Chapter 493 Leaving
Early the next morning.
Qin Lang sent Zhang Chao out to inquire about the news.
In the afternoon, Zhang Chao came back with some news.
"I followed Saburo's instructions and went to see those people."
"how?"
"It is said that Zheng Jieyu's father, Zheng Xuanli, received an order to enter the palace early this morning. I heard that after seeing Zheng Jieyu for the last time, the emperor issued a decree to posthumously present Zheng Jieyu's nine concubines as Zhaoyi, and also made Zheng Xuanli the Imperial Academy Bachelor."
And when Qin Lang heard the news that Zheng Wanyan had just died, the Zheng family had sent another prostitute, Zheng Wanrong, into the palace, he felt even colder on the back.
The real emperor is ruthless.
The emperor also said yesterday that he misunderstood them, but at night he bestowed the Zheng family to death. According to the outside world, Zheng's mood was depressed after giving birth, and he couldn't think about it for a while and hanged himself to death while others were not prepared.
The Zheng family's reaction was even more chilling. They didn't intend to investigate at all. They completely accepted what the palace said, and even frankly accepted the reward given by the emperor after their daughter's death. The daughter Zheng Shiqiniang entered the palace gracefully.
Did Li Shimin become ruthless, or was he already ruthless?
Qin Lang didn't know, and didn't want to think about it.
He just wanted to leave Luoyang early, and he didn't want to see Li Shimin again, at least not for a short time, otherwise he would think of that young woman.
A tragedy.
It's just that Zheng's death didn't cause much ripples in Luoyang Palace, let alone in Luoyang City or even the whole world.
Who would pay attention to the life and death of a harem woman?
Although Zheng Shisanniang bears the noble name of a woman with five surnames, once she enters the palace, she is just a harem woman. She doesn't even have the title of Nine Concubines, and she has no status in the palace.
Although Zheng Shisanniang once had a relationship with Wei Guogong, Wei Gong once refused Zheng's marriage, it was an anecdote at the beginning, but after a few years, Zheng became the emperor's wife, who would mention this again Woolen cloth?
Three days later.
When the Luoyang Palace was in the early court, all the officials watched Qin Lang bid farewell to the emperor in amazement.
At this time, Zheng Xuanli, a newly promoted Hanlin scholar, stepped forward to read out the edict.
Removed Qin Lang from the three positions of Yin of Henan Province, Minister of the Ministry of Inspection and Officials, and Bachelor of Imperial Academy.
The emperor ordered Qin Lang to return to Chang'an and continue to assist the prince in overseeing the country.
Qin Lang was not dismissed from the title of prime minister participating in political affairs, and he also held the three positions of Prince Zhan Shi, Prince Zuowei, and Chongxianguan Bachelor.
Many people were surprised by this sudden change, wondering whether Qin Sanlang had lost the favor of the Holy Family?
But there are also sensible people who feel that things are not that simple.
After all, if Qin Lang fell out of favor, he must be fired first, then the prince's teacher, and then other officials.
But now he is still the prime minister, and he is still the teacher of the prince, so it should be that the favor has not been lost. After all, only three days ago, another hundred households were sealed.
After Qin Lang gave his majesty's speech in the hall, Qin Qiong also followed his majesty's speech.
Qin Qiong bid farewell, but he was going to the kingdom of the vassal, and went to the secular fiefdom of Songzhou to become the vassal.
The emperor praised Qin Qiong, rewarded many slaves with money and silk, and encouraged Qin Qiong to turn Songzhou, a wild land at the foot of the snow-capped mountains, into a Ping Fan of the Tang Dynasty.
Uncle Guo's eldest grandson Wuji lowered his head, as if dozing off, but his head was turning his head crazily. He was sensitive to discover that the emperor's emotions were not very agitated recently, and now that Qin Qiong and Qin Lang were leaving Luoyang one after another, their emotions It also became less moving.
The status of the Qin family and father in the Zhenguan Dynasty is not ordinary. The leaders of the military upstarts in Shandong, and Fang Xuanling are divided into civil and military affairs. These two Licheng fellows crushed Changsun Wuji and the Guanlong Group to death. of.
Although there was a time when Changsun Wuji came out of the Guanlong Group and mixed with Shandong people every day, but now in the Zhenguan Dynasty, Changsun Wuji was inevitably regarded as the core of the Guanlong Group.
Situ, Prince Taifu Qin Qiong left the imperial court, went to Songzhou, Jiannan Road, and became a fiefdom. Qin Lang returned to Chang'an to assist the prince, and Changsun Wuji didn't know whether to say yes or no.
On the one hand, the Qin family and the eldest grandson's family have long been married, and they are both the core of the intimate princeling party united. The status of the Qin family is stable, which is a good thing for Changsun Wuji, and the status of the crown prince is also stable.
But on the other hand, the Qin family's prestige in the military is too high and their connections are too wide. Although Qin Qiong voluntarily retired in the past two years and no longer interfered in military affairs, with Li Jing's victory in the Northern Expedition, Li Jing's prestige was unparalleled for a while, and he successfully paid his respects. In fact, Qin Qiong's momentum was indeed suppressed.
After all, although Li Jing is famous, those famous military leaders in the Zhenguan Dynasty military are mainly upstarts from Shandong, and those from Wagang are the strongest.
Qin Lang, a young man, is a very likable partner, and it is easy to work with him. Now that he has returned to Chang'an, Changsun Wuji feels that he will miss him.
Even Wei Zheng, who usually impeaches Qin Lang, suddenly heard that Qin Lang and his father were going to leave, and he felt a little empty.
No matter how much he doesn't like Qin Lang, he thinks he is too young and too favored, but this kid's ability to do things is really strong. At least this time the epidemic is serious, Qin Lang has stabilized since he came from Chang'an.
Now that the imperial court is over with the epidemic, everything needs to be done by such a capable minister. As a result, Qin Lang patted his **** and wanted to return to Chang'an.
Wei Zheng didn’t think the Qin family had fallen out of favor, he just felt that the emperor paid special attention to the ability to train the prince, and the emperor trusted Qin Lang to assist the prince, so once the epidemic was under control, he had to send Qin Lang back to Chang’an to assist the prince.
Facing down and backwards.
Qin Lang hurriedly asked Zhang Chao to pack his things and prepare to leave.
Declined the guests who came to visit, regardless of whether they came to say goodbye sincerely, or just came to inquire about the news, or came to gloat, anyway, Qin Lang is not in the mood now.
Early the next morning, Qin Lang took his simple luggage and went to Qin Qiong's mansion first.
The emperor dispatched a group of soldiers to **** the couple to Chang'an.
Qin Qiong went to the fief, and also returned to Chang'an first. His route to the Songzhou fiefdom was to go to Chang'an first, then leave Guanzhong through Chencang Sanguan, pass through Fengzhou, Xingzhou, and Lizhou in Hanzhong, and then enter Shuzhong through Jianmen, heading straight to Chengdu, Yizhou, and then Go up the Minjiang River, cross the snow-capped mountains, and arrive at Songzhou.
This is a very long way.
The road to Shu is difficult, and it is difficult to go to the blue sky.
However, after all, there is still a plank road to go out of Guanguan and into Shu. The most difficult part is going out of Chengdu to the northwest, where there are continuous high mountains and snow peaks.
Qin Qiong was not picky about the fiefdom granted by the emperor, and he would accept whatever was granted by the emperor.
Earlier, the emperor hadn’t mentioned Qin Qiong’s enfeoffment, and it was Qin Qiong who offered to go to the fiefdom. Originally, Li Shimin said that Qin Qiong was not in good health, so he recuperated in Luoyang, and returned to Chang’an after autumn. As for the fiefdom, just send a housekeeper to take care of it first.
But Qin Qiong insisted on going to fief the land in person, and said that the emperor granted him the fiefdom to guard the imperial court. This is the honor and duty of a feudal hero.
Riding away from Luoyang, Qin Lang only felt that the stagnant breath in his chest was finally relieved.
These days, he feels sick all the time.
A very irritated mood is stagnant, unspeakably uncomfortable.
Qin Qiong looked at his son's appearance, but he just watched it in his eyes and put it in his heart and didn't say much.
Ten miles away from Luoyang, there are several riders blocking the road ahead.
It is Zheng Xuanli, a newly appointed Hanlin scholar.
Zheng Xuanli looked at Qin Lang sullenly.
"Why did Saburo leave in such a hurry?"
"Is Mr. Zheng busy?"
Zheng Xuanli said that he wanted to talk to Qin Lang alone, but Qin Lang didn't want to talk to him.
"Some things must be said to Saburo face to face."
Qin Lang dismounted, and the two walked aside.
"You are responsible for Thirteen Niang's death!"
Qin Lang snorted coldly, "None of my business!"
Zheng Xuanli was furious, and shouted in a low voice, "You really don't think I don't know why Thirteen Niang disappeared suddenly?"
"You know what a fart, what qualifications do you have to stand up and speak out in such a hypocritical manner? Why didn't you say so when you sold your daughter? She ended up like this today because you betrayed her back then."
"Qin Lang, don't tell me how tall you are. If you are an upright gentleman, you shouldn't have broken your relationship after Thirteen Niang entered the palace. It was you who harmed her."
"Fart your mother!"
Qin Lang was furious.
Li Shimin dared to hold his **** like this, why should the surname Zheng?
He had been holding back his anger these days, but now the Zheng surname dared to block the way and accuse him.
Qin Lang, who was extremely angry, hit him with a single punch.
At that time, Zheng Xuanli had a broken nose, and his face was covered in blood, as if a soy sauce shop had been knocked over.
Qin Lang grabbed Zheng Xuanli's skirt, "I warn you, you can eat indiscriminately, but you must not talk indiscriminately. Although Thirteen Niang has left, she has left innocently. I will never allow you to do this Slander her, and don't slander me like this."
Zheng Xuanli struggled, but his weak body was no match for Qin Lang.
Qin Lang's fists were crunching in front of him, and Zheng Xuanli's expression turned pale in shock.
Finally, Qin Lang pushed him forward and pushed him into the mud, making him covered in dust and embarrassed.
"get out!"
"The surname Qin, don't be too rampant, just wait."
"A dignified son with five surnames, or a newly-appointed Hanlin bachelor, with this level of quality? Are you threatening? Bah!"
Zheng Xuanli left in embarrassment.
Qin Qiong shook his head helplessly at his son, "Why do you need general knowledge, if you do this, the problem will be even deeper."
"Damn it, such a bastard."
Liangzi with Zheng's family is getting deeper and deeper, but Qin Lang doesn't care anymore.
"Grandpa, I have already written to the Lizhou governor, the samurai. When the time comes, I will ask him to entertain me well when I pass by Lizhou. I also ask him to help purchase some supplies, slaves, cattle and horses, etc., to facilitate supplies."
"Grandpa, your real estate yak, when the time comes, dry some more dried yaks for your son, and the dried yaks are very good for snacks."
Qin Qiong was relieved to see that he could talk and laugh again immediately.
"Okay, Grandpa, I will specialize in raising yaks in a pasture!"
The two of them rode their horses and wandered towards Chang'an, leaving all their troubles behind.
