Chapter 17: The Dust Settles
Sure enough, the emperor then said coldly, "You really deserve to be punished together, and see what the good son you have taught has done." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info not to mention that it was the eldest princess's personal guard, even if it was an ordinary woman, he shouldn't be so abusive, it was no different from the city's Jin Splash, it really disgraced the face of the Dajing nobles. ”
Cao Guogong listened to the emperor scolding Cao Jun mercilessly, with a panicked look on his face, but he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it seems that the emperor still doesn't know that Cao Jun stole the beam and changed the pillar into the palace. But at the same time, he wondered why Su Jin looked like he was facing a great enemy, but the companion was like a tiger, maybe Su Jin had something else wrong, and it was important to pass the current hurdle.
Thinking of this, Cao Yuan hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is angry, it is the ministers who teach the son no way, no matter how Your Majesty punishes the ministers today, there is no complaint, and please take care of the dragon body, don't be angry for this rebel." Cao Guogong's words were extremely reasonable, but he didn't know that what he wanted to hide had already been exposed to everyone.
The emperor was unmoved by Cao Yuan's words, but turned his face to look at Cao Jun and sneered and said, "Okay, you Cao Jun, a small third-class guard dares to offend the dignified eldest princess, who gave you the guts, huh?" Cao Jun listened to the emperor's questioning, and suddenly stood there, shouting wronged, he was just scolding a personal guard, how could he be involved with offending Her Royal Highness the eldest princess?
The prince on the side saw Cao Jun's face full of incomprehension, and couldn't help but scold: "Are you still wronged? The women's personal guard team was formed with the permission of the eldest princess by the emperor, and you are insulting and contemptuous, you are insulting the eldest princess and contempt for the emperor's grace, you are really bold!"
Su Qingyuan, who was on the side, couldn't help but shake his head when he saw that Cao Jun looked stupid and half-incomprehensible, looking at the brains of this father and son, it simply tarnished the reputation of the previous two Cao Guogongs, and I am afraid that after today, there will be no more Cao Guogong Mansion in Dajing!
Cao Jun only understood after listening to the prince's words, which showed how stupid he was, but it was too late to understand at this time, so he had to keep kowtowing and begging for mercy. "Your Majesty, the little one doesn't mean that, even if you give the little 10,000 cowards, you will never dare to insult Her Royal Highness the eldest princess. ”
Cao Guogong saw that he was talking about Cao Jun's insult to the guards at the moment, and he was relieved for a while, it seems that the emperor still doesn't know about Cao Jun's sneaking into the palace to join the palace, and now he just needs to pass the current level. But at the same time, he also wondered in his heart, since the emperor didn't know about this, then why did Su Jin look like he was facing a great enemy? But the companion is like a tiger, maybe he made a mistake somewhere else, now let's think about the current matter!
Su Jin's mood at this time is unknown to others, but he knows it himself, it seems that the emperor has been prepared, but he just doesn't know how much the emperor knows? No matter how much the emperor knows, he doesn't want to leave the palace today, the most important thing now is how to pick himself up unnoticed.
Su Jin was already preparing how to explain to the emperor, and Cao Yuan didn't know that the catastrophe was coming.
The emperor ignored Cao Jun's pleas for mercy and continued to ask, "Let me ask you, is this how you behaved in the army? How could the palace elect you to serve in the palace? In what year did you join the army, and what year did you enter the palace?"
When Cao Jun heard the emperor ask, he was a little panicked, but when he thought of what his father had said, everything had been taken care of, he couldn't help but feel a little more confident in his heart: "Back to Your Majesty, the younger one is the army that joined Jingde in February of the sixteenth year, and he joined the post in the summer of the eighteenth year." ”
When the emperor heard Cao Jun say this, he instructed Wang An, the chief eunuch on the side, to bring over the file book of the palace guards. Wang An respectfully presented the booklet with both hands, he had already guessed that the emperor would use it, and he had ordered someone to get it just now.
The emperor opened the booklet page by page, and sure enough, he saw that the page that recorded Cao Jun was the same as Cao Jun's.
Cao Yuan, who was kneeling below, lifted his heart since the emperor asked Cao Jun when he joined the army, he faintly felt that today's matter was not so simple, the emperor must have known something, sure enough, after the emperor read the roster, his face changed greatly, and he smashed the book on Cao Jun's head, and at the same time the emperor's angry shout came, "What a Cao Jun, you still dare to deceive Yu Zhen, don't you recruit it quickly!"
The cover of the register was made of special paper, as hard as a thin wooden board, and the emperor smashed it in his rage, and immediately smashed a hole in Cao Jun's forehead, and the blood was left along the forehead. But Cao Jun didn't dare to wipe it, and was so frightened by the emperor's appearance at this time that he only knew how to kneel and beg for mercy.
Cao Yuan didn't dare to speak easily, he had obviously checked the matter of Cao Jun up and down, and the man also called the package ticket and said that there was no problem, but the emperor looked like today, he obviously already knew, what went wrong?
Cao Yuan was still thinking about it, but the emperor suddenly asked him, "Cao Yuan, what do you have to say?"
Cao Yuan was taken aback by the emperor's sudden question, but he still reluctantly replied calmly, "Back to Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't know what Your Majesty means!" Now the only way is to die and not admit it, he thinks that everything he has done is perfect, others cannot know, and the emperor may just guess, and now he just wants to deceive him.
Seeing that Cao Yuan still thought that he could escape, the emperor couldn't help but sneer, "Li Guangmin, you can talk about it." ”
One of the ministers stood up and knelt down beside Cao Yuan, and said loudly, "Back to Your Majesty, Weichen's wife took the minister's two daughters back to Jiangnan half a year ago to visit her mother-in-law. Moreover, Weichen's little daughter heard that this Cao Jun was a well-known gentleman in the local area of Jiangnan, and many girls from ordinary people's families had been insulted by him, but no one could do anything about him because of his identity. ”
Cao Jun couldn't help but be stupid when he heard this Lord Li's words, he knew in his heart what he looked like in Jiangnan, he thought that Jiangnan and the capital were thousands of miles apart, and no one would know about him, but now he was poked out by someone who couldn't die, how can he be good now?
The emperor waved his hand to let Li Guangmin retreat, and then said to Cao Jun and his son, "What else do you have to say now?"
Cao Yuan was completely stunned at this moment, he didn't expect that the matter would happen so soon, and now only by honestly explaining can he save his life.
"Your Majesty, everything is my father's idea, I don't know, my lord, your majesty, you can spare me!" Cao Yuan hadn't figured out how to speak, Cao Jun had already begun to shout, but he didn't find that at this time, he would actually push everything to Cao Yuan. Cao Yuan didn't expect that his son, who had grown up in the palm of his hand, would do such a thing, and pointed at Cao Junleng for a while. Maybe it was because the blows were too big one after another, and I rolled my eyes and fainted.
Seeing that Cao Yuan fainted, the emperor didn't want to pay attention to Cao Jun anymore, and directly ordered "Cao Jun despises the emperor's grace and is suspected of buying and selling official positions, and Cao Guogong is also suspicious. ”
Immediately, a guard escorted Cao Yuan's father and son down, and the emperor glanced at Su Jin, and said in Su Jin's panic, "Uncle Zhongyong's poor supervision has led to some of his subordinates being suspected of buying and selling official positions, and they will be fined for one year, and they will no longer command the palace guards from today onwards, and they will think about it behind closed doors for three months." ”
Su Jin hurriedly knelt down and thanked him, the emperor's punishment was not heavy, but it was much better than he expected, so he only had to accept it.
Everything that should be dealt with has been dealt with, the emperor announced that they had all dispersed and left first, and the ministers also left one after another after the queen and the queen mother and others left, thinking differently, but thinking about the same thing.
Su Qingluan also got up to leave, and slowly drove towards the outside of the palace with her personal guard of more than 200 people. Out of the palace gate, Su Qingyu was already waiting at the palace gate.
Picking up the curtain on the car window, Su Qingluan and Su Qingyu looked at each other and smiled, then put down the curtain and sat quietly in the car, vaguely hearing the sound of horses' hooves and following the carriage, Su Qingluan curled the corners of his lips, with a warm smile on his face.
Not long after, the group came to the eldest princess's mansion, from today on, their guards will live with Su Qingluan, personal guards, if they don't follow the master, what are they called guards? Most of them came from some remote places in Dajing, and they had never seen such a large mansion since they were born.
Out of the palace, of course, which had just left.
Usually, when Su Qingluan went to see them in the barracks, he always ate with them in the same pot and never put up a shelf, so when they arrived at the eldest princess's mansion, they were completely different from in the palace, and they chatted outside the mansion gate for a long time.
At this time, two pretty girls came out of the house, one in a pink dress and the other in a water green dress, the one in the water green dress was taller and looked gentle and intelligent, and the girl in the pink dress looked delicate and lovely. The two of them came out of the gate and went straight to Su Qingluan's carriage, and when they arrived in front of the carriage, they bowed to Su Qingyu, who had just turned over from the horse, "I've seen the Nine Emperors." ”
Su Qingyu raised his hand to let them get up without care, and Su Qingluan in the carriage immediately lifted the curtain on the window of the carriage to look out when he heard the voices of the two.
When the two girls saw Su Qingluan's face peeking out of the car window, they immediately smiled and said, "The slave has seen the princess." ”
Su Qingluan saw that it was really them, and immediately got out of the car, and the girl in the aqua green dress had already gotten into the carriage to open the curtain for her. Su Qingluan bent down and got out of the carriage, and the girl in the pink dress immediately went to help her. Su Qingluan saw that the two maids who had been separated for more than a year were also full of surprise, they hadn't seen each other for more than a year, and the two girls had darkened a lot, so they must have suffered hardship.
"When did you two come back?" Su Qingluan really didn't expect the two of them to come back so soon, when the queen mother punished them to go to Jiangbei for two years, and now they came back early in half a year, presumably someone went to plead with the queen mother.
"The slaves and maids don't know, half a month ago, the queen mother suddenly sent someone to Jiangbei to pick up the slaves and maids, and the slaves and maids thought that the princess had gone to intercede for the slaves!"
Turning around, Su Qingluan looked at the person who would stand within three feet of him at any time, and he could touch it as soon as he stretched out his hand, "Thank you." ”
The corners of Su Qingyu's mouth rose slightly, and he didn't answer her, as long as she could be happy, he could do anything for her with all his might. Looking at the smile on her face, it was the first time she had been so happy since the man left, a smile from the heart.
She looks good like this.
