After I became a widow

Because of the snowstorm in Mizhou, the grievances between the Liu and Tang families ended quietly. Not many people even watched the beheading of the male son of the Liu family. Feel suffocated.

It is the kind of boredom that has nowhere to say.

The snow disaster had nothing to do with the Tang family, no one in the family mentioned it, but their faces were all ugly.

After hearing the news of the Liu family's death, the Tang family sat opposite each other, no one said a word with sullen faces.

After a long while, Tang Xicheng said, "Okay, this is the end of the matter, the emperor has given Xu'er justice, who are you still showing a straight face?"

"Are you afraid that if it gets out, people will say that our Tang family is dissatisfied with the emperor's treatment?"

"It's not that we have any objections to the emperor's handling, we just blame the coincidence of the news of the snow disaster."

In fact, if there was no snowstorm, others would not be comfortable hearing Tang Xu's death from being trampled by a horse. It means that everyone knows that Tang Xu is a useless person. They were equally distressed.

But there was no discussion at all, and it made people feel that Tang Xu's life was cut off by a horse. In order to seek justice for Tang Xu, it seemed unimportant that they let the Liu family die.

To put it bluntly, it just didn't get enough attention, and no one praised their Tang family's ability, so they couldn't get up and down, and felt depressed.

"It's all here, what else can I do," Tang Xicheng was not satisfied with the result, but when it happened, there was nothing he could do.

"Father, maybe it's not a coincidence?" Tang Tuo, who was sitting next to him, said.

Tang Xicheng looked at him, "Why, what did His Royal Highness King Yi say to you?"

Tang Tuo shook his head, "No, I just thought that after King Huai went to the camp in the suburbs of Beijing, he never returned to the city until the news of the snow disaster came."

"Perhaps Duke Huai is behind the scenes, even the younger brother's injury."

Tang Xu himself refused to say, but there were quite a few people on the street on the day of the accident, and they could find out what they wanted with some money.

Tang Xu was indeed pushed down in the middle of the road. Although he couldn't see the man's face clearly, many people left the city after seeing him push him.

Tang Tuo expressed his own analysis, "The big camp in the suburbs of Beijing is outside the city, and my younger brother also said that it was my fault that he did this. I guess this should be Luo Lingchuan's handwriting."

They poisoned Luo Lingchuan and almost killed him. Previously, Luo Lingchuan had to take care of the [-] garrisons and had to bear it all the time, but now that Xiao Beihuai came back, with someone backing him, Luo Lingchuan counterattacked.

Hearing this name, Tang Xicheng's expression was a little ugly. He didn't get rid of him, but hurt himself instead.

"However, how could you take revenge on your brother?" Madam Tang interjected, "Your brother is neither an official nor a threat to them. How could such a thing happen to him?"

In her opinion, if Luo Lingchuan wants to take revenge, he should choose her master or the eldest son.

Although this idea sounds unpleasant, it makes sense when you think about it carefully. Let alone Tang Xu's abolishment, even if Tang Xu died, it would not have much impact on the Tang family.

But if it were the mainstays like Tang Xicheng and Tang Tuo, if anyone was killed or injured, the Tang family would be hurt.

Tang Tuo's eyes flashed, and he made a ridiculous guess, "Maybe it's because my younger brother once had an enmity with Princess Huai."

To be precise, Tang Xu led a group of people to unilaterally provoke Su Jingqing in an attempt to humiliate him.

It still happened when I was in the academy. Su Jingqing didn't like dealing with people, he was dull and timid, and he didn't study well. The husband didn't like it. Except for Song Zecheng from the Song family, other classmates didn't get along well with him.

Tang Xu and the others didn't like Su Jingqing's difference, so they wanted to torment him. At first, they asked people to put some dead mice, snakes, etc. on Su Jingqing's seat. Su Jingqing was not frightened, and knew who the mice were After releasing it, he threw the mouse on Tang Xu.

Tang Xu couldn't bear this, ordered someone to throw Su Jingqing's homework into the water, and tried to kick Su Jingqing into the pond for him to fish for himself.

Su Jingqing responded with an eye for an eye, but failed to let them succeed.

Later, Tang Xu got some women's bellybands from somewhere and put them in Su Jingqing's books, causing Su Jingqing to be severely reprimanded by his wife who didn't like him at all, and said that he would drive Su Jingqing out of the academy.

Enraged, Su Jingqing beat Tang Xu in front of his master, and stuffed Tang Xu's belly pocket into his mouth.

Since then, Su Jingqing never went to the academy again, and Su Qi'an ran to the palace to complain with a shy face. After the matter was found out, the wife who reprimanded Su Jingqing was kicked out of the academy and lost his official position.

Tang Xu was also severely punished by Tang Xicheng.

Since then, Tang Xu has held a grudge against Su Jingqing and the Su family, and tried to trouble Su Jingqing from time to time.

But Su Jingqing didn't like to go out, so he didn't let him find a chance, and he didn't dare to provoke Su Qi'an, the Marquis, so he set his sights on Su Mingyan, the second son of the Su family.

Su Mingyan looks pleasing, has a sweet mouth, and looks soft and easy to bully. Tang Xu even planned to have Su Mingyan kowtow to him on his knees and call him grandpa, and ask Su Mingyan to admit his mistake on behalf of Su Jingqing.

As a result, the two sides bumped into Yi Wang when they were arguing. Tang Xu failed to teach the adults, but Su Mingyan fell into Yi Wang's eyes. Su Mingyan didn't look very smart, but he used Yi Wang's hand to clean up Tang Xu several times. .

In the matter of bullying the Su family brothers, Tang Xu took the lead, and Tang Xu took all the losses.

The only thing Tang Xu accomplished was probably to belittle Su Jingqing in front of King Yi, successfully making King Yi hate Su Jingqing.

Of course, there are some things that Tang Tuo doesn't know, for example, why would a dignified prince think of giving Su Jingqing a slap in the face, sending people to a flower house to be abused, using such obscene means.

But if something is done, there will be traces, and people will always find out.

Luo Lingchuan is Duke Huai's military adviser, and he obeys Duke Huai. Duke Huai wants to show his anger for his princess, or maybe Su Jingqing blew the wind around his pillow and successfully made Duke Huai focus on Tang Xu. In the end, Luo Lingchuan used Luo Lingchuan's hand to murder Tang Xu, Tang Tuo thought it was possible.

"No way?" Madam Tang was full of doubts, "Duke Huai is not a person who will act on his own will."

Tang Xicheng didn't believe it either, "Princess Huai is a man, and Duke Huai is not so confused."

Seeing that his parents didn't believe him, Tang Tuo didn't continue to struggle with this theory.

He said: "I'm just guessing, but it must be Luo Lingchuan who plotted against my younger brother. Father, this person cannot be left behind."

It is not important for whom to target their Tang family, what is important is that Duke Huai wants to touch their Tang family.

Tang Xicheng nodded, "I know, I will send a letter to the Luo family, asking them to bring Luo Lingchuan home."

Now Luo Lingchuan is huddled in the big camp on the outskirts of Beijing, they can't touch him, they have to lure him out.

"While Duke Huai is leaving the capital, get rid of Luo Lingchuan first, and then bring back the garrison."

Tang Xi deliberately planned to let Mrs. Tang take care of the younger son, leaving the eldest son behind closed doors to discuss how to deal with those generals who obeyed King Huai's orders in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing.

It's because people have weaknesses, and it's better to work on them.

Mrs. Tang went to see Tang Xu. Tang Xu was lying on the bed with a gloomy face, and all the servants who served him were kneeling by the bed and palming their mouths. They had been beating for an unknown amount of time, and their faces were all swollen.

Seeing her youngest son like this, Mrs. Tang felt uncomfortable, she didn't ask what happened, she just let the servant who was clapping her mouth back down, she sat by the bed and talked to Tang Xu, "Xu'er, does it still hurt?"

Tang Xu ignored her.

Mrs. Tang covered her eyes with a handkerchief, and wanted to cry again.

All the imperial physicians in the palace and famous doctors outside the palace have come to see him, and they all said that there is no cure, and her good son is really useless.

"Cry, cry, cry, what else can you do besides cry?"

Before Mrs. Tang burst into tears, Tang Xu spoke, and his eyes were filled with disgust.

Mrs. Tang sniffed slightly, "Mother, don't cry. Mother is here to talk to you about something serious. Your elder brother guessed just now that the person who hurt you may be Su Jingqing. He still remembers your hatred for bullying him back then."

Although Mrs. Tang did not believe that Duke Huai would stand up against her youngest son because of Su Jingqing, she hated Su Jingqing for making her son have something to do. If she cheered herself up, then even if it was fake, it would come true.

Seeing that the expression on her son's face turned into anger, and the hatred in his eyes was ready to express, Mrs. Tang felt that it was effective, so she continued to persuade, "He has an unusual status now, and he is not like he used to be bullied casually. You have to take care of him." Only when you are healthy can you find a chance to take revenge."

The hatred in Tang Xu's eyes became more obvious. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "You're right, I have to take good care of myself to kill that bitch!"

Almost every word came out from between her teeth. Mrs. Tang didn't feel that this was wrong at all, but she was very relieved, and hurriedly ordered people to bring medicine and food. The rest is not important, as long as her son is willing to take care of himself.

Tang Xu was willing to cooperate, so that Mrs. Tang's previous depression disappeared, leaving only happiness.

Tang Xicheng, who had finished discussing important matters with his eldest son, also had a long-lost smile on his face when he heard that his younger son was willing to drink medicine and eat.

Only Tang Tuo frowned after hearing how his mother persuaded his younger brother.

With Su Jingqing holding his hand, he naturally hoped that something would happen to Su Jingqing, but this person was not easy to deal with.

Tang Tuo only hoped that the snow disaster in Mizhou would be more troublesome, and dragged Huai Wang back later.

In order to make things in the capital a foregone conclusion as soon as possible, whether it is the military power of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, or Princess Huai, whom his younger brother wants to deal with.

……

Prince Huai Mansion

When Xiao Beihuai returned to the mansion, he entered the palace without the stool warming up.

When he came out of the palace, he had to go to order soldiers, go to the imperial hospital to order the accompanying imperial physicians, go to the city to summon the doctors who were willing to go to Mizhou, and arrange other things. dinner.

Then Su Jingqing urged him to go to bed early, and he was about to leave the next day.

Coming back in a hurry, leaving in a hurry, this year Su Jingqing is destined to live alone.

The next day, after sending the disaster relief team out of the city, Su Jingqing went back to Su's house and borrowed the Eighteen Arhats that his father had prepared for him to go around to do shopping.

Whenever there is a disaster, there will be people who make money for the country. The snowstorm is too heavy. It is impossible to buy food, cloth or medicinal materials from Mizhou. They can only buy them from other places and send them to Mizhou. He has to save one for Xiao Beihuai. Road, so that he would not be forced to the point where he could not move an inch by those people in the court.

After returning to the mansion, he summoned Uncle Zhong Chang Rong and others, and ordered them to keep an eye on the movement in Beijing and count the money in the palace, just in case.

Next, Su Jingqing asked someone to deliver a letter to Daying on the outskirts of Beijing, and Luo Lingchuan asked the messenger to bring back two pigeons to ensure timely delivery of news inside and outside the city.

They all knew that as long as Xiao Beihuai was not in the capital, there would be people who wanted to seize military power, so they had to guard against them.

After Su Jingqing was busy for two days, he took another post from Zisu from the palace.

An invitation card for a Qunfang Banquet.

Zi Su looked at Su Jingqing and said, "Princess, this is given to you by the emperor. If the prince is not here, the emperor will let you go to the banquet."

Zisu's expression was smug and mixed with some sadness and boredom, it looked quite complicated.

The pride is probably because the emperor asked her to pass the invitation card, which proved her status as a servant girl arranged by the emperor to serve Xiao Beihuai.

As for being sad and bored, Su Jingqing guessed that it had something to do with the purpose of the emperor asking him to go to the banquet.

The invitation was not written, and Zisu didn't intend to tell him when she looked at it, so Su Jingqing casually put the invitation aside, and said calmly, "Got it."

Zi Su didn't leave, but looked at Su Jingqing fixedly.

Su Jingqing asked again, "Is there anything else?"

Zi Su said, "Don't you want to know why the emperor sent the princess to the Qunfang Banquet?"

Su Jingqing pursed her lips, "You can't choose a wife for me to continue the incense for my Su family."

"So, what to do, does it matter?"

Zisu was choked, her face became ugly, she opened her mouth to say something, but she didn't say anything in the end, she just left a sentence for Su Jingqing rather angrily, "Wait until the day of the Qunfang Banquet, I hope the princess can still It’s good to be able to laugh.”

"Then let Miss Zisu give me a good word," Su Jingqing had already picked up the tea.

Zisu snorted, went out, and was complained by Siyan that she didn't know how to close the door when she went out, and that she didn't know how to be a maid.

And when the door was closed, Siyan began to worry about Su Jingqing, "Princess, this group of banquets is for King Yi to choose a princess. The emperor asked you to go, so I can't let you help King Yi hold eyes. Concubine Zhong Gui is still alive, so there is no way it will be your turn."

"Not for Xiao Yunyi's eye palm, but for..."

Su Jingqing guessed the meaning behind this invitation.

I didn't feel surprised, maybe no matter how ridiculous the emperor did, he wouldn't be surprised.

After all, he is the Son of Heaven, no matter whether he wants to be a lover or a loving father, as long as he is willing, he can do whatever he wants.

Su Jingqing looked at the post lying quietly on the table, and laughed ironically.

"Look, no matter what happens outside, as long as the knife doesn't fall into this capital city, there won't be any change here," the prince should choose no less than one concubine.

Even the emperor was very worried about his eldest son who was going to relieve the disaster.

Su Jingqing thought, when Xiao Beihuai came back, he would ask Xiao Beihuai if he was tired.

It seems that there are only a few people who really care about the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and the huge Yong Dynasty.

This morning, hope to continue tomorrow!
