034 The golden mean

Shen Daochang's starry night trip not only shook Yuan Mingyue's heart, but also shook the troubled waters in the court.

Under the pretext of visiting her pregnant sister-in-law, Yuan Mingyue returned to Yuan's house openly and took advantage of this to live permanently. After returning to Yuan's house, he got another news from Yuan Chonghai: Li Sijin's case was retried.

"Brother, you're not wrong, who dares to retry?" Yuan Mingyue felt that this was not logical at all, under this feudal centralized system, someone dared to question the case approved by the emperor, this is to despise the power of heaven, and he has to go in vertically and come out horizontally.

"Although the presiding judge is still pending, the DPRK and China have been arguing about this matter, and three elders have died for this, if the Holy Lord is pressing and refusing to let the trial, I am afraid that it will damage the majesty of the Holy One."

"But the implications of this case are too wide. First, Guanzhou ordered to fool the imperial court, and then Li Sijin was imprisoned and exiled, and Prince Chun was grounded. Now that almost two years have passed, and the case has been overturned for Li Sijin? How does this end? "Yuan Mingyue can smell the smell of conspiracy, and those fritters who have been immersed in officialdom all year round will not know. As a bystander, it may be sad to laugh at the deer as a horse, but in his position, it is just common sense.

Yuan Mingyue had never paid attention to this outside matter before, but now it is different from the past, I don't know when these things suddenly became closely related to her.

"Little sister, how come I don't know how big of a deal this is! I'm just worried that our family will be implicated, so I have to go to my uncle's or Qi's house to see. Yuan Chonghai is now repentant in his intestines, he acted impulsively at that time, did not listen to his grandmother's advice, waded into this troubled water, and now he can't tell if he jumps into the Yellow River.

"Brother, you can't go anywhere now!"

"Am I stupid enough to go myself? Don't worry, I'll ask secretly. This uncle is still one of the candidates for the presiding judge, can he not avoid suspicion? Yuan Chonghai thought that Yuan Mingyue was worried about the truth, and hurriedly relieved.

"My brother misunderstood me. We have nothing to do with this case in the first place, so what is there to avoid? It's just that the candidate is undecided now, and it is not impossible to wait for work. ”

"What does little sister mean?" Yuan Chonghai has always known that his sister is transparent.

"What are we supposed to do! If the Holy One asks him to investigate the case, then he will investigate it as he wants. If the saint didn't say let him check, then he should go to the court, and he should rest. The most important thing for a courtier is to be obedient and agreeable, not to give advice and defend the country. ”

Yuan Mingyue's words are explicit, that is, let Yuan Chonghai learn to be an old fritter, only in this way is the safest. Yuan Chonghai's body originally had a strong enthusiasm for sharing worries for the monarch, seeking benefits for the people, and winning glory for the clan, but now after a few years of tempering, he has encountered some of the private sides of officialdom, and has become a situation where he sees mountains and not mountains, and sees water is not water, he needs to have a person with a clear heart to remind him, and Yuan Mingyue did this person.

"Is that little sister asking me to be a courtier who does nothing? It's still a camp, a flattering minister! ”

Seeing that her brother was a little angry, Yuan Mingyue hurriedly explained: "My brother thinks it's bad!" What I mean is: the golden mean is also virtue, and it is the utmost care! The people have been around for a long time! After he calmed down, he explained: "Then sister, ask my brother a few questions, and my brother needs to answer them truthfully, should I?" ”

"Can my brother eat a vegetarian meal and live in a mess?"

"No!"

"Can my brother scrape the people's fat and bully men and women?"

"No!"

"Can my brother sell his official beard and bully his superiors?"

"No!"

"Can my brother form a party for personal gain and commit chaos?"

"No!"

"Can my brother collaborate with the enemy and betray the country and harm the people?"

"No!"

"That brother is a good courtier, a good son, and a good father! Why did the minister say it? ”

"This..."

"We are all ordinary people in this world, and being a good official does not necessarily mean throwing our heads, spilling blood, and being vigorous, but more about doing things in a down-to-earth manner. Just like my father, it seems that he wanted us to shine on the lintel since we were young, but did he force us to do anything? He hasn't done anything big, but our family has been climbing steadily over the years, although it is not to the point of being a marquis and paying homage to the prime minister, but it is also considered to be steady, isn't it? I think my father is a great wisdom. ”

Yuan Chonghai savored her words, and felt that his heart was like a veil, and suddenly a corner was lifted, and it became moist in an instant. It turned out that I had turned into a dead end between rigidity and sleekness, and now I have a little clue. But I felt that I had been taught a lesson by my sister, and I couldn't hold my face a little, so I smiled and said: "I didn't expect it, my little sister is really a woman who doesn't let me have eyebrows, brother, I am listening to you, and I have been an official for a few years." If you cast a man, you can hold up the lintel. ”

"Brother, you're still laughing at me. That's a good thing to say, if you don't sit on this bench, your brain won't be tired by it. Speaking of this daughter, who knows if there is an Eastern Woman Country in this world! ”

The brother and sister both laughed after speaking, and the atmosphere eased a lot. It happened that Qi Junmei came in to summon the two of them to dinner, so she stopped talking.

Although Yuan Mingyue used this topic to remind Yuan Chonghai, she herself was not as relaxed as she seemed, on the contrary, it was very heavy. According to the current development of events, there must be someone between Prince Chun and the new emperor, and his father is just a small courtier, at most he will not be reused. But the Shen family has been tied to the new emperor's ship, once King Chun wins, the Shen family will definitely have to be buried for it, and he and his children are also included. Therefore, Yuan Mingyue now urgently needs to pay attention to the direction of the situation in order to make better predictions and ensure that her children will not be implicated. After all, under the rule of the ancient powers, human rights were the most despised things.

In the hospital, Yuan Mingyue recalled her words to enlighten Yuan Chonghai, and she suddenly realized that she didn't know her father so well. After thinking about it, she decided to use Yuan Shiqian as a breakthrough to sort out a little clue.

"Linglong, you go and ask the kitchen to prepare something, and I'll send it to my father later."

Yuan Mingyue carefully analyzed the people in her hands now, first of all, Mama and Pearl, who can protect their own safety closely; Secondly, Linglong and Peony can help me and my brother hand deliver news and listen to some things; In the end, Shen Daochang gave Lian Qing to himself, whether it can be used or not, try it first to know. These people are still credible, not to mention the scale, if they are used in their own hands like this, they will not be able to make a splash at all. What's the use of having a lot of theoretical knowledge? Be a life instructor? Now it's really from scratch, starting from scratch.
