Inheritance policy

Chapter 172 Swing
"Mrs. Zu Lin'an Houtai has been feeling better recently. She has met Chen Xian and Mrs. Chen Ge's wife, and Mrs. Gu has come to invite her. It is not easy for Lianrong to go home. When she came back, she was greeted by the mother of Rongshoutang It was framed that she stole something, and it was the second wife who helped her, so she got away and heard from Lian Rong that her old lady had also lost power in the house, but the second wife was still willing to help, and there was no one in the backyard except the wife. Now that the serious master is here, life is going well."

Lian Rong went back and followed her into a dragon's pond and a tiger's lair. After talking with the old lady, someone dragged her away and someone beat her up. It was the second lady who came forward to settle the situation.

Mrs. He didn't react this time, but let Xing Zhao take the lead - and asked Jiang Mingying to go to He's house to ask for a contract of sale for Lian Rong's family. It's not a big deal to have a house of servants, is it?
Thinking about it, Xing Zhao felt a little scared. If Madam He made the first move and captured Lianrong's family, maybe Lianrong wouldn't turn against him, right?
But the master can't ask the subordinates to see who has the most bargaining chips, and then decide who to be loyal to, and simply gather all the chips together, don't let the opportunity test the loyalty of the people - this is what Queen Fang taught her of.

After the Shangyuan Festival, the sun gradually cleared up, and the corners of the six window lattices were all set up.

The palace likes even numbers, Double Happiness, Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, Six or Six Dashun—even the few surviving princes are in the second, fourth, and sixth rows. Is it true that even numbers are more auspicious?

Xing Zhao's eyes flickered, and he turned his eyes back as he said, "After my mother left, my grandmother complained of illness for nearly two years, and my brother was released to Fujian, and the door of Rongshou Hall was reopened. The grandson used all his tricks just to deny his ancestors and return to his clan, so he must have panicked."

Once the three-year filial piety period is over, Xingjing returns to Beijing, gets married quickly, and has an even more reason not to return to the Marquis of Lin'an.

Only now did Mrs. He see clearly that her son was unreliable, so she wanted to keep her grandson in her hands.

How?
Jing Geer's confidence and backing are Fang's family, and they erode away step by step. Fang's family loses military power first, and then loses their sacred heart. As a backer, they can't take care of themselves, so where can they worry about their nephew!

It has to be said that He Yan didn't even learn his mother's tricks and the ability to read and know.

"It's hard for a single tree to make a forest. The He family can't do this with the strength of a family. First, we must understand the secret thoughts of the fourth child, then find Duan Xiaoyi, send Duan Xiaoyi to the palace, and finally seize the opportunity to mislead Xiaoniang. "Queen Fang said in a calm tone. She peeled a chestnut fried in sugar and stuffed it into Xingzhao's mouth. The reactions of the Fang family and the Fang family have to be counted one by one. The Gu family has a Queen Mother Gu who is supporting her in the palace, but she is so paralyzed that she can't even speak clearly. What can Gu Qingchen and Gu Jieyu do? The Chen family It is very motivated. Chen Yuan is the eldest daughter of the eldest daughter who has been carefully taught to marry a worthless prince. It will not be of much benefit to the Chen family. It is impossible to disturb the marriage, but it will arouse the emperor's guilt and then look for an opportunity to cry. To show loyalty, the emperor is firm and soft-hearted. As for the Lin'an Hou family."

Queen Fang paused, her hands were not idle, she quickly peeled another chestnut and fed it, "The one who hates our family the most in the entire capital is probably the He family. If Mrs. He's wife doesn't interfere, I will Swallow this chestnut shell."

Before one chestnut had time to chew, another one came.

The chestnuts are fragrant and glutinous, and they are soft and soft after one bite. Xing Zhao nodded while chewing: ". There will be footprints on the road you walk, and there will always be clues in what you have done. Check it out slowly. I found it." After chewing and swallowing it with great difficulty, he spoke again: "Anyway, if you don't check, the Hall of Yiyuan can't be idle."

Even if there is still a trace of doubt about whether it is his own son, the emperor will investigate it.

Ke Zhao wondered what tricks could be found out.

The road you walk will leave marks, but once the heavy snow passes, you can't see anything.After destroying the corpses and eradicating the traces of what he had done, he couldn’t find anything—otherwise, how could Duan Xiaoyi encourage the Fourth Prince to attack Xiaoniang? The intensification of conflicts is one aspect, but he didn’t dodge it anyway. After a while, it's all over, and I stop thinking about it.

Xing Zhao's suspicion was confirmed in the evening.

"Duan Xiaoyi was born in a farmer's family in Wanzhou. He is the eldest son of the family and has a younger brother and a younger sister. Because the old man Duan is a good gambler, he lost the land and owed gambling debts, so he simply sold Duan Xiaoyi to the theater. The troupe, took a sum of money, lost everything, and was beaten to death by debt collectors. The younger brother and sister starved to death in the famine, and Duan Xiaoyi followed the troupe to Dingjing alone. , those who were selected by the buyers of Yue Jiyuan were bought into the palace again."

Jiang Mingying looked very calm, standing like a pine and sitting like a bell, with the posture of the first female official of the Fengyi Palace. After a moment of silence, a crack appeared on the face of the first female official: "As for the palace maid who guided Mrs. Fang, according to the The physical characteristics mentioned by Mrs. Fang, I searched back and forth a few times, the East Sixth Palace, the West Sixth Palace, the servants of the Sixth Division, and the palace servants of the House of Internal Affairs. The emperor wants to suppress this matter. We had no choice but to search secretly and compare them, but none of them looked alike.”

The task assigned by the master is not done well, this is her weakness.

Duan Xiaoyi's life experience sounds very innocent - he is a hard-working little man who finally went the wrong way, but everyone knows in his heart that this is impossible.

Empress Fang was silent for a while, but suddenly heard the clear and Lingling words of the little lady sitting on the kang practicing calligraphy with her wrists hanging.

"It's hard to find the living, but it's easy to find the dead. Aunt Jiang went to look for the dead palace people who reported to the Sixth Division in various palaces after the eighth day of October. They either died suddenly or died of lingering illness. , or those who died due to accidents, they must be searched for.”

If there is no one in the living pile, will it have already been done and killed?
It is very easy to die in the palace. The tea is hot, and forty sticks are rewarded, and half of the lives are gone. It is freezing and then thrown under the eaves with no place to shelter from the wind for a few days. Half of his life is gone again, and no one will call him a grievance.

After Empress Fang took charge of the harem, this trend stopped, and if a palace died, people had to report to the Sixth Division first, and after they found out the reason in the booklet, they were allowed to reassign people to serve in that palace.It can be regarded as a confrontation against the atmosphere, but it is also a kind of helpless compromise.

Jiang Mingying came back to her senses, her eyes lit up, and she repeatedly said yes.

Empress Fang laughed: "There is a saying in Northwest that you can follow good people to learn good people, and learn to dance gods by following fortune-telling. Both Huanyi and Lao Liu are smart, and it's good for them to mix together every day, at least their minds will improve."

Xing Zhao moved his eyes, moved his pen tip, and flicked his strokes outward, just like the black geese in the row on the lantern.

The sixth prince, Zhou Shen, never left the palace at all, let alone went to the lantern festival with her, so how could he send a lantern that was exactly the same as her favorite to Guiyi Pavilion?

She felt that her improved mind was not enough anymore, so she simply shook her head, put the pen aside, put her hands on her legs that were crossed into a figure splayed, leaned out half of her body and asked Queen Fang softly: "Auntie, what do you think?" Are you frustrated with your life? Planning every day, it’s impossible to guard against.”

Empress Fang was stunned while holding the teacup, her eyes were fixed on the cuffs embroidered with layers of delicate and outrageous patterns.

"Aggrieved? I am not aggrieved. Where there are people, there are fights. In the famine, there are fewer people who compete with their sons for food? If you study well in the school, there must be someone who will catch up and study better than you. .Women from peasant households have to worry about the livelihood of the fields, and women from high-ranking families have to manage the middle school and take care of the backyard. No one has long-term concerns, but there must be near-term worries. Everyone is struggling, and it is impossible for everything to go smoothly. Idiots know that people in the palace cannibalize people and don’t spit out their bones. I am the queen, and I am a target in front of others. If others don’t look at me to hit, who will hit? I didn’t ask me to plow the fields to earn a living, so let me change Way to work hard, think about it, in fact, God is very fair."

To live a more dignified life comes with taking risks that spread far and wide.

Queen Fang meant this, right?

It's a pity that what kind of life to live has never been chosen by oneself, but people can still choose how to live it.

Xing Zhao closed his eyes, and once he returned to Guiyi Pavilion, he asked Qiwan to take the lantern off the beam and put it in the warehouse.

Early the next morning, before the early ceremony, Jiang Mingying pinched a list and entered the inner room with a strange expression. Xing Zhao was having breakfast with Queen Fang, and Jiang Mingying responded in a low voice. , then involuntarily put the silver chopsticks.

"From the eighth day of October to the present, a total of thirteen people from the east and west palaces have passed away. After sifting and sifting, there is only one who fits Mrs. Fang's description."

Xing Zhao held his breath and concentrated.

"Ke Ke, that palace man was from Concubine Chen De's palace. On the tenth day of October, while hanging the lantern, he accidentally fell from a high place and hit his neck. He died on the spot."

The people in Defei Palace!

Will the emperor believe it?

Concubine Chen De is the adoptive mother of the fourth prince. She has raised her for five or six years, and the relationship between mother and child has always been very gentle. Concubine De pointed out that after the emperor's funeral, the fourth prince opened a mansion to pick her up for the elderly!She will set up a trick to attack Fang's family, and let the fourth prince do it?
"Where is the origin of that palace man?" Xing Zhao's voice also sank.

Jiang Mingying breathed a sigh of relief, and raised her chin, "The palace man entered the palace ten years ago, and was only six years old when he entered the palace. Finally got a decent job, after her master left, she went to work in Defei Palace... Her master used to serve Empress He's palace."

After Xing Zhao was stunned, he felt a sense of relief!
This is not right!

Duan Xiaoyi is from Wanzhou, and the Chen family is from an aristocratic family in southern Anhui.

How long has Empress He been in charge of the harem?How high is the prestige?Take a look at the "Women's Training" compiled by her!Even if she can leave power in the palace after death, she can do it too!Even if the He family is in decline, the reputation of a century-old family is not for nothing!
The emperor didn't say it clearly, and the evidence was not conclusive, so the He family could still survive, waiting for the opportunity to move!

The Chen family sent someone to the palace, maybe the purpose was very simple, they just wanted to find out the fault of the fourth prince, and gain greater benefits with the sacrifice of the family daughter, but the He family took advantage of this opportunity to play a game of chess while taking advantage of the chaos. Refers to Xiaoniang, intending to pray for Fang!
Xing Zhao glanced at Queen Fang, and suddenly felt that this loss was not in vain, and the intentions of each family could be seen. When the Fang family was rarely lax, other families were already planning and wrestling.

The Chen family in the previous life became the winner by relying on the merits of Conglong, and the He family stood shoulder to shoulder with it.

But he never thought that in this life, the alliance between the Chen family and the He family has already begun to emerge.

This time the competition is a small test, starting from the small, and the battle for reserves afterward will be another bloody battle.

　Xing Zhao put out the lantern, and took it back after hearing Queen Fang's remarks. In fact, it can be seen that Xing Zhao is swaying, right?There is also Duan Xiaoyi's younger siblings, please contact me to see the context~
