[Qing Chuan] The Empress Dowager Raising Cubs Daily

Yin Qi racked his brains to recite a few poems in stumbles.

Fortunately, Kangxi didn't expect much from Yinqi, and he applauded happily just for that.The officials around him didn't dare to have any opinions, and they all boasted again and again, and those who didn't know thought Yin Qi was a genius.

As for turning around and muttering secretly, that's another matter.

Yin Qi was slightly relieved.

He retreated politely, waited until there was no trace of Ama Khan and the officials, and immediately rushed forward, angrily beating Qiqige with his small fists: "Mama Huang, Mama Huang! You are too much QAQ !"

Qiqige giggled and hid.

She tilted her head pretending to be puzzled: "What's the matter? Huang Mama obviously wants Yinqi to show off!"

You want to see me out of embarrassment! ?

Yinqi's cheeks were puffed up, and he chased Mama Huang around several times.His legs were already weak from climbing the mountain, and he was so tired that he was panting after two strokes. He still refused to give up and had to chase after him, screaming, "Huang Mama—Huang Mama! Stop!!!"

It looked pitiful and funny.

Qiqige stopped, hugged Yinqi who was rushing over, and laughed happily.

Compared with the happy atmosphere of the two, the atmosphere of Yinzhi and Yinzhen on one side is much lower.The main reason was that Yinzhi was full of doubts. He turned his head and asked Yinzhen: "Fourth brother, isn't it easy to recite poems?"

Yinzhen thought about it and nodded.

After a pause, he continued: "It's a very simple matter for us, but for Yinqi, it's... not so simple."

Yinzhi thought about it too.

He looked at Yinqi worriedly, a little worried in his heart: "Yinqi will also enter school next year, right? Just like his test scores..." He won't repeat a grade! ?

Yinzhi and Yinzhen met each other at a glance.

Although Yinzhi didn't go on, Yinzhen understood what he meant.The corner of Yinzhen's mouth twitched: "...it should, shouldn't it?"

"Third Brother..." Your reaction was hesitant, huh?

"...Maybe we can give him tutoring, tutoring?" Yinzhi laughed, and then thought of a way.

Yin Zhen nodded heavily.

Yin Qi, who was rolling in Huang Mama's arms, sneezed. He looked around suspiciously, and then smiled carefree, completely unaware of how much shadow his future student career would be cast.

At least Yinqi is happy now :)

After a short rest, Kangxi led the people to tour around Mount Tai.The scenery next to it is not bad, which frequently attracts exclamation and laughter, but when they arrive at one place, everyone's expressions are slightly taken aback.

The governor of Tai'an has not yet noticed the abnormality of the atmosphere.

He described it vividly: "...When the parents are seriously ill, the filial sons in the family will jump off the cliff with their lives to keep their parents healthy, so they are named Sheshen Cliff. In Tai'an City, there is a filial son Tian Shun who fell into the cliff because of his mother's serious illness. His mother recovered from her illness..."

Empress Dowager showed displeasure.

It was rare for her to sternly reprimand before the emperor said: "Shut up!"

Tai'an Governor's voice stopped abruptly.

He looked at the masters in fear and bewilderment, only then did he realize that there was something wrong with everyone's expressions.

The empress dowager's complexion was as cold as ice.

Qiqige also looked worried, and she took the children into her arms: "Where in the world is there a mother who is willing to watch her children jump off the cliff in exchange for her own safety? Treating diseases, the imperial court has promoted medical centers for many years, in your eyes Wouldn't it be quicker to kill a human?"

Kangxi was even more furious: "As early as the previous dynasty, some officials mentioned the word mourning and foolishness here, but you still consider it a good thing if you don't prohibit it? It's really stupid!"

Tai'an Governor's face turned pale.

The officials of Tai'an Mansion knelt down on the floor, pleading guilty again and again.

Kangxi didn't even look at Tai'an Governor, but spoke to the state affairs in a deep voice: "Immediately ask someone to set up a monument here to persuade people to stop anyone from jumping off the cliff."

All the good mood was ruined by this incident.

When she returned to the mansion in Tai'an Mansion, Qiqige was also restless.She simply called the guards and asked them to search for the family of the filial son who jumped off the cliff according to what the governor of Tai'an said earlier.

"Emperor Niang is worried that this person's family will be implicated?"

"Yes." Qiqige was worried, "He fulfilled his filial piety, and where did he put his mother, wife, and children?"

Where is the good life for women in this era?

Qiqige sighed: "It's fine if that 'filial son' has any heirs, but if there are no heirs..."

The queen's face sank slightly.

As long as she thought about it for a while, she couldn't help but change her face: "It's just..."

The Empress Dowager twisted the beads.

She remained silent, and a trace of worry appeared in her brows and eyes: "What the empress dowager said is that this matter needs to be investigated carefully."

The three masters spoke, and the guards went to do it immediately.

It wasn't until the morning of the third day that the guards came to report: "The man who jumped off the cliff was named Tian Shun, and he was even from Tianjia Village, Tai'an Prefecture. His mother... died of lack of money for medical treatment one month after his death."

Qiqige was not surprised by this, and only sighed softly.

The guard continued to say: "He left his wife, son, and daughter. His son also died of illness in January, and his wife and daughter..."

The guard was silent for a long time.

Qiqige felt even more uneasy: "Say."

The guard replied in a low voice: "His wife and daughter were sold to merchants by the Tian family clan, and their whereabouts are unknown now."

Qiqige held her breath.

When she came back to her senses, her heart was beating like a drum, and she couldn't help taking a big breath.

The queen turned pale.

The Empress Dowager even slapped the table with her palm: "Where is the governor of Tai'an? The Ai family wants him to see, what are the consequences of foolish filial piety?"

What a family, it was ruined.

Wait—the Empress Dowager narrowed her eyes and asked a question: "Is this really an accident?"

Qiqige and the queen were shocked.

They looked at each other, feeling a little uneasy.The queen bit her lips, pondered for a moment and said slowly: "As early as the previous dynasty, Sheshenya should have been forbidden to jump off the cliff. Judging from the words of the governor of Tai'an, there are not many people jumping from Sheshenya, otherwise there would be no jumping." Take this person out alone and say..."

His mother and son died in January.

The wife and daughter were sold to merchants and sent to a distant place...

Everywhere inside is reasonable, and everywhere is irrational.

The more the three thought about it, the more they felt something was wrong, so they simply called Kangxi, Yinreng and Yinti to discuss it together.

Kangxi got angry and let it go.

At the first glance, when he heard Qiqige mention the following things, his expression also changed slightly.

Yuxiao's jumping off a cliff and murdering his life are two different things.

Kangxi's face darkened slightly, and he turned his head and ordered the guards around him to bring dozens of martial arts experts up the mountain to find the corpse at the bottom of the cliff. At the same time, he immediately summoned the officials of Tai'an Mansion to re-check the matter.

Tianjiacun is not big.

As the name suggests, the village is all surnamed Tian, ​​and they all belong to the same clan.It's just that it's been a long time, and the blood relationship between the families has long been not close. For example, Tian Shun and the family of the head of the Zhizhi village have the same surname, and they even have five clothes.

The guard officials brought back many clansmen for questioning.

After all, not everyone is close. Tian Shun's family has been some familiar neighbors and friends in the village for decades.When someone asked about it, some clansmen quickly expressed their doubts.

Tian Shun's family happened three years ago.

First, the neighbors of Tian Shun's family told the guards that Tian Shun's mother was ill. Tian Shun originally wanted to send his mother to the city to see a doctor, but he never mentioned going to Sheshenya.

Secondly, his wife wanted to report to the police, but she was arrested as soon as she ran out of the village. They went to the village head's house to make a noise, but it was useless. All his wives and daughters were sold to passing merchants.

"When we know, no one has seen it."

"None of you have seen it?" Yinfeng who came to check the progress of the case raised his eyebrows and asked in disbelief.

"Caomin has never seen it before, only heard that it is a businessman."

"The grass people have never seen it before."

Everyone shook their heads.

Yinti spoke bluntly: "Then how do you know that he was sold instead of dead?"

The clansmen were silent for a while.

Yinfeng and Yinti could tell that the people in front of them spoke nicely, and they were probably one of the accomplices who were ignoring and watching from the sidelines. Only when they found out that the government office was interfering, did they anxiously want to get rid of their own affairs from it.

After a while, a clansman raised his hand cautiously.

He said in a trembling voice: "Reporting to the official...the village chief has indeed sold Tian Shun's family."

Everyone looked at the clansman in unison.

He whispered nervously: "I sent it away overnight... the little girl was digging bamboo shoots on the mountain and saw it..."

This was the first person who said that he had seen Tian Shun's wife in the background.

Yinfeng sent someone to bring this man's daughter in. The girl is only fourteen or fifteen years old now, and she is black and thin and short. When she heard the words Tian Shun's family, she was so frightened that she covered her head and crouched on the ground trembling.

The clansman kowtowed repeatedly: "The little girl was so frightened that she developed a high fever when she came back, and it took three days for her fever to subside. Later, later, I couldn't hear these things. As soon as I heard them..."

This is definitely impossible to ask.

Yinfeng signaled the palace people to send the girl down, and then looked at the clansman: "Then what did she say?"

The clansman swallowed his saliva.

He replied in a low voice: "Yes... She thought that the merchant was dragging a livestock when she saw it from a distance, but she took a few glances at the strange shape, but when she got closer, she realized that it belonged to Tian Shun's family... ...the whole body, there is no good skin on the whole body."

Yinfeng and Yinti didn't come to their senses at first.

Then they woke up, their faces turned blue, and they felt their stomachs were overwhelmed, and they were about to vomit.

Livestock, no good hides!

Isn't it, isn't it naked/naked/naked and dragged by others! ?

Yinti slapped his palm on the table: "Why didn't you report to the official?"

The clansman knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "Caomin, Caomin dare not...Tian Shun is gone like this, Caomin, Caomin only has one daughter, if Caomin disappears, Caomin's daughter... Caomin's daughter may also live I can't go down!"

Yinfeng and Yinti's faces were not good-looking.

Qiqige, the empress dowager, and the queen who got the news looked even worse.

The source of all this begins with the Three Obediences and the Four Virtues.

Obedience to the father before marriage, obedience to the husband after marriage, and obedience to the son after the death of the husband, means that women have no inheritance rights, and at the same time, this body also belongs to men.If an unmarried daughter loses her father, the guardianship goes to her elder brother, and if she has no brothers, it goes to the clan.

If a married woman loses her husband and son, custody will also be handed over to the clan.If some married women are willing to observe the festival, the wealthier clan will usually leave some Susukida for them to live on, and more clans will sell the girls and confiscate the family property.

As for the dowry?That is also owned by the clan.

When Tian Shun died, his mother and young son died, and his wife and daughter became fish and meat, ready to be slaughtered.

The issue is--

Could it be that the deaths of these people, like Tian Shun, were not natural disasters and accidents at all, but man-made disasters?
