Who Cares

After returning to Weiyang Palace, Emperor Sheng Yuan took out two pieces of paper from his arms and spread them out on the table. Because the folding time is too long, the imprints are difficult to remove, which makes the Raksha evil ghost and the smiling Bodhisattva a little distorted. He pressed the palm of his hand and stroked it again, but he couldn't return to his original state in the end, and his expression couldn't help but feel gloomy.

Bai Fu walked over with the tray and placed tea cups, teapots and other objects within His Majesty’s reach according to the usual practice, but listened to him in a deep voice, "Put it farther, so that the tea does not overflow the rim of the cup and wet the paper."

Bai Fu moved the tray away while accusing him of the crime. He found four pieces of paperweights to flatten the two paintings separately. He made a few compliments, but he was afraid that the flattery would hit the horse's leg, so he retreated angrily. After pressing for a while, after the paperweight was removed, the imprints were still there, and the Wencui Building prepared for the guests were inferior rice paper, which was thin and yellow, and would not last long. Emperor Sheng Yuan looked around, and finally took the paper and walked towards Ganquan Palace.

In the Ganquan Palace, Ye Zhen stepped back and left and was having a close conversation with his mother Liu. When it comes to Zhao Luli's flogging of Zhao Wangshu, Liu was so angry that he said that the other party was unlucky and the poisonous eater.

Ye Zhen did not respond, only frowned and listened. Back then, she was willing to leave behind a pair of children and an infatuated and unrepentant husband to pursue monstrous wealth. It can be seen that she was cruel and unfeeling, and naturally she would no longer have nostalgia for the people in the Hou Mansion. If it hadn't been for Zhao Luli's usefulness, she would have cut her righteously with the other party, no matter how she would hang him. It was heard that Zhao Luli punished a pair of children under Guan Suyi's sway, and handed over all the power of the family. I couldn't help but be fortunate that he was a good one. Even Zhao Luli can be controlled by her quickly.

It's hard to say why, even if she has never met, she has great hatred and jealousy for Guan Suyi, wishing to knock her out of the dust, watching her in embarrassment, life is better than death.

Ye Zhen hated Zhao Luli's soft ears, cowardly and useless, but he would not let him be someone else's help. After thinking about it, she was about to instruct her mother to let Ye Fan into the Hou Mansion, but after listening to the screen, a deep voice came, "What are you talking about?"

The mother and daughter suddenly became souls out of the sky, and while running out to meet the driver, they repeatedly recalled what they had just said, whether they had violated the taboo. The palace people outside the hall were all crawling on the ground, shivering, and seeing your majesty coming here on purpose, no one dared to remind them.

Fortunately, Ye Zhen disliked Liu's vulgar words. When she complained, she usually listened in silently. The Liu family hated Guan Suyi very much, and after a short hour, he just talked about her various evil deeds without exposing her daughter and the Ye family's secrets.

His Majesty heard the words of Guan Clan completely harmless, but he put eye drops on the ground without a trace. In the future, in your Majesty's heart, Mrs. Zhenbeihou will be a selfish and vicious, abusive image of her stepson and stepdaughter. Your Majesty is extremely stubborn. If you hate someone preconceivedly, others will not change anything, and vice versa.

Love is added to the knees and evil will fall into the abyss. This temper is very easy to please, but it is also very easy to lose control. When he spoils you, he will be obedient and responsive. If he is tired of you, he can only ask for blessings.

Ye Zhen repeatedly recalled the conversation with his mother, and made sure that there was no disqualification, and he was still slapped upright, and then he was relieved. Liu's ability to train her daughter to become Empress Jieyu naturally turned her mind very quickly. When she knelt down for peace, her pale face had returned to normal.

Ye Zhen said to Liu earlier that even if he left Zhenbeihoufu, he could not assume a posture of turning his face and denying others. On the contrary, he had to inadvertently express the pain and dissatisfaction in his heart to win your Majesty’s Pity; to let him understand that she is a weak woman who values ​​love and righteousness and is forced by life, and needs a strong and powerful shelter.

Because of this, even if Ye Zhen doesn't have much affection for a pair of children and ex-husband, he always shows the appearance of "not forgetting". But there must be a perfect transition between "not forgetting" and "have to forget", otherwise it will inevitably be discouraged by your Majesty over time, and you will eventually become self-defeating.

Therefore, the Liu family did not shy away from mentioning his grandson and granddaughter in front of Emperor Sheng Yuan. After the salute, he wiped his tears and said, "Your Majesty does not know that the Guan family is not like in the legend. As soon as he goes, he beats the Lord Hou and beats him to comfort. Now he is locked up at home, not even letting out the door. And my poor granddaughter, who should have been socializing and socializing, so that parents and generations can look at each other, so that marriage will not be difficult in the future, and Palace Lord Hou The mother should take the initiative to hold tea parties and flower parties for her to open up contacts, but the Guan family did the opposite. He repeatedly rejected many posts for Xi'er, and strictly prohibited her from interacting with the noble daughters of the family, and only allowed her to follow and follow. Waiting for you. Your Majesty, how can there be such a mother in the world? She wanted to give up Wangshu, and missed Xi'er for life!"

Speaking of this, Liu's sobbed hard to say.

Ye Zhen "did not" cry in front of His Majesty, but his eyes were filled with tears that would never fall, which was more pitiful than crying bitterly.

Emperor Sheng Yuan spread the two paintings flat on the table and gently rubbed and flattened them with his palms, his resolute and handsome face did not show joy or anger. When Liu had finished speaking, he spoke lightly, "Someone reported a few days ago that the Wang Shizi had his head broken and almost killed him. I was so busy with government affairs that I didn't check it carefully, so I only went to the hospital for treatment."

Liu gradually stopped crying and looked at her daughter nervously. Ye Zhen's heart was not good, but he didn't dare to take the conversation, and only reluctantly tugged at the corner of his mouth.

Emperor Sheng Yuan did not even lift his eyelids, still staring at the paintings on the table, and continued, "Guess who the murderer is?"

Liu shook his hands and wiped tears, not even pretending to be choked, even holding his breath. Ye Zhen didn't dare not answer, and trembled, "Could it be Wang Shu?"

Emperor Shengyuan responded lukewarmly, "It's him. Even if King Cheng and King Jin were imprisoned for treason, their titles are still there, their identities are still there, and their blood is still there. They are my brothers and the royal family. One member. Those who murder the royal family should be killed, and furthermore, you can even afflict the nine families. This is the law that you Han people have enacted since ancient times."

"Wang Shu him, he made such a big mistake!" Ye Zhen leaned down, resting his forehead against the back of his hand and wailed, "I beg the emperor for forgiveness, and beg the emperor for mercy. If the emperor wants to punish him, he should punish his concubine. If he had a mother by his side to teach him since he was a child..."

The Emperor Shengyuan felt guilty when she heard her mention the past, and he waved to interrupt, "Get up, Zhenbeihou beat him up, and this matter was revealed. I heard that Zhao Wangshu's temperament is very stubborn, and it is inevitable that he should not be kept at home for training. There will be another disaster in the future. I can tolerate him once, but not a second time. As for the Guan family forbidding Zhao Chunxi to communicate with the noble daughters of the family..." He thought for a moment, and suddenly smiled, "Does she have a copy of "The Family Records" in her hand? "

Before the destruction of the Four Kingdoms and the unification of the Central Plains, this place was once the world of aristocratic families. The Emperor Shengyuan is used to it alone, and he doesn't like someone being pressed on his head. As the saying goes, "Knowing oneself and the enemy will never end in a hundred battles." He wants to eradicate the aristocratic family, and he needs to understand what an aristocratic family is.

Those scholarly families far away from the imperial power, he intends to draw in and use them, and the intertwined and powerful families of officials and officials will one day become his stepping stones and kill ghosts. However, Zhao Luli couldn’t understand his thoughts. He always took pride in his bloodline of the Zhao family in Tianshui. Emperor Shengyuan wrote it down after he talked a lot. After he became king, someone presented a book of Family Records, and he turned to the Family Family named Zhao. That page inevitably smiles, but it has been estranged because of the relationship and has not been pierced.

Seeing his majesty smiled weirdly, he wanted to ask the reason, but he didn't dare to speak. After hesitating, he listened to him and said, "Bring the Family Records."

This was obviously addressed to Bai Fu. After the other party took the order, he quickly assigned a fast-moving Xiaohuangmen to Weiyang Palace to pick up the book. In a few moments, "Shijialu" was opened on the table, and Zhao's escaped slave. Black and white, clearly. Ye Zhen flushed his cheeks and was speechless for a while, but Liu cried out in shock, "The Zhao family cheated on marriage! Back then, if he hadn't said that he was a descendant of the Zhao family in Tianshui..." Realizing that the following words were inappropriate, she shut up immediately. mouth.

How could Emperor Shengyuan not know the virtues of the Ye family? Merchants were chasing profits. If Zhao Luli had nothing to do with others, the Ye family would never marry their flowery daughter to a young general who was still working hard in the army at that time. However, these past events have nothing to do with him, so you don't need to pay attention to it, just for Guan Suyi to clarify the misunderstanding.

He didn't like Liu's words that derogated her very much, the noble and the clean were defiled by the despicable, and his sentiment was always annoying.

The mother and daughter of the Ye family were awkward and embarrassed, but he didn't even bother to lift his eyelids. He slowly flipped through "The Family Records" and sighed, "It turns out that the author of this book was also her great, great, great, great-grandfather. No wonder..." As if thinking of something, he laughed lowly, and his mood instantly became clear.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have failed to speak..." Liu's scalp was numb by the moody Emperor Sheng Yuan. He knelt down and was about to plead guilty, but was interrupted by him. The Guan family is dignified and Shurui, cautious and cautious, and he is not overly courteous. He has won the inheritance of the emperor's master. It is also an example of the clan wife, and she is also the first-class fateful wife who I personally canonized. If you slander her, you slander the emperor and slander me. "

The charges were deducted one by one, and the Liu family was unable to bear it. He was withered on the ground, begging for mercy before being sent back by his majesty, and he was pardoned before he left.

Ye Zhen also followed to plead guilty, but his heart was extremely upset. Isn't the emperor's defense of the Guan family just for the sake of the Guan family's father and son? If Guan's family doesn't fall, it would be really difficult to step Guan Suyi into the mud. She thought about it, and finally pressed her deeper and deeper jealousy.

Emperor Sheng Yuan rectified the name of the woman who was "good as a teacher", exasperated, and was in a good mood. Then he pointed to the two paintings that had been flattened by him and asked, "You have a good embroidery skills, can you use them? Embroidered into a table screen?"

Ye Zhen hurriedly agreed, "Naturally. Where did your Majesty get these two paintings? A few strokes are extremely vivid, which shows that the painters have profound skills."

Emperor Sheng Yuan laughed without answering, and handed the drawing to Ye Zhen, ordering her not to crumple it up, and take it eight days later, and then left, walked to the entrance of the hall, thinking of something, and said, "After all, Liu is a merchant. Her background is vulgar. If you have nothing to do, you can read more books, and the major general will summon her to gossiping in the palace, so as not to disturb the atmosphere."

Who was the person who asked me to call my mother into the palace the day before yesterday? Your Majesty, how about your words? But Ye Zhen didn't dare to say these interrogations, so he had to pull the corners of his mouth.
