Zhan Zhao, don't worry! [Comprehensive]

When they left the capital, they had to report every move to Emperor Renzong before they could go.They roamed the land of the Great Song Dynasty because of his decree.

They heard that he had a son, they also heard that he was crowned prince, and they heard that he... was assassinated and died.

So after returning to the capital this time, their moods were a little complicated.

The sense of right and wrong becomes even stronger.

Master Bao had already changed into his official uniform when he was on the road this morning, and after entering the city gate, he took Mo Chou and Zhan Zhao Yandong directly to the palace.

Others, either return to Kaifeng Mansion, or return to the humble house opposite Kaifeng Mansion, and have their own arrangements from Gongsun Ce and Lvyi.

Luo Bei is going back to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to report that Qi Ying's injuries also need to be taken care of by others. Although Mo Chou did not order, Lv Yi can decide to invite Qi Ying to stay in the humble house.

The conditions of the humble house are good, and there are many female relatives. Gongsun Ce strongly agrees after hearing the words.

"Even if Miss Qi stays in Kaifeng Mansion, we still have to go to the humble house to ask someone to help take care of Miss Qi. Miss Qi has been taken care of by Fengyu all the way, and she is also familiar with Mrs. Zhan and Miss Long. It is not polite to live in the humble house."

Qi Ying looked at Luo Bei without thinking, and Luo Bei glanced at Gongsun Ce, then at Xiaolongnv and Lvyi Fengyu, nodded and saluted Xiaolongnv, and then said trouble to Lvyi and Lvyi Fengyu .For the sake of Qi Ying's safety and life, Luo Bei did not expect to bring Qi Ying back to the Ministry of Punishment now.This arrangement is in the middle of Luo Bei's arms.

"Qi Ying will be taken care of by a few girls. Luo Bei will go back to the Ministry of Punishment to report what happened here, and then immediately go to the humble house."

Qi Ying's case was originally a case received by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, but the situation in the capital is really complicated now, so Zheng Ning, who was transferred, was dismissed from all duties and went to Beijing to wait for the interrogation. News of death.

Immediately, my heart skipped a beat.

My family knew about my family affairs, and his sister was married before entering the palace. If his father hadn't forced her to die, and his sister was a fool and filial, it would be impossible for her to enter the palace as a concubine after she became pregnant.

But his elder sister still knew the minimum of shame, even though she entered the palace, she did not do anything to compete for favor.Although his father often scolded his sister for not being up to date, he still got benefits from her after all.

When the old emperor died and the little emperor ascended the throne, the little emperor was grateful for her sister's care for her, so he also took extra care of his sister, which also made their Zheng family more beautiful.

Although Zheng Ning was sued to the Ministry of Criminal Justice this time, he was not panicked or trembling.Because he is the only seedling of the Zheng family, the only bloodline, he believes that his sister will not let him have any accidents.

Moreover, except for one Qi Ying who escaped from that incident, all other people who knew about it could no longer speak.

Zheng Ning thought so, but he didn't expect that what he was waiting for was the news of the emperor's death.

His elder sister was just a concubine who was not favored by the former emperor, and she never gave birth to an heir for the royal family in her whole life.Being able to live such a decent life is not due to the love with the little emperor back then.

Now that the emperor is dead, and the emperor has a lot of concubines, who would take his sister seriously.

The palace was originally on the same boundary as red on top and white on the top, standing on the high and stepping on the low, now that his sister is in danger of protecting herself, how can she protect him.

While Zheng Ning was crying for his father and mother, he also offered a big price to assassinate Qi Ying.

It's a pity that Zijingzhou, who was able to complete the deal the most, turned him down.Instead, I picked the Liu family's small shop, but kept missing.

When he heard that Qi Ying and Luo Bei met a group of people from Kaifeng Mansion returning to the capital on the road, Zheng Ning's eyes turned black.

He knew that he was going to finish.

Afterwards, he sent someone to monitor Qi Ying at the gate of the city to see if she would follow Luo Bei back to the Ministry of Punishment when she arrived in the capital, or follow the people from Kaifeng Mansion to Kaifeng Mansion, but when he heard that Qi Ying went to Kaifeng Mansion together In the end, when he entered the humble house opposite the Kaifeng Mansion, he dropped his favorite piece of jade.

Who knows that humble house is Zhan Zhao's house in Kaifeng Mansion, and even the gatekeeper in it is from Jianghu, if someone lives there, the last hope of silence is really gone.

Just as Zheng Ning thought, once Qi Ying arrived at the humble house, she was taken care of properly, let alone trying to kill her, it is estimated that even Zhan Zhao's curse of restraining women would not affect her.

The bosses of the criminal department listened to Luo Bei's story along the way, and stroked their foreheads while thinking about the possibility of pushing this case forward.

Do more and make more mistakes, do less and make fewer mistakes. When the crown prince is young and the road to promotion is not going to be smooth, why not sell a favor to the Kaifeng government.

You must know that Lord Bao of Kaifeng Mansion is a person named by Emperor Daxing's will.

......

On the other side, Mo Chou followed Master Bao and Zhan Zhao Yan Dong into the palace. The four of them first went to the front court to meet the Eighth Prince and Cheng Wang, and after saying a few words of encouragement, Mo Chou was sent to the harem to meet the future Zhang. Queen Mother.

Mo Chou was not very familiar with the road to the palace, but with eunuchs and maids leading the way, Mo Chou was not at all worried that she would go astray.

When passing through the imperial garden, Mo Chou spotted a young woman of eighteen or nineteen years old standing by the river, dressed in white and with loose hair.Although the appearance is only seven points, but the style of that body overwhelms many people, "Who is that?"

The maid who led the way looked at Mo Chou's raised arm, "If you go back to Madam, that's Wang Cairen."

Mo Chou nodded, not impressed. "Is this kingly talent favored?"

The court lady shook her head, "It's average, but that man looks quite real." At least in this court lady's heart, this is the only woman in the palace who truly loves Emperor Renzong.

"Then why did she act?" If this is the case, shouldn't she have died in love long ago?

"On the second day after the accident, it was found out that she was pregnant. We advised her to take good care of herself for the sake of the child. The ladies also said that this is the emperor's flesh and blood after all, and they must be preserved no matter what. But they did not expect that the king In the end, the human fetus was not kept, and it was aborted yesterday. No, it is standing here today."

It turned out to be the case.

"Have there been many things like this recently?"

The maids did the math, it wasn't too much. "On average, one every three or four days." There are so many people in the palace, and with this frequency, it is estimated that there will be quite a few left by the end of the year.

While on the road a while ago, I often received news that there were always concubines in the palace who committed suicide. At that time, Mo Chou only replied, 'That's their freedom'.

Now seeing someone throwing himself into the lake in front of her eyes, Mochou felt a little bit of compassion, "The water in this pool is useless, the lotus is good, don't let her spoil it. Go tell her, the emperor died a violent death." , must have committed too many crimes in the previous life and this life, if she has the heart, she can go to the Royal Temple to pray and chant scriptures for the Royal Court."

"Yes."

The palace lady got the words, she turned her head and gave up the position of leading the way to the person behind, holding her skirt and running over there.

While running and gesturing, the eunuch guarding the lake who saw Wang Cairen was about to jump over there stopped watching the excitement and immediately took action.

Hugging the waist, hugging the legs, pulling Wang Cairen away from the danger zone.

Mo Chou glanced at it and walked over without saying anything.

Seeing Wang Cairen today, Mo Chou realized that there are too many women in this palace.

Instead of staying in the palace to waste food or commit suicide every day, it is better to let them all go out of the palace.

When Sang Qing came to the mansion before, didn't he keep saying that many generals would not be able to marry a wife?

It seems good to release all these concubines under the age of 40 to the frontier for a group blind date.

In modern times, it is said to get rich, to have fewer children and build more roads.But in the Great Song Dynasty, the population seemed to be quite large, but judging from the size of the country, it was still relatively small.

The more children you have, the more soldiers and labor there will be in wartime.As for the question of whether to raise or not, vigorously develop agriculture, commerce, and open two trade markets, which will surely increase a lot of employment opportunities.

Anyway, as long as she gets the women out of the harem, there will always be people to worry about those things if there are more children.Otherwise, don't take the salary of the court.

While thinking about it bit by bit, Mo Chou came to Zhang's palace.

Even if Mrs. Zhang is about to become the Empress Dowager, she would not dare to show off in front of Mo Chou, because she was afraid that people would see it, so Mrs. Zhang only stood in the main hall to meet Mo Chou.

When Mo Chou walked in, she happened to see Mrs. Zhang hugging the crown prince and following the Zijingzhou disciples half-kneeling at the door to salute.Mo Chou paused and let the two girls hang out for a while before taking over the crown prince from Mrs. Zhang.

"Get up." Mo Chou said to everyone while holding the prince in her arms and walking towards the main hall.

"Yes." After hearing the words, Mrs. Zhang and the others respectfully followed behind Mo Chou.

Mo Chou looked at the main hall, then at the Zijingzhou disciples in the main hall, and then led everyone to the Nuan Pavilion to talk.

Mochou sat on the west side of the couch in the warm pavilion, and placed the infant prince on the east side of the couch. While looking at the little one, she asked, "What's the situation in the capital now, and what's the big deal in these two days?"

When she was in the front just now, she noticed that the faces of several ministers were very bad.Sangbo and Di Qing who came back were even more angry.

Mrs. Zhang pays attention to the things ahead every day. Just before Mo Chou entered the palace, she specially asked someone to go out to inquire about the news.

"Reply, Ma'am, the emperor is big, the prince is young, Xixia, Liao and Jin are eyeing the Song Dynasty, and they sent the letter of credence yesterday, asking the Song Dynasty to divide the nine states and eighteen counties of Jingxiang to the three countries, otherwise the army will be defeated." See you."

When Mo Chou heard the words, she was furious in her heart, her sharp eyes seemed to penetrate everything, suppressed the anger in her heart, and continued to ask, "What's the attitude of all the ministers in the court?"

"...Prime Minister Wang advocates peace and wants to bargain with the three countries. General Sang and Marshal Di are leading the battle. The Eighth Prince did not say anything."

"Where's Ji Gang? What's his attitude?"

Mrs. Zhang paused, and then said in a low voice, "Master Ji's whole family was murdered yesterday night, and only the eldest daughter escaped with her two younger brothers. The subordinate hired a single guard, and now the three siblings have arranged In the... poor house."

Mo Chou: "...Understood." Even today, has this upright Master Ji not escaped the fate of being killed?
