And in Chongrenfang, which is close to the imperial city and Bei Nei, in a private garden among many palaces and palaces, called Ju'antang, behind the curtains woven with jasper and mutton-fat jade, there is also someone who cannot be heard. The voice of any emotion and meaning slowly asked:
"Sifu, so you saw with your own eyes that he killed that giant pig weighing hundreds of kilograms with one hand?"
"My nephew saw it with his own eyes. I dare not hide it. There were also the Shen family and everyone present who also witnessed it." Yang Su, who was specially summoned, nodded solemnly and said: "Especially that Shen Shiniang even saved her life after she was frightened and fell off her horse."
"In addition, my nephew also speculated that in addition to archery, martial arts, and natural supernatural power, he should have other methods that have not been revealed." Yang Su thought for a while and continued to add: "Pei, who is said to have been lost due to chaos. My wife was returned because of him.”
"So, this is actually a strange person who can no longer live in seclusion?" The person behind the curtain was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke up: "Is that why Mr. Pei wants to win over and protect him like this? Even at the cost of Because of the meeting, will you personally come forward to warn the Xia family?"
"My nephew thinks that this person should be much more than just a reclusive scholar in the city." Yang Su bowed slightly on the table again and said: "Uncle Mingjian, it became popular in the capital half a year ago and led to the impeachment of Dali Temple. The poems and essays on the execution ground seem to have been written by him.”
"But the initial change seemed to stem from the rebellious words shouted in the street on the night of Shangyuan. Then, he changed his identity in Taiwan Prison, and successively participated in the Youtufang Rebellion, Baqiao City Corpse Dismemberment Case, and Ghost Market. He appeared and participated in many incidents such as sudden changes..."
As Yang Su retreated. The person behind the curtain sighed softly. How come he doesn't know what his cousin is thinking? In fact, he has always been very optimistic about the other party, and he also intends to train her as the backbone to support the family in the future; but he can't help but be a little obsessed with women.
So much so that, between seemingly fair statements, there are faint tendencies of likes and dislikes. However, let alone this cousin, he himself had also been distressed and depressed about women. It took a long time to get over what happened back then.
He was once the luckiest person among the nobles and relatives in Chang'an City and even in the world. But after that Yuan Ye, he became the biggest joke and tragedy. Therefore, even if he gets married again and has children in the future, this matter has become a hurdle in his heart.
Therefore, the whole family was careful to avoid violating this taboo; but he did not expect that after many years, someone would uncover this matter again and find new clues and directions, which made him unable to sit back and watch. Got it.
It's a pity that he secretly promoted the Xiaosansi composed of Dali Temple, Yushitai and the Ministry of Punishment, but it was too useless. Even though he had grasped the key clues, there was no further progress. Or is it that their thoughts are not on this matter at all?
On the contrary, Mr. Jiang, who was once a prisoner, was still able to persevere and dig out more inside stories in unimportant corners. This couldn't help but make him a little wary and suspicious. Could it be that in addition to a few parties involved, there were actually people secretly obstructing it?
Therefore, although he openly gave up promoting this matter, secretly he could not help but pay attention to this person. I want to know if there is potential power behind him, deliberately pushing him to the surface. But the development of the situation made him more and more surprised.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh heavily again. Because he also vaguely knew that it was Empress Dowager Ruiming's insistence that allowed the unborn child to be born. The purpose is also to find some clues about the people behind the scenes from the children.
Unexpectedly, that person actually gave birth to a pair of twins, a boy and a boy. One of the daughters looks exactly like her mother when she was a child, so that's all. But the other son also looks like a member of the royal family, which makes people feel helpless.
Although there has been a saying that a nephew is like an uncle since ancient times, if we really want to take this into account, it will be a bit scary. At that time, the Empress Dowager Ruiming's health was already deteriorating. After being stimulated by this incident, she became more and more old and showed that she was running out of time.
With the support of the two major offices of Xiguo and Nanhai, the three Fuzheng families, which had been suppressed for a long time, have become unstoppable in their re-emergence. In this case, any scandal that breaks out within the clan and royal family may become a breakthrough for others.
Therefore, in the end, he could only be known as a romantic and casual person, like to visit the streets secretly and show mercy at all times, leaving behind a bunch of former emperors who did not know the true and false dragon veins, and abdicated early to give up the power of the country at the cost of the change of power. The angry Queen Mother Ruiming dealt with it.
Therefore, when the news of the death of Empress Dowager Ruiming in Fengxian Hall of Daming Palace came out, all investigations were stopped; instead, the top priority was to replace the old with the new; even if he was the future uncle of the country, His Majesty was inevitably warned.
Because this is also the family that has always been behind the scenes. One of the few people will stand up again and represent the vassals, princes and vassal states in the world to pay homage to the "female Yao and Shun" who protected the country for hundreds of years. Of course, the evaluation of "Yao and Shun among women" is not easy to bear.
It represents the great pressure and public opinion from the inside out; under the extreme magnification of the public attention, the persona and reputation may collapse if you are not careful; you will become Wu, the queen of the Zhou Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty in the previous dynasty. Or it may be the evil posthumous title of Empress Wei of the Zhongzong Dynasty who was in chaos and had a world of women.
It is said that back then, as a prepared relative and one of the distinguished descendants, he was ordered to meet and accompany the Empress Dowager, who, no matter how old she was, always had clear eyes. However, the private reviews and reputation are not that good.
Because, in the eyes of the descendants of the clan and royal family, the old and strong Empress Dowager was too lively and too authoritarian, to the point where she had her grandchildren and great-grandchildren to death. In the eyes of the outer dynasty, the Queen Mother was the most stubborn and conservative embankment of imperial power under the new dynasty's elegant administration.
Therefore, the Empress Dowager Ruiming supported the five generations of emperors until the last moment of her life, which is particularly commendable; as a price, the Wu Xing Shen family, who should have become a relative, was suppressed by an oath for several generations and could not serve as an official or receive a title. They can only study and teach.
And the existence of Zhenzhuji, who was a relative a generation away, was the little comfort and sustenance that the Empress Dowager had in her final years; it was like seeing another carefree self who was loved by the world until the end. . Therefore, the blow received was particularly severe.
Therefore, after the Empress Dowager was buried beside the Yuanling Tomb (Emperor Taixing) in accordance with the last wish of the Empress Dowager, the court unanimously and unanimously approved the decision to give Shen an official position, and even grant him a vassal and land outside the country; with the words "Ruiming" "As the empress dowager's virtuous life, the final conclusion of her merits and demerits is finalized.
Then, in the game and competition of the huge political legacy left behind by the Empress Dowager; relying on his identity as a relative and the emperor's confidant, he gradually gained control of the imperial city's internal soldiers, informants, and financial resources, and wanted to restart the investigation. But I found that it had already affected my whole body.
In addition, in order to protect the emperor and maintain the political needs of imperial power, he remarried a well-matched wife and soon had an heir; he became even more constrained and could not act rashly, because he had to take into account the thoughts of his own family and even his wife's natal family. and position.
Therefore, this faint regret has remained until now. Although he had long thought that it was time for him to forget and let go. However, when he heard the news again, he realized that the old wounds in his heart that he thought were healed had been torn open again.
In fact, at that time, he had wanted to adopt the daughter left behind by the one who had lost his mind. Because it is said that this person looks exactly like his mother, which is somewhat of a comfort to him. However, according to the Empress Dowager's last wishes, the children disappeared out of thin air.
So after many years, he actually heard that someone was secretly investigating the old events related to the Zhenzhuji case, and he was able to relive the ordinary Shangyuan night just by relying on old events, and made progress one after another with unexpected clues. , which made him think more.
Could it be that this time would be an opportunity for me to get some repayment for my years of regrets and regrets? Thinking of this, he called his cronies and said, "Take my post to Jingzhao Mansion and Dali Temple and say that I want to ask about the arson and murder case in Youxianguan."
