Chapter 20: Rumors
In the capital the next day, in addition to talking about which prince got what he usually did, which concubine did the emperor favor today?
But today's biggest talking point is: The son-in-law and daughter-in-law of Master Shangshu Su of the Criminal Department were abused, framed, and wore old clothes, even if they dared to bully, and they were instructed by their relatives. All of a sudden, it was boiling. In the end, even the emperor was shocked!
Su Junhua was furious in the mansion, no one dared to touch his moldy head, he was strictly ordering his subordinates to thoroughly investigate who spread these rumors, but unexpectedly, the emperor sent someone to summon him!
His heart sank, but his face was inconspicuous.
In this whole Daqi, there are so many officials, who don't have some family affairs, and it is common for children of the descendants to be treated unfairly because of the death of their biological mother, but none of them are so fierce!
In the imperial study in the palace, Su Junhua has been set aside by the emperor since he saluted the emperor and got up, ignoring him, he also knew that the emperor was deliberately hanging him, but he bowed respectfully, not daring to do anything beyond the slightest!
About a quarter of an hour later, Emperor Zhao finally finished approving the accumulation of twists and turns, his mood improved, he took a sip of tea, raised his eyes and saw Su Junhua who was still bowing, and saw Su Junhua's attitude, the anger in his heart was soothed, so he ordered: "Okay, don't bow down!" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Su Junhua stood up straight and reported to Emperor Zhao what happened in the mansion yesterday!
Emperor Zhao's face was gloomy and terrible after hearing this, and even the father-in-law on the side took a breath for Su Junhua.
Su Junhua, who knelt down again, was also worried in his heart, and bowed his head deeply, but he knew this majesty, if he didn't tell the truth today, one day, his majesty learned from others that the crime of deception was absolute! When the time comes, the condemnation will be even heavier! If you say it all today, Your Majesty will scold a few words at most, and then let him go back to the house to deal with this matter seriously! But I won't remember! It will not become a handle for others in the future!
Su Junhua's many years of experience and intelligence as an official are absolutely there!!
And this majesty will never allow anything to be beyond his control! Especially his courtiers!
Sure enough, as Su Junhua expected, Emperor Zhao calmed down, his eyes were like a needle stabbing at Su Junhua, who was kneeling below, with an expressionless face and a majestic voice: "I will never allow anyone to flout the laws of Daqi!" Do you understand? ”
After Su Junhua heard this, his body shook, and he kowtowed and replied: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, this incident will never happen again in Su Mansion!" ”
"Hmm."
Seeing that Su Junhua was still kneeling, Emperor Zhao frowned and said, "You get up!" ”
Su Junhua knelt and bent over, this morning, he didn't even eat half of the meal! It can be said that I have suffered a lot! Accidentally, when he got up, he shook it, and Emperor Zhao looked at the wrinkled marks between his eyebrows and deepened a little! Seeing this, Gonggong Gao hurriedly went over to help, and Emperor Zhao was very satisfied with Gao Jin's "move"!
After Su Junhua stood firm, Emperor Zhao left behind another shocking sentence for Su Junhua,
"There should be a lady in Su Mansion! When you first got married, you excused yourself on the grounds that your children were still young, and it has been six years. Emperor Zhao said lightly
Su Junhua came back from his stunned stupor at this time, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to guarantee my life!" This will never happen again! The matter of marrying a wife hopes that His Majesty will forgive his sins, but the minister does not want to marry again, and he will atone for his sins! ”
After Su Junhua finished speaking, the entire imperial study was quiet again.
The cold sweat on the head of the father-in-law on the side oozed out! Don't dare to move for half a minute!
Emperor Zhao looked at Su Junhua and narrowed his eyes, the coldness in his eyes appeared, but it disappeared again, and he said calmly: "Okay, your family affairs have been taken care of...... If there is such a thing next time, I will not spare it! …… Let's go down! ”
"Yes." Su Junhua quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart when he heard this, and retreated according to the courtesy!
And Emperor Zhao seemed to remember something old, closed his eyes, leaned back in his chair, and didn't know what he was thinking?
Seeing this, Gonggong Gao quietly retreated, and instructed the palace people not to disturb anyone!
And he personally stood in front of the door, looked at the high wall in the distance, and thought of the emperor's taboo in his heart over the years, "I'm afraid I think of the deceased Mrs. Su again!" It's just that the love of the emperor is shallow after all, and it is also a scourge! Gao Jin thought silently!
And Su Junhua, who had already left the palace, stood in the bustling Beijing market, looking at the crowds coming and going, and turned his head to look at the palace that everyone yearns for!
A sad look appeared on his face for a moment, and he disappeared in the blink of an eye, and put on an elegant smile again, and became the gentle and elegant secretary of the criminal department in front of that person, Su Junhua! But his hands were stained with blood, apparently he had just clenched his fists in the imperial study, and he had used too much force.
And he just took the reins handed to him by his subordinates, turned over his horse, and galloped away.
At this time, in the house, return to the clouds,
Su Wanliang was eating with Su Yanxi, and the rumors outside the mansion of General Chunbai, who were waiting on the side, and Su Junhua being summoned into the palace, sued Su Wanliang.
Hearing this, Su Yanxi asked suspiciously, "Sister, will he punish us, father?" ”
Chunbai on the side also looked at Su Wanliang suspiciously, not understanding her intentions!
Seeing this, Su Wanliang wiped the food on the side of Su Yanxi's mouth with a handkerchief, touched his head, and smiled gently: "No!" Father will reward us well!! ”
looked at Su Yanxi and still didn't understand. Su Wan smiled lightly and asked, "Yan Xi, do you think we did something wrong?" ”
"Nope." Su Yanxi replied firmly
"Did we tell the rumor ourselves?" Seeing this, Su Wanliang asked calmly
"It's not!" Su Yanxi replied
Chunbai heard her young lady's words, took a look, and hurriedly lowered her head, "Miss, you are making up a void, you didn't say it, you sent someone to say it!" That person is still me......" At this moment, she heard Su Wanliang's words
"Yan Xi, sometimes, as long as we think that we are right and worthy of our conscience, we don't need to feel upset or regret." Su Wanliang's expression was peaceful, and his eyes were clear.
When Su Yanxi heard this, although he didn't understand what Sister A meant, he firmly remembered this sentence, and he no longer felt scared in his heart, and he was relieved to relax!
Su Yanxi didn't know that this sentence would become the criterion of his life in the future! It helped him a lot when he was confused!
Su Wanliang looked at Su Yanxi's eyes, and knew that he didn't understand what she meant, but there was no need to worry, Su Yanxi was still young, and he would always get used to and remember it subtly!
After lunch, Su Wanliang called someone to clean up, and Su Yanxi went to the study to warm the book.
Chunbai opened his mouth on the side, and didn't say anything for a long time, Su Wanliang smiled when he saw this and said, "What's wrong?" ”
"How did the young lady know the identity of the slave?"
"I thought you were going to ask something else? What's this...... Look at your hands, and your usual standing, only martial arts practitioners will have these imprints and habits! ”
Chunbai: "Miss ......, you are really observant, I have already covered it up, but you still found out!"
Su Wanliang seemed to know the meaning of Chunbai's eyes, so he said lightly: "Some people who know the path of martial arts know that no one in this mansion has this ability!" Don't worry! ”
Chunbai was relieved, and then she said: "Miss, my brother sent me a message today, saying that someone in the mansion ordered the beggars who broke the temple last night to change the appearance of what happened in the mansion, and let them spread it quickly this morning!" ”
"Really?" Su Wan asked coolly
"The slave and maid found out that it was the nurse next to the second lady!"
"Go and ask your brother to find a few people to stir up those beggars! And then there's ...... In the future, there is no need to avoid Yan Xi about these things, he should understand these things! Su Wanliang commanded lightly
"Yes."
"There's nothing to do after that, we'll just watch a good show quietly......" Su Wanliang got up and stroked the plum blossoms in the bottle and said softly
The petals fell, swirled a few times in the air, and slowly fell, Su Wanliang smiled when he saw this, and turned his head to look at the endless snow outside the window!
And the spring white in the house is long gone.
