Chapter Five Hundred and Thirty Rewards
Dingning Marquis Mansion.
Mrs. Zhang, the wife of Dingning Hou, listened to the noise coming from outside, and a hint of expectation flashed through her heart. Perhaps the people of King Liang found another opportunity to make trouble in the capital.
"What's wrong with it outside?" Zhang asked the maid who served.
The maid reported: "It was General Wei and Marquis of Huaiyuan who led their troops back to Beijing."
A cluster of flames in Zhang's heart was immediately extinguished. Wei Yuanchen returned to Beijing. Has the war outside completely subsided? It is impossible, she didn't believe it. How long has it been gone?
King Liang's plan for more than ten years could be defeated in an instant. But what she was looking forward to day and night ended in a hasty way?
The maid continued, "It seems that the marquis will return to Beijing soon." As she said that, she looked at the wife, not knowing whether the wife was looking forward to the marquis' return.
Everyone knows about the Zhang family. Except for the wife, everyone else in the Zhang family was put into prison. When King Liang started a military campaign, the Zhang family completely rebeled and would be executed. Because the wife was a female relative of the Marquis's house, she was confined to the house and was just waiting for the Marquis to come back to deal with it.
How will the Marquis arrange for the wife? Everything will be revealed when the Marquis comes back.
The maid put down the hot water in her hand and was about to go out. Zhang, who was huddled on the couch, suddenly stood up and rushed out.
The old woman at the door heard the sound and came to stop her from the left and right, blocking the door like two mountains.
"What are you going to do, Madam?" the old lady said coldly.
Zhang seemed a little crazy: "I want to go out and see, I want to go and see." She would believe it if she saw it with her own eyes.
The old lady looked cold: "They are welcoming the soldiers who have returned from victory outside. What are the ladies doing? Don't forget the things in their parents' home."
After saying this, the woman looked at Zhang's belly. Although Zhang was thinner, as he grew older, his belly began to rise and he became a little pregnant: "I advise my wife to take care of her baby. This is the last way out for her."
However, Zhang still refused to give up and tried his best to push the old lady away.
The woman was impatient: "Madam, don't make things difficult for the servants. The marquis told the elders of the clan that if the wife can listen to the advice, she will serve the wife and give birth to the child. If the wife is obsessed with it, then don't worry, and ask the government office to bring people."
The woman sighed: "Sending to the yamen is the last way. We can tie the wife to the bed. As long as we keep the child in our belly, it's okay, and the rest are ignored."
Zhang couldn't help but shivered. She knew that these people could do anything.
Seeing Zhang's slanting force, the two mothers dragged Zhang into the inner room.
"This is the last time," said the old lady, "I won't be able to talk about it next time."
Zhang lay on the couch, his eyes first became empty, and then became sad. These emotions eventually turned into hatred.
She tightly pinched the clothes on her lower abdomen. Now she has nothing, her family has gone, and her last hope has gone, but she has not yet taken revenge.
Cui Zhen…
Zhang gritted his teeth and his expression gradually became crazy.
...
Wei Yuanchen and Gu Chongyi took their troops and horses to dismount at Donghua Gate, and then pressed King Liang to stop in front of Wufeng Tower.
A sound of ritual music, King Liang raised his eyes and went outside the palace gate. Unfortunately, nothing was the result he wanted, not the ceremony he expected to ascension.
All civil and military officials stood on both sides in court robes, and all their eyes fell on him, a embarrassed prisoner of war.
King Liang wanted to speak, but his mouth was stuffed with numb core and could not make any sound. He looked straight at Wufeng Tower, waiting for the emperor to appear.
However, after a bustling bustle, a woman slowly walked into King Liang's sight.
Queen Wei in a dress.
Standing gracefully and luxuriously in front of people.
King Liang was stunned, and then couldn't help laughing. Was the foolish monarch finally replaced by Wei? But then he struggled unwillingly. His plan finally made a wedding dress for others, allowing Wei to take the opportunity to take over the power, and he was eventually defeated by a woman.
The rituals and music stopped, and the majestic voice of Empress Wei sounded: "Behead one hundred and twenty-three people including King Liang, and the head of King Liang is hung on the city wall. People in the world use this to learn from the warning. Even those who are rebellious will be killed even if they are strong."
King Liang raised his head and saw Queen Wei's contemptuous gaze.
All civil and military officials knelt on the ground to salute.
With the congratulations from everyone, Empress Wei slowly left Wufeng Tower.
King Liang and others were taken away by Long Jinwei and executed.
Gu Chongyi took a deep breath at this time. Although Queen Wei was just a woman, she was more powerful than the emperor when she stood there.
He is really a hero among women. No wonder the late emperor thought that Wei was the best candidate for the queen.
If Empress Wei had not accompanied the emperor to fight in the east and west, and would not have the emperor's current throne, the Wei family had already had prestige in the court. This time, Empress Wei took action to stabilize the court. Now the court dared not have any strange voices, but if you want to impress all court officials, you still need to make some more conspiracy.
It shouldn't be difficult for Empress Wei and the Wei family, let alone the emperor's chess.
Gu Chongyi had already seen the final result after thinking this way.
Speaking of which, Lord Wei really has some similarities with his aunt. Thinking of this, Gu Chongyi looked at Wei Yuanchen, and Wei Yuanchen's eyes kept looking at the direction where the Empress of Wufeng Tower left.
Gu Chongyi couldn't help but step forward and patted Wei Yuanchen on the shoulder. Empress Wei was confined for many years, and the Wei family must be very concerned. Now that we can meet, we naturally feel mixed feelings. When the formal ceremony is over, the Empress should summon Wei Yuanchen alone.
After offering the prisoner ceremony, generals such as Wei Yuanchen and Gu Chongyi went to Yangxin Palace.
...
Huaiyuan Marquis Mansion.
Mrs. Lin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Thanks to Zhuzhu's reminder, they welcomed the master at the city gate.
After returning home, she gave her instructions carefully, saying that Brother Chun was crying and they were late for leaving the house, so she changed to greet her at the city gate.
I don’t understand that the Marquis dares to say anything. Could it be that she was wrong to answer the response?
Although thinking about this, Mrs. Lin was still guilty and was preparing to make some food by herself, which was considered as compensation for the Marquis.
"Madam," the manager quickly walked into the inner courtyard, "Madam's happy event, the Marquis has been promoted."
Mrs. Lin said: "What official position has you been promoted?"
The manager smiled and said, "The master is now the governor and the cultivator."
Mrs. Lin was stunned. Although the Governor's Office of the Five Army is not as good as before, the official position is too large. Does the court trust the Marquis so much?
The manager said happily: "It's true. General Wei is now in charge of the commander-in-chief of the Beijing Guards, and his official position is not as high as that of the Marquis."
Mrs. Lin came to her senses after a while. What was going on? Why did it seem like they had picked up a bargain?
Mrs. Lin was thinking when she heard Gu Chongyi's voice.
"Madam, I'm back."
...
In the palace.
After the reward in Yangxin Palace, Empress Wei returned to Kunning Palace to change her clothes.
The female official came to report, "The Grandmad and Lord Wei are waiting outside the hall."
Empress Wei took people out of the hall to welcome Mrs. Li and Wei Yuanchen.
"Empress, this is impossible."
Seeing his daughter coming out, Mrs. Li hurriedly stepped forward to salute. As soon as she bowed down, she was helped up by Queen Wei: "Mother, from now on, you will never use these rituals again when you see your child."
