Chapter 107: Knighthood
The old lady and the others had ecstatic expressions on their faces.
"Imperial Sister ......" Emperor Shenwu helped up the princess of the town country, with a little hesitation, and his eyes fell on his other nephew, who was said to be his long-lost nephew.
This nephew is handsome, quite like the Mu family, but his eyes are slightly cloudy, Emperor Shenwu doesn't have a good impression of him, it's not that he looks down on him at the hands of a rural village woman, it's really hard to believe that he is the biological son of his brother-in-law and sister.
His brother-in-law is a first-class person in the world, a talented and beautiful person!
"It's not too late to wait for Lu Tianyang to come back from Shandong and then canonize him."
"Brother Huang, have you ever seen a mother who would mistake her own flesh and blood?"
ββ¦β¦β
Emperor Shenwu was silent, and An Guogong took the initiative to say: "I implore Your Majesty to canonize the title of second brother." β
Hearing this, Uncle Chen San hugged the eldest princess's thigh and cried bitterly, "Mother, I finally have a mother." β
"Don't cry, don't cry."
The eldest princess stroked his head lovingly, and the corners of her eyes were a little moist, "You have suffered the most over the years, I will definitely compensate you in the future, and you will ...... It's called Mu Chen, and I'll write your name on the Mu family tree after a while. β
"Mother!" Mu Chen grinned and cried, tears gushing out, but it was not sad from crying, mixed with an indescribable ecstasy.
Emperor Shenwu said: "Feng Mu Chen is the Duke of Yan Guo, so as to show that the Mu family is the original Northern Yan famous family." β
"Thank you."
Mu Chen, Yan Guogong was pinched by the eldest princess before he reacted, and kowtowed again and again, "Thank you, Your Majesty." β
He turned from a country man to a prominent grandfather?
He's not dreaming, is he?!
I bit my tongue several times in a row to realize that the qiΔ in front of me was not a dream, and the glory and wealth in the future were inexhaustible.
"Although the Mo family and the Chen family deceived me back then, they can raise Mu Chen for many years and work hard." The eldest princess asked, "What reward do you want?" β
The old lady grabbed the ecstatic girl. Timidly blessed body, whimpered: "The princess and the mother and son of Yanguo reunited, and don't blame the people's women, it is already the best reward for the people's women, the people's women have lived up to the trust of the old sister back then, but there is a matter of heart, and the women have no regrets." β
Ah Jiu stood quietly at the door. Hear that. Glancing into the room, the old lady sang well and was affectionate. Touching...... Grandmother didn't stay in the imperial capital in vain and grew up.
"The Mu family and Princess Ben don't want to owe favors."
"Your Highness."
The old lady was also a little flustered in her heart, and she was really afraid that the benefits she had received would be gone, so her aunt was poking her beside her. "The women are also the mothers, and now they also live for their children. Before I came, my eldest and youngest sons were taken into the yamen, and the women begged Her Royal Highness the princess to release them and return home, and the women were grateful. β
"Isn't your second son the son of the country who oversees the sacrificial wine? Jiang Shoufu's son-in-law? β
Emperor Shenwu frowned. I haven't heard of a big case in the imperial capital, how big a case can ordinary people who he has never heard of involve in it?
The old lady said bitterly: "The family has a family's difficulties, the second son of the people's woman...... Xu reads a lot. The official has done a high job, and he has the support of the Yue family. He had long forgotten his brother and the woman who supported him in his studies. The people's wife and the eldest son and the youngest son will only embarrass him, and he can't get used to it......"
"Lying in front of His Majesty is a great crime of bullying the king, and he will be sentenced to death."
Ah Jiu said outside the door: "Please also ask grandmother to be cautious." β
Emperor Shenwu looked at the door, and the two chamberlains blocked Ah Jiu, but Ah Jiu didn't intend to break in, standing slim in the backlight, a pair of beautiful eyes flashing with seriousness.
"Let her in."
The corners of Emperor Shenwu's mouth raised slightly, every time he saw this little girl, he would be very impressed, and Ah Jiu was getting better and better, almost every day, and when this girl was in harmony, her appearance might be even better.
He is always patient with beauties.
Especially Ah Jiu is bright and charming, and Zhou's body is full of youthful vitality, which makes Emperor Shenwu, who has reached old age, like it even more, and with the little girl, he himself will be younger.
After Ah Jiufu, he said: "Although it is a family ugliness that cannot be publicized, in front of His Majesty, the courtiers don't feel that they should hide it. β
"Why?"
"The courtiers and others are your people, and you are the parents of the people of the world. You can not only listen to the courtier's family affairs, but also call the shots. β
Ah Jiu smiled sweetly, but Emperor Shenwu had a straight face, "I know that you are sharp-toothed, and I see that your grandmother is more loyal." β
The old lady squeezed a smile to Emperor Shenwu to express her admiration, but her face was wrinkled, which made Emperor Shenwu really unappetizing.
The eldest princess sat quietly sipping tea, An Guogong glanced at his son Mu Yanyu with a little worry, and slowly closed his eyes to cover the melancholy and distress in his eyes.
"Loyalty doesn't necessarily mean that you don't deceive, and of course the courtiers don't think that grandmothers are bad people. The sage said that no one is perfect, even if Sage Confucius is the most valued student among many students, even the saint is like this, and his grandmother has three sons and one daughter, so she has an eccentric son. β
"You mean your grandmother didn't like your father? Partial to other children? β
"Grandmother has always thought that her father's study and career career is promising, and she no longer needs to bother, on the contrary, the eldest uncle and the third uncle have no hope of raising a career because they can't study, and they need money to make a living. Grandmother's silver money shop pΓΉ mostly gave them. β
If Ah Jiu said that the old lady was penniless, the Mo family's face was not good-looking, "The eldest uncle and the third uncle have always been filial piety by the grandmother's side, accompanying their grandmother day and night, and the grandmother is naturally more familiar with them and loves them more. β
"Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be both, and my father always said that it was good that my grandmother had a great uncle and a third uncle, but I could be filial to my grandmother on his behalf. After my father returned to Beijing and was awarded the wine of the prince of the country, he immediately took his grandmother, uncle, and third uncle to the capital to enjoy the blessings, and almost all the people of the whole family moved to the capital, if the father was afraid that they would be embarrassed, how could he do this? The eldest uncle supported his father to study, and his father remembered it for the rest of his life. β
"The father has the important responsibility of teaching, and he should lead by example, if he interferes with the justice of justice by virtue of his official position, the student of the country's son. Isn't the future of the empire learned? Relying on power, the official position does not take the criminal law to heart? β
Ah Jiu took a deep breath, "Grandmother doesn't read much, and her father can't explain many truths to her, and he is not a person who is good at expressing or fooling grandmother, so he can only make some arrangements silently, which will not hinder the law and the government to judge the case." There is a way for the eldest uncle and the third uncle to be treated fairly and justly. β
"You...... He never told me. β
The old lady said directly. "Your Majesty, the woman loves the second child very much, not like this girl said. If the woman has three sons, how can she only provide for the second child to study? β
"The eldest uncle doesn't like to read, the third uncle ......" Ah Jiu said lightly: "It's not a reading seed, really speaking." My father was self-help by the college teacher before he was admitted to Xiucai, and there were several enlightened and self-help students in his hometown. My father's grades were excellent that year, and he was expected to raise his career, and most of the fees were waived and exempted. Lifting people, the yamen will reduce the tax burden, and will distribute rice, grain and silver money every month. Since then, my grandmother's life has been better. β
Emperor Shenwu said: "Mo Qing feels wronged? β
"Grandmothers are fathers and mothers, and they only have bad children. How can children be disgusted with their parents? β
Ah Jiu was quite touched, and there was a little more sadness and helplessness in his words, "People's hearts are flesh and blood, what my father does is misunderstood by my grandmother, the more I do, the more wrong I am, I will inevitably be sad, I am not afraid of His Majesty's jokes, for the eldest uncle and their imprisonment, grandmother scolded my father for being a wicked animal with no conscience!" β
The eldest princess's arm holding the teacup trembled, her anger was so uncontrollable, she took a deep breath and slowly exhaled the breath that was stuffed in her chest, "Ah Jiu, your father didn't support the Chen family?" β
"Almost all relatives and friends have benefited from the courtier's father, and the eldest uncle, the third uncle and others are grateful to their father."
"Yes, one person has ascended to heaven."
The eldest princess nodded, "Jin Juren, if you win the lift, not only will the Mo family have a prosperous life, but the seven aunts and eight aunts can live a life without worrying about eating and drinking." Mok Guanjie...... Princess Ben has also seen that the person who can make Jiang Shoufu choose his beloved son-in-law is trustworthy in character. Brother Huang, what do you say? β
Emperor Shenwu was a little flustered, and the imperial sister ...... The imperial sister was abnormal, nodded and said: "Jiang Shoufu does see people very accurately, Mo Qing has never lived up to my expectations, conscientious, self-denial and public service, is the pillar of talent that I value, his reform in Guozijian and the education reform in Jiangnan have made me see the hope of talents." β
It wasn't until he saw the eldest princess bend the corners of her mouth that Emperor Shenwu felt a lot more at ease.
"Mu Chen, how is your cousin Mo Guanjie treating you?"
ββ¦β¦β
Yan Guogong had a flash of inspiration, ignoring the hints of the old lady and others, and nodded again and again, "Very good, without Cousin Mo, my son can't even eat a full meal for a long time, and your grandson can't afford to raise it, my mother doesn't know how poor the Chen family was before, how hard her son's life was, when he was hungry, he could only drink cold water, gnaw grass roots, and make up for a piece of clothing. β
The eldest princess waved her hand to stop, "Fang Cai Ah Jiu said that Mo Guanjie didn't dare to interfere with the justice of the law, he didn't dare to do it, I dare!" β
"Princess!" Ah Jiu said with a smile: "You...... You...... It's ......"
"Your grandmother is kind to the Mu family, this princess can't forget, they didn't commit a heinous crime, Your Majesty looks at my face, and I can issue an order to forgive them from responsibility."
Gonggong Ma told the case in the ear of Emperor Shenwu, the news was naturally given by King Lu Yan, Gonggong Ma quietly looked at Ah Jiu, this girl is what Tianyang likes?
Although he has no beard, Ma Gonggong couldn't help but touch his chin, yes, yes, worthy of being raised by Lu Tian, worthy of being the heir of the prince!
Emperor Shenwu said nonchalantly: "The case is not deep, and there is no conclusive evidence to prove that they are the main culprits, so I can make a confession." β
The old lady cried and thanked Emperor Shenwu for his grace.
Emperor Shenwu knew that the eldest princess had other arrangements, "Imperial sister, what reward do you want to give?" Although I said that I had promised my brother-in-law that the descendants of the Mu family would be rich and honorable forever. β
Thinking of the founding princes who were executed by Emperor Shenwu, and the exploits of being beheaded all over the house, Ah Jiu looked at Emperor Shenwu who had no bottom line of connivance with the eldest princess and the king of the opening mountain, she didn't know whether to say that he was ruthless or affectionate?
A thought flashed through Ah Jiu's mind, Emperor Shenwu attached so much importance to the eldest princess's lineage, wouldn't it be dangerous for Uncle Lu, who had always been at odds with the eldest princess?
Eh, her skull is broken, how can she think of Uncle Lu?
It must be the result of Mu Yanyu and Jiang always chattering in their ears.
"Ah Jiu, don't you take your father's place of thanks?" The eldest princess asked with a smile, "Or do you think that Your Majesty's reward is less?" β
ββ¦β¦β
Ah Jiu was confused, and it was Uncle Lu's fault that he was distracted when he shouldn't have been distracted, "The courtiers thanked His Majesty XiΓ Longen." β
Listening to the tone of the eldest princess is a reward, and it will not be bad.
Emperor Shenwu said: "Little girl, get up, you will become Miss Hou of Ruyang in the future, it will be much more convenient to enter the palace to find Hezhen, in recent days, Hezhen has always said how good Sister Ajiu is, and my ears are calloused." β
"Marquis of Ruyang?"
Ah Jiu stumbled, what does this mean?
Could it be that his father became the Marquis of Ruyang?
"Hereditary?" Ah Jiu asked in a daze.
"Brother Huang, let's see if Ah Jiu is not satisfied." The eldest princess smiled in her eyes, "Mo Guanjie taught Yanyu with his heart, not to mention his knowledge, and his temperament became more and more calm. β
"Passing the decree, the Marquis of Ruyang is hereditary for three generations."
Emperor Shenwu said: "Wait for Mo Guanjie to make meritorious contributions to me again, and I will be sealed again." β
ββ¦β¦β
Ah Jiu doesn't feel honored, he just wants to slap himself hard, make you talk more, let you talk more! has a hereditary title, and the Mo family has been lively since then, and the second sister must be wary of the Jiang family, who has just become pregnant. (To be continued) R466
