Chapter 199: Dust Falls
The queen's persuasion of the prince here was very unsuccessful, but the deliberations of the previous dynasty went smoothly.
Emperor Xianping, who also believed that the death of the king of Yanchang was caused by the death of the prince and the king of Yanchang County, scolded the eldest son and grandson thousands of times, but he couldn't help but clean up the aftermath for them, in order to cover up the incompetence of the royal prince and the cruelty of the prince to his cousin, and did not want to use the sword and soldiers, Emperor Xianping had to shift all the blame to the dead Zhong Chongsheng.
He made a confession with the Marquis of Yongcheng in advance, claiming that Zhong Chongsheng was a wolf with ambition, and the surrender was simply a fraudulent surrender! Therefore, the ambush of the Marquis of Yongcheng and the assassination of Tang Yuan were all done by Zhong Chongsheng. The two most important things have the landing of the top cylinder, and then Zhong Chongsheng died, and the descendants of the Zhong family rebelled and waited and watched...... This is described as-
The reason why the Marquis of Yongcheng left Dongyi Mountain and went to the land of the Yue clan was not really to send his wife's ashes back to his hometown, but to suspect that Zhong Chongsheng's surrender was fraudulent and deliberately tested Zhong Chongsheng! Of course, this statement is not credible, and some courtiers immediately came out to question how the Marquis of Yongcheng, as an envoy, could easily leave his duties?! Since he was suspicious, how could he leave the rest of the people behind and escape by himself?
This question is not easy for the Marquis of Yongcheng to answer, but Emperor Xianping has already arranged - Su Taishi, who deliberately went to the court, personally went out at the moment to reprimand the courtiers who raised questions, and the old lady talked endlessly about the demeanor of the Heavenly Dynasty for a long time, and finally clicked the question, the Tao is that Zhong Chongsheng had surrendered at that time, and knelt down to invite the envoy to go up the mountain to inspect and surrender the army, how could my Daliang envoy not dare to go up the mountain because of doubt? Isn't this laughing off the big teeth of others?!
As for why the Marquis of Yongcheng went down the mountain after going up the mountain, of course, it was because the Marquis of Yongcheng was thoughtful and vigilant, because he couldn't hold the handle of Zhong Chongsheng's deception, but he had to think carefully, so he was ready to borrow troops from the Yue clan just in case. After all, borrowing troops is not a trivial matter, except for the Marquis of Yongcheng, who is in-law with the Yue clan, outsiders can't borrow it, so he can only let him, the envoy, go on a trip in person.
But the Marquis of Yongcheng still left Su Shina in Dongyi Mountain to guard against Zhong Chongsheng, if the Marquis of Yongcheng really only cared about his own life and death, and took Su Shina with him, with the bravery and resourcefulness of this famous general of the Yue clan, he might not be seriously injured!
- The Marquis of Yongcheng, as the main envoy, deputy envoy and nephew, died, it is impossible for him not to be responsible. Emperor Xianping instructed Su Taishi to defend him like this, and he was already trying to exempt him from responsibility. Because although Emperor Xianping felt that this matter was 'made' by the prince and Tang Yuan themselves, his nephew, who almost lost his 'life', was wronged, but the prince's 'desire' to kill the Marquis of Yongcheng could not be announced, and the Marquis of Yongcheng could only be "wronged".
This section has been revealed, and the following is the decisive and heroic Su Shina who was seriously injured and 'unconscious', and after the assassination of the first deputy envoy, he did not 'mess', and immediately killed Zhong Chongsheng, and took down the descendants of the Zhong family - those descendants of the Zhong family who rebelled against the 'rebellion', well, it was a ghost in his heart that turned back.
The whole thing, no matter whether the courtiers believed it or not, and how much they believed, Emperor Hengzhu Xianping, the Marquis of Yongcheng, and Su Taishi all believed it.
…… In this way, the Marquis of Yongcheng was the main envoy, but the deputy envoy died in Dongyi Mountain, his crime was not small, but the Marquis of Yongcheng himself was seriously injured and has not healed so far, and his subordinate Su Shina killed Zhong Chongsheng and suppressed the descendants of the Zhong family.
However, Taishi Su knew in his heart that this non-reward and punishment was just to give the prince face, and Emperor Xianping would inevitably compensate the Marquis of Yongcheng in private.
The Marquis of Yongcheng did not reward or punish, but Tang Shenzhi and Chun Yu Sangye were both reprimanded, of course, they failed to play the role of the deputy envoy when the main envoy and the deputy envoy were injured and died.
So the only one who received the reward was Su Shina. Although because he is Ning Shaobi's slave, he can't reward too much, but only give a hundred taels of gold...... But the Divine Will is very clear.
The atmosphere after the dispersal of the dynasty on this day was very strange, and no matter how stupid the courtiers were, they all guessed that there was a mystery in the death of the king of Yanchang County, and they all sighed that the Ning family was clever or extremely lucky-the dignified county king died like this, and the Ning family was not only not punished, but was comforted by the saint, which was the saint's own grandson!
It's just that no one really wants to know the reason for it......
After the dispersal of the dynasty, Ning Shaobi personally helped the Hou of Yongcheng to board the car and return to the house, of course, he had to go to the mansion of the eldest princess of Jiyang to meet the eldest princess first. Seeing the faint breath of the Marquis of Yongcheng and the pale face, the eldest princess was taken aback! didn't even have time to listen to what was going on, so he hurriedly sent the Marquis of Yongcheng back to the Hou Mansion to lie down and ask the doctor to go - only Ning Shaobi was left to interrogate him sharply.
On this day, the Ning family was very busy, Zhuo Zhaojie was a daughter-in-law, it was inconvenient to serve her father-in-law alone, the twins were pestering, and the eldest princess Jiyang was 'worried' again, so she had to send the twins to the eldest princess together, not only to let the eldest princess watch her great-grandson and great-grandchild' daughter' be distracted, but also so that the twins could have an elder to stare at.
But while the eldest princess was worried about her son, she remembered that Zhuo Zhaojie was still "pregnant", and sent her personal Mama Li to serve the Marquis of Yongcheng, but scolded Zhuo Zhaojie to go back to Moxiang Courtyard to give birth to a safe baby.
Zhuo Zhaojie listened to this order, but at this time, Ning Shaobi also took a leave of absence to serve tea in front of Yongcheng Hou, and he didn't have time to discuss with her when to solve this fetus?
However, he was busy, because the result of the upward trend was beneficial to the Ning family, and Zhuo Zhaojie was also greatly relieved. I saw that Ning Shaobi seemed to have hole cards before, after all, the eldest princess of Jiyang was here, and when Emperor Xianping was there, the Ning family would not completely lose everything, but in the end, it was the 'sexual' life of a county king, and if the emperor did not wait for the queen to speak in person, he could not be completely assured.
The Marquis of Yongcheng returned with injuries, and he was not affected by the death of the king of Yanchang County, and everyone wanted to visit the 'door'. The in-laws Zhuo's family acted the fastest this time as usual, Zhuo Fangli and Zhuo Fangchun actually went to the 'door' together, but You and Zhou also came with their husbands and met the eldest princess, Zhuo Fangli and Zhuo Fangchun went to visit the Marquis of Yongcheng and talked to Ning Shaobi, You and Zhou of course watched Zhuo Zhaojie.
When You entered the 'door', he asked how the 'girl' fetus was, and Zhou was also very worried.
Zhuo Zhaojie was having a headache about this, sent people away, and told his mother and aunt the ins and outs of the matter, and the two elders couldn't cry or laugh when they heard about the pregnancy, Zhou reminded: "No matter how you 'hand' over this baby in the future, before 'handing' the generation, the child soup ......."
"Aunt Mao has stayed up for me." Zhuo Zhaojie said embarrassedly, it was originally a fake pregnancy, if she was really pregnant in the middle, but she couldn't give birth, it would be really embarrassing. So since she pretended to be pregnant, she let Aunt Mao have been boiling the 'medicine' to drink the soup - this soup 'medicine' can't avoid the child when it stops, and it doesn't hurt the body.
Hearing her say this, the two elders breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I just heard from the court that the court sentenced to the eldest princess to tell you that although the prince was seriously injured, there was no worry about his life, and he just needed to recuperate?" ”
"Well, my father was seriously injured on my grandmother's birthday, and I was so heavy that I didn't dare to let my grandmother know. It's been four months now, but the journey is tired, and there are no supplies along the way like in Chang'an, so I have lost weight. After the Marquis of Yongcheng returned home, Xu Zhen immediately arrived, and he almost pointed to the eldest princess and swore to the sky that as long as the Marquis of Yongcheng took care of himself, he would definitely be fine.
"What a wretch!" You sighed, "It's a shame that your father-in-law doesn't matter!" The eldest princess is just such a son, if he has three long and two short, how can this be called the eldest princess? ”
Zhou's eyes also had a 'color' of fear: "If the eldest princess is not good, you two are so young, how can you succeed without the support of your elders?" ”
"I'm so glad I found out." Zhuo Zhaojie smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty didn't ask about the matter of the King of Yanchang County before he breathed a sigh of relief...... By the way, the house has been busy in the past two days, I don't know how His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is? ”
You and Zhou glanced at each other and said, "What else?" After knowing the news, Midorihime rushed directly to the main hall - she was also crazy, and she actually wanted to fight with the crown princess! ”
Although he knew that the crown prince and Midori Ji would inevitably be angry with the crown princess and the king of Zhending because of this, Zhuo Zhaojie was still shocked by the extent that Midori Ji had done this: "What happened later? ”
"The princess of Zhending County happened to be 'serving' the crown princess, and the princess of the county was young and vigorous, and thought she was too rude, so she sent her away." Zhou has always been gentle to the younger generation he likes, and his words are subtle.
However, the You family sneered and said: "This lady of the Zhao family was notoriously spicy before she left the pavilion, where could you hear the following offenses of Lu Ji...... She personally rolled up her sleeves and knocked the splattered green Ji all the way out of the 'door', and finally even kicked into the lotus 'flower' pool in front of the princess's courtyard. ”
“…… What about the Prince? "Zhuo Zhaojie was even more surprised, Zhao Caolu's courage, Zhuo Zhaojie didn't doubt it at all, but Zhao Caolu did this, so he wasn't afraid that the prince would kill her as a daughter-in-law in anger?
"Of course the prince will not let go of the princess of Zhending County, but the princess of Zhending County is also clever, and now she has taken the prince to hide in Princess Yikang." Zhou smiled bitterly, "Her Royal Highness the princess personally went to Penglai Hall to ask for the queen's decree, and the prince was not allowed to go to the princess's mansion to ask for someone." ”
Zhuo Zhaojie thought that Princess Yikang and the concubine were in love, but now it seems that it has reached the point of life and death, otherwise Princess Yikang is even the prince's sister, but the prince is almost denied his sister-in-law for the sake of his eldest son, what is his sister?
Princess Yikang was such a group of Zhao Caolu this time, and she was hated by the prince. If it weren't for the love with Zhao Kuang to the extent of sharing honor and disgrace, he would not have been involved in this matter.
You Shi said again: "But although the princess of Zhending County is temporarily hiding, but the prince still looked for the princess - the Duchess of Shao Guo entered the palace yesterday and cried in the Penglai Palace, the queen mother hated the prince very much, and now it is the saint who has decreed that the prince is not allowed to go to the princess again." ”
So is the crown princess at a loss? Zhuo Zhaojie couldn't help frowning, and asked worriedly, "Crown princess?" ”
"The East Palace is now 'chaotic', and there is everything to say, as if the crown princess was beaten by the prince." You sighed and glanced at Zhou.
Zhou understood and said softly: "The princess went to the palace to comfort the queen, and I heard that the prince threw the candlestick at the princess in anger, although the princess was blocked by the slave, but she was still injured on the shoulder - this is more accurate." ”
Zhuo Zhaojie sighed slightly, and said, "What does the eldest aunt mean is to let me visit the crown princess?" ”
"Now the Ning family is tied to the King of Zhending." Zhou's expression was complicated, "For example, although the princess of Zhending County is spicy, she is not unaware of proportion. The reason why he personally knocked Green Ji out of the lotus pond is because he knows that begging for mercy and concessions at this time will only appear weak and will not help in the future, so he will do things absolutely ...... Now the Ning family ......"
Can the Ning family still ask the prince for forgiveness?
It's better to learn from Zhao Caolu and take the opportunity to visit the crown princess and make the relationship between the two sides go further!
"But you are now 'pregnant' again, your father-in-law has not recovered from his injury, and your grandmother is still lacking ......" You Shi Shen 'groaned', "It's not appropriate to go to the East Palace." ”
"It doesn't matter." Zhuo Zhaojie nodded and said, "Shi Wu's wife, Sister Mu, is the niece and nephew of the crown princess, and now that my father is recuperating from his injuries, the Shi family will definitely come to visit, and most of Sister Mu will also come, so I asked her to bring things and messages to the crown princess 'privately'." ”
- Of course, Zhou's coming here today is not just to remind his niece and daughter to seize the opportunity to get close to the crown princess, but on behalf of Concubine Zhou's faction, please Zhuo Zhaojie take this opportunity to express her choice.
This is not surprising, Tang Yuan is dead, Taisun is not the king of Zhending County, who else can it be?
Zhuo Zhaojie has been taken care of a lot by this aunt, of course he will not refuse such a request, and he will not refuse such a request, which means that he will convey the attitude of Concubine Zhou's side.
