4. Come and go?
"The eldest princess entered the palace as a prisoner, and she obviously committed a capital crime, so why should she distinguish it?" He looked disdainful, it seemed that he hated Wan Yue, it shouldn't be Gao Yi.
"Really?" Pretending to smile indifferently, the clouds are light and light, and she doesn't care, Wanyue doesn't care who hates her and who likes her, caring about other people's eyes is the least important, just be yourself.
"The Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people!" He looked at Gao Yang and said righteously, this sentence has been circulated since ancient times and has always been used as a royal constraint, which can be regarded as the earliest idea that everyone is equal before the law.
"That's a good point." This is really good, but it is the best way to change the topic quickly, but as soon as Wan Yue wanted to speak, a eunuch at the door shouted loudly.
"General An has arrived!"
A young general, approaching slowly, dressed in military uniform, as if he had just returned from a victory, his face was handsome, but with a hint of indifference, with a trace of tiredness on his resolute face, but his eyes were so elegant, clear and pure, like blue sky and white clouds, flawless jade, but so rejecting people thousands of miles away, he was not moved by everything in the court, and he did not feel surprised.
He glanced at Wanyue, as if she shouldn't be here, stepped forward, knelt down on one knee in front of Gao Yang, and said calmly, "Chen'an Youju, meet Your Majesty." He didn't squint, and didn't seem to care about what was going on above the hall.
"Qing returned victoriously, he should celebrate, and set up a banquet in this palace tonight to wash the dust for Qing." said it very smoothly, as if it had been said many times, not only for him, but also to introduce Wanyue, the long-lost sister, to everyone.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." With reluctance on his face, but there was no choice but to accept it, he stepped aside and stopped talking.
Wan Yue approached the prime minister, stopped only a few steps away, and looked at him with a pair of clear and firm eyes, which forced people to look directly, "But I heard that the son said: 'Monarchs, ministers, fathers, sons. 'This is the eternal principle, should I say it to Your Majesty?' "The momentum is huge, and you can't be unforgiving, but you can't scare him, I'm afraid that Wanyue will be sad!
For a while, he just gasped for breath and was angry himself.
"If the prime minister has nothing to do, I suggest that you watch more history and learn from history, learn how the ancient sages worried about the country and the people, take the common people in the world as their own responsibility, and care more about the affairs of the court and less about the emperor's family affairs."
"The eldest princess is so imposing!" There is another minister standing up here, and the difference from the one just now is that this person doesn't look so stable just now, the person just now looks old-fashioned, but this person doesn't look so serious and a little frivolous, and his body is fat, like a middle-aged man who has been pampered and pampered, and he looks disgusting.
"Dare to ask who is under your feet?" Wan Yue arched his hand and asked, since you have returned to ancient times, then ask questions and solve them in the ancient way, and you will blow up your home before fighting!
"I am Sikong Sima Ziru." The man staggered out with a staggering step, holding a round belly, holding one hand on his waist, and asked condescendingly, "The eldest princess and the prime minister are courteous, how can the eldest princess stand on top of this hall in line with etiquette?" ”
Wan Yue walked a few steps towards him, walked in front of him and didn't squint, "What I just discussed with the prime minister is the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, respecting the old and the young in an orderly manner, and the layers are clearly distinguished; And what Your Excellency told me is the way of etiquette, I came to the main hall, and there is no rudeness to you, but I am targeted by you everywhere, I don't know what your intentions are? ”
Wan Yue thought about Sima Ziru's name in her mind quickly, thinking about what she could think of and go back, "Lord Sikong." ”
Wan Yue raised his hand high, from top to bottom, and made a long gesture, this is the ancient greeting ceremony without distinction between dignity and inferiority, which means that Wan Yue treats him equally, "I heard that Sima Ziru, the master of Sikong, has always been criticized, and he has no upright and fair heart, and he can't handle things according to the fair and righteous way. ”
"You..." he pointed at Wan Yue, his face flushed and he couldn't speak, and let Wan Yue say nothing without refuting anything.
Angry that he couldn't speak, Wan Yue continued, "I have heard of righteousness, self-cultivation, family, governance, and peace in the world, since Lord Sikong can stand in this hall, he should fulfill his duties and lead by example!"
As the old saying goes, if you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will help the world, do you feel ashamed of the people and Your Majesty? Above the temple, the rotten wood is the official, and I am in danger! ”
Speaking of this, he pretended to hide his face unconsciously and sighed, looking regretful, full of emotion, and peeked at Sima Ziru from time to time, only to see that his face was red and speechless, so he could only go back and forth from where.
"As the old saying goes: Only women and villains are difficult to raise!" Obviously, this person is talking about Wan Yue, obviously scolding, and a person came out with thin cheeks, a weather-beaten face, and crystal white hair on his temples, and he was only about forty years old, Wan Yue looked at him with a puzzled face, and did not speak, waiting for him to answer.
"Taiwei Peng Le." He introduced himself and said, his voice was slightly hoarse, Wan Yue smiled, he looked very good, he would report to his family, but he also scolded him loudly and said, "This is bad! ”
Walking towards the center of the main hall, with a bohemian and uninhibited momentum, "Confucius Shengming has lived his life, but this sentence is not right." "I don't care about everyone's surprised eyes," continued. Confucius's mother was young and widowed, and she never remarried, raising her master and making her a generation of saints, can such a woman be said to be difficult to raise? Meng's mother moved three times... Examples abound. ”
"How can the eldest princess compare to the mother of the sages?" , is this a compliment to her? Or do you want to belittle her? It is estimated that it is to depreciate her! Even if his voice is hoarse, he does not forget to demean Wanyue.
"Yes, I'm just a little woman, I don't dare to compare with them, but the officials of my dynasty shouldn't be able to lose to the sages of the past generations!" With smugness in his eyes, he slowly approached him, staring at him with his eyes, arguing with reason,
"The sea is tolerant of all rivers, but the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty can't tolerate me as a little woman, how to talk about the governance of the Qi family and how to talk about the society of the country, sad! Alas! Have you ever thought that today you will unanimously not tolerate me, and you may not be able to change to all of you here one day, how do you feel? Seeing that they didn't speak, Wan Yue walked into the middle of the crowd, looking at the people next to her with every step.
"The gentleman is not critical, how I became a death row prisoner, you should know when you go to investigate! Ignoring the law, violently enforcing the law, and rashly arresting the innocent people into the palace, how could he ever think of the comfort of the people?
Isn't this a dereliction of duty on the part of all of you here? Besides, I was lost at a young age and had a family reunion by chance many years later, which is enough to show that the civil security is not good, how many people are lost like me, maybe I am lucky, and there are so many unfortunate people,
If your children are lost and there is no news of you, you will not be saddened, but what about the inhumane treatment of your children when they are lost? Speaking of which, Wanyue wiped her tears with her sleeve, and the sensational routine had to squeeze out two tears!
"I am a little woman who does not admire wealth and wealth, I just want to reunite with my family and share my family, I am excited that I have found my family with blood, but I can't accommodate me here, I just ask Your Majesty to let me go, and I can be a peasant woman for the rest of my life." After finishing speaking, Wanyue knelt in front of Gao Yang, crying silently.
Wan Yue didn't really want to leave, first of all, it was not easy to find a long-term meat ticket, and secondly, Gao Yang would not let her go easily, this was just a step back by herself, it was the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty who forced her to leave, and a little woman was forced to go down to the court by herself because of pressure.
"No way!" Gao Yang sat on the main hall, heard that Wanyue was leaving, stopped loudly, got up and walked down the heavenly steps, looked around at everyone, one by one like a defeated rooster, hung his head, this is his long-lost sister, he loved to stick to him when he was a child, but one accidentally separated from his sister Some people once said that he was abducted, and since then he has been looking for it without success, and now he finally found it, he wants to make up for it, he wants to leave the best to her, and he can't let her leave anymore.
Prime Minister Yang Su, at this time, walked out and said slowly, "Your Majesty, there was an unwritten rule that if a death row prisoner can stay by His Majesty's side for three months, he can be exonerated from the crime, it is better ... He didn't continue, but gave Gao Yang time to think.
"That's good, within three months, be a lonely personal maid Gao Yi." No matter what, it's all good for Wanyue, she is Gao Yang's sister anyway, and she will be fine, but in these three months, she has to be wronged.
"That's the best solution." Yang Su also agreed, and now he has to cover up the past a little.
"Your Majesty Shengming, Your Majesty Shengming." Hundreds of civil and military officials knelt down one after another, holding Gao Yang's sycophants.
This is the difference between a minister and an emperor, the emperor can do whatever he wants, but the minister can only listen to the emperor's words with trembling and obey his words.
"Retreat." With anger in his eyes, he walked down the hall and pulled Wan Yue away, and became famous in a fight, and Wan Yue became a bad princess in the mouths of the people in the city, just like a tigress and a wolf who can eat people.
"I've wronged you, sister." All the way to the garden, hugging Wanyue tightly, this... This... This... Where do you look like a brother and sister?
"It's fine." Patted him on the back and comforted him.
"Xiao Shengzi, I'll leave it to you." He said to the old eunuch behind him.
"The minions must be done." His waist was bent, not daring to look directly at Gao Yang, "Eldest princess, please go with the minions." "Stretch out your hand and lead the way.
"Well, the little sister will retire first." glanced back at Gao Yang and walked away with a little determination.
She was treated differently, she lived in her own house, did not live with other palace maids, although she was wearing palace maid clothes, she was also radiant and different, with a unique nobility and elegance, and the work was not much or heavy, but there were many people rushing to do it, and she was not tired.
Although three months is a short time, it is still a long time.
Gao Yang is ferocious, he wants to kill someone, he kills his red eyes, and it is difficult to say if he accidentally injures Wanyue, after all, no one can predict what will happen in the future.
