Chapter 155 The Traitor

The mighty infantry and cavalry and ceremonial guards were heading south, and the emperor was busy while rushing to the road.

Zhu Di felt very tired after taking countless memorials and remarks, forces from all over the world, and people who had to be treated separately.

There was no smile on his face, as if he had just become emperor was not as happy as he thought...

After a large number of people arrived in the capital, Zhu Gaoxu received an oral order from the emperor to move to the mansion where King Yàn had lived before, which was the house where their brothers were imprisoned in the capital in the early years of Jianwen.

This is what Princess Xu means, saying that Gao Xu is going to get married, and many people have just died in Lianying's mansion, so it is unlucky to live there.

However, there were some servants guarding the house in the Yàn Palace. Zhu Gaoxu was not convenient to drive away those servants, but he was not very clear about their background.

...The capital has mountains and waters, and the world's wealth is gathered in a city, which is extremely rich, with double eaves and temples, pavilions and towers everywhere.

It is the season when spring is warm and flowers are blooming, and the weeping willows are swaying and flowers are blooming.

It was originally a beautiful scenery, but at this time the city was covered with haze and murderous intent.

Two months ago, the palace was still the place where Emperor Jianwen lived, but now it has become the residence of the Xinjun and his family.For a time, the palace was still quite chaotic, and each palace had to be redesigned and selected.

Miao Jin didn't enter the palace for the time being, so she went home first. She also wanted to see her mother who had been away for a long time.

She was in the same car as Jing Qing. As soon as she arrived at the door of her house, she actually smelled a pungent stench!

When Miao Jin got off the car, she saw a lot of manure and unknown dirt at the door. There was some blood splashing on the door panel, and two big words were scribbled on it: Traitor!

After Jing Qing came down, his face turned pale and his eyes swept over the red letters on the door.The follower didn't say anything, silently knocking on the closed corner door.

At this moment, a long-robed scholar suddenly emerged from a corner of the wall and spitted at him: "Tracist thief!"Greedy and afraid of death, corrupt, full of loyalty and morality, and false gentleman!

stop!A follower cursed.But the scholar ran away.Jing Qing said: Come back, come in!

Miaojin gently covered her mouth and nose and followed her father into the mansion.

Mrs. Jing came to greet her. Everyone saw the gift first. Mrs. Jing grabbed Miaojin's hand and kept wiping her tears with her handkerchief.

The atmosphere in the house was very heavy, and they looked at each other speechlessly.

Mom, what's wrong with your forehead?Miao Jin reached out to stroke Mrs. Jing's head and saw a bruise on it.

Mrs. Jing covered her hand and said: It’s nothing, it’s almost done, it’s just my fault. A while ago, Huang Zicheng was lingchi at the entrance of the city and it took him three days and three nights to die of pain! I took the car quietly to take a look, but unexpectedly I was recognized. A group of people came from somewhere, crowded and overturned the carriage, and I fell...

As soon as the group entered the house, Mrs. Jing said again: The families of many ministers in the court were too miserable, and some unmarried daughters were even stripped of their own and paraded in the streets, and sent to the military camp. They were humiliated and insulted by the soldiers day and night... Mrs. Jing glanced at Jing Qing, saying, "If I were from their family, I might as well die!"

snort!Jing Qing looked angry and said nothing.

But Mrs. Jing continued to say from the side: I know Huang Zicheng’s wife, Xu. I heard that twenty men guard her every day...

You don't have to say it, I know it. Jing Qing finally couldn't stand it anymore. People like Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai, Fang Xiaoru were originally advocated for the reduction of the vassal states. Now that things are wrong, they will definitely not be able to escape from the crime. What's so strange?

But not only them, there are also families such as Bao Zhao, Lian Zining, Lian Ying and others.I heard that it’s not over, and there are still people who want to continue to be punished. Now the people in the capital are in panic and I don’t know when it will be their turn to be unlucky.Mrs. Jing sighed, and she asked carefully again, did you agree with Fang Xiaoru and Lian Ying to die for the country?

Jing Qing frowned and refused to answer.

Mrs. Jing said with a worried look: No wonder so many people insult our family, and now the people in the mansion dare not even leave the door.

Miao Jin carefully observed her father's expression, and she was thinking: Has his father hesitated when he heard so many tragic situations?

Maybe it was because of hesitation and wavering. Although my father was in a poor family since childhood, he had been studying and had not suffered much. Later, he had been prosperous and prosperous for many years. How could he not have the idea of ​​greed for life?

However, Miaojin knew what his father valued the most...

Jing Qing stood up and said: I still have something to do.Then he walked out of the door and headed straight towards the study.

Miao Jin had not given up yet and did not care about her mother Xu Jiu, so she hurriedly followed her.

She followed into the study, walked to her father, and said tentatively: Dad, except for those ministers in the court who presided over the reduction of the vassals, most of the civil and military officials surrendered. People like Yang Rong and Jian Yi were arrogant and surrendered voluntarily. Xia Yuanji was favored and valued by Jianwenjun and surrendered very quickly. But no one scolded them...

snort!Jing Qing looked disgusted.

Seeing this, Miao Jin's heart sank, but continued to say softly: During the Jianwen Dynasty, his father's power and official position were not as powerful as Xia Yuanji, why was his father alone being held back?Because of one thing, my father, Fang Xiaoru and Lian Ying agreed to die for the country, neither of them surrendered, but my father surrendered...

Just now, when Miao Jin saw the filth at the gate, she understood: the people who are angry in the world are not the ministers of Jianwen surrender, but hypocrisy!

Outsiders do not understand Jing Qing, and even King Yàn thought Jing Qing had surrendered... But Jing Qing said too many loyal and honest words, and even shouted that he would commit suicide and sacrifice his country. In the contrast of his words and deeds, because he misunderstood and shameless, people in the world would despise him!

Jing Qing, who wants face and reputation, even if he is really scared at a certain moment and hesitated and retreats, he will not be able to turn back!

Miao Jin figured out this section and said quietly: Fang Xiaoru and Lian Ying are dead, and there is no evidence to prove it. My father could try to disobey that agreement, so he said it was a rumor...

Stop it!Jing Qing cursed in a deep voice.

He walked around impatiently, took a deep breath, and suddenly his tone calmed down: I understand.Daughter Ah, you have been in Peking for several years, and I don’t know who has been bewitched by you, and your original intention of thinking has deviated.

You only see the people around you and think that life is important and your own family is important.But I forgot the teachings of sages, and forgot the essence of killing oneself and sacrificing one's life for righteousness!

Jing Qing said earnestly: There is something more important than life in this world, which is righteousness. Mencius has taught the world.A daughter must be able to distinguish between the more important ones.

Miao Jin suddenly stopped saying a word. Even if her father was not angry and debated calmly, she could not say that her father could get the Jinshi exam...

At this moment, Jing Qing turned around and said firmly: I will do that thing myself!On that day, you and your mother will take the lead so as to avoid being humiliated like Tie Xuan's wife.

He stared at Miaojin's face and waited for her to answer.Miaojin's face was a little pale, and she still nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Jing Qing nodded with satisfaction. He was still paced back and forth in the study, sometimes lowering his head to ponder, sometimes staring out the window, as if he was thinking hard about good plans and planning an assassination!

Miao Jin had already tried his best, and at this time he had completely given up on the idea of ​​persuading his father to turn back.My father was full of poetry and books, and no one could persuade him in a few words.

She came to her boudoir and sat in front of the window, dazed for a while.

In the last time, she felt that she should take a few more glances at the beautiful scenery in this world.

At this moment, she suddenly realized that she still had many things she wanted to do but didn't do... She used to think she was young and had many years left, but then she realized that life was short and fleeting.

The light red peach blossoms in the yard are falling, with petals everywhere, and a faint fragrance is filled with the air. Miaojin closed her eyes and breathed the breath carefully.

She squinted her eyes lazily again, tilted her head to feel the warmth and brilliance of spring. The bright and warm world turned out to be really good... A low voice seemed to be narrating in her ears: Wait a little longer, look more, and you will find that the world is big and beautiful, and there are many things worth nostalgic about.

Then she began to search for old things, handwriting, and clothes and small items in the box, and slowly recalled the joys, sorrows and sorrows of eighteen years.

Sometimes she would be sad, sometimes she would cover her mouth and smile. Unexpectedly, there were so many interesting things in that dusty place, and I haven't remembered them for a long time.

This is also good. You can be prepared to die and understand it without having to suffer long-term torture before your death like other ministers and families.

When Miao Jin sat in front of the bronze mirror, she saw the red lips and white teeth in the bronze mirror, and her face became clear and delicate when it was close; the fallen flowers and antique carved windows behind her were hazy.

Even I think the picture in the bronze mirror is very beautiful.

She looked at the person in the mirror and made various postures and expressions. She stretched out her snow-white neck, raised her plump chest, brushed her hands from her collarbone through her plump skin, and held her soft and slender waist. Miaojin couldn't help but sighed quietly for a moment.

She even thought she was very beautiful, but it would soon disappear, but now she can only admire herself.

So suddenly, Miaojin felt very unwilling to accept it and felt a little self-pitying.

In the hazy, Miao Jin seemed to see a pair of concentrated gazes, secretly looking and admiring behind her in the inner house of the Yàn Prince's Mansion.There seemed to be all kinds of amazement and coveting in his eyes...

Miao Jin's face turned red. It turned out that she was uncomfortable to be seen, but now she thought to herself: All he saw was a coarse sermon robe, which was wide and thick, covering up the most beautiful place.

The more she thought about it, the more she became, the more she felt shrill, and she spitted herself from time to time, and people who were not yet married were so shameless.

But from time to time I think that if people can discover this beauty, remember her beauty and let all this live in someone's heart, there will be less regret.
