In early July, just after the mourning period for the emperor, news of the criminal prosecution of those involved in this catastrophe quickly reached Langzhou.
Regarding the emperor's death, Chu Nanzhi was not only surprised, but also felt regretful.
Now that the situation in the government is not stable, he has left, which undoubtedly adds a lot of pressure to Lin Jinxiao.
I'm just afraid that the situation in the north will become increasingly turbulent.
But things have come to this, and we can only go all out to deal with the next situation.
But what made her even more heartbroken was the death of the dowager.
The reason why the pretty boy went north so non-stop was to reunite with his biological mother. As his daughter-in-law, he originally wanted to take care of this poor mother-in-law and perform some filial duties for him after entering Beijing.
I never thought that God would not fulfill my wishes.
Early that morning, Chu Nanzhi was sitting in the pergola built in the backyard of the Governor's Mansion, carefully reading the letter from Lin Jinxiao.
In addition to telling some things about Beijing, the content of the letter is filled with deep feelings of longing.
He looked forward to seeing the child be born as soon as possible, and naturally he also wanted to have him by his side to watch the child being born.
It's just that under the current situation, the little guy in his belly may be born one day, and he will not be allowed to enter Beijing.
And she couldn't be selfish and let the pretty boy leave Jingling City at this juncture. If the situation was messed up again, it would be more of a loss than a gain.
When he saw at the end of the letter, the pretty boy asked about the schedule of the enthronement ceremony, Chu Nan Zhi's melancholy heart couldn't help but become excited.
In the past, she had only seen the scene of the emperor and queen ascending the throne in the play, but now it was about to happen to her. She felt like she was in a dream.
"Mother honors the world."
Chu Nanzhi held the letter and thought that she would be the queen soon. No matter how she thought about it, she felt a little uncomfortable.
How should I face my old friends and courtiers I have never met before?
"I, cough cough"
After clearing her throat, Chu Nanzhi imitated the Queen's tone and said to herself: "I'm exhausted. Children, please step aside. I will leave your father to have sex in the palace tonight. You
Please review the memorials that have not been reviewed by my father."
As soon as I finished speaking, I felt that it was too inappropriate to do so.
Just after I had finished denying myself and adjusted my mood, I heard bursts of frolicking coming from the courtyard.
She looked up and saw Lin Jinhui and the Chu sisters leading the babies in hurriedly.
Seeing Chu Nanzhi, Lin Jinhui was the first to greet him and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, Langzhou City is really busy today. King Qinghe was executed by Lingchi in the capital. Except for Tang Yi from Yizhou, all the Tang family members
They were all exiled to the bitter cold land of Yanbei, which really pleased people's hearts. The people on the street were running to tell each other, and there were even scholars and scholars in Chunyue Tower who held a banquet to celebrate the downfall of the Tang family."
"It's just cheaper, Princess Qian."
Chu Nanxiang curled his lips angrily: "Sister, my brother-in-law is too kind. How could he let the three of them go? And Princess Yanjing was only imprisoned in Youting Palace."
Facing this girl's complaint, Chu Nanzhi just smiled indifferently.
Others didn't know about Youting Palace, but she knew it very well.
Going here is undoubtedly a life sentence.
As for Lin Jinqian and Chu Nanzhi, naturally they cannot break their promises.
After all, it was her letter that enabled the Queen Mother to make a wise decision at the last moment, avoiding the destruction of life in Yizhou and making Lin Jinke give up his struggle.
Logically speaking, most princes who rebel are first demoted to common people and then gradually tortured to death. However, King Qinghe was directly sentenced to Lingchi, which was probably the decision made by his ancestors.
"What else have you heard?"
Chu Nanzhi asked with interest.
Now that my body is getting heavier and heavier, it is difficult to walk around, so I can only listen to them talk about the excitement outside.
Lin Jinhui counted on her fingers: "I heard that Tang Ru and Kang Xiu were sentenced to death in the city. Together with more than ten rebel generals under the name of King Qinghe, they were executed in the capital. Princess Qinghe was also given the gift of death.
Bai Ling, who was three feet tall, hanged herself in the palace."
"Speaking of which, my brother-in-law is still kind. This King of Qinghe made everyone in the imperial court restless. My brother-in-law only killed dozens of the first criminals. When the old King of Qinghe came to the capital, he killed nearly a thousand clan members and family members.
"
Chu Nanzhu pursed his lips and complained.
"That's why he was assassinated on the way to the heaven-sacrifice ceremony."
Chu Nanzhi added secretly.
She was satisfied from the bottom of her heart with the result of the little pretty face's treatment this time.
If there is a mass killing, I am afraid that if not ten thousand people will lose their heads this time, there may be several thousand.
As a person who has been influenced by modern criminal law, she deeply hates the crimes of this era.
Stroking her bulging belly, she lowered her head and sighed secretly:
By killing less evil, it can be considered as accumulating some merit for the child who is about to be born.
The yard was busy when Tang Weiming walked in with a sad face.
Chu Nanzhi looked at him with his brows furrowed, and couldn't help but ask: "Everyone is happy today, why is Mr. Tang so unhappy? What kind of grievances have he suffered?"
"Queen, don't make fun of me. Now that Your Highness has entered the capital, my ancestors' wish has been fulfilled. I am naturally happy from the bottom of my heart."
Tang Weiming turned his head and looked in the direction outside the courtyard, and sighed angrily: "It's Princess Qian who is crying and shouting that she wants to see the queen. She's like a dead skin plaster and can't be driven away. Now she's taking her to her knees.
As the child was kneeling outside the governor's house, the servant had no choice but to come in and ask the queen for instructions."
Chu Nanzhi was very unaccustomed to hearing him calling the Queen repeatedly.
But thinking about what he was asking, he still responded: "After all, she is a princess, how can she kneel outside the governor's house and tell people to laugh at her? Please come in quickly."
Although Lin Jinhui didn't want to see the princess in her heart, she took action to kill Old Mrs. Tan and vented the resentment that had accumulated in her and her mother's hearts for many years.
Seeing the reluctant Tang Weiming, he also advised: "Then your highness, the princess, has helped my brother Jinxiao go north, so Mr. Tang should not embarrass others, so as not to spread the word, and people will say that my sister-in-law has no tolerance for others.
"
Chu Nanxiang was a little worried: "Princess Qian is very arrogant and unreasonable. Sister, you are pregnant now, so it is best not to see her, so as not to cause bad luck and cause fetal turbulence."
"How can I be so delicate?"
Chu Nanzhi saw that her two sisters hated the princess so much that she had no choice but to get up and go to greet her.
Everyone had no choice but to follow her out.
When I arrived at the gate of the mansion, I saw Lin Jinqian and a pair of children kneeling at the foot of the stone steps. They were very disheveled and looked very embarrassed. There was no trace of the arrogance and dignity of the past.
When they got closer, they found that their bodies were covered with bruises. The mother and son looked pitiful with their noses and faces swollen.
"what happened?"
Chu Nanzhi glared at Tang Weiming angrily.
"This slave doesn't know."
Tang Weiming pretended to be aggrieved and shook his head.
At this time, Lin Jinqian could not care less about calling out for injustice. He choked with sobs and mustered up the courage to kowtow to her and said, "Lin Jinqian, the daughter of the guilty minister, has met the queen and asked the queen to allow us, mother and son, to return to Beijing to collect the body of her late husband and the sins of the Tang family."
The two young children also cried heartbrokenly and begged, "Please forgive me."
