Emperor Yan Wen was originally a person who ate soft and not hard, but seeing Hua Zhen like this at this moment, he immediately frowned and asked, "Why did Zhen'er cry like this?"

Hua Zhen knew that Li Yu entered the palace first, and he must have already told all the ins and outs of this matter, and Emperor Yan Wen was still asking like this at the moment, but it was on purpose.

This attitude is very obvious, and he didn't ask Shen Chongmao about it, he just planned to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Hua Zhen didn't say anything when she heard this, but just shed tears silently.

Originally, Emperor Yan Wen thought that if Hua Zhen opened his mouth, he would follow his words to comfort him and expose the matter, but now seeing that Hua Zhen didn't want to open his mouth at all, he just knelt on the ground and shed tears.

Rao is Emperor Yan Wen couldn't help but feel upset: "Zhen'er, if you have any grievances, just say, don't cry anymore, if others don't know, I'm afraid I will say that I have wronged you." ”

Hearing this, Hua Zhen kowtowed respectfully and said: "Zhen'er has no grievances, but she is afraid when she thinks of what happened the day before yesterday, first my cousin killed me in order to poison me, and someone put it in the county lord's mansion as a poisonous scorpion, and then an assassin." Zhen'er is now alone in Beijing, and she really doesn't know what to do. I also asked the emperor to tell Zhen'er how to live in peace. ”

Hua Zhen's words suddenly burst into tears, there was no evidence or accusation, but she made it clear that the Shen family was poisoned.

Emperor Yan Wen looked at Hua Zhen's daughter, who was only sixteen years old, kneeling on the ground, and asked himself how to live safely and steadily, no matter how hard his heart was, he softened at the moment, and looked at Hua Zhen and couldn't help sighing: "It's that I can't help you, and I can't protect you." ”

After speaking, he looked at Shen Chongmao, even if he didn't want to deal with him in the first place, he had to give Hua Zhen an explanation now.

Thinking in my heart, I was even more angry, I told you thousands of instructions, but you couldn't listen to it at all, and you were stunned to bully an orphan girl into this field.

If she is not given justice today, the civil and military officials will know how to look at this matter in the future.

Thinking in his heart, he immediately made a decision and looked at Shen Chongmao: "Shen Chongmao, but your daughter wants to poison the county lord of Qinghe?"

Hearing this, Shen Chongmao hurriedly knelt on the ground, and said again and again: "The minister is guilty, it is the minister's daughter who has no way, and the minister's third daughter and fourth daughter are twin sisters. But she didn't expect that Yulin did this kind of thing in order to avenge her sister, and the minister didn't dare to ask the emperor to spare Yulin, she intended to murder the county lord, and she deserved it. I just hope that the emperor can see that for the sake of her surrendering and confession, he can leave Yulin a whole corpse. ”

Saying that, he cried even more, and in front of Emperor Yan Wen and Li Yu, he didn't care about the slightest image.

Hua Zhen watched Shen Chongmao start wiping his tears in front of Lin De Palace, and began to sneer in his heart, this method is really easy to use.

The last time the eldest lady died, he also cried in front of Emperor Yan Wen, and then covered up this matter, and now he wants to use this trick again.

Although Hua Zhen could see through Shen Chongmao's thoughts, he also had to admire, he really grasped the emperor's thoughts very accurately and knew how to follow Emperor Yanwen's wishes.

Right now, Shen Chongmao did these things that made Emperor Yan Wen unhappy, but Emperor Yan Wen didn't have the heart to kill him, so seeing Shen Chongmao like this, he immediately sighed: "How do you let me say that you are good." As the Duke of Jin, he can't even control his own daughters, so how many things have happened to your daughters, you can tell me about it yourself. The county lord of Qinghe is your nephew and their cousin, but they have repeatedly attacked the county lord of Qinghe. Shen Chongmao, Shen Chongmao, how do you let me say that you are. ”

Shen Chongmao kowtowed again and again when he heard this, crying like an old tear, as if he couldn't be killed on the spot.

Hua Zhen immediately said faintly: "If they just want Zhen'er's life, Zhen'er will be fine, it will be a life after all, and it will be given to them." Zhen'er was just afraid that because of this, the world would scold her uncle and the emperor, so she felt uncomfortable. ”

Hearing this, Emperor Yan Wen looked at Hua Zhen, and immediately frowned: "How do you say this?"

"Zhen'er is the county lord of the emperor's own title, and the jade butterfly is not said to be a golden branch and jade leaf, but it is also a golden book and jade seal. My cousin did this to me, I was afraid that if this matter spread, the world would say that the Shen family, the Duke of Jin, because of the emperor's favor, dared to be so lawless in private with the concubines in the family, and did not take the law of Dayan in his eyes, even if it was the county lord who was personally appointed by the emperor, he did not put it in his eyes at all.

If today's incident is heavily punished, I am afraid that my uncle and cousin will hate me even more, and if the punishment is light, I am afraid that the civil and military officials will mistakenly think that my uncle is really covering the sky with one hand. What Zhen'er is most afraid of is that she is afraid that others will misunderstand, saying that the reason why my cousin will attack me is not because of the side, but because of her uncle's instructions. Otherwise, how could a daughter from a concubine have such the courage to dare to attack the county lord canonized by the emperor. I'm even more afraid that others will misunderstand my uncle, and I think my uncle is a ruthless person and an unscrupulous person. If it's just Zhen'er's life, Zhen'er is just worried that this matter will affect the court, and affect the officials' views of her uncle and the emperor. People are terrible, and the emperor is afraid. Hua Zhen said and wiped her tears.

Suddenly, Shen Chongmao and Emperor Yan Wen both changed their faces.

What she said stepped on Emperor Yan Wen's bottom line, and the last thing any emperor liked was for his ministers to gain power.

Not only do you not like it, but you can't even listen to it.

Compared with other emperors of previous dynasties, Emperor Yan Wen is even more so, in her previous life, she followed Zhao Ting, which was to use Emperor Yan Wen's suspicion to deal with many ministers.

Shen Chongmao naturally knew it, and immediately looked at Emperor Yan Wen with a panicked expression: "The emperor has no such thing, and the ministers will never dare to have any disobedience." ”

Emperor Yan Wen didn't speak, but just looked at Hua Zhen and Shen Chongmao's eyes very complicated.

After a long time, he spoke: "What Zhen'er said is right, Shen Yulin dares to openly poison the county lord, this is the law that does not have my Dayan in his eyes, if I don't punish it severely today." It will make the world laugh, and it will be a murder of the monarch in the future!"

"Your Majesty..."Shen Chongmao didn't expect that the matter that was originally in his hands would be reversed by Hua Zhen's words.

Immediately, I began to be afraid.

Sure enough, I listened to Emperor Yan Wen say: "This matter has far-reaching implications, I must severely punish it, otherwise I won't say what will happen in the future!"

Saying that, he looked at Shen Chongmao: "As the Duke of Jin, you have no way to teach your daughter, let your daughter attack the county lord of Qinghe twice, and you don't take the law of me and Dayan in your eyes at all." Shen Yulin plotted to kill the county lord of Qinghe, and talked about the law of the nine clans, I see that you have made a lot of contributions to the country, and the merits and demerits are offset by the merits, and you are full of people. But you, the Duke of Jin, don't have to do it anymore, from today onwards, you will give me a good time to reflect at home, when you will teach your own daughter well, when you will go out again! As for your daughter, according to the laws of Dayan, she will be executed at noon tomorrow!"

Hearing this, Shen Chongmao's heart jumped, and he immediately knelt on the ground, his face was pale, and his voice trembled a little: "The minister obeys the order, long live Emperor Xie Wu, long live, long live." ”

Emperor Yan Wen didn't seem to want to look at Shen Chongmao anymore, so he immediately waved his hand: "If you don't leave, don't you want me to send Jin Wuwei to send you!"

Shen Chongmao had to kowtow respectfully three times when he heard this, and then bowed and retreated.

Emperor Yan Wen asked Li Yu to retreat again, leaving only Hua Zhen to kneel in the main hall.

When only Hua Zhen and Qin Guifei were left, Emperor Yan Wen glanced at Hua Zhen: "It's true that they are wrong this time, but he is your uncle after all, Zhen'er sometimes has to remember that you have to be forgiving and forgiving, don't do anything too much, this will only cause trouble." ”

Hua Zhen looked at Emperor Yan Wen when she heard this, knowing that he was forced by himself to dispose of Shen Chongmao today, and at this moment he was beating himself with words.

Although he sneered in his heart, he responded respectfully on his face: "Zhen'er understands." ”

"I hope you really understand, now that I have taken the title of the Shen family, Shen Yulin naturally can't run away from the death penalty, and losing the title is a big blow to the Shen family. Even if you have suffered a thousand grievances, I am also angry with you now, and today's matter is over like this, don't mention this matter again when you go back, do you understand?" Emperor Yan Wen said and looked at Hua Zhen's eyes with deep meaning.

Zhen'er understood. ”

"It's good to understand. Hearing this, Emperor Yan Wen looked at Qin Guifei: "Concubine Ai, you will accompany the Qinghe County Lord for me, after all, I have encountered so many things, I can't say that I am a little scared, you comfort and comfort her for me." ”

Hearing this, Concubine Qin immediately responded respectfully: "Yes." ”

After speaking, he looked at Hua Zhen and turned around when he saw that Emperor Yan Wen had already turned around with a tired look.

immediately retreated with Hua Zhen.

After leaving the Lin De Palace, Qin Guifei pulled Hua Zhen by her side, and said while walking towards Yanxi Palace: "You should see what happened today, the emperor doesn't want to make a move against the Shen family, and it's better not to make trouble in front of the emperor in the future, which will only make the emperor disgusted with you, and it won't be good for you." ”

Hearing this, Hua Zhen said softly: "Concubine Xie reminds you, Zhen'er understands." ”

Hearing this, Qin Guifei looked at the look on Hua Zhen's face, and sighed lightly: "I know your temperament, I can't swallow this breath, thinking that I will force the emperor to have to do something to Shen Chongmao, but Zhen'er is still young in the end, and the emperor's thoughts are absolutely guessable to you." Right now, you are forcing him to take Shen Chongmao's title, but this is nothing to the Shen family, a title is taken by the emperor when he says he will take it, but if the emperor thinks of it and gives it to him, he will give it to him. But what about you, when you knelt on the Golden Palace and said this today, I am afraid that it will already make the emperor feel bored. Now that the matter of Wei Guogong has not been resolved, there is only one emperor you can rely on in the capital at the moment, and the people in this capital are used to seeing the wind and the rudder, and whoever the emperor likes, they will curry favor with whom, if you look at the emperor's changed face, don't say anything else, I'm afraid that it is hard to say whether you can survive in the county lord's mansion for three days. ”

Qin Guifei said with a long sigh: "What I said is definitely not alarmist, you are a smart person, you should know right and wrong." ”
