Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 921 The farce in the lobby of the Ministry of Punishment! (two)

No matter at what time, if a woman of the generation wants to raise the older child alone, then she will have to endure this day, especially for an unmarried girl like Xu Ling, the hardships involved cannot be explained to outsiders.

After returning to Chang'an, Xu Ling found that the familiar relatives had either passed away or fled without a trace, and the familiar environment became strange.In order to support the young master, she had to make a living by helping people wash clothes and do needlework, earning every penny, and taking care of Yuan Zhen through hardships.

Yuan Zhen, whose life has plummeted from a young master in fine clothes to a washerwoman's son, should not be called Xu Zhen, and he doesn't feel bitter, on the contrary, he is very contented.Although he is young, it's not that he doesn't know what to do. He knows in his heart that if there is no soul girl, he would have been killed by Zhao Shi many times.

The sensible Xu Zhen also helped Xu Ling do some neat jobs, such as collecting firewood, carrying water, and feeding chickens. All the villagers in the village praised him as a good young man. Xu Ling's ability to have such a son can be regarded as a blessing for three lifetimes. There are also filial sons who die.

Whenever they heard the folks say this, the mother and son always smiled and did not argue, because only they knew in their hearts that there was only each other in their lives, so what was the use of explaining so much Woolen cloth!
Several years later, Xu Zhen, who had already married and established a business, was not satisfied with living in the countryside, nor could he bear the overwork of his mother and wife, so he joined the Tang Army which was being recruited, and was assigned to serve in the Tiance Army, serving for his life. The most important two women earn a future.

After several years of fighting, Xu Zhen has become a school lieutenant of Zhiguo. The first thing he did when he returned home from his official position at the seventh rank was to take his mother and wife, who had been tortured for half his life, to his new home in Chang'an. Enjoy the new life well, the villagers are very envious of Xu Ling's blessings.

In the first year of Zhenguan, the new East Palace Six Rate was established. Yuan Zhen and many brothers from the original Tiance Army were transferred to the East Palace to work under the prince's command. Afterwards, he participated in the battle of Tiemenguan and the battle of Minzhou with the prince, and accumulated meritorious service to the rank of guerrilla general. .

This guy usually likes to take his fat son Xu Ning to the military camp to show off to his bachelor colleagues.The whole day is cheerful, the brothers like him very much, Aiwu and Wu are also willing to take Xu Ning to play in the camp. It is no exaggeration to say that Xu Ning grew up in the military camp and became the pistachio of the veterans.

I don't know how the Yuan family in Luzhou knew that Xu Zhen was an official in the capital. To climb the high branches of the East Palace, he also had to borrow light.

Unexpectedly, Xu Zhen not only did not recognize his relatives, but also reprimanded his biological father, and put before Yuan Zaidao all the abuse he suffered when he was a child. He did not choose to make a big deal face to face.

I just secretly ruthless that lowly servant girl who betrayed her master - Xu Ling, everything she enjoyed today should belong to Lao Tzu, but now the slave bullies the master, isn't that the opposite?So he wanted to go to Beijing to find an old friend to find a way to see if there was no other way to recover.

But his friend reminded him that the crown prince is not very old, but he is indeed a very protective person. To suppress the meritorious generals under him, it is undoubtedly a slap in the face of the crown prince who returned after a big victory. The old and spicy censor has been planted in his hands, are you a low-level facao?

Well, even if the crown prince can't take care of so much, but grandson Wuji, Qin Qiong and other veterans, who can provoke them, if you make a move, they will think that you are trying to slander the East Palace with ulterior motives, and then things will be done It's not worthwhile to let the whole family go without saying anything about not coming.

Yuan Zaidao had been in the officialdom all his life. Although he hadn't become a high-ranking official, according to his years of experience in the officialdom, he knew too well the reason why officials should not fight with superiors, so he quietly returned to Luzhou.

During the Northern Expedition of the Tang Army in the fourth year of Zhenguan, Xu Zhen went out with the crown prince. He worked hard all the way, and finally died in the battle of Yinshan. Li Chengqian also sighed for this.

After the war, in order to appease the souls of the fallen heroes and honor the meritorious soldiers, the emperor specially rewarded the three armies, not only rewarding countless gold and silver treasures, but also rewarding titles and honors to some generals and officials, especially the family members of the fallen generals. top priority.

Xu Zhen is the general of the East Palace, even if he died, he is still the prince's man, so he has a certain care in measuring military merits, one imperial order has become two, his mother and wife both granted the fifth-rank imperial order, and let his son Xu Ning attacked the Viscount.

Because of his father, Xu Ning was exceptionally paid six ranks during the Battle of Songzhou. After the war, he was awarded the rank of Colonel Guo through meritorious service. He has inherited the mantle of his late father. So his life in the army was much more comfortable than others.

Last year, Yuan's family in Luzhou learned that Xu Zhen had passed away, and there was no one in the family except for a brat and two wives, so they wanted to take this opportunity to take Xu Ning back to the door. By the way, I got the order, but due to some special reasons, it didn't happen.

Moreover, Xu Zhen is the son of the Yuan family. How can Xu Ling, a servant, enjoy the glory brought by his master? Zhao, as Xu Zhen's veritable stepmother, should enjoy this honor according to the law. This is why Dai Zhou accepted the case. .

That's right, according to Tang law, the Zhao family is the first wife of the Yuan family, the real headed wife, and Xu Zhen's mother. She has the right to enjoy all the glory after her stepson's death; This is the absolute right side of the law.

At the same time, the Yuan family also issued a family tree and clan spies, together with documents from the local government and Xu Ling's deed to sell himself, which further confirmed the charge of fleeing slaves and deceiving the master.

Dai Zhou is not a fool. As an experienced criminal officer, he certainly cannot easily offend Donggong, so after verifying a series of documents, he officially closed the case; Well, isn't the country's constitutional system a joke, and how can it restrain the people of Datang.

"Xu Ning, fallen leaves always return to their roots, you are a descendant of the Yuan family, this cannot be changed by you, this official, or anyone else.

I think both your father and son have made contributions to the country, so I am willing to mediate. You return to the Yuan family, and the Yuan family will not pursue the escaped slaves. At that time, you will not only have more close relatives, but also continue to support the Xu family. ! ", Dai Zhou looked at Xu Ning with a smile, and put forward his opinion in a gentle voice.
