Rebirth of Glory and Splendour

When the month-long national mourning was coming to an end, the 380 people involved in the assassination of the East Palace were dealt with one after another. Those who should be beheaded and exiled should not be spared.

And this is already the result of Wei Ming's lenient sentence, otherwise, it is possible that the capital of Yujing would flow into rivers of blood.

In the end, it was the turn of King Wei Mao of Xiang. Wei Ming believed in his youngest son after all. Even though Wei Zhao did not find any evidence in his favor to prove his innocence, he still chose to imprison him on the spot for this serious crime compared to murdering the prince. a lesser punishment.

Many people are dissatisfied with this result, which does not meet their expected goals.

Wei Ming and Jun Feili lost their eldest son and wanted to trap their youngest son. Instead of feeling the pleasure of revenge, there was only endless sadness.

Wei Zhao has always suspected that the real culprit is someone else, but he has been busy for nearly a month, and he has used all the power in the open and in the dark. The result of the investigation is still completely different from his guess. He really can't find a little bit of it. Evidence against Wei Lan.

Could it be that he and Rong'er were wrong?Was their suspicion of him unfounded from the very beginning?Wei Zhao always felt that he had missed something that shouldn't be missed, but he searched and checked, but found nothing new, so he had no choice but to accept the current results.

Fortunately, Wei Ming only confined Wei Mao. Even though he lost his personal freedom, his life was still guaranteed.This provided him with enough time to continue investigating the matter. Unless Wei Mao really did it, he would always be able to find out the clues.

Wei Lan has been planning hard for many years in order to remove all obstacles in one fell swoop and make herself the sole heir to the throne.

Because he knows very well that with the existence of Wei Xuan and Wei Mao, he will always be the most ignored one in their family.He had had enough of this kind of life, and only by getting rid of them would he have meaning in this family.

However, although Wei Xuan died, there was still a posthumous child left behind. If Xie Xiang gave birth to a son, with Wei Ming's love and respect for Wei Xuan, who can guarantee that he will not change his mind to be a grandson? This is extremely detrimental to Wei Lan of.

There is also Wei Mao, the crime of murdering the prince cannot make Wei Ming kill him cruelly, this is something Wei Lan did not think of beforehand.

No matter what happens, no matter how meticulous the plan is, it is impossible to be untraceable. Wei Mao survives for a day, which is a hidden danger after all, but he is trapped in Xiangwang Mansion and has no contact with the outside world. He started and couldn't find a chance at all.

According to Wei Lan's original plan, after getting rid of Wei Xuan and Wei Mao, his next target is Wei Zhao and his son.

The fourth uncle and the fourth younger brother didn't like him, Wei Lan already knew this, but he didn't care, he didn't like them either.But Wei Ming trusted Wei Zhao, and the King of Qin held more than half of the country's military power, and his power was even more powerful than that of the Yongjia Dynasty.

Wei Zhao never believed that Wei Mao was the real murderer of Wei Xuan's death. If Wei Mao died, Wei Zhao would be able to reverse the case for him even if he had all eyes and eyes. Once he died, the development of things became difficult to say.

Wei Mao was imprisoned in the Zongzheng Temple for more than half a month. Although he had no shortage of food and clothing, and no worries about cold and heat, Wei Ming's treatment of him could not stop for a day.

From time to time, he still imagined that the fourth uncle might be able to find evidence that the death of the prince's elder brother had nothing to do with him, but he waited and waited, but in the end what he waited for was the news of the confinement, like a bolt from the blue, It's unbelievable.

Xie Xiang and Wei Xuan were childhood sweethearts, childhood sweethearts, and had a very deep relationship. The two had been married for more than ten years, and Xie Xiang had three daughters in succession. The emperor and the empress didn't say anything, but the ministers in the court were very opinionated. The birth of a son and the continuation of the incense, but Wei Xuan withstood the pressure and stood by her side all the time, which moved Xie Xiang very much.

Xie Xiang is the daughter of Princess Yuankang, and Wei Mao is the little cousin she watched and grew up with. Although Wei Xuan's death made her heartbroken, but Wei Mao is the real culprit behind Wei Xuan's murder. Xie Xiang really It was hard to accept, she didn't believe that Wei Mao would do such a thing.

Princess Yuankang learned that Xie Xiang was deeply saddened and might even have a miscarriage, so she took Xie Xiu into the palace to comfort her and said, "Ah Xiang, don't think too much, the most important thing for you right now is to take care of your body. Have a safe baby."

Xie Xiang remained expressionless and silent.Xie Xiu had already sent out the servants of Mingguang Palace, and said in a low voice: "Yes, sister, now is the critical moment, don't think about it and do something stupid, the lessons learned by Princess Zheng are still there."

Princess Yuankang frowned slightly, and said in displeasure, "Axiu, what are you talking about. Concubine Zheng has no children. Axiang has three daughters and an unborn child in her womb. How could she be like Concubine Zheng? Don't talk nonsense."

Xie Xiu's words were refuted by Princess Yuankang, but she was not annoyed, but said calmly: "Mother, why am I talking nonsense? The crown prince is gone, and the East Palace will soon have a new owner. character, do you think Ah Xiang's life will be easier?"

Princess Yuankang fell into deep thought when she heard the words. Indeed, Xie Xiu's words were not without reason.The emperor only had three sons. The eldest son died and the youngest son was abolished, leaving Wei Lan as the new crown prince candidate. It was only a matter of time before Shangguan Cha became the new crown prince.

At that time, Xie Xiang and her three daughters will live in the palace, not to mention being treated harshly, it is certain that the conditions in all aspects will be far worse than they are now.It's a pity that Xie Xiang doesn't have a son, otherwise when her son grows up, she will still have the chance to go out of the palace to enjoy the blessings instead of dying in the palace.

Xie Xiang's month is still young, and the imperial physician can't distinguish between men and women. Princess Yuankang can only sincerely pray that the youngest daughter must give birth to a son. Only in this way, her future will not be dark and bleak.

No, son...

Princess Yuankang suddenly realized that the prince's son may not be as simple as an ordinary county king...

After a long silence, Xie Xiang slowly said: "Mother, sister, I understand what you said. And I also know that Father is very concerned about the child in my womb, but..."

Even if she gave birth to a son, even if His Majesty really wants to establish a grandson, what does all this mean to her?

Wei Xuan is dead and will never come back. There will never be this person in her life again.

"Axiang, what did you say? You said that His Majesty pays special attention to the child in your womb?" Princess Yuankang keenly grasped the key words in her daughter's words and asked nervously.

Xie Xiang nodded: "Yes, I am pregnant with the first three children, and the Tai Hospital usually asks for a Ping'an pulse once every ten days. But this time, the father has an order to ask for a Ping'an pulse every three days, and the pulse case will be sent directly to the hospital. Before the emperor."

The so-called risk of miscarriage is actually an exaggeration by the imperial physicians, because Wei Ming attaches great importance to this fetus, and they are afraid of any negligence, so they magnify any tiny problem, so that if an accident happens, it will be safe. a rhetoric.

Princess Yuankang stood up, paced back and forth twice in the room, and said in a deep voice, "Ah Xiang, tell the truth, did His Majesty tell you anything?" Normally, father-in-law and widowed daughter-in-law cannot meet each other. But Wei Ming is still Xie Xiang's uncle, so it doesn't matter.

Xie Xiang thought for a while, then said softly: "Father just let me have a baby with peace of mind. If I give birth to a boy, there will be future blessings."

"Axiang, are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid?" Princess Yuankang's tone suddenly became severe, "Your Majesty has already said this to this point, there is no way you can't understand..." Xie Xiang is already the prince It is self-evident what her future blessings will be.

Xie Xiang raised his head, stared blankly at Princess Yuankang, and said for a long time: "Of course I understand what the father is going to do, but I don't know whether the child is a boy or a girl. Even if it is a son, I am not sure that I can safely Guarding him to that position. It is easy to hide with open guns, but hard to guard against with hidden arrows. Even if the prince is plotted against by someone, he still does not know who the real culprit is. How can a newborn child live a safe and smooth life? Rather she was a daughter, like her sisters."

Only after she gave birth to a daughter, as the former crown princess, can she and her children be truly safe. No matter who is in power in the future, even if it is for the sake of fame, they will not deal with their mother and daughter who are not threatening.

Xie Xiu didn't expect Xie Xiang to think of this level, so she didn't say anything now.Indeed, the son of the former prince and the son of an ordinary prince will give the next emperor a completely different feeling. It will be hard to meet a narrow-minded man who will wear shoes for you at any time.

Princess Yuankang calmed down, and comforted her daughter with a pleasant face: "The child has not yet been born, it is too early to say anything now, you should rest at ease and make plans after the child is born."

Back home, Princess Yuankang discussed with her son Xie Qiu for a long time, if Xie Xiang gave birth to the emperor's grandson, would the Xie family have the ability to put him on the throne of the emperor if the emperor intended to enshrine the emperor's grandson.

Xie Qiusi thought about it, and finally frowned and said something like this: "Mother, this matter is very difficult. Even if His Majesty is willing to register a grandson, even if the Xie family devotes all their efforts, the chance of success is not high. .”

Although Xie's family is one of the eight founders of the Song Dynasty, Xie Yi, Empress Xiaoduanming, brought Xie's family to the peak of power, and at the same time opened the prelude to the rapid decline of Xie's family.

After Xie Yi's death, Wei Su spared no effort to attack Duke Song's mansion. If Xie Zhou, the Duke of Song at that time, had not favored Wei Su's sister, Princess Chongqing, it would still be a question of whether their family's title could be preserved.

In Xie Zhou's generation, almost no one in Xie's family became an official, and even Xie Zhou himself had a false title.

Xie Zhou has two sons. The eldest son, Xie Song, was born to his original spouse and inherited his title. He also has no real job.The second son, Xie Bai, was born of the eldest princess of Chongqing. He was granted the title of Marquis of Yichun and honored by the eldest princess of Yuankang, but he has no real job.

In Xie Qiu's generation, his cousins ​​are in the same situation as his father's generation, but this time it's not because of the emperor's suppression, but because of their own lack of ability.Although Xie Qiu himself is excellent, it is a pity that he is single and weak. His strength is far from enough to support the grandson's supremacy.
