pawn wife

Empress Dowager Zheng was annoyed when she saw this unlucky son, and waved her hand to make Emperor Chongde retreat.

Emperor Chongde endured the humiliation, stood up, saluted and retreated. As soon as he retreated outside the door, he saw the commanders of the three major battalions coming. He walked directly into the Queen Mother's bedroom proudly.

Not long after, there was a conversation between the two inside.

"I'm so pissed off. If I had known that I had given birth to such a useless son, I should have strangled him so that he wouldn't get mad at me..."

"Why are you angry with him? If the anger breaks your body, I will feel bad..."

"It's just that you are still trying to coax me. They all blame me for monopolizing power. Who knows my hard work?"

"I don't feel sorry for you. Who do you feel bad about? If that old man hadn't taken over you back then, we would have been married long ago and had several children. My heart for you can be learned from time to time..."

Emperor Chongde clenched his fists tighter the more he heard it. He turned his head and saw through the gap in the curtain that the two people in the palace had already hugged and gnawed each other. The scene became more and more unbearable. Seeing this scene, his eyes were tearing apart, and he blatantly had an affair. Where did the empress do this to their father and son?

Clenching his fists, he finally didn't have the courage to rush in to question his mother, so he could only turn around and leave in embarrassment. He walked hurriedly along the way, and when he saw the palace people saluting to him, he subconsciously thought that these people were laughing at him as a puppet emperor. Even the mother's private meeting with her lover can only be cowardly.

"Get out, get out of here—"

He roared, pulled out the sword on his body, and slashed at the palace people frantically, pouring out all the anger that could not be vented on these innocent palace people.

Immediately frightened, the palace people paled and screamed and ran around. Several palace ladies who ran slower were directly stabbed to death with a sword, and blood flowed all over the ground.

It wasn't until the former seventh concubine found out that the empress arrived, and she, who was also pale, immediately knocked Emperor Chongde unconscious, which prevented him from going crazy, and then cleaned up the mess in this place, but her heart sank to the bottom.

She already knew about Queen Mother Zheng's filth and chaos in the palace. She thought it was useful before, so she kept silent, but now this mother-in-law is not only holding on to power, but also perverting it. She can't be allowed to go on like this, otherwise all the hard work before will all be reduced to ashes.

After settling this useless husband, she immediately sent her father to see her.

Zhu Guogong came very quickly. After all, he had already heard about his son-in-law's madness, so he rushed over as soon as his daughter called.

"Father, I can't bear it any longer. Their mother and son are idiots. Now that the army of the six princes is approaching, and the madness of the former emperor's edict of passing on the throne, Tuoben must have something to do with the eldest grandson. We can't be dragged down by their mother and son. It will be beyond redemption..." When she got nervous, she couldn't help biting her nails.

I thought that becoming an empress would be glorious, but now that she holds a palace banquet, everyone finds excuses to refuse to come, and those who can come are those who can't make it to the stage. What's the point of being an empress?
What's more, Empress Dowager Zheng has been suppressing her. In the past, she hadn't been tortured by her mother-in-law when she lived outside the palace, but now she lives together in the palace, and there must be no one less. Moreover, Empress Dowager Zheng has a twisted heart and likes to torture People are happy, she doesn't want to live this day.

Zhu Guogong hurriedly calmed his daughter's emotions, and now it is impossible to turn back. They have no troops and can only rely on the vital forces of the three battalions to protect them, so they can't act rashly.

The queen looked at her father in disappointment. She felt that she had been deceived by lard before. She was trying to be a shitty queen, and she would be the seventh prince concubine honestly. In the future, her husband will be crowned the throne, and she will be Princess Taiping again. Wouldn't it be better than now? ?

Zhu Guogong asked his daughter to persevere, "Now you have a son by your side, wait for them to guard this country, and then solve the obstacles that stand in the way. When you become the queen mother, everything will be fine."

Gradually there is hope in the queen's eyes, yes, when she becomes the queen mother, it will be no problem to be popular and hot, and she can also learn from the mother-in-law Zheng, who raises a few lovers for fun, with the previous With the carrot hanging, she finally calmed down.

Zhu Guogong did not stay in the palace for a long time. In fact, he is now regretting it. If he had known that Queen Mother Zheng was such a person, he should not have been in this muddy water. .

The empty capital city is like his empty heart. When he returned to the mansion, he couldn't smile when he saw everyone's frowning faces. He didn't want to face his old wife's nagging. He locked himself in the study room until the lights came on, and then he sighed. Pushing open the study door and coming out, he saw a servant rushing in, he frowned and asked displeasedly, "What happened?"

"Grandpa, someone secretly handed this note to the mansion, and I thought it was weird, so I specially brought it to the Duke..."

Zhu Guogong immediately motioned to the chief attendant beside him to bring it to him for a look. When he saw the twelve words "abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and turn to the light to the Lord, is the way to survive" written on it, his expression changed. Who gave it to him? Into the mansion?
He was about to ask about the servant, but when he looked up, there was no sign of the servant?

This time he was very frightened, and immediately sent someone to search out the servant just now, but the search all night was fruitless.

Sitting on the Luohan bed in the study with a tired face, when he saw the twelve words on the spread note, his face became serious. He thought of the old ancestor who followed the Tai\zu to fight the world. When so confused?
The ancestor of his family was so poor that he made a living by selling straw sandals. If he hadn't made up his mind to rebel with Tai\zu, how could he have the glory and wealth behind him?How could their descendants enjoy the glory brought by Zhu Guogong's hereditary and irreplaceable title?

But all of this will fall on his own hands now, just thinking about it makes him feel ashamed to see his ancestors after death.

In the end, he gripped the piece of paper tightly, and quickly made up his mind that he couldn't go all the way to the dark. As for his daughter, she was nothing worth mentioning in front of the family, and as a father, he couldn't care less she is gone.

The fourth prince Zhao Hong, who is similar to Zhu Guogong's mentality of making a difficult decision at this time, is also facing the people Zhao Jin sent to lobby at this time. He did not agree to switch to Zhao Jin's camp. I can still support myself.

After sending him away, when he looked at the rubbings of the posthumous edict, he felt both sad and angry. His father never considered him until his death. At first glance, the posthumous edict was authentic, but when he thought of the aggrieved death of his father, he couldn't help crying. As a son of man, he was not filial.

"Report-"

Hearing the voice of the messenger from outside, he wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and let someone come in to report with a cold face.

"Your Highness, our Eastern Route Army has all been defeated, and the Western Route Army has even fled before the battle. Now I am afraid that we will not be able to defend the city ahead..."

The news came quickly, Zhao Hong jumped up suddenly, the defeat was too fast, compared to General Duan, a fierce general in the army, the group of people he gathered were all scumbags.

At this time, the people under his command hurried in.

"Your Highness, it's not too late. Let's retreat to the south. If it falls into the hands of the sixth prince, I'm afraid there will be no good fruit to eat..."

"Instead of doing this, it's better to directly switch to the camp of the eldest grandson. At least he is orthodox. Your Highness, if we go south, we probably won't get any good results. The food and grass can't last so long..."

Both propositions have their own supporters, and everyone is arguing endlessly.

But Zhao Hong knew in his heart that once his failure was revealed, those big businessmen who supported him began to tighten their wallets. Obviously, they were not optimistic that he could enter the capital and keep the throne. At that time, he really believed in the loyalty of these people. Now that he thought about it, his wife was right when she called him a fool.

When he thought of his wife, he thought of his children, and now they are still in prison. Thinking of this, he felt guilty, that's all, he didn't have the emperor's life after all.

Seeing him raise his hand, everyone stopped arguing and looked at him unanimously.

I saw Zhao Hong said to the servant who was following him, "Go, promise to the person sent by the eldest grandson that the prince is willing to serve the eldest grandson as the master, but there is one condition, that the eldest grandson will rescue my wife and children in the capital , now all I want is the safety of my wife and children.”

If you can't grasp the pulse of the times, then grasp what you have.

Hearing these words, some people immediately thought of retreating, feeling that they had been busy for nothing, and immediately turned around and left. Some people continued to follow Zhao Hong, after all, those who know current affairs are heroes.

The request of the fourth prince was quickly sent to Zhao Jin by Feige. Seeing the request, he did not hesitate, but immediately ordered to his subordinates, "Reply to the fourth prince and say that I have agreed. Then send an order to the capital , start to rescue the fourth concubine and her children, um, rescue the eighth concubine and her children as well."

"Yes." The subordinate immediately took the order and retreated.

When Wei Guangnan and Si Gonggong in Beijing received the news, they put the note on the fire and burned it.

The company has been staying in the capital for secret activities, and did not accompany Zhao Jin to the northwest. He has a network of contacts here, and now with Wei Guangnan, he can try to save the fourth and eighth concubines. So he started discussing with Wei Guangnan.

Wei Guangnan mused, "Our Duke Wei's mansion will fully cooperate with the father-in-law, just let the father-in-law make arrangements."

In this regard, he is not as cunning as his company, so he is willing to be in a position of cooperation, and the goal of Wei Guogong's mansion is too big, he doesn't want his family to rush to the front line, and it's just right to be in the dark now.

"Wei Guogong's mansion doesn't need to be moved. The Zhuguo Guild will take care of this matter. This is the certificate he wants to give us, and then we will be fine." Si Gonggong said coldly, but after getting people out of the imperial prison, the next escape route That's the main event.

Wei Guangnan nodded in agreement with this arrangement, and Youzhu Guogong should naturally get twice the result with half the effort, "After the person is rescued, he will go in two ways. Arrange the double to go northwest to confuse the pursuers. As for the real person, go southeast and go directly to Yiyang."
