Get on the wrong sedan chair and marry the right wolf

"Don't talk nonsense!"

When Ling Jiang heard her mention Qu Quan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, his veins twitched and he hurriedly looked around for dark passages. Almost all the servants in the mansion were here. Ji'er's words might spread to the Shangshu's mansion tomorrow.

Seeing her father's sudden and solemn expression looking around, Ling Xueji knew that she had made a slip of the tongue, but she was so upright that she didn't want to say anything nice about that Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment.She was raised in a boudoir far away in Wu County, but she could also hear rumors that the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment was cruel.

It is said that those who cannot be examined by Yushitai can be sent to Xiatai Prison Secretary, Qu Shangshu, and the case will be revealed within three days.But nine out of ten of the prisoners who were tried were hanged with medicinal materials to the execution ground.

There are even rumors that the reason why that Qu Shangshu is able to sit in today's position is because she messed up right and wrong in the Concubine Shu case that shocked the government and the public, and involved the entire Ministry of Criminal Justice. Officials were either beheaded or exiled. In short, no one was spared except Qu Quan.I don't know what tricks that person used, but he was promoted by the Holy Spirit as the new Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment because of a blessing in disguise.This person's methods are vicious and his heart is terrible, which makes people feel terrified.

"The Minister of the Ministry of Punishments is loyal to the country. If the methods are not severe, how can the crimes of those criminals be made public! You grew up in a deep boudoir and didn't study hard. How can you know what the world outside is like?" I hope it is not too late to make up for it. Ling Jiang prayed in his heart that while Xueji's words would reach Qu Quan's ears tomorrow, his own words would also be passed on.

Thinking about it, Ling Jiang sighed heavily, Ling Xueji's words were not entirely unreasonable, although the rumors of Qu Quan's were ignored by the Holy One, it could not be said that they were all false.How much is true and how much is false is that even the former Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments who was convicted of the case of Concubine Shu, the person concerned, can't see clearly.These outsiders who are far away in Wu County can only half believe and half believe. They originally thought that the wolves in the capital would not come to Wu County, and they could live a peaceful life.Unexpectedly, the fire at the city gate would affect the fish in the pond, and the secret fight between Qu Quan and Wei Yueyan, the General of the Twelve Guards, would even affect his Gusu City in Wu County, which is far away in the sky.

My two biological daughters, whom I have raised since childhood, are about to be married to two women. The prefect of Wu County is also unwilling in his heart, but what if he doesn't want to?

The sacred order is hard to break.

It is better to marry badly than to lose your life.

Thinking of this, Ling Jiang clenched his hands into fists and became cruel, "Don't discuss this matter again." He flicked his sleeves and turned his back, "Since you have no objection, then you go back to your room and get ready to marry tomorrow After you become a person, you must never be so willful again."

"Daddy!" Ling Xueji seemed completely unaware that his father would be so cold-blooded. Seeing his father turning his back and making a gesture to go, he subconsciously wanted to catch up. Balanced but unconsciously following the center of gravity and rushing forward, the foot slipped and the whole person fell from the tall swallow wing pavilion.

"what------"

"Quick! Hurry up and catch the second lady!"

"Catch it, catch it!!"

"Second miss, here, here!!"

Under the protection of a group of servants who reacted extremely quickly, Ling Xueji finally landed safely, but the situation was too sudden, no matter how well prepared the servants were, they inevitably hit their knees.Ling Xueji had just stood up, but because of the severe damage to her knee, she fell straight on the ground again, grinning from the pain, but did not forget to struggle to get up and kneel again.

"Dad and daughter, I beg you, my sister is weak in writing and doesn't know martial arts, marrying into the Shangshu Mansion means going to the pit of fire, Daddy!!"

The prefect, who was trying to force himself not to turn his head, was struggling in his heart, and he felt that it took his whole life to control his still inviolable tone, "You don't have to worry about your sister, she has been educated and sensible since she was a child, and she sees things well. Everything is more organized than you, and she will understand this matter."

"Daddy!! No way, Daddy, don't go!! Daddy!!!"

Ling Jiang closed his eyes and slowly opened again, turned around and left with a flick of his sleeves, and let Ling Xueji cry behind him and hit the ground with his delicate forehead to make a dull impact sound, all the servants turned their heads and couldn't bear to look.

The dark red blood slowly smeared along the ground, and the sound of crying also changed from strong to weak, but the sound of hitting the ground with the head continued without the slightest pause.No one dared to help their second lady, not even to get close. At this moment, Ling Xueji was like a wild beast, whoever dared to enter her sight would be doomed.

"What's going on here!" A voice came from Ling Ran, and before everyone recovered, a frosty figure flew in front of them, hugged the person who had tortured him to death, and looked at his forehead in distress. Wound.

Ling Xueji dazedly opened her blood-smeared eyes, and saw that the person hugging her was snow-skinned and beautiful, with a tear mole in the corner of her eye that was about to cry. It was her sister Ling Qiufan who she wanted to protect so hard.

"Sister!" She hugged Ling Qiufan back, buried her face in her sister's neck, weeping uncontrollably, "Daddy is so cruel, she doesn't want us anymore... Daddy doesn't want us anymore..."

Ling Qiufan looked at the younger sister who was crying on her shoulder, his heart was like a knife, he stretched out his hand and patted Ling Xueji's shoulder comfortingly, "Why would Daddy not want us, it's just that Daddy, as a courtier of Daxia, can't do it just because of an individual." disobedience to the emperor's will."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, um... um..." Before Ling Xueji could finish speaking, Ling Qiufan blocked her mouth.

"Aside from the forehead, where else is Ji'er injured?" Seeing that Ling Xueji didn't intend to continue talking, Ling Qiufan let go of his hand, waved away the servant who wanted to help, and let Ling Xueji stand up with his support.Her sister is so stubborn, how can she let others feel her helplessness.

Ling Xueji pouted and turned away, seeing that she was unwilling to speak, Ling Qiufan had no choice but to accompany her and limped back to the house.

--------

It's night, in the eunuch's house

A lamp like a bean.

Ling Qiufan poured some new tea into the cup, and handed it to his father, "Daddy, don't worry too much, I've already treated my sister's wound, and she's already asleep."

Ling Jiang took the tea from his daughter, lifted the lid of the tea and put it on the table in front of him, sighing heavily.It is as dark and heavy as the distant mountains seen when crossing the cold river at night.

Hearing this sigh, Ling Qiufan's heart also sank, she pursed her lips and a tear mole stood out under the dim yellow candle, "Daddy, there are some things my daughter can't figure out no matter how much I think about it these days, Daddy Can you explain to my daughter?"

Ling Jiang looked at Ling Qiufan and sighed again.His daughter is quite talented as a mother.Knowing ten thousand characters at the age of five, reciting poems and books at the age of seven, composing Fu at twelve, and commenting on history books at sixteen.When the marriage was bestowed, his youngest daughter, Xueji, was crying and fussing and ran to Gusu Temple Street to vent her anger, causing a lot of trouble.But Qiu Fan was not in a hurry, and after asking repeatedly for confirmation, he went back to the room and prepared without a single complaint.When her younger sister got into trouble, she would deal with it, and when she fell ill from anger, she would seek medical treatment and medicine. During that time, the affairs increased in vain, so she helped to deal with the affairs of the mansion to relieve her worries.Such an outstanding daughter should have a bright future and a beloved man who loves her, but because of an imperial decree, she has to give up everything and marry far away in the capital.Just ask yourself how can you not be heartbroken!

He nodded weakly, motioning for her to speak.

Ling Qiufan got straight to the point and said: "Daughter wants to know why the emperor gave us two sisters to Qu Shangshu and General Wei."

In the Great Xia Dynasty, anyone who is capable, regardless of gender, can be appointed as a marquis and worship general, and have three wives and four concubines.However, due to the excessive oppression of the previous dynasty, there are still not many women with outstanding abilities who are willing to show their faces and become marquises, and because of the influence of the previous dynasty, there is a customary situation in Daxia: as long as it is a family with some status, it will not marry its daughter. A woman is a wife.Those women who want to marry a wife will not shamelessly ask some big families to marry a daughter-in-law.

So Ling Qiufan has always been very puzzled, why did the emperor bestow Qiqi, the two daughters of the dignified prefect of Wu County, as wives to the woman?

Hearing this, Ling Jiang was not as nervous as Ling Qiufan, but relaxed a bit, he shook his head and said with a smile: "The emperor's mind has been like this since ancient times."

Sitting down slowly next to his father, Ling Qiufan listened carefully to his father's explanation of the reason for the marriage.

"At the time of fainting on the ninth day of February, Qu Quan, Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and Wei Yueyan, General of the Twelve Guards, entered the palace at the same time to seek an audience with the emperor. They said they were at the same time, but they did not have much contact with each other. The two have been fighting for many years, but they have a tacit understanding because of their disagreement, not only did they choose the same time for the secret recital, but also the content of the secret recital."

At that time, Qu Quan and Wei Yueyan listed each other's various crimes in the secret memorial.Qu Quan told Wei Yueyan that the master of Yan Gong was so high that the army only recognized the Wei family army, and even violated the emperor's order three times, and the emperor had already despised him.Wei Yueyan sued Qu Quan for forming a party and arbitrarily using his power, which is simply to disturb the court and he will be punished.And both of them said that the other party can't get rid of it immediately, they must first break their wings, silence their throats, wait for their arrogance to weaken, and then find a way to uproot them.The most hilarious thing is that the two of them have surprisingly consistent ideas for the emperor——

marry a wife.

"It is said that Wei Yueyan was fatally wounded by an arrow during the battle in the northwest, and the morale of the entire army was low. In the end, she forced her lieutenant to agree to take the gun and mount the horse at the risk of her wound tearing and bleeding at any time. This boosted the morale. This shows how much prestige Wei Yueyan has in the army. And Qu Quan's achievements in politics are outstanding and smooth, and even the celebrities around the emperor respect her three points. In order to thoroughly investigate the old case of Yushitai, she I have entered and exited the palace gate several times, and no one has blocked me. The emperor is walking inside the palace gate, as if walking at home, how can people not be afraid."

These two "rebellious ministers and thieves" emperors naturally wanted to take the opportunity to suppress them, but they couldn't favor one side and make the court unbalanced.It just so happened that the two of them wanted to die together, so they went along with the flow and made plans, and each of them had a wife, and everyone was happy.

As for this candidate, it became a problem.
