80: Downgrade
After all, they have the same surname Shangguan, and it is impossible for her sister to frame her.
"You need to write a letter to Zhan Sheng." Concubine Xian said as she handed the pen and paper through the crack in the iron prison.
"Zhansheng? Can he save me? ”
Zhan Sheng met her the year before last.
At that time, Zhan Sheng was just a poor and sour talent who went to Beijing to take the exam, all the silver on his body was stolen by thieves, and he couldn't even eat, and the dignity of a scholar was there, even if he was hungry and sticking to his back, he could only pretend to be calm and walk on the street, looking at the steaming buns, indifferent.
Fortunately, he later met Shangguan Ruyi, who not only borrowed him silver taels, but also invited him to his small house on West Street for him to live temporarily.
If it weren't for Shangguan Ruyi, Zhan Sheng would have starved to death on the streets, and he would have been reborn.
It's just that Zhan Sheng is just an insignificant position in the Ministry of War, how can he have the ability to save himself from the prison.
"If you believe in my sister, write as I say, and give me another piece of your personal belongings, so that Zhan Sheng will know at a glance that this is written by you, otherwise I can only love my sister."
Concubine Xian looked sorry, turned around and pretended to leave.
As she expected, Shangguan Ruyi hurriedly stopped her, "Sister, wait, how can my sister not believe you, my sister said, how do you want me to write this letter, my sister will do it." ”
Shangguan Ruyi said as he placed the paper and pen on the stone bed in the cell, and picked up the pen to write.
A week later, after the prime minister, Liu Qingyun, received a letter from his niece Liu Yunxi, who was imprisoned in the prison, he returned to the court a week earlier after the one-month trip.
With Liu Qingyun's return, there was also a gift from the leader of the Qiang people in the Western Regions, and expressed his willingness to return to the Xia An Dynasty, as a state of the Xia An Dynasty, pay taxes to the Xia An Dynasty every year, and promise not to disturb the stability of the border people of the Xia An Dynasty.
When the emperor heard this, he praised Liu Qingyun for being a rare virtuous appearance, and the emperor's laughter came from the imperial study.
But then it came to an abrupt end, and the emperor looked at Prime Minister Liu with a sad face, "Prime Minister Liu, I know that you are dedicated to the society and the people, but what happened in the palace some time ago, I estimate that you should have heard about it, I have a headache now and don't know what to do, Prime Minister, what do you think I should do?" ”
Liu Qingyun knelt in the imperial study, lowered his head, and replied, "What the emperor should do is not what the minister should say, but no matter what the emperor chooses in the end, the minister believes that the emperor must have his own reasons."
It's just that the minister is old, and there are no other heirs under his knees, and he has watched Yunxi grow up over the years, treating him as his own, and I hope that the emperor will remember that the minister has no merit and hard work, and he has worked hard for the emperor for His Majesty for many years, and he can give her another chance. ”
Saying that, Liu Qingyun kowtowed several times, he was already a sixty-year-old man, received the letter, and hurried back all the way, relying on his friendship with the Qiang people in the Western Regions for many years, thinking of recovering the Qiang people in exchange for Liu Yunxi's peace.
Tired and tired, the whole person is a lot haggard, and he looks more like an old man in his seventies.
The emperor was really a little unbearable, and hurriedly called Father-in-law Mo, "Quickly help the prime minister up, the prime minister is old, quickly give the prime minister a seat." ”
Gonggong Mo helped Liu Qingyun up, and the little eunuch moved the mahogany seat behind the prime minister.
After helping the prime minister sit down, Grandpa Mo brought another cup of tea and served, "The prime minister still needs to take care of his body, he is old, but don't always be so easy to get emotional." If you fall, where will the emperor find a virtuous man like you who thinks about the emperor like you? ”
Liu Qingyun stabilized his mood when he heard this, took a sip of tea, and waited for the emperor's decision.
Seeing that the emperor was a little hesitant, he picked up the teacup and took a sip and put it down, and just as he was about to speak, he picked up the teacup and drank it again.
Finally, the emperor still opened his mouth, "In the case of the salt lord, the prince has almost investigated it, and there is indeed no substantive evidence pointing to Liu Concubine, but Liu Concubine has no way to prove that she has nothing to do with the salt lord and Shangguan Ruyi."
I read that the prime minister has been running for Jiangshan Sheji for many years, and temporarily pardon Liu Concubine's relevant crimes, but the capital crime can be avoided, and on the surface, I still have to be punished, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public. ”
Liu Qingyun bowed his head and was grateful, "But listen to the emperor." ”
For Liu Qingyun, as long as Liu Yunxi does not die, there will be a day when he will turn over.
The emperor took another sip of tea and said slowly, "In this way, if Concubine Liu is reduced to a permanent presence, I can promise the prime minister that as long as she is not in the palace to harm her, I will let her live a peaceful life." ”
Liu Qingyun knelt on the ground, "Emperor Xie opened the Internet, and the minister knew that this girl had been used to being willful since she was a child, and now she can only be demoted, and the old minister is already grateful."
Xie Huang Longen, the minister retired first, I don't know if I can let me visit Concubine Liu before returning home, oh no, Liu Chang is here. ”
"Okay, let's go."
When Liu Xiang saluted the emperor and was about to leave the imperial study, the emperor suddenly said, "The prime minister will have to share my worries more in the future, and I will have to rely on Liu Xiang in the future." ”
Liu Qingyun understands that in the future, his life will be in the hands of the emperor, who will let him, this little girl, be his lifeline.
His younger brother was old and had a daughter, his wife died in childbirth, and his younger brother also encountered a thief on the way back to his hometown to worship his ancestors not long after she was born, and he was killed.
Only such a little girl was left to follow him, and he felt ashamed of her in his heart, so he spoiled and held it since he was a child, which developed this arrogant and willful personality.
He hadn't heard of Concubine Liu's rampant behavior in the palace earlier, but the emperor and the queen mother didn't say anything, and he, as an uncle, just turned a blind eye.
Now that she has fallen into such a disaster, even if the salt lord has nothing to do with her, she has offended people on weekdays, so she was dragged into the water, and in the end, she still has to blame herself.
Liu Qingyun turned around, smiled and bowed, "The old minister must bow to death." ”
When Liu Qingyun came to Fangfei Palace, he had long since lost his previous state. Suddenly, there was a lot of depression, and the palace people also changed from the previous people to empty buildings.
The weeds in the courtyard also grew up to the knees, and Mama Zhang, who accompanied her daughter into the palace, walked out with a basin of dirty water, and knelt down the moment she saw him.
"Woo, Prime Minister, you can count it back, Miss has suffered a lot this time, she can't eat or sleep well in the prison, and she has lost a lot of weight. You have to make the decision for Miss, it's all to blame on the Shangguan family, we are inseparable from them. ”
As soon as Mama Zhang finished speaking, Liu Qingyun slapped Mama Zhang's face, she was haggard, and she slapped it hard, and her body almost didn't stand firm, and she almost fell down.
