"Uncle (Xiao Jien) is not of the Xiao family's blood." Xiao Wencai, who was in a mixed situation, found out the matter with great difficulty.
Seeing the troubled look on his face, Gao Xianning felt that this matter might be a bit serious. He quickly wrote a line of words, then picked up his pen and waited there. Zhang Sheng and Du Erlang were both attracted and stared at Xiao Wencai intently. Only Yao Fang was still thinking hard about something.
Xiao Wencai was silent for a long time, and finally continued, "My grandfather had been married for several years and had no children. He took a concubine and still had no children. The Wang family and the Xiao family have been friends for several generations. At that time, the Wang family already had the eldest son, so they The second son was adopted by the Xiao family and his surname was changed to Xiao Jien. Later, my grandfather gave birth to a biological son, who became my father."
Gao Xianning suddenly said, "
At three o'clock in the middle of the night, the huge capital city had already quieted down, leaving only stars-like lights shining on the night sky. A burst of rapid horse hoofbeats startled the soldiers guarding the city gate and broke the silence at the moment.All the soldiers hurriedly stood in the middle of the road to stop him.I saw more than twenty riders coming, all wearing bloated green clothes. In this late spring, it was very strange to wear such thick clothes. There must be battle armor underneath the clothes! They also wore black cloaks and hats on their heads; some of them even had pale masks on their faces, looking as scary as ghosts.Seeing this scene, the defenders immediately drew their swords! A general pressed his sword and shouted, "Stop! What are you doing?"A man in black said coldly, "Zhang Sheng, the commander of the Jin Yiwei, has been ordered to leave the city.""Seal!" said the general.Zhang Sheng, who was dre
"It's him!" Zhu Gaoxu cursed and walked back and forth in the East Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace. Apart from him, there was only one eunuch, Wang Gui, in the partition, so he cursed again, "Yao Fang is not even as good as the underworld!"In his previous life, Zhu Gaoxu had dealt with gangsters because of gambling and debts. Even those bad guys usually acted in a methodical way, and usually stood on the position of right and wrong, saying: You don't pay your debts, you don't know the rules, you don't give face...etc., to gain confidence first, and then do illegal and violent things!Yao Fang was different. She had a clear chance of winning and was the most powerful opponent, but she had to cover herself with a bowl of shit first! She also covered Zhu Gaoxu with a bowl of shit!Zhu Gaoxu cursed, "When I was a vassal king, I had an army of 100,000. I had to be patient when I had to. I was not as arrogant as Yao Fang!"Wang Gui carefully echoed, "How c
Gao Xianning walked out of the gatehouse of Xiao's inner house. He walked for a while in the corridor of the courtyard and looked at the people in the courtyard. There were tables and banquets everywhere in the courtyard, but the guests at the tables had long since stopped eating. They all looked panicked and sat in their original places. There were also many soldiers standing around to watch over them."Where is Yao Fang, the commander-in-chief of the Embroidered Uniform Guard?" Gao Xianning asked loudly.The soldiers and guests all turned their heads and looked over, all confused.Gao Xianning asked the soldiers loudly again, "Did anyone else quietly escape from the yard just now?"A military general stepped forward and clasped his fists, saying, "Your Majesty, our brothers have guarded the entire courtyard, and no one has escaped!"After a while, a soldier hurriedly walked in from outside the gate. The soldier stepped forward and clasped his f
The quaint town of Jishui County, with its old earthen-walled houses and worn-out stone floors, all looked as if they had been repeatedly soaked in water. Under the gloomy sky, the light was already dimming as evening approached.In a drug store, a middle-aged man in a robe stroked the hem of his robe and sat down on a chair. His hands were very steady, and he slowly put a pad on the guest's wrist, then gently stretched out his fingers to accurately feel the pulse. Apparently he not only sells medicinal materials, but can also sit in court and prescribe prescriptions.At this moment, several hurried figures passed by outside the hall door. In this quiet and lifeless little town, everyone is usually relatively leisurely, but it seems like something happened.The middle-aged man first took a look at the stone floor outside the door. It was very dry and showed no sign of rain."Please wait a moment, sir." The middle-aged man said politely, stood up quickl
In the second year of Jianwen, Xiao Jie'en became the second "Ma Gong". After he took over the affairs of the traitors in Beiping, he quickly showed his outstanding talents.At that time, a monk named "Xukong" had been arrested. He was an important person who knew the names of many spies in Peking! The people planted by the court in Peking were in danger of being caught in one fell swoop.Xiao Jie'en immediately formulated a plan to cut off Xu Kong's arm, which was fully supported by the emperor's teacher Huang Zicheng and the imperial censor Jing Qing. So Xiao Jie'en issued a secret order in the name of "Ma Gong": to order Zhang Yan, the bookkeeper of the Prince of Yan's Palace, to assassinate Xu Kong and then commit suicide to protect other spies!In order to ensure that things went smoothly, Xiao Jie'en threatened Zhang Yan's entire family and promised to bring Zhang Yan's son (later Wang Yin) back to the capital and raise him to adulthood.This str
The desire to survive is probably one of the strongest instincts of human beings.Xiao Jie'en believed that Wang Gou'er had enough reasons to kill Zhu Di; Wang Gou'er was happy to see Zhu Di die! However, after Xiao Jie'en made his plan, Wang Gou'er actually backed down and was reluctant to take action!Therefore, the implementation of the plan was delayed for a long time.At that time, Xiao Jie'en had already received news from Wang that the Jinyiwei had decided to continue investigating the people related to Wang Gen! Given time, the Xiao family would be implicated!The situation was very urgent. If Xiao Jie'en continued to delay, he might be wanted first, making revenge even more difficult. Xiao Jie'en had no choice but to use Wang Yin to threaten Miao Jin again; at the same time, he hurriedly tried to find a way to get revenge from Wang Gou'er.Xiao Jie'en thought clearly about Wang Gou'er's situation from beginning to end. He believed that W
At this time in the capital, the palace had spread the news that all military officials would be conferred the title of "Fighting Crimes in Obeying Heaven and Advocating Loyalty".The emperor first revealed the matter of rewarding according to merit, precisely for the purpose of "discussing merit". When everyone rewards, there are always differences in thickness, and the palace first sounded out the opinions of the generals, perhaps it would be more convincing.These days, some are happy and some are sad...At the Liu residence, white cloth and white banners were hung, and even the couplets on the gate were replaced with black words on white paper. The Taoist priests in the central hall played music and chanted scriptures to pray for the souls of the dead; paper money was scattered inside and outside the central hall, and the incense, candles and paper money in the yard were burning with smoke, just like in a temple. The Taoist priests' method of praying for
In the orange-red morning glow, the sound of drums in the distance awakens the magnificent imperial city and the buildings in the grand capital. The drums at the hour of Mao seem to remind people that a new day has arrived.However, the new Ming emperor Zhu Gaoxu had already started taking action.There was a large area between Bei'an Gate in the north of the imperial city and Xuanwu Gate in the imperial palace. The Yulin Left Guard and the Fujun Left Guard were stationed in the east, and the Yulin Right Guard was stationed in the west.Zhu Gaoxu led more than a thousand people to run in a line in the area where the Yulin Youwei was deployed; in the area to the east, there were another thousand people running there.These more than 2,000 people are all military generals, the lowest level being a centurion, and they were all elite troops before the "Crime-Suppressing Army" entered Guangxi.Zhu Gaoxu required these generals to run six or seven mile
