Cannon Fodder Is King [Transmigration]

In the original plot, Zhao Yijing relied on Xiao's guilt and self-blame, splashing dirty water on Xiao's head unscrupulously while spreading rumors, and finally forced Zhao Lingwu to imprison Xiao's in the Buddhist hall.

At this moment, Meng Zezhi gave Zhao Yijing a hat of filial piety without saying a word, if it hadn't been for the late Zhao Lingwu to suppress the matter with thunder. As long as there is a little bit of news, Zhao Yijing will be buried the next day by the Zhezi of Yushi's participation.

Thanks to this incident, for the next two years, Zhao Yijing and Xing Xiaoya didn't dare to jump in front of others to brush their sense of existence.

In a blink of an eye it was the twenty-three years of Guangde.

On the one hand, half a year ago, due to his contribution to the compilation of "Song History" and "Yuan History", Meng Zezhi was promoted. Under the promotion of Emperor Guangde, he was transferred from the Imperial Academy to the Household Department and served as the fourth grade Jiangzhe Qinglisi Langzhong. .

The Jiangsu and Zhejiang Qing officials are in charge of the taxation money and grain of Jiangxi and Zhejiang provinces, which is a rich position.

On the other hand, Zhao Lingwu, who was supposed to be critically ill this year, is alive and well. The last time he fell ill was a year ago. He coughed for a few days because of a cold.

In Zhao Lingwu's original words, this is all due to the medicinal food that Xiao cooks every day.

Meng Zezhi became more confused about Xiao's thoughts.

On the fifth day of June, Emperor Guangde celebrated his fiftieth birthday and hosted a banquet for hundreds of civil and military officials in the Imperial Palace.

Contrary to Zhao Lingwu, in the plot, Emperor Guangde, who was originally physically strong and could live to 60 years old, has been in poor health in recent years, and he will get sick every three to five. The officials know that Guangde only I'm afraid it won't last a few years.

As a result, the struggle between the Second Princes and the Seventh Princes in the court to seize their prostitutes has become more intense.

But none of this has anything to do with Meng Zezhi. His household has always been firmly in the hands of Emperor Guangde. The second and seventh princes never dared to pull their teeth, and there was no idle time to win over him, a small official from the fourth rank.

Meng Zezhi also didn't need to stand in line, because he had the aura of six yuan and the first place on his head. As long as he didn't die, no matter who the next emperor was, he would be treated preferentially.

"Come on, try this new robe I made for you."

The Xiao clan took a scarlet robe from Mother Zheng and put it on by Meng Zezhi himself. The chest and back of the robe were decorated with Yunyan Supplements.

Meng Zezhi lowered his head, and Xiao Clan helped him put on a black hat.

"Really handsome." Xiao Shi straightened his hair for him, and smiled at the corners of his mouth, looking extra gentle.

Today's Xiao, wearing a big red sleeved shirt, wearing a golden embroidered cloud and a Zhai pattern, and a pearl jade crown, looks very dignified and solemn.

Meng Zezhi always felt that there was an elusive meaning in Xiao's expression, but he didn't take it to heart, because compared to this, he wanted to know how Xiao, who had been dormant for two years, would deal with the upcoming What happened at the Guangde Emperor's Birthday Banquet.

——If he remembers correctly, at noon today, Xing Xiaoya will be revealed to be the daughter of the late Empress Xiaogong Qian, and will then be named the princess Ningguo by the overjoyed Emperor Guangde.

"Madam, son, the carriage is ready, it's time to set off." Shiqin walked in and reminded.

Hearing this, she didn't know what was going on. Xiao clan turned away from her face, not letting Meng Zezhi see the tears in her eyes. She said slowly, "Let's go."

On the other side, Zhuyuyuan.

Zhao Yijing is also taking a shower and changing clothes under the service of a maid.

"Huh?" He touched the collar, always feeling not as comfortable as before.

As if he had guessed what Zhao Yijing was thinking, the maid bowed and said, "If you return to the world, the plain satin sent from the mansion some time ago has been used by the wife of the world to make the little boy's clothes, so...this one on you The robe is made of cloud satin."

Zhao Yijing's good mood disappeared in an instant.

If this were in the past, any good things in the house would definitely be close to him. But since that incident happened two years ago, Xiao's attitude towards him has been much worse than before, which saved him and Xing Xiaoya from asking for peace in their daily lives, and instead began to dig into Meng Zezhi's heart and lungs. Whatever he has, Meng Zezhi must have it too, and it will only be more than him and not less than him. Think about it and know that it will naturally take up his previous share.

Zhao Yijing didn't take this matter to heart. It's better for the Xiao family to alienate him, and he doesn't bother to talk to the Xiao family. Without the Xiao clan, he and Xing Xiaoya had a comfortable life. Anyway, he was backed by Zhao Lingwu, and Meng Zezhi couldn't shake his position in the government office.

Until a year ago, Xiao clan made a speech at Meng Zezhi's coming-of-age ceremony. After a hundred years, all the bodies around her will be left to Meng Zezhi.

Zhao Yijing changed his face on the spot.

Why?

Don't think that the Xiao family is just a deep boudoir, but her net worth is just as expensive.

As a family of farming and studying for two hundred years, the Xiao family’s background is extraordinary. As the second son of the family, Xiao’s father received 20% of the Xiao family’s property, and most of them are some isolated calligraphy and paintings. These things are worthless in the troubled times. Anything that comes out is worth one hundred gold.

This is the second most important thing. Father Xiao was the first clan to join the rebel army. During this period, he followed the Emperor Taizu to fight in the south and the north, siege the city and sink the land, and he won many spoils. It's a pity that Father Xiao died early. If he could survive to build a nation, he would definitely not be able to escape the title of an earl.

Xiao's father had only one daughter, the Xiao family. After his death, all these family properties would naturally go to the Xiao family.

Zhao Yijing originally regarded these as something in his bag, but Meng Zezhi robbed him of food. Could he not hate it?

Just thinking about it, Xing Xiaoya walked over holding a box.

"Yijing." Xing Xiaoya opened the wooden box. Inside was a white jade pendant of mutton fat. She took out the jade pendant and hung it on Zhao Yijing's body.

A flash of surprise flashed in Zhao Yijing's eyes, and he asked, "Where did this jade pendant come from?"

Xing Xiaoya, who had lost the aura of a wealthy merchant, was just an ordinary woman. Only by relying on Zhao Yijing could she survive in the courtyard of the mansion deep like the sea.

Because of her low background, she ruined her famous festival. When she first married into the Guogong Mansion, even a little maid beside Zhao Yijing could bully her.

It took her a full two years to defeat the four big maidservants beside Zhao Yijing, relying on the ability to win over men.

She hugged Zhao Yijing and said with a smile: "My father gave this to me and asked him where he got it. He didn't say anything, only that it was a dowry for me. From the first glance I saw it, I felt I am especially worthy of you. I think we have been married for so long, and I have never given you any special gifts. It just so happens that this is for you, as my gift to you."

Hearing this, Zhao Yijing's eyes flashed a touch of emotion. He kissed Xing Xiaoya's forehead, placed his left hand on Xing Xiaoya's belly, feeling the temperature above, and his expression was slightly slow.

Two years later, Xing Xiaoya was pregnant again. Thanks to the blessings of the two stable wives sent by Zhao Lingwu, Xing Xiaoya was sitting extremely stable with her baby, and the child in her belly was already five months old.

Zhao Yijing felt relieved that his wife and son were in her arms.

According to the seat arrangement of the birthday banquet, the first and second grade ministers and princes are seated in the palace hall, the envoys of the state are in the hallway, the third grade officials are on Danbiyong Road, and the fourth grade and below officials are in Danqi (palace) The outer steps and the buffer level between the steps) left and right, the inner and outer women are uniformly received by the empress.

Therefore, upon entering the palace, Meng Zezhi was separated from Xiao and others.

As soon as noon arrived, the banquet began on time. Zhonghe Shao music played. Under the service of the princes, Emperor Guangde ascended to the throne of the Palace of Emperors. The civil and military officials presented fifty gold silk woven Jin Ruyi, and the alternate officials presented the longevity picture screen...

After each procedure, the officials present had to follow the command of Hongyousiqing to come out and kowtow, get up, and return to their seats. This was repeated six or seven times, and finally it was Emperor Guangde's turn to personally attend the birthday ceremony of the ministers' tribute.

The hundred officials finally had a chance to breathe.

...

A ceremonial doctor held the gift list and read: "Zheng Guogong Qiangong presents a dragon boat for the longevity of the tooth carving group immortals."

Then there were two inner supervisors carrying a dragon boat to the temple.

Zheng Guogong immediately took his eldest son out of work and bowed to him: "Weichen wish long live the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan."

Just look at that dragon boat is divided into three layers, the upper layer has the dragon and phoenix flag, the cover, and the umbrella, the middle layer has the three stars of Fu, Lu, and Shou, and the lower layer has the eight immortals such as Han Xiangzi and He Xiangu.

"Good, good." Emperor Guangde was overjoyed: "Zheng Guogong has a heart, reward!"

The great **** Tao An immediately unfolded the imperial edict in his hand and said: "The imperial gift to Zheng Guogong is a ruyi handle, fifty taels of gold..."

This decree was written long ago.

"Long live Xie Wuhuang, long live long live."

After speaking, Zheng Guogong bowed and retreated, but his complexion changed drastically when he passed the seats of Zhao Lingwu and Zhao Yijing.

The ceremonial doctor went on to sing: "Qi Guogong presents..."

"Zheng Guogong?"

"Where did your jade pendant come from?"

With a violent shout, he interrupted the words of the Ritual Physician, and also attracted the attention of all the officials in the temple.

"What's the matter?" Emperor Guangde asked.

Zheng Guogong reacted with incoherent words: "Long live, long live..."

As he said, he ran to the front of the temple, holding the jade pendant he had snatched from Zhao Yijing in his hands, knelt down, and shouted with a trembling voice: "Look, what do you think this is?"

The moment the jade pendant came into view, Emperor Guangde's expression stagnated, and his pupils slowly tightened. He staggered to his feet, stepped off the dragon chair, and walked up to Zheng Guogong, trembling hands to take the jade pendant, and said with a choked voice, "Zi Tong, Zi Tong..."

The next moment, he came back to his senses and asked, "Where did it come from? Where did this jade pendant come from?"

Zhao Yijing immediately went out of work and knelt down: "If I return to Long live, this jade pendant was originally a dowry given to my wife by my father-in-law, and later my wife passed it on to me."

"Your father-in-law can be in the capital now." Emperor Guangde barely maintained his composure, with indescribable excitement in his heart.

"In response to your Majesty, he is in the capital."

Years ago, Xing Xiaoya took all her family to the capital.

Zhao Yijing's heartbeat was thunderous, and a bold guess was vaguely in his heart.

"Tao An, Tao An--" Emperor Guangde shouted loudly.

"Zunzhi." Tao An knew what to do without Guangde's instructions.

In the Hall of Jiaotai, the queen was accepting a group of women to worship, and suddenly an inmate walked in hurriedly: "Enjoy the queen, long live the son of Song Guogong."

In the crowd, the queen didn't ask too much, just nodded, and asked: "Where is Song Guogong's wife?"

"The minister's wife is here." Xing Xiaoya, who didn't know why, stood up immediately and bowed in response.

"Long live call you, go."

"Yes." Not knowing why, Xing Xiaoya suddenly felt a strong anxiety in her heart.

Seeing this scene, Xiao's eyebrows drooped slightly, and a sneer flashed across his mouth.

On the other side, outside the Huangji Hall.

"What's the matter, why is there no sound inside."

"Not sure."

As he was talking, the great **** Tao An hurriedly came out of the temple with people and disappeared at the gate of the palace.

Just when the officials were puzzled, Tao An returned after about half an hour, followed by a fearful middle-aged couple.

"Where did you get this jade pendant?" Emperor Guangde asked anxiously.

Father Xing was prostrate on the ground, the atmosphere did not dare to take a breath, his mind was chaotic, and he said incoherently: "If you go back to Long live, this, this jade pendant was picked up by me..."

"Picked it up?"

the more you hope, the harder you fall.

Emperor Guangde couldn't bear such a blow, his face whitened, he staggered and almost fell to the ground.

"Long live." The great **** Tao An quickly reached out to support him.

Then I heard Father Xing continue to say: "With my little daughter, just by the Yellow River, there was a female corpse lying beside her. I saw that she was still alive and couldn't bear it, so I took her back home. The piece of jade pendant is on my daughter's neck."

"Daughter?" Emperor Guangde's eyes lit up, his gaze fell on Xing Xiaoya who was on the side, and his breathing was short: "Is that her, is it her?"

"Yes."

Emperor Guangde breathed tightly, took two steps forward, hugged Xing Xiaoya, who was pretending to be at a loss after ecstasy, and burst into tears instantly: "Like, these eyes really look like..."

Xing Xiaoya is the daughter of the late Queen Xiaogong Qian.

Xing Xiaoya is Zhao Yijing's wife.

Zhao Yijing is his companion.

What a boost it must be.

The second prince’s heartbeat accelerated, and he knelt down and shouted without hesitation: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, on the Longevity Day, I found the emperor's sister, and I am so happy."

The officials under his hand also knelt down immediately: "Congratulations, long live, congratulations, long live, on Longevity Day, find the princess, and be happy."

The Seventh Prince reacted and his face sank, but he didn't dare to swipe Emperor Guangde's happiness at this juncture. He objected to something, he could only grit his teeth and knelt down.

"Good, good." Emperor Guangde was overjoyed, and personally helped Xing Xiaoya from the ground, and then with a big wave of his hand, Xing Xiaoya was named the princess of Ningguo, Xing's father was Huai'an Hou, and Xing's mother was the first-class imperial wife.

He ordered people to add a place for them in the hall.

What does it mean to fly on a branch to be a phoenix? What does it mean to be a phoenix with all suffering? This is it--

Xing Xiaoya smiled, proud, surprised, excited...

Then she thought of Xiao, a sharp look flashed in her eyes.

Also surprised by Zhao Yijing, in this way, after Zhao Lingwu a hundred years later, he doesn't have to wait for the attack to stabilize.

And Xiao...

As soon as the news came out.

In the Hall of Jiaotai, the inmate who came to report was sent away. After the sourness, the queen was happy, and the second prince could think of it, she naturally could think of it.

The second prince is her son.

As if thinking of something, she looked at Xiao with a smile: "Congratulations, Mrs. Song Guogong..."

But she didn't want to face Xiao's pale face, and her voice stopped.

Xiao's eyes stared, as if thinking of something, trembling all over his body: "Impossible, how could it..."

With that, she rolled her eyes and fainted.

"Mrs. Song Guogong?"

The scene suddenly became chaotic.

I don’t know who said: "I remember Mrs. Song Guogong seems to be at odds with Princess Ningguo!"

The scene was quiet again in an instant.

Everyone looked at Xiao Clan with a hint of pity in their eyes. It was miserable, so miserable. Once the daughter-in-law turned over, Xiao Clan's life would be difficult.

They only thought that the other party fainted because they were afraid of being retaliated by Xing Xiaoya.

Outside the Huangji Hall and outside the Huangji Hall, Xiao Deren was shocked, and with a snap, the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground, torn apart.

The ceremony continues.

"Li Wentian, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, presented a side of the inkstone, and the friend of Qing Zongbang from Dali Temple presented a set of Yixing purple clay pots..."

"Reward." Emperor Guangde was a little impatient. Rather than sitting here to appreciate these flashy gifts, he wanted to find a quiet place to talk about his father and daughter's love with Xing Xiaoya.

"Guozijian sacrificed wine Xiao Deren dedicated..."

The ceremonial doctor who sang the ceremony suddenly lost his voice.

"Huh?" Emperor Guangde looked back at him.

The ritual doctor blinked and made sure that he was not mistaken, and then said in a changed voice: "Guozijian sacrifices wine Xiao Deren, and respects the queen of filial piety and money with a piece of jade pendant."

"what?"

Xing Xiaoya was shocked.

Emperor Guangde's complexion changed.

For a while, everyone in the hall focused on Xiao Deren.

Xiao Deren reluctantly maintained his composure. The matter has reached this point and he can no longer tolerate him. It’s just that, I’m afraid I’m going to be sorry for Zhao Yijing, but I remembered that Zhao Yijing’s resignation caused his youngest daughter to be too old because of her old age. He couldn't find his husband's family. He sank his face and gritted his teeth and said: "Weichen wish you long live the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan."

Emperor Guangde returned to his senses, and only said, "Present the jade pendant."

The great **** Tao An immediately took the brocade box from the young **** and presented it to Emperor Guangde.

Emperor Guangde picked it up and looked at it, but it was a piece of jade pendant with a poor texture, and the pattern was roughly the same as that piece of mutton fat white jade pendant.

He frowned slightly: "What does Ai Qing mean?"

"Rong Chen knows well," Xiao Deren tried his best to maintain a calm tone: "Things need to be talked about in 21 years. Back then, Zen Master Huihe gave orders to my little nephew, saying that he should not marry a wife and have children before he turns 22. Otherwise, there will be a worry about life. In fact, this is only one sentence, and there is another sentence, which is too expensive."

"After hearing this, the cousin of the minister was apprehensive. How can this four-character be so expensive that ordinary people can use..."

Upon hearing this, all the officials present nodded and said yes.

"Chenzhi's cousin has gained a lot of attention because of this, and I can see how the minister's little nephew looks like," Xiao Deren said, lowering his voice a little bit: "It really doesn't look like the grandfather of the country."

Emperor Guangde reacted and asked, "Your little nephew is Zhao Yi'an, right?"

"Yes."

He subconsciously looked at Zhao Lingwu and recalled carefully, it was indeed not quite similar.

Zhao Lingwu's expression was complicated, and he didn't know what to think.

Xiao Deren continued: "So the cousin of Chenzhi came to the Weichen, and wanted to ask the Weichen to investigate one or two. It coincided with the death day of Aunt Song... Aunt Song was the birth mother in the name of Ann, and he wore it that day. This jade pendant comes to my house. This jade pendant is the relic of Aunt Song."

"The minister's wife was shocked when she saw this jade pendant. She once handed a handkerchief to the queen of filial respect and money, and was familiar with the pattern of this jade pendant... So the Weichen followed this line to check it down, and finally The truth of the matter was discovered last month."

He took a deep breath: "In Guangde three years, the Tatar side was offended, and the capital fell. Aunt Song and maid Qingqiu, who was pregnant with Liujia, were unfortunately lost during the war and gave birth to a daughter on the way to escape. She was disappointed, just because She gave birth to a daughter and could not be a solid pet for herself. Just then, she found a female corpse and a faintly crying baby boy by the Yellow River, and she was so frantically thinking about stealing a new post..."

"Later, she felt sorry for her daughter again, so she took a piece of mutton fat white jade pendant from the baby boy's neck and hung it on her daughter's neck. Treat her well...Later, Aunt Song, who returned to the Guogong Mansion, regretted it. She hated why she had only thought of stealing the beam and changing the post, instead of using the baby boy and daughter as twins. She was guilty of her daughter. People created this jade pendant."

After a long silence, Emperor Guangde said, "Are there any witnesses?"

"In return for Long Live, Aunt Song's personal maid Qingqiu is waiting at Weichen's house."

"pass--"

Emperor Guangde paused: "Xuan Zhao enters the hall with peace."

The author has something to say:

Meng Zezhi: Give tea to my mother (older) and pro (old man)!
