Chapter 43: The ancestral tomb is smoking
In the imperial garden of the palace, the eunuchs and palace maids walked with their heads bowed, Li Shimin and the eldest grandson and the queen walked through the court, Li Shimin, who was holding the letter in his hand, frowned, the letter was sent by Cheng Cheng Jin more than ten days ago, and the traffic affected the change for more than ten days before it arrived in the hands of Li Shimin in Chang'an.
The intelligent eldest grandson queen knew at a glance what Li Shimin was worried about, and tactfully knocked Li Shimin's words: "Your Majesty, is there anything upset?" β
Li Shimin's face was not very good, and he sighed lightly and said, "Alas... Guanyin, it is indeed a troublesome thing, about the eldest princess. β
The eldest grandson was a little excited when he heard this, and said, "Oh? What about beauty? Can the concubines take a look? β
Li Shimin handed the letter to Empress Changsun, and the Emperor Changsun, who took the letter, looked at it, his face disappeared with joy, and his face was suspicious and looked at the content of the letter written by Cheng Yanjin Zhaoren.
The good news of winning the battle at the beginning is very pleasant, jumping out of a wise and brave black horse, offering plans and making efforts to defend the city and defeating the Turkic army of 100,000, and it is possible that Wu Denian unjustly killed the descendants of Zuo Qianniu Wei Yin Sitong, and Cheng Yanjin, who is far away, cannot obtain evidence and judge it can only be clear.
But this dark horse doesn't seem to be so simple, it actually has a personal affair with the eldest princess who escaped from the border, and the relationship is not trivial, this is a very serious problem, the eldest princess is married to the eldest grandson's family, and now there is such a tricky matter, Li Shimin is nerve-wracking.
The letter mileage biting gold is very simple report, the cause of the whole incident is still unknown, but the eldest princess and the dark horse Yin Li have a personal affair, it is a fact that it is settled, the soldiers who returned to the DPRK on the border outside the Seychelles are fully aware, and Cheng Biting Jin really gave Li Shimin a tricky and nerve-wracking news.
After reading the letter, Empress Eldest Sun said with a worried face: "Your Majesty, this matter is very troublesome, and so is this child, why has it become so radical and unreasonable?" β
Li Shimin hesitated for a while while with his dragon beard, and then made up his mind and said: "Lizhi is indeed a bit excessive, this matter is a bit measured, meritorious service will be rewarded, and it is difficult to escape punishment if you have a fault, Xue Gao!" β
The great eunuch Xue Gao came and bowed and saluted: "What does the emperor command?" β
Li Shimin stroked the dragon's beard and said: "Check the case of Zuo Qianniu Wei Yin Si Tong's family, Zhaoxue Zuo Qianniu Wei Yin Si Tong Zong, and confiscate the Yin family's old house, and leave this matter to you to handle." β
"Whoa!"
The great eunuch Xue Gao bowed down and retreated, and after Xue Gao received the order to leave, Empress Changsun reacted to the meaning of Li Shimin's words, and the rewards and punishments were clear, as for how Li Shimin punished Yin Li, it is unknown.
At the same time, in the courtyard of the Jia family's mansion in Pingyongfang, Chang'an County, two people wearing bronze masks appeared in the study, and Jia Tianhou, the head of the family in his forties, closed the door of the study and greeted him with a smile, and two people wearing bronze masks took out waist cards to show their identities.
Jia Tianhou put away Shang Jia's oily breath, and asked with a suspicious face: "The two of you appeared in such a hurry, what is the so-called matter?" β
The bronze mask armor took out the secret letter and said: "The lord has an order, don't leave a living mouth, you can do it yourself." β
Bronze Mask B reminded Jia Tianhou and said: "Jia Tianhou, you still have two days to think about it, and two days later, Chang'an Shilipo will start." β
Jia Tianhou hugged his fists and said, "The two of you go slowly." β
After the two bronze masked men left, Jia Tianhou breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the letter and looked at it, his face became ugly, and it was not until the door of the study was pushed open that Jia Tianhou woke up from his distraction.
But when I saw that she came in, she was a beautiful woman with a beautiful complexion, about fourteen or fifteen years old, with a graceful body, not a flower, not pink skin like frost, and a moving charm.
If Yin Li was present, he would definitely be surprised, the woman in front of him was the stunning beauty who met the desert and chased him, and she was still holding the trophy knife in her hand, revealing a rare heroic spirit.
Jia Tianhou stroked his beard with relief and said, "Shi'er, you have been in the desert for a few months, and you have made enough trouble, it's time to get down to business." β
"Uncle, I can't see anyone alive or dead, Shi Er is unwilling, I blame my father for marrying and making a boring marriage contract...... "Jia Xishi pursed his lips and poured out his inner dissatisfaction, and his voice was extremely sweet and clear, which made people feel indescribably comfortable when they heard it.
At first, Jia Xishi didn't know that he had a marriage contract, if he hadn't accidentally discovered Jia Tianhou's collection of marriage contracts, Jia Xishi didn't know that he had a family affair, and after many inquiries, he learned that the family man was the Yin family who was wrongfully convicted.
Jia Xishi, who was very unwilling to confuse the marriage contract, occasionally seemed to be the news that the descendants of the Yin family were in the desert, so he went to the desert to find his fiancΓ© who had never met to break the marriage contract, but he didn't expect to go around the desert for several months and never find anyone, and he also cheapened Yin Li to see his naked body, fortunately, the chase forced Yin Li to fall off the cliff and die, otherwise his innocence would be difficult to guarantee.
Jia Tianhou frowned and snorted sternly: "Shi'er, don't mess around, you still have business to do, you come with your uncle." β
Jia Xishi reluctantly responded: "Oh......"
Jia Tianhou walked to the bookshelf, and in Jia Xishi's surprised gaze, he turned the bland candlestick, only to see the shelf wall gurgling, and a hole that only allowed two people to walk side by side appeared, Jia Tianhou was the first to enter it with a suspicious face, Jia Xishi hesitated for a while and followed him in, and the hole was slowly closed.
Outside the west city of Chang'an, a white-haired old woman over sixty years old, wearing a sewing and mending shabby coarse cloth skirt, carrying a basket and supporting a cane, came to the graveyard at the foot of the mountain, and saw that the weeds in the ancestral tomb were three feet high and uncared for, the old woman sighed lightly and put down the basket and started to pull out the weeds in the ancestral tomb.
Half an hour later, the weeds of the ancestral tomb were cleaned up by the old woman diligently, the old woman brushed off a layer of gray tombstones with a cloth robe, and the tombstone of Yin's grandfather emerged.
I think that before the Qingming Festival, the children and grandchildren were full of worship and were not lively, but now after more than ten years, it is deserted, only one of them is about to enter the soil to take care of the women and children, and there is no descendant of the Yin family, I feel sad when I think about it.
The old woman put out a shabby pancake offering, lit incense, and insisted on praying sincerely every year: "Grandpa, if you have a spirit in the sky, I implore you to bless my great-grandson Li'er to be safe and sound......
It seemed that the old woman had prayed in response, and an exclamation came from behind her: "Where, where, Mrs. Yin, Mrs. Yin!" β
"Mother, mother......"
The old woman was burned by the fried incense ash, her hand shook, and the three sticks of incense fried incense in her hand fell to the ground, the old woman opened her eyes and looked at the green smoke from the ancestral tomb in a daze, and two middle-aged village women dressed up behind her were taken aback, and ran faster than the people from the official yamen.
The older village woman knelt in front of the old woman, and said with a distressed face: "Mother, what's wrong with you?" β
The younger village woman was startled and said: "Mother, why is there green smoke coming from the ancestral grave, great!" β
The official who arrived at the back house hugged his fist and congratulated: "Congratulations to Mrs. Yin, the ancestral tomb is smoking, this is a sign of good luck, you see, the grass here is green and mountainous, and the children and grandchildren are prosperous from generation to generation, and there is a yao qi outside the elbow of the dragon and tiger......"
The ancients were more feudal and superstitious, which family's ancestral tomb smoked, it must be rich and noble, and the Yin family was really rich and expensive, the emperor personally authorized the great eunuch Xue Gao to assist the household department to check the household registration, it is rumored that the Yin family has been missing for more than ten years, and the border of the Yin family shines brightly and makes military exploits, and the emperor ordered the return of the Yin family's old house.
Before the official messenger finished congratulating, he interrupted the official messenger with a big remark on the scenery: "Don't run away from the breeze, dare to overturn the thunderbolt pill for the teacher and burn the ancestral graves of others, and see it as a teacher...... Oops......"
The official of the yamen twitched the corners of his mouth to find prestige, only to see an eleven or twelve-year-old Taoist boy fleeing in embarrassment, chasing the old Taoist priest who jumped like thunder behind him, but the old Taoist priest's chasing action was too much, and it was actually rolling from the hillside path......
