Chapter 185 The Beloved Father
Xu Shiqiu's intuition was very accurate, the morning court on the second day was indeed not peaceful.

Emperor Ruikang didn't know if he had discussed it with King Duan and Master Xuanling in advance. The next morning, Xu Shiqiu didn't need to show up at all. things.

Hearing Emperor Ruikang take the initiative to mention this matter, Ye Jingxing who received the news and arranged many things overnight was also very surprised, obviously he didn't understand what happened to his father.

Not only Ye Jingxing didn't understand, but all the princes who had entered the court including Ye Jingche didn't understand.

Just seeing Uncle Duan standing there with his face unchanged, they also understood that Uncle Duan must have known about the behavior of the emperor today.

Now that Uncle Duan knew about it, then the emperor did it on purpose today?
Thinking of this possibility, the princes fell silent.

Except for a few princes, some courtiers who knew Emperor Ruikang's temperament well did not speak again.

Because they didn't open their mouths, Emperor Ruikang went smoothly, Xu Shiqiu wanted to open his mouth, but Ye Jingxing gave him a wink.

With his brother-in-law's wink, Xu Shiqiu didn't speak.

Emperor Ruikang sat at the top, seeing the expressions of everyone below. Thinking of the result of the discussion with King Duan and Master Xuanling yesterday afternoon, Emperor Ruikang sighed in his heart, and finally concluded: "I didn't teach That's right, it's my fault."

Everyone didn't expect Emperor Ruikang to say such words suddenly, as soon as he finished speaking, the people standing in the court hall were all 'frightened', expressing that His Majesty was right.

"No, I was indeed wrong." Emperor Ruikang looked as if he had aged many years at this moment, but there was an aura in his eyes that he didn't have before, "Since I made a mistake, I have to change it." After saying this, Emperor Ruikang didn't say how he wanted to change, and directly announced his withdrawal from the court.

Ruikangdi's move really confused many people.

Even Xu Shiqiu couldn't figure it out.

Until Ye Jingxing came to Xu's house with the excuse of sending Xu Nuanwen back to visit Mrs. Xu.

"Father should have made a big move. Besides, if he made his words clear, we can't treat Ye Jingche too much." Ye Jingxing also went home and thought about it for a long time before he figured out that his father, although he personally uncovered the matter, , but in fact he was still protecting Ye Jingche.

After thinking about this point, although he felt uncomfortable, he also understood that his father and emperor had always been like this since the prince's accident.

Even if his son did something wrong, he was reluctant to take his son's life.

This time his father chose to reveal all the things Ye Jingche had done, which would indeed give Ye Jingche a bad reputation, and even completely fall out of the battle for the throne, but he could save his life.

Because he personally dealt with his own son, no matter which son is in power in the future, it is impossible to embarrass Ye Jingche with this matter.

After Ye Jingxing figured this out, he did it alone for a long time. Although he knew that if it were him, his father would do the same, but he still felt uncomfortable.

And he also has a feeling that his father is probably holding back a big move this time.

Seeing Ye Jingxing's sad expression, Xu Shiqiu didn't know what to say for a while.

After Ye Jingxing recovered, he saw Xu Shiqiu's dazed expression, but seeing him like this, Ye Jingxing laughed.

"Shi Qiu, you only have one daughter under your knee now, so I'm afraid you won't understand this kind of feeling." Ye Jingxing said, seeing Xu Shiqiu's silence, he said directly: "I have three sons under my knee, and brother Shuo is not your sister's. But in any case, in my heart, they are all my sons, and I think they can all live a good life. Presumably, Father, he also thinks this way now."

The son's mother is different, but they are all his son, his blood.

There is only one throne, and it can only be given to one son, but the other sons cannot be treated badly.

The throne is not easy to give, so he will pamper him in other aspects, as long as it is not too much, he will pamper him.

After Xu Shiqiu understood Ye Jingxing's words, he immediately knew what Emperor Ruikang was thinking this time.

He knew that his son had done something wrong, but he didn't want his son's life, so he took the responsibility for this mistake.

"Your Majesty is also a loving father."

Xu Shiqiu said so, but he kept shaking his head in his heart.

Now the Holy One is only thinking about how to be a father, but he has forgotten that he has a more important identity, the 'Emperor'.

He is the king of a country, and now he wants to be a loving father, but he is not an emperor.

If it weren't for the fact that there are many loyal ministers and few treacherous ministers in the court today, once this incident happened, there would probably be turmoil.

It's just that Xu Shiqiu didn't dare to say that.

Although the brother-in-law is good, that man is his father after all.

Ye Jingxing didn't know if he had read the meaning of Xu Shiqiu's words. In the end, he just raised his hand and patted Xu Shiqiu's shoulder and said, "Since Father has spoken about this matter, don't go into it too deeply. Since Father has already made a move, don't worry too much about it." Let this matter be so muddled. What's more, there is Uncle Duan around."

After hearing Ye Jingxing's words, Xu Shiqiu didn't speak, because he really didn't know how to speak.

The hatred between the Xu family and Ye Jingche is not something that can be let go, but now, he really can't do anything else.

Because of Ye Jingche's incident, the capital has become much more stable, but at this moment, the current owner of the merchant Jiang's family made a slip of the tongue after having a good business deal with someone outside.

He wanted to let his cousin go, but he was worried that his mother who had just passed away would be sad.

"My cousin was determined for me by my mother, but in my heart, my cousin is like my own sister, I..." Needless to say, Jiang Han has already revealed all the meaning of what he wants to reveal come out.

He married Xu Yanzhu because his deceased mother insisted on him.

This is filial piety.

As for the cousin who married back home, he has always regarded it as a 'sister', and Jiang Han has had a really hard year for marrying a cousin he regards as his own sister.

Not long after Jiang Han said this himself, women who had met Xu Yanzhu before began to spread rumors that the young wife of the Jiang family had always been a daughter before.

"My eyes are very sharp. During the summer banquet at home, I could tell that she was still a girl."

"Hey, she is also pitiful. Otherwise, relying on her status, it would be easy to find a small official with a good education. In the future, Xu's family will be promoted, and she might be able to wear the command uniform."

"Who says it's not? My aunt is the princess and concubine. Even if their second wife is not very promising, but my uncle and third uncle are capable."

"Last year, the Xu family hadn't returned to Beijing yet."

"Whether you go back to Beijing or not, at least they still have a real aunt who is the prince's concubine."

……

The merchants in the capital city have been discussing a lot recently about the Jiang family.

It is also heard that some officials and eunuchs entered Xu's family because of this incident.

Of course, some people doubted this matter.

But not many people knew about Xu Yanzhu and Yan Ye, so those people guessed for a long time, and finally guessed one. The Xu family felt that the Jiang family was not worthy of Xu Yanzhu, and this was forcing Jiang Han to let go.

But not long after this statement came out, when Jiang Han was out to inspect the business, he directly stated to his friends that he had decided to reconcile with his cousin, let her go, and would prepare a dowry for her.

"My cousin's mother is my real aunt, and my father had my aunt as a younger sister back then, but now I am the only one in the Jiang family. Today I treat my cousin like my own sister, and in the future, my child will also have a real aunt who loves me."

What Jiang Han said was particularly pleasant, even the Jiang family who heard the news was also very beautiful.

Originally, she was worried that Xu Yanzhu would really leave the Jiang family, but now that Jiang Han said that, she was very happy.

Thinking of how much his elder brother loved him back then, Jiang Shi didn't have such a big opinion on Jiang Han's reconciliation with Xu Yanzhu.

It's just that she didn't expect that as soon as she went to Mrs. Xu and asked where Xu Yanzhu would live after leaving Jiang's house, Mrs. Xu told her directly that she had already made arrangements.

"You don't need to worry about this matter. The most important thing for you now is to make it clear to Yan Lang and the Xu family." Although Mrs. Xu looked down on Jiang, she also kept the matter of Xu Yanzhu's pregnancy from her, but Thinking that she is Xu Yanzhu's biological mother after all, she finally softened her tone and said, "If you have the heart, prepare well. Jiang's family has a hundred days of filial piety. If you have time, you can come to the door to help."

After saying this, Mrs. Xu was afraid that Mrs. Jiang would see something when she went to Jiang's house, so she couldn't help but continued: "If it's not convenient to go, then prepare something to send. Your nephew has given you face like this, and you have to do it too." Make some gestures. He really wants to keep his filial piety now, but he will always get married in the future, you go and tell him, and I will help keep an eye on his marriage in the future."

Mrs. Xu made a promise. Although she didn't know if Jiang could understand it, Mrs. Xu believed that as long as she passed the words to Jiang Han, Jiang Han would definitely understand.

Jiang Han did understand what Mrs. Xu meant.

He had thought a long time ago that with his status as a merchant, he had already married three wives, and the first two were short-lived. It might not be easy for him to marry again in the future.

Even if they are both merchants, there are probably no girls from other families who are willing to marry him.

But he didn't expect that Mrs. Xu would actually make a promise. With Mrs. Xu's words, Jiang Han can be sure that the woman he marries back home in the future will definitely not be bad.

Because of this incident, Jiang Han was in a very good mood, while he was busy with Hundred Days of Filial Piety, he was also busy with sending Xu Yanzhu away.

Xu Yanzhu has raised her spirits during this time. If she wants to leave, she must show her face in front of everyone. At least, she must not spread the word that she is pregnant.

He should pay attention to this matter, and someone from the Xu family will come to help.

For Xu Yanzhu's matter, Xu Shiqiu was also very busy during this time.

Although Xu Yanzhu had married once, there were quite a few people in the capital who wanted to have a relationship with the Xu family. Many people didn't care that Xu Yanzhu was married, and went to Xu Shiqiu to inquire about the news, hoping to marry Xu Yanzhu back home.

Helpless, Xu Shiqiu could only say to the outside world: "Although my niece wants to reconcile with Jiang Han, but she said that she is a one-year wife of the Jiang family after all, so after leaving the Jiang family, she will go to the temple to observe filial piety for another year. .”

As soon as Xu Shiqiu said this, some people retreated immediately, but others still did not give up.

Just when Xu Shiqiu felt that he could not bear it any longer, an unbelievable news suddenly came out from the palace.
