Yuezhaoyingan

Chapter 5

Ling Yu's mother's family, the Ye family, was originally the most honorable family in Beijing. It has protected the country for generations. His grandfather Ye Liang, the old general, was a soldier all his life. His son, Ye Lang, guards the southeast and holds a heavy army. He has a high prestige in the army. .And Ye Xin, the youngest daughter of the Ye family, succeeded to the queen in her early years. What is even more rare is that Emperor Cheng and Empress Ye are very affectionate, and she gave birth to the third son of the emperor, Ling Yu, the only son of the Yuanhe Dynasty.

For a while, the Ye family was in the limelight, because most of the honorable families in Jingzhong looked up to the Ye family, and at that time, most of the Yuanhe courts served in the Jingzhong family.

At that time, the Jiang family in Longnan was still a small local family that was declining day by day, but there was a young son, Meiyu, who was unparalleled in the world—Jiang Qi.As a young representative of a newly promoted family, as soon as he entered the official position, he was highly appreciated and reused by Emperor Cheng for his extraordinary insights into military and political affairs, and quickly occupied a place in the military department.Later, he even got Emperor Cheng to marry Ye Liang's granddaughter Ye Zhixin, and the Jiang and Ye families married Qin and Jin, which became a good talk in Beijing.

But no matter how talented Jiang Qi is in military and political affairs, he cannot compare to Ye Lang who has been on the battlefield all year round. Therefore, when people talk about Jiang Qi, they always have some regrets.

Moreover, the two have become sons-in-law. Outsiders thought that Ye Lang should support Jiang Qi, but people with a discerning eye can see that Jiang Qi is actually not as proud as before, and even faintly intends to leave the military headquarters.

There are unpredictable things in the sky, and misfortunes and fortunes come in an instant.

The border friction between Yuanhe and Fengtian was not a big deal at all, but that year the Fengtian army was faintly menacing, Ye Lang sensed something was wrong, and personally led the troops to block Fengtian in Zechuan City.After several times of deliberation and deployment, he wanted to bring his own soldiers to surprise attack, but he was ambushed on the way. Ye Lang and his own soldiers were all intercepted and killed, resulting in the defeat of the war all the way, and Yuanhe lost two cities in a row.

When the bad news came, General Ye's face was ashen, but he still wanted to put on his armor and go into battle to regain the lost ground for Yuanhe.Emperor Cheng sympathized with the pain of Ye Liang's loss of his son and was already old. After pondering for a moment, he wanted to hand over the military power to Jiang Qi.

Jiang Qi was indeed talented in military affairs, and soon took back the two cities, and Fengtian didn't like fighting, so he negotiated peace and retreated.After Jiang Qi returned to the court, he also became the head of the military department, replacing Ye Lang and supporting the Jiang and Ye family's glory.

It didn't take long for an impeachment document to accuse Jiang's family of arrogance due to their military exploits, lax management of the family, and connivance of slaves to usurp other people's farmland.

Emperor Cheng wanted the officials of the Ministry of Punishments to investigate the matter thoroughly, but he didn't want to do so, implicating this servant as a Fengtian person.

The matter became serious, and it was transferred from the Ministry of Punishments to the hands of the Military Department, and the person in the Military Department who handled the case at that time was Qin Rong, the current Prime Minister of Yuanhe Chaotang—at that time, he was just an inconspicuous number of deputies in the Military Department one.

Afterwards, Jiang's mansion was investigated, and a large number of correspondence with Fengtian was found. The details of some military fortresses and the analysis of Ye Lang's marching deployment were all in Jiang Qi's handwriting. This letter was Jiang Qi's betrayal of Ye Lang for Ironclad evidence of power.

Emperor Cheng was furious, and the entire Jiang family was placed under house arrest.

Collaborating with the enemy and treason is extraordinary, let alone breaking Yuan and Ye Lang, the god of war.

The Ye family's vitality was greatly injured by Ye Lang's incident, and they thought that Jiang Qi could continue to shine in the family, but they didn't want the situation to take a turn for the worse.

Now that the Jiang family is collaborating with the enemy and treason, and because of Ye Zhixin's marriage into the Jiang family, the Ye family is suffering from the enemy, and it is too late to distinguish between each other's grievances, but it is rumored that Jiang Qi killed the guards and kidnapped Qin Rong to try to escape. Ye Zhixin threw herself into the flames and committed suicide together.

A fire burned the Jiang mansion to nothing. Qin Rong wrote to the court that Jiang Qi committed suicide in fear of crime. The letters were detailed, witnesses and testimonies were all available, and the evidence was conclusive.

However, what made the Ye family even worse was that Empress Ye was shocked to hear that her brother had died in battle, and then the Jiang family colluded with the enemy, and her niece was buried in the sea of ​​fire.However, Old General Ye Liang sent white-haired people to black-haired people many times in just a few months, and the healthy and healthy people suddenly became old.

The Ye family suffered from this change, and other offshoot clans were not in good standing. Emperor Cheng mourned and passed away after Ye Hou, and also gave more consolation to the Ye family offshoots, leaving the Ye clan honorable and dignified.

It's just that after the military power is taken back, the Ye family is no longer a climate.

Everyone in the court said that Jiang Qi had deep thoughts, and tried every means to marry Ye Zhixin, the jewel in the palm of the Ye family, but Ye Lang did not favor her. In the end, for the sake of power, he even included his wife's mother's family.However, some people in the know ridiculed that Ye Zhixin was just the adopted daughter of the Ye family, and there was nothing to be reluctant to her mother's family who had no blood relationship. It was important to become a genius in one step. Jiang Qi's death was not a pity, but it was a pity that the Ye family was implicated by him.

But Ling Yu knew that Jiang Qi never married Ye Zhixin for the sake of power.

Ye Zhixin lived with Ye Lang in Longnan for a few years when she was young, and Jiang Qi was five years older than her, so she was childhood sweetheart with her for a period of time.When they met again, Jiang Qi was already an extremely personable minister, and he was the head of the family at a young age. The hard work was self-evident, but in front of Ye Zhixin, he was so real.

After they got married, in order to avoid suspicion, Jiang Qi mentioned more than once that he wanted to gradually withdraw from military and political affairs. Although Ye Lang was serious with him outside, but in the few reunions, he still gave him more advice and asked him to use his own Willingness matters.

The place where Jiang's family was born was never as luxurious as the family in Beijing, and there were not many servants.Every time Ling Yu went there, the huge mansion was always deserted, but the happiness and security in Ye Zhixin's eyes were never fake. They made everyone into a small family, but they were really loving like ordinary couples.

At that time, there was only one girl in the Ye family, Ye Zhixin, who was Ling Yu's only nominal cousin. Even though she was only Ye Lang's adopted daughter, she grew up in Ye's parents and inherited the gentleness and strength of the Ye family. She was the apple of the eye of everyone in the Ye family. She is happy, and the Ye family always follow her.

In the third year after they got married, their child was born, a lively and lovely boy.

Ling Yu's grandfather, Old General Ye Liang, the head of the Ye family, was very happy. He personally chose the name for the child at the full moon, Jiang Sheng, which means bright and prosperous. At that time, Jiang Qi and Ye Zhixin just smiled when they heard it. Gently rocking the crying baby in the cradle, calling his baby name, softly comforting: "An'an..." Maybe what they are looking forward to is just a safe life for this child.

It was the first time that Ling Yu saw such a small child after following Ye Hou. He was obviously so young, and kept crying as if his strength was exhausted, and the voice was so loud that Ling Yu frowned.Later, Ye Zhixin jokingly congratulated herself on becoming an uncle, and she must let Ling Yu hug the child.

Ling Yu couldn't refuse, the little child was crying loudly and just put it into his stiff arms, Ling Yu had a stern face, at a loss what to do.

Ye Zhixin smiled and said: "My Third Highness is so good-looking, if you smile and coax him, he will stop crying."

Ling Yu looked down at the little face that was wrinkled from crying, and imitated others and shook his arms lightly, reluctantly said: "You...you...don't cry..."

Maybe it's because the child is tired from crying, or maybe it's because Ling Yu is really effective for the child. The child really stops crying in his arms. His eyes are wide open, staring intently at Ling Yu who is holding him, stretching his chubby lips. The short hands grabbed Ling Yu's skirt indiscriminately.

Ye Zhixin sighed at that time: "This kid is a face-seeker, you see he likes you."

Ling Yu froze for a moment, and suddenly felt the cuteness of the child, and then Ling Yu found out that he was wet by this little guy.

After that, it was the time when he went to Jiangfu the most, for the growing up child who often pulled his sleeve and winked for sweets.

But in this calamity, which was only four years away from the marriage, the dust settled, and Fang Jue, Jiang Ye's family were all losers.

The Qin family has made great achievements in supervising important cases, and has risen from a well-known local family. Qin Rong was promoted from a deputy in the military department to minister of the Ministry of punishment, and soon became an official.The daughter Qin Yu who was sent to the palace was originally a little beauty, but later Qin Xiang was beautiful and directly named a concubine, and the fifth prince who was born when Qin Yu was still a beauty was also becoming more and more intelligent, and was deeply loved by Emperor Cheng.There are not many people in the harem of Emperor Cheng, and there is no heir. After Qin Yu, she became the most honored and favored concubine of Qin. She took charge of the affairs of the harem. The change of the wheel.

Most of the aristocratic families in Beijing began to restrain themselves, and correspondingly, some other aristocratic families seized the opportunity to gain a firm place in the court.

It was because Ling Yu hadn't participated in government affairs yet, but he just saw disasters happening and the dust settled before his eyes.

Then one day he entered the palace in response to the imperial edict, and in the midst of the eyes full of ghosts, he knelt down to send off his mother, whom he had not seen since his illness, and the little unknown child in her womb—outsiders didn't know it at that time, but Ling Yu But knowing that her mother was already three months pregnant, and her fetal breathing was not stable, she didn't make a big fuss about it.

Then, in front of Ye Liang's mourning hall, dressed in filial piety, he also did the last bit of filial piety for his mother.

Now Ming Yu saw that his expression was loose, and continued: "Ye Lang is the previous pavilion master of Tianxin Pavilion, he didn't tell anyone about the relationship between Tianxin Pavilion and him, he only told you, which is enough to prove how much he values ​​you."

Yes, Ye Lang gave Ling Yu a small flare a long time ago, and told him that he could use it when he was in trouble, and someone would naturally come to help him.It's just that he didn't use it all the time, and then Ye Lang died. It wasn't until Jiang's family was imprisoned that Ling Yu smelled something unusual, so he used this flare, hoping to at least ensure the safety of Jiang's family of three.

Sure enough, after waiting for a long time, a woman appeared quietly, and that was the first time he and Ming Yu met.

He said softly, "But you didn't do my only request."
