Chapter 261: Growth

Since Jin Shaokang was appointed as the 'squire' of the military department, he has been quite popular in the court, so since he was imprisoned, there have been many ministers who have interceded for him. Of course, this is also because Emperor Jing Xuan's attitude is ambiguous, he imprisoned Jin Shaokang, but did not deal with him, so the ministers speculated that the emperor did not really want to embarrass him, maybe he was waiting for a step down, so the ministers sent the emperor steps one after another.

In addition, King Ning and Zuo Bochang also pleaded with the emperor respectively, one was a brother close to the emperor, and the other was an upstart that the emperor valued a lot, so Emperor Jingxuan finally relented and let go out, as long as An Yuanhou received the holy decree, he looked at Jin Shaokang's past counterinsurgency achievements, and would no longer pursue An Yuanhou's disrespectful crimes.

The ministers are quite satisfied with this result, after all, the emperor has opened up the net so obviously, and he can't ask the emperor to take back the holy decree given by him, in that case, where will the emperor's face be placed?

So the ministers sent representatives to the prison to persuade Jin Shaokang, hoping that Jin Shaokang could take over the holy decree, turn the big things into small ones, and restore harmony between the monarch and the ministers.

"However, if Marquis An Yuan was willing to accept the order, he would not have resisted the decree in the first place......" The Queen Mother said to Jiang Ruonan.

Jiang Ruonan sat beside the Queen Mother, looking tired and haggard.

Indeed, as the Queen Mother said, these days, no matter who tries to persuade him, he refuses to accept the decree of marriage. Everyone only said that he was dissatisfied with Miss Lin's family, and they all talked about the benefits of Miss Lin's family, but Jin Shaokang said: "It's not that Miss Lin is bad, it's just that there is only one princess in my heart, and I don't want to disappoint Miss Lin's family, she deserves a better man." ”

As soon as these words came out, Lord Lin, who had a lot of subtleties about Jin Shaokang, consciously regained some face, and his anger at him disappeared a little, and if it was an ordinary marriage, he would forget it, and the marriage would be fulfilled by the other party, but unfortunately this was the emperor's order, and he couldn't do anything about it.

But in this way, the enthusiasm of the ministers who helped Jin Shaokang intercede slowly waned, and it was naturally impossible for them to ask the emperor, and Jin Shaokang was so stubborn, what else could they do?

The Queen Mother said: "In this way, the ministers will only act like Jin Shaokang is not measured, I don't know what to do, and if the emperor wants to deal with him in the future, the ministers will no longer help him intercede" She sighed, "In recent years, the emperor's style of doing things has become more and more like the first emperor, obviously it is a coercion, but there is no half sentence that can not be said." ”

Jiang Ruonan looked at the Queen Mother and suddenly asked, "Queen Mother, if the Hou Ye continues to resist the decree, how do you think the emperor will deal with him?" ”

The Queen Mother was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "Disobeying the emperor's order is generally a capital crime, if the emperor's order can be ignored so easily, how should the emperor rule the world?" Where is the majesty of the emperor? It's just that An Yuanhou has made great contributions, and if he wants to avoid the death penalty, the living crime is inevitable, and it is certain that he will cut officials and win the title, and the rest depends on the emperor's wishes......"

Do you want to exchange him for a thought? The price of this thought is inevitably too great, the emperor is so persistent, it is impossible for him to return to him, do you want him to live such a bleak life?

Growing up, she felt that in this world, no one really cared about her, so no matter what, she should plan for herself first. So all along, no matter what decision she makes, the first thing she thinks of is herself, and the first thing she cares about is herself.

She was dedicated to herself, but things slowly developed to such a point that she really didn't have the slightest responsibility? Is she happy?

This time, does she still only care about her own feelings and only think about herself?

On the same day, Jiang Ruonan asked to see Emperor Jingxuan in the Qianqing Palace.

She knelt down in front of Emperor Jing Xuan and kowtowed to him.

Emperor Jing Xuan looked at her coldly.

"Ruolan, if you are also here to intercede for Jin Shaokang, I advise you not to say anything, every word you say is not to help him, but to harm him."

Jiang Ruonan didn't seem to hear his words, straightened up, looked up at him, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, please take back the holy decree." ”

The fire in Emperor Jing Xuan's heart suddenly rose, he grabbed Jiang Ruonan's arm and lifted her up, he glared at her fiercely, gritting his teeth, "Let me take back the holy decree, and then, you will return to him?" His nails almost pinched into her 'flesh', and his hands trembled uncontrollably.

"No-but-can," he spat out word by word.

Jiang Ruonan didn't seem to feel the pain in her arm, nor did she feel his anger, her face was still calm, calm as if she was an unconscious person.

"Your Majesty, at the same time as you take back the holy decree, Ruolan will become a monk in the royal temple, and it will be impossible to marry again in this life." Her voice was soft, but to his ears it sounded like a hammer striking on his heart.

Emperor Jing Xuan was stunned, his hand was loosened, and the anger in his heart disappeared in an instant.

"Out of ...... The voice of the monk ...... was full of surprise.

Jiang Ruonan looked at him and said slowly: "Yes, I will shave my hair and wear sackcloth, from now on, I will devote myself to the 'female' hospital, and love has nothing to do with me." Therefore, the emperor does not have to worry that I will get married, and he does not have to worry that I will return to him. In this case, the holy decree is meaningless, the emperor will read that he has always been loyal to you, don't embarrass him anymore in the future, whether he marries a wife or not, let him be, no matter what he decides, it will have nothing to do with me. ”

Looking at Jiang Ruonan's calm face, Emperor Jing Xuan felt very uncomfortable in his heart, although this was the result he wanted, but ......

"You've really worked hard for him." There was a sour tone in his tone.

"Your Majesty, what other reason do you have to object? Isn't that exactly what you think? Don't embarrass him anymore, haven't you hurt him enough? At the beginning, you didn't like me, so you stuffed me to him, and then you thought I was interesting, so you tried your best to destroy us, and now what are you going to do to him? How far do you want to 'push' him to be willing? Jiang Ruonan looked at him with a cold gaze, "You are the emperor, you are high and control everything, but because of this, you don't even care about your conscience?" Is he half sorry for you? Do you really want to hurt him, is your heart comfortable? ”

Emperor Jing Xuan's face turned slightly pale under her gaze. He took two steps back, turned around, and after a while, said, "Well, in ten days, when you become a monk in the royal monastery, I will withdraw the decree of marriage and let him go." ”

Jiang Ruonan bent his knee to his back: "Emperor Xie." ”

The matter soon reached the ears of the Queen Mother, who was shocked and recruited Jiang Ruonan.

"Ruolan, the mourning family heard that you are going to become a monk, but the emperor 'forced' you? Don't worry, there is a mourning family here, no one can 'force' you" The Queen Mother was very angry, at this moment, she really had an impulse to make a big fuss with her son, how could her son treat Ruolan like this?

Jiang Ruonan saw that the Queen Mother's emotions were 'agitated', and hurriedly said: "The Queen Mother is angry, it was not the emperor who 'forced' me, it was I who voluntarily proposed it to the emperor, Ruolan has already said that she no longer plans to marry anymore Since this is the case, it doesn't matter whether she is a monk or not." ”

"If it doesn't matter, why do you want to become a monk?" The Queen Mother looked at her, "I know, you are for An Yuanhou, as soon as you leave home, you will completely cut off An Yuanhou's mind, and the emperor will not be embarrassed for him Your idea is very good, but have you thought about it, if you really become a monk, it will be impossible to be with An Yuanhou in the future"

"It's a good thing for him." Jiang Ruonan lowered his head and said softly: "If it was in the past, I would make a big fuss." I would like to think like this, I want to be with the people I love, why should others stop me? I'll do my best to fight for it, but ...... As a result, because of my own feelings, I will drag many people into the water, I will let the Queen Mother and the emperor have a conflict, deepen your discord, I will make the relationship between Jin Shaokang and the emperor worse, I will let Jin Shaokang be blamed by many people, I will let the two children suffer with us, bear everyone's fingers, and I will make all the people who care about us worry about us...... It's just to satisfy my feelings alone, but I have to affect so many people, even if I really win it in the end, what's the point? ”

Jiang Ruonan raised her head and looked at the Queen Mother, tears flashed in her eyes, she held the Queen Mother's hand, "Queen Mother, I used to think about myself first in everything, whether it was when I decided to stay in the Hou Mansion or later left the Hou Mansion, what I thought about the most was always my own feelings, I never thought there was anything wrong with this, I often thought, I think about myself, what's wrong with thinking about myself?"

But that's not the case, I'm not as cold-blooded as I thought, and I will care about many people around me, but if I only think of myself in everything, I will definitely hurt them, and they will be hurt, and I am also sad in my heart. So this time, I don't think about myself, I just hope that the Queen Mother will not conflict with her son for me again, and the Queen Mother will not be sad about this matter again, Jin Shaokang will not be hurt because of me, and completely get rid of my trouble in the future, live a peaceful and stable life, and the two children will not become a joke in the eyes of their peers because of their parents' farce...... As long as I am a monk, I can prevent everything from happening, so why don't I do it? It's just a monk, not a death, I can still do what I like in the future, and it's not a tragedy at all. ”

The Queen Mother's tears had already moistened her face, and she took Jiang Ruonanlou into her arms, "You kid, let me say what?" It's so distressing......

Jiang Ruonan wrapped her arms around the Queen Mother's neck, and tears flowed silently, "So, Queen Mother, don't worry about this matter anymore, I don't want the Queen Mother to be ** anymore." ”

The Queen Mother was sad, how could she want to make her son sad again and again? Last time, because of the fact that she accepted Ruolan as a righteous 'girl', her son is still complaining about her, and every time she comes to ask for peace, she doesn't have a smile, and she leaves after a long time. Moreover, her son's health is not good, how can she bear to stab and 'provoke' and 'force' him again and again?

"It's the mourning family who is sorry for you......" The Queen Mother's tears kept flowing, and Aunt Ye next to her also shed tears.

Emperor Jing Xuan thought that the Queen Mother would obstruct this matter again, but this time he made up his mind to provoke the Queen Mother, and he couldn't let Jiang Ruonan return to Jin Shaokang's arms, but what made him strange was that there was no movement on the Queen Mother's side, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

Time passed day by day, and Jiang Ruonan's ordination was carried out in secret, but the day before Jiang Ruonan's shaving, there was news that Emperor Jing Xuan was critically ill.

PS: The countdown to the end is either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Thank you all for your continued support.
