Red bean date cake, lotus root flour osmanthus cake, and Tong's favorite five-spice beans. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 After info, Tong Fang also served a glass of freshly squeezed apple juice.

Tong Shi was not pretentious, took a big sip of apple juice, and then said with a smile: "The princess is really thoughtful in hospitality. "She usually goes to other houses as guests, and she always brings tea. But she doesn't like tea, but likes sweet, sour, spicy and other things.

Tong Fang said with a smile: "The princess is very thoughtful in everything she does. Sister, Weiqi's matter is solved?" If it hadn't been resolved, her sister's expression would not have been so relaxed.

Tong nodded and said, "Well, it's solved, Wei Qi saw her true face clearly." However, the kid said that the Niu family had a good fight with him, so that he wanted to find a good family for her, and gave her another 10,000 taels of silver to marry. ”

"It's understandable to find a good family for the Niu family, but it's too much to give 10,000 taels of silver to marry?"

Tong said: "He can come to his senses, don't say 10,000 taels, even 100,000 taels, I will make it up for him." ”

Tong Fang frowned and said, "Sister, your idea is not right. Wei Qi didn't take half a penny home and gave out 10,000 taels, this money didn't fall from the sky, but his brother-in-law earned it with his life. ”

Tong said with a smile: "Your brother-in-law will definitely not have an opinion." ”

Tong Fang said helplessly: "Sister, it's not about money, it's about Weiqi's idea." He eats for himself and uses yours, and on the basis of his export it is ten thousand taels of silver. Sister, you can't indulge him. ”

If someone else said this, Tong would probably not care. But Tong Fang's words, she hesitated: "Ah Fang, it's not that serious, right?"

Tong Fang said: "Sister, the big county lord not only didn't take any more money from the mansion two years ago, but handed over the money. Originally, she still wanted to hand over the spoils to the public school, but the princess said that she would keep it because she was saving a dowry for herself. Do you think that the prince and the princess lack the little bit of the big princess?"

"I heard that the big county lords are very frugal on weekdays and don't spend lavishly. didn't know that the big county lord actually handed over Yulu. "The party chat said yes, but it was just a short gossip about the east and west families. And the Ming Wangfu is naturally the number one object of discussion.

Tong Fang said: "That's because the lord of the county and the prince know that the prince and the princess often worry about money, so they develop a good habit of thrift and thrift." ”

Tong Shi understood that Tong Fang thought that Wei Qi would not understand the hard work of her and her husband.

Tong Fang said: "Sister, you have to let Weiqi know that your brother-in-law's little money is earned by your brother-in-law's life, and it is not easy for you to take care of housework at home." After a pause, Tong Fang said: "Only when children know the hardships of adults, will they feel sorry for their parents." ”

As he was talking, he heard Banxia calling the princess. The two sisters immediately stood up and walked to the door to greet Yuxi.

Glancing at Tong's family, Yuxi said with a smile: "Good complexion, everything is settled?"

"It's settled, I'll go to Tang's house tomorrow to discuss the marriage date. "Knowing that Yuxi is busy, I won't talk about the process, saving Yuxi's precious time.

Yuxi smiled and said, "It's good to solve it, so that you can't eat and sleep." ”

Banxia brought a glass of warm boiled water, put it on the table next to Yuxi, and then stepped aside.

Knowing that the Tong family was going to set the marriage for the first month of next year, Yuxi asked with a smile: "Wei Qi is married, do you want Cui Mo to come back?" Cui Mo went to fight with Liu Yongnan, if he didn't specifically order him to come back, Cui Weiqi would definitely not come back.

Tong hesitated, and finally shook his head firmly: "You can't delay his business." "Chang Shi will definitely help by then, and he will be busy.

"It's good to become a parent, and it's good to settle down. I originally wanted to marry the jujube in March next year, but the prince disagreed, saying that it would not be too late to have a happy event the year after tomorrow. "Zao Zao will get married the year after tomorrow, and Liu'er's marriage will definitely be delayed for a year.

"This is the prince's love for the lord of the county, and my family Weiqi is also afraid that he will be too hasty and wronged Xiaomei, and wants to get married again at the end of next year. I'm afraid of long nights and dreams, but I still want to set the marriage for the first month of next year. "She was really scared of Niu's affairs.

Yuxi can understand very well: "When you are a father and mother, you have an endless heart." ”

The two chatted for a while, and Meilan walked in from outside and said, "Princess, the prince asked you to go back and said that there was something to discuss." ”

On the way back, Tong leaned on the pillow and said: "Fortunately, I only gave birth to two, if I gave birth to six like the princess, I am afraid that one life would have been lost long ago." "Don't talk about the tossing power of the big county lord, the triplets are also the ones who can cause trouble. Fortunately, the princess is strong enough to control several sisters and brothers, and it is impossible to replace her.

"Although the Grand Princess, the Second Highness, and a few of them are particularly capable of tossing, they are all excellent. Although Yunqing thinks that Brother Xuan is cowardly, he is actually very good in the eyes of outsiders.

Tong said with a smile: "This is also the princess's ability, which we can't learn." ”

When Yuxi went to the study, he saw Tang Chengye alone. Seeing Yun Qing's calm face, Yuxi asked, "What's the matter?" Ordinary things, Yun Qing's face would not be so ugly.

Tang Chengye bowed down and said: "Zhang Liguo's case has been investigated by Lord Yuan, Zhang Liguo was wronged, and the testimony of arsenic and Xiaowu is false. ”

Yun Qing said with a dark face: "There is such a thing with a human face and a beast's heart. After speaking, Yun Qing said to Yuxi: "Fortunately, you think that this case is wrong and let Yuan Bilin retry it, otherwise this scumbag will succeed." ”

Yuxi walked over and picked up the file sent back by Yuan Bilin from the table. After reading it, Yuxi couldn't help but sigh: "The forest is big, there are really all kinds of birds." ”

As Yuxi expected, Zhang Liguo was wronged, and it was Zhang's father who wronged him. Zhang's father has a childhood sweetheart, Leng's lover, but Leng's family is in the middle of the road and his parents are dead, and the relationship between the two cannot be recognized by Zhang's family. Due to the majesty of his parents, Zhang's father had no choice but to marry Zhang Liguo's mother. A month after getting married, Zhang's father went on a study tour, which lasted for three years. When he returned, he found out that he had become a father.

Because of having a son, Zhang's father's attitude towards Zhang's mother has improved. But it didn't take long for the Leng family, who had died of her husband, to find him. At that time, Zhang's mother's brother was a county magistrate in the county, and he was afraid that his parents would beat him again, and he was afraid that Zhang's mother would find out, so Zhang's father hid the Leng family in a relatively hidden place. This collection is ten years. Two years ago, the two elders of the Zhang family passed away one after another, and at the beginning of the year, Zhang's mother's brother had an accident and died. Zhang's father didn't want to wronged the Leng family anymore, so he moved his hands and feet in Zhang's mother's tonic. Afraid that Zhang Liguo would know the cause of Zhang's mother's death and take revenge, and listen to the instigation of the Leng family to think that Zhang Liguo was not his son, he would take the first step to get rid of Zhang Liguo. Therefore, a piece of paper was reported to the county office.

The county order received the case, found out that the human and material evidence was complete, and sentenced Zhang Liguo to death.

Yun Qing asked Tang Chengye with a dark face: "This case has passed through the hands of so many people, and none of them can see that there is something strange about the case?" Among these people, including Tang Chengye, the secretary of the Criminal Department.

Tang Chengye was also very simple, knelt on the ground and said: "The minister failed to investigate, and begged the prince and princess to confess." ”

This is not something that can be passed by admitting guilt, Yunqing took Tang Chengye's criminal department book and asked him to go home and reflect.

Tang Chengye felt very wronged, although he had neglected his duties, but the punishment was too heavy. But when he looked up and saw that Yuxi didn't say a word, he knew that Yuxi was also angry. Immediately, he didn't dare to say another word, and retreated.

Yun Qing was annoyed: "So many officials are all eating dry food. "This case, at first glance, is not quite right.

Yuxi was not angry, and said: "Father Zhang handed the case to the yamen, if he finds out that the poison was Zhang Liguo, and directly beats Zhang Liguo to death in the name of unfilial piety, I am afraid that the yamen will not ask." "If Zhang Liguo dies like that, he will die in vain, and no one will care.

Yunqing knew that what Yuxi said was the truth: "But now that the scum has handed over the case, so many officials have not found anything strange about this case." This shows how incompetent the officials below are. ”

Yuxi shook his head with a smile and said, "It's not that the officials are incompetent, it's that they don't want to dig deeper." Without waiting for Yunqing to ask again, Yuxi said: "When I was about to ask Yuan Bilin to retry this case, Tang Chengye said a word. He said that if the king wants his son, the minister must die, and if the father wants the son to die, the son must die. "It is precisely because everyone has this idea that they know that there is a problem with this case, but they all turn a blind eye to it.

"Fart. Yun Qing was so angry that he said violently: "Although the life is given by the parents, where do they have the right to deprive the child of his life." "As for saying that the king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die, which is even more for a rebel.

Yuxi agreed with this: "If parents have the power to kill their children, then what do you want the law to do?" Yuxi is ready to use Zhang Liguo's case to rectify this unhealthy trend. Filial piety is to be promoted, but those vicious parents should not be allowed to harm their children in the name of filial piety.

Yunqing knew what Yuxi was thinking, and he agreed very much.

It's a pity that Tan Tuo doesn't agree with Yunqing and Yuxi's thoughts: "Prince, princess, filial piety comes first, this is what Sage Kong said, and it must not be violated." ”

What Yunqing hates the most is that the minister opens his mouth and Confucius closes his mouth Mencius, is it that these great sages are not wrong. However, Yunqing knew that he couldn't argue with these Wenchen, so he didn't answer, but looked at Yuxi.

Yuxi said expressionlessly: "It's true that filial piety comes first, but Sage Kong didn't advocate foolishness and filial piety. Lord Tan, what would you do if this happened to you?"

Tan Tuo was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and said, "Princess, my father has long been an ancient man. ”

Yuxi said with a faint expression: "Lord Tan, parents are kind, and children naturally must be filial, but if parents are unkind, children can also be unfilial." ”

When Tan Tuo heard this, he suddenly remembered the article written by Han Jingyan to crusade against the princess, and immediately understood why the princess had such an attitude: "Princess, the old minister is afraid that this will cause a bad impact. All dynasties have ruled the world with filial piety, and the prince and the princess do this, and I am worried that it will shake the foundation. ”

Yunqing felt that Tan Tuo was alarmist, but he didn't know how to refute Tan Tuo.

Yuxi said lightly: "The fall of every dynasty is because of the faint king. I have never heard of the fall of a dynasty because the emperor was unfilial. ”

In terms of eloquence, Yuxi is no worse than anyone else.

Seeing Yun Qing's look of approval, Tan Tuo knew that it was useless to say more. didn't say anything, Tan Tuo talked about the actual problem: "Lord, princess, who do you think will take over as the secretary of the criminal department?" Tang Chengye went down, and someone must come up.

Yunqing said: "Let Yuan Bilin go on top!"

Tan Tuo disagreed and said: "Lord Yuan is a master in trying cases, but he is not qualified for the post of secretary of the Criminal Department. "Tan Tuo is talking about this matter, not that he has a personal vendetta with Yuan Bilin.

Yuxi waved his hand and said, "I already have a candidate for the secretary of the Criminal Department." ”

Tan Tuo saw that Yuxi didn't say who it was, and he didn't ask, so he would naturally tell him when he should tell him. But if you take the initiative to ask, the nature is different. Tan Tuo still has this bit of proportion.

The three of them talked about moving the capital again, and it was time for lunch before Tan Tuo went out. He did not go back to his own house, but had lunch in the palace.

Yuxi and Yunqing went back to the backyard, talking as they walked. Yun Qing asked, "Who do you like in the Criminal Department Shangshu?"

"My eldest brother. "When the capital is moved, Han Jianming will definitely be transferred back to Beijing, and he will be vacated by the lack of Shangshu of the Criminal Department. As for Tang Chengye, Yuxi decided to demote him to the left waiter of the Criminal Department. If he behaves well, let him out.

Yun Qing hummed and said, "The eldest brother is proficient in the law, so it is only fitting for him to be the secretary of the Criminal Department." "Before going to Jiangnan, Han Jianming was in charge of this part.

Tang Chengye has the ability, but he is too conformist, Yuxi is not very easy to use, even if there is no Zhang Liguo, she will transfer Tang Chengye from this position. And Han Jianming has always been able to think about what she thinks, and the brother and sister also have a tacit understanding, and when Han Jianming comes back, she can save a lot of things.

"I have no opinion on letting my eldest brother be qualified for the position of secretary of the Criminal Department, but you can't interfere in the affairs of the Han family. "Han Jianming's ability to do things is very strong, which Yunqing agrees with. But she really can't look at women's eyes.

Mentioning this, Yuxi was also speechless: "Even if you marry a girl from a eunuch family, it is better than Xiang's." It's a pity that Han Jianming didn't take her advice.

Yun Qing really didn't know about this: "You already saw that the Xiang family was not a proper one?"

"I'm not a god, how can I be a prophet. At that time, I was worried that with Xiang's background, I would marry into the Han Mansion and be the housewife, I was afraid that I would not be able to adapt to it. "To be the housemother of the Han family, you not only have to serve a good mother-in-law to teach your stepchildren, but also have to socialize and interact with others. Xiang's background is low, and he has definitely not been exposed to these things before, so it is difficult to deal with these things for a while. It's okay if someone teaches, but her mother is in charge, so she can only rely on Xiang's own exploration. However, Han Jianming wrote back and said that Xiang was a smart person, and these things would definitely be learned quickly, so Yuxi would not say more.

Yunqing said: "It turns out that your concerns are right. "Xiang, the head of the house, is not competent.

Yuxi shook his head and said, "The Zhong family is much stronger than the Xiang family in terms of background and ability. The fight between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is afraid that it will be indispensable at that time. "Xiang has crossed his father to take charge of the family's affairs, which shows that he is very strong. How can such a person be willing to hand over the middle feed to his daughter-in-law.

Yunqing hurriedly said: "Don't worry about the housework of the Han family, you have to manage it too much, and it is also annoying." ”

Yuxi said with a smile: "Now that everything is in ruins, how can I have time to take care of their affairs." ”
