He and Zheng Xian began to look at Gongzhong's account books.
After Zheng Xian and his sons were arrested, Mr. He often looked for opportunities outside. He just sent a hundred thousand taels of silver notes to Mr. Zheng Ge. Otherwise, Mr. Zheng Ge would not really work so hard. .
Of course, Mr. Zheng Ge himself couldn't keep this money, so it's hard to say who he contributed to.
Zheng Xian has been an official for more than ten years, and his family is said to be quite wealthy. However, after they were imprisoned, it was part of the up and down management. What's more important is that after Zheng Jiaojiao married into Prince Fu's palace, she was given thirty thousand taels of silver notes as a dowry. , and buy less other dowries.
After all this trouble, the family seems to have no money.
Fortunately, there were still things at home that he could sell, and the house also had to be sold. Zheng Xian just felt like he was dreaming.
He was already a grandfather, and suddenly he had to return to his hometown in such a desolate state. Naturally, he felt uncomfortable.
But no matter how uncomfortable it is, it can only be like this. There is a time limit for returning to the place of origin. They can't help but keep dragging them here. Otherwise, the He family would not be in a hurry to sell those fields.
Of those three shops, two were bought by the Qi family, and one was bought by a son of the Xu family.
The Qi family and Zheng Sanlang did not reconcile, but just arranged a separation and separation, so the Qi family could still live in the capital with their children, but Zheng Sanlang could not.
Now, if father and son meet again in the future, they may not really know each other.
The Qi family wanted to eat Zheng Sanlang alive right now!
Because they made mistakes, which directly led to the destruction of their children's future.
The imperial edict has been issued. Zheng Xian's sons and grandsons can no longer take the imperial examination route. The Qi family does not dare to hate the emperor, so naturally they hate this bastard Zheng Sanlang!
Things have become like this, and Qi has no other choice now. She can only place her hope on her grandson, hoping that he will be able to live up to his expectations by then.
Before that, she needed to protect her share of the family property so that her children could grow up safely.
The Zheng family actually doesn't have much money anymore, but compared to the vast majority of ordinary people, they are still considered wealthy. At least when they return to their hometown, they can live a stable life without doing anything and eating well.
Of course, this is relative to ordinary people, but for the Zheng family who once enjoyed the benefits brought by power, being driven out of the center of power and unable to even join officials again is the most fatal blow to them. .
The worst thing is that the Zheng family also has a daughter who lives in Prince Fu's mansion.
They had no choice but to stay in the capital, so they could only let their sons and daughters-in-law go first, while Zheng Xian and He stayed to wait for the Holy Emperor's decree.
King Fu is dead, and King Fu's Ziyi has only been reduced to a commoner, and then imprisoned, without any other actions.
What Zheng Xian thinks now is that it would be best if he could take his daughter away.
It's not that Zheng Xianduo feels sorry for his daughter, it's just that he has a daughter who lives in the former Prince Fu's Mansion, and he always feels uneasy. If something happens again in the future, it will bring trouble to the Zheng family again.
Emperor Jingwen looked at the news reported by his servants and said nothing for a long time.
The fifth prince came to say hello and brought a tonic soup to the Holy One.
"Come and take a look."
After the fifth prince read the memorial, his eyebrows tightened slightly: "Father, the second prince brother is gone, and you have demoted his children to common people. Is that enough? What if we really drive them to the frontier? Land, let’s not talk about the hardships they will endure along the way. I’m just saying that if they are a group of women and they bring their children, they will probably have no way to survive there. I ask my father to be merciful and allow them to live in the capital. If you feel troubled, just don't summon them."
Emperor Jingwen asked him to read this memorial, which was naturally a test.
"Xiao Wu, do you know that wildfires never burn out, and spring breezes blow them again?"
The fifth prince was startled for a moment, and then said firmly: "Father, I understand what you mean, but that is the blood of the second emperor brother, and I really can't bear it. Moreover, they are imprisoned now and can't do anything. , If you are still not at ease, just wait until your nephew grows up and send him to a distant place to make a living, but you won’t really have to be exiled to the frontier, that would be too painful.”
Emperor Jingwen didn't say yes or not.
"Xiao Wu, in your opinion, what should be done with the family members in Prince Fu's Mansion?"
"Back to my father, in the opinion of my sons and ministers, women who have never given birth to children, or women who are not pregnant, can be sent away. If they are unwilling to leave, there is no harm in staying. As for the others, we will raise them for the time being. It’s okay to leave them alone. You are a wise king and a father. I know that what the Second Emperor Brother did made you sad, but his children are still young, so there is no need to sin against them. "
"After all, they are the blood of King Fu. What if one day in the future King Fu's old tribe finds them and wants to make one of them the leader?"
The fifth prince shook his head: "There are not many people in King Fu's old department. Besides, the military power that the second prince reluctantly obtained is not really serving him. It's just the words of some literati, and it won't achieve anything great."
Emperor Jingwen nodded, seeming to agree with his statement, but still did not express his position.
After the fifth prince walked out of the hall, he felt a cold sweat break out on his back.
His father was really testing him all the time.
If he really wanted to get rid of all Prince Fu's family members, his father would probably say that he was cold-blooded and ruthless, and that he didn't care about brotherhood at all.
well!
The fifth prince is also worried.
He really wanted to sit in that seat, but who could tell him why it was so difficult?
If you are not careful, you may be in danger of catastrophe!
Two days later, the imperial edict was issued to Prince Fu's Mansion.
The female relatives who had never given birth to children were all released and could freely choose whether to return home.
Zheng Tingting was also released.
She looked around confusedly, not knowing what to do.
She is not stupid. If King Fu is defeated, her natal family will definitely not end well.
Sure enough, she heard the news about her father and brother being imprisoned from the mouths of the guards. She could do nothing but cry.
Zheng Tingting was thinking, should she go back to Zheng's house?
Before he could make a decision, he heard a familiar voice.
"Tingting!"
Zheng Tingting turned around and saw that her father and mother were there. She burst into tears and stumbled towards her: "Mother!"
Zheng Tingting originally brought four maids into Prince Fu's Mansion, and now there are four of them, which is pretty good.
Zheng Xian's family completely left the capital. After their house was moved to Yaxing, a large house with five rooms was sold for only 20,000 taels of silver. This price was really not high.
But Zheng Xian also knows that the tiger has been bullied by the dog, and they have no capital to fight with others now.
Accept your fate!
What he didn't know was that less than a month after the house was bought, it was delivered to Xie Xiuwen.
