Li Qingzhao, his mother-in-law and sister-in-law looked at each other, they were all overjoyed, and they were busy kowtowing to the emperor and said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you." ”

After kowtowing several times in a row, Li Qingzhao didn't mean to stop, Song Huizong bowed down and reached out to support her and said, "Miss Li, hurry up and speak." ”

Li Qingzhao was overjoyed, and bowed down and said: "Thank you to the emperor, the emperor is kind-hearted, and he will definitely be able to win the hearts of the ministers." ”

Song Huizong didn't expect Miss Li to suddenly put on so many high hats for herself, and she was so happy that she couldn't express her joy, so she worked harder and helped Miss Li up, and Li Qingzhao got up according to the emperor's wishes.

Mother Zhao and the people around her signaled, and everyone also got up and looked at the emperor with a smile.

Song Huizong said: "I won't stay long, I will go home and let them put the three Mingcheng brothers back." ”

Li Qingzhao nodded and said, "Hey! ”

Looking at the emperor's distant back, Li Qingzhao clasped his hands and put them on his chest, secretly happy and happy, and appeared in the color again, and laughed softly. Mother Li had been on the side and did not speak, but when she saw her daughter's gaffe, she stepped forward to block her daughter's mouth, leaned into her ear and whispered to her, "You be careful." ”

Li Qingzhao woke up from the joy in his heart, knowing that he was now at a funeral, so he kept silent.

It didn't take long to hear the people outside the door: "Zhao Xianggong and they are back." ”

Mother Zhao was kneeling in front of the hall, and when she was excited, she said to the people around her: "Help me up." ”

The subordinates helped Zhao's mother up, turned around and prepared to walk out the door. I heard the crying outside the door, and then I heard my sons shouting, "Daddy." ”

Taking another step out of the door, Zhao's mother saw her three sons coming back. At a glance, I saw that they were dressed in brocade clothes, and they didn't look rich. Mother Zhao was stunned in her heart, is this going to prison?

The three brothers of the Zhao family all came forward and knelt down, faced the mourning hall, and wept.

Mother Zhao went over and called the names of the three of them. I saw the three of them in turn, and when I saw the appearance of the three of them, I was also a lot haggard. I thought in my heart, I guess the emperor changed his mind, so he changed the clothes for the three of them. But although the clothes are new, it is still difficult to hide the haggard appearance.

But Mother Zhao didn't think much about it. I also listened to the daughter-in-law beside me. Seeing the three of them say goodbye to each other, they wept with joy and wept with joy, and they were also happy.

After the funeral, Li Qingzhao and Xianggong returned to the room, feeling unhappy in their hearts, still thinking about their father-in-law's appearance before his death, and hiding his face and crying for a while.

Zhao Mingcheng wiped his tears with the lady, and said: "The lady is alone at home. I was wronged. ”

Li Qingzhao said: "I am not wronged, and now I can see the return of the father-in-law." Qingzhao is relieved. ”

Zhao Mingcheng smiled and said: "Okay, now that Mingcheng is back, you are a lot haggard, lady." ”

Seeing the wrinkles on the lady's face, Zhao Mingcheng was even more distressed, reached out and stroked the lady's face over and over again, and felt that it was not enough, so he suddenly stopped his hand, clenched his fingers, turned them into fists, and slowly retracted them. Zhao Mingcheng lowered his head again and began to cry.

Li Qingzhao said to Xiang Gong: "Xiang Gong is fine, why did he suddenly cry?" ”

Zhao Mingcheng wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then said: "How does Mingcheng know that in the few days I have been at home, such earth-shaking changes have taken place at home. The lady waited for Mingcheng and waited for her face to be old. Dad went because he was angry, and the moment Mingcheng was taken away turned out to be the time when I said goodbye to my father. This is all caused by this prime minister's position, without this prime minister's position, where are there so many things? ”

Before he could say anything, Zhao Mingcheng reached out and slapped his chest again and again, crying and said, "It's useless to blame me." If Mingcheng can rarely make achievements in the official position, it will not let the family be wronged. People don't wronged me, and I won't make my dad angry because of this, let alone make my dad like this. ”

Li Qingzhao grabbed Xianggong's arm, cried with Xianggong and said, "It's not Xianggong's fault. In the past few days in prison, Xianggong must have suffered a lot. We're all worried about each other at home. ”

Zhao Mingcheng suddenly went crazy, and stretched out his other hand to beat his chest again and again, and said viciously: "What are you worried about me doing?" I've become like this, and I'm too embarrassed to worry you. ”

Li Qingzhao worked hard and pressed Xianggong's hand before he stopped Xianggong's movements, and still cried and said to Xianggong: "Xianggong has been at home for a few days, do you know how worried we are about Xianggong? Why is Xiang Gong so self-defeating? We didn't mean to be fair. Xianggong doesn't have to be like this. Qingzhao waited and waited, waited for many days, is he just waiting for such a father? ”

Seeing that Xianggong's face did not change, as if he still had the intention of self-blame, Li Qingzhao's hand did not dare to stop, still pressed on Xianggong's body, pounced, threw himself into Xianggong's arms, and said to Xianggong: "Xianggong is not here, we are all waiting for Xianggong to call the shots." The Zhao family still needs Xianggong and the eldest brother and the second brother to call the shots in the future. ”

Zhao Mingcheng's heart suddenly became empty, and he shook his head with a red face and said, "Where can Mingcheng be the master of the family?" Mothers have rich experience, and mothers can call the shots. ”

Li Qingzhao said: "That Qingzhao relies on Xianggong, and he also needs Xianggong to call the shots." ”

Zhao Mingcheng smiled at this time, and said to the lady: "If you let me be the master, you have to let me go first." ”

Li Qingzhao looked up at Xiang Gong, saw a smile on the corner of his mouth, and couldn't help but be amused, let go of his hand, hugged Xiang Gong's shoulders again, buried his head in Xiang Gong's arms, and said to Xiang Gong: "Xiang Gong knows that Qing Zhao went to Cai's mansion to say good things for you at that time, how to humiliate the family." ”

Zhao Mingcheng naturally hugged the lady, patted the lady's shoulder, and sighed with the lady: "Mingcheng knows." This is a bitter lady. Mingcheng thought that the affairs of the Zhao family had nothing to do with the lady, but he didn't want the lady to suffer so much because of me. Just ......"

Li Qingzhao glared and said, "Just what?" ”

Zhao Mingcheng said: "It's just that Mingcheng is still guilty now, as for whether he is guilty or not." We don't know yet. Maybe I'm going back to prison! This, but isn't it another bitterness for the lady's heart? Let the lady worry about me like this. ”

Li Qingzhao burst out laughing and said to Xianggong: "Look at Xianggong's appearance." Why are you still afraid of being caught again? ”

Zhao Mingcheng blushed, nodded lightly, and said to the lady: "Yes, Mingcheng is afraid, afraid of being arrested." Corruption is not a trivial matter. Mingcheng is like this, he will definitely be arrested. When the time comes, I don't know what to do. ”

Li Qingzhao thought about what the emperor said to him. Therefore, he smiled and said: "Look at your scared look, you don't want to think about it, the emperor will put you back." How can I still get you back? ”

Zhao Mingcheng said: "The emperor said that Mingcheng is like this, it is because my father has just died, and if he doesn't come back, he is unfilial." That's what brought us back. But as soon as the funeral was over. Who knows if we'll be caught? Although we have to keep filial piety, will the emperor let us keep filial piety? ”

Li Qingzhao said fairly: "Yes." The emperor admired Confucianism, and naturally put filial piety first. Xianggong, you just stay at home and won't leave again. ”

Zhao Mingcheng blinked and stared at the lady, and asked cautiously, "Will it?" ”

Li Qingzhao said to Xiang Gong: "What do you say? ”

Zhao Mingcheng shook his head and said, "How do I know this?" ”

But looking at the confident appearance of the lady, the lady must be completely sure, so Zhao Mingcheng and the lady smiled: "Okay, so Mingcheng will listen to the lady." Mingcheng will definitely be fine. ”

Li Qingzhao squeamished "um". and got into the arms of the minister.

A few days later, Zhao Mingcheng and the lady were in the room. complained to each other, talked to each other again, and gradually became happy.

At noon that day, Li Qingzhao was drinking in the room, when he suddenly heard the voice of his mother-in-law outside the door, saying, "Where is Mingcheng?" ”

Li Qingzhao froze, listened carefully, and listened to the sound outside the door, as if her mother-in-law was very happy, and she didn't know what happy things could be, so she put down the cup and got up, and was taking a face with her mother-in-law.

Zhao Mu said: "Where is Mingcheng?" ”

Li Qingzhao looked at her mother-in-law with a happy face, she really didn't know what was good, but looking at this, she was also happy, and said with a smile: "Xianggong, he went out, and he will be back soon." ”

Li Qingzhao was talking, when he heard the voice of the prime minister outside the door, stretched out his hand to point outside the door, and said to his mother-in-law: "Mother-in-law, listen, the father-in-law is outside the door!" ”

Mother Zhao turned around and walked out the door and said to Mingcheng: "Mingcheng, come here." ”

Zhao Mingcheng came over as he said, but he didn't know what his mother was going to say, so he saw his mother laughing, so he followed his mother and laughed.

Zhao's mother said to Mingcheng: "Do you know Mingcheng? The emperor has made an order, just in front of the hall, you go and take the decree. ”

Zhao Mingcheng became serious and said to his mother: "Do you want Mingcheng to go alone?" ”

Mother Zhao shook her head and said, "No, your brothers have already gone, why don't you go soon?" ”

Zhao Mingcheng nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Li Qingzhao saw that her mother-in-law also went out, and she was busy following her.

Before Li Qingzhao came to the lobby, he heard a righteous man reciting the holy decree.

When the father-in-law recited the holy decree, Li Qingzhao was overjoyed, and the emperor had already found out that the father-in-law had been wronged.

Zhao Mingcheng and his two elder brothers looked at each other, they all laughed, bowed down and cheered, and took the holy decree.

The father-in-law said to the three of them: "The emperor is gracious to the world, for the sake of the three of you, it is sleepless all night!" It is to find out about your corruption. Now that it's all figured out, rejoice. ”

Lao Dao: "The emperor is clear-sighted, and we all deeply feel the emperor's kindness." ”

The father-in-law smiled and was satisfied, and then slowly turned to leave.

The three brothers looked at each other, and they still didn't believe it, they thought they were going to become a prisoner, but suddenly they became officials, how can they express this feeling in words?

Zhao Mingcheng looked up and laughed: "Hahaha, the emperor has acquitted us." Hahaha...... Lady, where is the lady? ”

Li Qingzhao rushed out quickly and said to Xianggong: "Qingzhao is here!" Xianggong, I heard it all. ”

Zhao Mingcheng said: "The emperor has ruled that we are not guilty. ”

Reaching out to hug the lady, Zhao Mingcheng burst into tears, and said to the lady: "Lady, you are so right, the emperor sentenced us not guilty." The emperor will not let us go back again, and will not arrest us again. ”

Although Zhao's mother was happy, she didn't look like this to Mingcheng, and she looked at the eldest and second child, they were all happy, and they were not as happy as Mingcheng, so she said to Mingcheng: "Mingcheng, you need to be reserved, in front of your two brothers, don't lose your attitude." ”

Zhao Mingcheng is happy, where can he stop? Listening to his mother's words, he shook his head with his mother and said, "No, no, no." Mother didn't understand why Mingcheng was so happy. The lady had told Ming Cheng before that Ming Cheng would not be arrested again. Now that I think about it, the lady is really right. ”

Slowly let go of the lady, Zhao Mingcheng stared at the lady for a long time, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, as if the lady was a fairy sister in his eyes, who could help him solve thousands of troubles.

Li Qingzhao just guessed, and didn't expect that the emperor would really issue an order to say that Xianggong was innocent, he was originally happy, but now he heard Xianggong praise himself like this, as if he was really an immortal who couldn't catch up, and others couldn't reach him, and he giggled several times.

Mother Zhao said: "Well, yes, thanks to the few words Qingzhao said in front of the emperor, the emperor changed his mind." You're right to thank her, too. ”

Zhao Mingcheng turned to look at the lady, looked at the lady from top to bottom, smirked a few times, hugged the lady again, and said to the lady: "Thank you for the rescue, Mingcheng and his brothers can have this good luck!" ”

When the eldest and second heard that their mother and Ming Cheng had said this, they naturally echoed and thanked Li Qingzhao.

Li Qingzhao was immersed in joy, on the one hand, the emperor really released the prime minister, and on the other hand, everyone appreciated him, and there was a fluttering feeling.

Mother Zhao said: "Okay, since the emperor is gracious, the three of you brothers will be good officials from now on, and we women will have to rely on you." ”

Zhao Mingcheng suddenly became weak again, glared, and then shook his head and said, "Do you still want to be an official?" Can Mingcheng still be an official? I'm not going, I'm not willing to go. ”

Mother Zhao was stunned for a moment, and then said, "What, you don't want to go?" You are already an official, where is there anything you want or not? How can the affairs of the family and the country be talked about and played? ”

Zhao Mingcheng said: "With my father's protection before, Mingcheng can come and go freely in the official position." But now that my father is gone, how can Mingcheng and his brothers be able to dominate it? I think I must be looked down upon. ”

Mother Zhao said angrily: "Wretched, how can you be such a person?" What good words did Qingzhao say for you? It's better to just leave you in prison. (To be continued.) )
