He Xiaojun used to be a member of the Ministry of Rites, but now he has actually been dismissed.

He is a member of the Gao Party, and the crime that was found to be that he had accepted bribes to exempt large households from the election of grain chiefs many years ago, and this crime was not extremely evil, and the reform of the official system alone may not be enough to clear his head, but Emperor Hongfu's intention was to use this crime to cut off the treachery of Gao Qiong's remaining party to clean up the Taisun, so He Xiaojun lost his official position, but he was only deported to his hometown, and he did not even bear the punishment of exile.

But claiming to be He Xiaojun's elder brother, He Yifen went to Beijing to file a lawsuit and uncovered a sensational crime.

It turned out that this He Xiaojun's original name was He Yiqin, a person from Nanyang Mansion, his family had a thin property, his father and ancestors were all engaged in farming, because he was talented and intelligent, so although He Xiaojun worked hard, he also did everything for him to be taught in a private school.

At the age of sixteen, He Yiqin obeyed his parents' orders and married his uncle's cousin.

Later, he relied on the name of "prodigy" to win the favor of the local big eunuchs, and he joined the sect, and called the head of the big family "the father", and three out of twenty applied for the township examination, using the name of Wuyang He Zizi, which made the then governor Liu Hu believe that he was from the Wuyang family, and saw that he talked well and behaved elegantly, and actually intended to recruit as the son-in-law of his only daughter.

Although he has already married a wife and has a daughter, He Yiqin is very moved.

So immediately contact the head of the He family in Wuyang, the two sides reached an agreement, the head of the He family in Wuyang He Aiquan recognized He Yiqin as his son, and fabricated the credentials of He Yiqin as his son, He Yiqin changed his name to He Xiaojun, deceived Liu Hu, claiming that he was fostered because he was young and frail, and now it seems that it involves fame and marriage, so he returns to his own family and needs to change his examination status - although this kind of thing violates the law, but it is not a strange thing under the rule of Emperor Guangzong back then, in short, Liu Hu listened to He Xiaojun's explanation, not only allowed him to change his name to take the exam, And after one of them, he really allowed his only daughter to marry.

So far, He Yiqin, who has become He Xiaojun, has developed his future with the help of Wuyang He and his father-in-law.

However, He Xiaojun stopped his wife and married another, he really didn't recognize his biological parents.

In the second year of Hongfu, Henan suffered from a great drought in many places, He's father was seriously ill, and begged He Xiaojun to fund money and grain, He Xiaojun cut off the "relationship" with three buckets of rice, and asked He's father to write down a document, promising not to ask for money in the future with the grace of "substitution", He's father was so angry that he coughed up blood, and he was pitiful and painstakingly raised his son, and even a mouthful of gruel was not rewarded. His father died of illness, He Xiaojun did not invite Ding to worry, and naturally did not treat his father's funeral, his brother He Yi Fendian sold the house to be able to bury his deceased father to survive the disaster year, but so far the family has plummeted, and he has become a tenant to make a living.

In the third year of Hongfu, He Xiaojun's mother was ill, He Yifen had no choice but to find He Xiaojun to take out a loan, but he was coerced to be investigated for blackmail, and his wife was sad and angry and wanted to sue He Xiaojun to stop his wife and marry again, and abandon his relatives, but he was condemned as a slanderous accusation, He Xiaojun actually colluded with local officials in Nanyang to punish his wife to death, and forced his brother He Yifen and his biological mother to be unable to live in their hometown, and had to leave their hometown to find another livelihood.

Thanks to He Yifen's uncle, who is also the father of He Xiaojun's wife, who supported and comforted him, He's mother's condition gradually improved, and the mother and son have cut off news from He Xiaojun over the years.

It is not allowed for officials to stop their wives and marry others, not to mention the crime of unfilial piety to the abandonment of adoptive parents!

To say that whether it is in the past or now, in order to flaunt the family background after the official came out, the matter of having the same surname as the big family is really endless, and it is not difficult for the world to understand

Slandered and criticized, but even the ancestors and even the ancestors did not recognize the strange news of their parents and relatives is really unheard of, in the relatives respect and respect even the emperor must take into account filial piety under the etiquette, no official dares to abandon his parents in a grand manner.

Regardless of how Mama Su insinuated and scolded Huai, her accusations against Lan Ting could not be established, Lan Ting did not abandon his grandmother, Zhao Jiang's family is still rich and clothed today, and prohibiting Zhao Jiang's contact with the Jiang family is a resolution approved by many elders of the Zhao family, and there is also the will left by Zhao Taishi as the basis, under the rules of male superiority and inferiority of women, Zhao Jiang's family must first obey her husband, not to mention that the root of the contradiction between Zhao Jiang's family and Lan Ting lies in the reverse plan of Jiang Chen's father and daughter, filial piety will never advocate that children and grandchildren are rebellious- There is a principle in the law of concealment, that is, except for the great sin of rebellion and rebellion.

Chungui didn't mind Mama Su's insinuations at all, she just realized that He Yifen was not pushing Lan Ting to report He Xiaojun at this juncture.

After a cup of stewed soup, a few bites of fried dumplings, and two small glasses of sake to comfort the busy tiredness of the whole day, Lan Ting said calmly: "I made the move." ”

He looked at Chun Gui's subconsciously straight spine, his eyebrows were slightly frowned, and his body was obviously leaning towards this side, and he was more and more in a state of wanting to say and stopping, he was able to break through his wife's worries, but it was not at all like the cold of being a little lonely when he was fighting with the old businessman, his chest was full of warmth, and his eyes were full of softness: "This case Xia Shaoqing is straightforward at this juncture, which will definitely make the emperor suspicious, but now, you can't just try to be at ease, prioritize, and have a trade-off." ”

Chungui exhaled softly: "Don't hesitate to force the king to make a decision." ”

"Yes." Lan Ting's head: "He Xiaojun abandoned his parents, committed the crime of unfilial piety, and caused a big uproar in public opinion, this is Xia Shaoqing is Xuan Zhutang is making a statement, if the emperor still covers up the crime of unfilial piety, the outline of governing the country with filial piety in the future will be in name only, and the emperor will not be able to forgive Taisun Yu if he restricts He Xiaojun, this is a problem that the courtiers put in front of the monarch, and the law and private feelings can no longer be both." ”

"Aren't you afraid that the emperor will dislike King Zhou because of this?"

"This is an extraordinary law, but it is not a conspiracy." Lan Ting said: "The plaintiff is not instructed by me, He Yifen has long hated his brother and six relatives and did not admit it, but it is a pity that he has no way to file a complaint because of the disparity in status in the past, I heard that He Xiaojun resigned because of the crime, and only then entered Beijing to submit the complaint, it is true that the emperor is determined to eliminate Gao Qiong's party members so far, many people who have been bullied have heard the news of their heads and congratulated, and there is no shortage of cases of accusing this traitorous eunuch of the past. ”

Because the emperor has already ordered that the court will discuss the national policy of supervising the army and assisting the government with the ministers, and Lan Ting has also bluntly said that Xuan Zhutang will not agree with this proposition when he faces the saint.

If Emperor Hongfu does not do public discussion, and privately creates public opinion to force the monarch to regard the crime of misconduct, but there is a public decision in front of the decision, Emperor Hongfu cannot force all his ministers to obey, and the ingenuity of the court depends on their ability, as long as it is not for planting, Lan Ting thinks that Emperor Hongfu will not be angry, at least compared to Yuan Ji and his ilk colluding with Shen and Zhang Liangmen to control military power and make power and chaos in the future, his ingenuity is limited to maintaining the proposition - it is the best policy to establish another virtuous prescription.

Virtuous is also the flesh and blood of Emperor Hongfu, and it is the orthodoxy of the imperial family, which is essentially different from the existence of powerful ministers for personal gain.

Chungui pondered for a long time before bowing his head and sighing softly: "It may not be harmless to King Zhou, but I am always uneasy for some reason, worried that not doing this will bring disaster to myself, but I agree with the words of Don't do it, there should be a trade-off." ”

It looks stupid and naïve, but if there is less blood in the world, I am afraid that there will be no prosperous and troubled times, and the difference between black and white is different, just like whether it is Zhao Taishi or Lan Ting, as long as they want to, they can be completely neutral, no matter whether the grandson succeeds to the throne or someone else is the emperor, Zhao Men Xuan Zhutang can not be affected by the power, but if it is really a "Ten Dynasty Elder" like Feng Dao, what is the benefit of the world?

It's just self-interested.

Chungui thinks that she is a self-interested villain, but she can't stop her admiration for Taishi Zhao and Lan Ting, and her enthusiasm is easily awakened, and she feels that it is indeed a hearty thing to risk her life to do a big job.

She originally wanted to toast three glasses as a sign of respect, but when she swept out of the pavilion, her whole person froze.

Lan Ting also realized the stiffness of Chun Gui and turned his head to look.

After the Flower Dynasty Festival, the spring finally gradually got rid of the forest winter, although quietly quietly, slowly in the night, the moonlight is bright, the south wind is mild, I don't know when the spring of climbing the wall has bloomed the golden petals, but this seems not to be worth making people suddenly look different.

"Huihui?"

"Dazzled." Chungui also knew that his stiffness was too obvious: "Suddenly looked at the root of the wall like a person standing, and bluffed. ”

Lan Ting turned her head again, making sure that it was indeed a spring return, and she secretly felt guilty in her heart: Now that the situation is dangerous, let her be like this.

But he pulled Chungui to get up: "Don't be afraid, I can protect you no matter what, but it's a little difficult to be happy, at least in the near future." ”

When he hugged his wife's shoulder, the familiar feel made Lan Ting feel a little relieved.

There is still a difference between the feel and the look, and the physique of Chungui is slender but not thin, and it looks slender, but it is not skinny.

Worry is inevitable, but it's good that worry doesn't damage the food and sleep - Uncle Zhao comforts himself.

Chungui couldn't sleep peacefully this night, because the "ghost" she witnessed in the yard just now was definitely not her illusion, the woman was in tattered clothes and barefoot, and what made her even more frightened was that her eyes were gouged out and her toes were cut off, just floating in the air, as if her eyes could drip blood at any time...... That's all, the key is that Chun Hui can still recognize the woman's appearance!

It's acquaintances.

The third lady's old maid Yingxian, the Chinese New Year's Eve family change before the year, was investigated by Lan Ting as the maid sent by the eyes and ears of the Duke of Wei, and the said that this maid had been executed by the Duke of Wei, but why did it become this description?

Yingxian is the eyes and ears of the Jinyi Guard, even if the secret agent who exposes his identity has no way to live, why is he tortured like this?

She didn't come out of nowhere!

Then there are only two possibilities for Yingxian's "manifestation", either they are obsessed and believe that Lan Ting is a mortal enemy with her, or they know her abilities, so they came to see her.

This night was quite tormented by the return of spring.

When I woke up in the morning, I saw that the terrible Yingxian was indeed standing by the bed, Chungui was fortunate that he was not really asleep, otherwise he was frightened at first glance and was afraid that he would have to kick Ju Xifei, who came to wake her up, and then fell, she glanced at Yingxian without resentment, and called out in her mind, and Demei was jealous and Ju Xi served to wash and change clothes, but there was such a soul shadow in front of her, which was not much better than Renbi, which really made the grandmother difficult to swallow.

"No appetite, no appetite, let's take these." Chungui was crooked on the kang bed, sighing at the sumptuous breakfast table.

Ju Xi suddenly perked up: "Grandma has no appetite? Isn't Mo pregnant? ”
