048, a thousand miles away
After thousands of calculations, Zhiying did not calculate that Cui Yi's destined exile would be half a year earlier than at the beginning, and the person who exiled him was not Cui Jie, but his biological father, Emperor Jianyuan.
Less than a day after the incident happened, before the truth could be verified, the degrading decree was sent to the Wuwang Mansion, and the discerning people knew at a glance that this was a premeditated suppression, and the purpose was naturally in the hands of Cui Yi, and more than half of the military power in the capital.
Zhiying and Bailizan guessed so many possibilities, but they didn't expect that the initiator behind it was Emperor Jianyuan, although Cui Jie must have made a lot of efforts, but without the approval of the emperor of heaven, he would never have made such a hasty conclusion.
Wuwangfu fell into an unprecedented downturn, the maid and the rice lady were pumping one by one, packing up the master's luggage and packing their own luggage, the Wuwangfu family has a big business, up and down two hundred people, can go to Ganzhou together, in addition to Bailizan and Xie Yong, only a wedding maid Xiaoqiu brought by Zhiying, and the grandmother of the royal gift to make the moon, even the nurse can only be found on the road.
"Madame!" Cao Qian ran in from outside the door, and when he saw the three carts of luggage that had been packed and organized, his heart was sour, and he said angrily, "The prince will come back at the end to pass the word to his wife, and the flowers are not red for a hundred days, and let the wolf be arrogant, he will always have a chance to take revenge one day." ”
Zhiying's eyes turned red when she heard this, and she couldn't help but cry: "Where is the prince now?" ”
Cao Qian replied in a low voice: "The prince is kneeling in the temple, the emperor punishes him, he has to kneel for five hours, and after a while, Guanglu Temple will come to check the money and grain stored in the house, General Dai has greeted his son-in-law, and he will not check it too strictly. ”
Zhiying nodded with tears in her eyes, turned her head and ordered someone to open the storehouse and load the gold, silver, grain and cloth into several more carts.
After a while, the people of Shilu Temple really came, a broad-faced and big-bellied man walked in front, and there were more than a dozen carriages outside the door, piled with sacks and straw ropes, and Zhiying couldn't help but sneer-it is good to have a traitor, and even the Wuwang Mansion has a clear understanding of how many family backgrounds there are.
The wide-faced man glanced at his mustache and said arrogantly: "Load the car for me!" ”
The subordinates should drink, like thugs and robbers, rushed in, and soon the large and small furniture in the palace, antique calligraphy and paintings should be packed and carried out, and the full cars left and returned empty, thousands of bags of flour, rice, cured meat and sausages, and even the half jar of plums that were pickled for Zhiying before the moon was not eaten, and they were also carried into the carriage by this group of greedy guys.
Bailizan whispered: "Since the beginning of the New Year, most of the income of the Wuwang Mansion has been confiscated like this, and the prince has really picked up a big bargain this time." Zhiying had the same idea in her heart, but she couldn't say anything, so she watched the group of people go in and out, and in a short time, she moved the inside and outside of the Wuwang Mansion to be cleaner than the rice fields after the locusts crossed.
A small official stepped forward and reported: "Back to my lord, everything has been cleaned." ”
The wide-faced man snorted, glanced at Zhiying with bad intentions, and said, "Princess Wu? Is there something missing in this mansion, every time His Royal Highness King Wu wins a battle, the emperor rewards a lot of good things, and this is the end of the move? ”
Zhiying held back his anger and replied as softly as possible: "My lord has also seen it, except for a few fallen leaves outside this house, there is really nothing left, although the emperor's reward is many, there are hundreds of people in the house to support, right?" ”
A young master bookkeeper on the side also helped: "Yes, my lord, I have checked it, and it is indeed gone." ”
The broad-faced man snorted, and still didn't seem to have the intention of giving up, when a small official ran from the backyard and reported loudly: "Report to your lordship, there are several fully loaded carriages outside the back door!" ”
Zhiying and the others changed color in unison, and the wide-faced man shook his sleeves: "Lead the way!" He strode through the hall and toward the backyard.
Xiao Qiu said in a panic: "Didn't General Cao just say that he wouldn't investigate strictly?" How do you ......" Lang Yue hurriedly made a silent gesture: "Don't speak, keep up." ”
The group chased the broad-faced man to the outside of the backyard, and the convoy to the north of the Wuwangfu was waiting, and the wide-faced man was angry when he saw the grain and grass in the carts, and shouted: "What's the matter!" There is a decree from the saint to confiscate all the family property in King Wu, and you dare to hide money and food in an attempt to hide it from the world! It is clear that it is a protest and a contempt for the emperor! ”
said that with a wave of his hand, he would ask his subordinates to pull these cars away.
"Don't!" Xiao Qiu hurriedly rushed to the front of the convoy and opened her arms to stop her, and at the same time begged, "Your Excellency, be gracious!" The prince and his wife can't go north without eating or drinking, so please open up the net and leave us some! ”
The wide-faced man said angrily: "What to leave behind!" The holy decree is the holy decree, and if this official website opens up and lets you go, who will let this official go? ”
Zhiying also hurriedly came to the side of the car, took out a box of fifty taels of silver ingots, and handed it to the broad-faced man with a smile: "My lord is merciful, the palace has been confiscated up and down, we just brought some underwear, nothing else, my lord let us go, we will have a chance in the future, we will definitely repay the great kindness of the adult." ”
The previous master also said: "Yes, my lord, everything that should be copied has been copied, and it is not bad to think about it, it is better to be a favor, the prince is the emperor's own son, maybe one day he will turn over again, then it will be ......"
The broad-faced man snorted, took the box of silver, and nodded reluctantly: "Okay, this official is not a ruthless person, you are allowed to take six carriages, and you must leave two." ”
Eight carriages still have to be deducted a quarter, this fat-headed and big-eared guy must be full of his own pockets, and he has to pretend to be grateful to Dade: "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" I don't know your surname? ”
The wide-faced man looked at her with a beard: "This official is a dignified Guanglu Temple, surnamed Lu, and named Xiaohe, you better remember." ”
Zhiying smiled and said, "Yes, yes, you must remember the grace of adults." "But I was thinking in my heart: When the old lady returns to Zizhang City in the future, if I don't clean up your whole family, I won't be surnamed Changsun!
It was easy to send the people of Guanglu Temple away, and the five people including Zhiying were guarding the poor six carriages outside the back gate of the huge Wuwang Mansion, and their hearts swelled with sourness, Xie Yong sighed: "What are the plans of Madame?" ”
Zhiying took her daughter from Lang Yue's arms, and said in a low voice: "What can you plan, take one step at a time," looked at the carriage and the hired coachman, and sighed again, "Such a little food is only enough to eat in Ganzhou." ”
Xie Yong asked tentatively: "Why don't you take advantage of Xuanzhou?" If my father is still willing to stand on the side of the prince, he will definitely lend a hand. ”
As soon as his words came out, the four people present were surprised at the same time.
Cui Yi rejected the marriage of the Xie family so clearly, and even Emperor Jianyuan rejected the marriage contract, how could the Xie family still be willing to support them? Unless......
Unless Cui Yi changes his mind and marries Xie Yuchan.
Zhiying patted the swaddling clothes gently, and her eyes were gloomy: "Let's go out of the city first, and then make plans when the prince comes back." ”
In addition to the six carriages for transporting things, the housekeeper Wang Bo also prepared two carriages for them, both of which were prepared in the palace for the princess and the side concubine to enter the palace, Bailizan and Xie Yong took one for the two guests, and Zhiying and the three of them took the other with their children. Anyway, if you stay, you will have to confiscate it, so it's better to go out in style, and you won't be able to sell it for a few bucks in the future.
I thought that the raid of Guanglu Temple was crazy enough, but when I arrived at the gate of the city, I was stopped again, and the one who led people to stop the car was actually the eldest grandson Tai.
Zhiying opened the curtain and saw that it was her father, and she still had a trace of luck in her heart, so she got out of the car and saluted: "Dad." ”
Eldest Sun Tai was also worried, and asked bitterly: "Ying'er, how can you be so ruthless, ah?" That's your own sister, how can you bear it...... Do such cruel things to her? ”
"I ......" Zhiying was just about to defend a few words, but Changsun Tai had already waved his hand, and he didn't want to hear it at all: "You don't have to say anything, Dad knows that you must be resentful of what Dad asked you to take away the child in the first place, you said that you insisted on giving birth to her, what's the use?" A daughter, what's the use? ”
"Daddy!" Zhiying was angry, "What's wrong with my daughter, my daughter is not a human being, shouldn't she be born?" ”
The eldest grandson Tai pointed to the door of the carriage, and the little Cui Xian who was hugged by Lang Yue: "You quarreled with your father and mother for her, and you were the enemy of your own sister, what did she bring you?" Will the emperor let you be the princess of martial arts just because you gave birth to a daughter? ”
Zhiying suddenly felt like she had been hit in the chest with a heavy hammer, and she was so painful that she was almost speechless, and Bailizan in another carriage on the side poked her head out and said in a solemn voice: "Lord Eldest Sun, is it because Mrs. failed to become the crown princess, is it not even qualified to be your daughter?" ”
The eldest grandson Tai didn't recognize him, so naturally he didn't scold him, seeing that his daughter's eyes were red with anger, and his teeth were clenched, he knew that he couldn't say any more, so he began to do business: "The emperor has decreed that no more than three carriages from the Wuwang Mansion should go out of the city." ”
Three! This time, even Xie Yong couldn't help but probe out, the limit of three carriages, Keqing sat one, the lady and servant sat one, and the rest could only take one cart of things? Are you kidding!
"Does Lord Eldest Sun have to kill them all like this?" Zhiying wiped a handful of tears that were about to come out, and asked in a stiff tone.
"The emperor's order is here, and he has to give it up." The eldest grandson Tai kept a straight face and didn't look at her.
Zhiying's heart was cold, and he nodded and retreated: "Okay, I understand." Xiaoqiu, Langyue, get out of the car and walk, Mr. and Xie Gongzi, the two of them can only ride a horse. ”
Bailizan didn't say a word, he got out of the car with Xiao Taoshu in his arms, Xie Yong sighed, shook his head and followed, Xiaoqiu pulled Zhiying's sleeve uneasily: "Madam, then you ......" "I also walk." After saying resolutely, he took one last look at his father, who had given birth to him for fifteen years, and then turned around and ordered three more from the only six carriages left, and the guards let him go, and the coachman untied the horse, put on the saddle and bridle and handed it to Bailizan and Xie Yong, and each of them took a horse and walked out of the city gate silently.
"After this farewell, there is no eldest grandson in the world, my father cherishes it, and there will be no time in the future." Zhiying led the two maids and followed at the end of the line without looking back.
