Chapter 141：

At the dawn of the dawn, Shao Shang came home exhausted and exhausted. The five members of the Cheng family were shocked and couldn't speak for a long time, especially Cheng Xiao and his wife. They were well-informed, but Huo Buxuan's tragic and twisted life experience and Ling Yizhi's madness and viciousness were far beyond their imagination.

Shao Shang had no interest in asking his family's opinions at all, he just warned: "Soon His Majesty will announce this matter to the world, and then the court will also deal with the Ling family and Huo Budo. It's good to know with the three brothers, and don't make public too early. Especially the matter of Huo Busu's mobilization of troops at night, it can only be said that it is to send more people to besiege the Ling family, and it has nothing to do with the third prince. If someone outside insists When it comes to the Third Highness, the father, brother, and mother turn their faces on the spot."

Cheng Song was a little puzzled: "Is this what Your Majesty means?"

Shao Shang said: "If we are courtiers, if everything requires His Majesty to open his mouth to find out, it will not be long."

Cheng Shi simply praised: "Well said." He scolded the second son, "You will support your Uncle Wan's door in the future, you should learn to be more calm, think about everything I want to open my mouth again."

Cheng Song scratched his head: "Coiler is smarter than me!"

Shao Shang said lightly: "It can't be said to be smart. After staying in the palace for a long time, it is impossible to be calm."

Cheng Shi looked at his daughter's haggard and indifferent appearance, and his heart ached.

Cheng Yong quickly changed the topic: "No wonder Uncle Wan wants to take Ah Song to Xu Jun, and the second brother should also experience it. Hey, Shao Gong, why don't you speak?"

Cheng Shaogong, who has always been talkative, has been silent until now, and only at this time did he say: "Curly, I will accompany you back to rest."

Shao Shang smiled weakly: "Thank you third brother, I will go back by myself." Before she got up and left, she turned around and said: "I broke off with Huo Buzhuo, Wanwang father and brother Mu Yuan complimented my arrogance and willfulness."

As soon as Dad Cheng stayed, Cheng Song opened his mouth to ask questions, Mrs. Xiao pressed them all down and said first: "Okay, we know, you can go back and rest. You are three at noon today. Aunt and aunt are here, and then you can have a good talk."

Shao Shang smiled at himself.

Speaking of which, today was originally her wedding date—the third uncle Cheng Zhi could not leave without authorization, but the third aunt came to the wedding on purpose. What a look.

She stopped talking, bowed her head respectfully, and then retired.

The girl's movements are smooth and smooth, she is polite and indifferent when her eyes are level, respectful but not humble when her eyes are down, and when she turns to leave, the skirt swirls a layer of beautiful ripples, and the waist is bent just right , soft but not a hint of coquettishness - this is a harsh habit developed in the deep palace.

Everyone in the Cheng family suddenly realized that the beautiful girl with impeccable etiquette in front of her was no longer the aggressive and hilarious Cheng family.

The three brothers looked out for each other, and there was an inexplicable loss in their hearts. Cheng Shi was also disappointed for a long time. When he looked back at his wife, he found that Mrs. Xiao was trembling slightly.

.

This time she was as ill as the night before, as if she had lost the strength to breathe, no matter if the wound was cracked or the flesh was sore, she was like a newborn lamb, except for the weak and soft baa Twice, it can only be slaughtered by others.

In the mist, Shao Shang heard Father Cheng's cry, Mrs. Xiao's cry (she doubted if she heard it wrong), and Mrs. Sang's call - she missed the third aunt very much , Over the past year, she has saved up a lot of things to tell her, but now, she feels that she has nothing to say.

Even Mother Cheng, who was always disliked by her, came twice. The first time I didn't know what to say, the second time it seemed to say 'it's time to prepare for the funeral', which angered Dad Cheng. Furious, the mother and son quarreled with birds and beasts and were driven out by Mrs. Xiao.

She had a high fever for several days, and the Cheng family was in a hurry. Although this is the cold early spring, once the sweat caused by the fever infects the wound, it will easily turn into inflammation, and it will fester or die. Both Cheng Shi and Mrs. Xiao had been rolling around in the military camp for decades. Knowing how powerful it was, they became more worried.

After staying up for a few rounds day and night, Shaoshang finally gave up some heat. Cheng Shi saw that everyone was tired and haggard, so he was not allowed to gather around here, what should I do? go.

In addition to Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Sang, Cheng Shaogong was the one who stayed in the young business house the longest—he had a very good reason, he didn’t need to be appointed an official soon like his eldest brother Cheng Yong Now, unlike the second brother Cheng Song, there are several baskets of people from the Wan clan to meet.

Looking at her frail younger sister on the sickbed, Cheng Shaogong felt guilty for the first time in his life, thinking about it ten years ago, he might as well have been left behind, and he was not afraid to meet A bad man, and my sister may be like Wan Eqi, who can find a good husband among my father's colleagues and children.

Mrs. Xiao had a rare acquiescence in regard to the three sons and young palaces quietly sue the school, and the whole Cheng family knew the reason - Yuan Shen came.

Shaoshang came home before dawn. Yuan Shen came to the door that afternoon. At first, he said some nonsense about 'seeing Mrs. Sang', and he found out that Shaoshang was ill. After that, he didn't even look for an excuse, and went to Cheng's house four times a day, one more meal than the meal.

Sometimes he brought the doctor who was in the Yuan family, sometimes he brought large and small bags of medicinal materials, and sometimes he just came out of the scripture hall. Seeing this, he can sit in Jiuyutang for two hours, and then catch up with the curfew, so he can only stay at Cheng's house overnight.

In this regard, Cheng Shaogong said, 'This fellow finally knows that putting on airs is useless.

Everyone in the Cheng family's dissuasion was ineffective, and they couldn't keep people out, so they had to let Cheng Shaogong stay by the side - what can you do to people who don't even want to be shameless. Fortunately, the attention both inside and outside the court were on the Huo Ling family, and few people noticed Yuan Shen's coquettish position.

On the day Shao Shang woke up, the imperial edict was finally issued, and the Ling family received unprecedented severe punishment.

First, the Ling brothers' treasonous acts of collaborating with the enemy were carved into stone pillars, and then the three corpses were whipped and hung to the bones to warn the world. In addition, all children of the Ling family over the age of five are given death - including the married daughter (in case the daughter of the Ling family loves and loves her father and brother secretly teach the children and grandchildren how to take revenge), the Ling family's wife and children under the age of five are all exiled to Mobei, the Ling family The ancestral tombs were excavated and the clan changed their surnames. Not only that, but all close in-laws and friends with the Ling family should be reprimanded.

This ruthless and extremely implicated move, a discerning person can see at a glance that it is to avoid future troubles.

Chunyu's mother and son are mortal. They were poured poisonous wine in front of Yuchang County Lord, and Yuchang County Lord fainted on the spot.

And the good day of the old prince Ruyang finally came, the emperor did not call the old uncle to divorce, he felt that the divorce and house arrest were more suitable for the former aunt. Prince Ruyang wanted to defend his mother, but the emperor kindly said, 'I know my cousin, you are very filial. what'.

Informed of the inside story, the prince concubine pulled a bunch of children to die for her husband without saying a word, and the prince shut up.

When I thought that Ling Yi's crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason was in the statue of Nuwa, who had been brought by the old concubine day and night for 16 years, the whole Ruyang palace was frightened into a cold sweat. Although they themselves knew that the old princess did not have that city mansion, and knew that Ling Yi's actions could still be as if nothing had happened, but they didn't dare to think about how outsiders would guess.

Therefore, when the emperor found a son-in-law for Yuchang County Lord and ordered the marriage to be completed within three months, there was no objection in the Ruyang Palace.

There are only two exceptions to this thunderstorm.

One is the daughter of Ling's second ex-wife. She was ten years old when she broke the city. I vaguely know that the father's family and the mother's death are somewhat unclear. Has always been hostile to his biological father. Later, the second son of Ling succeeded the widowed sister of the real general. He had children and had a good life. He was even more unhappy with this eldest daughter. Within a few years, he married her to an old and violent high-level widower.

Fortunately, the Ling family was lucky, and she became a widow soon after she married. An old aunt of her husband's family pitied her for losing her mother at a young age, and her biological father and stepmother were mean and ruthless, so they arranged for her to remarry A family of middle-class officials and eunuchs, after that, the husband and wife were in harmony, and the children were in groups.

After Ling Yi's crimes were exposed, Ling's family had to commit suicide.

There is also a concubine of Ling Lao San, who was born to Ling Lao San after drinking and his maid. Her biological mother was sold by Mrs. Ling San early, and she was crippled when she was young. Ling Laosan had many concubines. Seeing that it was difficult for this daughter to get a good marriage, he arbitrarily married her to a poor family.

The family had no money and no power, so they could only kneel at the entrance of the Tingwei Mansion, and begged Ji Zun to intercede on his behalf, saying that the Ling family's bride had never contacted the Ling family since she returned to the house, and she has always been filial Respectful, friendly siblings, is a virtuous woman praised by everyone in the countryside.

Old man Ji is a cold-hearted person, so he played the emperor one by one.

After the Ling family was resolved, it was Huo Busu's turn.

Vibration is an ironclad sin.

Facing dozens of bright eyes in the courtroom, the emperor was also very happy, and said that I would definitely not show favoritism - although it is not a sin for my son to make his father a soldier from the previous court, although my adopted son It was only for the sake of revenge that I had more certainty that I transferred a few more big-headed soldiers. Although I didn't take it to heart at all, although... But I will still act according to the law!

The ministers were speechless.

Finally, Huo Budo was deprived of all his official positions, relegated to the northwest border city, and guarded against the Hu tribe's intruders - and resigning from relatives with Cheng Shi's daughter was also one of the punishment items.

Less than half an hour after the emperor's punishment was handed down, Cui You's memorial was presented at a higher level; Volunteered and asked to lead the army to guard the border town.

The emperor was so angry that he scolded in the hall alone: ​​"Well, you Cui Ayuan, since Junhua passed away, you have been crying and wanting to die. When you do something, you push and drag, and you cry when you are in a hurry, and you want to go to work, like a dead man's mother-in-law! At this moment, you have to be loyal to the country and beg your life for the people!"

The scolding is scolding, but the emperor also knows that it is more appropriate to hand over the adopted son to Cui Hou, so he can only roll his eyes and sign the seal on the appointment letter.

baggage.

In fact, the emperor opened his own private treasury for him to move.

When the day came out of the city, Cui Hou led a mighty group of carriages with colorful flags flying on their heads and horses neighing on their crotch. Those who didn't know they thought they were going on a picnic.

Huo Buxuan lay in the carriage with clothes on, his body was covered with thick fur, his eyes kept looking out the window - when he reached Shili Pavilion outside the city, he ordered to stop and rest. After a long while, Liang Qiufei slapped his horse over and said loudly, "Young lord, Cui Hou asked if it's time for us to set off!"

Huo Budoubt said, "Wait a second."

Liang Qiuqi looked at his pale face and couldn't bear to say: "Young master, don't look, she won't come."

Huo Budo lowered his long eyelashes: "It's hard to go to the border town, it's better if she doesn't go..."

At this moment, Cui Da Cui Er dragged a teenager over in front, Liang Qiufei's eyes lit up: "Hey, this is not the third son of the Cheng family! It must be the little lady who has something to ask him to tell. !"

Huo Budo's deep eyes instantly lit up with hope.

Cheng Shaogong shook off Cui Da Cui Er's arm with force: "You two children, you took away my horse no matter how you met, how rude!"

Cui Da and Cui Er’s hippie smile made an apology.

Huo Busu said in a trembling voice: "Shao Gong, she, does she have something to say..."

Cheng Shaogong kept silent, took out a small bag from his arms and threw it to Liang Qiuqi.

Liang Qiuqi felt that the bag seemed to be a boxy little hard object, and then handed it into the car with both hands.

Huo Budo grabbed the kit and shook it open. It turned out that it was the private seal he had given to the young businessman, and his face turned pale for a while.

Liang Qiufei said angrily to Cheng Shaogong: "Young master's sister is too ruthless, my young master is like this now..."

"On that day, when he came out of the palace, Shaoshang had a high fever for more than three days, and then it was good and bad for another six or seven days, and he still can't go to the ground today. The family is preparing for the funeral, but fortunately, I finally got through it."

Cheng Shaogong looked at Huo Budo and said word by word, "Father and mother were secretly discussing, worried that my sister would suffer from such a serious illness, and I don't know if her lifespan will be impaired in the future. I heard that you were seriously injured and lost half of your life, and now Shao Shang also lost half of his life, she is worthy of you."

Huo Budo squeezed the private seal tightly until his knuckles turned white, and the sharp four corners of the private seal poked into the pulp of his finger without knowing pain.

Brother Liang Qiu and Brother Cui looked at each other.

Cheng Shaogong continued: "Your honor is loyal and brave, and it is rare in the world. The Cheng family is very emotional. But it is one thing. ."

Huo Budo took a slow breath and tried to calm down: "I know what you mean, doesn't she say anything?"

Cheng Shaogong was silent for a moment: "Yes. She said - it will be indefinite in the future."

Huo Budo immediately held down the wall of the car with one hand to prevent himself from falling down.

It hurts more than cutting off his own limbs, but he still left her behind.

He said at the time that it would be indefinite.

She is such a person.

Huo Budo leaned back on the hidden sac and closed his eyes: "I understand, Mr. Cheng San Gong, please go back. Ah Fei, please leave Uncle Cui."
