When the king of Jin came, he brought a pot three feet high, red all over, with lush branches and leaves, as gorgeous as a burning fire, and like a pot of blooming coral.

Rao is a well-informed queen mother, and she is also a little surprised, "It's okay to have a coral of this size, it's rare that this color and appearance are so beautiful, even the mourning family is the first time I've seen it." ”

King Jin said proudly, "If it's not a good thing, how dare you give it to your sister and brother-in-law?" Xiuru, the first time you and your brother-in-law go back to Beijing, the second brother doesn't have anything good to give you, so I will give you a pot of red coral, and take it home for the New Year to put it on display, add some festivity. ”

Shou Ning was still young, and he didn't have so many eyes to speak, so he pointed to the coral and exclaimed, "This coral is really beautiful, bigger and better than the one in the mother's harem!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone changed slightly, the queen is the mother of a country, if the things in her palace are not as good as the palace, wouldn't it be a mess of dignity?

Concubine Zheng Guifei was afraid that her daughter would cause trouble, so she hurriedly called Shou Ning back, "What do you know about good and bad as a child?" ”

But Gao Xiuru had already stood up and thanked him, "Thank you for the kindness of the second imperial brother, but I don't dare to accept such a good coral, so I should dedicate it to the imperial grandmother or the father and queen mother." ”

King Jin felt a little bored, but Empress Dowager Mu spoke, "Xiuru, since your second brother specially found it for you, you can accept it." This is a good omen for the blossoming of wealth, and it is just right to send you. Although this thing is rare, it is a plaything in the end, I think the emperor and queen are not reluctant, right? ”

Gao Xian was still busy with state affairs and didn't have time to come. Queen Wang hurriedly said, "Of course not. Thinking about how much the princess has suffered and made so many contributions outside, what is it to take a small pot of coral? Besides, it is a piece of King Jin's heart, princess, you don't have to shirk anymore. ”

She still has no children and no daughters, and she can't afford to offend any of these adult and powerful children.

Seeing that she was so well-behaved, Empress Dowager Mu was also very satisfied, and ordered Gao Xiuru to take away the things, and began to gossip again.

didn't say a word, Gao Xian came.

When we met, I said to my daughter. "Xiuru. You're going to be a little wronged this time. Although you have made such a great contribution to come back, your father cannot reward you, but the soldiers under your command have their own rewards. ”

Everyone understood this as soon as they heard it, and the merits and demerits were offset. No reward or punishment.

Gao Xiuru hurriedly got up and said. "That's already good. It is also the soldiers' lives that the sons can make some contributions, and the father should reward them. ”

Wei Yinian also said, "We didn't govern our family strictly, causing such a big disaster. It's a fluke that our father didn't punish us, how dare we think about anything else? ”

Only Mu Tai put down her face and said, "How can I blame you for this?" It's all for that girl! Your Majesty, won't you punish her? ”

This...... Gao Xian was a little embarrassed, people are bitter masters, and it is not fake to cheat the money, and there is no evidence to instigate her to incite the masses with ulterior motives, what reason is there to punish her?

Gao Xiuru looked at him, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade, "Imperial grandmother, this matter ......"

"Xiuru, don't talk!" Empress Dowager Mu said angrily, "That day, Shouning was lost, and the emperor said that it is not for your daughter to be unable to eat enough to fight this world." The mourning family wants to ask now, is it because of our hard work to make the children angry? That girl was deceived, and she was stupid. It's just that three untouchables died, why do you even have to erase such a big credit for Xiuru? This truth is incomprehensible! ”

Seeing that the old mother had a little temper, Gao Xian's face was bitter. Xiaoyi's righteousness obviously doesn't make sense, how else can you explain it to her?

Shou Ning wanted to say good things to her sister Zhu, but she was pulled by Concubine Zheng Guifei and was not allowed to make a sound.

King Jin tried to beat him up, "It's just a little girl, why should the imperial grandmother take it to heart?" ”

He actually wanted to say that it was better to simply do it, and the next black hand would quietly destroy that girl. But who knew that the girl was actually the landlord of the beauty? It seems that the beauty is quite protective of her. If she really did something, would she offend the beauty? Forget it, it's just a little girl, so why bother?

Unexpectedly, Empress Dowager Mu said to him, "It's just a little girl, if the mourning family can't deal with it, what's the point of this queen mother?" ”

King Jin has nothing to say. Gao Xian glared at him fiercely, there was not enough success, and there were more than failures!

Gao Changxin, the king of Duqi, stood up, "Imperial grandmother, please don't be angry, forgive your grandson for saying something that shouldn't be said, and please don't be surprised by Xiuru and the concubine, even if your family didn't have this incident, I don't approve of my father's reward for you." ”

What does this mean? Not only the Empress Dowager Mu, but even the emperor listened, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Gao Changxin smiled, "Today is a family banquet, there is no one else here, I also boldly say a few sincere words, if everyone thinks it is wrong, you can put it forward." ”

Looking at Gao Xiuru and his wife again, he said extremely calmly, "Xiuru is not born to his father, this is a well-known thing in the world." It's just because she has the same surname as our family and has a relationship with her father, so she was accepted as a righteous daughter. Over the years, although Xiuru did not go to Beijing, her father did not treat her lightly. Of all the princesses, she is the only one who has the exclusive title of the fiefdom. Of course, this is also what Xiuru earned back with her own ability, and others can't complain or be annoyed. It's just—"

He changed his words, and then his eyes fell on the Empress Dowager Mu, "Xiuru guards the southwest, although the hard work is high, but the emperor has already enclosed such a large area to her as a vassal country." Isn't what she did to fulfill her duty to defend the land? I'm not saying that Xiuru can erase her credit if she does her duty. It's just that I'm thinking, some of the old generals who followed their father's uprising sacrificed their lives for the country early and are still alive now, such as the Marquis of Zhenyuan and the Duke of Dingguo, which one was not born and died, and made great achievements? But who can have a fiefdom? Up and down the court, the only one who enjoys this honor is the princess of Changguo. If at this time, as soon as she went to Beijing, the imperial grandmother still insisted on giving her a rich reward, would it make the generals feel that the imperial grandmother was partial, only caring about her own children and ignoring others? Will you forget Xiuru's original merits, and only think that she just recognized a good godfather, so she can get such a prominent and honorable status? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. Looking at King Qi's gaze, he was surprised and admired.

Although the words are sharper, people are right!

Gao Chang secretly said ashamed in confidence, thinking that this time he was really stained with Su Cheng's light. Don't look at this person's reputation, he is really a person. Unique vision, see things thoroughly. If it weren't for his guidance, he didn't expect that there was something he could say in a better way.

After a pause, he looked at the Queen Mother and said sincerely, "Last time my uncle was beaten, I didn't help to intercede, and that's because of this." The emperor's grandmother and uncle are noble, but what is the merit of the country? If it weren't for the dignity of the status, how could he get this high position? Speaking of Ryan, this is even more so. If she caused such a catastrophe, if it was left on someone else, what should she do? If the father and emperor don't punish the Pingguo Mansion at all, how can a group of courtiers be convinced? Could it be that just because Pingguo Gong has a good sister, and Ryan admits a good father, he can escape with the favor of the Queen Mother? If this is the case for everyone, where will the law of the land be placed? The opening of the Liang Dynasty has only been a few years, and the world is not peaceful in the four seas, as royal family members, should we take the lead in abiding by the law and doing our part for the Liang Dynasty? ”

Empress Dowager Mu's color changed slightly, and she only heard him say again, "Uncle Xiao is a reasonable person, so he stood up and took responsibility." I admire this courage. He was injured, and we all felt distressed when we looked at it, and the imperial grandmother must have felt even more pain in her heart. But do you know how good the reputation of the little uncle has been in the court, in the people, for you, for the Mu family, and for the royal family? Even the people did not come to watch, and how much would the courtiers respect him in their hearts? We people were born with a good life, a good father, a good background, and a noble status, but will the people really respect us in their hearts? If you haven't really sacrificed for the country like this, how can you win the respect and love of the world if you have made meritorious contributions to Jiangshan Sheji? ”

The whole family was convinced.

Thinking about it calmly, Empress Dowager Mu also felt that Gao Xian should not be blamed for her brother's beating. If you are beaten like this, it doesn't seem to be all bad things to be able to exchange for the prestige of Ping Guogong.

And the shock in Gao Xiuru's heart was even deeper.

Originally, she really felt that she was quite aggrieved, but just because the three villains made a mess in it, she erased her great credit in vain. Now it seems that she would like to thank that Sister Zhu, if it weren't for her trouble, she would have no reason to be rewarded, but I am afraid that her credit is too much, but she will become the target of public criticism.

Thinking to herself, Wei Yinian was already one step ahead of her, and stepped forward to thank King Qi, "Thank you Second Emperor Brother for your advice, otherwise my husband and wife will be mistaken!" ”

Then knelt down in front of Empress Dowager Mu, "The imperial grandmother is kind, the princess and I are grateful, and I can't repay it." But what the second emperor brother said was sincere, all from the bottom of his heart, for the sake of our husband and wife. Please also ask the imperial grandmother to be considerate, don't be angry and annoyed for us anymore, otherwise, it will be a great unfilial piety for us to be our children and grandchildren. ”

Gao Xiuru is not a stupid person, and immediately knelt down and said, "What the second emperor brother said is very reasonable, every time in the southwest, thinking of the emperor's deep grace, I am often ashamed of myself. Father, the son and son of the emperor entered Beijing this time and thought about asking for the reduction of the country, but they were afraid of hurting their father's heart and did not dare to speak. Now that the second emperor brother has spoken it out for me, the son must have the courage to plead with his father and the emperor to abolish the son minister's vassal state and army. ”

"Why bother?" At this time, only Gao Xian could say such a thing, and then glanced at King Qi, revealing three points of approval, and then said, "Xiuru, hurry up, your second emperor brother is right, merit is merit, and it is over." Your deeds are enough to get you the honor you are in now, so there is nothing to be ashamed of. As for this matter, it's not that you have a heart, and the grievances you suffered are still in your heart. Let's stop here, pack up your mood and have a good New Year, and everyone should stop talking. ”

"No!" Gao Xiuru said, "Father, I have one more request......
