Chapter 22 Family

Chu Zhao looked at the boy running in and felt a little moved.

Uncle Chu Lan has a wife and two concubines, and has three sons and one daughter, which is much more prosperous than her father's house.

But before she died, her uncle's family had already died and suffered scattered injuries.

The cousin Chu Ke was the first to die.

My uncle was extremely eager to become an official, but because he was dragged down by his father (he thought) that he could not do so. After Xiao Xun became emperor, he immediately asked his eldest son to become an official. However, he didn't know who was instigated to him, so he let the safe Hanlin official not do it and asked the eldest son to go to other counties to gain fame, which was involved in a major disaster relief case.

My uncle begged Xiao Xun, but Xiao Xun said helplessly that Chu Ke is the queen's brother. If he let it go, the public opinion will be difficult to calm down.

Finally, in order to calm public opinion, Chu Ke was put in prison, saying that he would live there for a few years, and when the limelight passed, he would release it.

But Chu Ke, who was spoiled since childhood, never suffered such crimes. He could not afford to be ill and died in prison.

My uncle and his family hated her to death, saying that she would step on her relatives and become a virtuous queen.

But she could not be a virtuous queen. The court still laughed at her, saying that if it weren't for her queen's hegemony, Chu Ke wouldn't have dared to do this.

The only one who gained a reputation was Xiao Xun, especially in sharp contrast to the arrogant power of his relatives during the late emperor. He was suddenly called for his wiseness by the people, which also caused the rebel Xie family to retreat step by step.

The uncle's family hated her, and she also hated her family and caused trouble for her. From then on, she was determined to be a virtuous queen and simply refused to let them become officials. She asked her uncle to open academies in other places and let them all leave the capital.

Later, my uncle occupied a lot of land by opening a college and was rich. His two cousins ​​had a wide range of friendship and drank and had fun all day long. My cousin got married, but he was retired because he was the queen's sister who was domineering and disrespectful to her parents-in-law.

These are all news from the noble ladies' meeting. She was both ashamed and angry and told Xiao Xun that the local officials should not let the uncle's family be indulged.

Later, I heard that my uncle was sick. The two cousins ​​fought for the family property, resulting in one death and one injury. The injured little cousin ran away, and my uncle also became angry to death due to the worsening of the condition.

Later, she met her cousin.

My cousin Chu Tang was taken into the palace by a noble lady. Although the family was unhappy, she was the only relative after all. She was still very happy to see her again.

But before he could express his joy, Chu Tang grabbed her neck and said that she had killed the whole family and wanted to fight her desperately.

"If it weren't for my father, you wouldn't have you married Xiao Xun, and it would have been your turn to be the queen." Chu Tang, who was in his forties, shouted like crazy, "Why are you glorious and wealthy? We are not as good as death."

She was pinched and fainted. When she woke up, Chu Tang had been killed by the imperial guards for conspiracy.

She was frightened and miscarried again a few days later. This was the second time she had lost her child. She was heartbroken and hated Chu Tang to death, and she did not think about Chu Tang's crazy words again.

Chu Tang was vain and secretly expressed his admiration to Xiao Xun, so he was jealous of her becoming the queen.

After dying once, I came back to life. When I think about it, I always feel that many things are not right. She once thought that a clear life was like a layer of gauze. She lived a confused life and died a confused life.

As in memory, Chu Ke hated her as soon as she spoke. Her uncle's three brothers and one sister had no feelings for her since she was a child, and because she had heard a lot about her father since she was a child, she also resented her father, was disagreeable with her, bullied her and laughed at her.

She grew up in a border county and heard so many words blaming her father for the first time. She was still the relatives. She was shocked and at a loss. In addition, she was looked down upon by the ladies in the capital, mocked her words and deeds, and was very dissatisfied with her father, so she swallowed her anger at her cousin's bullying and tried every means to please them.

Of course it is impossible now.

"What kind of courage do I have?" Chu Zhao said coldly, "What's the courageous thing to visit his father? That's the touching heaven of filial piety. You are still a scholar, don't you know loyalty or filial piety?"

Chu Ke was stunned by the words. How dare this dead girl refute him? Didn’t he always lower his head and said nothing before?

"You taught me a lesson?" He became even more angry, "Chu Zhao, what you did--"

"I know what I did, you don't need to say it again." Chu Zhao interrupted him, "Aren't you tired? If you are not tired, we will set off for Beijing." He frowned again, "Why did it come so slowly?"

Chu Ke almost choked himself in one breath.

"You, you-" He pointed at Chu Zhao, and his face blamed him for coming slowly. "You still know how tired you asked me? I almost died on the road, okay? If I die, it will be because of you."

It was indeed because she died, but Chu Zhao's face darkened: "That's because you are useless. I have walked the same path, why am I okay?"

Chu Ke was scolded again and couldn't help but look at this cousin in a daze. Why is this cousin so fierce?

"Don't say what has happened." Chu Zhao looked at him, "If you are tired, go to rest and have a meal. Then we will go back to Beijing. If you have any problems, let's talk about it when you go home. Let's make noise here and let outsiders laugh at it."

Chu Ke shouted, "You know you will let others laugh at you. Let me tell you, we have become the capital city long ago, no, with these things on your way, we have become the jokes of the whole world." As he said, he walked into the hall and complained again, "What did you do when you came to the post station? Didn't the prince of Zhongshan bring you? Why didn't you go to the palace?"

"There is a difference between men and women." Chu Zhao said casually, "I will damage my reputation when I go to the prince's mansion with me."

Chu Ke almost tripped by the threshold. Why does Chu Zhao’s words sound so weird today?

"Are you okay?" He looked at Chu Zhao, "What are you talking about insane things."

Worrying that he and his fellow prince of Zhongshan would damage his reputation? Heaven is, is it her great blessing to have a reputation with the prince?

Chu Zhao said coldly: "This is what my father said. If you don't let me have any contact with the prince's mansion, don't go."

Chu Ke didn't respect this uncle very much, and didn't think there was anything he had to follow.

"Your father should avoid the crime, so as not to cause trouble for others." He mocked, "But I am different from you, and Lord Deng and I thank the King of Zhongshan for help, it is unfair to do not thank you."

Chu Zhao was angry. Everyone said that her father was guilty. Before she became the queen, she said that his father was guilty. She became the queen and her father was also guilty.

But her father had clearly been guarding the border county for more than ten years. The border where her father was located was as solid as a rock. The people lived and worked in peace, and even no bandits were seen.

After Xiao Xun ascended the throne, his father dragged his sick body to guard the border counties and repelled the people of Xiliang to take advantage of the situation to rob.

My father personally led his troops to fight against the King of Xiliang. After the battle was won, everyone realized that his father had passed away.

Uncle Zhong said that his father was sitting upright on the horse, holding a long knife in his hand, and several people couldn't take it down even if they tried hard.

It is understandable that Xie scolded his father, after all, his father is loyal to Xiao Xun.

The court also scolded his father, saying that he was ambition, and insisted that her empress was forced by her father to make Xiao Xunli.

She wanted to marry Xiao Xun herself, and Xiao Xun wanted to marry her. When they got married, Xiao Xun was not the emperor or the prince was not!

"What are you talking nonsense?" Chu Zhao couldn't help but kick Chu Ke anymore, "If my father was really guilty, you would have been punished and sent to prison for a long time and were sent to work as a coolie. Can you still study, be called a young master? Can you still shout at me?"

Chu Ke didn't expect that she would dare to do something - to touch her feet, and the girl was extremely strong, and his exhausted and weak legs seemed to be broken.

He screamed, grabbing the door frame to avoid falling.

"What are you going crazy!" he shouted angrily, "You are addicted to hitting people!"

When the brother and sister started fighting, a cough came from behind.

"Young Master Chu, why don't you brothers and sisters reminisce about the past, I will go to visit the King of Zhongshan first?"

Chu Ke immediately put away his anger, held the door frame and turned around and looked graceful: "It's okay to make Lord Deng laugh. Of course, I want to thank King Zhongshan together."

Chu Zhao also saw it, and the anger on his face disappeared, and instead was shocked.
