The Lonely Family in the Red Chamber

Emperor Chengqing's stroke had already been foreshadowed. His body was no longer in his prime. Originally, his foundation was injured because of taking elixir. Later, even though Tu Jingnian tried his best to comfort him, Emperor Chengqing seldom exercised and valued power. He has been thinking too much, and his sleep has not been very good. Now, the betrayal of two sons and even the concubine, who considers himself a confidant, has dealt a series of blows to Emperor Chengqing.

Emperor Chengqing had been carrying it to death all the time, but who knows, today, someone ran over and said something to him, and he suddenly suffered a stroke.

Tu Jingnian almost lost his temper and went crazy. Emperor Chengqing had some signs of stroke before, and the imperial doctor also said that he should try his best to make Emperor Chengqing calm and not get angry, otherwise his blood would surge up and cause a stroke.

"Tell me, who saw Father just now, and what did you say to Father?" Tu Jingnian looked at Cao Anping and snapped.

Cao Anping felt distressed. As the chief steward next to Emperor Chengqing, this role was indeed very good when the emperor was still there, but one emperor and one courtier, and people like them knew too many emperor's secrets. When the emperor passed away, they usually had to be buried. Better yet, they would guard the tomb of the former emperor for the rest of his life. This was already a good death.Cao Anping naturally thought the same way.

After Emperor Chengqing ascended the throne, he began to build his own imperial mausoleum. After Cao Anping became the general manager, he bought a house and land near the imperial mausoleum, and after communicating with Emperor Chengqing, he adopted an orphan as an adopted son.In fact, there are also people in the Cao family who want to adopt their children to him, but he doesn't want to agree at all. He doesn't know the virtues of those people in the clan. He is a lonely old eunuch guarding the imperial mausoleum, and he can't help but be manipulated by these clansmen. Therefore, he would rather spend money to buy the family property for sacrifices in his hometown than let the clansmen go to Beijing for half a step.

With his support, his adopted son is now a moderately rich man. He is a bit cautious, but he is still filial. With little property, as long as his adopted son is not stupid, he has to take good care of him for the rest of his life, otherwise, what he has now will be nothing.

Cao Anping thought very well, but that was when Emperor Chengqing was at the end of his life. If Emperor Chengqing had an accident while he was serving him, he would not even be able to be buried for the elderly, so he would be sent to the hospital directly. Tossed into the Department of Punishment.

Therefore, looking at the prince at this moment, Cao Anping had a bitter expression on his face, and stammered a little: "Just now, the clan king Lingyu came over and said a few words to the sage, and the sage fainted, and the servants were not around. Waiter, how do you know what you said, Prince Yu is in the side hall right now!"

Tu Chengyan, Prince of Yujun, is also quite depressed at the moment. Tu Chengyan's lineage is actually far away from Emperor Chengqing. It is Renzong's half brother.Yujun Wang's lineage has always been cautious, not too involved in government affairs and reserves, and is also popular in the clan. After Emperor Chengqing ascended the throne, his brothers died almost. The original clan order did not favor him , and helped the second child, he didn't like it, so he found a reason to evacuate him, and when he turned around, he got out of Tu Chengyan, who was originally unemployed and enjoying his wealth at home, and asked him to be the patriarchal order.

Tu Chengyan's patriarchal decree is quite enjoyable. After all, the patriarchal mansion is fine, but the several properties created by Tu Jingnian, as the patriarchal decree, account for a lot of it. Dry stocks, a lot of income.Originally, I thought it would be like this in this life, the two princes rebelled, Tu Jingyi committed suicide directly, but Tu Jingrui became a tenant in the clan's mansion, a hot potato in Tu Chengyan's hands.

Even if Emperor Chengqing ordered Tu Jingrui to be demoted to a commoner, as long as he was not expelled from the imperial family, he would still be in the clan, so naturally the clan's residence had to come forward.Tu Chengyan didn't have much affection for this kid. He was not very capable and had a lot of airs. Before that, he was indifferent to him as an elder. He looked superior, but this time it fell into Tu Chengyan's hands. But Yan didn't dare to deal with him properly, there was no way, he was Emperor Chengqing's son one day, so you couldn't really treat him as an ordinary sinner.

Tu Jingrui is now trying to save his life. On the one hand, he touches people with emotion and makes various confessions. He first wrote blood books, and then began to prick blood and copy scriptures. On the other hand, he is also very straightforward. , Going home for the New Year is obviously impossible in this era.Although it is not allowed to use corporal punishment on Tu Jingrui casually, a little trick is enough to make Tu Jingrui, a pampered prince, uncomfortable.

Tu Jingrui is like squeezing toothpaste now, and big news can be revealed every few days.This time, what he revealed frightened Tu Chengyan, and he entered the palace directly with Tu Jingrui's confession, and found Emperor Chengqing, but when Emperor Chengqing heard it, he was so angry that he rolled his eyes. Turn over, fall down.

Tu Chengyan only felt a thunderbolt falling from the sky, and there were only four words left in his mind: "It's over!" He was a cautious person, but in the end, the emperor had a stroke from the news he brought. Could the prince not be angry? I, Zong Renling, might not be able to keep this position. Thinking about it this way, Tu Chengyan's complexion was even worse than that of Tu Jingnian.

"Uncle Wang!" Tu Jingnian said with a gloomy face, "I don't want to say any extra words, what is it that made Uncle Wang rush to meet the saint regardless of the time, and made the emperor so angry!"

Tu Chengyan was dumbfounded, and took out a few confessions: "His Royal Highness, that's all! This matter involves a saint, and I don't dare to specialize in it!"

Tu Jingrui didn't know why he was thinking that day, he seemed to want to arouse his father's loving heart, and said that Emperor Chengqing still had a treasure left in the sea.

Tu Jingrui doesn't know much, but just accidentally learned that during Emperor Chengqing's second southern tour, in the other courtyard of the Zhen family, he once favored a maid in the other courtyard, which was sent by the Zhen family. , I forgot about it later, and this maid was also left in the other courtyard, and was later picked up by the Zhen family.Who knows, later on, she was lucky enough to become pregnant and gave birth to a daughter. For some unknown reason, the Zhen family did not report the matter to the public.

Tu Jingrui only knew this, he didn't know who that girl was, and he didn't know what happened to that girl. In his heart, there was a royal blood in his family. Princess, she was hidden by the Zhen family!

After Tu Chengyan learned about it, he immediately ran to interrogate those who had just been sentenced in the Zhen family and had not yet had time to behead him. He also found some servants who had served the maid back then, and finally pieced together an unbelievable thing that made him flustered. , had to rush over to Emperor Chengqing to report the conclusion.The third master of the Zhen family, that is, Zhen Yingjia's direct younger brother, Zhen Yingrong, actually directly accepted the maid as his concubine. Then, after the birth of the royal blood, she suddenly became the concubine of the Zhen family. Many people in the Zhen family They all thought that it was the third master who forcibly took over the concubine, seeing that she was pregnant, and then passed her through the Ming road.

That concubine knew it well, so she was naturally unwilling to do so, but the lives of her family were in the hands of the Zhen family, and even in order to prevent her from saying something to her daughter, she hardly saw herself Under the worry and anger, her daughter died of illness when she was only four or five years old.It just so happened that the granddaughter raised by Mrs. Fengsheng just got married, so Zhen Yingrong sent the concubine daughter to the old lady as a tease.

Mrs. Fengsheng didn't know the identity of this child, she only regarded her as the granddaughter of her concubine. This girl was also pitiful. Everyone said that she was not born by his wife, and her biological mother was just a slave. Therefore, she was raised like a little rabbit. With a temper, she tried her best to please the old lady, and finally almost became the role of half a lady and half a maid.

This time something happened to the Zhen family, the girl didn't have time to say she was married, and Mrs. Feng Sheng was gone. As the daughter of a criminal minister, she was imprisoned in the prison temple for a while. The few guilty ones were naturally beheaded, exiled, or hard labored, and the rest were naturally demoted to official slaves. Because they were born to be outstanding, the first batch of her was sold, and she was given to Xihualou, a very famous Beijing city. I bought it, because I am a little older and I have received better education. After training for a while, I have already opened my face and asked people to comb it!

God, the royal princess with golden branches and jade leaves has become an oiran in a brothel. Is there such a ridiculous thing in the world!The Zhen family deserved to be hacked to death!

Emperor Chengqing naturally had no feelings for a daughter who didn't know her existence at all, but the woman he had used became Zhen Yingrong's concubine, and his own daughter was treated as a slave by his wet nurse, that is, a slave!That's right, after the Zhen family's rebellion, Emperor Chengqing's affection for Mrs. Fengsheng has been exhausted. She is just a servant, and even if she was devoted to herself back then, she should be loyal to her!Then, because of the crimes committed by the Zhen family, her own daughter was reduced to the land of fireworks!My own face has been stripped clean!

Tu Jingnian looked at those confessions with a headache, and gritted his teeth, "Where's that girl?"

Tu Chengyan said with trepidation: "After confirming his identity, I brought him out, and now he is placed in one of my houses!"

Tu Jingnian was very troubled, this girl was already ruined anyway, the royal family could not recognize such a princess, she could only change her face, or be raised for the rest of her life, whether as a lay Buddhist at home or a monk, if she wanted When you marry, you have to be a young widow. After a few years, you can find someone to marry, but you can't marry any good one.

Now the problem is not the girl's problem at all, Tu Jingnian gritted his teeth and said, "How many people still know about this?" Damn, he doesn't want someone to spread the word on the street in the future that he slept with the emperor's daughter.

Tu Chengyan said: "Other people who knew about this matter have been dealt with, and now only the saint, His Highness, and ministers know about it!"

Tu Jingnian nodded, and walked out tiredly. It happened that the imperial doctor had almost done the pulse diagnosis. It was nothing more than those words. The anger was overwhelming and the blood was surging. Now he can only do acupuncture and moxibustion first, trying his best to wake up Emperor Chengqing. Not everything will be fine in the past, and there may be very serious sequelae, for example, poor walking, crooked eyes and mouth, unable to speak and so on.

Tu Jingnian gritted his teeth and said, "Acupuncture first, father must wake up and come up with an idea!" He looked at Emperor Cheng Qing who was lying on the bed, unconscious and clenching his teeth. In front of him, he had the heart to jump directly at him and beat him to death.Thinking this way in his heart, Tu Jingnian also said: "The Zhen family, there are still some unsentenced ones, let Gu have a good interrogation, and must be dealt with severely, so as to warn others!" Murderous.
