Chapter 124
The emperor died? !
Lu Desheng stood up involuntarily, looked in the direction of the palace, and said sadly, "Your Majesty, have a good journey. Go back to heaven and be your Taiqingren."
He didn't sleep that night either. It should be said that almost all the officials in the capital didn't sleep either. No one expected that early in the morning they would be greeted not only by the dawn, but also by the news of Emperor Kang Cheng's death.
Xie Zhan looked in the direction of the imperial city with joy. Last night, Emperor Kangcheng asked Jin Wuwei to order so many ministers to be buried with him, so he guessed that his life was not long. He went, and the dark clouds weighing on his head finally dissipated. He, Xie Zhan, would lead the Xie family into a new era.
As soon as the dragon bell rang and the Jinwu Guards retreated, Zhao Wenkuan of the Zhao family breathed a sigh of relief. From last night to early morning, everyone in the Zhao family stayed up all night, and now it was obvious that they had escaped.
God knows how panicked he was when something happened to the Xie family! Doesn’t my daughter’s precognitive dream work? She clearly said that the Xie family was fine from beginning to end.
Later, when he found out which ministers were buried with him, he was very glad that after he was demoted by half a rank by Lu Desheng's impeachment officer, he realized that he was not treated well by Emperor Kang Cheng, so he became much more at ease and stopped getting in the way. The eyes of the emperor. It was probably because of this that Emperor Kang Cheng didn't think of him. He was clinging to life.
When the bells of the Mourning Dragon Bell dispersed, the ministers came back to their senses. It seemed that the emperor hadn't appointed a heir apparent yet? So the ministers put on their court clothes and rushed to the palace.
Lu Desheng also changed into new court uniforms and planned to see Emperor Kang Cheng for the last time.
The Jinwu Guards are evacuating from various city gates and important streets.
"Go back and change your clothes before coming to the office." Lin Ran confessed.
Sheng Huaian looked at him in confusion. Aren't they finished? "Commander, brothers have been busy all night, why don't we take a break during the day?" If they haven't finished the work, they will continue to work. There is no need for him to go back and change clothes before coming back.
"Just do whatever I ask you to do, there is so much nonsense." Lin Ran said angrily, and he still had a secret decree in his hand.
Okay, you are the commander and you have the final say!
When Sheng Huaixing returned home, he happened to meet his stupid brother.
"What a strong smell of blood!" Sheng Huaian kept backing away from him, with a look of disgust on his face.
"Really?" He didn't notice it.
"Brother, how many people did you kill last night?" Sheng Huaian was curious.
"You don't want to know." He said as he walked towards his yard, and Sheng Huaian followed.
When he entered his bedroom, his stupid brother wanted to follow him in, but he locked him out.
Sheng Huaian was waiting outside boredly. After a while, he saw his brother changing clothes and coming out. He glanced at him and walked out, "Brother, are you going out?"
"Um."
Sheng Huai'an looked at him with admiration, "Brother, you are so good. You work day and night. Even the donkeys at the entrance of the village don't keep spinning like this."
Sheng Huaixing gave him a bang on his forehead and said, "Chang'an City has been very stormy recently. Please stay at home and don't go out." Stupid brother.
When Sheng Huaixing arrived, Lin Ran had already changed into a clean uniform and was waiting. Next to him stood Wu Yuchun, the Minister of Duzhi.
"Let's go to Qin's house!" Lin Ran said. They changed their clothes to show respect for the loyal Qin family.
Sheng Huaixing: He knew it.
Qin family
Shortly after the death bell rang, Qin Sansao Nie Yunniang gave birth to a daughter safely. The Qin family returned with joy and sorrow.
At this moment, the concierge came to report that Jin Wuwei was here.
The Qin family looked at each other, what should come will always come. They had speculated before that after their biological father Qin Yue took on such a big responsibility for the Qin family, there would be no more deaths in the Qin family. With this guess base, they are no longer afraid.
When Lin Ran brought people to Qin's house, he found that Qin's house opened the door to welcome guests.
Qin Heng, Qin Sanlang and Qin Sheng greeted everyone at the door, "Commander Lin, Deputy Commander Sheng, please come in."
Lin Ran nodded and said nothing more.
When they arrived at the main courtyard of the Qin family, all the Qin family members were standing there.
Lin Ran raised the imperial decree in his hand and said, "The Emperor's decree is great! Madam Qin, Prince Qin, all of you, please kneel down and accept it!"
The Qin family knelt down with cheers.
"The emperor was entrusted with the destiny, and the edict said: Pingxi Marquis Qin Yue, as the general of the northern border, has the responsibility to protect the peace of the border. However, he neglected his duty and failed to observe the movements of the Qiang and Hu elites. As a result, the prince died at the hands of the Qiang and Hu people, causing the country to collapse. This loss caused the country to be in turmoil, and the crime was extremely heinous!
In memory of the past meritorious deeds of the Qin family, he retained his name as Marquis of Pingxi and General of Zhenbei: his children, heirs, wives and daughters were exempted from death penalty, all the men of the Qin family were dismissed from all official positions, and all the female relatives were exempted from the imperial edicts: the Qin family was exiled to Pingzhou, and all the family property in the mansion was The money was put into the treasury, the whole family was put into prison, and they were ordered to set off on a certain day. Granted! "
Lu Songli listened calmly. As expected, the Qin family still couldn't escape the fate of exile, and the place of exile was as she expected, in the northeast.
The northwest has always been where the Qin family's troops are stationed. I wonder how many relatives and friends there are there? I don’t know how many people have benefited from the Qin family. Emperor Kang Cheng would never exile the Qin family to the northwest no matter what.
The southeast and southwest each have their own problems, such as hot and humid climate, miasma and witchcraft, etc., which will make northerners extremely uncomfortable and even cause casualties.
The Qin family knows how to fight. Now that the whole world is not at peace in the Great Dawn, Emperor Kang Cheng still wants to use the Qin family. Naturally, he does not want the Qin family to be destroyed. The journey into exile was already difficult. If there were still a lot of problems to overcome at the risk of his life when he went to the exile, it would be a bit contrary to his original intention.
Therefore, it is easy to understand that Emperor Kangcheng would choose Pingzhou in the northeast as the place of exile for the Qin family.
Moreover, Pingzhou is to the east of Youzhou, facing the sea to the south, Lelang County to the east, Goguryeo to the northeast, and a large area in the northwest is the territory of the Xianbei people. The territory is very small, and it can contain Pingzhou by strangling the mouth of Youzhou. state.
Emperor Kang Cheng was also on guard against the Qin family.
After Lin Ran announced Emperor Daxing's will, Wu Yuchun was eager to take over all the property of the Qin Mansion.
Qin Heng asked politely, "Commander Lin, can you let us tidy up?"
Lin Ran: "Yes, but only two quarters of an hour."
"Thank you."
"No property can be taken away!" Duzhi Shangshu Wu Yuchun emphasized at the side.
"Do not worry."
"Master Wu, you can go to the warehouse first." When Lin Ran said this, he glanced at Qin Heng.
Qin Heng understood and asked the steward to get the key to the warehouse.
Lu Songli pulled Qin Sheng and ran towards their yard.
Back in the bedroom, Lu Songli quickly took off the various hairpins on her head, then inserted three wooden hairpins on them, and took off the jade bracelet and gold bracelet on her hand. After thinking about it, I just put on a chicken wing wood bracelet on my left hand.
She had prepared all these before, and she specially hired craftsmen from other places to make them. As soon as the father and son were finished, she sent them far away from Chang'an City.
Then she started to change her clothes. The clothes she wore were mainly comfortable and warm. She chose the unobtrusive clothes that she had prepared. She put on a long coat that was not old and new, and held another in her hand. A headscarf, ready to be used to wrap your head.
They will be in jail soon, so they must take measures to keep warm. Moreover, she felt that the good clothes on her body, given Mr. Wu's stingy temperament, would definitely not allow them to continue wearing them, and would even check whether they had stolen any belongings from the house.
After fixing herself, she took Qin Sheng and changed his clothes first, putting them into the discreet and warm clothes she had brought.
Lu Songli's movements were very fast. Before Qin Sheng could react, she took off his clothes. When getting dressed later, Qin Sheng came by himself.
Finally, she took off the jade crown on his head that was used to tie his hair, and quickly gave him a wooden hairpin to tie his hair. At the same time, he also put a string of chicken wing wood bracelets on his hands.
Qin Sheng didn't know why.
"Wear it, don't lose it." As long as they say that they are wearing the same wooden bracelet as a token of their love, others will not be too suspicious.
Seeing that the time was up and Lu Songli and the others had to rush back to the main courtyard, she directed Qin Sheng to bring a rattan basket. In the basket were some children's clothes. They looked old and not new, but they were very warm.
