Chapter 848: The Old Man of Linjiang
In addition to Huayu, the mother concubine also has a maid named "Xiao Cheng", these two followed the mother into the palace together, Xiao Cheng "stumbled" into the lake in the palace a few years ago and drowned.
Xiaoyu and Shuangcheng are the maids of the Western Queen Mother in mythology, and the blue bird is the sacred bird that feeds and transmits the message for the Western Queen Mother, so the third master feels that Qingxin's name should be given to him by his mother.
Hua Concubine shook her head, "No, when he came to me, he was called by this name." ”
Hua Yu came in with tea, the third master didn't speak again, and sat for a while before leaving Chonghua Palace. On the way to Tianzhang Pavilion, the third master saw Dexi walking slowly.
It had snowed heavily the night before, and although the snow had been swept away by the eunuchs, a thick layer of frost had condensed on the bluestone slabs that could not be exposed to the sun, and you had to walk carefully.
Dexi saw the third master, respectfully stopped aside, and waited for the third master to walk in to salute and say hello.
The third master stopped and asked, "Where is my father-in-law?" ”
Dexi smiled, "I heard that the letter from the little grass girl was delivered, and the saint ordered the villain to take it and take a look." ”
The third master asked quietly, "Take them all?" ”
The relationship between King Sheng and Concubine Hua's mother and son seems to have changed for the better. Dexi laughed even more, "The villain will take the new letter away, and the first few letters will be sent back with the painting later, and handed over to the mother for evaluation and reply." ”
The third master nodded, "My father-in-law is thoughtful and tired." ”
"This is the duty of the old slave, and I don't dare to praise him as a prince." Dexi saw that he had really won the favor of King Sheng, and smiled like the bark of an old tree that bloomed plum blossoms in the snow.
Layue, there are a lot of envoys who come to Beijing to congratulate and pay tribute, and the third master is busy with the affairs of Tianzhang Pavilion, but also helps the second brother to run the errand of receiving the envoys.
Along with the letter, there was also a white-haired old man.
This old man is the old slave of the Yang family of Yanniao Mountain who is married to his mother, Uncle Yang. When the Yang family was capsized on the way back to Yanniao Mountain from Pingxi, Yang Bo came to the funeral from Yanniao Mountain, and after helping the body of the owner's family to return to his hometown for burial, Hua Yuanhuai, who went with him, settled him back to his hometown to care for the elderly.
Hua Yuanhuai took the letter from his nephew and carefully recalled the appearance of Qingxin. He entered the palace when the sixth princess died, and he had seen Qingxin once, and he was sure that he had not seen this person before.
However, just in case, Hua Yuanhuai sent someone to pick up Yang Bo at Yanniao Mountain in Chaozhou, sent him to the capital, and asked him to help identify whether Qingxin, the great eunuch next to his sister, was someone from the Yang family.
"It will never be the young master of my family, the young master was buried by the old slave himself. Two days after the capsizing, when the old slave found the body of the young master in the lower reaches of the river, although it was swollen by the water, the old slave still recognized the appearance of the young master of my family. The knife wound on the young master's back is so long...... "Although more than 20 years have passed, when it comes to the events of the year, Uncle Yang still can't hide his sadness. The death of the Yang family is really unjust.
The third master nodded, and asked the Yang family if there were any men in their forties, and described Qingxin's appearance.
The Yang family is also a big family in Yanniao Mountain, and there are many people in the same clan, and Yang Bo can't say anything based on these descriptions. The third master ordered someone to settle him down, instructed someone to paint a portrait of Qingxin, and then carefully read the letter from his uncle, which told the events of the year in detail. If it weren't for the third master to ask, Hua Yuanhuai would definitely not mention it, because he didn't want his nephew to know about his grievances back then.
After reading it, the green tendons on the third master's forehead rose.
Although my grandfather was a small civil official in the county at that time, he had an outstanding literary reputation, and his mother and uncle were also quite famous. On March 3 of that year, the fifteen-year-old mother was invited by the daughter of the county magistrate to go on a visit, and this kind of gathering at the daughter's house was not uncommon at that time, so no one raised the alarm.
Who knows, the cruise ship actually met Emperor Jianlong, who was secretly on patrol, which changed the fate of the Huayang family.
Hua Yuanhuai wrote in the letter that he found out after the investigation that the local officials gathered the daughters of each family together to please Emperor Jianlong, and let Emperor Jianlong choose.
Emperor Jianlong picked the most outstanding concubine at a glance who had already been married.
Seeing that the persecution of the mother's parents failed, the local officials not only assassinated the Yang family, but also framed their grandfather for greedy ink and their uncle for fornicating with pirates, all of which are capital crimes to turn around. The mother concubine knew the difficulties at home, and took the initiative to stand up and go with Emperor Jianlong, which resolved the crisis.
My grandfather felt that he was incompetent, and he was depressed, and he died with his grandmother in a few years; The uncle was also full of guilt and embarked on the road of revenge.
The uncle said, "The enemies who should be killed have been killed, and Sheng'er doesn't need to bother." The history of the Chaozhou Thorn is somewhat related to the right phase Cheng Wujie, who was the petty official accompanying your father during the emperor's southern tour. You should be wary of this person, he may also be in the know. If you need to do it, you must be cautious. I didn't know where the two marriage letters were in a hurry, and I haven't found them all these years. Presumably they were all hidden or destroyed by those people, and Sheng'er should be able to understand why these two are the reason. ”
burned in order to destroy the evidence; Keep it so that one day when they want to use their mother to do things, they will use it to blackmail her!
Cheng Wujie, who is well versed in Emperor Jianlong's preferences, may be the direct driver of this matter, otherwise the marriage book would not have ended up in his hands; Otherwise, he would not have risen to prominence, from a petty official of the Hanlin Academy, to the prime minister in more than ten years!
He is Emperor Jianlong's lackey, even more so than the right minister, and even more conscienceless!
The third master's eyes were full of murderous intent, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, outlining a bloodthirsty arc.
The third master smiled like this, Xuan San hadn't seen him for many months, he immediately put down the freshly made brush in his hand, stood up and waited for the third master to give the order.
The third master instructed, "Make a list of the Cheng family's business, shops, and granges, and hand them over to Qin Zhongtian, so that he can gather the power of Qin Ji to crush the Cheng family's business one by one and cut off their financial route!"
"Yes!" Xuansan responded loudly.
This is the first time that the third master has used Qin Ji to do something that has nothing to do with making money, Xuan San wants to see how many catties and taels Qin Zhongtian has been dragged to the sky. If he doesn't have enough pounds, he will simply give way and let Qin Rizhan become the big boss of Qin Ji.
If the girl is in charge of Qin Ji, crushing the Cheng family's business is just a matter of moving her fingers!
When Qingxin's portrait was sent to Yang Bo, Yang Bo carefully identified it for a long time, and he was not sure, "The old slave is indeed a little familiar when he looks at his eyebrows, but if you say which one he is, the old slave can't remember it for a while......"
It seems that Qingxin does have a relationship with the Yang family, and it is necessary to let Qingxin meet with Yang Bo to confirm his identity.
The third master went straight to the second brother, and in two days it was the day when the saint went out of the palace to the imperial tomb to worship his ancestors, and the queen mother and queen would accompany him, he wanted to discuss with the second brother and let the mother concubine go with him. When the mother concubine leaves the palace, Qingxin must follow, and then let Yang Bo identify it carefully, if this person is really suspicious, he will be dealt with directly outside the palace.
Mother is more expensive than son, and the third master is now the prince with the most sacred heart, and it is not difficult to arrange for the mother concubine to travel with Emperor Jianlong.
Although the Queen Mother was unhappy when she found out, she could only endure it. Although Yan Sheng was brought up by her own hands, Hua Concubine is his biological mother, and giving Hua Concubine face is giving Yan Sheng face, and the Queen Mother is helpless.
Although Concubine Hua was surprised to get the news, her son said that she wanted her to go out for a walk, although she didn't think there was anything good to go to the imperial mausoleum, but she still happily agreed.
Zheng Meiren, who begged Emperor Jianlong in the middle of the night last night and didn't have a chance to leave the palace, leaned against the door of the main hall, watching Qingxin order people to pack up, and said cool words without yin or yang.
Qingxin was tired of hearing this, so he only said coldly, "It's windy here, and Niangniang beware of being blown by the wind and hurting her body." ”
Yes, nothing is as important as her body now! Zheng Meiren wrapped her cloak tightly, gently protected her belly, and let people carefully return to the side hall.
