Chapter 166: Changing Heavens

Old Man Ling's tone is not ordinary, even if he is facing his most beloved granddaughter, he also changes the topic with a thousand pounds, it is rare to see that Shaohua has spirit, so he has to pull her to play chess together, saying that he has not played with her for a long time. Shaohua saw that he had turned around to look for the chessboard, and pretended to sneak back before Ling's rounds, otherwise he would definitely be scolded, so he took advantage of Old Man Ling's thoughts.

Joke! She can coax them with her mouth, if she really plays tricks, she will definitely show her feet. In qinqi, calligraphy and painting, she barely occupies a calligraphy, and what she writes is still a niche line, which is not easy to show off at all, so she can only keep a low profile.

She walked out of Old Man Ling's courtyard, and even the gatekeepers were taken aback, completely unaware of how Shaohua got in.

"Little Five, come over here." Second Uncle Ling appeared out of nowhere, blocking Shaohua's way and startling her. Seeing Second Uncle Ling's calm expression and sharp eyes, she instinctively took a step back, Second Uncle Ling raised the corners of his mouth and smiled evilly: "I won't eat you again, as for putting on this expression?" You've never even pulled your beard and eyebrows before. ”

Shaohua was laughed in a cold sweat by him in her heart, was she so ruthless before, this is a temptation, or come to settle accounts after the autumn.

"How can the second uncle still remember the past, wasn't he ignorant at that time." Shaohua prayed silently not to be discovered.

Second Uncle Ling looked at Shaohua's smiling face, didn't say a word for a long time, looked at it like this, and suddenly smiled: "Now you are sensible, and you can learn to climb over the wall." "If he hadn't heard Shaohua say this in person, he wouldn't have believed it." Honestly, what else did you just hear? Second Uncle Ling's expression suddenly froze.

Shaohua chuckled in his heart, and sure enough, Old Man Ling still hid his words. She looked at Second Uncle Ling's expression, her mind spun around quickly, and then said with a smile: "Everything I heard told my grandfather, and my grandfather also confessed everything to me, Second Uncle, don't worry, I won't say it." It's just that the rescue is not trivial, can Brother Boyan do it alone? ”

Second Uncle Ling's face changed suddenly, and he was taken aback, "You even know that Bo Yan has entered the palace." He frowned, and complained to himself: "Dad is really old and confused, why don't you even talk about this, it really spoils you." ”

Shaohua naturally didn't know that Bo Yan had entered the palace, but he thought that Bo Yan hadn't appeared for so long, and maybe he would go with Second Uncle Ling, so he threw bricks and fished out Second Uncle Ling's words. Unexpectedly, Bo Yan was not only in Beijing, but also entered the palace. However, the Ling family has long been not the imperial businessmen in the palace, where did he get the token to let him in, can't he climb over the wall like her.

The palace wall is not as good as the courtyard wall, and it may not be possible to climb it. Besides, it's easy to get in and hard to get out, and it's hard to really fly out of the palace with Hongwen.

Thinking of the recent mention that outsiders entered Beijing and pretended to be from the Wang family to go to the Great Prince's Mansion to receive errands, and Bo Yan happened to be in the palace with Hongwen, which made Shaohua wonder if those who pretended to be the Wang family would be Bo Yan them.

Shaohua carefully put away his little emotions, and then said seriously: "Second uncle, Rong Xiaowu said something presumptuous, Brother Boyan shouldn't enter the palace." With the strength of the Ling family, coupled with the identity of the eldest son of the eldest prince, in fact, it is only a matter of time before he ascends to the throne, so why let him risk doing such a thing. ”

Hongwen dares to rebel, and the Three Princes' Mansion will not sit idly by, if even the Three Princes' Mansion can't save him, Shaohua can't think of any other skills that Bo Yan has to save Hongwen.

Second Uncle Ling raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "If the Yan family kid knew that you said such a thing, probably he wouldn't have scooped you out of the water." "Shaohua was surprised that Second Uncle Ling was so well-informed, obviously he looked like he had just come back from outside, and he even knew about her falling into the water and being rescued." The Qin family has never taken such a thing as the elder in their eyes, otherwise the throne would not be his turn, the upper beam is not right, the lower beam is crooked, and no one dares to expect his son to eat this set. ”

Shaohua only knew that the current emperor was originally ranked second, and there was an eldest brother of the crown prince, but unfortunately it was said that he died of illness at a young age, and the third prince and the emperor were compatriots of the same mother, so according to the order, it was the turn of the second prince.

But what she doesn't know is that it has to be strictly counted, and Hongwen is not the eldest son. Because when the emperor was only the prince today, Queen Duanming Wang was not his princess, and like the imperial concubine He, she was just a lady.

At that time, the princess was the emperor's cousin, and together with the crown prince, the three of them could be regarded as childhood sweethearts who grew up together. is four years younger than the third brother, the two older brothers have a very good relationship because of the same year and month. It's just that later someone got the country and someone got a beauty, and since they got married, the two have gradually become estranged.

And not long before the prince died, the princess suddenly fell ill, and the palace didn't know what the illness was, in short, the funeral was only hastily arranged. Not long after, the death of the crown prince made people forget the cause of her illness, and the palace was in a state of grief for a while.

A year later, when the emperor ascended the throne, he named Wang as the queen, He as the concubine, and the other concubines only gave titles such as nobles. Even the harem election after ascending the throne only sealed a merchant woman among the three generals of Pingzhou as Xiao Concubine, and it was not until Hongwen Hongyi was born one after another that the harem beauties gradually ascended to the throne. This is the reason why the prince in the palace is not as noble as Hongfang's son. However, after the emperor ascended the throne, except for the third prince, the other young princes either did not live to the crown, or their status was too low, and they moved out of the palace with their mother early, and no one was called the king at all.

It is humane, Wang's mother's family is just a wealthy businessman, and most of the brothers and sisters are official buyers, so it is actually predictable that Uncle Guo's character will happen later. If he had been the queen of the He clan at the beginning, there would probably not be so many things now. It's just that after the ceremony, a Hongmen banquet brought the He family's military power into their hands, causing the He family to think that it was Wang's idea, and swore to die not to allow the descendants of the He family to worship Queen Duanming.

Since ancient times, the capital has believed in pets for agriculture and commerce, although with the exchanges between Doro and the Western Regions, the status of merchants has long been the same as before, but the sons of merchants are still not as high as the third grade. After the Wang family was sealed, the rise of the Wang family later, and the uncle of the country was especially kind to the family with the same surname. This undoubtedly gave great stimulation to the merchants, and some people even deliberately changed their surnames and pretended to be members of the Wang family. Later, many of the Wang family members in Beijing were affected, and a small number of them were merchants who had changed their surnames before.

After the He clan was dispersed, many people did not want to see the Wang family show off their power in Beijing, so they all returned to Pingzhou. Otherwise, Pingzhou and Huaicheng are so close, with the prestige of the three generals of Pingzhou, if they didn't deliberately release water, where would the bandits dare to provoke on their territory.

It is precisely because of the departure of the He family that Uncle Guo has no strong political enemies, and he is more arrogant, with scenery on all sides, and even leaning towards one side, wanting to be the king of the fief.

Yan Su's death was a wound for the He family, and it was also a turning point for the He family, because it was the uncle Wang Ling who played Yan Su's treason and collaboration with the enemy. And Yan Su's unjust death was rehabilitated, and this account was naturally counted on Wang Ling's head. As soon as Yan Su died, Lingjing had no leader, and Yan Jiajun was actually an official assigned by He Jiajun who was not subject to disobedience, and in the end he could only fall to the original deputy general of Yan Su.

Shaohua went back with a stomach full of questions, but before he arrived at the house, Zhou Yan caught him, saying that Li Xunzhuo had heard the news from Beijing. Shaohua already knew about Hongwen's rebellion and being trapped in the palace, so he seemed very calm, and was about to be annoyed that Zhou Yan had ignored her recently, but he heard Zhou Yan say nervously: "Do you know, many people from the Great Prince's Party have been arrested. Even Princess Anjing's family was arrested, and I don't know what happened to my aunt and them. ”

Although the Marquis of Zhongyi's Mansion did not openly support that side, with the hospitable character of Mrs. Zhongyihou, it would be difficult to say if she was framed. Who doesn't know in Beijing that the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion is the most lively, and there are parties at both ends of almost every three days.

"Even Princess An Jing was arrested? What about the Three Kings' Mansions. Shaohua was stunned, obviously things had exceeded her imagination.

"I don't know this, there shouldn't be, the second uncle didn't say it. It's just that the second aunt is worried that something will happen to Sanniang. Zhou Yan looked worried.

Shaohua then remembered that with the relationship between Princess Anjing and the lord of Yinghua, he thought that the feudal family was in trouble.

Without thinking too much, she left Zhou Yan and hurriedly ran to Ling's house, just in time to see Ling's eyes red from crying, and her mouth muttered: "My Sanniang, she is still pregnant, if she is arrested, what will she do!" ”

"Have you cried enough, who told you that Sanniang was arrested." Li Xunzhuo looked very irritable.

"Even the princess Niangniang was arrested, can the county lord of Yinghua still run, Sanniang is the daughter-in-law of the county lord, is this still bad?" Ling roared.

"Princess An Jing was arrested because she openly supported the relationship between the eldest prince, what happened to the lord of Yinghua, don't scare yourself." Li Xunzhuo also shouted loudly.

Shaohua walked in and looked at his parents, also looking anxious, "Daddy, Auntie, what's going on?" ”

When Li Xunzhuo saw Shaohua coming, he asked her to take care of the Ling family and go out again to see if there was any latest news. Unexpectedly, when he went like this, he came back with even more shocking news.

The emperor died.

Obviously, I heard that Second Uncle Ling and Old Man Ling were discussing Hongwen's rebellion and being detained, and all of a sudden he became the eldest prince's henchmen and was arrested, and now that the emperor has returned to heaven, could it be that Hongwen succeeded? Or did the emperor die of his son's rebellion?

In three days, it will be Chinese New Year's Eve, but there is no New Year's feeling in the whole world, whether it is Beijing or Beijing, they are all stunned by this news.

Standing under the eaves, looking at the snow that fell at some point, Shaohua suddenly understood why the weather had been so weird recently. The Son of Heaven is in trouble, so even God feels sad, who will be the next to ascend the throne, and who will be the one who will sit on the throne next year.
