The emperor is not to warn the princes that he will not handle this matter so neatly.

Although Uncle Changfang barely saved his life, he suffered in the cell, was scolded by the cane, and his family was sent to a wild place, it is difficult to say whether he can reach southern Xinjiang alive.

It's not that for the sake of him taking the initiative to confess after the incident, the emperor will not spare his life.

In recent years, the emperor has treated the courtiers quite favorably, and rarely re-executes criminals in the autumn of each year, and has issued several edicts to amnesty the world.

No one expected that the emperor would handle the case of his concubine's poisoning of his mother-in-law so harshly.

The ministers muttered in private, the emperor was giving a warning to the princes who were about to move, and the lawsuit of the Jiang family of the Marquis of Yongning happened to hit the muzzle of the gun.

Three days after Jiang Luqi learned that her father was sentenced to be beheaded and abandoned, she cried into tears, and wanted to rush out to find the queen to plead with her father several times, but she was stopped by Xiao Ruihua.

She begged Xiao Ruihua to let Xiao Zhuohua treat the prince in exchange for his father's life, Xiao Ruihua heard this, and his pity for Jiang Luqi completely disappeared, and forcibly ordered Jiang Luqi to be locked up, and at the same time announced to the public that Jiang Luqi was overly sad and angry, her mind was unclear, and she had signs of madness.

The imperial doctor Xiao Ruihua found proved this statement.

Xiao Ruihua didn't fake with the imperial doctor, nor did she give Jiang Luqi a decoction of lost souls, Jiang Luqi did go out to the stage of losing her soul, she always muttered words that others couldn't understand, she was not in this state, what is a demon?

Yongning Hou removed the name of the Changfang and Sifang clans, Jiang Luqi's father is no longer a descendant of the Jiang family, how can Yongning Hou help Jiang Luqi get ahead again?

The county lord of Jiamin did not hesitate to leak the scandal of the Jiang family, and quickly cut through the mess to solve the fourth room, but he didn't want Jiang Luqi to be implicated in the Jiang family anymore, not to mention that Xiao Ruihua let Jiang Luqi recuperate, even if Xiao Ruihua put Jiang Luqi on leave, the Jiang family would not blame Xiao Ruihua for being ruthless.

However, Xiao Ruihua still wants Shilin's prestige, and he doesn't mention the divorce of his wife except for letting Jiang Luqi recuperate.

Of course, Xiao Ruihua did not take any more concubines, the master of the Xiao family was already few, and there were no relatives to defect, Xiao Ruihua entrusted the affairs of the house to the very experienced housekeeper mother.

Most of the people who came to visit Xiao Ruihua would not let his wife come forward.

Xiao Ruihua didn't want to get a concubine to press on Jiang Luqi's head, taking the concubine as his wife, his character would be criticized, he would rather trouble himself than let others criticize him.

also persuaded Xiao Ruihua to send Jiang Luqi to the temple, and Xiao Ruihua laughed at this.

Sent to the temple?

I don't know what else Jiang Luqi can say again.

Xiao Ruihua didn't believe that the monks and nuns in the temple could look at Jiang Luqi, so it was better to put it in front of his eyes.

Now Xiao Ruihua wants to be the emperor's direct minister, and it is best to avoid socializing with officials and princes, under the pretext of Jiang Luqi's illness, the Xiao family will not say that Xiao Ruihua is high and looks down on his colleagues.

After meeting with the prince of Qin, Xiao Ruihua had another consideration for the affairs of Jiangnan.

From Jiang Luqi's mouth, Xiao Ruihua intermittently knew some hidden truths about the change, and he finally understood why the county lord of Jiamin did not hesitate to expose the scandal of the Jiang family to get rid of the uneasiness.

Xiao Ruihua was suspicious of the change of children, and when he went to Jiang's house to visit Xiao Zhuohua, who was pregnant, he asked a few words on the side, Xiao Zhuohua was his sister, and he shouldn't hide his brother, but Xiao Zhuohua didn't dare to say it clearly.

Xiao Zhuohua could only whisper to his brother, "The prince of Qin is also a poor person, thanks to his sister-in-law, I don't know what the ending is now, brother, if I can help you, I must help the prince." ”

"Our prince of Qin has a lot of thoughts."

Xiao Ruihua's smile added a little more admiration for Zhao Duoze, "My sister doesn't have to worry about the prince and the princess, they may have a rich future in the future." ”

Subsequently, Xiao Ruihua asked Xiao Zhuohua to raise the fetus with peace of mind, nothing was as important as the child in her belly, Xiao Zhuohua told her brother how good her in-laws were to her. Xiao Ruihua compared her sister-in-law Jiang Wenjin's homework, and she didn't know what to say.

Jiang Wenjin was so ashamed that she couldn't raise her head in front of her brother-in-law.

Xiao Ruihua just hopes that his nephew will not be like Jiang Wenjin in the future.

My sister-in-law is really unenlightened when she reads.

He thought of the second master Jiang, and he didn't expect anything from his nephew, the second room of the Jiang family is not good at reading, maybe it's genetic, but there is a smart sister who has improved his bloodline, maybe his nephew can be stronger than his sister-in-law?

"Sister-in-law don't worry too much, you can concentrate on taking care of my sister."

Xiao Ruihua has decided to draw a scope for her sister-in-law before the township examination, and the main examination of the township examination ...... He can guess which one it is, and he listens to a few key words from the mouth of the main exam, and his sister-in-law is the son of Jiang Erye, so it is not difficult to pass the township test.

As for the exam?

Jiang Wenjin doesn't expect to try to be an official, the title of Marquis of Yongning can't be left behind, and his sister-in-law will have a stable hereditary title in the future, and he and Zhao Duoze will take care of him in the court, Jiang Wenjin is a person with great blessings.

Don't worry about anything.

"Xiao family boy, come, accompany me for two drinks."

"Okay."

Xiao Ruihua was dragged by Jiang Erye to drink, Jiang Wenjin looked at his wife guiltily after his brother-in-law left, Xiao Zhuohua gently touched her husband's face, and said shyly: "I like you." ”

"Really?"

"Yes."

"Hehe, it's good that Zhuohua doesn't dislike me."

Jiang Wenjin got the affirmation of his wife, and his self-esteem was restored, anyway, someone was willing to worry about him, why did he bother to study again?

Xiaomei said that he is a wife and slave in this life.

"When you finish your confinement, I will accompany you to Jiangnan to sweep the graves of your father-in-law and mother-in-law, and by the way, find a good place in Jiangnan to build a manor for your parents.

"It's about choosing a good place for them."

Xiao Zhuohua likes today's dull, happy, and wealthy days.

******

"You know that, too?"

"Huh?"

"Don't lie to me, kid of the Xiao family, my nephew and goddess are chattering, I don't believe you don't know."

"It's fine."

Xiao Ruihua took a sip of wine, "Second master is afraid that I will say it?" ”

"Go." Jiang Erye counted with his fingers for a long time, "What do you think my son-in-law is lacking now?" What can the title of son bring him? I wish someone would have stabbed this matter out now, and I would make a fuss in the name of it and help my son-in-law vent his evil anger. ”

“……”

Xiao Ruihua really wants to ask Jiang Erye, you haven't made enough trouble? Not to mention beating Yang Men Taijun, he also poured a bucket of dog blood on others, and by the way, he took away the most precious 'wealth' of the Yang family, "Can you still make a trick?" ”

"That's nature."

Second Master Jiang shook his head confidently, "My Jiang family has suffered such a big loss, how can I not let the Yang family and King Qin pay the price?" King Qin looked shrewd, but he was actually more confused than me, he couldn't even tell his son clearly, and he was tricked by two women for a lifetime...... Tut, if he is willing to drink with me, I can still give him a reminder, King Qin looks down on me, thinks I am a mud, and I took shit luck to do Yongning Hou Shizi, you say, why should I remind him? Why? ”

With a snort, Jiang Erye drank the wine in the wine glass and complained: "My son-in-law has been busy recently, so he doesn't come to drink with me." ”

Xiao Ruihua picked up the wine jug and poured Jiang Erye's empty wine glass full of wine, "The prince is busy with military training, and when he finishes integrating the Shenji Battalion, he will have time to drink with you." ”

"It's hard to say." Jiang Erye snorted, "Don't talk about him, drink." ”

"Second Master Jiang, do you know that I admire you very much?"

"Ha, you are a talented man, a very smart person admires me? Admire a person who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it? ”

"You don't know how to say what to say and when."

Xiao Ruihua's voice was low, and he looked at Second Master Jiang with a wine glass.

There was a hint of longing and regret in the depth of his gaze.

What would it be like if he married Jiang Luyao in the first place?

I don't dare to say it, he will never have a nervous wife like now, judging from what Jiang Erye did, he didn't need to worry about his father-in-law dragging him back, when he let go of his mind to marry Jiang Luyao, the biggest reason was not that Jiang Luyao was not good, nor that he didn't like Jiang Luyao, but that he was afraid that Jiang Erye would get into trouble and affect himself.

Xiao Ruihua clenched his wine glass, wrong, he who has always been calculating, he was wrong, and his confident eye for seeing people was invalid in Jiang Erye.

"The second master said that I should help your son-in-law?"

"You ask me?"

"Hmm." Xiao Ruihua's eyes burned, and he raised his head and said, "I believe in the second master." ”

Second Master Jiang touched his head and asked in a daze, "My son-in-law needs the help of the Xiao family?" Didn't stop talking? ”

“……”

Xiao Ruihua was amazed, his skinny fingers tapped the table with great rhythm, and laughed: "Good answer, really a wonderful answer." ”

Second Master Jiang was stunned by him, and pushed Xiao Ruihua, who was wild, "Xiao family boy, did I say anything?" ”

Xiao Ruihua burst into tears of laughter and pressed his temples, "Second Master Jiang is right, I overestimated myself too much and underestimated the second master's son-in-law." ”

The problem he faced was solved by Jiang Erye's words.

"Xiao family kid......" Second Master Jiang has always admired smart people, admiring smart people who understand everything and can solve any difficult things, "You are the same as my Yaoyao, you are too smart." ”

In Jiang Erye's opinion, Xiao Ruihua and Yaoyao are people of the same grade, and even his son-in-law is a little worse.

However, Second Master Jiang prefers Zhao Duoze, not because he is afraid of having a smart son-in-law, but because Zhao Duoze, who is flesh and blood, paranoid and obsessed, passionate, energetic, and confused, is his son-in-law.

If Xiao Ruihua became his son-in-law, Second Master Jiang didn't know how to get along with his smart son-in-law.

Come to think of it, it's better to be Aze.

Although Aze has also become a lot smarter recently, and he doesn't have time to drink with him......

Xiao Ruihua said lightly: "No matter what, he is a royal man. ”

Zhao Duoze has an identity, status, a family-in-law, and a virtuous and intelligent wife, but he needs the help of Xiao Ruihua.

Xiao Ruihua is not completely sure that he can help Zhao Duoze.

"Second Master Jiang, I'll leave first."

"Wait." Second Master Jiang suddenly said.

Xiao Ruihua hid his frustration and asked, "I didn't drink happily today, I'll drink with Second Master Jiang in a few days." ”

"It's not about drinking." Second Master Jiang looked unspeakable, and leaned into Xiao Ruihua's ear, "This is what Yaoyao told me to tell you, Yaoyao has always felt that you should be a famous minister in history." ”

"Please ask Second Master Jiang for advice."

"I can't talk about pointing, what I said below was all relayed by Yaoyao, if you say it wrong, don't blame Yaoyao."

"Please." Xiao Ruihua's face was much more serious, since Jiang Luyao deliberately asked Jiang Erye to relay it, it must be a very important matter.

"Jiang Luqi likes Zhao Duoyi."

"Hmm." Xiao Ruihua closed his eyes, no wonder Jiang Luqi just went to the Qin Palace, the fourth room of the Jiang family was expelled from the clan, and the fourth master Jiang ended up abandoning the corpse.

"What's more, Yaoyao said that the Lord of Yongfu County may be in love with you. In the past, the lord of Yongfu could still hold back, but now Jiang Luqi is 'seriously ill', and you are becoming more and more prominent in the court, Yaoyao said that no matter what happens in Jiangnan, how do you choose, your future will definitely be favored by many people. ”

Second Master Jiang tugged at his hair, "It seems that Yaoyao still said something, but it's too awkward, I can't remember." Roughly speaking, it means that you, Lord Xiao, are no longer a rising star who has the potential to become a famous minister, but a figure who can influence the pattern of the dynasty. Therefore, who your wife is will be more valued by the bigwigs in the court, and even the emperor will want to choose a virtuous woman for you. ”

The county lord of Yongfu doesn't even have to say anything, as long as Xiao Ruihua shows a grateful and concerned look, whether it is the eldest princess or the queen, they will all want to use the county lord of Yongfu to win over Xiao Ruihua.

Because of the paddock, Xiao Ruihua is grateful to the Lord of Yongfu, and it is inevitable that he will show his concern for the Lord of Yongfu.

For example, Xiao Ruihua once secretly inquired about the husband-in-law candidate chosen by the queen for the lord of Yongfu County......

He even tried to find a way to mess up this marriage.

Xiao Ruihua asked, "What else did she say?" ”

"No, Yaoyao only said this."

"That's right, she's so smart, how could she possibly let me do that?"

Xiao Ruihua smiled bitterly, Jiang Luyao just stated the facts in advance, if he didn't want to have a green hat on his head and be sympathized and despised by everyone, it was best to look at Jiang Luqi, and at the same time, if he didn't want to get involved in the whirlpool of the princes seizing the heir, he had better stay away from the lord of Yongfu.

In other words, if he wanted to assist a prince to ascend to the throne, the lord of Yongfu was his best choice.

After all, the eldest princess still has a certain amount of strength.

Jiang Luyao did not advise him on how to choose.

"Xiao family boy." Jiang Erye said bitterly: "I just said that I am not happy to talk to a smart person like you, but I actually said something I don't understand, forget it, forget it, it's not too early, you go back quickly." ”

"If I divorce Jiang Luqi, will Jiang Erye fight for her?"

"She's not from my Jiang family, what am I doing to fight unevenly?"

"Second Master Jiang is not afraid that others will say that you are ruthless?"

"Don't be afraid." Second Master Jiang shook his head and said, "The discussion of others won't let me lose a piece of meat?" Why do I have to live according to other people's ideas? If I cared about what the world thinks, I would have changed my mind about eating, drinking, and having fun. ”

Second Master Jiang glanced at Xiao Ruihua seriously and said, "Yaoyao once told me privately that you would not divorce your wife, and I also think that you are not the one who divorced your wife." ”

"But I need a wife, she can be stupid, she can be stupid, she can be stupid, she can not help anything."

"Are you looking for a wife? I'll see you find the Wood Man again. ”

"Huh."

Xiao Ruihua arched his hand and said, "Trouble the second master to tell her, she knows me very well." ”

If you can't be a husband and wife, it's good to be a pair of confidants, although in Jiang Luyao's eyes, he is just the brother of his sister-in-law, Xiao Ruihua can take Jiang Luyao as his confidant.

"I can convey it, but don't let my son-in-law know, he has a bad temper, and after taking charge of the army recently, he is even more decisive in killing his subordinates, once I went to the Shenji Camp and saw him hanging the disobedient soldier ruffian upside down on a tree...... One hanging is an afternoon, and I heard that I almost lost my life. ”

"Are you worried about me? Or are you worried about your son-in-law? ”

"I'm worried about my daughter."

Second Master Jiang said: "Don't make trouble for Yaoyao. ”

"Yes." Xiao Ruihua turned around and left the Jiang family.

After returning to Xiao's house, Xiao Ruihua stayed in the study for a long time, and ordered to lock up the courtyard where Jiang Luqi was, and he didn't plan to let Jiang Luqi out again before Princess Qin was unlucky.

As for why he was sure that Princess Qin would be unlucky?

Do you still need to ask?

Princess Qin has Jiang Luyao as her opponent, who is unlucky if she is not unlucky?

Xiao Ruihua weighed for a long time, and wrote a letter to the teacher in Jiangnan, vaguely asking to marry the daughter of the enlightenment teacher.

The enlightenment teacher is just a lifter, and his family background is also very ordinary, and he once joked that he gave his daughter to him as a concubine when he was in Xiao Ruihua's high school.

At that time, Xiao Ruihua pretended not to understand, and later after he entered Beijing, he didn't think about it anymore, and now he needs a wife...... He can't marry the Lord of Yongfu, not because the Lord of Yongfu is not good enough, but because marrying the Lord of Yongfu means trouble.

When Xiao Ruihua made up his mind to help Zhao Duoze usurp the throne and seize power, the lord of Yongfu was no longer suitable to marry him.

Although the Ming Dynasty did not admit shoulder picking in the order, there were already many people who married two wives for the shoulder pickers.

Of course, the first wife is the greatest, the most respected, and the wife who comes in later, although she is also a wife, is one point lower in front of the first wife.

Xiao Ruihua's parents died, he didn't think about shouldering at all before, he just wanted to marry a wife who was in love, and now it seems that he also needs a wife who can take care of the backyard.

The daughter of the enlightenment teacher has an ordinary family background, and her father and brother are mediocre in talent, so she can't count Xiao Ruihua's help, and after she enters the door, she will at least not press Jiang Luqi, who has no mother's family as a backer.

If he marries a noble girl with an excellent family background, Jiang Luqi, who married first, will have no way to live at all.

Xiao Ruihua didn't want Jiang Luyao to look down on him, and he promised Yongning Hou that he would not abandon Jiang Luqi, even if Jiang Luqi didn't have him in his heart...... Doesn't he have Jiang Luqi in his heart?

I can't say who is more sorry for whom.

Xiao Ruihua took out a worn, yellowish letter from the bookcase, "I didn't expect that I would still use this letter one day, it's really unpredictable." ”

He took up a pen and wrote the original story on the fold, and sent the suicide note left by his father along with the fold.

*******

The emperor received Xiao Ruihua's excerpt for the first time, picked up the suicide note and looked at it carefully, shook his head and said, "Xiao Qing is a kind person. ”

"Your Majesty?"

"You go and pass on my message to Xiao Qing, and say that I know."

"Yes."

"In addition, choose some good silk and festive utensils among the tributes and reward them to Xiao Ruihua."

"Yes."

The law of the Ming Dynasty will not admit to shoulder-to-shoulder, and the emperor cannot express his support clearly, which does not mean that the emperor will not understand Xiao Ruihua's good intentions, with Xiao Ruihua's status today, it is already rare to not abandon the Jiang family, and in the selection of re-marrying a wife, he actually chose the daughter of a low-born person, all of which is enough to prove that Xiao Ruihua only wants to be a loyal servant of the emperor.

The emperor's heart was very hot, and on the second day after receiving Xiao Ruihua's excerpt, he found a reason to promote Xiao Ruihua's official position from the seventh grade to the fifth grade at once, and let Xiao Ruihua do the royal walk.

The emperor's fat shortage can be seen at any time when walking in front of the emperor, and walking in front of the emperor can also walk in the six departments and walk in the cabinet.

Xiao Ruihua has become hot again.

After thanking the court, Xiao Ruihua published a book, accusing the young master of the noble family of having a violent temperament, disregarding human life, and killing and insulting maids at will, and he implored the emperor to make decisions for the common people who died unjustly.

After the emperor saw the excerpt, he ordered the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple to thoroughly investigate the matter.

After the queen heard about it, she naturally didn't dare to mention the matter of marrying the lord of Yongfu to the tyrannical prince.

The queen also wants to save face.

"You say, Xiao Ruihua did it on purpose? Still is? ”

"Niangniang, if Lord Xiao has affection for the Lord of Yongfu, the wife who marries the shoulder-to-shoulder must be the Lord of Yongfu."

"He's really nosy."

"Lord Xiao is now extremely prestigious, and this incident can also be praised by the people - not for the powerful."

The queen pressed her forehead, "That's it, this palace will choose a 'good family' for Yongfu again." ”

"...... The slave maid just got the news from Cining Palace, and the Queen Mother took charge of the marriage of the Lord of Yongfu County to An Lehou. ”

"What? The lord of Yongfu promised An Lehou? ”

"Yes, the Queen Mother has already summoned the old lady of the Hou Anle Mansion."

"Hehe, Yongfu is a good blessing, it turned out to be an happy wait, and the generation is not bad, it is the nephew of the Queen Mother."

Although An Lehou was five or six years older than the lord of Yongfu and married a new string, An Lehou is a nephew that the queen mother prefers, and he is also a good match for the lord of Yongfu, whether it is the eldest princess or the queen, they can no longer use the lord of Yongfu to achieve benefits.

An Le Hou is accustomed to pleasure and never participates in the competition of princes.

After Xiao Ruihua heard the queen mother's will, he slightly hooked the corners of his mouth, he can be regarded as worthy of the lord of Yongfu, and the Marquis of Anle is the best destination for the lord of Yongfu.

The author has something to say: such an arrangement is in line with Xiao Ruihua portrayed by Peach, this person is ruthless to the extreme, calculating to the extreme. Since he decided to help the male protagonist, he will no longer have anything to do with the princes. At the same time, Xiao Ruihua has a bottom line of being a person, such as he treats Jiang Si and the county lord of Yongfu.
