Chapter 294 The Downfall of the Zhou Family

"Yang Shun, the Royal Concubine has had a heart attack recently and needs to rest. Ask Lin Feng to send someone to guard the door and not disturb her peace."

Upon hearing this, Yang Shun immediately went back to do it.

The emperor stood alone in the tower for a long time, and then the case of Zhou was handed over to Xu Mo for trial.

Lin Feng found a lot of evidence from the Zhou family that Zhou Shi'an had contacted important officials in the court, and also found the draft of the new jade seal.

This Zhou, not only wants to help the third prince seize the throne, but also wants to take over the entire Dashuo.

This idea, of course, has not been in her mind for a day or two, but in order to suppress Su Bowen and reuse Zhou, Zhou, who has been suppressing her heart for a long time, finally couldn't help it.

In the end, all the male members of the Zhou family were beheaded, and even Zhou Liang was framed by Su Xiaoxiao because he wanted to harm Pei Yuan and Su Changhe, and fell off the cliff.

When he was found, he was still breathing. In the end, he was carried to the execution ground and beheaded, and all the female members were exiled.

The royal concubine of Zhou wanted to go out to plead for her family, but she couldn't even leave the door, and was finally given a white silk by the emperor.

The third prince Gu Huaichen was directly given a fiefdom and sent to the fiefdom. For the rest of his life, he could not enter the capital without the emperor's edict.

As for Su Bohao, it has been verified that he fled because he had an affair with the commander's concubine.

Now he is involved in the Zhou family's rebellion and is directly sentenced to death. Even his son is not spared.

His wife was also regarded as an accomplice and exiled with the Zhou family's female members.

Poor Su Bohao's biological mother Liu, because Zhou Shi'an mentioned that, Su Bohao didn't want her to influence him, so he directly paid to hire someone to kill her.

But she was dead, and no one knew that she was once the wife of the once-prominent Duke of Zhenguo.

Cai Zhenglin's past scandals were revealed. In order to preserve the reputation of Cai Lao as a great scholar, the emperor agreed not to make the matter public.

However, he had to follow Su Changhe and Pei Yuan's instructions and personally go to Uncle Wu to apologize and die.

Cai Zhenglin was grateful for being able to save the reputation of the Cai family, and he knelt in front of Uncle Wu and his wife and committed suicide.

Because of his son's affairs, Cai Lao was too ashamed to stay in the capital and retired to his hometown.

After this incident, the people around the emperor were cleaned up again. The post of

Minister of Works had been vacant since Wang Duozi, and the emperor wanted Su Bowen to take the position.

Su Bowen knew that serving the emperor was like serving a tiger, so he shirked the responsibility by saying that he was just a military man and could not take on such an important task, so he only accepted the task of training new soldiers.

Su Xiaoxiao's uncle Zhao Hongye also completed the post-disaster reconstruction of Xiling, returned to the capital, and became the Minister of Works.

Zhao Antai was appointed as the Prince's Tutor, specifically responsible for teaching the prince and other princes.

Zhao Liming could have stayed in the capital, but he chose to be a county magistrate in another place.

Xu's heart was in turmoil as her son had just returned and her grandson was about to take up the post.

She was happy and sad at the same time.

With so many things going on at home, Zhao Wanyue held a banquet at the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion to welcome her elder brother Zhao Hongye and to bid farewell to her nephew Zhao Liming.

Because it was a family banquet, only the Zhao and Tang families were invited.

After taking Su Xiaoxiao's medicine, Mrs. Tang was reborn. Knowing that her daughter still had a bloodline in the world, she felt very energetic.

Because it was a family banquet, there were no outsiders. There were only male and female tables, and no separate rooms. During the banquet, everyone talked and laughed, and it was very lively.

Tang Yanjun even pulled Zhao Liming to Tang Yongning and said, "Yongning, Liming will be taking up his post soon. Don't you have many things to ask him? Why don't you hurry up and ask!"

Tang Yongning was also a scholar. The two sat together and talked happily.

Seeing that the family had a successor, the old generation was very relieved.

But seeing that Zhao Hongye was alone, Xu couldn't help feeling sad. It was also her fault that she was so obsessed with Qian. Just as she

was thinking about this, Lian Xuan came and whispered a few words in Zhao Wanyue's ear.

Zhao Wanyue's face turned unhappy, and she asked in a low voice: "What is she doing here?"

Seeing this, Mrs. Xu asked: "Who is here?"

They are all family members, so Zhao Wanyue did not hide anything and said: "Liming's mother is clamoring to see Liming!"

Mrs. Xu was furious when she heard it: "What is she doing here? When Hongye got into trouble, we repeatedly said that Hongye would not do such corrupt and lawless things, and asked her to slow down.

She is impatient to get a divorce, how can Liming beg her to divorce? , she insisted on leaving. Now that Hongye and Liming have become successful, she came here eagerly again, "Wanyue, tell someone to kick him out."

Zhao Wanyue finally estimated Zhao Liming and whispered, "Mother, although Qian and my eldest brother have divorced, no matter what, she is Liming's mother. It is natural for mother to take care of her son. We have gone too far. It is not good for our family or Liming!" Xu

knew what Zhao Wanyue said, but she was angry just now.

However, she was very uncomfortable to let that vicious woman in.

Xu had to say, "I have already said that she will let her go just to see Liming. No more!"

Zhao Liming felt very guilty when he heard that Qian came and disturbed everyone's peace.

He said, "Grandmother, aunt, since she is here to look for me, I will go out to meet her. Don't let her come to aunt's house to make trouble and disturb everyone's good mood."

Zhao Wanyue knew how to behave. She didn't come to see her son. Now she saw that her elder brother and nephew were both successful, she regretted it and wanted to curry favor with them.

Zhao Liming was a young man who had not experienced the world, and Qian was his mother. If he went to see her alone, he didn't know how he would be treated.

Zhao Wanyue said, "There is no reason for you to meet guests outside your aunt's house. Lian Xuan, ask someone to invite Qian in."

Zhao Wanyue had just finished speaking when another servant ran in and said, "Madam, Qian saw that no one was going to invite her in, so she started making a fuss outside. She was crying and making a fuss, saying that the Zhao family and the Su family had teamed up to bully her and not let her see her son.

This is ridiculous . The head is very well-known, and it has attracted many people to watch."

Xu stamped her feet in anger: "This vicious woman, it is not enough to make trouble in our house, but she also came to the Duke of Zhenguo's house. She is deliberately making trouble for Ming'er!"

Because Qian was his biological mother, Zhao Liming felt guilty and embarrassed. He bowed to everyone and walked out. He must make his mother leave here as soon as possible.

Everyone followed Zhao Liming because they were afraid that he would suffer a loss. When they reached the door, they saw Qian standing there wiping her tears.

She cried and said, "The current second place is my biological son. I just wanted to see him once, but my ex-mother-in-law wouldn't allow me to enter the door.

He will be leaving for another place tomorrow, so I wanted to send him two sets of clothes I made myself. I ran here eagerly. I was hoping that his aunt would be sensible and let me see my child, but I didn't expect that they would also refuse me entry. Please judge for me, how can a mother's seeing her son violate the law of heaven!"
