The emperor smiled slightly, dropped a son on the chessboard, and asked with a smile while blocking her way: "The day before yesterday, did you know about the case of your eldest uncle's horse wounding people in the western suburbs?" ”

Lin Qingwan nodded, "Yesterday morning was very lively, and the minister lived on the edge of the imperial city, so naturally I heard some news." ~With~Dream~Small~Say~щ~Suimеng~Lā"

"Di Shangshu said that it was your doctor who treated the villagers' injuries?"

Lin Qingwan "snapped" and dropped a piece, just to eat one of the emperor's chess pieces, she picked it up and smiled slightly: "I only found out when Di Shangshu came to the door." ”

After that, he told the details of Dr. Xu going up the mountain to collect medicine the day before yesterday and meeting the villagers of Dalin Village when he went down the mountain. This is the truth, it can stand up to investigation, Lin Qingwan is frank and frank.

The emperor looked at her carefully, and saw that she was not worried about the Xie family at all, so he couldn't help asking: "If you had known about this matter a day earlier, would you have informed the Xie family and asked them to deal with it early?" ”

Lin Qingwan smiled, raised her eyes to look at the emperor and said, "How to deal with it, is it confined for three days?" ”

The emperor didn't know why, if he didn't know her well, he would almost think that she was sarcastic about his Hongzhou affair only about the confinement of the second prince.

"Your Majesty, although the prince cannot commit the same crime as the common people, he must also deal with it impartially, so as not to ignore the law set by the sages and courtiers. Otherwise, if there is no punishment for sin, is not the law in vain? Lin Qingwan said: "So you can rest assured, even if I knew about it earlier, I probably just turned a blind eye and wouldn't cover him." ”

The emperor frowned, "I know it's illegal but I don't see it?" ”

Lin Qingwan dropped the chess pieces and signaled that the emperor could continue to play, she winked mischievously and smiled: "Isn't this the Book of the Law?" ”

The emperor was a little embarrassed for a moment, he coughed lightly and said, "You are a king, he is a minister, so naturally he is not in this list." ”

The case of receiving praise and reward after the righteous killing of relatives is only applicable to the other party's rebellion, otherwise, under normal circumstances, the husband's family breaks the law, and as a secret report such as a daughter-in-law, it is actually a board, and even exile if it is serious.

Because the court does not support family members to tell each other, on the contrary, it is reasonable for the father to break the law, the son to conceal it, the husband to break the law, and the wife to protect it.

If the father breaks the law and the son goes to denounce it, although the court will sentence the father according to the law, the son will also be punished, and the reason is to sue his relatives.

That's how the law of this age deceives the son.

That's why Lin Qingwan dared to tell the emperor that she would not shield the other party, but she could turn a blind eye.

Of course, she didn't actually turn a blind eye, and the emperor didn't believe her and turned a blind eye.

After playing half a game of chess, after he gradually showed defeat, the emperor withdrew his hand, looked at Lin Qingwan and asked, "I heard that Mrs. Xie is now in Taoist Qingxiu, when will she come back?" ”

"It depends on the situation, it can be as short as three or five days, as long as one or two months, and I will always come back when my mother is well."

The emperor understood that Mrs. Xie was deliberately hiding out, and he couldn't help shaking his head and asking with a smile, "Xie Hong is your husband's grandfather, isn't it good for him to be a scholar?" ”

Lin Qingwan also withdrew her hand, looked up at the emperor Zhengse and said: "Your Majesty, it is naturally more beneficial than disadvantageous for him to be a scholar for the Lin family, our two families are in-laws, and he doesn't have to do anything for the Lin family, as long as the world knows that I am Xie Hong's granddaughter-in-law, and he is the head of the household, our Lin family will always have a lot of convenience in Jiangnan." ”

The emperor nodded slightly, it was this reason, which was why he couldn't understand why Lin Qingwan sent Mrs. Xie away at this time.

No matter how big the family conflict is, Xie Hong is the Shangshu, Mrs. Yu, Lin Qingwan and the Yang family behind them, the Lin family is always beneficial.

"However, the household department is the household department of the beam, and Shangshu is an important minister of a country, why should we think of the interests of the family before thinking of the interests of the country?"

The emperor is silent, doesn't everyone put the family first?

"My brother said that before the country is at home, there is a country before there is a home, and Lord Xie is good for the Lin family to be a scholar, but it may not be good for Yu Daliang." She said: "He can't even solve the affairs of the house, how can he manage the treasury of Daliang?" ”

The emperor was slightly moved, before the country was at home, how many of the ministers in the court could have such thoughts?

Lin Qing deserves to be Lin Qing!

Di Shangshu on the side was also moved, thinking of Lin Jiang's arrangement before he died, obviously he was still thinking about Daliang at that time, and couldn't help but feel ashamed of his previous suspicion of Lin Qingwan.

He finally stopped being a mural, stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, what Lord Lin said is right, although Lord Xie personally escorted Xie Yiyang to my criminal department yesterday, he bailed him out this morning. ”

What's more important is that he remembered a case that still hangs on Xie Yiyang's body - the death of his brother Xie Yiming.

Although the Xie family did not report the case at the time, the matter was quite big at that time, and he also paid attention to it, although there was no definite evidence, but all the clues pointed to Xie Yiyang, and he also had a motive.

But after the incident, Xie Yiyang was only locked up for three days, and what Lord Lin said just now was obviously ironic.

The Xie family brothers killed each other, Xie Hong, as a parent, not only couldn't stop it, but he couldn't even punish him fairly, how could he manage a country's household department?

Although he is capable, his character is clearly lacking.

The emperor pondered for a moment, raised his eyes and stared at Lin Qingwan and asked, "So Xie Yiyang will go to the western suburbs to set up a horse and hurt people, and it has nothing to do with you, right?" ”

Lin Qingwan was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "In my heart, the lives of those dealers are not inferior to his. ”

So how could she use their lives to design him?

The emperor heard her subtext, and naturally heard her disdain for Xie Yiyang, and he didn't know what kind of expression to show for a while.

After all, no matter how unbearable Xie Yiyang is, that is also her eldest uncle, should she bury the other party like this?

After Lin Qingwan left, the emperor looked at Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and Di Shangshu immediately said: "The minister can see that she is telling the truth, but I am afraid that someone else will interfere." ”

The emperor laughed angrily and snorted: "A Hubu Shangshu has blown up all the cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods. ”

"But Your Majesty, it is true that Xie Yiyang set his horse and hurt people, at least in this matter, no one coerced him."

The emperor remembered what Lin Qingwan had just said, and his eyes deepened, "Severe punishment, it is the autumn harvest, as the son of an official eunuch, it is just a matter of not setting an example, and even trampling on the crops and hurting people, it is simply unreasonable!"

The person was re-detained and the Xie family was not allowed to be released on bail. ”

Di Shangshu breathed a sigh of relief and got up to respond.

The emperor sighed and said, "I am really short of people. ”

"Your Majesty, the selection of materials is rather lacking than indiscriminate, although Lord Xie is capable, but he is too good to favor the eldest grandson of the family, when the county horse fell off the horse and died, Xie Yiyang, who was involved, was only imprisoned for three days."

The emperor glared slightly, what did Lin Qingwan mean by what he said just now?

The emperor frowned and shook his head, "Xie Hong is old, and he is confused. ”

When Di Shangshu heard this, he knew that Xie Hong was hopeless, and he didn't know who would be so lucky to pick the fruit of Hubu Shangshu.

The next morning, Di Shangshu knew that as soon as he went to court, the emperor threw two bombs down, one was to let the four princes go to the household department to observe the government, temporarily take charge of the household department, and ordered the left servant of the household department to assist the four princes and advance to the next level.

The second is to agree to Zhong Ruying's request to thoroughly investigate the blockade of Hongzhou.

The emperor looked at the morning dynasty that was as lively as a vegetable market, and smiled with satisfaction, isn't it going to be lively, then everyone is together, he can't have a good life, then no one should live a good life.

All the ministers looked at Xie Hong with some sympathy in their eyes, although it was not decided that he would be the head of the household department before, but he was the closest person to that position, and now he ......

Everyone shook their heads, so the children and grandchildren of the family can not be interested, but they must not cheat their fathers and grandfathers.

When you go back, you have to lock people up at home for a few more days, and don't come out to cause trouble before the emperor's birthday.

Xie Hong had no discoloration on his face, but Xie Yan couldn't hide the disappointment in his eyes, and he didn't even speak at the entire court meeting.

After leaving the court, he went over to follow his father, planning to discuss Xie Yiyang's affairs with him.

Although he hates iron and steel, he is his only son, and he can't really leave people in the prison of the Criminal Department.

Who knew that before getting into the carriage, Xie Hong, who had a calm face, suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood, which frightened Xie Yan and screamed, only to find that the occasion was wrong, he hurriedly supported his father, lowered his voice and asked, "Father, are you okay?" ”

Xie Hong closed his eyes, leaned against the wall of the car and said, "Go home, quietly invite a doctor to come and see, don't go out quietly." ”

Xie Yan couldn't care about his son who was still in prison, so he hurriedly asked the coachman to go back quickly.

The Xie family only invited the doctor in from the corner door on the front foot, and Lin Qingwan knew it on the back foot.

She thought for a while and said, "Let people keep an eye on the doctor, ask if they can, ask if they can't ask, look at what medicine he grabbed, write it down and tell Doctor Xu." ”

Yi Han responded, bowed down and said, "There is another person in the palace, saying that His Majesty wants to see Young Master You, ...... you?"

"Your Majesty may have to personally inquire about Hongzhou's affairs, you let them clean up, and I will take them into the palace in a while." Thinking of Lu Yu, who finally appeared some time ago, she twitched the corners of her mouth and said, "Go and find Lu Gongzi and them back, they are all going to go." ”..

Lu Yu is taking his two brothers to participate in the literary meeting, and the paperwork they lost has been refilled, and they can continue to participate in the imperial examination, but their fame is a little small, so they are working hard to become famous.

In the past few days, I have been running out of various literary and poetry meetings almost every day.

In addition to the three brothers of the Lu family, there were Lin You and Zhou Tong who wanted to enter the palace to meet them, and only one Shang Mingjie was left among the six people who experienced life and death together.

Lu Yu looked left and right, and felt that meeting the emperor was a rare opportunity, so he couldn't help but ask Lin Qingwan, "Aunt Lin, why didn't Brother Shang come?" ”

Lin Qingwan smiled slightly and said, "I have already sent someone to call him, but he is now being punished and confined by his father, and Lord Shang has never liked to drill camps, maybe he won't let him come, so let's go to the palace first." ”

It was obviously self-deprecating, but everyone heard the taste of sarcasm from it, Lu Yu and the others had a chill down their spines, and they didn't dare to mention it again, so they mourned for Shang Mingjie in their hearts, and then happily entered the palace with Lin Qingwan.

If they can show up in front of His Majesty, maybe they have a better chance of winning.
