Chapter 367 Cause and Effect
…
The birds in the trees are chirping.
Chirp, chirp.
Princess Caiyi brought the two children into the palace, and the palace became very lively.
Where there are children, the air will be more lively
. It seems that the air is flowing faster.
Where there are children, the plankton in the air will become more active and jump more happily.
The family had a reunion dinner together.
Jiang Feng got married, Jiang Yu got married, and they both had children. Qin Luoxia and Jiang Changtian were at most forty years old, becoming grandparents, but they had exceeded the average life expectancy and lived a long life. In
this era, if you are not married in your thirties, it is almost the same as being single in your sixties today.
Jiang Changtian and Qin Luoxia feel good about their son-in-law and daughter-in-law.
They both look like honest people.
The son-in-law is calm and kind-hearted, but he is not a bad person either. I knew it when I first met him that even if he saved people, the girls he saved were all taken care of by his good friend He Chen. He has a sense of boundaries and rules.
The daughter-in-law looks naive, but she is not stupid, at least smarter than his own sister Yu.
That's very good.
Sister Yu is so thoughtful, and the Meng family treats her well and treats her very well. After getting married, her mind has not improved much, which shows that her life is easy.
If she was naive when she was a girl, and became shrewd and mercenary after getting married, it can only be because the living environment after getting married is not as good as when she was a girl, and she needs to become shrewd and mercenary, and fight and grab, so as to suffer less losses.
They were worried that Feng Ge'er was cold and emotionless. Although Feng Ge'er would even call the prostitutes in the county "sister" when he was a child, he was ruthless when he drew his sword, regardless of gender. Feng Ge'er seemed to be very enthusiastic towards everyone, but in fact, he didn't take it to heart.
Qin Luoxia was also worried that Feng Ge'er couldn't find a partner, after all, her sister was married and had two children, but Feng Ge'er didn't make any move.
Now it's good, Feng Ge'er is married, although the daughter-in-law is a daughter of a rich family, but she doesn't have that kind of high and mighty spirit. As a mother-in-law, Qin Luoxia can't stand that kind of girl the most. She is pretty, but she cries all day long, needs to be coaxed every day, and acts every day. If Feng Ge'er likes this kind of girl, she really wants to sever the mother-son relationship, mainly because she can't stand her son being humble all day long, endlessly.
Dong E is very good, cheerful, happy to see, and her heart and eyes are full of Feng Ge'er. They hold hands when walking, and Feng Ge'er also has a smile on his face, much more lively than usual.
Jiang Changtian is also very happy today.
Getting married means you are really grown up.
Feng Ge'er was not even given a wedding leave, and he was directly sent to work in the government office.
With a few more years of experience, he can retire earlier.
And he also has the task of taking care of the baby. I always feel that because he has been too busy in recent years, he has neglected Mianmian's education. He should spend more time with her.
The Empress Dowager and the Princess also attended the family dinner. To be honest, the Princess is a little uncomfortable with such a family dinner.
It is very close, casual, and unpretentious. She is really not used to it.
She is more accustomed to the feeling of being superior, and everyone present is scum.
But now everyone present, the son is the emperor, very fierce, smiling on the surface, but actually very fierce. The daughter-in-law
is the queen, she is swift and ruthless, super fierce.
The little granddaughter is smiling, not easy to offend, and I want to listen to her stories.
The eldest granddaughter is pregnant again, and we need to pay special attention.
The eldest grandson-in-law just came back from the battlefield. Although he behaved very obediently, I heard that he had to kill hundreds of enemy soldiers for a meal...
The eldest grandson looked a bit like his son. Although he had a gentle smile, he always felt that he was a bit fierce.
Finally, the granddaughter-in-law looked like the noble lady in the capital that Princess Huiyun was familiar with, but when she spoke and watched her movements, she couldn't keep a meal together. She was very Jiang family...
In fact, the eldest princess felt a little awkward. She saw that her father and brother were not emperors in this way, so she wondered if she should teach her son.
But it seemed that her brother and father were not very successful when they were emperors.
And she was not sure she knew how to be an emperor.
She had lived for most of her life, and the reason she could live to this day was because she didn't meddle in other people's business. When she was old, would she teach her son how to do things? How to become an emperor? Princess Huiyun felt that she didn't have the ability, so she just thought about it.
Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. If you don't teach someone a day when they are young, it will be too late to teach them when they grow up.
The whole family ate and drank together. It was a very private family dinner, and few people were invited.
Godfather Eunuch Yan was in attendance.
Eunuch Yan has always been very particular about the main and the secondary in the palace, but this time he sat at the table.
Because after attending Feng Ge'er's wedding, he was ready to take people out to sea.
He is the most powerful eunuch in all dynasties. Other eunuchs also adopt adopted sons and daughters, but they rely on their power to do evil things. However, the adopted sons and daughters he adopted are real princes and princesses. He can rely on them to do evil things...
Huangmen Minister Xiqichi was also invited to attend as a family member.
Xiqichi was neither humble nor arrogant, just like in the past.
On this day, Eunuch Yan drank wine, and the emperor did not drink, but drank with Eunuch Yan.
After eating and drinking, it was already dark.
In the dark corner of the Yu Garden, without the concubines he met by chance, the emperor pulled Eunuch Yan to talk.
No one knew what the two talked about.
All we know is that Eunuch Yan was appointed as the eunuch in charge of the internal affairs and the chief eunuch, and he led a group of eunuchs to prepare to go to sea, and disappeared in front of everyone.
Some people said that Eunuch Yan went to find the elixir of longevity for the emperor.
However, two days after Eunuch Yan left, a major case occurred in the capital.
The former son-in-law of the eldest princess was found stabbed at home. His death was miserable, his body was full of holes, like an hourglass, and his testicles were also cut off.
It was a major case. After all,
the former son-in-law was also a member of the royal family, and he was killed at home in the capital, a place with such good law and order.
The Ministry of Justice intervened in the investigation, but could not find out the cause.
Some people suspect that it was the new emperor who did it, but the former Crown Prince Han's family is fine. If the new emperor did it, there is no need to spare the Crown Prince Han.
Moreover, the new emperor looks like an upright and old-fashioned scholar. He does things in a methodical manner and asks his ministers to be realistic. He does not let people guess. When the former Prince Consort got into trouble, the new emperor was discussing the issue of taxation with his ministers. When someone reported it, the new emperor was also very surprised. It must be true.
Some people also say that it was the eunuch Yan Zheng who did it. It is said that there are eyewitnesses, but Jiu Qiansui has no grudges against the former Prince Consort and has a bright future. He has already taken his people to the sea by boat. There should be no need for him to turn around and kill the former Prince Consort before leaving.
The death of the Prince Consort has become an unsolved case.
Taking a boat from Jincheng, the big flag was hoisted high and fluttered in the wind.
Envoy Yan, dressed in red, sat on the big boat, holding the Clairvoyance given by the little princess.
You can see a white bird flying in the blue sea, spreading its wings and flying high, breaking the waves.
You can see a small island.
Looking back, you can also vaguely see the houses on the shore, getting farther and farther away.
Before leaving the capital, the group of people led by Eunuch Yan did a big thing together, which was considered Eunuch Yan's token of surrender.
They killed people together, and each of them cut a knife.
The white knife went in and the red knife came out, and blood splashed.
Eunuch Yan said that this was their ceremony before leaving.
Although they have no eggs, they have blood. From now on, they go out to sea to be brave men, kill enemies when they meet them, survive a narrow escape, come back alive, bring honor to their ancestors, and enter the history books.
This year.
On July 7, the first year of the New Chu Dynasty, the new emperor's envoy, the eunuch Yan Jiexi, led a fleet to the distant ocean.
The first stop was Xi State, which happened to be experiencing a civil war. The team led by Envoy Yan helped one of the royalist factions and won the victory, gaining a lot of supplies and manpower. They continued to sail westward and found a small country on the other side of the ocean. The people there had brown hair and blue eyes, and were rich in products. They didn't need to farm, but could just pick fruits to fill their stomachs. At first, they couldn't communicate with the country, so Envoy Yan stayed there for two years and then continued on their journey...
The new emperor of Chu ascended the throne, and in the second year, a natural disaster occurred. This disaster lasted for three years, and the country received a steady stream of supplies from overseas, which greatly alleviated Chu's internal and external worries.
(Originally, the seventh prince ascended the throne. After three years of natural disasters, the new emperor said that God wanted to destroy Chu and implemented a brutal rule. The dead piled up in the city. The Chu State was in danger. The crown prince Chu Xi was ordered to take over. The new emperor committed suicide and Chu Xi ascended the throne...)
The sea, the seagull, the red flag.
The corpse.
Yan Jiexi killed a robber who wanted to board the ship. The blood splashed on his face. He took a sip. The taste of rusty iron, fishy and salty, made him more excited.
"Sons, charge, kill!"
The birthmark on his knee has been deformed because there are several more scars on it.
On an uninhabited island, a red flag was planted with "Chu" written on it.
The blue sea, the green island, the red blood, the red flag.
