Chapter 783 Collection of corpses
At the beginning of July, the emperor's civil mourning had just passed, and the news about the criminals involved in the catastrophe quickly reached Langzhou.
Regarding the death of the emperor, Chu Nanzhi felt more regret than surprise.
Now that the court situation is not stable, he just left, which undoubtedly added a lot of pressure to Lin Jinxiao.
I'm afraid the situation in the north will become more and more turbulent.
But things have come to this, and we can only go all out to deal with the next situation.
But what made her feel even more heartbroken was the death of the concubine.
Little boy went north so non-stop to reunite with his biological mother. As a daughter-in-law, I also thought about taking care of this poor mother-in-law after entering Beijing in the future, and doing some filial piety for him.
I never thought that heaven would fail to fulfill people's wishes.
Early this morning, Chu Nanzhi sat in the pergola built in the backyard of the governor's mansion, carefully reading the letter from Lin Jinxiao.
The content of the letter, apart from telling some things about Beijing and China, is full of deep thoughts between the lines.
He was looking forward to seeing the birth of the child as soon as possible, and he naturally thought that he would be able to watch the birth of the child by his side.
It’s just the current situation, maybe one day the little guy in the stomach will be born, and it’s specified that he can’t enter Beijing.
And she can't selfishly let the little boy leave Jingling City at this juncture. If the situation becomes chaotic again, the loss outweighs the gain.
When she saw the end of the letter, and the little boy asked about the schedule of the enthronement ceremony, Chu Nanzhi's melancholy heart couldn't help but get excited.
In the past, she only saw the scene of the emperor and empress ascending the throne in the play, but now it will happen to her, she feels like she is dreaming.
"Mother Yi Tianxia."
Chu Nanzhi held the letter, thinking that she would be a queen soon, she felt a little uncomfortable no matter how she thought about it.
What kind of posture should my old lady take in the future to face her old friends and courtiers whom she has never met?
"My Gong, ahem"
After clearing her throat, Chu Nanzhi imitated the queen's tone and said to herself: "I'm tired, children, you all step back, I'm going to leave your father to have **** in the palace tonight, you guys You can review the memorials that the father has not reviewed."
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt that it was too indecent.
Just after denying himself and adjusting his mood, he heard bursts of playfulness coming from the courtyard.
She raised her eyes and saw that it was Lin Jinhui and the sisters from the Chu family who led the little treasures in hastily.
Seeing Chu Nanzhi, Lin Jinhui was the first to greet her and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, Langzhou City is really lively today. King Qinghe was executed by Ling Chi in Beijing. The Tang family is full of people except Tang Yi from Yizhou. They were all exiled to the bitter cold of Yanbei, it was really heart-warming, the common people on the street were all rushing to tell each other, Chunyue Tower and scholars and literati held a banquet to celebrate the downfall of the Tang clan."
"It's just cheaper, Princess Qian."
Chu Nanxiang curled his lips angrily: "Elder sister, brother-in-law is too kind, how can he let their mother and son go? Also, Princess Yan Jing was only imprisoned in Youting Palace."
Facing the girl's complaint, Chu Nanzhi just smiled lightly.
Others don't know Youting Palace, but she knows it very well.
Going here is undoubtedly sentenced to life imprisonment.
As for Lin Jinqian, Chu Nanzhi naturally couldn't keep his word.
After all, it was her letter that made the Queen Mother make a wise decision at the last moment, which prevented Yizhou from dying, and made Lin Jinke give up struggling.
It stands to reason that most of the princes' rebellions were first demoted to the common people and then gradually tortured to death, but King Qinghe was directly sentenced to Lingchi, I am afraid it was the decision of the ancestors.
"What else have you heard?"
Chu Nanzhi asked with interest.
Now the body is getting heavier and it is difficult to walk, so I can only listen to them talking about the excitement outside.
Lin Jinhui counted with his fingers: "I heard that Tang Ru and Kang Xiu were sentenced to be killed in the city, together with more than a dozen traitors under the name of King Qinghe, they surrendered in Beijing, and that Queen Qinghe was also given The three-foot white silk hanged herself in the palace."
"Speaking of it, my brother-in-law is kind. This King Qinghe has disturbed the entire court, and my brother-in-law only killed dozens of first offenders. When the old King Qinghe came to Beijing, he killed nearly a thousand clan children and family members. "
Chu Nanzhu grumbled.
"That's why he was assassinated on the way to sacrifice to heaven."
Chu Nanzhi secretly added a sentence.
She is satisfied from the bottom of her heart with the result of the disposition of the little boy.
If there is a massacre, I am afraid that there will be not 10,000 or even thousands of people who lost their heads this time.
As a person who has been influenced by modern criminal law, she deeply hates the implicated crimes of this era.
Caressing her swollen belly, she lowered her head and sighed secretly:
Less murders can be regarded as accumulating some merit for the child who is about to be born.
The courtyard was very lively, but Tang Weiming walked in with a bitter face.
Chu Nanzhi looked at him with his brows tightly furrowed, and couldn't help asking: "Everyone is happy today, why is Manager Tang depressed, but why did he suffer?"
"The empress should stop making fun of your servants. Now that His Highness has entered the capital, the old ancestor's wish has been fulfilled. The servants are really happy from the bottom of their hearts."
Tang Weiming turned his head and looked in the direction outside the courtyard, and sighed angrily: "It's that princess Qian who is crying and shouting to meet the queen, who can't be driven away like a dead skin plaster, and is now taking her under her knees. The child is kneeling outside the governor's mansion, and the servant has no choice but to come in and ask the queen for instructions."
Chu Nanzhi was not used to hearing him yelling like a queen.
But thinking about what he had reported, he still responded: "After all, she is the princess, how can she make her kneel outside the governor's mansion and make people laugh at her, please come in quickly."
Although Lin Jinhui didn't want to see this princess in her heart, she killed Mrs. Tan after all, venting the resentment accumulated in her and her mother's heart for many years.
Looking at the unwilling Tang Weiming, he also persuaded: "Then Her Royal Highness is helping my elder brother Jinxiao to succeed in the north, so please don't make things difficult for Mr. Tang, so as not to spread the word that my sister-in-law is not tolerant. "
Chu Nanxiang was a little worried: "Princess Qian must be arrogant and unreasonable. Eldest sister, you are pregnant now, so it's better not to see her, so as not to cause bad luck and make your fetus angry."
"How can I be so delicate."
Chu Nanzhi saw that the two younger sisters hated the princess deeply, so she had no choice but to get up to meet her.
Everyone had no choice but to follow her out together.
Arriving in front of the gate of the mansion, I saw Lin Jinqian leading a pair of children kneeling under the stone steps. The unkempt and disheveled ones were in a state of embarrassment, and there was no half of the arrogance and dignity of the past.
When she got closer, she found that her son and daughter were covered with bruises. The mother and son looked pitiful with their noses and faces swollen.
"what happened?"
Chu Nanzhi glared at Tang Weiming angrily.
"The servant does not know."
Tang Weiming pretended to be aggrieved and shook his head.
Lin Jinqian didn't care about crying out for injustice at this time, and choked up his courage to kowtow to her: "Lin Jinqian, the daughter of the criminal minister, has seen the queen, and please ask the queen to allow us, mother and son, to return to Beijing to collect the remains of the deceased husband and the sins of the Tang family."
The young pair of sons and daughters also cried heart-piercingly and begged: "I beg your mother to forgive me."
