Chapter 124 Qin Family Exile

Chapter 124

The emperor has passed away? !

Lv Desheng stood up involuntarily, looking at the direction of the palace, and said sadly, "Your Majesty, have a good journey, go back to heaven and be your Taiqing Zhenren."

He did not sleep that night, and it should be said that almost all the officials and families in the capital did not sleep. No one expected that they would welcome not only the dawn in the morning, but also the news of Emperor Kang Cheng's death.

Xie Zhan looked at the direction of the imperial city with joy. Last night, Emperor Kang Cheng asked the Jinwu Guard to order so many ministers to be buried with him, and he guessed that he would not live long. When he went, the dark clouds above his head finally dissipated, and he, Xie Zhan, would lead the Xie family into a new era.

As soon as the funeral dragon bell rang and the Jinwu Guards withdrew, Zhao Wenkuan of the Zhao family also breathed a sigh of relief. From last night to early morning, all of them in the Zhao family had not slept all night, and now it was obvious that they had escaped.

God knows how panicked he was when the Xie family was in trouble! Didn't his daughter's predictive dream work? She clearly said that the Xie family was fine from beginning to end.

Later, when he found out which ministers were buried with him, he was very glad that after being impeached by Lv Desheng and demoted by half a level, he realized that he was not favored by Emperor Kang Cheng, so he became more obedient and stopped jumping around to get in the emperor's eyes. It was probably because of this that Emperor Kang Cheng didn't think of him. He managed to survive.

When the sound of the funeral bell faded away, the ministers came to their senses. It seemed that the emperor had not yet appointed a crown prince? So the ministers changed into court clothes and rushed to the palace.

Lv Desheng also changed into new court clothes and planned to see Emperor Kang Cheng for the last time.

The Jinwu Guards were evacuating from the city gates and important streets.

"Go back and change your clothes before coming to the office." Lin Ran instructed.

Sheng Huaian looked at him puzzledly. Aren't they done? "Commander, the brothers have been busy all night, can you at least let us take a break during the day?" If they haven't finished the work, they can continue to work, there is no need for him to go back and change clothes before coming.

"Just do what you are told to do, why so much nonsense." Lin Ran said unhappily, and he still had a secret order in his hand.

Okay, you are the commander and you have the final say!

Sheng Huaixing returned home and happened to meet his stupid brother.

"It smells so bloody!" Sheng Huaian kept backing away from him, looking disgusted.

"Is there?" He didn't notice it.

"Brother, how many people did you kill last night?" Sheng Huaian was curious.

"You don't want to know." He said as he walked towards his yard, and Sheng Huaian followed.

When he entered his bedroom, his stupid brother wanted to follow him in, but he was locked outside the door.

Sheng Huaian was waiting outside bored. After a while, he saw his brother came out after changing clothes. He looked at him and walked out. "Brother, are you going out?"

"Yeah."

Sheng Huaian looked at him with admiration. "Brother, you are really amazing. You work day and night. Even the donkeys at the entrance of the village don't work so hard."

Sheng Huaixing gave him a slap on the forehead. "Recently, Chang'an City has been very stormy. Stay at home and don't go out." Stupid brother.

When Sheng Huaixing arrived, Lin Ran had already changed into a clean standard commander's uniform and was waiting. Next to him stood the Minister of Finance Wu Yuchun.

"Let's go to the Qin family!" Lin Ran said. They changed clothes to show respect for the loyal and brave Qin family.

Sheng Huaixing: He knew it.

Qin family

Soon after the funeral bell rang, Qin's third sister-in-law Nie Yunniang gave birth to a daughter safely. The Qin family was mixed with sadness and joy.

Just then, the doorman came to report that the Jinwu Guards had arrived.

The Qin family looked at each other. What was coming was bound to come. They had previously speculated that after their father Qin Yue had taken on such a big responsibility for the Qin family, no one in their Qin family would die. With this speculation, they were not afraid.

When Lin Ran brought people to the Qin family, they found that the Qin family opened the door to welcome guests directly.

Qin Heng brought Qin Sanlang and Qin Sheng to greet everyone at the door, "Commander Lin, Deputy Commander Sheng, everyone, please come in."

Lin Ran nodded and said nothing more.

When they arrived at the main courtyard of the Qin family, all the Qin family members stood there.

Lin Ran raised the imperial edict in his hand and said, "The late emperor's will! Madam Qin, Prince Qin, everyone, kneel down to receive it!"

The Qin family members knelt down.

"The Emperor, in accordance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: Qin Yue, Marquis of Pingxi, is the general of the northern border and has the responsibility to protect the peace of the border. However, he failed to do his job and failed to detect the movements of the elite Qiang and Hu people, which resulted in the death of the crown prince at the hands of the Qiang and Hu people, causing the loss of the country and the turmoil of the country. His crime is extremely serious!

In consideration of his and the Qin family's past merits, his title of Marquis of Pingxi and General Zhenbei is retained: his sons, heirs, wives and daughters are exempted from the death penalty, all official positions of the male members of the Qin family and all imperial edicts of the female members are dismissed: the Qin family is exiled to Pingzhou, all the family property in the mansion is confiscated into the national treasury, the whole family is confined to the prison, and an order is issued to set off on a chosen day. Imperially granted!"

Lv Songli listened calmly. The Qin family could not escape the fate of exile, and the place of exile was also within her expectations, the northeast.

The northwest has always been the location of the Qin family's garrison. Who knows how many relatives and old subordinates there are? Who knows how many people have received the Qin family's favor. Emperor Kang Cheng would never exile the Qin family to the northwest.

The southeast and southwest each have their own problems, such as the hot and humid climate and miasma, witchcraft, etc., which will make northerners extremely uncomfortable and even cause casualties.

The Qin family will fight. Now the four borders of the Great Dawn are not peaceful. Emperor Kang Cheng still wants to use the Qin family, so he naturally does not want the Qin family to be wiped out. The journey of exile is already difficult. If there are still a lot of problems to overcome at the cost of life when you arrive at the exile place, it is a bit contrary to his original intention.

So it is easy to understand why Emperor Kang Cheng would choose Pingzhou in the northeast as the exile place for the Qin family.

Moreover, Pingzhou is east of Youzhou, facing the sea in the south, Lelang County in the east, Goguryeo in the northeast, and a large area of ​​Xianbei territory in the northwest. The territory is very small. If the mouth of Youzhou is controlled, Pingzhou can be contained.

Emperor Kang Cheng is also guarding against the Qin family.

After Lin Ran finished announcing the will of the late emperor, Wu Yuchun was eager to try and was ready to take over all the property of the Qin Mansion.

Qin Heng asked politely, "Commander Lin, can we pack up?"

Lin Ran: "Yes, but only for two quarters of an hour."

"Thank you."

"You can't take any property away!" Wu Yuchun, the Minister of Finance, emphasized on the side.

"Don't worry."

"Master Wu can go to take over the warehouse first." When Lin Ran said this, he glanced at Qin Heng.

Qin Heng understood and asked the steward to bring the key to the warehouse.

Lu Songli pulled Qin Sheng and ran to their yard.

Back in the bedroom, Lu Songli quickly took off the various hairpins on her head, and then inserted three wooden hairpins on them, and took off the jade bracelets and gold bracelets on her hands. After thinking about it, she only wore a chicken wing wood bracelet on her left hand.

These were all prepared by her before, and she specially invited craftsmen from other places to make them. As soon as the father and son were finished, she sent them far away from Chang'an City.

Then she began to change her clothes. The clothes she wore inside were mainly comfortable and warm. She picked clothes that were not eye-catching. She put on a half-new long coat outside, and took a headscarf in her hand to wrap her head.

They will be imprisoned soon, so they must take good warming measures. Moreover, she felt that with the stingy nature of Lord Wu, he would definitely not want them to continue wearing the good clothes on their bodies, and he would even check whether they had stolen any property from the mansion.

After she had done her job, she pulled Qin Sheng over and changed his clothes first, putting on the clothes she brought with her, which were inconspicuous and warm.

Lu Songli's movements were very fast, and before Qin Sheng could react, she stripped him of his clothes. When he put on his clothes later, Qin Sheng did it by himself.

She finally took off the jade crown on his head for hairpins, and quickly took out a wooden hairpin for his hairpin. At the same time, she also put a chicken wing wood bracelet on his hand.

Qin Sheng didn't understand.

"Wear it, don't lose it." As long as they told the public that the couple wore the same wooden bracelet, which was their token of love, others would not be too suspicious.

Seeing that the time was up, Lu Songli and the others had to rush back to the main courtyard, and she instructed Qin Sheng to bring a rattan basket. In the basket were some children's clothes, which looked half-old, but very warm.
