Chapter 44: The Past
Fu Che returned to the Fu Mansion from the palace, and without taking care of the meal, he went to the study with Fu Zhengting to talk about things.
"Che'er, King Ning is back in Beijing today, what are the emperor's plans?"
"Father, the emperor plans to let King Ning write to the court the day after tomorrow and officially start a public and thorough investigation and trial of the case. ”
Fu Zhengting nodded, Chu Tianze's decision was expected by him: "It should be, you have been secretly investigating this matter for so long, and it is time." It's just that the emperor must handle this case strictly this time, because his father is worried that it will be too involved, and the people in the court will be panicked, which will cause unnecessary trouble. ”
"Father, you don't have to worry, the emperor must have thought it through to make this decision. ”
Fu Zhengting smiled with relief, Chu Tianze was his most proud student, and he trusted his ability: "Also, the emperor has never disappointed." Later, he laughed at himself and patted Fu Che on the shoulder: "It seems that my father is old and always too cautious, and the major affairs of the world ultimately depend on you young people." Che'er, the emperor is a rare good monarch, you have to help the emperor well. ”
"Father, don't worry, my son will do his best to share the emperor's worries. ”
Fu Zhengting looked at Fu Che and nodded. Thinking that Fu Che would discuss the matter with him as soon as he came back, he thought that the emperor had something to explain, so he asked, "Did the emperor say that he wanted to do something for his father?"
Fu Che also remembered the matter and replied: "Father, the emperor hopes that you can sit in charge of the Three Law Divisions this time and assist in this case. ”
Fu Zhengting was puzzled: "Taifu's position has nothing to do with the Three Law Divisions, and it seems inappropriate for me to assist in this case." ”
Fu Che explained: "In the early stage of this case, it is naturally handed over to the three law divisions for trial, but you also know that if this case is found later, the three law divisions are all involved, for the sake of fairness and risk avoidance, the three law divisions can no longer be fully responsible, and they need a person with high moral standing and popular support to assist, which is actually supervision." Father, as a Taifu, you are an upright person, and all the officials and people also obey you, you are the most suitable candidate. ”
Fu Zhengting didn't think much about it anymore when he heard this, and bowed to the sky: "The king has an order, and the ministers should not give up!"
"Che'er, the emperor still has ......" Fu Zhengting was about to ask Fu Che if Chu Tianze had anything else to explain, but when he saw Fu Che shaking his head, he looked like he wanted to say something, and wondered: "Che'er, do you have anything else to say." ”
Fu Che came back to his senses and raised his eyes to look at Fu Zhengting, his eyes were a little complicated. Yes, he did have a question to ask. When he saw Guan Guan in the palace, his first reaction was to come back and ask his father for clarification. It's just that the impulse has faded slowly, and after so many years, there is no need for me to delve into the things of the year anymore, right?
Fu Zhengting knows his son well, their father and son have always had something to say, he rarely saw such a tangled look on Fu Che's face, it seemed that something had happened: "Che'er, what's the matter, let's talk about it." ”
Fu Che looked at Fu Zhengting again, hesitated, and finally asked: "Father, my son has a question for you." ”
You ask. ”
Fu Che took a deep breath and tried to make his tone sound as flat as possible: "Back then, you said that the youngest daughter of the official family ......"
The youngest daughter of the official family, Fu Zhengting suddenly understood, too, and the girl of the official family would let this breezy son show such an expression. In fact, Fu Zhengting had expected that Fu Che would ask this question sooner or later, and he would eventually know: "Why did you suddenly mention this matter? It's been so many years......
Fu Che laughed at himself: "I saw Wanwan in the palace today......"
Fu Zhengting was taken aback: "That girl is not ......"
"Yes, she is now the emperor's concubine. ”
Fu Zhengting sighed that the girl had become the emperor's concubine. But he still persuaded rationally: "Che'er, for the sake of my father, I hope you don't make mistakes." ”
"Father, don't worry, I won't do anything. I now have Xijue and two children, and I'm content. It's just, father, I want to know what was going on back then. ”
Fu Zhengting looked at Fu Che, whose expression was still calm at the moment, and understood in his heart that this kid had let go, otherwise he wouldn't have endured to ask until now. Thinking that he always had to make it clear to him, then he made it all clear, and he believed that his son could handle it. Fu Zhengting looked at Fu Che, sighed, and recalled the past: "Back then, you ......"
"So that's ......" Fu Che laughed to himself after listening to the ins and outs.
"Che'er, you can't blame Xijue for this. You have been together for so many years, you should also see what kind of wife he is. If there is a mistake, it is the problem of the father. As a father, I hope you can live a good life with Xijue. ”
"Father, son understands, no one is to blame. Knowing that, Fu Che was calm in his heart at this time, and he really didn't blame anyone.
Fu Che returned to the bedroom, and Wen Xijue leaned on the couch and gently teased the child in his arms.
Seeing Fu Che come back, Wen Xijue said with a happy face: "Brother Che, are you done talking to your father?"
Fu Che nodded, walked over to her and sat down.
Wen Xijue said with concern: "Look at you, you went to the study without taking care of the meal as soon as you came back, are you hungry now, I asked Chu Yun to cook you something to eat?"
Fu Che looked at Wen Xijue and smiled slightly, and nodded in response: "Hmm." Afraid that Wen Xijue would be tired, she took over and hugged the child in her arms.
Wen Xijue was such a delicate and intelligent person, he naturally saw that Fu Cheqing was a little wrong, and said worriedly: "Brother Che, what's wrong with you?
Fu Che thought that he was hiding it well, but he didn't expect to be guessed by his wife at a glance. Glancing at Wen Xijue, she really knows herself, and only those who care about her will bother to understand. Fu Che smiled softly at Wen Xijue and said comfortingly: "It's okay, you don't have to worry." Still in confinement, take good care of your body, don't think too much. ”
Wen Xijue naturally didn't ask any more questions, and nodded. changed the topic, and said a little aggrieved: "Brother Che, Ying'er hasn't seen anyone in the past two days, I don't know what I'm busy with?"
Fu Che heard the grievances in Wen Xijue's tone, and said with a smile: "You, are you still afraid that Ying'er will forget you as a mother?"
Wen Xijue pouted: "He loves to stick to my ...... the most on weekdays"
Fu Che saw that Wen Xijue was really a little lost, and hurriedly explained: "Don't worry, he has been going to school at his father's place for a few days, and he is estimated to be too tired at the beginning and has no strength to come to see you, so it will be fine in a while." You're still weak now, it's better for him to come back to bother you in a while. Ying'er is also five years old, and it is time to start formal learning. ”
Wen Xijue nodded: "Well, I'm just a little unused to it, children have to grow up after all." ”
Fu Che took his wife into his arms lightly, in fact, this is very good, isn't it.
