Three years is not a short time, but it has become a turning point in everything.

In order to wait for Zheng Pingwei to return, Shen Qingwei has lived in front of the simple and inconspicuous people since then, and even the eldest prince Wei Xi wanted to marry Shen Qingwei as his wife, but she was politely rejected after many efforts. Since then, the Shen family has endured great pressure in the imperial court.

Just when Shen Qingwei thought that everything would get better because of Zheng Pingping's return and the marriage between the Zheng family and the Shen family, what she was waiting for was a thunderbolt from the sky.

Without warning, the Shen family was controlled by the Praetorian Guards sent by the imperial court overnight, and everyone was imprisoned. It didn't take long for the Son of Heaven to spread the spoken word, the Shen family had the intention of rebellion, and the nine clans were punished! Then all the men of the Shen family were beheaded, and the women were sent to the teaching department to become prostitutes. The Shen family, which was like the Optimus Pillar, collapsed in a very short period of time.

It is known in history as the "Wei Shu Case".

The vast majority of the Shen family's female dependents chose to commit suicide before entering the Teaching Division. Although the eldest prince Wei Xi was politely rejected by Shen Qingwei, he still missed her, so he did not hesitate to secretly arrange for someone to steal the beam and change the pillar to rescue Shen Qingwei, and there was no Shen Qingwei in the world from now on.

During this period, Zheng Pingfei was kept in the dark by his beauty, and he didn't know when it happened, but he kept wondering why the letter he sent was not responded to for a long time. It wasn't until the three-year period had expired that Zheng Pingfei returned to Yanjing that he learned of the fall of the Shen family, and Shen Qingwei had already "disappeared" at that time.

Mourning is greater than heart death, during that time, Zheng Pingfei's whole person was deeply in despair and couldn't extricate himself, and he went crazy for half a year and used the power around him to search for news about Shen Qingwei, but at that time, Shen Qingwei had been rescued by the eldest prince Wei Xi and hid in the mansion.

Wei Xi only put Shen Qingwei under house arrest, what he wanted was not only Shen Qingwei's person, but also her heart.

After half a year of unsuccessful searching, Zheng Pingphong was already dead, he closed his heart, put all his energy on Yunzhou, and poured all his anger and resentment on the captives who invaded the south. For the first time in so many years, the captives had been defeated, and they had come to know a tiger, a tiger that had gone mad and was a hundred times more ferocious than them!

A year later, Zheng Pingphong returned to Yanjing again. He has great military exploits on him, which makes everyone in the court in awe.

That year, Zheng Pinghong was twenty-three years old.

====The dividing line is silent====

"Pingping, you're back, let my mother see you. ”

Zheng Pingping's mother was waiting at the gate of Zheng's mansion, and it should have been a happy day to see her son riding a tall horse in front of her, but the tears that were originally in the corners of her eyes rolled down uncontrollably.

Zheng Pingphong quickly walked two steps and turned over and dismounted, knelt on his knees and said, "Mother, I'm back." ”

"Okay, good, it's good to be back. This year, Zheng's mother was really frightened, and the continuous war reports made her heart hang in the air, and she was finally able to fall safely at this moment. Mother Zheng caressed Ai'er's face, and said softly: "Tired, go take a bath and change clothes, your father will be back soon." ”

"Mother, I'll go. Although he promised this, when he heard his mother mention his father, Zheng Pingping's face was not as excited as seeing his mother, but he replied lightly, and then pulled his mother up and walked towards Zheng's mansion.

Zheng's mother sighed faintly, when the Shen family had an accident, it was Zheng's father who ordered everyone to hide from Zheng Pingping, and also cut off the relationship with the Shen family for self-protection for the first time, and didn't care about the Shen family. It wasn't until three years later that Zheng Pingphong returned to Yanjing to learn about the fall of the Shen family, and the relationship between the two fathers and sons fell to a freezing point, and it has not eased until now.

The family feast in the evening was spent in silence. Zheng Pingphong ignored his father throughout the whole process, and his mother had the intention to mediate, but she was never able to do so.

"I'm full, I'll go back to my room first. ”

With that, Zheng Pingphong put the dishes and chopsticks on the table, and immediately turned around and left.

"Pingping, don't go yet, for the Father has a few words to say to you. Zheng's father, who had not spoken, looked up at his son's back and sighed: "I have done it for you to become the young marshal of Yunzhou, King An is very optimistic about you, as long as he is willing to help, the eldest prince's side will be considered to be through." ”

If there is no approval of the prince, unless Zheng Pingfei shows his loyalty to Wei Xi, Wei Xi will never hand over the core military affairs of Yunzhou to Zheng Pingping, if so, then Zheng Pingping's military reform in Yunzhong will be stillborn. This is Zheng Pingping's only obsession in the years after Shen Qingwei's "disappearance".

King An is very close to the eldest prince Wei Xi, and he has been a horse all his life, before the eldest prince Wei Xi took charge of Yunzhou, he led the military affairs of Yun and Ji Erzhou by himself, if he can get the support of King An, presumably even without the verbal support of the eldest prince Wei Xi, Zheng Pingfei is enough to effectively control the military affairs of Yunzhou.

"But King An has another condition. Father Zheng put down the dishes and chopsticks, stared at Zheng Pingping's back and said slowly: "He wants you to marry the lord of Shou'an, I heard that this is what Shou'an meant." ”

The county lord of Shou'an, the unruly county lord who opposes Qinghao everywhere, is she still unmarried?

Zheng Pingphong turned around and stood still, staring directly at his father, and made a decision in just a few breaths. "I can agree to King An's conditions, but I want King An to unconditionally support my military reform in Yunzhou. ”

This is made clear by the Father's Council and King An. As if relieved, Father Zheng's eyes leaked a little relaxed figure, but his body, which was already aging due to old age, was a little more rickety.

"Father, you ...... Please take care of your body, the Zheng family is still here. For no reason, Zheng Pingyi suddenly said this, and then immediately turned around and left the dining room.

Listening to his son's words, Zheng's father finally smiled slightly. He knows more about the Shen family than others, so he naturally knows the dangers, and even the Zheng family will be caught in if one is not good.

For this reason, he could only endure the strong guilt in his heart for the Shen family's request for help and chose to close the door, which was not his intention, but he had to do so for the sake of the Zheng family.

Zheng Pingfei didn't understand these at that time, and he may not be able to understand it completely at this moment, but in any case, Zheng Pingfei at this moment has finally become the pillar that can support the entire Zheng family.

A month later, a great event caused a sensation in the entire Yanjing City.

Zheng Pingping, Marquis of Jingping, married King An's only daughter, the lord of Shou'an, as his wife!

On that day, the whole city was lit up and down, and countless princes and nobles competed to send blessings to the two newlyweds, but in the corner that Zheng Pinghong didn't know, one person was crying in the boudoir.

Shen Qingwei locked himself in the room for a whole day, without a drop of water. Her bright eyes like autumn water were no longer full of luster at the moment, and the whole person was half-lying on the bed, staring directly at the candle flame in front of her, stunned.

The tears that were originally large and constantly flowing down had now turned into two trickles, mottled the embroidered pillows at the head of the bed under the reflection of the candle flame.

At this moment, Shen Qingwei is more sad than dead.

The eldest prince Wei Xi was busy with many of his things, and finally stood at the door of the room where Shen Qingwei was at night.

All the maids and subordinates who Wei Xi had arranged to serve Shen Qingwei were driven out of the door, and although the door was not locked, no one dared to step forward and push the door open. Listening to the heart-rending cry that originally came from inside had subsided, Wei Xi breathed a sigh of relief.

He stopped the guards behind him who wanted to come forward and knock on the door, personally took the snacks served in a tea tray from the maid behind him, and asked Shen Qingwei with tenderness: "Qingwei, I'm in." ”

I only heard a squeak, the door opened, and Wei Xi walked in.

It stands to reason that Wei Xi, as the eldest prince, is above ten thousand people under one person in the eyes of people, and he is the most likely person to inherit the throne, but today Wei Xi put his steps and movements very lightly, as if Shen Qingwei in front of him was a delicate thin porcelain plum vase, and a slight touch would make her completely shattered.

The next person closed the door after Wei Xi entered the room, Wei Xi put the snack in his hand on the table, and then began to look at the beauty in front of him.
