Chapter 305: The Old Man in the Mountains

The ban on the princess's mansion has not been lifted, and there is a storm in the court.

Early that day, Empress Dai pressed Huang Mengcheng into prison on the grounds that he had committed an old crime and added a new crime, and like General Qin, he handed over the evidence of the previous crimes to the punishment department to review the method of disposal.

Some people dared to ask what this new sin was, but Empress Dai said that it was a crime of deceit.

This crime is indeed a great rebellion, but other than that, Empress Dai did not say any other specific reason.

The ministers begged for a definite charge, and Empress Dai only deduced that all of them would be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment, and they would be told by the Ministry of Punishment after they were settled.

In this way, under the pressure of Empress Dai alone, General Qin and Huang Mengcheng, the two most fiery courtiers in front of Empress Dai in the past, were both imprisoned in a short period of time, and the charges were not very clear.

Empress Dai said that she would behead both of them after being convicted, which shocked the hearts of the courtiers from the court and the opposition to the point of beating like hot feet.

So those who have the heart of the Queen Mother can fall so quickly, not to mention other people who have nothing to do with the Queen Mother, or even stand on the wrong side.

Just when everyone hoped that Princess Yuanping, who was seriously ill, would recover as soon as possible and come out to preside over the overall situation, Shi Wang sat in the mansion dignifiedly, not knowing what was happening in the court.

That day, Empress Dai put down her cruel words, and she couldn't tell whether she was an enemy or a friend, so she directly removed it to avoid future troubles.

According to his temperament, he can also guess that Empress Dai's methods to Huang Mengcheng will definitely not end easily.

And just when Empress Dai urged to convict the two ministers, the Lord Wei, who had gone to the north to solve the food disaster, returned to Xingdu with various emerging eating practices.

His strange methods, novel ingredients, and unique taste made Empress Dai, who had been shrouded in haze for many days, smile again.

"This flavor is a special cold powder in the north, the entrance is glutinous, the taste is sweet, and it is a good thing to relieve boredom." Master Wei personally held the soup bowl and sent it to Empress Dai.

Seeing the bowl of dessert with some soup and cut into small pieces, Dai was slightly stunned, as if she had thought of something, and then tasted it and smiled.

"Master Wei really lived up to the expectations of his family, not only solving the people's livelihood disasters, but also bringing happiness back to people. What reward does Lord Wei want? ”

"There's no need for a reward, it's just that Weichen met a person on the way to the capital, saying that it was the old acquaintance of the Queen Mother. So he had the courage to bring him back together, I don't know if the Queen Mother will see it? ”

Empress Dai was puzzled, she didn't have any old knowledge that was not in Beijing, where was there any truth that she met on the side of the road.

She thought for a while, and when she saw that the guards and soldiers in the court were on duty, she asked him to bring the man, and wanted to see who it was.

So, a handsome scholar in his twenties walked slowly from outside the hall, looking directly at Empress Dai with the vigor and vitality unique to young people.

When Empress Dai saw his face, it seemed a little familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him.

The ministers present, seeing the Queen Mother, all looked down at the ground, not daring to look directly into her eyes.

But it is rare for this person to be so bold.

"Are you ......" Empress Dai was a little puzzled.

"Sister Wei doesn't know me anymore?" The scholar smiled and said, "I'm Fugui." ”

When those present heard the name, they couldn't help but let out a sneering sound.

Empress Dai suddenly realized that she walked off the stage to see him: "Is it Fugui?" I haven't seen you all these years, and you've grown so big. ”

She smiled and looked Fugui up and down, and the corners of her mouth revealed real happiness and happiness.

"After seeing Dai, he was happy, and Weichen was relieved."

Empress Dai praised Master Wei, and he withdrew.

"By the way, why isn't Brother Mingli here, isn't he also an official of the imperial court?"

Hearing this, Empress Dai's face stiffened.

is really a country person, even now, she still doesn't know Shi Wang's identity, and she still calls her brother Mingli, and even Fang Cai, she also calls herself Sister Wei, not the Queen Mother.

When the ministers saw that this Fugui stepped on the queen mother's thunder so quickly, they were suddenly shocked, and felt that the next point would ignite anger.

Who knows, Empress Dai just looked a little embarrassed, so she ignored the matter and asked him to go aside and wait first, and then talk to him in detail after going to the court.

When he was done, he asked him how he came to Hindu.

It turned out that Aunt Niu was unwell the year before last and gradually lost her popularity, so she went. Within a few months, Fugui's father also went, and Fugui was the only one left in the family.

Most of the people in the village went to the city to open shops, and less stayed in the village to farm, so Fugui also left Bi'an Village and traveled everywhere to teach for a living.

Recently, I was resting in a village in the north, and I happened to meet Master Wei who came there.

After the two talked, they became friends, and after going back and forth, they asked how the saint was doing today, and Fugui realized that the original Brother Shang was gone, and Sister Wei had become Brother Shang's wife, and now she was in charge.

And when I asked Brother Ning, Brother Ban and Brother Mingli again, Master Wei couldn't say.

Empress Dai felt a little sad about Aunt Niu's death, but it was not very serious.

"So what are you going to do in the future? If you don't open a school in Hindu, you can make a living from it. ”

Fugui shook his head and refused: "I just came to enjoy the style of Xingdu, and by the way, I met my brothers and sisters who I haven't seen for many years, and I will soon go to other places to continue teaching and educating people." With this experience, I was able to tell the students more about the outside world. They mostly stayed in the mountains and wilderness, and did not have the opportunity to come to Hindu or other places. It is also my blessing to be able to show them a little bit with my meager strength. ”

Empress Dai's impression of Fugui stayed in that childhood when she was reading books, and when she returned to Bi'an Village before, she didn't accompany her, and she suddenly saw him have such ambition, which was rare.

"In this case, the mourning family will order someone to go to Tai Academy to bring more books, so that you can bring them, and let those children know the truth together."

Fugui thanked her for her kindness, but when she heard Sister Wei call herself mourning, she still felt a little uncomfortable.

"By the way, is Brother Mingli also in Hindu, I haven't seen him for a long time, is he already a general?"

Empress Dai choked up, didn't reply to him, took a sip of tea, and asked people to take him to the princess's mansion to have a look.

"It turns out that you are talking about Princess Yuanping, I have been an official for a short time, and I really don't know much about these past events." Master Wei was ordered to take Fugui to the princess's mansion and explained to him along the way.

Fugui was also surprised, he didn't expect that after so many years, everyone had changed so much, and even the gender had changed.

"I think at the beginning, Ming left my brother...... No, Sister Wang's favorite meal is my mother's cooking, but now, even if my mother wants to set up another table for them, there is no chance. ”

When Master Wei saw that his words were earnest, he suddenly remembered something.

"I haven't been back to the capital for a while, but I know what the situation is like in the capital. When you meet the princess, can you help me pass on a few words? ”

Fugui was puzzled: "With the friendship between you and me, naturally you don't have to be polite, but why didn't Brother Wei tell her himself?" ”

Master Wei smiled awkwardly.
