Self-cultivation of male support

"Your Majesty knows that the request is rude, but I beg Your Majesty to grant your request for the sake of serving His Majesty loyally. My wife is pregnant, and the fetal image is unstable. The doctor said it was caused by too much worry. In the past month, I have even taken the medicine like a meal, even if it is so, my mental head is getting worse day by day.

Looking at it, I am afraid that this fetus will not be saved.

Your Majesty, I am lonely now, my parents, wives and children have all abandoned me, and I have finally developed a friendship with Madam to share weal and woe, if this continues, Madam may not be able to bear it..."

As he kowtowed, there were already tears in his eyes when he got up again: "Your Majesty, please let your father-in-law and mother-in-law go and see..."

Shi Yan felt that this kid was really knowledgeable about current affairs, that Houhei learned his tricks for nothing, and that he had no psychological barriers at all when he knelt down in front of the emperor who could be called an enemy.Look at what this said, one minister at a time, one concubine at a time, you still can't find fault with them.

At that time, for the sake of looking good, he really had the vain job of a regular fifth-rank official, foreigner, and there was nothing wrong with calling himself a minister.

Even if there is something about the precious concubine, the emperor can't deny it. Now the whole capital knows everything that should be known. The precious concubine's natal family has committed a crime, and the precious concubine herself is locked in prison waiting to die. Can you say that?cannot.

The imperial court needs face. As the new emperor, the old emperor cannot be discredited. The royal family also needs face.

When people don't eat or drink, face is just a fart, and it doesn't make a sound when it is released. For a bite to eat, even grabbing food from the pigs in the pigsty is not uncommon.

But sometimes, in this situation of not worrying about eating and drinking, and pursuing a higher level of spiritual civilization, the face is bigger than the sky, and the life of the individual, even the life of the family, or the life of the entire nine clans can be sacrificed.

Therefore, in terms of etiquette, the current emperor has to cover up the face of the previous emperor. Everyone in the prison knows who it is, but he can say it, that precious concubine, or in other words, he should be called Baotai now. The noble concubine is still being raised in the palace.

The emperor did not respond, but asked another question: "Then where is your concubine mother?"

Oh, it’s okay if I don’t mention it, but when I mention it, Xie Chaozhou has more to say, and the tears in his eyes can no longer be held back, and they are falling down. Those who don’t know how deep he really is with the precious concubine As for friendship, if you don't want to see the other party suffer a little bit, you can't wait to replace it with your own body.

"Your Majesty Long En, treat my ministers and my elder brothers with kindness. In the past, it was a lot of inconvenience. This matter really shouldn't be mentioned. But now, Your Majesty has been honored as a great treasure, and the world is returning to the heart. It is thriving and respected by all people. Let me keep a few more It is inconvenient for the old concubine to be in the palace."

Shi Yan blinked, there was nothing wrong with this statement. Normally speaking, the old emperor's own son would inherit the throne. Some of the old emperor's concubines were used for burial, and most of the sons and daughters were in the palace circle. This place will be honored and raised, and the rest will be sent directly to the royal temple.

Anyway, the emperor always treated his concubine like this.

But now, Zong Chixian, who inherits the throne, is not the son of the old emperor. In terms of seniority, he and the old emperor are of the same generation, so the women left by the old emperor are, to a certain extent, the current emperor sister-in-law.

This widow's sister-in-law lives with her brother-in-law, it's hard to say.

Does no one know this?Of course, many people know it well, but why not point it out?The reason is also obvious.

Naturally, they were left as hostages. These sons left by the old emperor should not be taken lightly or seriously. something troublesome.

So the mothers and concubines of these princes stayed in the palace to give them enough dignity, and to make a place for them to live comfortably, and to be hostages with peace of mind. up.

The emperor didn't know what kind of mood he was in. He looked at the fifth prince on the ground, and unexpectedly chatted with him: "Chaozhou, the house you live in is only two doors away, and your daughter-in-law is pregnant again. When the family has a baby My child, I'm afraid I need to add a few more waiters. I'm afraid you won't be able to turn around your yard because you come and go, come in and go out.

Let's not talk about the affairs of the court today, let's not talk about the twists and turns of the royal family, let's just talk about a very practical question, where do you want Concubine Bao to come home with you?

Before the late emperor, he was a respectable person for half his life. He was served by dozens of court ladies and eunuchs. His basic necessities of life were exquisite to the extreme. When he had nothing to do, he had to open up a two-acre vegetable garden to pass the time. You saw it last time, your mother. Although the clothes worn by the concubine are made of cotton.

But the hemming thread is the best gold thread, and the cuffs and hem of the clothes have to be carefully embroidered with various dark patterns by the embroiderers in the palace. Although the food is simple, the plate of stir-fried cabbage is made of premium quality Choose the cabbage with the best appearance and the tenderest core inside, and a plate can be produced from one acre of land.

Not to mention others.

If you take her home, you can't really let your mother and concubine go to the field to grow vegetables for you and your family, right?

Since you can't, then taking her home is not a blessing, but a big unfilial act, so why bother?If you are really worried, isn't it beautiful to go into the palace every month to see her old man?

You think about it carefully before you answer me, do you really have money, a house and food and someone to support your mother? "

Xie Chaozhou said in his heart, even if I have it, I can't say it loudly at this time. Isn't this just waiting to be caught as a pigtail and let me develop in the direction of going bankrupt?Isn't it a waste of hard work to act in the capital for several months?

So he looked at the emperor very aggrieved, shaking his head with a bit of confusion in his eyes: "Return to your majesty, minister, there is no minister."

As he spoke, he walked a few steps on his knees, stepped forward and hugged the emperor's thigh, crying like a child who was not weaned, and got goose bumps all over his body while watching, how should I put it?

If it were him, I really wouldn't be able to do this.On the other hand, this is also a talent.

"Your Majesty, what should I do? I have not been very close to my mother since I was a child, and I am very envious when I see other brothers and their mothers kissing each other when I was young.

In the current situation, Chen thought that he just had the opportunity to take his mother home, so that he could get closer to her, so as not to regret it. "

As he said that, he glanced at the emperor embarrassedly. After looking at it, Shi Yan almost didn't choke anyway, and his eyes were too damn hot. His eyes were full of snot, and all of them smeared on his face. In short, Shi Yan The melon seeds in his hand suddenly couldn't be eaten, and he even felt a little nauseous.

I just listened to the humane voice: "Secondly, it's because I'm doing something to your Majesty in private. Recently, there have been many rumors in the market, which are not very pleasant. I want to help your majesty solve problems, so that your majesty can live in peace and happiness."

He really looks like a good courtier.

The emperor recently saw a lot of ministers crying, crying, and threatening pillars in the previous court. Xie Chaozhou was a trivial matter, and he was very stable. He also acted as if he was deeply moved, and patted Xie Chaozhou's shoulder, helped him up with his own hands, and told the eunuch beside him: "Go, take your fifth master to the back hall to freshen up, what does it look like to go out like this, and shame our old Xie Jiaerlang!"

The fifth prince only hugged the emperor's leg and did not move. He looked at the emperor eagerly, as if he was very dependent and completely trusted in all the emperor's decisions.

The emperor patted him on the head: "You child, don't you still trust your sixth uncle? After you wash up, let's talk about your father-in-law and mother-in-law."

Only then did Xie Chaozhou show a shy smile, and followed the eunuch away.

When the father and son were left in the room, Shi Yan pushed a handful of melon seeds in his hand to the emperor, and the emperor was so moved: "My son is filial, and if he has a mouthful of delicious food, he will leave a mouthful for his father. What a father!" good son."

When Shi Yan glanced at the emperor, he didn't intend to say that he kept it because he couldn't eat after watching Xie Chaozhou's performance of singing, reciting and fighting.

The emperor asked Shi Yan happily: "Son, why are you looking at that little bastard?"

Shi Yan rolled his eyes, isn't the lice on the bald man's head obvious?

"Nowadays, who in the entire capital does not know that behind the old emperor's longevity and decades of youth, it is inseparable from the mother's family behind the precious concubine?

Everyone wants to pry something out of those people's mouths!In recent days, people who enter and leave the prison of the Ministry of Justice can make the Minister of the Ministry of Justice bald with worry. Everyone is not a simple person, and there is an unspeakable backer behind them. I can't help being tempted.

A few days ago I went to the prison to take a look. Baoyin and the others had suffered a lot, not that they had received any excessive punishment, but that there were groups and groups of people eager to get something from them. During the interrogation, there was no time to sleep, and the people were so thin that they lost their appearance.

One month's time in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice is much more than suffering with me all the way from the extreme north to the capital.

Coupled with the fact that everyone in their clan is an expert, who wouldn't be envious?If it weren't for the fact that the military power is now in our hands, I am afraid that some people would have taken risks just because of those tens of thousands of masters!

It's strange that the kid didn't want to take advantage of this opportunity with Baoyin to climb up.But after all, there is progress, and I didn't come until today. "

Shi Yan picked up the topmost book from the stack of dark blue booklets placed on the desk, glanced at it, dipped the pen into the ink, wrote the word "read" on it without thinking, and put it aside , Opened another book, and was doing the flow work, and could annotate almost without looking closely, and at a glance, the handwriting was exactly the same as the emperor's.

Without raising his head, he ordered the people around him: "Go and bring the Zong family couple here!" He didn't delay the movement of his hands at all, and after a while, half of the stack of papers was lost, and he looked very fast.

Regarding Shi Yan's behavior of criticizing the papers on behalf of the emperor, all the eunuchs and court ladies around seemed to have seen nothing, watching their noses, noses, noses, and hearts.They are all the emperor's confidantes, and they will not reveal a word to the outside world.

I was familiar with this matter at the time, and they were all insignificant greetings, written in all kinds of things, extremely nasty, what I missed the emperor, I couldn’t sleep, I couldn’t eat, I saw a flower, I went to a place, If you say a word, you can think of how the emperor used to be. At night, when you think of the emperor, you have to get up and go to the Buddhist hall to burn a stick of incense and ask God to bless the emperor with good health.

The emperor had long been impatient with these things, so he picked up another stack of dark red books and started to look through them from the beginning, because they were serious books, and any one of them might be related to the lives of thousands of people, so he didn't dare to be careless, so he read it carefully. Very serious.

Still unwilling to say: "Lorry, you are so wordy, your father and I haven't read many books since we were young. If it wasn't for the fact that we have nothing to do in recent years, we have read some books that even make sense. I just don’t understand what is written!

In the future, we must correct the problem of these people talking around the bush!At the very least, those annoying notes can no longer appear here! "

After dipping in the ink, Shi Yan continued to reply on the memorial, his attitude seemed very loose, and the speed was really fast, and he did not idle: "Hey, if this thing does not change the current bureaucratic system, it cannot be completely eradicated. .

The sky is high, the emperor is far away, those officials from other places will show their faces in front of you without saying anything every month, within two months, can you still think of their number one person?

Now that the booklet has been delivered, if you don't see it with your own eyes, people will think you have something to say about them!One by one trembling with fear, scared to death.

This matter is not as simple as asking An Zhezi. "

After Shi Yan finished correcting the three stacks of papers on the case table, he threw the brush casually and lay on the small couch as if he had no bones. Someone beside him quickly gathered the things on the table. Your Highness, the Zong family couple and Fifth Lord Xie are out to see you."

Shi Yan saw the little eunuch's embarrassed face, waved his hands and said, "Say what you want to say."

The little eunuch gritted his teeth, wishing he could bury his head in his chest, he didn't dare to look at the two above and said: "The person who was ordered to bring the family's husband and wife also brought Mrs. Ding.

Say, say yes, say that Mrs. Ding forced her to die and didn't want to be separated from her sister-in-law. The guards had no choice but to bring them together. "

After finishing speaking, he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, knelt down on the ground and dared not get up, who in and outside the palace didn't know that His Majesty and His Highness the Crown Prince were very indifferent to that lady?

But even so, the existence of that lady is still very special. Just because she is the biological mother of His Highness the Crown Prince, even His Majesty has to give her some face. Everyone can't do it. During this period of time, they can only ignore her existence as much as possible. As if there is no such person.

So Ding Wan completely became a transparent person.

Shi Yan and the emperor looked at each other, and the emperor said: "In that case, let's announce it."

Unexpectedly easy to talk, everyone in the hall couldn't help but become active, but they didn't dare to show the slightest bit on their faces.

Xie Chaozhou came in with Zong Chijian, his wife, and Ding Wan. They had just met outside, but because of the wrong occasion, they didn't say anything.

Of course, talking is limited to Zong Chijian and his wife's unilateral desire to communicate more with their son-in-law.

But right now, the couple had long lost the intention to communicate with their son-in-law, asking him to find a way to get them out of the sinkhole of the palace.

The two of them had already learned how to behave during this period. They knelt down and kowtowed as soon as they entered the door. They didn't dare to look around at all. After hearing the voice of someone shouting from above, they still had a strange sense of familiarity in their hearts, and they were in a trance for a moment.

As a result, when they got up and glanced casually, the couple were dumbfounded. If the person in front of them is not their little brother Zong Chixian, who is it? !

The two of them looked at Shang Zong Chixian's eyes, then at Shi Yan who was sitting beside him, and then at Ding Wan who was standing aside with hatred in his eyes, and felt that Tian Ling Gai was trembling along with it.

This this!This face is so recognizable, even if it turns into ashes, the two of them will not recognize it wrong!

My heart turned back and forth, my face seemed to be happy or sad, and I couldn't speak because of excitement. From the outsiders' perspective, it was these two people who were stunned after seeing the sky.

A eunuch next to him scolded: "The Zong couple, don't face Shengyan directly!"

A yell brought the two back to the status quo, and the husband and wife quickly exchanged glances, Shi Yan didn't understand what the two had exchanged, so he watched them leisurely, only thinking that the expressions of the two were extremely interesting.

So he said to the emperor seemingly unintentionally: "Father, it was these two people who used to deprive me of my food and ruin my reputation at Zhejian Villa, and let me live in a deserted courtyard to fend for myself!"

The emperor glanced coldly at the two of them very cooperatively, Xie Chaozhou was very aware of current affairs and reduced his sense of existence, standing with Ding Shi as a dead person who could vent his anger.Completely exposed the clan couple under the eyes of the emperor.

Sure enough, the Zong and his wife argued excitedly, Mrs. Zong, who was in the front line, took a step forward, her expression was mixed with excitement and panic, and she took a distorted step forward: "Your Majesty, listen to my explanation, there is a misunderstanding!

Our family used to think that Shi Yan was the child of my second brother Chixian, and after Chixian left, he treated their mother and son in every possible way, but one day Ding told us that Ayan was not a child of our clan at all, but a child of our clan. She had an affair with someone else, how can we accept this?

We treated Shi Yan like that out of a moment of anger and didn't turn the corner. Please understand how we love our little brother as big brothers and sisters-in-law! "

As he spoke, he knelt on the ground and didn't cry loudly, but looking at his face, anyone who didn't know the truth would feel that he was really wronged. Even if the emperor gave his younger brother a cuckold, he would treat the emperor's child well Raised up, not only right, but also a bit of benevolence and righteousness in it.

The emperor is at fault for this matter!

Shi Yan raised his eyebrows, Duan's was threatening his father with this matter, he was able to react so quickly, without revealing his father's identity, the plan was very big.

They kept picking them up, and at the same time gave them a good reputation of benevolence and righteousness. Anyway, they didn't say anything from head to toe, but they said everything, it was all the fault of Ding and the emperor.

As long as his father accepts Duan Shi's statement today, in countless years to come, Duan Shi will be able to use this to control his father to death.

Good idea, but too naive.

If they were really afraid that their identities would be exposed by the Duan family, they would wipe out all the Zhejian villas from the moment Shi Yan returned to Beijing, leaving no one alive.

With a soft snort, Shi Yan simply kicked off his shoes and got on the small couch, casually peeled off a sweet orange and stuffed it into his mouth, the fragrance filled his mouth, he found a comfortable position and leaned on the ground, kneeling directly on the ground Duan said: "Auntie, why have you wronged yourself so much now? In the past, you were a person who was not afraid of anything and never said anything!

Holding a Zhejian Mountain Villa without revealing any water, leaving my nephew with nowhere to go to heaven and nowhere to go down, and forcefully robbing the dog of food for five years, even if the uncle is in front of you, that is so respectful, why bother to do it How can I make my nephew laugh at me by showing such a cowardly gesture? "

Duan just didn't speak, although she was kneeling, she pretended to hold onto Shi Yan and Zong Chixian without any fear, and looked at the emperor on the couch with a smile that was not a smile, and finally fixed her eyes on Ding Wan Body: "Siblings, we are cousins ​​who grew up together.

How I have treated you all these years, you know very well, if it weren't for that incident, we wouldn't just blame him as a child, and we would provide you with good food and drink, you know this, right? "

Anyway, as long as Zong Chixian still wants to continue to use the status of Lao Xie's family as the emperor, he will swallow the loss of abusing his son, even if it is covered with shit, so what?

He didn't believe that between the throne and his son, he would choose his son, no one would be so stupid, Duan believed this very much.

But if Shi Yan had to say it, he would definitely tell Duan that his father was a person who didn't have enough for everything, and he would choose to have it all!

But when there is no need for now, Yan told Duan Shi, because Ding Wan himself did not intend to cooperate with Duan Shi's performance at all. After entering the room, Duan Shi stared at Zong Chixian's face, the madness in his eyes was impossible to ignore.

I don't know if she listened to Duan Shi's words, she stood on the spot and sorted out the old clothes, and then combed her hair with her hands, tidying herself from top to bottom.

A very ladylike salute to Zong Chixian, with affectionate eyes.

"Erlang, after so many years, I thought I would never see you again in this life. I didn't realize that there is still today between us. I said back then that the relationship between you and me is destined. Too many people want to get in between you and me, that's just a delusion!

But you don't believe in fate, don't accept fate.You see, no matter where you are or what your status is, as long as Ah Yan is there, the place next to you can only be mine, and no one can take it away.

You are always so soft-hearted. Back then, your father was incompetent in favoring your elder brother, and secretly gave your brother the family property you earned. You seem to have indulged secretly for many years in the face of the family.Because I'm pregnant with Ah Yan, you can't do anything to me.You see, you are that kind of person.

Now, you can still treat me leniently based on the love you had back then, can't you? "

As soon as Ding Wan opened his mouth, Shi Yan asked the servants who were serving him to retreat. To be honest, there are some things that he and Zong Zhixian have a lot of blood, so it doesn't matter, but these people probably have no way out, so Ding Wan talked for a long time, and only the few people present listened.

But when they heard it, they couldn't react on the surface. As for the various thoughts of watching the excitement in their hearts, it was inconvenient to express it, but this did not prevent them from pricking their ears high.

Zong Chixian was obviously disgusted. For so many years, every time he saw Ding Wan, he felt disgusted. Who would believe that since the two knew each other, he had had sex with the other party once, and it was Ding Wan's overlord. The time with Shi Yan.

From then on, Zong Chixian really felt uncomfortable even if he took a second look.So he played with the emerald jade ring on his finger and left him there without saying a word.

Ding Wan's eyes were helpless and desolate, and his eyes fell on Shi Yan, so Shi Yan very cooperatively threw a small mirror over, and said cheerfully: "Hey, you just sorted out your appearance for a long time, but you don't even know, you While talking, the dandruff is falling down like pieces of paper! I have been blind for a long time!"

Shi Yan knew that Ding Wan loved face, so he simply couldn't stand it, especially in front of others.
