The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

Second Grandma Ming finally survived, the Ruan family and the queen were relieved.Just half a month later, something happened again.Mingduan's younger brother Mingshun went to the Yamen to beat drums and sued Ruan Sanye for murder and wounding.Yamen actually sent someone to arrest the suspect from Ruan's house!Still wearing iron locks.And "Chengdu Weekly" was not afraid of big things, and sent photographers to follow the film from beginning to end, and published a special issue the next day.Not only the history of Ruan Sanye's murder and interviews with witnesses were published in detail, but also the grievances of Fang Duan and other officials were published.In an instant, the government and the public were in an uproar, and the whole country paid attention.

The queen was so angry that she broke into Situ Cen's yamen.Situ Cen was discussing business matters with his subordinates, he was taken aback when he saw this, he stood up and cupped his hands: "Hi, Mrs. Wang."

The queen sneered and said, "Third brother is very majestic. Dare I ask third brother, where did I offend him?"

Situ Cen was stunned: "What did Mrs. Wang say? Why do I understand every word, but I can't understand all of them together?"

The queen took something and slammed it on Situ Cen's face.Situ Cen grabbed the thing within five centimeters of his handsome face.At first glance, it was the newly published "Chengdu Weekly".The queen said, "This newspaper is run by you, right?"

"Yes, I did it." Situ Cen said, "Did we publish any fake news? Probably not."

The queen gritted her teeth: "What do you want to write about my nephew in such detail?"

Situ Cen said: "Isn't this news? Of course the news should be reported in detail, otherwise how can readers understand it?" He put the newspaper on the desk, smiled and said, "I'm not talented, I want to remind Mrs. Wang. Even if you I gave birth to my eldest nephew for my second brother, and the Kingdom of Shu still does not belong to you. The Kingdom of Shu belongs to my elder brother now, and will belong to my eldest nephew in the future. It will never belong to you. It will not belong to your sister or nephew."

The queen's eyes were wide open, and it took a long time before she said: "Good, good, good." Turned around and left.

Situ Cen waved from behind: "It's okay to leave!"

Not long after, a eunuch and nanny ran into the prince's study in panic, winking all over the place: "My son, my son! The empress is ill, please hurry over and have a look!"

The prince hurriedly got up and rushed to the queen's room to have a look, so he was very happy.The queen hung a white silk on the beam and tied it loosely.She herself stepped on the chair and wept while clutching Lingjie, and the eunuch and court lady knelt down on the ground.Shi Zi shook his head, without turning his head, he said: "Uncle Hu, help me." Hearing the sound of "swoosh", the white silk was broken at the root, and fell softly to the ground.A guard behind Shizi was putting away the boomerang.The son said, "The queen mother has worked hard. I know you are doing it for the third cousin. Please come down first, and I will explain it to the queen mother."

Naturally, the queen didn't really want to hang herself.She also knew that this drama could not be shown to the king of Shu, but only to the prince.With a sullen face, Nai supported the little eunuch's hand and slowly got off the chair.The prince turned around and told people to go to his study to get the report from Tongchuiling, and he went up to support the queen himself.The mother and daughter sat down on the two golden nanmu chairs by the window, and Bai Ling was still slumped on the ground without anyone to clean up.

The eldest son asked: "Does the empress like me or my third cousin?"

The queen said firmly: "If I ask you to help my third cousin, it's because I don't like you?"

The prince nodded and said, "Not bad."

"Why?"

The son sighed: "Does the Queen know how far the power of the Federation has reached? The King of Liao has already decided to abandon the Liao Kingdom and go to Russia to expand the territory. Except for our Shu Kingdom and those that split from the Chu Kingdom, there are more than [-] A small country that can be ignored, they have roughly collected all of China."

The queen was stunned: "What does it have to do with the Federation? Didn't we sign a trade most-favored nation agreement with them?"

"They also signed the Most Favored Nation Agreement with the State of Yue." The prince said, "The State of Yue joined in the same way, and they also had the help of the State of Yan to destroy the State of Wu."

The queen said: "Yue Kingdom let Zhen Zangzhu firmly hold in his hands. Naturally, he doesn't cherish the country that is not his own."

"No matter what the reason is, this is the end of the matter." The prince said, "I have known the Jia family in Dajiala for many years. Jia Cong made it clear. He will not use force against Shu, although we will not be able to fight." She paused.The queen frowned and said nothing.The prince continued, "But it's just not using force. For example, Mingduan. If I don't give the Ming family fairness, it won't take three months for Jia Cong to abduct his whole family without anyone noticing. The second grandma will send assassins to assassinate the third cousin and plant it on the guerrillas when she gets angry, do you always believe it?"

"This..." The queen gasped.After a while she said, "That can't ruin your cousin's reputation! He is still young. As the saying goes, no one can do anything wrong without being a sage. Let him make up for Na Minger, and let your uncle give you a generous gift. Wouldn't it be alright?"

The son said indifferently: "If someone stabbed the third cousin and killed him, then he will pay for it afterwards and just give a generous gift, will my aunt agree?"

"You're arguing!" The queen patted the tea table and said, "He is a minister and you are a king, and your cousin is your cousin. How can they be the same."

The prince shrugged and said: "So the Ming family has to swallow this bad breath, and they still feel unhappy; Jia Cong can still abduct their whole family and kill the third cousin by the way."

The queen sighed: "At worst, I'll go and apologize to that girl myself. Is that all right?"

The eldest son also sighed: "Mother, you need to do business with me if you want to do business. It's not that you expect others to give you face and others will give it to you."

The queen was anxious: "Does he have to be used?"

"No." The son said, "It's just that other people can't compare with him. Compared with the Federation, Shu has few talents, so they are extremely precious." She said seriously, "Don't worry about the third cousin's affairs, the queen mother, the law has its own Arbitration. This is also helping him. If you still protect him—" Just as he was speaking, the person sent to fetch the things had returned.The crown prince handed the thing to the queen, "Sooner or later he will be assassinated by the guerrillas."

The queen glanced at it. It was a dossier, and on the cover was written "Investigation Report: Public Opinion of Tonghammer Ridge Guerrillas".Shizi turned to a certain page and pointed to a passage on it.The queen looked intently, and it was written that a small official was investigating the guerrillas in Dengjia Village, Tongchuiling.

The little official chopped firewood for a lonely old man in the village for a long time, and begged him: "You are so old anyway, even if you say something, the guerrillas would not dare to revenge you. You have pity on me, Let me tell you the truth. Otherwise, after months of hard investigation, I would not be able to explain to Shangfeng."

The lonely old man laughed and said: "My old man is really not afraid. It's not that he's not afraid of them, it's that he's not afraid of the government."

The little official said: "Has the government ever harmed your youngest?"

"No." The lonely old man said, "I am an old man alone. If I have sons and grandchildren, I will be afraid. I am afraid that one day some noble person will be unhappy and kill my children and grandchildren for fun. Young people, can you Don’t say there’s nothing like that.”

The little official thought about it for a while: "There are indeed. But there are very few. There are many natural disasters, but there are not many man-made disasters."

The lonely old man said: "There is no way out of natural disasters, but to accept fate; man-made disasters are wronged! There are guerrillas, and those who suffer from man-made disasters may be able to get revenge? If there are no guerrillas--just like the cow in the town Boy, if he dies, he will die. What can he do? My son, don’t blame me for telling the truth. Ordinary people like guerrillas, and they will help them hide and keep secrets.” The little official was silent.

After watching it, the queen thought about it and asked, "How did the boy surnamed Niu die?"

Shizi turned to the first two pages.The little official has also been to the town near this village.A young man surnamed Niu in the town made a living collecting herbs and went to the county town to sell them.When the son of the county magistrate wanted to buy medicine, he was only willing to give [-]% of the price.The bull boy refused to sell, so he let the dog legs beat him to death.The Niu family had only one son, and the old lady went blind from crying.Half a month later, the guerrillas killed the county magistrate's son.

The son said solemnly: "If the Niu family came to Chengdu to file a complaint, if my father or I knew about it, we would definitely kill the county magistrate's son to rectify the law. However, the Niu family never came. One is that the journey is far away, and the old man has inconvenient legs and feet; the other is They have always felt that suing the government by the people has no chance of winning; three other guerrillas are faster than us."

She turned to the last few pages, which were appendices.This matter happened in Chengdu.A dandy was jealous of a commoner man in Hualou, and the dandy ordered his men to beat the commoner out. In the chaos, one of them accidentally pushed the commoner down the stairs and fell to his death.The investigating officer interviewed many witnesses, all of whom confirmed that it was a mistake rather than intentional.And it's not that the stairway has never fallen to a drunk man, most likely it only bumped a point and never hurt.The man fell to his death because the back of his head hit a pillar, which was purely accidental.However, the guerrillas still assassinated the dude.The little official asked the victim's neighbors.Even though everyone said that this person was lazy, incompetent, disrespectful to his parents and many other things, they all insisted that he was killed by a dude for no reason, and that the guerrillas did a good job.

The prince said: "These people are not troublemakers. It's just that they don't have dog legs to follow them when they go out. If they fight with others, they will definitely suffer. Therefore, they all feel that the rich are bullying others. As for whether they deliberately missed or missed, they don't want to know." She closed the file and said, "Once the government is unfair and the people have the power to act for the people, the people will support them involuntarily. Just like guerrillas. If things go on like this, the people of Shu will gradually lose their hearts and the fate of the country will be in jeopardy."

The queen thought for a long time, and said: "Is there no way to wipe out this guerrilla?"

The prince sighed softly: "So many people are helping them hide, it's like finding a needle in a haystack. Besides, if we wipe out the guerrillas, the people of Shu will be powerless to uphold justice; and other countries are fair, and the people will naturally leave Shu and move to Another country. Mother, the third cousin has a misunderstanding that he can not be punished for breaking the law. Many people also have this misunderstanding. The case of the third cousin can let them understand that no one is outside the law. If the government can uphold justice, Guerrillas are useless.”

The queen said displeased: "Are you really putting your cousin in jail?"

"That's right." The son said, "I really want him to go to jail. Because if he doesn't go to jail, I will lose the Kingdom of Shu. If I lose the Kingdom of Shu, my mother will no longer be the queen and queen mother. The mother is willing to let my cousin Go to jail, or do you want to be queen?"

The queen hesitated to speak, so there are three things.Finally he let out a long sigh: "Is that what you mean by the article in the Chengdu Weekly?"

"Yes." Shizi nodded and said, "I mean."

"Using my cousin as a chicken to kill a monkey?"

The prince thought for a while: "No. I'm judging monkeys and terrorizing monkeys."

The queen sat there for a long time, weeping. "Your mother is so young that your aunt has taken care of her. Instead of looking at the monk's face and the Buddha's face, how about just repaying your aunt's favor for me?"

The son wiped away his mother's tears and said: "The child will definitely take care of my aunt. If you want to return her favor, just say it, and you can't protect anyone from the law."

After half a day, the queen gritted her teeth and said, "What a cruel heart! Your heart is almost as hard as your father's."

The prince smiled bitterly and said, "Do I think so myself? Don't I want to be a girl with a soft heart? How about I go out and tell others that I am a woman and pass the position of prince to my cousin? The third uncle has three sons. "The queen was dumbfounded.The son also shed tears. "If I hadn't carried the name of a son, I could have stayed in school as a lecturer after graduation. Maybe I would get married after graduating from a bachelor's degree, and now I have two children. I can also be a good wife and mother. Why bother? You forced me to pretend to be a man to inherit the Kingdom of Shu, and blamed me for being hard-hearted like a man. What should I do?"

The queen thought about it, it was really hard for a daughter who pretended to be a man every day, and even the county horse couldn't do it openly.Compared with the daughter, the nephew was immediately compared.Then he also cried.The mother and daughter shed tears fiercely at each other.The queen took the son's hand and said, "My son! I have wronged you. The queen mother will not ask these things anymore. You are in trouble, so what should you do." The son nodded with tears in his eyes, then remembered that there was something else to do outside, and resigned.

As soon as he got out of the queen's courtyard, the prince wiped away his tears and said with relief to the people following him: "I'm so exhausted. It's even more difficult to deal with than the courtiers." The followers couldn't help laughing and laughed.

Three days later, the prefect of Chengdu publicly tried Ruan Sanye's intentional wounding case and sentenced him to three years in prison.Chengdu Weekly published another special issue.The officials and eunuchs in the whole city of Chengdu were shocked.The wives and grandmas in the backyard all know that the queen and her sister have a deep affection, and Mrs. Ruan loves her youngest son the most.Even the third master Ruan had to go to jail for hurting a fan, and now this prince is much more heartless than the Supreme King... There are so many discussions.

A few days later, the prince wrote to the King of Jin, taking Mingduan as an example, requesting that the law should be amended, that officials' crimes would no longer implicate their family members, and that the Jiaofang Division should be abolished.As soon as this remark came out, many officials immediately objected.

King Jin looked at the prince with a half-smile, "They all object."

"Not everyone is against it." The son said seriously, "The difference between the Jiaofang Division and the ordinary Hualou is that the women in the Jiaofang Division are all the wives, daughters and even mothers of your colleagues in the past. If they hadn't entered that place, it would be inconvenient for them Bullying. Adults get the pleasure of bullying their colleagues in the Jiaofang Division."

A minister said: "The Secretary of the Jiaofang can warn the officials of the imperial court. If you do not forgive the prince and the people, your wife and daughter will be reduced to this. Don't get rid of it."

"Decapitation can't be a warning, let alone a few fans." The prince raised his eyebrows and said, "My lords, do you take pity on your wives, daughters and mothers?"

Everyone said: "This is natural."

"You have all heard about the unjust case in Yuzhou, right?" said the prince, "Master Li who settled the case was neither a corrupt nor a stupid official, but a little careless. However, Mingduan and other adults are still wronged for four years. The wives, daughters, and mothers still suffered for four years in the Jiaofang Division. Some have passed away, and even more have insulted their innocence. Who can blame this? Can only blame fate? Everyone, no one dares to say that he will not encounter injustice in his life. If there is no Jiaofang Secretary, even if you are wronged, your wife, daughter, and mother will not be degraded." She glanced at the officials, "Or you would rather let your wife, daughter, and mother risk being degraded than let go of bullying Opportunities for colleagues’ wives and daughters’ mothers?”

"This..." The officials were dumbfounded.Who dares to say yes?

Situ Cen said loudly: "Brother Wang, what the elder nephew said is absolutely true. The younger brother agrees."

Situ Cen had a very high prestige in the court, and several ministers immediately agreed with him.Those who disapproved were speechless for a moment.It happened inexplicably!The king of Shu called his son to him and asked in a low voice with a smile, "What the hell are you doing?"

The prince also whispered: "I don't want the guerrillas to help the court do what the court should do."
