The Golden Bough and the Dog Section 101
Knowing that Tang Xian was waiting in the back, Yun Zhu had no time to sell Guanzi, and after ordering someone to read out the lives of several members of the Tang family in the past five years, he bluntly said that he wanted to reappoint Tang Xiyuan as an official in the court.
There was opposition.
Expected.
At this time, Tang Xiyuan's actions on the way to Beijing became powerful evidence.
After arguing for a long time, a conclusion was reached.
Five years ago, Tang Xiyuan's official residence was in the fourth grade, and now he is in Dali Temple.
If there is no act of forming a party for personal gain, if there is a normal promotion or demotion according to merit and demerit, and if there is a bad intention, the life of the whole clan will really be in danger this time.
Tang Xiyuan knocked on the ground to thank him and left the palace at noon.
This was the first time Yun Zhu met Tang Xian's parents. The couple was dressed simply when they met, just like when he first met Tang Xian, she was dressed.
Tang Xiyuan, who was middle-aged, had a short beard, and had the elegant temperament peculiar to a scholar, and when questioned whether he was suitable to enter the court as an official, he spoke sharply and in a clear manner.
Wen Si was agile, and it can be seen that the demotion from a high position to a civilian did not have much impact on him.
He really wanted to become an official in the court.
There is no other option.
Mrs. Tang was a little haggard than Tang Xiyuan, and she didn't say a few words during the whole process.
When they met for the first time, they only talked about business, and the Tang family and his wife seemed to feel something, and left without saying a word in private.
After dealing with the business, the clouds stopped and went to Bixiao Palace.
After Tang Xian was released from the palace, perhaps for a long time, the two of them would not be able to see each other, and he really wanted to stay with Tang Xian alone for a while.
But seeing her soulless appearance, Yun stopped silently withdrawing and sent someone to draft the holy decree.
In the early morning of the second day, the sky was still overcast, with no wind or rain.
Tang Shu and Tang Nianzhi were sent out of the palace early, and Tang Xian was invited back to Luoying Palace, followed by Rue Xiang and Liu Tao, and there was another smoke.
"What are you doing with that?" Tang Xian didn't sleep all night, and barely got up her spirits and asked her.
Yanxia made a fuss and said: "Look at what you said, I'm like this, if I don't follow you, are you waiting for the son to be in a bad mood one day and scrape me alive?" ”
Tang Xian let out a "hmm", looking around, obviously not listening.
Yanxia opened her palm and shook it in front of her, luring her back to her senses, and said, "Childe asked me to tell you, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Households, and Jing Zhaoyin will come to announce the decree and release everyone." ”
"Niangniang, you are the head of the harem, and you want to bow down and accept the order."
"Hmm." Tang Xian said. The order is to bow down, she knows.
To meet the emperor is also to kneel, after entering the palace for the first time, Yun An wanted her to kneel, but Yun Zhu did not allow it.
Yanxia saw that she had no objection, so she didn't say anything more and waited quietly with her.
As Yanxia said, at that time, a group of officials were led by eunuchs, and all the concubines and maids who came out of the imperial tomb knelt down to receive the order.
Tang Xian knelt at the front, the voice of the official was clear and loud, she could hear every word, and it was as if through a huge bronze door, the sound vibrated and collided in her head, making it impossible for her to understand the meaning.
"Mother?" The accompanying chief eunuch bent down and quietly reminded him.
Tang Xian woke up and saw that the eunuch was looking forward, and the two maids on the left and right were looking forward in anticipation, and they both secretly bowed their chins forward.
“…… Still not receiving the grateful? ”
Directly in front, an official of the Ministry of Rites wearing a red official robe held a black rhinoceros horn shaft of the Ming and Yellow Holy Decree and handed it forward.
This is the key that Tang Xian has been waiting for for five years, and it is the ultimate goal for her to escape from the imperial tomb at great risk and seek that glimmer of hope.
At this moment, all the suffering, doubt, and fear that had ever existed came to fruition.
She finally didn't have to bear the sin of others.
Tang Xian knelt straight, her hands held high above her head, and solemnly received the holy decree from the officials that hundreds of them had dreamed of.
The holy decree started, heavy, Tang Xian was a little confused and a little stunned.
She followed the eunuch's reminder and said, "Minmaid, thank you." ”
The concubines and maids behind her bowed again with her.
The moment her forehead touched the ground, Tang Xian heard a crisp sound, it was the shackles that were fastened on her body, and at this moment, the heavy chains wrapped in patina completely broke.
She was free and could go home.
At the palace gate on the west side, the household officials checked the registration in turn, and Tang Xian was in the front.
She looked out of the palace gate, and saw that the dark clouds in the sky were dark and dreary, and there were many people waiting below, some richly dressed and with sumptuous carriages parked beside them, and some of them were simple and searched on foot.
Tang Xian stepped out of the palace gate, not knowing which direction to take. After a moment's hesitation, she retracted her steps and looked back.
Some were crying, some were laughing, and some were hesitant, just like her, not knowing where to go.
Tang Xian wanted to talk at this time, she wanted to say that there were too many people outside, she forgot to tell her younger brothers and sisters in advance where to wait for her, how to find it?
But she couldn't make a sound, as if she had suddenly lost the ability to speak.
The two maids who followed her out kept gesturing with each other, but Tang Xian was so ignorant that she couldn't understand it.
She saw Rue frowning anxiously, and kept looking behind her, and at the end, she stomped her foot, thinking that she was reaching out.
Tang Xian was clasped by her shoulders and twisted her body heavily.
Before she could stand firmly, a figure rushed straight towards her, and Tang Xian was hugged tightly before she could see the other party clearly.
It's not a very wide embrace, but it's warm enough.
"My!"
The crying call sounded close to the tip of Tang Xian's ear and slashed in her head.
She was familiar with it, because it was the first voice she had heard since she came to earth, and it was the most sound, and it had accompanied her for fifteen years.
She was also a stranger, as she hadn't heard of it for five years.
Tang Xian was a little at a loss, and she didn't know where to put her hand.
"You, you ......"
Wet tears fell down her neck, and Tang Xian felt itchy and hot.
She wanted to say to Mrs. Tang: You hugged me too tightly, I was going to be out of breath.
I wanted to comfort her again: It's okay, I didn't suffer much.
Her lips opened and closed, and finally Tang Xian said, "Why didn't you come to pick me up earlier?" ”
After speaking, she was like the clouds of the previous days, and she was so aggrieved that she burst into tears.
Chapter 83: The Ending (1)
In the palace, the clouds stopped reading the folds, and Zhuang Lian went in every once in a while to say a word.
"I have received the holy decree and go to the west gate of the palace."
"Maomao has already seen her father, and the family of five has just left."
"There is only a ruin left of the old mansion of the Tang family, and the new mansion is allocated by the Ministry of Households, in the north of Tianfu Street. It's a three-entry courtyard, which can't be compared with the old Tang family, but it's not bad. ”
The rest of the concubines have all left one after another, a total of 13 have been picked up by their parents, 27 have to be escorted out of Beijing, and the rest have been arranged by the household department to become new citizens and move into new residences. Most of the maids have no father or mother, and they follow their masters......"
One hundred taels of silver per person, life is not a problem in the short term.
As for the future...... The decree has stated that from this day forward, they will return to their free bodies, and it is up to them to choose whether to marry or to set up their own doors.
On this day, another absurd thing left by the ancestors was completely resolved.
Zhuang Lian was relieved, thinking back to the past few months, natural disasters and man-made disasters were not in danger, and the matter of the treasure map went through several turmoil, and finally succeeded smoothly.
The former is all dependent on Yun Zhu, which is his responsibility as a descendant of the royal family, and the latter is thanks to Tang Xian.
If it weren't for Tang Xian, they would have broken their heads, and it would have been difficult to imagine that the hidden treasures of their ancestors would have been transferred to the secret secret passage of Emperor Rongxiao's mausoleum early.
If it is really man, it is not as good as heaven.
Zhuang Lian only had one last thing left in his heart, "When does the son plan to get married?" ”
He saw very clearly that Yun Zhu must marry Tang Xian.
Anyway, Tang Xian was deposed and released from the palace, and she was free to marry, who is not married? At most, it is to let the clouds stop and leave a trace of criticism in the history books.
Not to mention the emperor, even ordinary people, there is no perfect one.
It is sufficient to be unambiguous in political matters concerning the people of the country.
Zhuang Lian is considerate of Yun Zhu, but unfortunately Yun Zhu is not considerate of him.
Yun stopped raising his eyelids and said sarcastically: "You became a relative when you were begging on the street?" ”
“……”
Tang Xian left the palace, and for a short time, the clouds could only be in a state of unrequited love, and it was inevitable that she would be in a bad mood.
Zhuang Lian good-naturedly interpreted this sentence in his heart: He had to deal with the dangers lurking around him before he married Tang Xian. Otherwise, wouldn't that be the equivalent of putting the person you like in danger?
Thinking like this, Zhuang Lian was suddenly pleasantly surprised, "Childe already has a clue about the rats hiding behind the scenes to encourage others?" ”
Yun stopped glancing at him impatiently, and instructed him to thoroughly investigate the trivial matters of Yingzong and other emperors during their lifetimes.
Zhuang Lian didn't know why he gave such an order, and guessed that it might have something to do with the people behind the scenes.
After that day, Yun stayed in the palace, handling the affairs of various places step by step every day, Yun An did not have to do decorations, he was completely idle, and circled around Yun Yuan all day long, personally teaching her to read and write, and taking her to play.
But my brother is not a girl after all, and he can only accompany him during the day.
Coupled with Yun An's ubiquitous stinky problem, he often plays to hold Yun Yuan down, and has to tidy up her hair bun and clothes before she is willing to let go, so that Yun Yuan is so disgusted.
One day or two days is fine, but after a long time, the clouds are not happy.
She ran to find Yun Zhu, crying and chirping: "Second brother is so stupid, I don't like to play with him, I want to go to Maomao." ”
Yun Zhu thought to herself, she only has her father and mother in her eyes at this time, how can she have the leisure to be a little troublesome spirit?
