Volume 1: The First Birth (The Future Is Unclear, Friend and Foe Are Inseparable; The clues are really real) Chapter 8 Chang'an, I'm back

When Liu Xiaoniang was still the queen of the Great Zhou Pei, she actually didn't have much opportunity to pay attention to political affairs, because although her father and ancestors knew that she was smart and well-read since she was a child, but they thought that although the current national fortune was not richer and stronger than the prosperous era, in the end, it was still peaceful. Re-study the history of the scriptures, but also beware of the dilemma that the children of the family are not allowed to go to school, but the heirloom will not be hopeless.

If it weren't for her relationship with Yingyang Zhenren, she visited the door, and sometimes those scholars visited real people because of the imperial examination, and there was no shortage of arguments about government decrees to express their opinions, so that she also heard a little about officialdom and civil affairs, and because she had nothing to do in her spare time, she was used to discussing with her, and she had a deeper understanding of the world and government affairs.

However, when she entered the East Palace, it was inconvenient for her to leave the palace, and then she was forbidden to step in the deep palace, but it was not as free as when she was in the boudoir.

Her father and grandfather never told her about the government affairs of the previous dynasty, and it was not until the disaster at the door of her family that she suddenly felt sinister.

Her grandfather was deeply trusted by Emperor Dezong, and he advocated the establishment of a long-term leader back then, and finally made Emperor Dezong adopt the advice.

When Cui's was alive, the harem concubines were almost vacant, and even the current Empress Dowager Wei has been unfavored for many years, or Dezong's mother Empress Dowager Lu was dissatisfied with Cui's illness and forced Dezong to be wet with rain and dew, and Wei's real luck was to give birth to the eldest son of Dezong.

However, when the eldest prince was fifteen years old, for some reason, Dezong not only did not establish Wei as the queen, but instead married the deceased Cui Hou's sister Xiao Cui as his wife, and soon after, Xiao Cui gave birth to a son-in-law.

When the little prince was four years old, Emperor Dezong suddenly coughed up blood and fainted, and the dragon body was really worrisome.

So the courtiers advised the prince, Pei Xiang was worried that the country would have no long-term monarch would cause the autocracy of the ministers, and the advice to establish the chief was really Geng Geng's loyalty.

After Dezong adopted it, he ordered Pei Xiang's eldest son to be the prince and young master to teach the prince, and gave him a marriage, so that Pei Xiang's eldest granddaughter could marry the prince as a concubine.

However, only one year, Dezong died of illness, the prince ascended the throne, and for another two years, Pei Hou's father and mother Pei Zheng were condemned.

Thinking about it now, everything was still so rushed and seemed to be without warning.

The reason is that the grandfather admonished the sage, saying that the new Turks revived the Guangzheng alliance and the ambition Zhang Xian, coincided with the new Turks want to raise troops in the Great Zhou subject country Chuz, the king of Chuz asked for help, and the grandfather urged to send troops to help prevent the new Turks from sitting on the big expansion, the sage did not think about adopting the advice, and ordered Zheng Ying, who was then the governor of Shazhou Zhichong, to be the general, and led the troops to support Chuzi, and later, in order to protect everything, Yao Qian, the governor of Yizhou, was the deputy general.

Zheng Ying is the eldest brother of Empress Pei's mother, because the Zheng family's sons and nephews are mostly in charge of military positions, and they were ordered to guard the border after many years of military training.

How do you know that Zheng Ying sent troops to Chuz, but was wiped out by the whole army and did not survive!

And Yao Qiangu turned back, but said that not long after Zheng Ying entered Chuzi, Chuzi's traitors colluded with Xinji to seek power, poison the monarch, and make Zheng Ying's troops fall into the trap! Yao Qian was about to come back, but Zheng Ying's subordinates fled back, saying that the political turmoil in Qiuzi was actually Zheng Ying's plan, intended to lure the new Turks into the country, seize Xizhou, Yizhou and other borders and go straight to Yangguan.

When Zheng Ying led his troops back to the border and was unwilling to rashly greet him, Zheng Ying was annoyed and angry and wanted to attack the city, and the intention of rebellion was obvious, Yao Qian had to resist hard, and he wanted to capture the crime alive and hand it over for trial, but the crime was rather dead than surrendered, and finally had to annihilate Zheng Ying's rebel department.

At this point, Xie Rao and Ping in the imperial history were impeached one after another, pointing directly at the Zheng family's rebellion, please strictly investigate, and implicate the Pei family.

Immediately afterwards, a staff member of Pei Xiangfu suddenly died violently at home, and Dali Zheng Mao Wei searched out documentary evidence, which was actually Pei Zheng conspiring to sign an alliance, intending to take advantage of the new Turks to encroach on Chuz, and Chutz's traitors wanted to seize power, resulting in the Great Zhou reinforcements being hit hard by the new Turks, Pei Xiang could take the opportunity to launch a full-scale war against the new Turks, so that the Zheng family had heavy troops in hand and forced the capital!

When there was a sign of revival in the new Turks, Pei Xiang did advise Dezong to send troops to suppress it first, and nip the threat in the bud, but Dezong was very resistant to the war and did not admonish him.

This incident caused a big uproar among the courtiers, Xie Raoping and his party certainly bit Pei Zheng and did not let go, however, many officials questioned only Yao Qian's words, Zheng Ying's ministry did not live and died without proof, and the documentary evidence was even more nonsense.

However, the sage finally decided to put Pei Zheng in prison, and Xie and Mao presided over the case with Li Ji, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Zheng's in-law Pan was also implicated and imprisoned pending trial.

And Pan's son, Pan Bo, was originally a servant's son, because he was deeply favored by Dezong, he was awarded the position of Governor of Yingzhou, at that time, because the jurisdiction of the Anton Protectorate had been gradually invaded by the increasingly powerful Northern Liao, Yingzhou was an important border town, and Pan Bo's military power was better than that of ordinary lieutenants.

Not only beheaded the angel who ordered him to return to Beijing, but also colluded with Northern Liao, saying that as long as Northern Liao sent troops to help him resist He Zhou, he would surrender to Liao and pay tribute every year.

Pan Zheng's trip undoubtedly made Pei Zheng convicted, and within just two months after Zheng Ying was annihilated, the saint made a decision to impose a heavy punishment on the clan!

Liu Xiaoniang is still angry when she thinks about those thrilling changes now.

Pei and Zheng Er's clan are the families of great hope, and they have been more prominent since Su Zong, if they really have the heart of rebellion, how can they be uprooted by the heavenly family so easily? That Pan Bo is still able to support the army and respect himself, but after three years, the dignified Great Zhou is helpless to take him, and now even Ji and Ping Erzhou are about to be embezzled!

Pan Bo is the opposite, but even if he is captured, the ending will not change in any way, this conspiracy has clearly been laid out since the support of Chutz, and it is pressing step by step, that is, Pei and Zheng will be in a state of no return!

Her father and ancestors have always been loyal, but they have not acted ruthlessly, and although they have inevitably had grievances with others for many years, they have not formed a deep hatred.

Then there is only one reason left, Pei Zheng and the two are obviously regarded as obstacles by others, and they must be completely eradicated if they are not unpleasant.

At the moment, it seems that Pei Zheng is in trouble, and the beneficiaries are none other than Xie, Wei and others, including the Liu family.

And although Liu Xiaoniang firmly believes in the innocence of the Pei and Zheng clans, of course she will suspect that Yao Qian's generals have already had bad intentions, and they all annihilated the department under the pretext that her uncle Zheng Ying has a rebellious heart, and then the Xie Party implicates the Pei family, but according to their ability, it was obviously not enough to uproot Pei Zheng and other worldly clans at that time.

There must be a hidden culprit behind Xie Dang, who is the real culprit, this person has the ability to subdue Xie and Yao Zhongdang to make them willing to take the risk to frame the important ministers of the state and the descendants of the relatives, and can also grasp the secret situation of Qiu Zi and use it, so bold and reckless that he ordered Yao Qian's military department to annihilate the Zheng Ying generals who were ordered to go on the expedition, resulting in a conclusive situation without evidence, obviously it is impossible to be a powerless and powerless person.

Even the princes and nobles are afraid that they don't have such courage, not to mention that to this day, the culprit is still hidden, and only Xie and Mao have benefited.

Perhaps, the culprit has already benefited, but the world does not associate it with the case of Pei Zheng's "rebellion".

Regarding the culprit is an extremely narrow range, Liu Xiaoniang also has a point in her heart, but at the same time, there are still a lot of doubts in her heart, not only can she not be sure, but even she feels that if the suspect in her heart is really the culprit, there are always many contradictions and incomprehensible explanations in the old case.

Therefore, even if she is reborn, she will inevitably be indignant whenever she touches on the old things, and she hates to fight for the family members who have been aggrieved and exterminated, but she also knows that she can only endure it for the time being, not to mention that the real murderer is still uncertain, even if she has always found out, if she wants to take revenge, it is tantamount to turning the world upside down!

But right now, she is no longer trapped in the deep palace and can only wait for death, but sneaking in the shadows and waiting for the opportunity, and some are time to plan and plot.

was thinking about it, but when he heard that there was a part outside the car window, he was overjoyed and seemed to arrive in Beijing safely, which interrupted the closing eyes and contemplation of the little lady Liu leaning on the corner of the carriage.

"Kyoto is finally not far away, and we are finally back in Chang'an City."

She looked out through the curtain lifted by Wang Shiniang.

Under a bright sun, the city wall seems to stretch endlessly, this fashion is not heard of the hustle and bustle of the city, more clearly is the crisp sound of the warbler chirping in the shade of the crown, but in the city, Feiyu Gao Pavilion is already faintly in sight.

Yes, Chang'an City, I'm finally back again.

Little Lady Liu smiled lightly.

——

When the Mingde Gate in the south of Kyoto is in sight, the carriages and horses of the two families of Wang Liu stopped at a dense shade of willows outside Guowai, but all those who enter Beijing from other counties must of course make a routine final pass at the city gate, and the city gate guards "verify the body", including the accompanying servants and the materials they bring must be inspected one by one, if the merchants and civilians have to be arranged in order to be inspected, this needs to wait for a long time, and the law is always tolerant to the officials of the world, Chang'an is a place where the powerful and the world are gathered, and those city gate guards dare not easily offend the dignitaries, let alone the "Ten Hopes" When the family returned to Beijing, they all had their own children and nephews to welcome and accommodate them, and although a group of servants were exempt from waiting in line, the master only had to wait for the family to come and greet them, and they would change to a more beautifully decorated ox cart to enter the city, and there was no need to wait patiently at all.

Outside the city gates, there are many wine shops and elegant houses opened by merchants, which are specially designed for the nobles who have returned from afar.

The news of everyone's arrival today also made the tribe inform them to enter the city, Wang Qilang and He Shishi took the lead, rented a house early, and sent someone to inform the respondent to come here to meet, and when Yuan and other female relatives arrived, not to mention that there were no outsiders in this place, even a table of fruit drinks and pastries was prepared.

Hearing that the Liu family came to greet the eldest son of the Duke of Liujun, that is, Wang Qilang's future brother-in-law, the Yuan family finally relieved to "return" the little lady Liu, but told the important servants around him: "You go with it, such as guessing the words of the degree, there is no need to say, but Qilang heard that Yao Ji intended to send the servant woman around the little lady is really conclusive, you might as well tell Xiao Niangzi, and then Yao Ji's daughter intends to forcibly snatch the beads on her sister's wrist. In addition, Yao Ji laughed at her generous words and deeds all the way, and also told her. ”

The servant couldn't help but hesitate: "Lady, in the end, it is the internal affairs of the Liu family, if the servant tells them one by one, it seems to be a bit excessive." ”

Yuan thought about it again and shook his hand: "Just act according to my instructions and tell Xiao Niangzi, originally I should have personally understood this, but I returned to Kyoto, of course, I had to return to my home first, but I was instructed to be loyal to people, and there was an accident on the way, although I was not easy to judge, I also had to tell what I had seen, and our two families were about to get married, but there was no taboo to talk about it, Yao Ji's words and deeds were unbearable, it was me who reminded me, and it was also the friendship of in-laws." ”

After the servant took the order to retire, Yuan sighed.

If it was in the previous Dezong Dynasty, how could she have scruples about the concubines, although Emperor Dezong was not as good as those monarchs in the prosperous era, he was quite sparse about government affairs and indulged in pleasures, and occasionally had some ridiculous words and deeds, but he could still listen to the advice of Pei Xiang and other courtiers, and he was always gentle, not like now!

Pei Zheng's destruction is not far away!

That Concubine Yuan Xian is not only from a humble background, but she is still a remarried woman, and Yuan Thorn Shi is a violent and immoral person, Yao Ji's sister heard that she is very favored, and she really can't guarantee that Concubine Yuan Xian will stand up for her.

If this idle matter affects his son's career, and even the saint blames the family, then it is really worth the loss.

The Xiao family has always been dustless and arrogant, how can a concubine corrupt the Liu family's style, with her and that Yao Ji in the ring, Yao Ji can't care about finding the rights and wrongs of the Wang family.

No matter what, the Liu family is still a powerful person, Mrs. Wei is the queen mother's sister, and her daughter has been named a concubine for a short time, and now she is the actual master of the harem, so she will not be subdued by such a concubine.

She couldn't be coerced by the concubines in public, and she needed to take care of the villain's life, so she had to stumble so openly that she would "lead the water to the east".

I hope that the Xiao family is still as temperamental as before, and when he gets angry, he simply sends Yao Ji down, even if Concubine Yuanxian is dissatisfied, and there are still Liu Guifei and the Queen Mother in the palace to surrender, even if the sage is annoyed, he will only hate the Liu family.

However, the Yuan family suddenly thought that his son couldn't escape from marrying the fourth mother of the Liu family, that was Pei Yi's granddaughter, compared to Yao Ji, this was a bigger hidden danger, and he couldn't help frowning.
