The Fourth Master is sitting on the main seat, with the Da Lang, Xiao Si and Wu Lang on one side, and the Er Lang, Xiao Wu and Liu Lang on the other.
Xiao Wu explained to Dalang: "Brother, I have no intention of targeting you! The laws of the imperial court are true and need to be adjusted. To be fair, you can tell me whether what I said makes sense."
rational!
The eldest prince also said: "I have no intervention at this time. It is true that Su Youji was recommended by me, but...there are no private contacts other than official business." What happened this time is completely inexplicable.
Tongtong stood up and poured wine for both of them: "This time we invited my family to the East Palace to talk about this matter! Don't worry, let's try this wine first."
The fourth master picked it up first and said with a smile: "This is the court. Many times, the situation pushes people away. But we can't be pushed away by the situation! I have always believed that Da Chen can make it this far.
Nothing else, that is, the royal family has never really fallen apart. So now, the elders on the upper two levels are still there. If the brothers turn against each other and the sisters become enemies, Dachen will not be far away from the country's destruction."
Wu Lang blushed, raised his glass, and toasted to Xiao Wu: "Master Xiao is my father-in-law, and I am responsible for this matter."
"No! No, Brother Five Emperors, you can't say that!"
Wulang shook his head, said nothing, and just drank the wine. Erlang sighed: "It's Mr. Gao who is very close to me and makes him think too much...I will care about this matter."
The fourth master raised the cup high: "It has only been five years since the New Deal. In these five years, no one has died due to natural disasters. This is all due to the single-mindedness of the royal family, and the court has to be united... But this is far from the end. Anyone can
It is impossible to disturb this pool of water for any purpose. Chaos in the court will inevitably lead to fratricide; chaos in the world will inevitably lead to disaster for the royal family. Now, any turbulence may cause all previous achievements to be wasted. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure the stability of the court.
, to ensure the stability of the world." Several people raised their glasses and drank the wine in the glass.
After the banquet ended, Fourth Master said to Tongtong: "Check! Check the stance of the adults in the court. Find out what they are planning in private."
OK! Then check it out.
Tongtong was secretly investigating with Han Siyuan, and the eldest prince was secretly looking for Su Youji.
Su Youji was worried when he was summoned, "Your Highness, I also act impartially! This disobedience is a treasonous crime! If the imperial court changes the law, then it will act in accordance with the law after the modification. But
Before the law was revised, I made no mistakes."
The eldest prince asked him: "The fifth princess once coordinated with you privately on how to handle this case. How did you reply at that time?"
Su Youji: "...this..."
"You are the parent officer, and you are the one who decides the case! What if it is not the Ministry of Kun, but the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of War, or any official from the Yamen who is involved in the case because of family affairs?"
The sweat on Su Youji's head started to drop, "We should first send an official letter to the yamen and suspend him from his duties. After the lawsuit is settled and it is confirmed that the other party is not at fault, the yamen will then send an official letter to the yamen where he works. In the future, the official letter will be used to explain the situation."
The form should be clearly explained, and then the other party's Yamen will send it to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to keep a record. After that, he will be allowed to resume his official position and be allowed to work as an errand."
The eldest prince asked: "Why didn't you do this at that time? The fifth princess couldn't wait for your official letter, so she took the initiative to communicate with you. She didn't know the details of the case, and because she couldn't wait for the official letter, she thought that the case itself was not big, just ordinary.
The conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law led to an internal investigation. And you acquiesced in this!"
Su Youji knelt down: "Your Highness!" He kept kowtowing, "Your Highness, haven't you clearly seen the harm of women participating in politics? How many tragedies have happened since the Kunbu was established? It was only last year.
, there were 129 concubines who were forced to death by their wives; last year alone, there were 492 brothel girls who were forced to die because of female officials; last year alone, each of them
There are 1,008 maidservants who have hanged themselves." He raised his head, tears streaming down his face, "Last year alone, more than 3,750 concubines and concubines died because of their legitimate mothers.
People. There are many ways to force people in the back house, and these people have been forced to death."
He choked up and said, "How many women participating in politics can separate public and private affairs? Family affairs are complicated, and when you gain power, you will persecute the more pitiful women. Is this right? But such things are family affairs. If the people do not take action,
Officials will not investigate! What's more, these women are colluding with each other, who dares to accuse them? If they really kicked their husbands out of their official positions, or forced their husbands to let go of their concubines, then I would still respect them. But in fact, what about women?
His Highness has never seen how cruel he is to a woman. And does His Highness ever know this?"
The eldest prince frowned, he really didn't know this.
Su Youji's tears fell instantly, "Your Highness, not every woman can be as big-hearted and generous as the queen and fairy aunts! Your Highness, I am also a concubine. My biological mother... fell into a well three years ago!
My aunt's mother... wants to accuse me of being disobedient because I refused to marry my aunt's slant-eyed niece! Later, when I became an official in Beijing, my aunt repeatedly accused my wife of being unfilial and wanted to divorce me, marrying my aunt's mother and leaving her a widow.
My niece. I didn’t obey, and I didn’t dare to ask for a royal decree for my wife, for fear of offending my aunt’s mother. Who would have thought that ever since there were female officials, my aunt’s mother has been pressing harder and harder..."
The eldest prince slapped his hand on the table, "Then why didn't you sue?"
What?
The eldest prince sneered: "When you enter the imperial court, you are an official of the imperial court. You are an official of the imperial court, and you are proud to obey the laws of the imperial court. It seems that your biological mother died because of your aunt. But in fact? You are not like that.
If you cherish the official title on your head and dare to embarrass your family in the court, your aunt will not be able to succeed, and your biological mother will not die. Is it your aunt that you fear? No! You are afraid of others censuring you, you are afraid of you
His official position is not guaranteed!"
Su Youji fell to the ground and cried out.
The eldest prince stood up: "Go back and sort out the cases you mentioned, then hand them over and then submit them to the Ministry of Punishment. This is your only chance to atone for your crimes."
Yes! I obey.
After the person left, the eldest prince wrote a note. Female officials are beneficial, but their disadvantages must be rectified.
At this time, Xiaowu can't be too protective. He can't put the female officer on guard when he touches her. This mentality is wrong!
Master Xiao has selfish motives, but if she has no clue, flies can't bite the seamless eggs.
When Mr. Xiao faced his son-in-law, he was also angry: "In the eyes of His Highness, do I have no public heart at all?"
Wu Lang turned the tea cup in his hand: "As your son-in-law, I am lucky to have a father-in-law like you who protects me! But as a prince, facing a cabinet minister like you... Mr. Xiao, you
Nor is he a pure minister."
These words really make me angry to death!
Pure ministers? From ancient times to the present, if you look through the history books, how many talented ministers can you find?
Wu Lang looked at him: "But Mr. Xiao, from ancient times to the present, how many sincere kings have been like our ancestors and our fathers? Even the prince, if you treat him with sincerity, he will not let you down."
If you compare it to this, Mr. Xiao, your heart as a minister is worthy of such a king."
Xiao Yun: "..." At that time, my breath was stuck in my chest and I had no way to vent.
Therefore, what the fifth prince said is - the truth!
Wu Lang stood up and said, "I hope you will think carefully about what you are saying today. What your position is has nothing to do with me! But who said that you and I are the father-in-law? If Mr. Xiao insists on having his own way, then I will have to let others know."
You know where I stand."
As soon as he finished speaking, he really left.
Xiao Yun just beat his chest angrily, why did his daughter marry such a stubborn prince? Whenever he had any ambition, he would find a way to try and stretch his hand towards the throne. But... he couldn't help but
Ah! There was a cabinet minister named Yue Laozi. He actually believed that the prince was also a gentleman.
Isn’t this the most ridiculous thing in the world!
Mrs. Xiao caressed Mr. Xiao's chest, "Master, tell me, will the prince go back to embarrass our daughter?"
Since you all claim to be a gentleman, how can you express your anger at others? Keep your heart in your stomach, this will never happen.
Mrs. Xiao said: "Sure enough, ruthlessness is the most important thing in the emperor's family! Before I came to the house, he was really our son-in-law, without any pretense. But when things happen, he will fall out with you. Master, I am very a little bit.
So sad."
Mr. Xiao sighed: "Don't go to the palace in the future! I and the fifth prince are not the same people at all."
While the couple was talking, the old housekeeper stood behind the screen and looked at Mr. Xiao.
Mr. Xiao patted his old wife's hand and said, "You go back and rest first! I have to think about how to write this book. Go ahead! I won't go back tonight."
OK! "It's cold at night, please order two more charcoal pots."
Got it! Go for it.
As soon as Mrs. Xiao left, the old housekeeper entered the house and said, "Sir, the guests are here and they have been accommodated in the rockery."
Walk!
Entering the secret room of the rockery, a man in a black cloak was standing with his backlit.
"Black cloak?" Tongtong burned the secret letter sent by shopkeeper Chen, and then frowned.
Sure enough, there was someone in the middle who contacted us about this matter.
The fourth master was not surprised: "The wind will not rise without hesitation. Someone must want to stir up the wind and rain again. Let's check it! If you clean it up again, you will be scared."
As a result, Han Siyuan entered the palace the next day.
As soon as he came in and leaned on the couch, he said: "If I find you staring at the person I'm staring at, come into the palace and let me know. Stop the conflict."
They were staring at the same person, "Who are you, second brother, staring at?"
Han Siyuan looked at Tongtong and said, "Mrs. She!"
Mrs. She? That Yi woman?
"yes!"
Tongtong frowned, "She was the one who went to Xiao Yun's house last night?" It's so convenient for a woman to go out.
"It's not her!" Han Siyuan said, "It's a guard beside her."
Guard? This person is special?
"Special!" Han Siyuan said: "He was originally a foster child of the Han family..."
Tongtong shook his head: "Why have my people never noticed this person?"
"This person is someone who is easy to miss. He likes gambling and is aggressive. Anyone who looks at this person would not think that he has much wealth in the palace. He has always been a guard in the palace, just because he has some connections with the Han family.
, I grew up at home, so I have more freedom than others."
Tongtong asked: "What is this person's name? Is there a portrait of this person?"
Han Siyuan took out a portrait from his pocket and said, "Look! This man's surname is Guo, and his name is Guo Wei."
Tongtong was stunned for a moment, "What did you call it?"
Guo Wei? What's wrong?
Tongtong picked up the portrait. The portrait was of a man in his thirties, with a very rough appearance. She asked, "Is this man's wife's surname Chai?"
Exactly! Have you noticed this person too?
Tongtong felt like ten thousand horses were racing past. He asked again, "Does Guo Wei have a son?"
"His wife gave birth to a child, but both sons died in infancy. There is still a daughter alive. However, his wife's nephew has been raised by them. The child is about ten years old?"
"Your name is Chai Rong?"
Yes! His name is Chai Rong.
Tongtong's heartbeat was beating fiercely. Guo Wei was the Zhou Taizu who founded the Great Zhou Dynasty. Because he had no children, he raised his nephew under his knees. This was Chai Rong.
Where did Zhao Kuangyin's empire come from? It was taken from the descendants of Chai Rong. After Chai Rong died at the age of thirty-nine, Zhao Kuangyin became a Huangpao man under the control of a group of sworn brothers and tribesmen.
How come this is so easy, Guo Wei shows up!
Moreover, how could Guo Wei be related to the Han family?
Tongtong whispered to Han Siyuan, "It's very important to keep an eye on this person! I'll ask shopkeeper Chen to evacuate the person. Only the second brother will have someone keep an eye on him."
Han Siyuan was stunned, "This person works for others."
Yes! But you don’t know this person’s abilities. You can’t explain this clearly to Han Siyuan, “Just keep an eye on him, tens of thousands!”
Okay! I'll keep an eye on this matter myself.
After sending Han Siyuan away, Tongtong hurriedly found the Fourth Master and spread the portrait in front of the Fourth Master.
Fourth Master looked at the portrait and then at Tongtong: "Who is this...?"
Tongtong stared into his eyes and spit out a name: "Guo Wei!"
Fourth Master: "..." Are you kidding?
No!
The Fourth Master shifted his gaze to the portrait again, "Isn't it the same name?"
"There is a wife named Chai. Her son died in infancy, and she has a nephew by her side. The nephew's name is Chai Rong!"
Fourth Master let out a 'ha', "How did you find this person...?"
"He has been raised in the Han family?"
The fourth master was stunned: "Raised in the Han family?"
Yes! They were raised in the Han family, so they are said to be related to each other.
The Fourth Master was flipping through Guo Wei's information in his mind, and then he slapped his forehead and remembered, "This man encountered a rough situation. After his father Guo Jian was killed, he was still a child. He then went to Luzhou with his mother Wang.
Unfortunately, his mother died of illness on the way, so he went to seek refuge with his aunt! According to historical records, his aunt was named Han..."
His mother's surname was Wang, and his aunt's surname was naturally Wang. How could her surname be Han?
"We don't know! But, either, this aunt married into the Han family; or, she is not a biological aunt, but a cousin! The cousin's surname is Han."
That's it! In other words, it is recorded in the history books that Guo Wei was indeed raised by a relative with the surname Han?
Yes! But I never thought it would be this Han family. The fourth master asked: "What has this person done?"
"This person had a secret meeting with Xiao Yun last night."
Fourth Master raised his eyebrows, thinking it was quite interesting. A king who founded a country was no ordinary person. His abilities were beyond the control of ordinary people!
As far as the Han family is concerned, the old prince is still able, and Han Zongdao is barely able. But neither Han Zongmin nor Han Zongjing have the ability to control this person.
He was walking back and forth inside, not only wearing the clothes of the Han family, but doing his own business.
The fourth master said, "After keeping an eye on him, choose a time and let's meet this person by chance."
Ah? Keep it?
"Those who can build a country must be able to bend and stretch, and can steer according to the wind." The fourth master said, "Smart people have to use smart methods, so as not to be afraid of overturning the world!"
It makes Tongtong worried. In this fucked-up era, emperors meet emperors at every turn. Is this really going to kill you?
When I came out, I looked back at the fourth master and couldn't help but yell at him: Why are you not afraid of him? After all, you still want to compete with other emperors. Don't think that I can't see this small-mindedness! What are you talking about!
