A big gamble: the dandy princess

Chapter 765 The Love Between Husband and Wife (3)
Prince Filial Piety answered "Yes" and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty should know that the Jiang family in the south of the Yangtze River, the Lu family in Xiqing, the Qianmen family in Dongping, and the Han family in the north are the four newly-emerged families after the top ten aristocratic families lived in seclusion a hundred years ago. The famous gates. Each of the four famous gates has unique skills and is famous all over the world. The brocade weaving of the Jiang family in the south of the Yangtze River, the silver village of the Lu family in Xiqing, the hidden weapons of the Qianmen gate in Dongping, and the prospecting of the Han family in the north. When the first ancestor established the dynasty, The development of these four famous families is too fast, which has affected the country's luck and business. The ancestors did not like it, but if these four families were seized, it would destabilize the initially stable government, so the ancestors adopted a policy of appeasement. They recruited the sons of the four famous families to enter the dynasty. , entrusted with official positions, in fact, it was also monitoring the four famous families, using the son as a pledge. Later, when the first ancestor was in the court, the four famous families kept their own. Marrying is also very peaceful. When Emperor Taizong, Xiqing Lu assisted the crown prince at that time to seize the throne, stood in the wrong direction, and was imprisoned and uprooted by the nine clans. The other three families sent their daughters to the palace to accompany the king for a few years. Later, a woman from the Han family ranked first among the four concubines, but she still wanted to ascend to the sky in one step, so she secretly murdered the queen, was shattered, and committed suicide. A cold and damp place. When Emperor Gaozong came to the throne, that is, when the first emperor, only the Jiangnan Jiang family and Dongping Qianmen were left as the four great families. He liked her, named him a title, and was located in Shangqing. Later, in his later years, the Taihuang married his daughter to a humble minister, who is now the concubine of the minister. After the first emperor ascended the throne, the first emperor drafted a draft, and a concubine of the princess was left in the palace. Younger sister, named Rupin, the late emperor loved him very much, but because of the fact that the late emperor demoted King Yun to the Xishan military camp to practice, he fought with Rupin's brother and beat him to death..."

When the ministers heard the words, they suddenly remembered that Princess Yun seemed to have mentioned this matter earlier, she only mentioned Rupin's brother, the emperor's brother-in-law, but they didn't remember that Rupin was born in the Jiang family and was the concubine's concubine sister.

"Continue talking!" Ye Qingran sat on the side and spoke in a deep voice.

"Later, the late emperor Nayun had no choice but to accuse Rupin of spoiling his concubine and destroying his wife in the advice of his ministers. He said that Rupin was a disaster for the emperor, and Jiang was implicated in this matter. The Queen Mother gave Rupin death. The emperor demoted Jiang's concubine to the southwest, which is Jiangling City today. But the late emperor felt guilty for his concubine, so he named Jiang Lie, the son of Jiang's concubine, the county king to guard Jiangling City." Xiao Xiao The prince rested his nerves for a while, and quickly said: "Jiang Lie hasn't committed any crime these years. I am grateful to the late emperor Long En, who has been guarding Jiangling City loyally. He shouldn't... stop Cangting from suppressing bandits."

"Could it be that he harbored a grudge against the late emperor who bestowed death on him like a concubine and demoted Jiang's concubines to the Southwest? That's why he helped Li Qi's banditry? Intercepting the young master Cang to pacify the chaos?" A minister asked doubtfully after hearing this.

Prince Xiao was speechless, because he didn't know either.

"Princess Xiaoqin, do you know the reason?" Ye Qingran looked at Princess Xiaoqin.

The filial princess quickly shook her head, "My wife doesn't know, my wife has not been in touch with that lineage these years, the emperor should know that after the lineage from the concubine was demoted to the southwest, the lineage of Jiang's lineage was reunited with Rong Rong ten years ago. Wang and Wen Bohou sent troops to quell the chaos in northern Xinjiang, and my father and brother also died in northern Xinjiang. Now the Jiang family in Beijing is left with orphans and widowed mothers, and they have fallen. And the southwest is thousands of miles away, so naturally they have lost contact."

"There are three natural barriers in the southwest, one is the Hengshuidu of Jiangling City, the other is Yunling Mountain, and the third is the mud forest in the Southwest City. Now the Southwest City has been captured. The county fell. In the next few days, the rebels captured Guhe, Fenshui, and Linwu. In just [-] days, they lost nearly [-] miles of territory in the southwest. After walking for [-] days, Cangting was still intercepted Crossing the water in Jiangling City. It's really good!" Ye Qingran was furious.

The officials held their breaths, feeling that the rebel army was too powerful, no one would have imagined that Li Qi, a bandit leader with a background in blacksmithing, would use his troops like a god.Could it be that all parts of the southwest did not resist at all, allowing him to go on a rampage?It's a pity that two thousand miles to the southwest is too far away from the capital, beyond reach.

"Think about it again, besides the incident of being a concubine, what else is there, and why did Jiang Lie intercept Cangting?" Ye Qingran calmed down, looked at Xiaoqin and asked.

Prince Xiao quickly nodded, thinking hard.

All the ministers were waiting for him. Although the direct line of Princess Xiaoqin had no connection with the lineage of the concubine, they were connected by blood. After all, Jiang Lie was the younger brother of the concubine of Xiaoqin, and he could also be regarded as his brother-in-law.All the courtiers of the older generation knew about this. Back then, the former emperor was able to save the life of the concubine and was demoted to Jiangling, not only because of the face of the concubine, but also because of the face of the filial piety princess.

Prince Xiao thought for a long time, but he couldn't think of a reason, so he said: "Back to the emperor, I don't know anything else except this. I have no contact with him. My knowledge of Jiang Lie is limited."

Ye Qingran lowered her face, and said to Ye Tianyi: "I leave this matter to you to investigate, and you must find out the reason why Jiang Lie stopped Cangting."

"Yes!" Ye Tianyi nodded.

Ye Qingran turned around and ordered to Yanmo, "You go out of the city now, stop the little princess, so that she doesn't have to go to Nanliang, take my Tianzi sword and go to Jiangling City quickly, and order to open the city gate. If you don't open it, Jiangling City Lord Jiangling Kill without mercy!"

"Yes!" Hearing this, Yan Mo hurried out of the imperial garden.

The ministers looked worried, wondering whether the banditry in the southwest would affect Chao Gang.Earlier, these people kept talking about conquering the southern border, but now the mobilization of troops is imminent, but Cang Shaozhu was stopped at Hengshuidu, and he has not yet met the rebels at the place, which is really worrying.

"Let's come here today!" Ye Qingran no longer wanted to have a banquet, and walked out of the imperial garden to the imperial study.

The officials rushed to send the emperor off, everyone thought that today's banquet was full of twists and turns.

Prince De looked at Prince Xiao, Prince Xiao sighed, and the two followed Ye Qingran to the Imperial Study Room, while the rest dispersed their seats.

Princess Deqin and other female relatives naturally did not stay any longer and walked out.Leng Shaozhuo stepped forward to help the pale-faced filial concubine, and said softly: "Mother, I will take you home."

Princess Xiaoqin held Leng Shaozhuo's hand tightly, watched him open his mouth to say something, but finally said nothing.

Leng Shaozhuo gave her a comforting look, and said to the sixth princess who was still sitting there: "Sixth princess, let's go back to the palace! Although it's warm, you shouldn't wear so little, take care of your body, and live a little longer." When the peach blossoms in Lingtai Temple are in bloom, I have to take a day off to enjoy the peach blossoms with you, and you should also go out of the palace to relax."

"Okay!" The sixth princess answered in a low voice, got up to leave, and just took two steps, she suddenly turned to Yunli and said, "Your Majesty Yun, you and I can go to the Empress Dowager's Palace to pick up the seventh sister! Since she wants to go back to the residence, you You should protect her. Otherwise, if you don't pick it up today, the queen mother might not let her go back."

Yun Li frowned and stood still.

"Seventh Sister has always been very kind to you. In the past, I said something harsh to you, but she wouldn't let it go. Now Shizi Yun dislikes Seventh Sister? Think she is a burden? Don't forget, she is pregnant with your baby. Flesh and blood." The sixth princess said.

Yunli nodded and followed the sixth princess.

Seeing the two leave, Leng Shaozhuo helped Princess Xiaoqin to walk out of the palace. When they came outside the palace, the two of them got into the carriage and when there was no one else, Princess Xiaoqin whispered: "If your father knows that I gave you If your little uncle sends a letter asking him to stop Cang Ting, he will definitely not forgive me."

"Don't worry, my father won't know that you sent a letter to my uncle to stop him. All these years, he has not allowed you to contact Jiang's concubine's lineage. You really didn't contact him. He definitely didn't think it was you." Leng Shao Zhuo lowered his voice.

The filial concubine closed her eyes, "Zhuo'er, it's good that you know what you're doing, mother will only help you this time. Apart from you being my son, mother will help you for another reason, which is Jiang's secret training. Your father never knew that the Jiang family has secret training, no matter male or female, they are born as members of the Jiang family, and die as the soul of the Jiang family. It is their duty to protect the Jiang family's ancestral property throughout their lives. Every generation of descendants, whether they are descendants or concubines Therefore, even if my mother dies, she will never forget that she is a member of the Jiang family, and she will never forget that she was a member of the Jiang family. The emperor pretends to love her like a concubine and use her to destroy the Jiang family, and he will never forget the branch that was relegated to the southwest, let alone his father and brother who died in northern Xinjiang ten years ago."

"I know what I'm doing, mother, don't worry." Leng Shaozhuo nodded.

"How can you allow other people to snore on the side of Ye's couch? The top ten aristocratic families back then were clever enough to hide from the world, and escaped the ancestor emperor's desire to eradicate them, but the new four famous families didn't know it, and they wanted to carry forward the family. But what can they do? ? Didn’t they get the attention of the royal family and have the heart to prevent and eradicate them? Generation after generation, when the first emperor, the only two great families left were the Jiang family and the Qian family. Going to the Southwest diverted the Jiang family's family business. The most taboo of such a famous family is to divide the family. Just like one chopstick is easy to break, it is not easy to break two chopsticks. The remaining Jiang family's father and brother died. There were only orphans and widowed mothers left in the family, and they couldn’t be grand, so they didn’t worry about the queen’s arrival, and turned to Qianmen again. But Qianmen has always been guarded by someone, and they couldn’t find the disadvantages of Qianmen. The emperor was also helpless, until the first day of the last year, because Jing Shizi and Miss Qianyue were deeply involved in the underground Buddhist hall of Lingtai Temple, the prince invited someone to invite the head of the Qianmen sect. After that, the twelve golden Buddha statues disappeared. The head of Qianmen was dismissed. Later, to no avail, Jing Shizi went around and put the head of Qianmen back. Not long after that, Qianmen moved overnight, and people went to the empty building. After his death, the whereabouts of Qianmen were not found, so he left it to the next generation. The regent later captured the owner of the sect, Qian Yan, but committed suicide as soon as he got his hands. The person at the door must be Jing Shizi from Rong Wangfu." Xiaoqin Wangfei said slowly: "Only Jing Shizi can have the ability to protect a person when the former emperor wants to eradicate him."

Leng Shaozhuo nodded.
