Chapter 234: Living Up to the Trust

Chapter 234 lives up to the trust

Rong Hua leaned on the head of the bed and fell asleep in a daze, I don't know when his body was lightly placed on the bed, and Rong Hua opened his eyes. ()

Xue Mingrui was lying on his side on the bed, looking down at her.

"Master Hou is back."

Xue Mingrui's eyes were clear, and he closed his eyes slightly and stretched out his hand to cover the veil on Rong Hua's body, "It's a secret report from an official of the Ministry of Officials, and I know who is collecting evidence of the crimes of civil and military officials, so I am asked to take someone to search." ”

Rong Hua raised his eyes slightly, it turned out that this was the case, no wonder he would send a blank post, and he would quietly avoid people's eyes.

Xue Mingrui said: "Now almost no one in the Manchu Dynasty is not greedy, a few years ago, the emperor wanted to rectify the rule of officials, but there were no capable ministers, now this method seems to be for the country and the people, but in fact it is ......"

"In fact, it is used for partisan disputes. Even if the evidence is true, the intentions are not right. Rong Hua continued, "Besides, the collected evidence may not be presented to the emperor. ”

Xue Mingrui looked at Rong Hua, her lips curled slightly, she only said a few words to her on weekdays, but she could always see things through at a glance.

As soon as the emperor left Beijing, Prince Zhuang began to investigate this matter, that is to say, the collection of criminal evidence of civil and military officials has nothing to do with Prince Zhuang, so only the Guifei Party and Prince An's Party remain.

"My father and Zhao Xin, the Marquis of Yicheng, have had a close relationship over the years." Gu Ying took Tao Zheng'an's handle first, which means that the person behind Gu Ying is not a concubine.

Then only Prince An remained.

Should this case be investigated?

If you don't investigate, you will inevitably be involved in partisan disputes, and if you don't investigate, you will be suspected of watching the whole thing develop.

"Prince An naturally hopes that the Hou Ye will not investigate." Not only Prince An, but the entire Xue family meant this.

No wonder Xue Mingrui hesitated, no matter who he was, he had to think clearly, it was easy to make a decision, but he had to bear the next consequences.

"If Hou Ye interferes, it will inevitably anger Prince Zhuang, and Prince Zhuang will definitely try his best to deal with Hou Ye." Speaking of this, Rong Hua's eyes lit up, "The Queen Mother didn't follow the emperor to accompany the capital." ”

The emperor asked the imperial concubine Niangniang to accompany her, and Concubine Jing stayed in the capital while pregnant, "Although Concubine Jing is favored, she can't dominate the harem." ”

The emperor handed over the affairs of the capital to Prince Zhuang, or was there someone in the capital watching everyone's every move.

That person is the Queen Mother.

"Last time, the Hou Ye was left in the palace, and the concubine went to the palace to send clothes to the Hou Ye, which was also the intention of the Queen Mother." Rong Hua raised his head to look at Xue Mingrui, "Tomorrow, the concubine will try to hand over the sign to the palace to meet the Queen Mother." The queen mother has been concerned about the old lady's illness, and the concubine is embroidered with flowers and grass poems, and the flowers on it are drawn by the old lady herself, and the queen mother may like it when she sees it. "Rather than speculating here, seeing is believing.

No one knows the emperor's mind better than the queen mother.

"Rong Hua." A voice that was more mellow than usual rang in my ears.

What he did, she never objected, his eyes sank, how lucky he was, he lowered his head and pressed his soft lips to her forehead.

"Don't force it, after all, it's in the palace that I can't take care of outside. Others are just momentary gains and losses. ”

Rong Hua bowed slightly.

It's not a one-time win. If you make a mistake in your political career, you may lose the emperor's trust forever. Many people can't guess the emperor's thoughts, although there are many famous ministers who have leaned towards the government and the opposition throughout the ages, few of them can start and finish well, and she can understand Xue Mingrui's thoughts.

King Xuan still bears the reputation of a rebellious minister and thief.

Xue Mingrui left the house early in the morning, and Rong Hua cleaned up in the room and went to the old lady's house to say goodbye.

As soon as he entered the house, Li's mother greeted her.

Rong Hua looked at the unraised curtain.

Mother Li said softly: "The old lady just got up. ”

The maids rolled up the curtains, and the old lady's voice came from the back room, "It's Ronghua here, come in."

The old lady had just combed her hair and asked Rong Hua, "Have you had breakfast?" ”

Rong Hua nodded, "I just ate it." ”

The old lady smiled, "It's not interesting for me to eat alone, you go with me to have some dishes and snacks." ”

A table of chic meals, the dim sum is made of ingenuity, Rong Hua took two pieces and tasted them, and the taste was also very good, but the old lady rarely moved the chopsticks, and only ate some and let people withdraw, and Mother Li was worried beside her.

The old lady rinsed her mouth, asked her to bring a cup of tea, and after eating some tea, she said, "I don't want to eat when it's hot." ”

Rong Hua stepped forward to help the old lady up, and entered the inner room to speak, there was no one near the left, Rong Hua then spoke, "Recently, the Queen Mother has rewarded a lot of things, I wonder if I want to enter the palace to thank you." ”

The old lady's eyes lit up and she looked at Rong Hua, and Mother Li next to her was also slightly stunned.

Rong Hua said with a smile, "I just embroidered the old lady's painting into Yingluo, so I think the queen mother may like it when she is sent to the palace." ”

The old lady bowed her head, "I was also thinking about whether to enter the palace, but I didn't expect you to go with me." ”

No wonder the old lady got up late this morning, and the breakfast was very well prepared, it turned out that she wanted to bring her illness into the palace to meet the queen mother.

The old lady looked at Rong Hua kindly, "When is the embroidered Yingluo, show it to me." ”

Rong Hua smiled slightly and ordered Chunyao to fetch Yingluo.

"It's not a special way to draw, it's just the painting that the old lady gave me last time, and I think it's better to embroider it and save it."

The old lady smiled, "It's hard for you to have a heart." You still remember what you said last time in the palace. ”

Rong Hua lowered his head and smiled.

She wasn't the only one who remembered, otherwise she wouldn't have remembered the old lady at the mention of it.

A seemingly unimportant move in the palace has a deep meaning.

After a while, Chunyao took Yingluo.

Mother Li showed it to the old lady, and the old lady looked at the red gauze embroidered Yingluo, and reached out to touch the black velvet embroidered cursive characters, "It's better than what I painted, originally these poems were also made on a whim when I was young, and the words are also copied from the ancestors. "This painting was made by her when she was alive, at that time she liked to be cool, I don't know the troubles, and the painting I made was a little chic, and now I pick up the old things and look at them, it is inevitable that I have mixed feelings.

Rong Hua said: "If the old lady likes it, I will embroider another one for the old lady." ”

The old lady nodded and looked at Mother Li.

Mother Li slowly withdrew and closed the partition door.

The old lady raised her eyes and showed a kind smile, "I heard that your mother met that Daoist Fang when she was offering incense in the temple, and Daoist Fang said that our Xue family has had a bloody disaster recently?" ”

After all, the matter reached the ears of the old lady.

Rong Hua held his breath and said intently: "It's just the nonsense of the Jianghu Warlock." ”

The old lady nodded, "I heard that you have been persuading your mother. You're a good boy. Know that rumors stop at the wise. After a pause, he said, "The queen mother is not young, and the queen mother doesn't ask about many things in the palace, only about the emperor...... After all, mother and son are connected. "The old lady has agreed to her going to the palace.

Rong Hua nodded.

The old lady smiled: "Okay, let's go and prepare"

In the Tao Mansion, Xiangzhu came back from outside and entered the house, looked at the little maids in the room, and the little maids immediately lowered their hands and retreated.

Yaohua sat upright at her desk and copied Buddhist scriptures.

Xiang Zhulai picked up the ink strip and grinded the ink, watched Yaohua finish writing one, and then said in a low voice: "The prince's Geng post was sent in, and Mr. Yin and Yang said that it was a first-class marriage." Chang Ningbo's meaning is to let the young lady pass through the door earlier. ”

"The eldest lady said that after all, the main room of the prince passed away within a year, and I am afraid that people will gossip. That Mrs. Liu said that there is an exception to everything, if our family is willing to agree, Chang Ningbo's family will ask the emperor for a favor. ”

This time, Gu Ying's case was re-arraigned, and looking at this frame, it was bound to get to the bottom of it, otherwise Rong Hua would not have made the idea of letting his father resign and take refuge.

She hardly had to bother to inquire about this matter, as long as she looked at Rong Hua's attitude, she could know the severity.

If her father is really implicated, there will be no hope for her marriage.

The world changes, and there are many dreams at night.

It's hard for him to come up with such a solution. Under this "disease", it is inevitable to marry relatives and be happy, and such examples are not unprecedented.

Even if she can only have a formal banquet for a year after the chapel, she has to move into Changningbo's Mansion, and in terms of name, she is already the wife of the prince.

Xiangzhu said beside him: "The prince of the world can be regarded as worthy of the young lady's trust. Said and smiled, "This year, the flowers and plants in our yard are growing exceptionally well, and I think Miss will be like these flowers and trees, and she will have a better year than a year." The lord and the wife both said that they would prepare more dowries for the young lady, and the wife settled accounts with Chen's mother every day these days, and even the steward on the Zhuangzi went into the house to reply, as well as hundreds of acres of paddy fields in the south of the Yangtze River...... The dowry given by Chang Ningbo's Mansion will definitely not be less, don't look at Miss Eight's marriage to the Hou Mansion, but it will not be more than Miss. ”

As long as the "illness" of the son of the world has not improved, she will marry out soon.

In Chang Ningbo's mansion, Ren Yanfeng and Chang Ningbo talked.

Chang Ningbo's face was gloomy, and Ren Yanfeng smiled on the side, "Father, don't be angry, this matter has the advantage of making a big fuss, I said that if I don't go to the yali if I am sick, maybe I will be suspected of being sick, and I want to avoid incidents when I am sick." It's okay now, I can't have a vacation when I marry a wife and come back, as long as I don't have a round house for the time being. Besides, isn't my father afraid that our family will be implicated in case of the Tao family's incident? It's just a stepfamily who married back for Chongxi, where there are many relationships, and my father will get out when he has this reason. ”

Chang Ningbo gradually loosened his eyebrows when he heard this.

Ren Yanfeng said with a smile: "Prince Zhuang asked us to do it, we have done it, and then we will wait to see a good show." Many nobles followed the emperor to accompany the capital, and there were not many people in the Beijing camp who had led soldiers, and some people had already mentioned Xue Mingrui, Marquis of Wumu. At that time, if there is an abnormality in the Beijing camp, and someone accidentally 'reverses' me, although I am serving in the Beijing camp, I am sick at home, and no matter how prosperous this fire is, it has nothing to do with us. What kind of faction and bribery are trivial things that are not enough to kill, isn't this what the emperor hates the most? ”
