son-in-law

Chapter 1010 Explosion in South City
A group of men and horses came out of Jianchun Gate to protect a luxurious carriage and headed east.

The riders are all in heavy armor, and there are long weapons hanging on the saddle bridge, but from the costumes, they are obviously two groups, one is the king of Qin with black robes and black armor, and the other is the Duke of Chu with blue robes and black armor. .

It is rare for two groups of people who are not side by side to work together.

The person sitting in the carriage was a thin scholar.

Usually the scholar dresses plainly, but today he is wearing the silver robe "gifted" to him by King Qin, which looks very high-end.

In fact, it was not given to him by King Qin, but he snatched it from the servant girl.

I don't know where the handsome butler Tang Cui got so many good clothes. She took three maids with her, and each maid was holding a stack, ready to take it out and throw it away.Xu Luochen bumped into him and said, it's a pity to throw away such good clothes, sister Cui might as well just throw them to me.So he grabbed the clothes and ran away.Tang Cui chased after him, calling out to tell him that the clothes were unlucky, but he turned a deaf ear and ran faster.

"How far is it to the cemetery?" Xu Luochen opened the curtain and asked the driver.

The coachman said: "At this speed, we will arrive in half an hour."

Xu Luochen raised his head and looked towards the southeast, with anticipation in his eyes.

Chinese people pay attention to returning fallen leaves to their roots, and they are buried in ancestral graves after death.However, there are rules for entering the ancestral graves. For example, the Ximen family does not allow people who "died violently" to enter the ancestral graves.Therefore, the tomb of Ximen Xianghe, the twelve sons, was located in Mi County, southeast of Luoyang, instead of the ancestral tomb of Ximen's family in Huainan.

For more than 100 years, many Ximen family members died unexpectedly, and they were all buried in Mi County Cemetery.Relying on the strong financial resources of the Ximen family, it is natural to build this mausoleum tall and solemn, and set up mausoleum guards.

Most of the guardians of the tomb are some old people in the family, who are still in good health, and they are here to give full play to their spare heat.Of course, there are also young people, such as Ximen Luoxue who was forcibly left in the cemetery by his mother, Gongsun E, to guard the spirit of the twelve sons.

Although Miss Jiu was so abused by her mother, she still insisted on only marrying Xu Luochen, and Xu Luochen did not marry Miss Jiu.Every time Gongsun E made things difficult, he still couldn't break up the pair of mandarin ducks, and it is said that he was also very angry.

In this platonic love, the old villain was very difficult to deal with.In the past, Su Yu couldn't help Xu Luochen, after all, Gongsun E was the wife of the eldest son of the Ximen family, and when dealing with her, he had to consider the face of the Ximen family.But now, when King Qin turned his attention to the powerful, the situation changed.

King Qin prepared a golden crown and asked Ximen Wanting to take it back to her natal home, and gave it to her brother Chu Guogong Ximen Zhensen, and at the same time chatted about Xu Luochen's marriage.Ximen Wanting told her brother what happened between Xu Luochen and Ximen Luoxue in the past few years, and said that King Qin was willing to be a matchmaker.Ximen Zhensen said, what a pair of mandarin ducks in adversity, so let them be fulfilled.

With just a word from the Duke, the marriage is settled.

It is said that Gongsun E once went to Ximen Zhensen to make a theory, and I don't know what Ximen Zhensen said, so the old crocodile left the Duke's mansion in despair, and never asked about it.

Ximen's cemetery is surrounded by mountains and rivers, a typical Shamaoshan cemetery.

Going to the depths of the cemetery, there is a mourning hall next to a large mound one foot high. The woman in white has been guarding the grave of the twelve uncles alone for nearly two years.

Suddenly hearing the ringing of the horse bell, the woman in white opened the gauze curtain and looked out, and saw twenty riders guarding a luxurious carriage, which was parked in front of the mourning hall.

The curtain of the car moved, and a young man walked out from inside.The man was very thin and was wearing a red satin robe.

Ximen Luoxue exclaimed, "Xu Lang!"

Seeing Ximen Luoxue, Xu Luochen jumped out of the carriage, wept loudly, and ran towards his Ninth Miss...

……

In the morning, King Qin was very busy, and his words were all about state affairs.With a flick of a pen, the promotion, transfer, and dismissal of senior officials of the third and fourth ranks are completed; or with a flick of the pen, it is a life.

At this time, some miscellaneous and trivial matters were blocked by Secretary Lang.

For example, the little housekeeper Tang Cui came to report that Xu Luochen snatched away the clothes that Wang Yerang lost.

Of course, this kind of life matter must be reported to Lin Juan, Wang Dian's life secretary.Lin Juan thought that such a trivial matter could not be brought to the palace, so she waited until King Qin was about to leave before whispering.

Su Yu raised his eyebrows.

Good high-end clothes, why throw them away?

Because last night, an old eunuch from Kang Wang's mansion went to King Geng Zhao Zhun to surrender.After being pardoned, he said that there was a secret basement in King Kang's mansion, and he didn't know if the mob found out when the house was ransacked.

Then Zhao Zhun sent people to investigate, and the secret room was really too hidden, if it wasn't for the guidance of the old eunuch, he would have missed it.

But when I opened the secret room, I was a little disappointed. I didn't find much gold and silver. Apart from paintings and calligraphy, there were also several boxes of clothes worn by King Kang when he was young.There was also a small wooden box. The wooden box was locked. Without a key, I forcibly pried it open. When I opened it, it turned out to be some letters.

Zhao Zhun ordered people to package these things and send them to the Qin Palace.

Su Yu opened it and took a look, but didn't find any valuables, most of them were calligraphy and paintings.One of the paintings is Kang Wang Zhao Di holding a little boy. The little boy has the same thin face as Zhao Di, but the boy's eyes are not as big as Kang Wang's, and for some reason, the child looks poor, even Somewhat obscene.

Putting down the calligraphy and painting, opened the wooden box again, and saw a box full of letters.

The King of Qin was curious, so he drew the letter and read it quickly.

It turned out to be a lot of love letters.

If you look around casually, you will see several famous wives today.

Who would dare to believe that Han Yaoniang, Princess of Chu State, wrote a love letter to King Kang before leaving the cabinet.

As if finding a treasure, Su Yu hid the box of letters.Then Su Yu went to Prince Geng's Mansion and asked Zhao Zhun, have you read the letter?Zhao Zhun said that he had seen it.Su Yu said, has it been made public?Zhao Zhun said, no.Su Yu said, it must be kept secret, maybe it will be useful.Zhao Zhun said that he has considered that his younger brother will use it, so he didn't make it public.

Feeling a tacit understanding, Su Yu was very satisfied.

As for those clothes, they were personal belongings left by the dead, and Tang Cui felt that it was unlucky, so she asked Tang Cui to take them out and throw them away.In the end, it was snatched away by Xu Luochen.

To say that Xu Luochen and Zhao Di's figure are quite similar, he wears Zhao Di's clothes when he was young, which is quite suitable.When King Qin sent a car to take him to the cemetery to pick up Miss Jiu, he put on those clothes.

But when Su Yu knew about this, Xu Luochen had already left the city.

"Just take it away, just tell him later."

The king of Qin didn't pay much attention to such trivial matters, so he walked out with his hands behind his back. At this time, he saw Wu Shajin running in a hurry and reported: "The mansion of Xian Wang sent someone to say that Zhao Feng, the king of Wan'an County, died, and the messenger asked to see the king of Qin."

The king of Qin was shocked, and hurriedly asked the messenger to come in and asked how did he die?

The messenger is the eunuch Sun of the Xianwangfu.Eunuch Sun said that when Zhao Feng went to Nanshi to give a speech, a person suddenly appeared from the crowd of onlookers.

Su Yu was puzzled and asked: "It's very good, what is he doing in Nanshi?"

Eunuch Sun cried: "The young master said that he didn't make much contribution to the decisive battle with King Kang this time. He was just inferior to a Zhonglang general under King Qin. But afterwards, he got the same reward as King Qin. It's really shocking." He was ashamed. He also said that since he failed to make a contribution in advance, he should make up for it afterwards. Now he is liquidating the remnants of King Kang, and he felt that Concubine Liang's lecture tour in the three cities had a very good effect, so he imitated Concubine Liang to go The three cities gave a lecture, and the result...hey, that’s how it turned out.”

Su Yu was speechless for a while, thinking: Zhao Feng is really a good boy, he has a sense of honor and a sense of shame, but he died on this.

In fact, he has no need to be ashamed at all, because his existence is originally the result of the balance of power.He is not representing himself, but the Xianwang family.Even if you are not recommended, there will be other princes and grandchildren who will receive this reward.As for Zhao Feng, he was already the best-looking among the many kings and grandchildren.

To say that Mr. Xianwang is also unlucky, how many successors he established successively.The eldest son Zhao Duo, the third son Zhao Gang, and the fourth son Zhao Qiang died one after another.

The second son, Zhao Ding, is a disabled person with a soft personality and can't lead soldiers; the concubine's son, Zhao Qi, failed to become a talent, and ran away insane.The son had no choice but to die, and the grandson began to die again.Just last year, one died in Hedong Shoucheng, and Zhao Feng died again this year.

Poor Zhao Feng, just a few days after he was crowned king of Wan'an County, his soul just returned to the west...

"Oh, let's go and see the old man."

Su Yu sighed, got on the king's chariot, and went to the funeral of King Xian.

……

How the palace handles the funeral and how the crowd mourns, I won't go into details here.

The virtuous king still has to consider the issue of heirs.

There are also seven grandsons in the mansion. The old man chooses and chooses, and finally chooses Zhao Yuan (Zhao Qiang's son), the commander of the right leopard cavalry, as the commander of the Sixth Division.But Zhao Yuan and his father, Zhao Qiang, are of the same virtue. He looks big and thick, has a big beard, has a reckless and violent personality, and tends to get hot-headed.

Letting him lead the right leopard cavalry, the virtuous king was a little worried, but now that he was asked to lead six divisions, and half of the Jinwu guard and the left Yulin guard, he was even more worried.

So the virtuous king chose an aide to follow Zhao Yuan, and ordered Zhao Yuan to discuss with the aide first.And this staff member is Xue Ren, an old man who is nearly sixty years old.It is worth mentioning that Xue Ren is actually the eldest son-in-law of King Xian.But the eldest daughter was born to a maid, so her status is not high.

King Xian impregnated his maidservant when he was 14 years old, so the eldest daughter is 58 years old this year.

"Did the assassin confess? Who ordered him?"

"Going back to my father-in-law, no one instructed him, he wanted to do this by himself. He was originally the personal guard of King Kang's mansion. Seeing Concubine Liang insulting King Kang openly, he couldn't bear the hatred in his heart, so he made explosives to attack the princess. But recently Concubine Liang didn't come out to give a speech, but met His Royal Highness giving a speech, so..."
