Chapter 386: Turnaround
"The master can do whatever he wants, and I will listen to the master for everything."
It is the best system that is most faithful to its master.
Ye Xia didn't answer, but her eyes flashed slightly, and she said with a smile: "I'm looking forward to the rebirth of the reborn girl you said in the future, and after learning about the future imperial power struggle in Great Xia, the fourth prince of the final winner she knows,
has been eliminated so early, she will still be happy for the benefit of her rebirth, but she will still have the confidence to do what she wants to do. ”
The system responded: "Master, the fourth prince is capsizing now, which is caused by our secret efforts, and with his city, as long as there is a clear one, it is difficult for him to guarantee that he will not turn over." ”
Hearing this, the corners of Ye Xia's lips hooked up an imperceptible arc: "Really?" Then I'll have to wait and see! ”
In order to facilitate walking around, Ye Xia dressed up as a man, and even the three of Song Fengyan were slightly disguised by Ye Xia, so as not to meet acquaintances in the capital, and then make extraneous branches.
It's not that she's afraid of meeting acquaintances, it's that before she has a firm foothold, it's safer to have more things than less things.
Now, she has to buy a Zhuangzi in the suburbs and a house in the capital, so that the four of them can settle down completely, instead of passively living in the dilapidated Zhuangzi provided by her former husband.
Waiting to be kicked out at any time. Thinking of the household registration certificate he saw in the baggage before, Ye Xia's eyes couldn't help but flash a touch of mockery, was he worried that their mother would come to entangle?
Scold! It is impossible to entangle, but it is necessary to come to the door, she is not the original owner, and she carries such a stigma of renunciation, which affects the future marriage and future of her children. In addition, the dowry is hers, how can it be cheaper for those wicked people who calculated and murdered her?!
There was still more than half an hour before three o'clock in the afternoon.
Palace.
Emperor Yongkang sat in the imperial study to review the folds, and as time passed, the imperial study was always quiet and audible. It is estimated that there will be half an hour before three o'clock in the afternoon,
Luo Fuhai was very anxious in his heart, he originally thought that the emperor who was sitting behind the imperial case at the moment, because of the dream he had last night, had a new idea about the rebellion case of Chengengong, and he would temporarily keep Chengengong and hand over the case to Dali Temple for retrial......
But who can tell him that this is getting closer and closer to three o'clock in the afternoon, and the emperor, his master seems to have forgotten last night's dream, and forgot the reminder he gave last night.
Forget that the male of the Cheng'en Gong Gate will be asked to be beheaded at the entrance of the vegetable market at three o'clock in the afternoon, and forget that the female dependents of the Cheng'en Gong Gate will be sold, sent to the Teaching Division, and sent to the red account in the army after three o'clock in the afternoon?
Desperate to die, what should he do now?
has a humble status, even if he is now the chief manager of the emperor's side, he is still a slave, a slave with a humble status, serving his master, and having no right to speak.
But he really doesn't want the master to regret it, he doesn't want the Duke of Cheng to disappear from the capital like this, he doesn't want the relationship between the master and the abolished queen to be completely frozen, and he doesn't want the abolished prince to hate the emperor for the rest of his life.
After the abolition?
The Abolished Prince?
What a good queen, what a smart and studious prince, because of the sudden rebellion, the emperor abolished the throne and abolished the position of the prince, if the dream that the emperor had last night was true, Luo Fuhai felt that the truth would be revealed one day, and at that time, it was not the time for the emperor to regret it and save everything!
"You seem to have something to say to me?"
Emperor Yongkang didn't know when to put down the red pen, and was looking at Luo Fuhai thoughtfully at the moment.
His thoughts were pulled back by this sudden sound, Luo Fuhai came into contact with Emperor Yongkang's sight, the corners of his mouth twitched, and finally pressed the impulse that surged up in his heart, and shook his head: "The slave doesn't." ”
Eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics, he is very sober at this time, and he does not believe that the emperor will forget that today is the day of the execution of Cheng'en Gong after what happened last night.
Emperor Yongkang stared at Luo Fuhai quietly for a while, picked up the red pen, and his deep black eyes that could not see the emotion fell back to the fold that had just been opened in front of him.
For a while, the silence in the imperial study was restored, but the atmosphere was obviously a little depressing and dull compared to before.
"Dad, I'm so sad."
Before leaving for the capital, Ye Xia told Song Fengyan that she had to call her "father" when she went out, and she must not call her wrong, so as not to cause trouble.
Song Fengyan nodded solemnly to assure, no, seeing that the men of the Ye clan such as his grandfather and uncles were locked up in the prison car, and many of the onlookers on the street were throwing rotten eggs at them, spitting and throwing rotten vegetable leaves, Song Fengyan's eyes were red, and he muttered in a low voice.
"Trust Dad."
Ye Xia hugged her daughter, lowered her eyes and looked at Song Fengyan Xiao Zhengtai, and could only give these three short words at this moment.
"Hmm."
Song Fengyan Xiaozheng held back the tears and nodded his little head.
"Hold on to the hem of Daddy's robe, be careful of being crowded out." Telling Xiao Zhengtai, Ye Xia hugged her daughter tightly, and held Song Feng's hand tightly with the other hand: "Don't be afraid." ”
Song Fengran nodded lightly.
He is not afraid, he believes in his mother!
In fact, not only Song Fengyan's three small eyes were red, and she couldn't bear to be humiliated by her relatives, but Ye Xia was also disgusted with the ancient system of joint sitting, and she felt sad and lamentable for the ignorance of the people.
As far as she can remember, Cheng Engong is loyal to Daxia, loyal to the royal family, and guards the frontier regardless of personal life and death, leading troops to garrison the border passes, guarding the territory of Daxia from being violated, guarding the people from being killed by foreign enemies, and being an official in the court, dedicated to the people, bowing and following, what is the result today?
The people greeted them with rotten eggs, rotten leaves, and saliva.
In the face of such insults and abuse, Ye Xia really wanted to ask Cheng Engong and others, do you regret it?
However, there is no need to ask, Ye Xia knows the answer - no. After all, they are loyal to their beliefs, and now they are wronged and treated like this by the people, they may be sad, but they will definitely not regret the contributions they have made to defend this country and the people of this country.
The mother followed the prisoner car all the way to the entrance of the vegetable market, watched the relatives being escorted to the beheading platform one by one, watched them being pushed down to their knees with dull eyes, and watched the babies who were still swaddling being placed next to the elders at will.
Letting out a cry like a cat's meow, Ye Xia's heart ached for a moment. Xu is emotions are too scorching through her eyes, Cheng Engong, that is, Ye Taifu, that is, the old father of Ye Xia's body,
Involuntarily looked in the direction where Ye Xianiang was standing, through the disordered hair falling in front of him, the old man saw the second daughter dressed up in men's clothes, hugging his little grandson, two little grandsons standing left and right, the four mothers were wearing coarse cloth robes, their eyes were red, and they were holding back tears, how excited they were.
Mrs. Ye's dull eyes couldn't help but be hot, he knew that the case of the Ye family would have an impact on the daughter of the foreign marriage, and now seeing the clothes of the four second daughters, it is not difficult for the old man to think of the current situation of his daughters and grandchildren.
He shook his head imperceptibly, intending to tell Ye Xia not to be impulsive, not to do impulsive things, it is good to be alive, and to lose his former rich status, as long as he can live.
At the same time, his eyes were full of guilt. Targeted by the DPRK and the Chinese parties, and calculated by people with intentions, the Ye family has fallen to this point, and the queen and the crown prince have been deposed, which is something that they will encounter sooner or later when they are in the court and in their own positions.
But the second daughter is like this today, purely because she is involved by them. She is a married daughter, she is no longer from the Ye family, nor is she a member of the harem, so she was rejected by her husband's family because she was born in the Ye family...... Mrs. Ye didn't think about it anymore, he looked away, lowered his head again, and suppressed the pain in his heart.
Collusion with the enemy country and rebellion with the queen and crown prince?
In his study, he secretly found correspondence with the enemy, caught the enemy's spies in his house, and found letters between him and the queen plotting to force the palace in the queen's palace...... These are all evidence, all of which are evidence for him, for the Ye family, and for the conviction of the crown prince, but ......
But the emperor, do you think that he is now in the position of the prince, and he is the queen's father, Cheng'en Gong, and his grandson is the prince, is it necessary for him to collude with the enemy country at this time, contact the queen, and can't wait to force the palace?
If you don't chill, it must be false.
The emperor was carefully taught by him, he was taught by him since he was seven years old, he was extremely satisfied with and optimistic about the student, and he was the only candidate for the Ming monarch in his heart during the period of the first emperor.
So, he helped this student to win in the change of imperial power, watched this student become the prince, watched him succeed in ascending to the throne, watched him sit on the dragon chair, and listened wisely to the courtiers.
Handle court affairs with ease. At that time, he was really pleased, agreed to his marriage proposal, and promised his eldest daughter to the other party, thinking that everything would continue to develop like this, and Clinker, the former student, the emperor who inherited the great treasure, slowly became suspicious of him.
didn't want the queen to be difficult, and didn't want his son to be trapped in his career, he chose to quit the court, stay in the house to quietly retire, and instructed his son who led the army outside and the second son who was an official in the court,
and the children of the clan who are officials in the court and abroad, they must be strict with themselves, manage their families and servants in the house, and behave in a low-key manner, and must not rely on being the queen's mother and son, or the prince's foreign family, to do anything that violates the law.
What I didn't expect was that even so, it didn't dispel the emperor's suspicion of him, and the suspicion of the Ye family only increased the emperor's suspicion, so that he was exploited by someone with a heart.
said that the reason why the Ye family was so deliberate to maintain their reputation was just to make complete preparations for rebellion, to avoid the rejection and resistance of the people afterwards, and it was difficult to stabilize the dynasty.
In front of human evidence and criminal evidence, he was really speechless, and the emperor did not give him a chance to defend himself, and followed the crusade against him by the party in the DPRK and China, and convicted him and the Ye family, and the queen and the crown prince.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Ye became more and more painful: Your Majesty, will you regret it one day? I regret treating my Ye family like this......
"Mother......
It was getting closer and closer to three o'clock in the afternoon, and seeing that there was less than half a moment, Song Fengyan Xiaozheng couldn't help but feel anxious, sensing his thoughts, Ye Xia rubbed the top of the little guy's hair: "Wait with peace of mind." ”
If the Dog Emperor doesn't know how to get lost after all, then wait for her!
Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the crowd, and then a male voice with an obvious stupidity floated into Ye Xia's ears.
"Don't pull me, you all walk away for me, let me in, I'm looking for Brother Ye, get out of the way, you all get out of the way for me...... Brother Ye! Brother Ye, I'm here to save you! ”
Squeezing into the crowd was a man with a long body, delicate and handsome appearance, about his early twenties, who did not listen to the words that came out of the man's mouth, and did not look at the man's too simple and clear eyes, giving people the feeling that this was a young man with an excellent family background and was raised particularly exquisitely.
In fact?
There is no doubt about the good family background, just think about it, the only son-in-law of King Jing's Mansion is the son of King Jing's Mansion, and King Jing is the only brother of Emperor Yongkang, can it be good in terms of family background?
"Lord Shizi, let's go home, there's nothing to see here, go back, Lord Shizi! Little please, if the prince knows that you ran to the entrance of this vegetable market, he will kill the minions! ”
The man was pulled by the sleeve of the seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy and squeezed to the front of the crowd with difficulty: "Let go of me, if you pull my sleeve like this and don't let go, I will turn around and punish you for being hungry, well, just starve for two meals, and your stomach will croak!" ”
"My son, you just punish the slave for not eating for two days, and the slave has to take you back to the house immediately!"
The little guy wants to cry or not, and it looks so pitiful.
"Don't, those bad people want to kill Brother Ye and his family, I want to save them, you are bad, let go quickly, I want to go to Brother Ye's side!"
The surname of the Great Xia Dynasty is Xia, and the name of King Jing's son is Mu Bai, for some reason, his IQ has not developed again after the age of five, and now he is seventeen years old, and his IQ is still at the age of five.
Maybe it's because I'm worried that my son will be bullied by my brothers and sisters, or maybe it's because King Jing has a deep affection for the late princess, anyway, since the death of Princess Jing, there has been no hostess in the entire Jingwang Mansion, and no concubines have been born.
Well, King Jing has been leading troops to fight for many years, except for the princess in the backyard before, he has never entered a concubine at all, as for the leader of the troops, is there a woman around,
It is said that this King Jing has never been smiling,
It is also known as the "cold-faced Hades", as long as the soldiers of the enemy country lead the troops with a pair of Shangjing kings, it is an ironclad matter to lose the battle.
With such a prince, a woman dares to approach at will?
Unless you are ready not to die, go forward and recommend yourself to the pillow seat.
It is worth mentioning that King Jing and Ye Qingcheng, the general of Zhenbei, have never suffered a defeat because they use soldiers like gods, and they are praised as the "God of War" by the people of Daxia before and after.
In the past 20 years, the country has been stable, and the people at the border have almost rarely been trampled by the enemy's iron cavalry, and there have been bloodshed.
But right now, to be specific, a few days after the Ye family's accident, the enemy countries bordering the northern border of Great Xia seemed to be a little impatient, however, the news reached the capital, and so far, it has not attracted the attention of Emperor Yongkang. Speaking of which, why the enemy country is moving at this time is nothing more than that Zhenbei General Ye Qingcheng is about to be beheaded.
The border pass has lost the "killing god" garrison, and the opportunity will not come again, take advantage of this to bite a few bites on Daxia, and the Tartars in the north will naturally not miss it.
"Shiziye, you really can't go over, Ye Sanye and his family have committed a serious crime, and the emperor ordered them to be beheaded, if you rush up like this, the emperor will be angry if he knows about it!"
The little guy Zhumo persuaded hard. Xia Mubai didn't listen to a word, broke the other party's hand, and ran to the questioning platform.
When the hour came, the warden looked at the sun hanging high in the sky, picked up the token, looked at the direction of the vegetable market for the last time, saw that there was no one in the palace, pursed his lips, and the hand holding the token tightened, and was about to throw it out, when the sound of galloping horses' hooves came from far and near, and then said: "The holy decree has arrived!" ”
The voice that came from was shrill and loud, and when he heard this, the eunuch secretly breathed a sigh of relief, put the token back on the table, and saw the eunuch chief Luo Gonggong beside the emperor jumping off the horse neatly, holding a Ming Huang holy decree and walking quickly towards the beheading platform.
It's clear that things are turning around. As for the prince of King Jing, before he could run up to ask the beheading platform, he was quickly grabbed by the little guy Zhumo's hand and grabbed his arm again, unable to move another step forward.
"Shiziye, you heard it, the emperor wants to hand over the case of Chengen Gong to Dali Temple for retrial, Ye Sanye, they are okay now, let's go back to the house quickly, the prince will definitely have to give a small board."
King Jing suffered from a serious illness in the garrison last year, and when he got the news, Emperor Yongkang was afraid that something would happen to his brother, and the Queen Mother wept all day long, so he immediately ordered that the only brother be recalled to Beijing for treatment, and at the request of the Queen Mother, King Jing was left in Beijing for a long time to recuperate, and there was no need to go back to the border to garrison.
Of course, King Jing was recalled, and other generals ordered him to take over and garrison him in the southern border of Great Xia.
"Master, it seems that Emperor Yongkang has lost his way."
The system was chattering in Ye Xia's mind.
"He's not in a stupor."
Ye Xia responded lightly.
"Actually, Emperor Yongkang is a good emperor, but this emperor has been sitting for a long time, and it is inevitable that he will commit the common disease of emperors."
"Since ancient times, for every emperor, there is always a fear that the authority in his hands will be coveted, so that he involuntarily gives birth to a suspicious temperament, and on this basis, a strong desire to control.
Once some people and certain things are out of his control, they begin to become more suspicious and do some unreasonable and ridiculous things, gradually turning from a bright monarch to a stupid one, leaving a stain on themselves in the history books of later generations.
And if you want me to say, the root of their suspicion is that they are not confident enough, if they are really a Ming Jun who is for the country and the people, deaf and clear-sighted, knowledgeable and good at making good use of talents, and diligent in political affairs, it is necessary for him to worry about the instability of the throne, and it is necessary to worry about being pulled off the horse when he falls asleep? ”
"Master, although what you said is right, but there are so many emperors from ancient times to the present, how many of them can do what you said? After all, people have shortcomings, especially emperors, one
Chao is at the pinnacle of power, worried that his authority will be coveted, and that he is worried that he will lose this glory and supreme position, and it is not difficult to understand that he is more suspicious. ”
"Huh! The birds are all gone, and the good bow is hidden; The cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooking! Gong Gao Zhen ...... Do these people deserve to be killed by the emperor? When it is used, it is a loyal and good general, and when the authority is secured, he is worried that the former loyal ministers and good generals will be high, and they will try to eradicate them. ”
"Master, this is really a helpless thing, let's not talk about that, what we have to do now is to help your mother and the crown prince get out of the predicament, and you and the three little masters must have a safe place to stay.
Oh, by the way, does the master have to think of a way to go to the prison to see your relatives, and by the way, find a jailer to help your relatives suffer less in prison? ”
"Yes." Ye Xia is not cold-hearted and cold-hearted, since he has arrived in this world, he can't see himself as an outsider. What's more, the relationship between the original owner and her family is very good, she is now free, and before the Ye family is released from prison, it is indeed necessary to take care of the jailers, so as not to suffer a serious crime in the prison.
"Second sister! You are the second sister, Mu Bai knows you, you are the second sister, but why is the second sister dressed like this? ”
After the men of the Ye family were escorted into the prison car and walked away, Ye Xia held his daughter in his left hand and his second son with his right hand, and the second son and the eldest son held hands with the eldest son. With the memory of the original owner, Ye Xia knew this prince of King Jing.
That's right, the white figure that suddenly came out and blocked Ye Xianiang's four ways was none other than Xia Mubai, the son of King Jing.
I don't know why, the prince of King Jing has a very good relationship with Ye Qingfeng, the third master of the Cheng'en Mansion, and often goes to the Cheng'en Mansion to find Ye Qingfeng to play.
Yes, the name of Ye Xia's body is Qingxia, the eldest sister is called Qingxin, and the younger sister is called Qinglan. In addition to the youngest sister Ye Qinglan is a concubine, the queen and Ye Xia also have two brothers and a younger brother, all of whom are concubines. In short, not counting the side branches of the distant point, not counting the two cousins of Chengengong, but only Chengengong's own lineage, the population is really simple.
There is an old mother, followed by Cheng Engong and his wife, and then there is a room for the eldest son, a room for the second son, and the third son and the queen, the second daughter Ye Xia, and the young daughter. As for the concubine's aunt,
Died of hemorrhage during childbirth, to go deeper, the appearance of this aunt was just an accident, if it weren't for the Duchess Cheng'en who gave birth to a daughter for her husband, the other party is afraid that she would not even have the identity of an aunt.
How so?
A little bloody, Duke Chengen was drunk, and it happened that Duchess Chengen took the original owner who had not yet left the cabinet out of the house and went to a well-known temple outside the city to fast.
But this is a clever one, before Cheng Engong woke up, until he was pregnant for five months, he was found and stabbed in front of the lady in charge, and the maid burst into tears and told what had been made up a long time ago.
Since it will be October at the time of the incident, and it will be winter after that, I will dress thickly to cover the inconspicuous pregnant belly, and in the beginning of spring, I will change into thin clothes, and the pregnant belly will be unexpectedly exposed.
In the eyes of that maid, it was as if God helped her. Because Duchess Cheng'en is kind, it is absolutely impossible for her to take out the fetus that has been formed, but this maid didn't expect that things were really as she wanted.
Seeing that she could fly on the branches and become a phoenix, unexpectedly, she encountered heavy bleeding during childbirth, gritted her teeth and insisted on giving birth to the child, but she lost a life by herself, and in the end it was all empty.
"Shh
Ye Xia let go of Song Feng's hand on Xiao Zhengtai, put his index finger on his lips, and motioned to Xia Mubai to stop making a sound, seeing that the other party was obediently covering his mouth, a smile crossed her eyes, let her daughter stand firm on the ground, and bowed to Xia Mubai: "His Royal Highness." ”
