On the twenty-seventh day of the first month, Yongjiafang.

Deep in the southeast of the square, the mansion of the lord of Guide County, the voice of the people is sparse.

In the secluded mansion, white flags are hung high, yellow paper is everywhere, incense is pervasive, and white candles are bright.

Since the death of the hidden princess Zheng Guanyin, the five-day suspension will expire.

After the hour, mourning music sounded.

Liang Wujian, the young secretary of Taifu, stood in front of the mansion and greeted the visitors.

Pei Guangxiao, the secretary of Zongzheng Temple, stood under the spiritual shed and solemnly bowed his hand.

After all, Concubine Zheng was the daughter of the Zheng family in Xingyang, and when she was the crown princess, she was gentle and virtuous, not much inferior to the eldest grandson.

Concubine Zheng died, although the news was secret, but all major families heard the rumors, and the family concubines were sent to mourn.

Even so, people are extremely scarce.

In particular, this mansion is not large, only three cents, and a mourning hall occupies almost the entire courtyard.

Li Xuan was wearing a black mourning dress and a white cloth hanging on her left arm, standing at the deserted door of the East Cross Courtyard, looking at everything in the mansion calmly.

Especially in white linen mourning clothes, kneeling in front of the mourning hall, the county lord of Guide and the county lord of Wenxi Liu Yingdao, who were full of mourning.

The county lord of Guide is the last daughter of Concubine Zheng, and Liu Yingdao is the second daughter-in-law of Concubine Zheng, and she is her closest family member in Chang'an.

……

"The prince seems to be a little uneasy?" Ming Chongyan's familiar voice sounded behind Li Xuan, and he seemed to have made a discovery

Li Xuan didn't look back, but said lightly: "The people of the Zheng family, no one has come at all in the five days that the spirit has been suspended. ”

The Li family in Longxi is the husband's family, and the Zheng family in Xingyang is the mother family.

The daughter of the Zheng family died, no matter what, they should come to pay their respects, not to mention that Zheng Guanyin was still a concubine back then.

The other major families all sent people to come, but the Zheng family didn't even come to the concubines and subordinates, which was too much to say.

"The Zheng family should be here today, and they couldn't pull away a few days ago." Ming Chongyan wore a black robe, stepped forward from behind Li Xuan, and said side by side with him: "Zheng Yi was found dead in the ditch of Pingkangfang five days ago, and it seems that he was drunk and drowned. The prince thinks that it is the hand of the king of the East China Sea, or the hand of the Zheng family? ”

The King of the East China Sea is to prevent Zheng Yi from telling the mystery of the underground secret room of Li Jingye's Courtyard, and the Zheng family is to prevent the matter of Zheng Yi and the King of the East Sea from implicating the Zheng family.

They all have a motive to kill, and they all kill with their hands.

Li Xuan shook his head and said, "Real people may be wrong, Zheng Yi may really be drunk and drowned." ”

"Heh, the prince didn't dare to offend the Xingyang Zheng family!" Ming Chong looked at Li Xuan with a smile, and his words were all provocative.

Li Xuan nodded unexpectedly and calmly, and said: "Now that the war is imminent, as long as it is not in collusion with Tubo and expects the army to lose the war, then there is no need to kill them all, even if it is a British duke." ”

Li Xuan's deep gaze looked at Ming Chongyan, and Ming Chongyan's face suddenly became solemn.

Li Jingye's matter, Li Xuan reported to the emperor, and the emperor naturally would not hide anything from the Empress Wu.

Empress Wu knew, so Ming Chongyan, Fan Lubing, Yuan Wanqing, Miao Chuke and others also knew.

But these people are old foxes, and they all know what kind of words should rot in their stomachs.

Leaking forbidden words is not a light crime.

Looking at Ming Chongyan's solemn appearance, Li Xian turned his mouth and asked, "Real person, in the past few days, those who have been stared at by Qianniuwei should have not moved." ”

"No, those sons and daughters of the family, as well as those literati and writers, they all have their own things to do, and even many people don't even know about the death of Princess Xiyin." Ming Chongyan shook his head, his face already solemn.

The King of the East China Sea has never been easy to deal with, the last time the Taipingfang incident, Ming Chongyan thought that the King of the East China Sea had revealed some flaws, and it was easy to be caught, but more than ten days have passed, and he still hasn't found out anything.

On the contrary, it was the king of Nanchang, staring at the Tubo people, who unexpectedly caught Li Jingye's evil crimes.

The war between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo was about to begin, but Li Jingye's caravan was still smuggling ironware, salt, tea and silk with Tubo.

The Baiqi Division had already found some evidence of these things, but even they didn't expect that Li Jingye's trade route had been used by the King of the East China Sea.

Among them, I don't know how much information I have passed on to the Tibetan people.

Although it was used by others, there were also many culpables, if it wasn't for the fact that he didn't want Tubo to discover the secret too early, Li Jingye would have been convicted in prison a long time ago.

Li Jingye's matter was exposed, and the plans of the King of the East China Sea were also completely exposed.

If it weren't for the fact that the Great War was imminent and the British government had a huge influence in the army, Li Jingye would have been disposed of a long time ago.

The king of the East China Sea is trying to win over Li Jingye, and if he can't win him over, it will be of great benefit to destroy him in the next battle between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty.

The emperor saw it clearly, so he took a break from the wrath of the thunder.

Li Xuan didn't want to talk about Li Jingye, Li Jingye's matter had come to an end for the time being, and after cleaning him up, it would all be after the war.

"Today, he will definitely come, but it is only a matter of time." Li Xuan looked out of the door and said softly: "Maybe in the next moment, perhaps, after everything is over, if he misses today, he will never have any chance." ”

Ming Chongyan looked at Li Xuan's gaze in surprise, and suddenly saw that a white-haired old man in scarlet clothes walked in with white linen clothes under the support of a middle-aged man in green clothes, with staggering steps and sad eyes.

……

"Why did he come, didn't he say that his relationship with the county lord of Leling was not harmonious, and the county lord of Leling died early?" Li Xuan turned sideways to look at Ming Chongyan.

After the Xuanwumen Incident, the hidden prince Li Jiancheng and the hidden princess Zheng Guanyin only survived five daughters, among which there were only the second daughter Wenxi county lord, the third daughter Leling county lord and the fifth daughter Guide county lord.

Among the three, the marriage of the county lord of Wenxi is still harmonious, although Liu Yingdao is unable to go further because of the matter of the county lord of Wenxi, but the county lord of Wenxi gave birth to several sons for him after all, and the husband and wife are also in love.

The lord of Leling County married Yu Shanxun, the son of Hubu Langzhong and the founding man of Pingen County, Yu Qianchang, and Yu Shanxun finally achieved the order of Chaosan Doctor and Wen County, Xingluo Prefecture.

The relationship between this couple is quite unharmonious, and it is even rumored that the county lord of Leling was beaten by Yu Shanxun many times, and finally died of illness after more than 30 years of marriage.

Standing beside Yu Shanxun was Yu Siwen, the son of him and the county lord of Leling, Shangzhuguo, and Jincheng County, Zezhou.

The two of them have not been in Chang'an, Yu Shan returned to Mengjin's hometown after consulting Zhishi, and Yu Siwen took office in Zezhou.

Now it looks like the dust has just come from the place.

The county lord of Guide who stood up to greet Yu Shanxun was the most comfortable among the many sisters, and her husband was the son of Sun Fujia, the first champion of the Tang Dynasty.

But it's a pity that one, ten years after marrying the county lord of Guide, fell into the water and died.

I don't know if there is any secret in this, but the county lord of Guide and his husband have no heirs, and they spend their lives alone.

After Yu Shanxun and Liu Yingdao saluted, he took his son and knelt down in front of the mourning hall, sobbing silently.

At this moment, the movement outside the door sounded again.

A hurried sound of horses' hooves stopped outside the gate, and a faint quarrel sounded, and it seemed that quite a few guards were left outside the door.

Immediately after, a fifty-year-old man with a beard on his face, carefully supporting a petite fifty-year-old woman, walked in from the outside.

The two of them were dressed in black, with a white silk wrapped around their black left arm.

Ming Chongyan looked at the visitor with a surprised expression, and asked in a low voice, "Why is the governor of Anle Prefecture here?" ”

Murong Nuo, the governor of Anle Prefecture, the commander of the horses, the general of Zuo Xiaowei, the governor of Anle Prefecture, the king of Qinghai, and the son of the former king of Tuyuhun.

Li Xuan said indifferently: "That one is Princess Honghua, the righteous daughter of Emperor Taizong, and the daughter of the clan." ”

"Clan girl?" Ming Chongyan suddenly looked at Li Xuan with a look of surprise.

Li Xuan nodded and said: "That's right, the daughter of the clan, the daughter of the criminal courtier, was accepted by the emperor as a righteous daughter, the genealogy records, Princess Honghua is the granddaughter of Emperor Gaozu, but that's all, today, she traveled thousands of miles to Chang'an, whose daughter it is, it is already clear at a glance." ”

Behind Princess Honghua and Murong Nuo, the Governor of Anle Prefecture, there was also a middle-aged man in black, with the same left arm belt.

Murong Zhong, the general of the town army and the general of the right leopard Taowei.

The group once again knelt down under the mourning hall of the hidden princess Zheng Guanyin, like the previous three families.

……

Ming Chongyan looked at this scene and sighed softly: "I originally thought that there were not many descendants left of Prince Yin, but I didn't expect that except for the eldest daughter, there were no traces of the others. ”

The county lord of Wenxi, the princess of Honghua, the county lord of Leling, and the county lord of Guide can be said to be all here now.

"The first emperor is merciful." Li Xuan sighed lightly, and then said: "What happened back then, if it were a different ending, I'm afraid it would be different." ”

"Oh, why does it sound like the prince doesn't seem to like Prince Yin very much?" Ming Chongyan looked at Li Xuan inquiringly.

Li Xuan nodded directly without the slightest hesitation, and then said: "That's true, this king is not obscure, this king doesn't like Prince Yin, even back then, this king hopes that the first emperor can win." ”

"Why is that?"

"King Qi." A sneer appeared at the corner of Li Xuan's mouth, and said: "Back then, the most disliked thing around Prince Yin was King Qi, the so-called pro-gentleman is far from the villain, King Qi is a veritable tyrannical villain, Uncle Xi is close to him, and you can see how he is a person. ”

Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, didn't know how many people he pushed from Li Jiancheng's side to Li Shimin's side back then.

Li Jiancheng was outside of that year, and it was really deserved.

Pro-gentlemen, far villains, and people are divided into groups, these words are not unreasonable.

Ming Chongyan didn't know what to say for a while, and at this time, outside the door, a sound sounded again.

Li Xuan looked at the door and said softly: "Today, the last day of the funeral, those who should come and those who shouldn't come will come." ”

Ming Chongyan nodded slightly, and at this time, a familiar figure walked in from outside the gate, admonishing the doctor Xue Yuanchao.

The son-in-law of Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, is admonishing the doctor Xue Yuanchao, and instead of Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, he came to worship incense.

At that time, the husband of the county lord of Hejing, who was "not allowed to marry a woman with five surnames", although he was full of complaints, still had three sons with the county lord of Hejing.

Many things, not just what they say, what they do is the most important.

Li Xuan and Ming Chongyan were still standing under the courtyard on the east side, watching Xue Yuanchao walk towards the spirit shed with calm eyes.

After the calm of the previous days, finally, everything broke out completely today.

Soon, someone came to the door again, and this time, Li Xuan's face finally couldn't help but change slightly: "Why is he here." ”

A solemn middle-aged man in a scarlet robe walked into the courtyard steadily, and then walked towards the mourning hall.

"Zheng Guogong, Wei Shuyu, the assassin of Shaanzhou, he should have come instead of Wei Xiang, Wei Xiang is very affectionate, the imperial capital once praised it, and now although Wei Xiang has passed away for a long time, Wei Shuyu sent Concubine Zheng on his father's last journey, no one should criticize it, right?" Although Ming Chongyan's tone was relaxed, his face was very heavy.

Wei Shuyu. The son of Wei Zheng, he is here now, if he is allowed to meet the king of the East China Sea, the consequences will ......
