Emperor Chongwen ascended the throne at the age of five, and it has been eight years since then.

And the future queen who was chosen by the Empress Dowager was Yang Lanshu, the eldest lady of the Protectorate Mansion.

Yang Jincheng and Yang Lanshu are dragon and phoenix fetuses, she is Yang Jincheng's twin sister, and she is fifteen years old this year.

The second queen of the Great Qi Dynasty will be a woman of the Yang family.

"It's because Yang Jie is dead, so the Yang family wants to send Yang Lanshu into the palace in advance." Shen Tong said.

"Vice Envoy Yang is Miss Yang's own uncle, even if this is a marriage with the royal family, Miss Yang doesn't have to keep filial piety, but she can't advance the wedding date." Xu An was puzzled.

Shen Tong smiled: "There was no one who dared to deal with the Yang family before, but now there is." ”

Yes, there was no before, but now there is, although it is only one person who has died, but it has threatened the Yang family.

The Yang family needs to further consolidate its position, and this time it depends on Yang Lanshu.

"But the Yang family already has a queen mother." Shrimp Head said.

"The Yang family still needs a prince, if the little emperor dies, the next son of heaven must also be born to a woman of the Yang family." This time it was Xu An who spoke, and he had already figured it out.

The little emperor is lonely, he has no siblings, not even a concubine brother, if he dies, then this dragon chair will fall to the branch of King Qin.

By the way, there is also a king of Yanbei County, King Yu and King Gui were both demoted to concubines before they died, but King Yan did not, so King Yanbei and King Qin's father and son are all people who are likely to sit on that dragon chair.

For most officials, as long as it is the Zhou family, whoever becomes the emperor is the same.

But for the Yang family, this emperor must have the blood of the Yang family.

The king of Qin and his sons can't do it, and neither can the king of Yanbei County.

"The Yang family's ambitions are too great, do they still want to control the government for generations?" The shrimp head is not angry.

Xu An sighed, picked up Azhi with one hand, and said: "Whoever becomes the emperor has nothing to do with us, we are now wandering people, and the top priority is to settle our relatives." ”

What about after settling in your loved ones?

No one thinks about it, no one dares to think about it.

Aji's leg injury had healed, and the wound had begun to heal, and new flesh had grown, which made him itch, but he didn't dare to scratch it, Fang Fei couldn't laugh, she laughed while roasting the hare.

The hares were beaten by road friends, and they were roasted very fragrantly.

"It's a pity that there is no river here, and if there is a river, you can catch fish." Fang Fei swallowed.

"Catching fish? Fish are to be caught, not caught. The shrimp head teased her.

"No, my young lady can catch fish, and the fish she catches can be big." Fang Fei was very unconvinced.

"Fang Fei, the rabbit is scorched." Shen Tong interrupted her.

"Ah, really, it's burnt......" Fang Fei exclaimed, and everyone laughed, and laughter echoed in the mountains and forests.

......

After crossing this mountain, it is closer to the capital.

It is common to see officers and soldiers passing by on official roads, and these officers and soldiers are not marching, they are escorting congratulatory gifts.

Shen Tong and Xu An went out day and night, and during the day, they often hid behind the rocks to watch these gift-giving carriages and horses.

"These magistrates are very rich, so many congratulatory gifts, how much money will be spent." Aji's feelings.

In fact, being a flying fish guard is also very good at making money, as long as you follow the right person, there are many ways to get money, otherwise no one will spend a few hundred taels of silver to rent someone else's job.

Shen Tong raised his head and asked Xu An: "How many days will it take to get to the capital?" ”

Xu An said: "Eight days is enough. ”

Shen Tong asked, "Are your family members all in the capital?" ”

Xu Andao: "My family is in the capital, Lu You's is in Changping, Shuangxi's sister-in-law and niece are in Tongzhou, Azhi's home is in Zhending, shrimp head, shrimp head, do you want to go to your relative's house?" ”

"I promised to give my relatives a pension and send them to the end, now they are living well, I don't have to go, just ask someone to put some silver for them, I saved a thousand taels of silver in the Jinbao money village in the capital, and gave half of it to them." Shrimp Head said.

"Heh, your kid only worked on an errand last year, and he saved a thousand taels of silver, you can do it." Lu You said with a smile.

"Where, it's not the reward I used to get when I ran errands for Deputy Envoy Yang, and I don't have a place to spend it, so I saved it all." The shrimp head is a little embarrassed.

"Where is your relative's house? Is it also in the capital? Shen Tong suddenly asked.

"No, they are in Qingxian, and they are almost in Tianjin, and they are not far from the capital." Shrimp Head said.

Shen Tong clapped her hands and motioned for everyone to be quiet, she said: "Since your family members are everywhere, why don't we leave tomorrow for the time being, and we will meet again when you settle down your family." ”

Everyone was stunned, although the purpose of their trip north was to settle their respective families, but they did not expect to be separated so early.

"Miss Shen, what about you?" Aji asked.

"I'll go to the capital to find that lady." Shen Tong smiled, she was talking about the wife, not her mother, which meant that she couldn't be sure that the person she was looking for was her mother.

In that case, why do you have to go all the way here?

She had to see it with her own eyes to feel at ease.

"But you are a little girl, the capital is so big, without us to take it, where can you find it." Aji said.

"It's not okay to have you with you, no one in the capital knows me, but you are different." Shen Tong said.

They are different, they have always been on errands in the capital, and there are many, many people who know them and have seen them.

The capital is not a mountain, and you can go out day and night in the mountains, but the capital can't, the capital can only come out during the day, and there is a curfew at night, and you will be arrested if you come out.

"Miss Shen, have you ever been to the capital?" Shrimp Head asked.

"I've been there, I've only been to it once, and I've only been to one place, or a temple." A smile flashed on Shen Tong's lips, but that smile was like a meteor in the night sky, fleeting.

She went to the temple, Hoshoji Temple.

It happened that the crown princess was doing things for her family to overkill the dead, and she saw the man, so she rushed over......

If she hadn't rushed out impulsively, if she had just hid among the monks and nuns and watched the man perform, then she wouldn't have died, and her mother wouldn't have died, but what had happened next?

She was just a nun whose martial arts had been lost and her face had been ruined.

She even needs the protection of the lamp extinguishing master herself, how can she protect her mother?

"I'm just a child, and I won't attract attention in the capital, so you don't have to worry." Shen Tong said.

Xu An thought for a while and said, "It's better to do this, let's take one month, and a month later, everyone will meet in the capital." ”

"Confluence? And her? "Lu Friend screams, are you still worried that something will happen to this little monster? If she doesn't eat people, nothing will happen to others.

"That's right, it's to meet Miss Shen. We don't have to worry about settling down our family, so why don't we help Miss Shen find that wife? Xu An asked.

Luyou scratches his head, is that so? The five of them are going to converge, but why do they have to merge with this monster?

"Okay, I'm for it!" Aji was the first to agree.
