Chapter 397: Quelling the Infighting
Fang Yuan listened to her rebuttal, although there were some strong words, but they were not completely unreasonable.
Although he didn't believe that the princess had any collusion with the court and was purging his heroes for the court, the princess's reckless behavior was objectively indeed disturbing the stability of the regime.
When it comes to the heavens, Mrs. Yuan, Qin Zhan, and Xu Hua are definitely more loyal and easier to deal with than Xi Benzhen and Mao Bijiang in the cabinet, and the officials of other state capitals. Troubled times are no better than prosperous times, and if everything is tied up and relatives are not separated, it will indeed cause everyone in danger and affect the stability of the regime.
Fang Yuan sighed and said, "Mrs. Yuan, you always like to be clever and eloquent, and black can also be said to be white. ”
Xiao Yuan saw that his tone was soft, so he knew that the limelight had passed, and said softly, "Since I have followed the son, I will be the son of the son for the rest of my life, and I am willing to punish the son!" Just ask the son to think twice, think twice, think again, forgive the fourth uncle, don't do things that make relatives hurt and enemies happy! ”
Fang Yuan put down the joint document, and looked back and forth at Qin Zhan and Xiao Yuan, he could even give Zhu Cizhi, who was poisoned and harmed, a chance to be a new person, not to mention Qin Zhan, who was the closest brother, after all, Qin Zhan did not do anything evil that harmed Fang Yuan's person, "Fourth, you are too seriously injured, and it is not good to recuperate in the Imperial Prison, so release on bail and go back to the house to recuperate!" After recovering from his injury, he went with me on expeditions to Guangdong and Taiwan. ”
When Fang Yuan said this, he promised to let Qin Zhan go, and taking Qin Zhan with him also gave him the opportunity to atone for his sins. Qin Zhan was overjoyed when he heard this, struggled to get up, and received his order gratefully.
Fang Yuan patted him on the shoulder, helped him lie back on the bed, and ordered Jin Yiwei to carry him back to the house to recuperate.
Fang Yuan sat at the table and said to Xiao Yuan, "Mrs. Yuan, the poem I chanted today is not only for the officials of the government, but also for you. When you were in the tooth shop, did you ever think that there would be glory and wealth, and you would have great power? It's just thinking about how to marry a good family and have a stable second half of life, right? ”
Xiao Yuan's eyes gradually moistened, and he nodded, "Yes, I have been praying to heaven day and night, as long as the person who buys me does not want to be a prince charming, as long as he is not old or ugly, he will be satisfied." ”
Fang Yuan continued to ask, "As a result, you have found a wishful husband, and if you are not satisfied, you just want to dominate the position of the governor's wife, right?" ”
Xiao Yuan nodded again, "Yes, what I live in Yaxing is a precarious day, and I am afraid that I will live that kind of life again, so I don't want a woman to snatch my son." ”
"Not only that, but even the family inheritance will be passed on to your son, right?"
"Yes!"
Her attachment, her child's heart, Fang Yuan can fully understand, but understanding and acceptance are two different things, "Mrs. Yuan, there are times in life when you have to have it, and there is no time in life to force it." The so-called harem dispute, the wife is the wife, the concubine is the concubine, even if you lose the princess, the position of the governor's wife will still be vacant, not you to sit! ”
Since Fang Yuan had made his words clear, Xiao Yuan retorted unconvinced, "Childe, is this fair to me?" ”
Fang Yuan sighed and said, "Mrs. Yuan, you are not marrying an ordinary official or a wealthy businessman, but a regent who holds the power of the world, and his words and deeds must set an example for the world." If the concubine can defeat his wife at will, no matter whether the backyard of officials or people is still in chaos? I know that you are wronged and you are unjust, so I put you in charge of the Governor's Seal, tolerate your nonsense in every way, and keep you and the princess on a relatively equal footing, which is also my compensation for you! ”
This is the first time he has had an open and honest relationship with Xiao Yuan, and he also confessed his thoughts to Xiao Yuan, not letting her replace the princess, it has nothing to do with pampering, it is only related to setting a benchmark for human etiquette.
Xiao Yuan heard Fang Yuan's words for the first time, and tears couldn't help but burst out of his eyes.
Fang Yuan continued, "As for the heir to the family business, the so-called concubine is different, if the princess has an heir, the heir must be the princess's concubine. The lesson of thousands of years of blood on the throne is that the sect must not be transgressed, otherwise there will be chaos in the world when the regime changes. If you want your son Fang and the upper position, you will continue to pray to the heavens, there is no son-in-law! ”
Xiao Yuan was already crying and fell to the ground, crying silently.
Fang Yuan wanted to go up to comfort her, but he still held back, "Mrs. Yuan, don't make any more waves, if you provoke trouble again at this moment, you and Fang He will go to Fujian to think about yourself!" ”
His warning was already quite severe, and if he committed another crime, he would exile her and Fang He to Fujian, away from the center of military power, and all hope of competing for the throne would be lost.
Xiao Yuan wiped away her tears, looked up and asked, "What if the princess provokes an incident?" ”
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice, "I will also warn the princess, whoever provokes trouble first, the punishment is generally the same, they all go to Fujian to meditate on their own mistakes." ”
Xiao Yuan responded softly, now that the princess is on the offensive with thunder, Fang Yuan ordered the second daughter not to make any more trouble, in fact, he was helping her to relieve the siege. Now that the princess is about to give birth, it is better to wait and see, and after the princess gives birth, whether she will give birth to a boy or a woman, and then consider the next step.
Xiao Yuan asked softly, "Childe, can you make me stay and serve Childe tonight?" ”
Fang Yuan still cherished her meticulous service on the bed, and the reason why he didn't spoil her all the time was also deliberate. It was really too pampered before, which made her forgetful, lawless, and caused so many disasters. The snub of her is just to make her calm and calm, and have a clearer self-positioning, so as not to cause more trouble.
Fang Yuan shook his head with a hard heart, ordered her to retreat, and summoned the princess and Hu Qi again.
When Hu Qi saw that Fang Yuan ordered Qin Zhan to go back to the house to heal his injuries, he knew that Fang Yuan had forgiven Qin Zhan, and it was his turn to punish the princess and himself.
He knew that he had played too much this time, not only was it useless, but it even aroused Fang Yuan's taboo, and without waiting for Fang Yuan to speak, he first half-knelt on the ground and confessed, "Governor Fang, I shouldn't be involved in these backyard disputes, please punish Governor Fang." ”
Fang Yuan's fingers flicked the teacup on the table, stared straight at the teapot, and said coldly, "Old Hu, since you know that you are wrong, you will demote Jinyi Wei to Jinyi Wei to pacify him, and the official will be demoted to two levels, and he will still be in charge of the guard of the Governor's Palace, as well as survey government affairs." ”
On the noisy side, Qin Zhan was dismissed, and Hu Qi was only demoted, and he was already given a light punishment, Hu Qi had nothing to say, and honestly surrendered the punishment.
Fang Yuan ordered Hu Qi and Mama Liang to retreat, leaving only the princess alone. The princess lowered her gaze and said nothing.
Fang Yuan couldn't help but sneer, "Princess, you have made a great contribution this time, what reward do you want?" Do you want to give you the Governor's Seal of Lady Yuan for safekeeping? ”
The princess heard the sarcasm in his words, this was the first time Fang Yuan had spoken harshly at her, even when she was imprisoned before, Fang Yuan had never used such a sarcastic tone towards her, it seemed that this time Fang Yuan was really angry.
The princess whispered, "Horse, I have been too impulsive to expose the crimes of Madame Yuan's faction. ”
Fang Yuan said coldly, "Princess, I never said that you shouldn't expose Xu Hua's crimes, Xu Hua really deserves death, do you know what is really wrong with you?" ”
The princess said in a low voice, "Xu Hua is Xu Hua, and it has nothing to do with Mrs. Yuan's faction. I shouldn't have used exposing Xu Hua's crimes to bite Mrs. Yuan and Fourth Uncle upwards. Because they are all cronies of the horses, I will cause political turmoil by cleaning the cronies of the horses, and there are rumors from others who think that I am playing a trick to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle in the imperial court of the capital. ”
Fang Yuan listened to her admit that she had made a mistake, and her heart was like a mirror, and she analyzed it like a mirror, and her anger disappeared at once, and she couldn't help but smile and said, "Jiao'er, you know everything, and you still want to commit it?" ”
The princess lowered her head and bit her lips lightly and said, "Do you believe that I am colluding with the imperial court to take the opportunity to purge the cronies loyal to the concubine?" ”
Fang Yuan hugged her and sat on her lap, caressing her belly lovingly, "Jiao'er, I never doubted you, Mrs. Yuan chased and beat you fiercely before, and it was too much. However, I have sternly warned her that if she challenges the authority of your governor's wife again, she will be punished to go to Fujian and think about it behind closed doors. As the wife of the governor, you should be more tolerant. ”
"Since you are the princess of the court, you have received royal etiquette since childhood, and you know that the queen's greatest achievement is not to compete for favor with the harem concubines and defeat several concubines, but the calm of the harem. Have you ever seen the harem in charge of your mother, and the queen of the palace brought the eunuchs and Tian Guifei to fight and kill? There are dozens of people in His Majesty's harem, and there is no such fighting method, and my backyard is only Mrs. Yuan, so you can't take care of it? ”
Princess Kunxing bit her lip, tears rolling down her cheeks. Whether it was during her detention or now, Fang Yuan had always resolutely placed her in the position of the governor's wife, and she had not wavered in the slightest, obviously in Fang Yuan's heart, she was a more important existence than Mrs. Yuan.
The princess whimpered softly and said, "The poem that the horse reads today is really good, but the heart is insufficient, where is the head?" I am also content to have the favor of a colt. I was blinded by hatred before, and in the future, if Mrs. Wakayuan no longer provokes, I will not fight with her. ”
Fang Yuan was very relieved to see that she could be sensible, wiped her tears for her, and kissed her on her cherry lips, lips and tongues intersected, and they did not stop for a long time.
After Fang Yuan's repeated stern admonitions, the turmoil in the backyard temporarily subsided.
