Chapter 43: Waves
Jiangfu spring twilight, flowers and willows sing and dance, jade qin and flute.
Most of the first half is a toast and greeting, which is not based on age, but according to official products. Ye Rong, as a general, is also a former celebrity who has won the favor of the saint, so he only needs to take the initiative to toast to the emperor and empress and the prime minister.
When Yu Wen listened to the introduction of the Wu Dynasty just now, there was no woman surnamed Tan who appeared, could it be that the prime minister could worship the prime minister just by relying on the performance of the previous dynasty? When she sat down after toasting Lord Tan, she asked Wu Chao: "Is there anyone in the harem for the prime minister?" ”
In order to minimize the change in mouth shape, the words of the fog dynasty were a little unclear, and Yu Wen figured out her explanation: "Yes, it's Concubine Tan Xian, but I heard from the people in the palace that she was grounded, and the long slave maid didn't know." ”
Wu Chao said that he didn't know anything else, and at this time, the emperor seemed to have a mind reading skill, and said: "During the time when the prime minister wronged the general, Concubine Xian has been blowing wind in my ears and saying bad things about the general. This time he was grounded and couldn't come to the palace banquet, Lord Tan shouldn't be resentful in his heart, right? ”
Tan Yihuan got up: "The minister is naturally convinced, my daughter has not fulfilled her virtuous and virtuous virtues, and she should be punished with a small punishment." ”
"That's for the best." The emperor nodded slightly, and the prime minister dared to sit down.
Yu Wen saw that the emperor was impartial, and the gloom in her heart dissipated, but then the queen's words pointed the finger at her.
"Speaking of which, the prime minister also has a daughter who is like a flower, a lady in the Candle Breath General's Mansion."
The prime minister replied respectfully to the mother of a country: "The minister does have a daughter, Tan Biluo, but she was demoted to a concubine and confined to a corner of the general's mansion for the rest of her life. ”
Speaking of which, Tan Yihuan put on a sad expression on his face, and his tone was so melancholy that it seemed that a sigh was about to come out in the next second.
"Lord Tan knew that his daughter was treated like this, and then he easily listened to the soldier's report, so he wronged General Ye, right?"
"Yes. Not to mention that Mrs. Ye did not hand over the case of human life to the government to handle, and only based on some weak evidence, the minister's daughter was sentenced to a lifetime ban......"
The queen's voice became a little heavier: "Yu, are you guilty?" ”
What the heck? Yu Wen thought: What sin do I know?
She decided to play a well-behaved role first: "The concubine is guilty." ”
"What sin do you know?"
I want to ask you too, Queen Mother!
"The concubine should not take it for granted that she has always enjoyed Ah Rong's exclusive favor." Yu Wen swallowed a mouthful of saliva and pulled the queen into the previous topic of herself.
The queen sneered: "Confused! Generally speaking, Yu, you should punish Tan like this, but why don't you hold yourself accountable? ”
Yu Wen secretly screamed badly, at that time she was so proud because she won a house fight that she forgot to check whether the water was leaking. Speaking of which, if the original owner had been more cautious and tested for poison before every meal, she and Ye Rong would not have fallen into a coma on the spot and almost died.
Speaking of which, she also has to punish herself. But Yu Wen didn't expect that this gave the queen a flaw to find.
The logic that the queen wants to convey is: If she hadn't been biased and only punished Tan Biluo, the prime minister would not have been angry with Ye Rong, and would not have caused misunderstandings, frame-ups and a series of things like drinking and reporting to the official in the future.
The splendid palace, the emperor and queen with a serious face, and some of the courtiers and concubines who looked at jokes coldly, the residual temperature had not been suppressed by such a strong aura.
Ye Rong brushed and wrote: "Niangniang, don't embarrass her." The queen glanced at it and did not answer.
Yu Wen swallowed another mouthful of saliva and licked his dry lips: "Xie Niangniang pointed out that the concubine was not enough, and the concubine returned home to punish herself for this month's moon." ”
"Money is something outside the body, but the minister's daughter has been whipped ten times!" The prime minister said dissatisfiedly.
Yu Wen understood, this time the queen of the palace banquet discussed with the prime minister to find fault and suppress her again. So Tan Yihuan and the queen are in a gang? It stands to reason that it is safer for the queen to choose a high-end white lotus like Su Minqiu.
There's no time for her to wander right now, and the eyes of the hall are almost all staring at herself.
"Yu, can you conclude that the murderer is Tan Biluo through your two investigations? You think it's enough to find out the shallow truth, and you forget about it and don't think about it anymore.
"Tan Biluo is the daughter of everyone, and it is impossible to do such a pickled evil thing; Even if she was fascinated for a while, why did she take her personal jewelry to the person who helped her errand? It is better to take such rootless things as gold and silver; If it was a maid who bought it with her life, how could that finch confess everything without torture? ”
I'm still too weak.
The queen knows so much about it, it seems that there are people from her in the general's mansion.
Yu Wen wanted to say nonsense, "Because Tan Biluo is stupid", but this is impossible: "This matter is not very ...... concubine"
"Don't know?" The empress glanced at the emperor, "So you are greedy for convenience, get by, and convict the Tan family?" ”
"Don't dare to concubine!" Yu Wen walked out of his seat and knelt down, his brain running rapidly, "First, it is possible for the Tan family to be jealous of love, and it is possible to be dizzy and do things that hurt nature; Second, perhaps she didn't have any silver taels on her at the time, so she took off the hairpin and gave it to the finch; Third...... Mother, what's your third question? ”
I have a terrible memory.
The queen didn't accommodate her: "The reason why the Tan family is jealous, isn't it because you monopolize General Ye's favor?" The second reason is also too far-fetched. ”
Ye Rong was upset for Yu Wen: "It's not that she forcibly left the minister in the room, it's that the minister himself wants to stay with the Yu family, and the minister doesn't allocate time reasonably." ”
Silent protests, no one cares. Everyone was watching how the queen beat the poor lady of the general's mansion.
"But Niangniang, there are all the human and material evidence, didn't you send Aunt Cai to witness the review for the first time?"
"What is the use of pale and weak human and physical evidence?" The queen scoffed, "You don't have anything else to argue with, do you?" Since you want to be punished, you will be punished more heavily, just like the Tan family, 'small punishment and big commandment'. ”
Yu Wen felt the footsteps of the two people behind her get closer and closer, and then she was stopped.
"Queen Mother?!" She exclaimed.
The emperor also frowned slightly: "Empress, today is a wedding banquet." ”
The empress, who looked not much older than Ye Rong, had a lovely smile at the emperor who seemed to be close to being confused: "Your Majesty, since the Yu family is also at fault, why only punish the Tan family and not her?" This time a little lesson, the prime minister's mind can always be calm, and the previous dynasty has been harmonious. ”
The latter sentence was said by her low voice, but because Yu Wen and Ye Rong were sitting close to them, they could hear part of it vaguely.
The Prime Minister must have heard that, too.
The Emperor nodded slightly, which was considered acquiescence. Yu Wen sighed in his heart, what a slap sweet jujube is impartial! She's going to be used by the royal family anyway.
"Someone, take it outside the hall, and hit the rod ten times!"
