Chapter 205 The Tragic Emperor

A group of maidservants outside the house knelt together, huddled together in a panic: "Your maidservant knows your mistake, this maidservant will never dare again..."

Lan Xin went out of the room, staring at the maidservants who were kneeling on the ground trembling, she smiled lightly and said: "Mother didn't like the one in the east room the most, but luckily I mentioned it in the west room, if it is passed to mother, Your days are probably coming to an end."

The servant girls were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they kowtowed like garlic: "Your maidservants don't dare anymore, grandma, please forgive me."

Lan Xin straightened her clothes and said with a light smile, "Since you have committed a crime, you will be punished anyway, Hongdou, demote these slaves to third-class servants to burn fire and chop wood."

In the Zhanfu, servants are divided into four classes, the first class is the highest, first to third class, and the lowest class is slaves, some of these slaves are slaves of the enemy country, and some are heinous, and later they were taken under Zhan Qingcheng's fancy. , that slave has no status in the mansion.The third-class maid is second only to this slave, because the third-class maid still has a contract of prostitution there, but life will not be easy in this Nuoda Zhanfu.

Because of Lan Xin's appearance, few people in the mansion dared to mention Su Fengjin anymore.

Originally, Su Fengjin's sense of presence was very low, but now that she left the Zhanfu, the Zhanfu has not changed much, and the old lady and Lan Xin are still in business as usual.

Zhan Qingcheng went to Zhao Mansion early in the morning, not blatantly, but climbed the wall of Zhao Mansion, and went straight to Zhao Ruancheng's father's study.

Then Zhao Ruancheng's father is currently Yicheng of Dali Temple, and his official rank is much lower than that of Zhan Qingcheng. Earlier, the Zhao family participated in the prince's treason case. It is lucky to be able to get out of the whole body, and he can still serve as an official in the court. Officer, it is lucky.

Seeing Zhan Qingcheng come in through the window now, he was a little dazed for a while, not understanding why Zhan Qingcheng would rescue him at that time.

"General Zhan, you..."

Zhan Qingcheng glanced at the bright sky outside, brushed the chill off his robes, grabbed the file in Zhao Yicheng's hand and glanced at it, now Zhao Yicheng has the right to review the files of Dali Temple, but Those files must not be taken out of Dali Temple.

Zhan Qingcheng Fuyi sat down opposite the desk, squinted his eyes and said coldly: "Master Zhao just came out of the fire, he is quite courageous, and in a blink of an eye he focused on the case of the first prince."

Today, people are most taboo about mentioning the matter of the former emperor and the former prince. The Ministry of History is the person of the present minister, and there are only a few cursory mentions in the historical records. .

Mr. Zhao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, then knelt down with a plop towards Zhan Qingcheng: "General Zhan, this old minister really didn't mean to, and I still look forward to General Zhan Haihan."

Zhan Qingcheng took the case file and glanced at it: "I remember that the former crown prince had a daughter, but now it is written in the case file that his young daughter was buried in a sea of ​​flames? Master Zhao, since this general has divorced the Su family, then, I have a doubt." I also ask Mr. Zhao to answer it for you."

"This..." Zhao Yicheng's face turned pale, and his figure kneeling on the ground became more and more stooped.

"Why? Is there any embarrassment in this matter? As an important member of the court, this general should also present this file..." Zhan Qingcheng glanced at the most important page of the case closing section but disappeared.

"Why did General Zhan save my Zhao family?" Zhao Yicheng asked boldly.

The dawn light fell on Zhan Qingcheng's body through the paper-pasted window, and his black clothes cast a chill over the entire inner room.

"If the Zhao Mansion is gone, then some things may be difficult to answer." Zhan Qingcheng pointed out.

Zhao Yicheng's hands trembled: "Since the general has divorced the Su family, why bother to ask for an answer. If the general doesn't know about some things, it is a great blessing."

"Say." Zhan Qingcheng slammed the case file on the table with a bang, his face was gloomy and cold, that word was like a sword drawn from its sheath, with a cold front.

Although Mr. Zhao has been an official for decades, he is a civil servant after all. He only reads the battle reports on weekdays. Trembling with fright.

"This... the general is killing me!"

Zhan Qingcheng narrowed his eyes: "Since this general can rescue the Zhao family from today's master, I have the ability to rub your Zhao family to ashes, saying, if you dare to hide anything... you will be at your own risk."

Zhao Yicheng got up and sighed: "Feng Jinyuan is also a good boy. After entering the mansion, he often cooks with his wife in the back kitchen. He is also filial. Tong Juncheng is also a loving husband and wife. She has no choice but to divorce her. It's a long story. "

"Then pick up the important ones and talk about it. This general has no patience." He has always been like this, if he can explain it with violence, he will not talk nonsense. Now that violence has been wiped out by Su Fengjin, it is rare to speak properly.

"Yes, this matter has to start with the late emperor. The late emperor's heirs were weak, and he had only one son and one daughter for most of his life. Unfortunately, His Royal Highness the crown prince left before the late emperor's funeral. The late emperor was furious, so he missed the present horse. That is to say, when I go to investigate today, I was still a petty official back then and had no right to intervene in that case."

Zhan Qingcheng held the purse in his hand, and had an unwritten guess in his heart: "Continue."

"The case was finally settled when the crown prince died of a serious illness. The late emperor vomited blood and died that day. It was rumored that the crown prince died in a fire in the prince's mansion with the emperor's granddaughter. Since then, it has been a matter of course. Became the last family member of the Gu family."

At that time, Zhanqing City was too small, and I didn't know where to play with mud.He didn't know it, but thinking about it now, Zhan Qingcheng suddenly said: "Jiangnan Gu's mansion and Huai'an Wang's mansion have the same surname Gu. I remember that there was a record in "Miscellaneous History" that Huai'an Wang's mansion used to be a side-by-side mansion. , fought together with the late emperor."

Mr. Zhao wiped off his cold sweat, and said in a low voice: "You can't talk nonsense, since the accession to the throne today, many historical records have been revised. The Huai'an Palace is not the Palace of the King, and I heard that the people in the Palace of the Palace are all together. It was buried for the first emperor. General, this... this must not be spread, if the emperor finds out today, the family will be confiscated and exterminated."

Zhan Qingcheng rubbed the purse in his hand, raised his eyebrows: "If that's the case, why did the Zhao family want to divorce her? What does those things have to do with her?"

"The three-year-old granddaughter of the emperor was loved by the late emperor. Without the crown prince, the late emperor once threatened to pass on the throne to her when he was about to die. The dog Ruan Cheng accidentally went to the south of the Yangtze River, and accidentally learned that Feng Jin's child The mother is... the daughter of the king's first relative back then."

Then Su Fengjin is very likely to be the three-year-old but amazingly talented granddaughter of the emperor.

"I remember that the eldest princess passed away half a year after ascending the throne today." Zhan Qingcheng suddenly remembered some old events. All the ministers related to the late emperor disappeared sooner or later. Now that I think about it carefully, those who survived are all the ministers who had made good friends with the present when they were still attached to the horse.

Zhao Yicheng sighed: "That's right, during the six months when the eldest princess was in the harem, the court was relatively peaceful. Since the eldest princess died, and every spring taboo, the entire court has been changed for a while. How many people died in their own homes for no apparent reason, and the ministers were also trembling during those days."

Zhan Qingcheng caressed the purse in his hand, his eyes were deep: "In this way, Jin'er is the granddaughter of the emperor."

"Yes, the imperial decree of the former emperor's passing on the throne has not yet been opened. If the granddaughter of the emperor marries into her husband's family and gives birth to an heir in the future, there may be a big change." In this way, Su Fengjin's mother was the old The little princess who stood shoulder to shoulder with the palace was also the crown princess back then.

Zhan Qingcheng suddenly felt that the invisible fog in the darkness was rushing towards him, he sneered: "The first emperor thought he had recruited a son-in-law riding a dragon, but unexpectedly he recruited a wolf back."

That wolf occupied the land of the late emperor, and killed most of the late emperor's cronies. If the side-by-side king hadn't grown old, the new side-by-side king would have been willing to proclaim himself a subject and be named King Huai'an. It was also a fierce battle.

Mr. Zhao was wiping off his cold sweat, feeling that his life would not be long: "General, you must not let this word out!"

Zhan Qingcheng sneered: "That's why Zhao Ruancheng sold Jin'er in exchange for glory and wealth."

It's no wonder that Su Fengjin would say that the seven or eight-month-old brother in her mother's womb died together with her mother in a mass grave.It's really scary to think about it carefully.

All this has long been in the hands of today.

Mr. Zhao was a little embarrassed for a while: "Xiaguan, there are about a hundred people in the Zhao family, and there is really nothing we can do."

At that time, the Zhao family was just a mere official of the fifth grade who had just entered the court. How could it accommodate the great god of the emperor's daughter and grandson? Now that he thinks about it, Zhao Yicheng still regrets it: "If I knew her earlier, I would It's the granddaughter of the emperor, my Zhao family would not dare to marry even if they had twelve guts."

But the emperor pointed Su Fengjin to Zhan Qingcheng!It is clear that we are going to start clearing the Zhanfu.

Zhan Qingcheng frowned wearily: "Who else knows about this except you?"

"The lower official also accidentally learned that when the lower official entered the palace, he heard Eunuch Hai privately say that the Prince Fenghua Wushuang was a young man at the time, and if nothing else happens, the current emperor's daughter and grandson should also be the jewels in the palm of his hand. Who would have thought that he would be trampled on like that, it's really fate, can the general listen to his subordinates, and just let go of those past events, only those who know the time and affairs will be a hero."

Zhan Qingcheng's face was grim and cold, and he was silent for a while before saying, "The duty of the General's Mansion is only to protect the family and the country."

"That's good. The Zhan Mansion has already divorced the Su Clan. It's too peaceful if you think about it. Let's just turn this matter over and don't bring it up again." Master Zhao's hands were trembling, and he really wished he could put Zhan Qingcheng to death. Brainwashed, let him forget the things he said earlier.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and Zhao Yicheng's main wife called softly: "Master, why haven't you come out for so long? I made some breakfast and sent someone to bring it in for you."

Master Zhao was so frightened that he almost knelt on the ground, and said tremblingly: "General, you must never let anyone find out that you have come to the Zhao residence..."
