The first paparazzi in the Red Chamber

Seeing the puzzled expression on Jia Amnesty's face, Zhang Youyun knew that he had slipped out too much information just now, so he hurriedly defended, "A few days ago, I heard about the case of Wang Ziteng. Thanks to my lord's insight, I couldn't help admiring it. This is selfless." Four words, it's simple to say, but when the incident happened, face and human feelings were mixed in, and it was inevitable to favor one's own family, and there are few people who are as fair as adults."

"It's ridiculous, but I did my best." Jia She turned to say goodbye to Zhang Youyun.

Zhang Youyun hurriedly bowed his hands to bid farewell to Jia She, and said that this might be the last time the two of them saw each other.

Jia She stopped, turned his head and frowned at Zhang Youyun: "Why did you say that, do you want to leave Beijing?"

"The land in the capital is not suitable for me. I would rather be a prodigal son and make my home all over the world. I feel more relaxed." Zhang Youwang forced a smile.

"When will we leave?" Jia She sized Zhang Youyun up.

Zhang Youwang nodded, and continued: "I will leave in three days. Those in the boat today are all my friends, and they are also seeing me off. There is another one tomorrow. I am afraid that I will be so drunk that I will still be dreaming when I leave. "

While listening to Zhang Youwang's words, Jia Amnesty scrutinized his expression, seeing that his expression was sincere when he spoke, he knew that he was telling the truth and really wanted to leave.This is quite new, he approached him before, obviously for another purpose, but now the matter just started, he suddenly decided to leave, why?It seems that some news leaked by Cai Feiping made him change his mind.

Jia Amnesty didn't say anything else, wishing Zhang Youyun a safe and smooth journey, he bid him farewell and got into the car.

Zhang Youyun bowed deeply and saluted, and waited until Jia Amnesty's carriage had gone far away. He stood up straight and stared at the carriage until it disappeared at the end of the road. , somewhat sluggish.

The servant accompanying Zhang Youyun persuaded him.

Zhang Youyun regained his composure and came back, saying: "Let's go."

"Second Master, we really don't want to stay in Beijing anymore? But you said—"

"Shut up, today is different from the past. People can be proud of their talents, but they are even more taboo to be smart." Zhang Youyun put his hands behind his back and clenched his fists, very hard.

The little guy agreed and said no more.As soon as the painting came back, the servant raised his voice and shouted over there, and the boat drove over.

……

As soon as Jia Amnesty's carriage arrived at the gate of the city, the official of the Gyeonggi Prefecture who had been waiting here for a long time rushed to report.

"Cao Lan has already returned to the capital, and is now waiting for the adults to ask questions in the Gyeonggi Prefecture."

The carriage immediately drove to Gyeonggi Province quickly.

When he arrived in Gyeonggi Province, Jia Amnesty strode into the side hall.As soon as he entered the door, he saw Cao Lan stand up, stared at him in a daze, and then bowed his hands in embarrassment to see him.

The Yacha scolded Cao Lan that she should kneel down when she saw the Lord.

After Cao Lan heard the words, her complexion became even worse.

"I haven't been promoted yet, so there is no need to be so rigid." Jia Amnesty sent the yamen servants to retreat, and invited Cao Lan to sit down.

After hearing Jia She's words, Cao Lan felt even more uncomfortable.In the final analysis, he still had to kneel. When he was promoted, in front of all the common people, he still had to kneel down to an old dandy whom he once despised.Thinking of this, Cao Lan felt aggrieved, how could he get to where he is now.It's all right without being an official, but such a big incident happened in the family. The Shi's crime has nothing to do with him. He also has joint and several charges of poor family management. Heavier than Shi Shi.

"Mr. Shan Guo said that you knew that Shi Shi was not his biological daughter long before you got married, but an adopted adopted daughter?" Jia She asked.

Cao Lan bowed her head listlessly, and nodded, which was a tacit agreement.

"Do you know Shi's deeds?"

Cao Lan gritted her teeth and said angrily, "Of course I don't know. No matter how stupid I am, I won't be so stupid as to raise a son for my concubine brother! I just wish I could tear him into pieces!"

"Since you hate Shi Shi so much, why do you still want to recognize Shi Shi's identity and help the duke get rid of the crime. You can deny it and take the life of the duke. Why do you want to testify for him like you are now? Plead for him. Besides, the Shi family was a skinny horse in Shan Guogong's mansion back then, and couldn't bear children, do you know this?"

Cao Lan froze for a moment, then shook her head hesitantly.If he also admitted the two things of thin horse and infertility, it would be too fake.How can any man in this world be willing to take a woman who is impure and sterile to be his regular wife. "As for the revenge you mentioned, I don't understand what's wrong with telling the truth. Could Master Jia want me to lie to harm others? I believe in Buddhism, and those who believe in cause and effect will never lie. At that time, all I knew was that he belonged to Duke Shan. Adoptive daughter, just because this girl looks like his dead daughter, I don't know anything else."

"The Duke of Shu was guilty of deception when he made the marriage contract with you." Jia She paused, and then asked Cao Lan with a smile, "This matter will be reported to the emperor sooner or later, so I have another question to ask." Clearly. Since you knew that Shi Shi's identity was fake, why did you continue this marriage? There is a big difference between a adopted daughter and a biological daughter."

"Mr. Shan Guo told me that he would treat Shi Shi as his own daughter, and doubled her dowry. This well-matched marriage was originally a good relationship between the two surnames, and it was just a matter of mutual benefit. As for this woman I don't care what your parentage is."

"Lord Cao, don't you think that your lie is a little too good? Who wouldn't care about the background of the first wife? If you just ask someone on the street, the answer will definitely be different from yours." Jia She said lightly.

Cao Lan was so blocked by Jia She's words that he didn't know what to say for a moment. He was silent for a while, then frowned and said: "Back then, the Cao family had a huge deficit and had nowhere to make up for it. My father was seriously ill, and I, the eldest son, had to support the whole family. This is also a necessary expedient method in a desperate situation. Both parties know about this matter, but because of face, they did not reveal Shi's true identity to the outside world. Marrying a wife is a matter between the two surnames, and outsiders should not intervene .”

"Duke Shan gives money to give up his daughter, and you help Duke Shan solve his troubles. It sounds like mutual benefit, so it makes sense." Jia She laughed and asked the secretary to write down all these words.Jia She was too lazy to expose the falsehood in Cao Lan's words. Anyway, the emperor is not a fool. After reading these words, Mingjun will have his own conclusions, and there is no need for others to say more.

Jia Amnesty issued an order to open the hall, and even if there was a yamen servant to beat the gong to inform the people.As soon as everyone heard that the Cao family's case was on trial again, they rushed to tell each other, put down their work, and ran to join in the fun.The shop will not be opened, the stall will not be set up, and it is nothing to delay the business for a day, but it will be a lifelong regret to miss such a lively court trial.

In the courtroom, amidst the sighs of everyone, Cao Lan admitted that she did know Shi's identity as the righteous daughter of the Shu country.Shan Guogong argued at this time, saying that the marriage certificate only stated that he proposed to marry Shan Guogong's daughter as his wife, and did not specify whether it was his biological daughter or adopted daughter, so they were not cheating.

"This marriage was originally a matter of discussion and finalization between the two parents. If you want it, I will. If our two families are willing, what should we do with outsiders?" Shan Guogong clapped his hands dissatisfied, and said with righteous indignation.

Jia Amnesty was wearing a purple official robe, sitting at the head of the hall in a heroic manner, and he was still calm and expressionless when he heard the words of Shan Guogong.While everyone sighed, they couldn't help feeling that the new governor was dignified, calm and dignified.Facing such a superb thing, he was able to stay in shock, which is really admirable.

Everyone immediately guessed that Mr. Jia must have expected this result a long time ago, and he really lived up to his reputation of knowing things with little knowledge.

"You didn't confess to Cao Lan the identity of her sterile skinny horse, you still concealed it." Jia She said

Shan Guogong: "The reason why I didn't mention the thin horse is because she was still a virgin when she married, so she can't be regarded as a real thin horse."

Kneeling aside in embarrassment, Shi Shi sneered when he heard Cao Lan and Shan Guogong cover each other up.She denies this, but now she is a whore in the eyes of everyone, and no one believes her words.

Cao Lan kept staring at Shi Shi from time to time, clenched his fists tightly, and had the urge to go forward and kill the woman directly, but due to the occasion, he endured it and maintained a good "demeanor", He didn't say a single word of anger and hatred to Shi Shi.

The case involved dignitaries, so Jia Amnesty naturally couldn't pronounce the verdict in court.He just ordered everyone to testify in court, and then announced his withdrawal from the court.

The people were a little disappointed when they saw that Cao Lan, who had a green grassland above her head, did not react as violently as they had imagined.But this also shows that the cultivation of the nobles is different from that of ordinary people. If this matter was changed to any of them, they would have been furious and slashed people with knives.

After leaving the hall, Jia Amnesty asked Liu Xianglian to draft the memorial, and then went directly to the palace to report to the emperor.

Among the noble women, the favorite thing to talk about is gossip about other people's families.Cao Lan put on a big cuckold this time, and Shi's involvement is all in the sex scandal case, which is more worthy of everyone's talk about it.This matter attracted everyone to talk about it, and a noble lady told the queen mother by the way when she entered the palace.The queen mother also felt excited, so she wentssip with the emperor when he came.

Therefore, the emperor paid special attention to Shi's case.This is also the reason why he hastily changed Jia She as governor of Gyeonggi Province when he was reviewing the case in Gyeonggi Province.

Now the emperor frowned after reading the memorial submitted by Jia Amnesty, feeling that there was something tricky and doubtful about it.The emperor then read it again, pointed at the memorial with his fingers, and asked Jia She: "Duke Shan said that when Cao Lan got married, he knew that Shi Shi was his adopted daughter, do you believe it?"

Jia Amnesty: "Believe it or not, this matter can no longer be verified. Cao Lan's parents have passed away long ago, and the truth now depends on what they say casually."

The emperor nodded, knowing what he knew.

"The case of Shi's matter has been proven, so it will be dealt with in accordance with the law. This case has attracted many dignitaries and dignitaries who are curious to watch the excitement. They must not slack off and want to make an example of others."

Jia Amnesty agreed.

The emperor turned around and sneered and said, "Actually, Cao Lan is quite pitiful when you think about it. Not to mention the adultery between his wife and his brother and nephew, the son he raised was not his own. When you were interrogating, he fainted out of anger?"

Jia Amnesty denied, "Perhaps he knew about it before, and he was already angry."

The emperor sneered twice, and immediately ordered someone to pass the decree to demote Shan Guogong from the rank of Duke to General.Originally, the title of Shan Guogong could be passed on for another three generations, but now he is directly demoted to the title of general, that is to say, the title will only end in his generation, and his heirs will no longer have the opportunity to be sheltered and enjoy the blessings of the title.

After the emperor dealt with the duke of the state, he sent Jia Amnesty to deal with other people involved in the case at will, and he must uphold the fairness and justice he had always insisted on before.

Jia Amnesty agreed, so he stepped back, and sent Liu Zhizhong to the court tomorrow for sentencing and sentencing, and told him to follow the law in everything, and Jia Amnesty didn't have to come in person.

The next day, Gyeonggi Prefecture announced the verdict in public.Severely imposed on Shi Shi for the crime of adultery, this kind of special punishment for women, basically, after execution, there is no doubt that she will die, and she will suffer extremely great pain before death.As for Cao Ban, he was sentenced to one hundred sticks and 30 years in prison.Cao Qingming was sentenced to fifty years of cane and 20 years in prison.

This is the heaviest sentencing of the three according to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it also follows the emperor's words of "killing chickens to scare monkeys".

But after the news was released, some female family members lamented the injustice.The crimes committed by Shi Shi and Cao Ban are almost equal, but because Shi Shi is a woman, she has to bear a heavier and more painful punishment than a man.Shi Shi's behavior is shameful, and she deserves it, but she was at the mercy of her people at that time, and she fell into the current situation.How could it be possible to purposely raise her to be lewd, and then want her to live like a decent woman?Even if she deserves to die, Cao Ban, whose crime is similar to hers, should be punished with a similar punishment, why should he be left alive!

At this time, some men stand up and make a long speech, saying that women deserve to be fucked, and men are lustful because of their nature, which can be forgiven.Some women listened to this and felt that they couldn't beat their men in the end, so they died down.Some of the men who agreed with these remarks from the beginning severely condemned Shi.They believed that it was right for men to be romantic, and that a regular wife like Shi Shi who did not obey women's morals should warn the world and let her die.

In the elite circle of the capital, only a small number of women insisted that it was unfair and expressed dissatisfaction with it.Most of these people are husbands who have died, and they are more enlightened old ladies, such as Jia Mu.Among the younger generation, there are some women who married into the lower family, have extensive knowledge, and still speak heavily in their in-laws' family. The most representative one is Princess Changping.

Princess Changping is the daughter of Concubine Wu Shu, and Fang is 26 years old this year. Her temperament follows Concubine Wu Shu, gentle and gentle, and versatile.But regarding Shi's case, Princess Changping showed persistence that was different from her usual temperament, and even entered the palace for this, expressing her attitude in front of the Queen Mother.

Later, several widowed old concubines also said that the matter was not due to the severity of Shi's sentencing, but the unfairness between men and women.Because of the same crime, Shi Shi will be scolded by everyone and end up dead.Cao Ban was able to escape the death penalty and live on.

The queen mother also felt that what they said was reasonable, but it was not good to intervene in the judgment of Gyeonggi Prefecture without authorization, so she discussed with the queen that it would be most appropriate to let her eloquent younger brother Song Xi come out.

After Song Xi learned the news from his elder sister, he laughed it off.This matter was judged by the Gyeonggi Prefecture, where Jia Amnesty was in charge. If he questioned it, if he offended Jia Amnesty, it would not be worth the loss.A pair of adulterers and adulterers is nothing more than it is not worth his doing.Besides, Jia Amnesty has a news network, so he doesn't know what the people in the capital are talking about?Song Xi didn't bother to intervene in this matter.

Jia Amnesty had long heard the rumors outside, and acted as if he hadn't heard it, and kept silent all the time without expressing his opinion.When Jia's mother saw him at night, she also talked about it and sighed that it was so unfair.

Jia Amnesty only said: "The law is like this, so what can be done."

It happened that Mother Jia attended the concubine's birthday banquet, and because she is now the mother of the governor of Gyeonggi Prefecture, naturally many people asked Mother Jia for news at the banquet.Mother Jia spread her son's words to the public, and within a day's news, everyone in the capital knew that Mrs. Shi had suffered a lot, because when the law measures adultery, the severity of punishment for men and women is completely different.

Today is the day Zhang Youyun left Beijing.Earlier, Jia Amnesty had ordered people to keep an eye on Zhang Youyun, even if he left today, Jia Amnesty's people would still keep an eye on Zhang Youyun.

But he didn't want to hear the news of where Zhang Youyun was leaving Beijing, and another surprising news came.

Master Chang is dead.

"Gyeonggi Province received a report yesterday evening, saying that someone committed suicide by the moat. Because it was too dark, the officials went to check in the evening, but they didn't see anything. They thought it was the old man who reported the case. Who would have thought, Early this morning, someone found a dead body floating in the moat. Coincidentally, I went to Gyeonggi Province to help the master deliver the case file, and I recognized the clothes of Master Chang at a glance. Although his face was white and big, but carefully identified his appearance The little one still recognized him." After Zhu Mao reported back, he added that Jia She was told that Mr. Chang's clothes were scratched, which was also consistent with the situation that he got into the dog hole in the house before.

Jia Amnesty immediately called Wei Qingdong to go to Gyeonggi Province.After Wei Qingdong checked the body, he told Jia Amnesty that there were indeed no traces of trauma or poisoning, and it should have been drowned.

Jia Amnesty questioned the witnesses himself.

The old man saluted Jia She fearfully, and said, "The young one is from Puliu County. He went to the city yesterday to sell tofu and returned home. After leaving the city, he saw a man standing by the moat, and he planted his head in it in the blink of an eye. The little one I hurried back and shouted to the imperial guards who guarded the city that someone was dead. One of the masters of the imperial guards went to report the case, and another went to see according to my instructions, but he didn't see anyone. Later, the officials of the Gyeonggi Prefecture came, But it was already dark, so I used a bamboo pole to probe in the river, but I couldn't find anyone, so I gave up."

Jia Amnesty promised that after letting the old man put him in charge, he sent the black pig to ask the people who monitored Zhang Youyun. He wanted to know if Zhang Youyun had gone out yesterday evening.

After a while, Gui San came to reply Jia Amnesty in person: "I haven't been out at night, but during the day I met my friends for a drink in the Zhuangyuan Building. When it was getting dark, he came back wobbly and was helped by the boys."

"Go on." After Jia Amnesty recorded it in his notebook, his brows furrowed even tighter.

Song Xi happened to be free today, so he came to see Jia She, and seeing his face pondering over the case, he expected that there would be no drama tonight.Song Xi sighed in his heart, then smiled and went to Jia She's side, patted his head, and asked him what was bothering him.

"Back then, all the maids in the palace who bullied you committed suicide one by one in a strange way, so you don't wonder why they died?" Jia She asked.

Song Xi was startled, then sneered: "It's fine if you die, I don't care about the reason."

"If those people don't die, how will you deal with them without making any excuses?" Jia Amnesty asked again.

Song Xi thought for a while, then sighed: "That's too much, for example, with a single sentence, you can kill people invisible."

"What?" Jia Amnesty's eyes lit up, and he asked with interest.

"It has to be what they desire the most. The women in the palace want nothing more than two things, status and grace. As long as you give them a little hope about these two things, they will fight desperately This opportunity. For example, the maids who do rough work in the laundry bureau are most eager to get a job where their hands are out of the water. If you tell six or seven of them, you will choose one of them to sweep the floor in the Queen's Hall of Spring Harmony. They plotted and framed each other. The weak died first, and the strong left behind were arrested in the name of evil, and naturally they were wiped out."

Jia Amnesty nodded and gave Song Xi a thumbs up. "It's a good move to kill with a knife!"

Song Xi laughed, "That's ridiculous, what did my words remind you?"

Jia Amnesty: "Not at all." He asked for nothing.

"Then you continue to worry, I'll read." Song Xi took out a book he hadn't read from Jia She's desk case, found a place for himself, sat down and read it.

Jia Amnesty looked at Song Xi in silence for a while, and then asked, "You've seen Zhang Youyun recently, so it's okay to meet him by chance."

"No. How could he and I meet by chance?" Song Xi was puzzled.

"Cai Feiping's status is quite different from his, and they still eat and drink together." Jia Amnesty exclaimed.

Song Xi sneered, "Don't use him as an example, it's not the same."

"Cao Lan's matter is not over yet. I think that in the past few days, there will definitely be some action from the concubine Xian in the palace. Since Cao Lan is willing to give up her reputation, she insists on knowing that Shi Shi is the adopted daughter of Shan Guogong. He is so willing to lie when he is persuaded by Duke Shan’s words. His current weakness is only being a virtuous concubine, presumably because Duke Shan has promised to help him pass the news to the palace, that’s why he is like this.” Jia She deliberated. .

Song Xi temporarily put down the book in his hand, and looked at Jia Amnesty: "It's fine to hit Concubine Xian, let them pass the news in, let her know that we have a good relationship, and we have already known about her calculations, and tell her not to talk about it in the future." Dare to make a mistake. The emperor is still thinking about who is behind the witchcraft case, as long as the troubles of the concubine Xian get to the emperor's ears, there will naturally be a way for the emperor to arouse his suspicion."

Jia Amnesty promised that everything would be in accordance with what Song Xi said, and it was up to the emperor to find out about the follow-up between Gong Guogong and Cao Lan.

"Speaking of the Cao family, it reminds me of Princess Changping. Recently, she frequently enters the palace to harass the queen."

"Deal with injustice for Cao Ban of the Shi family?" Jia She asked.

Song Xi nodded.

"The timing is not enough now, and the accumulation of grievances can lead to real reform." Jia She said.

"Difficult." Song Xi clarified the current reality in one word.

"Shi's death is certain. After Cao Banzhang was executed, he was imprisoned to Fujian. He walked in chains and shackles with wounds. He ate and slept in the open air along the way. It would not take long to think about it. In fact, it seems that Cao Ban is just alive, but the two The ending is the same after all." Jia She took a sip of tea and continued, "Both of them are not pitiful, but it would be a good thing if some people can think more about the unfair sentencing of men and women because of the law. Son. Maybe there is no change for the time being. If you can make people feel wronged, you will win. In fact, the most pitiful thing for me is those girls who were sold into the house by their parents. It will be easy to leave. After returning home, will they be sold by their parents in another way."

"It's hard to say." Song Xi said.

Jia Amnesty nodded, "I'm thinking about whether to send someone to follow up on this matter, and ask the local government to give a warning. It may be somewhat effective."

"Perhaps, but it's legal for parents to sell their daughters. Their sincerity has been decided, and it's useless for others to interfere." Song Xi added.

"You just block me, I already feel bad about these facts and the status quo." Jia She glared at Song Xi.

Song Xi laughed, came over and patted Jia She on the shoulder, comforting him not to be too tired, there are too many injustices in this world, even if it were Da Luo Immortal, he would not be able to settle them all.It is already admirable that Jia Amnesty can manage the present well and do his best to benefit the people.

Jia Amnesty nodded, "Finally said something human."

In the evening, Zhu Mao came to report the news with a smile, "The gate of the Duke's Mansion is closed, and he dare not see people. Many people pass by there, pointing and pointing. The gate of the Duke's Mansion is not clean. The heads of the two stone lions were thoroughly washed with feces. In summer, the smelly ones attracted a group of flies. When the young one went there, he recognized one of the people who threw the dung as Princess Changping. government."

"Don't worry about these things, just monitor. I want to see how Gong Shuo can help Cao Lan deliver the news to the palace." Jia She said.

Zhu Mao agreed, and then sent a message to Heizhu, so that those beggars under him could keep their eyes open, and they must not make mistakes this time.

Let's talk about Er Zhuzi, Zhu Mao did a good job during the period of reflection.Unexpectedly, after this guy came out after reflecting, he was more respectful than before, and he would handle things smartly.Er Zhuzi was completely outmatched again, a little unwilling.When he was free, he squatted on the porch, pulling grass sticks, and cursing pig hair.

"If you have the skills, you might as well run with Zhu Mao and learn how to do things from him, even if you are not as good as him. One day when the master really hands over the work, it will be great if you can stand alone." Mrs. Yin Persuade.

Er Zhuzi was not willing to agree, so after thinking about it, he hurriedly went to find Zhu Mao, and wanted to worship him as his teacher.

When Jia Amnesty came out of the house, he leaned against the door and said to Mrs. Yin, "What do you think of Er Zhuzi?"

"It's quite exciting, but it's rare to be idiot. If you recognize someone as your master, you will be loyal with all your heart."

"I also think he's pretty good. It's enough to run errands for general housekeeping. It's just that I have a lot of things here, so I need someone who is smarter and can manage the overall situation." Jia She said.

Mrs. Yin was stunned for a moment, feeling that the master's words had other meanings, so she hurriedly asked why.

Jia Amnesty: "Teach Er Zhuzi well. In the future, when Yingchun gets married, I intend to let him follow Yingchun to her in-law's house. In the future, when there is something going on outside and Yingchun is unable to deal with it in person, I need someone like him to show his skills." .”

"That's a great idea! It will be even more reliable if you use the maid next to the second girl to match her." Mrs. Yin hinted that Siqi was about the same age as Er Zhuzi. The girl is also extremely loyal to her master.

"Let's look at it again. It's not up to us to make decisions about this kind of thing. It depends on whether the family likes it. The red line can't be drawn casually. Don't lead to resentment, which will ruin the future of the two young people." Jia Sheyin thought of Siqi's The person in love in the original book is not Erzhuzi, so he can't express his opinion casually.Fearing that he might have a clearer attitude as a master, the servants used chicken feathers as arrows and tried hard to match him up.

Mrs. Yin immediately understood what Jia Amnesty meant, and hurriedly expressed her understanding respectfully, keeping in mind not to get involved in this matter without authorization.

……

Besides, the emperor, originally wanted to stay in the Hall of Spring Harmony today, to be affectionate and loving to his queen.Empress Naihe persuaded the emperor to visit other concubines on the grounds that the rain and dew were evenly exposed.The emperor also understood the queen's responsibilities, and he couldn't let the concubines in the harem feel that she was monopolizing the holy favor, so he obediently went for a walk with the concubines in each palace, but the more he walked, the more he felt bored, and he regretted that he was angry with the queen at the beginning. There are so many concubines with children.Now he has come to his senses and wants to drive these women away, but because of his responsibility, he can't drive them away.

While annoyed, the emperor walked to Fushou Palace.This is the residence of Concubine Xian.The emperor suddenly remembered what the empress had said to him before.Ever since the third prince was reprimanded by him and transferred to guard the mausoleum, he has indeed never been here with Concubine Xian.Think about the third child, who was very cute when he was a child. The concubine Xian is virtuous and gentle, and she is also an excellent woman.Now she can't get his own favor, and his only son has been driven so far by him, it's really pitiful.

The emperor decided to go to Fushou Palace to have a look, and when the eunuch communicated, he strode in.

Concubine Xian was overjoyed after hearing the news, and hurriedly came to welcome her with her maids and nuns.After paying homage to the emperor, Concubine Xian kept bowing her head, not daring to raise her head.

The emperor asked her why.

Concubine Xian expressed embarrassingly that she thought the emperor would not come here, so she was wearing plain clothes and did not put on makeup. She was afraid that she would neglect the emperor so much, so she did not dare to raise her head.

The emperor smiled, expressing that he didn't mind, and asked Concubine Xian to look up and serve him as usual.

Concubine Xian agreed with a smile, raised her head cautiously, then walked to the emperor with a smile, and asked the emperor if he was still feeling tired recently.She had just learned a set of shoulder pinching techniques, which was praised by the Queen Mother.

The emperor looked at Xianfei's white and tender face, which was like a lotus in clear water, but it was much fresher than those smeared concubines.Feeling suddenly happy, he asked Concubine Xian to pinch her shoulders to try, and he also wanted to judge.

"It's better for the Holy Majesty to lie on the couch."

The emperor promised to lie down on the couch.

Concubine Xian cleaned her hands, dragged off her shoes, knelt beside the emperor, and began to massage carefully.The emperor felt very comfortable after being pressed a few times, and subconsciously closed his eyes.

Seeing this, Concubine Xian continued to press, and said how to relieve fatigue and how beneficial it is to the body.

The emperor listened to Concubine Xian's soft and soft voice, which was very pleasant to his ears, so he responded twice, laughing and praising Concubine Xian for her hard work.

Immediately, the emperor informed the accompanying eunuch that he would stay at Fushou Palace tonight.

Concubine Xian was overjoyed when she heard this, she hurriedly thanked the emperor, tears glistened in Xing's eyes, she looked overwhelmed by flattery.

The emperor was even more satisfied, passed on the dinner, and after eating with the concubine Xian, the emperor felt compassion and took the initiative to mention the matter of the third prince to the concubine Xian.

"This child is reckless and disrespectful to his elders. It is for his own good that I teach him a few more times while he is young."

"The concubine knows everything. The concubine heard about him before, and only hated that she didn't mention him enough on weekdays. This child was so ignorant that the emperor bothered him. Afterwards, the concubine blamed herself and wrote many The scriptures of repentance come from self-reflection." Concubine Xian then looked at the thick stack of repentance books on the table.

The emperor took a look and went to check it, and saw that it was Xianfei's handwriting, and there were traces of drying on some paper, which seemed to be caused by Xianfei crying while writing.The emperor knew that Concubine Xian was sincerely regretting and introspecting herself, and felt even more distressed, and hurriedly patted Concubine Xian's hand and sighed for her virtuousness.

When it was time to go to bed at night, the emperor would sleep in the same bed with Concubine Xian and had no other interests.

The next day, the emperor got up under the service of the concubine Xian, and the eunuch in charge of the Hall of Supreme Harmony came to inform him that there was no urgent memorial to deal with.

Concubine Xian hurriedly said: "The concubine has the guts to ask you to taste the nourishing soup made by the concubine before leaving."

"Hands?" It usually takes several hours to cook the soup.The emperor clearly remembered that he slept with Concubine Xian last night, how could he have time to make soup?If it starts now, then Xianfei's request is too exaggerated. As a king who manages everything every day, how could he spend four or five hours waiting in vain for a bowl of soup.

Concubine Xian hurriedly saluted and apologized, and told the emperor that she got up and went to the kitchen to make it by herself last night while the emperor was asleep, and now the time is just right.

The emperor was very moved when he heard this, and he sat down quickly and asked Concubine Xian to bring the soup to taste. "The taste is really good. It's my good fortune that Aifei's craftsmanship is so exquisite, gentle and virtuous."

Concubine Xian hurriedly thanked the emperor.

Only then did the emperor drive from Fushou Palace to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to handle political affairs.There was really no important memorial to deal with. After reviewing two or three small memorials, the emperor brought tea and sipped slowly.At this time, someone came to report that Li Guogong asked for an audience.

This Li Guozheng is the father of Concubine Xian, and he holds a fourth-rank real position in the household department. He is usually very quiet and has not handed over many memorials.As soon as the emperor heard it now, he immediately announced it.

Duke Li panicked and handed over his plea for Cao Lan.

The emperor was stunned for a moment, then took the booklet and read it carefully.

Li Guogong also clarified in the excerpts that after the household department left Cao Lan, government affairs became chaotic and chaotic, and no one was in charge of major events, expressing the urgent need for an adult to preside over the overall situation in the household department.After that, he focused on explaining the innocence and pity of his former superior, the former Minister of the Household Department, Cao Lan. It is very rare to have the gentleman's character of forbearance and refraining from attacking someone else's son, so he asked the emperor to show mercy, pity Cao Lan, and reuse him.
