Chapter 338: Situation
It's a matter of royal blood, no matter how small things can make a big fuss, not to mention that it's not a trivial matter at all.
In the past few days, the early dynasty has been particularly lively, and the imperial history is almost lined up to impeach the king of Jin, and he is suspected of confusing the royal bloodline, and requires the emperor to investigate thoroughly.
The king of Jin naturally also has his own connections, and every time he comes forward to argue and defend him, he fights with the impeached imperial history in the court, and the two sides are happy to do this, but they put aside the major affairs of the country.
There was a miasma of smoke above the court.
Emperor Wanhua slowly swept over those who came out to join the King of Jin, and his eyes fell on King Gong, who was the first on the left, like a mirror in his heart.
Strong and powerful fingers knocked on the armrest of the dragon chair, and Emperor Wanhua finally spoke, and said calmly: "What you Aiqing said is reasonable, but everything is evidence-based, and now it is just An Meng's words, which is really not enough to explain anything." β
As the words fell, Yu Shi shouted fiercely: "Isn't Your Majesty favoring the King of Jin?" The so-called Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, Your Majesty, you can't ignore the law just because the King of Jin is your own brother! β
Emperor Wanhua's smile remained unchanged, his eyes sank, and he said with a smile: "What does Lord Zhang mean, is that you have already mastered the evidence of King Jin's crime of confusing the royal bloodline?" β
"This ......" Zhang Yushi peeked at King Gong at the front, and said in fear: "The old minister has no evidence. β
"Since there is no evidence, Lord Zhang will rest next to him first, and I will not cure you for the crime of disrespect and ignorance when I remember your old age." Emperor Wanhua waved his hand gently.
The implication - don't talk nonsense if you don't have evidence, stay where it's cool!
Zhang Yushi thanked him and stepped aside.
Then there was a battlefield of people and horses on both sides, and Emperor Wanhua did not come forward to resolve it, but only sat in a high position, watching a bunch of people tearing it up with great interest, regardless of the image.
There are also a few who played, most of them were for the King of Jin to confuse the royal bloodline, and only one or two were for the attack on Hengji Island, and the impeachment of the King of Jin, Emperor Wanhua pretended to be deaf and dumb to block back, and he took it seriously about the follow-up management of Hengji Island.
Now that the Battle of Hengji Island is coming to an end, how to manage the island has become a primary issue.
From a military point of view, Hengji Island is surrounded by mountains on all sides, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is a rare place for soldiers to win, and it is very suitable as a gateway for overseas trade in the future.
From an economic point of view, the climate of the huge basin in its middle is mild and humid, the four seasons are like spring, it is very suitable for farming, and the island is rich in products, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a cornucopia, if it is properly managed, it can undoubtedly bring a lot of wealth to Dayong.
Such a rich and blessed land with a superior geographical location is definitely in great danger if it falls into the hands of people with impure minds, and those who manage the island must choose carefully.
Emperor Wanhua has always trusted and valued the King of Jin, and he intended to let the King of Jin go to the town, and the ministers he relied on knew his thoughts, even if the King of Jin was elected as an ambassador to garrison Hengji Island, but without waiting for Emperor Wanhua to pretend, the imperial history of impeachment of the King of Jin made a fuss again, and once again brought out the matter of confusing the royal bloodline, and threatened: "If Your Majesty insists on sending the King of Jin to Hengji Island before this matter is clarified, the ministers will splash blood on the Jinluan Palace, and they will die in Mingzhi!" King Jin's character, I can't bear this big responsibility, please think twice! β
Zhou Yuhan looked boredly at those impassioned and impassioned imperial histories, and raised his hand and yawned without a trace. Every day, he can recite such clichΓ©s backwards.
Emperor Wanhua had a chill in his eyes, and said: "If you Aiqing still can't come up with evidence, and you keep holding on to this matter, don't blame me for not giving you face, the more you stop it, the more I will insist on going my own way to show you!" I want to see how you stain this hall red! β
"Snap" slapped the armrest, Emperor Wanhua got up angrily, "Retreat!" "Throw your sleeves away.
All the ministers knelt down and shouted long live.
After the dispersal of the dynasty, hundreds of civil and military officials came out of the council hall in twos and threes, and the king of Jin was expressionless, stepping out of the threshold with a steady pace, completely ignoring the guidance and discussion behind him.
An Shiyan looked at his friend's tall back, and wanted to go up and talk a few words, but he didn't have the courage to take a step, it was he who hurt his friend, and his friend had long reminded him to take care of his wife, and it was he who didn't take it to heart that caused today's situation.
With a low sigh of annoyance, An Shiyan hurried out of the palace before other ministers came to inquire about the news.
Now it is not only the King of Jin who is being talked about, Meng Yuyan is also rumored to be a poisonous woman, An Shiyan is covered by the green cloud of laughter, only An Ruolan is slightly better, and others mention her but say pitiful. Only the elders of the Meng Guofu and the Wenxin Marquis Mansion were also pulled out as jokes.
It can be said that Meng alone made the three families unhappy.
In Xiluan Palace, the Queen Mother listened to the latest rumors outside the palace reported by her subordinates, and couldn't help but sigh for a long time, Emperor Wanhua came to greet her, she dismissed everyone, and couldn't help complaining and blaming: "It's all you, you have to make things bigger, now not only your heartless brother is suffering, but other people are also suffering, how can you let Aunt Huijun and Aunt Chunhui be good!" β
Huijun is the maiden name of Mrs. An, and Chunhui is the maiden name of Mrs. Meng.
Emperor Wanhua laughed and said: "Otherwise, that kid can't remember the lesson, and besides, it's not just to teach that stinky boy a lesson, the son has other important things to do." β
The queen mother knew that her eldest son was measured, so she stopped talking and let him go after a few words.
Back at the Hou Mansion, An Shiyan went to visit the old Hou Ye first, because of this incident in the Meng family, the old Hou Ye was directly angry, and he had been lying in bed for several days, most of them were brothers and Mrs. An took turns to take care of it, and today it was An Shiyan's turn.
Seeing An Shiyan, the old marquis was excited, and stood up with his sick body and scolded angrily: "Why didn't you strangle that slut to death early!" β
Now in the heart of the old marquis, the Meng family is no longer a good daughter-in-law, but a stain on the Hou Mansion that can be removed quickly.
The face and status that the old marquis values the most are all because of the Meng family's plummeting, how can the old marquis not hate?
An Shiyan had heard this more than a hundred times, and he had long been numb, so he only helped his father to lie down, served him to eat and drink, and answered his questions.
An Wenyan came to visit his grandfather, and just walked outside the door, when he heard the words of the old marquis, his heart suddenly burned like red carbon rolling, and he couldn't take a step again.
There is a mother who has "lost her heart and gone crazy", a father who is suspected of being a cuckold, An Wenyan has not had a good time during this time, there are countless jokes about him, and there are even those who ridicule him for admitting the wrong father, all kinds of remarks are full of ears, if it weren't for Mi'er always being by his side, he would have collapsed.
And his grandfather's words made him even more embarrassed, and he, like his father, couldn't raise his head to see people.
What makes him most sad and unacceptable is that his sister, who has loved him for more than ten years, may not be his own sister.
Not daring to stay any longer, An Wenyan wiped his sour eyes and left lightly.
Leaving his grandfather's yard gloomily, An Wenyan wandered around the front yard aimlessly, turning around, and then turned to the shadow wall of the second gate.
Under the hazy sky, every qiΔ looks bleak.
He didn't have the courage to step into this threshold, afraid to face his grandmother and aunt sisters.
I don't know how long I stood in a daze, a clear voice came from inside the door, An Wenyan looked up, and saw An Ruolan standing against the door frame.
His eyes were red, and he didn't dare to think about the fact that Lan'er was not his own sister.
"Brother." An Ruolan called.
An Wenyan didn't want to lose his temper in front of his sister, so he hurriedly cleaned up his mood, wiped the moist corners of his eyes, and asked with a forced smile: "Lan'er wants to leave the house?" β
An Ruolan looked at the corners of his red eyes and nose, feeling very uncomfortable, and shook his head and said, "I'll go ahead and see my grandfather." β
Her strict and introverted brother was forced to be so emotionally exposed, presumably because he was extremely bitter in his heart.
Once upon a time, she vowed to make her brother happy for the rest of his life, but she never did.
There was guilt and hatred in her eyes, and for the first time, she hated her selfish biological mother.
Hearing this, An Wenyan smiled and said, "You will be happy if you go, grandfather." β
An Ruolan pulled out a stiff smile.
Although the old marquis has a good face and is anxious for quick success, but his brain is quite flexible, he figured out why Emperor Wanhua suddenly made An Ruolan the county lord, and guessed that Emperor Wanhua would definitely protect King Jin and An Ruolan, because although the Meng family made a big mistake, although An Ruolan's life experience is unknown, the old marquis did not anger An Ruolan, on the contrary, he became closer and closer to An Ruolan, and now only when he sees An Ruolan, the old marquis has a little smile.
Squeezed out a dry smile, An Wenyan pretended to be casual and said: "Go quickly, I made an appointment with a few classmates for tea, it's not early, it's time to go out." β
"......" An Ruolan opened her mouth, and finally just nodded.
She knew that her brother was lying, and now rumors are spreading, most of those pretentious sons and brothers who are scholars will only laugh at and sarcasm their brother, where will anyone be willing to drink tea with their brother?
She couldn't bear to expose her brother's lies.
As long as this way, my brother will feel a little better.
Looking at the back of his sister leaving, An Wenyan finally couldn't help shedding tears, wiped away his tears, he raised his feet and entered the second gate, and went to Xinyue Garden.
He knew that his mother was not crazy, so there were some questions he had to ask.
Meng Shi was locked in her own room in Xinyue Garden, she could not step out without the permission of the old lady, the door was locked from the outside, guarded day and night, the windows were also sealed with wooden strips, and she could only see the maid who brought in the food for three meals a day.
Meng Shi didn't go crazy, but she was about to be driven crazy, she yelled in the room every day, or denounced and reprimanded the old lady's evil deeds, or ordered the maid to let her out, and even asked Xia He and Qiu Ju to go to Meng Guofu to report the news, wanting her mother's family to save her from hell.
For today's Meng family, the Hou Mansion is hell, and the people here are all evil ghosts who bully and pollute her.
"Let me out! You filthy and filthy devils, you don't want me to be like you! If you dare to do this to me, my father and brother will not let you go! And Brother Xu, he is a prince, he has always loved me the most! β
When An Wenyan arrived at Xinyue Garden, what he saw was his biological mother rushing in front of the window, hysterical, at that moment, he hated to be deaf and blind. R1152
