Chapter 131: Escape the catastrophe and choose another mansion
Crying is even more sad than a girl's crying.
I almost cried like I was going to lose my strength.
Hua Zhen knelt aside and listened to Shen Chongmao's cry, and her heart was completely calm.
She knows the emperor, and Shen Chongmao knows how to deal with the emperor better than her.
The emperor didn't want to kill him, but if he cried like this again, the emperor would definitely take advantage of the situation and dilute the mud and give this matter a sigh of relief.
There was a chill in my heart.
Sure enough, I heard the emperor speak: "So that's the case." ”
Speaking in a casual tone, he shouted at Shen Chongmao angrily with three angers: "Shen Chongmao, you are really confused, you can't even control a daughter, and you actually have such evil intentions towards the county lord of Qinghe." This Qinghe county lord is the county lord of my own family, your daughter dares to murder the Qinghe county lord, this is a murder of the royal family, do you know what the crime is?"
Hearing this, Shen Chongmao knelt on the ground: "The emperor is angry, the minister knows the crime, the minister begs the emperor to punish, just ask the emperor to forgive the minister's daughter, she is still young, but she was spoiled by the minister, so she committed such a crime, the son is not the fault of the father, everything is the minister's fault, and please ask the emperor to spare her life." ”
said that he grabbed the ground with his head, and made the appearance of a loving father to the fullest.
In a few words, he turned this matter from white to black, pushed everything on Shen Yujing's body, picked himself up cleanly, and put on a loving father who loved his daughter in front of the emperor.
Seeing this, Prince Li couldn't help but snort coldly from his nose: "I didn't expect the Duke of Jin to be such a loving father, so that it is really impressive." ”
When the emperor heard this, he glanced at Prince Li, with three warnings in his eyes.
Prince Li was shocked in his heart, and he had to swallow his words back.
Only then did the emperor look at Hua Zhen: "Today's matter, you have been wronged." ”
Hua Zhen knew what the emperor meant by this, and he wanted her to let go of Shen Chongmao and step down with her grievances.
If he held on to Shen Chongmao at this moment, he would inevitably anger the emperor, which was not a wise choice.
Since the emperor wants to keep Shen Chongmao, he has no other choice, so it is better to let the emperor owe him a favor.
looked at Shen Chongmao's old tears crying in front of the emperor.
Ying Ying immediately bowed down, and there were two more tears on her face: "With the emperor's words, Zhen'er is not aggrieved." Since the uncle has found out the truth and returned Zhen'er's innocence, it is the best, Zhen'er has always been sincere to her uncle and aunt, and wants to be filial piety in front of her uncle, but she didn't expect to provoke her cousin's jealousy, and today's incident is also to blame Zhen'er, if Zhen'er didn't live in her uncle's house, she wouldn't have had so many things. It's Zhen'er's fault, the innocent aunt who killed her died, and Zhen'er is sorry for her aunt. ”
The emperor listened to Hua Zhen's words, sighed lightly, and thought in his heart, what a sensible girl.
I don't know how much I have been wronged.
Seeing that since she didn't pursue Shen Chongmao, she couldn't let her suffer all the grievances alone, so she comforted: "Don't blame yourself, this matter has nothing to do with you." ”
As he spoke, he looked at Shen Chongmao: "You have no way to teach your daughter, let your daughter do such a thing, today Zhen'er is not the county lord of Qinghe, and this matter can't be just settled." Your third daughter can't let go of the matter of trying to poison the county lord just because of a few words from you. Li Yu!"
"The minister is here. ”
"I ordered the three daughters of the Shen family to be arrested immediately to the Criminal Department, intending to poison the Qinghe County Lord, and the case must be investigated. The county lord cannot be allowed to suffer such grievances and wrongs in vain. After speaking, he looked at Hua Zhen: "Since you have lived in the Shen family and given birth to so many things, the Queen Mother has also mentioned it to me, after all, it is the only daughter of the Hua family and the county lord of Qinghe who has not been living in her uncle's house, so let me give you a mansion, but now it seems that it is a good way, I will find a mansion for you, and you can move out to live." ”
Hua Zhen didn't speak, but Shen Chongmao on the side had a very complicated expression: "The emperor's ministers still have a house outside the city, if the county lord is not suitable in Beijing, you can let her move to a house outside the city, and the ministers should do their best to take care of her, and there will be no more mistakes." ”
Hearing this, the emperor looked at Shen Chongmao: "Duke of Jin, Zhen'er is your niece no matter what you say, and she is also my niece, the dignified lord of Qinghe, who lives in your Jin Guogong's house outside the city." Is this to make the world laugh at me? I can't even reward a suitable house, so I let her find a mansion in Xicheng, and if there is no suitable one, let the Ministry of Industry rebuild it now, and let her live in Beijing. The Queen Mother likes the Qinghe County Lord, and she wants to live closer to the palace, so that it is convenient to enter the palace to copy the scriptures for the Queen Mother. ”
What the emperor said is meaningful.
Shen Chongmao was immediately silenced when he heard this: "What the emperor said is that the ministers know their mistakes. ”
"That's it, now that something like this has happened in your house, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for Zhen'er to continue to live. You go back to Beijing and have a look, but if there is a suitable mansion, if you find a suitable one, tell me. He gave her a county lord's mansion, and transferred twenty guards from the Jin Wuwei to be responsible for Zhen'er's safety. ”
Jin Wuwei is the emperor's guard, and the people who transferred Jin Wuwei to protect Hua Zhen are the supreme honor, but at the same time, it is also the emperor's monitoring and restriction of Hua Zhen.
Hua Zhen knew that she couldn't refuse the emperor, so she had to be respectful and thankful.
Shen Chongmao also received the order immediately.
Shen Chongmao just deliberately spoke to test the emperor's attitude, since the emperor did not let her live in the suburbs of Beijing, he wanted to leave her in Beijing. It shows that he still cares about Hua Zhen in his heart, otherwise he won't care where an orphan girl lives.
Knowing the emperor's thoughts, Shen Chongmao also began to calculate in his heart.
Fortunately, the emperor finally asked him to find a house, that is, to hand over Hua Zhen's life and death to him, and he happily accepted the order.
After all, what kind of house is it, and what is in it, after passing through his hands, others don't know.
Hua Zhen caused such a thing in the Shen family, and the Shen family was harmed so far, he couldn't let her move out so easily.
Thinking of the death of the eldest lady and the child that Shen Yuxin had lost, Shen Chongmao only felt very hated in his heart.
Prince Li on the side naturally knew their thoughts, looked at Hua Zhen, and immediately said: "Brother Huang, the courtier brother has an empty courtyard in the capital, which was originally a thing for the princess to marry, and it has been vacant for many years, which is comparable to the original Washington Mansion, so I will give that house to Zhen'er." ”
Prince Li's mind is the same as Shen Chongmao's, and he also wants to control Hua Zhen.
Although Hua Zhen no longer has the Heavenly Decree in her hands, and there is nothing valuable, she is the most valuable.
Those soldiers in the old department of Tiance are all people who were born and died with Hua Yan, and they may not recognize anything, but Hua Zhen, the young master, is something that no one will deny.
The emperor wanted to hold Hua Zhen in the palm of his hand because of this, and Prince Li didn't want Hua Zhen to fall into the hands of others.
Shen Chongmao, who was on the side, saw it, for fear that the emperor would agree to Prince Li's meaning, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, the minister is Zhen'er's uncle, this kind of thing should be done by the minister, otherwise the world will know about it, and I don't know how to scold the minister." Today's matter, the minister is already sorry for Zhen'er, so he asks the emperor for grace, allows the minister to make up for it, and asks the emperor for mercy. ”
As he spoke, he knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing.
Seeing this, Prince Li said coldly: "You can make the county lord of Qinghe suffer such grievances, no one knows what will happen behind his back, the county lord of Qinghe is the niece of the emperor, and now he chooses another mansion to stay away from your Shen family. ”
The two sides were at a stalemate for a while.
The emperor sat on the dragon chair and swept his cold eyes over Prince Li and Shen Chongmao.
In the end, it fell on Hua Zhen's thin body: "Zhen'er, I want to hear your opinion, what do you think about this matter?"
Hua Zhen knelt on the ground, but her heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
Immediately knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, the courtiers implore the emperor to let the courtiers choose a house by themselves." ”
"Oh?" the emperor's face changed when he heard this.
Hua Zhen immediately said softly: "Uncle and Prince Li are both well-intentioned, and Zhen'er understands in her heart that she doesn't want to lose anyone." Prince Li treats me well, and my relationship with Zhaoyang, if I rely on my uncle, I am afraid that I will disappoint Prince Li, and Zhen'er does not want to do this. Uncle is also Zhen'er's own uncle, he wants to be good for Zhen'er, if Zhen'er accepts Prince Li's courtyard, it is to say to the world sideways that Uncle treats Zhen'er not as he said, otherwise how can he not listen to his uncle's words. Zhen'er didn't want her uncle to bear such an infamy, so she thought that since this was the case, it was better to ask Zhen'er to find a house by herself, so that she would not make her uncle sad or disappoint. Please also ask the emperor for permission. ”
Hua Zhen deliberately provoked the contradiction between the two and did not mention their purpose at all.
Anyone who listens to it is right, even the emperor has to praise himself in his heart.
Immediately smiled and nodded: "Since this is the case, it depends on you, the ministers and the Duke of Jin, don't argue anymore, wait for Zhen'er to move out, the two of you, prepare more gifts to send over, don't make Zhen'er lose face, let the world think that she is helpless in Beijing." ”
Saying that, he waved his hand: "You all stand down, the Duke of Jin Guo stays, I still have something to say." ”
Hearing this, Hua Zhen understood that this matter was just mixed up by Shen Chongmao.
Although he was a little disappointed and made such a big move, Shen Chongmao just cried in the end, and introduced Shen Yujing to avoid the matter.
But I also knew in my heart that it was useful for the emperor to keep Shen Chongmao.
Now that Shen Chongmao's official position has been removed, all that remains is the title of Duke of Jin and a life.
Unless the emperor really has to do him, otherwise the emperor will only raise it high and put it down gently.
She already knew it in her heart, so she was disappointed at any time, but she didn't show half a point on her face.
Respectfully responded, and retreated with Prince Li and Li Yu.
Out of the Linde Palace, Li Yu arched his hand at Prince Li: "Lord, county lord, the minister has to go back and order someone to arrest Miss Shen San, so he will retire first." ”
Hearing this, Prince Li nodded towards Li Yu, and then looked at Hua Zhen, and saw that there was no one around, and only one eunuch was still following from a distance.
Persuaded softly: "Today you have been wronged, this king knows, but now you also see it, the emperor does not want to deal with him, as long as the emperor protects him, no one can touch him, and it is useless to spare this king." ”
Hearing this, Hua Zhen lowered her head, and her tone was calm without a trace of waves: "Does the prince know why his uncle was able to escape today?"
"What?" Prince Li frowned slightly as he listened to Hua Zhen's words.
I saw Hua Zhen raise her head, but she didn't look at him, just looked at the palace wall in front of her: "Naturally, the emperor is unwilling to kill him, and the most important point is that my uncle understands the emperor's mind too well and knows how to use the emperor's mind to turn the crisis into safety." It's to ask, what kind of attitude did the emperor have when he entered the palace?"
