A Lady’s Tranquility

Chapter 51: Children's Tomb

Views:

The atmosphere has a strange subtlety.

Everyone didn't know if they felt something, their eyes wandered between Shen Zhiyi and Jiang Xuening, maybe they thought that Princess Leyang was too kind to Jiang Xuening.

The eunuch named Zheng Bao has thanked him and retired.

Jiang Xuening's heart was relieved of a major event. Although he didn't know what to do next, his originally tense body finally relaxed a bit.

If you use the words of You Fangyin in the previous life, what is her name

Come to think of it, it should be called a "player".

The next one is not good, she is first-class in acting poor ability.

But think about it, it's not that bad.

Of course, she used Shen Zhiyi to achieve her goal, but in another sense, it can be regarded as a good relationship for Shen Zhiyi, right

Not to be evil, not to be evil.

Jiang Xuening warned himself a few words in his heart, and then said: "Let's go."

Shen Zhiyi said nothing.

Although she did not read the same direction with these companions when she returned to Mingfeng Palace, she actually took Jiang Xuening's hand and accompany her all the way back to Yangzhizhai, and went into the hall to sit and talk to them for a while before leaving.

Xiao Shu seemed a little silent during the whole process.

When Shen Zhiyi left, she glanced at it several times and seemed to have something to say. But after looking at the other people sitting in the hall, he didn't say anything.

It was not until she saw Shen Zhiyi get up and leave that she silently followed.

Jiang Xuening turned her head to see it, and guessed that she had something to say to Shen Zhiyi alone, perhaps it had something to do with today, with Cining Palace and Empress Dowager Xiao.

But no one can catch up and listen.

As soon as Xiao Shu left, the hall became strangely quiet. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but no one spoke.

After a while, Fang Miaocai patted her chest with lingering fears, let out the same breath that she had been carrying all the way back, and sighed leisurely, "I came across this kind of thing when I first entered the palace, but it almost scared me to death."

The rest of the people nodded in agreement.

Du said: "I don't know what's wrong with Yu Ruyi..."

Jiang Xuening naturally knew what was wrong with Yu Ruyi, so she just kept her mouth shut at the moment.

After all, she was standing below and shouldn't have known.

Yao Rongrong had a look of fear on her face, but she was different from the others, she was still a little bit curious in addition to her fear. Yu Shi, right next to me, I, I caught a glimpse of the word. Just, just, what does 'yi boy' mean?"

"The righteous boy?!"

He couldn't help frowning and pinching his fingers to count the good and bad for himself. Hearing these words, his hands trembled, and he exclaimed involuntarily. He looked at Yao Rongrong with a look of horror, and even his voice was a little bit vague. twisted.

"You actually saw these two words?"

Yao Rongrong was completely frightened by Fang Miao's reaction: "Look, I saw..."

Zhou Baoying, the youngest and not familiar with the world, was most at a loss: "What's wrong with these two words?"

In the afternoon of early winter, the sun in the sky was obscured by hazy clouds, the edge of the forest of monuments in Baita Temple was already full of fallen leaves, and the thin branches trembled in the cold wind.

A large brass bell hangs high in the Chaoyin Pavilion.

Next to it is a short stone platform with a piano table, a tea table, and a lotus incense burner in the corner.

However, in the next moment, he was swept away in anger and collapsed!

"Bangdangdang!"

The lotus incense burner fell on the steps below, and jumped down the steps one by one. Most of the pale incense ash in the burner poured out, occasionally adorning a few dead leaves lying on the ground, which was shocking.

Jian Shu's eyelids couldn't stop jumping, he pressed his head down, and he didn't dare to look up.

Only the warm and generous voice of the past was frozen like ice.

It was Xie Wei's anger that became extremely calm and asked: "Who asked you to do it?"

Jian Shu said: "When the subordinates heard the news, the order had already been issued. When I asked them, they only said that it was news from Jinling, and the words were quite impatient with the subordinates, but they seemed to be guarded. After pretending to leave, he squatted there for half an hour, and saw a sedan chair coming from the direction of Le'an Square, and a man in his fifties, described as thin, with a goatee and wearing a gray coat, If the subordinates are not mistaken, it is very much like Mr. Gongyi next to the leader."

Xie Wei used to wear white when he was not in the palace or on business.

Unpretentious white clothes.

This made him seem even more irrelevant to the turmoil in the world, and he didn't have the slightest bit of cause and effect in the mundane world. In the same white clothes, if he wears it on others, he may be a pawn of a merchant, but when he wears it, there is always a kind of highness that cannot be concealed.

It's just that at this moment, there is a bit of cruelty in this high and vast.

He asked again, "Where is Dingfei?"

Jianshu lowered his eyes and lowered his voice: "After learning about this, Daoqin ordered someone to carefully review the secret letter sent to the capital by Mr. Dingfei in the past month, and there was not a word about what happened today."

Xie Wei laughed: "I don't change my heart, how can I know that the same is true?"

Jian Shu didn't understand this for a while. He wanted to say that when he was in Jinling, Dingfei's son was not obedient to his husband. Even after he went to Beijing, he would send secret messages to inform the teaching from time to time. In the teaching, he was obviously on his side.

But just as he was about to speak, the words he just said passed through his mind.

Gongyicheng has always been by the leader's side and rarely leaves Jinling.

How come the others have already arrived in the capital, and Dingfei's son, who is also in Jinling, is still unaware and has not given them any news

Thinking of this, Jian Shu's heart is already awe-inspiring: "Mr. means..."

Xie Wei's snow-white sleeve robe was stained with a little incense ash, and he lifted his finger and stroked it gently. Instead of wiping it off, the little incense ash melted away, causing more pollution.

Qingyuan's brows and eyes on weekdays hide coldness.

The line of his lips was straightened, and there was a faint danger in his expression, which only made people look horrified: "Since Gongyi Cheng is here, he has been ordered by the leader. with me."

Thinking of the complicated situation in the teaching, Jian Shu couldn't help frowning: "Mr. has been doing some business in the palace, but he has not yet started. Now, when Mr. Gongyi arrives, he is giving orders, completely disregarding your previous arrangements, and he is daring and rashly Ruyi lettering makes waves, it doesn't matter if they fail, if it involves Mr.

After all, all the people involved are the eyes and ears of the gentleman in the palace.

This is totally putting Mr. in danger!

Xie Wei was silent and only looked up at the forest of monuments in front of him.

Fallen leaves spread all over the ground.

Each stele in the forest of steles is six feet high and one chi wide, which is very different from ordinary stone steles. What is engraved on it is not a Buddhist verse, but one after another ordinary names.

After that, he didn't even have his name engraved.

There are only blank stone tablets standing in the bleakness of the mountains.

"The current state of affairs is like a string of arrows, imminent at the touch of a button. It doesn't matter if I am implicated, I'm just afraid that this matter will be used by someone with a heart and will harm other innocent people." He slowly closed his eyes, remembering the personnel affairs in the teaching, When he opened it again, Shen Hei Ruohantan's eyes were filled with a chilling silence, and even revealed a bit of ominousness, "Destroy my plan. Not enough to succeed, more than enough to fail!"

Jian Shu had already seen that the group of people in the teaching was not pleasing to the eye, and he wanted to say something when he opened his mouth.

Just out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of someone coming up the mountain behind.

He is an old monk wearing a cassock and kind-hearted.

So if he was about to speak, he swallowed it back.

The old monk was the abbot of Baita Temple, and his name was Wangchen. He was called "Master Wangchen" by all the people of Buddha. Today, Xie Wei invited him to lecture on the scriptures.

He came from a distance, and when he arrived in front of De Chaoyin Pavilion, he saw the messy incense ash in front of the steps.

The footsteps stopped.

Xie Weiren stood on the pavilion, who was clearly chilling and cold before, but when he turned around, he was gone, the corners of his lips were slightly curved, and his face was warm like a spring breeze, and the green hills were far away, and he only said: "Shi Cai's swords and books are reckless and overturned. After the incense burner, I hope the master will not be blamed."

Sword Book: "..."

Master Wangchen clasped his hands in a salute, and only said generously, "Amitabha, it's fine."

In Yangzhizhai, those who were a little thoughtful knew that since Fang Miao had such a big reaction to the two words Yao Rongrong said, she must know something.

So they all asked.

Fang Miao said: "When you hear the word 'righteous boy', can't you remember anything?"

The crowd was a little confused.

Jiang Xuening was silent.

It was Chen Shuyi who responded quickly, her eyelids jumped, and she suddenly said, "You mean, could it be... Yitong Tomb?!"

As soon as this statement came out, someone suddenly said "ah", obviously also remembered a little.

It's just that this is an old incident twenty years ago, and most of them have only heard of it. They know that there is such a place and something happened, but they don't know what the specific situation was.

Zhou Baoying was even more ignorant and asked, "What, what's the matter?"

Fang Miao glanced at Chen Shuyi and said, "Twenty years ago, when King Pingnan rebelled against the Party and rebelled against the rebels of the Heavenly Sect..."

King Pingnan was originally the brother of the late emperor.

But it was impossible for the late emperor to marry the Empress Dowager Xiao.

Empress Dowager Xiao's elder brother was Duke Ding Xiao Yuan, behind the entire Xiao clan, and at that time Xiao Yuan also married the sister of Hou Yong Yi Hou next door, that is, Yan Lin's aunt, as his wife, the two most prominent men of the Great Gan Dynasty. The family was united by in-laws and the late emperor to support the late emperor. How could the late emperor fail

So in the end the throne changes, and the first emperor wins.

After he ascended the throne, he sent Pingnan Wang Yuan to the fief.

Unexpectedly, King Pingnan was not reconciled. He secretly raised troops and colluded with the Heavenly Sect, which was widely circulated among the people and attracted many believers, and his power became stronger and stronger.

Twenty years ago, together with the head of the sect of the day, they marched north to take the capital.

Heavy troops surrounded the entire palace.

The late emperor was hunting in Shanglinyuan at that time, but he avoided the catastrophe, and was guarded by the elite soldiers of Shanglinyuan and fled all the way to the north.

However, Empress Dowager Xiao, who was still the queen at the time, and Shen Lang, who was still the prince at the time, remained in the palace.

"Speaking of which, this is strange. King Pingnan's elite soldiers and the rebels of the Heavenly Sect rushed into the palace, but they did not see any trace of the queen mother and the saint, so I suspected that there was a secret passage in the palace, and they escaped from the palace. When Fang Miao said this, her voice paused, and there was a hint of fear in her expression, "But the rebels are already besieging the city, if the Empress Dowager and the Sage escape from the palace at this time, they must pass through various city gates. When he left the city, he immediately sent heavy troops to guard the city gate without letting out a single person. King Pingnan hated the late emperor so much that he would not give up until he found His Royal Highness, so he sent people to search from house to house in the capital. All boys over, under twelve years old, or over three feet tall, were arrested..."

Everyone shuddered when they heard this.

Jiang Xuening already felt a little nauseated.

Fang Miao's voice was a bit difficult, but there was a force in the dark that pushed her to talk down, as if this matter should be known to many people: "At that time, many people in Beijing had already escaped early after hearing about the war, but in Beijing There are still many families, so there are more than 300 boys arrested. His Royal Highness was about eight years old at that time, and King Pingnan captured the palace servants who had served His Royal Highness to identify them. There were more than 300 boys. But none of them were crown princes. King Pingnan was furious. The capital was surrounded by iron buckets. He didn't believe that people could fly with wings, so he sent orders to the whole city. They slaughtered all the more than 300 boys who were caught."

Zhou Baoying had never heard of this before, her eyes were already round, and she asked softly, "What about later?"

Fang Miao's face turned pale and she only said: "Later, Duke Ding and Hou Yongyi hurriedly retreated the rebels and reopened the closed city gate to enter the capital, only to see a pile of corpses piled up at the gate of the palace. The heavy snow covered the people and froze people together. The blood congealed into ice, and even with an iron drill, it couldn't be chiseled. If a piece was chiseled, it might still be attached to the flesh and blood of the person, so they dared not move. When the snow turned into water, Everyone is rotten…”

"vomit!"

Yao Xi, who had been on the sidelines and didn't speak, finally couldn't help it, covering her mouth and running out of the room.

The faces of the others were also very ugly.

Fang Miao's stomach was actually rumbling, thinking of the scene in the Cining Palace today, she was more and more trembling: "Afterwards, these more than 300 children were buried by the emperor's decree, and the monument was erected in Baita Temple for the sake of The 'righteous boy' who died to save the prince, so the stele forest of Baita Temple is also called the 'righteous boy's grave'. I heard that the young prince, who was only seven years old in the Dingguo Gongfu at that time, was also among them... "

After all, it should be Brother Xiao Shu.

It's just that the background is not much higher than that of Xiao Shu today: after all, in addition to being the son of the Xiao family, Ding Fei's biological mother is also the elder sister of Hou Yanmu, an unprecedented bloodline that was bred by the two great families.

Although the Qingyuan Uncle Mansion was in decline, You Yue had heard of this incident, and it was inevitable that she would show it off: "Speaking of which, Madam Yan was heartbroken after losing her son, so she reconciled with Duke Dingguo and returned to Marquis Yongyi. He passed away soon after. It seems that the Yan family and the Xiao family didn't communicate with each other after this incident."

Yao Rongrong suddenly said "Ah".

She looked very surprised: "Then that means, Miss Xiao is actually from the successor?"

"boom!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the half-closed door in front of the hall was pushed open and hit the wall with a loud bang, scaring everyone to look back.

It was Xiao Shu who was standing at the door.

With an unprecedented stern expression on his face, he only said coldly: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
