Chapter 174: Spreading the branches, Grandpa Guo can come by himself
The old man didn't say that. The old man came over today, and he really just wanted to recognize Mrs. Li, and Wei Xu was just passing by. If Miss Zhou is not happy, the old man will not be strong, and when Miss Zhou asks the emperor for a retrial of the case, the old man will also speak out to help. β
"Then I'll ...... First of all, thank you for the righteousness of the ancestors of the Li family. β
"Please also ask Miss Zhou to take more care of Xu'er, let him live as long as possible, and spread out more for the Wei family."
Zhou Mujiao couldn't help it: "Grandpa Guo, with all due respect, Wei Xu is only five years old this year, and there will be ten years before he can spread his leaves, in these ten years, I can't tell how many people will die in your Wei family, or if my treatment fails, Wei Xu will not live to that time, and your Wei family may really be eaten out by that time." β
Wei Guogong's face changed.
"However, if you just want to spread the branches for the Wei family and don't consider other factors, if the Wei Guo Mansion wants to continue, it is not impossible, it depends on whether the Guo Gong is willing or not."
"Miss Zhou, please speak!" Wei Guogong looked anxious, if there was another way, he would definitely not force Wei Xu!
Zhou Mujiao smiled faintly: "Although Grandpa Guo is nearly eighty, his body is still very tough. β
So what does the girl mean this week, let him have a few more children of his own?
Wei Guogong's face turned red.
Let Wei Guogong go to the branches and leaves by himself, this suggestion Zhou Mujiao was originally just to shut up Wei Guogong, after all, Wei Guogong has lived to such a long age, and he definitely doesn't want to be scolded for not being able to protect his old age, but he didn't expect him to be moved.
Zhou Mujiao's face was cold: "But if you spread the branches and leaves, you should keep in mind that you should not look for relatives within five suits, otherwise no matter how many you have, you will never live to be thirty-five years old." β
Wei Guogong stammered: "Miss Zhou, the old man is not-"
"If Grandpa Guo thinks that he is old, he can also help Wei Ming marry a few more wives and concubines, and it is the same, relatives within five suits, no matter how beautiful and sensible they are, must stay away."
"Miss Zhou, old manβ"
"The method has been told to Grandpa Guo, whether Grandpa Guo wants to open the branches and leaves himself, or let Wei Ming and your other grandsons come, Grandpa Guo can think about it when he goes back. By the way, those cousins in your family who are married, can be separated from each other, and those who really don't want to be separated will not be born, otherwise they will be born with a mutilated child, useless, and those who will not live for a long time will have physical disabilities or intellectual defects even if they barely survive. β
Wei Guogong turned pale: "What does Miss Zhou mean is that my Wei family's family illness is all because of my cousin's marriage?" β
"I can't rule out other possibilities, but at present, my family can't find any other reason for the time being except for the marriage of close relatives." Zhou Mujiao didn't want to see this person anymore, so she yawned, "If Grandpa Guo has nothing else to do, the younger generation wants to rest, and maybe he will let me enter the palace later, and if I don't have the energy to enter the palace, I will be beheaded every minute." β
Wei Guogong immediately resigned.
Zhou Mujiao is now the only savior of their Wei family, if Zhou Mujiao is beheaded, then their Wei family will really be finished.
As soon as Wei Guogong left, Zhao Yunjing came back with his back foot, and when he entered the door and saw the corridor connecting the two families by the Zhou family's housekeeper, he believed that the person who reported the news was not lying, and Zhou Mujiao really wanted to build the wall between the two families.
Zhou Mujiao's intentions for herself, Zhao Yunjing never doubted that something must have happened that would cause her to suddenly make a decision next time.
Thinking about it, there is only the option of Wei Guogong.
"Gillian, has Wei Guogong seen his grandmother?" Zhao Yunjing came in and went straight to the point, "What did he threaten you?" β
"Why are you back?"
The two sat down holding hands, and Zhou Mujiao said, "It's not a threat, I'm just preparing for a rainy day." During this time, I inquired in the palace and knew that the affairs of the Li family were widely implicated, and there were three concubines in the harem, all of whom were dealt with after the Li family's accident. β
The grade of the harem concubine, the queen is respected, and the next is the four concubines, and Concubine De is one of the four concubines, and she can use the word 'De', naturally her own temperament, family background, and means are all there, but because of the Li family's case, she has been dealt with so extremely!
"The Queen Mother was still the queen back then, she protected a concubine, that concubine was called Concubine Xue, from the Western Regions, short-tempered, but the emperor just liked her temperament and loved her very much, but Concubine Xue had several contacts with my grandfather when she was young, until my grandfather served as the governor of Liangguang, they had no contact, I heard that after the Li family had an accident, Concubine Xue had pleaded with the emperor, but the emperor was furious."
Zhou Mujiao said this, stopped, she looked up at Zhao Yunjing: "I suspect that it was no one else who framed the Li family back then, it was the first emperor." β
Zhao Yunjing's heart moved, and Zhou Mujiao continued: "I asked my grandmother about Concubine Xue, although my grandmother was not disgusted, her attitude was a little evasive, if I said that there was nothing between my grandfather and Concubine Xue, I don't believe it."
As a descendant of mine, I still have such thoughts twenty years later, and the first emperor is in the present, and the feeling is naturally stronger. King Zhou You's Beacon Fire Drama Princes, Wu Sangui Chongguan was angry and turned red, our first emperor killed a few eye-catching courtiers for the sake of Concubine Xue, what's so surprising? β
Zhao Yunjing nodded: "Men are born with an exclusive desire for women, and men who look at their own women more are regarded as strong enemies, and they will be punished." Not everyone is as tolerant of Chen Gongzi as I am. However, who are King Zhou You and Wu Sangui? Chong Guan was angry and said that Hongyan was reasonable, the princes of the Beacon Opera were too child's play, the country was ruined, and Hongyan was naturally not there, this King Zhou Youwang was really short-sighted. β
"Who's to say it isn't." Zhou Mujiao agreed, "So if my speculation is true, the current emperor may not know the truth of the year, he was already twenty years old at that time, and he had already begun to supervise the country, maybe the errand of letting the eighth prince go to disaster relief was proposed by him to the first emperor." β
Zhao Yunjing twisted his eyebrows: "Eighth Prince...... Is it the child of the Snow Princess? β
"Yes."
"The first emperor favored Concubine Xue very much, and he must have attached great importance to him and Concubine Xue's children, maybe when the first emperor and the ministers were discussing matters, he would also take the eighth prince with him. Since ancient times, only the crown prince has the right to participate in state affairs, but the eighth prince can sit on an equal footing with the prince, if you are the prince, can you sit still? β
Zhao Yunjing interface: "Therefore, after knowing that the first emperor had a gap with Lord Li, the prince had an idea, which coincided with the Lingnan flood, and the prince took the initiative to propose that the eighth prince go to the disaster relief, saying that it was to let him increase his knowledge and comfort the people on behalf of the Son of Heaven."
The 'bandits' who robbed the disaster relief food and disaster silver were arranged by the emperor, and those who cut down the eighth prince to serious injuries were arranged by our current emperor, and he wanted to take this opportunity to kill the eighth prince on the road. β
"It's a pity that the eighth prince didn't die, after going back, I guess I also said something beneficial to Lord Li, it is estimated that it can still clear the suspicion of Lord Li, the first emperor wanted my grandfather to die, but the eighth prince went against him, plus later Concubine Xue interceded, my grandfather will not die."
The two analyzed this point, and they were silent.
Previously, Zhou Mujiao thought that the current emperor was a rare Ming monarch, but now she found that the current emperor may be a despicable villain, or the culprit who harmed his grandfather's family.
I was in mixed moods at the moment.
