Huang Jue, after three marriages

Chapter 667 Final Chapter
At the beginning of September, the weather in Zhuangzili on the outskirts of Beijing is still cool, which is the time of autumn.

In the afternoon, there was silence in Zhuangzi's backyard. Even the servants walked as lightly as possible, held their breath, and passed quickly.

Rong Rong shook her round fan and sat in the gazebo in the middle courtyard, looking back from time to time.

"Madam Qin, please wait a while." Bai Lu came out from the backyard, walked up to Rong Rong and bowed lightly.

"Sister..." Miss An Qi glanced behind her head unconsciously and said, "Is it okay?"

"The concubine is in good health, but she is a little sleepy. Dr. Kong said that she should sleep more, so at this time, the prince does not allow anyone to disturb her." Bai Lu said with a smile.

Not to mention disturbing, but not even approaching within ten meters of the house.

"Is your lord alright?" Rong Rong slapped her round fan twice, and said with a slight frown.

Although it has been three months, but whenever she thinks about Qishan, she still feels a little terrified.

At that time, she was still in the capital, packing up her things with the other female relatives, and was going to leave for the summer resort in two days.

Suddenly, the soldiers of the five cities, Ma Si, closed the gates of the city, and then the imperial guards mobilized.

The Rongguo Mansion was besieged.

She got the news from Qin Wuhou's mansion, ignored Qin Wuhou's persuasion, and rushed back to the Rongguo mansion. Fortunately, the guard was from Wucheng Bingmasi, so he let her in.

At that time, the old matriarch Rong was telling the people in the mansion to do things as usual and never to have any conflicts with the soldiers besieging the mansion. After seeing her coming, he calmly took her back to the main house.

But as soon as he entered the bedroom, the old matriarch Rong fell down on the chair, his face was ashen, and he seemed to have aged more than ten years.

Mrs. Rong said that Duke Rong and Marquis Weiyuan teamed up to cooperate with Fang Xiang and Chen Xiang to force the emperor to abdicate and give way to Kang Wang on the way to Songshan.

Mrs. Rong said that she was all to blame. She actually thought that Duke Rong would not have any more troubles after the death of Mrs. Wang, but she did not expect Duke Rong to have such a big heart.

The century-old Duke Rong's mansion is about to be destroyed in the hands of Duke Rong!

Hearing these words, her heart at that time was like a block of ice, and it was completely cold.

Qin Shizi is the captain of the Xiaoqi camp, and one of the men brought by Rong Guogong. If Rong Guogong rebelled, he would definitely not tell the people below. If Qin Shizi obeyed the order, he would also become a traitor.

That's not because Rongguo's mansion was destroyed, even Qin Wuhou's mansion couldn't escape!

Fortunately, half a day later, Qin Shizi's personal guards came back to deliver a letter, saying that Qin Shizi had persuaded another school lieutenant to lead the troops under the Xiaoqi battalion to join the imperial guards and rescued the emperor. Not long after that, the virtuous king arrived The small town took over the jurisdiction of the Xiaoqi Battalion and the Guards.

And the two of them took away most of the troops brought out by Rong Guogong, so when the town was besieged, it was Weiyuanhou's people who took the lead, Rong Guogong had not yet confronted the imperial guards head-on.

The old matriarch Rong and her were just relieved, and the guard said something else embarrassingly.

The personal guard said that he didn't know what happened on Qishan Mountain. Marquis Weiyuan said that it was the virtuous king who rebelled, but the emperor didn't say anything. Those who escaped with their backs on their backs died in the end, and King Kang arrived and took Princess Xian away.

At that time, she was only interested in asking Concubine Xian what was wrong, but she didn't find that Mrs. Rong's expression was wrong, so she was taken aback two days later.

Two days later, Qin Shizi returned to Beijing and told her what happened at that time.

After King Xian arrived at the small town below Qishan, he took control of the situation in Qishan in just one day, and the people of Marquis Huaining had already reached [-] miles outside the town, forming a siege. Seeing that there was no chance of winning, Marquis Weiyuan let Weiyuan Hou Shizi led the people to surrender, and left a letter himself, admitting that Fang Xiang and Chen Xiang asked him to do this, and then explained that he did not see the emperor when he went to the ancient temple, and there were only four people on the ground. The dead minister, that's why he had such a wrong sentence, and then he committed suicide and apologized.

After Weiyuan Hou Shizi surrendered, Rong Guogong was two hours late and there was no movement.

When King Xian's men got impatient and prepared to attack, Duke Rong's personal guards came out with news of Duke Rong's suicide and a letter of apology and explanation from Duke Rong, and then led all his subordinates to surrender.

After Qin Shizi finished speaking, he continued with an unspeakable expression, he went to see Rong Guogong's body, and felt that it was not like suicide, but was forcibly strangled to death, but at that time King Xian didn't pursue it, so he must have will not say.

At that time, she realized that it should be the order from Mrs. Rong.

In order not to be implicated by Duke Rong's government and the Rong family, she personally ordered to kill her son.

It's just that she has no way to comfort the old matriarch Rong, and she can't be sad for too long, because when Prince Qin returned to Beijing, it was also when the virtuous king brought the emperor back to Beijing, and then there was a bloody storm.

King Xian had already dealt with those people and the army who had mutinied in the small town.

This time, although the Marquis of Weiyuan committed suicide to save the lives of his family, the Marquis of Weiyuan was confiscated, and the eldest son and all the family members of the Marquis were sentenced to exile and sent to southern Xinjiang.

Because of Qin Shizi's actions and the fact that Rong Guogong had committed suicide, and Rong Shizi made great contributions in chasing Tong Guan, the merits and demerits were equal, and Rong Shizi took over Rong Guogong's position.

As for the rest of the people, except for beheading the two school captains who shouted arrogantly to the virtuous king to rebel and asked the emperor to surrender, the rest of the school captains were either dismissed or exiled, and the soldiers were transferred to the border for retraining.

The handling of the generals made people in the capital think that the matter might be reduced to a minor one.

After all, the mutiny army just cleaned up the power and didn't kill many people, so the remaining civil servants, four ministers have already died, so they should be fine after all.

But within half a day, those people knew that they were wrong.

If it was said that Zhao Hao had come forward to kill the people of the Xu family, Cai Bing, and the Xian Wang had somehow saved his face, then this time, the Xian Wang completely ignored them.

Regardless of whether it was Fang Xiangchen's people, or people from the Fu family and Ji University scholars, if they had anything to do with the Qishan incident, they would be beheaded without trial.

Mr. Fu died on Mount Qishan, but the daughters and in-laws of the Fu family, Master Ye, the Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple, stayed in the small town, and the Marquis of Weiyuan used Ye Shaoqing as the emperor's breakfast meal. In the name of poison, they besieged the town.

At that time, people in the capital thought that since King Xian won the victory, the Fu family would be the first to contribute. Because of this, the two young masters of the Fu family had been jumping around a lot in those two days.

After King Xian came back, his first order was to tie up the Fu family (except for the dismissal of the Fu family's third wife) and the Ye family and the Wang family to the execution ground, and behead them all for public display.

The charge was that Master Fu University, Ji University, together with Ye Shaoqing, Wang Zhifu, poisoned the emperor with the intention of murdering the emperor.

It's just that the emperor was kind and didn't kill Fu Jiaji's family, but only copied and beheaded related people.

However, among the relevant people, there are quite a few new Jinshi who claim to be from the virtuous king's faction and who were born in Qishan Academy.

Although it didn't mean that the three clans and five clans belonged to each other once they were exterminated like before, dozens of officials were also killed.

And not only that, I heard that King Xian also burned several fake monks who tried to slander the emperor as a disaster for the country.

Now, the entire capital is silent like cicadas.

No one dared to say a word of gossip about the virtuous king.

Just when everyone thought that the virtuous king would directly ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor because of the bloodshed.

The virtuous king is gone.

And three days later, Zhao Hao returned to the capital, and together with Gao Xiang Ling Juefeng instead of King Xian, dealt with those who hadn't been dealt with in the capital, and then went south with his personal guards and [-] imperial guards, and went to Hubei at the same time. Road and the direction of Yangzhou.

A few days later, news came back that hundreds of corrupt officials had been beheaded in Yangzhou and Jingzhou.

Now, the capital, which was originally hot, brought a strange coolness instead.

The emperor no longer mentioned the matter of going to escape the summer heat, and went to the court as usual every day, but only said a word, and then directly retreated from the court according to the instructions of the sage king.

Just like that, everyone was worried for half a month, and King Xian appeared on the court in a wheelchair.

Then he told the emperor that he was going to ask for leave for three months.

Recuperate.

Then, it disappeared again.

It's just that the old matriarch said in private, what the queen mother said, the emperor would send someone to send the memorial to the virtuous king every day, and those who didn't even read it themselves would send it to the virtuous king.

When the queen mother said this, she had some small complaints.

The old matriarch Rong sighed at that time, the queen mother really didn't understand the truth, and the current situation can be understood by a discerning person. The reason why the emperor is still the emperor is because the virtuous king is benevolent and righteous, and the emperor is still sitting in this position.

Otherwise, the King Xian would have to dispatch the troops from the five cities, Ma Si and the imperial guards, as well as the speed of the fourth battalion of the Marquis of Huaining, plus the speed of Zhao Hao returning from the border.

There is also the ability and power to stabilize the court in just a few days.

Even if your emperor died on Mount Qi, he might be branded a subjugated king by those monks.

Although the virtuous king did not appear in the capital, the people in the capital gradually realized that the virtuous king was actually presiding over the government.

In the past three months, there have been great changes in the court. Yun Shangshu handed in his resignation after the King Xian returned to Beijing, saying that he was not capable enough and wanted to go home and continue to study. In this resignation letter, he did not appoint a new Minister of the Ministry of Officials, but temporarily replaced this position himself, and then began to make drastic changes.

The wise king employs people regardless of your previous faction, but is assessed by ability.

I don't know how the virtuous king did it, but he seemed to have a plan for thousands of officials in the capital.

Those who eat, drink, and earn money are dismissed from their positions even if no major crimes are found.

However, some officials who have worked solidly at the grassroots level for many years and have no hope of being promoted have been promoted a lot.

Rong Rong didn't pay much attention to all these things, and occasionally listening to Shizi Qin's talk was like a passing wind.

She was worried about Su Yue.

Su Yue never showed up.

When Qin Shizi saw King Kang and Concubine Xian, apart from asking his most confidant guard to bring the letter back and only told her and Mrs. Rong, he told King Xian himself.

No one knows how Princess Xian, who went to Qishan with the emperor, suddenly disappeared.

This made some thoughts pop up again in the capital city where the bloody turmoil seemed to have faded away after the Mid-Autumn Festival in August.

But at this time, the Niu family hastily married the second girl Niu, and Ling Juefeng also betrothed his sister.

So, the people in the capital couldn't understand it again.

Until two days ago, someone from Prince Xian's Mansion sent her a letter, saying that Su Yue was in the village on the outskirts of Beijing, inviting her and Miss An Qi to play there.

Then, the man said with a smile that the only reason why the princess lived in the villa was to accompany the prince to heal his wounds, and to raise the baby.

Concubine Xian is already more than four months pregnant.

Pregnant!
Almost without thinking, she asked someone to set up a car and wanted to go to the villa with that person immediately to have a look.

But the man smiled and said, it's better to wait for two days, Madam Qin will make an appointment with Miss An Qi.

However, they rushed over quickly and came here by car early in the morning.

When I got here, I was blocked in this courtyard.

"My lord..." Bai Lu just said, when Xie Jue's voice came from the backyard: "Yue'er, walk slowly!"

Rong Rong stood up from the stone bench at once, and walked towards the courtyard gate with Miss An Qi, leaning forward a little, looking through the courtyard gate.

On the promenade in the backyard, she was wearing a bright yellow shirt, her belly was protruding, her hair was loosely pulled up, she didn't wear any jewelry, her face was covered with small pimples, her face was very smelly, and her temper was very bad. The older Su Yue walked over with the support of Xie Jue, who carefully bent over and hunched over with a tense and doting face.

While walking, he said, "It's because you are not in good health, and it's not that I am in poor health, so why can't I go out to play!"

"Yes, yes, it's for your husband." Xie Jue followed carefully and said repeatedly: "Go this way."

"Hey, the concubine is pregnant with triplets, so her temper has become a little irritable and weird. It's not easy for the prince." Hearing someone beside her say this in a gloating tone, Rong Rong looked back unconsciously.

Kong Miao raised his eyebrows at her and said, "Madam Qin, don't worry, if you also have this symptom, feel free to find the old man, now the old man has a lot of experience."

The corners of Rong Rong's eyes twitched, she stood up straight, and walked towards the backyard.

Su Yue was glaring at Xie Jue, and when she turned her head and saw Rong Rong, she immediately became happy, and said loudly, "Rong Rong! Ah! An Qi! Why are you here? Come quickly! Let's pick the sweet-scented osmanthus in the back!"

Xie Jue hurriedly hugged her halfway, winked at Rong Rong, and said softly, "I'm going to pick the sweet-scented osmanthus for my husband, and Yue'er has guests, so I can go talk to them first."

Rong Rong paused and said with a quick smile, "Yes, Sister Yue, let's talk."

Seeing Su Yue walking towards the flower hall in the backyard with Rong Rong An Qi smiling all over her face, Xie Jue stopped and let out a light breath.

"Don't worry, my lord. Although my lord has a weird temper, she is still lively." Kong Miao stood beside Xie Jue and said with a chuckle, "Compared to the depressed mood and constant nightmares before, it's much better. Don't worry, after the baby is born, she won't care about him anymore."

Don't care about it...

Xie Jue smiled wryly.

With her temperament, how could she forget...

However, compared to the beginning, it is much better now.

Kong Miao was right, he still had time.

Even if that time was bought by Jun Jiuyi with his own life, it is him who will make this time joyful and abundant.

In the future, one day, one hour, one moment, one minute.

He will never leave Yue'er again!

With the total death!

***
In February of the following year of the Qishan incident, Princess Xian gave birth to three sons.

In May, the emperor Zen and the virtuous king.

The virtuous king ascended the throne as Emperor Zhaode.

On the same day, Su Yue was granted the queen title.

After 35 years of reign, agriculture and commerce prospered, hundreds of industries prospered, a hundred schools of thought contended, the country became rich and the people strong. At the same time, the Great Song Dynasty drove Bei Rong into an extremely cold place, merged half of Bei Rong's land into its territory, and let Xixia automatically surrender. , into the territory of the Song Dynasty, surrendered from all over the world, and came to court from all directions, this is the prosperous age of Zhaode!

However, apart from these great achievements, what the people talk about the most is another grand feat of Emperor Zhaode, that is, he has only one queen, Su Yue, in his life, and there are no other female relatives in the harem, and he never hires new eunuchs.

And every two years, he will personally accompany the empress and take the emperor to Fujian to make tea. Of course, in the history books, this is called inspection of people's sentiments.

Whether it's official history or folk tales, there are many stories about the love and harmony of the emperor and empress, which have been spread continuously since then.
