Yipin Tianxia

Xu Ziqian left, but the emperor was still busy in the imperial study, showing no signs of happiness or anger.

Not long after, the empress came with a plate of pastries in person, "No matter how busy the emperor is, he must take care of himself. Just now I heard from the person in the imperial dining room that you have eaten half a bowl of rice at noon. Are you uncomfortable? If you don't like They are tired of cooking, what do you want to eat, send someone to tell the concubine, and the concubine will try to get it."

The emperor smiled, "The empress is bothering you. It's just that the breakfast was a bit greasy, and I lost my appetite at noon. Your pastry was delivered just right."

He picked up a piece and put it in his mouth to save face, "Well, yes, it was sent by Prince Ping's mansion?"

The Empress smiled, "Your Majesty, don't think of Princess Jiashan every time you see something new, okay? This is a kind of pastry from my concubine's hometown. I just remembered it by chance. I heard that the Emperor has no appetite, so I specially made it for you to try." of."

The emperor smiled playfully, "Then she entered the palace today, and she didn't bring you any delicious food?"

The empress covered her mouth and smiled, "Now that she is pregnant, her family is very expensive, but she is reluctant to let her cook. She came here specially to deal with the family, and she was worried that it would be too late for you to scold her, so how could she dare to bring her with you?" Is it disgusting to eat? Could it be that who would let her county horse go so easily because of those few foods?"

The emperor raised his eyebrows, "What does this have to do with the county horse?"

Queen Wang told about Ouyang Kang's visit to the Guan family in a few words, she shook her head and laughed, "That kid from the Guan family is making such a fuss now, it's all because of what the county horse said. Although it was unintentional, it is really annoying. Princess Come to me, I dare not ask for your forgiveness. I just want to pity her, a pregnant woman, and at least don’t punish her county horse so that she can’t see anyone.”

Gao Xian couldn't help laughing, most of his displeasure disappeared.

If Nianfu said something else, he might still have a shadow in his heart, but Nianfu admitted his mistakes so honestly, flattered and pretended to be pitiful, and treated him as a relative of his own, which made him feel that this matter was nothing Big deal.

Ouyang Kang made friends with Guan Yaozu.That is something that the whole capital knows.If something happened to the Guan family, he would hide away, making people feel heartless.And Ouyang Kang was right, if Pei Yaoqing was a daughter, he would indeed be able to hold her high, but he is a man.That……

Gao Xian hesitated.

He knows Pei Xingyan too well, he is really a good and honest person.Among other things, his whole family has been taken to prison this time, how many people are there in total?There are only 13 servants, and the family property is so thin that it is almost negligible.This is in Beijing.It is estimated that it can be ranked poorly.

But such a good person can be a subordinate to conquer the world.Really not fit for office.

Gao Xian put him in the Guozijian because he was afraid that he would make a mistake. He thought he could keep his life safe, but he jumped into the fire pit himself.

For the sake of the emperor's dignity, he couldn't keep him.But thinking about the brotherhood back then, he couldn't bear it.Yes, he was in a rage.The sentence for the Pei family was also to be executed, not executed.

perhaps.This time Ouyang Kang helped him solve a big problem in a wrong way?

"Queen, since the princess asked you to come here, how do you think I should punish them?"

Hearing the emperor's tone, Queen Wang felt relieved, "The concubine is just a woman, how can she understand such important military affairs? However, the concubine remembered an old event from the previous dynasty because of this. I remember that in the previous dynasty, Emperor Wu had a favorite concubine, the Zhao family, known as I was born with fists and couldn't stretch them. But when I came to Emperor Wu, I stretched my hands, and took out a jade hook, which was called a good omen, and it was listed in the biographies of concubines. The concubines believed in this before, But when I gave birth to the child, I couldn't help but wonder, if the jade hairpin was brought from the womb, how did it get into the stomach in the past? Even if it entered the stomach early in the morning, the child was still in the stomach from a little blood. When it grows up, the jade hook is being held by something, don't you feel panicked?"

Gao Xian laughed when he heard this, and Queen Wang continued, "Later, the concubine went to flip through the book and saw a paragraph in the book, saying that Mrs. Zhao's appearance is very beautiful. The concubine thought again, if that Mrs. Zhao's appearance is mediocre, she would even be as beautiful as no one." Yanmo's mother is just like her, so what will happen to her situation? Maybe the courtiers and concubines are wrong, things in this world cannot be deduced with common sense. But what is right and wrong in this is just a matter of belief or not."

Gao Xian nodded slightly, and already had an idea in his mind, "Since the identity of the son of the Pei family is in doubt, the queen should ask a few internal officials to investigate."

Queen Wang understood, "If it's really a woman, then the courtiers and concubines should take care of the internal affairs, so the emperor won't bother about it."

This is taking responsibility.If she finds out that there is a mistake, the infamy in the future will be hers, and it has nothing to do with the emperor.

Gao Xian nodded, and Queen Wang took leave.

After sending people out, I felt joy and sigh in my heart.

Of course, the joy is to live up to the entrustment of Princess Jiashan, and hope to keep people under the knife.It's a pity that in this way, the Guan family's reputation is ruined, and even Guan Yaozu's future is gone.

"Absolutely not!"

In the prison, Pei Xingyan had not been severely tortured, but he hadn't washed for many days, and he was already in a mess.But those eyes were as clear and clear as usual, looking at the person in front of him, he said solemnly, "How could our Pei family have such a scumbag? I advise you not to be whimsical, so as not to be a laughingstock for the rest of your life. After a few years, regret it Too late!"

Guan Yaozu knelt upright in front of the teacher, with a sad face and a determined expression, "Yes, I am a scumbag, I live in ignorance, and I am greedy for life and afraid of death. Sir, didn't you know it before you accepted me as a disciple? If it wasn't for my father, please , you sure won't accept me?"

Pei Xingyan looked at him, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.

So Guan Yaozu continued, "I am not a good person, so if your whole family dies, as a disciple, I will have to collect your corpses, and I will have to go to your graves on the Qingming and Chongyang Days in the future. , I’m lazy, bad, and unmotivated, so I probably can’t remember these troublesome things. If I don’t do well then, I’m sure I’ll be scolded by the world. So I’m not trying to repay your kindness by getting Yaoqing out. I just want to save myself some trouble."

He sniffed, forced himself to hold his head up and said, "Sir, you are benevolent and righteous. Why don't you just complete the apprentice and leave someone for the apprentice to clean up the mess... How many years later, who knows what will happen after a few years? Be happy when you are happy, anyway, it is not a day or two for the apprentice to be absurd, even if it is even more absurd, so what?"

Pei Xingyan's throat rolled, and the real emotion finally appeared in his eyes.

"Yaozu, you...you really don't have to be like this!"

"Senior Brother, Senior Brother, I don't want you to be like this..." Pei Yaoqing crawled forward with tears all over her face. "My family is a criminal, so you don't need to collect our corpse, let alone go to the grave... You are just engaged, and you will marry your sister-in-law next spring..."

"Go away, you don't have a place to talk here!" Guan Yaozu roared, his eyes were red.Instead, he kowtowed three times to Pei Xingyan.Then he wiped his face hard and stood up, "Anyway, I've already let you go, you can choose what you want to do. If I'm going to die, I can't stop it. Whoever makes me meet your family in this life, I will only be unlucky." I can admit it!"

He strode away.Pei Xingyan suddenly stood behind him, choked up and said. "You're a good boy, I've known for a long time... It's not your father who forced you to take you as a disciple."

Guan Yaozu's footsteps stopped, his body trembled, he wanted to turn back, but he left without turning back.

Pei Xingyan raised his hand tremblingly to caress his son's head, and moved his lips.He seemed to want to say something, but he didn't say it yet.The people sent by the palace came.

With a dress, a pair of jewelry, and a needle.

The leading eunuch coughed twice, "I heard that Mr. Pei was originally a daughter, and the queen bestowed him with clothes and jewelry. The ears and eyes should be pricked."

"No need."

Pei Xingyan suddenly reached out to caress his son's earlobe, "He was pierced when he was young."

Wasn't it because he was afraid that he would not be able to raise him well?Pei Yaoqing looked at her father with tears in her eyes, "Father, my son is with you...I'm not afraid of death..."

Pei Xingyan smiled with tears in his eyes, "Silly boy, if in the past... you naturally, naturally wanted to be with dad, but now... go with your senior brother."

"Father!" Pei Yaoqing's whole body was shaken, and tears welled up like a fountain.

"Go!" Pei Xingyan pushed his son hard, without looking at him again.

The farce in the Zhenyuan Hou Mansion ended in a dramatic way.

The queen issued a decree from the central palace, severely condemning Mrs. Zhenyuan Hou for her ineffective teaching of her son, spoiling and indulging her son, which led to disaster.Not to mention taking away Mrs. Guan's imperial order, she also gave Pei Yaoqing to Guan Yaozu as his wife.

And it is stated that Guan Yaozu is not allowed to take concubines unless he has no children in his forties.

Tianwei has never been easy to challenge.

If the Guan family wanted to win someone from the emperor, they had to pay the same price.

Guan Tianxiao, the Marquis of Zhenyuan, immediately made a statement, claiming that he was lax in his family management and incompetent in discipline, so he voluntarily handed over his military power and returned home to take care of him.

But at this moment, Guan Yaozu still has one more thing to do.

Changling, Shen's family.

Ouyang Kang sat in the hall, and he knelt outside the door.

It is backed by mountains, and it is colder than the capital city.It snowed heavily yesterday, it was knee deep.And Guan Yaozu was kneeling in this icy and snowy place, he didn't even wear a thick padded jacket, but only a thin unlined garment, when the wind blows, his flesh can even be exposed.And on his back was a big stick.

Shen Bolun didn't know what attitude to use to greet this son-in-law who was pleading guilty. Ouyang Kang didn't say much, but silently put down the engagement gift from the Shen family.

"...The lady doesn't know people clearly, and she missed her relatives. She originally wanted to come to the door to make amends, but now she is pregnant, so I have to come here. If you have any requirements, please ask your cousin to express it. No matter how difficult it is, we Do your best too.”

"Uncle is very polite, aunt did not miss me!" Shen Min said loudly with tears in his eyes, came out of the inner room, and knelt down in front of Shen Bolun, "Father, my daughter has already been promised to the Guan family, how can I go back on it so easily? The Pei family... the elder sister is the official wife of the imperial concubine, and the daughter is willing to be a concubine."

"But I don't want you!" Guan Yaozu, who was kneeling outside the door, heard it and roared sharply, "When I am forty, how old are you? Of course, concubines need to be young and beautiful, who wants such an old concubine? I beg you, go get married and don't harm me, okay?"

Shen Min couldn't bear it anymore and burst into tears.

She had only had a dream for half a year, and just like that, it was shattered in a field of ice and snow.
