The First Traitor [Rebirth]

After Yuan Ye returned from Luo's residence, he saw that Yuan, whose face had swollen a lot, was hugging Xiaoxue in the garden and teaching her how to speak.

"Little guy, you are so heavy, my arms are sore from holding it." Yuan actually grabbed her nose and pinched it, Xiaoxueli wanted to bite her very displeased.

"You still dare to bite me, be careful I won't let you eat." Yuan Jing threatened.

Hua Rui gave her a white look: "Miss doesn't need to eat."

"You talk too much."

Seeing this, Xiao Xueli "giggled" and laughed.Yuan Ye sighed in his heart, and felt relieved that it was right to give the child to Yuan, at least she would treat the child sincerely.

After what Old Luo Hanlin told him, he knew that it was already impossible for Yuan Jing to withdraw from the court.Leaving aside the emperor's side, Old Luo Hanlin intends to let Yuan Jing marry Luo Qijiao, just to push Yuan Jing forward. Given the present opportunity in front of him, how could he give up.

Luo Lao Hanlin has been an official for so many years and has ignored the government. It is not because he is indifferent. He also has a heart of doing things for the country and the people, and he hopes to make a big difference.He has a calm heart. He has been calm for more than seven years. He has been waiting, waiting for a suitable time.

Now that the emperor wants Old Luo Hanlin to return to the court, he will definitely refuse again and again, and finally agrees reluctantly in order to achieve his goal of "really not interested in government affairs, but was moved by the emperor and went back to serve the court".

Yuan is half of his student, has a teacher-student friendship, and Yuan is young, young people should have the world in mind, and they should do better than them.If she can develop a brotherly relationship with Luo Qilang in the future, it will also benefit the Luo family and the Yuan family in the future.

"Ahem." Yuan Ye cleared his throat and walked in front of Yuan Jing.

Yuan actually restrained his face: "Father."

Yuan Ye was quite entangled in her heart, now Yuan Jing's face was full of alienation and hatred towards him, it must be because of what he did recently that disappointed her!

"The emperor has a decree for you." Yuan Ye couldn't find anything to ease the atmosphere, so he could only talk about business.

Yuan actually handed the child over to Hua Rui, and was about to kneel down to receive the order, Yuan Ye hurriedly said: "I just want to convey it, there is no decree."

"Father, please tell me."

"If it wasn't for some serious illness, I would have gone back to duty sooner."

"understood."

"Also, the emperor wants to call Mr. Luo back to court."

Yuan Yuan didn't seem surprised at all, and asked, "Then Luo Lao agreed?"

Yuan Ye shook his head, and suddenly asked, "Do you know why?"

"Father, is he asking why Mr. Luo didn't agree, or why the emperor called Mr. Luo back to court?" Yuan actually avoided Yuan Ye's question.Yuan Ye didn't get an answer, and he didn't care about it. He just kept a straight face and took out a bottle of medicine from his arms: "This is the medicine given by the Tai Hospital. It is said that it can reduce swelling."

Yuan actually took the medicine and thanked him again.Seeing her acting like this, Yuan Ye became angry again, but he couldn't bear to scold her any more, so he waved his sleeves and left helplessly.

Huarui said, "Second young master, why are you doing this?"

Yuan actually put the medicine bottle away, so why would she want to show Yuan Ye's face, but there are some things she has to do for others to see.She understood Yuan Ye's guilt towards Yuan Li, and also understood his desire to stay away from the court, and he was still her father.

Putting aside those bad things for the time being, she hugged Xiaoxueli.The little guy pulled out a piece of jade pendant from his collar at some point, and was biting it in his mouth.

"Second Young Master, isn't this your jade? Why did you give it to Miss?" Hua Rui asked.

"The last time I took her to the study room to play, she liked this piece of jade. I saw that it was missing a corner, so I gave it to her to play with." Yuan Jing said, speaking of this jade being dropped by Yuan Mixue last time, it was not broken It's also strange.

Thinking of Yuan Mixue's leaving Yuan Mansion for nearly a year, and since she left the capital, Yuan Jing has never received any news from Yuan Mixue, and she doesn't know if she is safe now.

It turned out that after returning to Guozijian, he did not talk about his resignation this time, but became more cautious in his words and deeds.

As for why the emperor thought of letting Luo Lao Hanlin return to the court?After a few days, Yuan Ye got the answer.

Since there are officials impeaching Feng Ying's family for purchasing more than [-] mu of land in their hometown and allowing their children's slaves to run rampant in the village, the imperial court should pay attention to it.Many ministers in the court jumped out to speak good words for Feng Ying. If there was no evidence, they would have accused Huke of slandering the Feng family.

The emperor quietly watched these people say good things for Feng Ying in the court hall, and even some of his highly trusted courtiers tactfully interceded for Feng Ying, which made him more deeply aware of a problem: He has been in business for many years, and he had contacts with many ministers during his reign, and he would bribe some ministers after he became an official.Therefore, if he wants to deal with Feng Ying, he will encounter far more resistance than he imagined.

Seeing that the situation was one-sided, Zhang Songwei and others stood up and accused Feng Ying, as a young prince, of ignoring the laws of the country, accepting bribes, taking bribes and breaking the law. If not, where did they get the money to buy so much land?And they had every reason to believe that the prefect of Linjin Prefecture and others were in collusion with the Feng family and indulged their children Yurou Xiangli.

There is a new law ordered by the emperor, and the children of the aristocratic family should take it as a warning and be more strict with themselves, but they know that they break the law and should be held accountable.

The prince was angry when he saw that King Qi looked like he had nothing to do with himself, but he was anxious to replace Feng Ying.Although he listened to the emperor's words and kept a certain distance from Feng Ying, it seemed that the emperor did not intend to let Feng Ying go because of this.He thought that someone must be playing tricks behind his back, and this person must be King Qi!

Fortunately, many ministers in the court spoke for Feng Ying. The emperor did not decide how to deal with this matter, but only ordered the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Yushi to investigate.When everyone saw it, Jiang Guang, Shangshu of the household department, was the prince's right-hand man. Feng Ying's purchase of so many fields must have been covered up by him, but the emperor seemed to ignore such a simple matter, and still left it to him to investigate. Didn't he tell everyone that he didn't plan to pursue it? !

What makes people curious is that Yuan Ye never expressed any opinion on this matter, the emperor didn't even summon him to discuss the matter after he retired from court, instead, after a few hours, the emperor summoned Yuan Jing.

It turned out that since he became the secretary of the Imperial Academy, the emperor occasionally called him into the palace to answer some difficult questions, so everyone didn't feel any difference, only one person was particularly nervous - Feng Ying.

Someone impeached Feng Ying early in the court, and within half an hour he received the news and was trying to deal with it.The ledger is the first thing to deal with, and then we have to consider how to cover up the field.The members of the Feng family also visited their old friend's mansion in a sensible way to contact each other so that they could speak for the Feng family.

Although the emperor handed over the matter to the Ministry of Household Affairs for investigation, Feng Ying's years of official career made him a little more worried.It wasn't until he heard that the emperor had summoned Yuan Jing that he realized that something might really be wrong with the Feng family this time.

The Feng family couldn't help laughing at him for worrying too much: "The emperor just called Yuan into the palace to amuse him. It's not the first time he has called her. What are you worried about?"

"That's right, and it turned out that she was already in danger. This time she was able to keep her official hat, so she should be a talent with her tail between her legs. How dare she be so bold as to confront the Feng family and the crown prince?"

"Besides, the Feng family is the prince's right-hand man, and the prince also relies heavily on the Feng family. If something happens to the Feng family, what will the prince do? So the emperor will not touch our Feng family easily."

Feng Ying shook his head, although he didn't fully understand it in his heart, he was still a little uneasy: "We were the ones behind who pushed Yuan Jing to almost resign this time, Yuan knew it, and the emperor knew it, so the emperor still favors Yuan Jing as before. , then if she slanders the Feng family in front of the emperor, it is difficult to guarantee that the emperor's original thoughts will not be shaken."

Feng Ying has been in the officialdom for many years, and he also knows the emperor's thoughts.The emperor is like a fierce tiger. Even if he is sick like an old man, the tiger will pounce on him and bite him before he dies, let alone the emperor.

After discussing for a long time, Feng Ying decided to take precautions and deal with the facts first.At this time, it is necessary for them to cooperate with the enemy.There is also a common enemy between the Feng family and Yuan Jing, which is the Zhang family.It was originally designed for Feng Qiaozhou and Qian Ning to beat and disable Zhang Jinhou. If Zhang Songwei found out, he and the Feng family would put aside their hatred for the time being and cooperate together.

When the Feng family was planning how to get rid of Yuan Jing, she was showing the emperor a monkey in the palace.

The emperor noticed that her face seemed a little swollen, so he asked, "What's wrong with Yuan Erlang's face?"

"I was bitten by a mosquito." Yuan replied without changing his expression.

"Oh, then this mosquito bites a bit harshly. Liu Xiao, order someone to go to the Imperial Hospital to get some medicine to reduce swelling for Yuan Erlang." Although the emperor said so, the expression on his face was still cheerful.

Liu Xiao went out and ordered his servants to go to the imperial hospital to get the medicine, and when he came back, the atmosphere between the emperor and Yuan Jing was much better, and it was not just the sense of dignity between the emperor and his ministers.The emperor and Yuan Jing talked about some irrelevant things, and then asked Yuan Jing's opinion based on what happened in the court today.

It turns out that it is not important to understand what she thinks, the emperor already has some opinions in his mind.All she had to do was agree with the emperor's point of view, but she couldn't let the emperor see that she had read his mind, and she had to remove herself from this matter.Convenience said: "I think there must be evidence in the matter to impeach. The Feng family's matter should not be groundless. It's just the emperor's idea of ​​asking the minister. The minister thinks that "the so-called not in his position does not seek his own government." The minister is just mere How can Guozijian Siye speak indiscriminately about Mr. Feng, who is highly respected in the court? Moreover, the ministers of such important matters think that the emperor has his own opinions, so it is better for the ministers to obey the emperor's orders."

No joy or anger could be seen on the emperor's face, he just coughed and said, "I ask you because I trust you, so don't play tricks on me."

"..." Yuan Jing's eyeballs flicked around, obviously looking for some excuse.The emperor stared at her, and she restrained herself and said, "I'm terrified. It's just that the emperor has ordered the Minister of the Household Department to investigate the property of Feng's family, and the censor to investigate the crime of corruption and bribery. I think everything will happen soon. Then the truth will come out, the emperor asked the minister what he thinks, and the minister is really at a loss."

"Then do you know who are the people who interceded for the Feng family in the court today?"

It turned out that this time he didn't pretend to be confused, and said: "Could it be that you are the ones who suggested that I go home to mourn for my elder brother?"

"It's not just them, there are many more!" the emperor said with a sigh.

Yuan actually thought for a moment, then asked in a low voice: "What does the emperor want me to do for the emperor?"

"I heard that you and Luo Hanlin have a good friendship, so I want you to persuade him to become an official for me, and return to the court to work for me and the people."

If there is no prestige in the court and people with bigger and more connections than Feng Ying are suppressing, then the crime of the Feng family can only be punished lightly, and the emperor still cannot shake Feng Ying's influence on the crown prince.Luo Lao Hanlin's prestige is the only one he can think of who is higher than Feng Ying, and has many students in the court, so he is brought out to compete with Feng Ying. I believe that the emperor does not need to worry about it. Feng Ying's crime is natural Someone will decide.

Yuan actually told the emperor that she thought she had no place in Luo Hanlin's heart, and although things might not be successful, she was still willing to give it a try.Bowing her head to accept this matter, the corner of her mouth twitched in a place where the emperor couldn't see—it really happened as she thought.

She went out from the palace gate and walked to the palace gate, a small servant approached her and said in a low voice: "The emperor intends to marry the princess to Yuan Siye."

Yuan was startled, watching the little servant leave in a hurry, frowning slightly.
