MTL - Self-cultivation of Male Supporting Role-Chapter 346 family meet
"I know that my request is rude, but I can ask Your Majesty to grant the minister's request for the sake of serving His Majesty faithfully. The wife of the family is pregnant and the fetal image is unstable. Since January, I have been eating medicine as food. Even so, my spirit is not as good as it is day by day.
Seeing that, this fetus is afraid that it will not be able to keep it.
Your Majesty, I am now lonely, my parents, wives and children have abandoned me, and I have finally developed a friendship with Madam that shares weal and woe.
Saying that, he kowtowed down, and when he got up again, there were already tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty, please let your father-in-law and mother-in-law go and have a look..."
Shi Yan felt that this kid was really aware of the current affairs, that Hou Hei did not learn in vain, and that kneeling before the emperor who could be called an enemy was not at all a psychological obstacle. Look at what they said, one minister and one mother, you can't pick out the fault of others.
At that time, in order to look good, people really hung up the false position of a five-rank member and a foreigner, and there was nothing wrong with claiming to be a minister.
No matter what happened to the precious concubine, the emperor couldn't deny it. Now the whole capital knows everything that should be known. The precious concubine's family had committed a crime, and the precious concubine herself was locked in prison to die. Can you say that? cannot.
The court wants face, as a new emperor, you can't smear the old emperor's face, and the royal family also wants to face.
When people don't eat or drink, their face is just a fart, and they don't make any noise when they are put out. In order to eat in one bite, they don't do much to fight for food with the pigs in the pigsty.
But sometimes, under the circumstances of not worrying about eating and drinking, and pursuing a higher level of spiritual civilization, the face is bigger than the sky, and the life of an individual, even the life of a family, or the life of the entire nine clans, can be sacrificed.
Therefore, in terms of etiquette, the incumbent emperor has to cover the face of the previous emperor. Everyone in the prison knows who he is, but he can say it out, that precious concubine, or in other words, it is time to call others Baotai Concubine, she is still being raised in the palace.
The emperor did not respond, but instead asked another question: "Where is your mother-in-law?"
Oh, it's good not to mention it. When I mentioned it, Xie Chaozhou said more. The tears in his eyes couldn't help anymore, and they fell down in a rustling manner. Unbeknownst to him, he thought he really had a deep relationship with the precious concubine. As for friendship, I can't see the other party suffer a little bit, and I can't wait to replace it.
"Your Majesty, Long En, benevolent and generous to Wei Chen and several elder brothers, the ministers have had many inconveniences in the past, and this matter should not be brought up, but now, Your Majesty has become a great treasure, the world has returned to the heart, it is prosperous, and the people are respected, and there are a few more left. It's a little inconvenient for the old lady to be in the palace."
Shi Yan blinked, there was nothing wrong with what he said. Normally speaking, the old emperor would inherit the throne from his own son, some of the old emperor's concubines were used for burial, and those with sons and daughters were mostly in the palace circle. A place is raised, and the rest is sent directly to the royal temple.
Anyway, the emperor and his concubine are all such a routine.
But now, Zong Chixian, who succeeded the throne, is not the son of the old emperor. In terms of seniority, he and the old emperor are of the same generation. Therefore, the women left by the old emperor are, to a certain extent, the current emperor. sister-in-law.
This widowed sister-in-law lives with her brother-in-law, which is hard to say or not.
Does no one know this? Of course a lot of people know that, but why not point it out? The reason is also obvious.
Naturally, they were left as hostages. These sons left by the old emperor were neither too light nor too heavy. They could not be solved directly with a click, and they could not be held too high, lest some people use the banner of the late emperor to support them. some trouble.
So the mothers and concubines of these princes stayed in the palace, giving them enough dignity, the scenery on their faces, and creating a place for them to live comfortably, to be hostages with peace of mind, and to be seen by the world. .
The emperor didn't know what his mood was, he looked at the fifth prince on the ground, and unexpectedly went to the house with the other party: "Chaozhou, the house you live in is only two rooms, and your daughter-in-law is pregnant again. Children, I'm afraid that there will be a few more people to serve. I'm afraid that your yard can't be opened.
Today, let's not talk about the affairs of the court, and let's not talk about the royal courtship. Let's talk about a very real question. Where do you ask Concubine Bao to live with you?
In the late emperor and his predecessor, there were dozens of palace maids and eunuchs who served them in and out. The clothing, food, housing, and transportation were extremely exquisite. When he had nothing to do, he had to open up two acres of vegetable gardens to pass the time. Last time you saw me too, your mother The clothes the concubine wore were made of cotton.
But the thread on the hem is made of fine gold thread, and the cuffs and hem are carefully embroidered with various dark patterns by the finest embroiderers in the palace. Although the food is simple, the plate of stir-fried cabbage is made of fine-grained cabbage. For the best cabbage, choose the tenderest core, and one acre of land can produce such a plate.
Not to mention others.
You bring her home, you can't really let your mother-in-law go to the field to grow vegetables for your family, right?
If you can't, then taking her home is not a blessing, but a great unfilial piety, so why bother? If you are really worried, isn't it beautiful to go to the palace every month to see her old man?
Think about it carefully and then answer me, do you really have money, house and food and someone to support your mother? "
Xie Chaozhou said in his heart, even if I have it, I can't say it out loud at this time. Isn't this Qing waiting for someone to catch the pigtail and let me develop in the direction of bankruptcy? After a few months of hard work in the capital, isn't it a waste of time?
So he looked at the emperor very aggrieved, and shook his head with a bit of confusion in his eyes: "Go back to your majesty, my minister, there is no minister."
As he spoke, he walked a few steps on his knees, went forward and hugged the emperor's thigh, crying like a child who hasn't been weaned. Shi Yan, who was watching onlookers, had goosebumps all over his body. What should I say?
If it was him, he really couldn't do it. On the other hand, it is also a talent.
"Your Majesty, how can this be good? I have not been very close to my mother since I was a child, and I am very envious when I see other brothers kissing their mother when I was young.
Now in this situation, I thought that I just had the opportunity to bring my mother home, so I could get closer to her and have no regrets. "
After speaking, he looked at the emperor embarrassedly, and when he looked at it, Shi Yan almost didn't choke, and his eyes were too hot. His eyes were snotted, and they all smeared his face. In short, Shi Yan The melon seeds in my hand suddenly couldn't be eaten, and I even felt a little nauseated.
I just listened to the man: "Secondly, it's also the minister's private harassment towards His Majesty. Recently, there have been many rumors in the market, which are not very pleasant. The minister wants to help His Majesty's worries and solve problems, so that His Majesty can be happy and healthy."
He really looks like a good servant.
The emperor recently saw many scenes of ministers weeping and touching the ground in the previous dynasty, shedding tears, and threatening to hit the pillars. Xie Chaozhou was a trifle, and he was very stable. He also made a deeply moved look and patted Xie Chaozhou. On the shoulders, he personally helped the person up, and also instructed the **** beside him: "Go, take your fifth master to the apse to wash up, what does it look like to go out like this, let's disgrace our old Xie family's son!"
The fifth prince only held the emperor's legs and did not move, and looked at the emperor eagerly, as if he was very dependent and completely trusted in all the emperor's decisions.
The emperor patted him on the head: "You child, don't you believe in your sixth uncle? After you wash up, let's talk about your father-in-law and mother-in-law."
Xie Chaozhou then showed a shy smile and followed the eunuch.
When the father and son were left in the room, Shi Yan pushed the handful of melon seeds in his hand to the emperor, and the emperor couldn't be moved: "My son is filial, and I have to save a bite for my father if I have something delicious. good son."
Shi Yan glanced at the emperor, but did not intend to say that he kept it because he couldn't eat it after watching Xie Chaozhou's performance of singing, reading, and fighting.
The emperor happily asked Shi Yan, "Erzai, what are you doing looking at that little bastard?"
Shi Yan rolled his eyes, isn't it obvious that there are lice on the bald head?
"Now in the entire capital, who does not know that behind the old emperor's longevity and decades of youth, he is inseparable from the family behind the precious concubine?
Everyone wants to pry something out of those people's mouths! In recent days, people who enter and leave the prison of the Ministry of Justice can make the servants of the Ministry of Justice feel bald. They are not simple characters, and they have unspeakable backers behind them. Even those who have long resigned from office and retired. Can't stop moving.
I went to the prison to take a look the other day, Baoyin and the others suffered a lot, not that they had been punished too much, but one after another, eager to get something from them. During the interrogation, there was not even time to sleep, and everyone was thin and out of phase.
This one month of prison time in the Ministry of Punishment can be compared with me all the way from the extreme north to the capital to suffer more crimes.
Coupled with the fact that everyone in their clan is a master, who is not envious? If it weren't for the fact that the military power is now in our hands, I am afraid that some people would have taken risks long ago just for the sake of the tens of thousands of masters!
It's strange that the kid doesn't want to take advantage of this opportunity with Baoyin to climb up. But in the end, there is progress, and it will not come until today. "
Shi Yan picked up the top one from the stack of dark blue books on the case, glanced at it, dipped the pen with ink, and without thinking, wrote the word "read" on it, and set it aside. , opened another book, and was doing flow work. He could annotate almost without looking carefully. When he looked at the handwriting, it was exactly the same as the emperor's.
Without raising his head, he instructed the people around him, "Go and bring the Zong family and his wife here!" Without delaying the movements of his hands at all, his kung fu was reduced by half in a short time, and he looked very fast.
For Shi Yan's act of replacing the emperor's criticism of Zhezi, the surrounding eunuchs and palace maids all seemed to see nothing, watching their noses and hearts. All are the emperor's confidants, and will not reveal a word of wind to the outside world.
Shi Yan was already familiar with this matter, and it was all irrelevant, please An Zhezi. The writing was also varied and numb. What did you miss the emperor missed, couldn't sleep, couldn't eat, saw a flower, and went to a place, Saying a word, I can think of how the emperor used to be. At night, I remember that the emperor would get up and go to the Buddhist hall to burn a stick of incense and ask God to bless the emperor's health.
The emperor was impatient with these things for a long time, and picked up another stack of dark red papers to read from the beginning, because it was a serious paper, and any one of them might be related to the lives of thousands of people, and he did not dare to be careless, so he read it. Seriously.
He was still unwilling to say: "Rory, I've never read a few children's books since I was a child. If I hadn't had a lot of spare time in recent years, I had read some books that were reasonable and reasonable, I'm afraid it would be fundamental. I can't understand what is written!
In the future, we must correct the problem of these gangsters talking around the corners! At least, those annoying Anzhezi can't continue to appear here! "
After Shi Yan dipped in ink, he continued to approve the memorial, his attitude was very loose, the speed was really fast, and his mouth was not idle: "Oh, if this thing does not change the current bureaucracy, it cannot be completely eradicated. .
The emperor is far away, and those officials from other places show their faces in front of you without saying anything every month. Within two months, can you still think of their number one?
Now that they have sent the book, if you don't see it with your own eyes, they will think you have any opinion on them! One by one was trembling, scared to death.
This is not as simple as asking An Zhezi. "
After Shi Yan finished correcting the three piles of the case, he threw the writing brush at will, and lay on the couch as if he was boneless. Someone next to him lightly and quickly gathered up the things on the table, and someone came in and reported, "Your Majesty, Prince Your Highness, the Zong family couple and Fifth Master Xie are outside asking to see you."
Seeing the embarrassed look on the little eunuch, Shi Yan waved his hand and said, "What do you want to say."
As soon as the little **** gritted his teeth, he wished he could bury his head in his chest, not daring to look at the two of them and said, "The person who was ordered to bring the husband and wife of the clan also brought Mrs. Ding.
Said, said yes, said that Mrs. Ding pressed her to death and did not want to be separated from her sister-in-law. The guards couldn't, so they had to bring them together. "
After speaking, he was frightened into a cold sweat, fell to his knees and did not dare to get up. In this palace and outside the palace, who else does not know that His Majesty and His Royal Highness are very cold to that lady?
But even so, the existence of that lady is still very special. Just because she is the biological mother of His Royal Highness, His Majesty has to give that person a bit of face. As if there was no such person.
So Ding Wan completely became a transparent person.
Shi Yan and the emperor looked at each other, and the emperor said, "If that's the case, let's announce it."
Surprisingly easy to talk, everyone in the hall couldn't help but feel alive, but they didn't dare to show the slightest on their faces.
Xie Chaozhou came in with Zong Chijian and his wife and Ding Wan. They had just met outside, but because of the wrong occasion, they didn't say anything.
Of course, speaking is limited to Zong Chijian and his wife unilaterally wanting to communicate more with their son-in-law.
But right now, the couple has long lost the mind to communicate with their son-in-law, asking the son-in-law to find a way to get them out of the pit of the palace.
The two of them had learned to behave well for a long time. As soon as they entered the door, they knelt down and kowtowed. They didn't dare to look around at all. After hearing the voice of someone above, there was a strange sense of familiarity in their hearts, and they all fell into a trance for a moment.
As a result, when they got up and glanced inadvertently, the couple were dumbfounded. Who is this person who is not their own younger brother Zong Chixian? !
The two looked at Shang Zong Zhixian's gaze, then looked at Shi Yan who was sitting beside him, and at Ding Wan, who was standing beside him with hatred in his eyes, only to think that Tian Linggai'er trembled.
This this! This face is so recognizable that even if it turns into ashes, the two of them will not admit it wrong!
My heart turned a thousand times, my face seemed happy but sad, and I couldn't speak with excitement. From the outsider's point of view, it was these two people who saw the face of the sky, and they were stunned.
The **** next to him scolded: "Zong's husband and wife must not face the holy face!"
A reprimand brought the two back to their status quo. The husband and wife exchanged glances quickly. Shi Yan didn't understand what the two exchanged.
So he said unintentionally to the emperor: "Father, it was these two people who used to deduct my food at Folding Sword Villa, ruining my reputation, and letting me live in a desolate courtyard to fend for themselves!"
The emperor cooperated and glanced coldly at the two of them with his eyes. Xie Chaozhou was very aware of current affairs and reduced his sense of existence, and stood with Ding as a dead person who would be angry. Thoroughly exposed the Zong family couple to the emperor's eyes.
Sure enough, Zong's husband and wife were so excited and sophistry, Madam Zong, who was in the front line, took a step forward, her expression mixed with excitement and fear, and she stepped forward in a very twisted step: "Your Majesty, listen to my explanation, there is a misunderstanding!
Our family always thought that Shi Yan was the child of my second brother Chi Xian. After Chi Xian left, he treated them in every possible way, but one day Mrs. Ding told us that A Yan was not a child of our clan at all. She had an affair with someone, how can we accept this?
We treated Shi Yan like that out of anger and didn't turn the corner. Please understand our elder brother and sister-in-law's love for our younger brother! "
As he spoke, he knelt on the ground and didn't cry, but looking at his face, anyone who didn't know the truth and listened to him felt that they were really wronged. Even if the emperor gave his brother a green hat, they would treat the emperor's children well. Raised, not only right, but also a bit of benevolence in it.
The emperor is wrong about this!
Shi Yan raised his eyebrows, Duan Shi was threatening his father with this matter, and he was able to react so quickly without revealing his father's identity.
He kept picking the two of them clean, and by the way, he gave them a good reputation for benevolence and righteousness. Anyway, they didn't say anything from head to toe, but they said everything, it was the fault of the Ding family and the emperor.
As long as his father recognizes Duan's statement today, in countless years to come, Duan's will be able to use this handle to pinch his father to the death.
Good idea, but unfortunately too naive.
If they were really afraid of being exposed by Duan's identity, they would destroy the entire family of Zhejian Villa from the first moment when Shi Yan returned to Beijing. It wouldn't be a difficult task, so why bother putting it on today?
Shi Yan snorted softly, kicked off the shoes on his feet and put them on the couch. He peeled off a sweet orange and stuffed it in his mouth. The fragrance filled his mouth. He found a comfortable position and leaned on his knees directly on the ground. Mrs. Duan said: "Auntie, why do you feel wronged like this now? In the past, you were a person who was not afraid of anything and everything!
The water that is controlled by a folding sword villa will not be exposed, so that my nephew and I have nowhere to go, and I have to grab food for five years with the dog. How about making such a show of weakness to make my nephew laugh at me? "
Duan Shi just didn't speak. Although she was kneeling, she claimed to hold the handles of Shi Yan and Zong Zhixian without a trace of fear. She glanced at the emperor on the couch with a half-smile, and finally settled on Ding Wan. Body: "Brother and sister, we are cousins who grew up together.
You know how I have treated you all these years. If it wasn't for that incident, we wouldn't have only angered him as a child, and we would have provided you with delicious food and drink. You know this, right? "
Anyway, as long as Zong Chixian still wants to continue to use the identity of the old Xie family as the emperor and abuse his son, he will swallow it alive, even if there is **** in it?
I don't believe that between the throne and his son, he would choose a son. No one would be so stupid. Duan believes this very much.
But if you want Shi Yan to say it, he will definitely tell Duan Shi that his father is someone who can't do enough, and he will choose to have everything!
But now I don't need Shi Yan to tell Duan Shi, because Ding Wan himself did not plan to cooperate with Duan's performance at all. After entering the house, Duan stared at Zong Chixian's face, and the madness in his eyes could not be ignored.
I don't know if she listened to Duan's words, she stood in place and sorted out her worn robes, and then she tidied her hair, and cleaned herself from top to bottom.
Very ladylike, she bowed to Zong Chixian, her eyes full of love.
"Erlang, after years of separation, I thought that I would never see you in this life, but I didn't realize that there is still today between us. I said back then that there is a fate between you and me. A lot of people want to intervene between you and me, but that's just a delusion!
You don't believe in fate, you don't accept fate. You see, no matter where you are or what your identity is, as long as A Yan is there, the position around you can only be mine, and no one can take it away.
You are always so soft-hearted. Back then, your father was incompetent in favoring your brother, and secretly gave your brother the wealth you earned, and you secretly indulged it for many years in the face of the family. Because I am pregnant with A Yan, you can't do anything to me. You see, you are just that kind of person.
Now, you can still be open to me based on the affection of the year, right? "
As soon as Ding Wan opened his mouth, Shi Yan asked the servants to retreat. To be honest, he and Zong Chi had a lot of blood, but it didn't matter. Ding Wan spoke for a long time, and the few people at the scene listened.
But when they heard it, they couldn't react on the surface. As for the various thoughts in their hearts, it was inconvenient to express them, but it didn't prevent them from holding their ears high.
Zong Chixian was obviously disgusted. For so many years, he felt disgusted every time he saw Ding Wan. Who would believe that since the two of them knew each other, he had had a relationship with each other once, that is, Overlord Ding Wan took the bow. The time with Shi Yan.
From then on, Zong Zhixian really felt uncomfortable just looking at it. So he played with the jade wrench on his finger without speaking, and left the person hanging there.
Ding Wan's eyes were helpless and desolate, and his eyes fell on Shi Yan, so Shi Yan cooperated and threw a small mirror over, and said happily: "Hey, you have been arranging your appearance for a long time, in fact, you don't know at all, you After speaking for a while, the dandruff is falling down like a piece of paper! It took me a long time to be completely blind!"
Shi Yan knew that Ding Wan loved face the most, and couldn't stand it, especially in front of people.
