Chapter 34 Response
"Killing the mother" is "evil rebellion", a heinous sin. The matter of the Duke of Qi has now spread all over the world. Even those who have not studied the law know how to deal with this matter.
But at this time, Yan Tian didn't dare to answer easily. When she remembered her father's advice: The capital is not as good as Luozhou, and the palace must be more cautious in words and deeds!
This is the coldest and most majestic place in the Empire, and it is home to some of the most powerful men in the world. That supreme power has even deified those who possess it. No words, just a look, a sigh, and the most insipid gesture can instantly destroy a living life, and even the splendid prosperity of a clan for hundreds of years......
Power is the largest and most ferocious monster in the world, and it stands silently behind those who possess it, casting a heavy shadow over the mortals in front of it, giving them the power of gods, but also the arrogance and willfulness of gods.
At this moment, prostrate at the feet of such a "god", Yan Tian finally fully comprehended the old father's good intentions during the night talk in Los Angeles that night. I have lived too wanton and carefree since I was a child, but it is all because "the sky is high and the emperor is far away", and "it is good to enjoy the shade with my back against the big tree".
And when she really faced the behemoth of monarchy, she was so weak and powerless that she could not even make those nobles pity more than the weeds under the stone steps outside the hall.
Yan Tian, who has always been flying uncontrollably, felt the impact and shock that she had never felt in her sixteen years of life at this moment. It was also at this moment that she first thoroughly reflected on the empire in which she lived, and her insignificant insignificance in this vast empire.
"Why don't you speak?" There seemed to be a hint of impatience in the Queen Mother's voice.
Yan Tian's thoughts were pulled back in an instant, she hurriedly bowed her head, and replied carefully with nervous words: "Back to the Queen Mother, before making a judgment, you should familiarize yourself with the file, personally interrogate the suspect, verify the evidence, ask for evidence, and understand the original and ins and outs of the case." When the ancients interrogated suspects, they even advocated that they should first "listen to five things", and all of them were left behind, including their complexions, words, breath, hearing, and eyes. After all, the major event of criminal prison can be as good as a person's imprisonment, or as serious as the life and death of the whole family. In this case, Yan Tian did not read the case file for verification, and did not interrogate the suspect, he did not know the facts of the case, and he did not understand the reason, so he did not dare to make assertions in front of his mother. ”
"Hehe, what a clever mouth!" The Queen Mother seemed to have finally lost her patience, put the tea bowl on the table, and sneered, "After talking for a long time, this big talk is like saying nothing!"
"In this matter, no less than ten people have come to Mourning's house to say that 'the case is clear and the evidence is ironclad'. There are no less than ten people who come to say something, 'The son avenges the father, it is justified'. Hehe......"
The Queen Mother laughed more and more sarcastically, "The group of people who said 'ironclad evidence is like a mountain' have a righteous and awe-inspiring face, but most of them are selfish. If you only want to avenge the bitter master, you can do it. But most of them are just greedy and insufficient, and want to exchange a human life for the future title of their children and grandchildren.
"Those who say, 'The son avenges his father, it is justified', under the banner of sharing my worries, is just a high-ranking official, prosperous and rich.
"Now there are more slippery girls like you, a cloud and mountain fog cover, to put it ambiguously, but no one can be offended! How? But you think my wife is so foolish?! Even a little girl like you doesn't have a word of truth in her mouth! ”
The Queen Mother's temper seemed inexplicable, but Yan Tian understood. The group of "righteous people" who said that "ironclad evidence is like a mountain" are naturally the Lu family of the Duchess of Pingguo and their relatives and friends. Maybe there are distant relatives of the Pingguo Gongbenzong. According to rumors, in order to fight for the title of duke of Naguo, many people of the Fang clan strongly advocated "righteousness and annihilation".
As for those who say that "the son avenges his father, it is justified", it is naturally to please the queen mother. Knowing that the Queen Mother, the Buddha, intends to protect the only bloodline of the Fang family, how could no one rush to "share the worries" for the Queen Mother?
In fact, this case is not difficult, it makes sense whether the son of the Fang family is alive or dead. And the queen mother and the emperor are afraid that they have already made up their minds for a long time. It's just that whether this "truth" can stand and whether it can block the mouths of the people depends on the ability of the people below.
That's why the original Jingzhao Yin Bao Yingbai will be so procrastinated and delayed. He doesn't have the ability, let alone the guts! or risk the world's disapproval, and in the end, he was killed by the words of the people, and became a faint official who was afraid of power. or completely offend the queen mother and the emperor...... That's a place to die!
Yan Wenkuan's entry into Beijing is not a good thing, it seems to be promoted, but if he makes a mistake, he will actually die in lieu of death.
The sweat on Yan Tian's forehead fell, but she didn't dare to hesitate, so she could only kowtow to the ground and say stubbornly: "Yan Tian doesn't dare to bully the king." It's just that the suspect has not been tried and the file has not been seen, so Yan Tian does not dare to make an assertion. ”
"What hard lips and teeth!" The Queen Mother sneered, "Good! The mourning family will allow you to go back and look at the file of this case, try the suspect, and help your father sort out the ins and outs of this case. I want to see if the 'Huayan Judgment' in the case of Qian Erlu is really capable! ”
The Queen Mother actually knows her folk nickname?! Yan Tian was shocked in his heart, but before he could answer, the one on the phoenix seat had already served tea to the guests. The grandmother who had just been invited to meet Yan Tian immediately came over to retreat.
Yan Tian didn't dare to say more, so he kowtowed in a proper manner, bowed and retreated.
"Why are you angry? I'm angry again. The eldest princess of Xiangning walked out at some point, sat down beside the Queen Mother, stretched out her hand to personally accept the ginseng tea presented by Mama Rui, and brought it to her mother with a smile.
The queen mother's anger was soothed in this way, and I don't know whether she was moved by Xiangning's "mother" who had not been called for a long time, or infected by her daughter's flower-like smile.
She didn't go to pick up the ginseng tea, but reached out and hugged her daughter: "The last time Yan Yan called my mother was ...... before she got married" The words stopped abruptly, and the Queen Mother sighed heavily for a long time.
Xiangning didn't seem to listen to it, put down the teacup and continued to smile: "I can also be a grandmother in my thirties, why does the queen mother still call people nicknames?" ”
"How old is that, that's my child!" The Queen Mother's face finally showed a little smile. Seeing this, Rui Mama relieved her heart and waved her hand to retreat from the hall, so that the two of them could say something considerate.
"I'm not angry with this little girl, I can live more and more when I live a handful of years, and I can't get along with a fifteen or sixteen-year-old yellow-haired girl?
"I'm angry that everyone in this world is under the banner of secretly confusing the holy will to share the king's worries, but everyone is changing their ways to distort the holy will to add to the king's worries!
"The matter of the Fang family, anyone with a discerning eye knows what is going on, how could I ever say that I want to bend the law and follow my own interests? As a result, everyone was in danger, and Bao Yingbai was even more cowering, as if he didn't dare to judge because of me!
"Concubine Li, you have also seen it in the past few days, and she has come to the morning and dusk with a bitter face every day. Who is she showing her side face? It's not for the old woman of the mourning family! ”
The Queen Mother became angry again as she spoke, and Xiang Ning was busy stroking her chest for her.
"Well, I know what is in her heart. It's just to complain about her sister, and because the murderer is my nephew, that's why she made that look. I don't bother with her. There are many people in this world who misunderstand my wife and son, and there are not many of her.
"It's just that in this matter, except for seeing this girl today, I haven't interfered from beginning to end. The Fang family's grandson is a great favor to me, and the old Pingguo husband and wife of the previous generation really treated me as a daughter. I really want to keep the only bloodline of the Pingguo Mansion.
"But I know more about the law of the country! I just want them to give me a result as soon as possible! Even if you really want to ...... that kid," the Queen Mother suddenly couldn't speak, and tears filled her eyes faintly, "...... Then, hurry up, don't drag him and let him suffer. Those who don't know life and death are the most tormenting, can't sleep at night, and punish their hearts day by day, making life worse than death......"
The Queen Mother finally shed tears, after all, she is a relative of her mother's family, and she is a child who has grown up since she was a child, and she can't bear to think about it. What's more, he also thought of the tragic death of Pingguo Gong Fang Yong.
Princess Xiangning couldn't help but sigh along.
"Back then, but I did wrong with the first emperor?" The Queen Mother wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, shook her head and sighed, "At that time, Fang Yong had no heirs for a long time, and I saw that the old Duchess of Pingguo was anxious, so I was also anxious, and then I thought about asking the first emperor...... But who knows, it's the ending now......"
"The queen mother must not blame herself, what does this have to do with the queen mother? You're so sad that you're taking all the bad things on yourself. So you are still the mother of all peoples, but if any people have something, you still have to be responsible? ”
Xiang Ning knew that her mother was drilling the horns of the bull, so she wanted to divert the topic, so she continued: "What does the queen mother think of that girl? ”
"That girl......" The Queen Mother turned her eyes to look at Xiangning, her eyes meaningful, "but she is calm and cautious." Other...... I can't see it yet. How? Are you trying to make a decision for Arne? ”
Sure enough, since the emperor got the letter, it is impossible for her mother to know nothing here.
Xiang Ning smiled: "I haven't skimmed the eight characters yet." Besides, although it looks fine now, who knows what the temperament is? And this time, I don't know if she can stand up? The queen mother is just a child messing around, don't take it seriously......"
"You kid!" The Queen Mother smiled and said with disgust, "How can Arne's matter not be a serious matter?" But it's good to take a second look. You're right, this girl has just entered Beijing, and she doesn't know anything about her temperament. Judging from what it just now, it can be regarded as a decent response at best.
"There are so many ladies in Beijing, and I don't know how many famous daughters in Daqi are. Naturally, Arne's affairs should be taken a closer look. What's more, I heard that this girl was originally a spicy person in Luozhou, and her speech was very unforgiving. It's not good. Although the appearance of the daughter's family is important, the first thing is to have a good temperament. ”
Hearing her mother say this, Xiang Ning couldn't help laughing: "But I really want to find a powerful manager Ah Ern." ”
"How can you be such a mother?! Everyone else is afraid of meeting a powerful one, and their son will be angry. However, Arne's skin monkey is really enough to stand ......" Speaking of her grandson, the Queen Mother finally became happy, and her words just now were temporarily overshadowed.
……
At the same time, Yan Tian had already followed Mama out of the gate of Cining Palace. It is said that this palace is the ultimate rich place in the world, but she does not dare to look up at the surrounding scenery. Because this is also the ultimate place of slaughter in the world.
A team of palace people came in front of him, and it was a bright and flying beauty who was surrounded by the stars and the moon. led Mama to immediately lead Yan Tian to avoid under the palace wall on the side.
It's just that the beauty just stepped into the threshold of Cining Palace with one foot, and saw the big palace maid beside the Queen Mother Qinglu come out, and said with a smile that was neither humble nor arrogant: "Concubine Li is really hearted, these days the Queen Mother wakes up and comes to serve after taking a nap every day, which is really hard." But now that the eldest princess is here, she just ordered her to talk to the queen mother and the queen mother, and let the mothers and masters who came to serve come back. ”
Qinglu was trained by Mama Rui, and in recent years, she has become more and more embarrassed in front of the Queen Mother, and she vaguely seems to have the meaning of taking over Mama Rui's position as the female official in the future.
Concubine Li naturally didn't dare to offend, although she was stopped outside the door in front of a group of subordinates, her face was dull, but she still had to make twelve points of joy on her face.
"Since the eldest princess is inside, the concubines won't go in to disturb the peace of the queen mother."
Qinglu smiled and nodded: "Concubine Li's hard work in the past few days has been remembered." The Queen Mother is loving, and she just told us that although spring has begun on this day, it is still cold. All the mothers and masters are expensive, and now they should take more care of this season, and they must not come out easily and suffer from the wind and cold. Is it still warm in the mother's Chunhui Palace? ”
The share of coals of the masters everywhere in the palace is naturally sufficient, how can a favored concubine like Concubine Li, who has a princess, not be warm in her palace? Qinglu's words were clearly ordering Concubine Li, asking her to take it honestly in her palace, and don't come out and wander around if you have nothing to do.
Concubine Li is not a stupid person, and she understands this extraneous voice after a little thought. She couldn't help but grit her teeth secretly, the queen ran every day in Cining, how could she not worry about her "suffering from the wind and cold again"? But he didn't dare to show half a point on his face, so he could only accompany the smiling face to flatter a few words of the Queen Mother's kindness in front of Qinglu, and said goodbye to Qinglu with a smile.
Although Yan Tian, who was hidden behind the leading grandmother, didn't know about the lawsuits in this palace, he also understood the wit in the palace maid's words, and couldn't help but secretly want to laugh in his heart.
At this moment, a sharp voice suddenly came from the top of his head, like a thin needle poking straight into Yan Tian's ears and eyes: "Yo! What a handsome little face! Whose girl is this? ”
