I was a princess in ancient times
Chapter 116 3 in 1
Yu Heng's gaze skipped over the man who was holding on to the fence of the cell, and landed on Cui Qingsong.
Qi Yanhe found that Yu Heng was looking away, and said without thinking, "Look at what he is doing, take me to sleep quickly!"
These days, Yu Heng's special care for him, coupled with the trance and extreme sleepiness and disappointment caused by being frightened by the hairy-legged spider last night, made Qi Yanhe seem to be dreaming back to the time when Yu Heng treated him everything ten years ago.
He stared at Yu Heng with scorching eyes, and he didn't feel at all that whether he was a prisoner or a person being taken care of, his tone and attitude towards Yu Heng were too arrogant.
Cui Qingsong glanced at Qi Yanhe, who was not only angry, but also not guilty at all, and looked at Yu Heng with a sneer, "Ms. Zheng bullied the princess of Xianglin, and her son bullied the king of Xianglin. It can be seen that the slang words are vulgar but reasonable. "The dragon begets the dragon and the phoenix, and the son of a mouse can make holes."
Because the rest of the people were shocked by Qi Yanhe's sudden roar, the originally noisy prison suddenly became silent, Cui Qingsong's words were particularly harsh.
"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Qi Yanhe stared at Cui Qingsong with scarlet eyes, and kicked fiercely towards the fence separating him and Cui Qingsong.
He had long been at odds with Cui Qingsong.Among them, there are both Qi's sons and Cui's sons' rivalry, and because after they were arrested into the clan's mansion, Qi Yanhe was unknowingly squeezed out by the family's sons, while Cui Qingsong became the leader by virtue of his status as the grandson of the grand master. sheep.
Just now, Cui Qingsong took Yu Heng's attention away.
Yu Heng is Qi Yanhe's last hope in the clan's mansion, how could Qi Yanhe not hate Cui Qingsong?
Seeing Qi Yanhe burning with anger, the smile on Cui Qingsong's face became real instead.He ignored Qi Yanhe and turned to Yu Heng to repeat what he said just now.
"I know that Princess Xianglin was bullied by Mrs. Zheng when she first married into the British government."
The distance between Qi Yanhe and Cui Qingsong was very far, and he only had Yu Heng in his eyes. Before that, he hadn't heard clearly how Cui Qingsong attracted Yu Heng's attention.
Hearing these words suddenly at this time, guilt surfaced in the depths of his eyes, and his face became more excited. He suddenly turned around to find the teacup, and slammed hard at Cui Qingsong's position.
Cui Qingsong cannot continue to speak nonsense to sow discord between him and Yu Heng!
It's a pity that the distance between Qi Yanhe and Cui Qingsong is too far, there are several people between them, the teacup fell powerlessly to the ground before it reached Cui Qingsong.
Not only failed to deter Cui Qingsong, but made other people who were almost hit by the teacup look bad, and hated Qi Yanhe even more.
Yu Heng ignored the dispute between the two parties, he was trying to recall the blurred memories of his childhood.
Princess Xianglin spoke ill of many people in front of Yu Heng, the old lady of the British government, the British prince, the British princess, the former British prince, the former British prince's wife... and even Yu Heng's father Qi Shishi.
Compared with these people, Fuwei Qi and Zheng Shi of the third room can almost be said to have no sense of existence.
How could his aunt be bullied by the Zheng family as the princess of the clan?
Yu Heng's eyes skipped over the tense faces of Cui Qingsong and Qi Yanhe, then turned and walked out of the prison.
"Interrogate Cui Qingsong."
"Brother?!" Qi Yanhe stretched out his hand towards Yu Heng's back in disbelief, his tone became more and more flustered, "He said that on purpose because he didn't like me. My aunt has never bullied my aunt!"
Hearing this, Cui Qingsong, who had already walked out of the prison, turned around and gave Qi Yanhe a malicious smile, and strode after Yu Heng, who had only his back left.
With the reputation of Xianglin County King, he doesn't look like a person who repays grievances with virtue.
When Xianglin County King no longer cares about Qi Yanhe, he will see how arrogant Qi Yanhe is.
Cui Qingsong spoke very fast because he desperately wanted to see Qi Yanhe in trouble.
Every time his mother was bullied by the fifth aunt Lin, she would chatter with him about the troubles that made her feel wronged.
Most of them complained about the partiality of the grandfather and grandmother towards the fifth aunt, and the distrust of the daughter-in-law of the concubine, who even loved the daughter-in-law of the concubine as a daughter.Not only did the rest of the daughters-in-law feel wronged for the Lin family, but even the daughters born from the first line had to make concessions for the concubine's daughter-in-law.
Cui Qingsong's mother-in-law envied Lin's daughter from a small family, who not only married high, but was also doted on by her parents-in-law.In just a few years, her natal father took advantage of her to be valued by Grand Master Cui, and changed from a low-level official to a serious official.And because Lin's luck was based on her pain, she hated Lin.
Therefore, Cui Qingsong's mother usually would not admit her envy for Lin.
In her opinion, the person with the best fate is the Zheng family of the British government.
Zheng's husband is the most unpromising person among all the brothers, and the two sisters-in-law born in the first place are both the clan princesses, but she can suppress the clan princesses wantonly by relying on the favor and support of the elders of the British government.
As long as she is not happy, the two princesses will definitely be unlucky.
Princess Xianglin doesn't like the British father-in-law and his wife, and has an indifferent attitude towards Princess Yiyun and the Zheng family, and never considers the issue of being in charge.
Because Princess Yiyun is the eldest son and daughter-in-law, she is very concerned about her parents-in-law's doting on Zheng, and always thinks that Princess Xianglin is also the princess of the clan.
It stands to reason that the person who has the most conflicts with the Zheng family should be Princess Yiyun, but the Zheng family prefers to trouble the Princess Xianglin.
Cui Qingsong considered that Princess Xianglin passed away early, and he didn't know whether Princess Xianglin was more important in the eyes of King Xianglin, or the British government was more important.When mentioning the past about Zheng's bullying of Princess Xianglin, he deliberately picked up trivial matters first, carefully paying attention to Yu Heng's reaction.
Yu Heng was always expressionless, as if his heart was not touched at all, but he was very patient. He never urged Cui Qingsong when he fell into memories, which really made Cui Qingsong unable to see the depth.
As a result, Cui Qingsong's expression became more and more hesitant, and in the end, relying entirely on his hatred for Qi Yanhe, he bit the bullet and told all the things his mother had revealed intentionally or unintentionally.
"I only know so much." Cui Qingsong's eyes no longer showed composure, only growing anxiety.
If in the heart of King Xianglin, the status of people in the British government is higher than that of Princess Xianglin, would you think that he is deliberately sowing discord?
After all, the 'bullying' he mentioned will have different views in the eyes of different people.
Some people think it is a trivial matter, such as him Aye.
Some people will think that this is a brutal training, such as his mother.
While waiting for Yu Heng's reaction, Cui Qingsong thought carefully about what he said just now.
Relying on the fact that the British Duke and Mrs. British will not expose her, she overestimates herself by belittling the Princess Xianglin at the banquet.
Speaking publicly would cause people to misunderstand and ruin the reputation of Princess Xianglin.
When Xianglin princess held a banquet, he tried his best to take advantage of it.
……
Yu Heng lowered his eyelids, not giving Cui Qingsong any chance to spy on his thoughts.
He could understand A Niang's grievance.
Because of the grievances that A Niang suffered from Zheng Shi, he felt it from Qi Yanhe.
What Cui Qingsong said most touched him was what he said in prison, "Zheng's family bullied Xianglin County Lord, and Qi Yanhe bullied Xianglin County King." '
Originally, he no longer wanted to argue with Qi Yanhe about his childhood.
If you count A Niang's grievances.
The mother's debt is paid by the son, and it will be doubled several times.
It took a long time before Yu Heng broke away from the turbulent emotions. He looked at Cui Qingsong who was already sweating on his forehead again, and asked, "Who is the Lin family who is the birth mother of the Ninth Prince?"
Cui Qingsong did not expect that Yu Heng would suddenly bring up something completely unrelated to Princess Xianglin, so he was taken aback for a while before answering honestly, "It didn't matter at first. When Concubine Lin was just named a nobleman, Auntie Wu's natal family used to hold a genealogy tree. I went to Concubine Lin's father and wanted to join her family, but Concubine Lin's father did not refuse for the sake of grandfather."
Yu Heng nodded, "Tell me about Mrs. Lin."
"Jun Wang?" Cui Qingsong looked at Yu Heng in surprise, secretly guarding himself.
Auntie Wu is just a lucky woman in the back house, what can I say?
Yu Heng seemed to be able to see through Cui Qingsong's deepest thoughts, and said with a half-smile, "Apart from being loved by her parents-in-law, is there anything similar to Zheng's?"
"Even if you don't tell me, I can let others look into it." He tempted Cui Qingsong openly, "If you satisfy me, you can stay here tonight."
Cui Qingsong subconsciously looked around.
This is a place for the servants of the clan's mansion to rest temporarily. There is only a bed, a table and chairs on both sides of the table in the room, not even a screen.
In the past, when Cui Qingsong heard that someone asked him to stay overnight in this kind of place, he would definitely think that the other party was deliberately humiliating him.
Now he was overjoyed, and even the dissatisfaction caused by Yu Heng's blatantly taking care of Qi Yanhe was gone, and he told Yu Heng all the things he knew about Lin's without reservation like a bamboo tube pouring beans.
Taishi Cui's fifth daughter-in-law, Lin Shi, was originally the daughter of a petty official, and in any case was not worthy of the son of a third-rank official.
But she was lucky.
Cui Wulang went to the mountains to hunt when he was 15 years old, and got separated from the guards and got lost in the mountains.
When Lin and his family went to the cemetery to worship their ancestors, they happened to find Cui Wulang who was dying.
Cui Wulang fell in love with Lin at first sight. At that time, Cui Taishi and his wife, who were only the imperial doctor, thought of Lin's life-saving grace to Cui Wulang, so they did not object to the marriage.
Before Lin's and Cui Wulang's official engagement, Cui Taishi, in order to look good, deliberately went through the relationship and arranged an official position for Lin's father.
In the next ten years, Lin's natal family enjoyed Cui's promotion.
Now the highest official position in the Lin family is Lin's elder brother, he is lucky to catch up with Liangfei's Dongfeng, and he is serving as the Shaoqing of Sipin Honglu Temple.Although there is no authority in hand, it is a real job.
Speaking of this, Cui Qingsong couldn't hide his jealousy.
When this position was vacated, Cui's daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law almost broke their heads for their mother's family, but in the end, it was Lin who didn't fight or grab anything, and reaped the benefits of the fisherman.
Yu Heng nodded thoughtfully.At the end of the Yanguang Dynasty, when the aristocratic family returned to the court with the help of the concubine Liang, Zheng's father and brother also got positions that were not in line with their status in the Zheng family, and it was very likely that they were related to the Zheng family.
In this way, following Du Du being loved by his parents-in-law, Zheng and Lin have another similarity.
It's not that their natal family supported them and stabilized their position in their in-laws' family. Instead, they were able to ascend to heaven alone, and let their in-laws' family take the initiative to support their natal family.
Finally seeing Yu Heng reacting when he spoke, Cui Qingsong breathed a sigh of relief visibly, and his thoughts became smoother.
Disgust flashed in his eyes, "Lin's son is as annoying as Qi Yanhe."
Lin's son Cui Qingpu and Cui Qingsong are about the same age, only half a year apart, but their status in front of Grand Master Cui and his wife is very different.
Cui Qingsong, who is the concubine's concubine, is the land, and Cui Qingpu, the concubine's house, is the sky.
In an aristocratic family with strict internal hierarchy, while the fellow concubine and concubine rejected Cui Qingpu, they would also mercilessly laugh at Cui Qingsong.
Coincidentally, Cui Qingpu, like Qi Yanhe, is an only child.
It is precisely because Cui Qingpu and Qi Yanhe are highly similar in character and circumstances that Cui Qingsong hates Wu and Wu, and sees Qi Yanhe not pleasing to the eye everywhere.
When he heard that Cui Qingpu was also an only child, Yu Heng tapped the armrest of the chair half wrongly with his fingertips.
He knew the reason why Qi Yanhe was the only son.Deputy Qi injured his body by drinking and drinking outside. Although he relied on various "miracle medicines" to keep his happiness, he could no longer make the woman pregnant.
"Cui Wulang and Mrs. Lin have been married for more than ten years, why do they only have an only son?" Yu Heng asked.
Cui Qingsong said indifferently, "When Cui Qingpu was five years old, Mrs. Lin was pregnant again. It's a pity that she had a miscarriage in June. Not only did the child fail to be born, it also caused Lin's body to be injured, and she could never conceive again."
Even if the child failed to be born, his sister, who was a compatriot, suffered from Lin's hardships just like him and A Niang.
Yu Heng asked a few more questions, and all the answers could draw the conclusion that Lin's circumstances are highly similar to Zheng's.This made him inevitably think of the 'princess' Zhou Wan.
Zhou Wan, Zheng Shi, and Lin Shi.
If there is really a close connection between them... Yu Heng pondered for a while, thinking that only 'ghost stories' could describe this sentence.
He kept his promise, not only allowed Cui Qingsong to stay here to rest, but also confessed to the government servants in front of Cui Qingsong, and satisfied all Cui Qingsong's requirements except for going out or sending messages.
Before the yamen servant responded, Cui Qingsong swore that he would never do anything to embarrass Yu Heng.
Leaving the room, Yu Heng immediately saw Ji Xinxue standing in the corridor looking at the direction of the palace in a daze.
Ji Xinxue deliberately kept the original posture, did not look at Yu Heng, and just handed over the fruit in her hand, "What did Cui Qingsong tell you?"
After interrogating Mr. Green Clothes, he found out that Cui Qingsong had already been taken away by Yu Heng, who claimed to know about Zheng's bullying of Princess Xianglin in the past.
Ji Xinxue is well aware of the importance of Princess Xianglin in Yu Heng's heart, and is very worried about Yu Heng's mood.
Yu Heng held the fruit that Ji Xinxue stuffed him like holding a stove, and said slowly, "I think ten people living in the same room is too aggrieved, and I plan to move half of them to Qi Yanhe's cell."
When Ji Xinxue heard the words, she immediately understood that Cui Qingsong's words were not groundless, and that there were reasons to convince Yu Heng.
He reported the names of five people and suggested, "Move them to Qi Yanhe's cell."
These people were all the ones who frequently troubled Qi Yanhe in the past few days.
Yu Heng should have taken out rock candy from his purse and put it in Ji Xinxue's mouth, instead coaxing Ji Xinxue to feel relieved, "It's all over."
It's fine now, he won't dwell on the past.
Ji Xinxue ate the bitter rock candy, returned to the cell aggressively, and immediately interrogated Qi Yanhe.
He told Qi Yanhe directly that because Yu Heng was so kind to Qi Yanhe, he hated him.
Before Qi Yanhe could react, Ji Xinxue had already waved her hand to the yamen guard to throw Qi Yanhe back to the prison, and by the way picked someone who had been at odds with Qi Yanhe for a long time.
Even though Qi Yanhe pretended to be calm and did not let the aristocrats who were still in prison see his panic, the people who returned to the prison one after another would still look at him with strange eyes.
During today's interrogation, only five people, including Cui Qingsong and Lvyi Langjun, were eligible to sleep outside the prison.
Everyone except Cui Qingsong returned to prison before nightfall.
According to Ji Xinxue's order, the jailer pointed out five people to go to the cell where Qi Yanhe was.
As soon as these words came out, the gentlemen sleeping in Datongpu all looked at Qi Yanhe with malicious intentions.
Qi Yanhe's face trembled violently, and he could no longer keep calm.He pointed at the jailer and yelled at the jailer, angrily reprimanding the other party's fake biography Ji Xinxue's order, and clamored to see Yu Heng.
It's a pity that the jailer ignored Qi Yanhe at all, he only needed to bring out the gentlemen from the adjacent cells.When the gentlemen catch Qi Yanhe through the fence, open Qi Yanhe's cell and let the gentlemen go in.
That night, the aristocratic families in the prison happily occupied Qi Yanhe's "family property", divided up the bedding in Qi Yanhe's cell and other things sent by the British government, forcing Qi Yanhe to curl up in a corner and sleep.
The hairy-legged spider appeared on time in the middle of the night, and the gentlemen of the aristocratic family neatly dealt with the hairy-legged spider in their cells, and looked at Miss Kang with burning eyes.
The Kang girl flinched visibly, but finally picked up the wooden sticks thrown by the gentlemen, screamed and threw it at the hairy-legged spider.
Although the process was extremely tortuous, they could at least close their eyes before midnight.
It's a pity that the shadow of the hairy-legged spider has firmly shrouded their hearts. Even if they close their eyes, they dare not fall asleep, and even pinch their thighs to keep calm.
I'm afraid that when I'm asleep, a big spider with hairy legs will appear quietly and crawl to...
Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng also couldn't sleep. They compared the experiences of Lin, Zheng, and Zhou Wan, and found many similarities.
For example, Zhou Wan was out of the public's sight because of her filial piety for three years.Zheng Shi also prayed for her grandmother when she was seven years old, and went to the female temple to meditate for three years.Lin was weak since she was a child, and the old friends of the Lin family only knew that the Lin family had a young daughter, but before Lin was 12 years old, no one outside the Lin family had ever seen Lin in person.
These three people are all in the process of growing up, and they may be dropped quietly.
Zhou Wan's family members were all killed in the fire, and it is impossible to compare their way of getting along.
The Zheng family and her natal family... can't say they have a bad relationship, it's just a little strange.She rarely mentioned her natal family, but her natal family missed her very much.Not only is the four festivals and eight etiquettes always thoughtful, but she also gives her money from time to time.As a married woman, Zheng never returned the gift.
The distance between Gyeonggi and Chang'an is not too far, and it only takes two days for Mrs. Zheng to go home.However, she has been married to the British government for nearly 20 years and has never returned home.
Lin's situation is the same as that of Zheng's. Her natal family cares about her far more than she cares about her natal family.Her natal family is closer than Zheng's, but she also hasn't been back home for more than 20 years.
……
The more you compare them in detail, the more similarities the three have.
When it was dawn, Ji Xinxue wrote all the details he and Yu Heng had sorted out in a secret letter, and asked the Jinwu Guard to send him back to the palace.
Then continue to interrogate Shi Jiazi.
Because an honest confession can actually improve their lives, the attitude of the members of the aristocratic family has changed from passive coping to racking their brains to think about what Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng want to hear.
Ji Xinxue still gave Qi Yanhe the benefits of being able to wash with hot water and change new clothes every day in the name of Yu Heng.Turning around, he told the family members that he disliked Qi Yanhe very much because the British Duke always sent people to find Yu Heng and asked Yu Heng to take care of Qi Yanhe.
The members of the aristocratic family also hate Qi Yanhe, who is extraordinarily "lucky", because Yu Heng and Ji Xinxue blatantly gave Qi Yanhe various preferential treatment, so they reluctantly endured their dissatisfaction.
Now it is discovered that only Xianglin County King takes care of Qi Yanhe due to the affection of his brothers, and Princess Anwu doesn't like Qi Yanhe, so her mind has become active.They all tried to curry favor with Princess Anwu by making Qi Yanhe unhappy, and seize the preferential treatment that originally belonged to Qi Yanhe.
Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, interrogating the children of the aristocratic family on time and on time every day.
Because they successfully squeezed out Qi Yanhe and got preferential treatment, the members of the aristocratic family subconsciously regarded Ji Xinxue as a reasonable person, and unconsciously became less and less defensive.It was discovered that Ji Xinxue was particularly interested in the family affairs of the parents, and they almost told about their own family affairs to please Ji Xinxue.
The so-called family ugliness should not be publicized, of course the affairs of the family cannot be said, and the affairs of the other families... Even if they don't say it, Princess Anwu can find out from other places.
Compared with Ji Xinxue, who is kind and down-to-earth, Yu Heng looks extraordinarily cold.Every time, he repeatedly asked the aristocratic family members about the banquet in the Marquis of Runan, patiently poking out the logical loopholes in everyone's words.
In order to cope with Yu Heng's pressing questions, the members of the aristocratic family could only tear apart the east wall to make up for the west wall, unknowingly revealing many things that they didn't intend to say but leaving even bigger logical loopholes.
Over and over again, Yu Heng almost emptied the aristocratic children.
As a result, when Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng went to interrogate the sons of the aristocratic family, except for Qi Yanhe who kept looking eagerly at Yu Heng, everyone else stared at Ji Xinxue anxiously, fearing that Yu Heng would choose him away.
Can chat with Princess Anwu, who wants to face the cold face of Xianglin County King?
Only Kang Ge, who is most afraid of being interrogated by Yu Heng with the "affectionate script" in hand, can get the humility of the family members.
On the morning of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng jointly interrogated the son of the family for the first time.
They listed the statement based on Yu Heng's questioning for several days, and asked the family members to confirm the content of the statement and sign it.
Thinking that the members of the aristocratic family did not plan to attack Ji Cheng and Ji Mingtong, Ji Xinxue did not deliberately tamper with the confession.
Every word recorded in the confession is a word spoken by the sons of the aristocratic family.
The original plan of the aristocratic family was to help Kang Ge persuade Ji Mingtong to go to Qinghe Hutong, so that Ji Mingtong could hear the explanation from the outer room. '
Although they didn't have the idea of persecuting Ji Mingtong in their hearts, they behaved like bandits.
They subconsciously believed that it was normal for Ji Mingtong to be willing to meet the outer room in Qinghe Hutong, and if he didn't want to go, it was because he didn't believe Kang Ge's explanation.For the sake of Kang Ge and Ji Mingtong, they must convince Ji Mingtong of Kang Ge's explanation.
Because Ji Cheng speaks with a gun and a stick, every word and every word is poked at their most painful place, and he strikes first, the family members will "be unable to bear it".
Everyone who saw the confession was surprised.
Only three people chose to sign after a short silence, and the rest refused to admit that the contents of the statement were their own words, and some even tried to tear up the statement.
Ji Xinxue rushed back to the palace to have a reunion dinner with her family, and was too lazy to confront the family members. When she saw someone who refused to face reality, she asked the jailer to take him away.
He and Yu Heng respectively wrote the comments of 'admitting mistakes positively, and can be punished lightly' on the confessions of those who voluntarily signed and pledged, and left the confessions in the clan mansion, and returned to the palace for a reunion dinner.
The jailer will take the unsigned statement and all the records of Yu Heng's interrogation of the aristocratic children, and carefully explain to those who refuse to sign the statement where every sentence in the statement comes from.
Until dark, those who are willing to sign and pledge can take a hot bath, change into new clothes, and have a sumptuous dinner on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
The reunion banquet in the palace is held in Ningshou Palace.
Ji Minyan and the others have already returned to Chang'an one after another, and Ji Mingtong has also recovered his previous vigor, smiling and snuggling up beside Concubine Su, acting like a spoiled child.
When Ji Xinxue saw A Buhan Bing, he subconsciously rubbed his eyes.
It's not dazzled?
He turned to look for Yu Heng, wanting to share his complicated feelings with him.When he finally saw Yu Heng's back, his mood became more complicated.
Why is Ji Cheng here?
Seeing that Ji Jingyu was still there, Ji Xinxue didn't go there, and she didn't dare to ask Ji Mingtong, who was snuggling beside Concubine Su, so she could only go to Ji Jingrou.
"Huh?" There was surprise in Ji Jingrou's eyes, "Last year, Cheng also had a reunion dinner in the palace."
Before Ji Xinxue could answer, Ji Jingrou suddenly exclaimed, "We were in a fiefdom last year, and I don't seem to have told you about it."
While speaking, Ji Jingrou gently touched Ji Xinxue's neck.
She seems to be suffering from amnesia.
When you see Axue in men's clothing, you will forget Axue in women's clothing.
Seeing A Xue in women's clothing, but forgetting A Xue in men's clothing.
It would be great if Baoshan's delusion was reality.Ah Xue is not alone, but two twins, she can have a beautiful younger sister and a handsome younger brother at the same time.
Ugh.
Ji Xinxue nimbly avoided Ji Jingrou's palm, as if talking to herself, "It was there last year?"
It really complied with the phrase 'everything must be guarded against, but a house thief is hard to guard against'.
Ji Jingrou couldn't touch his Adam's apple, regret flashed across his eyebrows, and he said casually, "You don't think Ah Buhan Bing is strange, but you think Ji Cheng is strange."
When Ji Xinxue heard this, she could only face Ji Jingrou with a smile.
In the first court meeting in six years of Changping, Ji Jingrou, Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng officially entered the court.
Ji Xinxue was wearing a princess court dress and standing behind Ji Jingyu, who was tall and straight. When she raised her eyelids, she could see Ji Minyan, Ji Jingrou and sleepy-eyed Ji Mingtong on the opposite side, and Yu Heng stood on the other side.
The first major event in the opening of the dynasty, Emperor Changping wanted to crown his younger brother who died young.
The courtiers looked at each other, and they all praised Emperor Changping for his friendship and love for his brothers.
Death at an early age is equivalent to having no children, and titles cannot be passed on.
Emperor Changping looked at the courtiers with emotion in his eyes, claiming that he was ashamed and did not dare to be called a friendly brother.
When King Xiang heard the words, he immediately came out with more people, citing scriptures to affirm Emperor Changping's love for his brothers, and he was so emotional that he wished to overturn the glazed tiles.At the same time, he circulated among the courtiers with murderous eyes.
It must have been something these people said or did that made Brother suddenly have a different understanding of 'Brother'.
He is very satisfied with his life now, and he doesn't want to see brother change in how he treats his brothers.
Don't let him find out who is slandering in front of brother, otherwise he will have to take off this person's skin!
The courtiers found out that King Xiang was dissatisfied, and wished they could engrave the word "injustice" on their foreheads.
King Xiang is just an idle prince who seldom does errands and has no real power.They didn't lose their minds, what did they do to deal with King Xiang?
Although they felt that King Xiang had a lot of things to do, none of the courtiers wanted to offend the emperor's favored younger brother, and pinched their noses to comfort Emperor Changping, wishing to praise Emperor Changping as the most respectable elder brother since ancient times.He secretly hoped that Emperor Changping would stop lamenting as soon as possible, otherwise King Xiang might go crazy and bite people at any time.
After a long time, Emperor Changping restrained his emotions reluctantly and let Songnian formally announce the decree.
Ji Yufeng, the sixteenth son of the first emperor, was posthumously named Shu Wang, and the adopted nine princes were named Shu Wang's son.
Except for those who had heard the news and the aristocratic families who had intended this for a long time, most of the courtiers had a blank look on their faces.
Your Majesty is willing to adopt a child?
Who are the sixteen sons of the first emperor?
Ji Yufeng?It's like I've never heard the name before.
Prince Qinghe, who rarely went to court, took half a step forward, and said solemnly, "The sixteen sons of the late emperor were conceived by Concubine Su before the reordering of the princes of the late emperor."
King Xiang, who had always been called the Tenth Prince before he was crowned king, nodded half-understood when he heard the words.
The faces of the courtiers who were originally dazed changed drastically.
The first emperor's princes were rearranged in the tenth year of Yanguang.Before reordering, counting all the deceased princes, the ranking can already be ranked 23rd.
However, Concubine Su stayed in the palace as a female official before she became a concubine in Yanguang's 18th year, and there was never any happy news during this period.
The sixteen princes recorded are the sons of the late Emperor Liu Pin who died young.
The courtiers did not dare to confront Emperor Changping head-on, and all set their sights on Prince Qinghe.
King Qinghe hinted clearly to everyone that no matter whether Ji Yufeng, the so-called sixteenth prince of the former emperor, actually existed, the nine princes who succeeded Ji Yufeng to the throne were all real emperors.
Even if he was not adopted to Ji Yufeng, the Ninth Prince was still a prince when he was an adult.
The clan will not object to this matter.
Although the aristocratic family did not receive any news in advance, when they asked Concubine Lin to propose the adoption of the Ninth Prince to Concubine Su, they fully considered that there might be resistance in the court.
After Prince Qinghe expressed their attitude, they immediately listed several pieces of evidence to confirm the existence of the sixteen princes of the late emperor, and their attitude was more positive than Emperor Changping and the clan.
Seeing this, the courtiers who agreed with the eldest son's succession and had decided to support Ji Jingyu all praised Emperor Changping for his friendship with his younger brother. They all opened their mouths and shut up as 'King Shu' and 'Son of Prince Shu'.
The courtiers who had no direct or indirect interest in this matter glanced over the faces of Emperor Changping, Prince Qinghe, and Concubine Lin's father in turn, and they all chose to remain silent.
King Qinghe said yes.
Regardless of whether there is the so-called sixteenth prince Ji Yufeng of the first emperor, even if the first emperor has green hair on his head, the future King Shu is also a real emperor.
Standing on a high place, Ji Xinxue could see all the surprises on the brows of the officials of the aristocratic family, and couldn't help but touch the confession in his sleeve pocket.
As soon as the palace gate was opened, the Jinwu Guard sent all the signed confessions to him.
Except for Kang Ge, Miss Kang and Qi Yanhe, everyone else chose to sign.
I hope that the people in the family will still be able to laugh so happily when they read the confession.
King Qinghe and Qin Tianjian chose the time to rewrite the jade plate on the spot, and the matter of adoption was basically settled.
The courtiers reported all kinds of important events that happened during the Chinese New Year. They all felt dull in their hearts, and their thoughts were still stuck in the shock of suddenly hearing that the Yu Dynasty was about to have an extra prince.
"Start playing if there is something to do, and retreat to the dynasty if there is nothing to do." ' When the voice sounded, some people stepped forward and mentioned the family members who had been imprisoned in the clan mansion for nine days.
Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng came out at the same time, and said in unison, "The gentleman in the clan's mansion once had the idea of coercing the princess, which is really disrespectful. Please punish the sinner severely, so as to set an example for others."
Ji Mingtong, who was distracted the whole time, was staggered by Ji Jingrou's push, and fell to the ground, covering his face with his wide sleeve and howling dryly.
"Aye, please make the decision for me."
The aristocratic family didn't want to get out of this incident, they just wanted to keep Qi Yanhe at all costs.
They had already made preparations in advance for Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng to convict the family members of any crimes, and immediately refuted Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng's conclusions in a clear and orderly manner.Afterwards, the two of Connotation never investigated the case, and the investigation of the minor quarrel between the two parties has been investigated for eight days, but they have not been able to investigate clearly.
Ji Xinxue didn't care about the harsh words of the courtiers at all. He took out the confession in his wide sleeves and presented it to Emperor Changping, looking in the direction of Yushitai meaningfully and said, "Although I am not sensitive, I know that red mouth and white teeth The most hurtful thing is that this is the testimony of sinners who are disrespectful to my elder sister, and the sinners personally took charge of it."
Emperor Changping browsed through the contents of the twelve confessions one by one, "That's right, you have intentions."
Song Nian and Jing Zhe took the confession and circulated it to the courtiers according to Emperor Changping's instructions.
When the courtiers saw the format of the confession they had never seen before, they all felt their eyes brighten.
The confessions they had seen before were all event-based, recording the framework of what happened.
The confession prepared by Ji Xinxue was people-oriented, and it was all the words spoken by the parties themselves.
Although it may seem trivial to drill, it allows people who read the confession to understand the thoughts of the parties when they made mistakes.
According to the comments under the confession.
Cui Qingsong and Mr. Chen's husband have a good attitude of admitting their mistakes, and suggest that they should be punished lightly.
The four aristocratic sons have a heart of repentance and suggest normal punishment.
Kang Ge, Miss Kang and Qi Yanhe refused to repent and suggested heavy punishment.
When Qi Yanhe's confession was sent to the British public, Yu Heng took out the memorial from his sleeve pocket and read aloud the summary of the crimes against everyone.
It is recommended that Emperor Changping imprison those who admit their mistakes for half a month, those who repent for three months, and those who die without repentance for five years.
Hearing the familiar voice, the British Duke raised his head abruptly, and looked at Yu Heng with tearful eyes. There were pain, complaints, and even resentment in his eyes.
The grandson, who seems to be a sweetheart, regards Yu Heng as the enemy who killed his father.
Ji Xinxue stood in front of Yu Heng, angrily glared at Duke Ying, and subconsciously touched her waist.
I hope that the British Duke can yell at him and give him a chance to smack people in court.
It's a pity that the British public not only didn't lose his composure, but restrained his original emotions in the blink of an eye. The apologetic look in his eyes really made Ji Xinxue disgusting.
Taishi Cui read each confession in turn, wishing he could grab Duke Yingying by the collar and ask him how he taught such an idiot as Qi Yanhe.
Although he couldn't arrange for people to enter the clan mansion, he was able to inquire about unimportant news.
For example, Yu Hengnian has always taken good care of Qi Yanhe because Qi Yanhe is his brother.
Under such circumstances, Kang Ge and Kang's daughter have taken the initiative to bear the biggest crime. Qi Yanhe, who never approached or talked to Princess Jinming from the beginning to the end, can be accused of having a relationship with Kang Ge and Kang's daughter. Same crime?
What a 'talent'!
Cui Taishi winked at his disciples by handing over the confession to others.
No matter what the rest of the people are, Qi Yanhe must come out as soon as possible.
If possible, he would even let Cui Qingsong and Qi Yanhe exchange punishments.
The people from Yushitai exchanged a few words in a low voice, and questioned Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng again.
From the unprecedented format of the confession, to the suspicion that Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng were tortured into tricks, to the fact that Yu Heng and Qi Yanhe had a quarrel when they were young, and there is a possibility of public revenge...Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng's nine-day hard work is completely denied.
Ji Xinxue had accumulated old grievances with Yu Shitai due to the "Shangzhou case" in the early years, and now the other party has repeatedly played on his points, implying that Yu Heng is jealous of Qi Yanhe.
He made up his mind to shame Yu Shitai.
So when the censors' long speeches finally came to an end, instead of denying the censors' slander immediately, Ji Xinxue showed a guilty conscience.
Yu Heng, who was ready to reason with the censor, silently kept his mouth shut, and even took half a step back, so as not to prevent Ji Xinxue from being unable to perform.
Under Ji Xinxue's guidance, the censors determined that Ji Xinxue had forged a statement, and asked Emperor Changping to allow the people in the prison of the Clan Mansion to explain in public.
"Huh?" Emperor Changping put his hand on his forehead, looked calmly at Ji Xinxue, who couldn't hide his panic, and the excited censors, and said casually, "Is this trivial matter going to be resolved in the court?"
"What Aye said is true!" Ji Xinxue immediately accepted Emperor Changping's words and couldn't wait to say, "Aye, please allow Eldest Sister to make peace with you."
Qi Yanhe found that Yu Heng was looking away, and said without thinking, "Look at what he is doing, take me to sleep quickly!"
These days, Yu Heng's special care for him, coupled with the trance and extreme sleepiness and disappointment caused by being frightened by the hairy-legged spider last night, made Qi Yanhe seem to be dreaming back to the time when Yu Heng treated him everything ten years ago.
He stared at Yu Heng with scorching eyes, and he didn't feel at all that whether he was a prisoner or a person being taken care of, his tone and attitude towards Yu Heng were too arrogant.
Cui Qingsong glanced at Qi Yanhe, who was not only angry, but also not guilty at all, and looked at Yu Heng with a sneer, "Ms. Zheng bullied the princess of Xianglin, and her son bullied the king of Xianglin. It can be seen that the slang words are vulgar but reasonable. "The dragon begets the dragon and the phoenix, and the son of a mouse can make holes."
Because the rest of the people were shocked by Qi Yanhe's sudden roar, the originally noisy prison suddenly became silent, Cui Qingsong's words were particularly harsh.
"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Qi Yanhe stared at Cui Qingsong with scarlet eyes, and kicked fiercely towards the fence separating him and Cui Qingsong.
He had long been at odds with Cui Qingsong.Among them, there are both Qi's sons and Cui's sons' rivalry, and because after they were arrested into the clan's mansion, Qi Yanhe was unknowingly squeezed out by the family's sons, while Cui Qingsong became the leader by virtue of his status as the grandson of the grand master. sheep.
Just now, Cui Qingsong took Yu Heng's attention away.
Yu Heng is Qi Yanhe's last hope in the clan's mansion, how could Qi Yanhe not hate Cui Qingsong?
Seeing Qi Yanhe burning with anger, the smile on Cui Qingsong's face became real instead.He ignored Qi Yanhe and turned to Yu Heng to repeat what he said just now.
"I know that Princess Xianglin was bullied by Mrs. Zheng when she first married into the British government."
The distance between Qi Yanhe and Cui Qingsong was very far, and he only had Yu Heng in his eyes. Before that, he hadn't heard clearly how Cui Qingsong attracted Yu Heng's attention.
Hearing these words suddenly at this time, guilt surfaced in the depths of his eyes, and his face became more excited. He suddenly turned around to find the teacup, and slammed hard at Cui Qingsong's position.
Cui Qingsong cannot continue to speak nonsense to sow discord between him and Yu Heng!
It's a pity that the distance between Qi Yanhe and Cui Qingsong is too far, there are several people between them, the teacup fell powerlessly to the ground before it reached Cui Qingsong.
Not only failed to deter Cui Qingsong, but made other people who were almost hit by the teacup look bad, and hated Qi Yanhe even more.
Yu Heng ignored the dispute between the two parties, he was trying to recall the blurred memories of his childhood.
Princess Xianglin spoke ill of many people in front of Yu Heng, the old lady of the British government, the British prince, the British princess, the former British prince, the former British prince's wife... and even Yu Heng's father Qi Shishi.
Compared with these people, Fuwei Qi and Zheng Shi of the third room can almost be said to have no sense of existence.
How could his aunt be bullied by the Zheng family as the princess of the clan?
Yu Heng's eyes skipped over the tense faces of Cui Qingsong and Qi Yanhe, then turned and walked out of the prison.
"Interrogate Cui Qingsong."
"Brother?!" Qi Yanhe stretched out his hand towards Yu Heng's back in disbelief, his tone became more and more flustered, "He said that on purpose because he didn't like me. My aunt has never bullied my aunt!"
Hearing this, Cui Qingsong, who had already walked out of the prison, turned around and gave Qi Yanhe a malicious smile, and strode after Yu Heng, who had only his back left.
With the reputation of Xianglin County King, he doesn't look like a person who repays grievances with virtue.
When Xianglin County King no longer cares about Qi Yanhe, he will see how arrogant Qi Yanhe is.
Cui Qingsong spoke very fast because he desperately wanted to see Qi Yanhe in trouble.
Every time his mother was bullied by the fifth aunt Lin, she would chatter with him about the troubles that made her feel wronged.
Most of them complained about the partiality of the grandfather and grandmother towards the fifth aunt, and the distrust of the daughter-in-law of the concubine, who even loved the daughter-in-law of the concubine as a daughter.Not only did the rest of the daughters-in-law feel wronged for the Lin family, but even the daughters born from the first line had to make concessions for the concubine's daughter-in-law.
Cui Qingsong's mother-in-law envied Lin's daughter from a small family, who not only married high, but was also doted on by her parents-in-law.In just a few years, her natal father took advantage of her to be valued by Grand Master Cui, and changed from a low-level official to a serious official.And because Lin's luck was based on her pain, she hated Lin.
Therefore, Cui Qingsong's mother usually would not admit her envy for Lin.
In her opinion, the person with the best fate is the Zheng family of the British government.
Zheng's husband is the most unpromising person among all the brothers, and the two sisters-in-law born in the first place are both the clan princesses, but she can suppress the clan princesses wantonly by relying on the favor and support of the elders of the British government.
As long as she is not happy, the two princesses will definitely be unlucky.
Princess Xianglin doesn't like the British father-in-law and his wife, and has an indifferent attitude towards Princess Yiyun and the Zheng family, and never considers the issue of being in charge.
Because Princess Yiyun is the eldest son and daughter-in-law, she is very concerned about her parents-in-law's doting on Zheng, and always thinks that Princess Xianglin is also the princess of the clan.
It stands to reason that the person who has the most conflicts with the Zheng family should be Princess Yiyun, but the Zheng family prefers to trouble the Princess Xianglin.
Cui Qingsong considered that Princess Xianglin passed away early, and he didn't know whether Princess Xianglin was more important in the eyes of King Xianglin, or the British government was more important.When mentioning the past about Zheng's bullying of Princess Xianglin, he deliberately picked up trivial matters first, carefully paying attention to Yu Heng's reaction.
Yu Heng was always expressionless, as if his heart was not touched at all, but he was very patient. He never urged Cui Qingsong when he fell into memories, which really made Cui Qingsong unable to see the depth.
As a result, Cui Qingsong's expression became more and more hesitant, and in the end, relying entirely on his hatred for Qi Yanhe, he bit the bullet and told all the things his mother had revealed intentionally or unintentionally.
"I only know so much." Cui Qingsong's eyes no longer showed composure, only growing anxiety.
If in the heart of King Xianglin, the status of people in the British government is higher than that of Princess Xianglin, would you think that he is deliberately sowing discord?
After all, the 'bullying' he mentioned will have different views in the eyes of different people.
Some people think it is a trivial matter, such as him Aye.
Some people will think that this is a brutal training, such as his mother.
While waiting for Yu Heng's reaction, Cui Qingsong thought carefully about what he said just now.
Relying on the fact that the British Duke and Mrs. British will not expose her, she overestimates herself by belittling the Princess Xianglin at the banquet.
Speaking publicly would cause people to misunderstand and ruin the reputation of Princess Xianglin.
When Xianglin princess held a banquet, he tried his best to take advantage of it.
……
Yu Heng lowered his eyelids, not giving Cui Qingsong any chance to spy on his thoughts.
He could understand A Niang's grievance.
Because of the grievances that A Niang suffered from Zheng Shi, he felt it from Qi Yanhe.
What Cui Qingsong said most touched him was what he said in prison, "Zheng's family bullied Xianglin County Lord, and Qi Yanhe bullied Xianglin County King." '
Originally, he no longer wanted to argue with Qi Yanhe about his childhood.
If you count A Niang's grievances.
The mother's debt is paid by the son, and it will be doubled several times.
It took a long time before Yu Heng broke away from the turbulent emotions. He looked at Cui Qingsong who was already sweating on his forehead again, and asked, "Who is the Lin family who is the birth mother of the Ninth Prince?"
Cui Qingsong did not expect that Yu Heng would suddenly bring up something completely unrelated to Princess Xianglin, so he was taken aback for a while before answering honestly, "It didn't matter at first. When Concubine Lin was just named a nobleman, Auntie Wu's natal family used to hold a genealogy tree. I went to Concubine Lin's father and wanted to join her family, but Concubine Lin's father did not refuse for the sake of grandfather."
Yu Heng nodded, "Tell me about Mrs. Lin."
"Jun Wang?" Cui Qingsong looked at Yu Heng in surprise, secretly guarding himself.
Auntie Wu is just a lucky woman in the back house, what can I say?
Yu Heng seemed to be able to see through Cui Qingsong's deepest thoughts, and said with a half-smile, "Apart from being loved by her parents-in-law, is there anything similar to Zheng's?"
"Even if you don't tell me, I can let others look into it." He tempted Cui Qingsong openly, "If you satisfy me, you can stay here tonight."
Cui Qingsong subconsciously looked around.
This is a place for the servants of the clan's mansion to rest temporarily. There is only a bed, a table and chairs on both sides of the table in the room, not even a screen.
In the past, when Cui Qingsong heard that someone asked him to stay overnight in this kind of place, he would definitely think that the other party was deliberately humiliating him.
Now he was overjoyed, and even the dissatisfaction caused by Yu Heng's blatantly taking care of Qi Yanhe was gone, and he told Yu Heng all the things he knew about Lin's without reservation like a bamboo tube pouring beans.
Taishi Cui's fifth daughter-in-law, Lin Shi, was originally the daughter of a petty official, and in any case was not worthy of the son of a third-rank official.
But she was lucky.
Cui Wulang went to the mountains to hunt when he was 15 years old, and got separated from the guards and got lost in the mountains.
When Lin and his family went to the cemetery to worship their ancestors, they happened to find Cui Wulang who was dying.
Cui Wulang fell in love with Lin at first sight. At that time, Cui Taishi and his wife, who were only the imperial doctor, thought of Lin's life-saving grace to Cui Wulang, so they did not object to the marriage.
Before Lin's and Cui Wulang's official engagement, Cui Taishi, in order to look good, deliberately went through the relationship and arranged an official position for Lin's father.
In the next ten years, Lin's natal family enjoyed Cui's promotion.
Now the highest official position in the Lin family is Lin's elder brother, he is lucky to catch up with Liangfei's Dongfeng, and he is serving as the Shaoqing of Sipin Honglu Temple.Although there is no authority in hand, it is a real job.
Speaking of this, Cui Qingsong couldn't hide his jealousy.
When this position was vacated, Cui's daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law almost broke their heads for their mother's family, but in the end, it was Lin who didn't fight or grab anything, and reaped the benefits of the fisherman.
Yu Heng nodded thoughtfully.At the end of the Yanguang Dynasty, when the aristocratic family returned to the court with the help of the concubine Liang, Zheng's father and brother also got positions that were not in line with their status in the Zheng family, and it was very likely that they were related to the Zheng family.
In this way, following Du Du being loved by his parents-in-law, Zheng and Lin have another similarity.
It's not that their natal family supported them and stabilized their position in their in-laws' family. Instead, they were able to ascend to heaven alone, and let their in-laws' family take the initiative to support their natal family.
Finally seeing Yu Heng reacting when he spoke, Cui Qingsong breathed a sigh of relief visibly, and his thoughts became smoother.
Disgust flashed in his eyes, "Lin's son is as annoying as Qi Yanhe."
Lin's son Cui Qingpu and Cui Qingsong are about the same age, only half a year apart, but their status in front of Grand Master Cui and his wife is very different.
Cui Qingsong, who is the concubine's concubine, is the land, and Cui Qingpu, the concubine's house, is the sky.
In an aristocratic family with strict internal hierarchy, while the fellow concubine and concubine rejected Cui Qingpu, they would also mercilessly laugh at Cui Qingsong.
Coincidentally, Cui Qingpu, like Qi Yanhe, is an only child.
It is precisely because Cui Qingpu and Qi Yanhe are highly similar in character and circumstances that Cui Qingsong hates Wu and Wu, and sees Qi Yanhe not pleasing to the eye everywhere.
When he heard that Cui Qingpu was also an only child, Yu Heng tapped the armrest of the chair half wrongly with his fingertips.
He knew the reason why Qi Yanhe was the only son.Deputy Qi injured his body by drinking and drinking outside. Although he relied on various "miracle medicines" to keep his happiness, he could no longer make the woman pregnant.
"Cui Wulang and Mrs. Lin have been married for more than ten years, why do they only have an only son?" Yu Heng asked.
Cui Qingsong said indifferently, "When Cui Qingpu was five years old, Mrs. Lin was pregnant again. It's a pity that she had a miscarriage in June. Not only did the child fail to be born, it also caused Lin's body to be injured, and she could never conceive again."
Even if the child failed to be born, his sister, who was a compatriot, suffered from Lin's hardships just like him and A Niang.
Yu Heng asked a few more questions, and all the answers could draw the conclusion that Lin's circumstances are highly similar to Zheng's.This made him inevitably think of the 'princess' Zhou Wan.
Zhou Wan, Zheng Shi, and Lin Shi.
If there is really a close connection between them... Yu Heng pondered for a while, thinking that only 'ghost stories' could describe this sentence.
He kept his promise, not only allowed Cui Qingsong to stay here to rest, but also confessed to the government servants in front of Cui Qingsong, and satisfied all Cui Qingsong's requirements except for going out or sending messages.
Before the yamen servant responded, Cui Qingsong swore that he would never do anything to embarrass Yu Heng.
Leaving the room, Yu Heng immediately saw Ji Xinxue standing in the corridor looking at the direction of the palace in a daze.
Ji Xinxue deliberately kept the original posture, did not look at Yu Heng, and just handed over the fruit in her hand, "What did Cui Qingsong tell you?"
After interrogating Mr. Green Clothes, he found out that Cui Qingsong had already been taken away by Yu Heng, who claimed to know about Zheng's bullying of Princess Xianglin in the past.
Ji Xinxue is well aware of the importance of Princess Xianglin in Yu Heng's heart, and is very worried about Yu Heng's mood.
Yu Heng held the fruit that Ji Xinxue stuffed him like holding a stove, and said slowly, "I think ten people living in the same room is too aggrieved, and I plan to move half of them to Qi Yanhe's cell."
When Ji Xinxue heard the words, she immediately understood that Cui Qingsong's words were not groundless, and that there were reasons to convince Yu Heng.
He reported the names of five people and suggested, "Move them to Qi Yanhe's cell."
These people were all the ones who frequently troubled Qi Yanhe in the past few days.
Yu Heng should have taken out rock candy from his purse and put it in Ji Xinxue's mouth, instead coaxing Ji Xinxue to feel relieved, "It's all over."
It's fine now, he won't dwell on the past.
Ji Xinxue ate the bitter rock candy, returned to the cell aggressively, and immediately interrogated Qi Yanhe.
He told Qi Yanhe directly that because Yu Heng was so kind to Qi Yanhe, he hated him.
Before Qi Yanhe could react, Ji Xinxue had already waved her hand to the yamen guard to throw Qi Yanhe back to the prison, and by the way picked someone who had been at odds with Qi Yanhe for a long time.
Even though Qi Yanhe pretended to be calm and did not let the aristocrats who were still in prison see his panic, the people who returned to the prison one after another would still look at him with strange eyes.
During today's interrogation, only five people, including Cui Qingsong and Lvyi Langjun, were eligible to sleep outside the prison.
Everyone except Cui Qingsong returned to prison before nightfall.
According to Ji Xinxue's order, the jailer pointed out five people to go to the cell where Qi Yanhe was.
As soon as these words came out, the gentlemen sleeping in Datongpu all looked at Qi Yanhe with malicious intentions.
Qi Yanhe's face trembled violently, and he could no longer keep calm.He pointed at the jailer and yelled at the jailer, angrily reprimanding the other party's fake biography Ji Xinxue's order, and clamored to see Yu Heng.
It's a pity that the jailer ignored Qi Yanhe at all, he only needed to bring out the gentlemen from the adjacent cells.When the gentlemen catch Qi Yanhe through the fence, open Qi Yanhe's cell and let the gentlemen go in.
That night, the aristocratic families in the prison happily occupied Qi Yanhe's "family property", divided up the bedding in Qi Yanhe's cell and other things sent by the British government, forcing Qi Yanhe to curl up in a corner and sleep.
The hairy-legged spider appeared on time in the middle of the night, and the gentlemen of the aristocratic family neatly dealt with the hairy-legged spider in their cells, and looked at Miss Kang with burning eyes.
The Kang girl flinched visibly, but finally picked up the wooden sticks thrown by the gentlemen, screamed and threw it at the hairy-legged spider.
Although the process was extremely tortuous, they could at least close their eyes before midnight.
It's a pity that the shadow of the hairy-legged spider has firmly shrouded their hearts. Even if they close their eyes, they dare not fall asleep, and even pinch their thighs to keep calm.
I'm afraid that when I'm asleep, a big spider with hairy legs will appear quietly and crawl to...
Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng also couldn't sleep. They compared the experiences of Lin, Zheng, and Zhou Wan, and found many similarities.
For example, Zhou Wan was out of the public's sight because of her filial piety for three years.Zheng Shi also prayed for her grandmother when she was seven years old, and went to the female temple to meditate for three years.Lin was weak since she was a child, and the old friends of the Lin family only knew that the Lin family had a young daughter, but before Lin was 12 years old, no one outside the Lin family had ever seen Lin in person.
These three people are all in the process of growing up, and they may be dropped quietly.
Zhou Wan's family members were all killed in the fire, and it is impossible to compare their way of getting along.
The Zheng family and her natal family... can't say they have a bad relationship, it's just a little strange.She rarely mentioned her natal family, but her natal family missed her very much.Not only is the four festivals and eight etiquettes always thoughtful, but she also gives her money from time to time.As a married woman, Zheng never returned the gift.
The distance between Gyeonggi and Chang'an is not too far, and it only takes two days for Mrs. Zheng to go home.However, she has been married to the British government for nearly 20 years and has never returned home.
Lin's situation is the same as that of Zheng's. Her natal family cares about her far more than she cares about her natal family.Her natal family is closer than Zheng's, but she also hasn't been back home for more than 20 years.
……
The more you compare them in detail, the more similarities the three have.
When it was dawn, Ji Xinxue wrote all the details he and Yu Heng had sorted out in a secret letter, and asked the Jinwu Guard to send him back to the palace.
Then continue to interrogate Shi Jiazi.
Because an honest confession can actually improve their lives, the attitude of the members of the aristocratic family has changed from passive coping to racking their brains to think about what Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng want to hear.
Ji Xinxue still gave Qi Yanhe the benefits of being able to wash with hot water and change new clothes every day in the name of Yu Heng.Turning around, he told the family members that he disliked Qi Yanhe very much because the British Duke always sent people to find Yu Heng and asked Yu Heng to take care of Qi Yanhe.
The members of the aristocratic family also hate Qi Yanhe, who is extraordinarily "lucky", because Yu Heng and Ji Xinxue blatantly gave Qi Yanhe various preferential treatment, so they reluctantly endured their dissatisfaction.
Now it is discovered that only Xianglin County King takes care of Qi Yanhe due to the affection of his brothers, and Princess Anwu doesn't like Qi Yanhe, so her mind has become active.They all tried to curry favor with Princess Anwu by making Qi Yanhe unhappy, and seize the preferential treatment that originally belonged to Qi Yanhe.
Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, interrogating the children of the aristocratic family on time and on time every day.
Because they successfully squeezed out Qi Yanhe and got preferential treatment, the members of the aristocratic family subconsciously regarded Ji Xinxue as a reasonable person, and unconsciously became less and less defensive.It was discovered that Ji Xinxue was particularly interested in the family affairs of the parents, and they almost told about their own family affairs to please Ji Xinxue.
The so-called family ugliness should not be publicized, of course the affairs of the family cannot be said, and the affairs of the other families... Even if they don't say it, Princess Anwu can find out from other places.
Compared with Ji Xinxue, who is kind and down-to-earth, Yu Heng looks extraordinarily cold.Every time, he repeatedly asked the aristocratic family members about the banquet in the Marquis of Runan, patiently poking out the logical loopholes in everyone's words.
In order to cope with Yu Heng's pressing questions, the members of the aristocratic family could only tear apart the east wall to make up for the west wall, unknowingly revealing many things that they didn't intend to say but leaving even bigger logical loopholes.
Over and over again, Yu Heng almost emptied the aristocratic children.
As a result, when Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng went to interrogate the sons of the aristocratic family, except for Qi Yanhe who kept looking eagerly at Yu Heng, everyone else stared at Ji Xinxue anxiously, fearing that Yu Heng would choose him away.
Can chat with Princess Anwu, who wants to face the cold face of Xianglin County King?
Only Kang Ge, who is most afraid of being interrogated by Yu Heng with the "affectionate script" in hand, can get the humility of the family members.
On the morning of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng jointly interrogated the son of the family for the first time.
They listed the statement based on Yu Heng's questioning for several days, and asked the family members to confirm the content of the statement and sign it.
Thinking that the members of the aristocratic family did not plan to attack Ji Cheng and Ji Mingtong, Ji Xinxue did not deliberately tamper with the confession.
Every word recorded in the confession is a word spoken by the sons of the aristocratic family.
The original plan of the aristocratic family was to help Kang Ge persuade Ji Mingtong to go to Qinghe Hutong, so that Ji Mingtong could hear the explanation from the outer room. '
Although they didn't have the idea of persecuting Ji Mingtong in their hearts, they behaved like bandits.
They subconsciously believed that it was normal for Ji Mingtong to be willing to meet the outer room in Qinghe Hutong, and if he didn't want to go, it was because he didn't believe Kang Ge's explanation.For the sake of Kang Ge and Ji Mingtong, they must convince Ji Mingtong of Kang Ge's explanation.
Because Ji Cheng speaks with a gun and a stick, every word and every word is poked at their most painful place, and he strikes first, the family members will "be unable to bear it".
Everyone who saw the confession was surprised.
Only three people chose to sign after a short silence, and the rest refused to admit that the contents of the statement were their own words, and some even tried to tear up the statement.
Ji Xinxue rushed back to the palace to have a reunion dinner with her family, and was too lazy to confront the family members. When she saw someone who refused to face reality, she asked the jailer to take him away.
He and Yu Heng respectively wrote the comments of 'admitting mistakes positively, and can be punished lightly' on the confessions of those who voluntarily signed and pledged, and left the confessions in the clan mansion, and returned to the palace for a reunion dinner.
The jailer will take the unsigned statement and all the records of Yu Heng's interrogation of the aristocratic children, and carefully explain to those who refuse to sign the statement where every sentence in the statement comes from.
Until dark, those who are willing to sign and pledge can take a hot bath, change into new clothes, and have a sumptuous dinner on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
The reunion banquet in the palace is held in Ningshou Palace.
Ji Minyan and the others have already returned to Chang'an one after another, and Ji Mingtong has also recovered his previous vigor, smiling and snuggling up beside Concubine Su, acting like a spoiled child.
When Ji Xinxue saw A Buhan Bing, he subconsciously rubbed his eyes.
It's not dazzled?
He turned to look for Yu Heng, wanting to share his complicated feelings with him.When he finally saw Yu Heng's back, his mood became more complicated.
Why is Ji Cheng here?
Seeing that Ji Jingyu was still there, Ji Xinxue didn't go there, and she didn't dare to ask Ji Mingtong, who was snuggling beside Concubine Su, so she could only go to Ji Jingrou.
"Huh?" There was surprise in Ji Jingrou's eyes, "Last year, Cheng also had a reunion dinner in the palace."
Before Ji Xinxue could answer, Ji Jingrou suddenly exclaimed, "We were in a fiefdom last year, and I don't seem to have told you about it."
While speaking, Ji Jingrou gently touched Ji Xinxue's neck.
She seems to be suffering from amnesia.
When you see Axue in men's clothing, you will forget Axue in women's clothing.
Seeing A Xue in women's clothing, but forgetting A Xue in men's clothing.
It would be great if Baoshan's delusion was reality.Ah Xue is not alone, but two twins, she can have a beautiful younger sister and a handsome younger brother at the same time.
Ugh.
Ji Xinxue nimbly avoided Ji Jingrou's palm, as if talking to herself, "It was there last year?"
It really complied with the phrase 'everything must be guarded against, but a house thief is hard to guard against'.
Ji Jingrou couldn't touch his Adam's apple, regret flashed across his eyebrows, and he said casually, "You don't think Ah Buhan Bing is strange, but you think Ji Cheng is strange."
When Ji Xinxue heard this, she could only face Ji Jingrou with a smile.
In the first court meeting in six years of Changping, Ji Jingrou, Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng officially entered the court.
Ji Xinxue was wearing a princess court dress and standing behind Ji Jingyu, who was tall and straight. When she raised her eyelids, she could see Ji Minyan, Ji Jingrou and sleepy-eyed Ji Mingtong on the opposite side, and Yu Heng stood on the other side.
The first major event in the opening of the dynasty, Emperor Changping wanted to crown his younger brother who died young.
The courtiers looked at each other, and they all praised Emperor Changping for his friendship and love for his brothers.
Death at an early age is equivalent to having no children, and titles cannot be passed on.
Emperor Changping looked at the courtiers with emotion in his eyes, claiming that he was ashamed and did not dare to be called a friendly brother.
When King Xiang heard the words, he immediately came out with more people, citing scriptures to affirm Emperor Changping's love for his brothers, and he was so emotional that he wished to overturn the glazed tiles.At the same time, he circulated among the courtiers with murderous eyes.
It must have been something these people said or did that made Brother suddenly have a different understanding of 'Brother'.
He is very satisfied with his life now, and he doesn't want to see brother change in how he treats his brothers.
Don't let him find out who is slandering in front of brother, otherwise he will have to take off this person's skin!
The courtiers found out that King Xiang was dissatisfied, and wished they could engrave the word "injustice" on their foreheads.
King Xiang is just an idle prince who seldom does errands and has no real power.They didn't lose their minds, what did they do to deal with King Xiang?
Although they felt that King Xiang had a lot of things to do, none of the courtiers wanted to offend the emperor's favored younger brother, and pinched their noses to comfort Emperor Changping, wishing to praise Emperor Changping as the most respectable elder brother since ancient times.He secretly hoped that Emperor Changping would stop lamenting as soon as possible, otherwise King Xiang might go crazy and bite people at any time.
After a long time, Emperor Changping restrained his emotions reluctantly and let Songnian formally announce the decree.
Ji Yufeng, the sixteenth son of the first emperor, was posthumously named Shu Wang, and the adopted nine princes were named Shu Wang's son.
Except for those who had heard the news and the aristocratic families who had intended this for a long time, most of the courtiers had a blank look on their faces.
Your Majesty is willing to adopt a child?
Who are the sixteen sons of the first emperor?
Ji Yufeng?It's like I've never heard the name before.
Prince Qinghe, who rarely went to court, took half a step forward, and said solemnly, "The sixteen sons of the late emperor were conceived by Concubine Su before the reordering of the princes of the late emperor."
King Xiang, who had always been called the Tenth Prince before he was crowned king, nodded half-understood when he heard the words.
The faces of the courtiers who were originally dazed changed drastically.
The first emperor's princes were rearranged in the tenth year of Yanguang.Before reordering, counting all the deceased princes, the ranking can already be ranked 23rd.
However, Concubine Su stayed in the palace as a female official before she became a concubine in Yanguang's 18th year, and there was never any happy news during this period.
The sixteen princes recorded are the sons of the late Emperor Liu Pin who died young.
The courtiers did not dare to confront Emperor Changping head-on, and all set their sights on Prince Qinghe.
King Qinghe hinted clearly to everyone that no matter whether Ji Yufeng, the so-called sixteenth prince of the former emperor, actually existed, the nine princes who succeeded Ji Yufeng to the throne were all real emperors.
Even if he was not adopted to Ji Yufeng, the Ninth Prince was still a prince when he was an adult.
The clan will not object to this matter.
Although the aristocratic family did not receive any news in advance, when they asked Concubine Lin to propose the adoption of the Ninth Prince to Concubine Su, they fully considered that there might be resistance in the court.
After Prince Qinghe expressed their attitude, they immediately listed several pieces of evidence to confirm the existence of the sixteen princes of the late emperor, and their attitude was more positive than Emperor Changping and the clan.
Seeing this, the courtiers who agreed with the eldest son's succession and had decided to support Ji Jingyu all praised Emperor Changping for his friendship with his younger brother. They all opened their mouths and shut up as 'King Shu' and 'Son of Prince Shu'.
The courtiers who had no direct or indirect interest in this matter glanced over the faces of Emperor Changping, Prince Qinghe, and Concubine Lin's father in turn, and they all chose to remain silent.
King Qinghe said yes.
Regardless of whether there is the so-called sixteenth prince Ji Yufeng of the first emperor, even if the first emperor has green hair on his head, the future King Shu is also a real emperor.
Standing on a high place, Ji Xinxue could see all the surprises on the brows of the officials of the aristocratic family, and couldn't help but touch the confession in his sleeve pocket.
As soon as the palace gate was opened, the Jinwu Guard sent all the signed confessions to him.
Except for Kang Ge, Miss Kang and Qi Yanhe, everyone else chose to sign.
I hope that the people in the family will still be able to laugh so happily when they read the confession.
King Qinghe and Qin Tianjian chose the time to rewrite the jade plate on the spot, and the matter of adoption was basically settled.
The courtiers reported all kinds of important events that happened during the Chinese New Year. They all felt dull in their hearts, and their thoughts were still stuck in the shock of suddenly hearing that the Yu Dynasty was about to have an extra prince.
"Start playing if there is something to do, and retreat to the dynasty if there is nothing to do." ' When the voice sounded, some people stepped forward and mentioned the family members who had been imprisoned in the clan mansion for nine days.
Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng came out at the same time, and said in unison, "The gentleman in the clan's mansion once had the idea of coercing the princess, which is really disrespectful. Please punish the sinner severely, so as to set an example for others."
Ji Mingtong, who was distracted the whole time, was staggered by Ji Jingrou's push, and fell to the ground, covering his face with his wide sleeve and howling dryly.
"Aye, please make the decision for me."
The aristocratic family didn't want to get out of this incident, they just wanted to keep Qi Yanhe at all costs.
They had already made preparations in advance for Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng to convict the family members of any crimes, and immediately refuted Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng's conclusions in a clear and orderly manner.Afterwards, the two of Connotation never investigated the case, and the investigation of the minor quarrel between the two parties has been investigated for eight days, but they have not been able to investigate clearly.
Ji Xinxue didn't care about the harsh words of the courtiers at all. He took out the confession in his wide sleeves and presented it to Emperor Changping, looking in the direction of Yushitai meaningfully and said, "Although I am not sensitive, I know that red mouth and white teeth The most hurtful thing is that this is the testimony of sinners who are disrespectful to my elder sister, and the sinners personally took charge of it."
Emperor Changping browsed through the contents of the twelve confessions one by one, "That's right, you have intentions."
Song Nian and Jing Zhe took the confession and circulated it to the courtiers according to Emperor Changping's instructions.
When the courtiers saw the format of the confession they had never seen before, they all felt their eyes brighten.
The confessions they had seen before were all event-based, recording the framework of what happened.
The confession prepared by Ji Xinxue was people-oriented, and it was all the words spoken by the parties themselves.
Although it may seem trivial to drill, it allows people who read the confession to understand the thoughts of the parties when they made mistakes.
According to the comments under the confession.
Cui Qingsong and Mr. Chen's husband have a good attitude of admitting their mistakes, and suggest that they should be punished lightly.
The four aristocratic sons have a heart of repentance and suggest normal punishment.
Kang Ge, Miss Kang and Qi Yanhe refused to repent and suggested heavy punishment.
When Qi Yanhe's confession was sent to the British public, Yu Heng took out the memorial from his sleeve pocket and read aloud the summary of the crimes against everyone.
It is recommended that Emperor Changping imprison those who admit their mistakes for half a month, those who repent for three months, and those who die without repentance for five years.
Hearing the familiar voice, the British Duke raised his head abruptly, and looked at Yu Heng with tearful eyes. There were pain, complaints, and even resentment in his eyes.
The grandson, who seems to be a sweetheart, regards Yu Heng as the enemy who killed his father.
Ji Xinxue stood in front of Yu Heng, angrily glared at Duke Ying, and subconsciously touched her waist.
I hope that the British Duke can yell at him and give him a chance to smack people in court.
It's a pity that the British public not only didn't lose his composure, but restrained his original emotions in the blink of an eye. The apologetic look in his eyes really made Ji Xinxue disgusting.
Taishi Cui read each confession in turn, wishing he could grab Duke Yingying by the collar and ask him how he taught such an idiot as Qi Yanhe.
Although he couldn't arrange for people to enter the clan mansion, he was able to inquire about unimportant news.
For example, Yu Hengnian has always taken good care of Qi Yanhe because Qi Yanhe is his brother.
Under such circumstances, Kang Ge and Kang's daughter have taken the initiative to bear the biggest crime. Qi Yanhe, who never approached or talked to Princess Jinming from the beginning to the end, can be accused of having a relationship with Kang Ge and Kang's daughter. Same crime?
What a 'talent'!
Cui Taishi winked at his disciples by handing over the confession to others.
No matter what the rest of the people are, Qi Yanhe must come out as soon as possible.
If possible, he would even let Cui Qingsong and Qi Yanhe exchange punishments.
The people from Yushitai exchanged a few words in a low voice, and questioned Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng again.
From the unprecedented format of the confession, to the suspicion that Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng were tortured into tricks, to the fact that Yu Heng and Qi Yanhe had a quarrel when they were young, and there is a possibility of public revenge...Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng's nine-day hard work is completely denied.
Ji Xinxue had accumulated old grievances with Yu Shitai due to the "Shangzhou case" in the early years, and now the other party has repeatedly played on his points, implying that Yu Heng is jealous of Qi Yanhe.
He made up his mind to shame Yu Shitai.
So when the censors' long speeches finally came to an end, instead of denying the censors' slander immediately, Ji Xinxue showed a guilty conscience.
Yu Heng, who was ready to reason with the censor, silently kept his mouth shut, and even took half a step back, so as not to prevent Ji Xinxue from being unable to perform.
Under Ji Xinxue's guidance, the censors determined that Ji Xinxue had forged a statement, and asked Emperor Changping to allow the people in the prison of the Clan Mansion to explain in public.
"Huh?" Emperor Changping put his hand on his forehead, looked calmly at Ji Xinxue, who couldn't hide his panic, and the excited censors, and said casually, "Is this trivial matter going to be resolved in the court?"
"What Aye said is true!" Ji Xinxue immediately accepted Emperor Changping's words and couldn't wait to say, "Aye, please allow Eldest Sister to make peace with you."
