The emperor is embarrassed

Because Ming Zhan supported the widow's remarriage, he annoyed the courtiers a lot.

It is said that women like to cry, make trouble, and hang themselves when they have nothing to do. I don't think so, the ministers will play this game, and their skills will definitely not lose to women.

Rao is Ming Zhan watching a middle-aged and elderly man fall to the ground and cry loudly. He had thought of cursing a few words of "rotten wood idiot" before, but later he was really no match for crying like this for N games in a day, or there were occasional multiplayers. Ming Zhan simply left people.

Taking advantage of Xiumu, he simply dragged Ruan Hongfei out to hide.

Although Ming Zhan looks ordinary, he loves smug beauty.

Every time he goes out, Ming Zhan has to clean himself up in a slippery way.

Ming Zhan changed into a thin silk robe of blue sky after rain. He was flamboyant, with dark patterns embroidered on the collar, sleeves, and belt. Clear, white and tender little neck.

Ming Zhan looked at himself in the mirror for a long time, and hung a bodhi seed hanging from a hole in a red string around his neck.

"How is it? Isn't he handsome?" Ming Zhan asked Ruan Hongfei.

Ruan Hongfei nodded, and said sincerely, "Hey, Fatty, why don't you just change your name to Ming Xiaoshuai."

Ming Zhan giggled and laughed, and took Ruan Hongfei's hand, "Let's go, let's go out for a stroll."

Ruan Hongfei followed Ming Zhan out with a Merry folding fan.

In fact, Ming Zhan's date was very simple. The two of them rode horses and walked around casually. Although it was a July day, it was rainy and windy last night. Although it was hot today, they could still bear it.

A group of people walked on the suburban road.

Although it is an imperial capital, the road is not easy to walk.

After walking a short distance, Ming Zhan saw a line of carriages and horses in front of him. The first wheel had somehow slipped into the mud next to him. A groom in front of him raised his whip to steer the horses, and a group of servants were exerting their strength to feed Pushing the cart with buttocks.

The train was blocking the road, and Ming Zhan didn't need to order, Li Bing had already sent someone to inquire, Ming Zhan said, "Help if you can." I don't know what was in the car, but it must be Pretty heavy stuff.The horse flexed its front legs and neighed intermittently, the bit was bleeding, and it was pulled forward and backward, but the cart could not be pulled out of the mud.

Ruan Hongfei glanced at Ming Zhan and signaled him to shut up, if it was an assassin or something, why would you want to help?

Ming Zhan laughed twice.

One of the passers-by who looked like a manager came out to meet the ceremony, and said, "We are from the Zhao family in Fumin. The master and wife of the family came to the imperial capital to organize a wedding for the son. Because they were in a hurry to enter the imperial capital, the servants rushed on the road in the rain last night. As a result, the road was difficult. Okay, the chariots and horses turned into the mud and blocked the way of the gentlemen, and I really hope to forgive the sin. The servant will get out of the way."

Ming Zhan listened and thought of Zhao's surname, so he asked Ruan Hongfei, "Is this Zhao Qingyi's family?"

Ruan Hongfei couldn't figure it out, and he wasn't a god.He simply raised his voice and asked, "The Zhao family in Fumin belongs to Mr. Zhao Wenzhong's residence."

The steward saw that this group of people had extraordinary clothes, and the carved saddles of the royal horses under their crotch were all unusual things. He also heard people tell them about their house, so he quickly bowed and saluted, "Exactly. Dare I ask what your name is?"

Ming Zhan laughed, and directly ordered, "Help them get the car out." Then he went to talk to the steward, "Zhao Qingyi is your son, right? He is very talented."

The steward thanked him, listened to Ming Zhan's tone, and didn't bother to ask about the identities of Ming Zhan and his party, just smiled and agreed, "Yes. The young master won the second place this time, which is a credit to the ancestors."

"The emperor pointed out your son's marriage, why don't you see your master and wife?" I heard it just now.

The steward said, "Master and wife are both old and have their own servants to serve them, so they came here slowly. The servants are specially in charge, and first bring the utensils for the wedding together."

Ming Zhan didn't ask any more questions, seeing that with the help of the guards, the Zhao family's car was pushed out of the mud field.Ming Zhan's eyes fell on the bunting farmer at the side, he fiddled with the horsewhip in his hand, and said, "The corn that just sprouted was ruined by you. It's not easy for tenants to farm."

The steward hurriedly took out a money bag from his sleeve, and compensated the tenant a dime, and the tenant thanked him very much.

Ming Zhan smiled, the Zhao family had already moved out of the way, and Ming Zhan and others naturally went first.

Ming Zhan said, "According to the time, the Zhao family should have left a few days after receiving the letter of offering the marriage. It can be seen that they are very satisfied with this marriage."

Ruan Hongfei was slightly happy in his heart, and complimented Ming Zhan, "Of course, once His Majesty's imperial decree arrives, how can the Zhao family not come?"

Ming Zhan proudly puffed out his small chest. What could be more beautiful than a lover's compliment?

The Zhao family is here, and they came to the palace to greet Ming Zhan knowingly.

Zhao Qingyi's father has no official position, and this time Ming Zhan ordered the governors to recommend talented people to come to the imperial capital, and Zhao Qingyi's father was on the recommendation list.

Although Zhao Rusong's talent and fame are not comparable to Qian Yongdao's, Zhao Rusong's father, Zhao Ruihai, was once an official to the first-rank official secretary.

This is quite a compliment for a civil servant.

The Zhao family is also proud of this, so the world calls Zhao Ruihai Duke Wenzhong, and the Zhao family in Fumin the Mansion of Duke Wenzhong.

Zhao Rusong has been an official for a long time, and he has cultivated a second-best son, which is considered capable.

Seeing that they were a family, Ming Zhan treated Zhao Rusong very kindly, and gave him a table and tea. Zhao Rusong wanted to feel more uneasy, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Although it's the first time we meet, Zhao Qing, you don't have to be too nervous. I don't know how to eat people, look at your brow."

Ming Zhan was just joking, but Zhao Rusong finally relaxed a little, and said, "Your Majesty is mighty, and I am terrified."

Ming Zhan said with a smile, "It would be nice to see each other a few more times. I have seen the marriage. Qingyi is talented, Jiarui is beautiful, a match made in heaven. You just stay in the imperial capital for a while, Rusong, I heard you The knowledge is good. When you are free, you can go to the Imperial College to give a lecture."

"Yes." When it comes to learning, Zhao Rusong is not nervous anymore, and said with a smile, "I have heard that His Majesty has collected books from all over the world and built a library, which is freely available for people all over the world to borrow. His Majesty's move is indeed a meritorious service in the present age. Qianqiu. I am greedy for your majesty's collection of books, even if there is no purpose, I still have the cheek to come to see the vastness of the library."

"It's just that I have little knowledge, and the Imperial College is mostly learned people. If I go, I'm afraid I will lose my face."

"Hey, you are the second-best dad, who dares to say that you have little knowledge." Ming Zhan smiled, "When you are ready, tell me, and I will ask them to arrange it. You spend most of your time in Zhejiang and Fujian, and you have studied it. The knowledge of a lifetime. Take it out, teach it with the officials, and let the students in the Imperial College see your demeanor of a great Confucian in Zhejiang and Fujian."

Zhao Rusong was very willing in his heart, and he was no longer too modest, so he agreed.

Ming Zhan has a good feeling for Zhao Rusong. Although this person is a bit timid, he is very knowledgeable about current affairs.

Ming Zhan felt that the marriage arrangement was good, Ruan Jiarui was a good girl, Zhao Qingyi was from a scholarly family, and the Zhao family was so knowledgeable, which was extremely rare.Who would have expected that such a marriage that His Majesty the Emperor had said so well would turn into a sudden accident.

The marriage bestowed by the emperor Jinkou Yuyan, although Ruan Jiarui's superficial background is not very good.However, 99% of the high society in the imperial capital believed that Ruan Jiarui's identity had something else to do with it.

The Zhao family came to the imperial capital, so naturally they heard it couldn't be more clear.

So, they made more intensive preparations for their son's wedding, chose the nearest auspicious day, and made a small engagement ceremony with Ming Zhan's acquiescence.

Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner, but at this time, a memorial from the Zhejiang-Fujian Yushi shocked the government and the public.

Ming Zhan pointed out marriage, that's what he had inquired about, Zhao Qingyi didn't have a marriage contract, so he pointed Ruan Jiarui into Zhao's family.

However, the memorial of the Zhejiang-Fujian Yushi clearly stated: Zhao Jiayuan made a marriage contract with the Fumin Ji family, and because Zhao Qingyi was far away in the imperial capital, the second son was asked to enter the house on behalf of the daughter of the Yingji family.His Majesty the Empress pointed out the marriage, Zhao's family heard that the Ruan family was very expensive, they backed out, and said that the emperor's order was hard to break, so they forcibly regretted the marriage with Ji's family.The Ji family was furious.The Zhao family then violated the innocence of the Ji family, and the Ji family couldn't bear the humiliation, and committed suicide in front of the Zhao family on a certain day in a certain year.

The latter is Yushi's personal feelings, what kind of family of jackals, unfaithful and unrighteous, forcing a good girl to death, being an arrogant minister, how ugly it is to scold.

It's a pity that Zhao Qingyi's official position is not high, and it is not his turn to go to the court, otherwise Ming Zhan will definitely ask the court to find out what happened.

In the end, Ming Zhan ordered a thorough investigation.

Ming Zhan lay on Ruan Hongfei's lap and sighed, "Feifei, I'm very tired."

Ruan Hongfei's fingertips landed on Ming Zhan's temples with a hint of coolness, and massaged for him gently, "Then take a rest."

"I feel that there are countless conspiracies and tricks around me, and people all over the world are plotting against me." Ming Zhan closed his eyes and said like a raving, "It is said that the emperor is suspicious. People who have never been emperors don't know what it is like. Son. When you say a word or make an action, there will be countless pairs of eyes staring at you and speculating on you. You can’t let them know what’s in your heart. Once people find out, countless people will take the opportunity to harm you. you……"

Ruan Hongfei sighed, and was about to comfort Ming Zhan, but Ming Zhan turned his mouth and began to cry.

Ming Zhan cried so loudly that even Li Pingzhou and others who were asking for an audience could hear clearly, and their expressions changed dramatically.

After a while, He Yu came out and said, "Your Majesty is not feeling well. If you have nothing urgent to do, please step back first."

Li Pingzhou is a serious and loyal minister, and he is very concerned about the emperor's dragon body. He couldn't help asking, "Eunuch He, the emperor is..." What's the matter?Cry like this.

Wang Rui'an also asked, "That's right, the Lord is worried about the humiliation of his ministers. It's all because of the incompetence of the old ministers, which makes the emperor feel so sad."

He Yu sighed, "Adults, please go back."

Ming Zhan cried a lot, but he didn't know that in the distant Huaiyang, there was another person crying like Ming Zhan.

Mrs. Duan hugged her daughter and cried, "My son, don't I know your suffering. This is your life. You say, what can you do if you don't go back to Qian's house? Even if you go back to our house, go In the family temple, the family rules can't spare you."

Duan's expressionless face, shed tears silently.

"Go and make amends to your mother-in-law, be soft, and go back." Mrs. Duan persuaded earnestly, "Son, I am your mother, so I can still harm you."

Mrs. Duan persuaded and talked for a while, until her mouth frothed and her tongue was dry, she picked up the teacup to drink tea, and Mrs. Duan suddenly said, "Mother just pretend she never gave birth to me."

Mrs. Duan was shocked, and the teacup in her hand hit the top of her foot, and she poured warm tea on the upper of her shoe, and the two twig lotus plants on the toe of the shoe were drenched with water, making them even more beautiful.Fortunately, in summer, the tea is not too hot, nor scalding.It's just that the astonishment in her eyes couldn't be concealed. Mrs. Qian screamed, ignoring the tea on her feet, her eyes widened in disbelief, she babbled and couldn't speak.

Duan's face was expressionless, "Mother should take back the dowry sent by the Qian family. Parents are the first to marry, and they are free to marry again. Daughters are destined for this."

Mrs. Duan burst into tears, "What are you talking about?"

"Tell me, at your age, you have been a widow these years, even if you want to remarry, after this lawsuit, who can marry you?"

Duan was silent.

Mrs. Duan only felt that she was worried about her daughter, and now she didn't know whether her daughter was bewitched or what happened, and she refused to stay a widow any longer.It's just that after this case, even if the daughter is innocent and loses her innocence, even if she goes home, the best result is to read the scriptures for a lifetime in the family temple.

Mrs. Duan was full of sorrow, and she talked to her husband. Apart from sighing, Duan Qingze just said, "No matter how hard you try to persuade her, she is the most conscientious person, why doesn't she understand now." Other than that, there was nothing He said.

In Huaiyang, Mrs. Duan didn't have many acquaintances.Because of those unfeeling words said by his daughter, the Qian family also became cold-hearted and stopped contacting each other.Therefore, Mrs. Duan only went to find Xu Yingyu.After all, the two families had long been friends in the imperial capital, and Xu Yingyu had a good relationship with her daughter in the past. Mrs. Duan also knew about this.

"Yingyu, I really don't have a day when I can feel at ease." Mrs. Duan complained to Xu Yingyu, and sighed, "Don't I love my girl, but who told her to have a hard life, and she was born to be a daughter's family. Now, What else can I do except observe the festival? There is nothing easy about observing the festival. Alas, Qian'er is really spoiled by me."

Xu Yingyu didn't have this idea at all, otherwise she wouldn't be able to reconcile.Xu Yingyu persuaded Mrs. Duan, "It's not that Sister Qian doesn't have a dowry, or she relies on dowry to save money and live a good life. No matter what my aunt said, Sister Qian seems to have nowhere to go. Tell me , it’s definitely not like this.”

Mrs. Duan shook her head, 1 people disagreed with Xu Yingyu's statement, and she thought, "What kind of family education are we, a lawless man in the family, a daughter who has no remarriage in the family, and a reputation that has been earned in many lifetimes. A person like Qian'er It is benevolence and righteousness for her husband's family to ask her to go back to live without disliking her, so how can I ask for anything else?"

"Sister Qian is still young after all, Auntie." Xu Yingyu said softly, "Sister Qian is five years older than me, and is not yet thirty. But Auntie, look at how gentle and beautiful Sister Qian was when she was in her natal family, but now she is withered Like an old woman, my aunt is Sister Qian's mother, who can not feel distressed? As a mother, seeing her daughter living such a life, who can think of a way to save her daughter from the sea of ​​suffering."

Mrs. Duan sighed helplessly, "A woman who has no husband and no child is suffering in a sea of ​​suffering."

When it came to the child, Mrs. Duan said in her heart, "I have given up on my old face and went to Qian's family to beg for mercy. After all, Qian'er is young, and Qian's parents can't lose their heirs. She must adopt a child for Qian'er. With hope, those confused thoughts can go away."

The two have completely different ideas and cannot communicate.

Moreover, Xu Yingyu found that she had completely become a sandwich biscuit.

When Mrs. Duan said this, Mrs. Duan obviously had other ideas.

Duan begged softly, "Sister Xu, only you can help me now. I don't ask for anything, even if I eat bran and swallow vegetables in the future, I will never be able to return to Qian's house. For the sake of growing up."

"If I go back, there is absolutely no way out." Duan burst into tears, "The newspapers and periodicals you asked Lotus to read to me, although I come from a scholarly background, I can't compare to that Wu girl who came from a businessman. Miss Wu is dead. I can at least be the master of my own life, but my life and death are in the hands of others."

"What kind of family is the Qian family? With my reputation, I will be clean in such an inner house if I go away without a sound." Duan sobbed, "Sister Xu, you have also seen what is going on now. , even if I really swallowed this breath, who can say a word of grievance for me."

"When your husband dies, you don't have to observe morality. They are forcing me to go with your brother-in-law." Duan burst into tears, clutching Xu Yingyu's hand, sobbing and trembling, as if she was about to pass away.Xu Yingyu hurriedly stroked her chest and persuaded her, "Sister Qian, don't worry, speak slowly."

Duan gritted her teeth, and her voice seemed to be squeezed out of her throat, with a bloody smell, "But, I don't want to die. I am still so young, and I am willing to guard him! But, you have to let I live like a human being!"

"I am also a lady from a scholarly family. Since I was a child, I have obeyed the three virtues and kept the chastity after my husband dies. Can't I have a little dignity? I am also a human being. I keep my chastity for the Qian family, but I have lived a life of the humblest woman." It's not as good as it!"

Duan's voice was crying and bleeding, and Xu Yingyu could only say, "Sister Qian, the case is not over yet, you just live in the governor's mansion, and no one said anything."

"Furthermore, now that the case is so well known, even the Qian family won't dare to touch you."

Duan's face was raised, a strand of gray hair fell from the corner of her temple, her eyes were fixed on Xu Yingyu, and she begged sadly, "Sister Xu, the Qian family will never come back. But how can I go back to the Duan family? Leaving Qian's house and going back to Duan's house, for a girl with such a reputation like me, it would be best to end up reciting life scriptures in the family temple. If so, why should I leave Qian's house?"

"Sister Xu, you are a capable person. I just ask you, I saw a 'Women's Aid Association' in the newspapers, sister Xu, I can't trust the Qian family, nor can I trust the Duan family, I only trust you." Kneeling directly on the ground, holding Xu Yingyu's hand, begging, "I only believe in you, I only beg you, I beg you to take me with you when you return to the imperial capital. If there is really a way out for me, even if I go to give it to others Being a slave and a girl, I can bear any kind of suffering, but I just earn a bowl of food for myself, I don't want to eat other people's handouts, let alone read those useless scriptures."

"I will do my best, Sister Qian, I will do my best."

Xu Yingyu can only say this, after all, it has to do with Duan's natal family.For the Duan family and the Qian family, she was an outsider, so how could she intervene in the matter of the ownership of the Duan family?There is no such reason in the world that there is no close relationship.

But if Duan can break free from Qian Duan's family, he will be free in exchange.Xu Yingyu thought it was just a small effort to help Duan in this way, but she was still willing.

Xu Yingyu was only worried about Duan's future, but Lin Yongshang encountered a bigger problem.

Do you want to close this case?How to close the case?

He Huan was purely framed, and He Huan has such a family background. Since he is innocent, he should be released naturally. There is no objection to this.

Duan, now it seems that he is also a victim.

But the key point is, who has the ability to wipe out all the sons of the Yongding Hou family and the chaste women of the Qian family?If he wanted to close the case, Lin Yongshang had to give a convincing evidence.
