After lunch, Minglan patrolled the Hou Mansion in a soft sedan chair.
Spring was a time when everything was flourishing. The gorgeous brocade-like flowers in the courtyard were left alone overnight, and they were trampled into mud by the deadly running footsteps in the dark. Although the smoothly paved bluestone slabs have been washed with water many times, there are still a few spots that are still dark red, especially in Kouxiang Garden. People have died inside and outside the house. Several timid maids were crying and afraid to go in. Ming Lan was not too forceful, and planned to move sister Rong to another place. The original location was a bit biased, so she simply turned it over for other purposes.
The worst is still elsewhere.
The vermilion lacquer door nearly half a foot thick opened slowly, with the creaking sound of infiltrating gold and iron, slowly looking down the bluestone steps extending outward, the door was covered with mottled blood, clinging to human fur The boiling oil of the hair has cooled and condensed into a charred black lump, even though the dead body and limbs have been cleaned up, it is still terrifyingly smelly with thick purple.
There were a few thick-mouthed tree trunks on the ground. I don’t know where the culprits cut it from. The brass nails on the door were knocked down by more than half. They were scattered all over the place. He murmured to the side, “Fortunately, it was not gilded and it was melted and still usable.”
Minglan wanted to laugh, but couldn’t laugh.
Back to Jiaxi Residence, boringly next to the Kang mattress, staring at the gradually yellowish golden sky in a trance.
Before dinner, Mr. Tu came back from outside and knelt down to Minglan under the porch through the curtain. His face was extremely ugly. He looked like he had just been wearing a green hat. He was so panicked that he couldn’t tell, “…that Han San really isn’t clean! I’m not strict, please madam to punish me.”
He led a few guards to the Han’s house and searched for it, and found two newly-transferred land deeds and one hundred taels of gold-so angry that Tuhu wanted to chop people into meat sauce.
Ming Lan was slightly startled: “Master Tiger did it?” Although Han San joined him, his family members are all good friends.
“That’s not true!” Tu boss said in dismay, “Just look at people first. It shouldn’t be dismissed at the moment, and then settle the account later.”
Ming Lan nodded tiredly: “That’s good. It’s time to fight or kill, and wait until the Lord Hou comes back to make up your mind.”
People like her who advocate a peaceful and lazy way of life are really tired of being forced to deal with these kinds of things constantly. I reassure boss Tu a few more words, anyway, the undercover agent obviously failed, and there is no need to be overly upset.
On the third day, although the martial law had not yet been resolved, the atmosphere was obviously loosened, and many impatient families had secretly sent small servants to exchange news. The first letter was from the British government, asking again if everything is safe, and Dao Minglan is short of staff and supplies, whether it is the doctor guard or the medicine decoction, even if she asks for it-Mrs. Zhang also said with a smile, the British government was white the night before. I was on guard all night, and the things I had prepared earlier were useless.
Ming Lan was moved in her heart. It is no wonder that Mrs. Zhang has always been one of the top figures in the circle of noble family members in the capital over the past few decades. Watching her acts, she is indeed bold. It didn’t take long for the girl with a bold personality to write a letter too; a short note was irritable and angry.
The National Uncle’s Mansion was not peaceful the night before, but it was really a simple robbing of money—”The fools spent nearly 20 years of time, conceited that they had a false name, had a small amount of prestige, should not dare to stroke the tiger’s beard This generation, I didn’t expect that there would be the disaster of the eve”!
The Zhang family is so knowledgeable. I never thought that one day, there would be a thief who was so brave enough to dare to bully her door! It took a long time to realize that this family was originally named Shen, not Zhang. In other words, even if the reputation of Lao Tzu’s defeat is flying all over the sky, within three miles of the British government, there is still no pickpocket who dared to open a business.
In the middle of the letter, there is no inner ghost that cannot recruit foreign thieves. For the bottom line, it is the trouble caused by the Zou family’s sack of wealth outside.
“What did the Zou family do outside?” Minglan asked.
The young man who came to report the letter also spoke with a bad face: “…The black-hearted group of Zou family said that the uncle Guo was seriously injured outside. If there is something good or bad, the son will be attacked in a blink of an eye. At that time, I have no choice but to ask for advice! The husband will die, and the surname Zhang will survive? Well, after the interrogation, our wife is also angry…”
The wine shop talks nonsense, but it makes the deliberate local ruffians pay attention. After deliberately drinking and making friends, they reveal the reality of the Shen family’s inner house. At the moment, taking advantage of the chaos in the capital, the name of the Zou family is under the name of the Zou family in the dark. Deceived to open the back door of Shen’s Mansion, touched it in and hacked and looted.
Fortunately, Zhang was on guard, and after hearing the news, he hurriedly led the guards to kill the thieves. How ordinary gangsters can beat the brave men trained by the British government. Before a long time, they are already killed and captured. capture.
Zhang’s sigh of anger has accumulated-saying that those preparations were originally for more serious and large-scale political persecution, OK?
At the moment, he personally shot and wounded several thieves with a soft bow. Two of the brave thieves were captured and saw a house of women and children. They were arrogant and frightened with foul language. Zhang clan was extremely angry, without saying anything, brushing his swords to cut off the ears of the two thieves, and threw them on the ground to feed the black mastiff-at that time, the crowd was solemn and everyone in the Shen Palace dared to speak out.
The young man said with a proud face, and Minglan called out in her heart.
Since then, the Shen mansion saw the Zhang family and walked around; the Zhang family lived in a very stylish way for decades. The concubine did not dare to talk back, and the stepchildren did not dare to talk. If it is a blessing in disguise, I don’t know, but I don’t mention it here.
In addition, the Duan family, the Zhong family, and the female relatives of the Geng family have not yet returned home from the palace, and the reason for this is still unknown; the young men who went to the Bo family and the Fu family finally got a reply, all in He was attacked on the way and was trapped in a private household. He hurried back to report until the martial law was loosened. They all said that the two families were all intact—especially the Bo family, whose family members had gone to the countryside with the old lady.
The letter from Shengfu is the thickest. Chang Feng wrote and wrote more than a dozen pages. Minglan read it patiently and couldn’t help but complain about the “three brothers.” In fact, the process is very simple. Father Risheng went to get off work as usual. After eating a bowl of rice and half a roast chicken, he started to check Chang Feng’s homework. He just learned that if Qiu Wei fails this time… Before the words were released, there was chaos outside.
Being under martial law in Beijing, Father Sheng had to wait for two days to work, and he has not been able to resume work until now. This is mostly the case of civilian officials; it can only be said that compared with the previous rebellion, the hardest hit area has moved.
A simple letter from the family, there are no major events, and basically no minor things, but the whole text is gorgeous and rhyming. Just lamenting the instability of the current situation, I used three allusions at once, and even the chef can’t go to the street to buy fresh Caiguo must chant a self-compiled limerick of “Ling Xiao Sheng Chao Jun Sigh”.
Elder brother Tuan originally had his eyes open, and he refused to go to bed no matter how he was coaxing him. As a result, Minglan told his son the faith. After Fang read a page and a half, the little fat man drooped his head and fell asleep.
“Come on, don’t expect you to go to school. I’ll follow your Lao Tzu to practice chest breaking boulders in the future.” Minglan touched her son’s chubby arms and legs very resigned, and fell asleep with her belly.
The news of the Zheng family was long overdue, and it was not believed until the light was in the hands-but it was worse than the news of the thief in the uncle’s mansion.
The young man choked up and said: “…My old lady went the day before yesterday, and this morning, the old lady also… is gone.”
Within three days, both of them died of illness?
Ming Lan was shocked: “How do you say this. It’s good, it’s gone if you say it…?” She wanted to ask what happened, but Mrs. Zheng managed the family strictly, and the young man just shook his head. He refused to say a word.
“… Over the years, the old lady and the old lady have been ill… The old lady called Xiao Xiaoyou, saying that at the moment she and the second lady can’t get their hands free, and they can stay free, and then talk to Mrs. Guhou. Say it separately.”
Ming Lan saw that the young man was sweating profusely and panting for breath, but he still said the words properly, and the rules were not chaotic. He admired Mrs. Zheng’s ability and asked Lvzhi to grab the copper and reward him. People sent it out.
Mother Cui watched the figure disappear at the door, and said: “Madam, this is not right. A few days ago, we sent a winter’s fruit wine to Zheng’s house. Aren’t the old grandpa and the old lady okay? Old man. In other words, the thin pole is bent and bent, this, this…” After repeating’this’ several times, I can’t tell the rest.
Ming Lan understands what she means. The older the elderly who have been lingering for many years, the less urgent the death will be. From critical illness to death, it will take three or two days. The two elders had nothing to do a few days ago, so suddenly Passing away is really strange.
After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn’t think of a reason. Minglan only hated her lack of imagination. She hugged her pillow and was confused all night. As a result, someone came to her to solve her confusion the next morning.
Ms. Liu is wearing a half-old ocher-colored dark gold silk-patterned floral twill, with a finger-wide dark red fine velvet on her head, a large bead in the center, and powder on her face , With a small red flower inserted at the side, just like the version of Grandma Liu in the new society.
At that time, Ming Lan was having breakfast, and she greeted her smoothly. Who knows, Mrs. Liu opened her mouth and said yes, grabbing the chopsticks and eating.
She seemed to be overjoyed, boasting while she was eating: “My girl’s food at home is just fine. Tsk tsk, this glutinous rice soup is boiled so fragrantly…what’s in it, oh hey, the girl is born handsome. This oily fruit at home is so fried…”
Ming Lan despaired of this metaphor, twitching her mouth and laughing dryly: “Where, where, are the recipes handed down before.” Zhongming Ding Shijia, even the chef’s craftsmanship are passed on from generation to generation, which I don’t have a few special dishes at home, “If my sister likes it, I will send someone to copy a few copies in a hurry,”
“Don’t tell me.” Madam Liu waved her hand quickly and grinned. “To be honest, the young and old at home are not used to the food in the capital. Tate invited a cook from Shuzhong to come here. I was just like that. As soon as I said, sister, don’t worry about it…When you were young, the old man said, “Go to someone’s house, and you must be more boastful.” I talked to myself for a long time.
Minglan opened her mouth and closed it again.
Ms. Liu didn’t just nag, after eating, she wiped her mouth and cleans her hands. Before Ming Lan asked, she said very consciously: “His father came back in the middle of the night last night. …Oh, let’s not say this, I’m afraid of scaring the girl… His father told me a lot of things. He told me to understand today, so that the girl can be relieved, don’t worry about her body… Well, this… from where Speaking of it? I said sister, what do you want to ask first.”
Of course, Gu Tingwei is dead and the Hou Mansion is no longer safe. Madam, that old witch is dead, ah ah ah-it’s a pity! This is ancient times, she is the first-class imperial wife of the imperial court!
Minglan suffocated the words in her throat alive, laughed a few times, and said: “Naturally, is the queen and the queen now well? We are the courtiers, this is what we are most worried about.”
Mrs. Liu seemed to be very moved, “My sister is really loyal and patriotic.”
After being moved, to show that her political consciousness was not too much, she began to sing praises to the emperor.
“…that group of clowns, who are sneaky and secretive on weekdays, and how clever they are, they don’t know that being our emperor is an unconventional…that…the rare Mingjun, add stars to the world, for these long ago It’s obvious. But for the sake of the first emperor, I want to give some affection to the Queen Mother Shengde and the mother and son of Rui Wang, who knows…”
Minglan endured the tormented teeth and interrupted: “Really related to the Queen Mother Rui Wang Shengde?”
“Isn’t it? The girl thought, who had eaten the ambition of the leopard, dare to preach the imperial decree to deceive the minister’s family into the palace.” Madam Liu wiped her dry eyes, like the lead singer of the country’s mourning team, “Oh hello, we The emperor, what kind of emperor is that, the Queen Mother of Saint Virtue, one is not the emperor’s mother, two has not been promoted to the throne, for the first word of the emperor, our emperor is a province in the morning and evening, a thousand obedient, twenty-four filial piety, considerate. ……”
Ming Lan deeply believes that the last three idioms are inappropriate, but seeing people’s emotions erupting, it is not easy to remind them.
“…Holding people to confess, but still not satisfied, we have to seek the throne of the holy! And that concubine Rong, the true gang of wolf-hearted… Thanks to the loyalty of General Zheng, otherwise we Didn’t the emperor make a bad plot…”
Next, Mrs. Liu talked about most of the hour—half of which was chanting, Xiaotao changed two pots of tea, and Lvzhi added snacks three times, just to give a rough idea of the chaos.
Actually, Ying Lan judged that the group of Empress Dowager Shengde was actually unpredictable, but the emperor who was deeply loved, loyal, filial and respectful, and respected the people, might not be pure and innocent as a lamb.
In the past few years, as the power of the imperial faction grew (Zhang, Chen, Gu, Zheng, Duan, Liu, etc.), the emperor became more and more fierce, and spared no effort to weaken the line of the Queen Mother Shengde. Among the civil servants and ministers, either the diehard emperor sect headed by Yao Ge, or the silly-playing sect like Zou Ge, who has been appointed to official positions.
Among the veteran officials who were in front of the emperor’s couch, those who desperately advocated the emperor’s filial piety to the Queen Mother, were unknowingly emptied or ‘old defendant’ in the past few years.
As for the third and fourth ranks and below… After all, King Rui is young, it doesn’t matter how orthodox he is after all, there are few in the Qingzhuang Pavilion who are willing to wade into this muddy water.
Seeing that the throne of the emperor today is getting stronger and stronger, and the princes under her knees are getting bigger. The Queen Mother Shengde is as anxious as a cat scratching his heart. On the other hand, the emperor often sees the smart and smart King Rui. It was as uncomfortable as a thorn stuck in his throat.
The Queen Mother of Shengde wanted to do it, but she didn’t find a good opportunity, so she didn’t dare to do it. The emperor knew that they had bad intentions, but could not take the initiative to attack, for fear of attracting a notoriety for not serving his concubine and his nephew.
The two factions are so froze-like in a civilized society, both countries want to start a film, but neither of them wants to bear the bad reputation of initiating wars, so they continue to tease each other, praying to the Buddha, and hope that each other will quickly start the first gun.
By last year, the emperor consciously had an overwhelming advantage and began to lose it.
So, he set a round of one stone and one stone.
I still remember that a few years ago, Jinu took advantage of the new emperor’s succession to the throne, and looted southwardly. Although he was finally defeated, he still occupied several northwestern towns. The emperor smashed his horse for several years, and finally gathered his army for crusade, and recovered his tone-this is the first bird.
The army marched westward, the capital was empty, and the wonderful treason against the ‘good opportunity’, the unruly people were ready to move, just to lead the snake out of the hole—this is the second bird.
The Queen Mother Shengde was born in a prominent family in the Northwest. For decades, her family was intertwined in the locality, with in-laws everywhere, and often controlled the military and administration of the Northwest (this group was the one who actively conveyed the news of Zhang Gu’s defeat in the army). The emperor secretly instructed General Bo to conquer the enemy as the second place, and the main is to suppress the place; if the Queen Mother of Shengde can’t hold back it, it’s best, if the other party can bear it, then take the opportunity to go to this northwest disaster-this is the third Bird.
It is said that there are a few other birds, but Madam Liu can’t tell, Ming Lan can’t guess it.
“The emperor is also in danger, and the army is exhausted. If there is a case…this, how can this be…?” If you bet a big bet, you will win a lot, but if the Gambler Bodhisattva does not bless you, it is easy Even the **** are lost.
“Who is our emperor? That is the true dragon emperor descended from the earth…” Madam Liu once again enthusiastically sang the emperor’s wise martial arts, and then she revealed the truth-the emperor’s early secret order, General Zheng, echoed with Liu Zhengjie. , Can make the overall situation.
The military power in the capital is divided into three, one is Liu Zhengjie’s forbidden army, the second is the edict held by General Zheng and another general, and the third is the Five City Soldiers. To rebel, at least one of three rebels must be instigated.
Among the three men and horses, with the exception of General Zheng, the other commanders were all Cammen warriors who were personally promoted by the emperor. When the confidants of Rui Wang, who were also the children of the family, went to lobby, General Zheng gave a fake promise and prepared to wait. After the incident, he was caught in one fell swoop, and the good guys got the money.
It should be said that General Zheng’s mission was done very well—usually the old and respectful people pretended to be more convincing, and things proceeded smoothly here.
But I didn’t expect that not only did the emperor know how to place meticulous work into the enemy’s camp, but the other side also knew about it, and he also settled both.
On the morning of the chaos day, the emperor went down as usual and suddenly got a headed onion. He was fainted. The Queen Mother St. Ann and the Queen had no masters, only crying. There was a mess in the palace, and the Queen Mother Shengde took the opportunity to make trouble.
“Is Concubine Rong’s hand?” Minglan heard her eyes like copper bells, “How much do the emperor love her!” The empress’s relationship between husband and wife was pretty good. For her, the Queen was awkward. .
