That happened in the first year of Taikang. Although the women and children of the Fang family in Yangcheng did not know the specific details, they all heard about it.
The prince had been sick since childhood and died of a sudden illness three years ago. The emperor was too sad and fell ill. At that time, King Qi happened to be in Beijing to pay homage to the queen, so the emperor declared on his sickbed that King Qi was the prince and would inherit the throne in his stead.
system.
At that time, there was a sudden uproar in the whole country.
One is the sudden death of the prince, but the death of the prince was not too sudden. Everyone knew that the prince was born with a hidden disease.
There was a dispute when he was first appointed as the crown prince, but the emperor insisted on making him the crown prince on the grounds of his promise to the late empress and the crown prince's eldest son. The crown prince had been in poor health for so many years, but he collapsed under the care of many imperial doctors.
He was safe and sound, but he was ill after all. Although his death was surprising, it was not a shock.
What really caused an uproar among the courtiers was that the prince already had an heir, but the emperor abandoned the prince's grandson and established the king of Qi.
The emperor's grandson was three years old at that time. The emperor said that the country depended on the eldest king, so he insisted on establishing a king of Qi, and announced that he would abdicate and let the king of Qi take over the throne.
A group of courtiers gathered in front of the imperial city and begged the emperor to withdraw the edict in the name of justice.
The Supreme Emperor was so angry that he fainted, and the new emperor personally comforted the courtiers. When the two sides reached a stalemate, Lu Yunqi, a member of the Jinyiwei family, accused the courtiers of disobedience and led the Jinyiwei to ask the courtiers to retreat, otherwise they would be killed with a stick.
The Zhou Dynasty had never been able to punish officials for hundreds of years. The officials did not believe that the imperial guards dared to be so bold and refused to retreat for a moment. As a result, Lu Yunqi actually ordered the attack, and the blood flowed into a river on the spot, which was too horrific to watch.
"Although the emperor later sentenced Lu Yunqi to Tianlao for his crimes, the Emperor died of illness a year later and issued a general amnesty. In his last words, Lu Yunqi was released because he said he was loyal and perseverant. He also married a princess and continued to serve in Jinyiwei against the norm. In two years, he was promoted to the imperial guard.
To serve as the governor of Beizhen and punish thousands of households." The senior executive said, his voice lowered unconsciously when he said this, "No one in the world knows what this means. The emperor does not allow royal affairs to be discussed.
"
"Yes, that Lu Qianhu is cruel. Under his control, the royal guards are all over the place and are pervasive. You must not talk nonsense." Mrs. Fang also lowered her voice, "Our Fang family can withstand the turmoil of the business, but
I can’t stand the torture of those people.”
The senior executive nodded.
"Those people will die if they get hurt, so don't mess with them." He said solemnly.
Because of their family situation, although the three young ladies of the Fang family are women, they are not raised as boudoir girls who have nothing to do but study business and work for a bank account, so they are very aware of the pros and cons of worldly affairs.
Especially as a merchant, he knows that the county magistrate will destroy the family and the prefect.
They also expressed solemn expressions, and Fang Jinxiu was still angry.
"She, Jun Zhenzhen, will die if she wants to die. She doesn't want to take our family with her," she said.
"She doesn't know the depth, so she asks about these things just for fun. I will tell her and explain the pros and cons." Mrs. Fang said after plastic surgery.
The senior executive hesitated again.
"She," he said, "still wants to ask King Huai..."
As soon as she said this, Mrs. Fang dropped the tea cup in her hand to the ground. The already nervous person was so frightened by this sudden move that she couldn't help but tremble.
"This beast!" Old Mrs. Fang scolded coldly, "It's better to die cleanly."
There was silence in the room, but Fang Jinxiu was a little puzzled. The word "Huai Wang" actually made the old lady so angry. The name "Huai Wang" was familiar, but she couldn't remember it at the moment. She couldn't help but look at Fang Yuxiu.
Fang Yuxiu understood.
"King Huai is the late grandson of the late emperor." She leaned close to Fang Jinxiu and lowered her voice in her ear. "After the first prince died of illness, the princess hanged herself to be buried with him. Their three-year-old son was named King Huai by the emperor."
Fang Jinxiu took a breath of cold air.
Talking about the emperor was already a disaster, but she was even more bold to inquire about the man who was supposed to be the emperor.
"This beast, does she want our Fang family to be beaten to death by the Jin Yiwei?" She cursed, "Does she know what she is doing?"

Miss Jun looked at the short man in front of her and sighed softly, then put down the teacup she had been holding for a long time. Her fingers were already a little stiff from the exertion.
"Miss, if you want to ask about interesting things about the capital, let's go find someone outside to ask. There are a lot of stewards at the ticket office." Liu'er said.
Miss Jun shook her head.
"No, I'm just asking casually." She said, looking at Liu'er and smiling, "What does the matter in the capital have to do with me? It's so far away."
It's so far away, so far away, and so dangerous. You can't ask easily when the time comes, and you can't ask if you don't have enough confidence.
Be patient.
I couldn't hold it back this time, and I was already going to get into some trouble.
That's right, the capital is so far away, it really has nothing to do with them, so Liu'er just ignored it.
"But miss, if we can't go to the Ning family now, then we really have to stay at the Fang family?" She said, with full of sorrow, "The curse of annihilating descendants is just a moment of anger, but three people become tigers.
If there are too many people, it becomes a curse, and this Fang family is an unlucky place."
Miss Jun laughed.
This little girl can be stupid or smart, but stupid and smart are always used in the wrong place.
"You don't want to be here yet," she said, "They don't want to keep us either."
Even if it is a leaky boat, it is not easy to get on it.
When the maid came to report that Miss Jun had returned to the inner courtyard, calm had returned to Mrs. Fang's house.
The broken tea cups and porcelain on the floor had been cleared away. The senior manager and the three ladies had gone to the study room next door to reconcile the accounts. Mrs. Fang poured a pill from a porcelain bottle and served it to Mrs. Fang.
"Mom, don't be angry. Zhen Zhen is ignorant and doesn't know the pros and cons. I'll go and have a good talk with her." She said softly.
Mrs. Fang smiled.
"I'm not angry," she said. "There's nothing to be angry about. If I were angry about everything, I would have died of anger eighteen years ago."
Eighteen years ago, Mrs. Fang Shouyi died of a sudden illness.
It was from then on that the Fang family's misfortune began.
Mrs. Fang couldn't help but tense up when she thought of these things.
"It's been more than ten years, and you're still so unbearable." Mrs. Fang saw her reaction and frowned, "How can I close my eyes with peace of mind?"
Thirteen years ago, the loving couple parted ways. Uncle Fang, Fang Nianjun, was seriously injured and died without leaving a word.
Mrs. Fang's eyes were slightly red and she lowered her head and answered yes.
"Don't think about the past, there's no point in thinking about it. Just look forward, life will have to go no matter what." Old Mrs. Fang said.
Speaking of looking forward, Mrs. Fang's expression became even sadder.
Her only son was dying soon, and she only felt that the future was dark.
A trace of sadness and anger also flashed in Old Mrs. Fang's eyes.
"There was news a few days ago that Dr. Zhang appeared in Lingnan. I have asked people to search for him. As long as Dr. Zhang is found, Chengyu will be saved," she said.
