60, our family affairs, can you agree? The conspiracy behind it.
In July of the 21st year of Wende, heavy rain fell from the sky, the embankment of the Suihe River in Daxia burst, and the people on both sides of the river were displaced.
After only ten days, Jingzhong got the news that the prince of Rui Wang acted willfully on the way to disaster relief, and suddenly killed several officials, and the government and the opposition were shocked, and they condemned him for ignoring the family law of his ancestors and being cruel and unkind.
The prince of Rui has a violent temperament, acts and judges cases according to his preferences, relying on the emperor's favor, taking the emperor's order to prevail, and when he encounters people or things that do not suit his temper, he acts willfully, and even only relies on some things that are not enough evidence to tie up some local officials directly and throw them in prison, so arrogant that several officials who oppose him are killed by him on the spot, making the local officials tremble and everyone is in danger.
When King Rui learned the news, his eyes suddenly darkened, and a thought of "finally here" appeared in his mind.
Sure enough, if the bear son doesn't cause trouble for him, his skin will itch
Then, the imperial history who got the news also played the impeachment of Wei Xuan, the prince of Ruiwang, and the chapters were full of imperial cases. The three princes and some courtiers who claimed to be upright were even more excited, and they fell into the ground one after another. Only the crown prince ran for this, and King Rui also resisted the pressure of the courtiers, gritted his teeth, and excused his son everywhere, and the court was suddenly lively.
Emperor Wende looked at the imperial history chapter on the table that impeached Wei Xuan, his eyes were deep, and then he left it in the middle and turned out a secret fold from the side.
Yang Qing came over with tea, carefully glanced at the secret fold, lowered his eyes and stood quietly aside, vaguely understanding in his heart that the prince of Wei Xuan acted flamboyantly and brutally this time, and he should have been ordered by the emperor. Although everyone in the world scolded the prince of Rui for being lawless and cruel, and the impeachment of him continued, he knew that the prince of Rui would be fine in the end.
A little later, Yang Qing saw the bloodshot prince and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
The crown prince held him up and asked in a low voice: "Father, can you say anything after reading the few pieces of music from the Slow River Prefecture?"
Yang Qing smiled and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, the emperor has seen it before, but the emperor didn't show any intentions, if His Highness wants to know, you can go in and see for yourself." "The prince will know these things sooner or later, and Yang Qing will not hide them, and he should sell the prince a face.
The prince smiled and said gently: "There is Father-in-law Lao to pass it on." ”
Yang Qing responded, then turned around and entered the Taiji Palace.
When the prince came out of the Taiji Palace, his face was a little dull, and when he returned to the East Palace, he saw the crown princess playing in the hall with the eldest grandson in his arms.
In the center of the hall was a soft hand-woven blanket, and the seven-month-old emperor's eldest grandson, dressed in a small dress made of light and breathable silk cloth, lay on the carpet with his small body, revealing his white and tender arms and legs, like a little turtle, lying there on all fours, trying to crawl forward with his belly and limbs. It's a pity that I don't have much strength, and I worked hard to rub out a little bit, but it made me sweat profusely, and my little face was red from being tired.
Meng Yu sat next to her, wiped her son's sweat with a handkerchief, and put a small leather ball with colored bells in her hand on her son's arm and rolled it, jingling to attract the attention of the little guy. Children like brightly colored things, and the ringtones are easy to attract their attention, for the sake of their beloved little ball, His Royal Highness the noble Emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty crawled forward again, and the two white and tender calves kicked hard one by one, trying to grasp the little colored leather ball.
When the prince came in and saw this scene, he couldn't help but be a little amused, when he just walked in front of the mother and son, the bright yellow prince court dress on his body instantly attracted the attention of the emperor's eldest grandson.
"Ahhh
Compared with the eccentric mother who often likes to play with her son, His Royal Highness the eldest grandson prefers a father who hugs him every day and talks to him gently. Every time the prince appeared, he would follow the prince and reach out for him to hug him. For this reason, Meng Yu said very calmly, it must be because the color of the clothes on the prince's body is too bright, so that his son likes to be close to him.
So now seeing the familiar bright yellow, the emperor's eldest grandson was excited, abandoned the small ball that he could never reach, and rubbed towards his father.
The prince cleaned his face and hands with the water brought by the palace maid, wiped the sweat stains, and then sat down on a clean blanket, picked up his son, who was crawling towards him like a little turtle, and helped him to sit down.
The seven-month-old child can already sit very firmly, and His Royal Highness the Emperor is obviously a very pursuing child, and he can't turn over and wants to sit, he wants to sit and climb, and when he can climb in the future, he probably thinks about leaving. As soon as he arrived in front of his father, His Royal Highness the eldest grandson of the emperor stretched out his claws very ferociously, grabbed the silk silk on his father's clothes, pulled hard, opened his mouth and was about to bite, and when he was stopped by the prince, he kicked his chest with a more ferocious leg, so that the prince was very helpless to hold him away.
Meng Yu saw him playing with his son, so she personally brought a bowl of sour plum soup to feed him, let him drink some to relieve the heat, and said, "Your Highness came back a little early today. At the same time, I looked at him again and found that he was in a good mood today, which changed the solemnity of these days.
The crown prince smiled at her, and said softly: "Fang Cai went to the Taiji Hall to see his father, and listened to his father talk about the disaster relief in the Xiazhuanhe Prefecture, because Brother Xuan is here, most of the silver grain for disaster relief has been distributed to the people affected by the disaster, and most of the people have been properly settled, only a small part of the silver grain has been privately swallowed by some local officials, and Brother Xuan is now dealing with this matter." ”
Meng Yu raised her eyebrows slightly, she didn't expect to hear the news. Although the harem does not interfere in politics, there are still some connections between the former dynasty and the harem, and when something happens in the court, it will also affect the people in the harem.
The news that came back a few days ago only said that during the disaster relief, Wei Xuan acted entirely on his mood and acted boldly, and most of the accompanying officials were tossed by him, and even killed people directly when they were in a bad mood, which made everyone cry bitterly, and there was no other news. Now listening to the prince's meaning, Meng Yu has realized something, and feels that Wei Xuan's play is a little wilted.
Embezzling disaster relief silver and grain is a big crime, if it is exposed, it will be a loss of official status or a loss of life, Wei Xuan seems to be messing around, but he is messing around with these things, I am afraid that when the time comes, those courtiers and nobles who impeached him in order to suppress Wei Xuan will be slapped in the face.
At first, there was no news coming, and it should be that everyone didn't want to make a big fuss, so they didn't report it, after all, the officials who could be sent to disaster relief were not stupid, and they were not stunned, and the things inside were twists and turns, and most people were stuffed over and wanted to get some oil and water, just look at more or less, this kind of thing is not uncommon, as long as the face is passable, there will not be too much of a problem.
But I didn't want Wei Xuan, the evil star, to not accept the benefits sent to him, but he was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, how happy he was, relying on the emperor's favor, he was messing around at the beginning, and when everyone found out Wei Xuan's purpose, it was too late.
Meng Yu was suddenly stunned and looked at the prince.
"What's wrong" The prince held the emperor's eldest grandson's lower armpit and taught him to stand, seeing that he always wanted to fly up with his legs and kick himself, he couldn't help but pat his fleshy little buttocks. Seeing Meng Yu looking over, his expression was different, and the prince couldn't help but ask.
Meng Yu shook her head, and finally didn't ask Wei Xuan if he was helping the emperor. As the saying goes, the law is not responsible, since this kind of disaster relief is full of twists and turns, Wei Xuan will not know, but he still chooses to expose it, there are many people who have offended, I am afraid that this is no longer his own meaning.
If it was really the emperor's intention, Meng Yu secretly sighed in her heart, a little worried about Ah Yun. The more Wei Xuan does this kind of offending thing, the more he will not die well in the future, what will Ah Xuan do in the future
After thinking about it, she looked at her husband who was playing with her son and pursed her lips.
Since Wei Xuan left, Ah Wan's heart has begun to go up and down, even if she is tossed by the princess every day, it still can't make her stop worrying.
Wei Xuan would send some news back to her every few days, but unfortunately it was all "An, don't read it" or something like that, which didn't make any sense at all, but made Ah Wan even more worried.
Fortunately, there is also Meng Yan's chatter from time to time to pass on news from outside to her. At that moment, Ah Wan really loved this little chatter who likes to go around gossiping news, and he can always dig out the news as soon as possible, and with accurate news, it is better to know that he is okay than not knowing anything.
However, Meng Yan was not happy, especially when she learned that Wei Xuan could really kill someone, the little girl was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she secretly caressed her heart, trying to remember if she had offended Wei Xuan before, she had to make up for it quickly, lest the big demon king would kill her one day by turning over old accounts, and then she would die too unjustly.
When the news came back about what Wei Xuan did on the way to disaster relief, the people in the capital didn't have a good word about him, they all condemned him for being cruel, willful and reckless, and even Ah Wan, who was going to marry Wei Xuan, was pulled out and talked about, and there were people who sympathized with her and ridiculed her, so that Ah Wan, a low-key person who stayed at home and was silently preparing to marry, became a topic of conversation in the capital again.
For the things outside, Ah Wan is very indifferent, she looks very calm on the surface, only in the dead of night, she will roll over in bed and can't sleep, very tormented.
She knew that Wei Xuan had killed people, and when he was thirteen years old, when he suddenly disappeared for a month and came back, Ah Wan smelled a strong smell of blood on him, and there was still a residual cold murderous aura, Ah Wan had a guess. So this time when he heard about his murder, Ah Wan's heart trembled again, but he didn't react much.
She should have believed him.
Fortunately, Wei Xuan did not live up to her belief this time.
Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, there was news from the imperial court that the disaster relief was pulled out of the matter of embezzling disaster silver, and the people killed by Wei Xuan were all related to this, and a detailed list was sent back to the capital. When Emperor Wende saw it, he was immediately furious and degraded those officials, killed them, and exiled them.
This matter quickly subsided, but Wei Xuan's reputation became even more stinky, and even his reputation among the clan and nobles was worse than before, and the reason for this was that there were too many people involved in the embezzlement of disaster relief funds, and many people's interests were damaged because of Wei Xuan, and they would appreciate him to have ghosts.
Meng Feng looked at the news from his subordinates and sighed slightly.
Those who have become great things since ancient times are not informal. Emperor Wende is a Ming monarch, but he is also an emperor, Wei Xuan chose to become a sword in the hands of the emperor, I am afraid that this life will be more tired, but after his death, I don't know how the history books will comment on him, I am afraid that his reputation is indescribable.
"Big brother, when will Cousin Xuan come back?"
Meng Feng covered the letter in his hand, and when he saw his sister lying next to him looking at him, he couldn't help laughing: "You asked what you were doing, weren't you afraid that he would be afraid of him a few days ago" Saying that, he reached out and pinched his sister's little nose.
Meng Yan slapped his hand away and muttered: "Aren't I worried about Ah Wan, you see, there are five days before the wedding, and he won't be able to come back in time, won't Ah Wan want to make a joke to people."
"No, it won't." Meng Feng is full of confidence, and with Wei Xuan's temperament, he will climb back before the wedding. Although he was quite helpless about his temperament, Meng Feng knew a little about him, and even felt that Wei Xuan was arrogant in this life, even if he was arrogant, only Ah Wan became his magic barrier, making him irreversible in his life.
Seeing his confident appearance, Meng Yan happily asked, "What news did the eldest brother got?"
"Nope"
Meng Yan was furious, feeling that she was being maliciously played by her brother, kicked him, made a grimace again, and said, "I'm going to tell Ah Wan that you are not authentic, and you are actually playing with our trust." With that, he quickly ran away with his skirt.
Meng Feng: ""
After Meng Yan ran away, she went to the princess's mansion next door to find Ah Wan, and by the way, she told Ah Wan what her brother said, and comforted: "Don't worry, Cousin Xuan will definitely come back on time to marry you." ”
Awan: "I'm not worried. ”
"Liar, your eyes are a little blue, you must be worried that you can't sleep well." Meng Yan pointed out sharply.
Ah Wan rubbed her forehead and said helplessly: "No, it's my mother who has taught too many things recently, and it's not easy to digest, and even my mother's stern face is in her sleep, it's too stimulated, and I can't sleep well." ”
Meng Yan covered her mouth and laughed when she heard this, "You are miserable, you let your aunt know that you said such things, and your aunt has to scold people." ”
Ah Wan shrugged her shoulders and decided not to bother with her.
As the date of the wedding got closer and closer, the Princess's Mansion and the Rui Wang's Mansion were nervously preparing for the wedding, although Wei Xuan was not in Beijing, it did not affect anything.
Of course, it seems to have no impact on the outside world, but in private, the eldest princess Kang Yi is very worried that Wei Xuan will not come back, and her daughter will become a joke at that time, so her hair will turn gray. In contrast, Luo Ye is a little optimistic that if Wei Xuan can't come back, the marriage date will be postponed, and it would be better if it could be postponed to two years later, and then her daughter would be able to stay at home for more time.
Ah Wan and the eldest princess Kangyi were both made to laugh and cry by the optimism of her husband, and then ignored him directly, which made Luo Ye a little frustrated, feeling that he was a failed man and would never drink again.
may be to go against Luo Ye, three days before the wedding, Wei Xuan finally returned from the dust. Spoil your wife as ordered
