254: See you off
Because she was frightened during the day, that night, she had a low-grade fever, Zhang Yan took care of it for a night, and in the early morning of the next day, the fever finally subsided, she breathed a sigh of relief, looking at herself in the mirror, a pair of rippling apricot eyes lost their former brilliance, with a blue and black color, and her face was haggard.
Liu Ying hugged his wife and comforted, "Okay, it's been relieved, you can go sleep for a while." ”
Zhang Yan nodded, and stopped talking. Thinking that it was precisely because of Zhao Yuan's actions that he had to suffer this catastrophe, he couldn't help but complain about Zhao Yuan by suffering at a young age.
But in any case, Zhao Yuan is his biological uncle in his blood. In order to avenge his sister Zhao Ji's revenge, he once sneaked into the Xinping Marquis Mansion alone and took him away - the granddaughter of Princess Lu Yuan, whom he thought was the granddaughter of Princess Lu Yuan, did not hesitate to face the Son of Heaven and the imperial power, but also wanted to seek justice for the niece that his deceased sister thought he thought.
- "Hold on,"
She tugged at her husband's coat and asked, "I want to ask you about that...... Zhao Yuan. ”
She couldn't speak, and only then did she realize that she didn't know what to call him.
For Zhao Yuan, she has a sense of respect, but in fact, because she hasn't spent much time with each other after all, she doesn't have any deep feelings.
At the mention of Zhao Yuan, Liu Ying's face turned serious.
"At that time, it was Su Kuang, the captain of the Northern Military Academy, who took him down in front of everyone and sent him to Tingwei Prison, and it is also a well-known fact that he kidnapped the eldest princess of Fanyang." He looked at his wife and pondered,
"Ah Yan, I know that he is your biological mother's brother after all, and if possible, you don't want to punish him. However, there is no reason to put it on the table. I still have to give a penalty. I thought that it was almost the New Year, and that I could give him a light sentence of one hundred lashes in the name of this and the blessing of the eldest princess, and then exile him to the border city to serve the punishment of Chengdan. ”
Zhang Yan's eyes were obscure.
Liu Ying thought it through, and Zhang Yan had to admit that this was already the best way to deal with it. It's just that I don't want to go.
He ...... I never knew there was such a person, and the first time we met, it was ...... such a scene. ”
Liu Ying was silent for a moment. After all, he said, "No matter what, it is a fact that he kidnapped the eldest princess in front of everyone." Even if his identity as the eldest princess's uncle is known to everyone, it is impossible for him to completely escape punishment if he does such a thing. Otherwise, the dignity of the royal family would be gone, and all the laws would be meaningless. I can make the flogging man lenient. And after arriving at the border pass, after a year or two, this matter will fade away, and then quietly release him, and then no one will notice this matter. ”
Zhang Yan's eyes were slightly red. threw himself into Liu Ying's arms, "Thank you." ”
"Fool." Liu Ying caressed Zhang Yan lovingly, "Between us, what else do you say thank you for?" ”
He paused for a moment and said, "If you really don't want to go in your heart. When Zhao Yuan set off, we went to see him off in person. ”
……
The Great Dynasty Meeting in the second year of the First Dynasty had just passed. On the Ba outside Chang'an City, Zhao Yuan had a shackle around his neck, and he was about to embark on the execution of serving in the north.
Because he had just received the flogging not long ago, although he did not hurt his muscles and bones because of the mercy of the prisoners, but after all, his movement was a little inconvenient, and before leaving Chang'an, Zhao Yuan frequently turned his head and looked at the direction of Qingcheng Gate (Xuanping Gate).
"Do you expect someone to see you off?"
The escort sneered.
"You have committed such a big thing, at this time, how can anyone dare to provoke you? I don't even know what you think, you dare to sneak into the Xinping Marquis Mansion and kidnap the eldest princess of Fanyang. What kind of noble family is the Marquis of Xinping, the eldest princess is the lady of the sky, you moved them, and now you can leave a life, it is already a blessing, it is already a mercy of the heavenly family, what do you want? ”
Because of the events of that day, whether it was Emperor Liu Ying or Xinping Marquis Zhang Ao, they all had a tacit agreement to hide the whole story, except for a few people on the spot, no one else knew the whole story, and the Tingwei officer naturally didn't know that the prisoner he was going to escort in front of him was actually Empress Zhang's blood uncle and the uncle of the eldest princess of Fanyang.
The shackles on his neck shook slightly, and Zhao Yuan laughed at himself.
Also
With such an identity, he committed such a big thing at the beginning, and now he can leave a life, and I think it is because Empress Zhang tried her best to come here. And it is precisely because of his existence that her pride in being born with the pride of the sky has been shattered, and at the same time it has brought trouble, and even her status at this time may not be able to be maintained, speaking of which, Queen Zhang may not be willing to see herself again, right?
He then turned around and said, "Let's go." "Yixingshan.
Behind him, the loess on the Baqiao was flying, and a cyclist in the distance hit a horse to catch up, and the Tsing Yi Huangmen who was sitting on it neighed and strangled the horse's hooves, "The people in front are waiting." ”
took out the token in his arms and shook it, and said respectfully, "My lord and lady will be here soon." ”
Zhao Yuan's eyes brightened up in an instant.
After less than a quarter of an hour, a carriage came from the direction of Chang'an City, the body was just the green oil cloth style used by the ordinary people, stopped under the Baqiao Bridge, the body paused for a while, lifted the curtain, and a girl in vermilion moire clothes got out of the carriage alone, but ten * years old, her eyebrows were picturesque, and her eyes were like water.
Zhao Yuan's neck and hands and feet were tied with shackles, and he still couldn't help but take a step or two forward and stepped forward.
His eyes fell on the shackles that sounded heavy, and Zhang Yan's gaze showed a sad look.
"Nothing." Although he was wearing heavy shackles, Zhao Yuan smiled heartily, "Actually, it's not heavy at all, and after staying for a long time, I also think the voice sounds pretty good." He looked left and right and asked, "What about the eldest princess?" ”
Zhang Yan replied, "She's fine, and now she can eat and sleep." I was going out of the city today, but I was afraid that she would be disturbed by her young age, so I didn't bring it out. ”
Zhao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, "In that case, I will be relieved." ”
Although the two of them are uncles and nephews, they are extremely close in blood, but they have never been together for a day since they were young, and they are actually extremely unfamiliar, and after saying a few words, they don't know what to continue.
"You-"
"You-"
Two people spoke at the same time. At the same time, they were silent, but they couldn't help laughing.
"I didn't know it was going to be like this."
Zhao Yuan said softly, "If I had known in advance, I wouldn't have come to Chang'an and appeared in your sight." However, I am still very happy that after my sister passed away, it is a good feeling to know that there is a relative in the world. ”
"I ......" Zhang Yan's expression was complicated,
"I don't know."
"Actually." Zhang Yan sorted out her thoughts for a while, and Fang continued, "I knew a few years ago that my biological mother was someone else. But I thought that Zhao Ji's family was gone, so I didn't bother to find your traces. Looking back on this change, I also feel very guilty. ”
"No, I don't." Zhao Yuan smiled freely,
"If Sister Ah is still in the world now. I must also hope that you will have a good life, not let you be troubled. Since you have been the daughter of Princess Lu Yuan for seventeen years, from now on, you will still be the daughter of the princess, everything is the same as before, and you continue to live your life. And I, too, will take care of myself, no matter what. It will not reveal the truth to anyone and cause you trouble. ”
Zhang Yan turned her face away, only felt that the corners of her eyes were sour, and she almost burst into tears.
She does value Lu Yuan more than this uncle who has only met for one or two sides, but. Under Zhao Yuan's transparent and awe-inspiring righteousness, he actually felt a little uncomfortable.
Zhao Yuan's gaze glanced at the green oilcloth carriage under the Baqiao not far away.
The horses pulling the cart roared. Although the coat is gray, it can be seen that it is a good horse, and a young chamberlain holds a horse whip and controls the horse, sitting on the seat of the emperor, and the curtain on the car is lowered, and it is impossible to see whether there is anyone inside. "Won't there be any trouble if you come out today?"
Zhang Yan was stunned for a moment, and quickly understood his metaphor, "No." ”
The corners of her mouth couldn't help but raise a sweet and relieved smile, "He...... They came with me. It's just that...... Waited in the carriage and did not come. ”
Zhao Yuan cast a clear gaze.
Because she cared about her wife, Liu Ying accompanied her to see her off. However, he is Lu Yuan's younger brother after all, and in the face of the complicated and tangled past in King Zhao's mansion back then, and Zhao Yuan, who is the brother of Zhao Ji, the person in question, is naturally reluctant to get out of the car to face it.
Zhang Yan didn't want Zhao Yuan to worry, so she said,
"Me and him, maybe the first reason was my uncle and nephew. But at this point, he means more to me as a husband first, and then an uncle. ”
This explains that Liu Ying will not be angry with herself because of the secret of her life that cannot be manipulated and influenced by herself.
Zhao Yuan then sighed, "I saw Your Majesty that day, he is a good man, you should be able to be happy if you follow him." ”
Zhang Yan said "um" lightly, her pretty face turned red, and Zhao Yuan hesitated for a moment and asked, "Eldest princess, is your name good?" ”
"Yes."
"It's a good name."
Zhao Yuan praised and replied, "It's just that although it's good, it's a girl after all." As a queen, you still need a prince to be truly stable. ”
"Don't worry." The corners of Zhang Yan's lips curled slightly, "I know it in my heart." ”
I have paid a lot of money for this marriage, and because of this, I will not allow myself to have a bad life.
……
The branches and leaves of the Baqiao willow tree are light, and they still maintain a touch of verdant in the autumn colors. Zhang Yan stood under the hanging willow branches, watching Zhao Yuan's back disappear into the yellow sand at the end of the straight road from a distance, her heart was astringent, and tears flicked down gently.
"He is also benevolent, and he is at ease."
The curtain of the car was raised, Liu Ying's expression was uncertain, and she saw that her wife was in tears, so she persuaded her.
"I know."
Zhang Yan gently wiped away the teardrops on her cheeks, not wanting Liu Ying to worry, so she barely showed a shallow smile, but she was a little uneasy after all.
"He's my uncle after all!"
In the usual eighteen years of their lives, they didn't know that there was such a relative in the world. The first time they met, it was a hostage-taking confrontation with her young daughter. Zhao Yuan did not get any benefits because he had a nephew who was the queen, but was sentenced to prison and willingly served the sentence because of her.
Han Changliu sighed, drove the carriage back to Chang'an City, the blue-brown curtain hung down, covering Liu Ying's face in the shadows, Liu Ying endured and endured, and finally said in displeasure, "He is your uncle, so what am I?" ”
****************
Concentrate:
In the Han Dynasty, the punishment was not too severe. Theoretically, a person like Zhao Yuan who kidnapped the eldest princess of Fanyang should be the most serious family punishment. However, after all, his real identity is Ah Yan's maternal uncle, a good uncle, of course Liu Ying can't really be punished so harshly, and he doesn't even have the last first-class corporal punishment (including black, slashing, slashing, and palace punishment) but exculpates it for various reasons, and finally sentenced to flogging and imprisonment again, among which the flogging punishment is still a formality, and the real punishment is imprisonment.
Chengdan is the heaviest of the prison sentences, and the sentence for tongs is five years, with men as Chengdan and women as Chengdan. It mainly refers to the construction of cities, but it is not limited to the construction of cities.
