Aristocratic family's career in the Red Chamber

The second prince's mansion was built on the most prosperous Qianzheng Street. A single mansion occupies an entire street. Walking three streets to the north is the imperial palace. Just looking at the location and scale of this mansion, you can tell that the emperor has great respect for the second prince. Prince, how much you love me.

In the high gate compound, ordinary people dare not come to this street easily on weekdays, but in front of the second prince's gate, it never looks deserted. For this reason, the prince deliberately vacated a large area, just to accommodate the carriages and horses of those visiting guests.

At this time, the open space was crowded with carriages and horses, and in the stable next to it, there were all good horses pulling carts from various prefectures.On the other side, it is a place where the servants take a rest. Over there, the masters celebrate with wine, and on this side, the servants sit around and eat some rough food, while imagining how lively the banquet hall on the other side will be...

But right now, the place is silent, except for the smell of blood, there is nothing left.

Plum got into the vegetable cellar, in the darkness where he couldn't see his fingers. He listened carefully to the movement above, and when he was sure that there were insects hissing, he tiptoed up, slightly opened the partition board, and looked around carefully. Seeing something clearly, he smelled a strong smell of blood at the tip of his nose.He got up cautiously, his face and hands were covered with ashes, and he was wearing black clothes. He was so shady, at first glance, he really couldn't be found.

He walked forward quietly, towards the direction of the kitchen. After walking a few steps, he saw Liu Qi, the usually arrogant chef, with his fat body lying on the ground, his eyes wide open, and his clothes, which were always clean, were full of is blood.

Li Zi hurriedly covered his mouth to prevent himself from screaming, and took two steps forward. Everyone in the kitchen was dead. His lips trembled twice, and he hurried to the cooking place. There are many large and small jars, and he picks out a few jars familiarly. Some of them are oily, and some are solid. This is the oil prepared by the mansion. There are lard, rapeseed, peanut, soybean, and sesame oils. Li Zi picked out the lard and threw it on the woodpile, took the vegetable oil and poured it into the servant's room at the back, and went to the warehouse to get two jars of spirits. When they reached the door rail, window curtain, and then took out the fire folders, they clicked on them one by one.

The flames sprang up in an instant.

The second prince's mansion is magnificent and the materials are precious, but it was carefully built for the owner of the front yard. These kitchens are for the servants to live in, but they are made of flammable fir wood. It was wine, and after a while, the fire spread.

Li Zi didn't love the stack either, so he hurried back to hide in the vegetable cellar.

The person who told him to do these things told him that if he was unlucky, he might be found and killed. Of course, if he survived, someone would give him 500 taels of silver so that he could change his name Change your surname and leave the capital to live a good life.

Li Zi was afraid of death and wanted money, but seeing the appearance outside, he knew that the second prince's mansion might be in bad luck. Realizing this, he felt that death was nothing to be afraid of.

Li Zi's parents passed away one after another when he was a child, and he lived in his uncle's house. His sister raised him by selling herself as a slave.Later, the girl served by his elder sister was sent to the second prince's mansion as an aunt, and the elder sister also tried her best to serve the master, but one day, the second prince was drunk, saw her sister, and praised her for her good eyes. As a result, the next day, his sister Aunt Luo gouged out her eyes, saying that she seduced the master, and twenty boards beat her to death.

If it wasn't for the second prince, if it wasn't for Aunt Luo, his sister wouldn't have died.

He sneaked into the second prince's mansion, wanting to avenge his sister, but he was just the most shallow servant, he could only work in the utility room, and couldn't go to the front yard at all, let alone revenge.

Therefore, when someone gave him information and asked him to set fire to the mansion at that time, on the condition that Aunt Luo must be killed, he agreed without hesitation.

He knew that today's matter was not simple, but so what?As long as his sister's revenge can be avenged, even if he dies, there is nothing to regret.

In the dark night, when the fire was lit up, some patrolling people saw it, and the man in black who slaughtered the guests panicked: "How could there be a fire? Who set the fire?"

"I can't stay any longer, let's go now!"

There were also surviving guests lying limp on the ground, crying loudly.

Jia Hu looked at the place where the flames were soaring into the sky, and led his subordinates: "Quick, let's go and have a look!"

On a street in front of the Second Prince's Mansion, I saw people from Wucheng Bingmasi who had also rushed over. Everyone looked at each other and rushed over...

The crown prince might be able to buy people off to patrol the street for a while, but when the flames rise and everyone can see them, no one dares to act stupid and pretend they didn't see them...

The Guarding Barracks, the Infantry Commander's Yamen, the Wucheng Bingma Division, and the Fire Dragon Division all heard the news and hurried over...

Ganyi Palace, the palace where the emperor favors concubines, is always lively and luxurious on weekdays, but at this moment, in the silent room, the queen is sitting on a chair, the most charming concubine Shugui, but Lie stiffly on the kang, shouting like a lunatic: "Mr. Li, you woman with a vicious heart, you dare to make trouble and murder the emperor, you will die!"

Beside her, slumped on the chair, panting heavily, with a blue and black complexion, who else could it be except the current Holy Majesty?

The queen took the time to flick her nails, looked mockingly at her rival who had been fighting for a lifetime, and couldn't help sneering: "Xia Yuanyuan, Xia Yuanyuan, why don't you understand now? The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. The loser is the king." You guys, I murdered the emperor, I committed a crime against the emperor, I will die badly, tell me, who could it be?"

Concubine Shu's face turned pale: "If you act so perversely, the important officials in the court will not agree, they will resist, they will rise up to resist. There is also Fengtai Camp, and the imperial guards, Li Shi, don't be complacent, sooner or later you will Someone's coming to fix you."

"Get rid of me?" The queen laughed loudly, "What's none of my business? It's the second prince who took advantage of the situation to make trouble. He wanted to murder the prince and force the palace. This palace and the prince are just suppressing traitors. What's wrong?"

Concubine Shu looked at the queen with your crazy expression on her face: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

The queen looked to the right, and a person came out quickly. Concubine Shu gasped as she looked at it. The man was dressed in a military uniform, but it was the second prince, Tu Youzhan, whom she had seen on the hunting grounds before. His confidant, General Yiwu Wu Qiang.

The queen sighed: "The second prince is deeply attached to the throne, so he is willing to risk the disgrace of the world. Under the pretense that the children in the family want to celebrate his birthday, he privately mobilized troops and horses, entered the palace, attempted to murder the palace and the prince, and threatened the emperor to write down The edict to pass on the throne, Mr. Wu was loyal to the monarch and the country, but at the last moment, he was persuaded by the palace and the crown prince...you are a traitor, and at this moment, I am afraid that he has already been executed."

Concubine Shu was really stupid: "What do you mean? You did something to my son? Mrs. Li, you dare to touch my son?!"

"Slap!" The queen suddenly slapped her fiercely, causing Concubine Shu to turn her face away, and she was completely stunned. The emperor was on the side, his eyes instantly showed pain, and he glared at the queen angrily.

The queen sneered: "That's it, it's always been like this, this bitch is so important to you in your heart, whenever I treat her a little bit badly, you just show face to me, to my son, and force me I have to carefully flatter this bitch!" Thinking of her hatred, she slapped Concubine Shu with her backhand, "Obviously I am your original wife, and obviously my Li family has helped you a lot, but all these years, I can't sleep Get a good night's sleep, I can't live a day easily. It's because of your favoritism for this bitch! I have to worry all the time, whether one day, under the coquettishness of this bitch, you will I handed over my position to her, and you want to take away my son's things and give them to her son... Do you know how painful these days are?!"

There was poison in the emperor's eyes, if looking at the empress could kill, the empress would probably die a hundred or a thousand times.

Seeing him like this, the queen calmed down instead: "But it's okay. Now, I don't have to worry anymore. My son will soon become the king of this country. I am the queen mother. From now on, I will never have to sleep or eat again." It's hard."

Facing the pained emperor and concubine Shu, the queen laughed and said, "Do you know that your most beloved son has already been taken over by others? Tell me, it's only a one-year-old banquet, why does everyone have to attend it?" Are you going to join in the fun? So many people, all the relatives and friends of the second child, have you all gone? Tell me, the emperor, if you are not so partial, everyone will understand that you actually want the second child to succeed, but The eldest brother has to sit in the position of the crown prince because of the hindrance of etiquette, but he connives at the second son forming a clique, tell me, why should I be so cruel?"

The emperor could no longer speak, but his face was still shocked, and Concubine Shu was also dumbfounded: "You, you must have done something to everyone, right? You lunatic, most of the officials in the court have gone there, If you kill them all, it will cause turmoil in the court!"

The queen kicked him hard: "It's just some courtiers. If they die, they will die! My son is the prince, but they are holding the stinky feet of the second son. Such a half-hearted courtier deserves his death!" "Soon, she tidied herself up again, and said with a leisurely smile: "As for the turmoil in the court... I don't need to bother you. By my son, there are good ministers who will fill the vacancy and rectify the thousands of miles of land. Handle it well!" Looking at them maliciously, "As for you, soon, you can go down and reunite with your son's family, on the ground, and then watch how my son becomes the king of the world!"

Concubine Shu Gui knelt on the ground, trembling all over: "My son, my son..."

The emperor didn't know where the strength came from. He was obviously poisoned, but he still screamed with all his strength: "Luan, minister, thief, son..."

The queen curled her lips in disdain: "Victory is a king and defeat is a bandit. When my son is firmly established, who will remember him? Besides, didn't I give the answer? It was the second child who conspired against him first." !"

Concubine Shu looked like she was going crazy: "You bastard, you even hurt my son, and even poured dirty water on my son's head, you are simply not human, you crazy, you bastard!"

After hearing this, the Queen suddenly twisted her face and shouted: "Of course I'm crazy, I was driven crazy by you!" She went up and grabbed her neck, "If it weren't for you Right, if you hadn't been seducing the emperor, if you hadn't been forcing me, would I be able to do this? Could I be doing this?!"

"Slut? Who is the bitch? I am the original partner, and you are the bitch who shamelessly crawled on the bed!"

"I'm crazy, and I was driven crazy by you!"

"Do you think I will make you feel better? Let me tell you, not only will I pour dirty water on your son's head, I will also drive him out of the ancestral temple, let him die in the wilderness, dismember him by horses, and not allow him to be buried. He lives life after life and will never be reborn!"

The Queen's long fingernails scratched Concubine Shu's delicate face, stabbed Concubine Shu's cheek hard, and blood flowed out, Concubine Shu couldn't stop crying, the Queen laughed like crazy: "I want to cut off your flesh piece by piece, I want to destroy your face, I want to hang you on the city wall, let the sun be exposed to the sun, dry all the moisture on your body, and dry your body in the sun. , Feed the queen to the dog! Hahaha, hahahaha!!"

Concubine Shu was struggling desperately, her neck was so stuck that she couldn't breathe, and her eyes began to turn white.

The emperor was in so much pain that he yelled hoarsely, "Let go, let go, let go, she..."

It was like adding fuel to the fire, the queen glanced at him and exclaimed: "At this time, you still miss this bitch, you still miss her, you still miss her!" Greeting, still not relieved, called the maid to beat him hard, "Today, I still insist on beating this bitch to death in front of you!"

The emperor's black face became more and more ugly, his breathing was weak, and he couldn't make a sound.Compared with the queen's triumphant appearance, there is a world of difference.

Everything is like a farce.

Tu Youhao didn't speak, just stood there quietly.Soon, the prince rushed into the house in military uniform with a bloody sword in his hand.

The queen looked at him, her eyes lit up.The maid also stopped beating Concubine Shu, but Concubine Shu didn't feel happy at all.She stared at the box in the hand of the person following the prince, she had already guessed something, her lips were trembling, and her whole body was limp.

The queen called out with a beaming smile, "Boss, boss?"

The prince pursed his lips and waved his hand triumphantly. The man presented the box and drove to the ground. As soon as he arrived, a head fell to the ground. It wasn't the second prince Tu Youzhan, who was it?

"My son~~~"

The shrill cry, at that moment, resounded through the sky.Concubine Shu rushed over, hugging Tu Youzhan's head, crying bitterly.

The queen touched her chest: "Great, great, this bastard is finally dead!"

The prince bowed to her: "Mother, you don't have to worry about it anymore."

The queen took the elder son's hand: "My son, you are doing well, you are doing well!"

As for the emperor next to him who looked like he was about to die, staring at them and glaring at them with his eyes, who cares at this moment?
