Chapter 290: The army class teacher returns to the DPRK

At this moment, a voice from the Queen of Zhou came from outside the door: "My concubine asks Your Majesty to deal with the Zhou family rebels impartially."

Lu Chen looked back at Empress Zhou, "Queen Mother?"

The Queen of Zhou knelt on the ground and said, "The concubine failed to discipline the Duke of Wu's mansion and let her family make such a mistake. The concubine is willing to be punished."

Emperor Huilin stepped down from the dragon chair again and again, and lifted Empress Zhou and said, "This matter has nothing to do with you, Crown Prince, everyone in the Zhou family deserves their crimes for treason, and I will not forgive you lightly!"

"After Qin Shu was assigned to the frontier, he still did not want to repent and rebel, his crime should be punished, and he should be sentenced to Ling Chi!"

"The Minister of the Household was dismissed and investigated, and the house was searched for investigation..."

Emperor Huilin was convicted of conspiracy against one party with King Huai one by one, and many courtiers were more or less implicated, and everyone in Chang'an was in danger for a while.

People who used to be too close to Cheng'en's Mansion and King Huai all came to find a relationship with the Marquis of Anyuan's Mansion.

After the Empress Dowager Luoyang went to the funeral, His Majesty ordered that the national filial piety be lifted. The Empress Dowager may have three years or one year of filial piety after her death, or seven seven forty-nine days instead of one year, but it can also be regarded as seven seven forty-nine days after the funeral.

The state mourning was lifted just after the funeral, although the censors felt that it was inappropriate, but they did not dare to make the first bird at this time.

After all, because of Tong Lei, many censors secretly had contacts with King Huai.

After Qiao Jinniang returned to Chang'an from Luoyang, she sighed when she saw all the women from the Zhou family were rushed to the classroom before entering the palace.

When she was passing by Tian Prison, she saw Lu Chen's carriage, so she stopped the carriage and entered the Tian Prison.

In the sky prison, in a dark and damp prison.

Zhou Siming squatted in a corner of the prison with his hair disheveled. Inside, Lu Chen and Lin Mo were sitting in front of Zhou Siming with wine and vegetables.

Lu Chen said: "Cousin, tomorrow is the day of execution. Today, Lin Molai and I will practice it for you."

Zhou Siming looked at Lu Chen and said, "I know what I have done wrong, and there is no way to survive, but, for the sake of your brother, would you spare Sisi?"

Lu Chen said, "Impossible!"

"After all, she didn't do anything wrong. She just loved you so much. For the woman Qiao Jinniang, did you really care about your childhood affection? What's so good about her?"

Zhou Siming stood up and asked.

Lu Chen looked at Zhou Siming and said, "She is my wife, who am I not for her? Don't you understand it to this day? Jinniang has never been at fault. You are wrong in taking the Duke of Wu's manor very high. I thought it would be impossible to be isolated from the Duke of Wu's residence."

Zhou Siming said: "In those days, the Duke of Wuguo handed over the military power to make the queen become the queen and you to become the prince, but now you have come to avenge your revenge!"

Lu Chen helplessly sighed and said, "Zhou Siming, do you think that if there was no queen in the Duke Wu's mansion back then, how long could Your Majesty tolerate the arrogance of the Duke Wu's mansion after the death of Concubine Zhou? When my grandmother asked the Duke Wu's mansion to hand over the military power, it was definitely not for the sake of the queen, but In order to protect the Zhou family.

But I didn't expect that after more than 20 years, the Duke of Wu's government was still so arrogant after losing military power, and the Zhou family has all blamed the Zhou family for despising the imperial power! "

Zhou Siming saw a bright yellow skirt outside the prison and said, "Today's Zhou family is tomorrow's Qiao family!"

Lu Chen said: "The ancestors of the Qiao family and the founding emperor have always been loyal and righteous. If you want to be compared with the Qiao family, you are not qualified!"

"Different ways do not conspire. I have been in Lin'an for more than three years, and I should have known that we are no longer each other in the past. After drinking the practice wine, I hope we will never meet again in the next life!"

Zhou Siming said again: "Lin Mo, Qin Miaomiao is innocent. In order not to join forces with us, she almost committed suicide. She should not be implicated by the Qin family and become an official prostitute. You and her still have a marriage contract, please. save her life."

Lin Mo said slowly: "If Qin Miaomiao didn't join forces, I would naturally go to protect her."

Zhou Siming cupped his hands and said, "Thank you."

...

In the East Palace, Qiao Jinniang lay down on the imperial concubine's couch and closed her eyes to rest after watching the palace servants clean up.

Hearing the announcement outside, she got up, and Lu Chen strode up to her and said, "Did I wake you up?"

Qiao Jinniang shook her head, hugged Lu Chen and said, "You have done your best for the Zhou family. If you are really sad, just cry. I won't laugh at you."

Lu Chen gently scratched Qiao Jinniang's nose: "What do you say? Zhou Siming deserves what he deserves. I'm just worried about my grandmother. At her age, the Zhou family building will collapse. Isn't she uncomfortable?"

Qiao Jinniang said: "I am more curious about the queen mother. I never thought that not only did she not intercede for the Zhou family, but she even asked His Majesty to deal with it fairly when you interceded. I don't understand that."

Queen Zhou doesn't seem to be someone who would ignore her parents' family for the sake of her reputation.

Empress Zhou is very straightforward when she does things. Without Empress Zhou's acquiescence, it would be impossible for her to be alone in the East Palace.

Lu Chen said, "Xu was heartbroken by the Zhou family."

"Prince Concubine Empress, please see the Lord Fulu outside."

Although she was out of the national mourning, Fu Lu was still wearing a light ru skirt. She walked up to Qiao Jinniang and said, "Jinniang, can you save Qin Miaomiao? She has nothing to do with the Qin family's rebellion. ...she's also an innocent person."

Qiao Jinniang looked at Lu Chen on the side and said, "Yes, in this family raid, many of the women are innocent. The wife of the minister of the household is in Luoyang to be filial to the queen mother, but her husband rebels, but she will be arrested. Filled with low status as a slave and a maid..."

Lu Chen replied: "It's impossible to be implicated by her husband. She also benefited from her husband's glory. As for Qin Miaomiao, she has a marriage contract with Lin Mo, and she is considered a married daughter. If the Lin family is willing to protect her, she can also be exempted. punished."

County Master Fulu said repeatedly: "That's good, without Qin Miaomiao quarreling with me, my life would be meaningless!"

Jin Niang smiled: "You will be the wife of the prince of Anyuan Hou's mansion in the future. Is this what you pursue in your life?"

"My mother-in-law is young," said Fulu County Master. "Besides, my grandmother is still here! The Marquis of Anyuan doesn't need me to take the lead. That's the advantage of finding a young mother-in-law."

Fu Lu said: "Qiao Lu has been to the northwest for so long, and he never came back. I'm so worried about him!"

Lu Chen said: "The Qiao family's army will soon return to the court. Qiao Lu is fine, but An Yuanhou is indeed injured."

Qiao Jinniang asked, "Is it serious?"

"I heard from the imperial physician that it is not too serious, but my father-in-law told the imperial physician to say something more serious..."

Qiao Jinniang understood that Zheng Xiaoke did not fully understand Hou Anyuan, this was Hou Anyuan trying to use a bitter plan.

This time, the attack on Xiliang and Beimo, the Qiao family's army was indispensable. When the two armies returned to the dynasty, Emperor Huilin led a hundred officials to meet them at the city gate in person.

The people also stood in a row and watched the army return to the court, but some people were saying: "The Zhou family is the queen's family. going into recession.”

"Yes, yes, the Qiao family is too powerful, the emperor may not be afraid of the power of the Qiao family and the prince."
