Lord of Fortune

Chasing people away will never happen.

I don't know what kind of tricks Chu Chen used in front of Mrs. Ding and Mrs. Tai. Now, in front of the old couple, Chu Chen has more face than his serious grandson.If the cousin of the Ding family dared to show face in front of Chu Chen, he would be accused by the old couple instead.

On weekdays, the two are busy with their own affairs, but they still find time to meet each other from time to time. Because the time they meet is not much, it seems that those times are more sweet and warm.

As a young dignitary, Chu Chen had many colleagues who wanted to lure him to drink flowers and wine, but Chu Chen never said no; if someone offered him a beautiful maid, he would also politely refuse.Others jokingly said that Princess Pingyang has not passed the door yet, so he is so afraid of his fiancée, and when she passes the door, he will not be under strict control.

After hearing this, Chu Chen only said: "I have known Qinqin since childhood. Except for my deceased mother, no woman would treat me better than Qinqin. If that is the case, why should I let Qinqin treat me better for these women? Qinqin is sad?"

"I restrain myself not because I'm afraid of Qinqin, but because I pity her and love her."

Chu Chen did what he said, and because of his shallow kinship, he regarded Han Mengqin's relatives as his own. Mr. Ding and Mrs. Ding are old, and their bones are not as healthy as they were when they were young. If there is any discomfort in his body, Chu Chen must come to visit in person and serve by the old couple's side, more filial than Han Mengqin, the granddaughter.The cousin of the Ding family, who had been picky about Chu Chen before, was very moved when he saw this situation.

When he first came to Beijing, Chu Chen's foundation was still shallow. After a period of running-in, he has established a firm foothold.He is valued by the emperor, holds military power in his hand, and is the future husband-in-law of Princess Pingyang, the future son-in-law of the empress, and many powerful children are willing to make friends with him.Chu Chen is obviously more suitable for officialdom than Ding's cousin. Ding's cousin followed Mr. Ding and was too upright.

A nephew with mediocre qualifications but sticking to his duties, and a capable future son-in-law are just right for Queen Ding.

Empress Ding needed to use Chu Chen to cultivate a force loyal to the prince, but also not allow this force to be too large, so as not to hurt the emperor's eyes.Now that the emperor is in his prime, and the prince is still young, even if he has any plans, he is not in a hurry.

The empress's family acted in an even and stable manner, and some people naturally couldn't hold back.

At the end of the month, someone read a copy of Princess Pingyang in the court hall, saying that the princess of Pingyang connived at the relatives to take over the lawsuit to obstruct the judgment and invaded the fertile land.

Han Mengqin sent someone to investigate in detail, only to find out that it turned out that the younger brother of her cheap stepmother was kidnapped, became addicted to gambling, and ruined the family business.In order to raise money for her younger brother, her cheap stepmother actually used her name to take over the lawsuit, relying on closing the case for the wealthy family who committed crimes to raise money. After tasting the sweetness a few times, she became more and more courageous , Later, she actually began to force the good people to sell the good farmland to her at a very low price.Because when Han Mengqin left Yizhou, he took away all the dowry of Empress Ding back then, and the life of the Han family was a bit tight. Han Tongpan knew that this matter was inappropriate, but he still did not stop Mrs. Han from using such improper means to get married. to collect money.

Han Tongpan and his wife are not very capable, but they can't hold back their capable and powerful daughter. There are those kind of villains who are in power who will please them for the sake of Princess Pingyang, which also allows them to live in the local area. Even the newly appointed magistrate has to give them a bit of face—the family of the prefect Hu who had a good relationship with Han Mengqin has gone elsewhere, and the magistrate Hu has now been promoted to the deputy of the fourth rank. make.

The newly appointed magistrate is not a high-spirited figure, he will do everything in order to climb up.Ever since Han Mengqin was appointed as Princess Pingyang, the newly appointed magistrate has been very polite to Han Tongjuan. In his opinion, although Princess Pingyang is not on good terms with her biological father, if her biological father asks her to do something, it is difficult How dare she not follow suit?She would not dare to bear that reputation of unfilial piety.The new magistrate is going to board Queen Ding's boat through Princess Pingyang.

Later, something happened to Queen Ding, and the new magistrate stopped for a while, for fear that he would be implicated if Queen Ding was really convicted.After the Zhang family who framed Empress Ding was punished, and the Seventh Prince was made the crown prince, the new magistrate's mind became alive again, and he was like a pug in front of Han Tongpan and his wife. , the new magistrate has nothing to do with it.Sometimes, even as long as Mrs. Han shows a little bit of meaning, the new magistrate will settle things for Mrs. Han with a very understanding look.After several times, Mrs. Han was naturally used to being ignorant, and her behavior became more outrageous.

Of course, Mrs. Han did all the evil things, and Han Tong judged him innocent.Sometimes, Mrs. Han went too far, and Han Tongpan would reprimand her a few words, but Han Tongpan did not enjoy any of the benefits Mrs. Han obtained through improper means.

After Han Mengqin learned of this, she was quite contemptuous.She directly pleaded guilty to Emperor Chongde: "The state owns the state law, and the family has family rules. Now that the father of the minister's daughter violated the state law, the minister's daughter is willing to accept the crime together with the father. Please don't condone the father's actions because of the minister's daughter. .”

"The father of my daughter is unbearable to be an official. I ask the emperor to remove the father of my daughter. From now on, my daughter is willing to support my father with half of her salary. For my father, being a wealthy and idle person is enough. "

"If there are still people who dare to commit misdeeds in the name of my courtiers in the future, I ask the emperor to punish them severely!"

Han Mengqin had no intention of interceding for Han Tongsan at all. However, no one could say that she was unfilial, but some people praised her for her righteousness.If there is one, there will be two, and if there is two, there will be three. If you don't kill the chicken this time to make an example to the monkey, there will be endless troubles in the future.Han Mengqin did not shield his biological father, which shows that he is a sensible person.It's a pity that her father really didn't know the importance of it, and instead brought down her daughter's reputation.Such a confused person, no wonder Queen Ding wanted to make peace with him.

Some people praised Han Mengqin, and naturally some people slandered her.

When Han Mengqin went to a banquet, he heard a certain wife gossiping with others: "People say that Princess Pingyang understands righteousness, but I can't see the truth! As soon as something happened to her biological father, she hurriedly separated herself from him. It can be seen that she is a A cruel and ruthless person! I dare not associate with such a person, and I might be betrayed by her anytime soon!"

The wife's husband is Lord Wang's subordinate, and the whole family usually looks up to Concubine Wang Shu, so they naturally dislike Han Mengqin.

It's a pity that this time, unfortunately, it kicked on the steel plate.

Not long after she finished speaking, she saw Chu Chen walking over with a cold face: "If you can't speak, then don't! After the banquet is over, I would like to ask Mr. Zhuang how he taught My wife, let Mrs. Zhuang slander my wife in public!"

Over the past few days, Chu Chen's official authority has become more and more serious, and when those sword eyes swept over, it was overwhelming.

The wife didn't expect that her fiancé would listen to her just a casual complaint.Immediately froze in place, embarrassed.

Han Mengqin was quite displeased when she heard someone talking about her right and wrong behind her back, but in a blink of an eye Chu Chen found her place again, defending her like this in front of others, Han Mengqin was immediately sweeter than drinking honey, for Mrs. Zhuang's slander didn't bother her much.If she came forward to teach Mrs. Zhuang a lesson, she would only embarrass Mrs. Zhuang in public, but if Chu Chen made a move, Mrs. Zhuang had better ask for blessings in the future, and pray that she would not have anything to fall into Chu Chen's hands.

However, with such an unreasonable wife as Mrs. Zhuang, what kind of good can Mr. Zhuang be?

But within a few days, he was impeached for some inappropriate remarks after drunk.Emperor Chongde had been dissatisfied with the officials of Concubine Shu's lineage recently, and when he heard the words, he directly demoted Lord Zhuang two ranks, which made him even disqualified from going to court.Mrs. Zhuang was so angry that she beat Mrs. Zhuang violently, and then came to the door to plead guilty to Chu Chen, but Chu Chen said with a sullen face: "Mr. Zhuang will be demoted because of his own misbehavior. What does it have to do with my wife?" Not to mention being an adult, even my wife’s father can’t escape punishment for doing something wrong.”

Master Zhuang heard the words and had no choice but to leave with a wry smile.

Even if everyone knew that Chu Chen ordered people to impeach Lord Zhuang to vent his anger for Han Mengqin, but no one could say that Chu Chen was avenging his personal revenge.When Chu Chen acts, he always grasps the "reason".

In the end, Han Tongsan's incident ended with Han Tongsan's dismissal as Chu Chen had hinted.The one who ended up in the same fate as Han Tongjuan was the new magistrate who wanted to curry favor with him.

Emperor Chongde liked officials of the faction of hard work, and he had never liked this kind of officials who did not put their minds on the right path and only cared about their own interests all day long.Fortunately, Han Tongpan and the new magistrate have been colluding for a short time, and no one has ever been killed. Otherwise, this matter may not be so easy to settle.

Both civil and military officials in the court thought that this matter would come to an end, but who knows, Chu Chen found evidence that the censors who impeached Han Mengqin accepted bribes and deliberately distorted the facts. In front of Emperor Chongde, he said: "The censor's right to supervise is a matter of his own duty, but the two censors, Zhou and Zhang, deliberately framed the Princess of Pingyang, and then tarnished the reputation of the royal family. I believe that this trend should not be encouraged. "

Regardless of Han Mengqin's background, from the moment she became Princess Pingyang who became the Royal Jade Butterfly, she has been inextricably linked with the royal family.Do you really think that impeaching the royal princess at will can get away unscathed?dream!

If the two censors hadn't been caught, they could say that they were misled, but a few days before the impeachment of Han Mengqin, they both received unknown money... Once the evidence was presented, Emperor Chongde was not Fool, immediately punish these two censors severely.Manchao Wenwu once again realized how much Chu Chen defended his fiancée. Unless they caught their veins, whoever dared to provoke Han Mengqin would have to wait for Chu Chen to tear off a piece of flesh!

Others aside, Empress Ding is very satisfied with Chu Chen's behavior.That's how her son-in-law should be, if he can protect her daughter.Emperor Chongde also praised Chu Chen a lot in private. After the lingering, he pressed his forehead to Queen Ding's forehead and said in a gentle voice: "I finally understand why the queen is so satisfied with that kid. That kid is a man of affection." .”

After a pause, Emperor Chongde said again: "Queen, don't worry, from now on, I will protect you just like that kid protects Pingyang."

Regarding this, Empress Ding just smiled and did not answer, a mist appeared in her beautiful eyes.

There may be some sincerity in what the emperor said, but she never dared to believe it.
