Queen's Road in the Red House

Ningshou Palace has a rich, soft and warm aroma, with a touch of pear flavor, not too sweet.

The emperor, who was dizzy and dizzy from the courtiers, felt a little more relaxed: "Father, the incense here is very good."

The Supreme Emperor was sitting cross-legged on the couch under the window. Because he was wearing a big cloak made of bear skin, his whole person was like a big furry bear preparing to hibernate, looking very comfortable.The emperor is still a little envious and jealous: it is not easy to be the emperor, it is better to be too emperor.

"I heard that there was a quarrel in Chaoshang, and it lasted for two hours?"

Speaking of this, the emperor's already relieved dizziness began to increase again.

In the 20 years before the Supreme Emperor ascended the throne, the world was not peaceful - just look at the fact that the emperor himself had to carry a sword to fight.Therefore, the military generals were in charge of the DPRK and China that day.However, after the world was at peace, civil servants quietly gained the upper hand and became civil servants controlling military generals.

There is no way, most of the military generals are clumsy and tongue-tied, and if the military situation changes, they have to scratch their heads or directly hand it to the military advisers below, while civil servants practice writing and speaking since the imperial examinations. A military general who is peaceful in the world is really unstoppable.

Now Xu Yushi is suing the Rongguo Mansion, and it is the civil servants who are suing the generals.

Chaozhong immediately exploded.

The crows in the world are generally black, and all the nobles in the families of military generals have more or less illegal income, especially the four princes and eight princes, who have existed since the founding of the country, have great meritorious deeds and boldness.It is good to collect the people's wool like Rongguo Mansion. Many people directly collect the country's wool, and the water transport salt business dares to reach out.

As the saying goes, officials and officials protect each other, Wang Ziteng and Shi Jia, who were directly dragged into the water, wanted to fight back, while the rest of the generals who were indirectly swept by the tail of the typhoon also began to jump high.

Xu Yushi's impeachment letter is like a guide/fire/cable, causing the conflict between civil servants and military generals to erupt suddenly.

When the Supreme Emperor was around, they didn't dare to quarrel, but when the Emperor was the new emperor, they dared.

This new emperor is like a new daughter-in-law. When he first came to the throne, he was mostly "gentle and shy, move less and watch more". If he doesn't take the opportunity to quarrel, the emperor will definitely not be so gentle and easy to talk after he is firmly seated.

So it was as lively as a pot of boiling water.

After hearing what the emperor said, the Supreme Emperor just smiled: "That's right, it's good if you don't do anything."

The corner of the emperor's mouth twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but said: "Although I didn't do anything, it's almost done."

After arguing for an hour and a half, all the rhetoric was exhausted, and the group of generals who were not around with their staff gradually ran out of words. Only two or three people with both civil and military skills like Wang Ziteng were still struggling to support them.

Among them, Ma Shang, the current third-rank Weiyuan general in the government of the country, was furious, and said to Xu Yushi: "If my grandfather hadn't brought down the rebels and refugees in Shu that day, your ancestors of the Xu family would have died in the chaos of the war. Where would there be?" you!"

The emperor originally sat on top of them and watched them quarrel: usually he was polite and could not see anything, but now he could just see the closeness of the party and the temperament of the officials.

But the Government of the People's Republic of China began to attack personally, and the emperor waved his hand to stop and reprimanded him.

Wang Ziteng said respectfully: "Your Majesty, if you are negligent in managing your family, you should be punished if you are guilty. But Mr. Xu pointed out that the corpses of the ministers are vegetarian meals, and the country's wealth is chilling. There are even people with ulterior motives who incite the court party and propose to cut the nobles and pick the plaques." Such words, almost wiped out the achievements of the ancestors who died in bloody battles, the ministers really couldn't bear it."

There were many generals who seconded the proposal, and they all said that their family has been going on for several generations, and it is inevitable that there will be some bold slaves. They themselves don't know what the fault is.General Chen of Duke Qi's Mansion snorted coldly at Xu's family: "Rongguo Mansion is so rich, how can they still value the money they put in? It's not your Xu family, the poor will be like pants!"

Xu Yushi shut up: a scholar meets a soldier, there is no reason to explain it.

You present evidence to them, and they play tricks on you, what else is there to say.

The emperor was tired of seeing the excitement and hearing the quarrels, so he handed the matter over to the Criminal Department of Dali Temple and Jing Zhaoyin for a joint trial, and ordered him to retire.

Turning around, he came to the Supreme Emperor, and it was broadcast live.

The Supreme Emperor pondered for a while and said: "I know that you have been dissatisfied with them since the Rongguo Mansion embezzled the Lin family's property last time."

The emperor who is the real property owner, Wei Wei feels a little bit guilty.

The Supreme Emperor took the emperor's silence as acquiescence, and sighed slightly: "Forget it, then you can let go of this matter, and deal with it as you want."

After all, it was the first honorable person who fell into the hands of the emperor by mistake. If the emperor blindly defends them, they will only become more confident in the future, and maybe even the emperor will not take them seriously.

The old ministers are affectionate, but his own son and his country are more important.

The emperor was overjoyed and nodded in response.

After all, the Supreme Emperor couldn't be cruel, so he ordered: "Don't hinder your life, and don't involve too much."

--

Rongguofu.

Mrs. Wang was still saying two days ago that she felt that her family had been unlucky in the past six months, but only today did she know what real unlucky is.

Mrs. Wang Ziteng hurried to Jia's house today. Faced with the evidence of the second wife's crimes presented by Jia Min, her complexion turned from white to green. She refused to see Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue again, and went back to the mansion angrily.

After returning, he said to Prince Teng: "Master Shi Taijun of the Rongguo Mansion is a mother-in-law, and a strong man cut off his wrists and separated the family, and abandoned the second room. Don't you, an older brother, still be reluctant to let go? From now on, we will walk around more. Over there, brother."

Wang Ziteng was quite sad, but sad for his sister, Wang Ziteng chose this path without hesitation: Once Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs investigate, then push the second room out, and always keep the title of the Rongguo Mansion. , the four major families will not fall.

Mrs. Wang is not a fool, and she understands everything today.

Couldn't help smashing a lot of things, and half cried and half cursed at Yuan Chun: "Tiger poison doesn't eat children, how can there be such a vicious old woman in the world! Since she knew that our family was being targeted by Xu Yushi, she should have reminded me earlier , let’s just wipe out all the accounts.”

"However, seeing our second room jumping into the fire pit, he didn't say a word, instead we separated in advance and cleaned up the first room!"

Yuan Chun's face was also pale: the day before yesterday, she still felt dissatisfied that after the separation, she was just the daughter of a member of the Ministry of Industry, but today she saw that she was about to become the daughter of a criminal minister!

Jia Zheng was also sitting in the room, but he had no sense of presence, and could only watch his wife scolding his daughter and crying.

She even agreed with Mrs. Wang in her heart: the mother was so cruel, she said that she was more partial to herself, and let herself live in Rongxi Hall for ten years.But when it came to a matter of life and death, he sacrificed himself to protect the big house.

Mrs. Wang continued to cry and scold: "But we are all the same family, so what good will it do us if we are harmed? It's like lard has blinded our hearts."

After all, Yuan Chun stayed in the palace for many years, and he didn't just cry. He persuaded Mrs. Wang, "Mother, this time it was Xu Yushi who reported on our family. He is the father of the second princess, and this may not be aimed at us." , but the Fourth Prince! There is nothing wrong with our family for nearly a hundred years, the old lady pushed our second wife out to bear all the mistakes, in order to preserve Rongguo Mansion's reputation as the ancestral home of the Fourth Prince's concubine."

Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang were shocked.

After she figured it out, Mrs. Wang covered her face and cried bitterly: "What kind of evil did you do? We didn't get a little bit of that short-lived girl's glory, and in the end we have to suffer for her! Yuanchun, you just follow me to your uncle!" He will not bear to see us as stepping stones!"

At this time, Mrs. Wang didn't know that her brother was about to "kill Ma Su with tears" and gave her up.

As the culprit, Erfang was in a mess, but Jia Amnesty was not much better.

He himself has no real shortage and doesn't need to go to the court, but he still has some contacts after all. Hearing the words of "seizing the title", "removing the plaque" and "severely punishing the crime" passed down by the court today, his heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys were all scared out of place.

After walking back and forth eight times at the entrance of Rongqing Hall, Jia Min let him in.

Seeing Jia She's panic-stricken hair, Jia Min sighed from the bottom of his heart: Is this really his father's flesh and blood?Thinking about my father's life as a soldier and countless achievements, how could he give birth to two sons, Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng?

Jia Lian saw that his father was in a panic, so he hurriedly informed Jia Min of the news he had inquired from outside.

"Now this matter has been handed over to Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Justice. My grandson will go out tomorrow and walk around a lot..."

Jia Min interrupted: "No need."

Jia Lian was stunned.

"The Fourth Highness has known about this for a long time, and wants to protect our family, so I hurriedly separated the family. The purpose is to give up the second house to keep you." Jia Min said the truth directly, otherwise Jia Amnesty might not be able to. do not understand.

Sure enough, Jia Amnesty looked up at Jia Min in a daze.

After a while to react, tears flowed freely: "Mother, my son only thought you were biased, but in fact you still value me as the eldest son."

This wail made Jia Min's hair stand on end.

Quickly stopped: "No need."

But I thought in my heart: If Mother Jia is still there, will she protect the big house in the face of such a situation that requires a strong man to cut off his wrist?Although Jia pardoned the title, Jia's mother may not be sure that the change of title directly gave Jia Baoyu's heart.

Jia Amnesty took the handkerchief from his son and wiped away his old tears, then asked anxiously, "It's just that even the historians of the Wang family have been involved in this matter. Although the second room has been separated, can we get out unscathed? If Rong The country is destroyed in my hands, how can my father rest in peace when he is underground?"

Jia Min said indifferently: "After dealing with the main culprit, the rest depends on the emperor's mood."

Even for such a major event as abolishing the crown prince and rebelling, whether the people involved should be judged as serious crimes or let go lightly is also in the mind of the emperor.

What's more, here in Rongguo Mansion, Erfang has already taken the blame.

If the superiors are dissatisfied with the Rongguo Mansion, they can take the opportunity to thoroughly investigate and seize the title. If they want to let go, Jia Amnesty is nothing more than a small crime of lax family management.

After Jia Amnesty figured this out, he asked piously, "Is the emperor in a good mood?"

Jia Min: ...

Jia Lian hurriedly pulled his father and said, "Master, dear father, how can you guess the heart of the emperor?"

Jia Min sighed with sincerity: "Go find a clearer to write a letter of apology, and then hand over the evidence of our family's separation a few days ago, just say that you found out that the second wife's behavior violated the law of the country, but Brothers and compatriots, flesh and blood, cannot bear to report, so I can only order him to repent and ask his family members to witness the separation."

Hearing this, Jia Amnesty couldn't help muttering: "If I had known that there would be a disaster today, I might as well have reported on the second child myself that day."

Jia Min glanced at him, and Jia Lian immediately said: "This is impossible. The Supreme Emperor values ​​friendship the most. Even if the former prince rebelled, he would only be confined. All the old soldiers who went out with the old saint that day will be treated favorably. If father, you will come forward and report Brother, I'm afraid that the Supreme Emperor will feel that you, an elder brother, are unkind and unrighteous. But what the ancestors said is that now the father confesses his faults in the book, although he is wrong, he is also sympathetic."

Jia Min nodded to Jia Lian: "Lian'er has some knowledge. You can do this."

Although Jia Lian is the eldest son in this family, he is a bit pitiful.With my grandmother, she had never been favored by Jia Baoyu like that. His father only cared about drinking with his little wife and beat him frequently, and his stepmother had her eyes on money. Today, she suddenly got approval, and she was quite excited.

Jia Amnesty was also happy: Anyway, this is not a good thing, if the son can resist it, he doesn't need to be frightened.

After Jia Amnesty left, Jia Min said to Jia Lian alone: ​​"Lien'er, you go to the Wang's house in person." The tone was solemn: "Do something for His Royal Highness."

--

Aunt Xue sent off the crying Mrs. Wang, and she couldn't help but sat down and wept.

Baochai came out of the inner room and handed her the hand stove: "Mother, don't be sad."

"Your aunt and I are direct sisters. When your father passed away and your brother committed an offense and our family was in trouble, she also sincerely helped us. But this time, I had no choice but to kill her..."

Baochai's eyes were also red, but her words were still firm: "Mother is wrong, no one has harmed my aunt, she did all these evil things herself."

"But we gave the evidence of her lending to the Xu family..."

"It's just part of the evidence. Besides, isn't the bigger crime of the aunt's family a champerty lawsuit?"

Baochai comforted Aunt Xue.

Five days ago, Aunt Xue went out to offer incense, and met Mrs. Xu, the eldest sister-in-law of Concubine Ming, in Changhe Temple.

Mrs. Xu invited her to drink tea together and revealed two important news.

One is the second prince's side concubine, and it's a pity that the concubine Ming is not a girl from the Xue family.Before Aunt Xue had time to lose her mind, Mrs. Xu smiled and said: "But the lady really likes the Xue family girl, and the princes can have two side concubines. It's just that before the big wedding, only one side concubine can be appointed, and Miss Xue will wait two more. That's the year."

Aunt Xue frowned: "But my Baochai is 15 years old now, wait two years..."

Mrs. Xu smiled peacefully: "The second prince's main concubine is appointed by the emperor, and the side concubine is chosen by the empress as the aunt. Of course, the remaining side concubine must be chosen by the biological mother. If Mrs. Xue doesn't believe it, she can marry her daughter to someone else." In the final analysis, His Royal Highness is the son of a dragon and a grandson of a phoenix, so there is no shortage of concubines, this side concubine is the daughter of a fourth-rank official in Taichang Temple, so it can be seen that the emperor values ​​His Royal Highness Second Highness."

After playing hard to get like this, Aunt Xue really fell silent.

Yes, that's the prince's side concubine.

What Mrs. Xu said next shocked Aunt Xue even more.

"What?" She laughed hurriedly: "Madam Xu must have misheard, my sister has been in charge of the Rongguo Mansion for many years, and she has always been generous and merciful..."

Mrs. Xu waved her hand: "Mrs. Xue don't need to be sloppy with me, as far as I know, there are two transactions including your money."

Aunt Xue dared not say any more.

Mrs. Xu unhurriedly took a sip of the tea that the servant brought, watched Aunt Xue's fidgeting for a while, and then continued: "I heard that Mr. Xue once accidentally killed someone."

Aunt Xue was terrified and could no longer calm down.

No matter how others look down on Xue Pan, but that is her only son, the only child of the Xue family, and nothing will happen to him.

Mrs. Xu's voice fell in Aunt Xue's ears: "Your Majesty the Fourth Highness will definitely not sit idly by and ignore his wife and family. As long as he is willing to take out the Rongguo Mansion and the Wang family, then the evidence of Mr. Xue's past crimes will naturally be cleared." It can be eliminated. With such a good thing, why is Mrs. Xue hesitating?"

"It's just that sister Ling's criminal evidence is handed over to us, and it's not a fabricated frame-up. Anyway, this matter will come out sooner or later. If Mrs. Xue refuses, we will only spend ten days and a half months to search by ourselves."

"But if Mrs. Xue is willing to help us, it will save our Xu family's worry and the Second Highness's peace of mind. The Ming Concubine and the Second Highness will remember it. After Miss Xue enters the door in the future, won't life be easier?"

Mrs. Xu pinched Aunt Xue's two dead spots, her son and her daughter.

So Aunt Xue confessed to Mrs. Wang without hesitation, although she was in pain and tears.

As a result, the next day she heard that the Rongguo Mansion had split up, and today she saw Mrs. Wang crying miserably because of the Xu family's lawsuit. Aunt Xue was a little ashamed, and she also cried.

It was Baochai who persuaded her for a long time, and then said: "This matter has already been heard by the heavens. My aunt has made such a mistake, and she probably needs a lot of money to manage it. If mother feels sad, she can just give more gold and silver to my aunt." .”

Aunt Xue wiped her tears: "Oh, you are going to enter the palace in the future, no amount of money is too much! Your aunt has her own personality, I just need to accompany her more often."

As expected of Aunt Xue, she has been married to a merchant for many years, she can give her feelings, but she doesn't need real money.

--

The next day, the emperor arranged several papers of incrimination one by one, and asked the emperor to have a look.

They are respectively: the eldest son of the Rongguo Mansion bitterly confessed that he had deceived and protected his brother for the sake of family affection, and now he has come to his senses and asked the emperor to punish the second wife vigorously;

Wang Ziteng reflected on his poor vision, but he didn't see that Jia Yucun was such a courtier who judged the case indiscriminately in order to please his superiors, so that he let go of Xue Pan without his knowledge, and asked the emperor to punish Jia Yucun vigorously:

The historian Bao Linghou was not in Beijing, and Zhongjinghou made a statement on behalf of the two houses, saying that although the country is peaceful everywhere, there are still occasional minor disturbances.

In addition, there are several military generals who personally attacked civil servants yesterday, and ordered ghostwriters to write an apology.

The Supreme Emperor couldn't help smiling when he saw it: He was really afraid that these families would use their old military achievements to force the Emperor, but now it seems that they all have brains.

The emperor also came down the steps. Judging by the emperor's retaliation, it was not time to move these people.

"Father, what happened this time is probably the fault of the Second Household of the Rongguo Mansion. Besides, Jia Yucun was not an upright official. You don't have to involve others in the rest. Thinking about it, my son demoted Jia Yucun and Jia Zheng to white bodies. Jia Zheng's wife Take away the imperial order, and fine you another 10 taels of silver as an example to others."

The Supreme Emperor was satisfied in his heart, but said in his mouth: "It's a bit light, it stands to reason that he can be exiled."

The emperor respectfully said: "When the water is clear, there will be no fish. There are always some wicked servants and slaves who have passed down generations of noble families. Even the imperial court arrests a few treacherous officials every year. Duke Rong helped his father in those days. The merit of driving can be regarded as a benefactor of a country, and even a great benefactor of his son. Now that his descendants make mistakes, they should be more lenient, and it will appear that the heavenly family is magnanimous."

"10 taels of silver is not a small amount. Most people in the court cannot afford it, and it is also a deterrent to others. Don't think that there is no price for violating the laws of the country!"

The Supreme Emperor finally nodded: "It's very good to be kind without breaking the law."

The emperor thought to himself: 10 taels will save you from exile, which is not out of the law.It's just that you miss the old days, father, I dare not punish you.But as long as you are happy.

--

The pen in Xin Hongcheng's hand was snatched away, he looked up inexplicably: "Second brother, are you finally crazy?"

Fan Yunyi made a "crackling" fist with his fists beside him. Now there are only three of them in the study, and the second prince can only find fault with one against two.

The elegant smile on Xin Hongyuan's face disappeared, and he became gloomy: "As expected, did you disclose the news to the Xu family on purpose?"

Xin Hongcheng looked surprised: "What is the second brother talking about?"

The second prince sneered: "The day before Laba, Xu's family just received the news and sent them to the palace, and Laba of Rongguo Mansion separated the family first that night!"

Xin Hongcheng said sincerely: "Well, everything in the world is really a coincidence."

The two looked at each other for a moment, the second prince smiled slowly, and returned the pen in his hand to Xin Hongcheng: "Fourth brother, continue to work hard. After all, you will stay in the upper study for two years. My marriage is scheduled for next August. It's just half a year later than big brother, don't worry, I will definitely invite you to have a wedding wine at that time."

After getting married, he can go to court and make friends with courtiers. He doesn't have to be like this now, only the Xu family has one source of news, so that he was tricked by Xin Hongcheng.

"Fourth brother, we will have a long life in Japan."

Xin Hongcheng took over his own pen and said with a smile, "It's not my style to be long in the future. Second brother, I will definitely go to your wedding banquet for a drink, but unfortunately some people may not be able to go."
