Chapter 250

On the 16th day of the first lunar month, the first great court meeting of the new year.

On this day, the Emperor gave two important decrees.

The first edict was to punish the three families of the Chen family. Chen's son-in-law, as the first criminal, was killed and abandoned.

In the second edict, Princess Huyang was reduced from Princess Jue to princess, and she was punished for three years.

When two decrees were issued, all officials were silent.

Chen's son-in-law made coins privately and robbed tombs. The Chen family are all accomplices. It is too harsh to punish the three clans.

Moreover, Chen's son-in-law is still the son-in-law of the emperor. He has to cut his back and abandon the city for his son-in-law. Does he have to split up his body to treat others?

All officials were shocked.

What is more shocking is that Princess Huyang is the son of heaven's daughter, but she has not escaped punishment.

The prince should be demoted, his salary should be punished, and the emperor's stinginess should be used to confer the royal family. Unless the new emperor ascends the throne, the title of Princess Huyang will never return to the princess rank when the emperor is alive.

The two decrees made the officials afraid.

The emperor is more and more strict, more and more irritable.

Moreover, the emperor can't wait to be beheaded after autumn.

On the third day, the eastern suburb food market was full of people.

On this day, a hundred members of the Chen family will be beheaded here.

Many people came to the eastern suburb food market in disguise.

Gu Jiu didn't go anywhere.

The weather was seldom warm and the sun came out.

She sat at her desk and wrote down an essay about her mood.

The cold wind, blowing in from the window, blowing the pages, also blowing away the melancholy mood between Gu Jiu's eyebrows.

Xiaocui came back from the outside, pale.

Huangmen Baizhong said: "I told you not to look, you still look."

Xiaocui waves her hand and is impatient to talk to Bai Zhong.

Gu Jiu stopped writing and asked, "what's the matter? You and Bai Zhong go out together and have a good time? "

Xiaocui looked ugly. "Madam, the Chen family is so miserable."

Early this morning, Xiao Cui went out with Bai Zhong to observe the punishment. Did not expect to be stimulated, all over the body, inside and outside, uncomfortable to death.

"The first person to execute the sentence was Chen's son-in-law, and his majesty sentenced him to cut his back and abandon the city. He was supposed to die happily, but he didn't want to be executed. His hand was blunt and his knife was blunt. He cut his waist three times.

Chen's son-in-law didn't die for the first time. He dragged half of his body forward for three steps.

He looked to the west, looked at the direction of the princess's house, and finally swallowed his last breath

"The Chen family and others died simply. The man beheaded and the woman gave poison. It's just that the youngest one is less than two years old, and he is also... "

Xiaocui can't go on. Today's scene of Chen's son-in-law's waist cutting will leave her a lifelong shadow.

It's horrible!

Too bloody, too cruel.

"This is still the son-in-law. This is the end. As a general official, I can't imagine the consequences. "

Gu Jiu's face is not very good after listening.

She asked Xiaocui to take a rest for a few days and make a good adjustment. Try not to think about that bloody scene.

After that, she called Bai Zhong to her side, "what did you see?"

Bai Zhong bowed down and said, "the prison officer is the Minister of the Ministry of punishment and the prime minister. Several other brides in law all disguised and appeared in the execution ground. Huyang county magistrate's family order adult, also in the execution ground, said to collect the body for the Chen family. Some other officials are also observing the punishment. "

Gu Jiu nodded and asked, "does your majesty have a bodyguard to watch the punishment?"

Bai Zhong shakes his head, "no one in the palace has ever appeared in the eastern suburb food market."

Gu Jiu sighed and got up, "follow me to see Princess Huyang."

The former Huyang princess's mansion became Huyang princess's mansion. Kim woo Wai has also withdrawn.

However, Princess Huyang did not move back. She still lived in the palace.

Gu Jiu brings people to the guest house.

The princess of Huyang was wearing a royal uniform and sitting on the throne.

Her two children had tears on their faces and fear in their eyes.

When Gu Jiu comes in, Huyang princess's stiff face finally has a reaction.

She opened her mouth and asked softly, "is the execution over?"

Gu Jiu nodded, "it's over."

"He, he was really cut off from the market?"

"Yes, Chen's son-in-law was cut off from the city by his waist, and his body would not be collected until three days later."

"Is it painful to die?"

Huyang princess looked at Gu Jiu eagerly, her eyes, this moment full of too much emotion, is regret, or hate?

Gu Jiu hesitated for a moment, and said in a slightly heavy tone: "he died with his eyes closed."

Princess Huyang cried out.

"It's my palace who hurt him. It's all my fault. Why am I not the one who died? "

Princess Huyang cried out of breath.

Chen Min and Chen LV, brother and sister, also cried.Brother and sister are half grown up, and have been well-off since childhood. Since experiencing a series of changes, brother and sister have grown up rapidly in a short period of time and are much more sensible than before.

Even though they were crying, they didn't say a word of resentment.

According to the law, their brothers and sisters are also killing the three clans. They are also damned.

Just like the little cousin who is under two years old, he will die under the knife and axe before he can see the world clearly.

But because their mother was a princess and their grandfather was the son of heaven, they were able to save their lives.

Gu Jiu sighed, "please forgive me."

Princess Huyang cried uncontrollably, "I didn't expect that it would be such a consequence. I didn't expect that my father would be so cruel. "

Gu Jiu has no expression and listens to the cry of Princess Huyang.

She was complaining and seeking comfort.

She was also afraid.

For the first time, she felt the coldness of imperial power, which made her shudder.

These days, she lives with fear, how she is afraid that one day, she will also get a glass of poisonous wine.

Gu Jiu told his servants to take good care of their mother and son, and left the guest house.

The sky is blue, but the mood is full of haze.

"Don't think too much, madam. Everything will be OK," said green plum

Gu Jiu shakes his head.

Wang Ye and Liu Zhao, now where they are, she did not know.

The case of Prince poisoning is complicated.

When investigating the case, he did not forget to stir up the water more and more turbid.

I really don't know how many people will be involved in the case of Prince poisoning.

But there is good news.

Jinwuwei, who was at the gate of the palace, was withdrawn early in the morning.

All the people in the palace are no longer restricted from entering and leaving.

Walking in the mansion, the atmosphere of the palace is very strange.

On the one hand, we were cautious and panicked. On the other hand, he was excited because his son-in-law was cut off and abandoned the city. He gathered together and whispered.

Seeing Gu Jiu's arrival, they are all scattered.

Green plum said: "these people are too disrespectful, what words dare to say."

Gu Jiu said, "ignore those people. Follow me to CHUNHETANG. "

Pei was still in charge of the palace.

It's just that Pei didn't want to be a director recently.

During the whole new year, I have been miserable, depressed and took medicine for a long time.

When Gu Jiu comes to CHUNHETANG, Xiao qin'er and Ouyang Fu are filial piety in front of PEI.

Pei was lying on the soft collapse with no spirit.

"The daughter-in-law greets the mother's concubine. Is she better today?"

Pei's first, um, "you have a mind. Sit down and talk."

Gu Jiu nodded and sat on the ground a few days before the case.

"Did you send someone to see it?" Pei asked directly

Gu Jiu nodded, "yes. After the execution, the magistrate's family order is taking people to collect the corpses for the Chen family. "

Pei Shi sighed, "Chen's son-in-law died miserably."

It is also the most serious punishment in this dynasty.

"Fortunately, it's all over."

The atmosphere in the hall changed sharply and the needle could be heard.

Xiao qin'er looks innocent and at a loss. "Did I say something wrong?" she said uneasily

Gu Jiu said indifferently: "is the safety of the prince and the young master forgotten?"

Xiao qin'er looked at Pei's family. "My mother, I'm talking about the Chen family's case. I have no other ideas."

Pei's hand waved, "OK, you don't have to say, this princess knows."

With that, Pei sighed again.

From the beginning of anxiety, anxiety, to the present calm, Pei also has a mental journey.

Gu Jiu thinks that maybe she should do something to prevent Liu Zhao from falling into the prince poisoning case.

It's just that it's hard to be measured in how to do it.

The son of heaven is suspicious and irascible. He is ready to kill people.

If she stands out, it is very likely that people will not be saved, but will put herself in.

"Madame, the Lord is back."

Just at this time, the servant reported that King Ning was back.

Pei sat up abruptly, "what do you say? Is the Lord really back? "

The servant said definitely, "the Lord is really back and has entered the gate."

Pei quickly got up and went outside.

Gu Jiu fell behind and stopped the messenger, "is the eldest son back?"

The servant shook his head, "I didn't see the eldest son."

Gu Jiu frowned and hurriedly followed Pei's family and went out to see King Ning.

Ning Wang is really back.

His complexion was good, and he did not see thin. It was obvious that King Ning did not suffer during this period of time.

"Lord!"As soon as Pei saw King Ning, he cried.

Wang Ye raised Pei's hand and said, "what are you crying about? Isn't this king back?"

Pei's tears like rain, eyes affectionately looking at Ning Wang, "Wang Ye suffered."

Ning Wang Hun said carelessly, "I didn't suffer any hardship, but I couldn't be free. Fortunately, he has finally come back, and the palace is comfortable. "

King Ning took Pei and sat down on the throne.

After hearing about the return of King Ning, Shen Bian Fei and others rushed to the Imperial Palace one after another.

For a moment, the hall was full of Ning Wang and his wife and concubine, how to cry, how to pacify and so on.

Gu Jiu coughed gently, which attracted the attention of all.

Gu Jiu came straight to the point and asked directly, "father, what about your son? Why didn't he come back with his father? "

"He..."

Ning Wang looked a little gloomy, "he took the place of the king, and now he is locked in the Zongzheng temple."

Pei immediately became nervous, "what's going on? Why is zhao'er still locked up when the Lord returns? It is impossible for the prince to be related to the imperial edict. How could your majesty be so confused. "

"Be careful

King Ning reminded Pei to speak carefully.

Pei's face was pale, and the muscles on his face trembled. "Lord, are you still hiding something? Tell me why zhao'er was locked up? "

Rather the king frowned, "he was locked up, there is a reason to be locked up, you do not ask."

Pei Shi embarrassed, but really did not ask.

Gu Jiu refused to accept this vague answer.

"Father, is it your Majesty's intention to detain the eldest son?"

Ning Wang nodded, "of course, it's the old man's meaning."

Gu Jiu asked again: "is it because of the case of Chen's son-in-law, or is it because of the prince's poisoning?"

Ning Wang stares at Gu Jiu, "your news is smart."

Gu nine facial expression is expressionless, "still ask father king real speech to tell."

King Ning perfunctorily said, "there are all."

Gu Jiu frowned. "So, is the eldest son taking the blame for his father?"

"Presumptuous! What do you say? " King Ning was displeased and scolded Gu Jiu rarely.

Gu Jiu grimace, "daughter-in-law or new wife, daughter-in-law do not want to be a widow, so please tell the truth."

King Ning snorted, "don't worry, zhao'er is the emperor's grandson. If you can't die, you won't be a widow. You can stay at home and wait patiently for zhao'er to come back. "

"Father, when will the eldest son return?"

Ning Wang bared his teeth. How can he answer this question.

He could only say, "I don't know."

Gu Jiu's face was clouded with clouds, "may I ask the father, who is being held in prison besides the childe?"

King Ning said, "there are thirteen princes, fifteen princes."

"In this case, there is only a young master?"

"Exactly."

Gu Jiu sneered, "the daughter-in-law often hears that his majesty is extremely kind to the emperor and grandson, and he hardly criticizes him too much. It's really strange that the eldest son was detained as a grandson. If you think about it carefully, are you really taking the blame for your father? "

Ning Wang stares at Gu Jiu, "Dalang daughter-in-law, you should consider the consequences."

Gu Jiu bows his head and smiles.

She remembered her second uncle's warning.

Her second uncle reminded her not to offend King Ning when she was in the palace.

Ning Wang was cruel to himself and more cruel to others.

Offending the princess, it's really hard for a while. He angered King Ning, but he may lose his life.

The sudden death of beauty Wu is a living example.

Gu Jiu has got the answer he wants, so he doesn't do entanglement.

She slightly bowed, "father Wang good life rest, daughter-in-law quit."

Finish saying, Gu Jiu takes a person, straight away.

No one stopped.

Ning Wang didn't say anything.

He just slightly narrowed his eyes, eyes complex looking at Gu Jiu's back.

Inside the hall, there was a strange silence.

Pei looked at the king of Ning, "Lord, the imperial edict will be ok?"

King Ning said angrily, "what can I do for you? Are you doubting the king

Pei's recognition counsels, "concubine body did not suspect the Lord."

Ning Wang Leng hum a, "this matter does not want to mention again."

With that, he swung his sleeve and left.

Gu Jiu, with a gloomy face, returned to the eastern courtyard.

Qingmei and mother Fang advised her together.

"Don't be angry, madam. Anger hurts the liver. "

"Fortunately, Madame left in time. The maidservant watched. If the lady continued to press her step by step, the LORD would punish her on the spot. "

Gu Jiu said coldly, "the Lord can certainly cure me. He is a prince and father-in-law. No matter what his status is, I can't bear it. Rational approach, avoid its edge, so my wife will decisively leave. Go and call for Qin and chess. Mrs. Ben asked themAfter a while, eight servant girls were called to the upper room.

Although Gu Jiu is angry with Ning Wang, she is not confused by the anger. On the contrary, he arranged the affairs rationally.

Her eyes swept over everyone's faces, and then said, "you must have heard that the Lord has returned, but the young master has not come back.

The prince said that the young master is currently in the Zongzheng temple, and his majesty has ordered the matter himself.

No one can tell how long the young master will be detained. They may be detained for three or five months, or three or five years, or even ten or eight years.

My wife asked you, who would like to go to the Zongzheng temple to serve the young master

The eight servant girls looked at each other and their faces changed.

"Madam, are you really locked up?" he asked carefully

Gu Jiu's face was serious, "such a big thing, how can I joke with you. If you want to serve the young master, say so. In the morning, my wife will send you over. "

All the servant girls are low.

Gu Jiu sneered, "it seems that you are not willing to go to the Zongzheng temple to serve the young master."

"Excuse me, madam. Maybe I'm more suitable to be a servant in Zongzheng temple."

If you don't want to go, you just don't want to go.

As a servant girl, but all of them are light and afraid of heavy ones. They are more respectable than the ladies of ordinary official families.

I don't want to think about who gave this honor.

Sure enough, the rich life of the palace made several servant girls forget their duty.

Gu Jiu sneered.

Liu Zhao was also a failure. Once in trouble, no servant girl was willing to serve her.

Gu Jiu didn't take the opportunity to make a fuss. She ordered: "get the childe's bedding and clothes ready, and someone will take them over tomorrow. Get out of the way, all of you. "

"Madame Xie."

Several servant girls filed out.

"Pooh!"

Green plum disdains a way: "each is not good thing, childe is in trouble, they unexpectedly don't go to serve. The lady is too kind to let them go easily

"This is not the time to worry about these things," Gu said. Prepare more books, brush, ink, paper and inkstone, the common utensils used by young master. I'll go to Zongzheng temple with me early tomorrow morning. "
