Aunt Jiang and Jiang Zhen live in a courtyard in the city, although Jiang Wenying was demoted before, but the foundation of the Jiang family is still there, and the Meng family takes care of it, and the courtyard is as usual.

Shen Yu had seen them in a hurry before she got married, and she had been in Duanwang's mansion since then, and this was the first time she had come to visit them. When the mother and daughter of the Jiang family saw Shen Fei, who was already the princess, they inevitably saluted, but when they were done, Jiang Zhen was already full of joy, and took Shen Yan's hand and walked to the inner courtyard, "I really didn't expect that we would all marry in the capital!" ”

"Yes, I thought it was impossible when you were looking forward to it before, who knew that the peak turned around, and it really made you right!"

Every inch of land in the capital is expensive, the Shen family's courtyard is adjacent to the inner city, and it is very expensive, so this inner courtyard is not as spacious as the Jiang Mansion in Luling City, and there is only a three-zhang square pool between the main house and the wing rooms on the east and west sides, and the side means to decorate the small pavilion of the corridor, which is a narrow world by itself.

Shen Yu sat in the pavilion and couldn't help laughing when she saw the red carp swimming happily in the pond, "Cousin still likes to feed the fish idle?" ”

"She feeds all the fish in this pond, comes, and drinks tea." Aunt Jiang handed the teacup to him, it was this year's new tea after the rain, and it was fragrant.

Shen Yu was happy to meet her relatives in another country, but she still remembered the purpose of this trip, "Uncle Jiang is about to enter the cabinet, has my aunt heard about it?" ”

"I heard this rumor, but the holy decree has not yet come out, and I don't dare to believe it."

"It should be a matter of one or two days." Shen Yuping stepped back and said, "Your Highness has a message for me to convey to my aunt, Jiang Ge Lao died unjustly, and my uncle must be unhappy in his heart." His Royal Highness told him to calm down, do his duty well, and never have other thoughts. ”

"I understand what Your Highness means." Aunt Jiang sighed, "Alas, your uncle has a deep relationship with Jiang Ge Lao, and now that he is making such a fuss, it is false to say that he does not hate it in his heart." Since His Royal Highness has this order, when he comes to Beijing, I will naturally convey it, Auntie, I will thank His Royal Highness King Duan on my behalf. ”

"Auntie doesn't have to be polite." Shen Yu used to talk to Aunt Jiang as a junior, but now Aunt Jiang is polite in her words, which makes her feel uncomfortable.

Aunt Jiang also smiled, "What does your uncle's matter matter matter with Your Highness?" The previous ban in Luling City. book, Qin Xiong's several troubles later, His Royal Highness has helped us, and now he is willing to mention it like this, it is naturally for you. But we can't help but be grateful, when your uncle comes to Beijing and finds the right time, we should go and thank you in person. ”

Even if people insist on doing so, Shen Yu is not easy to stop.

After all, she had never been involved in officialdom before, and she didn't know how to deal with it, but now that the Jiang family has this meaning, it is up to Xu Yan to handle it, and she doesn't have to add to the chaos.

After finishing business, the two sisters haven't seen each other for a long time, and it is inevitable that they will talk about themselves.

Jiang Zhen is still the same, except for the big gift when she entered the door, her words and actions are still the same, the two of them sat on the edge of the pool, she sighed, "When I was worried about marriage, you still watched jokes there." Now it's good that you married earlier than me, and I can learn from you. ”

"What do you want to learn? Tell me about it? Shen Fei's face is getting thicker and thicker.

Aunt Jiang next to her always kept in mind Shen Yan's identity, and couldn't help laughing at Jiang Zhen, "Auntie has just gotten married, so you don't want to make trouble." However, he was worried in his heart, "Are you used to things in Duanwang's mansion?" ”

"It's okay in the house, someone can help you, and you can still be satisfied. It's just that I haven't dealt with the palace people and those nobles before, after all, it's troublesome. Shen Yu confessed honestly.

Aunt Jiang also knows her difficulties, after all, she has no background since she was a child, and when she first entered such an occasion, it was inevitable that she would be inconsiderate, so she said: "I think that Mama Kang is very good at doing things that day, you can learn more from her." and wait for Ling'er to come out of confinement, and I can accompany you on some occasions. His Royal Highness King Duan, did you ever ask you to visit the crown princess and Princess Wei? ”

"That's not to say, King Duan likes to be quiet, so I don't have to be restrained."

Aunt Jiang nodded when she heard this, but she didn't say much.

She will take Jiang Zhen to Beijing in advance, so that Jiang Zhen can integrate into the circle of nobles in the capital as soon as possible, and enter Ningyuan Houfu in the future, so that she can handle various relationships. However, Shen Yu is different from Jiang Zhen after all, she is the princess of Duanwang, and with Xu Yan behind her back, she really doesn't have to be as careful as Jiang Hao.

Aunt Jiang was a little envious in her heart, she still felt a pity when Meng Shu was going to marry Luling, who knew that now Shen Yu turned around and became a princess?

The princess and a daughter-in-law of the Houmen are very different.

Such a good blessing, why didn't Jiang Zhen meet it?

However, envy is envy, Aunt Jiang has always loved Shen Yan very much, and she was also happy for her at this time. Because Mrs. Shen was far away in Luling, she couldn't give Shen Yan advice on many things, so Aunt Jiang asked Shen Yan to call her if she had something, and she couldn't say anything.

Shen Yu was naturally happy, and made an appointment to visit her grandmother at Meng's house during the Dragon Boat Festival, so she left.

Before leaving, he reminded Xu Yan's words again, worried that Jiang Wenying's grief would be too bad and he would not be able to grasp the proportions, and there would be problems at this juncture.

Aunt Jiang also understood, "This matter involves His Royal Highness King Wei, we don't dare to be reckless, you can remember the maintenance methods I just said, you just got married, and you are not very old, so you must not be careless." ”

Shen Yan's face turned red, she secretly glanced at Jiang Zhen, and when she saw that she was dazed, she held her mouth and smiled, and went out to get into the carriage.

Within two days, Jiang Gelao's case was decided.

The king of Wei fabricated evidence to frame important officials of the court, and did things in prison at the juncture when the emperor personally ordered the investigation of the case, killing the lives of Jiang Xun and Wei Meng, which made Emperor Huiping very angry. If this crime is taken seriously, it is not small, no matter how angry Emperor Huiping is, he can't make his son responsible.

Although he hated the poisonous snake of King Wei, he did not dare to disobey Emperor Huiping, so he took the initiative to send a personal favor and put all the blame on the head of the governor of the Wei Palace, Shi and several of his advisers, and punished him with a felony.

The king of Wei was reprimanded for lax discipline and other crimes, and was punished for three years of thinking behind closed doors.

After thinking about it for three years, during which he was not allowed to discuss politics or go out without permission, and even the personnel of the palace chief Shi Si were replaced, which was a cut off for King Wei.

Emperor Huiping was thunderous this time, cutting off King Wei's thoughts about the dragon chair, which anyone can see. At the same time, Emperor Huiping posthumously presented Jiang Xun with a nickname, handled the aftermath, and recovered a group of people who were involved in derogation because of Jiang Ge's old that day, among which Qin Xiong was the most important-

Directly promoted from Tongzhi to Beijing, entered the cabinet, and was awarded a scholar of Wenzhangge.

The court was in chaos, and the henchmen of the former King of Wei were silent, either to seek refuge with the crown prince, or to flatter Emperor Huiping, or to seek refuge in the upstart, after all, to pave the way back and find a new way out. As soon as the list of newly promoted officials came out, it was naturally another transfer.

In Duanwang's Mansion, Xu Yan sat in front of the desk and carefully smacked the document, his face was as calm as ever.

During this time, because of the spring breeze of the newlywed, and most of the time he stayed with Shen Yan, Xu Yan had a smile on his face, and he was gentle and hidden.

Now that he has regained his usual appearance, his cold and solemn temperament has pressed over, and Gu An and the other guards are a little unaccustomed to it.

However, this is Xu Yan's true face, Gu An quickly returned to his usual state and waited for him.

"King Wei's behavior this time is surprising." Xu Yan's gaze was still glued to the document, "With his means, even if he frames Jiang Xun, he should have closed his tail and left no trace." Besides, the imperial brother has ordered a thorough investigation of Jiang Ge Lao's case, but King Wei is killing people at this juncture, isn't it too stupid? ”

Although Gu An is a guard, he is also in charge of the exchange of intelligence and personnel in various places, and often gives advice to Xu Yan, and he is also suspicious when he hears the words, "My subordinates also feel strange." Since the emperor ordered a thorough investigation, he must have doubted this matter, if Jiang Ge Lao is kept, even if the case is found out, His Royal Highness King Wei admits his mistake and pushes the responsibility, saying that he is also deceived by others, and at most he will be reprimanded. And killing people will anger the emperor and attract severe punishment, with the means of His Royal Highness the King of Wei, how can he not see these clearly? ”

"Disobeying the will of the royal brother and making a killing move, this is one of them. Jiang Ge Lao and the imperial brother have a friendship of master and apprentice, Jiang Ge Lao has been criticized for being unjustly imprisoned, and now he has died unjustly, which has broken the relationship between the imperial brother and him, and made the imperial brother infamous on his back, which is tantamount to poking the imperial brother's death hole. With a two-pronged approach, the idea of destroying Jiang Ge's old mouth will do more harm than good. ”

"The subordinates also thought so, when the prince investigated the case, King Wei must have resisted, but in the end, it was still like this, I am afraid that it will be ...... There were people designing from beginning to end, which made him so passive. ”

"Two possibilities. First, starting from the letter of King Linjiang, this is the bureau of the prince cloth, King Wei is too eager to bring down Jiang Ge Lao's heart, so he didn't see the trap clearly and fell into the trap, and after the prince shot at Jiang Ge Lao in prison, he fell into a desperate situation, but with the heart of King Wei, he is not very good at doing such a thing. ”

Gu An raised his head when he heard this, and his eyes met with Xu Yan, and they each shook their heads slightly.

"Second, this matter was originally the idea of King Wei, and he made careful arrangements before making the move, and Jiang Ge Lao's death was not his intention, but someone betrayed King Wei, took out the conclusive evidence of the frame, and seamlessly transferred Jiang Ge Lao's death to King Wei, making King Wei speechless."

On this point, Gu An thought about it for a long time before nodding and saying, "Those who can do this must be the cronies of King Wei." His move is equivalent to King Wei's move, so even if King Wei wants to break away from it, it is difficult to justify. ”

"Send someone to find out." Xu Yan got up resolutely, "The prince may not have such ability, behind this matter, I am afraid that someone else is contributing to the trouble." ”

"Will it ...... Something to do with someone who contacts Yeqin? ”

Xu Yan frowned when he heard this, and didn't speak for a long time.

Gu An didn't bother him anymore and immediately went out to make arrangements.
