The mighty foot horses and honor guards went all the way south, and the emperor was in a four-horse cart, and he was busy when he was on the road. Countless speeches, forces from all over the world, and all kinds of people to be treated separately, Zhu Di has just been on the throne for a month, and he is already very tired.

There was no smile on his face, as if he had just become emperor and was not as happy as he imagined......

After a large number of people arrived in Beijing, Zhu Gaoxu received an edict from the emperor asking him to move to the mansion where King Yan lived before, which was the house where their brother lived when he was confined in Beijing in the early years of Jianwen. This is what Princess Xu meant, saying that Gao Xu is going to get married, and many people have just died in Lianying's mansion, and it is unlucky to live there.

However, there were originally some slaves and maids in the Yanwang Mansion, and Zhu Gaoxu was inconvenient to drive away those slaves and maids, but he didn't know their details.

…… There are mountains and rivers in Beijing, gather the wealth of the world and endow it in a city, it is extremely rich, and the temples and pavilions can be seen everywhere. It is the season of spring flowers, weeping willows, and a hundred flowers are blooming. It was originally a beautiful scenery, but at this time, the city was faintly gloomy and murderous.

Two months ago, the palace was the residence of Emperor Jianwen, and now it has become the residence of the new monarch and his family. For a while, the palace was still relatively chaotic, and each palace had to be rearranged and selected.

Miaojin didn't enter the palace for the time being, and went home first, she also wanted to see her long-lost mother.

She was in the same car with Jingqing, and as soon as she arrived at the door, she smelled a pungent stench!

When Miaojin got out of the car, he saw a lot of feces and unknown filth at the door, and there was unknown blood splashed on the door panel, and two big words were scribbled on it: traitor!

Jing Qing's face turned blue after he came down, and his eyes swept over the red letters on the door. The attendants silently went up and knocked on the closed corner door.

At this moment, a robed scholar suddenly came out of a corner of the wall and spat in this direction: "Traitor! Greedy for life and afraid of death, soft bones, full of loyalty and morality, and a hypocrite! ”

"Stop!" One of the attendants yelled. But the gentleman slipped away from him. Jing Qing said: "Come back, enter the door!" ”

Miao Jin gently covered her mouth and nose and followed her father into the mansion. Mrs. Jing came up, and when everyone saw each other, Mrs. Jing grabbed Miaojin's hand and kept wiping her tears with a handkerchief. The atmosphere in the house was very heavy, and they were silent to each other.

"Mother, what's wrong with your forehead?" Miaojin reached out and stroked Mrs. Jing's head, and saw a bruise on it.

Mrs. Jing covered it with her hand and said, "It's nothing, it's almost good, it's just that I am blamed for many things." A while ago, Huang Zicheng was Ling Chi at the entrance of the city, and it took three days and three nights to die of pain! I quietly took a look at the carriage, but I was recognized, and a group of people from nowhere overturned the carriage, and I fell......"

As soon as the group entered the house, Mrs. Jing said again: "The families of many ministers in the court are too miserable, and there are some unmarried daughters who have been stripped naked and sent to the barracks, and they are humiliated and wantonly abused by those sergeants day and night......" Mrs. Jing glanced at Jing Qing, "If I am from their family, I might as well die!" ”

"Humph!" Jing Qing had an angry expression on his face and didn't say anything.

Mrs. Jing continued to say beside her: "Huang Zicheng's wife, Xu, I know her, and I heard that there are twenty men guarding her every day......"

"You don't have to say it, the old man knows it." Jing Qing finally couldn't listen anymore, "Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai, and Fang Xiaoru were originally the ones who advocated cutting the feudal domain, but now that they have failed, they will definitely not be able to get rid of their crimes, what's so strange?" ”

"It's not just them, there are also people such as Bang Zhao, Lian Zining, Lian Ying and others. I heard that there are still people who will continue to be punished, and now the officialdom of Beijing is panicking, and I don't know when it will be my turn to be unlucky. Mrs. Jing sighed, and she asked hesitantly and cautiously, "Did the husband agree with Fang Xiaoru and Lian Ying to be martyred?" ”

Jing Qing frowned and did not answer.

Mrs. Jing said with a worried face: "No wonder so many people are insulting our family, and now the people in the house don't even dare to go out." ”

Miaojin observed her father's expression carefully, and she wondered: Did her father hesitate when he heard so many tragic things? Maybe there was hesitation and wavering, although my father had a humble family background since he was a child, he had been studying and had not suffered much, and later he had been prosperous and wealthy for many years, how could he not have the idea of being greedy?

However, Miao Jin knows what her father values most......

Jingqing got up and said, "The old man still has something to do." Then he walked out of the room and went straight to the study.

Miaojin didn't give up yet, and she didn't care about being old with her mother, so she hurriedly followed.

She followed the study, walked up to her father, and said tentatively: "Dad, except for those ministers who presided over the cutting of the feudal domain, most of the civil and military forces in the court have surrendered. People like Yang Rong and Jian Yi took the initiative to surrender, and Xia Yuanji was deeply favored and reused by Jianwenjun, and he also surrendered quickly. But no one scolded them......"

"Humph!" Jing Qing had a disgusted expression on his face.

Seeing this, Miaojin's heart sank, and she continued to say softly: "During the Jianwen Dynasty, my father's powerful official position was not as good as Xia Yuanji's, why was my father alone being twisted and held on?" Because of one thing, my father agreed to martyrdom with Fang Xiaoru and Lian Ying, but neither of them surrendered, but my father surrendered......"

As soon as Miao Jin saw the filth at the gate just now, she understood: The resentment of the world is not the minister of Jianwen, but hypocrisy!

Outsiders don't know about Jing Qing, and even King Yan thinks that Jing Qing has really surrendered...... But Jing Qing said too many loyal and honest words, and shouted that he would be martyred by himself; Under the contrast between words and deeds, because of misunderstanding him and thinking that he is hypocritical and shameless, the world will spurn him!

Jing Qing is such a face-saving and famous person, even if he is really frightened at a certain moment and hesitates to retreat, he can't turn back!

Miaojin figured out this section, and said quietly: "Fang Xiaoru and Lian Ying are dead, and there is no proof of death, my father can try to deny that agreement, so it is a rumor......"

"Shut up!" Jing Qing scolded in a deep voice.

He walked around impatiently, took a deep breath, and suddenly calmed down: "The old man understands it." Daughter, you have been in Peking for a few years, and I don't know who you have bewitched, and the original intention of thinking about things has deviated.

You only see the people around you, and you feel that people's lives and your own family are important. But they have forgotten the teachings of the sages, and have forgotten the essence of killing oneself and sacrificing one's life for righteousness! ”

Jing Qing said earnestly: "There is something more important in this world than life, that is, righteousness, and Mencius has taught the world. The daughter must be able to distinguish which is more important. ”

Miaojin suddenly fell silent, even if her father was not angry and debated calmly, she really couldn't say anything about her father, so her father could be admitted to the Jinshi ......

At this moment, Jing Qing turned around and said with a firm expression: "That matter, the old man will do it himself!" On that day, you will go first with your mother, so that you will not be dishonored like Tie Xuan's wife. ”

He stared at Miaojin's face, waiting for her to answer. Miaojin's face was a little pale, but she still bowed her head slightly.

Seeing this, Jing Qing nodded with satisfaction, and he was still pacing back and forth in the study, sometimes bowing his head in contemplation, sometimes staring out the window, as if he was thinking hard about a good plan and planning to assassinate!

Miaojin had tried her best, and at this time she had completely given up the idea of persuading her father to turn back. His father was full of poetry and books, and no one could convince him in a few words.

She went to her boudoir and sat down in front of the window, in a daze.

In the last few moments, she felt that she should take a few more glances at the beauty of this world. At this moment, she suddenly realized that she still had a lot of things she wanted to do, but she didn't do...... She used to think that she was very young and had many years to go, but now she realized that life is short and fleeting.

The light red peach blossoms in the courtyard were falling, there were petals everywhere, and there was a faint fragrance in the air, Miaojin closed her eyes and breathed in the breath attentively. She squinted lazily again, looking up to feel the warmth and brilliance of spring, the bright and warm world, it turned out to be really good...... A deep voice seemed to be narrating in her ear: Wait, little aunt, look more, you will find that the world is very big and beautiful, and there are many things to be nostalgic about.

Then she began to rummage through old objects, handwriting, and clothes and small things in the box, slowly recalling the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of the past 18 years. Occasionally she would be sad, occasionally she would cover her mouth and smile, but she didn't expect that there were so many interesting things in that dusty place, and she hadn't remembered it for a long time.

In this way, you can not only prepare for a death, but also do not have to suffer a long time before death like other ministers' families.

When Miaojin sat in front of the bronze mirror, she saw the face with red lips and white teeth in the bronze mirror, and her face was clear and delicate when she was close; Behind him, the falling flowers and antique carved windows are hazy. The picture in the bronze mirror is very beautiful even to myself.

She looked at the people in the mirror, made various postures and demeanors, straightened her snow-white neck for a while, straightened her full chest, brushed her hands from her collarbone down to her plump skin, and held her soft and slender waist, Miaojin couldn't help but sigh faintly for a while.

She even thinks she is beautiful, but unfortunately, it will soon come to naught, and now she can only admire herself. So suddenly, Miaojin had a very unwilling mind in her heart, and she felt a little sorry for herself.

In the haze, Miaojin seemed to see a pair of attentive eyes, secretly looking behind her and admiring her in the inner house of King Yan's mansion. There seemed to be all kinds of amazement and salivation in his eyes......

Miaojin's face turned red, it turned out that she was very uncomfortable, but now she said in her heart: All he saw was a coarse sermon robe, wide and thick, covering the most beautiful places.

The more she thought about it, the more ashamed she became, and her ears felt hot, and she spat on herself from time to time, and those who hadn't left the cabinet were so shameless. But from time to time, I think that now, if someone can find out this beauty, remember her beauty, and let all this live in someone's heart, it will be a little less regrettable.
