She knew that Sheng Qian was fine, and what else was there to be depressed. After all, the governor also has his own pride, what Steward Zheng said next to him, he didn't listen to it, re-spread out a picture scroll, and started to draw again, Steward Zheng looked at it for a while, and then went out with a tray.

——

"Father, what should I do now?"

In the prime minister's house, the prime minister and the eldest son Wang Encheng

"Let's watch this from the wall, don't get too much hands into it." Wang Xiangwei closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair. Wang Encheng stepped forward, "But what I know, such as the Jiang family, the eldest princess, is proposing a new household servant to His Majesty these days-" If the Wang family still ignores it at this moment, it will be difficult to ensure that the right to turn over will be taken away by others.

Wang Xiang's eyes opened, looked at his eldest son, and thought about it again.

"It's still not appropriate, in the past, I was afraid of the Sheng Guogong family, and there were brave and warlike generals, if there was a household servant who entered the cabinet, I was afraid that one person would be dominant in the future, and the people in the world would not know the reputation of my Wang family. But what I did a few days ago has been almost to the limit, hundreds of officials have dismissed the dynasty, Your Majesty is benevolent and righteous on the surface, but in fact he is the most resentful, and the dog is in a hurry to jump off the wall, not to mention that it is the real dragon Tianzi. ”

The true dragon emperor can't protect the person who can't be saved, and now he can't do anything to you because of the situation, but that's also because he cares about the situation and wants to be a Ming Jun. If one day he suddenly remembered this incident and became very angry, Wang Xiang was a conservative person after all, and he had done this, but the latter did not want to continue.

"Father", Wang Encheng didn't think so, "Now everything is ready, only the last kick in the door." Wouldn't it be a pity that our Wang family had made so many efforts in the past, but now it was burned because of timidity. What's more, it's not just the Wang family, if we stop now, I'm afraid that the rest will only be divided by others. ”

Wang Xiang was still silent, he didn't say anything, Wang Encheng on the side had already turned his head and knelt in front of him, "Father, you are the prime minister, maybe it is contrary to Your Majesty to do this, you are worried, why don't you let your son go, I have already contacted all the courtiers, if Sheng Qian is not executed tomorrow, I will strike the court again-" Before he finished speaking, Wang Xiang suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes shimmering, "Who allowed you to do this?" ”

Wang Encheng knelt down, "It is the future of the Wang family." Father, now there are many families, and there are endless rising stars. It seems to be the door of Sheng Guogong, but the clay man who came out of the mound can now look down on people when he holds the military power. ”

Wang Xiang only looked at him for a while, then hung his head again, "Forget it...... "Since everything has been done." If you withdraw your hand at this time, neither end will be fine. He looked at Wang Encheng again, "I don't want you to do this, it's just that there is an old saying, the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind - everything is not until the last moment, never rush forward." ”

Because what awaits ahead is not necessarily glory and wealth, but may also be an abyss.

Wang Encheng was full of confidence at the moment, "Father, even if the previous crimes are not enough, there are still others." What's more, you don't know that Sheng Qian, a literati, can withstand a few people when he goes in, and now he may not know how many times the confession has been written. That Guan Ping is vicious and vicious, I am afraid that this one will deal with that Sheng Qian, and the other will have to take power with His Majesty again, he has been preempted too many times before, father, now I must not act in a restrained manner, I am afraid of missing the opportunity. ”

Wang Xiang thought about it for a while, and finally nodded.

——

It's already in the depths of winter, and unlike the snow that has been falling for days a few days ago, it hasn't snowed for a long time, but the capital is much colder than ever.

It was early in the morning and the sky was still bright. On the emperor's hall within a hundred steps, the sky was dark, the dragon chair inside was glowing, and the ministers below knelt in the vast moonlight outside the hall, but above the main hall, there were only a few courtiers. Emperor Wei was above, his face was uncertain, and Wang Fu was also holding a breath in his chest, only feeling that it was a storm.

"What day is this?" I only listened to Emperor Wei on the dragon chair speak.

Wang Fu hung his head, and after only a moment, he replied, "It's the third day, Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Wei seemed to be thinking about something, but the emperor could easily look at the expressions of the courtiers below, but the courtiers below could not look directly at Tian'en. After a while, Emperor Wei spoke, "Spread my decree, and in ten days, the order will be executed to behead Sheng Qian, the former household servant." ”

Wang Fu looked at Emperor Wei, respectfully agreed, and continued to recite, and soon a little eunuch announced it in front of the courtiers kneeling outside. But the smile on their faces had not passed, and soon Emperor Wei's second holy decree came down again, saying that the ministers had suffered from the cold wind, and they were inevitably in poor health to delay the affairs of the court, and they all recuperated at home for three days.

It is the disguised removal of the official March.

After all, he is the emperor, how can he not be angry when he is persecuted like this. The execution of a courtier is nothing to him - everyone is dissatisfied with such a result, but if it is at this time to let people go forward, but no one dares to do so, several good ministers look left and right, and after leaving the court, they go to the palace gate, and they have to go to the king's house to discuss countermeasures.

——

At that time, Emperor Wei's order came down, and the Sheng family just knew about it the next day.

Yun Niang had been worried for a long time, and she fainted as soon as she heard the news. Although Lingzhu is calm, but after all, she is young, and her mother fell ill again for a while, so she inevitably had red eyes and looked at Sheng Mingzhu again.

"It's okay", the doctor hasn't come over yet, Sheng Mingzhu only glanced at her sister comfortingly, but she couldn't let go of her own heart. A few days ago, my father clearly said that he was fine, but why did he suddenly have such a regulation a few days later, "I'll go to my grandfather." ”

Sheng Mingzhu said and walked out of the room. Huang's mother just came in with the decoction, only saw her back, immediately shook her head, took the medicine into the house again, looked at Yun Niang who was lying on the bed, and sighed for a while, "In the past, there was nothing to do in Bingzhou, why did you come to the capital and give birth to so many things, let me see, this official is better than not being promoted." ”

Sheng Lingzhu held her mother's hand, "Teacher Kong said that if there are many people in the court who are vegetarian, they must always exclude dissidents. ”

"What do little children know...... Huang's mother glanced at Lingzhu, and squatted down again, she was a little old and not very neat, "If the people in the house have bullied you these days, don't tell your mother and sister, run to Huang's mother, understand?" "The subordinates in the house are broken and lazy, and the clues have already been shown when something happened in the third room, and I am afraid that it will be worse from now on.

Yun Niang has always been such a weak character, but I am afraid that I will be depressed for a period of time in the future. This Mingzhu has a strong temperament, and she is afraid that something will happen, Lingzhu listened to what Huang's mother said and nodded.

——

Sheng Mingzhu went to find Sheng Guogong, but before he entered the door of the main house, he was stopped by Ni Zhen'er and the subordinates of the main house, "Third Miss, who are you looking for?" ”

Sheng Mingzhu pushed her hand away and wanted to go in, but was soon stopped by several other maids. Ni Zhen'er next to her frowned and looked at her, "The old lady is resting, and now there is no one in sight, if the young lady has something, just wait." ”

"I want to see my grandfather", what does she do when she sees her grandmother?

"Third Miss, I said, the old lady is resting, and no one is seen." She repeated.

Sheng Mingzhu's chest was depressed, especially looking at Ni Zhen'er's majestic posture on her face, and even wanted to pull out the whip. But in the end, he still had some sense, and quickly turned around and left. Ni Zhen'er looked at her back, looked at it for a while, then raised her hand to let everyone disperse, and soon returned to the house.

"Old Taijun", when she entered the house, Ni Zhener was talking back to Old Taijun Song.

"The girl in the third room is gone?"

Ni Zhen'er nodded, "Just left." ”

Mrs. Song closed her eyes, and the incense burner next to her was still smoking. She knew that these three girls came to ask Sheng Qian about it, but now that the Manchu Dynasty wants Sheng Qian's life, who can keep it? was about to close his eyes and continue to sleep, but he heard Ni Zhen'er feel a little embarrassed, "Old lady......"

"What's wrong? Even you can't speak. "Old Taijun Song is actually not very energetic.

She doesn't like her second son, in fact, only a small part of the reason is because of the concubine in the second room, and more because of Sheng Qian - he has his own ideas, he is like his father, and in his heart the Shu clan and the Shi clan are the same. This is what Mrs. Song can't bear, she comes from a family, what she wants is completely different from what Sheng Guogong wants.

So Sheng Mao is not useful, he is still the son of the Shengguo Mansion.

It's just because Sheng Qian wants to go against all the families, and now it's good, he is his lonely minister, and the direct minister is gone, and now his life is gone, and the incident is gone - no matter what, this is all the flesh and blood that crawled out of his belly in October, even if the feelings are not deep, now that he is gone, Song Lao Taijun is a little uncomfortable in his heart.

"Grandpa Guo, it seems that he has entered the palace." Ni Zhener is embarrassed.

Now it is obvious why he entered the palace for something, his son just had an accident on the front foot, and he went on the back foot of his father, just to intercede for his son. Old Taijun Song was still lying down, but she got up almost in a blink of an eye, her brows furrowed fiercely, "Why didn't anyone tell me?" ”

Now such a situation has implicated the Sheng family, saying that Sheng Qian is blessed by Sheng Guogong. Now that he is still going to the palace to face the saint, is he afraid that this fire will not burn himself? Ni Zhen'er looked at Mrs. Song in embarrassment, "Grandpa Guo walked too fast, and his expression was not good, so the people in the house didn't dare to stop him." ”

Old Mrs. Song stayed for a while, then shook her head again, "Forget it." ”

——

Guan Ping had been with Emperor Wei in the palace for a long time, and he was a little uncertain.

Emperor Wei glanced at him with a smile, and after a while, he didn't know what to think, and said, "Aiqing, do you remember what I said before?" Now that you are approaching the age of your establishment, it is time to take a wife. "Last time, Guan Ping took Sheng Mingzhu to the Dongchang prison, he deliberately let Emperor Wei know, and Emperor Wei naturally knew, "That Sheng Mingzhu is indeed delicate, although she is younger, don't blame you for being distressed." ”

looked at Guan Ping again, "Now that the holy decree has been issued, she must be flustered in her heart." If Aiqing wants to go to the side—" looked at him again, "Sheng Aiqing is dedicated to the country, and so are you." After this is over, if you want to marry anyone, what I said before will still count. ”
