Yu'er listened to Fan Wencheng say in detail, it was the beginning of the year, the emperor debated with the ministers in Nanyuan, admired a Ming history compiler named Tuhai, and then transferred to the secretary of the academy, and after half a year, he went to the criminal department.

Since entering the Criminal Department, he quietly revised the laws and regulations with his colleagues, and submitted them to the emperor, asking for the deletion of the cool laws of the Ming Dynasty, removing the death row prisoners Changjia and box beds, avoiding the abuse of death row prisoners by the jailers, and destroying the torture instruments used by the Ming Dynasty Suppression Division, so as to prevent future generations from following suit.

After deliberation, the emperor played them one by one and carried them out, gaining an excellent reputation among the people.

Yu'er thought for a long time, and said cautiously: "The emperor is benevolent, these measures can indeed meet his wishes, and for the people, if there is an unjust, false and wrongful case, or negligent and bitter murder, it is also a good thing that he can be spared prison torture." But everything must be opposed, there are two sides to everything, mercy to the real prisoner, where is the justice of the victim? You have to remind the emperor to grasp the scale, the reason why punishment exists is not to really be carried out, but to deter the world. Instead of spending too much thought on the criminal law, it is better to tell the yamen at all levels in various localities not to have unjust, false and wrongly decided cases, not to let the people be bullied, not to have bullies and bandits run rampant, and that peace in the world is the long-term way. ”

Fan Wencheng said: "The queen mother is really calm, but now the emperor is happy, and the minister is thinking about it, and it is appropriate to tell him in a few days." ”

Yu'er said: "You can do this by yourself, your emperor is not happy at the moment, the court is smooth, and the backyard is always not peaceful." ”

"The ministers should not interfere in the emperor's family affairs." Fan Wencheng said, "The minister believes that the emperor himself will be able to deal with it." It is also common for sons and daughters-in-law in the minister's family to quarrel and fight, and the minister and the cheap have always been due to them, and if they say a few words, there will be fewer contradictions and misunderstandings. ”

Yu'er bowed her head, felt reasonable, and said: "You have to ask your wives and daughters-in-law to come into the palace to sit, they have been wronged with you for most of their lives, and they should live a good life." ”

Fan Wencheng was very sober and said humbly: "The ministers will naturally treat them well, but in the country and the imperial court, they have no achievements, and they really dare not accept the emperor's favor." The minister can be by the side of the emperor and the queen mother in this life, and do his best for the court, which is the greatest grace of the queen mother and the emperor to the minister. ”

Yu'er sneered: "You live for a long time, do your best." Later, he whispered to himself, "Are there still fewer people I sent away?" ”

At this moment, in Kunning Palace, Wu Keshan was guarding the crying queen, at a loss, and the daughters-in-law and daughters-in-law who were talking about Meng Guqing behind their backs were kneeling in the corner and trembling.

In fact, Wu Keshan knew Meng Guqing's arrogance and vicious words, but they shouldn't have mentioned it in this imperial city, they really shouldn't.

But Meng Guqing actually fought against his brothers, sisters-in-law and aunts in Cining Palace, and the dignified queen was unheard of.

"If it weren't for them, the emperor and I would have folded osmanthus flowers at this time, and we would be happy in Cining Palace." Meng Guqing gritted his teeth with hatred and roared fiercely, "It's all their fault, they just can't see me, I'm going to hang them up and whip them with a whip, and let the sun burn them alive." ”

"You save it, hey......" Wu Keshan waved his hand and asked the women to retreat, and the frightened ladies stumbled away.

"Give me back!" Where is Meng Guqing willing to follow, he chased after him and wanted to do it again, so frightened that they screamed again and again, Wu Keshan hit his head, grabbed his daughter back, and gave her a slap with his hand.

Meng Guqing fell to the ground, his face was red, and he glared at his father in shock and resentment.

"Stop, uncle, she is the queen of the Qing Dynasty, how can you do it." But at this moment, when Fu Lin arrived, he was startled by those noble ladies who fled in a hurry when he entered the Kunning Gate, and when he entered the door again, he saw Wu Keshan slapping his daughter.

Fu Lin walked over, grabbed Meng Guqing, who fell to the ground, with one hand, blocked behind him, glared at his uncle and said, "From now on, Meng Guqing's affairs will not bother my uncle." Horqin is busy with everything, uncle just leave your daughter here, and I will take good care of the queen. ”

Wu Keshan was overjoyed in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, blaming himself for failing to teach his daughter well, and after saying a lot of words, he left.

"Uncle, they're going back to Horqin." Fu Lin turned to Meng Guqing who was in a daze and said, "Don't you want to send it off?" ”

Meng Guqing looked at Fulin blankly, and Fulin rubbed half of her beaten face: "Hurry up and send it off, this time, I don't know what year we met, my uncle is also old, it is not easy to go back and forth such a long way." ”

"But......" Meng Guqing pursed her lips, her eyes were full of tears, and all kinds of discomfort in her heart were entangled, and she couldn't speak.

Fu Lin said: "Don't go quickly, I am here waiting for you to come back." ”

He gently pushed Meng Guqing to the door, and ordered: "Tana, wait for Niangniang to send your prince." ”

Tana, who was frightened outside the door, secretly breathed a sigh of relief and helped the queen to walk away, but Meng Guqing looked back at Fulin in three steps and made sure that Fulin would not leave, so he followed his maidservant.

The Kunning Palace suddenly fell silent, Fu Lin sighed and shook his head, Wu Liangfu said softly on the side: "Your Majesty, you are really the only one who can shock Niangniang, Niangniang, she cares about you very much." ”

Fu Lin frowned: "Are you smart?" ”

But Wu Liangfu is really smart, after the emperor went to the warm pavilion to rest, he ordered the little eunuch to fold the osmanthus flower, and then waited on the side of the road with his own hand, and when Meng Guqing came back, he smiled and presented the osmanthus branch.

The sweet smell calmed people's hearts, Wu Liangfu said: "Niangniang, the emperor is resting in the warm pavilion, waiting for you to speak, the emperor has pushed a few government affairs and came to see you." ”

Meng Guqing glanced at him, didn't say anything, and entered the palace with the osmanthus branch.

Under the bright autumn sun, in the mansion of Gushan Ezhen Tong Tulai, there is also the fragrance of osmanthus, Tong Yuanxi is standing under the tree and beating, the maids are busy picking up petals on the ground, preparing to make nectar to make flower wine, chattering and laughing, Mrs. Tong returned from outside the house, and when she saw this situation, she immediately turned cold.

Yuan Xi held the bamboo pole in his hand, pursed his lips and lowered his head, the maidservants slipped away as much as they could, and Mrs. Tong stepped forward and said, "Come in with me." ”

In the hall, Mrs. Tong sat on the top of her head, watching her daughter salute respectfully, and the bamboo pole that had just hit the flower branch became the whip in her hand.

Over and over again, the big ceremony was practiced countless times, and the little daughter couldn't help it and knelt on the ground and cried.

Mrs. Tong got up and said, "It's better for you to cry now than in the future." Xi'er, if you are unlikable and helpless in the palace, your mother will cry blind at home. ”

She took the handmaid's hand and left, leaving her little daughter kneeling alone in the hall, and not long after Tong Guogang returned, seeing this scene, he hugged his sister.

Yuan Xi lay on his brother's shoulder and cried, I don't know when his sister, who loves to laugh and love naughty, shed tears twice in three days, making him feel distressed and crazy.

The younger brother Tong Guowei ran over and gloated and said: "Big brother, E-niang taught my sister the rules, but my sister is stupid and can't study hard, so she loves to cry." ”

Tong Guogang was not angry in his heart, seeing that his younger brother was in the blessing and did not know who he was working for, he was angry for a while, picked up the bamboo pole that fell on the side, and beat his younger brother.

Tong Guowei cried wolf and was stopped by Yuan Xi, she wiped away her tears and said to her brother: "I don't cry anymore, brother, Eniang didn't beat me, I just cried when I was tired." ”

The younger brother ran away crying, and was about to go to his mother to complain, Tong Guogang gently wiped away his sister's tears, and said calmly: "Xi'er, if you like the emperor, you should go to the draft." Don't do it for Ama and brother, we're fine, it's a big deal to go back to Liaodong. ”

The elder brother said coldly "I like the emperor", which made Yuan Xi ashamed, looked at his brother with a red face, and said softly: "What did my brother say......

Tong Guogang bent down to pat the dust on his sister's skirt, cleaned her up neatly, squinted his eyes and praised: "They all say that the new queen is good-looking, I look at it, she must be inferior to my sister." ”

Yuan Xi asked curiously, "Has my brother seen the new queen?" ”

Tong Guogang said: "A glance at the paddock from a distance is quite beautiful. ”

"Oh......" Yuan Xi lowered his head and touched his skirt, "They all say that Horqin is the most beautiful and beautiful Gege." ”

"So what, I heard that there was a lot of trouble in the palace today." Tong Guogang was well-informed, shook his head and said, "Since she got married, she hasn't stopped." ”
