Yutai Bi

Chapter 258
Mrs. Du came back with a happy face.Not only did Emperor Gaozong not blame her, but he personally made an apology to her.Xiaoqing and Subai were punished to the clothing bureau.

When I first heard that Cen Sanniang was not feeling well, she invited a doctor, and the old lady rushed back to Yanju without changing her clothes.

"Yan Sui, you're going to live in your study these few days." Mrs. Du sent Du Yansui away regardless of whether she was really pregnant or not.

At this time, Cen Sanniang's chest was no longer stuffy, and she was a little embarrassed: "Grandma, I seem to be fine."

Mrs. Du gave her a sharp look and said: "The days are light, of course there is no reaction. You still have to pay attention, if you do, you will regret it later."

Called Mother Fang and a few girls, and didn't allow Cen Sanniang to leave the yard.

When the old lady left happily, Cen Sanniang pinched Du Yansui: "Look, it's all your fault. Grandma would be so disappointed if she didn't get pregnant."

Du Yansui just counted the days there: "It's already March. If she becomes pregnant, the delivery date should be October or November..."

Cen Sanniang was in a complicated mood.It's a joy to be pregnant.She was a little scared again.Not pregnant and stressed.

Counting the days was restless, and she couldn't sleep well at night.Du Yansui went to the study for a day, then came back quietly.She only missed a curse and vowed never to touch Cen Sanniang before she was let in by Mother Fang.

When they came together this morning, Cen Sanniang opened her eyes and saw Du Yansui staring at her: "I didn't come yesterday. How about today?"

Cen Sanniang couldn't help laughing: "It's normal to be a few days late, how can it be so accurate every month." She was also curious, "Tell me, are you looking forward to it or not?"

Du Yansui thought for a while and said, "To be honest, I don't want you to have one now."

Cen Sanniang beat him angrily: "My daughter-in-law is pregnant, and her husband is ecstatic. What kind of mentality do you have? You are not happy to have it, and I am afraid of life!"

"No. I'm not unhappy!" Du Yansui grabbed her hand and hugged her into her arms, "If you are not pregnant, the Du family has no heir, and the emperor wants me to go to the Western Army to make military achievements. There is also something to say. If you are pregnant, I will not be able to say. After a year or so, the emperor will always take back the power. The government is stable, and some people are loyal to the emperor, and he will gradually forget about me. I will be a What's wrong with being idle? At this juncture, if he wants to speak, it is impossible for me not to do things for him. I always want to wait until everything is settled and I can live a smooth and stable life with you. Grandma is old We are only impatient. We are still young, are we afraid that we will not have a son in the future?"

Cen Sanniang nodded straightly: "I can only feel sorry for grandma. I also hope that I don't get pregnant now. It doesn't matter if it's a year or two later."

Du Yansui smiled and kissed her on the face: "You really have it, and I am also happy."

Mrs. Du also asked Yin's mother several times a day: "It's only been a few days. I remember that the monthly letter from Sanniang is only three or four days away. If there is no monthly letter after ten days, it is accurate."

Mother Yin smiled and said, "Your wish will definitely come true."

The whole family is counting the days, March is over, and Cen Sanniang's menstruation has not yet come.The doctor entered the mansion again, and this time he answered affirmatively: "It's undoubtedly a happy pulse. It's just that the month is still young."

Really?Cen Sanniang's previous anxiety was suddenly swept away, and she rubbed her stomach and thought foolishly, is it a son or a daughter?
Du Yansui walked around Cen Sanniang a few times, staring at her belly in disbelief: "Is there really?"

"Stupid boy! It's not true! Ask Mama Wu to come, I have to read the daily food list in the kitchen!" Mrs. Du was overjoyed, and when she saw Cen Sanniang standing up, she called, "Don't move! Hurry up!" , help the young lady to go to bed and lie down. Let's talk about it after lying down for three months!"

"Grandmother, isn't this bad?" Cen Sanniang didn't feel sleepy at all, and suddenly felt that it was too miserable to lie down and not move after she was pregnant.

"It's right to listen to grandma!" Mrs. Du said categorically, "Mother Yin, you stay here and watch. Mother Fang, follow me back to the righteous hall. Don't be coaxed by the young lady to make your ears go soft."

Mrs. Du stepped forward, and Cen Sanniang glared at Du Yansui: "I don't want to lie down."

Mother Yin said with a smile: "Young Madam, don't run away and don't move around. The old Madam is too happy."

After hearing this sentence, Cen Sanniang finally breathed a sigh of relief.Send Du Yansui out, and ask Yin's mother about the woman's pregnancy.

In a blink of an eye, Yuchi Baoshu's secret book was sent back to the capital.

People and livestock in the grassland are short of food and clothing in winter.The entire Western Turks were starving with hunger, staring at the fertile Central Plains, wielding sabers, and riding horses desperately into borders and towns to grab food.

When the Western Expeditionary Army first arrived, they sent troops to meet the enemy, and beat the Western Turks back for twenty miles.Annihilated [-] enemies.

However, after this battle was won.The cold and long winter on the prairie made the British Duke decide not to venture further.Distribute the army to patrol within a hundred miles from the border.

The cunning He Lu also changed his strategy.A small group of troops kept teasing Tang Jun.

In the severe winter wind, the Tang army dared not disarm all day long.Many soldiers were surrounded by Turkic soldiers, cut off their food supply, and died of cold and starvation.

The British Duke felt that this must be a trick of the Western Turkic envoys, trying to lead the army deep into the grassland, and ordered the Tang army not to enter rashly.

After a few months, the Tang army and the Western Turks did not fight head-on, but lost thousands of troops.

The British Duke shifted the responsibility for the soldiers' lack of supplies, freezing and starvation to the food supervisor in the rear and Du Jingxian, who was in charge of ordnance anchors, and ordered each to hit [-] army sticks to see the effect.

Gaozong was furious.

A new round of quarrels started in the hall.

The courtiers who supported the veteran said that the Duke of England followed the late emperor to fight on the battlefield and stayed at the frontier without advancing rashly, because he had seen through He Lu's plot to lure our army to go deep.

The Loyalist faction headed by Yuchi Baolin retorted loudly.The Western Expedition Army is fighting the Western Turks, not guarding the border.What's the point of conquering the west when tens of 10 people don't fight and become city guards.

Gaozong saw the courtiers making noise with cold eyes, and the anger accumulated for a long time broke out like a blowout.

Gao Zong said coldly: "The hero is old and no longer the courage of the past. What's the use of it?"

The emperor spared the British Duke's death penalty because of his old age and past achievements because he did not stay in the country and did not work hard to fight the war.He was dismissed from his position as the general manager of the march to the west.

Another courtier spoke for the British Duke, and Gaozong directly rewarded him with a court staff.

The veterans shook their heads and sighed.

The emperor's expedition to the west was indeed not to ask the British prince to go to the border to retire.A few 10 people, not to mention a few months, consume an appalling amount of food every day.Hundreds of thousands of peasants transported grain and grass to the west day and night.The British refused to venture forward, and the Western Turks were still enjoying themselves on the grasslands.People don't even have the confidence to speak for him.

Withdrew the British Duke and beat the disobedient courtiers.It just passed by.

Gaozong became more and more confident.Immediately afterwards, the second decree was cast out.

Wu Zhaoyi, who was sick in the palace, suffered repeated illnesses. At first, she thought it was because of the wind and cold in the past winter, but she did not get better after more than two months.Gaozong became suspicious, stopped Wu Zhaoyi's medicine, and called the imperial physician again for diagnosis and treatment.

This examination didn't matter, and it turned out that Zhaoyi's medicine dregs contained several medicines with contradictory properties.After a follow-up investigation, two imperial doctors committed suicide in the Imperial Hospital, and a female doctor slipped and fell into the Taiye Pool.All of them have a vague relationship with the queen.

Whether the evidence is conclusive or not is irrelevant.

Eunuch Hu's long and sharp voice read the emperor's will word by word.Gaozong reprimanded Empress Cui for poisoning Wu Zhaoyi, announced that after the abolition of Cui, she would become a commoner, and seized Mrs. Cui's first rank.Capture the founding marquis.The Hou family of the founding state was exiled from Chang'an.Let them go back to their hometown.

The will of the abolished queen is like a spring thunder that explodes suddenly.Before the courtiers could react, the decree had already been read.The queen has been deposed as a commoner.The founding marquis and his wife, Li Shi, packed their luggage in a panic and were escorted by the government soldiers to leave Chang'an City.

"Your Majesty! Absolutely not!" the civil servants headed by Webster yelled sharply, knocking on the gold bricks on the temple as if they were tofu.

The Duke of England fell, but the Queen, who represented the interests of the veterans, could not.

Gaozong scattered evidence piece by piece.

A doll who is tired of doing things.General Cui Zhonglang sent to kill Du Yansui.The imperial doctor who committed suicide in the imperial hospital.The only one that has not been made public is the Qianniuwei who appeared in the queen's bedroom late at night after changing his servant.

Wei Xiang fainted.He was politely invited by the emperor to go home to recuperate.

Gaozong did not kill them all.The punishment for the Cui family was limited to Empress Cui's mother and elder brother. Cui Jidong separated from the family and was still working as a seventh-rank official in the Ministry of Punishment.Cui Zhongdong was not implicated in Zhengxi Army.

The Cui family finally collapsed.The sword hanging over Du's head was knocked to the ground by Gaozong's slap.Immediately afterwards, Wei Xiang, the strongest supporter in the court, was exiled to Xuzhou as the governor.

Seven days later, Emperor Gaozong made another decree to make Wu Zhaoyi the queen.The prince Hong was established as the prince, and the former prince was made a king and demoted to the fiefdom.The year name was changed to the first year of Xianqing.Amnesty to the world.

Master Cen got the pardon and returned to his hometown in Longzhou from Youzhou.

So far, the battle with the courtiers came to an end with the emperor's victory.

Empress Wu's identity is still questioned by many Qingliu.Gaozong needed a big victory to show his wisdom.It is the common wish of the two to conquer the Western Turks.

Emperors are suspicious.

Things have changed.With the resignation of the British public, he retired from his old age.Empress Cui was abolished.The civil servants and military generals in the court finally abandoned the halo of the late emperor's courtiers and surrendered to the emperor.

Wu Zhaoyi was established as the queen.Gaozong learned from Cui's lesson and didn't want another queen with power in his hands.
