Chapter 270 Finishing work
What Qin Zhao didn't expect was that the national mourning in the Kingdom of David was not as she imagined. The national mourning in the Ming and Qing Dynasties in the previous life in her memory was very complicated and grand. , It's just too different from what she imagined.

First of all, the funeral was only held for three days, because the queen's mausoleum had been built long ago, and the funeral was carried out in three days.Secondly, even though the whole country is in decline, there are only three days of filial piety, and the rest are only one year, and the whole country is not allowed to feast and marry.Everything else is fine.

Although there were only three days of mourning, when they returned to the palace, not to mention the tired old concubine, even Qin Zhao and Yixing almost fell asleep.

Back at Fucui Pavilion, Yunshang had already prepared hot water and clean clothes. Qin Zhao took a hot bath and changed into clean clothes. He finally felt more comfortable. When he lay down on the bed, he felt The hunger was unbearable, but it was useless for her to remind, Yun Shang came over with a bowl of bird's nest soup in person: "The princess drinks a bowl of soup before going to bed. It's only been a few days, and she has become so thin. The slave girl feels distressed. "

Qin Zhao took the soup and ate it in two or three mouthfuls. Finally, he was not so hungry, and he became more energetic, so he asked Yunshang, "Where is Miss?"

These days are chaotic, and she has no energy to take care of Yuanzi, so she is handed over to Yunshang to take care of her.Originally, ever since Xiaoyuanzi was beaten by Qin Han, she had been interested in finding a female guard for Yuanzi, but she had been busy all the time, not to mention that it was not easy to find the right person, so she forgot about it.

Yun Chang replied: "Yesterday, the young lady had a fever. It's not easy to ask the imperial doctor to come now. I just found a doctor in the city. Today, the fever has subsided. Only when the princess came back, the young lady was sleeping. The servant did not have the heart to wake her up."

Qin Zhao hurriedly asked about Xiao Yuanzi's condition in detail, and when he knew that the fever was gone, the doctor only said that he should take good care of him, and he was relieved.

Presumably this girl was afraid that she would be too scared because of the turmoil in the city, and she was too busy to have time to relieve her, and this was due to the large temperature difference between morning and evening in autumn, which is why she got sick.

After thinking about it, Qin Zhao decided to send her back to the farm when she recovered from her illness. Although the national funeral is over now, there are still many things that need to be dealt with afterward. I'm afraid there will be chaos for a while.The execution of the prince and Wei Wang's rebellion has not yet come down.I don't know which families will be unlucky. At this time, it's better to send Xiao Yuanzi back to the farm to be safe.The main reason is that she will not take it easy in the future, and really can't care about Xiao Yuanzi.There are still two time bombs in the palace. If she is negligent and someone threatens her with Xiao Yuanzi, then she will really want to die.

After making up his mind, he asked Yunshang to send someone to find Qin Helai.

Yun Chang didn't dare to persuade her to rest first, so she had to go.

From time to time, Qin He entered the house and saluted. Qin Zhao gave him a seat and asked, "Is there any news outside these days? How is the war going on in Anxi?"

Qin He replied: "There is no news about the battle in Anxi. At this time, no news is good news. But outside," Qin He paused, and continued, "Wei Palace was raided, and the current Wei Palace is only one The Kong mansion, apart from Wei Wang’s mansion, Pingqinghou’s mansion and the Duke of E’s mansion were also copied. There are also some other families, but they don’t have much friendship with our mansion..."

Qin Zhao only sighed when he heard this, he didn't expect Emperor Li to move so fast, while organizing the queen's funeral, he arrested all suspicious people involved in the palace change.Next, I'm afraid it will be interrogation and conviction.

Although there are eight proposals for nobles, treason is really not among the eight proposals.It's not surprising that Pingqinghou's Mansion was raided, but it was the same for E State Duke's Mansion. It seems that Emperor Li didn't intend to care about his affection.

With Emperor Li's current attitude, if he hadn't been side by side with the palace and Jinyang, he would have been implicated in the war initiated by Anxi Murong's family, even if he kept his face now, he still couldn't do without Qin Zhe if he worried about the peace in the northwest. , I'm afraid that in the future, they will settle accounts after autumn.

Qin Zhao has asked Ah Shu to send a letter to Qin Zhe through the caravan, and must collect Qin Huaiyong's criminal evidence.If you don't use the Murong family's rebellion to crucify Qin Huaiyong, then Qin Huaiyong will be able to crush her and Qin Zhe to death with only a filial piety. The past few years have been peaceful, but because there is an old concubine on his head It's just that Qin Huaiyong can't get in the way of her and Qin Zhe's affairs.And now that the Qin family is not separated, it is Qin Huaiyu and his wife who speak in the house.If the old concubine goes, the Qin family will be separated, and the old dukes of Luyue and Luyue's mansions will be gone. Qin Huaiyong will be the head of the family and the father of her siblings. Then it will be really troublesome.

Qin He also said something about the situation. Uncle Pei was thrown into the prison because he refused to go along with the prince. He fell into a coma, but fortunately he was rescued later. Although his life was not in danger, he would at least have to be sick for a few months.

On the contrary, people from honorable families like them were imprisoned in the palace, and nothing happened.

Luo Jingnian and Qi Liangxian were originally imperial guards, and they were both injured in the fight. Luo Jingnian was fine and the injuries were not serious, but Qi Liangxian was almost cut off with an arm.

In addition, although Qin Zhao's shop was affected, it was just that the front of the shop was smashed, one clerk died and six or seven people were injured.The loss in money is not too great.

Qin Zhao asked Qin He to deal with the aftermath of the dead and injured. It was nothing more than giving preferential treatment to the family members of the dead, sending medicines to the injured, covering all medical expenses, and sending some money.

There are also shops that need repairing.Qin Zhao didn't need to worry about these.

However, in two days, the officials and nobles involved in the palace change were dealt with.Although the Marquis of Pingqing was implicated because his daughter married Wei Wangfu and became the eldest concubine, Qi Liangxian only took the title of Marquis Qi because of his meritorious service in saving him, but he did not seize the title. He has meritorious service, and he will inherit the Marquis.The government of E State was not so lucky, not only seized the title, demoted to common people, but also exiled the whole family.

Wei Wang's whole house was demoted to common people and imprisoned for life.All the officials in the East Palace were executed, and the prince, concubine and several children were deposed as common people and imprisoned.On the contrary, Li Taiyan, the Duke of Anguo, lived in another mansion for a long time, and had no evidence to participate in the palace change. He was only deprived of the Duke of the country and demoted to the Duke of the county, but he was not confinement.After all, Emperor Li liked this grandson, and worried that he would kill his successor emperor in Chang'an City, so he gave him a county as a food town, and sent him far away to Lingnan, far away from Chang'an.As long as he is willing to keep his own position, even if the new king takes power, he won't go all the way to trouble him.

As for the marriage between Qin Zhao and Li Taiyan, until Li Taiyan left Chang'an City, Emperor Li did not mention it again.Everyone in the Qin family breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he didn't mention that he will marry Qin Zhao in a year, the possibility of the marriage being dissolved is very high.

After the old concubine heard the news, she sighed silently and reborn, then asked about the situation of Sanxingju, and told Jinyang: "Look at it, from now on, Erlang and Yunhe are not allowed to leave the mansion."

Jin Yang responded with a calm face.

Next, there will be rewards for those who have contributed to the rescue during this palace change.

The You family of Langya County was given the duke of the country because they led the Langya army to relieve the danger of Chang'an City, and became the Duke of Yiguo.

Chen Chuzheng of Lu Guogong's mansion was promoted from the former right general of Jinwuwei to the general of hussars, and he was a second-rank military post.

Luo Jingnian was promoted to the second rank of guard with a knife.Luo Jingnian originally planned to take advantage of the opportunity of the reward to marry Qin Zhao, but firstly, it was the national mourning period, and the fact of the marriage should not be mentioned, and secondly, Emperor Li did not clearly decree that Qin Zhao and Li Taiyan's marriage would be avoided. After thinking about it, there was still no sound.However, Li Taiyan had already gone to Lingnan, only because the position of the Qin family in Emperor Li's heart remained unchanged, and the Duke of Yue's mansion was not in decline, he and Qin Zhao's marriage could still be planned slowly.Furthermore, Qin Zhao is only 15 years old after all, so there is no need to worry about her marriage.Neither the King of Side Shoulders nor Jin Yang will promise her to others easily.

Other families also have their own rewards and punishments.

For a time in Chang'an City, there were those who admired madly, and those who died and cried.

And the bustling East and West Two Markets have slowly returned to their former prosperity.

Qin Zhao was always worried about the war in the northwest, and went to Jinyang very frequently every day.How could Jinyang not know what was on her mind?So he told her the news that Qin Huaiyu brought back every day.

The lost territory of several counties, an important town in Beiping that was captured by the Murong family, has gradually recovered. The Murong family has retreated to Anxi. Now Qin Zhe is attacking Anxi with the Beiping government army, and there are reports of success from time to time.

It's just that there are many Anxi troops, and there are peripheral support such as the Uyghur Turks. It is not a matter of defeating the Murong family and regaining Anxi.Moreover, winter is about to begin. If this war cannot be ended before the severe winter, it may be delayed until next spring when the ice and snow melt.

In addition, the court also sent [-] forbidden troops to support.

In the war in the northwest, there is only waiting.Life in Chang'an City slowly returned to normal.

The shop at Ah Shu's side also started to operate normally.Because there are no Western Region goods brought back by the caravan this autumn, it has been affected to some extent. Fortunately, some goods have been stored before, and the store will not be closed.In fact, it's not just their shop. Due to the war at the northwest border, all caravans were affected, and everyone lost their supply, so the loss of the shop was not too great.

Teahouses and flower shops are still unable to operate normally due to renovations.

Qin Zhao had time to go to Chunyu's house to see Chunyuyu. Chunyu's family was only an eighth-rank official, and a palace change had no effect on him. After the crisis was resolved, he still went to work as usual. After sitting at Chunyu's house, he planned to say goodbye.Chunyuyu's sister-in-law watched Qin Zhao hesitate to speak, Qin Zhao said with a smile: "My lady, just tell me if you need my help, if you need my help, you can do it, just for the sake of Chunyu's sister Will not refuse."

Chunyu's sister-in-law said with a smile: "The slave said it directly, but it's not for other reasons. Although it's really hard to mention this during the national mourning, it's just that as a slave, it's rare to see the princess once. I finally got the chance today. I have to mention it. It’s my family, Ayu, who is quite old now. I know only a few people with her elder brother, and Ayu is a rare person. I really don’t have the ability to help Ayu find a good marriage. Ayu is favored by the princess. , why not help us, Ayu, find a good husband, her brother and I will be grateful to the Princess."

Chunyu Yusheng is extremely beautiful and has such a character, but Chunyu is still only an eighth-rank Beijing official, it is really not easy to find a suitable marriage, and Chunyu Yu is now 20 years old, speaking of it, it has indeed become New Year's leftover girl.In fact, it is not uncommon for David's woman to be unmarried at the age of 20, but it is also rare for a woman to be married at the age of 20.No wonder Chunyu's sister-in-law was in such a hurry.

Besides, the country mourns for one year, and Chunyuyu will be 21 years old by then, becoming an old lady.

But with Chunyuyu's talent and appearance, but her family background is not high, it is really not easy to find someone who can match her.

Qin Zhao was also a little worried.Speaking of her own marriage, she still has a brain, but how many times she has been a matchmaker.

After thinking about it, Qin Zhao still smiled and said, "Young lady, there is no need to worry. With Sister Ayu's appearance, I have to slowly find someone who is worthy of her, so that I will not be buried. Fortunately, there is still a year, we Will take it to heart."

Chunyu's sister-in-law quickly thanked her: "With the words of the princess, her brother and I can always rest assured. Ayu has been clamoring not to marry, but she and I are very worried. Now that the princess regards it as Gu, we What else is there to worry about?"

Then let Chunyuyu send Qin Zhao out.

When he arrived at the door, Chunyuyu blushed and said to Qin Zhao: "Sister-in-law is always worried about my marriage. In fact, I... don't want to marry. Now I work for the princess and earn a lot of money. The life at home is always It's okay, even if you don't marry, it's nothing, the Princess don't have to worry about my affairs."

What she said made Qin Zhao feel a little strange. When she first met Chunyuyu, she saved Chunyuyu's life. At that time, she realized that this surprisingly beautiful and weak woman was actually a very stoic person. Later, she helped her manage The two businesses of tea shop and tea house are full of talent. Under her management, the business of tea shop and tea house is booming. Even the few businesses derived from the tea house are mostly managed by her. All kinds of people wait for her. There is nothing wrong with dealing with each other.Such a person, marrying into any family is a sign of prosperity. In fact, there are quite a few people who want to marry her because of her talent and appearance, but the Kingdom of David is a country with strict ranks after all, and those who are worthy of her, she Those who are not worthy of other people's family status, not worthy of her, let alone her, even Chunyu's brother and sister-in-law.So looking at Chunyuyu, who was doing very well, he couldn't find a marriage.

Qin Zhao wanted to understand the reason, and was a little embarrassed for a while.But she comforted her and said: "Sister, why bother to belittle yourself, you can always find the right person. Or is there someone you like in your heart? If there is, sister, why don't you tell me, maybe I can help sister with some ideas. "

Chunyu Yu was silent for a while, then laughed: "Not at all. The princess doesn't have to worry about my affairs anymore, it's wasting the princess's time, you should go back soon."

Although she was smiling, Qin Zhao noticed the slight sadness in her eyes, and she was caressing in her heart.Then he smiled and said, "Then I'll go back first, sister doesn't have to send it off."

She originally wanted to go back to the palace, but because of Chunyuyu's affairs, she planned to go to the teahouse. Although it hadn't opened yet and was being renovated, the teahouse had a steward working there.

In the end, before reaching the teahouse, he ran into Luo Jingnian head-on.Seeing Qin Zhao, Luo Jingnian galloped over to greet him: "I was just going to the palace, and I don't want to run into you here."

Seeing Luo Jingnian, Qin Zhao couldn't help but his heart beat faster, but he said calmly, "Aren't you on duty in the palace today? I heard that you were injured, are you okay?"

Luo Jingnian smiled and nodded: "Slightly injured, it's been fine for a long time. So, you still miss me in your heart?"

Qin Zhao rolled his eyes at him.

Luo Jingnian came over, the two horses leaned on each other, and the two of them were getting closer, Qin Zhao heard him whisper: "During those days of chaos, I was very happy that you were able to visit my aunt."

Qin Zhao turned to the side, made some distance to come out, and said, "It's not just that I went to see Aunt Wei, I also went to several other houses, even for the guards in the house, and it was also brought by Mrs. Hong. .You don't have to thank me specifically,'

"It's true. It's right for a daughter-in-law to worry about her mother-in-law."

Qin Zhao couldn't help but rolled his eyes again. Why did this tall, cold, expensive and flamboyant guy become so shameless as soon as he came in front of her: "This is a street in broad daylight, pay attention to the brilliance of your second-rank guard with a knife Image. With a shy face, I am not afraid of people seeing jokes."

Luo Jingnian said with a smile: "I say a few nice words to my own wife, what does it matter to others? Whoever likes to make jokes should make jokes."

Qin Zhao asked himself that he couldn't compete with him as a father, but also couldn't fight with shame. He heard him call him his wife, and he was a little bit pleased. While secretly despising himself, he had to change the subject: "Didn't you say you want to go to our house? But what's the matter?" thing?"

Luo Jingnian looked at her pink and slightly red face, and wanted to go up and take a bite, but he could only suppress the heat in his heart, licked his lips, and replied: "It's nothing serious, I just heard that the old concubine has always been in poor health. Some things are not good, my grandfather and my mother sent me to visit her old man."

Speaking of which, Qin Zhao hadn't seen Luo Che for a while, so he asked, "I haven't seen Grandpa Luo for a while, too. Is he okay?"

Luo Jingnian nodded.

The two fell silent for a while.

Luo Che went back to the Zhuangzi outside the city, and Qin Zhao had to leave the city for a while, so he didn't go to visit.

Speaking of which, Luo Che was in charge of the Jinwu Guard during the palace change, and the generals on the left and right obeyed his orders. He originally ignored political affairs after the founding of the country, but after so many years, he still has such prestige. It's a matter, but it's out of the question. Avoiding it at this time can at least block people's tongues. The old man may not care what others say, but he is a quiet person, and he doesn't want to be involved in the government. The most important thing is that he I have to consider His Majesty's thoughts.

As soon as the country was founded, he handed over his military power. Although he was granted the title of Duke, he never took up a real position. It may not be because Emperor Li felt at ease with him.

After all, he is different from those founding heroes who spoke recklessly.

He was the son of the famous Prince of Beiping in the previous dynasty, his background was too noble, and he had made such military exploits, even if he was as wise as Emperor Li, deep down in his heart, he might not be unscrupulous.

In fact, if such a person recruited soldiers in troubled times, he might not be able to become the founding emperor with the strength of Beiping back then and his military talent, but he didn't do that.Qin Zhao couldn't understand what he was thinking.

The supreme ninety-five emperor, a generation of emperors, which capable man does not have such a dream?He has ability and strength, but he is willing to be inferior to others, helping others to build a kingdom. After the founding of the country, he did not change his power, and simply let go of the military power. What is it?
If it is said that he is dedicated to serving the common people, Qin Zhao will not believe it. A future prince born with a golden spoon in his mouth, who listens to the announcement but does not obey the call, and whose status is far beyond ordinary princes, how does he know the suffering of the common people?
