Chapter 017: The Wind Rises
On April 14, the emperor who had been deeply poisoned, after careful consultation by dozens of imperial doctors, still had difficulty returning to the medicine stone, and died in the bedroom of the Emperor's Palace. Lin Shifan teamed up with Fengge University Shiwen Jiusheng to announce the death of the emperor, and the world was mourned.
On the 15th, the Criminal Department, the Inspectorate, and the Dali Temple three law divisions concluded the case of Li Chongwei's rebellion by thunderous means, under the leadership of Lin Shifan and the king of Yanling County, the Li clan punished the nine clans, and among the courtiers who were attached to the Li clan's rebellion, those who had been captured alive behad badly were beheaded in the city, and the adult males of the clan were all exiled and never returned to Beijing, and the rest of the family members were sold into slavery. The rest were exiled to the government and were not allowed to return to Beijing for the rest of their lives.
"You have never seen your uncle's methods. Whether it is the political affairs of the previous dynasty or the military affairs of the frontier, he has not been scared. Fei Minghe leaned on the couch on the Qilin Ruyi Tuanhua pillow coughing and wheezing, Ah Xiao and Chengye helped him pat his back on the left and right, and Guo Xiaoyi in front of the couch still held an unfinished decoction in his hand.
Ah Xiao is fine, after Wei Chengye returned home from Fuling, he saw his mother's spiritual position but behaved unusually quietly, almost dull. It's just that the two lumps of meat under the cheeks usually disappear at a speed visible to the human eye, and the thin cheeks faintly have the marks of teeth biting fiercely.
"But at the same time, there is also a rumor that before the death of the first emperor, there was a verbal message to pass on the throne to the king of Yanling County, and there were internal supervisors in the palace who said that they had seen it with their own eyes and heard it with their own ears." Guo Xiaoyi still seems to be unable to sleep and recuperate, his eye sockets are deep, and his voice is hoarse.
"In terms of this cloud-shaking means, on the foundation of connections in the court, and on the popularity of people in the army, Yanling County, as a marginalized county king, how can it compare to our Master Lin? General Guo is relieved. Fei Minghe was very clear about Guo Xiaoyi's worries, and with just a few words, the three people present had full confidence in Yuan Zheng's ascendancy.
Tuk tuk, there was a gentle knock on the door under the corridor, followed by the girl's soft voice: "Mr. Fei, Uncle Guo, Nuan Qing wants to play with Little Brother A." Ah Xiao's eyes flashed, and he immediately flew to open the door. Cui Yi entered the room with Nuan Qing, who was dressed in plain white filial piety clothes, and saluted everyone in the room one by one.
Wei Nuanqing is only eleven years old, her body is not enough, she is still chubby and soft, but her pink and peach cheeks can already see the appearance of a beauty, but because of the sudden changes in her family, she cried day and night, her eyelids were still red and swollen, and her chin became more and more pointed, showing that she had lost weight without eating and drinking every day.
Seeing that everyone in the room was smiling and looking at herself, she didn't have stage fright, she just stood on the spot, "Nuan Qing wants the grass rabbit made by Little Brother A." ”
After the weather warmed, the flowers and plants in the garden grew to the point that it was difficult to manage, and the Ah Xiao, who was temporarily assigned to "take the child", took local materials, picked the long cattail leaves and made up all kinds of gadgets according to the play of the country children, what rabbits with long ears, fat geese with long necks, puppies that can open and close their mouths, etc., are all made lifelike, but they bring a lot of happiness to Nuan Qing, and talk to comfort the pain of losing three close relatives.
"I'll take you to the garden to look for cattail leaves."
Ah Xiao immediately agreed, and suddenly thought of something, looked at Fei Minghe and Guo Xiaoyi with inquiring eyes, and then looked at Wei Chengye, and when he saw everyone bowing his head slightly, he couldn't wait to go out with Nuan Qing.
Cui Yi hurriedly hurried a few steps forward, shouting "Slow down, beware of falling!" ”
While loudly instructing the mother-in-law who followed, "Hurry up, follow closely, don't let the young lady fall into the water without looking, you are not allowed to go to the well in the backyard by the railing by the bridge, and the stones in the West Garden cannot be dropped...... "I ran to the gate of the courtyard, and saw a group of people turn around and run away, and then I took a bunch of herb bags from a daughter-in-law and folded them back.
This time, the decisiveness that I had just ordered the people to wait was suddenly gone, and everyone listened patiently for a long time, only to know that she inquired about Fei Minghe's cause, and specially asked Gonggong Qiao to ask the imperial doctor to prescribe medicine, and bought some tonics, hoping that Mr. Fei could recover quickly.
Guo Xiaoyi looked at Cuiyi's eyes flashed and didn't say anything, thinking that Fei Lao was sick and weak now, and he really needed someone to serve him. glanced at Fei Minghe, but saw that his face remained unchanged, but there was a thin smile in his eyes, and he slightly bent the corners of his mouth to say thanks.
Regarding the death of King Li, Fei Lao was extremely suspicious of Feng Sidao but had no evidence.
Even about the death of his wife, he suspected that he was in love with Feng Sidao, but the lights went out when he died, and there was no evidence to follow.
Wei Chengye found the girl who served Fei Minghe and took the medicine bag, and Cuiyi followed the little girl out, and began to babble again, using the most common unglazed black casserole, sitting on the small clay stove and boiling it for two hours......
Wei Chengye watched the people go away and smiled slightly bitterly, "So many things happened at home at once, thanks to her and her cousin's support." Uncle and Third Brother Zheng are so busy, and they have to take time out to come to the house every day, so it's hard for them. ”
"Your body, don't bother!" Guo Xiaoyi saw his expression, and knew that when he saw Cuiyi, he remembered the old things and was suspicious.
"Even when I was seriously ill and confused, I was severely punished, don't there be any clues among the living people?"
Fei Minghe once begged Guo Xiaoyi, Cheng Ye and others to inquire about Li Chongwei's old department, and whether there was any evidence that Li had a close relationship with Feng Si. The two were also ordered to inquire, and there were not many henchmen close to Li Chongwei, most of them died in the melee, and after a round of anti-party purges, the survivors knew very little about the rebellion, let alone participated in Li Chongwei's private affairs.
"I really went to investigate with Second Master Ye, but no one knew."
Xiaoyi spread his hands and glanced at each other with Chengye, both of them were helpless.
Fei Minghe and Feng Sidao had a bad relationship, which was not a secret in the Huaiyuan army, and the strange feeling of Wang Feng's cold, and Feng Sidao and Feng Sidao were both buried in the fire, which would inevitably make Fei Minghe suspicious.
