, although the palace has not yet mourned, but there is no more firecrackers, set up a stage, hundreds of plays.

The red lights and colored silk at home have also been removed......

The entire imperial capital fell into an eerie silence.

But everyone knows what a terrifying storm lies under this tranquility.

Originally, only the founding prince Li Daolin remained in the Military Aircraft Pavilion, but last night, the six major princes were all announced to the Military Aircraft Pavilion and did not come out overnight.

The twelve regiments and battalions in the capital are under martial law, the Imperial Forest Army is under martial law, and those who have no purpose and are good at transferring more than 100 troops, the Yi people!

Lurking under the water, the CRRC Mansion, which has been hidden for more than ten years, is fully dispatched to track down the murderer behind the scenes!

Yes, there is a mastermind behind the violent death of King Yong.

This is the judgment of the Son of Heaven Chrysostom and cannot be changed.

Even though King Yong pointed out that he was killed by his brother before he died, the Son of Heaven believed that this was a dying trance and should not be true.

Therefore, the high-ranking families and the kings of the clan in Shenjing City are all in danger, lest they suddenly become the "mastermind behind the scenes"......

Daming Palace, Yangxin Pavilion.

Emperor Chongkang sat on the imperial chair, without a trace of fireworks on his body, and looked at the two kneeling on the ground with cold eyes.

In the hall, there are also seven cabinet ministers and six military aircraft of the Military Aircraft Pavilion.

In addition, Liu Zi, the prince of Yizhong, the great sect of the Zongren Mansion in the clan, Liu Chang, the prince of Zhengkang of the left sect, Liu Ming, the prince of Zhengjian of the right sect, Liu Jing, the king of Shuncheng County of the left sect, and Liu Zhi, the king of Shunqin County, of the right sect, are also on the right side of the palace.

The princes of the clan, the nobles of Wuxun, the Zaifu of the dynasty, and the supreme of the world are all in the Yangxin Pavilion at the moment, looking at the fourth prince Liu Zheng and the fifth prince Liu Sheng.

These are the last two bloodlines of today's son.

It is also a conspirator to love his brother......

"Say."

Chong Kangdi's voice was like ice ballast, and he spat out a word.

This word made the two princes' bodies tremble, and the fifth prince Liu Sheng cried and said: "Father, this matter is all to blame...... Last night, Erchen and several elder brothers of the clan had wine with the second brother, and later saw the fourth brother and Liu Shi sitting far away and eating by themselves. So Erchen wanted to invite the fourth brother to eat together, so he went to invite the fourth brother. The fourth brother and Liu Shi didn't want to go, Erchen was the younger brother, and he couldn't be forced, so he couldn't ask the fourth brother for wine, because Erchen knew that the fourth brother was the best wine among the children of the heavenly family, and he hid a lot of good wine. The fourth brother couldn't bear the minister's central grinding, so he said that he had hidden a few jars of century-old wine in the cellar of the prince's office, and asked me to get it myself. Erchen sent Xiao Zhuozi to fetch it, and after taking it, it was clearly tested with a silver needle, but after the second brother drank it, he ...... Only...... Father, it was the son who killed the second brother, the father, the son is willing to die, the son is willing to die......"

Emperor Chongkang on the throne looked at the five princes who "banged" and kowtowed and only wanted to die quickly, with a black face, and finally it was difficult to hide his sorrow.

He's also human......

The early title of the second prince Liu Ren as the king of Yong is to see that there is a succession between the princes.

Although he has a tough and cruel heart to the outside, he doesn't want to see his own flesh and blood cannibalism.

But I didn't expect it......

Seeing the fourth prince Liu Zhengran, he grabbed Liu Sheng and said: "Fifth brother, the wine is my brother's wine, although you have always been stubborn, you are good with the two elder brothers, and Xiao Zhuozi is not your person, no matter how strange it is, I can't blame you......"

Emperor Chongkang's eyes were like knives looking at this fourth son who had admired his ninth uncle since childhood, and said coldly: "That's you?" ”

The fourth prince, Liu Zheng, laughed miserably and said, "Father, son...... Erchen is not a god, but he knew that the fifth brother would ask Erchen for wine and food last night? ”

Prince Yizhong asked in a deep voice: "Fifth prince, Xiao Zhuozi is your person?" ”

When Liu Sheng heard this, he hesitated......

Seeing this, Emperor Chongkang shouted angrily: "Talk back! ”

After Liu Sheng was excited, he whispered: "No, it's not...... Father, Xiao Zhuozi, is the ...... in the mother's harem"

“……”

Chongkangdi was completely indifferent.

The cabinet ministers and military ministers seemed to be holding their breath and their bodies were chilling.

Empress!

Today's queen has no children, only one daughter.

Although the second prince was named King Yong, the government and the opposition knew that the relationship between the queen and the second prince was not harmonious.

Because King Yong's biological mother relied on her mother and son to be disrespectful to the queen, she was scolded by the court and died depressed under shame.

That year, King Yong already remembered.

And the queen raised the five princes who lost their mothers since they were young under their knees and treated them as her own.

It seems to be able to pull the strings......

At this moment, no one in the Warm Heart Pavilion dared to speak.

In this world, the most ruthless place is the palace.

From the day the palace was born, there has been bloodshed, killings, indiscriminateness, astringency, intrigues, and tricks......

But all the darkness of the world will be magnified here tenfold.

Here, anything can happen.

However, no one could have imagined that things would come to this point......

Chongkangdi, who has been sitting for a long time, has only two words:

"Thorough investigation."

……

Shenjing West City, Rongguo Mansion.

This year's Chinese New Year's Eve ancestor worship was completed in quiet silence.

Since this morning, I don't know how many relatives from the old world have sent people to deliver messages, telling the Jia family to be cautious.

None of the children in the family were allowed to go out, and all the drinks and banquets were cancelled.

Wang Ziteng even personally settled in Jia's house on the way, and sternly ordered Jia Lian, Xue Pan, Baoyu, and Jia Huan not to go out for half a step in the first month.

This kind of situation made the entire Jia family nervous.

In such a festival, Jia's mother just called Aunt Xue, Mrs. Wang, and Baoyu and some girls in the family to sit and gossip in the flower hall.

can't be happy, Baoyu is afraid that it is the most useless.

He was wearing a two-color gold butterfly wearing flowers and red arrow sleeves, tied with colorful silk and flower knots and long spike palace silk, with a round face and white clean, sitting sullenly next to Jia's mother, Jia's mother doted and coaxed: "There is a big event in the palace that pierces the sky, people like us are the most eye-catching, if there is a little difference, it is amazing, Baoyu first endured for a few days, and waited for this limelight, I will take leave in front of your master, you are good to play with the sisters for two days, you can be as stubborn as you want, okay?" ”

Baoyu was naturally happy when he heard this, and it could be seen that the sisters were laughing at him, so he said embarrassedly: "It's not that I want to play, I just want Sister Lin to come back......

Mother Jia liked to say: "It's hard for you to still think about your sister, it can be seen that she is a good child!" But didn't your sister Bao say that your sister is still taking care of your uncle, where can she come back at this time? ”

Baoyu sighed, and it made sense: "Didn't Sister Bao say that my uncle is unconscious and can't be an official?" So why don't we move back to Beijing together? In this way, it is convenient for relatives to take care of each other! ”

Mother Jia was stunned when she heard this, and then looked at Mrs. Wang, who said busily: "It's his own method, what is a child, I don't know that even if his uncle leaves Yangzhou, he will return to his hometown in Suzhou." ”

Baoyu said: "Mrs. said that it was reasonable, but I heard Second Brother Lian say that there are no more people in the Lin family's room, and the rest are some distant branches." Those people were very rude, and at the beginning, they even took advantage of the fact that their uncle was in a coma, wanting to occupy the Lin family's family business and bully Sister Lin! It was Jia Cong who went, beat them with a cane, and threw them into the prison of Jinyiwei Yamen, and the Lin family was safe. If she really let Sister Lin escort her uncle to Suzhou, she wouldn't be bullied? ”

Jia Mu was annoyed when she heard this: "There is such a thing? ”

Baoyu hurriedly said: "If the old lady doesn't believe it, call Second Brother Lian to come, he will not deceive me." ”

Jia's mother sent the girl to the front to call Jia Lian, and before long, Jia Lian came here.

The sisters looked at him with a faint gaze, but he didn't care.

After meeting Jia's mother, Jia's mother asked him what Baoyu had said before, and Jia Lian hurriedly smiled: "I was afraid that the old lady would be worried, and the third brother had already sent people away, so I didn't mention it." ”

Mother Jia said angrily: "Then the people of the Lin family's branch are such bastards, you have no way at all, and you have to wait for Brother Cong'er to go before helping your sister?" If he doesn't want to go, you just watch your sister Lin being bullied? What a good obscene seed, you can't do anything serious all day, you ......"

"Old lady, it's just a ...... in the New Year's Festival"

Seeing that Mother Jia was so angry, Aunt Xue persuaded on the side.

Jia Lian's scolded dog was bloody, his face was pale, and he said, "How can that?" I don't want to be angry, and I can't watch them bully Sister Lin to ......"

When Jia Mu heard this, her face softened slightly, but she still felt sorry for this eldest grandson, and after snorting, she asked, "Then how did your brothers discuss in the south?" ”

Jia Lian hurriedly said: "The third brother said that when the imperial court sends the new salt courtyard to Yangzhou, he will send a boat to send Aunt Lin and Sister Lin back to Beijing, and the entire Lin family will move over." These days, I've been looking for a good house outside, and I'm about to have eyebrows. ”

Jia Mu said in surprise when she heard this: "The people from the Lin family in Suzhou are willing? ”

This is not as simple as just relocating, Aunt Xue can move her family to the capital, in addition to relying on the strength of the Jia family and the Wang family, the most important thing is that Aunt Xue has a son, and the Xue family also has an heir, so millions of family wealth can be taken away.

But Lin Ruhai has no children under his knees, and according to the etiquette law, Daiyu can't inherit much wealth.

After Lin Ruhai's death, most of the family property was taken over by the Lin family.

This is the principle of etiquette in the world, and in the face of such a large family business, I am afraid that few people will be willing to relax.

Listening to Jia's mother's words, Jia Lian smiled and said: "The old lady is afraid that she doesn't know the majesty of the third brother in the southern province, he came out of the capital alone, let the sister of the Xue family play a pretense, but he rode straight down to the southernmost side, and saw the sea, and then collected thousands of households in one province and one thousand households in one province, good guy, and finally ...... in Jinling"

"Okay, okay......"

Although others have heard it many times before, they still listen to Jia Lian at this time.

But Jia's mother didn't want to listen to this, she scolded Jia Lian and said: "Unproductive evil obstacles, I don't know which of you two is the elder brother and who is the younger brother, you take his majesty as a glory......

After a good lesson, let Jia Lian get out.

Turning his head, he said to Baoyu lovingly: "Do you hear me?" ”

Baoyu nodded embarrassedly, and Jia Mu smiled: "That's good, don't worry, after the New Year, your sister Lin will come back." Don't be naughty these days, I annoy your son, I don't have time to save you. ”

Baoyu grinned, and the room burst into laughter.

……

After Jia Lian walked out of the flower hall, he tied the silk silk with the cloak on his chest.

I looked back at the lively inside, but I couldn't feel the warmth of home.

Just as he was about to leave, he saw Wang Xifeng in front of him leading Ping'er, Feng'er and several daughters-in-law and girls over.

Everyone who was originally talking and laughing saw Jia Lian standing there, and their faces were stiff.

Seeing this, after Jia Lian laughed at himself, he nodded casually with everyone, turned around and left in the other direction, without a trace of nostalgia.

What glory and wealth, what flowers and moons, what shrewdness can be ......

What does it have to do with him?

All he wants is a warm and caring home......

……

Yangzhou Mansion, the backyard of Yanzheng Yamen.

The sky is clear and sunny today.

In the small courtyard on East Road, in the bedroom, it was quiet, without a trace of noise.

In the afternoon, a ray of sunlight shines through the window screen, through the curtains, and into the bed.

The sleeping man on the couch slowly opened his eyes after his eyes trembled......

……

PS: There are a lot of debates about Ye Qing's character, and I really don't want to spoil it, but I'm sure that her ending, including the purpose, is different from all your conjectures now, so let's take a look......
