"The heart of the ......," Fu Yaoyu repeated today's words, and said compassionately, "Then can you also understand my feelings?" My daughter has no intention of surviving, and every time I go to court, I worry about whether I will be able to see her again when I return to the forbidden middle school at noon. ”

He sat up straight with bated breath, erased the desolation in his voice, and asked Fu Yaoyu with a light smile: "Does Qing have a daughter?" ”

Fu Yaoyu hesitated, but still replied: "The minister has two sons, but no daughters. ”

Jinshang turned to look at Sima Guang again: "What about Sima Qing's family?" ”

This question made Sima Guang a little uneasy, and a melancholy color flashed in his eyes, but he immediately replied solemnly: "The minister has no biological children, but there is a son of a clan under his knees as an heir. ”

Today, he looked around at all the officials in the hall and said slowly: "If you had been a father, you should be able to imagine how I feel now?" Princess Yanguo is my daughter, and in the past ten years, she has been my only blood and blood. In my eyes, she is far more precious than the so-called 'pearl in the palm of her hand', and the country is all external to the body, not to mention those gold and silver jewels that are like a passing cloud. And the princess is connected to me by blood, and she is a part of my life. When she was injured, seeing her dying breath and her life hanging by the line, I was really afraid of losing her. If she wasn't there, I would have lost not only a princess, but a broken life. Seeing her in such pain, I could also feel a heart-wrenching pain, and what made me even more uncomfortable was that her pain was caused by my father...... If you have children, how would you feel when you see them in trouble because of your mistakes? The rest of the princess's life is probably out of joy, so I now beg you to give me a chance to make amends, so that she can at least have some peace. ”

This remark showed the heart of the parents, and most of the officials were speechless when they heard it, and the sharpness in their eyes was also lost a lot. Fu Yaoyu was also silent, but Bing Wat bowed his head and stood solemnly, but at the same time, another official also stepped forward and put on a posture of speaking.

Sima Guang.

"Your Majesty pities your daughter, and her feelings are touchable, but the minister also wants to ask Your Majesty, have you ever thought about the feelings of Uncle Li Guo's wife?" Sima Guangdao, and then said angrily, "She is the mother of the concubine, and she also has a parental heart. At the beginning of the marriage granted by His Majesty, I think the uncle and wife were also full of joy, looking forward to the bride entering the door and enjoying the blessings of her children and grandchildren as soon as possible. Unexpectedly, the princess and the concubine were not in harmony, bullied the aunt, favored the ministers, and even the foreign council, all of whom were stunned. In the face of such a situation, the sadness in the heart of the uncle and wife can be imagined. Now His Majesty has degraded the horses because of the princess, which has separated the mother and son of the Li family, and the family affairs are in disarray, and the big and small sorrows are lost, and they are miserable. Is this the original intention of His Majesty's decision to marry the Li family? In order to ask for his daughter's favor, can His Majesty ignore the love of his uncle and wife, and force his flesh and blood to separate? His Majesty loves the princess, and the Yang family also loves his son, although there is a difference between the top and bottom, the respect and inferiority, but the love of licking the calf is the same, how can Your Majesty heal the princess's injury with the pain of others? The death day of the Empress Dowager Zhang Yi is in the middle of February, Your Majesty reads the Empress Dowager's old things, and then thinks about the residence of the Empress Dowager's life, can there be no sense of rain and dew, and a sad heart? His Majesty remembered the Empress Dowager Zhang Yi and made Li Wei still the lord, because he wanted to consolidate his marriage and enrich his family to repay his mother's kindness. Now that Li Wei's mother and son have ended up with such a result, can Your Majesty not be ashamed in the face of Empress Dowager Zhang Yi's spirit in the sky? How to repay this favor owed to the Li family? ”

He is indeed a person who is good at being a speech official, and this series of questioning tones increase in turn, supplemented by gestures of raising his arms and sleeves, so that he has no power in front of the emperor, but like a master who teaches students, and what he says sounds reasonable, and now he is embarrassed, lowers his eyes, and is silent.

After a slight pause, and without seeing an answer, Sima Guang suggested again: "The minister foolishly thinks that His Majesty should keep Li Wei in Beijing." The princess's house should be filled with people, and those who have never had it can stay in the house, and the furniture and everything will be unmoved, so that the princess will change her mind after being told by His Majesty's righteousness, and return to the house with virtue and courtesy. Otherwise, the princess will not have the ambition to return to the Li family. As soon as he said this, he looked at me sideways, and there was a cold light in his eyes, "And Liang Huaiji, if His Majesty decides to treat him leniently, he can also spare him from dying, but he must be exiled far away, degraded outside, and cannot be recalled for the rest of his life." ”

The rest of the Taiwan officials nodded frequently, and they all asked Jinshang to adopt Sima Guang's suggestion. Fu Yaoyu also seconded the proposal, and then said to Jinshang: "It is human nature for Your Majesty to love the princess, but love cannot be equated with doting. Allowing the princess to disobey etiquette and not obey the law because of doting will eventually harm the princess. What's more, the princess loves Bo Qifu, and His Majesty reprimanded Li Wei and summoned back his subordinates, which is a violation of etiquette, and has been laughed at by the Quartet. ”

After some thought, he calmly raised his head and said to the ministers, "I'm sorry, but I still can't do what you want. If I give my daughter another blow like this, she will die. ”

I noticed a change in his tone. The emperor claimed to use "I" instead of "I" in the court, if it was not deliberate, to express the attitude of being at ease with the ministers, or he couldn't help but speak in the tone of an ordinary person without realizing it.

"I got married at the age of fifteen, and it wasn't until I was twenty-nine years old that I welcomed the first daughter of Princess Yanguo, and I waited for fourteen years." Imagami said, still in the tone of an ordinary person, "In order to welcome her arrival, I waited anxiously for three days and three nights, and I almost never closed my eyes. On the night she was born, I stood outside the hall where Miao Niangzi was born, waiting, the wind and dew eroded my bones, and I caught a cold. However, I was so happy to see my first child so beautiful and lovely, happy to not sleep for three days, and happy to catch a cold. That night, the first time I saw her, she opened her eyes and cried so much that I actually cried. ”

When it comes to "weeping", he has a different tone. I stood with my eyes down, not spied on his expression, but as if I saw his tearful eyes, I could feel how he now sadly recalled the tears of joy in those years, through his slightly trembling voice.

This slight change of tone was only a matter of a moment, and after adjusting his mood, he continued: "While waiting for her to be born, I thought every day about what else I could do for her besides bringing her into this world. When I first picked her up, I looked her in the eye and swore in my heart that I would cherish her for the rest of my life and let her have a happy and carefree life. Ever since that long engagement with her, I have always reminded myself to be good to her and to do everything I can to allow her to grow and live in peace and joy. And my sadness is that I gave her the greatest promise, but it was a promise that I could not guarantee to fulfill...... Her marriage to Li Wei, I thought it would satisfy everyone and was the best choice, but it turned out to make her so unhappy. My wrong decision has deprived her of her happiness and health, and I cannot make any mistake after mistake, as you wish, to leave her husband, to expel her trusted attendants, and to continue to trap her in this marriage, and to let her life go away in a bleak life without even a shred of comfort. ”

Finally, he took a deep breath, changed back to the emperor's tone, and expressed his attitude again very firmly: "I am very grateful to the Zhongqing family for their attention to the family affairs of Princess Yanguo, but I will not retract my previous will. Li Wei still knows Weizhou, and I will not exile Liang Huaiji again. I am naturally ashamed of the Empress Dowager Zhang Yi and the Li family, and I will try my best to compensate. Whether the ministers laugh at me or accuse me, I don't mind, I just ask you to allow me, the father, to be so selfish in order to save his daughter's life. ”

Today's remarks have come to this point, and the Taiwan officials have no more opinions, not to mention that the words of today's remarks are quite emotional, and the ministers turn to each other and sigh. The officials who were originally in the palace and were in a stalemate with Jinshang gradually began to return to their positions, and even Fu Yaoyu silently retreated to the place where he had stood, and only Sima Guang was the only one who did not retreat, but approached head-on and looked directly at Jinshang.

"Your Majesty!" He called out loudly, his tone was calm, and he implied majesty, "Everyone in the world calls His Majesty 'the official family', which means 'the three emperors are in the world, and the five emperors are in the world'." The emperor regards the world as his home, and all the people in the world are His Majesty's sons and daughters. How could Your Majesty love the princess alone and leave the rest of the people behind? Now there are different opinions and blasphemy, all because the princess is arrogant and fearless, disobeys the orders of the monarch's father, favors the ministers, and contempts the husband's family. A woman's marriage has always been decided by her parents, and a woman should obey her orders, and since she marries her husband, how can she cry and ask for divorce because she dislikes her husband? What's more, the princess's identity is different, and there are eunuchs who bewitch her, the princess can not only blackmail His Majesty to interfere in her family affairs with her life today, but also blackmail Her Majesty to allow her to interfere in state affairs tomorrow. Beware of the change of the palace is the top priority of the ancestral family law, and the lessons of the Han and Tang dynasties must be taken as a warning. Moreover, the Compendium of Heaven and Earth is often not to be confused. Now Li Wei was reprimanded because of the princess, and she was a woman who won her husband. If a woman can overcome her husband, then the son can overcome the father, and the minister can overcome the king. As soon as its source is opened, its flow is bound to be unstoppable, the upward and downward effects will be corrupted, and the customs will be corrupted, how will Your Majesty use the world to calm the country? ”

Then, he put his wat on his waist, knelt on his knees, arched his hands on the ground, and slowly touched the ground, with his hands in front of his knees and his head behind his hands, and bowed to the most solemn bow to the present, and then said: "The minister hopes that Your Majesty will deal with the princess's affairs impartially." If Li Weimeng's rebuke cannot be changed, the princess should also be punished, and the lord should accept it, not without derogation, so that His Majesty can show the world in the most just way. As for Liang Huaiji, he must no longer be appeased, at least degraded to the outside world, so that the rumors can be quelled. The princess is not at risk of being instigated by eunuchs, and His Majesty can also prevent major troubles before they happen. ”

After listening to him, there was no sign of changing his mind today, but he waved his hand: "That's all for today's matter, just step down." ”

Sima Guang did not accept the order, bowed down again, and raised his voice to request: "The minister's sincere advice, please think twice!" ”

Imakami's face turned cold and he didn't answer.

Sima Guang repeated his request several times, but before he could hear a reply, he finally knelt upright and reached out to remove the lacquer veil from his head.

Imakami sneered: "Do you want to resign?" ”

Sima Guang shook his head and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, what the minister asked for was not to have a waist gold and purple and get ahead, but to hope that he could assist a virtuous monarch so that the world would return to the heart. Now the ministers are incapable of persuading His Majesty to abandon his own selfish love and show the world the way of justice, which will inevitably cause His Majesty to be unreasonable and disregard for morality in the future. The minister could not fulfill his responsibilities, and he had no place to be ashamed, so he could only die and apologize. ”

When he heard what he meant, he was shocked and angry: "Do you want to break your head and admonish? ”

He stood up suddenly, but in a fit of rage, he pressed his chest, a painful expression on his face, and sat down heavily in his chair.

At this time, Sima Guang had already rested his head upright on the ground in front of him, stood up, and looked directly at the temple pillar in front of him......

It was just a moment of lightning, and everyone in the hall, including me, didn't have time to react, just staring at Sima Guang in shock, not realizing what action to take to stop him. At this time, a woman's voice came from outside the hall: "Master Sima." ”

In the silent environment at this moment, this call was particularly clear, and everyone immediately raised their eyes to look, and Sima Guang stopped his steps in surprise and looked back at the outside of the hall.

Like everyone else, I was surprised to find that it was a princess.

She was still wearing the white silk single she wore when she was sick, and she was wearing a large-sleeved gown, light green silk, and a thin blue gauze like smoke. Her long hair was draped at the back of her head, and she was plain and faceless, with no traces of makeup, as if she had run out of her makeup.

There was a residual tear stain on her face, she should have shed a lot of tears not long ago, but at this moment there was no sadness at all, her cold and indifferent eyes stared at Sima Guang, she approached step by step, and a sneering smile was hooked on her lips.

When she walked in front of Sima Guang, she slowly raised her right hand, which had been hanging down before, and her sleeves receded from her wrist like water, and a one-foot-tall hanging silk wooden puppet emerged from her big sleeves.

The puppet looked like a woman, and was wearing a green gauze dress similar to the princess's dress, with a flower crown on her head, a mask covering her face, and pink lips and brows, and a delicately painted daughter's makeup.

Facing Sima Guang, who was observing her in bewilderment, the princess smiled faintly, lifted the puppet, and held the suspension wire with both hands, making the puppet dance with her hands. She herself also gently swung her sleeves and walked with graceful posture, like a dance. At the same time, she lightly opened her lips and began to sing a rhyme: "The bun is loose and loose, and the lead is lightly made up." The green smoke and green fog cover is light, and the flying flotsam hairspring is uncertain......"

Listening to the lyrics, Sima Guang's face changed greatly, and he stared at the princess with a frown, both annoyed and embarrassed.

According to the meaning of the word, it is speculated that the rhyme on this "Xijiang Moon" should be a young woman in a green light dress, dancing on the sheng song, and the princess imitates this scene.

Contact the princess who has not yet sung the next rhyme, the woman in the words should not be Sima Guang's wife, if there is a person, it is likely to be a singer and maiko, then, when Sima was young, there was also a period of tenderness related to Fengyue.

Thinking that the ministers also knew the origin of this word, they began to talk to each other, whispering, and some even smiled slightly, and looked at Sima Guang with a playful look.

The princess still held that cold smile, and while manipulating the puppet, she continued to chant in a weak voice like a gossamer: "If you don't see each other, how ruthless is love......

When singing "Ruthless", it may have been intentional on the part of the princess, the puppet first bowed its head once, and then raised it suddenly, so that the flower crown and mask were removed, and the puppet's true face caused many onlookers to let out an exclamation - the head was actually a skull carved out of wood!

The green sleeves were slightly raised, the green silk was fluttering, the princess smiled lightly, pulled the hanging silk, and calmly sang and danced, and the puppet's dancing amplitude increased more and more, and the layers of dance clothes like green smoke and green fog gradually dispersed, quietly sliding off the puppet's body, and under everyone's gaze, as I expected, were rows of ribs......

This suspensory puppet was originally made in the form of a skeleton, with the exact same proportions as the human body, but a little smaller. It turned out that this was the "different" wooden puppet she wanted Cui Bai to make, no wonder Jiaqingzi didn't dare to show me just now.

"After the sheng song is dispersed, the wine first wakes up, and the moon in the deep courtyard is ......quiet," the princess's singing voice swirled in the wide and silent hall, and after singing the song, she pressed the tune again and sang it again.

Her starry eyes were slightly hazy, and her dance steps drifted, dancing with the skeletons she manipulated. And she was pale, her eyes were sunken, and she had only a handful of skinny bones left under her wide skirt, and she didn't look much like the wooden puppets under her hands.

Everyone looked at her with a casual smile and singing and dancing, and no one said anything to stop her, but they just stared at her with round eyes, with a frightened expression, and their eyes were like seeing a beautiful ghost.

And Sima Guang looked at the dance of skeletons in this strange atmosphere, and the fierce look in his eyes gradually disappeared. Listening to the princess's delicate singing voice again, he let out a final sigh and silently lowered his head that had been held high at first.
