Shi Junhe walked out of the imperial study, ignored the whispers of the minister behind him, and went back to the mansion directly.

But even then, the news spread much faster than he had guessed.

As soon as he entered the gate of the East Garden, and before he could go back to his bedroom, the people from Shou'an Hall came to spread the word, saying that the eldest princess had invited him to come over.

Shi Junhe looked at Shi Qingxue's puzzled gaze, sighed helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "Mother's news is really well-informed!" ”

"Daddy, what's wrong?" Shi Qingxue was so smiled by Shi Junhe that her heart tightened, and she always felt that something bad was going to happen.

"It's fine." Shi Junhe shook his head slowly and pushed Qingxue back into the study.

also patted her on the head and coaxed: "Wait here obediently, I'll talk to you when I come back." ”

After that, he followed the maid of Shou'an Hall.

Shi Qingxue stood at the door, and the bad premonition in her heart became stronger and stronger.

She is not an obedient master, Shi Junhe just stepped out of the door of Dongyuan with her front foot, and she ran out of Shi's house with her back foot.

————

When Shi Junhe came to Shou'an Hall, he saw Mo Shujun sitting in the living room, and his dignified face could not hide his anxiety for the first time, and his heart couldn't help sinking.

But he quickly sorted out his mood, stroked his two sleeves, and stepped forward to greet him: "I don't know if my mother called my son, what's the matter?" ”

Mo Shujun couldn't even wait for Junhe to say goodbye, so he hurriedly waved his hand, "What the hell is going on?" Why did the emperor dismiss your officials? What did you do? It must have been that he didn't do good deeds to make the emperor angry, otherwise it would be ...... with our family's reputation and status."

The questions came three times in a row, and Shi Junhe didn't even have room to interject, so Mo Shujun began to ask and answer himself.

Shi Junhe had to wait patiently for Mo Shujun to mutter, and then said comfortingly: "Yushi visited me to the emperor, suspecting that the Shi family was colluding with the rebels, although the emperor did not believe Yushi's words, but still let me recuperate at home temporarily." Mother rest assured, Your Majesty has no intention of dismissing me at present, but is just idle at home and ......"

"You have no official position, how can you save your talents?" Mo Shujun blurted out that she cared about Shi Juncai.

As soon as her words fell, both of them were stunned.

Shi Junhe originally thought that Mo Shujun at least cared about him—even if there was an element of family honor and disgrace—he was still very emotional, but he didn't expect it...... It turned out that the person Mo Shujun was most worried about and cared about the most was always Shi Juncai.

Shi Junhe lowered his head to hide the disappointment in his eyes, but he couldn't say anything more anyway.

There was an awkward silence in the air.

It stands to reason that Mo Shujun has just exposed her partiality, and at this time she should find a way to save her eldest son's heart.

But she didn't feel that she had done anything wrong, she admitted that she was partial to her younger son, but the younger son was not as old as the eldest son, and his status and ability were not as good as the eldest son, so shouldn't he get more love?

Shi Jun and this eldest brother should protect his younger brother.

The more Mo Shujun thought about it, the more dissatisfied he became with Shi Junhe.

It's just that he didn't show it on his face, and he looked very concerned about Shi Junhe, and persuaded bitterly: "Junhe, even if it's not for your brother, you can't just watch your official position be suspended and your title taken away!" The position of the Duke of Shi Guo is the title left to you by Yunyang, and it is the medal of his horse for most of his life, if it is taken back by the emperor like this, how can you see him after the death of this palace?

How will you account to him in the future? ”

Shi Junhe, the second generation of officials, was silent for a long time before he smiled at Mo Shujun and said lightly: "Now that the situation in the court is changing treacherously and unpredictable, ups and downs are commonplace, and my father will definitely not blame me." ”

Mo Shujun: "......"

The eldest princess mentioned Shi Lei just to arouse Shi Junhe's fighting spirit, after all, the things passed down to her ancestors were gone, and no one had the face to go down to see her ancestors.

Who thinks that Shi Junhe is still a wonder, or he really knows his father too well, and knows that Shi Lei fought on the battlefield and defended his family and the country, because he felt that it was their army that made the people of Mozambique, who were already in the midst of fire and water, suffer from war and the separation of relatives, so they always wanted to return the people to a peaceful and prosperous world.

As for the title, Shi Lei refused to be named a king with a different surname from the beginning, it can be seen that he never cared about his status, if it weren't for the first emperor insisting on sealing the position of the prince of other countries, Shi Lei would rather stay in the barracks as an ordinary general than wade into the troubled waters of officialdom.

Shi Junhe, as Shi Lei's son, was raised by him with his own hands, and even if he didn't learn all about his temperament, temperament, and ability, he was nine out of ten.

From the time he defeated the Liang army and returned to the court, Shi Junhe expected that something like this would happen today.

And he has been planning since then, and now Mo Xiangbin has no substantive evidence of the Shi family's crimes, at most, he is like today, and there will be no substantive action.

But it doesn't mean that Shi Junhe can't choose to retreat bravely at this time.

After Mo Shujun understood Shi Junhe's thoughts, she was furious, regardless of her image, and pointed at him and scolded: "What are you kidding? The Shi family can have today's honorary status, all of which are built and accumulated by Yunyang and the palace step by step, and the palace has been painstakingly operated for so many years, and it is not easy for the Shi family to really gain a foothold in Kyoto, which is not inferior to any other nobleman.

You are now refusing to do anything, and you have to watch the Shi family fall into ruin, is this the reason why you are a son of man? ”

Shi Junhe didn't want to make Mo Shujun angry, so he hurriedly shouted a few times, 'Mother is angry'.

When Mo Shujun calmed down a little, he sighed helplessly, "It's not that children don't want to fight, the purpose of our Shi family has always been to be strict with ourselves, abide by the law, be a pure minister by Your Majesty's side, and never participate in partisan disputes."

Even because of this, the child has been reluctant to let Qingxue marry Mo Junyang before, because he is afraid that our house will be labeled as a princeling. It's just that the tree wants to be quiet and the wind doesn't stop, no matter how low-key the Shi family is, there is no quarrel with the world, and those good people outside are still unwilling to let go of our family. ”

"And why don't we let them go?" Mo Shujun was very dissatisfied with Shi Junhe's cringe-like attitude, and said toughly.

There is a momentum that anyone dares to die if they disobey.

Shi Junhe: "...... Mother, Your Majesty is afraid of the Shi family because of the high and powerful position of the Shi family. If there is a reoccurrence incident, I am afraid that I will not even be able to protect the Shi family in the future! ”

Only then did Mo Shujun realize that what he had just said was a little impulsive, so he smiled and hurriedly explained: "This palace just said it so casually, and the top priority is to restore Your Majesty's trust in the Shi family.

I think that when your father was alive, the status of the Shi family in the court was even better than now, and it was still highly valued by the emperor's younger brother, who dared to disagree? However, after Yunyang passed the title to you, the influence of the Shi family army in the Mozambican army was reduced by a quarter, and you were often obscure in the court, which made the palace anxious for you! ”

Mo Shujun spoke very loudly, and her words were full of dissatisfaction with Shi Junhe's failure to meet her expectations.

She said it lightly, but she didn't think about it at all.

Shi Lei is the person who laid down the country of Mo for the first emperor, the two share weal and woe, and the friendship is extraordinary, the first emperor treats Shi Lei as a brother, so he naturally will not be suspicious.

Later, Mo Shujun married Shi Lei.

Princess Shi Leishang, even if he doesn't do anything, when he is a horse master who sits and eats and waits for death, I'm afraid no one will dare to disrespect him, not to mention that he still has an invincible Shi family army in his hands.

All kinds of conditions are concentrated together, of course, Shi Lei can be above 10,000 people under one person, and he is not guarded by the first emperor.

After arriving in Shi Junhe's generation, the kind of intimate trust between monarchs and ministers has plummeted, and monarchs and ministers are just monarchs and ministers.

Mo Shujun has not asked about the world for a long time, regardless of the harem of the court, his influence has been greatly weakened.

Shi Junhe has always adhered to his father's teachings, and he wants the Shi family to fade out of everyone's sight and be preserved.

But now that he has entered the center of the whirlpool again, he really feels that he has failed his father's trust.

"Mother, you were born in the royal family, don't you still understand a truth? His Majesty never needs a courtier he thinks may threaten the society, no matter how good it is, he will give it up! Shi Junhe sighed helplessly, and he didn't know how to explain such an easy-to-understand truth to Mo Shujun.

If you don't retreat bravely, just wait for someone else to pull you off the horse.

It's the same thing.

Mo Shujun didn't give up, but said: "Since this is the case, then regain Your Majesty's trust." His Majesty can be regarded as a grandfather who grew up, and his temperament is understood by this palace, as long as he is willing to trust you, then even if you are pointed out by a thousand people, he will be determined to protect you! ”

Shi Junhe opened his mouth, but suddenly had no words, so he had to humbly ask Mo Shujun: "I don't know what my mother's plan is to let the Shi family regain His Majesty's trust?" ”

"It's up to you to do it!" Mo Shujun sold a pass at this time.

Shi Junhe looked at Mo Shujun's face and guessed that the other party must have a clever plan, and he must have to pay a certain price.

Even if you don't believe that the other party really has such a good way, who doesn't want to be in a better situation?

He hurriedly bowed to Mo Shujun and said respectfully: "Of course Junhe hopes that the Shi family will be prosperous forever, if the mother really has any way, it will not violate the principles of heaven, but also allow the Shi family to gain a firm foothold in the turbulent court. ”

Mo Shujun was very satisfied with Shi Junhe's 'upper road', nodded, and said with a smile: "This doesn't require you to do anything dangerous, to be precise, it is someone else who needs to contribute this time." ”

"Who?" Shi Junhe frowned, and suddenly there was an ominous fishing rod.

"Qingxue!"

Shi Junhe pointed out expressionlessly: "Qingxue is just a weak woman, what can be done?" ”

Mo Shujun rolled her eyes almost indecently, spitting on Shi Junhe's decay, but the smile on her face was even more excited, "Why can't you do it?" We can let her marry the Fourth Highness! As long as Qingxue becomes the fourth princess, the Shi family will become the emperor's relatives again, and the Shi family army is the emperor's most loyal army, how can the emperor doubt the loyalty of the Shi family again?

And in this way, the Shi family is constantly prosperous, whether it is a large house or a third room, you can get great benefits, and you don't have to be scared and can't sleep every day for Tianwei like now......"

"Mother!" From the time Mo Shujun proposed to let Shi Qingxue and Mo Junhao get married, Shi Junhe was stunned and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

When Mo Shujun said more and more outrageous, Shi Junhe finally couldn't bear it anymore and interrupted the former's words, "Mother, do you know that Qingxue is a child's daughter, not a cargo." And she already has a crush on someone, and she will never agree to marry someone else. ”

Mo Shujun's face turned cold, and she reprimanded: "What are you talking about, Qingxue is the lady of the Shi family, and she is a well-behaved girl raised by our family with real money." Now that the Shi family is in crisis, shouldn't she do a part?

Besides, the order of her parents and the words of the matchmaker, even if she really has an opinion, she has to marry this palace obediently. ”

Shi Junhe was almost so shocked by Mo Shujun's shocking remarks that his eyes were about to fall out of the frame, and he endured it for a while before he reluctantly swallowed back the words in his heart.

His face was stiff, and he said coldly: "The child knows that the mother is for the kindness of the Shi family, but the child will not sell her daughter for glory no matter what, and exchange the happiness of her daughter's life for the glory and wealth of the whole family, and ask her mother to forgive me." ”

This is probably the first time that Mo Shujun has been rejected so bluntly by Shi Junhe, as if she was poured a basin of cold water on her head, making her freeze on the spot.

Before she was about to speak again, Shi Junhe lowered his head and slowly continued: "And this is also my father's wish before he died, wouldn't it hurt my father's heart even more if we let him know that we bullied his most beloved granddaughter like this after he passed away?" ”
