Chapter 782: If the Son Ends, the Prosperous Era Begins
"Is it really going to die?"
Half an hour later, when Yichen returned to Ci'an Palace to resume his life, the Empress Dowager was surprised when she heard this result.
In fact, Yichen's delay in the Forbidden Garden was very short, but Ci'an Palace was not short to pass through the East and West Sixth Palaces from the North Fifth Palace, and the distance was not short.
The Empress Dowager was surprised not by the death of the Qin family, this is certain, there will be no other result, but according to the character of the Qin family, it is impossible to be self-explanatory, and the Empress Dowager thought that in the end, Yichen would also order the eunuchs to use force.
"Yes, after the abolition, she volunteered to die, and chose the three-foot white silk, and the concubine watched her die hanging from the beam." Yichen was indifferent, and his tone was calm, as if he was talking about gossip such as "the weather is very cold".
The Empress Dowager naturally did not have any other shock, and quickly calmed down, and even asked with a smile: "How did Chen'er persuade the Empress Dowager." ”
"The concubine comforted the Qin family, if she didn't want to die, the concubine could intercede for her, but the abolished emperor had already killed herself, and the Qin family didn't want to die in order to cut off the relationship between husband and wife, which was regarded as righteousness, and when she returned to her clan, the Qin family was full of crimes, and the female dependents had no official slaves, and the Qin family should sit together, but in the end, it was the middle palace, and only needed to be a slave in the court."
I don't want to die after the abolition, because I know that the second concubine Chen and Yan even have a way to live for Deng and Bai, and Concubine Deng can actually go to the princess's mansion to "retire", and she will still be pampered.
But the abolition queen is also a proud and strong person, let her be a slave, it is better to die.
In the end, she was the mother of the world, although she had never been in charge of palace affairs, she knew what the court was, and she was like Qin Ziruo who washed the drowning bucket of the lowly palace people every day, it was really better to die.
Yichen still hopes that he will be more "strong" after the abolition, and it will be more relieving to be humiliated in the service court.
But after the abolition, she laughed wildly, only hated the two words "don't think", hesitated between the poisonous wine and the white silk, and for some reason, chose the hanging beam that seemed to require more courage.
However, as for Qin Ziruo, if she can endure such a long time in a place like the Imperial Court, she should be more "strong" than the abolished queen, and she must be unwilling to die.
Seeing that the Empress Dowager looked soothing, Yichen seized the opportunity to admonish: "Niangniang, the sentence of the Qin clan has been set, and it will be executed in a few days, and the female dependents are not official slaves, and the concubines think that Qin Qiniang should also be guilty of the same crime as the clansmen, if the rest of the female relatives are filled with border counties, it is not appropriate for her to stay in the court, according to the law, Qin Qiniang was directly involved in the crime of abolishing the emperor, and should be executed, but Niangniang has pardoned first, and the death penalty can be avoided, but she can no longer be left in the palace." ”
Although the court is bitter, compared to the official slaves, it is still tolerant, at least the court court slaves will not be humiliated by innocence, not as good as the official slaves, let others beat and scold not to say, those who have a slight appearance, and even their innocence is difficult to protect, many of the ladies who became official slaves because of their family crimes, simply committed suicide in order to protect their innocence, I don't know if Qin Zi can still endure the humiliation and steal his life if he is in that situation.
The Empress Dowager originally didn't want to forgive Qin Ziruo, and she didn't think about the way to deal with it for a while, not only did not break her word, but also made her deserve it.
Yi Chen said again: "Many crimes of the abolished emperor have Qin Qiniang in the back, and the loss of naturalization may have something to do with Qin Qiniang, the concubines think that the innocent death of 100,000 soldiers and civilians in northern Xinjiang will not be able to eliminate the anger of the people even if the Qin clan is wiped out, and Qin Qiniang should serve his sentence to naturalize and atone for his sins." ”
The truth of naturalization and loss is made public to the world, and the relatives of the people who died at the hands of thieves because of the slaughter of the city in the northern plains will not be the bones of the Qin family's hatred, and even the naturalized soldiers, they all hate the traitors and mislead the country, and they will lose the lives of their comrades.
If she is still alive and refuses to give up herself, she will understand what it means to be angry and difficult to commit crimes, and what is called life is better than death.
This is indeed the case.
Assuming that if Qin Zi fell directly from the realm of wealth and wealth to hell and fell into despair, she would be intolerable to the suffering of the court, but in fact, she had hope, gritted her teeth and endured the humiliation, the more she struggled in adversity, the more unwilling she was to die, knowing that it would be difficult to protect herself from the defeat of the emperor, and the Empress Dowager's persecution gave her a glimmer of life, and she did not hesitate to confess, in order to survive and steal her life.
It is also because until this time, Miss Qin is still confident that with her mind, she can stay in the green mountains, not afraid of no firewood, as long as she lives, she will come one day with all the hardships, maybe there is still a chance to turn over, no matter how bad the situation is, the court is already the limit.
She even secretly calculated that the new emperor was young, and the power was monopolized by Ci'an Palace, although Su was the queen mother, cowardly and incompetent, and he was not a threat, but in the long run, Ci'an Palace may not be power-hungry and manipulated the new emperor as a puppet, and at that time, the Weiguo Mansion will become a fierce rival of Ci'an Palace.
Of course, the Qin family has fallen, and it is impossible for the abolished emperor to have any chance, but it does not mean that she Qin Ziruo has not turned over.
As long as he seizes the opportunity, flatters the Ci'an Palace, and wins the favor of the Empress Dowager, he will be used as a pawn, and he may also be given the Quanxun Mansion.
The main room is impossible, Miss Qin recognizes the situation and adjusts her positioning in time.
With her talent and appearance, it is very likely that she will become a favorite concubine, and no matter how slowly she plots, it is not impossible to correct it, just to see if she can play a key role at a critical time.
In the past, she was too stupid, too persistent in the love of men and women, but she was ruthlessly betrayed, and she will never make such a mistake in the future.
Miss Qin deeply felt that she had gone through ups and downs, suffered great hardships, and her mind was more than heavy, as long as she was given a chance, she would have a blessing.
It is to when the daughters of the Yang family get pardon - King Xianfu was poisoned by the abolished emperor, the Yang family is really wronged, the Empress Dowager pardoned the Yang daughters, and appeased - Yang Siniang cleared the charge for the family, and her long-cherished wish was fulfilled, and she invited herself to stay in the palace to serve, thinking that she was grateful for the great grace of the Empress Dowager, of course she would not continue to stay in the court. When Yang Siniang left the court, she deliberately ridiculed and humiliated Qin Ziruo again, saying that she deserved it.
Even so, it didn't dampen Miss Qin's confidence, she didn't even respond to Yang's provocation, and rolled up her sleeves and didn't say a word.
But in my heart, I am gritting my teeth, and I am waiting for the future......
However, after the abolition, the news of the death of the Emperor was killed, Qin Qiniang did not even have a single tear, because such a result had already been expected by her, her own situation was sinister, and the future was bumpy.
Miss Qin can only concentrate on planning for herself, how can she get out of the predicament, step by step, and return to wealth and wealth.
Just when she had already made up her mind to wait in the court to see her change and endure humiliation and steal her life to find a way out, suddenly there was a change, and the court could not stay anymore, and the empress dowager wanted her to work as a coolie in another place like her sisters.
This made Qin Ziruo stunned for a long time, but he didn't lose all his thoughts.
People have been in hardship for a long time, and what they have always relied on is the delusional regain of wealth and perseverance, and gradually they become blindly optimistic and more adaptable to changes.
Qin Ziruo remembered many legends he had heard in the past - the famous lady was not an official slave, and even fell to the fireworks and willow lane, in the end, she was highly sought after by virtue of her talent and appearance, and was rescued from the sea of suffering by the amorous Langjun, and finally loved her lover and grew old with happiness-the most successful and typical person is the Rose Lady.
Thinking about it this way, there are more opportunities to be an official slave than to stay in the palace.
Miss Ziruo thinks that although she doesn't know medical skills, she is much better than the rose lady in qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, not to mention that she has a lot of wisdom, and she may be more useful if she is out of the restrictions of this palace wall.
It's called a confident person who is not bothered by changes at all, but secretly excited.
A pretentious person who sits in the well and watches the sky, let alone knows the world, Ziruo girl is unconscious, her wisdom is based on the advocacy of her own father, grandfather and brother, even the abolished emperor did not believe it at the beginning, but he just thinks that the seventh sister is slightly stronger than the ordinary boudoir, not to mention where are these people who "appreciate" her now? It's a shame that she still has such confidence.
Soon it came to the day of the execution of Qin Huaiyu's father and son, and the two of them were sentenced to Ling Chi.
And all men over the age of eight in the Qin clan will be beheaded.
Those who are born to be official slaves, one does not miss kneeling on the spot to watch the execution, Qin Ziruo is naturally not forgotten.
Outside the Xuanwu Gate, the crowd was boiling, the sound of the people shouting and killing shook through the nine nights, and some people even rushed into the execution ground to pick up the flesh and blood of the crime against the guards, and ate vicious dogs, and there were many vegetables and broken shoes, overwhelmingly attacking the Qin family's daughters, those "foolish people", all gritted their teeth and said angrily, Qin Ziruo actually witnessed one of her young cousins scared to death on the spot!
It wasn't until this moment that "Nu Zhuge " felt a trace of fear.
She closed her eyes tightly and didn't look at the tragedy of her father and ancestor being stabbed to death by the scarf, but the thunderous public anger invaded her ears uncontrollably, making her tremble.
But there is still a voice in my heart, endure the past, endure this last pass.
This is far from the end.
Naturalization is like a hell waiting for Qin Ziruo.
Along the way, the officials escorted to Qin Ziruo did not be harsh on her, and even took great care of her, and did not walk on foot with iron locks like ordinary officials and slaves, but gave her the treatment of riding in a prisoner car.
This gave Miss Qin's "frightened" heart a chance to be repaired, and she gradually calmed down, and delusions and expectations faintly appeared.
But on the day of arriving at naturalization, the people in the city "greeted each other in the middle of the road", and they were obviously informed in advance of the identity of this official slave - Qin Huaiyu's granddaughter, the sister of the deposed mother's compatriots, poisoned the family of the culprit who colluded with the Northern Plains to commit crimes, and heard that this is not an ordinary boudoir, but is actually a demon girl who helps to abuse the abolished emperor!
The anger of the naturalized people who lost their homes and relatives was vented on Qin Ziruo.
When the prisoner car approached, unlike the hustle and bustle outside the Xuanwu Gate, there was silence outside the naturalization city.
But the angry eyes full of blood and tears were even colder than the north wind that was wrapped in flying snow that day, so that Qin Ziruo personally felt the severe pain of her father's torture that day, and she finally heard the sound of her teeth trembling, and she couldn't contain it with all her might.
It's not enough to be truly desperate......
The silent crowd suddenly let out a cry, which was especially shrill.
A woman, scrawny, rushed to the prisoner van.
"The crime of killing a thousand knives is all your Qin family, aiding and abusing, helping the abolished Emperor to kill Zhongliang, colluding with the Beiyuan thieves to enter the city, my family, in-laws, sons-in-law, daughters-in-law, daughters and sons-in-law, and even the newborn grandchildren are not spared! If I hadn't returned to my parents' house that day and was not in the city, I would have died at the hands of the Kitahara soldiers...... It's better to die, leave me alone, how will I live in the future! The woman's arm reached into the prisoner cart and tried her best to pull the lamp Qin Ziruo: "Sin, I want you to pay for your life, for my family!" ”
Once it begins, there is no end.
There was that strong man, with no nose on his face and one ear, and his voice was hoarse: "Demon girl, look at my appearance, I was brutalized by the Northern Plains Army, and it was easy to escape with my life, but none of my parents, wives and children were saved!" ”
More people flocked to the prison car, and Qin Ziruo's pale justification and redress of grievances were so overwhelmed by the angry questioning that even she could hardly hear it clearly.
Naturalize this city, and Qin Ziruo is not allowed to enter.
She eventually died at the hands of the enraged people, and even the prison car she was riding in was dismantled to shreds.
No one used sharp weapons, just fists and kicks.
Qin Ziruo replaced her father and ancestor, giving a place for the hatred of the naturalized people to have a catharsis.
The news of her death was transmitted back to Jinyang, and the Empress Dowager only heard one result, and was no longer interested in paying attention to the process, but Yichen asked carefully, and learned that Qin Ziruo had almost no bones, and was almost trampled into meat by everyone, with no smile, only coldness.
Even so, she is far from being relieved, no matter how miserable the enemies die, they can't get back the people she loves.
Yichen only said to the new emperor: "Brother Shun, you have to remember that this is all the credit of your cousin King Chu, without him, your father would have died in vain, and you will not be in the position of the Ninth Five, you must remember the kindness of your uncle, and you must not be unjust." ”
In Layue, the Duke of Wei returned to the dynasty, the new emperor ascended the throne, changed the yuan, and Dalong once again opened a new chapter.
From this day, it also officially opened the prosperous prelude to the "prosperous era of Mingzong" praised by later historians.
