Somewhere in Chang'an City, a carriage was slowly driving on the street, Peiguo Gong Zheng Yi sat in the car in a daze, after the defeat of Jingzhou, he returned to Chang'an for three days, and the development of things was basically expected: to go to the official and resign.

The southern army was defeated, and even lost most of the prefecture and county of the Jingzhou Governor's Office, as the marshal of the southern march, he and a number of major generals were punished, although it was the Anzhou army that used a mysterious weapon in the decisive battle at the mouth of the two rivers, which caused the collapse of the imperial army, but the casualties were so heavy that the imperial court always had to give the people of the world an explanation.

"We'll see if it can be resurrected for a while!" Zheng Yi muttered to himself and couldn't help clenching his fists, he had an 'adventure' at the mouth of the two rivers and obtained a 'magic weapon', and now is the time for this 'magic weapon' to come into play.

The carriage came to a stop near the gate of the prime minister's mansion, Zheng Yi asked the entourage to hand a post to the concierge to ask to see, and the concierge saw that it was the prime minister's henchman Pei Guogong did not dare to slack off, and he took the worship box respectfully and was about to go inside.

A grain of broken silver was quietly transferred from the hand of the attendant to the hand of the porter, and the porter was stunned and hurriedly handed it back to the other party and whispered: "This is unacceptable, how dare the little one let Pei Guogong break the bank." ”

As the saying goes, the prime minister's door is a seven-grade official, if an ordinary official comes to visit the prime minister, ask the porter to pass it on, if there is no 'meaning', then wait outside, but this Peiguo Gong is a regular guest of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he is even allowed to enter the house directly with the guards on weekdays, although now he has been punished and lost his official, but the porter knows very well in his heart that the other party will sooner or later 'make a comeback'.

The porter took the greeting post and entered the house after a while, and then came out and replied: "Please go back to Pei Guogong, Mrs. said that official affairs are not allowed to beak, and it is better to ask Guogong to meet the prime minister in person." ”

The attendant came to the side of the car and conveyed the words of the concierge to Zheng Yi who was sitting in the car, and Zheng Yi immediately took out another greeting box for him to hand over to the concierge. Seeing this, the porter was a little embarrassed, and after a moment of entanglement, he gritted his teeth and turned around and re-entered the house.

The prime minister's wife, Dugu Jialuo, was watching her young son Yang Liang practice calligraphy in the backyard. Seeing the housekeeper come in with a worship box, she took it and frowned: It was Peiguo Gong Zheng Yi who asked to see him.

"Housekeeper. You personally went to the door and told Pei Guogong that it is inconvenient for me to put my beak on official affairs, and the court has its own decision on major affairs. ”

The housekeeper said cautiously: "Madam, Pei Guogong said that it is not a business matter, but a private matter."

"There are only official affairs in the Prime Minister's Mansion and no private affairs, let Pei Guogong go back." Dugu Jialuo said undoubtedly, she knew what Peiguo Gong Zheng Yi wanted to do now, but as the prime minister's wife, she naturally had to think about her husband and not ruin the prime minister's name.

The southern army was defeated and lost countless grounds. Zheng Yi, as the marshal of the march, also has to take responsibility, and now he has lost his official position and resigned, and he took advantage of the prime minister's absence in the mansion to ask for a visit, obviously to give gifts, take the 'lady route', and want her to help blow the pillow wind in the prime minister's ears, Dugu Jialuo is not the kind of woman who forgets her righteousness and makes it difficult for her husband, so she decided to thank the guest.

After the violent death of Emperor Tianyuan last year, Yang Jian was able to become an auxiliary prime minister, among which his old classmate Zheng Yi made a lot of efforts, and there was this feeling, even if he was now disgraced, but after avoiding the limelight, Yang Jian would sooner or later use him again, and now the other party wants to visit her one after another, and she thinks it is too urgent.

"Madam, Pei Guogong said to ask Madame to take a look at the contents"

Dugu Jialuo put the worship box aside without opening it, and then asked the official family to go out to thank the guests, Zheng Yi learned that the prime minister's wife had no opinion, he was stunned for a while, and then sighed and went home.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the carriage came out of the road, it was caught up by the panting Xiangfu officials, Zheng Yi, who had turned around, followed the officials into the mansion and came to the backyard garden, Dugu Jialuo was waiting for him with a piece of paper and a solemn face.

Seeing the servant retreat to the side, she asked, "Where did this children's song Pei Guogong come from?" ”

Just now, she still opened the worship box and looked at the contents of the paper, but was stunned, the children's songs written on the paper were written by her mother when she was a child, and then sung with her. After she became a mother and had her eldest daughter, Yang Lihua sang like this, and then Yang Lihua sang like this after she became a mother and had her daughter Yuwen Eying. This is not a children's song on the bad street in the neighborhood, it can be said that only she, her daughter, and granddaughter can sing it.

Zheng Yi glanced at the other party's expression, and then had a plan: "Madam, the next official will go out with the army in June."

He began to tearfully tell the 'unbearable' past: in late June, the imperial army fought a decisive battle with the Anzhou rebels near the mouth of the Lianghe River in the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion.

In the midst of the chaos, he was torn off his horse by the rout, and seeing that there was no way to escape, he changed the people's clothes and tried to fish in troubled waters, and when the rebels collected the prisoners, he mixed in the crowd and easily found an opportunity to sneak to the river to run, but he had an adventure.

"Xia Guan saw a six or seven-year-old girl digging wild vegetables on the bank by the river, humming this children's song in her mouth"

"She's Eying, it's Eying!" Dugu Jialuo's eyes turned red when she heard this, and her guess came true when she heard the other party say this: Zheng Yi met her long-missing daughter and granddaughter in Jingzhou!

The six or seven-year-old girl is still humming a nursery rhyme here, it is clearly her granddaughter Yuwen Eying, what kind of life is she living while digging wild vegetables!

"What happened to E-Ying? What about Lihua? Where is Lihua! If Dugu Jialuo hadn't taken care of etiquette, he really wanted to grab Zheng Yi's shoulders and shake it vigorously.

Zheng Yi saw the 'original plot' in action, and even more hung his chest: "Madam! Xia Guan saw that the little princess was horrified and was at a loss for the rebel guards to find out, at this moment, the Queen Mother rushed to protect the little princess, and the Queen Mother also saw Xia Guan! ”

"Lihua? Have you seen Lihua? What happened later! Dugu Jialuo almost shouted, since her daughter disappeared in October last year, she has been thinking about it every day and every night, and she has sent people to search everywhere for a long time without a whereabouts, and now she has heard that someone has seen her daughter, how can she not be excited.

"The Queen Mother recognized Xia Guan, and for a while tears welled up like a fountain and smiled bitterly a few times."

"How? That's it! ”

"The Queen Mother was so emotional that she jumped straight into the river to commit suicide by throwing herself into the water!" Zheng Yi broke out a shocking news, seeing that Dugu Jialuo almost fainted like five thunderbolts, he hurriedly picked up the words: "Fortunately, I was pulled by one person, the Queen Mother was fine, but she couldn't cry"

This 'original plot' was distilled by him after meditating on it. To be pathetic, to be pathetic, to be suspenseful, to be suspenseful, is to be able to 'impress' the prime minister's wife. First of all, mentioning the little princess's 'digging wild vegetables' is reminiscent of the scene of the miserable life of the mother and daughter. Then after the Queen Mother saw him, she was "in tears" and wanted to "commit suicide by throwing herself into the water", plus the peak loop turned "was pulled by one person", and he had a play.

"Daughter, daughter of hard work" Dugu Jialuo heard this, tears were already shining in the corners of her eyes, if it weren't for the dignity of the prime minister's wife, she would have been crying silently, she always thought that her daughter was not dead after being taken away, but she didn't know how she was doing, and now when she heard that her daughter was going to commit suicide by throwing herself into the water, she couldn't help but feel sad from her heart.

Zheng Yi said that he was caught by the guards on the spot, and he planned to pretend to be crazy and stupid, but he didn't expect the little princess to say that his identity was unclear, this is because he often goes in and out of the palace, and Yuwen Eying recognized him, and the guards learned that they had caught a big official, and they were excited to tie him up and drag him away.

"The lower official dragged the traitor to behead the public at that time." Zheng Yi said that he was ashamed. "The lower officials are ashamed, and they kneel on the ground to beg for mercy in order to survive, and the Queen Mother is also begging bitterly"

'I know you're afraid of death, kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, the key is what happened to my daughter! Dugu Jialuo thought so, she knew that Zheng Yi was greedy for money and afraid of death, so when she learned that she was in Shangwan actively organized to defend the city and did not break through until the city was broken, she thought she had heard the wrong person's name.

Zheng Yi slowed down and continued, saying that the Anzhou traitors forced him to 'anyway' unsuccessfully, and threatened to publish the forged letter of allegiance, so that his family members in Chang'an were implicated, and used many means to force him to write down the true letter of allegiance and draw a pledge, and wanted to use it as a handle to let him return to Chang'an to do internal response.

Dugu Jialuo was not surprised that Zheng Yi wrote a letter of allegiance to save his life, but this matter could only be handled by her husband, and what she cared about was what happened to her daughter and granddaughter.

"Xia Guan wrote this letter, knowing that the festival was at a loss, and wanted to make up for it, so he asked to meet the Queen Mother." Zheng Yi's tone was low, he glanced at Dugu Jialuo and continued: "Xiaguan thinks that he will bring a message back for the Queen Mother no matter what. ”

Zheng Yi pondered for a long time, and decided that the order of this 'original plot' is very important, and it must not be said otherwise, otherwise everything will be over, and he must insist that he is missing the section first, and then he thinks of carrying a message in order to make up for it, if the order is reversed, so that the prime minister's wife thinks that she is making excuses for the loss of the festival, and by the way, she will be driven to the prime minister to 'repent'.

"Where's Lihua? What did Lihua say? "Dugu Jialuo cares about her daughter, and Zheng Yi wants to make up for the loss of the big festival and wants to make up for it, thinking about 'carrying a message', which makes her very moved. If the other party wants to use this as a threat, let her help intercede, it is absolutely impossible.

The queen mother has always refused to see the lower officials, and she couldn't help it, so she said that because her daughter was held hostage, she had no choice but to live in humiliation from the thief. I never wanted to be bumped into by acquaintances, and I had no shame to see my parents, so I could only do my filial piety for the two elders in the next life. Speaking of this, Zheng Yi was also teary-eyed.

This 'original plot' he studied for a long time before he could cry when he said he cried, but after reviewing it too much, he even thought that he had indeed met the little princess Yuwen Eying and the Queen Mother Yang Lihua by the river.

Dugu Jialuo heard that her daughter was so desolate, and her heart was already full of grief and indignation, she tried her best to control her emotions and asked what happened next, since the other party could return to Chang'an alive and come to see her with nursery rhymes, then there must be something to say.

"The Queen Mother only said that there is no Yang Lihua in the world, only Yuwen Eying, if the lady sees the nursery rhyme here, she will naturally know that the lower officials have indeed seen her." Zheng Yi paused after speaking, and when he saw the other party listening, he added: "Everything the Queen Mother does is for the little princess, and if the little princess is well, then she will not hesitate to be humiliated by the thieves."

"Silly child, silly child" Dugu Jialuo's heart was like a knife, and at this moment she finally understood why her daughter, who had always been dutiful, disappeared: because the little princess Yuwen Eying fell into the hands of thieves, Yang Lihua, as a mother, had no choice but to live in humiliation.

She couldn't help but think of Yang Lihua two years ago when she was angry with Emperor Tianyuan and was ordered to commit suicide, and after learning the news, Dugu Jialuo rushed to the palace overnight and kowtowed to plead for her daughter, until she kowtowed and broke her head and bled Yu Wenyun was angry, and now her daughter is also willing to suffer humiliation for her granddaughter, is this the life of their grandchildren?

Thinking that her daughter didn't know how much she had suffered and how many grievances she had received, Dugu Jialuo burst out of her mouth with a pale face: "Who is that thief?" Who is the thief who has brought disaster to my daughter? ”

"It's the second son of Yu Wenliang, the governor of Anzhou, and Gongyu Wenwen of Xiyang County!" (To be continued.) )
