In the Hejian Hou Mansion, a group of servants stood in front of the second lady Yuan Wanqiu, the third lady Yun Yan, and the female steward Mang Zhong. Mang Zhong knew that the second lady was weak-tempered and the third lady was from a humble background, so he said to everyone on their behalf: "Today we are invited
I don’t know what happened when I entered the palace
It is a blessing or a curse, but no matter whether it is blessing or disaster, everyone must believe in it, but as long as the Marquis is still there, we will be fine. In addition, don’t tell anyone about anything in the house. The Marquis has only two wives.
No one else, everyone remembers it."
"Remember." Everyone knew very well that Miss Mangzhong was talking about Shang Wan'er. Although Shang Wan'er almost lived in the palace this year to accompany Xuanyuan Chenghua, and was rarely seen by the servants in the palace.
But everyone in the house knows that the master has a foster sister.
Mangzhong nodded to the two ladies, and they finally felt relieved. Zhang Xiaowu was originally an orphan, and the only people close to him were the two ladies and his god-sister Shang Wan'er. Yunyan reminded everyone not to mention it, and because Zhang Xiaowu was usually very rude to his servants.
Well, everyone knows very well that the servant Ku Hu has sworn to strictly abide by the secret and will not reveal anything about Shang Wan'er.
Yuan Wanqiu also asked people to distribute the family wealth to everyone, and warned that once they encountered misfortune, the servants in the house could disperse on their own. The money was severance money, and everyone did not need to be tied to this big tree to wait for death. The servants did not want to disperse.
go, one after another
They said they would stay in the mansion and wait for the Marquis to return. Mang Zhong said that if you stay in the mansion, you are afraid that you will be implicated in the future disaster of the Marquis' mansion. However, the servants expressed their willingness to live and die with the Marquis and the Marquis. The two ladies were immediately moved to tears.
stand up.
Finally, Yuan Wanqiu said: "Everyone, the master often said that you are also the children of father and mother, with sound limbs and facial features that are no different from the nobles and royals. Even if you leave the house, he does not want you to mistreat him in the future. You.
Will you live a good life in the future? People who have left the Hejian Hou Mansion? Please straighten your back in the future and don’t let the reputation of the Marquis fall."
"yes."
Yuan Wanqiu asked Mangzhong to stay in the house again? Yunyan also said: "Yes, sister? You don't need to accompany us. You haven't married yet? There is no need to accompany us to the palace to die."
However, Mangzhong shook his head and said: "I will follow you into the palace to serve you. You cannot be without someone who can help you."
Wanqiu said: "Master has always treated you like a girl? How can he treat you as his servant? No matter what you say about him, he always smiles. How can you regard yourself as a servant?"
Mang Zhong smiled with tears in his eyes and said: "How could I not know that I have known the general for more than six years? How could I not know that he treats me like a family member. That is why I must accompany you and my two sisters-in-law."
The three of them cried together and left the Marquis' Mansion. When they saw Li Cunyuan standing at the door, Mang Zhong stared at him and suddenly said: "Marquis Li Jun, you are here well."
Li Cunyuan has long forgotten Mang Zhong? And after so many years, Mang Zhong has grown from a thin and small maid to a fat girl? He has no memory at all, but who can call him Li Junhou? It must be from the past.
Old man. He asked doubtfully: "Who are you?"
"In the past, when Li Junhou was under General Cheng's account, how often did my master have contact with the general? You two also cherished each other and became close friends? My master often said? Li Junhou and his eldest brother
He is a dragon and a phoenix among men, and when he wears armor and leads the army to drive away the barbarians, he achieves unparalleled feats." Mang Zhong reminded, and then said with a smile: "I hope Junhou Li will never forget the ideals he told my master in the past."
Li Cunyuan suddenly blushed. He suddenly remembered that this maid was the maid who served him when he and Zhang Xiaowu were drinking and chatting. But he didn't expect that she is still in the Hejian Marquis Mansion. He nodded and said: "You just
The servants in the mansion do not need to go with the two ladies."
But Mang Zhong said: "I am the sworn sister recognized by the Marquis of Hejian, and I am also the steward of the Marquis of Hejian's Mansion. How can I not accompany the two ladies when they enter the palace?"
Li Cunyuan approached her and whispered: "I've gone and narrowly escaped death."
Mang Zhong said without realizing it: "How can the sworn sister of the Marquis of Hejian be greedy for life and afraid of death?"
Li Cunyuan admired him in his heart, and then had the sedan carried over, and led the three of them into the imperial city and to the Taiyuan Hospital. Dong Zhen, the chief minister of the Taiyuan Hospital, arranged the best room for them early, and there was no lack of warmth or lack of warmth.
Eat and drink. Everyone at Taiyuan Hospital knew that they were the family members of Zhang Xiaowu, Marquis of Hejian, so how could they dare to treat them badly? Although they were under house arrest, they did not suffer any injustice. It was just that people at Taiyuan Hospital prohibited them from contacting others.
After Emperor Dade killed the four families of Lu, Xiang, Shi, and Shi, he also ordered the execution of the Su family. Even Su Yu's father and eldest brother had parted ways with him on bad terms, and they were arrested by Emperor Dade's order.
In order to survive, Su Yu's eldest brother Su Jing went out of his way to report that his second brother Su Yu had taken bribes, perverted the law, and colluded with the Marquis of Hejian in an attempt to rebel. He also personally brought people to Su Yu's home.
Su Jing saw Su Yu's home. After careful calculation, he discovered that Su Yu's two sons were not here. He was about to reveal it when he saw his younger siblings staring at him with red eyes. He felt guilty and stopped talking. He was in Su Yu's house.
Yu's family found Su Yu's correspondence with Zhang Xiaowu over the years.
Su Yu's letter naturally talked about a lot of things that happened when he was in the White Tiger Army, but most of them talked about the war situation and people's livelihood. In the past, when Su Yu was serving as a marching recorder in the White Tiger Army, he would ask about everything in the south of the Yangtze River for Zhang Xiaowu.
The correspondence between the two was immediately sent to Emperor Dade's desk. After reading a few articles, Emperor Dade slammed the table and said angrily: "Okay, when he was a silver guard, he was thinking about the war in Jiangnan.
, The ambition is not small, the ambition is not small, this Su Yu family must be killed..."
"Your Majesty, you can't." Gu Yong stood up and objected in time, "Su Yu is dead. The Su family doesn't know about it, so it's not fatal yet."
"Except for Su Jing, everyone else will be put to death." Emperor Dade said without any resistance.
All the ministers in the imperial court were panic-stricken, fearing that Emperor Dade would investigate them for having taken refuge with Zhang Xiaowu. Fortunately, Gu Yong argued hard anyway, and Li Cunyi also strongly supported them. Their strength was enough to scare Emperor Dade, so they stopped
A revenge plan.
The officials felt at ease, and then Emperor Dade asked them to prepare for the Spring Festival in the fourth year of Dade to make Longdu City happy. The officials had no choice but to please him in every possible way and fulfilled Emperor Dade's wish, and they all prepared to go. In fact, except for the end of the year
Two major events happened, one was that the White Tiger army invaded Longdu, and the other was that the dog barbarians broke through the Lianglang Pass. For three years in Dade, the weather was smooth, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the court's income did not decrease with the exemption of agricultural taxes. It was praised.
The country is in a state of revitalization, and people are willing to be happy at the end of the year.
But now that the Dog Barbarians broke through the barrier and went south, the whole world was shocked. The children of five households in Longdu City took a ding to go north to drive out the Dog Barbarians. How many people could be happy. Unfortunately, Emperor Dade asked to celebrate the New Year, so the people had to pretend
Joy, but still anxiously waiting for news from the front line, and looking forward to the safe return of her son.
