The Golden Bough and the Dog verse 4

As the prince, the prince can't make the decisions, and even the marriage match is almost controlled by the courtiers, which is the biggest shame in his life, and he must not let go of the Tang family easily.

The Tang family was not killed at the beginning, but it was all because Tang's father's righteous act of killing his relatives came too suddenly, which made the world known, forcing the prince to reward and punish clearly, and he could not destroy the Tang family.

In exchange for the health of the whole family, Tang Xian is willing.

But now......

Tang Xian seemed to have been drained of her soul, her empty eyes looked at the window, and the bright spring light outside was refined into invisible fences, trapping her in it.

Outside the fence, there are endless mountains and rivers blocking her, and she will never see her blood relatives, even whether they are dead or alive, and where their bodies are.

She reacted too much, like a peony that dried up quickly, Zhuang Lian was surprised, and turned his face to look at the clouds.

The cloud stops unmoved.

Zhuang Lian had a daughter a few years ago, and when he thought about what his girl should look like when she heard the bad news, she couldn't help but feel sad, and couldn't help but whisper: "A girl, she can't even tell a lie well, and if she cheats casually, her family background will be exposed...... was almost killed by Cen Wangxian and lost his hands, blame the pitiful ...... Childe, why don't we use the criminal law to extract confessions......"

Yun stopped: "Shut up." ”

He didn't expect that a casual sentence could hit Tang Xian like this, staring at the tears that slipped from her godless eyes, and when the two lines of clear tears fell, he turned his eyes away and said lightly: "Lie to you." ”

The five years in the imperial tomb did not crush Tang Xian, and at this time, the news of the ground movement in Yuzhou directly beat her to the ground, she curled up under the window, tears kept falling, and she didn't listen to the words of Yun Zhi at all.

"Yuzhou is fine, and there is no movement. I'll lie to you. Yun Zhu's voice was a little higher, and Tang Xian finally reacted.

There was a sudden turn of sorrow, she was a little sluggish, her eyes were rolling with tears that were not falling, and she looked at the clouds in a daze.

Yun Zhu didn't like to be looked at like this, as if he was bullying an innocent girl.

He was unhappy in his heart, and said coldly: "Look at your eyeballs again." ”

Tang Xian blinked, the tears hanging in her eyes failed to hang up, and burst out of her eyelashes.

She was full of concern for the safety of her parents, and asked anxiously: "...... You—You lied to me? Didn't have an accident in Yuzhou? ”

"The ground movement is not a trivial matter, if it really happened, it should have spread in Beijing a long time ago. Have you heard? ”

Tang Xian had just entered Beijing today, and when she recalled the peaceful scene on the streets, her heart was relieved. She was skeptical, wiped away her tears, and found herself sitting on the ground in a state of embarrassment, expecting that her posture must have been very indecent.

But she had no strength.

Tang Xian silently wiped away her tears, and couldn't help but confirm with him again: "Yuzhou is really fine?" ”

"Ask again."

Tang Xian choked and closed her mouth.

After relieving her emotions, she came back to her senses and realized that she had easily been tricked into the most important clue.

But except for the message sent by Mrs. Meng, this is the only news she has learned about her parents in the past five years, and she was emotionally churning for a while and couldn't control it.

Yun Zhu glanced her up and down, and pierced her mercilessly: "Full of lies." ”

Tang Xian was ashamed, her head drooped, and she rubbed her eyes in embarrassment.

"I didn't bother to deal with you, Yanxia stole my things, told her where she was hiding, and I let you go."

Tang Xian couldn't say.

"Don't say it?" Yun Zhu's thin skin was lifted, and Liang Liang said, "Then use my method." ”

He sat relaxed, picked up a book of documents and opened it, as if the matter had been decided and there was no need to talk about it.

The posture of winning with certainty made Tang Xian uneasy.

He can kill people, and Yanxia also said that he has no king's law......

There are many ways to coerce a girl, especially the three indiscriminate. The most frightening and insulting.

The more Tang Xian thought about it, the more frightened she became, grabbing the placket of her clothes and retreating.

"Full of lies, I'm afraid that only one sentence is true in Yuzhou. Let her be washed......" Yun stopped casually instructed Zhuang Lian, halfway through his speech, he swept away, just in time to see Tang Xian's frightened retreat.

All her thoughts were written on her face.

Yun stopped talking, his face changed instantly, his slender finger bones pinched the paper in his hand, and said ruthlessly: "Let people wash her, paint a few portraits, and send them to Yuzhou quickly and post them on the streets and alleys." ”

The tone was extremely poor, but it was so clear that everyone in the study could hear it.

Tang Xian was stunned for a moment, and then took a sharp breath.

Yun Zhu, who had been silently slandered, had a chill in his eyes, and sneered: "Except for the sentence that my home is in Yuzhou, I can't believe a word of the rest." If you refuse to tell me where the smoke is, I will have to send someone to find your parents and relatives and greet them. ”

After five years, others may not recognize Tang Xian, but her parents must recognize her.

At first glance, the city was plastered with her portrait, in case, in case she came to the capital and was discovered, it would be a great crime to disobey the emperor's order and enter the capital privately.

There is a precedent of rebellion in her family, and the royal family is eager to catch her family's fault and cut down her entire family!

"You, you ......" Tang Xian stumbled, in fact, she didn't know what to say.

She was afraid, and at the same time there was a little jumping anticipation in her heart.

She hadn't seen her for five years, and her father and mother could look at her portrait and know that she was still alive, so it was fine.

And Daddy is so alert that he won't risk the lives of his whole family...... You can ask someone else to come to Beijing to see her.

With a little luck, she was able to write a letter and send it back......

Two thoughts tugged at her mind.

Yun Zhu looked at her tangled expression coldly, and the more he looked at it, the more obstructive it became.

In Yun Zhu's opinion, the practice of sending people to Yuzhou to post portraits is feasible, but it takes time, and he doesn't have so much spare time.

It's still faster to use torture to ask questions.

Thinking like this, he looked at Tang Xian's eyes more and more dangerously.

And Tang Xian finally came up with a rebuttal: "Without the permission of the government, it is against the laws and regulations to post the list without permission." ”

Yun Zhu heard some joke, raised his eyebrows, and said, "You talk to me about the law?" ”

Tang Xian: "......"

Tang Xian felt that she needed to calm down, otherwise she would not be able to talk to this person.

At this time, a guard said outside the door: "Son, Master Bai has arrived at the gate of the mansion." ”

Tang Xiancai's heart, which had calmed down a little, began to beat rapidly again.

Bai Taishi and her grandfather entered the court as an official in the same year, always half a step behind her grandfather, after the Tang family was down, the most important thing to speak in the court was Bai Taishi.

Her post-sealing ceremony, Bai Taishi was present, and even sending her to the imperial tomb was Bai Taishi's proposal.

Master Bai recognizes her!

Zhuang Lian said: "Son, my subordinates asked me to take the girl back to guard?" ”

"No, Bai Tingzhi must have come for the sake of Qian Ning and the others. She wants to speak the law to me, so she keeps it so that she can hear my law. ”

After Yun stopped speaking, his eyes swept over Tang Xian, and he said, "Just let Bai Tingzhi see it, maybe he will recognize which down-and-out daughter this is." ”

Tang Xian: ......

While wondering how the other party learned about her family's downfall, she closed her eyes and shouted for help in her heart!

Chapter 4: Taishi

Bai Taishi was led outside the study by the guards, and after stopping, he lowered his head to arrange his beard and dress, confirmed that his appearance was thoughtful, and then stepped into it respectfully.

After entering, he did not squint and gestured towards the main seat: "I have seen the eldest prince." ”

Yun Zhu pushed the paperwork aside on the table and said, "I'm not in a good mood today, you'd better stop talking nonsense." ”

This was quite unkind, he didn't greet him to sit down, and he didn't give him tea, but Bai Taishi's attitude did not change at all, he straightened up, and said respectfully: "That old man will speak bluntly." Qian Ning and others are indeed guilty, but according to the laws of this dynasty, sin does not lead to death......"

"I said they deserve to die." Yun Zhu looked directly at Bai Taishi, his eyes were sharp, and there was no question, "Or do you want to talk to me about laws and regulations?" ”

With such a simple question, Bai Taishi was stunned and couldn't catch it.

There was silence in the room for a while, and Bai Taishi retreated: "Then it should also be executed by Dali Temple and the Criminal Department, how can you kill the court officials in private?" This matter has been in an uproar, and the court meeting has been arguing for several days, and you know, Your Majesty he ......"

"Bai Tingzhi, if you want to be an obedient puppet, you shouldn't have come to me in the first place."

Bai Taishi was dumbfounded again.

This is indeed the truth, when he personally went to the southwest, he invited someone to be the emperor, not the prince who was subject to others.

When Bai Tingzhi entered the court, Emperor Rongxiao was still in power.

Emperor Rongxiao had four sons under his knees, two princes died unexpectedly, neither of them left any heirs, one failed to seize power, and was imprisoned in the prison with his wife and children, and the remaining prince successfully ascended the throne.

The crown prince reigned for less than three years and died violently, and was succeeded by the son born to the side concubine.

He ascended to the throne at the age of five and died of smallpox six months later.

The kingdom cannot be without a king for a day, so the family in the prison was taken out.

The father and son joined together, reigned for a total of seventeen months, one swallowed the pill and died, one died after hunting and falling from a horse, and the other had a hard time in the past few years, and after recovering his glory and wealth, the big fish and big meat supported himself to death.

In less than five years, Emperor Rongxiao died.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were all stunned.

After the ministers discussed, Bai Taishi went to the southwest in person, wanting to invite Emperor Rongxiao's nephew, who is now the king of the southwest, back to the throne and become emperor.

This prince has no ambitions, but he is most favored by the old emperor, and when he was young, he was looking for death and life, and he had to marry the daughter of the defeated general to be the princess, so he did not hesitate to give up the throne.

After going through ups and downs, he went to the southwest fiefdom and vowed never to return to Beijing.

There is only this bloodline left in the royal family, and the oath or something is not so important.

As soon as Bai Taishi and the others entered the southwest, they were captured, and they learned that the person in charge of the fief was no longer the king of the southwest, but the prince of the world.

It is said that at the age of fifteen or sixteen, he made the art of war of the Baili family handy, led the troops to resist the enemy, and beat the barbarians on the southwest border to tremble, and at the age of seventeen, he took over all the government affairs of the fief from the hands of the king of the southwest.

The southwest region and its neighboring states are all unaware of the prestige of the prince of the southwest.

But once out of the fiefdom, it was as if entering another world, and the news was sealed, so that for so many years, no one in the DPRK and China knew the scenery of the southwest border.

Bai Taishi originally intended to invite the King of the Southwest himself to the capital, and when he learned of this, he was busy revealing his identity and respectfully visited the old lady Baili.
