The husband's son-in-law

On the first day of the fifth year of Tianshun, in the palace of the capital.

It started snowing in the thirties of the new year, and it fell on and off for two days, and it didn't stop until today.Just after Yin time, the little eunuchs in several gates of the palace started to sweep the snow with brooms, their hands were red and swollen from the cold, and they wanted to stop to get warm, but they were scolded.

"What are you doing! Hurry up and slip away."

The little eunuch didn't dare to stop, and his subordinates continued to sweep the snow, he couldn't help sighing in his heart, but fortunately he was on duty today, the snow stopped, unlike the previous two days, when he finished sweeping and looked back, there was a thick layer of snow again.

But when it moves, it will be hot and smoke after a while.

The snow had swept to two lanes, leaving it for the noble master to go. It was still bright, and the eunuchs heard the bell of the luan sedan chair, and the eunuchs knelt down one after another—these rootless eunuchs were not even qualified to greet the master. No, I just knelt quietly and waited for the nobleman to leave.

The third time the luan sedan was carried away, the eunuchs got up and continued to work. Looking at the direction of the luan sedan, they couldn't help but beam with joy, thinking in their hearts, the Holy Majesty is really a dragon-horse spirit, and there were only three of them in one night.

Last year's general election, the palace was filled a lot. Most of the dignified women were girls of the right age from the families of officials above the fifth rank. With their family background, talent and appearance, most of them were named Jieyu and moved into the side halls of the empresses of the palaces. It is graded.

The other part lived in the Spring Garden - this garden was originally a theater building, built by the Holy Majesty the year before last, and now it is very magnificent, and it has been expanded. The showmen who entered the palace after the general election last year entered this place.

These beautiful people are beauties from all over the world - the father of the family is not an official, or ordinary white people, or merchants. The Garden of Spring is determined by Emperor Tianshun's preferences.

Therefore, since the appointment was made last year, the Holy Majesty liked to go to the Spring Garden very much, and sometimes he would send luan sedan chairs to pick up the beauties from the Spring Garden to the Zichen Palace, and usually he would not choose one person.

If it was a nobleman who was born as an official lady, Emperor Tianshun would not be so reckless because he had scruples - he dared to make a fuss last night, and the next day there was a copy of the doctor's advice on the desk.For these playthings of Israeli servants, most of the previous courts would not open their mouths to offend the Holy Majesty.

It's just a few women.

Nowadays, Emperor Shun loves to linger in the Spring Garden even more, and girls are not included now. Some time ago, someone presented a beauty to Emperor Tian Shun, who is a brother.The Tian family favored heirs, and the late Emperor didn't like his elder brother when he was there, so there was no habit of this elder brother showing off others in the palace. Today, Emperor Shun loved his elder brother a lot after he got a new one.

At night, I often ask two beauties and a brother to accompany me.

All in all it was fun.

Last year, Fengzhou's side-by-side king came to the capital, and Emperor Tianshun ran away with his people. When he came back, he heard Taifu Lin forced him to die, and persuaded the second child to retire. Emperor Tianshun was even moved, saying that he should not play After working hard, the Spring Garden was built in the same year. After the beauties lived in it, I lost my heart in the government.

Faced with Taifu Lin's exhortation, Emperor Tianshun asked Taifu Lin to take a good rest and not to be tired.

The jar was broken.

Emperor Tianshun often drank and indulged in beauty, and vented his emotions by hugging these beauties who were afraid of him and feared him. These beauties had no power in their families. What do you care about the former power?

Sometimes I get very drunk and talk in my sleep, which roughly means that the second child will come back sooner or later, and I can enjoy myself sitting on the throne for a few days, so I have to learn what to be afraid of.

However, in the second half of the year, the Fourteenth in Rongzhou first killed the new king of Nanyi, and then beat Nanyi down. The two great news made Emperor Tianshun feel a little bit more energetic——

Sitting tremblingly on the dragon chair, I often had nightmares, dreaming that the co-principal king beheaded him with a sword, so that he indulged and had fun when he was in danger. Now, it is the second child and the fourteenth dog biting the dog. Maybe he can still Do it for a few more years without dying.

The Zhao family is dead, the second child will definitely not let him go, and will definitely kill him for revenge.Emperor Tianshun knew it well, so he was often frightened, and then he liked to drink for fun.

Years ago, Emperor Tianshun rarely worked hard for more than a month—Xiaochaohui was not late or left early, and the memorial was also corrected.

Some veteran officials in the imperial court were quite relieved to see him, and felt that the Holy Majesty had grown up.

Prince Cheng often enters the palace to accompany him, and he heard Emperor Tianshun talk about Fourteen is good.

"Fifth brother, do you think Fourteen can kill the second child, and when the second child is gone, won't my position be worry-free?"

Prince Cheng first said meekly: "My lord, the second child is a rebel who has been fighting all the year round. Now that he is old, he will lose to the young fourteenth brother—"

"Yes, yes, there is also a reason for this, the second child's traitor can be boiled to death." Emperor Tianshun was very happy when he heard it.

Immediately following the change of Prince Cheng's voice, "I'm afraid that the fourteenth brother is young and vigorous, and the military power is in his hands. When the time comes, he will become the second child."

"That's not going to happen." Emperor Tianshun said casually and also despised, "It's not that you and I don't know the bastard. I didn't dare to say shit after being taught by me before. I only know how to hide, but it's easy to use. Wait for it. It's over..."

How to use it up, I didn't say it directly, but everyone knew it well.

Prince Cheng praised Shengshang Shengming, "I was worrying too much." He sighed again, "I always think about what happens. If people are not in front of me, who knows if it will change if I monopolize the power."

Emperor Tianshun waved his hand, "Fifth brother, you should quit your overthinking problem. You always procrastinate. You have to think twice and think twice about everything. You have to think about it. What kind of good thing is in front of you? You can't catch it. gone?"

"A minister is not as good as a sage." Prince Cheng bowed his head and said pleasingly.

The matter was abandoned, and within two days, Emperor Tianshun issued a decree, ordering the envoy to go to Rongzhou to send a message, and recruit fourteen into the palace for the New Year.Emperor Tianshun is not stupid after all, although he is contemptuous and despise the bastard Fourteen in his heart, but it is still useful, and Fourteen has just made a great contribution, and he said in the imperial decree that he is very close to his family, he misses his younger brother, Fourteenth brother hurry up Go home for the New Year, and I will confer titles on you.

Fourteen is still the prince, without even a title.

When Prince Cheng heard the news about the spies, he curled his lips and smiled firmly. He is an idiot brother, but he is afraid of taking responsibility after doing something reckless, and he will not be able to sleep after thinking about it, and then he will listen to him.

Fourteen, that bastard, of course he can't move now, and he still wants to see Fourteen fight with his second child. Let Fourteen come back this time, just to bury the thread for the idiot sixth, laying it on the ground little by little, slowly, densely Yes, if Fourteen wins in the future, then the thread will be involved, and let the sixth child know that Fourteen has long had the intention of rebelling-if he doesn't have it, he must have it.

Who would serve the sixth son after killing a great general?

If Fourteen loses to the second child and dies, that would be even better, let the second child kill him...

About ten li away from the capital city, there was a team of twenty or so people on horseback, all wearing armor and with knives pinned to their waists.

Nothing else, Rong Ye said yesterday that he was not going to Beijing when he was passing by the small town where he was resting, "I'll wait here for you to come back."

"That's fine, those things in Beijing will save you from making you unhappy." Li Wubing said.

Rong Ye said several times that he came out of Li Mansion, there is no need to hide his identity, no matter what Fourteen said, the prince does not need to call him brother, but Fourteen is still the same, and Rong Ye stopped talking later, too lazy to waste words.

"When you go to Beijing, I'm afraid that His Majesty will deliberately make things difficult for you. Don't get angry, and bear with everything you can—" Rong Ye was still a little worried at this time, but he really didn't want to go to Beijing, at least it wasn't suitable at this time.

Even if he entered the capital in disguise and went to the palace, if he was recognized by others, it would be bad for him to cause trouble, it would be better for him to wait here.

"I've been able to pretend to be a coward and be bullied since I was a child, don't worry bro." Fourteen said.

Rong Ye frowned when he heard that, thinking of the days when he was studying in the palace, Fourteen was always bullied, he said: "The situation is stronger than others, we just tolerate it for the time being, and wronged you."

"I know, I don't worry about it." Fourteen smiled, and said in a childish manner, "Brother, wait for me to come back early to pick you up, and let's go back to Rongzhou for the New Year."

"It's too late to go back, the year is over." Seeing Fourteen drooping eyebrows and eyes, Rong Ye was a little funny, and said, "We'll talk about it when you come back."

The next morning, when Fourteen led the team to set off, before leaving, Rong Ye handed Fourteen a red envelope and said: "When I was at Li's house, there would be red envelopes every year on New Year's Eve. I forgot on the way yesterday. Today is the first day of the lunar new year, Happy New Year and I will be free from illness."

"Happy New Year, my brother." Li Wubing took the red envelope and put it in his chest, "I haven't prepared anything, brother, wait for me to come back."

"No need to prepare, just go."

When Li was not ill, he would not delay any longer, and set off with the team, but left two soldiers at the inn.

As soon as he left the town, Li Wubing's face lost the childishness and pyrotechnics when he talked to Rong Ye just now, the closer he got to the imperial city of Kyoto, the more hard to hide the frost on his face, and it was almost noon when he arrived at the gate of the capital, the soldiers guarding the gate Asked, when he heard that it was the general of the Rongzhou Army, he immediately admired him and let him go immediately.

Fourteenth Road rode through Ping'an Main Street to the outside of the palace gate, and dismounted for inspection.

Emperor Tianshun who had just had lunch in Zichen Palace heard the news and said, "It's better to hurry."

"How did Fourteen behave?"

The chief eunuch learned something up close. He got off his horse in front of the gate of the Fourteenth Emperor's palace, carefully accepted the interrogation, unloaded his weapons and armor, and then asked the accompanying soldiers to wait. He came in alone, and now he was almost at the gate of the Zichen Palace...

When Emperor Tianshun heard it, he was immediately proud, and he said it was right, how could a bastard like Fourteen dare to have that kind of thought, he was a coward, and Fifth Brother was still cautious, so it didn't have to be the case with Fourteen.

"Show him in."

On the fourteenth day, he entered the hall, saluted neatly, knelt down, and called the saint Long Live.Emperor Tianshun still knew how to put on a show, and he went up to help Shisi himself, saying: "Brother Fourteen, I haven't seen you working hard for a long time, why should we two brothers see each other."

"Etiquette cannot be broken, it's better for me to abide by the rules." Fourteen's words were somewhat reckless and somewhat flinching.

Emperor Tianshun was even more at ease, and took people to the side hall to sit on the soft bed, "There are fire dragons here, look, I just noticed that you are still wearing single clothes, go and get the clothes, and I will take mine. "

After the fourteenth armor was removed, it was black single clothes, and immediately knelt down, saying that he did not dare to panic.

"What's the matter, it's just one or two pieces of clothes."

Fourteen didn't dare to ask for it, but Emperor Tianshun offered it warmly, so Fourteen put it on in fear and trepidation. When Fourteen went to change clothes, Emperor Tianshun sat on the soft bed with a smug smile in his eyes, and took it. I wiped my hands with a towel, just touched Fourteen, and it was dirty.

Wait until you change your clothes.

Emperor Tianshun called Fourteen to sit down, and Fourteen obeyed and sat not far from Emperor Tianshun. Emperor Tianshun smiled and said: "The notice was tight at that time, but I didn't expect you to come soon."

"I didn't dare to delay, I rushed here day and night, but it was snowing on the road and it was difficult to travel on the road, so I was delayed, otherwise I could make it in time on New Year's Eve, and I ask the Holy One to make atonement—" He got up and knelt.

Emperor Tianshun waved his hand, and the chief eunuch went to help the fourteenth prince.

"I know you are obedient, sit down, it's not too late, just in time for the family banquet in the palace, you made great contributions years ago..."

It took more than half an hour to talk about it, and when Emperor Tianshun finished talking, he realized, "Geng Zhong, when is it?"

Geng Zhong was the chief eunuch next to Emperor Tianshun.

When the late emperor was around, there was Wang Zetian by his side, the name was chosen by the late emperor himself, and he said it had a good meaning.Later, when Emperor Tianshun ascended the throne, he followed the example of the previous emperor and changed the name of Zhu Gui, the eunuch beside him, to Zhu Gengzhong.

"Returning to the Holy One, it's already three quarters past."

It was [-]:[-] in the afternoon, Emperor Tianshun said that he was tired, and asked the time. Hearing about this, he remembered to ask Shisi if he could eat?Fourteen said nothing, and rushed over with a few steamed buns in the morning, but they didn't have time to use them all the way.

"Geng Zhong, hurry up and pass on the meal."

"My younger brother dare not disturb the Qingyou of the Holy One."

"Then give me a table of noodles, send it, send it—" Emperor Tianshun stopped, the fourteenth is so big, he can't send it to the prince's courtyard, but he feels sick to let the fourteenth stay in the Zichen Palace After thinking about it for a while, he said, "Go to Concubine Yi's place. It happened that Fourteenth came back. Presumably, Concubine Yi wants to see her younger brother. I won't delay the reunion of your mother and son."

Geng Zhong responded, and went down to give orders.

As soon as the fourteenth left, Emperor Tianshun asked the eunuchs and maidservants to change the teacups, throwing away all of them, but he felt relieved, "Bastards are bastards, and they can't be on the stage."

"As for Geng Zhong, let him tidy up a hall for Shisi, right in front, not too close or too far away, after all, he has made meritorious service."

Concubine Yi is in the East Garden of the harem—now all the concubines live in the east, with the queen mothers of the two palaces as the central axis. One step, but everyone in the palace knew that the Holy Mother was filial to his biological mother, even though the Holy Mother lived a little later, it was very lively and full of people coming and going all day long.

And those who hugged the mother and queen mother in the front were those who were not favored, and the Holy Majesty looked down on them, like the daughters of the Zhao family—after the Zhao family was wiped out, the lives of the daughters of the Zhao family who entered the palace to be concubines were preserved, and their status was also lost. However, the Holy Majesty is even more complicated about this person, as if he has been thrown into the cold palace.

The daughter of the Zhao family begged for the blessing of her mother, the Empress Dowager, to make life easier in the palace.

All women in the palace are like this, those who are favored will go to Sanrong - the queen mother, empress, and concubine Rong are all surnamed Rong, and they are daughters of the Rong family. off.

The concubines of the Holy Majesty still have hope—maybe one day the Holy Majesty will think of them, and they will be able to favor one or two, and if they are lucky enough to conceive a dragon heir, they will have no worries for the rest of their lives.

The days when the toffees are not favored are just visible, and there is no hope.This is the case for Concubine Yi, guarding a remote corner of the palace, and her daily meals are greatly reduced, not to mention that her salary is always deducted, and when winter comes, she dare not light the brazier—the coal she gives is all smoky.

There is no good jewelry and clothes for the New Year.

But this year is an exception. Fourteen won the war outside, and the eunuchs and maids in the harem saw the direction of the wind, and they didn't dare to act blatantly again. The proportion sent to this Concubine Yi is enough-no one is flattering .

No matter how good the concubine's life is, it's just going out of the palace to live with her son for a reunion. These eunuchs stay in the palace for a lifetime and can't get out, so what can they do with flattery?Just don't skip the points deductions, just don't let the fourteenth prince catch a braid and take the opportunity to send them off.

"Twife, the Fourteenth Prince has come to our courtyard." The new eunuch trotted in to deliver the message.

Concubine Yi sat upright on the chair, looked at the happy little eunuch, her face did not conceal her elegance despite her age, and said: "He came right away, let's go."

The little eunuch was not an old man, and he didn't understand why the concubine was not happy at all, so he could only obediently retreat after hearing what he said, thinking that he would get some money for spreading such good news.

Fourteen entered the courtyard under the guidance of the palace servants. The eunuchs and maidservants knelt down on the ground, saluting to him with joyful eyebrows.

These people are all happy for him to come, but the owner of the yard, his mother, doesn't care about him coming.

I'm afraid he still thinks he's dirty the place.

"Get up." Fourteen's face was full of joy, and he had done enough to see his mother's happy gesture, without any airs, entered the main courtyard, the light in the room was not good, it was dim, and the brazier was lit , not much heat.

But Fourteen is not cold, he is not afraid of the cold.

"Mother, the baby is back."

Concubine Yi looked at the kneeling people with undisguised disgust in her eyes, she didn't cry out, her expression was cold, and after a long time, the maid next to her reminded her, "Toffee Concubine, the Holy Majesty has given the banquet, you and Fourteen Does the prince use some?"

"Well, go and use some."

The round table in the side hall was full of food, which was still warm - it could be seen that the palace could clearly see who was the first to become famous in front of the Holy Majesty.

The mother and son sat down, and the maids served dishes respectively.

Fourteen ate fast, and made a note not to ask the maid to clothe, and cleaned the food with chopsticks by himself. He has indeed eaten since morning, and he is indeed hungry.Concubine Yi watched Fourteen eating, her eyes became disgusted, she put down her chopsticks, and made all the palace people back down.

"Mother Concubine, I'm hungry, don't be angry, I'll eat slowly." Fourteen said, he really slowed down, and he was much slower, he said: "When fighting outside, I often can't eat a warm meal. Just eat faster and get into the habit—"

"Enough." Concubine Yi interrupted Fourteen's words.

Fourteen didn't talk about it, he just picked up the vegetables and ate with that plate.

There were only two mothers and sons in the living room, and the palace guards were guarding the door. Concubine Yi couldn't restrain her anger, disgust, disgust and hatred mixed together, "You hate me, and you came to take revenge on me, and said these words on purpose."

"Mother, I have no such intention."

"Enough." Concubine Yi swept the plate in front of her to the floor, she looked at the person in front of her, this was not her child, "The one you killed was your uncle, you are so cruel, how could you do this, you Don't call me concubine mother."

Li Wubing held his chopsticks and paused, then ate the vegetables as if nothing had happened, his tone was calm, as if he was talking about other people's affairs, "I was taken away by Nanyi the year before last, you said my uncle forced me to be a Dali spy, successively My hand bones were broken, my shoulders were pierced, and the whip was scorched. I was forced to the cliff, and I jumped off and escaped death."

"Aniang, he is your younger brother. I was born in your womb, right?"

Concubine Yi was questioned, but her eyes were red, and she went crazy without tears, "I would rather give birth to a lump of dead flesh, why don't you die, why don't you die."

At that time, Concubine Yi was the princess of Nanyi, the youngest and most beautiful daughter, and the jewel in the palm of the Nanyi king. Her father, king and elder brothers all loved the princess, and gave her whatever she wanted, the most delicate and bright flowers, the most beautiful clothes and jewelry, and the most luxurious palace. If the princess wants it, she will give it to her.

Nanyi is the most beautiful hometown for the princess. The blue sky, bright and beautiful flowers, and the air are filled with fragrance. She is loved and loved by her family and people, and she can run and play around without worry.

Everything broke at 14.

Her father sent her to Dali, and she became the emperor's concubine.

On the other hand, Emperor Kang Jing and the current Emperor Tianshun deserved to be father and son.

Concubine Yi was in a bad situation at that time. She was just a princess of a small country, and she was still shouldering the expectations of her father. She wanted to reduce the annual tribute to Dali. Everyone saw her jokes and knew that she was just a toy. After suffering like this for several years, there is no shortage of fresh beauties in the palace. She needs solid pets and tools to stand firm in the harem.

There are fourteen.

But Concubine Yi hated Shisi very much. She hated Dali and the emperor of Dali. If the emperor of Dali hadn't bullied and attacked Nanyi, her father would not have sent her to Dali.

Concubine Yi always wanted to go home in her dreams, to return to the time when she was carefree and happy in her dreams.

"Why don't you die, you just die at that time..."

It is true that Li Wubing was originally called Li Wuming by his mother.

After Concubine Yi gave birth, she stared at the mass of crying flesh on the bed. In her eyes, it was filthy and dirty. It had the blood of Emperor Dali. She couldn't fight against the predicament. She was born, but she hated it. But not personally kill.

Pulling back and forth left and right, Concubine Yi was going crazy.

Later, Fourteen grew up to be three years old, and was thrown to the Prince's Garden by Concubine Yi - the other princes only went there when they were five or six years old.

She couldn't see it at first, so she just pretended that there was no such person, so she couldn't remember the humiliation and hatred. Now Shisi killed Nanyi's younger brother, and Concubine Yi brought up many pasts that she didn't want to mention.

Concubine Yi tried to kill the Fourteenth Prince with a dagger, but it still happened.

Shisi also dodged it, but his arm was cut and blood was flowing. He looked at the crazy woman with red eyes and hatred. This was his mother, the mother who gave him his life.

"Aniang, I missed you so much when I was in the Prince's Garden. The grandma said that it's not that you lost me and didn't love me. It's just that the rules are like this. I secretly avoided people and ran back to see you."

"You said that I won't die in the Prince's Garden, right? You also said that it's not good to die, and I won't be favored if I die."

Li Wubing always remembered that his mother wanted him to die, and he was just a tool of obsession.Later, he was bullied by those princes and brothers, and Li Wubing knew that there was no one behind him, even if he cried, he would not be comforted, let alone help him out.

Until one day, the companion reading beside Brother Eight Emperor stood up to protect him.

Although only two sentences.
