Meng Runlin hesitated for a moment, thinking about this matter over and over again in his heart. Finally, he said, "Yes, but the grass people are just for my sister." The emperor can overturn the case for his father, so it is better to treat her well. There is always a reason why she is in a bad mood, and it is better to solve it fundamentally. ”

Zhou Shuxuan lowered his head slightly, smiled wryly and whispered, "I also want to, but I just feel that it is irreparable." ”

I don't even want to say anything more to him, what else can he do?

The things that should be discussed were all discussed, and after being silent for a while, Meng Runlin left.

Before leaving the palace, I went to Qingquan Palace, and I didn't show up in front of the two children, so I directly asked people to call out the dark clouds and tell her what she had just discussed with Zhou Shuxuan.

The attitude of a mother is still different from that of a father, and there is no way to easily give up the two children.

The clouds just kept crying and didn't say anything.

Meng Runlin comforted: "It's okay, you can still enter the palace to see them when you have time, and it's not a matter of life and death, it's a big deal that we will have another one later." ”

"But...... They didn't grow up with me, so they won't kiss me anymore...... That's my child. The dark cloud cried.

Meng Runlin persuaded: "No, my sister will teach them well, and I won't be close to you." You also see how my sister is doing to us, and you give everything you can. She is having a hard time now, and she may be happier with her children by her side. And when my sister is in a better mood, she will send the child back. ”

Meng Runlin comforted him for a long time, and then the dark clouds finally stopped crying and didn't continue crying.

"Then when will I leave the palace?"

Meng Runlin patted her on the back again and said, "You can't bear the child, just stay for a few more days, and I'll pick you up when the time comes." ”

The dark cloud was also obedient, and nodded sensibly.

When I entered the door again, I saw Miaoli holding Meimei, playing with the child, and her face was full of love. Qingxi was crawling on the ground and playing with the little eunuch what Miao Li made. I also knew in my heart that Miaoli didn't have anything to say to them, let alone to the children.

If you let the children in the palace, you don't have to worry about them being bullied, and you may have to worry that they will bully others, there is nothing to worry about, but emotionally it is still not so easy to give up.

When Miao Li saw her come in, she didn't say anything and watched from afar. He beckoned to her, and the dark clouds saw Miao Li and sat down.

Seeing that her eyes were still red when she got closer, Miao Li asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's fine." Wuyun pretended to be a little shy, "It's just that I miss my husband a little." ”

Miao Li laughed softly, and she was also happy to see that their husband and wife loved her, and teased the child in her hand and said, "Does Meimei want to be a father?" ”

"I thought about it!" Qingxi got up from the ground with a grunt and shouted very actively.

"Isn't it fun to talk to my aunt?" Miao Li deliberately teased him.

Qingxi ran over and stood beside her, "It's fun to play with my aunt, but it's also fun to have fun with my father." ”

People are always a family, and if you don't see each other for a long time, you will definitely miss it. Then again, it's not a matter of being in the palace all the time.

Miao Li said to the dark clouds: "Now that the festival has passed, if you miss me, you will be sent back tomorrow, and you will come back when you have time." ”

"Sister......" Wuyun just wanted to cover up his words, and didn't think that he would go back tomorrow, "Sister, the children have finally entered the palace, so let's stay with my sister for a few more days, don't be in a hurry to go back." ”

Holding the soft little girl in her arms, Miaoli didn't want to let go at all, she glanced at the little girl reluctantly, and then nodded.

She may not have any children in her life, so she can only hug other people's children.

In the palace of diligent administration, several people in the court who could speak were here.

Zhou Shuxuan glanced down and said: "The flood has been troubled for many months and finally passed, and the disaster relief money and food in various places have been distributed to the people. He Shilang, where was the least affected this time? ”

"It's Pingxiang County and Dingxing County, and these two counties have almost no impact. Only a few farmlands near the river were flooded, and everything else was fine. ”

Zhou Shuxuan nodded slightly, "In this way, it is the credit of the county orders of the two counties, and they have a good way of controlling the water?" ”

"The two county orders are indeed meritorious, but the minister went to see them again. found that this merit was still left by the predecessors, and if there was no merit of the predecessors, it would be useless to have a county order alone. ”

Zhou Shuxuan pretended to be very puzzled and asked, "What predecessors?" What credit? ”

He Duanzhou lowered his head and replied, "The minister doesn't dare to say it." ”

"What dare you not say. I forgive you for your innocence, just say it. ”

Only then did He Duzhou raise his head and say: "When the prefect of the first emperor was inspecting government affairs, he went to the two counties and saw two special terrains, so he drew drawings and asked the river workers to rebuild the embankment. After the repair, the two counties have not suffered any floods in the past ten years. ”

"Who was the prefect at the time?"

"The criminal minister Meng Qianfan."

Finally got to the point.

Zhou Shuxuan thought about it for a long time, but he still felt that he should first evoke these memories before reversing the case. Although he is the emperor, he can't do whatever he wants, and he still has to satisfy all parties.

Zhou Shuxuan pretended not to react much, and asked, "Sinner?" What is a sinner? He did what was good for the people, and that alone is not a sinful. ”

The lowly person couldn't stand still, and the prime minister spoke: "Your Majesty, that's the guilty minister condemned by the previous emperor." ”

"Then tell me why he was guilty?"

The prime minister replied: "Meng Qianfan colluded with the minister to frame and slander the abolished prince, the emperor was furious, gave Meng Qianfan to death, the female dependents were bought, and the men were exiled. ”

Every time Zhou Shuxuan thinks of this, he thinks of Miaoli at that time, and he feels uncomfortable in his heart.

Zhou Shuxuan asked again: "What happened to the abolished prince in the end?" ”

The prime minister didn't answer, He Benzhou replied: "Cruelty to brothers, indiscriminate killing of innocents, and finally forced the palace to rebel, and was stabbed by the emperor." ”

"Yes." Zhou Shuxuan answered, "The last act of the abolished prince. Thinking back to that day, whether Lord Meng framed him, or Lord Meng just told the truth in front of the emperor. The first emperor favored the abolished prince, and in order to save his reputation, he was convicted of a crime? ”

The imperial doctor asked: "Does the emperor mean that the emperor was wrong?" ”

Zhou Shuxuan asked rhetorically: "What do you say?" ”

Dr. Goshitai said: "After all, many years have passed since the incident, and there is no point in pursuing it now. If something is really investigated, the son does not say that the father is wrong, and the emperor cannot tell the world that the first emperor was wrong. ”

"Why not? Just a few years have passed, and you won't forget what Master Meng has done for the country and the people, right? ”

For the controversial people, the following few people are not very afraid to speak. If you are afraid that one is wrong, your head will be gone.

Zhou Shuxuan glanced down with some disappointment, and said to himself: "Sending an envoy to Beiyan, I will avoid a battle without wasting a knife or a shot." Later, he served as the prefect of the five prefectures, and managed the flood and redressed the grievances. returned to the capital and became a doctor of imperial history, not afraid of the powerful. For the sake of a small people, he rushed to impeach the deposed prince in the danger of being killed. It can be said that the civil official has been done to the extreme, such a good official, have you forgotten it in less than ten years? ”

Zhou Shuxuan's words evoked the memories of some of the people below, when Meng Qianfan was there, there was really a bright feeling in the court, and there was basically no injustice.

The prime minister thought for a while, but still said: "But the emperor, after all, he is a criminal minister condemned by the previous emperor." ”

Zhou Shuxuan said coldly: "You are officials, not for the emperor, but for the people of the country. Your currying favor with and defending the emperor is not a merit, but it is a merit if you do something good for the people and the country. Except for He Shilang, who is younger, the others have all seen Master Meng, and you all see his behavior in your eyes, why has no one complained about him until now? ”

Those who can get to these positions are already smart, and those who can't be provoked will definitely not be provoked. Okay, no one will have nothing to do, and some things will be forgotten selectively.

Besides, avenging Meng Qianfan's grievances is equivalent to slapping the royal family in the face, who is crazy to help him avenge his grievances.

Zhou Shuxuan has already hinted at this point, and there are still smart people below. The official Shangshu said: "The minister has been an adjutant by Lord Meng's side for a few days, and he felt that there might be something hidden in it that day. It's just that at that time, there was no place for ministers to speak, and now I implore the emperor to thoroughly investigate the affairs of the year and return Lord Meng to a clean slate. ”

A few people, you look at me, I look at yours, Zhou Shuxuan shouted one by one, and his attitude was already very obvious. The matter between him and the former emperor's father and son is his business, and it has little to do with them, and it is only right not to go against the current saint.

The people below all knelt down and said in unison: "Please ask the emperor to thoroughly investigate the affairs of that year." ”

Finally waited for this sentence.

Zhou Shuxuan walked along the ladder, "Since this is the case, this matter will be handed over to He Shilang, Doctor Huang, you Yushitai will also take a hand and help check the file or something." ”

A few people chatted a few more words, and the others went out, leaving He Duzhou alone. Zhou Shuxuan asked someone to carry a stool for him and sit down to talk.

He Duanzhou was still a little worried, and said: "Your Majesty, now they don't know what the emperor is for, if they do, it will probably be very bad to spread out." ”

"Why doesn't it sound good?"

"If they knew that the concubine was the daughter of Lord Meng, they might say that the emperor didn't even want the face of the emperor for the sake of the concubine."

For the sake of the father-in-law slapping his own father's face, it is really unpleasant to say.

"It's the emperor who did something wrong, and what kind of face do you want."

He Duanzhou said a little anxiously: "But not everyone thinks so." ”

And these things related to love are easy to spread, if Zhou Shuxuan is written into the script, it is very likely that it will not be washed away.

Zhou Shuxuan also thought about it for a while, but did not change his mind, and said, "I don't care, it's the truth anyway." ”

He was originally for Miaoli, so if he is said, just say it.

"The Emperor's ......"

He Duzhou felt that he was a wise man, and he didn't want him to take care of his feathers.

"Don't say it, I've made up my mind. If you have the time to persuade me, you might as well choose a nickname for Master Meng. ”
