Regarding the intention of the eldest daughter-in-law of Rongguo, Jiang's family, Eleven Niang did not hide it from He Ye.

"Rong Guogong is really opportunistic, and I have to say that although he has no merit to the society, at least he can see the benefits and disadvantages clearly, and he is obedient and sleek to this point, no wonder Jing Zhaolu In the past twenty or thirty years, most of the children of the clan are greedy for fun and do not want to make progress, and they can still keep their prominent positions." He Ye said that, of course, he didn't intend to pay special attention to Jing Zhaolu, he stretched out his hand to caress the top of Chi'er's hair, reminding his son not to neglect his next words: "Courtiers like Rongguo Gong, whether they will harm the people depends on whether the monarch is virtuous, such as Suzong and Dezong two dynasties, Jingzhao Lu, as a relative, often runs rampant, occupies people's land, and bullies the weak are not less, even when your uncle is in power, the children of the Lu family dare to kill people in violation of the law, Lu Guogong's male grandson, there is a person who is famous, because his skills are not as good as people's jealousy, When he bowed, he assassinated the children of the family and fell from his horse, and unfortunately died of serious injuries. ”

Chi Er's eyes widened: "Then Lu Rui is really lawless, he dares to kill innocents!" Did the uncle let Lu Rui pay for his life? ”

"Lu Rui claims to be a mistake, and there is no evidence to prove that he was deliberate, and besides, Empress Dowager Lu is your uncle and grandmother, and your uncle is more or less kind to Lu Rui." He Ye was reluctant to discuss He Yan's mistakes, and his words meant to excuse Emperor Renzong.

"But when human life is at stake, how can you indulge the murderer to get away with it because of personal feelings?!" Chi Er retorted: "The prince said that Aya was determined to change the law, one was to alleviate the people's overwhelm, and the other was to restrict the nobles from bullying others, the intention was to enforce the law justly and protect the subjects. Although Lu Rui said that he had made a mistake, Aya knew that he had indeed committed a crime, so why did his uncle turn a blind eye and listen to the murderer's words. ”

His Majesty the Emperor was refuted and opened his tongue.

It was Eleven Niang who took the steps for He Ye: "The Great Zhou Dynasty governed the country with Confucianism, not the Qin Dynasty, and even if the Shang monarch changed the law back then, although the nobles and the common people were guilty of the same crime, but there were also princes who broke the law, and the prince could not be punished, so he punished his Fu Gongzi Qian, and his master Sun Jia, it can be seen that the law is strict, and all dynasties and dynasties cannot do absolutely, but this is a fallacy, of course, it needs to be reformed, and even if you are the emperor, there is no perfect person, since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, since Gaozu and Taizong talked about Wuzong, although it is a prosperous world, but the emperors of all dynasties, Serious consideration is a selfish act, but the merit outweighs the fault, and some slight selfish fallacies do not hurt the stability of the society, so it can be ignored. Since Yingzong and Suzong, the official system has gradually decayed, and Chi Er's uncle, that is, Emperor Renzong, is not a king who is determined to reform, so he governs, and there are many mistakes and far from justice. ”

The meaning of the queen's words is obvious, a mistake is a mistake, and He Ye doesn't have to insist on excusing He Yan just because he respects his brother.

But she followed up and said: "You Aya advocates innovation and strict laws, just to eradicate the malpractice and return the world to the sea to clean the river, but Emperor Renzong has shelter for you Aye back then, so Aya has great respect for his uncle, so he is unwilling to blame his uncle's fallacy, Chi'er should also understand that instead of caring about personal rights and wrongs, it is better to pay attention to the general trend of reform. ”

"Exactly, as your aunt said." He Ye was relieved and ashamed.

Seeing that He Ye didn't care that he directly reprimanded He Yan's fallacy, Eleven Niang's heart moved: It seems that although the saint respects Renzong, he doesn't feel that Renzong's trip is not wrong.

But of course, she will not be happy, because she understands that this is just a private discussion, not a public opinion, if the case of Pei Zheng is retried, whether He Ye is willing to publicly criticize Renzong's responsibility is another matter.

Chi Er naturally didn't know what was going on in his mother's mind, and he was still concerned about Lu Rui's fate: "Is it just to see the murderer go unpunished and not punished in any way?" ”

This kid has a jealous and hateful temperament!

He Ye smiled: "Don't worry, Lu Rui already deserves it, he was paralyzed in bed by Aye, and now he is seriously injured." ”

"Aye, this is a private punishment." Chi Er didn't save face for his father, but then he bowed his head and said: "But Lu Rui is also regarded as evil and has evil retribution, and Aya is doing the right thing for heaven." ”

He Ye was relieved and continued his teaching: "Rong Guogong was extremely protective of himself back then, but now, Aya Edict reformed the tax system, he actually took the initiative to return the good land he occupied in the past, and restrained the clansmen from resisting the new policy, although the purpose is still to be rich in the future, and temporarily abandon financial gains, but as long as they abide by the law from now on and have no offenses with the people, is it more beneficial to the society than those who are obsessed with financial interests and resist the king's order?" This is what Aya wants to tell Chi'er that courtiers like Rongguo Gong, although they are not pure ministers, as long as the monarch is virtuous, they are not unable to reform themselves. ”

Chi'er didn't refute his father anymore, and paused heavily: "My son understands, Aya is teaching Chi'er, and he must set an example in order to influence the prestige of his ministers, which is the so-called upward and downward effect." ”

"Exactly." He Ye was smug: "It is worthy of being my son, and there is no need for a hammer to sound the drum." ”

After sending His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back to Hanxiang Palace, He Ye said to Eleven Niang: "Rong Guogong sent a girlfriend as an alternative, saying that he wanted to help the queen, and the queen could just use Jing Zhaolu's woman to suppress those who were ready to move, Rong Guogong was not a descendant, Feng Jizheng and the others were dissatisfied, so they could fight with Rong Guogong." ”

"I have no intention of taking advantage of the innocent." Eleven Niang said simply: "Jiang's euphemistic statement, although Jing Zhaolu selected this lady to be beautiful, but gentle temperament is not a competitive person, it can be seen that the wisdom is still insufficient, and there is no way to deal with the open guns and hidden arrows, if she is used to suppress the Feng Party woman, or the Queen Mother's party members, if she is careless, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not harm her life, but Rong Guogong certainly has the intention of tricks, how can this woman be able to own her own fate?" I can't help myself, I already deserve sympathy, in the final analysis, I don't want to be the target of the public, so I let her fall into the deep palace, if I use such an innocent person again, I can't bear it. ”

It turned out that Eleven Niang's response to Xiao Xiaojiu's rhetoric was indeed not to excuse He Ye, He Ye originally intended to refuse, it was her way to advocate making an exception and simplifying, in this way, although more women can be prevented from innocently being involved in power grabbing, but if Jing Zhao Lu sent this one, he still can't get rid of bad luck, Eleven Niang is not sure whether He Ye will be emotional about the woman selected by the Lu family in the future, but let her use a weak person to block arrows for herself, she really can't convince her conscience.

Because in the harem, it is impossible to get rain and dew evenly, favoritism is the norm, if Jing Zhaolu chooses to send this woman, can not get the opportunity to serve the emperor, waiting for her will be the lonely old court, and no one will fight for her, Rong Guogong will not, the woman's father and brother are not qualified, she is just a pawn of the family at any time, and the person who caused her possible misfortune is Eleven Niang.

She didn't dare to put the bet on the unfathomable emperor's heart, all she thought about was how to protect herself, if she wanted to achieve the goal of redressing Pei Zheng's grievances, she couldn't affect He Ye's great cause of changing the law that he had to succeed, and she couldn't let the contradictions between the descendants and Du Yanzhi and others intensify, and even she had to compromise with Feng Jizheng first, her enemy was the Empress Dowager Wei, so she couldn't watch Feng Jizheng being completely co-opted by the Empress Dowager Wei and fight against her with a clear banner.

In the final analysis, Eleven Niang couldn't believe He Ye, all the expectations and promises of being an emperor, she believed in He Yan too much, believed in the warm man, the man who swore at least he would not listen to the slander and execute her family, but what was the result? She was still defeated miserably by the emperor's trade-offs, and He Ye had greater ambitions than He Yan, so the trade-offs she faced should of course be doubled.

She can't be the one to be left behind yet.

As the queen, she can't leave the handle of the queen mother, she can't be late because of a momentary obsession, and she can't fall short, this is her choice.

"Jing Zhaolu sent the girl to the draft, and the Ministry of Rites will determine whether she is selected or not, and I will not interfere, but Jiang also mentioned another person, that is, the daughter and grandson of Rongguo, and the name of the girl is Yuan......"

He Ye still had some impressions of Lu Yuanshang, but he was limited to his first name: "But outside the imperial city, the one who was humiliated by the Tubo barbarians?" ”

"Yes, she wants to enter the palace as a female official." Jiang carefully explained Lu Yuan's heart disease, as well as the resoluteness of forcing each other to die, but Eleven Niang only used a sentence at this time to hastily take it, and said: "After the tragedy of Lu Xiaoniang, although she was cared for and comforted by her family, she was ashamed of her inability to repay, I heard that Rong Guogong wanted to climb the descendants, so she invited herself to be a female official, and was willing to do her part for the honor and disgrace of the family. It is really that the monarchy is unable to resist the barbarians entering Beijing, so I plan to follow his wishes, but after all, the little lady Lu is from a princely family, and this matter should also be informed to the saint. ”

He Ye frowned and said: "Then Lu Yuan is the concubine of the Rongguo Mansion, I also have some insight into the rudeness and domineering of the Lu family's daughters, for no reason, why should I be willing to be a slave?" If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, didn't the queen suspect that Lu Yuan had other intentions? ”

It's not that I don't have doubts, but I doubt them too much.

But Eleven Niang is extremely insistent on this matter: "Shengshang, Lu Xiaoniang is just a lady, although she was a little rude and willful in the past, but Cardamom suffered a tragedy in her year, and her temperament inevitably changed greatly, because of the trauma and accumulation of heart, the more her family cared for her, the more she had a guilty conscience, and wanted to repay her family, and it was precisely because of her strong nature that the saint questioned whether she had other intentions, was it too arbitrary?" I have already agreed to see Ayuan, and if I pass the assessment, I am indeed enough to take on the position of a female official, and I plan to follow her wishes. ”

Seeing that the queen insisted, He Ye also thought that there was no need to refute, and said: "I believe that the queen's eyesight must be enough to judge her words and deeds and intentions. ”

is inevitably a little uncomfortable in her heart, as if the queen treats these women who have never met, let alone relatives and friends, and is more attentive than him!

But He Ye was really a little ashamed because of the selection of the harem, and he didn't want to be unhappy with these trivial personnel and affect Eleven Niang's opinion of him, so in a blink of an eye, he smiled again, pestering Eleven Niang's endless sweet words, attracting a pair of parrots under the window, and even straightened his neck and opened his voice to recite "My Fair Lady, Gentleman is good", vaguely this is not Daming Palace, as if the time of Jinyang Wangfu's hidden residence, when the victory and defeat were not scored, the ambition was not reached, all the barriers have not yet emerged, and the planning of ten years has been gradual, But it seems to be a stolen quiet and quiet, between them, they are still far from parting ways, and they are still in the same boat.
