The emperor is embarrassed

Shen Zhuoyan couldn't understand the matter that Mrs. Du, the wife of the former Yongkang Duke, asked him to hold a funeral for the former Yongkang Duke.

If it weren't for Shen Zhuoyan's mother's fate, there might not be Shen Zhuoyan at this moment.Moreover, although they are related by blood, Shen Zhuoyan has never even entered the gate of Yongkang Duke's Mansion in his life. Even Li You is very unfamiliar to Shen Zhuoyan.

What is this for?

If he beats the banner and throws the tiles for Li You, it is equivalent to recognizing Li You as his father.If he recognized Li You as his father, then from etiquette, he would have to recognize Li You's house and daughter together.

For these vengeful and ungrateful relatives who suddenly emerged from the flat ground, Shen Zhuoyan's temper was not good.

From Du's standpoint, she certainly hoped that Shen Zhuoyan would recognize the Li family.The Yongkang government is complete. Although the daughter is married, but without a strong natal family, how can the daughter gain a foothold in her husband's family?

Don't think about others, why did Fan's end up like this?Isn't it because of the defeat of her mother's family?

However, it is different from the decline of the Li family.

Shen Zhuoyan is a rising star in the imperial capital, even if he doesn't get a Jinshi now, Shen Zhuoyan can still talk in front of the imperial court, and occasionally see the emperor a few times.

What's more, Shen Zhuoyan also has the most coveted backer, Lin Yongshang, governor of Huaiyang.

If they can catch up with these relatives, the mother and daughter will have something to rely on in the future.Even the daughter's in-law's family, Yong'an Duke Wen's family cannot underestimate their mother and daughter.

Although at this time, it's not very authentic to cling to Shen Zhuo with shamelessness, but in the face of reality, face is nothing.

Therefore, Mrs. Du had the cheek to come to the door.

That whole cry of pity, Shen Zhuoyan is not good at dealing with women's tears, before you can say a few words, she will start crying.If you say a few more words, she is about to burst into tears.

What should I do?Shen Zhuoyan almost wanted to walk away.

Shen Zhuoyan is the chief editor of the royal newspaper after all, although he is kind and honest, he is not stupid. He listened to Du's crying and crying, and winked at the girl serving in the middle hall. went.

Actually, even if Shen Zhuoyan agrees to this matter, Wu Wan cannot agree.

She married Shen Zhuoyan because she fell in love with Shen Zhuoyan's character and love for her, but she didn't want to have a house-filling mother-in-law to serve her.What's more, there is Fan Chenshi. To Fan Chenshi, the Li family is the family of enemies, and Shen Zhuoyan must not let Shen Zhuo admit to the Li family.

Ever since the Yongkang mansion was raided, Shen Zhuoyan took Fan Chenshi back home.

Anyway, this is his real grandmother.What's more, Fan Chenshi changed his words before the battle, which can be regarded as helping Lin Yongshang. Shen Zhuo said that it is duty-bound to take care of Fan Chenshi.

But, Du Shi, what kind of onion are you!

I really admire you for being so cheeky and crying at your door!

The maid quietly told Wu Wan about the matter, after discussing it with Fan Chenshi.Wu Wan called Shen Zhuoyan out, and then Fan Chenshi went to the middle hall to entertain Du Shi.

Seeing Fan Chenshi, Mrs. Du immediately cried three points lower, but her eyes were still blurred with tears and blinked, quite pitifully.It's a pity, if Du's pity is in the eyes of a man, then maybe there is some pity.After all, although Mrs. Du is already in her mid-mature, she still has some of the beauty of her youth.

However, in Fan Chenshi's eyes, and thinking about what happened to his daughter, Du Shi's face became extremely hateful.Fan Shenshi's sharp knife-like gaze caught Du's pale and delicate face, but his words were flat, "When my daughter escaped from Li's house, I'm afraid she didn't even have the chance to cry like this."

"Old lady, I really don't know about my sister." Du Shi distinguished, she came in after Fan Shi, only thought that Fan Shi died of illness.

"That's right, it's all Li You's fault." Fan Chenshi said coldly, "Li You is dead, but I don't want to see anyone related to Li You! You'd better be wise in the future." Don't come to the door of our Shen family!"

Du Shi was about to cry again, Fan Chenshi said sharply, "You are no longer Mrs. Duke, do you want me to ask someone to take you back to Wen's house!"

Du Shi was like a duck whose neck had been wrenched suddenly, not daring to make a sound.Now she is living in the other courtyard where her daughter is dowry. If Shen's family really sent her back to Wei Guogong Wen's house, how would her daughter gain a foothold in her husband's house.Seeing Du's silence, Fan Chen snorted coldly, "Over the years, I've seen so many things! What kind of wishful thinking you have in mind, you can't hide it from me! Let me tell you, you are all delusions! I have seen the large prisons of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the Northwest Frontier, and the Yamen of the Three Divisions! If someone doesn’t want face! My wife is even more open-minded!"

Du Shi walked away in despair.

Du's career was not good.

However, Du Shi did not give up.

The Du family was born in a branch of Beichanghou's Mansion, and was also a son of a well-known family in the imperial capital.Speaking of it, Mrs. Du is the niece of the Marquis of Beichang.In addition, Du's daughter, Li Wanhua, married the second young master of Duke Wei's mansion, and the half-brother of the third son-in-law.Now the Li family has collapsed, but the Wen family married Li Wanhua, and the in-laws are still there.

Seeing Li You's end now, Second Young Master Wen dare not follow the example of his father-in-law who poisoned his wife and killed his son.

Li Wanhua obeyed his mother's instructions, and pleaded for his father's affairs, for example, "Father is stupid, and now it's retribution. I'm just such an older brother, who else is there in my natal family? Speaking of which, he is also the second master's brother-in-law. Annoyed father, even I don't want to admit it, the second master and my husband and wife are of the same mind, so it's nothing to say a few soft words to my brother-in-law at this time."

Overnight, from the eldest lady of the Duke's Mansion, she became the daughter of a criminal official.Li Wanhua's gap is not insignificant. Knowing this gap, she wants to grasp Shen Zhuoyan's life-saving straw even more.

As long as Shen Zhuoyan agrees to recognize her, she will still have her natal family.

Or say that if you are poor, no one cares about you in the busy city, and if you are rich, you have distant relatives in the mountains.

Du Wen and his family met and discussed, and it was not possible for the female relatives to go out.Fan Chen's fighting ability is too strong, ordinary people really can't fight against this old lady.The two families changed their plans to save the country, and invited Uncle Li San, the patriarch of the current Li family, to find Li Pingzhou here, and the request was not too much.

"Brother Yu, I'm really sorry for Zhuo Yan's mother and son." The first person to speak was the oldest member of the Li family, counting it, he was a generation older than Fan Chenshi.Now that Li You's team is over, the position of patriarch will naturally be replaced, and it will fall on the head of the oldest third uncle.

Uncle Li San was old and bearded, and his tone was somewhat indignant, "Oh, Brother You has also suffered retribution now, the family business that our ancestors earned with their lives, and the generations of ancestors who have managed it, are all ruined by him." Even in the underground, he would have no face to see his father and grandfather." The Yongkang mansion fell, and the overall strength of the Li family was severely damaged, and now the patriarch has no fun doing it.

In particular, the Yongkang government ransacked their homes for such disgraceful reasons, and many Li family members who were on official errands in the court were also affected to varying degrees.

At this time, Third Uncle Li naturally hoped to recognize Shen Zhuoyan on behalf of the Li family.

However, the old man is old and mature, and he knows that this matter will be impossible for a while.Taking a step back, the sea and the sky are wide open, this matter still needs to be figured out slowly.Uncle Li San said to Li Pingzhou, "Li Xiang, our ancestors were also related. Zhuoyan, you have seen this child before, and he is knowledgeable. Alas, the matter of Brother Yu is gone now. No matter how you say it, it won't help, so I have to let Brother Yu go underground to apologize to Fan. But what about the funeral?"

"If Brother Yu's knees are empty, the old man thinks of a way to find someone to hold the banner and throw tiles for him. But it's obviously dishonorable to ask others to do it. Hey, do you recognize the Li family, old man?" I can't open my mouth." Uncle Li sighed, "It's just that in this funeral, the dead are the most important, after all, they have Brother You's blood in them. It is also his benevolence and righteousness to give Brother You a ride with humble words. "

Li Pingzhou replied, "Third Uncle also said that his words are clumsy and reasonable. You are highly respected when you are old. Just go and talk to him." Killing son, at this juncture, how could Shen Zhuoyan swallow this breath!What's more, there are two tigress living in the Shen family now, which one can afford it.

From the confrontation between Fan Chenshi and Wu Wan, it was known how powerful these two women were.

Asking Shen Zhuo to mourn for Li You, if he said this, he would immediately offend the two women, and if the two women had the same gun, Li Pingzhou thought it would be too much for him.Therefore, he refused to answer Uncle Li San.

Uncle Li San sighed sadly, "I planned to go, but the old man was afraid that his face would be too small. Our Li family was guilty first, and we wanted to ask Li Xiang to help and say a few good words. I agree. If not, I will help Brother Yu carry the banner and throw the tiles, and I must not make Zhuoyan embarrass me."

Li Pingzhou really wants to scold his mother, what does this mean, you always help carry flags and throw tiles, you are making hate for your clumsy words.Hearing what Uncle Li San said, Li Pingzhou smiled but said, "San Shu, don't say that, what will the children think? Not only are your clumsy words in trouble, even your family has five generations under the same roof, and your children and grandchildren can't cope with it." Who are you going to scare with these words, Li Pingzhou, the dignified Prime Minister of a country, can be intimidated by these words.

Third Uncle Li saw that his words didn't work, so he simply begged him bluntly, "Li Xiang, you are the master of the humble words, the one who officiated the marriage for him. We are old ancestors, you can't ignore this matter."

Li Pingzhou thought for a while, then sighed, "Third Uncle, you are so embarrassed. Who can recognize Li You?"

"If you want me to say that Li You is a criminal official, don't you still want to have a grand burial?" Li Pingzhou persuaded Uncle Li, "Such a criminal who ruined his family can only accommodate him in the ancestral grave. If it's a toss about holding flags and throwing tiles, others will still have to think that the Li family has resentment towards the emperor's treatment."

The two of you came and went and saw each other, but there was a new change in the Shen family.

Wu Wan gave Fan Chenshi an idea, "Old lady, now that Mr. Li has passed away, the old lady can see that they regard him as fat meat. Although the Yongkang mansion is over, these people are looking forward to Mr. Li's death." Recognizing the ancestors and returning to the clan. It’s not because of the greatness of the uncle, but because of the high position and power of the uncle, and he is planning to get rich.”

Fan Chenshi snorted, "They are delusion!"

Wu Wan peeled an orange, and Zhang Fan and Chen's family lowered their anger, without rush or Xu Dao, "Fantasy or not, in the past, the Li family relied on the Yongkang Duke's Mansion, and more than a dozen people were entrenched in the imperial capital, but now they have lost their big backing. It's not easy. Furthermore, Du's natal family is close relatives with Beichanghou's mansion, and Du's is the niece of Beichanghou's direct relative. There is also Du's daughter, Li, who married the Wen family of Yong'an Duke's mansion, and Yong'an Duke's mansion also gave birth to three A character like a son-in-law. Think about it, which one is easy to provoke?"

Fan Chenshi laughed twice, and looked at Wu Wan, "Girl, if you have something to say, just say it, the old woman can hear what you say."

"I'm also worried about my uncle's future." Wu Wan said, "My uncle's admission to the university has been delayed. Li Xiang has read my uncle's article and said that it will be Chunwei two years later. That's a sure thing. Nowadays, in the officialdom, everything has to pay attention to reputation. Now Master Li, don't care how much we hate him, he is the uncle's biological father after all. What's more difficult is that Master Li is only of the uncle's blood."

"You want Zhuoyan to dress that beast in mourning!" Fan Chenshi's face was already as cold as ice, and he shouted violently, "You are delusional!"

If he is timid or weak-tempered, he will definitely not be able to bear Fan Chenshi's temper.But Wu Wan has a way. She is not afraid of Fan Chenshi's temper, and she has her own methods. She still explained softly, "You really misunderstood me. If I come up with such an idea, even the uncle can't do it." Yes."

"That's true." Although Fan Chenshi had some opinions on Wu Wan, but to his grandson Shen Zhuoyan, he was really obedient and caring.Fan Chenshi said, "Zhuoyan is a man with a conscience, even if you say it, he can't respond."

Wu Wan smiled, "Old lady, since I am married to the uncle, I naturally have one heart with the uncle."

"I mean, we have to find a way to block the mouths of the world, so that the uncle will no longer have any worries when he becomes an official in the future." Wu Wan persuaded, "As the saying goes, do things absolutely. If you want me to say, Master Li poisoned you." The mother-in-law failed, the evidence is solid, how can we still be a husband and wife. Since we have already got the mother-in-law's spirit card back from the Li family, why don't we do everything and go to the imperial capital to file a case and legally let Li The old man reconciled with his mother-in-law to dissolve the relationship between husband and wife. As for the household registration of the uncle, it will naturally fall on the mother-in-law's side. Also, I heard that the old lady's natal family has long since disappeared. There is no one to worship the ancestors, so desolate. It's embarrassing."

Thinking of her natal family, Fan Chenshi also sighed, "It's been a few years since I've been away, so there's no need to mention it."

"Well, although we are not the proper Shen family, after all, the old lady's surname is Shen. Now the uncle is also named Shen. I discussed with the uncle that it is better to enshrine the tablets of the ancestors of the Shen family. Although the family business needs to be accumulated slowly, But you can't wrong the underground people. What does the old lady think?" Wu Wan smiled and asked Fan Chenshi's opinion.

Fan Chenshi's eyes were soft, and he patted Wu Wan's hand, "Although you are a bit more tempered, you still know the truth."

"Where, the uncle taught me." Wu Wan would naturally use it to sell things well in front of Fan Chenshi if she could please Fan Chenshi, and she couldn't forget to praise Shen Zhuo.

"That's right." Fan Chenshi took the opportunity to boast to Wu Wan, "I'm someone from here, let me tell you, don't look at those messy houses outside, such high-ranking and dignified people, and any shady private affairs inside. No, my son is not good enough. Look at Zhuoyan, you are so motivated at such a young age, you still have talents and learning, and you have a good temper. Alas, you are a blessed one."

Wu Wan held back the smile in her heart, "Yes."

Fan Chenshi glanced at Wu Wan and sighed, "Zhuoyan also told me that he was so difficult in the past, you didn't care about wealth and glory to marry him. You are also a good person, and you know how to consider everything for him."

Shen Zhuoyan is not stupid, when they got married earlier, his wife gagged his grandmother and sent her to the imperial capital to spend a few days in prison, fearing that the old lady would feel bad.Shen Zhuoyan was clever, he didn't directly say good things for Wu Wan, he told the old lady that he was in a difficult situation and everyone avoided it, but Wu Wan came out to help.

It was precisely because of this that Fan Chenshi did not have much resistance to Wu Wan in his heart.

Now this kind of divorce for the past parents-in-law has to be done by Fan Chenshi.Wu Wan broke up with Fan Chenshi for a long time, and then sold Haoer to the old lady. Because it was related to her grandson's future, Fan Chenshi agreed.

So, Li Pingzhou had just been persuaded by Uncle Li, and Li Pingzhou had just agreed to go to Shen's house with Uncle Li, and persuaded Shen Zhuo: there is no need to wear hemp and filial piety for Li You, and at least go to the funeral. Pillar of incense.

However, neither of them expected that the Shen family would move so fast.

Fan Chenshi has gone to the imperial capital to divorce her daughter.

Well, there is no need for Li Pingzhou to worry about this matter.

Seeing Shen Zhuoyan's attitude, Third Uncle Li went to Shen's house to talk about it, but in the end, Fan Chenshi almost pushed out his lung leaves, and was tremblingly carried away by the servants.

Li You's funeral was very simple, as Li Pingzhou said, he was a prisoner, and a grand funeral would be courting death.You don't need anyone else, the censor has to refer to you first.

With Li You's identity, he didn't have a son when he was the Duke of Yongkang, so everyone moved forward and hoped that Li You would consider his heir to inherit the family business of the Duke of Yongkang.Now that Li You died in prison, his family property was confiscated, and there was nothing left but a curse, who would want to step forward.

The Du family discussed with the members of the Li family for a long time, but there was no result.In the end, it was Uncle Li San who found a very down-and-out family of the same clan. Among them was a boy named Li Ershuang. The Du family offered 300 taels of silver.

Du Shi also had to agree.

At the same time, Ming Zhan received a battle report from the Northwest!

As the bloody and sweaty messenger officer rushed into the Dafeng Palace, the entire imperial capital fell into a huge panic!

Datong is defeated!

General Li Pingren of Datong was killed by his adjutant Yang Tongyu. Yang Tongyu led 5000 people under his command to open the gate of Datong Pass, leading Tatars into the pass, burning and killing countless people along the way. Nearly [-] officers and soldiers were buried in Datong Mansion!

At this time, Ming Zhan was playing chess with Shanqihou. Hearing this news, Ming Zhan didn't slow down for a while.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Li Pingzhou's face was full of tears, Shan Qihou stood up silently, and knelt beside him.Li Pingzhou saw that the emperor was a little silly by being stimulated, so he hurriedly stepped forward on his knees, grabbed Ming Zhan's robe, and called out sadly, "Your Majesty, please order the Marquis of Yongning to enter the palace, close the nine gates, and the whole city is under martial law! Order the whole country General, King Qin, save me!"

Ming Zhan pressed his hand on the cold chessboard, looked up at the sky, the sky was blue and white clouds, and the sun was warm, but he felt the chill coming out from the cracks in his bones, Ming Zhan stood up suddenly, knocked over the chessboard on the table with his calf, big Big and small black and white crystals were scattered on the floor tiles. Ming Zhan didn't feel any pain in his legs at all, and said in a deep voice, "Decree to the Marquis of Yongning to enter the palace, close the nine gates, and enforce martial law in the whole city! Those who leave the city without permission will be killed without mercy!"
