The emperor's sharp gaze swept over the officials below, and said slowly, "According to the Zhongqing's family, how should this matter be handled?"

Li Zhengdao seemed to just want to speak, but someone took the lead, it was indeed Dingwang Lian Yufeng, he crossed the crowd and said loudly: "It is rare for Lord Duan to understand the righteousness so well, according to the minister's view, he will hand over this case to Lord Duan to be responsible, and conduct a comprehensive and thorough investigation, the top priority is the Mingjiang River embankment, we must comprehensively survey and reinforce it, to avoid another embankment breaking accident, and then how to deal with the officials involved in the case, I believe that Lord Duan will not show favoritism." ”

Seeing that the emperor seemed to show his approval, all the ministers of the court also echoed it, thinking that it was appropriate for the king to mention yì, and even Li Zhengdao, the provocateur of this matter, couldn't think of any rebuttal for a while, so the matter was decided, and the emperor named Duan Zilang as a messenger and thoroughly investigated the matter.

After the next dynasty, Lian Yufeng refused the invitation of several ministers to have a banquet, and returned to the palace directly, and went straight to the inner courtyard to find Su Yiqing as soon as he returned.

Su Yiqing was stunned for a long time after listening to Lian Yufeng's relay, and asked, "This is your purpose?

Lian Yufeng nodded, "Yes, what I want is not to punish corrupt officials, but to use this incident to repair and strengthen the river embankment, as for how to deal with the corrupt officials, how to deal with it, I don't care too much, if it is a sudden rainstorm, once the river bursts, the loss caused is no less than fighting a big battle, we must take precautions, otherwise once the treasury is empty, some people will have unrealistic ideas." ”

Unrealistic thoughts, Su Yiqing's mind turned, and said, "Are you going to fight?"

"Yes, in many cases, war is also the quickest way to fill the treasury. Lian Yufeng smiled, "Just like a gambler, obviously in debt." If you don't think about making money to pay off your debts, you just want to continue gambling, and if you win, everything will be solved. But I never thought about what would happen if I lost?"

So that's the case, Su Yiqing muttered. I felt a little guilty about my previous thoughts, and said seriously: "I misunderstood you before, I thought you were here to ...... I'm really sorry. ”

Probably even the image that Yufeng gave her on weekdays was not so tall, so that she always felt that he was good at scheming and didn't have much heart for the country and the people, and she was wrong.

"It's okay, it's that I didn't make it clear to you in advance, it's just...... Hope you understand. Some things in the court really can't be said too much in the back house, it's not that I believe it, but it's just that it's a rule. Lian Yufeng looked at Su Yiqing with apologetic eyes.

"I understand. Su Yiqing understood, "There is really no need to talk too much to me about major national events, I just don't have anything to do recently, and I'm just thinking nonsense." ”

Lian Yufeng combed the broken hair on her sideburns, and the husband and wife looked at each other and smiled.

Su Yiqing thought that this matter was over.

But two days later, Mrs. Meng came again, and after drinking tea, she said in a low voice: "Fu'er, this Wenjun Palace's palace has been quite unpeaceful recently. Something will happen to you?"

Su Yiqing smiled casually and said: "Mother said that it was funny, our Dingwang Mansion and Wenjun Wangfu have always had a mediocre relationship, how does their Wangfu have anything to do with our Dingwangfu?"

Madame Meng looked around with some embarrassment. There seems to be something hard to say.

Su Yiqing said: "Mother, let's talk straight, there is nothing taboo for our mother and daughter." ”

Mrs. Meng said: "It's not a big deal, some gossip outside, I don't think these gossips should be said in front of Fu'er so as not to annoy you, but if you don't say it, I'm afraid that you will be kept in the dark...... That's right, I heard that on the day of the full moon wine of the grandson of the Wenjun Palace, you were neglected, saying that the people of the Wenjun Mansion wanted to arrange for you to sit with some ladies who did not have orders. To humiliate you in this way, this is all done by the princess of Wenjun Wang. This princess of Wenjun has always pretended to be noble and looked down on ...... The daughter-in-law of another family. That's why it's like this, and the prince still helped her eldest brother in the court, regardless of his previous suspicions. ”

These words are not untargeted gossip, Su Yiqing frowned, and said, "Mother, where did you hear these words?"

The so-called negligence is just a small contradiction between the women in the house, and it should not be brought to the court, and the people who spread the news obviously have ulterior motives.

"This is what some relatives said when they came to visit the house. Mrs. Meng's eyes flickered a little, because the people who said this matter invariably told her not to tell others that they had said it, and women sometimes had a bad mouth, but there was one thing that had to be observed, and that others had good intentions to tell you and told you not to tell others that she had said it, so you must never say it.

Su Yiqing is also a woman, she is a little clear, and she doesn't ask questions, she just smiles: "These are not nonsense, on the day of the full moon wine in the Wenjun Palace, the seating arrangement was a little chaotic, but it may not be deliberate, these people are really, a little thing is also a big fuss, just a seat, how can it be regarded as slack." ”

"yes, that's what I said. Madame Meng smiled as well, but her face was a little strange, as if she wanted to say something.

Su Yiqing didn't ask, if Mrs. Meng didn't think it was necessary to say it, she didn't want to hear it, and some things could be passed if she didn't know, but unfortunately, Mrs. Meng couldn't help it after all, and said, "Today, a matchmaker came to propose marriage to your sister Yan, right...... The Li family in Dengzhou, that is, the family of Li Yushi in the current dynasty, mentioned Li Yushi's nephew, who has been studying in the capital, and his talent is very good. ”

"Does Mother think this family business is good?" Su Yiqing guessed that if she felt bad, Mrs. Meng would not look like this.

Mrs. Meng nodded and sighed: "If it is another family, this Li family has always been good, and the family rules are strict and do not like to take concubines, especially the concubines, unless the daughter-in-law really has any problems, otherwise they are not allowed to take concubines, they have always had strict requirements for marrying daughters-in-law, family background is secondary, and the character must be good, so there are relatively few dirty things between concubines, and they will not dislike their daughter-in-law because of something in their mother's family." ”

"It's a good guy indeed. Su Yiqing agreed lightly, but she didn't think so, hearing is false, seeing is believing, she doesn't know how the Li family is, but if it is really as good as rumored, their family will not propose to the Meng family, the Meng family is now at the bottom of the list in the capital, and Meng Yan personally is not particularly worthy of their Li family's reputation of condescension, so the reason for the sudden proposal is very intriguing.

I have to say that not being able to take a concubine is really enough to make ancient women crazy, Mrs. Meng is not a brainless person, she must also know that there is something strange, but she is still moved, thinking about it, she thinks that no matter what the reason, as long as her daughter marries and the son-in-law does not accept a concubine, her daughter will be happy.

"Fu'er also thinks this family business is good?" Mrs. Meng obviously misunderstood Su Yiqing's meaning, and showed a surprised expression.

Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, Su Yiqing didn't say anything about this matter, but said lightly: "If my mother thinks it's good, it must be good, and my daughter's marriage is naturally decided by her parents." ”

Mrs. Meng said, "It's just that your father is not satisfied, thinking that the Li family's scholarly family does not match our family." ”

"My father's concerns were also justified. Su Yiqing nodded in agreement......

"Fu'er, what do you mean by that?" Madame Meng was a little confused.

Su Yiqing simply didn't beat around the bush, and said frankly: "Mother, you want to ask my opinion, but this is the first time I've heard about the Li family, and I don't know what their son-in-law looks like, what do you want me to say?"

"This ...... Fu'er, can you help me inquire. Mrs. Meng asked expectantly, "We are women in a deep house, and that's all we can hear, my mother knows that this is a bit excessive, can I ask the prince to help inquire, and look at the character and knowledge of this Li Gongzi, I think that the Li family's style is really rare, and it's a pity to miss it." ”

"Does the mother really want her daughter to just help inquire?" asked Su Yiqing.

Mrs. Meng was a little embarrassed and said, "I just think this is really a good family, and it is difficult to find someone with such a good family style if I miss it." ”

"Mother didn't think about why the Li family suddenly proposed to Sister Yan?" Su Yiqing said before Mrs. Meng could speak, "If my mother thinks that this is no problem, then I naturally have nothing to say, as for Li Gongzi's talent, it must be good, but what about the character, forgive my daughter, if you have a good character on the outside, it may not be good for your wife." ”

This Li family's family style is really so good, and they will not have a purposeful desire to marry Meng Yan.

"Fu'er, you are a blessed person, although you were a little rough as a child, but you can meet the prince of Ding to treat you like this, this is what ordinary people say first bitter and then sweet, I don't know if your sister Yan can meet someone who treats her sincerely. Madame Monte sighed with envy.

Su Yiqing pursed her lips and was silent, she did not deny that it was her blessing to meet Lian Yufeng, but this kind of blessing was like walking on thin ice, and this was her blessing and not Meng Xiaofu, the real Meng Xiaofu is now auspicious or vicious, she somewhat understands what Mrs. Meng means, the Meng family is now in decline, and the only person who can handle it may be her princess, but her relationship with her mother's family is not very good, if she goes to marry Meng Yan and expects her to take care of it, it is too whimsical, and all the Li family does not want to use this in-law for a long time.

It must be a short-term effect, what needs to be helped by the wind, while the Meng Ye couple is still alive, use the word filial piety to press, the higher you climb, the more you have to take into account people's words, especially the concubines like her who are recorded in the name of their mother, and they must know how to repay their kindness, and their abacus is very fine.

It seems that Mrs. Meng does not understand this truth, but the conditions of the Li family are too good and the temptation is too great, so it is worth fighting.

After groaning, Su Yiqing said, "Mother just say it, what does the Li family want?"

If it is to push the boat along the river, she doesn't mind helping, the excess is impossible, Mrs. Meng must have been heartbroken for her daughter's family affairs during this time, or not, pretending to be a family is better than those who want to stammer, at least they know shame when they ask for benefits.
