The feng shui of the Eastern Wei Dynasty does not seem to be very good lately.

After one big case after another, I didn't have a good time for a year, and there was a storm again. On the ninth day of the first lunar month, it was supposed to be a day for the Manchu Dynasty to recuperate at home and reunite with the family, but everyone's peace was still broken.

Qiao Fengqi, the new leader of the Chamber of Commerce, was almost assassinated in his mansion on the night of the eighth day of the new year. All but one of the Assassins escaped, and the rest were either captured or reduced to corpses. Qiao's mother was full of resentment, with blood and tears in her eyes, and asked Qiao Feng to lift her seriously injured body, and went straight to the palace to kowtow and complain.

Early in the morning, the little people who were used to getting up early surrounded the mother and son of the Qiao family on the inside and outside three floors, and they were all curious to inquire about what was going on.

After Qiao Feng sat down as the leader of the Chamber of Commerce, he always went down to the ground from time to time to talk to the people about prices and ask about real estate. In addition, as soon as he arrives in the capital, whenever there is a festival, he will always open a house to give alms, and if there is a disaster, he will also help one or two. Who doesn't know Qiao Fengqi in Beijing?

As soon as he saw Qiao Fengqi covered in blood on the stretcher, the people's grievances suddenly became boiling, and they scolded the people who were so cruel to him.

Some people also inquired in many ways, and soon got the story of the incident, and Qiao's mother's voice of injustice became stronger and stronger.

Emperor Wu just got up when he got the news, and recently several concubines have had accidents one after another, and he was in an extremely bad mood, and he never rested in the harem during the New Year, and slept directly in the Zhaode Palace.

Qiao Fengqi is a courtier he attaches more importance to, and since Qiao Fengqi took the throne, he has given him a lot of beneficial advice to the society. As soon as Emperor Wu heard that Qiao Fengqi had an accident, his first reaction was that someone intended to get rid of Qiao Fengqi and seize the position of the leader of the Chamber of Commerce. There were so many suspicious people that he couldn't figure out who it was for a while, so he asked as he walked: "Qi Chun, who do you think did this time?" ”

"There is also competition between merchants, and the slaves have lived in the deep palace for a long time, and they really can't think of it." Qi Chun shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Emperor Wu snorted coldly: "Do you think it is possible that Mu Zhizhao did it?" ”

However, Emperor Wu only asked, and quickly dispelled his doubts. Qiao Fengqi's Chamber of Commerce leaders were all given up by Mu Zhizhao, and Mu Zhizhao had no reason to treat Qiao Fengqi like this. He also heard privately that now the Qiao family has a good relationship with the Mu family, and Qiao Fengqi also fell in love with a little girl beside Mu Yunge and officially proposed to marry.

Qi Chun had an idea with him: "Master Mu is tolerant, if you really want this position, there is no need to go to such great lengths." ”

"Let's hear it first." Emperor Wu rubbed his eyebrows exhaustedly, and for some reason, he suddenly missed the soft fingers of Concubine De, and the strength she gave herself was always just right.

Thinking of Concubine De, the burden on my heart is a little heavier.

Emperor Wu arrived at the Zhengda Guangming Palace, and the forbidden army had already helped Qiao's mother bring people to the main hall. Mei Shaoqing had received Wei Shi's edict earlier, and had been waiting in the Tai Hospital, and as soon as he received the order, he immediately rushed to the Zhengda Guangming Hall for treatment.

From Mu Yunge's handwriting, this injury looks extremely serious, but in fact, it is just a few holes. Mei Shaoqing sutured it with needles and threads, smeared it with herbs, and then pretended to treat it, poured Qiao Fengqi a bowl of warm water that had melted into pills, and waited for Qiao Fengqi to wake up and finish telling his story.

However, before that, it was Qiao's mother's battlefield.

Qiao's mother had tears in her eyes, slowly knelt down, and first made a big bow of three bows and nine bows, and then straightened her waist: "The women see the emperor, may the emperor be blessed and safe, and Ze will have a long life!" ”

Zhengda Guangming Hall sat high, separated from the flat ground where he knelt down, Emperor Wu squinted his eyes, Qiao's mother turned against the light, he couldn't see the appearance of this person clearly, he only felt that she was polite and behaved properly, not like a country woman from an ordinary family.

recalled the information of Qiao Fengqi that he had read, his mother made a living by working for others, and her embroidery skills were applauded, but she was frail and sickly, bedridden all the year round, and was rarely known to outsiders. He had some doubts in his heart, waved his hand to Qi Chun, who leaned over to ask for instructions, motioned for him to step back, and whispered to Qiao's mother, who was below: "Come forward, raise your head." ”

Mother Qiao knelt on her knees for a short distance as she said, stopped her forward steps, and raised her head slightly, so that Emperor Wu could see her face clearly.

Emperor Wu's eyes narrowed to almost a slit, and the more he looked at this face, the tighter his brows wrinkled.

Qi Chun took the time to take a look, and when he saw Qiao's mother's appearance clearly, he immediately gasped in fright, and exhaled: "This is not the ...... who committed suicide in fear of crime back then."

Emperor Wu glanced at him, Qi Chun knew that he was speechless, covered his mouth and swallowed the rest of the words.

Qiao's mother fell to the ground and cried: "Your Majesty, the people's woman is the wife of Qiao Zhenlin, the commander of the forbidden army. The women know that His Majesty has hatred for her late husband, and she still can't let go of it after so many years! If Your Majesty is willing to listen to the words of the people's women, the people's women will die, and they will be willing! ”

"Back then...... Hmph, how generous I treated your Qiao family back then, but you were wolf-hearted! I trusted Qiao Zhenlin, so I gave him the position of commander of the forbidden army, but what about him? Ashamed of the emperor's grace, colluding with foreign enemies, selling arms, and almost giving away my Great Wei Jiangshan to others! Emperor Wu was furious, slammed the table, and shouted: "You faked your death to deceive me, and let your son come to me incognito, and you want me to forgive you!" ”

As long as Emperor Wu thought that he had been kept in the dark all these days, he felt uncomfortable!

Qiao Fengqi is also surnamed Qiao, when Qiao Fengqi was enabled, he had a trace of doubts, but after thinking about it, there are so many surnames in the world, so he never took it to heart, but he didn't expect them to be the old people!

"The first husband was wronged! The women of the people are wronged! Qiao's mother wept bitterly, fell on the ground and kowtowed heavily, shouting loudly.

Emperor Wu didn't want to hear her at all, and waved his hand to interrupt her: "Come on, pull it out, behead!" ”

The forbidden army was about to step forward, but Qiao's mother hurriedly hugged Qiao Fengqi in her arms, but her face did not show a trace of panic, but said resolutely: "Your Majesty is going to behead the people's women and the sons of the people's women, and the people's women have nothing to say." But doesn't Your Majesty want to hear the truth of that year? Could it be that for so many years, His Majesty has never suspected that his late husband had no reason for treason and collaboration with the enemy, but did something of treason and collaboration with the enemy, is there any hidden secret in this? ”

"Secrets?" Emperor Wu's face was as black as a pot lid: "He is bent on climbing higher, this is the hidden secret!" ”

"Your Majesty, back then, the late husband was wronged, and the women were also thrown into the icy lake, disguised as a suicide in fear of crime, in order to cover up a shocking scandal!" Qiao's mother slammed her head on the ground hard, and in the quiet Zhengda Guangming Palace, the aftersound echoed, making people palpitate.

Qi Chun saw that her face was covered with blood, and her appearance was very terrifying, so he covered his mouth in shock.

Qiao's mother didn't care about the blood on her head, Qiao Fengqi said that once this matter was exposed, there was not much time left for her, and she must push everything irreparably before Emperor Wu made a decision.

Emperor Wu's anger had burned to the top of his head, and the old thing was a thorn in his heart, and he couldn't touch it, he almost roared and roared: "Forbidden Army, what are you doing to eat, don't pull people out!" Pull it out! ”

Immediately, the forbidden army did not hesitate any longer, grabbed Qiao's mother's hand left and right, and dragged people out.

Qiao's mother's hand was separated from Qiao Fengqi's arm, and her emotions became excited, at this time, what she needed to do most was to calm down and calm down!

Dragged from under the throne to the outside of the hall, there is still a distance, Qiao's mother is still dragged by the forbidden army, not struggling, but the corners of her mouth show a trace of hideous and indifferent, but full of mocking smile: "Your Majesty has been raising other people's sons every day all these years, but you hold that son in the palm of your hand like a baby!" If this son inherits the throne in the future, it will be really good, and he will give away the great rivers and mountains without knowing it! Haha, funny, funny! ”

"Stop!" Emperor Wu's face changed, he slowly stood up from the dragon chair, frowned and took a step forward: "What did you say?" What do you mean by that? ”

Qiao's mother pinned the hair that had just been scattered behind her ears, straightened her clothes, walked back to the front of the palace to guard Qiao Fengqi's side, and knelt down uprightly: "What the people woman said is true, there is no falsehood, Your Majesty is a Ming Jun, you can listen to this story, and then decide whether to kill the people and the sons of the people's women!" ”

Emperor Wu glanced at Qi Chun, how dare Qi Chun look at him, lowered his head and pretended not to know.

Emperor Wu stood in front of the dragon chair and walked a few steps, and then sneered: "You say, if you dare to bully the king again, you will not be spared!" ”

Qiao's mother finally breathed a sigh of relief, but everything was not a foregone conclusion, she didn't dare to relax, holding Qiao Fengqi's hand, as if giving birth to infinite courage: "Twenty years ago, the woman just gave birth, and she didn't even have a confinement yet, and she was full of happiness......

She is the concubine of the Li family, a famous family in Beijing, and when she married Qiao Zhenlin, Qiao Zhenlin was just a deputy general and was not favored by everyone. But in less than a year, Qiao Zhenlin was promoted to the commander of Jeju, and she was pregnant with Liujia, which was a double happiness. Qiao's family thinks she is a lucky star, and Qiao Zhenlin is also very good to her, neither her in-laws make things difficult, nor do you have concubines to worry about, and after giving birth to a child with peace of mind, she is at ease in confinement.

That night, Qiao Zhenlin came back very late, and as soon as he entered the house, he hugged the child tightly with a sad face.

Qiao's mother was uneasy, and after asking repeatedly, Qiao Zhenlin told her a secret.

It turned out that when he came back from patrolling the city today, he overheard a secret when he passed a side hall in the south of the palace.

A man and a woman whispered inside, and the man asked, "I haven't seen Quan'er for a few days, tomorrow when I enter the palace, you take the child to the imperial garden, I will accompany Your Majesty to pass there, and I will also take a look at him by the way." ”

"Okay, count it up, your father and son haven't seen each other for seven or eight days, and Quan Er told me yesterday that he misses Uncle Ji." The girl said softly, and suddenly she was coquettish again: "Dead ghost, if you don't come these days, you will say son as soon as you come, you don't want me?" ”

"Yes!" The man said.

The woman asked in a coquettish voice, "Where do you miss me?" ”

The man laughed a few times: "I want to think here, I want to ...... here"

"Nasty!" The woman smiled and scolded a few words, then exclaimed, laughed and fell into the man's arms, and the two quickly rolled into a ball.

Qiao Zhenlin looked through the gap in the woods and saw a couple of men and women hiding by the stone pavilion in front of him who were doing rebellious things. The moon is bright and beautiful, and the faces of these two people can be seen very clearly, it is the most noble woman in the world, and the man next to her is a petty official under the Zhongshu Sect!
