Chapter 346: Argument
Xie Shiyun took a group of people to visit Zhenguogong, and after being informed by the doorman, under the leadership of the housekeeper, they came to the hall of the house.
"Long time no see." Zhen Guogong happily got up and greeted them happily.
"I brought some small gifts with my visit today, and I hope you can accept them."
Xie Shiyun looked at her, and Fei Yu took out a sandalwood box, the exquisite and elegant carving on the surface of the box must be a precious thing.
"I heard that in the past few days, Her Royal Highness the princess has encountered an accident, and rumors have spread in the city, all of which are slandering your reputation one after another."
Hearing Zhen Guogong mention this, Xie Shiyun sighed faintly: "This matter is a long story. ”
Xie Shiyun told Zhen Guogong about what happened around her in these days.
When he heard this, he obviously felt that someone was deliberately trying to frame her.
"Justice is at ease in people's hearts, don't care about gossip." Zhen Guogong believed in Xie Shiyun's innocence, which moved Xie Shiyun a little.
The corners of her mouth are hooked in a shallow arc, with mixed tastes.
"Zhen Guogong, there are many discussions about my sister in the court today, and you can stand up and speak for your sister, I am really grateful." Xie Wen saluted to the Zhenguo Gong to show his respect for him.
That's not true. Truth and falsehood are at ease in people's hearts, and whether you believe it or not depends on whether you are blinded by some people. ”
A few people talked in the Zhenguo Mansion before leaving.
On the way back, Xie Shiyun found that there were officers and soldiers patrolling on both sides of the street, and for some reason, many people were arrested.
"What the hell is going on?" Xie Shiyun was puzzled and sent Feiyu to inquire with the owner of the nearby stall.
"The princess has returned in the past two days, and there have been a lot of gossips about her in the city, and the top can't stand it anymore, so I am afraid that I will blame myself, so I hurriedly stepped up patrols and arrested all the people who chewed their tongues."
The boss shook his head helplessly, and when he saw a group of officers and soldiers passing by, he hurriedly kept silent.
Fei Yu learned about the situation and informed him as soon as possible.
"Add fuel to the fire." Xie Shiyun's three steps were regarded as two steps, blocking the way of the group of officers and soldiers.
The soldiers at the head thought it was ordinary people at first, but just wanted to expel it, but when they found out that it was Xie Shiyun, they were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
"The villain has eyes, not Taishan, please spare the little one this time."
Xie Shiyun was expressionless, glanced at the imprisoned people, and ordered, "Let them all go." ”
The officers and soldiers kneeling on the ground were all stunned, looking at each other and not moving.
The arrest of these people is an order from above, if it is really so easy to let go, how should I explain it when I go back?
"Qing is self-purifying, you are doing this, it is nothing more than covering your ears and stealing the bell, but it is smearing the image of this princess among the people."
The pedestrians who came and went around looked like Xie Shiyun. They all stopped to watch and whispered.
"If you haven't done something, you're not afraid of what others will say. Even if rumors are wantonly spread, it does not mean that they are facts. ”
The officers and soldiers hesitated, and under the pressure of Xie Shiyun's momentum, they had to make a choice.
Watching the arrested people untie the ropes one by one, Xie Shiyun breathed a sigh of relief and felt the need to intervene in the development of this situation.
"Don't worry, when the time comes, when you go back, you will say that it is the order of this princess, and they will naturally not punish you."
For those officers and soldiers, Xie Shiyun knows the roots.
Everyone just wanted to beg for food, and she didn't mean to be embarrassed.
"Thank you, Your Highness Princess." They kowtowed again and again to thank them, and only got up to leave when Xie Shiyun flicked his sleeves.
Everyone saw her behavior in their eyes, and gradually developed a good impression of Xie Shiyun.
As Xie Shiyun just said, those who are clean are self-purifying. What has not been done, even if it is deliberately smeared, cannot be constructed into facts.
This time, the people are pondering which of those gossips is true and which is false.
Xie Shiyun hurriedly returned to the palace, and the first thing he did was to go straight to the imperial study.
Coincidentally, Emperor An He was in the imperial study to review the recital, and when he heard the report from the eunuch at the door, he let Xie Shiyun in.
"Shiyun, what's the matter with coming here in such a hurry?" Emperor An He did not raise his head to approve the document, and his attention was obviously still on the government affairs.
"Father, the daughter went out to play, and saw that there were officers and soldiers patrolling the streets, and after such an inquiry, I learned that they were arresting the people who were talking about their sons."
Emperor An He paused, and raised his head without smiling.
"I'm doing this for your own good, royal face, how can those ordinary people talk about it? If you don't stop it, what kind of system will it become? Emperor An He felt that he had not done anything wrong, and instead of a soft policy, it was better to take tough measures to solve it as soon as possible.
"Father, my daughter thinks this matter is inappropriate." Xie Shiyun hurriedly retorted, wanting him to dispel such thoughts.
If you want to win the hearts of the people, you must naturally comply with the wishes of the people.
She hadn't done anything like that in the first place, but the DPRK made this decision. Isn't it to admit invisibly that she is a shameless princess.
"What's wrong? No matter what, it's not as important as face. Emperor An He didn't understand Xie Shiyun's thoughts.
Those gossips seriously hurt the royal family, and it stands to reason that they should be dealt with.
How did he come to her, but he became innocent.
If this is really done, where will the face of the royal family be left? There is no royal law to speak of.
"When the time comes, the people's grievances will only greatly damage the image of the royal family. I also hope that my father will think twice before acting. Xie Shiyun saluted respectfully, and every word was the truth, as if she didn't want the other party to have a chance to refute.
Emperor An He became more and more dissatisfied, and his impression of Xie Shiyun was greatly reduced.
The two were at a stalemate for a while, and even the eunuchs and palace maids standing around could feel the stagnant atmosphere at this time.
"Your Majesty, the queen mother is here."
The sudden appearance of the queen breaks the stalemate.
As soon as she entered the door, she glanced at Xie Shiyun, her eyes full of worry.
"Why are you here?" Emperor An He was slightly surprised, put down the brush in his hand, and the gloomy expression on his face eased.
"Your Majesty, the concubines feel that the princess is also thinking about the royal family. After all, water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat, and the voice of the people is undoubtedly the most important thing in a country. The queen half-knelt in front of Emperor Anhe and pleaded with Xie Shiyun.
"Even you!" Emperor An He inevitably felt angry, and slapped the table heavily, without words.
"Your Majesty, concubines......" The queen was about to say something, suddenly covered her forehead and fell in front of them.
"Queen Mother!"
For a time, the imperial study room was in chaos.
Emperor An He hurriedly ran down, picked up the queen, and roared outside: "Quickly call the imperial doctor." ”
Xie Shiyun didn't expect the queen to faint, and she was inevitably anxious.
She casually pulled a little eunuch who was at a loss and ordered him to quickly find the imperial doctor.
