Jiang Mengzhen said: "The courtiers are guilty, and their hearts are very uneasy, so they have come to ask Your Majesty for their guilt." ”
Since he had a plan, Hao Cheng didn't dare to act without permission to disrupt his plan, so he only lifted the hem of his clothes and knelt behind him.
"What are you guilty of?" The emperor's voice was a little colder, because he was not above the court, the emperor changed into the golden phoenix imperial robe, but even if she was only wearing civilian clothes, the momentum and majesty were extremely amazing.
Hao Cheng was used to it, and felt that the emperor's sense of oppression at this time was too strong, she looked at Jiang Mengzhen worriedly, and suddenly felt that Jiang Mengzhen's face was terrible.
It's just that he straightened his waist more and more, and this strong appearance made people feel pity even more. The emperor was still sitting next to the queen and the queen. Empress Taijun obviously also noticed Jiang Mengzhen's condition, and hurriedly pulled her daughter's sleeve, and said angrily: "Leping is still pregnant, if you have anything to say, you let him get up first." ”
Jiang Mengzhen and Empress Taijun still have a bit of a relationship, but this relationship is not as close as Xiao Bai and Empress Taijun, but yesterday Jiang Mengzhen came to visit, said some words, and gave some gifts, and he said a few good words for him today.
Hao Cheng was stunned for a moment, and reacted that Leping was Jiang Mengzhen's title, although her Zhengjun had no real power, but there was a county lord's title, and the grade was still there.
With the words of the queen prince, the emperor's tone softened a little at the moment, and he said: "Give a seat." ”
Immediately, a palace man moved a cushioned chair to Jiang Mengzhen, and Jiang Mengzhen still knelt without moving: "Before the guilty minister is not forgiven by His Majesty, the criminal minister will not dare to sit." ”
He was so ignorant, the emperor naturally wouldn't force him to sit on it. Jiang Mengzhen didn't talk nonsense much, and tried his best to explain the events of that day as concisely as possible, but he said it really tactfully, trying to show that he was helpless.
But a mistake is a mistake, and after listening to his words, the emperor threw the cup in his hand in his direction: "Presumptuous! ”
Hao Cheng saw that Jiang Mengzhen didn't move, so he hurriedly got up and rushed over, blocking the glass of water for Jiang Mengzhen, fortunately, the emperor has always liked to drink cold, and she was not scalded by the water.
She didn't dare to appease Jiang Mengzhen in front of the emperor, so she only said: "Neizi is fascinated for the sake of the guilty minister, this fault is all caused by the guilty minister, and the criminal minister is willing to bear it with his own strength, and please don't blame Neizi for Your Majesty." ”
The emperor had a cold face, and a layer of frost seemed to be condensed in this huge palace: "Do you think I dare not punish you?" ”
Hao Cheng bent down and nodded her head to the ground, the underwear on her body was already wet with sweat, she kowtowed: "The criminal minister does not dare, the minister is just an ant in the eyes of His Majesty, I only ask Your Majesty to forgive the guilty minister's son and son." ”
Jiang Mengzhen pulled Hao Cheng up and continued: "The reason why the minister dared to do this was precisely because he considered His Majesty's reputation and the majesty of my Jin Kingdom, so he made a decision in vain. ”
"Oh?" The reason why the emperor was angry was because Jiang Mengzhen's behavior was likely to break the ten-year peace agreement between the two countries, and the other reason was that Jiang Mengzhen fooled her. The emperor was most disgusted by the calculations and speculation of others.
It is easy for someone who can figure out her mind to stand firm in the court, but this kind of naked/naked calculation is very disgusting to her. Jiang Mengzhen and Hao Cheng violated her taboo, if it weren't for the Empress Taijun and Empress Jun by her side, she would probably have ordered someone to drag the wife and husband out and behead them immediately.
Jiang Mengzhen did not elaborate directly, but said: "The criminal minister dares to ask Your Majesty, if a woman, for her own interests, ruthlessly leaves her pregnant husband to marry another, and her righteous monarch has not committed the slightest mistake, will Your Majesty still be willing to use this woman?" ”
In fact, among the officials in the capital, there are many who abandon the bad husband for the sake of their careers, but for the sake of fame, they must splash dirty water on the bad husband and wash themselves into a white lotus with a positive image. As an official, the most important thing is reputation, and the law of the Jin Kingdom still punishes those who divorce their husbands for no reason.
The Empress Taijun and the Empress Jun were both looking at the emperor by their side, and the emperor immediately said: "I naturally will not want to use such an unrighteous person." ”
Jiang Mengzhen then asked, "Then what if this woman is persecuted?" ”
The emperor said, "If she is unwilling, who will dare to persecute her?" "Anything that is forced by the pressure of the mother and father at home is all nonsense. It was precisely because the emperor was a woman that she could see it more clearly.
"Then if His Majesty forcibly asks for it, and she wants to save it, do you say it is forced?"
The Emperor said angrily: "Bold! She threw the thing at hand again.
Hao Cheng blocked another cup for Jiang Mengzhen.
Jiang Mengzhen stroked his belly, and his voice was a little sad: "The wife once had a relationship with the prince who never set the moon because of the help of this Dali Temple to investigate the case, she had no intention of the other party, but the prince threatened to ask her to abandon her husband and daughter, and bring the wife back to the moon does not set." Because Weichen was worried, he asked the interpreter, if the prince of the Moon Never Sets Empire Tian was not ashamed, he would dare to help the guilty minister. ”
He was exonerating the interpreter who was doing the work for him, although it was inevitable to say that a living crime was inevitable, but it was a capital crime that could be avoided at all.
He continued: "The child in the courtier's womb is about to be born, and as a father, I can't watch the child without a mother. And her mother will definitely not be happy in a foreign country, and in order to protect the family, the minister is also helpless. The Empress Taijun, His Majesty and the Empress are also mothers and fathers, and they will be able to understand the pain of this separation of flesh and blood. ”
Logically, this is indeed said to be in the past, and it is indeed pitiful to be torn apart alive, after all, they are not at fault at all. The request of the prince of the empire that month did not fall was also a disaster for them.
As men, the queen and the queen are more emotional, and their faces are already moved. Although the emperor was also touched, he was more dissatisfied with Jiang Mengzhen: "If you can't bear the pain of separation of flesh and blood, you can bully the king, wouldn't my Dajin want to mess up." The good girls stationed on the frontier are not also separated from the old fathers, wives and daughters at home, and they have also made sacrifices for the Jin Kingdom, without a country, where is the home from? ! ”
What the emperor said was very reasonable, but Jiang Meng really waited for this sentence: "The soldiers of the frontier are willing to defend our land." If the person resents the present because of the separation, and collaborates with the enemy and treason, it is better not to have such a soldier. Marriage is different from garrisoning the frontier, if Your Majesty wants your wife to agree to the shameless request of the barbarian prince, the wife must have resentment in her heart, if the wife and the prince become a grudge couple, the prince takes the opportunity to attack, isn't it against His Majesty's original intention? ”
The emperor was a little stunned by what he said, but she said: "I see that prince is very beautiful, why are you so sure that your wife will not change her mind?" ”
When she said that the prince was beautiful, the queen on the side turned blue and purple for a while.
Hao Cheng hurriedly stepped forward to mend the knife: "If His Majesty gives marriage, Weichen will not dare to resist the decree." But if the minister is against his will to be with someone he doesn't like, the minister would rather die. ”
The emperor was so angry with her, he didn't get angry but laughed: "You are so not afraid of death, then you will die on the spot to show me!" ”
The queen and queen on the side said soft words for these two people: "They are also a husband and wife, this kind of thing is indeed not easy to force." And when this matter got out, the emperor of the Jin State sold his ministers for the so-called contract, and forcibly broke up a pair of loving wives and husbands, which is really not good. ”
In fact, throughout the ages, most of the relatives have sacrificed the interests of the man's side. If this is the princess of the Empire who does not fall that month and asks them for a minister's beautiful concubine, it will definitely be given out without hesitation.
If it is a man who wants the emperor, as long as she has touched it, she will not give it to someone with a slightly lower status. Now in this situation, what prince wants the wife of the family. Moreover, this wife is married to a husband, and it is definitely impossible for the prince to be a concubine, if he stays. The emperor asked the courtiers to sacrifice and let Jiang Mengzhen be demoted from a husband to a husband, which is reasonable, but the prince wants to take people away, and the courtiers are still reluctant to obey, the scene is really ugly, and it does affect the name of the emperor and the Jin State.
The emperor can actually be considerate of his two courtiers in his heart, but he still can't get over it on his face: "No matter what, this is not a reason for them to deceive me!" ”
Jiang Mengzhen didn't say anything more, but said, "The criminal minister has something to present to His Majesty." ”
As he spoke, he took out a roll of silk cloth from his sleeve, and the female official beside the emperor took it and handed it over.
The emperor reluctantly looked at it, and when he saw it for the second time, his face froze, and only after reading it did the emperor ask him: "Are you really willing to do it?" ”
Jiang Mengzhen glanced at Hao Cheng: "As long as Your Majesty can forgive the ministers and wives, you will naturally be willing." ”
There was finally a smile in the emperor's eyes, but she still didn't show it on her face, and after coughing lightly, she said: "The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped." For the sake of your love for Jin Jian, I will forgive the two of you this time, but I don't want to see the two of you again, and from the next day, Hao Cheng will not have to go to the court, go to Quanzhou. ”
The queen didn't know what the emperor was looking at, but he once accepted Jiang Meng's true love, and pleaded at the moment: "The county lord of Leping is still pregnant, and he can't run around on the road." ”
The emperor disagreed: "Then he will stay in the capital and wait for the child to be born." ”
After Jiang Mengzhen glanced at Taijun, he looked at Hao Cheng again, lowered his head, and stroked his stomach, looking extremely pitiful. Empress Taijun said a few soft words: "I think of a compromise method, if you are not happy to see this Lord Hao, let her take a vacation at home, write a longer letter of appointment, and wait for her child to be full of moon, and then let their family pass, the family should stay together." ”
The emperor got the benefit, and the queen gave him the steps, so he reluctantly agreed, and still knocked on: "If there is a next time, I will never spare it, and I will not thank the queen Taijun!" ”
Jiang Mengzhen said: "Empress Xie Taijun, Empress Xie Jun!" ”
Hao Cheng followed Jiang Mengzhen and repeated the words, she couldn't report on her work in the capital, and she couldn't say that she was too disappointed, as long as the family could stay together, this matter was nothing at all. When she said goodbye, she carefully carried her husband into her carriage.
After the carriage left Miyagi, she couldn't help but ask: "You just showed it to Your Majesty, what is that?" ”
