145. This is the end of the fate
Holding profits and using his own internal contradictions, he fished out Cui Jie's whereabouts and his confession that he did not hesitate to murder his own flesh and blood in order to blame his younger brother, and most of the people in the court did not support Cui Yi's usurpation, and when he heard Mrs. Fan personally admit that her man conspired with the prince to bully the king, she instantly turned her head and began to help Cui Yi denounce Cui Jie.
You must know that the most powerful thing about civil officials is the mouth, from Shanjian's fierce revelations to Bailizan's taking the opportunity to build momentum, Cui Jie's image of a filial son and virtuous monarch for a long time has already begun to collapse, and now there are a large number of civil officials to help scold, Cui Jie has become a villain tyrant in the children's ballads of the market in just a few days.
Cui Yi was very happy, and for the first time, he felt that the group of straw bags left by his father was still a little useful.
On the contrary, when Changsun Tai woke up and heard about it, he was almost so angry that he fainted.
If everyone does not surrender, then the first one to surrender will be scolded, but if everyone surrenders, then the one who refuses to surrender will become a "remnant", only waiting to be pushed by the wall and everyone will be pushed.
The poor eldest grandson Tai neither maintained the reputation of "loyalty", nor did he catch up with the tide of surrender, and when he opened his eyes, it was already the era when his former colleagues jointly condemned him, and it was a fate not to die directly in anger.
So he decided to play dead and wait for the turmoil to pass.
But how could Cui Yi give him a chance to play dead? When I was in the courtyard, I heard the imperial doctor say that Changsun Tai had fainted again, and then he never woke up again, not only was he not worried, but he also stepped into the door with his hands behind his back with a little interest: "Lord Changsun? ”
Changsun Tai was standing up on the bed, pretending not to hear, Cui Yi came in and glanced at him, turned his head and ordered: "The person that Changsun Daren hates the most in his life is me, and now I am standing in front of him, but he didn't jump up and fight with me, it seems that he should be dead, come and carry it to burn." ”
The eldest grandson Tai was instantly frightened, and rolled off the bed in a hurry, and the palace maids, eunuchs, and imperial doctors in the room all burst out laughing.
"Oh, it wasn't dead." Cui Yi calmly sat down in the chair.
The eldest grandson Tai was disgraced, got up from the ground and wanted to lie back, and Du Zhenquan, the great eunuch of Wansheng Palace, immediately shook off the dust: "Bold!" Seeing that the emperor didn't greet him, Changsun Tai, what crime should you be guilty of! ”
Cui Yi was in a good mood, and he didn't care too much: "Hey, I haven't ascended the throne yet, and the eldest grandson is an elder, so it doesn't matter if you don't bow or not." ”
The eldest grandson Tai was only wearing a single dress, and when he heard this, his eyes rolled and he began to pick thorns: "Since you haven't ascended the throne yet, how can you call yourself 'I'?" As the eldest son of Emperor Jingzong, the prince did not abide by the ancestral etiquette......"
Cui Yi's good mood was ruined in an instant, and his face collapsed: "Eldest Sun Tai, you are tired of living!" You are also in charge of my affairs? ”
The eldest grandson Tai raised his head: "Since the old minister is the elder of the prince......"
Cui Yi slammed the teacup he had just picked up on the ground with a "bang", and roared angrily: "Drag it out, twenty boards!" ”
Changsun Tai was panicked now, and while shouting for the emperor to spare his life, he was dragged out, and the eunuch dragged a bench, pressed him up, and hit the three-finger-wide board, and Changsun Tai's voice suddenly changed tone.
Cui Yi muttered stupidly, "Toast and don't eat and drink", symbolically making people stop after two or three boards, where did Changsun Tai suffer this crime, even if it was only two or three times, it was enough to choke, and after the eunuchs stopped, he rolled down from the bench and lay on the ground panting.
"What's going on? How do people lie on their stomachs in the yard? At this moment, the holding profit came.
Cui Yi did not ascend the throne, and she naturally did not implement the queen, but this did not prevent her from wearing a mother's demeanor in the world, as soon as the eldest grandson Tai looked up, he saw that the eldest daughter was wearing a golden Tianzi, wearing a golden and red robe, and the phoenix embroidered with gold and silver silk thread on the skirt spread her wings.
The eldest grandson Tai held his back with one hand and got up embarrassed: "Daughter, ......"
Zhi Ying suddenly smiled: "Lord Eldest Sun is sick and confused? How can there be any of your daughters here, why haven't you seen this palace? ”
The eldest grandson Tai was speechless, knelt on the ground and was at a loss, and waved his hand: "Xiaoqiu, go and help the eldest grandson up." Xiaoqiu got the order and stepped forward and stretched out his hand: "Lord Eldest Sun, please." There was schadenfreude in that tone.
Changsun Tai glanced at her, his eyes were red and hateful, and he snorted and ignored it, Xiaoqiu saw this, and said coldly: "Lord Changsun, the queen mother asked the slave maid to help you, don't give the queen mother face." Changsun Tai was helpless, so he had to stare at her and let her help herself up.
"Why are you here?" Cui Yi walked out of the house.
Zhiying put away her joking expression and said seriously: "Sister Cheng is back." ”
After returning to the capital from Gong County, Cheng Fengyi did not enter the palace again, but went straight back to Cheng's mansion, which was already empty.
Cui Yi and Zhiying returned to Yaohua Palace together, Zhong Luhuan was already waiting inside, and after seeing the ceremony, the three of them sat down, and Zhong Luhuan began to talk about the past few days.
"That day, I accompanied Sister Cheng to Gong County by carriage......"
When he was on the road, it was about the same time, Cheng Fengyi was like an arrow, and he couldn't wait to put on his wings and fly to Gong County, so the coachman hurried overnight, and the group arrived in Gong County in the early morning of the next day.
Cheng Fengyi once followed Zhai Rang and knew the residence of the second elder of the Zhai family, so he rushed to the gate of the small courtyard as soon as he got out of the car, climbed the fence and shouted Zhai Rang's name loudly.
At this time, the door of the Zhai family also opened, and a woman with a big belly walked out of it, and said with an apologetic smile: "Zicheng took his father-in-law to the county to see a doctor, what is the matter with the girl looking for him?" ”
Cheng Fengyi's eyes widened almost instantly, and she couldn't lift it in one breath, just staring at the person in front of her in disbelief.
"I once heard Sister Cheng say that the three generations of the Zhai family have been passed down alone, and the second elder of the Zhai family has only one son, Zhai Zicheng." Zhiying sighed almost inaudibly.
Zhong Luhuan also had a sad expression: "Yes, as soon as I saw the woman come out, I guessed that this was the case, poor Sister Cheng just learned the news of Cheng Lao's death, and her daughter didn't recognize her anymore, so she wanted to go to her husband for some comfort, but her husband had already married another woman." ”
Cui Yi was even more direct, slapping the desk hard: "This Zhai Zicheng!" What an ungrateful white-eyed wolf! Cheng Lao passed away at the beginning of the year, he married a new love so soon, how could he not think about it if Cheng Lao hadn't appreciated him, he would have a chance to fart! ”
Zhiying coughed and reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the king of a country should pay attention when he speaks." ”
Cui Yi was furious: "The last time we went back to the capital, he betrayed you indiscriminately, and although he confessed his mistake and repented, but before he got out of Zizhang City, he almost sold us to Guo Ziyan. ”
Zhong Luhuan was stunned: "There is such a thing!" ”
Zhiying patted Cui Yi's clenched fist soothingly, and motioned to Zhong Luhuan: "It's already in the past, you go on." ”
Gong County.
Cheng Fengyi looked at the woman who came out of the house, and had already guessed something, but she didn't dare to confirm it, so she just stood in place and trembled. The woman looked puzzled, and when she saw that there were people behind her, she asked Zhong Luhuan, "...... What's wrong? ”
Zhong Luhuan didn't know how to answer. Cheng Fengyi was tortured in Beidi, but she still survived tenaciously, nothing more than because she was worried about her family, but time passed, and when she finally came back, her home was gone-Rao is that she and Cheng Fengyi did not have a deep relationship after they met, and they also felt extremely evil.
At this moment, an old lady's voice came from the room: "Wen Juan, who is here?" ”
The woman turned back and replied, "I don't recognize it either." ”
Cheng Fengyi was about to faint, Zhong Luhuan hurriedly held her shoulder: "Don't worry, maybe there is some misunderstanding." Cheng Fengyi nodded with tears in her eyes, although she also knew that there would probably be no misunderstanding here.
Soon another woman came out of the house, already old, with white temples and a somewhat hunched back.
Cheng Fengyi said in a trembling voice: "Mother-in-law......"
The old woman was Zhai Rang's mother, Zhong Luhuan thought that she would explain a few words, or at least apologize to Cheng Fengyi, but when Zhai's mother saw Cheng Fengyi, her face changed, she was furious, pointed behind her and shouted: "You go back!" ”
Cheng Fengyi shed tears in pain, her fingers clasped tightly on the fence, the bamboo strips cut her fingers, and bright red blood beads dripped down the fence.
Mother Zhai protected Wen Juan behind her, and said menacingly: "You go back!" Don't come back again! Our Zhai family can't afford to lose this person! ”
These words instantly angered Zhong Luhuan, and she said loudly: "Be careful when you speak!" What does it mean to not be able to afford to lose this person? Sister Cheng's father is a scholar, and her mother is a child of a miracle doctor, where is she not worthy of your son? ”
Wen Juan's eyes widened, as if she understood: "You are ......"
Zhai's mother did not show weakness: "What about Shangshu, what about the divine doctor, our Zhai family doesn't want this kind of daughter-in-law who has been defiled by other men, how far you can go for me, if you don't go, don't blame my old woman for being polite!" ”
Cheng Fengyi hung her head and cried silently, Zhong Luhuan was even more angry, and she quarreled with the other party with her waist crossed: "What are you talking about!" If it weren't for the uselessness of your son, how could Sister Cheng be taken away by someone else! Sister Cheng is the daughter-in-law of your Zhai family, the one who gave birth to your son, and she didn't make any mistakes, why don't you say you don't want it! ”
Mother Zhai sneered and said, "Now I know that I don't have the ability to dislike Zicheng, who was going to marry him in the first place?" It's obviously a bad debt in my own family that hasn't been calculated clearly, how can it be relied on on us? Three generations of our Zhai family have been passed down to a son, and they married a young lady who can't pick their shoulders and can't lift them, so it's just that they can't come back to serve, and they still have a daughter, what's the use? ”
"You!" Zhong Luhuan was so angry that she couldn't speak, Cheng Fengyi shook her head: "Sister Zhong, forget it......"
Cheng Fengyi climbed the fence with both hands, as if he would collapse to the ground at any time, barely breathed a sigh, and said in a trembling voice: "I'm sorry, it's me...... It's my fault, I haven't fulfilled my responsibilities as a daughter-in-law, I don't have a husband and children, I don't serve my in-laws, it's my fault......"
Zhai Mu snorted arrogantly, and said with white eyes: "It's good to know, don't leave quickly!" ”
Cheng Fengyi endured her heartache and said: "I am already in tatters, my husband doesn't want me, my daughter doesn't recognize me, my father is no longer alive, I will live again...... It's not interesting anymore. ”
Zhong Luhuan grabbed her arm and said urgently: "Sister Cheng! You can't think like that! ”
Cheng Fengyi shook her head weakly, and looked at Zhai's mother and Wen Juan with pleading eyes: "Although Shu Jin is a girl, she is also the bloodline of the Zhai family, I hope you ......"
That Wenjuan seemed to be a kind-hearted person, and nodded without waiting for her to finish speaking: "Don't worry, I will treat Shu Jin like my own daughter." Zhai's mother said viciously: "Take it back and raise it yourself!" From now on, the Zhai family will never have a daughter-in-law like you, and it is not uncommon for you to have children! ”
Cheng Fengyi suffered so many blows in just two days, she was already exhausted, and when she heard that her daughter was also disliked, she was suddenly angry, vomited out a mouthful of blood, and her body fell down.
