At noon the next day, the entire Ning Mansion was dressed up to greet her, and her overly enthusiastic attitude made Mrs. Ning a little cramped.

It wasn't until I saw my little daughter, who had been separated for more than a month, that my smile bloomed.

Ning Shu's pretty face also had a reassuring smile, and she took Mrs. Ning's hand and asked softly, "Where is my father?" ”

Mrs. Ning responded: "Your father was taken away by Lord Xie when he first entered the city gate, saying that he was summoned by His Majesty. ”

Old Madam Ning listened with her ears pricked up, and her face was wrinkled with a smile.

Second Master Ning and Mrs. Ning glanced at each other when they heard this, and the two nodded in agreement.

The Ning family may be about to return to its former glory.

"Brother and sister, are you tired of traveling all the way? Quick, let's have lunch first, let's go in and talk about what's there. ”

It's been a long time since Mrs. Ning has entertained Mrs. Ning so sincerely, and everyone in the hall can't help but get goosebumps......

Xuanyi Temple.

Ning Zhengjie lifted the hem of his front skirt and knelt on the ground solemnly: "The grass people knock on the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

"Aiqing is flat." The emperor looked at Gonggong Su majestically, and Gonggong Su understood, shook the dust in his hand, and took all the subordinates in the hall out.

In the huge Xuanyi Palace, only Xie Yunyan, Ning Zhengjie, and the emperor on the high dragon chair were left, and the emperor got up and walked in front of Ning Zhengjie, and said indifferently: "Aiqing, you didn't want to tell the truth about what happened back then, but now you can prepare in your heart?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the grass people went to Beijing this time because they listened to Lord Xie's lobbying, and they didn't dare to deceive Your Majesty anymore."

Ning Zhengjie took a deep breath and told the story of the year......

……

Walking out of the Xuanyi Palace, Ning Zhengjie asked Xie Yunyan uncertainly, "Lord Xie, what is Your Majesty's mind...... The old man really can't see through it, and he asks Lord Xie to make it clear. ”

said that he might be the real culprit who changed the account books back then, but the emperor's expression was a little darker, and he didn't make any decisions.

only said lightly: "I know." ”

Then he returned to his normal complexion, and Feng Ning Zhengjie returned to the Ministry of Officials and served as the waiter of the Ministry of Officials.

Ning Zhengjie refused to explain to the emperor after many years of words, is it not because the dragon has reverse scales?

Compared with him, a courtier, even if the emperor knew that it was the account book exchanged by the four princes, but the ugliness of the family was not allowed to be publicized, how could the emperor punish the four princes?

If you don't kill Ning Zhengjie to kill your mouth, it's all merciful.

Thinking about it and feeling afraid, Ning Zhengjie stopped and waved his hands at Xie Yunyan: "Master Xie, did the old man do something wrong?" ”

Xie Yunyan smiled gently, and straightened Ning Zhengjie's body with both hands, "Lord Ning, now that you and I are at the same level, you are still an elder, and you have tormented me with so much courtesy." ”

"Moreover, how can you and I guess Your Majesty's thoughts?" Xie Yunyan spoke slowly, glanced back at the main entrance of the Xuanyi Palace, but saw Gonggong Su hurriedly walked out, turned in the other direction and disappeared.

He continued: "However, Your Majesty is a wise monarch through the ages, and your Excellency is at ease, Your Majesty's words are in your heart, and your family's family must not worry about life. ”

With Xie Yunyan's assurance, Ning Zhengjie felt a little relieved.

Not long after the two of them walked out of the palace gate, Gonggong Su walked in front of the four princes with his waist bent, and did not stop until he arrived at the Xuanyi Palace.

The voice of the male duck is like a crow hovering on the palace wall, whimpering and loud.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty is waiting for you in the palace."

The fourth prince nodded slightly, the cold arc of his lips turned to sincerity, and he strode into the Xuanyi Palace.

In the palace, the emperor was concentrating on writing on the dragon case, and the four princes asked Andao: "The son and the emperor see their father." ”

The emperor's eyes did not rise, his hands did not stop, and his mouth was silent, and the four princes could only kneel in the hall in a posture of greeting.

After a long time, the incense burning on the desk was extinguished, and the emperor put down the pen in his hand, and glanced indifferently at the four princes kneeling in the hall, "You are here, get up." ”

"Thank you, Father." The fourth prince got up unhurriedly, "Father summoned his sons, but what's the matter?" ”

His expression was as usual, and his voice was as calm as ever.

The emperor smiled slightly and beckoned to the fourth prince, "Come here, look at the painting I just wrote, what do you think?" ”

The fourth prince received the order, stepping on the steps step by step, slowly moving towards the position he dreamed of.

"Pre-emptive?"

It is the four big characters that the emperor has just written.

The fourth prince looked at the emperor as if innocently, "Shu Erchen is stupid, he can only see that the handwriting is sonorous and powerful, and it is a rare good word." But it is difficult to understand the meaning of my father's words. ”

The emperor took away the white jade paperweight pressed on the paper, pinched the two corners of the rice paper, handed the paper to the fourth prince, his eyes narrowed slightly, and said casually: "I remember, there is a eunuch named Xiao Junzi next to you, right?" ”

The calm eyes of the four princes always looked at the four big characters, and responded casually: "Yes, Xiao Junzi has been with Erchen for many years, and he accidentally provoked the queen mother last year, and the queen mother has already killed the cane." ”

He suddenly panicked and said, "Could it be that Xiao Junzi did something that his sons didn't know?" ”

"Dead?" The Emperor's slightly narrowed eyes thought back to the thin figure.

As the mother of a country and the master of the harem, the queen rarely gets angry.

After being reminded by the four princes, he suddenly thought that he seemed to have really had an anger last year.

On that day, the wind was beautiful, and the emperor rarely visited the imperial garden with the queen.

Unfortunately, I bumped into a little eunuch who was arranging a favored Concubine Lotus behind her back......

The sarcasm between the words is that Concubine Lian is a demon concubine of the country, and her crime should be punished.

The words are vulgar and the sentences are unbearable.

was so angry that the emperor didn't see the person's appearance clearly, so the queen understood and ordered Gonggong Su to take the person down to be killed.

"I see......"

The emperor suddenly figured out the cause of the incident and smiled: "Well, it is also a wise move to get rid of the root cause of the trouble through the hands of the queen." ”

The fourth prince took a step back in fear, bowed down and saluted: "Erchen never dare, Xiao Junzi has been by Erchen's side for many years, and Erchen didn't find out that he was so harboring evil intentions, thanks to the discernment of his father and mother." ”

"Hahaha." The emperor looked up to the sky and laughed, "Then Liu Shilang of the Ministry of Officials was transferred to the Ministry of Rites, and it was also your handiwork, right?" ”

"This ......" The fourth prince furrowed his brows, and followed the emperor's words: "The housekeeper of Liu Shilang's family pointed out that the main Shilang was meritorious, or the ...... that his father personally ordered him to be transferred to the Ministry of Rites."

At that time, the emperor thought that Liu Shilang was greedy for appetite and did not repent, and he was calm on the surface, but his selfishness was to let him study the way of Qi Guo as an official.

But when the decision was made, the words of many officials kept lingering in his ears, which influenced the emperor's thoughts.

"Good, good, good!"

Three in a row, the emperor smiled even more on his face.

The four princes in front of him are the most like him among his seven sons.

Good at scheming, do things without leakage.

No wonder Ning Zhengjie returned to Beijing, he still had no fear.

"I don't care if you play tricks, but remember, don't rush it."

Immediately, he retracted the four big words, and sighed slightly: "It seems that you have already memorized the meaning of foresight." ”

Put away the smile, the emperor is no longer the kind father, but the king of a country high up.

That majesty can't allow the four princes to be lucky.
