Chastity Layman

  Chapter 1042 Eliminate future troubles

  One moment the sky was still clear, but the next moment it was already full of dark clouds.

  The black pressure hangs low, and the gloomy breath makes people flustered.

   Li Shimin stood in front of the empty hall with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky with a cold expression, without changing his posture for a long time.

  The people in the eunuch's palace, who were oppressed by the emperor's power, stood far away, all concentrated and calm, not daring to lift their heads.

   After a long time, Xu Luoren, General Zuo Yulin and Commander of Baiqi Division, arrived.

   "Your Majesty."

  The emperor didn't turn his head back, and continued to look at the sky with a cold face, and asked coldly, "Where's the person?"

   "I dare not disturb Shengjia, so I have given a three-foot white silk in the side hall."

   "Two?"

   "Pei Zhaoxun committed suicide by hanging from a beam, and Hou Liangdi committed suicide by drinking gold shavings wine. Both were reexamined and confirmed dead."

  The emperor sighed, "One more."

  Xu Luoren was stunned.

   "Doctor Li's biological mother, Mrs. Zheng."

Xu Luoren was secretly startled, today's errand really made him nervous, although he was the fourth elder of the Mo family and had always been the emperor's confidant, but today's errand really made him uneasy, after all, he killed the prince and two concubines in one day, even though he was a saint If the will of the Crown Prince succeeds in the future, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to confess.

   Unexpectedly, the emperor killed two of them were not enough, but also killed Zheng Shi. Pei Zhaoxun, who was killed earlier, was the birth mother of the newly crowned emperor Qin Wang Li Xiang, and Hou Liangdi was the daughter of Hou Junji and the birth mother of Li Jue, the king of Dunhuang County. Now the emperor will not let go of Zheng Shi, the birth mother of Li Yi, the third son of the crown prince. up.

   "Saint, the Zheng family is the niece of Li Anyan's wife, the daughter of the Zheng family in Xingyang." Xu Luoren reminded the emperor in a low voice.

   "I know, I also knew that this Zheng family was also a restless woman in the East Palace. Now that the two witches of Pei Hou are gone, Zheng family cannot be left alone, otherwise it will become a disaster and get rid of them together."

Li Anyan is now General You Yulin, who was originally Zuo Tunwei Zhonglang General. Earlier, it was the palace built by Prince Yin. Because he married Jian Jiancheng's daughter of Zheng's family in Xingyang at the beginning, he was brother-in-law, so he won Jian Jiancheng's trust. The day of Xuanwumen , and fought fiercely. Later, after Li Shimin succeeded, he ignored Jiancheng Yuanji's party members and still reused them. Li Anyan, who was born in the son-in-law of the Zheng family in Xingyang, and Li Anyan from the Li family in Zhaojun, was especially attracted by Li Shimin. He also made an exception and reused him, and still let him stay as the guard at the Xuanwu Gate.

  In recent years, Li Anyan and Chengqian have gotten closer. After Hou Junji married his daughter to the prince, Li Anyan also took the initiative to send his wife and niece Zheng to the East Palace, both of whom are five-rank Zhaoxun.

  The Pei family gave birth to the eldest son Li Xiang for Chengqian, the Hou family gave birth to the second son Li Jue in the service of the Supreme Emperor, and now the Zheng family gave birth to the third son Li Yi in the service of Empress Wende.

  The emperor looked back at Xu Luoren, with a resolute killing intent flashing in his eyes.

  Now that the decision on Chengqian has been made, the next step is to cut through the mess quickly and remove all obstacles. The Pei family and the Hou family cannot stay, and neither can the Zheng family.

   "You go and give Zheng Shi Ye a glass of golden wine, immediately."

   "Afterwards, bring Doctor Li to my side. Li Xiang, Li Jue and Li Doctor are the three brothers, and I will personally raise them together with King Jin and Princess Jinyang."

   "Confer Dr. Li the King of Zhongshan..."

  ·······

  Dingdingmen Street Guande Square, Zheng's house.

  A servant in the palace suddenly arrives and reads out the imperial decree.

  Re-appointed as the Duke of Peiguo, he became the governor of Yizhou, and bestowed three hundred pieces of colored silk.

Zheng Yuanxuan, who has been at home for three years and has been idle for three years, was a little surprised to receive this decree. Since the change of Xuanwu Gate in the ninth year of Wude, the Zheng family in Xingyang has been hit hard, and their status is not as good as before. After Zheng Shanguo, Duke of Xingyang County, died in depression three years in Zhenguan, the Zheng family became weaker and weaker, especially with no successors. There was no one among the younger generation who could take the lead.

Zheng Yuanxuan entered the Turks five times, and he also made great achievements in the Tang Dynasty, but because he fully supported the Eastern Palace back then, he was still targeted and suppressed all these years. They are all descended from the great clan, and even sent a daughter to the East Palace early, but they are far inferior to the Cui family of Boling.

   Zheng Yuanxuan’s previous position was General Zuo Wuhou, but he was already a vacant title and did not receive a post. Later, he was found to have a reason to take away this vacant title, and even the Duke of the country was also cut off, and he was at home.

  Three years in a flash.

  Zheng Yuanxuan leaned on a cane and gestured with his eyes, and his son immediately fetched two gold collars, but the servant immediately shook his hands and refused, refusing to accept them at all.

   "One more thing."

"Donggong Zheng Zhaoxun was weak after giving birth and got puerperal fever, and the imperial doctor was unable to recover. He just left, and the saint was very sorry to hear about it. Please mourn. The saint has decreed to posthumously confer Zheng Zhaoxun the crown prince Liangdi, and confer the title of Li Yiwei to the son. Zhongshan King..."

   Zheng Yuanxuan only felt dizzy, and said that it was strange that the re-seal came, so it was this.

   Mrs. Zheng is his own granddaughter. His wife, daughter-in-law, and daughter just entered the East Palace yesterday to see her granddaughter. She is very good during confinement and can feed Dr. Li by herself. Compared with Saburo, who was very thin when she was born, and was awarded a famous doctor because she almost failed to save her life, her granddaughter has been in a good condition and can go to the farm early.

  It was fine yesterday, but today the heat-producing mattress is gone?

  Although the heat-producing mattress is a terrible postpartum disease, it is easy to get rid of it once you get it, but even so, unfortunately, it takes a few days for the fever to go away.

  Zheng Yuanxuan had been leaning on crutches for a long time before he regained his composure. Looking at the emperor's reward, he couldn't understand it.

   This is in exchange for the life of my granddaughter.

  It's like when Thirteen Niang died suddenly in the palace, and then Thirteen Niang's father was promoted to rank.

   Zheng Yuanxuan proposed to see his granddaughter for the last time, but was rejected. He also proposed to take his granddaughter back to the Zheng family for burial, but that was not allowed.

  Since you have entered the royal family, you are the royal family in life, and you are the royal ghost in death.

   "Pei Gong, the sage is blessed with great grace. Now that you are appointed as the governor of Yizhou, I hope that you will be able to leave immediately after receiving the order. Don't delay."

  Yizhou is in the remote areas of Lingnan and Guangnan Xidao.

  The emperor is driving him out of Beijing.

What's even more exasperating is that the granddaughter's death was unknown, but the child was immediately adopted under the name of the Crown Princess Su, and will be raised by the emperor himself. It has nothing to do with the granddaughter, and has nothing to do with the Zheng family. up.

  ······

  Eastern Palace.

   Chengqian was running, and it was inconvenient to limp on one leg, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted. At first, that leg was numb, and he couldn't walk without crutches. If he walked too fast, he would fall down. But after exercising persistently during this period, I have gradually been able to walk without crutches. Although I still limp, at least I can walk by myself.

   "Your Highness!"

  Helan Chushi came in.

   brought a very bad news.

  The third concubine Pei Hou and Zheng died suddenly on the same day.

   And he died suddenly when he received the order to go to Shangyang Palace to pay his respects.

"The sage has already put the three grandsons into Shangyang Palace, and said that he will stay with him in the future to raise him personally with King Jin and Princess Jinyang. Moreover, the three grandsons have now been adopted under the name of Princess Su. , are all the grandsons of the emperor, and Sanlang was just added as King of Zhongshan..."

  Helan Chushi said while staring at the prince's expression, thinking that it would be a storm, and always be careful, but Chengqian was still running at a moderate pace.

   "Your Highness?"

"knew."

This calm reply surprised Helan Chushi. The three daughters of Pei Hou and Zheng were the three most beloved concubines of the prince. They also gave birth to sons for the prince.

   "Your Highness, this is not an easy matter."

   "You don't need to say it, everyone understands." Cheng Qian continued to run, with no expression on his face, which was completely different from the Prince Highness when he just returned to Luoyang from Longyou, as if he had changed completely.

  The previous prince was like a ball of fire, but the current prince is like a piece of ice.

  Helan Chushi followed him for a long time, "Zheng Yuanxuan was reinstated as the Duke of Peiguo, and he was restored as the governor of Yizhou. The sage ordered him to leave Beijing immediately to take up his post."

  Cheng Qian continued to run without expression.

   "Hou Chengong is still detained in the prison of Dali Temple, and there is still no result."

   Chengqian continued running without making a sound.

  He Lan Chushi is in a hurry, Hou Zhaoxun is his sister-in-law who is now dead and cannot be resurrected, but Hou Junji is his father-in-law who is still in prison.

   "Your Highness, we must help rescue Hou Chengong."

  Chengqian ran another lap, finally stopped, limped to the corridor, picked up a towel to wipe his sweat, and took tea to rinse his mouth.

  He stood on the porch and continued to move his body.

   "Your Highness?"

   "Hou Jun will take the blame for himself." Chengqian only replied coldly, which made Helan Chushi dumbfounded.

   "Your Highness!"

   "The matter of Hou Junji is handled by the saint himself. Don't mention this person in front of Gu again. You go to Duke Wei's mansion to ask Duke Wei to come to the East Palace on behalf of Gu. Gu has some things to discuss with Duke Wei."

  Helan Chushi felt that Chengqian was very strange, not the person he knew at all.

  He stood there in a daze for a while, then turned and left.

   Walking to the door, Chengqian stopped him behind him.

"Wait a moment,"

   "King Wei?"

   "Your Highness, the King of Wei has officially left the country of Beijing this morning, and has gone to the Governor's Mansion of Xining Prefecture in Jiannan."

  It took a long time for Li Tai to let out a cry.

   "Is it finally gone?" Seems to be talking to himself.

"The clan princes and county kings who have reached the age of twelve in Beijing have all been ordered to leave the capital to become feudal vassals, and none of them will stay. Because the king of Jin is still young, he has not yet performed the coronation ceremony and stayed in the capital temporarily. Except for the king of Jin, there are saints The decree remains in the palace to raise them personally, and the rest of the princes who are still in Beijing will leave the palace and live outside the palace when they become queens at the age of seven. "··" Helan Chushi said.

   Chengqian waved his hand at him, "I know."

   After speaking, Chengqian dropped the towel in his hand and picked up a longbow.

Winding up, taking out the arrow, facing the target a hundred paces away, taking a deep breath, and slowly stretching the bowstring, the muscles of the prince's shoulders, arms and back stretched little by little, and Cheng Qian squinted at the distant The target, and finally draw the bow and shoot the long arrow.

   Huh, dole.

  The long arrow was unbiased, and it hit the bulls-eye of the target a hundred paces away.
