Chapter 147: And away

The empress was taken aback, lowered her head, and fixed a look at Li Changle: “Huh troublesome, Sheng Yuan is already married.”

Li Changle was flustered by the queen’s glance, she almost thought that the queen had seen her thoughts. Li Changle squeezed his hand? He quickly calmed down, still with a coquettish tone in his voice, and said, “Mother, I am not talking nonsense. I really think that Sister Shengyuan should marry Wang Liang. Liang.” Wang is the eldest son of the Wu family, and his sister is also the eldest daughter of the first daughter. Only when they are married are they called the door? Right. I am married to Wang Wei, and sister Sheng Yuan to Liang Wang, so Wu and Li’s family is yours. There is me in me, you in me, truly integrated.”

The empress was stern and did not speak, but her expression was obviously moved. Li Changle continued to work hard and said: “Sister Sheng Yuan and Gu Siqing have been married for two and a half years, and they have no children. It can be seen that they have a weak relationship with children and may not be suitable for marriage. It just so happened that King Liang is now in funeral. Wife, don’t have a child? If I let Sister Sheng Yuan marry Wang Liang, the two of them? The child born with the blood of the Wu family and the Li family at the same time, smart and noble, wouldn’t it be good?”

The queen felt that Li Changle was a fool at first, and Li Chaoge was married. How could it be matched to Wu Yuanxiao? But now, the queen slowly felt that this might be a way out.

She has been swaying in setting up her son and nephew, passing it on to her nephew, and passing it on to her son, and worrying that her martial family will be liquidated after her death. She tossed and turned for a long time, and wrapped herself around herself. Now, Li Changle provides her with a new solution.

Let Li Chaoge marry Wu Yuanxiao, and then pass on the throne to the children born to them, once and for all, the best of both worlds. In this way, the descendants of the dynasty have the blood of the queen and the inheritance of the martial family. The empress does not have to worry about the restoration of Li Tang after her death, she does not have to worry about the Zhou Wu dynasty she has worked so hard to establish, and she does not have to worry about whether she does not have any incense for the holidays.

The empress’s body can last a few years, and it’s not difficult to wait for her grandson to grow up. If she has the energy, she can even take the child into the palace, teach it with her, and personally carve an heir that meets her expectations.

Even as long as Li Chaoge gave birth to Wu Yuanxiao’s son, leaving the throne to Li Chaoge. Once a woman gives birth to a child, she is bound to her husband for the rest of her life. With children, Li Chaoge will not embarrass Wu Yuanxiao and the Wu family after he takes power. Even if she wants to raise a man like Li Changle, the empress can leave her alone.

As long as sitting on the throne are the children of Li Chaoge and Wu Yuanxiao.

As for Li Chaoge now? Is there a husband’s wife… Isn’t the queen at all? Take it to heart. Yes? What about husbands, husbands and wives are no bigger than kings and ministers, just let them reconcile.

Li Changle kept peeping at the empress’s face, and she knew it was done when she saw the empress’s contemplative expression. Li Changle said a few more beautiful words about how well Li Chaoge and Wu Yuanxiao fit together, and suddenly said: “But Sister Sheng Yuan now has a husband. It seems that she still has a deep relationship with the husband. If you let your sister Sheng Yuan and divorce remarry, Is she unwilling?”

The empress did not speak, and said calmly: “She and Gu Siqing are people who are aware of current affairs and don’t do superfluous things. Don’t interfere with your sister’s affairs? Please go back and don’t go out and talk nonsense.”

The empress believes that Li Chaoge is a person who can handle clearly, the illusory love and the throne waiting in the front? Which one should she choose? I want to understand. As for Gu Mingke, the queen does appreciate Gu Mingke’s character and talent, but these appreciations cannot be compared with the queen’s own interests.

After the big deal and separation, I will give Gu’s some compensation.

Li Changle suppressed his inner joy, stood up and promised. Li Changle took two steps, and suddenly heard the queen behind him say: “The time you got married is not too short. You have a degree of everything, do you understand?”

Li Changle’s heart shuddered, what does the empress mean? The queen was dissatisfied that she was hanging out with a man outside, or did she guess the real cause of Xu’s death?

Li Changle’s thoughts turned quickly. She didn’t dare to let the queen wait. The little girl saluted and asked tentatively: “Daughter doesn’t dare to disobey her mother, ask her mother to express it.”

After Li Changle finished speaking, he kept observing the empress’s face, trying to find some clues from it. But the queen didn’t? Besides, she just said indifferently: “Isn’t the third generation of the Wu family yet? Son, wouldn’t it be a joke to say it. I thought that you and King Wei were young and let you mess around, but? It’s been so many years. You should grow up too. After you go back, send away all those Yingyingyanyan from your yard. How are you husband and wife? Live a good life, and it is the business to give birth to an heir as soon as possible.”

Li Changle’s heart shuddered, and the queen really guessed it. Yes, the empress was the one who killed the harem from the Ganye Temple and then back to the previous dynasty. In her eyes, these tricks are simply pediatrics. The queen knew how Xu died, but for the children of Wu Yuanxiao and Li Chaoge, the queen was willing to pretend not to know. However, there won’t be? Next time.

The queen doesn’t like people who are clever and try to deceive her.

Li Changle didn’t dare to test the queen’s bottom line again, and came out after hurriedly saluting. She quickly walked down the long jade steps, just when she met Zhang Yanchang. Zhang Yanchang saw Li Changle and smiled lightly: “It turned out to be Princess Guangning. Princess Guangning, long time no see.”

Where does the “jiu” in his words mean? For long, then? Only? Li Changle and Zhang Yanchang? People know. However, today Li Changle didn’t even think about joking with Zhang Yanchang. She stared at each other coldly and scolded, “Get out of the way.”

Zhang Yanchang was startled, Li Changle took the opportunity to walk away. She walked briskly in the magnificent Purple Palace, wearing a fox fur, which was worth a lot of money, but Li Changle felt cold.

The empress’s guilt for her was finally exhausted, but the empress still saved face for Li Changle. Not only did she send away Li Changle’s male favorite, but Wu Yuanqing’s concubine Ji was also cleaned up. Unexpectedly, the Xu clan was right again. Only when Li Changle gave birth to a child of the martial family, could he truly gain the trust of the empress.

Li Changle felt sick when she thought of sharing the bed with Wu Yuanqing, or even having to do that kind of thing to have a baby. However, the queen had an order, and she had to obey it.

However, Li Changle held the silver hand stove, viciously and happily, and soon it was not just her nausea. Why is she forced to marry by the empress? People who look down on, but Li Chaoge can be comfortable with the people he likes?. This time, Li Changle wanted to return the crime she had suffered bit by bit to Li Chaoge.

Outside Ziwei’s palace, the heavy and dark prison door? Slowly pushed open. The attendant carried a lamp to Li Chaoge and said, “Commander, this is it.”

At this moment, someone knocked on the door in the Dali temple, interrupting Gu Mingke who was reading the dossier: “Gu Siqing, the Holy Supreme is calling.”

Li Chaoge entered the imprisonment and walked straight to the cell where Shi Yang was detained. Shi Yang’s fingers were wrapped in white yarn. Although it was not good yet, he could at least move slightly. Li Chaoge pushed open the prison door, and waited for the dust inside to fall off before he said unhurriedly: “Shi Xuguang, whose real name is Shi Yang, is from Qingyun Village, Dayuan County. Father Shi Hao, there are two sisters and one younger brother at home. Some time ago, my grandmother passed away due to injuries. When my grandmother died, you happened to be walking with relatives in the field and going home to take care of your grandmother’s funeral. After the funeral of your grandmother, you came to God to make a living. .”

Every time Li Chaoge said, Shi Yang trembled. In the end, he had completely given up. He knew that the commander in front of him had checked everything out.

Li Chaoge walked in and asked frankly, “Let’s talk about how you committed the crime.”

In the Daye Hall, Gu Mingke saluted the queen: “See I.”

The queen put away the zhezi and said: “I saw the zhezi you submitted. This year, Dali Temple has done a good job. Not only did I solve all the cases this year, but also dealt with the wrong cases in the past. With your talents, Far more than Dali? Si Qing.”

Gu Mingke’s eyes were calm, and there was no wave in his voice: “Xie Sheng uplifted his love. But the minister has no ambitions. It’s good in Dali Temple.”

“Stand taller, can you help more people.” The queen said, “Xingbu Shi Lang’s mother passed away, and he wants to return to his hometown Ding You. If I let you be the Xing Bu Shi Lang, do you have the confidence to do it?”

The woman in front of her was wearing a black uniform. Standing in the prison, her complexion became brighter and more beautiful and slender. She paced in the cell, strolling leisurely and unhurriedly.

Shi Yang’s body was unconsciously tight, he was lucky, and bowed his head and said: “No? Others, I want to avenge my grandma, so I scribbled on Zhang Mansion Gate.”

Li Chaoge sighed softly: “I still want to cover up. How many people do you guys have done? I know exactly what you have done. My patience is limited. I will give you one last chance, either. I referred several other people to the imprisonment. As for whether they would arouse Zhang Yanyi’s doubts, whether they would be embarrassed by the Zhang family in the future, then? I can’t control it.”

After struggling several times, Shi Yang finally slumped his shoulders and said in frustration: “Commander, forgive me, I will recruit anything. It was a few of us who did it.”

Starting from the death of his grandmother, Shi Yang slowly told his story. At first, Shi Yang had the desire to avenge his grandmother and entrusted his distant cousin to take him to Zhang’s mansion. Although Shi Yang had studied hard for many years and had no ambitions, he did not know **** people, nor did he know the path of officialdom. Zhang Yanyi is always surrounded by many guards, who are responsible for clothing, food, housing and transportation, and Shi Yang has no access to it. He was troubled for many days. Once when he was pruning the trees, he heard the woman chatting with the maids, and talked vividly about the story of Princess Shengyuan captured flying to the sky during the 23rd year of Yonghui. That day, the lady happened to watch the lights outside, and saw Li Chaoge riding a fire horse across the long street.

The mother-in-law spoke up and down, and the maids screamed from time to time, sometimes persuaded and obsessed with each other. Shi Yang is an outsider, and he has never seen Li Chaoge cast down the demon, so he naturally thinks that these words are exaggerated. However, her words reminded Shi Yang.

He thought of a way to avenge the Zhang family.

Shi Yang and his distant cousin agreed. After the night was quiet, Shi Yang sneaked out, and his cousin opened the side door for him. Shi Yang quickly jumped over the square wall and jumped onto the street while holding onto Jin Wu not paying attention, painted big characters at the entrance of Zhangfumen, and then slipped back silently.

The first and second nights went smoothly, and none of the roommates found out that Shi Yang went out at night. But from the third night, the situation became more complicated.

Zhang Yanyi sent someone to eavesdrop at the door. If someone approaches the door, they will definitely be heard by those inside. The cousin persuaded Shi Yang to give up, but Shi Yang was not reconciled, and the Zhang family caused their family to leave their homes. Why not be retributed? The more nervous Zhang Yanyi was, the more Shi Yang wanted to intimidate Zhang Family, and then overwhelm the ghosts with these things. Even if Zhang Yanyi could not be killed, Shi Yang would let Zhang Yanyi taste the fright.

On the third night, Shi Yang decided to try his luck. Yinshi was the most sleepy. He guessed that the door was asleep, so he sneaked out to write a letter. He was lucky? He was not found out all night, and he returned to the mansion without incident.

Didn’t Gu Mingke hear what the queen said? He immediately stated that Dali Siqing and the Xingbu ministerial officer were of similar grades, but their status was vastly different. The Tang dynasty was a mass system. Although there was no clear prime ministerial position, senior officials from the three provinces and six ministries were all qualified to discuss national affairs and were veritable prime ministers. The Minister of Criminal Justice is the deputy chief of the Criminal Ministry, and he is regarded as one of the prime ministers.

Regardless of the angle, from Dali? Si Qing was promoted as the minister of criminal ministry, Gu Mingke was promoted. It is undoubtedly a great grace to enter the ranks of the fair at his age.

But Gu Mingke was not happy. He felt that the queen gave him a promotion, with other conditions.

Gu Mingke asked: “I don’t know what the queen’s ministers do?”

Li Chaoge raised his eyebrows and asked: “Are you so lucky? You haven’t been found out for three days?”

Shi Yang sighed: “Where is there? Forever good? Luck. In fact, I was seen by people on the third day.”

The night watchman who had never known him took the initiative to come to the door? and told Shi Yang that he had seen everything. Shi Yang was taken aback, thinking that the night watcher wanted to expose him, but unexpectedly, the night watcher offered to cooperate.

The night patrol also said that Shi Yang’s luck in this way is very dangerous, and sooner or later he will fall into the hands of Zhang Mansion. The night watchman thought of a way to join the kitchen? Help.

Only then did Shi Yang realize that it was not just him, but the night watchman, Aunt Gongsun, and the Zhang family had so many enemies.

The night patrol is from Luoyang. For many years, he has relied on small books to make a living. When he is old, he will give the stall to his son and daughter-in-law, and bring his grandchildren at home, which is considered safe and happy. But it was Zhang Jiaqiang who demolished their house, dragging the money and not giving it. The night-watching family has no source of livelihood, and the daughter-in-law washes her face with tears every day, and the grandson cries loudly when hungry. Night watchers have no choice but to make a living out of a large number of years, looking for places to receive people everywhere. There is no need to earn much, as long as he can solve his food and lodging and save a ration for his son, the night watcher will be satisfied.

But? The night watchman is too old to do physical work and moves slowly, and the shop outside doesn’t hire him at all. The night watchman can only do the work of the night watch. The young man is too cold and tired and refuses to do it. Then he will do it.

When the night watchman was patrolling, he found that Shi Yang had secretly left the house. The night watchman stood in the corner and quickly understood what Shi Yang was doing.

Night watchers are small people in the market, and they have given up their meaningless self-esteem a long time ago. Dignity does not allow their family to eat, as long as Zhang Mansion gives the money, the night watchman is willing to nod and bow to Zhang Family. But yes, even the grass on the ground is bloody.

Aunt Gongsun and the night watchman are in similar conditions. Aunt Gongsun originally opened a soup and cake restaurant in the market, but was taken over by the Zhang family. Zhang Yanyi heard that Aunt Gongsun had a good skill in making soup cakes, so she even let Aunt Gongsun enter the mansion to serve them. Aunt Gongsun had been grieving for a long time, and after the night watchers matched the bridge, they hit it off.

On the fourth night, Aunt Gongsun deliberately cooked more pastry and added soothing ingredients. When the kitchen delivered refreshing tea to the door, the grandmother Gongsun asked the chef to bring her pastry together. The night watchman can wander around at night, and no one would doubt him. When the night watchman saw the door dozing off, he informed Shi Yang and went out from the side door to write a letter.

The same is true on the fifth night. In fact, on the third day, Shi Yang’s roommate discovered that Shi Yang had gone out at night, but the same room was also a child of a peasant family. Can you understand Shi Yang’s hatred, but he didn’t? He still pretended to sleep every night. .

On the sixth night, Zhang Yanyi sent four people to work in two or two shifts. This time, Aunt Gongsun’s medicine didn’t work, so the night watcher discussed with Shi Yang, and waited for the night watcher to replace the shift when the night was coldest, and then called the birds. Once the guards were gone, the night watcher issued a signal, and Shi Yang immediately went to the door to paint.

Shi Yang is very fluent in speaking, and can match the details. Li Chaoge asked, “What about the seventh night?”

The queen was not surprised to see Gu Mingke guessing it. If he can’t guess anything, then? The queen is the wrong person. The queen said: “Back then, Chaoge broke into the Pei Mansion and robbed you in order to avoid going to Tubo to make peace with you. I know what agreement you two? Most of them have made in private, or else it won’t happen? There are none? Children. Nowadays. The Tubo crisis is over. You should have enough trouble after two years. You and Li Chaoge will get together and leave, and each of you will find your true love.”

When Gu Mingke heard the words “He Li”, his expression was calm and indifferent. He paused and asked, “How does the sage know that she is not my true love?”

“Your marriage contract back then was a trifle. Do you really think I and Emperor Xian can’t tell? It’s just that for the sake of the royal face, neither I nor Emperor Xian said anything. Who would like to grab someone from him?”

“If it weren’t for me, how could she force success?” Gu Mingke raised his hand and bowed gently to the empress, “I’m so inexperienced, I can’t be a servant of the criminal ministry. Please take my life back from the sage.”

The queen’s eyes narrowed slightly, and the aura around her body gradually condensed: “Do you want to disobey the emperor’s order?”

“Forgive me.” Gu Mingke said, “I have no brothers and no younger brothers, and my relatives died early. Now I am alone, and what I want is nothing more than my heart. The minister thanked the Queen Bole for allowing me to enter the law test and protect me in Dali. Si Anxin solves the case. But the gentleman does what he does and does not do. She is my wife. Is there any reason to abandon his wife for the sake of future?”

Gu Mingke would refuse, and the queen was not surprised. She laughed and asked: “You don’t want to, but? How did you know that Li Chaoge didn’t want to?”

Shi Yang sighed, and said, “Don’t hide the command, we don’t know why the word appeared on the seventh day. Then, we really didn’t find a chance overnight, so we had to give up, and later they said that the door was painted on again. I am also surprised when the big characters are written.”

You can play tricks in the first six nights, but on the seventh night, there are ten people guarding the gate, two inside and two outside, with non-stop shifts. The gate of Zhang Mansion is surrounded by iron buckets. . He doesn’t know why? The outside is the same.

Li Chaoge raised his eyebrows: “So? That is to say, you didn’t write the characters for the seventh day?”

Shi Yang shook his head: “No.”

What about Shi Yang? I have recruited so many, there is no need to lie in this kind of place. Li Chaoge nodded and smiled softly.

Then “Shifangmen” was opened, but the characters weren’t written by Shi Yang, so interesting.

Li Chaoge came out of the cell, and the attendant followed her, and asked, “Commander, what is going on in the seventh night? Could it be Shi Yang who is lying?”

Li Chaoge whispered: “He has recognized it for six days, one more day and one less day? Is there a difference? Mostly, he really didn’t write it.”

The attendant scratched his head, quite inconceivable: “So? Who the **** is it? Then? There are so many pedestrians? See, I can’t? Damn it.”

Didn’t Li Chaoge? Answer, but in his heart secretly said, how can’t it? The lie is decent and bright, while the truth is often hideous.

There will be no witnesses in the public, but what if all the witnesses lied? It’s no secret that the gate of Zhang’s Mansion was written by someone. After Fangshi opened the door, passers-by saw that there was no word on the door, and it was okay to write it quietly while the people in Zhang Mansion didn’t pay attention.

Can only blame? Blame the Zhang family is so unpopular, no neighbors in the neighborhood are willing to remind them. The people who lived in the gate of the square insisted that they had not heard any unusual movement. The pedestrians who passed by that day covered each other, saying that they had not seen anyone writing. The masses commit crimes and collective perjury, and the Zhang family can’t find the real culprit no matter how many people are asked.

When Li Chaoge walked out of the imprisonment, the sunlight outside immediately shone on his body, and the stinging person turned white in front of his eyes. There was a person waiting at the gate of the prison. Seeing Li Chaoge coming out, he quickly stepped forward: “Commander, there is a conversation in the palace.”

Li Chaoge stretched out his hand? Blocked up? After his eyes adjusted to the light, he asked, “What’s the matter?”

“The queen announced the order to go over, but the person who gave the message didn’t say anything.”

Li Chaoge entered the palace without saying anything. When she walked into the Daye Hall, she found that the atmosphere in the palace was not very good. Li Chaoge felt strange, and raised his hand to salute the empress: “Long live the saint. Saint, are you looking for me?”

The queen didn’t call her up immediately as usual, but sat behind the table and looked at her deeply. Li Chaoge gradually wondered? Come on, who was it just now? Why did the queen look so strange in her eyes?

Before Li Chaoge came up with a reason, a thunder suddenly exploded from above. The queen’s voice was very flat, saying: “Gu Mingke has agreed to make peace with you.”

Li Chaoge’s eyes widened in shock, and he quickly reacted, categorically saying: “He won’t.”

“Gu Mingke just left.” The empress said unhurriedly, “Men are in official career and marriage, you don’t think they will choose marriage, right?”

Li Chaoge was taken aback by He Li’s words just now, and now she has stabilized in her heart, and said very calmly: “Other men won’t, but Gu Mingke is different.”

“Why is it different?” The queen asked, “What do you really think he is? A saint of fireworks? The prosperity of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. He has a family and a career. Consider his future. He has agreed.”

Li Chaoge didn’t move, but it was between the eyebrows? He was very sure: “I dare not say that I know him completely, but the one I know? Gu Mingke is fair and strict, selfless and unwilling, he won’t.”

Seeing that she believed in Gu Mingke so much, the empress sighed with regret or disappointment, and said, “Even if you believe he won’t. What about you?”

“Starting from Zigui Palace? You started planning and working hard, nothing more than for the throne. Now I give you a choice to reconcile with Gu Mingke and marry Wu Yuanxiao. As long as you give birth to children, regardless of male or female, the throne will be It can be left to you. Another option, you guard your love and a man who will betray you sooner or later, but you can only be a princess in your life.”
