Hu Jun retreated in a hurry, Fu Jue led the people to recover the lost counties, and found that those county towns were completely destroyed by Hu Jun. There is not a good house in the house, such a decadent and depressed scene made Fu Jue and others hate the Hu people even more.

After regaining the county seat, Fu Jue led his people to Quyang Pass, and He Zheng took the remaining He family army to Fanyang City. Within a few days, the north and northwest returned to Da Zhou's hands.At the same time, the imperial decree of the saint also arrived. He Zheng was appointed as the new Beiting Jiedu envoy, and his station was changed from Tongzhou to the northwest, while Fu Jue became the governor of Tongzhou.

It turned out that the sage thoroughly investigated the assassination case of Feng Qishan according to the wishes of the officials in the court, and the results proved that Feng Qishan was the culprit of collaborating with the enemy and treason. Fu Jue and Dou Heng were framed. Yuncheng defended the country of the Great Zhou.

The roster and account books found in Feng Qishan's mansion also recorded in detail the facts of his private collusion with the court officials. In addition, the letters between him and King Hu were also found, and the saint was furious , immediately seized Feng Qishan's position, and arrested his entire family and put him in prison. Even though Feng Qishan was dead, the Feng family could not escape the anger of the saint.

In addition, the officials on the roster and account books were naturally disposed of by the sage.

It was only because of Hu Yanlu that the court was cleaned once before, and this time because of Feng Qishan, several ministers with dissenting intentions were found out in the court. The cleaning several times before and after was really not a blessing for the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

As for the imperial decree to promote Fu Jue, it caused an uproar in the whole court. The son-in-law had no real power for many years, and now the sage actually put Fu Jue in the position of governor of Tongzhou. Tongzhou is also a Shangzhou, so Fu Jue, the governor of Tongzhou, also has a third rank, which is higher than other governors of Zhongzhou or Xiazhou.

Kuang Inspector is still in charge of the army of a state, and now the son-in-law not only has power, but also soldiers, which has never happened before.

Therefore, when the saint's imperial decree was sent out, many officials in the court came back to advise the saint, bluntly saying that this was inappropriate and inconsistent with the existing system and etiquette.

However, Dou Chun directly brought up the old rules of the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The son-in-law of the founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and several subsequent son-in-laws were all officials in the court. Deputy Prime Minister.Later, because the reigning sage prevented his relatives from getting bigger and bigger, he gradually took over the power of the son-in-law.

Now in Dou Chun, after several turmoil in the court, there are many fewer people available. If he still sticks to the rules and does not know how to be flexible, then he will miss many talents.Kuang Fu Jue was single-handedly picked up by him, and he didn't reuse it on the bright side in the past, to prevent Mu Xuan from pointing the finger at Fu Jue. Now not only Mu Xuan has been eliminated, but also Hu Yanlu's power has been wiped out. He is just short of people. Time, if you don't put Fu Jue on the bright side at this time, let alone when.

Although it was the first time for a son-in-law to hold military power, compared with the former deputy prime minister in the center of the government, a governor who was released was not so eye-catching, so under Dou Chun's insistence, plus Dou Chun threw away the previous example. In front of the courtiers, the courtiers knew that the saint was determined, so they had to keep their mouths shut and no longer objected.

Dou Wan and He Zheng's sons and daughters also arrived in the northwest with the imperial decree.

Fu Jue was at Quyang Pass waiting for his successor general to guard the pass, so he was still in the north. After returning He Zheng's children to He Zheng, Dou Wan did not go to the north, but went directly to Tongzhou.When Dou Chun decided to send Fu Jue to Tongzhou, he asked Dou Wan what he meant. If Dou Wan didn't want to go with her, Dou Chun would not force her to do so. Don't give up, wherever the son-in-law is, she will be there.

Dou Chun and Zhuo Jingfan admired Dou Wan's tenacity and loyalty, especially Dou Wan was the wife chosen by Dou Chun for Fu Jue. Dou Wan is so good, which means he has vision, and he is worthy of Fu Jue .In addition, because of Dou Wan's sincerity towards Fu Jue, Dou Chun is more satisfied with this younger sister. If he is satisfied in his heart, he will naturally not treat her badly.

After sending Dou Wan away, Dou Chun and Zhuo Jingfan turned back and continued to tidy up the court. At the same time, the little prince was about to enter the prince's study.The little prince is about to be three years old, and has been raised in Zhuo Jingfan's palace with the eldest son Dou Chen. After Concubine Xian passed away due to illness, Zhuo Jingfan took advantage of the situation to leave this poor child behind.

Dou Chun has always been indifferent to the little prince. After all, after knowing Concubine Xian's life experience, he was a little sensitive to the Hu people's blood in the little prince, but this child is also the posthumous son of a saint, and he is Dou Chun's younger brother.Concubine Xian's life experience was covered tightly by them, others would not find out, this child can be raised in the palace as usual.Moreover, King Hu was killed. With the death of King Hu, no one in Hu should know the child's life experience.

The only variable was Tuoba who was still in prison.

Although I feel a little sorry for Tuoba, a man with such a backbone, but different ways do not conspire with each other. Tuoba's strong and iron bones doomed him to be unable to submit to the Great Zhou. Even if he really surrendered, Dou Chun would not dare to reuse and trust him. , so there is only one end for Tuoba - to die.

Hu Yanlu was dead, and Tuoba was useless, so under Dou Chun's instruction, the food sent to Tuoba's cell that night was extremely rich. He also heard the news that King Hu was assassinated, and the little prince he had served was also dead, so he silently picked up his rice bowl and ate the food in big mouthfuls.

When the jailer went to collect the bowls and chopsticks, he saw him still sitting by the wall with his back straight, but his eyes were closed, and a trace of blood was spilling from his lips.The jailer sighed, and then reported the result to Dou Chun. After hearing this, Dou Chun's face remained unchanged, and he waved his hand to let people go down. ...

Yongfan two years

After the turmoil and cleansing of the previous year, the atmosphere in the court is very different now. The courtiers no longer form cliques in private, and they are all conscientious in their errands. In the past, some courtiers who looked down on saints in their hearts, after these three years, no longer dare to Underestimate the saint.

Even when the saint's filial piety expired, no one dared to mention the matter of selection.

They finally understood that the saint is different from the previous emperor. The saint seems to be satisfied with a queen. He has never heard of the saint's servants in the palace.Although everyone was very puzzled in their hearts, they didn't know how capable Mr. Zhuo Lang could be to hold the saint's heart firmly, but it didn't prevent them from supporting Zhuo's family and Mr. Zhuo Lang.

Although it is said that saints are the most evil officials forming a party, many gifts are still sent to Rongqinhou's mansion during the festivals. Rongqinhou's mansion is the former Rongqinguo mansion. I didn't get up either, and I lasted until the beginning of the next year, and finally swallowed it.After Zhuo Rongyong died of illness, Zhuo Erlang took over the title and was demoted to a first class, as a relative of honor.

After Zhuo Rongyong left, Xiao Wanniang was hit hard, and her body weakened rapidly. It seemed that she was going to follow Zhuo Rongyong, so Zhuo Erlang and his wife stayed by the sick bed day and night, serving soup and serving illnesses without pretending to others hand.With Zhuo Erlang's performance like this, his reputation of filial piety also spread.

Zhuo Jingfan in the palace had also heard about it. When Zhuo Rongyong passed away, he felt only a trace of sadness in his heart. Although he was under the skin of "Zhuo Jingfan", it was really difficult for him to feel fetters with the Zhuo family. Since he woke up, the people in Zhuo's mansion have alienated and used him, how can he get close to him.Even at this moment when he heard that Xiao Wanniang was seriously ill, he didn't feel anything in his heart.

But no matter what he thought in his heart, he had to do enough in his posture, so he sent many imperial physicians to treat Xiao Wanniang's illness, and also rewarded many precious medicinal materials, showing that he was very worried about his stepmother.

The queen has expressed her position, and the other clan members have to take action, so the Rongqinhou's mansion keeps receiving medicinal materials and condolences, which is different from the deserted front door.Seeing such a situation, Zhuo Erlang really couldn't express what he felt. He knew that these people came for the empress's sake. Before the empress did not move, everyone was watching, so what if he was a prince of honor, A loose official with only a false title but no real power, and not a serious clan, is nothing.

So since he took over the title, few people came to the Marquis of Rongqin's Mansion. After the queen gave the reward, everyone became warm again. The attitudes that were very different before and after made him feel embarrassed and uncomfortable.

Therefore, on this day, he used the excuse to go out to visit the doctor, and he didn't want to stay in the mansion anymore, looking at those pretentious faces.He took his long entourage to the outskirts of Beijing. He wanted to walk around the White Horse Temple on the mountain, so he could relax. Because he wanted to avoid the crowds, he went up the mountain by another lesser-known path.

Just walking halfway up the mountain, I saw soft cries coming from the pavilion not far ahead.

Zhuo Erlang's heart trembled, he stopped in his tracks, the attendant behind him was very winking, he asked a servant to go up to check, after a while the servant reported back, there was a pair of master and servant in the pavilion, and the crying one was that one maid.Zhuo Erlang is not a nosy person, and he is not easy to get close to his wife as a man, so he planned to go around.

He had just walked a few steps when the maid in the pavilion rushed out, rushed to him and knelt down with a "plop", shouting for help, saying that the lady's ankle was broken, and the people on the mountainside Rarely, it was so difficult to wait for Zhuo Erlang and his party, and asked Zhuo Erlang for help.

The servant girl said in tears, she looked quite pitiful, Zhuo Erlang moved his heart with compassion, and ordered his elder brother to follow him to have a look, while he put his hands behind his back and walked slowly.When he got outside the pavilion, he stopped in his tracks, glanced inside, and saw a woman wearing a veiled hat sitting on a stone pier, her face was hidden by a black veil, but those white hands almost dazzled him. eyes.

His heart skipped a beat and he hastily looked away. Not long after, Chang Sui walked up to him and reported in a low voice: "Master, my lady is seriously injured. If I don't get treatment in time, I'm afraid the root cause of the disease will fall." Zhuo Erlang listened, pondered for a while, and said lightly He said: "So, you take people down the mountain and hire a soft sedan, and go back quickly." Chang Sui took the order and left.

After the long follower left, Zhuo Erlang hesitated for a while, stepped into the pavilion, but did not approach the lady, but said politely: "My lady, don't panic, I have sent someone down the mountain to hire a sedan chair, please wait a moment."

"Thank you, sir." The lady's soft voice pierced into his ears, which made Zhuo Erlang's heart feel itchy and numb. .

After the soft sedan chair arrived, Chang Sui invited the lady over with a wink, so Zhuo Erlang stepped aside and watched the maid and the lady help the lady into the sedan chair. Just as he was about to look away, the lady suddenly lifted her Pulling off the black veil and smiling slightly at him, Zhuo Erlang's gaze was immediately fixed in place. He stared blankly at the lady who had put down the veil and turned around. Listening to the soft voice of the lady, it actually took root in my heart. ...

The chance encounter on that day made Zhuo Erlang lose his mind for several days in a row. His strangeness was naturally noticed by Madam Sun. Madam Sun asked Zhuo Erlang's long-term follower in private to inquire. The long-term follower was warned by Zhuo Erlang He only presumed that he didn't know, and didn't reveal the good thing about Lang Jun's encounter with the pretty lady at all.

A few days later, Zhuo Erlang, who couldn't hold back his thoughts, ran to the suburbs of Beijing again. He rushed to the halfway up the mountain in one breath, and saw that there was no one in the pavilion in front of him. Sitting on the stone pier, I was thinking blankly of the glimpse of that day.

Just when he was about to send someone to ask the bearer where the lady lived, a figure came over from afar.Zhuo Erlang sat up straight, holding his breath as he watched the figure getting closer and closer, and when the other person walked into the pavilion, he jumped up as if he had just woken up from a dream.

"Thank you for your help that day, my concubine thanked you here." Isn't the lady in front of him the one that Zhuo Erlang misses so much?Today the lady is still wearing a veiled hat, but Zhuo Erlang's soul is almost lost by that figure and posture alone. How could he make the lady really salute, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to support the lady, but he thought of the relationship between men and women. In defense, his hand abruptly stopped half an inch away from the lady.

"My lady doesn't need to be so courteous..." His heart beat like a drum, as if a young boy who had just learned about love was actually clumsy in front of his lady, and he fell silent after saying this sentence.

"Mr. Lang is my concubine's great benefactor, even if I let my concubine be an ox or a horse to repay it, it is not an exaggeration." The lady said coquettishly, and then blessed her body, which naturally touched Zhuo Erlang's hand that had not been withdrawn.The lady let out a soft "Oops", she swayed and fell into Zhuo Erlang's arms.

Zhuo Erlang felt a faint fragrance coming to his nostrils, and then there was a mass of softness in his arms, his thoughts were instantly confused, and he didn't know where to put his hands.The lady leaned into Zhuo Erlang's arms, neither panicked nor angry, but said softly: "Mr. Lang, I miss you for many days. I come here every day. Today I can finally see you. I would be willing to let my concubine die immediately..."

The sweetheart's soft body and soft voice made Zhuo Erlang's heart more restless. Although there was still a sliver of clarity in his mind, and he still remembered the grandson in the mansion, but the soft jade was in his arms. Is reluctant to let go.

"Your lord... I know that I am not good enough for my lord. I just want to tell my heart, so I stay away from my lord. Please don't underestimate my concubine. My concubine is just... just... I can't help myself." Seeing that Zhuo Erlang was silent, the lady left his embrace, lifted the black veil covering her face, and looked at Zhuo Erlang affectionately with her beautiful eyes full of sorrow.

Zhuo Erlang was shocked by the words "I can't help it", he felt joy in his heart, it turned out that his wife had the same thoughts as him, but he already had a wife and concubine, if he dominated his wife, he might be wronged, Thinking of this, no amount of heat in his heart was extinguished. A trace of pain flashed in his eyes, and he said lightly: "Miss, you are serious. It will only be a matter of lifting your hands for the next day. Is your foot injury better? If it has not healed, be a good student." Rehabilitation is the only thing, don't go up the mountain again at Sunrise Mansion."

There was a flash of astonishment in the lady's eyes, and she was a little puzzled. She could feel the fascination and love of the other party. She threw herself into her arms and said it so plainly, but how could the other party react like this?She bit her lip, and when she was about to act bolder, Zhuo Erlang had already taken a step back, bowed his hands to her and left.

The lady was stunned in place, looking at the back of the person walking away, her face was very ugly, at this moment, the servant girl who was hiding aside came up and said softly: "My lady, why didn't this Zhuo Erlang take the bait?"

"How do I know." The lady said angrily, the gentleness and submissiveness that she had just pretended to be gone in an instant, the maid pondered for a while, and then said in a low voice: "The servant girl sees that the gentleman is clearly thinking about the lady, will you?" It will be the aunt in the mansion who is strict."

"You mean Zhuo Erlang is a soft man who is afraid of his wife?" The lady raised her eyebrows and asked suspiciously.

"Your servant has heard that some time ago, Rongqinhou's mansion released a group of maidservants, all of whom were well-groomed. If Mrs. Hou didn't tolerate others, how could they be driven out of the mansion?" said the maidservant.

"I didn't expect such a stalwart handsome gentleman to be such a wimp who is afraid of his wife." The lady curled her lips, her tone full of pity.

On the other side, Zhuo Erlang who hurried down the mountain was also uneasy.

For the first time in his life, he felt such a strong temptation. Although he knew that the woman's behavior was reckless, but he couldn't bear to blame the other party in his heart, and he frequently found reasons for the other party. bottom of my heart.Afterwards, no matter how bored he was, he never went up the mountain again, but Madam Sun had a feeling for his abnormality, Zhuo Erlang was her husband, coupled with the woman's sensitivity and intuition, let her know that there must be someone in his heart .

This cognition made Sun Niangzi not only bitter in her heart, but also bitter in her mouth. She married Zhuo Erlang, served Aweng and Aweng's family filially for him, and presided over the birth of children, and took care of Zhuo's family. Next, at the end of the day, only in exchange for her husband's heart, how could she be reconciled.

Only Mrs. Sun is not a noisy person, so she pretended not to notice, and began to investigate her husband's whereabouts in private. After a few days of work, she finally managed to dig out the truth about the encounter on the mountain.When she found out, she was so angry that her hands and feet trembled. Is such a dissolute lady worthy of Zhuo Erlang's attention?

Moreover, the place where the two met was strange, and the timing was also strange. Didn't Zhuo Erlang become suspicious?Which family of unmarried girls would go to the mountains with only one maid?And which family of unmarried girls would smile at a stranger who has never met?How is this style different from the fans in the yard?Zhuo Erlang was blinded by such pretentiousness!

If Zhuo Erlang didn't investigate, it doesn't mean Mrs. Sun would not investigate either. She sent someone to investigate the lady thoroughly, but she didn't realize that the lady was really a young lady with a clean background.

The little lady's surname is Chang, she is the niece of Mrs. Shangmujian. After her parents passed away, she went to Beijing to join her aunt.

Although Shangmujian is an official from the fifth rank, he is actually responsible for raising horses and has no real power in his hands. It is not difficult to explain why Shangmujian's wife's niece wants to follow Zhuo Erlang.No matter what Zhuo Erlang said, he was a prince of honor, and he had a brother who was a queen on his head. He was more promising than the son of Shang Mu Jian.

It turned out that Mrs. Shang Mujian wanted her niece to take her in when she saw her niece was helpless. Although being a concubine was better than suffering outside, and with her aunt here, she was not afraid of her son and wife embarrassing her niece.

It's just that she made good plans, but she didn't know that the niece brought back by her husband is actually a fake and has great uses. ...

The news that Mrs. Shang Mujian's niece was having an affair with Marquis Rong suddenly spread throughout the capital.As the person involved in the incident, Zhuo Erlang was so bitter that he almost vomited blood.He has never met the niece of Mrs. Shangmujian's wife, how could he have an affair with her?

And because of these unfounded rumors, Mrs. Sun actually spoke coldly to him, and even turned a cold face at him all day long. Giving up on his sweetheart already made him feel extremely bad, and the wives and concubines in the mansion were so angry that they made him I miss home more and more, and spend more and more time hanging around outside.

On this day, the letter of greeting from Shang Mujian was sent to his desk. Zhuo Erlang didn't want to see him at first, but he felt that the delay of the matter would hurt his reputation, so he still met him.

Unexpectedly, Shang Mujian didn't come alone, and there was a lady behind him, Zhuo Erlang's eyes straightened when he saw the lady, Shang Mujian was secretly happy when he saw this, and hurriedly introduced his niece to Zhuo Erlang.Zhuo Erlang's eyes widened immediately, and he said in a voiceless voice, "Are you the niece of the supervisor?"

"I've met Mr. Lang." The lady saluted softly and greeted Zhuo Erlang's soul again.

Afterwards, I don't know what Shang Mujian and Zhuo Erlang talked about, after Shang Mujian left Rongqinhou's mansion, Zhuo Erlang went to the main courtyard.That night, Zhuo Erlang and Mrs. Sun had a serious conflict. Although they were not inseparable after they got married, they were still very affectionate. She intervened, which broke Madam Sun's heart.

As for the movement of the Zhuo Mansion, someone hastily sent it into the palace early the next morning.
