Xu Miaoyi's words were like throwing a bomb at Emperor Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang had a splitting headache, his face was stiff and pale, and he was blocked and speechless for a while.

This can be regarded as admitting, Zhu Yuanzhang is really weak-hearted! When the goal was achieved, Xu Miaoyi stopped and said: "The courtiers are reckless, these words should not be spoken, after all, it is for the monarch, for the elderly, and for the venerable." You are the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the Supreme of the Ninety-Five, you have to take care of the lives of tens of millions of people in the Ming Dynasty, whether it is the Xie family or Xie Zaixing, it is estimated that you don't remember their appearance, but for the courtiers, they are mothers, grandfathers, and family members whose blood is thicker than water, and the courtiers cannot sit idly by and ignore their deaths and grievances. ”

"The courtiers watched them die in front of them, recalling the past one by one, the courtiers seemed to be living in a fog, the courtiers couldn't see the reverse clearly, couldn't distinguish between good and evil, loyal and traitorous, hit their heads several times, and almost lost their lives, the fog did not disperse for a day, and the courtiers couldn't get out for a day, and they were trapped here forever, and they couldn't be at peace."

After a moment of tough temptation, Xu Miaoyi looked confused and said that she was also a victim.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the girl kneeling at the bottom of the stairs with tears in her eyes, confused and helpless, and finally didn't order someone to drag her out and cut her, but said coldly: "You have repeatedly committed crimes knowingly, disobeyed the king's orders, angered Long Yan, so bold!" Do you think I won't dare to punish you? ”

Xu Miaoyi said: "The courtiers are insignificant, the emperor will beat if he wants to beat, and he will be punished if he wants to be punished." ”

But Zhu Yuanzhang really can't do anything to Xu Miaoyi, as a king, he should be tolerant, not to mention that there are no outsiders, no one outside knows that Xu Miaoyi dares to question the emperor in person, and Zhu Yuanzhang's monarchy is not damaged.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang did not intend to let Xu Miaoyi go easily, he asked Huang Yan to call in Xu Da, the Duke of Wei, who was waiting outside.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "If the adopted son doesn't teach, the father's fault is also." Your daughter is a little stubborn, take it back and raise her as a daughter. I heard that you raised her as half a son? That's what makes it wrong for you to be a father. ”

"Since ancient times, men have been farming and women weaving, men are outside, women are inside, we must obey the principles of heaven, and we must not reverse male and female. She will marry and have children in the future, teach her husband and children, dance with guns and sticks all day long, and take risks in the bloody rain, is it the way to be a woman? ”

Xu Da saw that Long Yan was displeased, his face was stiff and pale, as if he had just been angry, so he naturally didn't dare to disobey the emperor's anger, and bowed his head and said, "Yes." Weichen spoiled his daughter too much, and he must raise her well when he goes back. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "I also raise daughters, I also love daughters, give preferential treatment to the royal princesses, I want the stars not to give the moon, but the princess is favored, but you can see that the princess of mine dares to play petty and has to participate in state affairs?" The case of Xie Zaixing back then, and the death of the current adult, Lord Liu, has long been not a personal grudge between your daughter and the people behind the scenes, but a royal case related to the country. ”

"I only ordered Jinyi Wei to investigate this case thoroughly, even the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, etc. are not allowed to intervene, and even you, the Duke of Yipin, cannot intervene, but your daughter frequently intervenes in this case. I don't care about her because she is young and ignorant, and I have saved me and the queen before, but from now on, I don't want to see her wandering around again. ”

Hearing this, Xu Miaoyi was anxious and said: "Your Majesty, the courtiers did not deliberately intervene in this case, the courtiers just assisted in solving the case and did their best." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "You are still quibbling! How did Nian die? If you hadn't been good at asserting and talking to Nian in private, Nian would have laid fault with you? If you do your duty as the eldest lady, and the young man has his own brocade guard to investigate from the secret, the young man may be able to recruit the mastermind behind the scenes and uncover the truth. It was your recklessness and ignorance that broke the clues one by one, and the case reached a dead end again and again. You are always unwilling to let go, do you think that Jinyiwei is incompetent and I don't know people clearly? ”

No matter how tough Xu Miaoyi's temperament is, she also knows that it is not good to tease Zhu Yuanzhang's dragon beard at this time, so she knelt down and said: "The courtiers don't dare!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Xu Miaoyi's obedient kneeling figure, her graceful body shrunk into a ball, trembling slightly like a frightened quail, Zhu Yuanzhang said secretly: It's good to know that you are afraid, if this woman has no royal authority and despises imperial power, even if she is talented and noble, she will never be tolerated!

Seeing that the stubborn daughter finally softened, Xu Da on the side was generous and distressed, and knelt down and said: "It's all Weichen's fault, Weichen didn't protect her well back then, which led to the separation of father and daughter for ten years, and the daughter lived in the folk for ten years, and her temperament was wilder, and Wechen will control her well in the future." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, "It's all up, it's almost the New Year, don't let it happen again, if there is a next time, it will not be spared!" ”

"Thank you, Lord Longne!" Xu Da breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly helped Xu Miaoyi to retreat.

It was snowing heavily, Zhu Di had been waiting outside the hall, and when he saw the father and daughter of the Xu family coming out, although their faces were not good-looking, something big must have happened in it just now, but the father and daughter of the Xu family were able to leave the hall with all their beards and tails, at least it means that the storm has passed, and the father did not treat Xu Miaoyi as well.

Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyi looked at each other, and in front of everyone's eyes, the two tried their best to restrain their thoughts and worries, and looked away from each other.

Xu Miaoyi walked out of the palace with the support of her father, Xu Da unfolded the fox fur, protected her daughter in her arms, tried not to let the wind and snow blow her daughter, sighed in a low voice, and said, "You...... Let's change it from now on. ”

Xu Miaoyi was silent and silent, she understood what this sentence meant, which meant that her father had succumbed to the imperial power and canceled her privilege of "half a son", and in the future, she must be the same as her three younger sisters, from now on, she will guard the boudoir, embroider and read books to pass the time, and then wait for her father to find her a family business, marry out, and look at the four corners of the sky in another mansion, not free. In addition to husband and children, there must be no other ideals and pursuits.

In the huge palace, the snow is flying in the sky, and in the long corridors of the palace, only this pair of father and daughter slowly walked forward, leaving two groups of footprints, one large and one small.

Xu Da said: "Do you remember the day our father and daughter reunited? It was also such a snowy day, I waited in front of the palace in a panic, I heard that the female doctor who delivered the crown princess was very similar to the Xie family back then, I was afraid that what I was waiting for was another liar who was greedy for wealth and wealth, and pretended to be relatives. There was such a girl before, she was a little similar to you, although I intuitively felt that she was not, but that face ...... That similar face is enough. ”

"I didn't give her the title of eldest lady, but I gave her the wealth of the eldest lady. I never saw her, but occasionally watched her play in the garden, knowing that it was just an illusion, but I couldn't help but want to leave this little nothing, until the liar was exposed, and I could not continue to deceive myself, for the sake of her face similar to yours, I gave the liar mother and daughter some silver to settle down and send them out of the garden. ”

"Daughter, I know you think your father is cowardly and cowardly, and he doesn't dare to ask about Xie's family affairs, but it doesn't matter, I don't care about that. I used to be able to deceive myself in order to keep an illusion of nothingness, but now in order to save your life, I don't care what you think of me, you can hate me, hate me, but as long as you live, live it......"

Along the way, Xu Dasu chattered to her daughter, but Xu Miaoyi did not react, maybe it was forbearance, maybe it was tacit obedience, or maybe she was thinking of a way to deal with the dead end......

When the father and daughter finally walked out of the palace and got into their own carriage, Xu Miaoyi, who left her father's arms, suddenly asked: "Father, you used to spend time with the emperor when you were young, how did you get along?" ”

Unexpectedly, when his daughter asked about this, Xu Da was stunned, and then said: "We were childhood friends, at that time, there was almost a famine, and everyone in my family starved to death, and I was forced to be helpless to eat as a bandit." Several of the emperor's sisters and eldest brothers also starved to death, and the emperor became a monk in order to have fewer pairs of chopsticks at home. ”

"Later, we all joined the Ming Sect, reunited in the Red Turban Army, the emperor was elder, smart and open-minded, Chang Yuchun and I both obeyed him, so we worshiped him as the eldest brother and swore to follow him."

Xu Miaoyi said: "Father and King Kaiping, just like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in the Three Kingdoms worship Liu Bei as the eldest brother, Taoyuan three righteousness? So you are called brothers between you? ”

Xu Da said: "Sort of, at that time, Chang Yuchun and I both called the emperor Brother Zhu." ”

Xu Miaoyi said suddenly: "But from today when I am in the Xinuan Pavilion of the palace, I only see the monarch and the minister, but not the brother. ”

couldn't be caught off guard by being stabbed by his daughter, Xu Da's heart tingled slightly, but he quickly comforted himself: My daughter is uncomfortable, let her vent, it's better to be sarcastic than to confront the emperor.

Xu Da said: "This ...... In fact, since the emperor proclaimed himself King Wu and became the overlord of one party, Chang Yuchun and I followed everyone to call the emperor the lord, not the eldest brother. This is also normal, after all, to do great things, you must first be respectful and humble, and replace the previous rules of the rivers and lakes with various government and military orders, otherwise a group of rabble who call brothers and sisters will have been swallowed up long ago. ”

Xu Miaoyi said: "'Princes and generals, rather have a kind'. The ancients did not deceive me, the peasants of Fengyang back then, one day they could ascend the throne as emperors, crowned princes, rich and glorious. It can be seen that where there is a will, there is a way. As long as you work hard, you can always step out of the way. ”

Unexpectedly, he inadvertently stimulated his daughter's fighting spirit, Xu Da hurriedly said: "Daughter, don't think about it, drill the tip of the horns, your arms can't twist your thighs, and your mantis arms block the car, after all, you hit the stone with an egg, and the end is bleak." ”

Xu Miaoyi shook her head and said: "Father misunderstood, since the emperor has issued an edict to me, I am not allowed to pursue it further, if I violate the decree, I am afraid that it will affect my family and friends, I dare not act rashly." You and the emperor used to be brothers, but now they are still trembling and accompanying the king like a tiger, and they dare not disobey at all, not to mention that I am an ordinary courtier. I just thought that there is no endless road, and the more difficult it is, the more I can't give up. ”

Could it be that my daughter has figured it out and really changed from now on? Xu Da was surprised and distressed, patted Xu Miaoyi's shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, when a gust of wind passes, I will allow you to go out to play, and your second brother will be fine, and I want him to accompany you." ”

Xu Miaoyi opened the window of the carriage a small crack, looked at the street scene outside, knocked on the wall of the carriage, and ordered: "Coachman, stop at the next alley." ”

Xu Da grabbed Xu Miaoyi's wrist, "Where are you going?" Do what? ”

"In the next alley, there is a Baicaotang pharmacy opened by Zhu Hu, King of Zhou, and I will be a doctor." Xu Miaoyi said: "Since I can no longer rehabilitate Zhaoxue for the Xie family, I don't have such a thick skin to continue to enjoy the glory and wealth of the Xu family." If I continue to live in Zhan Yuan, every delicious meal and every set of brocade clothes will overwhelm me and deserve it. I'd better go back to my old job as a doctor, self-reliant, coarse tea and light rice, and eat comfortably. ”

Xu Da finally put down his daughter at the mouth of the alley.

In the snow, the porridge was being given at the entrance of Baicaotang, and the beggars waiting for the rice porridge to fill their bellies lined up from the door of the pharmacy to the mouth of the alley, which was completely different from the gorgeous horse-drawn fleet of the Xu family.

Xu Miaoyi entered through the back door of the pharmacy, she listened to the sound of horses' hooves gradually disappearing in the courtyard, suddenly lifted the bamboo ladder and leaned against the courtyard wall, grabbed the ladder and climbed to the wall, stretching out a small head with snow flying all over the sky.

She watched the Xu family's carriage disappear into the snow, and suddenly understood that her father had just told her that she knew that the similar-looking imposter before was a liar and knew that it was an illusion, but she couldn't help but want to leave this little bit of nothingness until the liar was exposed and forced to face reality.

In fact, she and her father are the same kind of person, her father forcibly kept a little illusion for the sake of empty hope, and she ruthlessly found an excuse to leave him in order not to disturb him.

The father-daughter relationship is deep, but unfortunately the fate is too shallow, and after a short period of reconciliation, they will be separated. 166 Reading Network
