Difficult for a son-in-law

Rao Ming Zhan has to admit that Ruan Hongfei is really a charming guy.

Looking at his family, Aning, who has always been as calm as ice, the mention of Ruan Hongfei seems to move his heart.If it wasn't for the fact that Wei Ning and Ruan Hongfei were little kids when they met, Ming Zhan would definitely suspect that there was an affair between the two.

Although Ming Zhan yearned for Ruan Zhuangyuan, but now is not the time to mourn Ruan Hongfei, he simply dragged back the long-lost topic, and asked Ruan Hou, "It is difficult to have both loyalty and righteousness. The lives of thousands of clansmen, on the one hand, are their loyalty to the late emperor. The Hou Ye had the hardships and sufferings of the Hou Ye. Since the late emperor did not convict the Hou Ye, and the emperor did not say that the Hou Ye was guilty, this matter has long since passed. Blame Lord Hou. Since Lord Hou chose to be loyal to the late emperor back then, I hope Lord Hou can make the same choice now."

The good guys and the bad guys are all made by him alone. Why did Marquis Ruan enter the palace? That was Ming Zhan. Also...it's not a thing at all.

But Ming Zhan has this kind of ability. After listening to the gossip, he can't forget to save his father. Therefore, he generously pointed out a way to survive for Ruan Hou: You have to cooperate with us to survive.

Back then, Marquis Ruan was able to send his own son to a dead end for the sake of the family's wealth and future, which was no different than Yi Ya of Cooking Son.Ming Zhan hates this kind of person from the bottom of his heart, but this is Ruan Hongfei's biological father, and he must know Ruan Hongfei better than anyone else.Moreover, the Ruan family was the direct descendants of Empress Fang back then, and their understanding of Empress Fang's arrangement was no less than that of the Marquis of Yongning.

Ming Zhan didn't want the Yongninghou Mansion to be exposed to the world, so he had to let the Beiweihou Mansion go to the top.

Sure enough, as soon as Ming Zhan said this, Marquis Ruan immediately grabbed the life-saving straw, and said in a deep voice, "I will be long live and be loyal to your highness." If there was guilt before, but now because of Ruan Hongfei's letter, He was forced to almost hit the wall, Ruan Hou now only hates that Ruan Hongfei was not dead back then, leaving endless troubles behind.

Now that the Ruan family has no way out, Marquis Ruan sat back in his chair, collected his thoughts, and said in a deep voice, "Forgive me, the emperor and the prince are blessed in the sky, and the Eucharist is our blessing. What is the urgent matter now?" Rescue the emperor and prince."

Master Li said, "Every inch of Yangzhou City has been searched, and the search area is expanding step by step. It's just that there is no news from the Holy One for so many days, which is really worrying."

Marquis Ruan was already at the bottom of the boat, and calmly analyzed, "I know Ruan Hongfei very well. His behavior is mostly unexpected and cannot be speculated with common sense. For example, he has the power to rob the emperor, but also deeply hates the Ruan family. He wants to come and fetch me. Life is easy. But he didn't come directly to kill me. Instead, he sent such a letter first, forcing the Ruan family to a dead end... This is like a cat playing with a mouse. He thinks he is a cat. My Ruan family is already under his control, first he revealed his tricks to make the Ruan family panic and uneasy all the time, and then watched the Ruan family being tortured, and then sent the Ruan family to hell."

When Ruan Hou said this, several old officials sympathized with Ruan Hou very much.Jun secretly thought, what kind of evil is this.

Marquis Ruan wiped away his tears again, gained sympathy points, and continued, "I believe that the previous accompanying army can be recalled, and for the sake of peace of mind, please forgive the crime of accompanying everyone."

Lord Li disagreed at first, "Could it be that Long Live and the prince are exiled outside, and my servants will be punished with death!"

"Lord Li, listen to me." Ruan Hou said, "If Ruan Hongfei wants to hide someone, you will not be able to find him. This is not an exaggeration on purpose, but a fact. To tell you the truth, His Royal Highness, he went to Pingyang when he was young. Hou stayed in the army for seven or eight years. During the battle of Pingyang Hou against the northern barbarians, he went straight into the camp of the leader of the northern barbarians alone, killed the leader of the northern barbarians, and stayed in the army of the northern barbarians for more than ten days. One person noticed it. Therefore, to rescue the emperor and prince, you can't use brute force, you have to resort to wisdom."

"In addition, Ruan Hongfei once drew up the decree for the late emperor's imperial pen. He imitated the late emperor's handwriting very similarly. Many people thought that he practiced hard just to please the late emperor. In fact, he himself was a master imitator. He not only imitated the late emperor's handwriting, but anyone's handwriting As long as I show him a few times, he can copy ninety-nine percent of them," Ruan Hou said coldly, "I have been with the emperor for many years, and the emperor will definitely not be able to write such a handwriting. I think that this handwriting, It itself was imitated by that evil obstacle."

Ouyang Ke said, "This is well-known. Back then, Ruan Hongfei imitated a piece of "Quick Snow and Sunny Post" and deceived Lord Jingguo with a thousand taels of gold. Lord Jingguo dragged Marquis Ruan into a lawsuit in front of the imperial court. It was the late emperor who did it. Someone mediated for you."

Feng Minglan was worried that this old man Ouyang would talk about Ruan Lang's past, so he asked directly, "The handbook can be forged. I think the father is involuntary now, and the private seal has fallen into the hands of rebels. We still need to discuss a proper way. Otherwise , if other places receive this kind of fake handwriting, how should we deal with it?" Regardless of whether the handwriting was written by Feng Jing, the princes would not recognize it.With Ruan Houyuan in this field, naturally it couldn't be better.

Naturally, Ming Zhan and the others would not have any objections.

Several adults discussed for a while, and said, "The news of Yu Jia and Wang Jia's accident was only known to the courtiers, but now it is confirmed that the emperor and the prince are on tour, and the emperor's private seal has fallen into rebellion. It is impossible to hide this matter. It is better to issue an edict in the world, and before the emperor is rescued and the prince comes out, the official seals of the three princes shall be used for the approval of the memorial, and the transfer of the army requires the signatures and seals of the three princes and His Royal Highness." They didn't intend to let Ming Zhan go back until they rescued the emperor or established a new king.Since the terrorist Ruan Hongfei is really difficult to deal with, everyone knows that rescuing the emperor and prince is not much easier than going to heaven. If the two lives are not good and Ruan Hongfei tears up their votes, it will be difficult for the imperial capital to tell the Zhennan Palace: We did not succeed in saving , your father has become a martyr.

Ming Zhan is not easy to get along with. Whether he will attack the imperial capital because of this, I don't know.

Furthermore, the arrival of Ming Zhan has indeed stabilized the structure of the imperial capital to a large extent. At this time, although the officials are a little bit cautious, everything must be based on the stability of the imperial capital.

Third, the Zhennan Palace has its own manpower channels, if it unites with the imperial capital, the chances of saving people will be greater.

Therefore, no matter how Ming Zhan expressed that he wanted to return to Kunming to take charge of the overall situation, the prince and the officials would not let go, and kept each other hard, so Ming Zhan had no choice but to stay in the imperial capital.

Of course, no one said the words "Let a certain son go back and take charge of the overall situation on behalf of the son" without knowing the taste.

Ming Zhan sighed, these old foxes are not stupid at all when they should be smart.Judging from the letter Ruan Hongfei specially sent to him, it was obvious that he wanted to attack him.

After everyone confirmed that the edict of passing the position was false, the position of the princes was once again stabilized, and Ming Zhan was left behind, and then continued to discuss how to move the accompanying teacher back from Yangzhou.

Marquis Ruan was focused on redeeming his crimes, and he was full of wisdom. "The chips in Ruan Hongfei's hands are the emperor and the prince. Now that we have given up on him, he must have other plans. We are not afraid of him moving, but we are afraid of where he is." The cat is standing still, refusing to move. As long as he moves, there will be traces of flaws. Look at his actions today, first he regards my Ruan family as a deadly enemy; second, he regards the emperor and prince as enemies, and now the emperor and prince are taken by him , the next step, he will definitely attack the Highnesses. Your Highnesses need to strengthen their defenses, and they must not be taken advantage of by this evil obstacle."

Glancing at Wei Ning, Marquis Ruan said coldly, "But Marquis Chengen doesn't have to worry about it. Marquis Chengen is full of grievances for him. Thinking about it, you two have a very close friendship. Otherwise, Marquis Chengen knew he was not dead before us. If Marquis Cheng En has any inside news, don’t let down the emperor and prince’s kindness in teaching Cheng Enhou when he was young, it’s better to say it.”

Before Wei Ning could speak, Ming Zhan said, "I found out that Ruan Hongfei was not dead. That's why I asked someone to invite Marquis Ruan into the palace."

Marquis Ruan choked, still refusing to let Wei Ning go, and said with a smile, "Marquis Chengen is outstanding in style, and he has a mentor-student relationship with His Highness."

Ming Zhan's face remained motionless, "I'm here as a guarantor, Ah Ning."

Ruan Hou finally stopped talking.

Wei Ning was still the same as before, he just gave Ruan Hou a sneering look, showing no extra expression.

"Due to the accident of Lord Xiaojun, when I was marrying the Ruan family, someone disturbed the situation." Ming Zhan explained lightly, "I can't not check, and this investigation will find out the past of the late emperor. Follow the vines, no matter how big it is, but if there is Whoever has grudges with Aunt Jingmin, who has grudges with the Ruan family, or who has old grudges with my Zhennan Prince's Mansion, no matter how perfect the layout is, there will be flaws, so Queen Fang was found out. The matter of Prince Li being deposed back then , all kinds of traces of inside information, and some other supporting evidence, Ruan Hongfei is confident now, and he has revealed more traces than before. We have come to this conclusion. After reading his letter today, we are [-]% sure."

Listening to these words, one can know that Ming Zhan is well versed in the art of language, what is said is equal to not spoken, nothing more.

Marquis Yongding pursed his thin lips, and said in a deep voice, "Now that the emperor and prince are away, I have the courage to ask Your Highness to share the information obtained from the Zhennan Palace with the imperial capital. I will unite as one to rescue Long Live and the prince back to the court."

"It should be like this." Ming Zhan said, "Tomorrow I will send the ministers around me to join the Lord of the Ministry of Punishment. I only hope that God will bless us and survive this disaster."

After everyone's discussion, Ming Zhan was leaving the palace, Feng Minglan called him warmly, "Brother Zhan, these emperor's grandmothers have been worried about your body, since you have entered the palace, follow me to greet the emperor's grandmother. So that her old man can rest assured."

Ming Zhan hurriedly said, "It should be so. It's just that I'm still taking medicine, and I'm guilty of giving the emperor grandma when I'm sick."

Feng Minglan took Ming Zhan's hand, and said affectionately, "The old man is worried that you are too late, why would you care about this?"

The two went to the harem hand in hand.

Walking on the Fangshikuo road, there are several young eunuchs accompanying him in the distance.

Feng Minglan sighed softly, "I really didn't expect that the matter would come to this point. The inside story is complicated, and it involves the struggle for the first emperor's heir. Even Uncle Fu also fell into Ruan Hongfei's game."

"No matter how you say it, we are all based on our parents' generation, so we can have today." Ming Zhan said, "Now is not the time to care about the past, as the old saying goes, father and uncle are brothers of the same mother. Jade, it’s one layer farther.”

"I wanted to go with you." Feng Minglan and Ming Zhan looked at each other, and there was a tacit understanding. Feng Minglan sighed, "Nine times out of ten, the world is unsatisfactory. If the father is here, I will not be able to go out." This is the next policy."

Ming Zhan also sighed, "At this time of year, Ruan Hongfei is so mad that he hijacks the royal driver, what else can't be done?"

"That's the only way to go." With Ming Zhan's words, Feng Minglan finally made up his mind.

Empress Dowager Wei was more polite to Ming Zhan, asked him about his health, rewarded him with some artifacts and treasures, and then ordered him to go home to take care of him, and said nothing else.

However, Concubine Ruan Gui was dismissed as a concubine, and no one in the court dared to mention the matter of the fifth prince listening to the government.

But Ming Zhan asked Wei Ning after returning home, "Ruan Hongfei is really a character. I think old man Ouyang still misses him now. What was the relationship between them before?"

"It doesn't matter. Ruan Hongfei is free and easy, and has a lot of friends. When he took the No. [-] Scholar exam, Mr. Ouyang was the invigilator, and he was half a teacher." Wei Ning rubbed his brows and said.

Ming Zhan went to the big dress, wearing only a pretty white undershirt, fanning himself with a cattail fan, picked up a bunch of grapes, bit a crystal-like grape in his mouth, and wanted to feed it to Wei Ning, Wei Ning. Ning squeezed Ming Zhan's chin and closed it upwards, Ming Zhan gulped down by himself.

"A Ning, tell me how Ruan Hongfei got the gold from Duke Jing. At that time, his sister was the prince's concubine, and he was the prince's attendant. It should be from the prince's line. Jingguo is the prince's grandfather. Ruan Hongfei and Does Lord Yasukuni disagree?" Ming Zhan asked.

"At the beginning, Lord Jingguo wanted to betroth his daughter to Ruan Hongfei, and Ruan Hongfei married the girl of his childhood teacher's family. At that time, because of the relationship with Empress Fang, the Lord Jingguo's mansion was very arrogant in the imperial capital. "Xue Shiqing Post" should be dedicated to the emperor as a birthday gift. Ruan Hongfei is somewhat talented, and the late emperor liked to ask him to serve him when he was viewing calligraphy and painting. He said it was false, and listed many doubtful points at the moment, and the prince of Yasukuni almost cheated his lungs. But after the confession was made out, Ruan Hongfei tricked him into saying that the original work was in his wife’s dowry, because it was Teacher's treasure. The teacher only has his wife and a daughter, so they naturally made a dowry and entered Beiweihou's mansion." Wei Ning smiled slightly, "Ruan Hongfei made a vow, and the son of Jingguo believed it, and he wanted to buy it, because the two families Alright, Ruan Hongfei accepted 1000 taels of gold from the eldest son of Yasukuni."

"Hey, the eldest son of Jingguo is also stupid, why didn't he find a few more knowledgeable palms?" Ming Zhan listened with gusto, "I think Ruan Hongfei must have a brilliant articulation to be able to deceive Got the Yasukuni family. How did it get missed later?"

"The "Quick Snow and Sunshine Posts" was originally handed out by Mr. Yang Mochi anonymously by Mr. Yang. Mr. Jingguo was deceived, so naturally he couldn't let go of that ancient painting. He almost smashed his shop. Later, it was Yang Mochi. Mr. Yang came out to clarify, and personally appreciated the copybook that Ruan Hongfei sold to Mr. Jingguo." Wei Ning picked up a grape and ate it, and said with a smile, "Mr. Yang was once the teacher of the late emperor, and he was highly respected. "Quick Snow and Sunshine Post" is nothing else, his hometown in Langya, Shandong, that year, the Langya earthquake caused countless casualties, and many people in the court donated their salaries and things. Mr. Yang tried his best to make this peerless painting The handwriting was sold, and the money raised was used for disaster relief, but I couldn't bear to think of such a thing, so I had to speak out."

"Ruan Hongfei just couldn't get used to Jingguo running rampant in the imperial capital, so he teased the prince." Wei Ning said, "Later, when the Jingguo lawsuit came to the imperial court, the late emperor just reprimanded Ruan Hongfei and ordered him to return the gold to Jingguo. Who would have thought that Ruan Hongfei donated the gold long ago, and in the end Ruan Hou accepted the debt."

Ming Zhan asked with a smile, "What about "Quick Snow and Sunshine Posts"?"

"That was originally intended to be a birthday gift to the late emperor. When the late emperor heard that it was Mr. Yang's favorite, he gave it back to Mr. Yang." Wei Ning said softly, "Mr. acquaintance."

Ming Zhan was puzzled, "Ruan Hongfei is the eldest son of Marquis Ruan, and the Marquis of Beiwei is so rich, why would Ruan Hongfei still sell paintings and calligraphy at the calligraphy and painting store?"

"Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite." Wei Ning sighed, "Ruan Hongfei's biological mother passed away very early. No matter how considerate her stepmother looks, how can she compare with her biological mother? The son is also generous, how can the monthly bills of the Hou Mansion be enough?"

"A'Ning, you also liked him very much at that time, right?" If you don't pay attention to a person, how can you know so clearly about him?Fortunately, Aning was young at that time, and probably didn't know much about love.

"Well, he is handsome, knowledgeable, and has a free and easy temper. I am studying with the eldest son of the crown prince in the East Palace. I look forward to him coming to give us lectures." Wei Ning said softly, "I always hope to be like him in the future. In fact, I will always be like him." I don't want to be happy and enmity. In my bones, I am used to putting interests first."

"It's you, why are you so interested in him?"

Ming Zhan said, "Because I admire him very much. It's not a fluke that he has today. To be honest, the royal family's infighting has already begun. I think that if Ruan Hongfei does something else, the days of cannibalism will not be far away." gone."

Wei Ning's political acumen was extremely high. He suddenly woke up and asked in a low voice, "Are you going to attack Prince Fu?"

"It's not me, it's the princes." Ming Zhan said, "Of course, I don't object. After all, I don't want to see any possibility of Prince Fu getting involved in the throne."

"Have you ever thought that this may be the purpose of the handing down letter?"

"That's what Ruan Hongfei wants." The decision has already been made, even if Wei Ning has doubts, Ming Zhan still has no intention of changing it. "In front of the throne, there are very few people who are not tempted."
