"Pardon two people? That's a very special request, who do you want to pardon? Sima Lun asked in surprise.

"Shi Zhixin and Jiang Xiaomo."

Not long after Sima Lun returned to Luoyang, although he heard that there was a Dr. Xin in the harem and a divine chef in the Treasure Department, he didn't know the specific name, so he asked, "Who are these two?" How does it sound like a woman's name? ”

"Back to the king, the two of them are indeed women. Among them, Shi Zhixin is the doctor of the "Book of Songs" in the harem, who was implicated because of his father Shi Chong and was sent to prison. Shu Yan replied sincerely.

At the mention of Shi Chong, Sima Lun was immediately stunned, he couldn't imagine why Shu Yan would intercede for the daughter of his political enemy. "As you said, that Shi Zhixin is the daughter of Houmen Shen and the female doctor of the harem, so it stands to reason that she has nothing to do with you, why do you intercede for her?"

After learning the truth about Zhixin being deceived by the Shi family, Shu Yan has always been resentful. At this time, although he was above the court, he couldn't hold it back, and said indignantly: "Speaking of which, there is a big secret here, Zhixin's real surname is Han, and she is not the biological daughter of the Shi family, but my fiancée in Ruyin's hometown, who was deceived to Luoyang by the Shi family's trickery. Shu Yan then told Zhixin's life experience roughly.

Zhong Wenwu was amazed when he heard Shu Yan's story, but he felt a little bizarre and couldn't determine whether it was true or false.

Suddenly, I saw a person holding a wat board and said: "Your Majesty, the king, what Shu Yan said, although the minister does not dare to assert that it is true, he can provide supporting evidence. ”

Shu Yan said Zhixin's life experience, and was worried that the ministers would not believe it, but he didn't expect that there would be someone to testify for him! When I looked up, it was none other than a favor. He wondered: Shi Hui has always been hidden in the city, and he has never been willing to express his position easily in the court, how can he be so kind and willing to help himself this time?

It turned out that the eldest princess of Yong'an secretly sent someone to the Shi family to pay tribute to Biyu was known by Shi Hui. He was angry and anxious, but he hated the eldest princess of Yong'an, he had no way to do it, and he didn't dare to attack. Zhengchou doesn't know how to salvage this situation. If you want your son not to marry Zhixin, there are only two possibilities: one is that Zhixin will marry someone else; The other is that she was executed together with the Shi family as the daughter of the Shi family. Now that her family has made a gift to her, and with the support of the eldest princess of Yong'an, it is unlikely that Zhixin will be executed together with the Shi family. In this way, the only hope is that she will be able to marry someone else. It just so happens that today is such a good opportunity.

"Shi Aiqing, what proof can you do for such a thing?" Sima Zhen asked.

"Speaking of which, Your Majesty probably knows." Shi Hui bowed his head, "Chen and Shu Yan are both from Ruyin." Chen had contact with Shu Yan and the Han family woman Zhixin he said more than ten years ago. The two families of Nashu Han have been close to each other for generations, and the two men and women are also very harmonious. thought they would definitely get married, but ten years ago, the woman suddenly fell into the water and disappeared on the way to Luoyang to find her father, and at the same time, the Shi family inexplicably had an extra daughter, and her name was also called Zhixin. Chen was a little suspicious at the time, but later, according to the insider's secret disclosure, it confirmed my conjecture. However, although the women of the Han family were uprooted and trapped in the Shi family, they were very miserable, but because of the situation of the Shi family, no one dared to speak. Fortunately, now that the Shi family has fallen, this woman's grievances can be revealed. My Great Jin Law stipulates that all daughters who marry shall not sit together because of the sins of their parents. Shu Yan and this woman have been in love since childhood, and they have been privately decided for life, and they are not the daughter of the Shi family at all, His Majesty and the king are magnanimous, and Shu Yan has made great contributions to the court, so this matter should be fulfilled. ”

Among the ministers of civil and military affairs, there were a few who were originally very sympathetic to Shu Yan, and after listening to what Shi Hui said, they felt that every sentence was reasonable, and they all said: "Shu Yan has made great contributions to the imperial court, and besides, this woman has not committed any mistakes at all, but she is only connected by the Shi family, and she can completely use Shu Yan's merits to offset this woman's crimes." ”

Of course, there was nothing wrong with Sima Zhen, and he immediately said to Shu Yan: "In this case, this woman can really be pardoned." Tell me about the other woman. ”

Shu Yan was very happy to successfully save one, and he also increased his confidence in saving Xiao Mo again. "That Jiang Xiaomo used to be the ...... of the Treasure Order"

"Treasure Ling Jiang Xiaomo?" The Manchu civil and military were amazed. At first, when Shu Yan mentioned the name "Jiang Xiaomo", everyone thought it was another person with the same name, but they didn't expect it to be the chef who sneaked away.

Wang Rong, who used to be Xiao Mo's boss, first questioned: "Jiang Xiaomo is obviously a eunuch, how can you say that she is a woman?" ”

At the mention of Xiao Mo, Sima Zhen immediately came to his senses, and asked in a row: "Yes, Jiang Xiaomo has been making a treasure order in the palace for many years, why don't I know that she is a woman?" Where is she now? I wanted to ask her, why didn't she say goodbye? I've lost my appetite for food! You say she has committed a crime, but is it because she pretended to be a eunuch and left her job without permission? ”

"Not because of that. She said goodbye because she had something to do with me, and she had to leave resolutely...... "For my private children's affairs, it was originally not suitable to be made public in public, but in order to save people, the situation must be explained clearly, and I can't take care of it much." Shu Yan detailed Xiao Mo's journey from entering the palace to his final departure and being affected by his uncle Jiang Liu.

After listening to Shu Yan's narration, Sima Zhen didn't care about what crime Xiao Mo had committed, only thinking that Xiao Mo would return to the Treasure Office to cook food for himself. "I pardon Jiang Xiaomo and ask her to return to the Treasures Bureau immediately."

Shu Yan was in ecstasy, he couldn't imagine that he would save both of them so smoothly. Who knew that before he could thank him, Sima Lun glared at him: "Your Majesty, no!" Neither of those women can be forgiven! ”

Sima Zhen was startled by this sound. As the supreme emperor, he can be regarded as expressing his opinion, but he was vetoed by his imperial uncle and ancestor, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak anymore.

Sima Lun originally intended to win over Shu Yan, and if it was any other criminal, he planned to meet his request. But the two people he asked for, one was the family of the Jia party, and the other was the family of the Qiang rebels. Jia Dang is his sworn enemy, and the Qiang rebels are the disasters caused by themselves, all of which he deeply hates. How could he have forgiven them so easily!

"Although Shi Zhixin is not born to the Shi family, since she regarded herself as the daughter of the Shi family when she was in the harem, and she has been for ten years, it shows that she has recognized this relationship and should be treated the same as the daughter of the Shi family. And she and Shu Yan had not yet married when they were in Ruyin, so they could not be regarded as the wife of the Shu family at all; As for that Jiang Xiaomo, he has no discipline in the imperial court, he threw away the entire Treasure and Cuisine Department and walked away without authorization, and as a relative of a traitor, it is even more unforgivable! ”

As soon as Sima Lun's words came out, the ministers who originally supported Shu Yan did not dare to speak. On the contrary, some ministers who wanted to curry favor with Sima Lun took the opportunity to welcome them. Some said: Although Shu Yan and the two daughters have some to do with each other, they are not married, they have no name as husband and wife, and they are not husband and wife, they are not relatives, and they cannot make up for the sins of the two of them with Shu Yan's merits; Others say: Gong is merit, and passing is excess. You can't forgive the sins of others because someone has made meritorious contributions, and you can't mess with the laws of the court.

The puppet is on the stage, and someone must always be at the mercy of the back, either the royal family or a relative, in short, it is the same. Sima Zhen was about to listen to Sima Lun's words and was about to veto, when he suddenly saw Sima Lun's henchman Sun Xiu stand up and said: "Your Majesty is above, you don't have to argue, you can't listen to one side of the word in anything, let alone involve such a key crime." The experiences of Shi Zhixin and Jiang Xiaomo mentioned by Shu Yan are bizarre, and the truth and falsehood of them need to be further confirmed. In Weichen's opinion, this matter should be handed over to Tingwei for interrogation and clarification before making a decision. ”

Sima Lun was very surprised, he didn't know why Sun Xiu would make a hindrance against his will, but he had always trusted Sun Xiu and had no reason not to obey him.

The situation in the current dynasty is that no matter what kind of government it is, the emperor obeys Sima Lun, and Sima Lun obeys Sun Xiu. It's not just such a small thing, even a national thing. Sima Zhen really followed Sun Xiu's words and ordered Tingwei to try the case.

Back at King Zhao's Mansion, Sima Lun immediately called Sun Xiu to him and asked, "The two people Shu Yan asked for pardon have the root of their crimes that I hate, and I don't want to be pardoned, why did Qing get in the way?" ”

Sun Xiu smiled faintly: "Don't worry about such trivial things!" Although the Shi family is the king's political enemy, and the Jiang family is said to be the thief hated by the king, their power is no longer there, and they are no longer a threat to the king, so why bother with these two little women and lose a good assistant? ”

Sima Lun didn't understand: "How do you say this?" ”

Sun Xiu took a step closer and said: "If the king wants to do great things, he must have a group of capable people and wise men around him to assist. I heard that Shu Yan is a steady, resourceful, and able to shoot a good bow, and he has a lot of ability, and he is a rare talent. If this man could serve the king, wouldn't it be a blessing for the king? ”

Sima Lun nodded again and again: "What Qing said is extremely true, and Lone also has this intention." I just smell that Shu Yan is upright and loyal, lest he refuse to be used by me. ”

Sun Xiu thought for a moment and said, "The king's worries are not unreasonable. We want to win him over and reuse him, but if he doesn't know how to lift, he will make a mistake. Why don't you give him a try. This time, he brought back the sweat and blood BMW from Dawan, which was exclusive to the Son of Heaven and kept in the stable of Taifu Temple. So the king asked him for one, and if he would give it to him, it would mean that he would be attached to him, and he might take him as his own, and then help him to pardon the two women. On the contrary, if he is obsessed and refuses to sacrifice his bloody horse to the king, it will not be too late to kill the two women at that time. ”

Sima Lun laughed when he heard it: "Great, wonderful. Just according to what Qing said. ”

Some people died, but not completely......
