After hearing Hua Ling's words, Yan Shi frowned and thought for a while: "Don't let Qingyue know about this."
Hua Ling agreed: "Brother, I know, but Mr. Qingyue is not the son of Master Jiang Zhicheng? There is nothing to worry about."
"Qingyue is not Master Jiang's son." Yan Shi sighed, and slowly explained Jiang Qingyue's life experience, "Qingyue's original name was Jing Xing, but he was the son of Hezhou governor Jing Rulan. Clever, he has been known as a child prodigy since he was a child. When he was six years old, Hezhou suddenly suffered a severe drought that had not happened in a century. Mr. Jing led his people to fight the drought without sleep, and the court also allocated a lot of relief food for them. Fortunately, after After many efforts, the drought was finally passed without any danger. In order to reconcile the people of the state, the imperial court not only exempted them from taxes for three years, but also prepared seeds for them next spring, which is the problem."
Hua Ling was a little puzzled: "What's wrong with this seed?"
Yan Shi continued: "After the seeds were planted in the ground, there was no harvest. The matter was reported to the imperial court, and the imperial court sent people down to investigate, saying that the seeds Mr. Jing gave to the people were not the batch given by the imperial court. Mr. Jing did it for his own sake. Filling his pockets, he sold the good seeds from the imperial court and gave them to the people of Hezhou in exchange for some inferior seeds. The people of Hezhou have suffered a year of disaster. They thought they would live a good life this year, but they have worked so hard. In the spring, such a result came. The angry people surrounded the governor's mansion and asked Mr. Jing and the court to give an explanation. But Mr. Jing did not admit that he had done this, saying that he was framed by someone, and hurriedly I went to look for his staff member Ma who was in charge of this matter, but unexpectedly Mr. Ma committed suicide. Once he died, Mr. Jing couldn’t clean it up. Later, the court sentenced Mr. Jing’s family to beheaded.”
Hua Ling opened her mouth wide in surprise: "Didn't you check it back then?"
"At that time, the people of Hezhou were on the verge of fury, and the Wuman Kingdom was fighting against us in Dayuan again. Both inside and outside were worried. After the people of the Wuman Kingdom heard about this, they incited the people of my Dayuan, saying that my Emperor Dayuan only cared about pleasure, He didn't care about the life and death of the people at all. All of a sudden, there were grievances among the people, even if the father knew that Mr. Jing was framed, so what?" Yan Shi snorted coldly when he said this, "He was just looking for someone who could The one who appeases the wrath of the people."
Hua Ling was thoughtful: "Then what happened after that?"
"Master Jing was originally on good terms with his grandfather, and my mother had seen him before she married into the palace. According to my mother, he is a man of beauty. She didn't believe that Lord Jing would really do such a thing, but Lord Jing is going to die. The queen mother couldn't save his head, so she could only save his family, so the queen mother went to ask the father, but the father didn't agree, and sent the mother away on the grounds that the harem should not interfere in politics." When Yan Shi said this , sighed lightly.
Hua Ling then asked again: "Then how did Mr. Qingyue escape?"
"Seeing that Mr. Jing's family could not be saved, the queen mother decided to take the next best thing and wanted to save Qingyue. She then discussed the matter with Mr. Jiang Zhicheng. In fact, Mr. Jiang and Mr. Jing did not know each other before, but he had heard of Mr. Jing. My lord's reputation is that he is a good official who does things for the people. So, Mr. Jiang agreed to save Qingyue with his mother." Yan Shi continued, "At that time, Mr. Jiang happened to have a son named Jiang Qingyue. The baby was weak and sick. When he was three years old, Master Jiang sent him to practice martial arts and exercise in Baiyun Temple, thousands of miles away from the imperial city. But Jiang Qingyue's health was really poor. He was ill. At that time, Mr. Jiang had not had time to arrange the funeral for the youngest son, so after thinking about it, he discussed with the queen mother that if Qingyue was rescued, it would be better to let him replace the original Qingyue."
"Master Jiang's parent-son Qingyue was sent out since he was a child, so no one in the imperial city knew his appearance. Jing Xing at that time and now Qingyue has been living in Hezhou, and no one in the imperial city has ever seen him. A few. So, Lord Jiang and his mother had already discussed and decided, so they used a method to rescue Qingyue. Not long after Qingyue was rescued, her mother left." When Yan Shi said this, his eyes were a little red, and he took a breath. The tone continued, "Master Jiang sent Qingyue to other places to raise him for two years in order to be safe, and took him back to the imperial city when he was ten years old. You also know that the appearance of children almost changes every day. After Qingyue returned to the imperial city, Mr. Jiang said that his body has not yet recovered, so he was only kept at home and rarely let him out."
"When Qingyue was thirteen years old, he looked like
It was very different five years ago. At this time, Master Jiang let him leave the mansion with confidence. I happened to be short of a companion at that time, so Master Jiang brought Qingyue into the palace to be my companion. "
"I know about this. I originally planned to enter the palace to be my brother's companion, so that I could see you sooner. But King Zhao chose the companion before you, so Hua Qiancheng sent Hua Xu into the palace. In the palace, two sons in a family can't be accompanied by the prince, so I didn't go." When Hua Ling said this, her tone was quite resentful, as if she had returned to that time.
Yan Shi kissed him on the cheek: "Aren't we together now?"
"Yeah, we're together now." Hua Ling looked at the happy baby lying on the crib, joy filled her whole body in an instant, the baby was already there, and she was thinking about what to do.
"Speaking of which, Mr. Qingyue's life experience is also very pitiful." Hua Ling used to think that he was a person whose parents died early, but he didn't expect that there was such a reason in the middle, "Then what happened to the seed back then? Check it out?"
Yan Shi shook his head and said: "All the people who came into contact with this matter were beheaded by the emperor, and even the heads of those who participated in the seed distribution were lost. Those people are gone. It's not easy to investigate. Mr. Jing Before he died, he said that he is also responsible for this matter, if he is more careful and vigilant, he will not be succeeded by the wicked and change this kind of thing."
"Even if we don't find out, isn't there even someone to suspect?" Yan Shi knew that his enemy was his successor, but according to the current situation, Jiang Qingyue didn't even know who her enemy was. torture.
"According to my guess, the person who did this should be from the queen's family." Unexpectedly, Yan Shi had a guess.
Hua Ling was puzzled: "How can you see it? Is there any enmity between the Empress and Master Jing?"
"Because Uncle Yang has taken a fancy to Hezhou," said Uncle Yang, who is also the elder brother of the Empress and the Yang family. It’s cloudy.” This is how those who obey will prosper and those who oppose will perish.
"It's unreasonable!" Hua Ling got angry, and her voice couldn't help but raised a little. The baby in the cot also yelled a few times after hearing the sound, and Hua Ling's anger was miraculously dispelled by him. He looked at the baby and laughed, "Look at how smart my son is, he will bark after me."
Yan Shi smiled: "Everything is good for your son in your eyes."
"Of course." Hua Ling was quite proud, "His papas are delicious in my eyes."
After saying a few words like this, the gloom that Yan Shi had just suppressed in his heart was dispelled: "Empress and those people, one of them counts as one, and I will not let them go. Since they played Qingyue's Then don’t blame me and you’re welcome.” The only people who knew the real news of Jiang Qingyue’s death were the people in Baiyun Temple. He went out.
Yan Shi stood in front of the window, looking at the moon in the vast sky, thoughtful.
"Brother, let's go rest." Hua Ling stood beside him and held him in his arms.
Yan Shi nodded and went to rest with him.
It turned out that Yan Shi really hoped that Emperor Chongjin would get better soon, after all, he was his father who was related by blood, and it was a lie to say that he was not worried. But now, instead, he hopes that Emperor Chongjin will always be like this, at least until he has dealt with everything.
Yan Shi has read the Four Books and Five Classics since he was a child, and he has been taught to be a gentleman successively, so he disdains to use such insidious methods to deal with anyone. But now, he doesn't mind making a move.
On this day, he said to Hua Ling: "Ming Ting, I want someone under your sect to do something for me."
"Brother, please tell me." Hua Ling was very happy that she could help Yan Shi again.
Yan Shi bowed his ear and said a few words to Hua Ling, the more Hua Ling listened, the happier he became, and he kept saying good-bye.
"Brother, don't worry, this matter is all on my shoulders." Hua Ling patted her chest and agreed very happily.
What Yan Shi asked Shifangmen to do was to deal with Uncle Yang Guo. After Master Jing died,
Uncle Yang Guo went to Hezhou as expected, and Hezhou is actually a rich place in Dayuan, rarely encountering a calamity year, it was just that Master Jing caught up with him that time.
Yan Shi's lips curled up. I believe that it won't be long before there will be a good show to watch.
And the Empress and King Zhao, don't you want to take advantage of Young Master Qingyue to bring him down? Then compete and see who loses. The word "cocooning oneself" is for them.
Yan Shi only needs to wait for the good news, but now, he is going to hug his fat son.
The baby was very dishonest in Hua Ling's arms, and kept trying to pounce on Yan Shi's side. Yan Shi hugged him in his arms as he wished, and suddenly frowned: "How do I feel that this kid Heavy again?"
"No way, this is just right." Hua Ling excused her son.
Yan Shi looked at the baby suspiciously: "Really? Why do I think he is fatter than babies of the same month?" Yan Shi has often paid attention to other babies since she had a baby.
"What's wrong with being fat? It's so cute." Hua Ling pinched the baby's chubby face, it was chubby and very tactile.
Yan Shi was a little worried: "Don't be a fat man when you grow up."
Hua Ling smiled: "How come, you and I are not fat, how could the baby be fat? He is just a little greedy, and he will be fine when he grows up."
