Chapter 237
After a while, Brother Haoming came back. As usual, they didn’t come back until evening, but today the Imperial College was also in a mess. Seeing that they couldn’t concentrate on listening to the class, the master dismissed school early. Anyway, they didn’t have time either. Lectures with peace of mind.

When they returned to the house, they also chatted with Yuantai about the outside affairs. Zhuhua listened to them and realized that they heard the sound of fighting at night.

"Aren't you afraid to hear that?" Zhuhua interjected.

"There are guards here. But we have also prepared weapons, so we can protect ourselves if we are in danger." Hao Ming said.

Zhuhua nodded, and asked others. Yuantai actually heard the noise, but Tuantuan thought it was a dream. Yuanyuan and Jiajia didn't hear it at all.Zhuhua thought, since she heard it here, she should be able to hear it in the Prince's Mansion, so she ordered the kitchen to make soothing soup and send it over. After a while, Er Goose and San Goose followed the servants who were going to deliver the soup.

The two and Brother Haoming also know each other now. Brother Haoming knows that they may be the future princesses, so he is quite polite to them. Even if Ergoose challenged him to compete several times, he didn't respond, which made Ergoose feel very boring.

After the two geese and the three geese learned martial arts from Mrs. Yao at Zhuhua's side for a while, the prince simply hired another martial arts master in his mansion to teach them, so that they would not have to get up early in the morning to go to Pingwang's mansion to practice martial arts. It was still cold on the road.The two of them didn't think anything of it, sometimes it would be good to learn from this master in the morning, and then come to learn a few moves from Master Yao at noon, and they could have a meal by the way, even if they come to practice martial arts in the morning, they won't have enough time for dinner.

It's just that the two of them have a lot to learn, and they can't spend too much time learning martial arts.Speaking of what happened last night, the two said that they woke up as soon as they heard the movement, and then went to the big goose's house together, and huddled with her all night.I thought I had to keep my spirits up, if a thief broke in, they might be useful, but who knew that they waited until the outside was quiet, and no thief came in, so they fell asleep while waiting.

"I snickered at the gate in the morning. There was blood all over the floor, which was quite scary." Er Goose said, and San Goose also nodded.

But the two of them didn't see the corpse, so they weren't that scared. In the secluded courtyard of Prince Ping's Mansion, they had seen fake blood and some scary scenes. In comparison, the scene outside the door was not scary at all. .But the two of them still didn't go out, after all, many people just died outside.The prince entered the palace early in the morning. He was stabbed in the hand by an assassin a few days ago, and the injury is still not fully healed.The crown prince and the big goose also followed him into the palace to see Concubine Shu, also to see if Concubine Shu was frightened.

Zhuhua didn't expect this, she didn't even hear about what happened outside until around noon.

"Since they have all gone out, you should be left alone. Do you want to eat here? I saw that it was hot, and I wanted to make cold noodles. Do you want to eat it? If not, we will change it to something else." of."

"Eat." The two said immediately.

After lunch, the two took a lunch break at Prince Ping's Mansion, and stayed there until the big goose and the others came back.

But through this incident, Zhuhua also gave the children a lesson on what to do in an emergency. Whether it was a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, she said something, so that they would not panic when something happened.

Later, King Ping sorted out what she said and recorded it. Zhuhua also asked him to find someone to copy and gave a copy to several family members who were close to him.

King Huo's rebellion is basically a certainty, but it's hard to say about King Qin's part. After all, King Qin didn't even show his face during the conspiracy.The relationship between Huo Wang and Qin Wang was a little stiff when the crown prince was not established a few years ago. Huo Wang always felt that his own brother did not really help him seize the throne, and would hold him back from time to time.He scolded him fiercely in front of his mother and concubine at that time, and thinking about it now, maybe he was not wrong, but at this time, these are not important, and now he only thinks about letting King Qin get away at least.They are brothers after all, and they cannot all die here.

Yu Hou was in charge of the presiding trial of Huo Wang's treason case. He has always remained neutral, impartial and satisfied all parties.Yu Hou thought that the Holy Majesty chose him as the presiding judge, so he intended to let the King of Qin go. Of course, this was just his speculation, and the Holy Majesty is still angry now. Later, I felt that it was not handled properly.

King Huo and King Qin were imprisoned, Concubine Shen Gui in the palace also died, and the Shen family was completely defeated.Within a few days, the case of King Huo had not yet been settled, and someone jumped out to ask the Holy Majesty to make Concubine Shu his queen, but the Holy Majesty took a look at the Prince and did not agree.

However, after returning to the palace, the Holy Admiral appointed Concubine Shu as Concubine Shu and took charge of the harem.In the past, Concubine Shen Gui, as a noble concubine, was the highest among the four concubines in the palace, but the Holy Majesty never gave her all the rights to manage the harem, but let the four concubines manage it together.But now Concubine Shu Gui is in full control of the harem, and the power in her hands is equivalent to that of the queen, and the meaning of it is clear to the outside world.Concubine Shu didn't mind the fact that the Holy Majesty only made her a noble concubine but not a queen. In fact, the four concubines in the palace already knew that the Holy Majesty would not make a queen.

Now her son is the prince, and she is also the head of the four concubines. She doesn't care about the false name of queen.Not long after the Holy Majesty named Concubine Shu, he would also confer the title of Concubine Hui on Lin Meiren who gave birth to the nine sons of the emperor. There are still four concubines in the palace.Concubine Lin Hui was much younger than the other three imperial concubines, she was well-behaved and docile, and was very favored by the Holy One. Someone once said that Concubine Lin Hui resembled the former empress in spirit.

Concubine Shu didn't know who passed on the words, she saw that Concubine Lin Hui didn't have any resemblance to the former empress, so she didn't know who she wanted to pass the words on to.

Concubine Lin Hui's 19-year-old son Chen Wang got married last year, and he married Lin's daughter.Concubine Lin Hui came from a humble background and had no connection with the big Lin family, but when Wang Chen chose the concubine, the Lin family took the initiative to show favor to her and wanted to get closer to her.She also wanted to find a reliable natal family, so she agreed to this marriage.Now Concubine Chen is also five months pregnant, and others say that her belly is so sharp that it might be a boy.As long as she thinks that Chen Wang can give birth to a son immediately, she will feel a little proud.No matter how high the status of Concubine Shu is, but she has no grandsons, maybe the throne will have to be passed on to others in the future.

This is also the place that Concubine Shugui can't get past. The concubine Chu Wang also gave birth to a son in June. If even King Chen gave birth to a son, wouldn't there be only princes left among the princes?
The ministers in the court were also worried about this matter, but Uncle Zhang was determined that it was a good thing for the Zhang family that the crown prince would not have an offspring. In the future, this position might have to be handed over to the descendants of the former crown prince.A few days ago, the prince was assassinated and injured. There was an imperial doctor who went to treat the prince's wounds. Uncle Zhang Guo asked the imperial doctor privately. Knowing that the prince might not be able to stay, he was more willing to help him ascend the throne.

In fact, the prince has had nothing to do in the backyard these years. Some people have long suspected that the prince has some unmentionable illness, but some people in the prince's mansion say that it is because the prince misses the former concubine who passed away, so he doesn't often live in the concubine's house. That's why.

Many people know the crown prince's feelings for the former crown princess, and this explanation makes sense. If the crown prince just doesn't want to go to the current crown prince's concubine's side concubine's room, others will think it is a good thing. If there is a chance to add a son to the crown prince, or even replace the current crown princess Jia, some people have even secretly searched for a woman who looks like the former crown princess.

After more than a month, the result of King Huo's case came out.King Huo's family was sentenced to death, those close to him in the mansion were executed with sticks, and other people were sold and could never enter Beijing; King Qin's family was exiled in Lingnan, and all the servants in the mansion sold them; the rest of the criminals were severely punished.

Because it was still June, the criminals who deserved to be executed were locked in the death row and waited to be executed after the autumn. Some people couldn't stand it and committed suicide in the dirty and smelly prison. It's less than half, and they will eventually face death.As for those sold, they stand under the scorching sun every day for people to choose, and there is nothing embarrassing about it now, I just hope that someone will buy them earlier, they don’t want to stand in the hot place that can melt them under the sun.It's just that officials in central Beijing rarely buy criminal slaves, for fear of getting into trouble, and they may not be able to live a decent life like before.Even so, they still look forward to being alive, and it is better to be alive than to be dead.

Zhuhua was fortunate that the street where Prince Ping's Mansion was located was far away from the place where officials and slaves were sold, and Zhuhua would not pass by there when she went out.She thought that because of one person's fault, the whole family would be punished, which was a bit unreasonable.But she will not stand up and say that this is wrong, and it is impossible to think of a way for them. She is an ordinary person, and she has to adapt to this era.

Because of this incident, the family did not go to the countryside this year to escape the summer heat. Many families in the capital were like this. Everyone seemed to be worried about the new situation and what would happen if they left Chang'an.Fortunately, everyone was paying too much attention to the political situation, but no one knew that the remaining concubine Wei Ba Niang in Prince Ping's mansion was gone. She left Chang'an with her lover who entered Beijing this year for the exam.

Her lover still failed the exam this year. Knowing that Wei Ba Niang became Ping Wang's concubine, life was not good, so he often wandered outside Ping Wang's mansion, and it was Wei Ba Niang who was next to Wei Ba Niang when he went shopping in the street and met him. I knew he was here.

Izumo knew what his young lady was thinking, so he told Ba Niang Wei about it when he returned home, and also said that he still failed the exam.Wei Ba Niang actually didn't mind this at all, she asked Izumo to send a letter, met with her lover in private, and made sure that his lover didn't mind her identity and was infatuated with her, so she went to beg Zhuhua.Zhuhua took advantage of the assassination of the prince and everyone in Chang'an City was only focused on discussing who would assassinate the prince, released her from the mansion, and gave her a silver tael so that she could settle outside.

Later, King Huo rebelled and implicated many families in Chang'an City. Every day, she could always hear the news that the married daughter of the family who had been involved with the Shen family died again. She took the opportunity to tell the story of Wei Ba Niang's death outside. , did not arouse the curiosity of others.They all stared at the families who had been close to the Shen family before, wondering how many people would be unlucky.

In such a season, some literati continued to drink and have fun as if they had never felt the slightly tense atmosphere.The flower boats on the river are brightly lit, and the melodious sound of silk and bamboo will not dissipate until the sky is twilight. The remaining smell of wine fascinates the fish in the lake and makes the rising sun shake the figure on the lake.

In the cabin, Bai Yizhi woke up leisurely with his pillow on the beautiful woman's lap. He walked out of the cabin and stretched. Seeing that there was still a full glass of wine on the cold table beside him, he smiled and picked it up and put it away. After smelling it under the nose, he turned his head and poured it into the lake, as a sacrifice to those who were implicated for no reason in the accident in Chang'an.There are his friends and women who went to Wushan with him. How many of these people know that King Huo will plot against him one day.

After the people on the boat gradually woke up and the boat docked, Bai Yi got off the boat and said goodbye to his friends before boarding the carriage home.Back at the house, Jiang Erniang greeted him at the door with the child in her arms.This child was born to a woman who disguised herself as a man and went to the Hanlin Academy. She died of dystocia during childbirth. Now Erniang Jiang is raising this child.He teased the child a few words, then went back to the house and changed his clothes, and went out of the mansion to go on duty under the eyes of the two of them.As promised, he will have a good sleep in his own room in the Hanlin Academy, and when he wakes up, he has a new appointment to attend.

Although the Holy Majesty liked his works, he never paid much attention to his strategies for governing the country. Even when the crown prince saw him, he only praised his poems "the best in the world", but never said his talents.There are other people who have praised him, but he doesn't bother to be with him because of his kindness.Now that the Kang Dynasty is becoming more and more prosperous, there are many talents in Chang'an City, and there are many foreigners who discuss with scholars with their different ways of thinking from the Han people. He can stand out among these people because of his poetic talent, but it is not him to drink and sing every day. The only wish in my life.

He has always been a person who does whatever he thinks of. He didn't go to the banquet that day, but went to the mansion of Duke Wu.Seeing that he hadn't come for a long time, the people in the mansion received him very warmly. Mrs. Wu Ying was drinking happily, and when they saw him coming, they asked someone to serve him wine. After drinking three wines in a row, he sat down in front of Mrs. Wu .

"I want to leave Chang'an."

When Wu Guogong heard this, she lowered her eyes to the wine in the glass and asked, "Would you return it?"

"Of course I have to go back."

"Then be careful on the road, don't bring too many romantic debts back." Wu Yinggong jokingly said.

"It's hard to say." Bai Yizhi smiled, pleaded guilty, and went downstairs to drink with other old friends.

After drinking in the middle of the night, he staggered into the carriage. When the carriage returned to the door of the house, he saw that he did not get out of the carriage at the door, but took the driver's whip and drove him off. He turned around and drove away.His book boy saw that he was wrong, so he chased him out, and finally let him catch up.If he hadn't thought of asking someone to go home to deliver the letter, Erniang Jiang who was waiting for him at home would not have known that he had left Chang'an.
