Regarding Huang Qiong's worries, King Yong did not pay too much attention. Instead, he smiled slightly and said: "I understand, I understand. You have to see through everything but don't tell it. Don't worry, as long as the old man doesn't announce this matter for a day, your seventh brother and I will do the same." I will keep my mouth shut. Ninth brother, tell me the truth, aren't you just worried about that old witch De Fei and the 250-year-old King of Song Dynasty causing trouble for you?"
"Actually, Ninth Brother doesn't have to worry about that pair of idiots who are only blindly arrogant. As for those two girls, how can they be your match together? However, Ninth Brother doesn't have that either. Wrong. In general, it is better to be careful. The overall situation has not been decided one day, so it is better to keep some things in mind. "
After the words fell, King Yong pulled Huang Qiong to his side, deliberately lowered his voice and said: "I heard that the second sister-in-law's family is now placed in your house? Can you take your seventh brother and me to visit? No matter what the second brother did He has made many mistakes, but after all, he is our biological brother. The second sister-in-law is back in Beijing now, so it is really unreasonable not to visit him. I have brought all these gifts. "
Looking at King Yong like a thief, he knew that he was worried that because of his private visit to King Jing's family, the old man would misunderstand him as a member of King Jing's party. The implication is not necessarily certain, but a rebuke is definitely inevitable. But without a visit, Huang Qiong would be sorry for the brotherhood and spread the word, which would damage his reputation as a knight-errant king. Huang Qiong smiled slightly and said: "Brother Qi, it is a good idea to have this idea. I will naturally fulfill it."
"Don't worry, even if my father knows about it, nothing big will happen. As the seventh brother said, no matter how many wrong things the second brother has done, he is still our brother after all. Now that the second sister-in-law is a widow and comes to Beijing, what do you do? As a brother, it's natural to go and visit. Even if my father knows about it, he can only say that Seventh Brother is a passionate person."
After saying that, he ignored the expression on King Yong's face after hearing his words. After asking someone to inform him in advance, he dragged Prince Yong to the back house of his mansion, where Prince Jing's family was accommodated. Lin Hanyan, who had been notified in advance, was already waiting outside the courtyard with several of King Jing's concubines and children.
Yesterday, the old man's imperial edict to abolish King Jing's title was not just an announcement to the world. Prince Jing's family also received an imperial edict. In other words, Lin Hanyan and all the concubines of King Jing, together with their children, have been removed from the Tian family and become ordinary common people under the emperor's new imperial edict.
The old man did not imprison them directly, but temporarily placed them in the British Prince's Mansion, which was really merciful. If the customs of the former Tang Dynasty were followed, once the father's throne was abolished due to crime, the boys among these children would all be exiled to Lingnan. Even border areas like Longyou don't even think about it.
Although this dynasty has changed this rule, once the prince is convicted, he will be imprisoned within the high wall together with his family and children. As for when the children can be released, it only depends on when their father dies. Usually it is after the father dies that the son is released and given a low-level title to live his life.
Of course, there are exceptions. However, no one was released from the ban in advance, and there were quite a few whose children were also imprisoned until death. Emperor Lizong, because King Tan, the eldest among his brothers, was dissatisfied with his brother's succession to the throne, and believed that as the eldest brother, he should inherit the throne. After the efforts were ineffective, a rebellion was launched.
But he scraped together a bunch of ruffians and pulled together thousands of troops and horses, not to mention elites like the four major battalions. Even the local guards, who had begun to decline, were no match. King Tan, who thought that he was just and justified, and that as long as he rose up, the whole world would be informed, he didn't even go out to Shandong Road where his fiefdom was located.
Less than ten days after the uprising, they were defeated by two thousand guardsmen mobilized by Shandong Road Jiedushi. King Tan's family was captured. Although they were not killed, they were sent back to Beijing together with their families and imprisoned in Fusi, Nanzhen. This King Tan was also very angry and died in the prison area within two years of being imprisoned. Originally, according to the practice of this dynasty, the prince's crimes were not as bad as those of his family.
The owner is dead and his family should be forgiven. Even if the current emperor refuses to let it go, the successor emperor will usually be lenient. But this King Tan was a special case, and his children were not pardoned after he died of illness. The three sons were imprisoned until Lizong died and were not released even after the new emperor succeeded to the throne. They were imprisoned until their death.
The five daughters, together with King Tan's wives and concubines, were forced to become monks and were not allowed to marry for life. According to King Jing's crime, even if the reason for his rebellion was really out of his control. But just raising private soldiers was enough for his whole family to be imprisoned. Now that the emperor had only abolished King Jing's title, he was still thinking about the relationship between father and son.
Nowadays, the noble royal status in the past is already a thing of the past. As a commoner, when a prince comes to visit, it is necessary to greet him with courtesy. Otherwise, if everyone gets involved, even if the emperor ignores it, it will still be a troublesome matter. At least it will bring a lot of trouble to Huang Qiong. Lin Hanyan, who came from a family of officials, naturally knew this.
Although Lin Hanyan at this time no longer cared about the identity of the princess. But the problem is that it is rare to be able to visit him in this stall where others avoid him like a snake or scorpion. Even if this visit was just for the sake of the King of England, or even just to please the King of England, it was still quite rare.
You know, Lin Hanyan has been back to Beijing for three days, and neither his biological father nor his brother have even visited him. Even if he didn't take the princess seriously, Lin Hanyan felt indescribably uncomfortable. Even his biological father and brother, who were officials in the dynasty, were like this, so how could he blame others?
When seeing King Yong, Lin Hanyan had to salute, and he still had to do the courtesy of a common people meeting the prince. But whether it was because of himself or for Huang Qiong's sake, King Yong really dared to ask his sister-in-law to salute him, so he quickly stopped him and said: "Second sister-in-law, you must not do this. This of yours If the etiquette goes down, I will really kill my little brother alive."
"My ninth brother and I just said that no matter what treacherous things the second brother does, once he is our brother, he will be our brother forever. No matter whether the old man abolishes the title of the second brother or not, you are our second sister-in-law. No one can change the fact that these children are our nephews and nieces."
"In this world, only younger brothers salute their sisters-in-law. There is absolutely no rule for sisters-in-law to salute their younger brothers. Second sister-in-law, please don't be so outspoken. Although your seventh brother, I don't have Lao Jiu, who can mount a horse. The ability to kill the enemy and dismount can govern the people. But as a younger brother, at least in terms of brotherhood, I am definitely not the kind of person who is willing to serve others."
King Yong’s words can be said to be sincere. Today, he came to Prince Ying's Mansion with the intention of visiting Huang Qiong, but a large part of the reason was that he really wanted to visit Prince Jing's family. Although I have not been close to the second brother since childhood, I am not as cold as with the prince. Moreover, with King Yong's personality, he would definitely not be able to do the trick of adding insult to injury.
Hearing what King Yong said, Lin Hanyan didn't have anything to worry about. The eyes of the other people behind her were all red. They haven't heard such heartwarming words for a long time since King Jing's accident. As for Huang Qiong, although the headquarters of the disposer was set up in Prince Jing's Mansion. But apart from meeting Lin Hanyan, he never even took a step into the back house of Prince Jing's Mansion.
Although I have returned to Beijing now, I am living under someone else's roof, and no one will come to visit me. But now I didn't expect that King Yong, who has always been called the most chaotic among the princes, not only came to visit people like me today, but also said such touching words. Why didn't these female family members sigh for a long time?
After entering the living room, King Yong hurriedly ordered someone to carry the gifts he had prepared into the living room. This guy usually seems carefree, but when it comes to critical moments, he is still very meticulous. Although the gifts purchased are not very expensive, they are all urgently needed by these old, weak, women and children. And from concubines to several children, there is actually one for everyone.
After delivering the gifts, King Yong touched the heads of King Jing's children one by one. He let out a long sigh and then said after a long time: "Sister-in-laws, before my father has figured out how to arrange the arrangements, please settle down first." We live here. As a person like Ninth Brother, I will not treat you sister-in-law and nephew badly. In terms of safety, there is no need to worry about anything."
"If there is anything you need, and the ninth brother doesn't have it here, send someone to my place. As long as I can get it for your seventh brother, I promise to send it to you. I know his temperament, and he is not interested in some things. He cares too much and doesn't like those luxurious things. He may not really have what his sisters-in-law need. "
"Don't worry, with our two brothers here, we will naturally keep your sisters-in-law and nephews safe and sound. As for what happens next, don't worry too much. Old man, aren't they still there? These children are still the old man's grandsons after all. , The old man is a person who cares about his grandchildren but not his children, so naturally he will not be treated badly."
"Don't think about anything now and raise your children well. When the children grow up, you will have someone to rely on for life. Don't worry, no matter how high or low you are in the future, the title will always be given to one, and we will definitely not let a few The children will starve and freeze. I promise you this on behalf of a silent person."
Having said this, King Yong glanced at Huang Qiong. Huang Qiongquan pretended not to see King Yong's gaze. Although he showed the presence of an old god, his eyes were actually on Lin Hanyan. However, regardless of the truth or falsehood of what King Yong said, at least his tone was sincere. And from the posture, it doesn't look like it's done deliberately, but sincerely.
However, what King Yong said next to teach the eldest son Wang almost made Huang Qiong laugh out loud. Seeing that Huang Qiong had no reaction, King Yong, who was a little bored, turned his attention to the eldest son of the king. He assumed the attitude of his seventh uncle and lectured: "As the eldest brother, you must set a good example for your younger brothers and sisters. Now that you are settled, you must study hard."
"Only by reading good books can you understand the principles of life and take good care of your younger brothers and sisters. And as the eldest son and elder brother, you must take good care of your aunt and uncle, as well as these younger brothers and sisters. If anything happens, I can come to you at any time. My seventh uncle. But let’s talk about the ugly things first. If you can’t take care of your mothers and your brothers and sisters. When the time comes, don’t say that your seventh uncle doesn’t give you face.”
When he said these words, King Yong's attitude was extremely serious and extremely sincere. Who would have thought that the person in front of him who told other people's children to study hard would be known as the number one gangster in the capital. He is good at everything in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, but when it comes to reading, it is really like seven or six orifices have been understood, and the rest is completely unknown.
