Without inspecting the farm anymore, Ye Zhenzhen returned to the capital with Cui Weizhen that day, and what happened next was beyond her control.
Ten days later, what she expected happened as promised.
The imperial censor impeached Su Ying, the brother of Concubine Su, for being lawless and deceiving the emperor. He not only occupied the residence of Prince Jingning, but also misappropriated the tax revenue of Jingning County over the years to satisfy his selfish desires. The people complained, but they dared not speak out and dared to be angry. Please plead
Your Majesty is in charge.
When Emperor Xuanwu learned about it, he became furious and ordered his ministers to find out the facts.
Dali Temple acted very quickly. Su Yingcheng's criminal deeds were soon revealed in the imperial court. Even the flow of his money was clear. Five or six out of ten of the money he collected went into Concubine Su's possession.
pocket.
Concubine Su, who had been crying and begging for mercy day and night since her brother's accident, fainted on the spot. King Ke hurried into the palace to plead for mercy. Emperor Xuanwu, who was furious, avoided seeing her and even issued an imperial edict to make Concubine Su his concubine.
He took away the right to co-manage the harem and ordered him to shut up and think about his mistakes.
Su Yingcheng, Gu County Magistrate, Eunuch Xu and others were all exiled by assassins. They were never allowed to return to Beijing or participate in the imperial examination for three generations.
The emperor was furious, and King Ke's faction did not dare to come forward again, so they calmed down again.
Ye Zhenzhen stayed at the house, eating melon and watching a show. When the dust settled, half a month passed.
There were no evil spirits and monsters lurking behind the scenes, and the property of Jingning Bo Mansion was recovered smoothly. Emperor Xuanwu even gave Su Yingcheng's house to them in order to compensate Jing Ning Bo Mansion for the more than 50 acres of land it had occupied.
As a result, the area of Jingning Bo's Mansion was expanded again, and it was more than enough to serve as the family residence of the Jingning Cui family.
Ye Zhenzhen has been busy recently, running back and forth with Cui Weizhen. She was busy cleaning up the uncle's house, while Cui Weizhen was busy building the family tomb. It took more than a month, in the golden autumn and August season, to finally put all the things together.
Things are ready.
Everything is ready except to move the coffin and bury it.
The Xiangguo Temple presided over the ceremony. Zen Master Xuyun personally presided over the ceremony. King Wei and Princess Ningyang were present in person, not to mention the high-ranking officials in the court. Among them were old friends of Cui Shichang, colleagues of Cui Weizhen, and some who wanted to curry favor with Jingningbo Mansion.
Officials... In short, Xiangguo Temple was very lively on this day, it could be described as huge and grand.
After the ceremony, Cui Weizhen and Ye Zhenzhen paid their respects to Zen Master Xuyun and all the guests. Wearing linen and mourning, with solemn faces, they supported their late father's coffin and headed to Jingning County.
The coffins moved by other tribesmen also went together. The journey was majestic, with mourning and music. Passers-by pointed and pointed, and soon they knew that this was Bo Jingning and his tribe moving the graves of their ancestors.
There was no one who did not want to cause trouble along the way. Even so, the walk was very tiring. Ye Zhenzhen had been pampered for so many years and had not walked such a long road for a long time. By the time she arrived at the family tomb, she was already tired.
My legs felt weak and my face turned pale.
Fortunately, Cui Weizhen helped her in time, so that she would not fall down in such a solemn and solemn occasion. In the following ceremony, unless it was necessary to appear, Cui Weizhen stood beside Ye Zhenzhen, supported her, and gave her
The most silent and steady reliance.
She couldn't help but hold his hand in his sleeve, met his eyes that could not conceal her sorrow and longing, and said softly: "The deceased is gone, Wei Zhen, you still have us."
Cui Weizhen removed the haze from his eyes and slowly showed a smile: "I know."
