Although Empress Dowager Jiang is out of danger, her spirit is still not good, and her voice is a little hoarse, probably because her throat was injured by cigarettes, and it is impossible to return to normal in a short period of time. When Jiajing saw his mother like this, his mood was a little low, but the Empress Dowager Jiang smiled, comforted her son, and urged him to deal with the twists and turns quickly, not to abolish the public for personal reasons, and only leave Yang Chengzu behind.

After Jiajing left, the palace people who served were also kicked out, and only Yang Chengzu and Yongshou were left in the room. Yang Chengzu knew that what should come would always come, and without waiting for Jiang to speak, he had already knelt on the ground first, "Queen Mother, the minister is guilty of capital crimes, please punish the Queen Mother." However, this matter has nothing to do with Xiuchang, please don't blame her for the Queen Mother. ”

Yongshou also knelt down against Yang Chengzu without saying a word, Jiang looked at the two of them, and finally sighed, "Injustice, all injustice." Her voice was hoarse, and with a little effort, she still coughed violently. Yongshou hurriedly got up, pounded his mother's back, and brought the medicinal soup again.

Jiang Shi pondered for a long time before saying: "Chengzu, in fact, when you went to Sanguan Town to save people, the mourning family also thought in their hearts whether there was any personal relationship between you and Xiu Chang. But then I felt that this kind of idea is too ridiculous, you are a child who knows the general situation and knows the importance of it, Xiu Chang...... She's also a mourner who doesn't have to worry about it. Between you, you won't do anything to worry about the mourners, who knows you...... You guys actually. Really, Zhang's side, bring this news over, the mourning family knows that they don't have any good intentions, but this thing is done by you after all. God-given, it's also Xiu Changsheng's, right? The mourning family still wants her to be a righteous son of a moth, and now that she thinks about it, it's a joke. ”

"The queen mother, it is the son's retainer who behaves absurdly, and it is not about the ancestors, just punish the son-in-law." Zhu Xiuchang had been scolded before, there were still tears on her face, and her eyes were a little swollen, but at this time, she still knelt down again, confessed her crime to her mother, and at the same time exonerated Yang Chengzu.

"You know, Erchen has always been willful, just like when he fell in love with Wan Jiashu and didn't want to marry Wu Jinghe, and later fell in love with Yang Lang, he gave birth to a son for him regardless of it, and never thought about the consequences or anything. I didn't expect that it would disgrace the queen mother, Yang Lang is the emperor's brother's golden beam, even if it is for the sake of the country, I also asked the queen mother to raise her noble hand and spare Yang Lang's life. The retainer was willing to die for him. ”

"Don't speak, get on your knees." Jiang coughed a few times and stared at Yang Chengzu, "Chengzu, the mourning family once wanted to recognize you as a moth, and you are also a very good friend with your mother Liu." Speaking of which, Yongshou is like your sister, and Yongchun is like your sister. But you...... How could you do such a thing to your sister? Even if Yongshou is moved, you should be able to hold it. You are so messy, the mourning family is very disappointed. ”

"Queen Mother, this is not about eternal longevity and a thousand years old, it is that when Wei Chen saw a thousand years old, he was shocked as a celestial, and he couldn't control himself from then on. By all means, many means were used, and in the end we became a good thing. If you want to blame, it is all the fault of the minister, and the minister is willing to be punished for this matter. ”

"Don't be a mourner, don't dare to punish you!" Jiang's face was gloomy, although his health was very poor, he still had the majesty of the queen mother. "The Ming Dynasty has never lacked officials who can do things, although you have some means to act, but the court is not inseparable from you. As long as the mourning family says a word, they can let the palace people beat you to death, even if it is long live, they can't save you, you should understand this, right? I also know that it is difficult for you to be a strong man, even if it is the Marquis of Wuding's mansion, he will not agree. Now the mourning family gives you two ways, the first is that you promise in front of the mourning family that you and Yongshou will never meet again, and let the past pass, and the two of you will not have any more contact in the future. The second way is to mourn the family to give you and eternal life to die, and when you die, you will be buried together, so that you can be a husband and wife after death, you can choose for yourself. ”

Yongshou wanted to ask for mercy, but was stopped by the Queen Mother's ruthless gaze, looked at Yang Chengzu with tears in his eyes, stretched out a finger, and asked him to choose the first path. Yang Chengzu smiled at her, and kowtowed to the Queen Mother, "Thank you to the Queen Mother for becoming a minister and Xiuchang, speaking of which, Xiuchang gave birth to a son for the minister, but the minister couldn't give her the title, and the minister failed her." If she can sleep with Xiu Chang in the same cave after death, it can be regarded as a little compensation for her, and the minister chooses the second way and is willing to die with Xiu Chang. ”

Jiang Shi looked at him for a long time, and then asked, "You have decided, don't regret it?" There are still many things waiting for you to do in the court, what will happen to you after you die? What about your small family, your wife and children? ”

"I will never regret it. As for those things, the Chinese Wu Qunchen of the dynasty has many talents, there are not many ministers, and there are not many ministers. They will replace the ministers, continue to assist Banzai, and get things done. As for the minister's family, with the care of Banzai and the Queen Mother, I don't think they will suffer any grievances, even if the minister is guilty, but God, it is still your grandson, Banzai's nephew, with you and Banzai taking care of them, they will live very well. ”

The room fell silent again, silent, and a pin could be heard as it fell to the ground. I don't know how long it took, but I just heard Jiang sigh leisurely, "That's it!" This is all the injustice of the previous life, you two, sit down and talk. ”

The matter is clear, but the two have no scruples, Zhu Xiuchang sat beside Yang Chengzu generously, and the hands of the two were clasped tightly, and they were not separated at all times. Jiang Shi saw the two of them being close, and couldn't help but sigh: "This is all the injustice planted in the previous life, and this life has become like this." In the heart of the mourning family, she has always felt that she can't live with Xiuchang, she doesn't like that guest of honor, and the mourning family also knows that she is not a good person, but what can the mourning family do? Later, she supported the royal family's business, but also suffered a lot of sins, suffered a lot, and suffered a lot of material discussions, and the mourning family also remembered it in her heart. When she entered Beijing, she was still working hard to support the portal for this family business, and offended the Zhang family, in fact, it was also for Xiuyan and to make money for the Son of Heaven. ”

She looked at Yang Chengzu again, "As for you, the reason why the Zhang family hates you is very clear to the mourning family." They first got the matter of your dealings with Xiuchang and threatened you, asking you to fulfill Zhang Wenfeng's concubine, but not only did you not agree, but instead put Zhang Wenfeng in prison. Naturally, they have to find a way to get rid of you, otherwise how will they swallow this breath. But if this matter is caused by the Son of Heaven, there is no evidence, and maybe, Banzai will shield you. The mourning family, a mother, can't tolerate her daughter, being raised by a minister as an outer room, but it is the most likely to kill you, when I first heard this, the mourning family did think about beheading you. ”

But later, the mourning family thought about it again, but felt that since Wu Jinghe's death, although Xiu Chang has come to the palace less often, every time she looks at her, she has become very happy, and she is completely like a different person from the past. Since she feels happy, then everything is fine. ”

When Jiang said this, he glanced at Zhu Xiuchang, "Sit next to my mother, even if my mother agrees with your affairs, there must be a rule, even if he is a colt, he will not dare to be so presumptuous." ”

Zhu Xiuchang obediently sat beside Jiang and slapped her shoulder, and Jiang pointed at Yang Chengzu again, "You also come over and help the mourning family beat it." It seems that my daughter didn't choose the wrong person, but her life was not good. If you had come to the palace as a guest of honor a few years earlier, she would not have had to suffer this. ”

Yang Chengzu came to Jiang's side with a happy heart, and together with Yongshou, he gently beat Jiang's family, and his hanging heart was also put down, and his relationship with Yongshou was finally licensed in front of the Queen Mother, and the two of them would be regarded as legitimate Sitong in the future.
