There was no change at all in the Jiannan Marquis Mansion, and Zhao Wei did neither anything wrong nor said the wrong thing, so it could still arouse the emperor's suspicion, which was simply unreasonable.

The only thing that will really provoke the emperor's dissatisfaction with the heroes of Conglong is the threat to the imperial power, right? Zhao Wei thinks that he doesn't have this ability, and now in this world, there will be a threat to the emperor, except for the line of King Ying, whose power has long since dissipated, there is only King Guangping, who was once the recognized heir to the throne of the first imperial dynasty.

However, King Guangping abdicated due to blindness, and he was the emperor's brother, and now he is almost not involved in court politics, and he is very low-key, what reason will make the emperor jealous? Unless the greatest obstacle to his succession is gone, he is again a able-bodied man with both eyes......

Dr. Ye is by no means a quack, and if King Guangping hadn't really improved his eyes, he wouldn't have to stay in the hot spring village for a long time, and he wouldn't even return to his own palace. Calculating the time, it has been half a year since they moved to the hot spring village, and with Dr. Ye's ability, there should be some results. Although the king of Guangping has not entered the palace for half a year, the queen mother has sent people to visit him from time to time, and if his eyes really improve, the queen mother's people will know. And the Queen Mother's people know, and the emperor should almost know.

Could it be that this is the reason why the emperor is suspicious of even building the Nanhou Mansion? Is it just because the Jiannan Hou Mansion and the Guangping Mansion are about to marry?

This is still a marriage given by the Queen Mother by himself.

Zhao Wei and Zhao Xiu both frowned tightly, if this was the reason why the former was targeted by the emperor, they really wanted to cry out for wrongdoing.

Zhao Wei said categorically: "It is impossible for our family to be estranged from King Guangping!" It is unlikely that the marriage of the royal gift will be changed. You got married, and Jiannanhou Mansion is still your home! ”

Zhao Xiu laughed when he heard this: "Of course, we haven't done anything bad, why should we be estranged from our relatives because of an inexplicable idea of the emperor?" It's not for me to say, the emperor has become too suspicious now. If it weren't for the support of King Guangping, our family saved his life and escorted him all the way to Beijing. His throne has long belonged to someone else, where is there a good day today. Let's not talk about our family, King Guangping is his brother and has always cared for him. If he really regained his sight, he should be happy for his brother as a younger brother, why is he jealous? ”

Zhao Wei also had the same idea in his heart, and he had to say that such an emperor made him feel a little cold. The reverence for the emperor in the past has also weakened a little. However, he shouldn't have told his sister: "Just talk about these things in private between our brothers and sisters, don't mention them in front of others, and it's best not to say such things even in front of the son." There are some things that we can do when we know them in our hearts, but we can't take the initiative to say them, otherwise the emperor will only become more and more angry and feel that our family is arrogant. ”

Zhao Xiu naturally understood this truth, but he was still very angry in his heart.

It's not that the emperor is asking for any benefits, but he just wants to have a quiet life. Is this also called arrogance? As soon as the emperor is suspicious, he will immediately become the most hated person in the world.

She said to Zhao Wei: "No matter, if the emperor wants to rectify his brother for such a reason, my brother just doesn't know." The criminal department is the criminal department, but it's just an errand, where is it the same as an errand? My brother has participated in the embankment case, and he is familiar with the affairs of the criminal department, and he also has connections, so he just needs to act according to his own wishes. Neither the king of Guangping nor the prince had any intention of rebellion. On the contrary, he repeatedly tolerated the emperor, and our family was even more beneficial. Even if the emperor wants to govern us, there is no reason. So what we have to do, we will do. There is no need to avoid it. ”

Zhao Wei thought about it and nodded: "That's fine." It is expected that the emperor is just a little suspicious, as long as we don't make mistakes, he won't do anything to us, otherwise how can we convince the court? ”

Since the founding of this dynasty, there have been examples of the emperor being jealous of the emperor. They either hold military power, or have high achievements, or have deliberately opposed the emperor many times, but as long as they do not seek rebellion, nor do they have great rebellion crimes, they still stand in peace and stability, and still enjoy wealth and glory.

Since Zhao Xiu was taught by Mama Gong and Mama Zuo, he has heard many secrets in the circle of elites, including many similar examples. So she knew very well in her heart that the emperor's suspicion - that didn't mean anything, the family that would be ruined because of the emperor's suspicion was all their own death, or they were affected by their pig teammates. Jiannan Hou Mansion has no pig teammates, and he never dies, so it should be fine.

The worst outcome is just a regression to the situation of ten years ago. The old, weak, sick and disabled returned to their hometowns to farm and live, and were completely excluded from the circle of power. Back then, the ancestors and grandchildren of the Zhao family could survive it, and they were not afraid to come back again.

As for the Guangping Palace, Zhao Xiu was even less worried. The queen mother in the palace is still there, she is healthy, and she pays great attention to maintenance on weekdays, and it seems that she has lived for at least 20 years. If the queen mother doesn't die, the emperor has to worry about his mother's feelings, if the king of Guangping really has a heart of disobedience, he doesn't, the emperor still wants to give his brother a horse, that is the emperor's fault.

The emperor ascended the throne for only three years, and the suppression of the rebellion was not entirely dependent on his own efforts, most of the initial manpower was taken over from the hands of the king of Guangping, and only a small part was assisted by the Zhong family of Qushui Bofu. And now there are many remnants of the first emperor in the court, and there are also officials who left the center of the court for other reasons in the early days of the emperor's accession to the throne.

- None of them are die-hard loyalists of the emperor.

And the emperor, he didn't even want to accept a concubine, he failed to do what he said in the court. It's not that Zhao Xiu underestimates him, but she thinks that he doesn't have the strength to ruthlessly eradicate a fellow brother who has never had a different heart and even helped him a lot, and he is known all over the world, and it will not cause criticism from the world.

And the king of Guangping is fine, and the Jiannan Hou Mansion will be fine. What's more, the Jiannan Marquis Mansion is also a dragon hero who has never had a different heart and has helped the emperor ascend the throne, which is known to the world.

Judging from the emperor's usual words and deeds, he probably still attaches great importance to his reputation. Therefore, Zhao Xiu only needs to act without making mistakes at home, Guangping Wangfu without making mistakes, and beware of the framing of some ill-intentioned people in the outside world, so as to ensure that the two families are worry-free. As for the emperor's suspicions, how to deal with them? Let him be suspicious! Anyway, he's just thinking about it.

Maybe the emperor is upset and will make some small moves. But King Guangping, Gao Zhen and Zhao Wei are not powerful, and they don't pay attention to that little action.

Zhao Xiu also smiled and said to Zhao Wei: "The Criminal Department is a place that my brother is familiar with, and if you go there, you can know it in your heart." If you do it well, you may be able to break through. I think that the Criminal Department is better than other places, and at most there will be a few unjust cases, involving some powerful figures, making it difficult for you to stretch. But you are not the head of the criminal department, and you don't even have a specific position, and it will not be your turn to hold anyone accountable. In contrast, if you go to the military department, you may have to go to the battlefield, and you have no eyes for swords and guns, and it is not good if something happens; The household department and the Ministry of Industry may be involved in corruption cases, even if you are innocent, it is easy to make people tired; The officials are fighting for power and profit, and there is no need to fight with those treacherous old men; There are many and trivial things in the Ministry of Rites, and there is no real power, so if there is a small problem, it will be picked on by the top at any time. Among the six parts, five of them are easy to lose, and it is best to go to the criminal department. ”

Zhao Wei listened funny: "According to my sister, the criminal department is really the best choice?" ”

Zhao Xiu smiled: "Isn't it the best choice?" There is no credit for your share, there is no need for you to carry the responsibility, whether the errand is done well or not, there are only two options of "solving the case" and "not solving the case", isn't it simple? ”

Zhao Wei laughed: "In this case, I'll try to do this simple errand that my sister said." ”

Zhao Wei has never done anything, and he has to do his best as soon as he does it. He sent someone to the Mingzhi Library to send a copy of all the codes related to the criminal law to his house, and he carefully read and studied it from the beginning. After going to the Criminal Department, he did not rashly interfere in the interrogation and review of any case, but only obeyed the arrangement of the Criminal Department's Shangshu, first looked through the old years' files, familiarized himself with the provisions of the Criminal Law and the procedures for adjudicating cases, and also established a good relationship with the officials of the Criminal Department.

At first, when I heard that Jiannanhou was going to study in the Ministry, all the officials in the Criminal Ministry, except for those who had worked with him, were a little worried that he would be young and vigorous and would not get along well. But after a long time, everyone found that Zhao Wei was as gentle and polite as rumored, humble and studious, and he had a little more good feeling in his heart. Whenever Zhao Wei took the old file and asked people for some incomprehension, everyone was happy to explain it to him. And Zhao Wei out of gratitude, he will invite the people of the Criminal Department to go to the restaurant teahouse for a small gathering, or send a festival gift on the New Year's Day, which official or his family has a birthday, and there is a happy event in the family, there is a congratulatory gift from the Jiannan Hou Mansion. In less than two months, Zhao Wei was already a big baby loved by everyone in the Criminal Department.

Shangshu of the Criminal Department praised Zhao Wei in front of the emperor more than once, and said that he helped to review the omissions of three major local cases in a row, which greatly increased the face of the Criminal Department......

The emperor was a little distracted, he wanted to say that I didn't mean that, but he couldn't say it, he could only watch Zhao Wei seem to have won over everyone in the criminal department, which made him more worried than winning over a few new scholars, but he couldn't pick out a thorn.

Not only could he not complain, but he could not turn a blind eye to the words of the criminal department Shangshu, because the latter said these words in front of many important ministers in the court. But after half a day's effort, even the queen mother in Cining Palace knew about it, and happily said to the emperor during dinner: "The Marquis of Jiannan is so sensible, the emperor should reward him well, how to say that he is also a hero, and he will be a family member with our royal family next year." ”

The emperor stiffened a smiling face and responded, and when he turned around, he issued an order to praise Zhao Wei, gold, silver, wealth, and overseas treasures were sent to Jiannanhou's Mansion like flowing water. (To be continued.) )
