Chapter 237 Farewell
This day, when I got up early, the sky was gloomy.

Today is the day when Prince Cong Chen Yuheng and his family leave Beijing.

Even though it was a grand court meeting, Wei Ziqian still asked for leave to accompany his parents to send them away from Beijing.

Wei Ziqian rode his black-tailed horse and followed Chen Yuan's luxurious green-roofed black-lacquered carriage, heading for Prince Cong's mansion.

Chen Yuan's eyes have been red since she got into the carriage. Wei Daxun held him in his arms, patted his back lightly, and comforted him in a low voice: "Don't be sad, Yuan'er. When Xiao Shen Rong is full moon, we will just visit the second elder."

Chen Yuan let out a low "huh".

At the moment, she feels sorry for her parents who are so old, and she still has to travel a long distance to go to the fiefdom.

Staying away from the prosperous life for most of my life, I went to live in that remote border town until I was old.I couldn't help the soreness and pain in my heart, and the tears couldn't help but flow out.

In fact, she also knew that the new emperor was kind to his natal Cong family and did not convict him.

Not only did he choose a frontier fortress with a fairly good climate as a fief, but his children and grandchildren enjoyed the shadow of the princes and kings.

If it was Chen Rui or Chen Yong, it would definitely not end well. The best ending would be to be detained in a remote house, isolated from the world.

The worst thing is either a cup of poisoned wine, or being demoted to the common people, sent to the frontier without death or return.

Before they arrived at King Cong's mansion, the three bright signs of King Cong's mansion had been demolished.

Prince Cong's mansion is the largest mansion in the capital apart from the imperial palace.

Now it has been taken back by the government and used for other purposes.

A few days ago, everything that could be moved from Prince Cong's mansion was moved to Yankou Wharf, twenty miles away from Beijing, and loaded onto a large cargo ship.

Those who can't be transported, just stay where they are, and deal with them according to the officials.

As well as those servants who could not be taken away, Concubine Cong followed Chen Yuan's suggestion and gave them a contract if she was willing to leave, and sent them to Chen Yuan's Zhuangzi if she did not want to leave.

It was not dawn today, and the carriages carrying goods were loaded with gold, silver, jade and treasures worth silver, and followed the owners to the Yankou Wharf to board the ship and leave.

When Chen Yuan's carriage stopped with a "squeak", Wei Daxun helped Chen Yuan get out of the carriage, he raised his eyes and saw three or four black-painted carriages parked in front of Prince Cong's mansion. Standing at the door of the mansion with both hands, looking up at the tall eaves of the mansion.

With the sound of Chen Yi personally closing the gate of the palace with a bang.

Afterwards, he flicked the hem of his robe very simply, turned around and strode towards the black painted carriage without looking back.

This scene seems to go back to 30 years ago, how similar it was when Chen Yuan was brought out by her mother and concubine to send her father to the war when she was a child.

It's just that a strong man's old age is not as vigorous as he was when he was young, but with a sense of dejection and coldness.

"Father!" Chen Yuan could no longer hold back her sobs and cried out.

"Yuaner!"

Prince Cong, who was about to get into the carriage, turned around and saw that it was his daughter and his family who came to give them a farewell party.

Wei Daxun ordered Gao An to bring people to prepare a table of farewell wine at the long pavilion ten miles outside the city this morning.

At this moment Wei Daxun took a step forward to salute Prince Cong: "Father-in-law."

"Eh."

Looking up and seeing his old father-in-law's tiger eyes reddish, Wei Daxun raised his hand to Chen Yi who was about to straddle his horse with a feeling of melancholy in his heart: "Master."

"Brother-in-law." Chen Yi, who was about to get on the saddle, threw the reins of the horse to the followers behind him, and returned the salute.

Wei Ziqian hurried forward to meet his grandfather and brother-in-law, and then they went to the ten-mile long pavilion outside the city gate together.

After seeing you off for thousands of miles, there is always a farewell. After drinking the farewell wine, Wei Daxun took his wife and children and knelt by the roadside until there was only dust and smoke left in the carriage. Wei Daxun and his son helped Chen Yuan, who was crying drowsily.
······
The Xie family has been devastated since the war more than twenty years ago.

The Xie family kissed several elders, and when they saw the death of the head of the Xie family and his son, especially the death of Empress Xie, they became unscrupulous.

He actually bullied the remaining orphans and widows, occupied the old mansion of Ge, and drove General Xie's wife and children out of the house.

For a while, the illustrious Xie family no longer had the glory it once had, and just withered and fell silent.

General Xie Yufei left only one son, Xie Haocun. Xie's wife, Ning Shi, was disheartened. She neither asked her son to study for meritorious service nor asked her son to learn martial arts to make achievements. Instead, she went out to do business.

Only now the two grandsons in their teens stay in the capital and study in the academy.

The Xie family was completely withered.

In the early morning of this day, Eunuch Yuan Bao brought people to the door to read out the imperial decree in person.

With a skinny face, Mrs. Xie, who was wearing a gray brocade beige with cloud patterns and a long blue skirt, who had just reached her birthday, was helped out by her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Tu, and said pantingly, "I don't know if my lord came to the humble house. .”

Yuan Bao knew that the old lady in front of him was the aunt of the sage, and also a rare relative of the sage.

Thinking of this, a smile filled her round face, and she narrowed her small eyes into a single line: "Mrs. Xie accepts the order."

Accept the purpose?

No one in the family is an official in the court, so what is the order?

Not to mention that Mrs. Xie was very puzzled, even though her daughter-in-law Tu Shi was puzzled, she hurriedly helped her mother-in-law to kneel down first.

The two sons were also led by the servants and knelt behind their grandmother and mother.

Yuan Bao unfolded the imperial edict, and read aloud: "The Edict of Presenting Xie Yufei's Posthumous Jubilee". Xie Yufei is a high-ranking, talented man. He is talented and educated, and he is also civil and military. Guarding the border, controlling the wilderness. It should be decorated as a compliment to comfort the spring soil. It can be presented as a posthumous gift to the founder of the country. His posthumous posthumous title is Zhongyong, and his descendants will be hereditary. Specially bestow on his wife and son two hundred horses, one hundred pieces of colorful satin, two hundred hectares of fertile land in Gyeonggi, and one Zhongyong’s mansion. . This is it."

Mrs. Xie was panicked, and Mrs. Tu was also worried, and hurriedly led the two sons to thank Shengen.

Mrs. Xie listened to Eunuch Yuan Bao read the imperial edict, her silent heart was beating like a drum, and her blood was almost boiling.

Looking to the north, hissed: "Husband, the Holy Majesty has finally cleared your innocence, you are not the incompetent person that others say!"

The two grandsons stepped forward obediently, each supporting the emotional and tearful grandmother.

Yes, the truth may be late, but it will never be absent!
An ancient book says that when the emperor was angry, millions of corpses floated and blood flowed for thousands of miles.

In the autumn of the first year of Zhengde (four months later), the private supporters headed by the British Gong Gaojing and the Minister of Rites Yan Ying committed the crime of traitorous collaborating with the enemy and intending to rebel. The crime of killing even the nine clans.

However, the emperor's kindness was great, and he ransacked his family and beheaded all males over six years old from the Gaoyan and Yan clans to show the public.

Although the Holy One is benevolent, there are more than 300 men in the Gao family, excluding women, children and children.In addition, the Yan family also has a full two hundred males.

If the nine clans were punished according to the law, thousands of people would be killed.
Even so, Caishikou had been beheaded for a month before it was finished.

For a moment, the smell of blood was wafting all over the capital, making people as silent as a cold pool.It also makes those corrupt officials play tricks in a constant state of panic.

 Today is the day when Prince Cong and his family leave Beijing. Wei Daxun took his wife and children to the farewell party.
