Chapter 393: I don't have that face
Almost half an hour ago, the cold palace.
"Slut! You're proud, aren't you? ”
The truth of the conspiracy between the three princes and Cen Shilang to frame the queen and Cheng Engong to collude with the enemy country to rebel was revealed, and the two were inevitably convicted by Emperor Yongkang.
has a close relationship with Cen Guifei, that is to say, framing the queen and framing Chengengong to secretly collude with the enemy country to rebel is not only led by the third prince and Cen Shilang, among which Cen Guifei also plays a key role in the whole incident.
After Luo Fuhai's report, Emperor Yongkang was extremely angry at Cen Guifei's behavior, and the more angry Cen Guifei was, the more guilty he felt about the queen, so the holy decree of reinstating the queen and punishing Cen Guifei was issued together.
Cen Guifei, in just a few days when the queen was deposed, she was really proud, she could wake up with a smile in her dreams, sit quietly and wait for the queen's dignity to fall on her, and wait for the third prince, her emperor to be canonized as the crown prince,
But she didn't think about it, the bad news came to her ears one after another, panicked, overwhelmed, for fear that she would be affected by the bad news and lose everything she had now, but no matter how scared she was, no matter how panicked she was,
After all, what should have come has come, in this regard, Cen Guifei was stunned for a long time, and as soon as she came to her senses, she knelt in the dormitory and cried as if she was wronged. She really didn't expect that, no, she should have thought that there are no absolute secrets in the world, and since she has done it, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no mistakes and traces.
In an instant, she was demoted from a noble concubine to a concubine, and moved from a luxurious palace to a cold palace, such a huge disparity made Cen Guifei unacceptable, but there was an emperor's holy purpose, not that Cen did not want to, so he could maintain the original state.
The heart was like ashes, and all the clothes worn on Cen Shi's head and body were taken down by Luo Fuhai's palace maids, and even the gorgeous palace clothes he wore were replaced by ordinary women's dresses.
With a bloodless face and dull eyes, he stepped into the gate of the cold palace, and happened to meet the queen who had already changed into the clothes that the lord of the six palaces should wear and the bead jewelry he should wear, and the cards that the lord of the six palaces should enjoy.
It's just that before she could take a step, she was grabbed by the arms of two palace attendants and trapped in place. "Palm." Ye Qingxin stood in the center of the courtyard dignified and indifferent, her face was slightly sickly pale, she looked at Cen Shi quietly, and the words slowly overflowed between her lips and teeth.
The next moment, the crisp sound of the palm of the mouth sounded continuously in the courtyard, Cen Guifei struggled, wanting to continue to insult Ye Qingxin, but she didn't have the slightest chance to open her mouth, for a while, Ye Qingxin's shallow, non-angry and self-righteous voice spread out again: "Okay." ”
Rong Fang withdrew his hand and retreated behind Ye Qingxin.
"Cen Shi, is it difficult for you to accept the current reality? But there is no way, people are watching the sky, when you join forces with your mother and good son to frame this palace and frame Chengengong,
It is destined to be not far from you today. After all, the heavens are clear, justice is at ease in the hearts of the people, and there will always be a day when the truth will be revealed for what has not been done.
The relatives of this palace have also arrived, it can be seen that if you do many evil things, it is not that you will not report it, but the time has not yet come, and once the time comes, the evil you did in the past will definitely bear fruit on you. ”
After a slight pause, Ye Qingxin withdrew the gaze that fell on the Cen family, calmly walked to the gate of the cold palace, and left a sentence: "The days of the cold palace are not sad, live well,
By the way, thank you for your 'kindness' to visit Hongu yesterday and inform Hongu of such a great event. Cen's mouth was swollen, and he turned his head to stare viciously at Ye Qingxin's back as he walked away,
The hatred in her eyes was almost overflowing, she wanted to scold angrily, she wanted to curse Ye Qingxin fiercely, but her lips were painful and swollen, and she couldn't open them, so she could only make a "hmm" sound full of anger and hatred.
The master was acquitted, and the people in the house were naturally exempted from responsibility, no, Ye Xia accompanied Mrs. Ye and other relatives back to the mansion where the plaque of the Cheng'en Mansion was hung again, and what they saw was from the gate to the main hall,
Even the courtyards are orderly and clean, and those confiscated family businesses were completely sent to the mansion by Emperor Yongkang not long after Cheng Engong and others stepped into the mansion.
Xu was to appease the Cheng'en Mansion, and Emperor Yongkang also gave him several carts full of things. However, the masters of the Cheng'en Mansion were not happy about these rewards and the return of the family property to their own hands.
Also, what is there to be happy about being imprisoned, and even almost parting from life and death, and being mired in the "quagmire", and it is difficult to keep their dignity and pride?
To put it nicely, Emperor Yongkang's approach is nothing more than beating a stick to give a sweet date to eat, but the Chengen Mansion, the Ye family's previous stall, is it just a stick?
No, it's not! Manchu men, regardless of age, were convicted and beheaded at the entrance of the vegetable market, female dependents, the old ones were sold into slavery, and the young ones were either sent to the red tent in the army or sent to the Jiaofang Division.
If it weren't for the mercy of God, a miracle would have made the Ye family's case reveal the truth in time, and the final result would have been known without much thought. But...... In the face of this extremely painful disaster in life,
Whether it was Cheng'en Gong, or Ye Qingcheng, the general of Zhenbei, or Ye Qingming, who was not a low official in the court, and other Ye clansmen, they were able to "be reborn after the catastrophe", and none of them had a grudge against Emperor Yongkang.
Well, maybe some people have resentment and hatred in their hearts, but in this era when the imperial power is supreme, in this era when artists break the law and the clansmen sit together, who can put their resentment against the emperor on their lips?
Watching the relatives go back to the courtyards to freshen up, Ye Xia sighed secretly, and when Mrs. Ye and Mrs. Ye returned to the main hall refreshed, comforted the relatives with a smile, and told these relatives about what had happened in Beijing in recent days.
Thinking that Song Fengyan was still waiting for her to go back at home, he couldn't help but get up and say goodbye, clinker, Mrs. Ye suddenly mentioned her marital status, knowing that it was impossible to hide it, Ye Xia simply said bluntly,
Tell her loved ones about her and her three children. It was determined that she was abandoned by her husband's family, and when she learned that the three Song Fengyan brothers and sisters were removed from the family tree, up to Mrs. Ye and down to Ye Xia's nephews and nieces, they were all filled with righteous indignation, glaring angrily one by one, gritting their teeth, and they couldn't let go of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion.
The attitude of relatives towards the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion undoubtedly moved Ye Xia and warmed her heart, but she didn't want to have a big deal with the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion in the matter of marriage, and show jokes to the magnates in Beijing.
After making tea and dinner, all she wants is to turn the resignation into a reunion and get back her own dowry, it's as simple as that. What's more, the three brothers and sisters of Song Fengyan are the heirs of the Marquis of Weiyuan, even if they have been removed from the family tree, half of the blood flowing in their bodies still belongs to the Song family, and this cannot be changed.
"Big brother, second brother and third brother, you can send it here, I'll walk back not far away."
Outside the gate of the Cheng'en Mansion, Ye Xia smiled with his eyebrows, and said to the two brothers and the third brother Ye Qingfeng, and wanted to take the food box that Ye Qingfeng helped carry. "That's it, third brother, you personally send your second sister home, so that grandmother and father, as well as me and your second brother, can rest assured."
Just after the disaster of prison, there are a lot of things to deal with when they first return to the house, Ye Qingcheng and Ye Qingming are embarrassed to walk away, but they are not worried that Ye Xia will go home by himself, so Ye Qingcheng looked at Ye Qingfeng and ordered.
"Even if the eldest brother doesn't say it, I plan to send the second sister home!"
Ye Qingfeng was a man as gentle as jade, he smiled, very warm, he said, waved his hand to the two brothers, and then beckoned Ye Xia to sit in the carriage in the house. "Big brother and second brother, goodbye!"
Ye Xia lifted the bamboo curtain on the car window, looked at Ye Qingcheng and Ye Qingming, and said goodbye again with a smile.
The carriage slowly drove forward, Ye Qingfeng pursed his lips, and his clear and beautiful voice came out of his throat: "Second sister, why don't you allow me and my eldest brother and second brother to go to the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion?" ”
Ye Xia smiled: "There's no need to be so serious, the reason why I stopped you and the eldest brother and the second brother from doing that is just because I don't think it's necessary." That person is Yan'er's father in the end, and he chose to leave me from the house.
Deleting the names of Yan'er and their brothers and sisters on the family tree was not his intention, he just sent us out of the house to live in a way that he thought was good for our mother. otherwise
I'm afraid that I'm already dead in the backyard at this time, and Yan'er and they don't have me by their side, even if they stay in the Hou Mansion to live, I'm afraid that life will be sad, and if it doesn't work, it is possible to die in two or three years. ”
"They dare!"
When Ye Qingfeng heard this, his face immediately turned gloomy. "What dare not? The back house of a wealthy family is the most lacking in selfishness, and the children are young, and they don't need much means to die young. Besides, the children have no family to rely on.
I don't have the support of this mother, Mrs. Hou is the daughter of the Cen family, and that person's concubine is Mrs. Hou's niece, for her own interests, it is inevitable to use some means on the children. ”
"That old woman in the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion deserves to die, and Song Shaoqian's concubine deserves to die too!"
Weiyuan Hou Shizi Shaoqian, before the accident in the Chengen Mansion, Ye Taifu and Ye Qingcheng brothers were quite satisfied with this son-in-law, and now, the master of the entire Chengen Mansion feels that Song Shaoqian is not responsible.
Annoyed that Song Shaoqian was ruthless, he forced Ye Xia Niang and the four of them out of the house like that, and let the four of them live on a dilapidated Zhuangzi. "Sometimes life is better than death, you don't have to be angry."
The corners of Ye Xia's mouth smiled, and his eyes were clear and calm: "If what I expected is not bad, the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion is estimated to be in chaos now!" ”
Hearing the meaning of her words, Ye Qingfeng sneered: "That's what they deserve!" ”
The Cen family was sent to prison, and all men were sentenced to new sentences regardless of age, and the disposition of the female dependents was the same as that of the female dependents of the Ye family before, and the previous age was sold into slavery.
The young and young are either sent to the red tent in the army or to the teaching department, and they can never be redeemed. With such a heavy sin on her back, can the life of Mrs. Cen and her niece be better?
"So we don't need to be angry and make ourselves angry, now the Cen family and the Xiao Cen family have lost all their support, not to mention whether they can continue to live a peaceful life in the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion,
just wants to go out of the house and intersect with the ladies in the circle, but it is estimated that he will not have the face to appear in front of people. And if they lose their dependence and the trust of the people next to them, they will be more painful to live than to die. ”
As Ye Xia said, not long after Emperor Yongkang issued a holy decree and posted the notices in the palace on the walls of the four city gates, in the courtyard of the Marquis of Weiyuan and the concubine surnamed Cen of the Marquis of Weiyuan,
Like a competition, from time to time there was the sound of throwing things and taking the maid out of anger. At the same time, the mood of Weiyuan Hou and the prince Song Shaoqian was not much better, the two of them sat in the study, silent for a long time, and Weiyuan Hou made the decision, and gave Mrs. Hou the stewardship of the Cen family, and moved to live in the small Buddhist hall in the house from now on, and they must not take a step out of the Buddhist hall in this life;
Xiao Cen was directly sent to Zhuangzi to fend for himself, as for the daughter and son born to Xiao Cen, they stayed in the house to live, but if it was not necessary, they were resolutely not allowed to step out of the hospital. This is a decision made for the future of Mrs. Hou Cen and Xiao Cen,
In addition, Wei Yuan Hou and Song Shaoqian, the prince of the family, hurriedly went to Zhuangzi to pick up Ye Xia Niang and the four back to the Hou Mansion, and persuaded Ye Xia with good words to invalidate the letter of resignation, and the two lived together again. Wei Yuanhou arranged it properly,
But Song Shaoqian bluntly said that he had no face to appear in front of his wife and children, and he had no face to make shameless demands on his ex-wife, in short, he didn't want to go to Zhuangzi and didn't want to obey the arrangement of Marquis Weiyuan.
Angry Wei Yuanhou was furious, and analyzed the pros and cons, and in the end, Song Shaoqian had to go to Zhuangzi, but what he saw was that the courtyard was empty, and there was no wife and children at all.
Song Shaoqian was anxious, and carefully searched in the entire courtyard, in every room, but still couldn't see the familiar figure of his wife and children, almost instantly, this Weiyuan Hou Shizi covered his chest,
His expression was full of pain. At this time, Song Shaoqian returned to the Hou Mansion in despair, and when he saw his son like this, Weiyuan Hou "chuckled" in his heart and called people to the study for questioning.
"What's wrong? Why are you the only one who comes back, Ye and Yan'er and their brother and sister? ”
His brows were furrowed, Wei Yuanhou sat behind the bookcase with a cold face, stared at Song Shaoqian, and when he saw that this son was silent, he couldn't help but be annoyed, and slapped him heavily on the bookcase: "Speak, don't put on this immortal appearance in front of you and me!" ”
Slowly, Song Shaoqian raised his head, and his eyes focused on Wei Yuanhou: "What does the father want his son to say?" Suddenly, Song Shaoqian raised his voice, his eyes red:
"What exactly do you want your son to say? Knowing that there was a problem with Cheng Engong's case that day, Ye begged you again and again, and even knelt in front of you and cried, begging you to help Cheng Engong say a word in front of the emperor,
You were able to hand over the case to Dali Temple for careful review, and you were worried about being implicated, so you resolutely rejected Ye's request. That's not all, in order to help Xiao Cen's family ascend to the throne, the mother used the excuse of removing trouble for the Hou Mansion.
I want Ye's life, my son doesn't agree, please talk to my mother, don't do that to Ye, after all, Ye is married to me, give birth to three children for me, honor my grandmother and in-laws, treat nephews and nieces well, husband and children, I can't find the slightest mistake, but what did you say to me?
You said that the Ye family committed the crime of rebellion, said that the queen and the prince were deposed, and said that they were also the daughters of criminal ministers, and it would not be beneficial for the Hou Mansion to keep them. This is the attitude you and your mother had towards Ye at that time,
I beg you to be useless, I can only think of abandoning the Ye family, and I am worried that without my own mother by my side, Yan'er and their brothers and sisters will be bullied in a place that I can't see in the house, and they will lose their lives in a serious accident, and I will endure the heartache to persuade you and my mother to remove the three of them from the family tree, so that the Ye family can live outside with the children.
I thought ...... I thought that I would take care of it secretly, the four of them could live with whatever they wanted, clinker, they were gone, I couldn't find them, I couldn't find Ye's, I couldn't find Yan'er's brothers and sisters, father, you tell your son, why did your son fall into such a fate as his wife's separation? ”
Tears poured out of his eyes uncontrollably, and Song Shaoqian was almost suffocated in pain, but Wei Yuanhou asked with a calm face as if he hadn't seen it: "You mean that the Ye family and Yan'er are not on the Zhuangzi you arranged?" ”
"Didn't my father hear clearly? No, the four of Ye's mothers are all gone! ”
Covering his face, Song Shaoqian squatted on the ground and cried.
"Look at your unproductive appearance, where can a woman from the Ye family go with her three children? As a father, I think you should go to the Cheng'en Mansion now, and the four of the ten ** Ye family and their mothers are there! ”
The more Weiyuan Hou spoke, the more determined he became, but when he heard Song Shaoqian, he couldn't hide his pain, and asked in a dumb voice: "How can my father be so determined?" ”
"If you want to go, you can go, and ask so much what are you doing?" Wei Yuanhou scolded angrily.
"Even if the Ye family takes Yan'er and they are now in the Cheng'en Mansion, does the father think that his son can step into the door of others?"
Getting up, Song Shaoqian wiped away the tears on his face, turned around and walked out of the study: "I won't go, it's good now, if the Ye family comes to me to replace the book of resignation with a book of resignation, I will do it, I don't want to lose even the last trace of face in front of my wife and children!" ”
"Nonsense! The queen was reinstated, the prince was reinstated, and the Ye family had an official position, and all the officials were reinstated, in view of the sins suffered by Cheng'en Gong and the queen and the prince in front of him, if there was no other accident,
The crown prince will definitely inherit the unification from the emperor. Before, our house was very sorry for the Ye family, but no matter what, our house has had an in-law relationship with the Cheng'en Mansion, as long as you kneel in front of the Cheng'en Mansion and admit your mistakes and coax the Ye family more, even if it is a request, if your father doesn't believe that the Ye family will not come back and continue to live with you! ”
"Does my father think that the Chengen Mansion is easy to deceive? Thought Ye would care about a man who had abandoned her? ”
Song Shaoqian turned his back to Wei Yuanhou, laughed at himself, and resolutely left.
Wei Yuanhou was furious, and swept down the official folds on the bookcase: "Son! O son of a! ”
After a long time, Wei Yuanhou suppressed his anger, calmed his breath, got up and walked out of the study, and went to the dormitory where his mother lived. I wanted to keep the Ye family abandoned, and the children born to the Ye family were removed from the family tree.
Don't let my mother know, but the accident happened suddenly, and now I can help save the relationship with the Cheng'en Mansion, and I can smoothly take the Ye family and the three children back to the house, except for the old mother, no one else can do it.
Wei Yuanhou thought so, only to feel that his mouth was very bitter.
It's not that he didn't want to help Chengen Gong speak in front of the emperor, but he couldn't help, because with the in-law relationship between the two of them, if he helped Cheng Engong say a word in front of the emperor, it was difficult to guarantee that the emperor would not link the cases committed by the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion and the Chengen Mansion together, and then punish the crime together with his Weiyuan Marquis Mansion.
The marquis is the third generation of hereditary titles earned by his ancestors by military exploits, and in his generation, it is the third generation, that is to say, when his son becomes a lord, at least he is an uncle, if before that,
What great achievements can the two of them make, maybe the emperor will be happy and make a decree that his son will inherit the title from him at the same level. In this way, the marquis of their mansion will undoubtedly inherit four generations, what a glorious thing, how can he not think about it too much, and at the request of the Ye family, go to the emperor to sing a duet with the emperor?
Convicting Cheng'en Gong and abolishing the crown prince after the abolition is a decision made by the emperor without going through the trial of Dali Temple, but anyone who has eyes will not anger Long Yan.
However, everything is really unpredictable, who would have thought that there was really a problem with the case of the Ye family, and there was a big reversal without warning? Who would have thought that the case of the Ye family was the third prince and his maternal grandfather Cen Shilang,
and his mother Cen Guifei teamed up to frame? The most troublesome thing is that they don't know what kind of "good luck" they have taken from the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, they are not only in-laws with the Chengen Mansion, but also with the Cen Shilang Mansion......
So much so that there was an accident with the Ye family in front of him, in order to protect himself, he listened to the words of the woman from the Cen family, and couldn't tolerate the Ye family in the house, forcing his son to divorce his wife, and had to remove the children born to the Ye family tree from the family tree.
send the four of them out of the house; Now that the queen has been reinstated, the crown prince has been reinstated, the Ye family has been acquitted, but the Cen family has been imprisoned, and the three princes have been abolished as princes.
Confined in the house, Cen Guifei was stripped of her concubine position, demoted to a concubine, and put into the cold palace...... Cen Guifei, Cen Clan's niece, Xiao Cen's sister-in-law, this Cen clan is Cen Shilang's blood relative,
The Cen family was convicted, even if the emperor would not be angry at the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, as the big and small Cen family, what face would he have to appear in the banquet held by the ladies of the various mansions in the future?
That's it, the question is, there are two women like the big and small Cen family in the house, his grandchildren and granddaughters, and the unmarried offspring girls of his Song family, which family is still willing to marry their daughters in and marry him as a wife of the Song family?
Before Wei Yuanhou made a decision about the Cen family and Xiao Cen family's aunt and nephew, he was really big, and he didn't choose to ask for his life like the Cen family did for the Ye family, it was nothing more than thinking of the love between the two husband and wife for many years.
Cen didn't make trouble, she was afraid, yes, she was very afraid, afraid that the queen and the Chengen Mansion would stand out for Ye Xia, afraid that the queen would directly give her a cup of poisonous wine, and afraid that the ladies who had befriended her in the past would laugh at her, so when Wei Yuanhou said that he wanted him to move to live in the small Buddha hall in the mansion and not take a step out of the Buddha Hall in this life, he was unwilling and agreed to the end.
She is stubborn, and only by stubbornness can she deceive herself and live in peace.
Death, Cen never wanted to die, so she didn't make any arguments, and after Wei Yuanhou left her courtyard, she ordered the old mother and maid around her to move to the Buddhist hall to live, and didn't care about the fact that her niece Xiao Cen was going to be sent to Zhuangzi by the Hou Mansion to fend for herself.
"What did you say?"
Mrs. Song was stunned, obviously shocked by what Wei Yuanhou said and had auditory hallucinations for herself, and when she saw Wei Yuanhou's face look ashamed, she made sure that she had heard correctly, and that she had not had auditory hallucinations.
His good son and daughter-in-law...... carried her old thing behind her back, forced her grandson, the prince of the Hou Mansion, to divorce his wife, and removed the three Hou Mansion sons and young ladies from the family tree, which ...... Is this a brain caught in the door?
