retaliate

Chunyudian was captured.

In full view, just outside Chang'an City, Jin Yiwei kicked him off his horse, then beat him severely, and was dragged into Chang'an City.

This caused an uproar.

That's the Patriarch of the Chunyu Clan!

The existence that was able to compete with the emperor back then was dragged away like a dead dog by a few Jinyi guards.

Public opinion was in an uproar.

……

"Lang Jun, Chunyu Dian was arrested by Jin Yiwei."

Yang Xinxiang was feeding the birds, "Have you been caught?"

A group of sparrows were pecking at the corn he dropped in front, and they were not afraid of people at all.

Yang Xinxiang clapped his hands, turned around and asked, "What crime?"

"I didn't say it."

Sun Yan's face was serious, "Mr. Lang, if Jin Yiwei can take someone out, it must be Chun Yudian who wants to run away."

"When he left the two illegitimate children here, the old man knew what he wanted to do. The old man had already sent more than a hundred people pretending to be horse thieves waiting in the middle of the road...Unexpectedly, Jin Yiwei made the first move."

"Lang Jun, Mrs. Chunyu knows many things about Mrs. Yang."

"Especially when dealing with filial piety to the emperor." Yang Xinxiang said: "Jin Yiwei took action, and Chunyu's family would be finished. If Chunyudian is smart, he should know how to keep his mouth shut. Otherwise... his two illegitimate children will also die!"

Sun Yan covered his forehead, "The patriarch of a powerful family has never lacked courage."

"Chun Yu Dian has the courage to die for his family!"

……

The emperor is reading the letter at the moment.

Huahua was on the side, looking curiously at the swordsman lying next to the prince.

The prince was reading the memorial, and he didn't dare to be distracted at all.

After a long time, the emperor put down the letter and said: "Then, Chunyu Dian must want to escape this time."

"Yes." Huahua said.

"Your Majesty, Jin Yiwei seeks an audience with Jielong."

Jie Long came in and saluted respectfully, "Your Majesty, the evidence of Chunyu's crime is convincing, what should we do?"

The prince raised his head slowly and saw the emperor coldly said:
"Copy the house!"

……

Jin Yiwei immediately made a big move.

Concubine Li leads the team herself, and people surround Chunyu's house.

The people inside refused to open the door, and they heard someone yelling to stop.

"Break the door!" Li Fei said coldly.

The gate of Chunyu's house is thick and heavy, but Liang Jing came with Jin Wuwei.

After the Great Court Meeting, the emperor ordered Liang Jing to take over the Jinwu Guard, and everyone was astonished.Those in the know were deeply moved, saying that the emperor knew people well and made good use of them.

Liang Jing was the leader of the evil youth back then, and the group that most affected Chang'an's public security was the evil youth.

This is called fighting poison with fire.

"General Liang!" Concubine Li nodded slightly.

Not only did the emperor's women come out to do things, but they didn't even wear 羃, and the moralists were heartbroken for this.Several old courtiers also went to the memorial to persuade.

But the emperor said: "Pretending to be mysterious, isn't it a human being wearing a hood? What's wrong!"

Got it!
The emperor himself doesn't care about it, what do outsiders care about?
This matter finally ended with the anger of the Taoist priests, but it accidentally triggered the emulation of the women in Chang'an.

In the early years, it was used by a generation of people in the Northwest to protect themselves from wind and sand. After it was passed down to Chang'an, it became a tool for noble ladies to hide their faces.

Regardless of whether it is beautiful or ugly, if you wear it, you will immediately block the eyes of the outside world.

The men are satisfied, but the women are unhappy and say they are uncomfortable.

Now the emperor's woman takes the lead, so what are you waiting for?
Some noble girls also learned to go out without wearing a hood. When they came back, the man was very dissatisfied. The husband and wife had an argument. The woman said that His Majesty doesn't care, what do you care about?
This incident caused a lot of trouble, and it aroused the attention of the nobles in Chang'an.

The men agree that women should continue to wear 羃, but most of the women are against it.

Most of the women who agree are ugly or old.

Liang Jing clasped his hands, "I've seen my mother." Then he turned around, "Pull here."

A cart with two horses slowly drove into the alley, and there was a piece of wood on it.

"Bump into the wood! Good!" Concubine Li nodded approvingly, thinking that it's no wonder the emperor said that Liang Jing was clever, and if he was put in charge of the Jinwu Guard, the public security in Chang'an would improve quickly.Just looking at his response at the moment, it can be seen that the emperor's eyesight is perfect.

The sergeants picked up the wood and rushed to the gate.

Bah!
Bah!
Bah!
boom!
The door was knocked open!

Hundreds of people inside are holding weapons in formation.

"Fire the arrow!" General Liang chose the concealed weapon without hesitation.

A wave of arrows rained in, and then the sergeants charged in array with spears...

Jin Yiwei's people were cruising aside to block it.

The two sides cooperated tacitly and strangled this group of people.

Then ransacked the house.

People from the household department came, and it turned out that Shangshu Cao Ying led the team.

"Old man, let's see what happens to these thieves!"

Cao Ying said with a smile, but then said: "The money is all there, if anyone keeps it private..."

Liang Jing felt a chill down his spine, "Hurry up and spread the word, if anyone hides something secretly, yeah yeah break his leg!"

Since he took charge of the household department, Cao Ying has become a famous miser in Chang'an. It is said that even the emperor had to compete with him if he wanted to get money from the household department.

A Jin Yiwei came in, walked up to Concubine Li, and said in a low voice: "Chunyu Dian will kill him."

He Lianyan frowned, but Cao Ying said: "The patriarchs of aristocratic families all have the belief that they will die for the sake of the family, otherwise they would not be able to pass it on for so many years."

Concubine Li returned to Jinyiwei.

"Your Majesty, we have used the harshest punishment, but we are afraid of killing him, so we reserve our strength." Jie Long complained.

In the torture room, one of the two Jinyi guards was holding a spike and the other was holding a hammer.

Spikes are to poke and drill into the nails of hands and toes, and hammers are to beat.

Chunyu Dian's toenails had been smashed flat by the hammer, and every time they were smashed, there would be a miserable howl that didn't sound like a human being.

"He's a tough guy." Li Fei said.

The two brocade guards stopped and saluted.

Chunyu Dian panted, and said with a wry smile: "I know the emperor will not leave any male from the Chunyu clan... the revenge of killing his father! He will not die, he will not destroy the Chunyu clan, and he will have no face to honor the emperor after death. In this case , then die!"

Concubine Li immediately entered the palace.

The emperor and the empress were playing chess, and the empress said, "The patriarchs of the aristocratic families all have first-class awareness, no, it's pride. For this pride, they would rather die than surrender!"

The emperor picked up a chess piece and said, "There must be someone in the palace to cooperate."

"The people left behind by Concubine Li, I have already been detained. Yi Niang is investigating this matter." The queen said.

Concubine Li glanced at the queen, thinking that after entering the palace, the queen would not show any signs of dew, as if she was doing nothing, but once she made a move, it would be called quick, accurate and ruthless.

Zhou's daughter is indeed extraordinary.

The torture continued, and the palace man spoke first.

"At the beginning, someone was investigating the whereabouts of the late emperor, and then Concubine De blocked the path that the late emperor must pass, and talked to the late emperor for a while."

It was Yi Niang who presided over the investigation in the palace, and the prince felt a wave of anger from her.

"Concubine De said that His Majesty's health is not good, she is very worried, but she knew a prescription before, which may help His Majesty's condition..."

That old man is filial, and he will definitely take the bait.

"Your Majesty asked her, and then Concubine De hesitated for a long time..."

Yiniang said: "Concubine De exclaimed when she saw the timing, Your Highness absolutely must not!"

The emperor looked up.

This was a well-designed trap. Those people had figured out the nature of filial piety to the emperor, and knew that he was filial, so they used Emperor Xuande's illness as an introduction, and they really hooked him.

"Then..." Yiniang said bitterly, "Concubine De deserves to die!"

Concubine Ke De has already become a skeleton.

……

Ma Hongzhong entered Chang'an City again.

The reason was simple. Ma Xi suddenly asked someone to bring him a message, saying that he was going to take the imperial examination this spring.

Originally, Ma Hongzhong was not very enthusiastic about his son's studies, because his family had a big business, so he hoped that his son could go home and take over.But now most of the family's fields have been sold, and the servants have dispersed, leaving only the money and the house in the family.It is obviously not possible to let the son go home to sit and eat.

Ma Hongzhong was ready to start a business, but his deep-rooted attitude towards class made him not want his son to become a businessman.

Merchant is despicable!

Businessmen value profit and forget justice!

This is the view of merchants in all dynasties.

Today's emperor once said something like this: There is no country for rich merchants.

This slap was slapped on the face of a wealthy businessman, but for ordinary businessmen, it was also embarrassing.

After entering the city, he saw people on both sides of the street.

"What is this for?" Ma Hongzhong ordered his followers to inquire.

The attendant inquired about the news, came back and said excitedly: "Ah Lang, we are going to deal with the Chunyu family today!"

"Ah! It's today!"

Chunyu's case caused a stir in Guanzhong, and Ma Hongzhong knew about it at home.

"It was Chunyu's method that Concubine De slandered the late emperor back then." Ma Hongzhong said with emotion: "How proud Chunyu was at the beginning, how miserable he is now. Remember to remind the old man to warn Dalang, this man! Be content and always be happy. Don't be led away by desire, otherwise, sooner or later you will fall into a big fight."

Chunyu's population is huge.

Men and women lined up in a row, with no end in sight.

"It is said that the men will be beheaded and all the women will be exiled."

The entourage blushed with excitement, and Ma Hongzhong asked, "Why are you so happy, a slave?"

The entourage blurted out, "Seeing the nobleman's misfortune, the villain can't help being happy."

Ma Hongzhong kicked him, sighed for a while, and then went to the Imperial College.

"Aye, why are you here?"

Ma Xi was in class and came out on leave.

"It's thinner!" Ma Hongzhong looked at his son and said distressedly: "But the food in school is not good?"

"Alright! I've practiced with them for a while, so I've become much stronger."

"Really? Good thing." Ma Hongzhong squeezed his son's arm, and said with satisfaction: "I came here to ask you for my father. Your studies are supposed to be difficult for the imperial examination. Last time you also said that you would study in the Imperial College for one more year. How did you change your mind?"

Ma Xi said: "A while ago, someone told me that there might be some changes in the imperial examination this year, and told me to go if I can take part."

"Who is that person?"

"A teenager."

"Could it be to coax you?"

"I saw that the professors were very kind to him. The way they looked at him was like looking at..." Ma Xi thought about it seriously, "It's like looking at his own nephew."

"How do you say that?" Ma Hongzhong was puzzled, "Could it be the nephew of a certain professor?"

"Maybe!" Ma Xi said, "The young man said that if I pass the imperial examination, someone will ask me to do something."

"Where are you going to work?"

"Say it...over there!" Ma Xi said, pointing to the east.

"Isn't that the imperial city? Who can enter the sixth department immediately after the imperial examination?" Ma Hongzhong said: "That probably means that you are asked to go to the east to be an official. Eastern border! That place is desolate. Hey! I was thinking for my father, If not, you should go home!"

"What are you doing at home?"

"If you do business for your father, you will get married and just have children."

"Absolutely not!"

"Why is it wrong? Going to Dongjiang is a big pit!"

"Maybe there's something good in that pit?"

"dream!"

To the east of the palace, it seems to be the East Palace.
