One Curtain Wind Moon Nine Heavens

Chapter 298

At the end of the first lunar month of the third year of Yongchang, the former Grand Tutor Zhao Chonggong was so arrogant that he had no family, and murdered many ministers in the court due to personal grievances.Disturbing the imperial court is a heinous crime from which there is no escape.Thinking of his past achievements, he was sentenced to death.

The exile of the three clans in a place of bitter cold, if not for past achievements, would be the fate of punishing the three clans.It can be seen how serious his crimes are and how angry the Holy One is.

On the day when the head was beheaded, Zhao Zhong died of a ruptured liver and gallbladder due to excessive fright.However, he was still dragged to the execution ground and executed together with his family.Before the execution, his family looked up to the sky and cried:
"You are wronged! Your Majesty, we are wronged! God, we are wronged——"

The people are not surprised by this. The court killed many corrupt officials a while ago.Some of the heinous little officials also shouted the same way, and it was not true.

If I knew today, why bother?

After watching the punishment, some of the people gloated, some were suspicious, and some smiled, but said nothing.In the struggle for power, the winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. There is no right or wrong.

As always, no comment.

……

In the first ten days of February, Princess Wancheng will go to the fief Wancheng with her family. In addition to the eldest son-in-law, there are two daughters accompanying her.His eldest son has grown up and stayed in Beijing to accompany his elders. He will serve the court in the future and does not need to accompany him.

"My mother, the attack on the sixth younger sister and the subordinates of the county horse really has nothing to do with me." In the Changfu Palace, Princess Wancheng pitifully begged the Empress Dowager Xia, "Looking at the mercy of my mother, let Chi'er leave with my son! "

Chi'er, her eldest son, the only son of the eldest son-in-law, if he stays alone in the capital, it will be very dangerous.

She took her family to the fief, not as a reward, but as a punishment from His Majesty.She is a princess, and she is surrounded by the emperor in the capital, so she is extremely dignified; but she has no real power in the fiefdom, and those with real power are the county guards, captains and other officials.

They are appointed by the imperial court and have absolute control over the county.Her arrival is only to add a noble family to Wancheng, and it is used to decorate the facade.

When there is nothing to do on weekdays, they may respect and let her go; once something happens, the emperor will be far away, and her eldest princess mansion will be restricted everywhere, unable to use it, and even her life is in danger.

In short, in the fiefdom, she, the eldest princess, is inferior to others, and she needs to spend her time rectifying and establishing her prestige.Even so, it is safer for her son to go to the fief with her than to stay in the capital, because it is the Empress Dowager Xia who let her son stay in the capital.

"Look at you child, what are you talking about?" The Empress Dowager Xia cast a glance at her, slowly tasted the venison and taro soup, and said, "You and your son-in-law's family went to the fief, leaving your mother and concubine alone in the palace. Wuyi. Chi'er is filial, willing to stay in Beijing to accompany your mother and concubine, and to be filial on behalf of your mother.

The child is so sensible, what are you worried about? "

She caused her daughter Le'an to bear the notoriety for many years, and was demoted to the princess.Want to just leave and the whole family will live a peaceful and worry-free life in the fief?It's not that easy!
As the Queen Mother, she understands the reason why her son died in Wancheng.For Feng Wu's reputation, she had to accept this ending.Detaining the other party's son and making the two mothers suffer the pain of parting is her punishment for the eldest princess.

Compared with the dead eighth prince and his wife, Wancheng should be content, and the Empress Dowager Xia indifferently took a sip of clear soup to relieve her tiredness.

……

The pleading was fruitless, and Princess Wancheng left with a sad face and disappointment.After walking out of Changfu Palace, his complexion became extremely ugly in an instant, and he hurried to the palace of his concubine Liang Meiren.

There, it was unavoidable that the mother and concubine would cry and scold her for being so bold as to do stupid things and cause catastrophe.

Princess Wancheng took it one by one, and the departure was imminent. After the mother and concubine had finished reprimanding her, she calmly asked the mother and concubine to take care of her son.She still has a small force in the capital, and secretly keeps an eye on every move in Dongping Lane and the Duke's Mansion.

In a critical moment, the concubine mother and son can go to ask for help...

At the beginning of February, Princess Wancheng set off with her son-in-law and her family.Emperor Yongchang was annoyed by her misbehavior, so he never saw her off, and discussed matters with Fengge in the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, the eldest princess's car has left the inner city, and I have arranged people to go with the team according to your instructions." Fengge said respectfully.

"That's good." Brotherly killing is a tragedy in the world.Emperor Yongchang sighed slightly, and asked sadly, "Is Ah Zhao feeling better recently?"

"It's much better," Feng Ge said with a slight smile, "every time Funing took Xiangjun Ningxin to Dongping Lane, with Xiangjun around, Princess Taihe couldn't refuse to let her succeed in entering the house..."

Yuan Zhao woke up at the end of the first month, weak and unable to walk, but according to the doctor's order, she had to come out to bask in the sun every day.I had no choice but to move the wooden wheelchair from the Duke's mansion, and it was pushed out to dry for two quarters of an hour or half an hour every day.

"Wancheng has been refusing to admit the assassination of the Song family..." Emperor Yongchang paused, and asked slowly, "What is the name of the guard next to Ah Zhao?"

"Qinghe." Fengge reported, "She used to be a secret guard, and she was always elusive."

"Could it be her..." Emperor Yongchang hesitated.

"According to my minister and Mr. Lin's repeated inquiries, His Royal Highness Taihe was seriously ill at that time, and he was poisoned, and she was the one who waited on him all the time..."

Perhaps out of guilt, the ineffective protection of the lord caused His Highness to fall ill, so she refused to let other servants in the mansion come near.The medicine sent by the nurse must be tested by herself, and she handles the tiring work of serving the princess to purify herself.

On the night of Master Zhang's death, the guards were taken away to question His Highness's poisoning, and she and the guards sent by the imperial court were left to kill several assassins in Jiyue Pavilion.

During that time, she had no companions in the mansion except Yuan Zhao who was unconscious, so it was impossible for her to have the opportunity to contact someone outside to assassinate Master Zhang.

After hearing this, Emperor Yongchang pondered for a while, "What do you think about the death of my fifth younger brother?"

To be honest, what Princess Wancheng said made some sense.

Perhaps, when Dingyuanhou realized that Liulang's death was caused by a member of the royal family, he knew that the emperor would not deal with his children, so he became murderous... If so, should he punish him?

For a while, Emperor Yongchang was in a state of confusion and restlessness.

"Your Majesty," Feng Ge advised with a careful look, seeing why the emperor was upset at a glance, "I have admired the late emperor's wise and decisive since I was a child. When he suffered the pain of losing his son, he was still sober and sent someone to investigate the real culprit secretly.

For so many years, I have never been able to find out where Anlehou's outlaw is hiding and what he looks like... But the late emperor did not deal with Dingyuanhou, which proved that the case was indeed suspicious.The minister thought that keeping Bei Yueshi would do more good than harm. "

It is impossible to torture An Lehou, but to put him under house arrest and reduce the cost of food, clothing, housing and transportation, so that An Lehou, who is used to enjoying himself, can take the initiative to ask for help when he can't bear it.

Forcing the tiger to jump over the wall will reveal its flaws, if there is really an outsider.

Of course, it would be even better if this "tiger cub" ran to Dongping Lane!Just to see how Yuan Zhao copes, whether he is loyal or not.If she knew about it and didn't report it, whether she should keep Bei Yueshi to see the seriousness of the situation, why bother?

This is called everything is fate, and it is not in the slightest.

No matter how cautious Dongping Lane and the Duke's Mansion are, with An Lehou around, genocide is an inevitable fate.
