After the Gu of the Red Chamber

If possible, Xia Dequan really wanted to give Tu Lei a good spanking.

Xia Dequan secretly had a headache, he really didn't know that Brother Lei was so troublesome, first he went to Mrs. Jia's birthday banquet, so that the court had a vague message from the son of the deposed prince , Then he appeared in front of the Holy Majesty generously, as if he was afraid that people would not know that he was the son of the deposed prince.

This child is not afraid that the Holy One will be annoyed, so he directly sends him back to be with the abolished prince. In this way, wouldn't it be a waste of all the hard work that the prince and concubine tried to send him out back then!

Xia De secretly gritted his teeth angrily, but still had to help Xu Cheek on his face, and forced a smile: "Maybe it's a coincidence!"

Although many people in the court knew of Tu Lei's existence, Emperor Pingkang really didn't know about it. After all, Emperor Pingkang was the emperor and it was related to royal secrets. Who would have the guts to gossip in his ear?

Xia Dequan also thought that he could delay it day by day, so he tried his best to take it lightly, but Emperor Pingkang looked at Tu Lei's appearance, and shook his head solemnly after a long time, "I'm afraid it will be more than that."

Not only his appearance, but also his many small actions are very like a prince. After all, he has been an emperor for many years, and he knows that there are not so many coincidences in this world. This child... I'm afraid there is something wrong.

Out of curiosity, Emperor Pingkang pondered: "Let's go in."

Xia Dequan secretly broke out in a cold sweat, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and answer: "Yes."

"Wait!" Emperor Pingkang pondered slightly, "Get someone to set up a secluded room, don't disturb the children, and..."

Emperor Pingkang glanced thoughtfully at Qin Keqing and Daiyu's faces, "Let someone go and find out who is accompanying that child."

That's all for that little girl, and the appearance of that young woman really makes people care.

Although successively died early that year, he had a very good relationship with his husband and wife back then, and the appearance of successively was deeply imprinted in his heart. Although the woman was young, her appearance was inexplicably similar to that of successively. Let him also can't help but care.

Xia Dequan had no choice but to respond in a low voice.

"Yes."

Xia Dequan couldn't help but gave Tu Lei a veiled look, and suppressed the idea of ​​spanking a kid, and let people make arrangements not to mention it.

The reason why Zhuangyuan Building can be named as Zhuangyuan Building naturally has its reasons.

For one thing, the Zhuangyuan Building is just on the main street that Jinshi Parade Street must pass. You can watch the Jinshi Parade from the Zhuangyuan Building. three words.

The food in the Zhuangyuan Building is not very good, but because of the name and the bustle of the Zhuangyuan Parade every three years, the Zhuangyuan Building has been steadily becoming the leader among the restaurants in the capital over the years.

With Zhuangyuanlou Yinyin being the head of all restaurants, it has been able to operate well until now, and there is naturally someone behind it, and that person is none other than Emperor Pingkang.

Because many officials like to talk in the Zhuangyuan Building, there are actually many secret designs in the Zhuangyuan Building, so that the hidden guards can eavesdrop. A special room was arranged for Ping Kangdi.

Facing Emperor Pingkang, who was full of enthusiasm and wanted to find out the origin of Tu Lei, Xia De was secretly helpless. He could only hope that Brother Lei would never say anything that should not be said, otherwise it would be troublesome.

In fact, Xia Dequan really misunderstood Tu Lei this time.

If Tu Lei seeks death again, he will not seek death with his wife and sister. This time it is really a coincidence that he came to drink tea and listen to gossip with his sister and his future wife.

With Qin Keqing pulling the line, Tu Lei was finally able to see Daiyu from time to time. Although Jia Min and Lin Ruhai seemed to know something, they agreed every time reluctantly, but out of ten times, they always succeeded once or twice. Second-rate.

With Daiyu and Qin Keqing, Tu Lei didn't dare to mess around, and he just went to the Zhuangyuan Building to drink tea, so he knew he would meet Emperor Pingkang.

After all, this is also a habit that Tu Lei has had in his previous life. When he was the emperor, his favorite thing to do was to go to the Zhuangyuan Building, order a pot of tea, drink tea, and listen to the people in the Zhuangyuan Building. talk.

As an emperor, you can’t stay in the Forbidden City all the time. If you stay in the Forbidden City for a long time, everything you see and hear is what the minister told him, or the news passed by the eunuch. It is easy to be deceived by others. Lei would go to Zhuangyuan Building from time to time to listen to the sounds outside.

Because of its reputation as the No. [-] Scholar, the Zhuangyuan Building is also the favorite place for scholars in Beijing. Scholars are the best thing to do, and they love to criticize. Young scholars are even more unscrupulous and dare to say anything. In the Zhuangyuan Building, he can listen. To a lot of truth.

As usual, Tu Lei ordered a pot of tea and a few plates of dim sum, and began to gossip openly.

If you want to talk about the most famous event in Beijing recently, it is naturally the matter of the Zhen family, not to mention that the extravagance of the Zhen family has already caused public outrage, and the family with children hates the traffickers even more, so when the Zhen family matter is mentioned, everyone Filled with righteous indignation, he couldn't wait to rush to Huangzhuang to kill Zhen's family.

Originally, Emperor Pingkang was curious about what Tu Lei and others would say, but he knew that Tu Lei and others did not speak at all, but just listened intently to the nonsense of those scholars, and Pingkang Emperor followed suit out of curiosity, but the more he listened, the more annoyed he became. Zhang's face was flushed with anger, and he wished he could kill those scholars directly.

Emperor Pingkang has been reluctant to dispose of the Zhen family for a long time. Not only did the court ministers not understand, but even Xia Dequan didn't understand. There were all kinds of rumors and gossips. That's all.And these scholars are probably young and energetic, and they are interested in romantic affairs. They really have no scruples when they speak, and there are all kinds of guesses.

Some people even speculated whether there was any ulterior affair between Emperor Pingkang and Mrs. Zhen, and they said it clearly, and cited the incident of Concubine Wan Gui and Zheng Jing, who had an affair with a nurse and gave birth to a child in the early years of the previous dynasty, as an example , It was really very fragrant, Qin Keqing couldn't help but blushed when she heard it, and spit secretly.

Not to mention that these scholars love wind, flowers, snow and moon, they really analyze things clearly, as if there is something real, even Concubine Zhen loves the house and the house because of this. The old lady Zhen got involved, and she was only left wondering whether Zhen Yingjia was the illegitimate son of Emperor Pingkang.

Emperor Pingkang's old face was flushed with anger, if he hadn't been worried that he was eavesdropping, he might have been unable to resist yelling and yelling regardless.

And Xia Dequan listened to a few words, and wiped his sweat secretly. This group of scholars not only had big brains, but they were also brave enough to dare to say such words.

But after being mentioned by those people, Xia Dequan couldn't help but stared curiously at Emperor Pingkang's Xiasan Road. Speaking of which, he can also be said to be the worm in Emperor Pingkang's stomach. As long as the Holy Majesty moves his heart, he will know immediately , only the fact that the Holy Majesty has favored Mrs. Zhen all these years really puzzled him. Could it be that the Holy Majesty really has a preference for Mrs. Zhen?

Although he was distracted, seeing that Emperor Pingkang was really angry, Xia Dequan quickly summoned the boss of Zhuangyuan Building, and gave a few instructions softly. But it's too bad if you miss your own future.

The old shopkeeper of Zhuangyuan Building understood, and quickly asked Xiaoer to hint, don't look at these scholars scolding people, they are really superior, when they heard that there are noble people, they suddenly behaved again, and they praised the Holy One without saying a word. After a while they parted ways.

Emperor Pingkang snorted coldly, finally feeling a little better.

He ordered: "Remember the names of those coquettish bastards just now!"

His face is ferocious, making you talkative and making up nonsense!There are also those who are good at editing, so why should they be officials if they are so good?Just concentrate on writing the script!

Hearing the long-lost four words 'beautiful bitch', Xia Dequan paused strangely, and finally answered yes in a low voice.

After all, the Holy Majesty grew up in the palace, so this swearing... inevitably has a bit of palace style. When he heard the words "coquettish and slut", Xia Dequan was sure that the Holy Majesty was really angry.

The scholars dispersed like flowing water, and the bustling Zhuangyuan building became quiet instantly, and even the people in the wing room noticed it. Daiyu asked suspiciously, "Why did these people leave suddenly?"

She was happy to hear it, why did she suddenly disappear?

Tu Lei snorted coldly, and said lightly: "I'm afraid some noble person has come."

Don't look at these scholars who seem to dare to say anything, but when something happens, they immediately shrink back like something, but I don't know who is it, who will stop these scholars from continuing to speak?

You must know that Emperor Pingkang's bias towards the Zhen family's affairs this time is really unreasonable, and there are quite a few dissatisfied people in the court. There should be no one who has so many things to stop these scholars from continuing to talk, unless... …

Tu Lei's heart skipped a beat, he was afraid that they really bumped into a 'big shot' this time.

Tu Lei directly dipped his fingers in the tea and wrote a few words on the table, Daiyu understood and nodded slightly.

She deliberately laughed loudly: "Brother Jun, do you think what those people said is true?"

Cough, even if Tu Lei didn't tell her, she was also very curious, is there any story that must be told between Emperor Pingkang and Mrs. Zhen?After all, Emperor Pingkang was a little too partial to the Zhen family, and it was beyond her expectation.

Tu Lei frowned slightly, and said bluntly: "It's hard to say, after all, there are examples in the past."

Although in his impression, the emperor's grandfather has always liked young girls with fair complexion, good looks, and good figure, Zhen Guifei has indeed been favored for many years. The other concubines are better, no matter what new favorites they are, they can't surpass Concubine Zhen, so it's hard to say if there are other problems here.

Hearing this, Xia Dequan couldn't bear to look at Emperor Pingkang's face, he almost knelt down to Tu Lei, little master, the trouble comes from his mouth.

Qin Keqing couldn't understand the secret signals between the two children, but she couldn't help but frowned and reminded: "The Holy Spirit has any special preferences, and I can't wait to ask about them."

Even so, she paused, and couldn't help sighing: "No wonder Yuan Chun hasn't been favored after entering the palace for so many years, it's really weird."

Although she has not been married to Ningguo Mansion for a few years, she has seen Yuan Chun before. Yuan Chun was carefully cultivated by Mrs. Jia. Regardless of her appearance and demeanor, she is really not bad. She will definitely be a concubine. But silently, let alone a concubine, she didn't even get along with the most basic nobleman.

How to say that Yuan Chun is the daughter of the Rongguo Mansion, so it is reasonable that he should not even have the slightest chance, but if it is the Holy Majesty's special preferences, then it is reasonable.Isn't Yuan Chun the old lady Zhen after all? It's normal for the Holy Majesty not to be interested in her.

Although Qin Keqing told Tu Lei and Daiyu to stop talking, but these words directly put Ping Kangdi on the pillar of shame for having an affair with his own nanny.

Daiyu and Tu Lei silently gave Qin Keqing a thumbs up, this knife is well inserted.

Hearing this, Emperor Pingkang finally couldn't bear it anymore. It was fine for others to suspect that he had a special interest, but his own grandson suspected him. He could bear it, who couldn't bear it, so he couldn't help it now Come out, and said with a smile: "Little baby, this royal matter is not something you can talk about."

He glanced at Qin Keqing pointedly, and hinted: "Madam, please take the child back as soon as possible, lest the child talk nonsense and cause trouble for the family."

Qin Keqing's complexion changed drastically, and when she was about to pull Tu Lei and Daiyu away, Tu Lei shook her head and said, "As an emperor, if you have no room for others, how can you sit firmly in that position."

To put it bluntly, if Emperor Pingkang hadn't done too much in the matter of the Zhen family this time, there wouldn't be all kinds of untold legends in the capital.

Emperor Pingkang's face changed slightly, "My child! How old are you, how can you talk about the emperor's affairs."

As a prince, the last thing he should do is talk in vain about the emperor's affairs. Although Emperor Pingkang was suspicious of the child's identity, he felt a little displeased when he heard this.

Tu Lei said quietly: "Although it's hard to say about the others, if the emperor himself doesn't abide by the law, there will be no fairness and justice in the world."

Regardless of the fact that his father was framed by the Zhen family, the emperor's grandfather was wrong about the Zhen family alone.

Emperor Pingkang was displeased at the moment, "What do you mean the sage does not obey the law!"

It's not that he said, as an emperor, he has a lot of self-control, and he has never done anything that he shouldn't have done in his life.

Tu Lei's eyes narrowed slightly, "According to the laws of the Jin Dynasty, the traffickers are late, and those who know the inside are tattooed, but the family members of the Zhen family are still well-behaved, how can it be in accordance with the laws of the Jin Dynasty!?"

The lightest of the masterminds of human traffickers should be a decisive decision. Although Zhen Yingjia died, according to the law, he should be punished after death.

In addition, all insiders, including the family members of the Zhen family, regardless of gender, should be punished with hard labor after having their faces tattooed, and they will be slaves to officials forever, but Emperor Pingkang still supports the Zhen family, which is wrong.

Even for him, it is really hard to accept that since Emperor Pingkang would try to erase this matter, he would put Zhen's family before Dajin Law, this is simply sick!

Emperor Pingkang was silent for a long time, and finally said in a low voice: "The law is nothing more than human feelings. The old lady of the Zhen family has always educated the current sage. It is inevitable that the sage treats her kindly."

After all, this child is not him, and he can understand his struggle and distress.

Tu Lei shook his head, "The law is nothing more than human feelings, which means that the law generally does not exceed the ethics and morals of ordinary people, and it does not mean that the law can be used as an excuse to bend the law for personal gain (Note [-]).

Furthermore, Mrs. Zhen is today's nanny, and the Holy One owes Mrs. Zhen a debt of favor, but what about other families who have lost their children?What did they owe Mrs. Zhen, and why should they separate their children for nothing?What do those children who lost their lives owe the Zhen family? "

Thinking of this, Tu Lei felt a little heavy, "There are hundreds of people! Everyone knows that they died at the hands of the Zhen family. If they don't know, there may be more."

These hundreds of lives are still remembered by the adopted daughters of the Zhen family, and there are more who are not remembered by the adopted daughters of the Zhen family.

Tu Lei continued: "My Dajin law attaches the most importance to human life. No matter how big or small a case is, as long as it is related to human life, it must be carefully tried. All death sentences must be reviewed by the Ministry of Punishment. It will only be executed after confirmation. Before the law, take the lead and don't take human life seriously, and in the long run, follow the example, I'm afraid... the Great Jin is in danger."

The emperor is the most willful profession in the world, but also the least willful profession. By doing this, Emperor Pingkang is simply taking the entire Jin Dynasty to accompany him crazy!

Tu Lei secretly sighed, and there was an indescribable disappointment in the sigh. When he thought that the imperial grandfather in this world was even more stupid than the imperial grandfather in the original world, he couldn't help sighing, it's dangerous, he is not like the imperial grandfather.

Emperor Pingkang's rare old face was flushed, he was speechless, he couldn't argue if he wanted to, and felt a little ashamed for a while.

For a moment, Emperor Pingkang felt that he was determined to punish the Zhen family, but when he thought about it, he felt dizzy and couldn't stand up.

Xia Dequan was startled, he quickly supported Emperor Pingkang, and said in a sharp voice: "Master, you are not feeling well?"

He gave Tu Lei a helpless look, the little ancestor was so happy just now that he scolded him, and he didn't think about whether the Holy Majesty could bear it, looking at the appearance of the Holy Majesty, he would not be surprised if Tu Lei fainted from anger.

Tu Lei said happily, but he didn't notice that Daiyu didn't help at all this time.

Daiyu stared straight at the faintly floating blue veins on Emperor Pingkang's temples and the faintly looming worm patterns in the veins, and frowned slightly.

If she guessed correctly, this Emperor Pingkang is really weird!

The first grandparents meeting between Emperor Pingkang and Tu Lei ended in discord, not to mention that Emperor Pingkang sighed after returning to the palace and was still undecided. I couldn't help but talk about Tu Lei.

"You too, why are you serious with him!"

Even if she didn't know it for a while, but she saw that the man always favored the Zhen family and agreed with Emperor Pingkang's refusal to judge the Zhen family, how could she not see it?Not to mention that when Xia Dequan was nervous earlier, his voice was not hidden at all, it was high-pitched and thin, and he could tell it was someone from the palace.

Since Xia Dequan was from the palace, the identity of the old man next to him was immediately revealed.

Qin Keqing was startled when she thought that she accidentally bumped into the current saint, and not only herself, but brother Lei also bumped into him, and even scolded Emperor Pingkang. Taught Tu Lei a lesson, the inner and outer meaning of this remark is to ask him to settle down and stop seeing those people who shouldn't be seen.

Tu Lei is really speechless, and his sister really thinks highly of him, he has the ability to know the whereabouts of the Holy One, and then bumped into him in the Zhuangyuan Tower by such a coincidence, this time it was really an accident!

Helpless, even Xia Dequan didn't believe him, let alone others, thinking about Xia Dequan's protest from Xia Xingquan, Tu Lei could only touch his nose helplessly.

"Sister." Tu Lei said with a wry smile, "This time it was really an accident."

"How poor you are!" Qin Keqing rolled her eyes bluntly, not believing a word.

She paused and then sighed: "I know you have your own ideas, but when your father and aunt sent you out, they didn't expect you to go back to the palace to reverse the case for him. What they cared about was your safety. Anyway, you You must never let yourself fall into it."

She originally thought that Brother Lei was just like her, but an illegitimate child, but after hearing Xia Xingquan say a few words, she realized that Brother Lei was the son of the Crown Princess.

No wonder my father tried his best to send Brother Lei out. After all, Brother Lei is too eye-catching. If Brother Lei was still in the palace, he might not survive, but now Brother Lei has fallen into the eyes of the Holy Majesty , if the people of the new crown prince know, I'm afraid...

Qin Keqing was worried, really worried about Tu Lei.

Tu Lei talked for a long time before he managed to comfort Qin Keqing, but since Daiyu met Emperor Pingkang, she has been silent, so quiet that she hardly looks like Daiyu.

Tu Lei couldn't help pushing Daiyu, "What's wrong with you?"

Why has she been so quiet since meeting Emperor Pingkang?It's not like her at all.

Tu Lei comforted: "Don't worry too much, I'm the one who scolded him, I think it won't hurt Yue...ahem, Uncle Lin."

If yes, then he can only say that the imperial grandfather's tolerance is too small.

Daiyu shook her head, "I'm not worried about this."

She is not yet seven years old, and Tu Lei has attracted Pingkangdi's firepower, so Pingkangdi will not notice her at all.

What she cares about...is that Emperor Pingkang is suspected of being poisoned by a gu.

Daiyu pondered for a moment, and finally told about the suspected Pingkang Emperor being poisoned.

Tu Lei frowned slightly, "Isn't this matter related to the Zhen family?"

Seriously speaking, his imperial grandfather is definitely not a fatuous and incompetent person, that is, he has been confused about the Zhen family's matter, but if he has been poisoned, then it can be explained.

After being dominated by Xiao Honghong for a period of time, Tu Lei naturally knew that Gu poison could only be imagined, but there was nothing he couldn't do. It was not impossible for the emperor's grandfather to become mentally disabled when he encountered Zhen's family affairs.

Daiyu nodded slightly, "If you hadn't talked about Zhen's family affairs earlier, the Gu worm wouldn't move, and I wouldn't notice it either."

For some reason, the Gu worm in Emperor Pingkang's body was unexpectedly weak. She didn't notice it at all when the Gu worm was inactive. He was hit by a gu.

Tu Lei pondered slightly, "The Gu could be..."

He was a little suspicious, that Gu was placed by the Zhen family, so the emperor's grandfather would be stupid whenever he encountered Zhen's family affairs.

Daiyu nodded slightly, "It should be."

She seriously doubted that the Gu in Emperor Pingkang's body was placed by Mrs. Zhen, otherwise Pingkangdi would not have valued Mrs. Zhen more than anything else.

But that Gu always gave her a very weird feeling, it had no vitality at all, and it was the first time she saw such a lazy Gu, it felt... as if no one was controlling it.

Tu Lei pondered slightly, "Can you solve it?"

The case of the Zhen family not only involved those poor girls, but it was also related to the matter of the abolition of the crown prince. This case must be overturned. If the emperor's grandfather has been partial to the Zhen family, he has no chance of overturning the case.

Daiyu sighed helplessly, "I'm afraid it's not that easy."

It's easy to cast a Gu, but it's not so easy to undo it, if one is not good, I'm afraid it will damage Emperor Pingkang's lifespan.
