Phoenix and Dragon

Li Xi, Prince Su, is the seventh son of the late emperor, and the younger brother of the present mother and compatriot.

This prince is now in his forties, although he is middle-aged, he is still in the prime of life.

But from the day he was born, he was not expected to become a scholar.

At the age of five, he went to the study with the other princes. He couldn't read a few big characters clearly, but his ability to be mischievous was a hood. He entertained his master all day long, bullied his brothers, and was ignorant. It was a headache.

The Taifu is an old pedant with a bad temper and a stubborn temper. He was so angry at Prince Su's ignorance that he complained in front of the late Emperor every day with a beard and eyes. If you want to shake your sleeves and give up teaching, tell your old man to return home. The old emperor lost all face when he was quarreled with. He beat Li Xi and scolded him, but this bastard son refused to be soft and hard. Close the little black room.

Many years later, the first emperor died.After ascending the throne today, he was even more worried about this and his younger brother.

Prince Su was not born with the tendencies of reading. If he was asked to recite a book, he would fall asleep, and if asked to compose poems, he would run away.

Wen is not successful, martial arts is good, it is rare that he is willing to put his heart into something.

Most of the other princes and grandsons practiced martial arts for the sake of physical fitness and self-defense, but Li Xi was the only one who worked hard in this area, with knives, guns, sticks, axes, hooks and forks.Because of his martial arts practice, Prince Su is in good health, well-fed and fragrant, with a wide body and strong body and strong strength. Relying on this advantage, he caused many troubles in the capital when he was young.

The emperor finally realized the depressed heart of their own father, the first emperor, when he was angry and smoldering.

The emperor wondered if this younger brother could not expect him to make any achievements in the government, so he simply threw him into the army to practice.

This move was the right one. Prince Su went to the border when he was in his teens and less than [-] years old.

It's just that swords and guns have no eyes, and the battlefield in the windy and sandy desert at Bianguan is even more brutal. Prince Su was ambushed when he led a surprise attack, was seriously injured by the enemy, and almost died.

When the news was sent back to the capital, before the courtiers were in an uproar, the emperor first accepted the unprecedented pressure from his own mother, the empress dowager. I want to go with the late emperor.

It's no wonder that the Queen Mother cried, made trouble, and hanged herself.

The queen mother has two sons and a daughter in name.

That daughter is not her own, but because she has been raised under the empress dowager's knees, she is the closest to the empress dowager, and she is the empress dowager's caring little padded jacket.

This woman is the famous Princess Pingyang.

The princess's biological father was the commander-in-chief of the four realms during the first emperor's dynasty. He had a life-long friendship with the first emperor. This commander, the eldest son and the second son died in a battle at the frontier together. The horse leather shroud did not return from the battle. He was the minister of the humerus in the Jin Dynasty.Not long after, the Marshal's wife also left, and the entire Marshal's mansion withered, leaving only a young girl who was only two years old at the time.

The first emperor mourned and felt the loyalty of his family, so he took this orphan girl as a righteous daughter and brought her into the palace, where she was raised by the then empress and later the queen mother. Princess, marry the Marquis of Chang'an under the scenery.

Princess Pingyang is the queen of the generals, she is by no means an ordinary woman in the deep palace, but a woman who is ready to fight.

During the last few years of the late emperor's reign, the nine sons seized the throne, and there was chaos in the capital.Princess Pingyang was in a bloody, life-and-death struggle, and she just helped the emperor get the winning chip.

The emperor is now able to sit firmly in the country, thanks to Princess Pingyang.

But the fate of the princess has been rough all her life. It can be seen from the fact that she lost her father and mother since she was a child.

The princess and her son-in-law, Marquis Chang'an, have been married for many years and have only one son.The younger generation is withered, and the descendants are not prosperous, but if this child can grow up safely, Princess Pingyang will not feel hopeless in this life.

However, the day did not fulfill everyone's wish.

More than ten years ago, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the servants of the mansion took the young Lord Hou to watch the Lantern Festival on the street.Who would have imagined that the child would be gone in the time it takes for someone to put the child on the side of the road and turn around to buy a candied haws.

The princess and the son-in-law searched the capital like crazy, and the royal family was so alarmed that they mobilized the imperial army and closed the nine gates, but they didn't find their only son.

The husband and wife have suffered from heart disease since then, and within a few years, they went one after the other.

The Empress Dowager sent a white-haired man to a black-haired man, and she almost went blind from crying.

One of the three children died, and the remaining two are the emperor and Prince Su. She must not let any of them make mistakes.

There is nothing the emperor can do about being cried by his mother. He was ashamed of his younger sister and his family, but now he can no longer be ashamed of his younger brother. He can only recall Prince Su back to the capital, and let him continue to do his idle work without causing trouble. Prince.

Prince Su returned to Beijing to recover from his injuries. Although the emperor had no intention of depriving him of his military power, the empress dowager was worried that he would never be able to go to the battlefield again in a short time.

It is also to blame that Prince Su fought too hard when leading the troops on the border.

In those years, the four realms surrendered, all nations came to court, and the Jin Dynasty had no major wars for many years. Naturally, there was no need for Li Xi, the noble prince, to go out to fight.

Prince Su, who does not fight, has nothing to do and is bored, so he has plunged into Fengyuedi from then on.

He has two major hobbies in his life, one is beauties, and the other is listening to operas. His degree of dandyism is far higher than that of many royal descendants who have followed his predecessors.

He has accepted two princesses so far.

The first Princess Su was accepted before going to the border. She was the mother of Prince Su's eldest son, Li Mingyuan, and the eldest daughter of Zhang Ge's hometown.

Concubine Zhang is a well-known lady, a talented woman with everyone's demeanor.However, this is useless. Before the wedding, Prince Su was full of ambitions in martial arts. After getting married, he returned to the frontier after not staying in the palace for a few days. The most feared thing for young couples is separation. In those years, Prince Su The relationship with this princess is limited.

Later, Prince Su came back from the border and became a senior prodigal son. The daily life of Princess Zhang became a choice between those who are angry and those who are about to be angry. To fry.

After giving birth to Prince Su's eldest son, Li Mingyuan, Princess Zhang fell ill from depression, and within a few years, she just passed away.

——Basically, he was pissed off.

Mr. Zhang Ge knows more or less about his daughter's affairs. The old man is a man of three courts, and he is also a person who wants face. Since the death of Princess Su, apart from his contact with Li Mingyuan, he has not been in the door of Prince Su's mansion for 20 years.

Prince Su passed away as his concubine, so he lived at ease for several years.

The emperor saw that his younger brother was ignorant, incapable of appearance, really ruined the royal family's dignity, and couldn't send him back to the army, so he held back his bad thoughts and thought about giving Li Xi a powerful concubine to take care of him.

After being recommended by the ministers, there was a second Princess Su.

The emperor secretly wanted to play tricks at the beginning, because he was looking for a daughter-in-law for his younger brother all over the capital because of the word "powerful". Thinking that the one I found was too powerful, she was a well-known beauty and shrew among the young girls in the capital.

Beautiful, that's really beautiful, the old man in the capital said, the four beauties recorded in the history books are not enough to lift the shoes of this grand lady.

A shrew, that's a real shrew, she started to be ruthless, blocked the door and walked the streets to scold someone without seriousness for a month, and scolded all the neighbors and alleys three times without defeat.If this girl was born a man, she would be a rare talent in the Jin Dynasty.

According to the above two, the Sun family has not left the cabinet in his thirties.

Hehe, who dares to marry?Do you have the good fortune to marry you?

The emperor pointed out such a concubine to Prince Su, and he was really shocked.

After the imperial decree, the royal relatives, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, were all so sincere and fearful, and they all agreed to see Prince Su's jokes.

However, this group of people guessed the beginning, but they didn't guess the ending—since Prince Su married the shrew Princess Sun, the couple were actually very harmonious and harmonious.

Li Xi stopped being a monster, and Sun's was no longer a shrew. In the second year of Sun's marriage to the palace, she gave birth to a fat boy - Li Mingyao, the second son of Prince Su's palace.

Prince Su's love for Sun is obvious to all. He loves the house as much as Wu. Even today, several years after she passed away, he still takes good care of her mother's family.

It was this kind of care that led to today's disaster.

Speaking of which, the Sun family's family style is really problematic, the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam is even more crooked, and the shrew energy that Sun had when he was not out of the cabinet was all brought out by his natal family's ears and eyes.

The Sun family has a younger brother named Sun Jue, who is in his 30s and is not as good as his elder sister. He has a bad face and looks good. Duan, relying on his sister being the beloved Princess Su, she has always been domineering in the capital, and she still doesn't know how to restrain herself.

The old and young men in Sijiu City hated him so much that they hated him, and because of the power of Prince Su's relatives, they dared not speak out.I can only give this grandson a nickname in private, known as "Duan Zigong".

——Combining Sun Jue's name, it really fits the word, cut off children and grandchildren.

Zhang Ge's old mansion had long since lost his relationship with Prince Su's mansion, and now when people mention Prince Su's brother-in-law, they are talking about this "brother" Sun Jue.

————————————————————————————————————————

Speaking of the evening when Miss Yi disappeared, Sun Jue went to the Zhengyi Temple theater building to listen to an opera, and happened to fall in love with a girl from the Yi family who came out to help.

Miss Yi would rather die than follow, Sun Jue pushed the girl during the dispute with the girl - at this moment, Miss Yi bumped her head against the corner of the table in the back room, her head was bleeding, and she died on the spot Son.

Sun Jue was a softie, when he saw someone was killed, he panicked on the spot, he hurriedly ordered people to transport the body out of the city overnight, and buried it under the plum garden west of the city.

Unexpectedly, it was the first time that the servant in charge buried someone in the middle of the night. Facing the dead body in the dark night, he was so frightened that he dug a shallow pit hastily, threw it away, and ran back to return to his life.

Therefore, Miss Yi's body was buried very shallowly, and within a few days, it was turned over by wild dogs that planed to eat.

This case happened.

————————————————————————————

Sun Jue's brain was as horrible as his face, and he jumped over the wall like a dog when he heard the news, but he couldn't come up with any decent ideas to avoid disaster.

But he has been domineering in the capital for so many years, and has always acted in the name of Prince Su's Mansion. No one has ever challenged him. This time he acted the same way, and could only bluff and order people to use the name of Prince Su's Mansion to threaten the government to close the case as soon as possible.

——This ignorant thing thought that a case where human life was at stake could be fooled like this, but he didn't expect it, but this time he kicked the iron plate.

This iron plate is tough and genuine, even if you gnaw hard on it, your sharp teeth will be smashed into slag.He is none other than Song Guogong's son, Xiao Yu.

Prince Xiao Yu listens to opera and is a well-known opera fan.

There is no gentleman who does not support entertainers.

The Fuqing class that Chen Ziyun was in had always been supported by Prince Xiao behind his back, and whoever dared to touch someone in the Fuqing class would hit him in the face of Song Guogong's son.

At the beginning of the dynasty, the Tai/Zu emperor conferred meritorious service in battle, except for his own uncles and brothers who conferred higher titles, such as princes and county kings, there were indeed quite a few lords such as princes and marquises, but it has been passed down to this day. In ancient times, among this group of nobles, some have declined, some have withered heirs and no one has no one to inherit the title, and some have committed crimes and had their families ransacked and exterminated... Calculated in this way, among the nobles, they have been favored for so many years. The one who will never wither his descendants is Song Guogong, who has the highest title.

This generation of Song Guogong was the companion of the present when he was young, and the friendship he grew up with was the emperor's absolute trust.Prince Su didn't lead the army for many years, so he had a reputation for having military power, but it was Song Guogong who actually controlled the military power on his behalf.His son, the son of Song Guogong, was no different from his own nephew in Jinshang's eyes.

This son of Duke Song is Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu was furious when he heard the news, and immediately ordered Ren Haosheng to investigate the cause and effect of the matter. When he heard that the matter was related to Sun Jue, he became even more furious.

Xiao Yu was so angry that he sent a letter to report to the imperial court that Prince Su's brother-in-law bullied others and that Prince Su's mansion sheltered a murderer.

The matter finally came to light.

The cause and effect of this case are bizarre and bizarre, and the story behind it is complicated. It also involves the royal relatives and actors who are not yet accepted by the secular world from top to bottom, which caused an uproar in the court for a while.

The emperor was even more furious because of the bad influence of this incident on the people.
