When a passerby becomes a princess

The words of a few hooligans silenced the hall for a few seconds, and then everyone's expressions changed.

The generals wished they could smash these ruffians with their fists, lest they say that it was the princess who instigated them to burn down the academy. After all, He Hua sent people to spread rumors that the princess was burning down the academy, which is only normal.

The civil servants have another thought, don't look at the literati who always talk about "loyalty, filial piety, righteousness, propriety, righteousness and shame", but as long as they get into the officialdom, they can even get into the court, and how many of them are clean, Daliang Although no one in the country except Liang Xi knows what the 36 tactics of war are, these civil servants probably have already researched the 72 tactics of officialdom.

It took a month from the smashing of the first branch of He Family Academy to the burning of the main courtyard in the capital. If He Family Academy didn't react at the beginning, it is possible that several branches were smashed.But the branch that was smashed later still didn't have any protective measures, which made people a little confused.As for the burned main courtyard, although it was at the foot of the emperor, but because it was deep in the woods outside the city, if it hadn't been burned, it would not have caused the court to shake.

So the civil servants all secretly thought, could it be that the burning of the academy was a trick of the He family?It's just that this is even more unreasonable, what is the He family's trouble with the Crown Princess, that they want to destroy the General Court to suppress him?You must know that the He Family Academy has been passed down for nearly a thousand years. The General Academy is not only a place for teaching, but also a symbol of the cultural inheritance of the He Family and even the Daliang Kingdom.

However, the facts are far from what civil servants and military generals thought. The person who bribed these ruffians was a servant of the He family, and this servant was the dowry maid of He Hua's original wife, but when this servant was brought in, what was said But it took everyone by surprise.

He Hua's original wife's surname is Huang. Although her family background is not high, she is also from a scholarly family. Huang's grandfather once taught He Hua how to play the piano, so he can be regarded as half of He Hua's master.

When Huang married He Hua, she was only 12 years old. It was originally agreed that the house would be consummated in a few years, but on the wedding night, He Hua forced Huang to consummate the house, and even married her two children who were under ten years old. The girl was ruined.The maid who bribed the ruffians was a needlework maid, because she was a little older and had a normal appearance, so she escaped He Hua's murderous hands.

Huang's character is cowardly and dare not speak up, and after being threatened by He Hua, she didn't even reveal a word when she returned to her mother's house.

Within a year, Huang was found to be pregnant.

At the beginning, He Hua promised the Huang family to consummate the marriage when Huang was 16 years old, but Huang was pregnant before she was 13. If the news spread, He Hua's reputation would be hit in the eyes. This kind of thing is natural for He Hua is unwilling.

In fact, not only He Hua was unwilling, but even the Patriarch of the He family could not agree.He Hua is the son of the legitimate son, and has been raised as the next head of the He family since he was a child. It would be fine if it was from another family, but the He family is the representative of the Liang people. Letter" is enough to drive He Hua into the dust.

Huang was forced to drink abortion pills. She lost her child at a young age. If she rested for a while, she might be able to recover slowly. However, He Hua always liked young children. Seeing Huang's pale face With a delicate appearance, how could she let her go... Just like that, Huang's family was aborted one after another. In the end, He Hua felt that this was too troublesome, and even gave her the Juezi soup.

The physical pain may be able to persist, but the pressure of taking Juezi Tang was unbearable for Huang. She became more and more haggard day by day, and died of illness when she was less than 16 years old.

This incident was quite a big deal back then. It wasn't that the Huang family knew the cause of Huang's death and made a fuss, but that He Hua decided not to marry another wife in order to show respect for her original wife. The position of Huang has always been reserved for the Huang family, which moved the Huang family very much.

It wasn't until the maid said this in the hall that everyone knew that there was such a thing behind it.

Speaking of which, this maid is also capable. Most of Huang's dowry maids were forced to be buried by He Hua back then, leaving only the two little maids whom he couldn't help spoiling on their wedding night. , but when they got older, they were also killed by He Hua.Only this sewing girl, who was taken to her room by He Hua's mother because of her good sewing skills, survived.

This servant girl hated He Hua very much. Because she was in the old lady's room, her eyes and eyes were naturally easier than the other maids. Some time ago, she heard the rumor that "the princess is a monster", and she knew that this rumor was caused by He Hua. She said it, and heard about the smashing of the branch, and knew that this was an opportunity for revenge, so she took out her savings for many years and invited a few hooligans to burn Hejia Academy. She knew that the only way to make this matter big Only then did He Hua have the opportunity to make He Hua's dirty things public. For a person like He Hua, losing his heart is worse than letting him die.

At that moment, the servant girl told all the things He Hua had done in the hall, word by word, in a voice like weeping, which made many civil servants turn pale.

Speaking of which, this is also a characteristic of the Daliang Kingdom. Because the military generals were on the frontier battlefields in the early years, they were a little more particular, and they came back to date and get married. Those married with wine, so many generals married male wives. Even if they came back to get married, they would try their best to find an adult wife, so that they could leave their children immediately and continue to return to the border.Even after returning, because they were unable to accompany their wives and family members when they were away in the early years, their gratitude to their wives made them rarely take concubines, let alone play with their young ones.

But civil servants are different. Many civil servants have wives and concubines in groups, with countless houses, and there are handsome servants, book boys and others to entertain their boredom.For these civil servants, playing with a few children is really nothing.

However, that Huang family is different from ordinary playthings. She is the original wife, a real wife who carries a big sedan chair to welcome her in. He Hua treats her like a plaything, not only making her abort one after another, but also making her drink. The Juezi soup only used by women in brothels, this is the most criticized part of him.

Because Daliang Kingdom is surrounded by four enemies, countless people are killed and injured on the battlefield every year, so the population problem has always been a top priority. In principle, Daliang Kingdom is against abortion, and even medical clinics absolutely do not allow the sale of abortion drugs. People who abort babies and take Juezi decoction are looked down upon and considered to be as immoral as prostitutes, but He Hua, a well-known scholar and the future ruler of the He family, did such things.

"Whispering" A civil servant's face flushed red. He also studied in the He Family Academy and has a good relationship with He Hua. If what this maid said is true, don't implicate him.

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Jian came out and said angrily, "Yes! How can you, a little girl, talk nonsense about things without evidence."

All the civil servants nodded repeatedly, only Sun Shangshu and Lin Baiweng's son-in-law looked at him strangely.

While wiping her tears, the servant girl took out a tightly wrapped envelope from her bosom, uncovered the pink satin wrapped outside, held the envelope high above her head, and said, "Your Majesty, the little girl just wants to do something for my family." The young lady took revenge, but she absolutely dare not lie to the emperor, this is a handwritten letter written by my young lady before she died, and the emperor will know it at a glance."

Out of respect for the deceased Huang, Liang Honglie did not let someone read it in the hall, but asked Wang Qian to take it over. After checking that it was not poisonous, he unfolded the letter paper carefully. This letter was written by Huang to his parents. It is written about her miserable life in the He family, how the He family forced her to beat the child, how He Hua forced her to drink the soup, etc., and then talked about some trivial things in daily life.

Although Liang Honglie took it seriously, he was not interested in such a weak and deceitful woman. In his opinion, a woman should be like Queen Chu. Even if he left home to revolt back then, Queen Chu could still protect herself and protect her Good boy, don't just know how to cry there.

But when he saw a certain place in the back, his brows frowned, and the more he looked, the more ugly his face became. In the end, he stood up abruptly, and said loudly to Lin Bo, "Take it down, secret interrogation!"

"Sir, obey the order."

Everyone's faces were ugly, mainly because Liang Honglie's expression was too scary just now. The last time Concubine Feng had an affair and became pregnant, Liang Honglie's expression was not as scary as it is now. What was written in that letter?

All kinds of rumors in the capital suddenly fell silent, as quiet as the eve of a storm, many people were waiting quietly.

But at this time, Beimo County in Northern Xinjiang is a bustling scene.

On the eve of the Chinese New Year, Liang Xi returned from outside the pass with a raid battalion. They went deep into the grassland for more than 300 miles, expelled and slaughtered seven small tribes, rescued more than 40 slaves kidnapped from the Liang Kingdom, and robbed... cough cough , won a lot of spoils, including two thousand horses, and a large number of cattle and sheep.

Although the raid battalion won a lot of victories this time, Liang Xi has maintained a low pressure since the day he came back, and he rarely showed a smile even to Lin Qiu.

You must know that Liang Xi is a person who can entertain himself even when he is lying on the bed and cannot move after being hit by a board, so Lin Qiu began to feel worried. He asked Mother Liu to ask Zhang Shu for help. It turned out that they found a large number of Liang people's corpses in the tribes of the Hu country, and they were all preserved and eaten in winter.

After hearing this, Lin Qiu hugged the little prince Liang Yu and sat in the room for a long time. When he came out, he asked someone to call the head of Beimo County, and gave him a promotional material for holding the New Year's Lantern Festival, as well as various instructions on how to hold the Lantern Festival. details.He also called Zhang De'er, who had just returned from the capital, and gave him information on how to make fireworks and firecrackers, and asked him to immediately find a craftsman to make fireworks and firecrackers.

This year's New Year, Beimo County held the first New Year's Lantern Festival in Daliang Kingdom's history. Countless fireworks bloomed in the night sky, and the loud sound of firecrackers shook the mountains.

Liang Xi held Lin Qiu's hand, and stood beside a riddle palace lantern at the Lantern Festival, thinking hard.

"This hemp room, red curtains, and a fat white man sleeping in it... Could it be that guy Xiao Yu?"
