Chapter 606 The Prisoner's Family
After the emperor and his wife got married, they paid homage to the ancestral temple, changed the reign name to Yong'an, and granted amnesty to the whole country. Officials in various places posted official notices to inform the people.
Even Shahuan Mansion in the northwest, the most remote place, announced the announcement a few days later, and the whole city was decorated with colors and red to celebrate.
Many people cried with joy in front of the announcement.
Because a place like Shahuan Mansion is not suitable for human survival at all, more than half of the residents of Shahuan Mansion were exiled due to various crimes.
They lived in extreme suffering every day in this barren land.
Now that the new king has ascended the throne, married the queen, and granted amnesty to the world, many exiled sinners were able to leave this remote country and return to their hometowns, which immediately aroused everyone's ecstasy.
Only one old woman had a different reaction from the others. She stared at the announcement with disbelief on her face. She was not happy at all. Instead, she was shocked and angry as if she saw a creditor.
"No, this is impossible, this is impossible!" She pushed aside the crowd and pushed forward, "How is this possible!"
She raised her head and read the notice word by word, as if she could find some important secret inside.
But obviously, she didn't find the results she wanted.
"How could it be? How could she become the queen?" The old woman's voice became sharp uncontrollably, "How could Gu Zhao become the queen!"
"The Gu family of Qingyi Yunhe of Controlling He Division" is Gu Zhao! In this world, the only woman in the world who disregards her dignity and mixes with men in public to become an official is Gu Zhao!
What qualifications does such a disobedient, shameless, disobedient and unfilial woman have to be a mother to the world?
How unfair God is!
Her face full of wrinkles and yellow spots showed a crazy expression, which frightened the people around her and backed away, fearing that there was something wrong with her and a sudden attack.
The officer who was standing under the official document and was responsible for guarding had already heard her crazy shouting, and his face suddenly darkened, "How brave! You are such a cunning woman, how dare you disrespect the queen, but you want to get slapped?"
As he said that, the young yamen officer took a step forward and wanted to catch her, but was calmly poked in the waist by the old yamen servant next to him.
Seeing the senior shaking his head slightly, the young government officer snorted and did not take action. He just made a driving gesture, "Get out! Get out!"
The old woman reluctantly looked at the announcement again and staggered away.
Watching her walk away, the young yamen officer asked the senior next to him in a low voice, "Uncle Six, she openly called the queen by her name and was verbally offensive. Why didn't you let me arrest her?"
The old yamen servant slowly rolled a ball of tobacco and pressed it into the pot of the pipe. The young yamen servant quickly helped him light it with a fire stick.
After taking a deep breath and blowing out two streams of white smoke from his nose, the old Yamen servant whispered, "You don't know her?"
"Aren't they the family members of the exiled prisoners?" The young government officer thought for a moment, and his face tightened, "I heard that someone from the General's Office above said not to attack this family?"
Without waiting for the old government officer to explain, he continued, "With this kind of care, it is obvious that there is no big backer in the General's Mansion. Otherwise, wouldn't he just stay in Dingyuan City? Or would he be sent to Shahuan Mansion?"
"And I only said not to do anything to them, but I didn't say to take special care of them. Just looking at the old woman's face, you can tell that they don't live a very luxurious life."
The old yamen officer glanced at him, shook his head, and clicked his tongue twice, but said nothing.
The young yamen officer quickly apologized and said, "Uncle Six, you are well-informed, so just point it out to your nephew. If your nephew accidentally makes a mistake, it doesn't matter if others laugh at him. It would be a big deal if he loses your face, Uncle Six."
Already."
The old yamen officer smiled and said, "You bastard, your sixth uncle is not a big shot. Why should you be afraid of being embarrassed?"
Having said that, he began to explain in a low voice, "You know the current Empress, but do you know who the Empress's biological mother is?"
The young government official shook his head blankly.
The reason why he knew the queen's name was because the old government official had contacts with the local Konghe Bureau, heard the queen's legendary story, and relayed it to him.
How could he know who the queen's biological mother was.
"It must be the first-grade imperial concubine, Madam Hou, right?" the young government official guessed.
The old yamen officer took another puff of cigarette. "Your guess is not wrong." He paused and said, "The empress's biological mother is the wife of Duke Li, one of the eight founding fathers of the country."
The young government official showed an expression that said, "Sure enough, it's true."
The old government officer bared his teeth and smiled, "Then do you know who that crazy old woman just now is?"
The young yamen servant shook his head. He had just come to the yamen to work not long ago, but he had met the old woman on the street several times on weekdays. He only saw her walking around the streets, washing people's clothes and sewing quilts, doing menial work, and earning a few copper coins to spend.
, very hard.
I heard that she was once a noble person, but she committed a serious crime and was exiled here, living in a miserable life.
But he didn't ask in detail who the noble person was.
The old yamen servant raised his long pipe, knocked it on the sole of his shoe, and said with a smile, "She is the former Mrs. Li Guogong."
The young yamen servant was stunned for a moment, then turned around and was shocked, "Uncle Six, you mean, you mean, this, she, she is the Queen's biological mother?"
"Isn't this impossible?" The young government officer himself showed an expression of disbelief, "Isn't this too different?"
One is a queen and the other is a family member of a criminal; one is still young and the other is in his twilight years; no matter how you look at it, they don’t match.
Besides, the old woman didn't look like she was reacting to finding out that her daughter had become a queen.
The old yamen servant shook his head in a secretive manner, "In any case, it's fine as long as you know, don't tell others."
No matter what, she is the biological mother of the Queen. Who knows that one day the Queen will remember her and she will change her mind. Why should little people like them take risks to offend others?
Zhang Wan, however, did not feel that there was any possibility of her turning over. Her heart was filled with unwillingness and anger.
This made her not in the mood to go to those streets to collect people's dirty clothes for washing as usual, but she staggered back to her current home alone.
