After hearing Zhao Junchen's statement, not only Aunt Xiang was stunned, but Su Xiuning was also stunned. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
They didn't expect Zhao Junchen to have such an awareness, and he said it so calmly.
Then, both of them looked at Zhao Junchen in a daze, waiting for Zhao Junchen to continue.
Zhao Junchen did not lie, he has done too many things all the way to today, he has done a lot of things that benefit the country and the people, and he has also done a lot of things that have brought disaster to the country and the people, and his merits and demerits are by no means simple to judge by the four words "good and evil, loyal and traitorous", although Zhao Junchen has been trying his best to reverse the direction of his fate, but as the so-called "do his best to obey the destiny of heaven", Zhao Junchen is not too sure of what the final result will be, so Zhao Junchen has long been prepared for the worst - and, Even if it ushered in the worst ending, Zhao Junchen was not too wronged.
But Su Xiuning can barely be regarded as a friend, and she is far from being a friend, and Zhao Junchen does not need to explain his thoughts to her in detail.
Therefore, although Su Xiuning was waiting for Zhao Junchen to continue, Zhao Junchen skipped this topic, instead returned to his place and sat down, and asked Su Xiuning: "According to my guess, Miss Su, you will come to Zhao Mansion today to ask me for help, in fact, because of Ling Zun's thoughts, right?" ”
Seeing Zhao Junchen's words suddenly change, Su Xiuning was stunned again.
Because Zhao Junchen did not play according to the rules, Su Xiuning had lost the impulse just now, and regained his previous supple temperament, after hearing Zhao Junchen's inquiry, he hesitated slightly, but still nodded in acknowledgement.
Zhao Junchen also nodded and said: "I said, your performance just now is not like your previous personality, obviously you were encouraged and pressured, so you had to do it, but unfortunately this is not your nature, I forgot to disguise it with a little stirring...... But this is not a bad thing, you are just a girl's family, you have never experienced the ups and downs of the world, but you don't have to let yourself bear too many things, let alone sacrifice everything for the sake of slim hope, everyone's ability has a limit, your father's matter has long been a foregone conclusion, and forcibly reversing it is never a good thing, both for others and for yourself. ”
Su Xiuning couldn't understand what Zhao Junchen meant, and couldn't help but look dazed.
And at this moment, Aunt Xiang, who had always been low-key and silent, finally couldn't help but interject after seeing Su Xiuning's appearance.
Aunt Xiang walked to Su Xiuning's side and saluted Zhao Junchen: "People's daughter Xiangyu, meet Lord Zhao." ”
Seeing Aunt Xiang's sudden speech, Zhao Junchen was slightly stunned and asked, "Are you ......?" ”
Su Xiuning hurriedly introduced: "This is my aunt Xiang Yu. ”
Aunt Xiang shook her head and said, "It's just Su Changyi's outer room, and it can't be put on the table." ”
Zhao Junchen nodded lightly and motioned for Aunt Xiang to continue.
Aunt Xiang said slowly: "Actually, Su Changzhen never expected Lord Zhao to save him, but he just hoped that Lord Zhao would be able to save the Su family in the future for the sake of Xiuning's face, and now Su Changzhen has committed a serious crime, I am afraid that it is inevitable to be a capital crime, Su Changzhen has long accepted his fate, and he does not dare to hope that he can get rid of the crime, but the Su family is innocent, but they will also be implicated, not only to be sent to remote places, but also to be relegated to the music membership and become a pariah, from now on there will be no future, it is really too tragic......
Speaking of this, after Aunt Xiang glanced at Su Xiuning, a sigh flashed in her eyes, and she continued: "However, Xiuning and Su Changyi have a deep father-daughter relationship after all, after seeing Lord Zhao, she actually forgot her original purpose, and directly begged Lord Zhao to rescue her father, but it was a little bit too late, and after being rejected by Lord Zhao, she lost her mind for a while, and even said something that she didn't know...... Xiuning's personality is too supple, she never knows how to refuse others, and she has put too much pressure on herself, and now she has reached the limit, and she can't help but feel a little out of control, and I hope that Lord Zhao has a lot of you, so don't blame her. ”
A hint of surprise flashed in Zhao Junchen's eyes, and he said, "I see...... With Su Changyi's knowledge, he should have guessed that I would not rescue him anyway, but it turned out to be Miss Su's temporary idea...... However, Aunt Xiang, you have a wrong sentence, the Su family has had good food and clothing over the years, and their lives have been rich all because of Su Changyi's corruption and bribery, and there are many people in the Su family who rely on Su Changyi's name to do evil, so it is a bit far-fetched to say that the Su family is innocent. ”
Hearing Zhao Junchen say this, Su Xiuning and Aunt Xiang were shocked.
Could it be that Zhao Junchen was not even willing to rescue the Su family?
However, Zhao Junchen changed his words and said: "Of course, if it is just because of this, it is a bit too much to make the Su family a pariahs for generations and never come out. For Miss Su's sake, when this limelight passes, I will find a way to restore the Su family's freedom, so that they will not be assigned to the frontier and become pariahs. ”
Seeing Zhao Junchen's assurance, Su Xiuning and Aunt Xiang were immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly saluted Zhao Junchen to thank him.
Especially Su Xiuning, after some ups and downs, now seeing that Zhao Junchen treated her so kindly, he didn't ask her for anything, but he was still willing to try his best to help her, and her mood was extremely complicated, and before she knew it, there were two lines of tears on her cheeks.
After Su Xiuning and Aunt Xiang thanked each other excitedly, Zhao Junchen's eyes turned to Su Xiuning and said, "In the future, I will arrange for someone to find a house for you to live in, and I will also say hello to the prison of the Criminal Department, so that Miss Su can enter the cell to visit...... Before the end of the triage of the three divisions, Miss Su accompanied Ling Zun more. ”
Hearing Zhao Junchen say this, Su Xiuning quickly understood what Zhao Junchen meant, and her delicate body trembled slightly.
After the triage of the three divisions, Su Changyi must be a capital crime, and Zhao Junchen asked Su Xiuning to accompany Su Changzhen as much as possible in the last period of time, so as to fulfill the filial piety of his children.
As a result, Su Xiuning's heart was suddenly gone, but his mood was quite calm, so he just nodded and said softly: "Xiuning, thank you Lord Zhao for your success." ”
After taking a deep look at Su Xiuning, Zhao Junchen sighed lightly in his heart, got up and said: "The house should be found within today, before that, you can stay in the Zhao Mansion for dinner, after finding the house, someone will naturally lead you there, but now that I am entangled in court affairs, I will not accompany Miss Su much." ”
After speaking, Zhao Junchen planned to leave the side hall.
According to Zhao Junchen's thoughts, the fate between him and Su Xiuning has come to an end.
Su Xiuning doesn't have too many ambitions, let alone a stalker, now that Zhao Junchen has solved her appeal, maybe today will be the last time the two of them will meet.
Seeing that Zhao Junchen was about to leave, Su Xiuning obviously thought of the same thing, and for some reason he was faintly lost in his heart.
Then, Su Xiuning curtsied to Zhao Junchen again, lowered his head and said softly: "Xiuning said a lot of excessive things just now, and now I only feel guilty, and I hope you will ...... Don't take it personally. ”
Zhao Junchen stopped, shook his hand at Su Xiuning, and said, "It's okay, it's not so excessive." ”
After speaking, Zhao Junchen had already left the side hall, leaving only Su Xiuning and Aunt Xiang.
After seeing Zhao Junchen leave, Su Xiuning's mood became more and more dazed.
Before that, she thought that she was about to become Zhao Junchen's side room, so she made a compromise for the rest of her life.
Now, Zhao Junchen did not show any idea of accepting her as a concubine, but directly agreed to her plea, Su Xiuning seemed to be out of the expected tragic fate, but in the future life has also lost the direction of the goal, but it is even more overwhelmed.
Moreover, Zhao Junchen's indifferent performance also made Su Xiuning faintly disappointed, and when Zhao Junchen raised his feet and walked out of the side hall, Su Xiuning even felt that something was missing in his heart.
And just when Su Xiuning was at a loss, Aunt Xiang opened her mouth and sighed: "This Lord Zhao, the world says that he is an insatiable corrupt official, but looking at his behavior today, he doesn't covet Ning'er's beauty at all, just because of the past friendship between you, you are willing to help, and your every move has its own bottom line of principles, but you are more upright and gentleman than most people in this world!" ”
Hearing Aunt Xiang's sigh, and recalling the bits and pieces when she and Zhao Junchen got along, Su Xiuning said softly: "He is not as unbearable as the world says......"
*
And just when Zhao Junchen and Su Xiuning met, Wang Baoren was summoned by Emperor Deqing and entered the imperial study with the seventh prince Zhu Hejian to face the saint.
After entering the imperial study, the two saluted to Emperor Deqing, and Emperor Deqing seemed to be in high spirits, not only did he quickly exempt the two of them, but also asked the eunuch in the imperial study to bring a stool for Wang Baoren to sit on.
Seeing Emperor Deqing's performance like this, Wang Baoren couldn't help but be a little flattered, and only felt that Emperor Deqing valued him.
After Wang Baoren sat down respectfully, Emperor Deqing had a more and more kind expression, and asked with a smile: "Wang Aiqing rushed all the way from Yingtianfu to the capital, I'm afraid it was very hard, right?" ”
Wang Baoren got up and replied: "Back to Your Majesty's words, the minister's body is still healthy, although he is running all the way, but he doesn't feel happy at all, but when the old minister went to the capital, he encountered a fire on the way, and several smugglers in charge of escorting all died in the fire, but he failed His Majesty's holy hope, and asked His Majesty to punish him." ”
Emperor Deqing said disapprerovingly: "It's no wonder that Wang Aiqing is not responsible for this matter, no one can think of a fire, not to mention that those smugglers have committed serious crimes, not only evading taxes and silver, but even plotting to assassinate the imperial court, sooner or later it will be a capital crime, I naturally will not blame you for this matter." ”
Seeing that Emperor Deqing was so considerate of himself, Wang Baoren was even more overjoyed and hurriedly thanked Emperor Deqing.
At this moment, Zhu Hejian, the seventh prince, suddenly interjected: "I also hope that my father knows that although Wang Taishi is already at the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, he is still energetic and vigorous, and he actually rode all the way to the capital. ”
Emperor Deqing looked at Wang Baoren with interest and said, "Oh? Wang Aiqing's body is so strong? Can you ride all the way to the capital? It seems that I only let Wang Aiqing serve as the crown prince and prince, but it is a bit of a waste. ”
Seeing that Emperor Deqing seemed to be planning to further reuse himself, Wang Baoren was happy again, but his expression was still one of pampering and not shocked, and he replied: "Everything is arranged by Your Majesty, whether Your Majesty asks the minister to assist His Royal Highness the Prince, or let the minister take charge of other things, the minister will be responsible and serve wholeheartedly." ”
Emperor Deqing nodded with satisfaction, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Speaking of which, I am not very satisfied with the three law divisions during this time, Wang Aiqing should have also heard about the assassination of Zhao Junchen, the head of the household department, the impact of this matter is extremely bad, I have repeatedly ordered the three law divisions to solve the case as soon as possible, but now nearly three months have passed, not to mention that the three law divisions have solved the case, but they have not even found any useful clues, but I am deeply disappointed...... Well, Wang Aiqing will not only assist the prince in the future, but also take charge of the affairs of the three law divisions by the way? The three law divisions are not good during this time, and it is also because they are not convinced by each other and do not cooperate, and they need a highly respected and capable court minister to manage it in a unified manner, so that they can work together and communicate with each other, according to me, Wang Aiqing is a good candidate. ”
As Emperor Deqing's words fell, Wang Baoren's heart was full of incredulity.
The Three Law Divisions are the collective names of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Criminal Department, and the Dali Temple, all of which are powerful yamen, if Wang Baoren has the authority of these three major yamen, then he can immediately get the power influence that is not inferior to the cabinet ministers!
For a while, Wang Baoren only felt that happiness came too suddenly, and he could no longer restrain the joy in his heart, and hurriedly assured Emperor Deqing: "Your Majesty rest assured, the minister will definitely do his best to do things, and will never let His Majesty down." ”
Emperor Deqing nodded with a smile and said: "Wang Aiqing's ability, I also know it in my heart, and I can rest assured that you will take charge of the three law divisions...... However, the top priority is Zhao Junchen's assassination case, if you can solve this case as soon as possible, it will give me a face, which shows that I know how to use people...... At that time, even if I further reuse you, no one will be able to find fault, speaking of which, there are now six cabinet assistants, even if one more is added, it is not unavoidable......"
Hearing Emperor Deqing say this, Wang Baoren was overjoyed again, and once again assured Emperor Deqing again and again.
However, Wang Baoren was pleasantly surprised, but he ignored that there has never been a beautiful thing in this world that falls from heaven for no reason!
Emperor Deqing suddenly showed such kindness to him, and it may not be as simple as just wanting to reuse him!
