Chapter 33: The Square Courtyard
After Du Qi participated in the matter, the emperor issued an order that the Taishi (Ji Huan, an old minister who had been in the dynasty for another forty years) investigate and handle the case, and the right servant shot (Yuwen Jinhan) and Hubu Shangshu (Du Qi) assisted in the case.
After the holy decree was issued, the court immediately discussed, because everyone didn't understand what the emperor meant?
Taishi (Ji Huan) supported the emperor, but why did he let the crown prince and King Yue's people participate in this case, the minister didn't understand what the emperor was thinking.
At this moment, in Ji Huan's mansion, several ministers looked at Ji Taishi, and one of the ministers asked, "Taishi, what does the emperor mean by this?" He handed over the matter to you, but let the crown prince and the people of King Yue participate in this case, in doing so, can you still find out the matter of the uncle's private minting of gold and silver? ”
Ji Huan's face was full of deep eyes, "Lord Yu, please be careful!" The emperor does this, he has the emperor's reason, and as courtiers, we just need to obey! Ji Huan's already gray beard trembled as he spoke.
Ji Huan's indifferent words made the minister called Lord Yu immediately bow his head in fear, what he complained about just now was today, and now he was shocked into a cold sweat.
In the Yue Wangfu here, Shen Yunche was also discussing important matters with several ministers.
Hubu Shangshu Du Qi, an old man of half a hundred, his hair has turned gray. He had a question on his face, "Your Highness, what is the emperor's idea in his heart?" Let the Yuwen family participate in this case, doesn't it make it clear that you want to spare Uncle Guo's family? ”
King Yue turned the jade wrench on his thumb, with a calm gaze on his face, "No, my father did this, not to spare my uncle, but to check and balance, if my father really wants to spare my uncle, then just hand over this case to the prince's party!" ”
Du Qi said with a hint of tentativeness, "His Royal Highness means that the emperor asked the prince to investigate the case, but let the prince and His Royal Highness's people participate in the case, but it is just a check and balance, the emperor is worried that the prince's people will participate in this case, and it will be favoritism, so he sent ministers to join the case, so how to solve this case depends on how the emperor decides, because the prince supports the emperor." ”
King Yue's cold gaze stared at the jade wrench on his finger, and he didn't speak.
At this time, in the Prince's Mansion, Yuwen Jinlast stood next to his father, "His Royal Highness the Prince, since the emperor has asked his ministers to participate in this case, what does the emperor mean by this?" Did you deliberately let go of Uncle Guo? But if you want to let go of Uncle Guo, just let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince handle the case! Why bother, I sent the Taishi to investigate, and found King Yue's people to assist in it. They also didn't understand what the emperor meant.
With the prince's modest gaze, he glanced at Yuwen Jinhan, "Lord Yuwen, my uncle has committed a great crime of rebellion, with my father's temperament, will he easily let go of my uncle's family?" The father and emperor did this, but it was just a check and balance on the queen's party! By the way, we are warned that there are also people with the fifth brother. ”
Shen Yunze admired in his heart, his father was really thoughtful and deep, he knew what we wanted to do? My father wanted to use this case to warn us that the struggle between the various factions should be stopped in moderation.
At this time, in the Jingmu Pavilion, Shen Yunche sent many guards to block the water around the Jingmu Pavilion.
Ziyan told Su Miaojing about the situation in the court, and Su Miaojing just smiled.
She knew from the beginning that the Emperor was a cunning old fox, and she praised in her heart that the old fox had used the art of checks and balances to perfection.
Su Miaojing walked out of the room and came to the courtyard.
She looked at the guards who were five steps away from each other, speechless.
She couldn't help but complain to Ziyan, "Ziyan, do you say that Shen Yunche is sick, send so many people to guard me, you talk about it, I will neither fly into the sky nor escape to the ground, I am simply full of food and support, a waste of manpower." ”
The guards around him heard this, and they were thinking in their hearts, sure enough, only our princess dared to scold Her Highness publicly, and everyone didn't hear it.
Seeing her young lady's complaining appearance, Ziyan smiled helplessly, "Miss, isn't Your Highness still worried about you?" ”
When Su Miaojing heard this, she hooked her lips and sneered, "Hmph! Jokes, worried about me, worried about a ghost, probably afraid of me running away, almost. ”
"Ziyan, go get some snacks, I'm dying of hunger." She looked at Ziyan coquettishly.
Seeing her young lady like this, Ziyan was speechless, and whispered in her heart, Miss, if you use this trick on Your Highness, even if Your Highness is hard-hearted, it is estimated that you will be melted.
Then, she glanced at Xuanzhu, "Xuanzhu, go and bring the book of "Miscellaneous Herbs" that I put on the third floor of the bookshelf." ”
Xuanzhu nodded, clenched his fists, answered with one word, yes, and turned around and entered the room.
In less than a minute, he was out.
He brought the book to her with both hands, "Princess." ”
Su Miaojing took it, "Thank you!" "I said thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Xuanzhu's face was full of respect, "The princess is serious, this is what Xuanzhu should do." ”
Su Miaojing opened the book and read it carefully.
After a while, Ziyan came in with a food box.
I saw the housekeeper walk in, "The old slave greets the princess!" ”
Su Miaojing raised her hand and motioned for him to get up, "Get up!" The tone was soft.
Ziyan opened the food box, and after the housekeeper checked it one by one to see if it was poisonous, he said respectfully, "Princess, please use it!" ”
Su Miaojing took a piece of pastry, tasted it, and found that it tasted good, it seemed to have the taste of chestnuts, this should be chestnut cake!
Then, she read a medical book while eating.
By this time the butler had already gone out.
Ziyan sat opposite her, "Miss, your body is very weak, you should rest more and read less books." ”
Su Miaojing looked at Ziyan, "Ziyan, I'm locked up in this boxy courtyard, I can't get out, and others can't get in, can't I read books and pass the boring time?" ”
When Ziyan heard this, she understood that the young lady didn't like this kind of life of being guarded, and felt like a prisoner.
Su Miaojing put down the book, looked up at the sky, looked at the blue sky, as if it had been washed by water, a few swallows occasionally crossed the sky, looking at the little swallows flying freely into the distance, Su Miaojing had been envious for a long time in her heart.
She sighed sincerely, "Ziyan, you say, those swallows, are they much more free than me."
Purple smoke, if there is an afterlife, what do you want to become?
If there is an afterlife, I want to be one of them, so that I can come and go freely in the sky.
You say, okay? Purple smoke. ”
Ziyan sighed helplessly when she saw her young lady's self-conscious words, she understood that since the young lady married into the palace, the warm and sunny smile on her face gradually disappeared.
Xuanzhu stood aside, seeing that his face was quiet and peaceful at the moment, but there was a yearning in his eyes, yearning for a free and unrestrained gaze, he couldn't help but feel distressed.
