Chapter 19: Missing

Zhong Yi hadn't seen Pei Yang for a few days, and today he suddenly saw him take the initiative to visit. And some happy. But when Pei Yang saw her, he saluted respectfully and said: "The princess doesn't have to worry about that matter anymore, the minister will definitely give the princess an explanation, and also give an explanation to the border soldiers." ”

She looked at Pei Yang like this, and wondered even more, his original respect would not be so cold. It's like they're strangers.

"I'm relieved to hand it over to you, Hengzhu, you will do your best for your father and brother." Zhong Yi knew that the matter had already come to an eyebrow, and with Pei Yang's ability and the trickiness of the matter to the Pei family, he would definitely do his best. She won't have to worry about this matter in the future.

She tilted her head and looked at the respectful Pei Yang, who didn't look like him at all. It seems that Hu Jiashu has gone up.

Pei Yang began to be angry when the princess suddenly crashed into her arms that day. His heart was beating out of rhythm that day. But the princess did not react, but said nothing else. It's as if the princess has never treated him as a man, just a friend who has known each other since childhood. Even the intimate contact will not be tempting at all.

They have known each other since the princess was five years old. Perhaps, maybe there is no such thing as his champion being replaced, maybe there is no such thing as this harmony. Perhaps he had asked the Lord to do so, and the princess would not have liked him.

Knowing that the princess's car was driving in the direction of Hu Jiashu's house, he became even more angry. Now he has come to ask for sin.

"Princess ......"

His words came to his lips, but he couldn't say them. It's not good to say it directly, but how to tell the princess, he didn't even think about it before he came angry.

Directly Zhong Yi then smiled at him with crooked eyebrows, "What's wrong?" ”

She didn't wait for Pei Yang to speak, she raised a finger, and suddenly thought of something, "By the way, when this matter is over, I'll invite you to dinner." You have helped me so much, I should thank you so much. ”

"The minister serves His Majesty, and he can't afford the princess's thanks." Pei raised his eyebrows and took a deep breath. Why did the princess's attitude towards him suddenly change? It made him a little uncomfortable.

However, it is still necessary to ask what should be asked.

"Where did the princess just go?"

Zhong Yi blinked, not knowing what he was asking, "I didn't go out?" What's wrong? ”

"Didn't the princess's carriage just go out and come back?"

Facing Pei Yang's questioning, Zhong Yi frowned, looked at him and said, "You sent someone to spy on me?" ”

The word surveillance made Pei Yang panic, and immediately explained, "No, no, yes, it's to protect the princess's safety." What the princess is going to do, I don't know. As long as the princess is safe. ”

His voice weakened after the word "good", and he wondered if the princess would believe him.

Zhong Yi's dark eyes turned around, and he patted Pei Yang's shoulder with a smile, "Okay!" I don't blame you. Are you going to stay and eat? ”

She doesn't have any strong martial arts guards around her, and she doesn't like to raise those who take care of the home. The whole house is the girl's family, and it's good to have personal protection.

But seeing Pei Yang, he began to panic, and said hesitantly: "No, don't eat it." I, I still have something. I'll go first. And then he left.

Zhong Yi didn't know what was wrong with him? Look at Zhihan again, Zhihan just snickered.

She knew that the princess didn't understand the relationship between men and women. I married Wang Peng because of one thing. When the princess was fourteen years old, as she was the only princess, His Majesty wanted to investigate the conduct of the future colt as soon as possible. So from the age of fourteen, the princess began to choose a son-in-law all over the country. But the only princess of this dynasty has waited for a whole year without a response. Summoned colt.

Most of them are afraid to eat this swan meat. There are also some children of the family who are unwilling to give up their future and the interests of the family.

The princess was furious about this, and said in a fit of anger that she would make the champion of the new department next year. And Wang Peng is handsome and talented. The princess naturally married happily. The Queen Mother also dissuaded her back then, feeling that Wang Peng's family background was too poor, and she was afraid that the princess would be wronged.

But the princess doesn't even know what poverty is, where does she understand this? In addition, the first emperor strongly recommended him, and he also gave Wang Peng the responsibility of serving as a squire in the military department.

The princess was young, so she was deceived by him.

Zhihan felt sorry for what happened to the princess, but the family background of Pei Xiaohou made her really worried. If others are okay, but this one is good for the princess, and it is Jingyuan Hou's family......

In the Hou Mansion next door, as soon as Pei Yang entered the door, he was called to his grandmother's room by Granny Lan beside his grandmother.

Old Mrs. Pei sat down with the help of Granny Lan, and looked at her grandson, who was half a body taller than her. The boy had been with her since she was four years old, and was knee-high at that time.

She sighed, a little angry between her eyebrows, "Your Majesty's eldest princess's mansion is next door to our house, you and I are a fool?" The person who lived next door early was the eldest princess. Pei Zheng didn't wronged you, you bought the house. ”

Pei Yang didn't say anything, so she continued: "As for how you got to where you are now, I don't want to ask. I just want to remind you ......"

"Grandmother, grandson understands." Pei Yang had always respected her grandmother, but at this moment he interrupted her.

Mrs. Pei didn't like to listen to this child like this, and she was even more worried. When the princess came out, she saw what the child was like.

As the only daughter of the first emperor, this princess often followed the palace to listen to classes. Coming and going, young boys and girls, where is the reason for the beginning of the reluctance. She was also young and knew this. It's just that she understands better that the interests of the family are the most important.

"Although the eldest princess has been married once, Princess Pingyang is also the second to marry Wei Qing. Grandmother is not an enlightened person and naturally understands your mind. But the matter of the former colt came out, and the courtiers would never allow the next colt to have real power. Are you willing to give up your future? ”

Listening to his grandmother's words, Pei Yang sneered, sure enough, in this family, everyone cares about the interests and future of the family......

His eyes gradually reddened, and his mouth had a questioning tone, "My future?" Am I not idle now? What does the counselor mention every day, does my grandmother know? Zhongshu Province is the only one, and he has put the advice of the Yuan in his eyes! And I, when didn't I put the interests of the Pei family in front......"

The interests of the Pei family are higher than him, so when did the Pei family give him a home? After his mother's death, he was taken to his grandmother's room to teach. The days when he saw his brother were numbered, and his father had a relationship with him, and he doted on his concubines and concubines. So divided, is it still a home?

His strong tone just now gradually turned into a pleading, "At the beginning, I just persuaded my family's interests to come first, so I didn't go to the first emperor to ask Lord Shang. It was I who gave up on the princess of my own accord, and now, I don't think too much. I just hope to protect the princess and prevent her from being wronged again. That's it, can't it? ”

"Can you do this for the rest of your life? You're going to protect her silently for the rest of your life? Listen to your grandmother's advice, you have no fate. ”

Old Lady Pei persuaded earnestly, but these words were like a dagger that poked deeply into the most painful part of Pei Yang's heart. Pei Yang walked out of his grandmother's yard without saying a word, and returned to his room to send everyone, including Downton, to serve him.

Grandmother's cold water came just in time, and the princess suddenly softened her attitude towards him today. Grandmother knew. He didn't believe it, and his grandmother knew for the first time that the princess lived next door.

Pei family, Hou Fu...... Everyone has their own mind.

He held his forehead and sat on the chair until the next day, ready to change his clothes and go to court.

The case of the cabinet shop was solved, and the accounts of the cabinet shop were investigated. Many court officials were involved. It is common for every dynasty and generation to embezzle official silver.

It's just that this time the amount is huge, and the Holy Dragon Yan is furious and wants all the officials involved to be dismissed. The Empress Dowager did not express an opinion on this matter, but only said that it needed to be discussed in the Chinese book.

In the main hall, Xiong Xiao, as the head of the diehards, was naturally the first to be unwilling, and he listed the past achievements of those corrupt officials. Think they do more than they demerit.

opened his eyes and said nonsense like this, so angry that Zhong Mu on the dragon chair couldn't wait to go down and beat him.

Xiong Xiao is cunning and cunning, and when he sees the wind and rudder, he is a wall grass. Instead of beating him, it is better to convince him.

"This case is serious, and everyone can speak freely. Don't be afraid. ”

After Zhong Mu's words fell, Xuan Wenbin stood up, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that if it is what Lord Xiong said, this ink-greedy silver can be offset with his past achievements. Then collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, I am afraid that it will not be able to offset it. ”

Collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country is a felony that is full of beheadings, and as soon as these words came out, the hall was in an uproar.

I saw that Xuan Wenbin was unhurried, took out something from his arms, presented it and said: "This is a report written by Jing Yuanhou and submitted to the Ministry of War, please read it by Your Majesty." ”

The report was presented to Zhong Mu, and he looked at the words on it and was furious. The corrupt officials of the military department colluded with the army to deduct the annual military expenses, sometimes two percent, sometimes three percent, these silver taels are related to the lives of his soldiers in Donglin and the safety of his frontier! Isn't this a traitor to the enemy!

"Look! See for yourselves! What else is there to say! ”

The newspaper in Zhong Mu's hand flew to Xiong Xiao's feet, and when he picked it up, he really couldn't say anything else.

The minister also discovered that someone in the military department intended to destroy the evidence, but now it has been controlled by the minister privately. Without His Majesty's will, the minister made a private proposition and begged His Majesty to punish him! ”

Xuan Wenbin knelt down and was impassioned.

It is not that there are discerning people in the DPRK and China, but there are intricacies behind those corrupt officials and corrupt officials. It is fatal to sin against them. No one wants to get along with their heads.

But since the former division of the palace has commanded the envoy to be investigated. Some people think that His Majesty has even done it for the Empress Dowager's own family. It looks like it's going to be a big move.

In this way, some people are eager to try and are willing to grit their teeth and stand up. Even Pei Yang, a total of more than a dozen people, knelt down one after another, asking His Majesty to strictly investigate the matter.

Pei Yang held the wat board high and exclaimed: "Your Majesty, since the grandfather of the minister, the Pei family has been fighting the border for generations, serving the country and the king, and there is nothing else to say. But now, some people are corrupt and pervert the law, disregarding the lives of soldiers and the safety of the country. As a member of the Pei family, I implore Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother to strictly investigate this matter! Give the border soldiers a fairness! ”
