Chapter 136: Good Intentions
Ah Jiu ignored the eldest princess and said coldly: "Ten years ago, His Majesty would have laughed at this poem, and now even if His Majesty still trusts An Guogong's loyalty, he will inevitably muttered in his heart, and in another ten years, His Majesty will think of this poem, I don't know if he will believe An Guogong." ”
"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is sure that His Majesty will trust you no matter when? Trust An Guogong? ”
"Are you sure that in the future, no one will doubt An Guogong's loyalty to the empire?"
In recent years, Emperor Shenwu has seen his old age, and his suspicions have become more and more serious.
Even though he still trusted the eldest princess, Emperor Shenwu became increasingly suspicious of Lu Jiang and other generals who led the army.
Lu Lingfeng, the prince of Chengguo, has not been able to fully establish his position as the future commander of the Wind Regiment, and Emperor Shenwu is indispensable to pull Lu Lingfeng's hind legs.
Lu Lingfeng is the only parent of the Zhaohua County Lord who is favored by Emperor Shenwu, and the Lord of Zhaohua regards Lu Lingfeng as the root of his life, it is said that Emperor Shenwu should trust Lu Lingfeng, but King Lu Yan can compete with Lu Lingfeng, how can there be no connivance of Emperor Shenwu behind it?
At present, the crown prince is very respectful to the eldest princess, once the crown prince ascends the throne, who can guarantee that he still trusts An Guogong?
Once a son of heaven, a courtier, this sentence applies to any dynasty.
"Do you recognize that the prince of Chengguo marries the beloved daughter of His Royal Highness the Prince, isn't it to leave a way back for the future?"
Ah Jiu didn't believe that the eldest princess still didn't know what happened in the suburbs that day, when Lu Lingfeng got married, although the eldest princess didn't marry her grandson in person, she also gave a lot of gifts.
If the eldest princess hadn't nodded, Lu Lingfeng's marriage with the prince's daughter might not have been consummated even if it was the Duchess of Chengguo.
It was precisely because Ah Jiu told the truth that the eldest princess became more and more angry, her eyes were spewing fire, how many years did no one dare to be arrogant in front of the eldest princess, poking at the eldest princess's sore spot?
"Blocking the road is not the blessing of the empire, and sealing the mouths of the people of the world highlights the fact that His Majesty is not from a high background and has no family background!"
"You!"
The eldest princess was so angry that she got up from her chair and pointed her index finger at Ah Jiu, "How dare you?" How dare you? ”
Her lips trembled, and the eldest princess couldn't even say a complete word.
Ah Jiu calmly stated the facts as usual, not afraid of the angry eldest princess at all.
I have long known that Ah Jiu is bold and sharp-tongued, and in the past, Ah Jiu would take into account the noble identity of the eldest princess, but he did not agree, Ah Jiu said relatively non-tactfully, and the eldest princess was not angry.
Today, Ah Jiu's words were sharp, and the eldest princess was angry and depressed, so she finally calmed down, "What do you know at a young age?" The remnants of the restoration of the country have been repeatedly suppressed, and the people have been confused several times to breed dissatisfaction with His Majesty, is it not because His Majesty is from a humble background? ”
The eldest princess rarely complained to Ah Jiu, and at the same time proved that she and His Majesty were purifying the courtiers by means of the anti-poetry case to give a warning to the people of the world, even if the emperor was born in the reckless nature of the king of the mountain, he would not allow anyone to criticize His majesty.
"Didn't you say that His Majesty's ancestor was after Qin Shi Huang, who swept away the Six Kingdoms and unified the world?"
“……”
The eldest princess was a little ashamed, and said angrily, "You have also read history books, how many descendants of the First Emperor can be left after the Chu and Han Dynasty struggles?" The royal brother's surname can barely list the family tree. ”
She didn't believe that Ah Jiu didn't understand the cattiness, and glanced at Ah Jiu with a complaining slant, to be honest, it was too hurtful to reveal the old bottom.
"After reading the history books, I realized that all the founding emperors who ruled the world were not very high-born, there were soldiers, hooligans, and barbarian blood, and several of them could not even catch up with His Majesty, and there was no record in the history books that they were in prison for this purpose, and banned the people of the world."
There are a lot of historical facts in the memories of Ah Jiu's previous life, and there were once dynasties that made great literary prisons and tampered with history books, hoping that they would be perfect in the eyes of future generations, but it was precisely because of their perverse behavior that they were whipped by later generations.
"His Majesty can seal the pen of a historian, and he can't help the family motto written by the reader, and he can't help the warning message from the literati who have lost their relatives to the next generation. The tighter His Majesty pressed, the more it proved inferiority, and on the contrary, it provided evidence to the remnants of the restoration to bewitch the people and scholars. ”
"If your life is not guaranteed, you will fight to the death to fight against the remnants of the country, but as long as you can live, eat and drink, who wants to do things that will lose your head at any time and connect the nine clans?"
"When I passed by the Arc de Triomphe when I entered Beijing, I was very proud, proud of being a citizen of the empire. What's wrong with the humble ancestors? His majesty is wise and martial dominates the world, proving that one generation is stronger than the other. The ancestors were prominent for a while, and the descendants of later generations were not angry and ruined their families, and such unscrupulous descendants should be despised. ”
The eldest princess didn't understand these truths, she was taught by a junior, and the eldest princess was blushing. likes to appreciate Ah Jiu, but he can't stand Ah Jiu's direct poke at the sore spot without giving face, and the eldest princess's selfishness can't be clarified with Ah Jiu.
"I'll keep your father safe."
The eldest princess suddenly spoke, "The rest of the officials involved in the case may not be innocent, I see the right time to report to His Majesty and report the scope of the raid." ”
Ah Jiu laughed self-deprecatingly, "Also, in the eyes of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, I am a selfish person, and I just want to find a reason to exonerate my father." ”
“…… Ah Jiu. The eldest princess could see Ah Jiu's sadness, but she couldn't say words of comfort, "Selfishness is not a bad thing. ”
Seeing Ah Jiu turn around and walk towards the door, the eldest princess sighed in her heart, don't look at herself being depressed by Ah Jiu's anger, but still care about Ah Jiu, "What are you going to do?" ”
The eldest princess didn't believe that Ah Jiu would be disheartened by her words.
She was worried that Ah Jiu would do something big that she couldn't even hold onto.
Ah Jiu smiled lightly and turned his back to the eldest princess, "Erect a sign at the entrance of the Fusi Ya in Beizhen, specifically to defend the criminals who are imprisoned in the edict, I wonder if Jinyiwei will agree?" ”
“…… Ah Jiu! ”
The eldest princess raised her forehead and sighed, sure enough, it was really an unconscious girl.
"When the people have committed crimes, some of their family members have asked someone to write a pleading, and they have asked the pleadings to defend them. Officials who are convicted of crimes will not even be able to afford to hire a lawyer. ”
"The eloquence and talent of the master can't catch up with the guilty minister, so what's the use of asking the teacher? 陛xià...... Whether they are guilty or not is determined by His Majesty, Ah Jiu, you are too serious. ”
Ah Jiu turned his head and looked at him gloomily, "That's right, His Majesty's judgment sometimes overrides evidence and law, and it is not fair to some people. On the other hand, if someone can make sense of His Majesty, the official who is being convicted can be acquitted. ”
This is not much different from convincing the jury that the defendant is innocent, except that in her previous life, she persuaded a group of people, and now she only needs to defeat Emperor Shenwu alone.
In terms of difficulty, it is even more difficult in the previous life, after all, in order to find out the doubts of the evidence, it is also necessary to consider the fairness and impartiality of the judiciary.
The feudal emperor is above the law, and finding out the doubts is just a condiment.
Changgong took the initiative to move his lips, but he was speechless.
When others say this, she will think that she is bragging, and she is paralyzed on Ah Jiu...... How could there be a feeling that Ah Jiu had successfully persuaded Emperor Shenwu and made Emperor Shenwu issue an edict?
Is she sick?
Or is Ah Jiu growing too fast?
"You come back first!"
The eldest princess didn't worry about others, so she rushed directly to the door of the room and grabbed Ah Jiu and persuaded: "This matter has to be discussed in the long run, and no one believes it if you rashly go to the Jinyi Wei Yamen Tree brand, isn't it?" ”
Ah Jiu frowned slightly, "If it is postponed for a few more days, there will be more and more officials involved in the case, and there will naturally be more papers I will take by then, I am worried...... In the end, His Majesty couldn't wipe his face, and his reputation couldn't be restored with just one guilty edict. ”
Eldest Princess: "......"
Dare to love Ah Jiu or a loyal minister? Worried about Emperor Shenwu?
Talking to Ah Jiu, the eldest princess will always be choked up.
The ears and eyes who were sent out by the eldest princess in the morning reported the news in time to ease the embarrassment of the eldest princess.
The eldest princess has eaten deflated many times in front of Ah Jiu, and she is still very strong against others.
"Your Highness, there is news from the Yanguo Mansion."
"What?"
The eldest princess's eyes flashed brightly, and Ah Jiu couldn't help but listen carefully.
The old lady of the Mo family led the eldest daughter-in-law of the long house to the yamen and sued Mo Guanjie...... Deeply involved in Xu Wei's rebellion, the old lady presented the letters exchanged between the two parties as evidence, and heard that Mo Guanjie was dissatisfied with His Majesty in the letters. ”
Ah Jiu's eyes were half-closed, his arms trembled slightly, and Fang Cai's calmness and composure revealed a trace of cracks.
"Don't be angry."
The eldest princess didn't like Ah Jiu to go toe-for-tat with her, but it was better than Ah Jiu like this, and she took Ah Jiu in her arms pitifully, "Isn't there still me...... This princess keeps your father safe. ”
Ah Jiu gently removed from the eldest princess's arms, "Does my father know about this?" “
"This ......"
"I'm really concerned, she went to denounce my father, the chief judge of the yamen will interrogate my father, the gong in front of him, the drum in the opposite face, how could he not know that his grandmother accused him of rebellion?"
has always had no regrets, and the confident eldest princess seemed to have been stabbed in the heart.
"Grandmother's loyalty can be seen by heaven and earth, by the sun and the moon. Did she forget to frame the person who was her own blood, my father...... My father has always been very filial to her, even though my grandmother is sometimes confused and eccentric, my father has always regarded my grandmother as a close relative. ”
Ah Jiu's eyes were red, and his sparkling eyes tried to widen to prevent tears, as if he was forced into a corner, "Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, you must not understand the pain of being stabbed on a bucket by your loved ones." ”
“…… I ......"
The eldest princess regretted it, avoided Ah Jiu's gaze, and spoke incoherently to justify, "Your grandmother has ruined your father's reputation when she is usually outside, she is stupid and partial, and her father is not a person at all, her son is in prison, and the mother does not say that she rescued her son and went to the yamen to frame her, she ...... She doesn't deserve to be your daddy's mother. ”
"Who is worthy to be my father's mother?"
“……”
"According to what you said, the mother of her son in distress should actively save her son, but in this world, there are confused and ecpathic mothers like grandmothers, and there are also mothers who hurt their parents and children in the name of doing good for their sons, regardless of the wishes of others."
The eldest princess took two steps back, sat back on the chair, and covered her face with her hands, "Ah Jiu, don't say it." ”
"Sometimes I'd rather think a little less and be a little stupid, and there's a good saying that ignorance is bliss. Even my grandmother would frame and hurt my father, and my father would never trust anyone again. ”
Ah Jiu bowed his knees and said goodbye, "There are mundane things in the family, and the daughter of the criminal minister has said goodbye first." ”
"Ah Jiu...... Don't tell your father. The eldest princess's words were full of pleading.
"He's my own father."
The implication is that Ah Jiu will never do anything to hurt his father.
Ah Jiu left decisively, the old lady sued Mo Guanjie, no matter who was behind it, the damage to Mo Guanjie was definitely not small, and in the end, even if the old lady was falsely accused, Mo Guanjie and the old lady parted ways, with the long room, the third room is less involved, will Mo Guanjie not pull the down-and-out brother in the future?
Do you really regard the old lady as an enemy?
Ah Jiu can't stop having a headache, sadness is the aspect, his father's career will also be affected by this, imagine that even his biological mother broke up with Mo Guanjie, and there are not a few colleagues who will plot against him in the future.
Obviously, there is a more perfect solution to the matter, but some people choose the most difficult path for themselves.
Out of the garden, Ah Jiu reluctantly cheered up to say goodbye to Mrs. Zhuge and got into the carriage and went straight to the Yamen of Fusi in Beizhen.
On the official road, a stone flew from nowhere and happened to cut half of the rope of the lasso, and the driver hurriedly parked the carriage on the side of the road, "The slave has to re-attach the carriage." ”
Ah Jiu nodded in understanding, accidents are inevitable, safety first...... The curtain was lifted, and a figure entered.
Seeing the person coming clearly, Lingshan Lingyun lowered her head and got out of the carriage.
"Uncle Lu's skills are becoming more and more superb."
Ah Jiu pursed his lips, "You're not afraid that the control is not good, and you cut the rope directly, I fell, are you happy?" ”
"I'll take you."
Lu Tianyang sat beside Ah Jiu and hooked the corners of his mouth. R1152
