The Cannon Fodder and Villain’s Happy Ending

Gu Jing's face was hot, and he was stabbed in the wound once again, still by Qin Xin, the woman he once loved and hates most.

"Snapped!"

He slapped Qin Xin in the face again. Qin Xin was beaten so willingly, and simply bite and scratched with Gu Jingsi.

The maids and maids around were all at a loss and looked at each other.

Ever since, their eyes turned to Tang Fengchun who was sitting on an imperial chair.

Tang Fengchun sat beside him in silence, watching the two fight into a ball, sipping warm tea calmly, neither persuading nor pulling.

For Tang Fengchun, this result is really good.

She took another sip of tea leisurely. Even if she was locked up in the Second Prince's Palace for a lifetime, she would never be hungry here. She was just a weak woman. Wang Yu and her father asked her to come to the capital, and she could not resist; Gu Xi and Duan Rou asked her to marry the second prince, and she could not resist either.

All she can do is just follow the trend.

Thinking, Tang Fengchun looked at Gu Jing and Qin Xin with a sneer in his eyes, watching them scratching each other’s faces like good market shrews, tearing each other’s clothes, punching and kicking, where there was a little prince. Demeanor with the lady!

The two of them are different from her. They had a choice, but they got themselves into this situation!

Tang Fengchun glanced across Qin Xin's abdomen, her eyes flickering.

After a while, she raised her eyes to look at Qin Jiao who had already walked away outside the Huage window, and she couldn't help but feel a little envious in her heart.

She envied Qin Jiu and Fang Hanjun.

Even if there will be thorns in their future lives, they must be determined to overcome them.

She had also thought that if she came to the capital last year, she would be cruel and say everything to Qin Jiu or the empress, would her ending be different?

However, this was only a momentary thought, and she knew that it was impossible for her to do so.

After all, her surname is Tang, and she has a mother and younger siblings in Yuzhou!

Outside Qin Jiu walked into a pavilion by the pond and leisurely watched the fish while waiting for Gu Zezhi.

Jin Yiwei also intimately brought her a pot of tea and two plates of snacks. Qin Jiao drank one mouthful after another. After only half a cup, Gu Zezhi came over unhurriedly.

Qin Jiu cheerfully greeted him for tea, and then shared gossip with him: "Do you know who I saw just now?"

Gu Zezhi asked very cooperatively: "Who?"

"Gu Jing and Qin Xin," Qin Jiu deliberately lowered his voice and whispered to him, "the two of them actually started fighting, tusk!"

Qin Jiu looked back at the wing room after hearing Gu Jing and Qin Xin's scolding, and she almost thought she was watching a family ethics drama!

Qin Jiu also found it strange that the advancing and retreating pair of immortal couples in the novel had reached this point. Maybe it was because they didn't have enough trials in the novel, or the protagonist's aura was too strong at that time?

Qin Jiao played with the luo tied to his waist and asked, "Will they two be under house arrest for a lifetime?"

She said they were referring to Gu Jing and Qin Xin of course.

Gu Zezhi nodded and said: "Yes, Gu Jing will be imprisoned for a lifetime. He has no children anymore, and it will be enough when he dies."

Therefore, there is no need to consider whether this crime committed by Gu Jing will cause harm to three generations.

Qin Jiao just asked casually, what was Gu Jing's end, in fact, it had nothing to do with her.

It was the original owner, and the person who could not let her go for a long time was Qin Xin, not Gu Jing.

Gu Zezhi squeezed her little hand and asked, "Would you like to go shopping again?"

Qin Jiao: "..."

Although she hasn't strolled here for long, she already feels that there is nothing to go shopping here, and it's not as good as the county palace.

She felt that she had been fooled by Gu Zezhi, and she thought it was fun for Jin Yiwei to copy the house, but it turned out to be very boring.

"Go ahead." Qin Jiao waved his hand virtuously.

Seeing him leaving behind, she couldn't help but smile with her mouth bent.

Well, it's boring to say that it's boring, but it's actually quite interesting to say it's interesting, so she should accompany him to work.

Qin Jiao was idle, so she just fed the fish with snacks, thinking that she could also raise a pond of lotus and fish in her yard. When she didn’t want to go out in the summer, she could also take advantage of the pond to enjoy the coolness. Enjoy the flowers and feed the fish.

By the time they came out of the Second Prince's Mansion, it was already an hour later, and the sky was completely dark. Naturally, there were no onlookers outside the mansion, and the whole area was empty and looked quite Liao Ji.

With a "bang", the vermilion lacquer door of the Prince's Mansion was heavily closed.

There were five or six carriages parked outside the house, and the carriages were filled with boxes, all of which were found by Jin Yiwei from the second prince’s mansion today.

Jin Yiwei personally affixed two seals to the gate. Next, unless the second prince dies, the gate will not be opened again.

The daily needs of the Second Prince's Mansion will also be sent in from the side door by a special person, and even the subordinates of the Second Prince's Mansion are not allowed to step out of this Prince's Mansion.

The people in this mansion can only be trapped in this small world, like a bird in a cage.

This also means that the second prince can no longer stand up.

Not only Qin Jiu, everyone in the entire capital was watching all this.

First, Chengen Gongliu Renxun died suddenly, then Chengen Gong’s mansion was seized, seized as a nobleman, and demoted as a commoner, and then the second prince Gu Jing was also slapped with wings, and the charge was the same as Liu Renxun’s collusion with King Yu.

Some courtiers who had nothing to do with themselves sighed and felt that the second prince really couldn’t think about it and violated the emperor’s greatest taboo; the courtiers of the second princeling party shivered and had trouble sleeping and eating. Then, the officials ordered to remove these officials. All were seized to investigate and prosecute. Anyone involved in the case of colluding with King Yu will be tried by the three divisions and convicted according to Daqi Law.

The emperor had the intention to rectify the court, but in just a few days, the court was cleared again, and almost everyone was in danger.

For the ordinary people in the capital, there is another topic after dinner, which has been lively for several days.

However, Empress Dowager Liu fell ill, and Empress Wei stayed at the bedside of the Queen Mother every day. After a few days, she just recovered.

But on the 14th day of the first lunar month, when Qin Jiu went to Shouning Palace to see Queen Mother Liu, he found that the Queen Mother looked older. Obviously, Liu Renxun's incident hit her a lot.

Seeing Qin Jiu's arrival, Queen Mother Liu's mood improved, and her face was a little bit more joyful. After a while, she ordered the maid to prepare snacks for Qin Jiu, and then she gave her the tribute material she had just paid, saying that this purple woven gold The material is still good-looking for a young wife like her.

Queen Wei said jokingly that the Queen Mother had good eyes.

The atmosphere in the Shouning Palace has also become brisk, up and down, only to wait for Qin Jiu to enter the palace every day.

Empress Dowager Liu took Qin Jiu's hand in Taoism: "Xiao Jiu, when do you and Ze Zhi can decide when to leave for Xijiang?"

Qin Jiu nodded and said: "It's set. Zezhi said that it has been cold recently, and he will wait until spring starts in early February."

"Good February, the road travels thousands of miles, and the weather is getting warmer in February, so it is suitable for hurrying. This time it should be about three months later. Before the summer, your young couple can come back." Queen Mother Liu gave The young couple counted the time, "There is a lot of wind and sand in Xijiang, and the summer is hot. It's okay for you two to go early."

Whenever Queen Mother Liu said anything, Qin Jiao agreed and coaxed the old man with a smile: "Empress Mother, when I come back, I will bring you the specialty products over there."

The Queen Mother Liu was amused and continued to say good.

The two were talking, and a servant came in and said: "The empress dowager, the imperial concubine is here."

In this imperial palace, there is only one concubine Liu Guifei.

The atmosphere was suddenly cold.

Queen Mother Liu: "..."

Empress Dowager Liu's lips narrowed and said lightly: "No."

In the past few days, Concubine Liu has come to Shouning Palace every day to beg to see the Queen Mother. She swears not to give up if she fails to achieve her goal. But Queen Mother Liu doesn’t want to see her at all. Hearing the word "concubine", she thinks of Gu Jing. Unhappy for a while.

If it weren't for Gu Jing, why did Liu Renxun suddenly die, and why did the Liu family fall to where it is now!

Empress Dowager Liu turned to face Empress Wei and said, "Queen, if the imperial concubine doesn't understand the rules, she can be punished as she should be."

This sentence made Mother Feng and other cronies have subtle expressions. They exchanged their eyes and realized that Concubine Liu Gui was completely bored by the Queen Mother. If it had been a year ago, who would have thought it would develop to this situation. of.

Empress Liu looked at Empress Wei with a loving expression, and she felt a little guilty for the Queen in her heart.

In the past, she had indeed made the queen wronged.

Because Concubine Liu Gui is her own niece and has a second prince, Empress Dowager Liu has been guarding this niece all these years. For this reason, Queen Wei was also angry with Concubine Liu.

She also knows that she is partial to Concubine Liu, but feels that this person's heart is partial. It is natural that she is partial to Concubine Liu.

After experiencing this incident, Empress Dowager Liu felt quite enlightened.

It was she who was thinking about it before.

A concubine is a concubine, and a concubine is a concubine. There is a difference between a concubine and a concubine.

Empress Wei nodded to Empress Dowager Liu, "The queen said yes," and then instructed the little Kouzi: "Send the imperial concubine Liu Clan as a concubine, and you can't leave Zhongcui Palace without an edict."

Xiao Kouzi quickly took the order and went out to give an oral order.

Looking at the back of Xiao Kouzi leaving, Mother Feng and others' expressions became more complicated, and they sighed: Guifei Liu, no, Liu Yu and the second prince were born to push the Queen Mother to the Queen's side!

No one mentioned Liu Bian again, for fear that it would ruin the Queen Mother's mood.

In any case, Liu Yu is the queen mother's niece after all, and the blood relationship can be put down in a few words. Mother Feng looked at Empress Dowager Liu's frowning brows, her heart became more solemn.

Empress Dowager Liu slowly drank tea, feeling mixed.

She has been ill recently, and she thinks a lot, especially the past things flashing in her mind over and over again. Sometimes she thinks about the hardships of the first emperor, and more often she thinks about the eleven years since the emperor became king. What happened.

She also reflected on herself.

Over the years, in order to help the Liu family, she was dazed, forgetting the bitterness she and the emperor had suffered on the **** of the Fang family when the first emperor was there.

Don't do to others what you don't want, but instead she puts the suffering on the queen.

And Qin Xin...

Thinking of Qin Xin, Liu Tai's hands behind the teacup made a slight effort, and her old and muddy eyes were dull.

Empress Wei was opposed to marrying Qin Xin to Gu Jing. It was because of Gu Jing and Liu's begging and persuading that she was persuaded and made the decision to grant marriage.

What she was thinking at the time was that this marriage could kill two birds with one stone.

For one thing, the beauty of an adult is just like Gu Jing intended;

Secondly, Qin Xin became the second prince and concubine, which is also a good thing for Empress Wei. If Gu Jing is enthroned, Qin Xin is the queen’s niece and Gu Ju’s cousin. With her dealings, she will surely be able to support the Queen in the future, and so can Gu Ju Live the life of a rich and idle king.

Unexpectedly, this marriage that she once thought was a good match between Jin Yu and Jade would come to the point where it is now. This Qin Xin is not only a fake, but also has a bad character, and is not a good wife at all.

Obviously the former Gu Jing was such a well-behaved and gentle child...

Empress Dowager Liu felt sore in her eyes, she swallowed the tea in her mouth, and she also swallowed the bitterness and pain in her abdomen.

That's it, she is really old, always thinking back to the past, and even imagining some meaningless assumptions.

Empress Dowager Liu put down the tea cup and said: "Queen, from now on, the Ai family will enjoy the blessing."

What she meant was that she would no longer intervene in the prince, harem concubine, and prince princess.

Seeing that Queen Mother Liu couldn't hide her exhaustion, Queen Wei coaxed her to happily said: "Mother, this can't be done!"

"The third prince is about to pick the concubine, and the queen has to help her."

Empress Dowager Liu was amused and waved her hand, "You have chosen a good person, and just come over to Ai's family and kowtow."

Queen Wei responded with a smile.

She is a wise person, and Jomo can also see that the Queen Mother Liu was born with a knot in the marriage between Gu Jing and Qin Xinci, and she couldn't help but feel an unspeakable complexity.

Back then, she and her sister had a verbal joking saying that she wanted her niece to marry her eldest son, but the eldest son disappeared before the emperor was enthroned and the Qin family was rehabilitated. Naturally, this marriage will not stop.

After Qin Xin was taken back to the capital, Empress Wei kept taking care of her younger sister.

She had to admit that she had also moved the idea of ​​marrying her niece to Gu Jing. After all, the former Gu Jing looked mild-tempered and looked at him as a good son-in-law. She is a queen, and if her niece can marry Gu Jing, she can also take care of one or two.

But later, Gu Jing watched but it became more and more unsatisfactory, and she was always unable to get close to Qin Xin, and this matter was simply suppressed, and she did not talk to the emperor again.

Until one day, Empress Dowager Liu made a move first.

Sometimes, Queen Wei would also wonder if the person who was picked up 11 years ago was not Qin Xin, but Qin Jiao, would it be a completely different scene...

Empress Wei subconsciously looked at Qin Jiu who was sitting next to Empress Liu, Qin Jiu smiled sweetly, and suddenly rushed away from the queen's heart.

Yeah, what does she want to do in all these mess.

As long as the niece is fine now. Queen Wei smiled relievedly.

When the emperor came in, what he saw was this harmonious scene, and his steps became brisk.

With the arrival of the emperor, the atmosphere of Shouning Palace became more lively.

After the emperor solemnly discussed with Queen Mother Liu. On the afternoon of the same day, he made a formal decree and appointed the sixth prince Gu Yu as the prince. This time, no one from the court objected.

Therefore, the emperor ordered the Qintian Supervisor to choose a good day to tell the heaven and earth to worship the Taimiao, and ordered the Ministry of Rites to prepare the prince canonization ceremony.

It was about the canonization of the prince. The Qin Tianjian moved extremely fast. He chose three auspicious days the next day. The emperor chose the nearest day, February 15.

For the people in the capital, this is also a great happy event. The people are also beaming. Some teahouses and restaurants have set off firecrackers for several days. The streets and alleys are discussing the emperor's appointment as a prince. The storms caused by the collusion with King Yu were completely suppressed.

Subsequently, the emperor issued another decree to send Qin Xin to Yuzhou.

The emperor’s imperial decree was written extremely vigorously, meaning that the Qin family was pregnant with the flesh and blood of the third son of the king of Yu, Gu Xi, and he should be sent back to Yuzhou to let the king of Yu take care of his grandson.

The imperial decree was straightforward, without the slightest concealment, which immediately caused an uproar in the capital.

Everyone knows the name of the Qin family, the concubine of the two princes, and the fragrant stories about the concubine and the second prince have been circulated in Beijing, and they are still in their ears.

Qin is the concubine of the second prince.

But what he was carrying was actually the child of Wang Yu's son!

Anyone who is not a fool can see the dangerous and malicious pictures of King Yu.

The common people and the literati Mo Shi had the ambition to criticize the king Yu and his son, and they were filled with righteous indignation:

"This King Yu is simply plotting bad luck!"

"That's right, he clearly wants to usurp the throne without knowing the ghost, he is really ambitious, and his heart is not dead!"

"Yes, yes. Someone from the Yue family of my aunt's nephew is working in Jingzhao Mansion. I heard that the king of Yu also gave the court to the court. It must be said that the official detained the third son of the king of Yu."

"It's ridiculous, it's really ridiculous. The officials have sent the Qin clan over. It can be seen that his kindness, how can he detain the third son of Wang Yu!"

"King Yu, this is a thief calling to catch a thief!"

"Is there anything to say to the rebels? Whether the king of Yu let the concubine die in a suspended animation, or that his son was detained by the official, this is all to find an excuse to force the palace to rebel!"

"..."

The civilians became more and more indignant. They felt that King Yu was not only shameless, but also wanting to add to the crime. Since King Yu wanted to force the palace, sooner or later, he would send troops. Instead of sitting and waiting for death, it was better to take the initiative to attack. Called for the court to crusade against the rebel King Yu, and also a flourishing world.

These voices naturally reached the ears of the courtiers, and the elders and important courtiers who witnessed the incident at the Imperial Study Room that day were a little confused.

At the beginning, the emperor didn't give a password to the Qin clan's guilt. They all thought that the emperor was furious, so they forgot. This fact was of great importance, and none of the elders dared to tell the public.

As a result, it turned out that the emperor didn't even want to seal it.

In this regard, when several cabinet elders gathered to discuss official affairs, they inevitably also quietly discussed a few words.

There has not been such a scandal in the Daqi Dynasty for more than a hundred years! Not only did the emperor make no secrets, he even made a lot of noise in the world, which made them a little bit disagree.

Faced with these private discussions, Li Shoufu slowly took his long beard and said, "Is this face important or the country important? This battle between the court and Yuzhou is probably imperative."

The king of Yu had hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Yuzhou, with both soldiers and money, and the court was not sure of victory. Therefore, from Fang Taifei’s “feigned death” to Qin’s pregnancy, the emperor should have taken this series of things with the intention to step forward. Step by step arouse the righteous indignation of the people, so that the king of Yu can be beaten into a chaotic courtier, so that the whole country can be one mind.

In the war, it is important that the division is famous, in order to mobilize the morale of the soldiers and win the support of the people, so as to achieve the effect of the unity of all people. Therefore, the king of Yu wanted to turn back and waited for so long. Finally, he waited until he felt that the time was ripe and he had to fight. The name of the concubine's "unjust death" was used as an excuse for the northern expedition on the side of Qingjun.

Since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people have won the world. This is an unchanging truth throughout the ages.

The room fell into silence for a while.

Before long, Li Shoufu's long sigh interrupted the silence in the room.

"The emperor's methods have become more sophisticated." Li Shoufu sighed.

This is also the voice of several other old patrons.

As the emperor's dragon body became healthy, it seemed that the emperor's resolute and decisive actions became more and more.

Knowing what the emperor meant, the elders in the cabinet also knew what to do. All of them fanned the flames in the court, provoking the dissatisfaction of the civil and military officials against the king of Yu.

The trouble was so big that the patriarchs and elders of the Qin family had naturally heard of them. They were afraid and secretly rejoiced: Fortunately, they heard Qin Zening’s words and removed Qin Xin as soon as possible. With Qin Xin's intention to confuse the royal blood, all of them in the Qin family will be implicated by her.

It is true that a mother must have a daughter. Qin Xin's biological mother not only exchanged other people's daughters, but also contaminated her hands with human lives. It's no wonder that such a shameless daughter was born!

The patriarch only hated that he didn't force Qin Xin to change back to Li Xin, and he saved the Qin family from being called "Qin Clan" by others now.

In any case, their Qin family did not hurt their muscles and bones this time.

In these hustle and bustle, the days passed day by day. After ten days, not only there was no sign of calming down, but it also intensified. It was even composed by storytellers in teahouses and restaurants, and the theater troupes arranged it. play.

When Qin Zhuo went out to eat tea, he also heard a lot, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: She didn't believe that these things had nothing to do with Gu Zezhi!

These days, Qin Jiu has packed her luggage. On the first day of February, she and Gu Zezhi left Beijing.

They didn’t bring many people or anything on this trip. There were only five carriages including the carriage Qin Jiu was riding in. Early that morning, Qin Zening and Qin Zeyu both came to send them to the city. Wuliting outside.

Qin Zeyu looked at Qin Jiao in the carriage reluctantly. He used to think that his brother-in-law was good, but now he looked at Gu Zezhi again, but his eyes were filled with dissatisfaction. Why is my brother-in-law's home so far away in Xijiang!

Qin Jiu sternly trained his younger brother: "Ayu, in the past few months when I am away, don't be lazy, read books, and practice martial arts. When your brother-in-law and I come back, you need to check your homework."

A word dispelled Qin Zeyu's parting melancholy.

He patted his chest and said, "Sister, I am studying and practicing martial arts very hard now. If you don't believe me, please ask your husband and Master Yue."

"In this big capital city, there are not many people like me who are capable of literary and military skills... just a little bit worse than my brother-in-law!"

Qin Zeyu boasted without shame.

Qin Jiu looked at the bear child with a word, and felt that self-confidence is a good thing, but this child has no self-knowledge at all. How can blind self-confidence be born? The gap between him and Gu Zezhi is more than "so little"!

Qin Zening directly rewarded Qin Zeyu with a chestnut, "Xiao Jiu, don't worry about him, I am looking at him!"

Gu Zezhi looked at the three brothers and sisters, put his fists on his lips, chuckled, and then said: "Ayu, if your sister returns to the capital and your homework can pass the test, I will give you a Persian Bend. Knife."

"Brother-in-law, you are so kind!" Qin Zeyu's eyes were bright like a pair of gems, and he was extremely excited.

Brother-in-law is better. Compared with his brother and sister, brother-in-law is the one who kisses him! !

Qin Zeyu slapped Gu Zezhi again and assured him that he was so affectionate that he wanted to go with Gu Zezhi and Qin Jiu.

Qin Jiu couldn't stand it anymore, thinking that if this bear boy was sold by Gu Zezhi in the future, he would definitely count the money back.

She exchanged a tacit look with Qin Zening.

Qin Zening cleared his throat and said, "Xiao Jiu, Ayu and I will send you here. You and Zezhi will leave early to avoid missing the station."

Qin Zeyu almost said, it's better for him to take another ride, and swallowed back when his brother glared at him.

Qin Jiao was a bit funny, and waved goodbye to the brothers, "Ayu, your brother-in-law and I will be back soon."

Qin Zening and Qin Zeyu stayed next to Wuliting to watch Gu Zezhi and Qin Jiu's carriage drift away along the official road.

From the capital to Xijiang, it is more than 3,000 miles away. Generally speaking, caravans and other things have to go for a month. Gu Zezhisheng was afraid that Qin Jiao was tired, and did not deliberately hurry, just like traveling all the way to the mountains. Like playing in the water, very leisurely.

When Gu Zezhi came to the capital from West Xinjiang two years ago, he did not go this way. At that time, in order to avoid the killers of Gu Chenzhi’s faction, he deliberately circled from Yuzhou. This time, there is no need. He is from Jin State go.

When they walked out of Jinzhou, Qin Xin also walked out of Jinzhou at about the same time, but she was sent south to Suhe City, Yuzhou.
