Outside the government hall, Zhang Yang looked at the three coffins in front of him. He was not afraid of the long-dead corpses, but he just felt something was wrong, so he turned his neck stiffly.
Eunuch Liu stood leaning against the door, cleared his throat, "Your Highness Fifth, the emperor is still waiting in the hall, and His Highness Fifth please open the coffin."
Zhang Yang turned his head, and his face became gloomy. His father's behavior was not trust, but he was obviously afraid of danger. He was pushed out, and he was also a son, just because he hadn't been raised by his side since he was a child, so he took a step back and pursed his lips. , "Open the coffin."
The guards, who were already guarding, pried open the coffin with a coffin-opening tool, and a rotten smell spread out when the coffin was opened.
Zhang Yang covered his mouth and nose, waited for a while to see that the guards were all well, and then motioned for them to go and check.
Eunuch Liu saw that the little eunuch was looking carefully and nodded. Eunuch Liu stepped forward in person. When he reached the coffin, he widened his eyes, then quickly walked back and pushed open the gate of the government hall.
Eunuch Liu said: "Your Majesty, one of the three coffins is empty, with only clothes in it, and the other one is a pregnant woman, and the bulge of the abdomen can still be seen in the rotten clothes."
The emperor stood up and was able to confirm that it was not a trap. He planned to go and see for himself, "Go, take me there."
The prince insisted on being careful, "Father, let Wu Zuo take a look for himself."
The emperor thought for a while and sat down again, and said to Eunuch Liu: "Wait for Wu Zuo to come and clean up the funeral things."
Eunuch Liu, "Yes."
In Zhoujia Village, Changzhi stood under the eaves and worried. It seemed that the day was leaking. It had been raining heavily for two days. "I don't know when the rain will stop."
Su Xuan was also worried, "This year is really not a good year."
Changzhi sighed, "Yes."
I was very happy when it rained heavily at the beginning, but the ground was still short of water, and now I hope the rain will stop.
Su Xuan looked at the continuous stream of rainwater, "Fortunately, Housekeeper Ding has always had the habit of storing it. The firewood at home is enough for burning, and the water is also enough."
Chang Zhi said: "I have never seen such a heavy rain since I was a child. Fortunately, the river here is a small river, and the terrain is also high so there is no fear of flooding."
Su Xuan nodded, "My hometown is indeed a good place for geomantic omen."
Changzhi was thinking about the capital again, "I don't know if it's raining in the capital, but it would be nice if it rained in the capital area."
Su Xuan is in her hometown, but her supervisors often send letters. This year's weather is abnormal. Her Zhuangzi in the south of the Yangtze River has been raining continuously this year, and the Zhuangzi near the capital has suffered from drought. She knows that the drought in the capital area is a bit serious as the temperature continues to rise.
In the capital, Zhulan received a letter from Lizhou. It rained in Lizhou. Although the drought has not been alleviated, the situation is good. It's just that the orchard can keep the fruit trees. This year's production can't be counted on.
Wu Chun also said that foreigners along the border have also suffered from drought, and the border area is not stable.
Zhulan pursed her lips, and continued, without food, there would be wars along the border.
Xuemei saw her mother frowning, "Mother, is the situation in Lizhou not good?"
Zhulan put away the letter, "The situation in Lizhou is okay."
Xuemei saw that her mother didn't say much, so she stopped asking, and said with a smile: "There are a lot of wells near the capital, and my parents-in-law said that the people nearby are grateful for the emperor's kindness."
The bamboo orchid has a slight smile, and it will not be out of production if it is irrigated with water. "Last year was a bumper harvest year, and every family had surplus grain. They can survive for a while. When the grain bought comes back, even if the production is reduced, they can get some relief food. .”
Xuemei no longer expects to earn money from the land she bought, but only hopes to have more food. "The imperial court provides enough food for the people, and the people know that if people have thoughts, they will be united even if there is a drought."
Zhulan smiled and nodded, both the emperor and the prince are Mingjun.
In the palace, Wu Zuo has carefully checked and reported: "The man's leg bones were broken and his spine was also cracked. He should have fallen to his death. The pregnant woman's belly is not a child. Opening the rotten clothes is a rotten pillow. The death of the pregnant woman should be due to hemorrhage." .”
Fortunately, the bones are still intact, otherwise I wouldn't be able to tell.
The string of beads in the emperor's hand turned faster,
Made a fake belly, fake belly to cover up people's eyes and ears, so the child is still alive, if it is dead, there should be the child's bones, grasping the beads, "Can you check carefully?"
The assistant is confident in his own experience, he is the best assistant, "Reporting to the emperor, I checked very carefully, and I can't make mistakes."
The emperor motioned for him to continue, and then looked at the tray. On the tray were the funeral objects that had been cleaned up. The jade pendant was the most conspicuous. The emperor took the jade pendant, but there were no lines on the corners. It was the jade pendant of a male descendant. Yupei, this is a pair of jade pendants. He heard from his mother that married couples in the first branch have a pair of jade pendants, and the coffins are the couples who escaped from the first branch of the Rong family.
As for the other vacant tomb, he didn't think that he would take the servants with him when he escaped, so there were still people alive, but he didn't know whether it was a man or a woman.
The emperor frowned, and he didn't know if he was alive now, or if he was still alive in the ten years of war. Too many people died in the ten years of war, and soldiers and bandits slaughtered too many villages and towns. He was right, but no!
King Qi and the others watched their father's face change, and they dared not breathe.
The emperor closed his eyes. If he didn't find it, there was hope. He opened his eyes and said, "The king of Liang accepts the order."
King Liang felt bitter, he really didn't want to investigate anymore, so he had to bite the bullet and stepped forward, "My son is here."
"I order you to set off for the Northeast today, and check every inch for me. I want to see people alive and dead bodies."
King Liang, "...Yes."
At this critical moment, he didn't want to leave Beijing, he didn't want to, his father even sent him out of Beijing! !
Regardless of whether King Liang was struck by lightning or not, King Qi raised his head and looked at the pillars of the government hall. His father told the fourth child clearly, you should rest your mind!
The King of Chu was calm. He didn't think that he would be unwilling before he left. Now there are few turmoil in his heart. He just doesn't know if the fourth child will give up. Probably not.
The prince stared at the fourth child coldly. This opportunity was for the sake of his father. He gave it to him. If the fourth child does not seize the opportunity, the prince has murderous intent in his eyes. The fourth child has raised a lot of people and has already broken through His bottom line.
The emperor glanced at the prince from the corner of his eye, the prince felt it, raised his head and smiled gently.
The emperor withdrew his gaze and sighed in his heart, "Fourth brother, you should leave Beijing tomorrow."
Liang Wang looked at his father unwillingly, and finally lost the battle, pursing his lips, "Yes."
King Qi really felt his father's love, and his father also loved them, but Jiang Shang was more important, and inheritance was more important.
In Zhoujia Village, the torrential rain finally stopped in the afternoon, but the mountain collapsed.
Ming Qing rushed over, "Uncle Changzhi, the collapsed place on the mountain is very close to your family's ancestral grave."
Chang Zhi stood up fiercely, the ancestral grave, the ancestral grave of their family for several generations!
