Chapter 182: Turbulence (I)
Rong Hua habitually woke up at the beginning of the day, looked at the cyan curtain above her head and remembered that she was not at home, she didn't have to get up early to greet her elders, Xue Mingrui didn't have to get up early to go to court, there were really not many days like this. (Niu Wen ~ Net)
Although the rain outside gradually became lighter, the sky was still overcast, and he looked up at Xue Mingrui, Xue Mingrui was still asleep, Rong Hua only felt that his eyes were sour, closed his eyes and fell asleep again.
Rong Hua's breathing gradually calmed down, Xue Mingrui opened his eyes and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and slowly sat up from the bed, Xue Mingrui read the official document for a while, and then picked up the book next to the bed to read, on the embankment, it was still the people around Prince An to help, otherwise it would take some trouble to deal with the people who gave encouragement.
Prince An, the eldest son of the emperor, is not as famous as Prince Zhuang Zhou Yanning, and his identity is not very noble.
Xue Mingrui put down the book in his hand and turned his head to find that Rong Hua had opened his eyes.
"What is Master Hou thinking?"
Xue Mingrui thought carefully, raised his head to look at Rong Hua's clear eyes, and put down the book in his hand, "The emperor has made three princes princes, Prince An, Prince Zhuang, Prince Ying, Prince An is the eldest son of the emperor, Prince Zhuang is a famous and harmonious prince, and the whole court calls him King Ren, Prince Ying is too idle, and the remaining princes are still young, and the prince born to the imperial concubine Cai is the most noble*......"
Now the princes are vying for the position of prince, and none of these relationships can be handled wrongly, especially some things are not as simple as they seem.
Xue Mingrui said in a low voice: "There is no big problem on my leg, but the emperor asked me to come here to recuperate*......"
Rong Hua thought about it slightly, he was just happy to see Xue Mingrui before, and many things were left behind, thinking that as long as he could be safe, the others would not think too much, and now I heard Xue Mingrui say this, "The emperor asked Hou Ye to come here to recuperate, one is the emperor's grace, and the other is to indirectly tell Hou Ye that the case of corruption of ink in the Ministry of Industry will end here." ”
It's rare for her to be so smart, Xue Mingrui smiled and nodded.
Mrs. Cai said that the relationship between Shi Mian, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, and Zhou Yanzi, Prince Zhuang, if Shi Mian implicated Prince Zhuang, Prince Zhuang's party would be frustrated, I don't know how many people are waiting to see how the emperor will come to a conclusion, Rong Hua raised his head and looked at Xue Mingrui, "Is the Hou Ye thinking, the emperor already has the heart to establish a prince*......" Only if there is a heart to establish a prince will avoid many problems, especially the prince who is involved in the emperor's heart.
Could it be that the emperor really wants to make Prince Zhuang the prince? In this way, no matter whether Xue Mingrui handled the case to the end or not, he had already offended Prince Zhuang.
Xue Mingrui said: "It shouldn't be so easy, Shi Mian's case is just the beginning." ”
Rong Hua nodded, "The emperor asked Hou Ye to supervise the defense, and now that the flood has been controlled, Hou Ye will naturally resign, and Hou Ye's injuries are very serious............"
Xue Mingrui listened to Rong Hua's words, and curled his lips slightly, Rong Chuan heard that he was going to recuperate, and he was unwilling to hand over the bullet to impeach Shi Xian, if he hadn't pressed Rong Chuan's fold, maybe he would have submitted it.
His little wife is really a woman who doesn't let her eyebrows go.
Xue Mingrui said: "The Ministry of Industry's greed for ink is no longer a matter of defense, as long as the emperor knows, he will naturally send officials to ......" said and smiled, "It's just that it has to ......be the same as Su Xiyao's case last time."
I didn't get any benefit from working hard. Xue Mingrui means this!
"Isn't Hou Ye's reputation in the court like this all these years? Do things fairly, mercilessly, and wholeheartedly serve the court, regardless of gains and losses.* ......"If you really get favor because of this matter, all the things you gave up before will be in vain."
Rong Hua raised his head to look at Xue Mingrui, Xue Mingrui smiled slightly, his eyes were like the stars in the dark night.
Second Mrs. Xue went to the old lady's room early, and her whole person looked depressed, and her eyes were red and swollen from crying. Yesterday, there was news back, and Ming Rui had already found the master who had not heard from him for a long time.
"Mingbai and Mingli have all gone to ask, but the people in the yamen refuse to say anything," the second wife lifted the handkerchief and wiped her eyes, "What should I do, I took off my official uniform when I was taken away by the guards, in case I was really implicated...... When the old man left, he also asked me to take care of the family, where am I in any mood, fortunately, Mingrui has been found, otherwise they will ...... uncle and nephew" said and shed tears again.
The old lady sighed, "Why don't I worry, but I haven't been able to inquire outside, only that all the officials of the Ministry of Industry have been sent to the Ministry of Punishment, and there is no rule on how to deal with it, and the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Shi Mian's house is on fire again, I heard that due to the dismissal of many subordinates, the fire was not extinguished in time, and none of Shi Shangshu's family members ran out*......"
The third wife, who didn't speak on the side, couldn't help but raise her head and look at the second wife, the case of the Ministry of Industry's greed for ink this time is probably not small, the second master was implicated as soon as he entered the Ministry of Industry, looking at the second sister-in-law's anxious appearance, compared to when Rong Hua bought rice with her mother's family before, what was said in front of her? It's just that she still relies on her second sister-in-law for many things, even if she suffers a loss, she can't say anything, and she has to stand on the same line with her in everything.
The second lady complained about her bitter eyes in front of the old lady again, and the old lady and the third lady comforted her for a long time, and then everyone dispersed.
The second wife returned to the room and waited until Xue Mingbai got off the yagong and entered the house to say goodbye. The second wife hurriedly asked the second master about ......, have you inquired? What are you going to do with your father's business? ”
Xue Mingbai frowned and said: "Now no one dares to discuss the affairs of the Ministry of Industry, and I don't know what to do." Coupled with the matter of Lord Chen Ran before, it was all counted as the Ministry of Industry*......"
The second wife frowned and said, "Then what should I do?" Is it possible that all the officials of the Ministry of Industry can be punished? ”
Xue Mingbai said: "I don't know yet, I asked Master Ma Junwang from the Ministry of Industry, listen to his tone, this time thanks to the second brother...... Father's matter may be handled lightly for the sake of the second brother. ”
The second wife said: "How can I just rely on the big house, when Ming Rui can't find it, I can't wait to send all the family members out to find it, your father has an accident, I didn't see the old lady to ask anyone to help, after all, it's different, people inherit the title, our family ......"
Xue Mingbai saw that the second wife was in a hurry, and hurriedly said, "My son will think of a way again." ”
The second lady sat down and drank. Tea, moisten your lips, think of something and raise your head" "What is your brother doing?" Why didn't you see him come back so late? ”
Xue Mingbai said: "My son has seen him today" said with a deep gaze, which has some meaning, "I went out of the government today to see the third brother, and I was just about to call him" I saw Chang Ningbo's son call him away. ”
The second wife's dark eyes suddenly lit up, and her eyes widened in disbelief, "You said Chang Ning Bo Shizi?" ”
Xue Mingbai nodded, "Uncle Chang is still very enthusiastic about his younger brother. ”
Chang Ningbo's family must know about the master, and they are willing to let the prince and Mingli come and go, that is to say, ......, how did she forget, but she can go and ask Mrs. Chang Ningbo "Maybe Chang Ningbo can help."
Mrs. Xue Er was thinking about going to Changningbo's Mansion, and Yaohua in the Tao Mansion here comforted the eldest lady, "My sister is gone, my mother should be relieved, so that my sister can feel at ease over there......."
The eldest lady's eyes were already red and swollen from crying, but she still couldn't suppress it when she thought of Shuhualai, and heard someone outside: "Lang Zhong is here*......"
Only then did Yaohua hide next to the curtain and watched Lang Zhong come forward to check the pulse.
After a while, Lang Zhong went outside to prescribe a prescription and instructed the second wife of Tao, Wang, "The eldest lady is emotionally depressed and has injured her internal organs, and she will get better after taking a few doses of medicine, but she must not be sad anymore * ......"
Mrs. Tao Er was busy admitting that she ordered someone to get the prescription to grab the medicine and come back, and when Lang Zhong left, Yaohua Fang came out of the inner room, and Mrs. Tao Er sighed and said: "It's better to comfort and comfort my sister-in-law, I have gone now...... can only mourn and change. ”
Yaohua was told to shed tears, and waited until Mrs. Tao was gone" Yaohua went to the eldest lady's bed to serve again.
The eldest lady's eyes were a little stinging, and she still couldn't help crying when she closed her eyes, "Shuhua has left unclear, I must not allow the Zhao family to hastily handle her aftermath, and always ask for a gift so that she can ...... over there" I didn't know what to say for a while, I just felt that my heart was like a fire.
Yaohua held the eldest lady's hand tightly, "Otherwise, let someone invite Mrs. Cai over" The mother discussed with Mrs. carefully, maybe ...... "......"
The eldest lady said coldly: "I'm afraid it's just shirking" In the end, everything is done, what can we do." ”
Yaohua frowned and shed tears for a while, "Then what should I do?" Why don't you let the eighth sister go? I think Mrs. Cai is willing to talk to the eighth sister.
Rong Hua? The eldest lady glanced at Yaohua, "Rong Hua is now Mrs. Wu Muhou, Mrs. Cai must be giving some thin noodles, and the Zhao family has long wanted to win over the Xue family, but the Xue family is unwilling." Speaking of this, the eldest lady seemed to have thought of something, "You are also right to remind you...... Now the situation is different from the past" and said, "You tell me about the situation of Rong Hua's visit to Zhao's house last time*......"
Yaohua agreed and said again, "Mrs. Cai values the eighth sister very much, and Mrs. Cai also talked to the eighth sister for a long time before the eighth sister left. ”
The eldest lady nodded, when did Mrs. Cai and Rong Hua get so close, Shuhua reached a crisis and the two of them could still avoid everyone for a long time, Rong Hua didn't take Shuhua in his eyes, maybe he went to Zhao's house not to see Shuhua, but to use Shuhua's affairs as a cover.
The eldest lady smiled coldly, she had long suspected that the Xue family was not as dedicated to the emperor as it seemed on the surface, and she couldn't say what was going on behind her back, this time the Ministry of Industry was greedy for ink, and the spearhead was directly aimed at Prince Zhuang, who benefited? It's not the Imperial Concubine Party yet.
Just thinking of this, there was a humane outside: "Mrs. Uncle is here*......"
The eldest lady hurriedly sat up and leaned on the pillow, she waited for a day, and finally waited for her sister-in-law to come back from the palace.
My uncle's wife wore maroon makeup, and in addition to the rain gear, she had a smile on her thin face on weekdays, and she was bold in looking at people.
The eldest lady was busy asking Yaohua to get this year's new tea.
Taking advantage of Yaohua's departure, the uncle stepped forward and said three words in the eldest lady's ear, "Prince Zhuang*......"
