Hou Men Splendid

Chapter 111 Uncle Steps Up to the Rescue

The scene was one-sided, and soon the people brought by Lu Xiangyi and Eleven and the others cooperated internally and externally to subdue these people who tried to break in. Lin Qingran's side is safe, but outside of this, many female family members of the official family have been arrested. It was taken.

Lu Xiangyi took these people away and went elsewhere without stopping. It was already late at night.

Lin Qingran didn't sleep all night, and the surroundings of the mansion were quiet until early morning, when the sky gradually turned gray, and the sound of officers and soldiers patrolling came from the street, Ah Jiu came in and told her that she was looking for the person who hid in the city yesterday The remnants of the chaotic party.

Overnight, the so-called coercion and rebellion are over

Shao Ziyu came back only in the afternoon, and the news that the third and fourth princes forced the palace to rebel also spread throughout Luodu City in the afternoon, and the patrolling officers and soldiers kept looking for it from early morning to afternoon, so the palace would not be full of blood, but Casualties were not small.

The funeral procession had just returned to the palace, and before the Qianqing palace had time to change the clothes, the people ambushing at the gate of the palace began to break into the palace. Naturally, there were people in the palace to respond. In the main hall, the new emperor was asked to hand over the jade seal and abdicate to the third prince.

At this time, so many people outside the palace began to arrest people, just to threaten officials with family members to support the third prince, and the most important thing is to be able to blackmail the three assistant ministers.

Lin Qingran listened, the scene was too thrilling, the third prince and the fourth prince had planned for a long time, they were much more tolerant than the second prince, but the late emperor died suddenly, and made such an imperial decree that they were not allowed to return to Luodu City for ten years That's why they were forced to force the palace on the day after the late emperor's burial, when the palace's defenses were not so strict.

"You mean, uncle saved the emperor?" Lin Qingran was stunned, the negotiation failed, the third prince and the others directly tried to kill the new emperor, but it was the uncle who stood up to save the emperor, who was shot by two arrows and seriously injured fainting.

"Yes, at that time father-in-law and Prince Bei were in front of the emperor, uncle and the others were at the side of the emperor, a few arrows flew from the side, uncle protected the emperor, and he was shot by the arrow." Shao Ziyu was not in the hall at that time, and the situation in the hall was also unknown. paraphrase.

In this way, isn't the uncle the emperor's savior? Lin Qingran's mood was a little subtle, "Where is the uncle now?"

"The injury is serious, it hurts the heart, and it is still in the palace." Shao Ziyu and her glanced at each other, and Lin Qingran sighed, "What reward do you think the emperor will give?"

"That depends on what kind of reward uncle wants." Shao Ziyu understood what she meant, and he was also embarrassed. At that time, the second uncle chose to stand behind the crown prince. After doing a lot of things, the uncle didn't do anything at that time.

But now that the uncle is standing up, the matter of the second uncle is of no use.
This is destined to be an uneasy new year. The first emperor died in early December, he was buried in the middle of the month, the third prince rebelled, and all relevant officials, including the principal offender, were arrested and imprisoned in the sky prison. , what else did they do.

The crime of treason is serious enough to outweigh all other crimes, and at this time, it is easier for the Ministry of Punishment to find the evidence. Over the years, the three princes, the four princes, the two brothers, and these henchmen have done the same thing, and it is all death. It's not a pity that it also included the matter that the prince's mansion was poisoned to death by the little county master.

At that time, it was actually the grandson who wanted to be poisoned to death, but he was just a brother who loved his younger brother. Instead, he poisoned the young Lord Xiaojun to death. When the evidence was presented to the emperor, the little emperor who was only ten years old came down It was the first decision since he became emperor, to use the poison that poisoned his younger brother to kill the third and fourth princes.

The third prince and the fourth prince's biological mother, Concubine Shu, fainted when she heard the news, and she was a little crazy when she woke up. She was once the most proud concubine in the late emperor's harem, and she gave birth to two sons for the late emperor.

She pinned all her hopes on her two sons, and she also wanted her son to sit in that position. Does the series of crimes imposed on the third and fourth princes have anything to do with Concubine Shu? Yes, it's just that People are crazy now.

The crazy Concubine Shu talked about how outstanding her sons were, how much they were loved by the late emperor, and that they would be dragons among men in the future.

At the end of December, this young little emperor didn't even give the two uncles the opportunity to celebrate the new year. On the second seventh day, the three princes and four princes were killed, and several henchmen who committed serious crimes were executed. The rest were arrested and ransacked their homes. , exiled army, the children left by the third prince and the fourth prince are all royal blood and young, so there is no reason for them to be exiled outside, but they cannot be raised by those people in the past. Here, Prince Chen and The Prince of the North suggested to the little emperor that these children could be sent away to the village and sent to take care of them.

So far, the matter of treason has settled
National mourning, this year's New Year's Eve, there is no need to enter the palace, there is no palace banquet.

In the past few days, Lin Qingran could hear every day who had been executed, whose house had been ransacked, whose family's males had been sent into the army, and whose female relatives had been used as prostitutes.

Under such an atmosphere, Lin Qingran didn't feel much of the happy New Year's atmosphere, and Bo Ge'er's grasping week was delayed until the end of the New Year. Many things were mixed together, and it was New Year's Eve in a flash.

Since ancient times, the winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit, so now in Luodu city, it is good to praise the first emperor, how suitable the new emperor is, and there will be another good emperor in the future. The third and fourth princes are simply uncomfortable. What is your capacity?

If the third prince wins the rebellion today, and he sits on the throne, it will be another story in the city of Luodu. How can the young emperor handle the government affairs well? Naturally, he must be more prudent to take on such a big responsibility , This is not treason, this is for the sake of the people of the world at dawn.

When the husband and wife were talking, Shao Ziyu said, when the edict was issued like this, the first emperor had expected this to happen a long time ago. These sons were restless when he was alive. How could they be reconciled after he left? Sincerely convincing his nephew to be the emperor.

"If there hadn't been the assassination of the second prince, maybe they would have done it earlier." After Shao Ziyu said so, Lin Qingran sighed, "I think the little emperor is cruel, and father's assistant may be thankless .”

"No matter how ruthless you are, you are still a child. The late emperor is such a difficult person. Didn't his father-in-law deal with it well?" Shao Ziyu took her hand, and Lin Qingran shook his head, "You are wrong, the late emperor was already old at that time. , have their own mature cognition and ideas, and will not be swayed by others. My father voted for the late emperor, so he was valued by the late emperor. Now, my father and the prince of the north are assisting a person who has insufficient cognition and may be swayed by others at any time Little emperor, if you treat him harshly, he might grow up and still hold grudges." To put it bluntly, if you raise him well, you know how to be grateful, but if you raise him poorly, who knows when he will turn his face.

"Why don't you think it's easy to be swayed by others at this time, so whoever has served the emperor for a long time will have the greatest influence on him." Shao Ziyu pinched her nose, "On New Year's Eve, discuss what to do. what."

"You didn't mention that." Lin Qingran muttered.

As soon as the words fell, Brother Han led his younger brother and urged him at the door, "Father, mother, why don't you come out, when will the fireworks be set off, my brother and I are waiting impatiently."

The husband and wife went out, and they had already prepared small fireworks in the yard.

During the national mourning period, it is not allowed to set off the fireworks lively. The two children liked it, so Shao Ziyu sent someone to find the sparks on the ground. .

The children were very pleasing, and Bo Geer was standing beside his brother, clapping his little hands happily. The two stewards lit seven or eight lights in a row. After they were turned off, they looked up at the sky, and it was extraordinarily quiet.

Mother Li brought a maid from the kitchen with a food box, and there were a few dishes of dumplings in the box. Shao Ziyu recalled that he and Lin Qingran ate dumplings together in the first year, and came out after eating a bunch of copper coins. At the same time, brother Han was eating the dumplings in the bowl quickly, trying to find one or two dumplings inside.

Lin Qingran patted his forehead, and said with a smile, "I didn't put it in there, where did you get the copper coins?" The child was still young, and the copper coins were too clean to eat and unhygienic, so Lin Qingran didn't let them put them in the kitchen. .

"Why don't you let it go." Brother Han thought about it, and looked up at Lin Qingran, "I want to get copper coins too, and I want a lot of money."

Also gave birth to a little money fan, Shao Ziyu teased him, "How much is too much."

"One thousand copper coins!" Brother Han swallowed the dumpling in his mouth and said loudly, "No, it takes two thousand copper coins."

"Too little." Lin Qingran shook her head, "At least 1000 taels of gold is enough."

"But the teacher said that many people only earn a thousand copper coins a year." Brother Han also knows the superficial meaning, how much things can be bought with one tael of silver in reality, he doesn't know, he only knows the amount of one thousand, It's a lot.

"Well, so it's not easy to make money." Lin Qingran instilled in him, "Don't waste it."

Brother Han took the bowl and drank the soup in the bowl, his little mouth was humming with oil, "No waste."

Seeing that his brother was eating so fast, Brother Bo patted his little hands and opened his mouth to ask Lin Qingran to feed him. With someone to compare with, he was not picky about his food, so he finished eating a few in a short while.

After the family and He Lele ate, the two children went to sleep in their arms. Lin Qingran and Shao Ziyu also lay down to rest. They will go to Shao's house to pay New Year's greetings and worship their ancestors tomorrow morning
At daybreak, in this mansion, Mother Tian had already set up the Eight Immortals table, and she was waiting for Lin Qingran and the others to get up, and then went to Shao's mansion after paying their respects here.

It was just dawn when we went out, Brother Han was in a daze, Brother Bo lay on the nurse's shoulder, woke up and fell asleep again.

After getting into the carriage, Brother Han woke up slowly. The snow outside the small window stopped, and there were long traces of the wheels rolling out on the street, and occasionally there were a few firecrackers.

When we arrived at the Shao’s house, we had just made preparations here. The members of the big family worshiped outside the ancestral hall. As for recuperating in bed, Lin Qingran heard from Shao Ziyu that the palace gave a lot of precious medicinal materials, and sent the imperial physician to see her from time to time, so she paid great attention to it.
