When Wanning mentioned the courtiers, Gao Junming said disdainfully: "Some are just some villains who have fallen into the ground, and they are just warm and cold, and the world is cold." ”

He sat cross-legged on the ground, poking his stick against the hard ground. After pondering for a moment, he raised his head and said, "Wanning, with your character, you won't run to the prison to see my jokes like them." You're not here to visit me, are you? ”

"Uncle, you've always been so smart. Wan Ning just wants to hear you explain it to me in person. ”

"Explain what?"

"The Gao family and the Li family are world friends, and they want to conclude an in-law, one is prosperous, and the other is lost. Uncle, don't you understand this? But you fanned the flames when your father was demoted. ”

"Even so, there must be priorities and priorities."

Wan Ning suddenly realized: "Uncle means to focus on the Gao family?" Yes, from the time when my father was demoted, you have succeeded, and you can only focus on the Gao family. ”

"Even if I'm not for myself, I'm not selfish. Your words feel right, but let me tell you, you can lose both, not all glory, how could the emperor let the two important ministers of the court form a marriage party? At that time, your father's demotion was the best solution. It is a good thing for the emperor and Yu Gao and Li to be both. It's just that I didn't expect that the emperor would demote him to Sichuan. Your father was out of luck. ”

"Indeed, whether to degrade officials or not, the decision is up to the emperor. But the fire you lit, uncle, is not small. Wan Ning said with tears in her eyes, "Later, Zuo Linghong wanted to kill my father directly, but you didn't stop it." The Gao and Li families are world friends! You usually fight, but when your life is at stake, you don't save you when you die. ”

After saying this, Wan Ning couldn't control herself, squatting on the ground, tears falling from her eyes. Gao Ziang also squatted down, accompanied by a slight sigh, and then took her into his arms.

Gao Junming was very decisive: "I don't know about this. He was trying to kill people out of personal vendettas, how would I know? Why did he have to tell me? Besides, he is determined to kill people, and he will not tell me if he knows the relationship between our two families. Do you think courtiers are genuinely friends with each other? It's all about profit. My relationship with the old Zuo family, how can I catch up with your Li family? Anyway, our two families also have a quasi-in-law relationship. ”

Wan Ning felt a little more comfortable when she heard this. After a while, he got up and said, "Why doesn't Wanning care about the love between the two families?" I have long found out that Uncle you have embezzled tribute, and some items of the Gao family are not of a standard that a courtier can enjoy. You are already powerful and powerful, and if you add the misappropriation of tribute, you will be sentenced to death by the emperor. But I didn't tell the emperor about this fact. ”

Gao Junming pondered for a moment and said, "Take back your Li family's property, and I will manage it for you during this time." ”

"You're only thinking about these possessions? Tell me, will I not agree? My father hasn't turned over yet, uncle, Wan Ning hopes that you can go to your father's grave and say 'I'm sorry'. ”

Seeing that her uncle was silent, she said, "When my father was still alive, you instigated others to come to the emperor to list crimes and frame him. Now that everyone is gone, you still have to use money to entrap officials and slander him. so that he died and died, and he still had to bear notoriety. We are quasi-in-laws, and we are world friends, how can you bear it! You are chilling again and again, but your father still endures you again and again. At the expense of his reputation, he gave away all the wealth of his family, just so that his daughter could have a better time in the Gao family. Uncle, Wanning wants you to apologize to your father, is this too much to ask? ”

"Your father's place, I've been there. As for saying that you want to restore his reputation, this can only be decided by the emperor. ”

Wan Ning turned to him sharply, and she was surprised. After a while, he reacted and said, "Okay, uncle, I believe in you." Trust that you will not tell lies in the face of the dead. I will try to exonerate you in front of the emperor. ”

At this time, two or three jailers came over and shook around a few times, although they did not say anything, everyone understood that they were urging the visitors, and the time for visiting the prison was not short.

After Gao Ziang said a few more words to his father through the prison door, the two left.

Wan Ning, who was sitting in the carriage, had a complicated feeling. I used to hate my uncle so much, but now I can't bear to see him in prison. At this point, he also agreed to all his requests.

"Wanning, you said that you want to exonerate your father, I don't think you should be in a hurry." Gao Ziang, who was sitting next to Wan Ning, suddenly opened his mouth.

"Why? You don't want your uncle to get out of prison soon? Uncle is getting old, don't you worry about him? ”

"No, because I think that since my father is in prison, it will definitely take a while for the limelight to be suppressed before I can mention it to the emperor. Mother is thinking the same way. ”

Wan Ning suddenly straightened up, turned her face to him, and said, "That's right! Auntie's mother's family, your grandfather is a dignified and respected man. As long as he is willing to speak, his uncle will be safe. ”

In fact, his grandfather came forward to intercede, and Gao Ziang didn't know if the emperor would give this face, so he didn't express his opinion.

Wan Ning said slowly: "In the past, I always felt that my uncle was exquisite and knew how to be an official. Seeing him in prison today, I realized his danger. Because he is your father, my sister knows what it is like to lose her father and family. I don't want this disaster to befall you. ”

Gao Ziang was moved for a long time, and after a long time, he said in a deep voice: "Thank you, Wanning." ”

"Why do you thank me! Besides, my uncle was originally in a high position, how can I be a little woman who can control life and death? ”

"Not thank you for this,"

"Then thank you for what?"

"I thank you for having me in your heart."

"It's about your father's life and death, and you still love and love?"

Gao Ziang was a little confident: "He was only imprisoned, and he was not punished." If you don't have it now, there is a high probability that you will not be punished. When he is released from prison should depend on the emperor's intentions. ”

"I hope so." Wan Ning felt much more down-to-earth, "I left in a hurry today and forgot some things." You go back and order someone to send two quilts to your uncle. It was cold and cold in that prison. ”

"Yes! Madam. Gao Ziang responded decisively, and then praised, "It's still my sister Wan who is careful." ”

"Who's your wife?"

"My father has been imprisoned, and the other officials who framed your father have also been punished, are you comfortable? Come back to me when you're comfortable. You can marry me comfortably this time, right? He let out a long sigh of relief.

"Of course I want to come back to you. However, you see that my uncle is in prison at this time, and the Gao family hates me to death, so you don't fail to see their attitude. ”

"Because they didn't see the whole and the real you."
