Chapter 124 The Qi Family ([-])

Qi Shiyan felt strange when he heard the girl's grief and indignation. He raised his head and looked at Xue Ling, but couldn't think of anything sad and indignant about this girl.

The daughter of Fireworks, who probably heard of an old story from somewhere, tried to change the civet cat into Qi's mansion.What do you want? Nothing more than fine clothes, fine food, glory and wealth, and he has already given it.

Moreover, through the affairs of the Qi family, the emperor personally bestowed a marriage.The one who married was Jiang Guogong's son as the main wife, even the official lady in Beijing, she should laugh her teeth out, no matter how he used this girl, the benefits would be evened out.

The sun shines through the window screens and dapples the room, and the shadow of a new leaf is casting on the paper in front of me.Sang Zheying Xiechun society is scattered, and every family returns home intoxicated.That year when the late emperor passed away, it was such a beautiful spring.

Qi Shiyan's thoughts were wandering, he was not in the study of Qi Mansion, but in the inner courtyard of the palace.Singing and dancing to promote peace, toasting and interlacing.

Liang Xiandi pointed at Qi Shiyan and laughed: "Look, Shiyan is drunk."

"I'm not drunk, I can have a few more drinks with Your Majesty."

He was drunk, otherwise, why in the blink of an eye, the vermilion became plain white, and the music was exchanged for mourning?
When Huo Yunsheng informed all the officials to enter the palace, he only said that there was something wrong in the palace.Qi Shiyan's head was still aching because of the alcohol last night, but he got into the carriage anyway.It wasn't until the red coffin was seen in front of Fengxian Hall that we knew that the emperor died and the queen committed suicide.

The civil servants and generals in front of the hall have already knelt together, and most of them were drinking with their colleagues last night.Outside the hall is guarded by the Imperial Forest Army layer by layer, and there is no entry but no exit.Someone handed him a white filial piety and asked him to change into it quickly.

Qi Shiyan took the clothes, but couldn't tell whether it was the drunkenness or the severe pain, and he fell headfirst in front of the late emperor's coffin, unable to stand up for a long time.

When he left last night, the late emperor was still in good condition. "Emperor physician, imperial physician, called imperial physician".In the silence of Wan Lai, his voice was particularly ear-piercing. "What's wrong with the first emperor, Huo Yunsheng, call the imperial physician."While struggling, he tremblingly pushed the coffin, as if opening the lid would allow the people inside to stand up.

Huo Yunsheng was no longer present, and he had to invite people from family to family. How could he have the time to chat with a group of prisoners here?
"Brother Shiyan, brother Shiyan, Your Majesty has gone."Jiang Hong was one of the first few people to be invited, and he saw something strange early on.The death of the country's lord was kept secret, and many ministers were trapped by guards. I am afraid that the crown prince's end is also over.

Qi Shiyan grabbed Jiang Hong's arm: "Master, what's going on, what's going on, Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty drank alcohol last night, I'm afraid it was so, brother Shi Yan, calm down a bit, and see your Majesty well."Jiang Hong said in a low voice, at the same time he kept giving Qi Shiyan winks, and finally dragged Qi Shiyan aside and knelt down.

This kneeling lasts for three days.During Huo Yunsheng's return, someone shouted: "Let me out, I want to see the prince, who ordered you, you are plotting treason."Before he finished speaking, he stood up again and several ministers shouted the same word.

The people trapped here don't know yet, but the original prince was startled and unconscious all the time.Just because Jiang Yufeng was accompanying him that night, if he wasn't there, it would be hard to tell if he was alive or not.

Blood sprayed all over the ground in the blink of an eye, and a lot of it splashed onto people's clothes.Without asking a question, Huo Yunsheng chopped down all the people standing there, killing them with one blow.Putting the knife back into its sheath, he said: "It's really disrespectful to make noise in front of the emperor's spirit."He beckoned, and several royal guards came in and silently dragged the corpse down. "My lords, please rest assured that I will guard the spirit of the first emperor and later. The young and old in the family have their own royal protection, so don't worry about it."After saying that, when he went out, the place was smelly, and no one did not sweep it.

Although everyone occasionally looked at each other, no one made a sound.I am trapped, and my wife and children are also in the hands of others. What is going on, is it still unclear?Qi Shiyan took off a piece of clothing, knelt there and wiped the blood stains on the ground desperately, this is the mourning hall!
Three days later, the first emperor went to the funeral, and the new emperor had already ascended the throne, and it was just waiting for the old officials to gather their numbers at the enthronement ceremony.However, the new emperor is not the original prince, but the sixth prince Wei Lang.

Qi Shiyan returned to the Qi Mansion in a daze, suffering from a serious illness.He was so angry that he shut himself in the study for several days without stopping to write, rewritten and rewritten the pleadings.He wants to sue, he wants to sue today's son for killing his father and brother, seeking to abduct the court.

Before I wrote that I was satisfied, my father-in-law Dingping came to the door.

Qi Shiyan finally lost his pen and went to the front hall to meet the guests.Madam's father doesn't come to Qi Mansion easily, he must have something important to do.

It was only when I arrived at the front hall that I realized that this Dingpinghou had been carried in a soft sedan chair.That body is exhausted, I'm afraid it won't last for a few days.Madam Qi kept wiping away tears.

Qi Shiyan hurried forward and said, "My lord father-in-law, why is this? If there is something important, just call your son-in-law over."

"I'll come...I'll come...I'll take a look at you," Ding Yuanhou lay on the soft sedan, and waved his hands feebly, "Everyone else, go down, I want to have a private chat with Shi Yan.

The servants and maids all dispersed, Mrs. Qi took a look, and went back to the house reluctantly.Qi Shiyan knelt on the ground and said, "What advice does father-in-law have for you?"

"You...you are more haggard than me, a bad old man, what is the reason?"Dingpinghou smiled wryly twice, stretched out his hand as if he wanted to touch Qi Shiyan's face, but lowered it again.The throat kept snoring non-stop, as if there was thick phlegm that had not been coughed up, and it was choked there.

Qi Shiyan hung his head and did not answer.How can he not be haggard?

"If you don't speak, I can guess that you are a good person, otherwise, I would not have married my sweetheart to you."

"The son-in-law is grateful for the great kindness of his father-in-law."

"But today, I'm here to get my daughter back." Ding Pinghou was suddenly agitated and wanted to sit up, but he didn't have the strength, so he coughed non-stop.After coughing for a while, he said, "Master Qi, please do me a favor and write a letter of divorce to her. They are my beautiful granddaughters. I... I will also take them away. I will also raise her in Dingping Mansion. A few young misses."

"What does my father-in-law mean by this, but what is my son-in-law's disobedience?"Qi Shiyan quickly knelt upright.

"No, no. You are a good man. Just because you are a good man, I am afraid that you are going to be loyal. Whose loyalty will you be loyal to? The loyalty of the first emperor. But the loyalty of the first emperor is not the loyalty of the new emperor. Shi Yan , Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be both. I am old, and I am here to beg you, please don't let a white-haired person give me a black-haired person."

"Father-in-law".Qi Shiyan tilted his head. He understood the purpose of Marquis Dingping's visit. For the past few days, he had been shutting himself out in the study, and his wife must have asked someone to bring a letter back to his mother's house.Although the Dingping Mansion has long been out of touch with the court, but for such an important matter, the old man must be well-versed.So I dragged my sick body to persuade myself.

"Don't talk and listen to me. I won't be able to talk for a few days. This Liang has been doing well for so many years, and he will always end up in trouble. This Liang is still our Liang. The people are still our people. You should know what is valuable since you entered the imperial examination. What is light." Ding Pinghou covered his mouth with a handkerchief, panting heavily.

"Xindi. Xindihe.".Qi Shiyan felt sad, stood up and pointed to the door, but he didn't say the phrase "regardless of human relations".The First Emperor's House was clearly in good condition, how could he suddenly suffer from a serious illness, and by such a coincidence, he died in the palace of the new emperor's mother and concubine.Not to mention, the original prince was also unconscious.How can things be so coincidental in the world?
"What about the new emperor, how can I, an old man, know."Hou Dingping waved his hand downwards, motioning Qi Shiyan to squat down, he didn't have the strength to speak loudly anymore.

Qi Shiyan squatted down as he said, but he no longer looked at Dingpinghou. He must not collude with those rebellious officials and thieves.

Marquis Dingping was not annoyed, he looked up at the sky, and said to himself: "Shi Yan, in your house, the mother-in-law worked hard, and no less than a hundred people died. Qingyu and Qingfei are only eleven. You Father has an emergency, tell them how to deal with themselves. If you go, I can't stop you. You give my son the letter of divorce, and this Qi mansion will be completely separated from my Dingping mansion. It will be treated as a relationship between you and my father and son. , if I were here in the future, I would definitely collect your bones for you."

The room was silent for a long time, Dingpinghou asked again:

"Old Madam Qi, this year...is she three years old? Her body is tougher than mine."

Qi Shiyan's eyes turned red: "Do you want me to watch the treacherous craftsmen make troubles and bring troubles to the court? My father-in-law was also a courtier!"

"A treacherous sycophant, where is the swindler? The former crown prince has woken up and personally called His Majesty my emperor. Shiyan said so, how should His Highness Chen Wang deal with himself?"

"The prince is awake"?Qi Shiyan was a little surprised, he didn't know about this while refusing outsiders in the house for the past few days.

"Wake up, wake up. Now it's King Chen, and Qingyi is also the girl I grew up with. Shiyan, look at it, the Qi mansion, Chen Wang's mansion, and Dingpinghou mansion are all within your reach." Time. I'm begging you with this old face, let my daughter live. Don't end up in the grave with me."

It was a cold spring that year, and at the end of March, charcoal basins were still prepared. The sky was dark for several days, and it seemed to be snowing.Qi Shiyan fell to the ground speechless.There is a 70-year-old mother on the top and a young daughter on the bottom.If he jumped out by himself, it would be tantamount to setting Prince Chen's mansion on fire.

"It's my son-in-law who didn't think well, and my father-in-law gave me some advice."Qi Shiyan saw that when he came back that day, he didn't change his court clothes, and he had been wearing them for several days.A morning jade is particularly dazzling on the chest.He tore it off and threw it far away, "My son-in-law will resign and return to his hometown, and don't care about world affairs."

Dingpinghou waved his hands weakly: "No, no, absolutely not."

"What's the matter with father-in-law? Could it be that I can't leave?"

"Look, look at my finger wrench."It took a lot of effort for Dingpinghou to raise his hand, "I bought it at a huge price. If someone says...that it looks like stolen goods, what can I do? If I don't bring it, others will say I have a guilty conscience. "

Qi Shiyan didn't know what Hou Dingping meant, so he took off his court boots and threw them far away.Trembling, Ding Pinghou pulled the wrench off his finger, threw it on the ground and smashed it to pieces, and then calmed down Qi Shiyan.

"I can only smash it to prove my innocence"!Dingpinghou tapped the edge of the soft sedan excitedly: "You Qi Shiyan wants to be a jade, but how dare you swear to heaven that you won't implicate anyone? If not, man, he has to be a tile occasionally."

Qi Shiyan bent down to pick up the pieces of broken jade, and said respectfully: "My son-in-law sent someone to send my father-in-law back."

A few days later, Dingping waited to return home.He waited until the funeral was over before going to court. He was conscientious and did not dare to make the slightest mistake.Send Wuyou to Xianbei to preside over the new emperor's enthronement ceremony.Even if Wuyou died later, her younger sister died.He is still the Minister of Rites.

Not allowed to enter, entering is a death penalty for the nine clans.There is no way to retreat. To retreat is because the new emperor is suspicious. He will be thrown to prove his innocence just like that finger wrench.He could only endure in that position for three years, and finally made it to Xue Ling's visit.

When the boy gave him the gift jade pendant, he was a little overjoyed, and he knew who this jade pendant was given to.After seeing it, I have other concerns.The witnesses and material evidence are all there, it seems irrefutable.But in the world, is there any father who can't recognize his own daughter?Can't recognize it in a day or two, and still can't recognize it in ten or half a year?

He pretended not to recognize it, and it was better if he didn't recognize it.These things should have been dismantled long ago.It's just that when the Jie people came to visit, Chunwei and Di, the first emperor's three years, and even Qingyi became pregnant, he delayed and delayed until today, and finally it was settled.

However, it is time.His Qi family needs to retire, the emperor needs to support the newcomers, and even the Jiang family got involved for some reason.

It was never Xue Ling who needed a father, but Qi Shiyan, who needed a daughter from a brothel to give someone a handle and give the emperor a reason to let him go.What's more, the birth is not enough, this dirty water has to be poured more, to conceal the identity of the real daughter, and not to recognize the good night at the beginning.

Since then, the Qi Mansion landed safely without any damage.Dingping Hou's lineage also returned home long ago.In Prince Chen's Mansion, at least everyone is still alive.

Only he Qi Shiyan, a walking dead.
