The emperor was silent for a long time, looked down and saw the painting that made people's hearts ache so much that he couldn't breathe, raised his hand and stroked it gently, his hands were trembling.

After a pause, his tone was sad and self-reproachful, "God, I can't stand you and the girl." She was blind and helped me, an old man, and contributed money and efforts to relieve the siege, but I couldn't give it to her...... It's fair. ”

Since his accession to the throne, the emperor has been a fair and benevolent king, and it is obvious to all from top to bottom.

Song Zhengtian knelt on the ground, his head on the ground, trembling and choking slightly, and did not say a word.

"The emperor is serious, you have always loved the people like a son, but there are some ghosts who obviously eat the king's Lu but don't know how to do things with their hearts, they are insatiable, and they are ruthless. They have lived up to the emperor's trust and love. ”

Cui Xiangye comforted with affection.

"Aiqing, I ordered you to privately send someone to investigate the Geng family, but I will not give you an edict, and if you fail, I will not admit it, just like Zhong Xuan back then, he died in vain, and I can't avenge him. Are you still willing to do it? ”

"The old minister is willing to die for the emperor, loyal to the king, for the country and the people, the old minister is willing."

Cui Xiangye immediately knelt down, nodded his head to the ground, and made a sonorous remark, he had finally waited for this opportunity in his lifetime.

Song Zhengtian raised his head and wanted to ask for orders to investigate the Geng family, even if it cost him his life.

The emperor raised his hand to stop him, "Zhengtian, you can help Xiangye to check in private, but your main task is to help me watch the household, and you can't let the moths eat up all the family resources, no matter how cheeky I am, I can't take the girl's money to fill the hole for the rest of my life, this makes no sense." ”

The voice was full of exhaustion and anger, as well as deep helplessness and unwillingness.

"Oh, the minister obeys."

"Gonggong Li, let the Ministry of Rites draw up Mrs. Song's edict and Fengguan Xia to show her reward, and let Brother Hao earn it for her when she is young. That's all I can give, hehehe! ”

He smiled self-deprecatingly, his daughter almost died, and he gave him an order, how ironic.

"Whoa."

Gonggong Li answered.

"Thank you for the emperor's commendation."

"Thank you, I'm very ashamed, Zhengtian, the situation in the northwest is not optimistic, the old marquis is old, and he can no longer deter the Tatar country. Perhaps there will be a fierce battle in winter, and the collection of arrears of the household department should be as soon as possible. ”

The emperor was worried, the treasury was empty, and he wanted money everywhere, but seeing that there was going to be a war, and there was no supply of food and grass, what would the soldiers eat, would they go to war hungry and swing around?

"Yes, the minister will definitely collect the money for you."

Song Zhengtian gritted his teeth and made a wish.

"As for the affairs of the Geng family, let it be handed over to Dali Temple to investigate, since the affairs of the Song family are investigated like this, then the Geng family should also be investigated."

The emperor made it clear that he meant to shirk it, but the Song family didn't find out, and the Geng family couldn't find out either.

I am neither upactive nor partial, you can toss it yourself.

In fact, it is already eccentric, but the Yang family has a three-grade fate.

This edict is not that your husband will definitely get the phoenix crown xia curtain if he has a few official positions, but it is not the case, the third grade will only give the phoenix crown xia curtain. It is a crown of three dragons and phoenixes.

This one is to ask the gentlemen to take the initiative to ask for the seal, and not to show the emperor's mood; The second is what the emperor used to reward officials and give you face. At the same time, he took the order to hand over the sign to the palace to see the ladies and nobles in the palace.

Ladies of the same rank who do not have a brand can't enter the palace directly, you need to find indirect help from others with a brand, the palace is not your vegetable field, you can go if you want to.

Therefore, this edict is very precious, the emperor is very stingy with the issuance of the edict, it is a form of rewarding officials in the court, it is a glory, and it will not be issued casually.

The Yang family has a decree, that Mrs. Geng is of a higher rank than her, and the queen's biological mother does not have a decree, and every time she enters the palace, she uses the brand of his old lady, which can be seen.

"Yes."

Only then did everyone retreat, and Marquis Yang had already gone back, he entered the palace The emperor didn't ask about it, he discussed the situation at the northwest border pass, but outsiders didn't see it that way, thinking that he was reprimanding the old marquis, but it wasn't.

Out of the palace, Cui Hao also wiped his sweat, "Is this a blind eye?" ”

"Well, forget it, we didn't admit it, but the emperor didn't ask."

Song Zhengtian pinched the corner of his clothes and chuckled, and he was a lot more relaxed.

"Oh, in fact, it's still biased towards us, my mother-in-law has been given a fate, but the Geng family has nothing real to comfort us."

"Yes, there are some things that can't be said explicitly, but they can only be understood but not spoken, this is the way of the monarch and the minister, you have to learn a lot, you can't be a roundworm in the emperor's belly, that will make the emperor afraid that sooner or later you will die; For example, the Geng family knows the emperor too well, and they will kill themselves if they do too much injustice.

The second can not completely understand the emperor's meaning, everything must be done in moderation, just like you are in charge of the house's affairs, the easy to use steward is always loyal, will make mistakes but will never let you down, less dialing will be all the way. ”

Song Zhengtian used his years of experience as an official to raise his son-in-law.

"The son-in-law has been taught."

Cui Hao saluted respectfully, as if he understood something.

"Write it down carefully, this is your father-in-law's many years of experience as an official, and you should not take it lightly."

Cui Yu also agreed with Song Zhengtian's words very much, don't underestimate others when you beat your son.

"Yes, my son wrote it down, and I don't dare to forget it."

"By the way, Dad, Lan'er's painting hasn't been taken back yet."

Cui Hao was still worried that the painting of his little daughter-in-law was detained by the emperor.

"Is there anything else you can think of? I'll pay it back to you sooner or later, what's the hurry. ”

Cui Yu rolled his eyes angrily.

Cui Hao pouted and responded aggrievedly.

"Brother Cui, the food matter has to be stepped up, I'm worried that something will happen in the winter."

Song Zhengtian has a strong forward-looking vision and practical experience for many years, and has a hunch that the situation is not optimistic.

"Don't worry, I will personally supervise this matter, and the Qi family is almost ready, and the tenth prince and the seventh prince have also greeted each other and said that there is no problem. There are also relatives who are willing to participate and are preparing, and there is a lot of power in numbers, and I can't make a mistake in contacting them. ”

Cui Yu immediately assured that nothing would go wrong.

"That's good, my family has also prepared a lot, Lan'er said that she was afraid that someone would take advantage of the fire to rob and raise the price of grain, and she was ready to stabilize the price of grain.

Brother Hao'er, she is not suitable to take the lead in this matter, you help to do this, don't mention her name. Now in this situation, it is better for her to be more stable, Brother Yan wrote a letter and immediately took a boat to rush back, you take your brother to learn to raise eyebrows and low eyes. ”

Song Zhengtian replaced his daughter, and his son went up, his daughter's ability is undoubted, but after experiencing the assassination, he is also reflecting on himself, whether he let his daughter be too high-profile, resulting in being assassinated, he is already a person who is married, it is better to be safe and low-key.

"Brother Yan is coming back, great, then we'll do this, and the elders will guide us behind."

When Cui Hao heard that his brother was coming back, he had a smile on his face.
