Chapter 42:

A few people walked towards them, the leader was a middle-aged man, although he was dressed in ordinary clothes, but his majesty made people dare not look directly at him, it was His Majesty Zhao Rui.

His Majesty has a very close personal relationship with Master Kong Jian, and often goes out of the palace in micro-clothes to ask the master about Buddhism or chess skills. Song Jinyuan, as the commander of the Jingwu Guard, naturally knew about this.

He hastened to salute, but in his heart he muttered a few annoying and **** words in a mess, secretly thinking that there was some unlucky wind blowing from somewhere today, and his fate and luck were all bad. He also scolded himself for being obsessed with ghosts, why did he follow Wen Chengtian out of curiosity. It was enough to see through Wen Chengtian's secret, but he actually followed him to Huguo Temple. First, he listened to Master Kong Jian's commands that made him choke in his throat, but now because of his inappropriate words, he was bumped into by His Majesty.

Bad luck.

"Return to Your Majesty, what I'm talking about is the girl from the Ye family." He bit the bullet and said.

As a courtier, loyalty comes first.

In front of the emperor, don't lie, don't lie, this is the family motto of their Song family.

"Miss Ye family?" How could Zhao Rui have never heard of Ye Ping's name, and it could even be said that he paid more attention to the rumors in Beijing than anyone else. The woman surnamed Ye is obsessed with Yu'er, and her reputation is already extremely bad. "You're talking about that girl Ye that was rumored in Beijing recently? How could I not know that such a girl would be a natural match with Yu'er?"

The tone was slightly angry, and Emperor Longwei made people feel terrified.

Song Jinyuan groaned secretly, how could he know that his quick tongue would be heard by His Majesty. From the corner of the eye, he glanced at someone beside him who was out of the way, and couldn't help but grit his teeth. Well, you Wen Chengtian, he just teased Miss Ye, this kid doesn't care about his life or death.

"Forgive me, Your Majesty, but I made a slip of the tongue for a moment. It was only because Miss Ye said that she didn't want to be a concubine, and just now the minister heard that the county king also said that he would not take a concubine, so he casually sighed with emotion."

"She doesn't want to be a concubine, so what does she have to do with King Wen? Mr. Song has a lot of things to do recently, and his brain is not working well. If not, I will allow you to rest for a few days, what do you think?"

What rest?

This is to suspend his job.

Song Jinyuan knelt on the ground with a "plop" and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

"I sympathize with my ministers, I want you to go home and rest, why do you beg for mercy? Could it be that you want to resist the order!"

"Your Majesty, I'm not tired. Even if I still have breath, I won't fall down. I remember that I still have matters to deal with. Please allow me to leave first."

In Song Jinyuan's heart, it was a bitterness, but he still couldn't tell, the kind who is dumb and eats coptis. This kid Wen Chengcheng would not save him, so he wrote down the account.

At this time, he heard Wen Yu say: "Your Majesty, Mr. Song is very loyal. If you let him go back to rest, you might as well kill him."

Is there such a persuasion?

What if His Majesty really cut off his head?

Song Jinyuan wanted to cry, he was careless in making friends, he was careless in making friends.

Zhao Rui didn't know the friendship between these two people, so he waved away impatiently.

Song Jinyuan retired respectfully as if he had received an amnesty. He hurried all the way as if being chased by ghosts, and kept walking out of the Huguo Temple, only then did he have the time to wipe the cold sweat off his forehead.

Now that he came back to his senses, while cursing Wen Yu that Ya Zi must be repaid, he suddenly felt a little bit worried about Ye Ping.

His Majesty loves Chengtian, even if Chengtian pokes a big hole, His Majesty will not blame him. He himself is not afraid that His Majesty will annoy him, His Majesty knows exactly what kind of virtue he is, but he is afraid that His Majesty will anger Miss Ye. The Ye family has no roots and foundation, and offended the Wang family. If he is hated by His Majesty again, he may be in the forefront forever in the future.

At the moment, my mood was extremely complicated, and I didn't know whether I should tell Ye Ping.

Seeing the person who was an eyesore leave, Zhao Rui's expression softened a lot.

As an emperor, his only warmth was given to him by his sister, so he gave all his little warmth to his nephew.

This nephew is outstanding in appearance and ability, let alone the daughter of a subordinate, even the princesses under his knees, he feels a little unworthy. If the princesses were not too young, he would never have chosen among the daughters of his courtiers. Just now Song Jinyuan was joking, but Yu'er was not angry. Could it be that he is not normal to that woman surnamed Ye?

If she is really a woman with integrity and rules, she can swear that she will not be a concubine. A woman who has acted beyond the rules, said that she refused to be a concubine, she simply didn't know what to say.

Could it be that he still wants to marry into the princess mansion?

"I heard that woman is on good terms with your second sister?"

"Yes, Xueniang likes her very much."

Zhao Rui frowned, "This girl is very scheming, I'm afraid she approached on purpose. There is no mistress in the Princess Mansion, so the rules are messed up from top to bottom. You are not young, you should marry a wife and have children, and cut off those who care about you." Think about it."

This caring person is talking about Ye Ping.

Rumors are like the wind, and the wind grows wings, and the things about Ye Ping have long been unknown. As an emperor, seeing Duo Eryu cheating, he doesn't like calculating women the most, and Zhao Rui is the same.

Those lowly people are not worth mentioning.

Seeing that his nephew was silent, he frowned.

"King Zhang will come to Beijing soon. I remember that his eldest daughter Qingyang is also sixteen years old, so she is a suitable age for you."

King Zhang is Zhao Rui's younger brother, and he didn't play a part in the battle for the heir apparent, so Zhao Rui was kind to his younger brother after he ascended the throne. King Zhang is also more sensible. He has been staying in the fief all these years, and he will not easily go to Beijing.

This trip to Beijing is to sacrifice to the late emperor's mausoleum.

Wen Yu thought, how could he and a teenage girl be of the same age. Not to mention his age in his previous life, but now he is twenty-four years old, and it is not suitable for him to be sixteen years old.

If the truth is appropriate, it is not in age, but in experience and mind.

Unconsciously, a teenage girl appeared in his mind, cunning and fickle, infatuated and pitiful at one moment, beautiful and natural without knowing it.

"Your majesty loves me so much, I can't repay you in this life, I can only repay you with a pure heart, no cliques, no selfishness, no involvement with the family, no desire, no desire."

Zhao Rui was shocked when he heard this.

"Yu'er!"

"Your Majesty, when King Zhang returns to Beijing this time, he will not leave easily after offering sacrifices to the mausoleum. Once he stays in Beijing for a year or so, the situation in Beijing will definitely change. If I marry Qingyang, I will be bound in the future."

"Qingyang is not successful, because there are still daughters of aristocratic families. Regardless of Marquis or Wang Xie, you can choose a daughter who is educated, rational, virtuous and dignified."

Zhao Rui was really anxious, if he didn't really love this nephew, he would have decided to marry him long ago.

When Sister Huang was pregnant for more than three months, the imperial physician diagnosed that it was a boy. Sister Huang said that the man is good, and he has great plans to start a family and start a career. It's not like my daughter's house, where you restrain yourself too much. He also said that in the future, he only wants his children to be safe and at ease, and to marry someone who is pleasing to his heart.

If not, why would he follow Yu'er's temper.

"You don't like the daughter of the Marquis of Wu'an, you don't want the daughter of the Xie family, I really don't know what you want?"

"Your Majesty, the hearts of the noble families are not dead, and you fight for me. If you marry a woman from one of the families, no matter what you do in the future, you will inevitably become the help of a certain force. Has your majesty forgotten the relationship between you and my minister?" How did my mother come to the front step by step?"

How could Zhao Rui forget.

The first emperor's palace was full, and there were many daughters from the family. Although he is the first prince, because he was born late and ranked low, he almost didn't grow up alive. If it wasn't for the imperial sister's protection, how could he fight a **** path among the royal brothers who have backing. Later, he listened to the Queen's sister's confession. At the beginning of his ascension to the throne, he was not in a hurry to have an heir, nor was he in a hurry to establish a heir. He just didn't want to repeat the same mistakes.

There was a moment of silence, and the wind passed along the corridor.

The bells under the eaves in front of the hall swayed with the wind, making a crisp sound. The sound startled the resting birds on the roof, and they flew away flutteringly.

Sandalwood bursts, mixed with the sound of monks chanting.

"One moment, another moment. I can protect you, just like your mother protected me back then. King Zhang has been very peaceful these years. This time he returned to Beijing to sacrifice the mausoleum, and secondly, to celebrate Qingyang's marriage. Qingyanggang I took you to see it when I was born, and you liked it very much. Thinking about Qingyang's appearance and temperament when he grows up, you should like it too."

Seeing that Wen Yu had something to say, Zhao Rui quickly said: "I know your heart, you don't want to be influenced by the family, if you marry Qingyang, I will rest assured, Qingyang marrying anyone is better than marrying you." I am at ease. I will not force you, nor will I force you. When King Zhang returns to Beijing, you spend some time with Qingyang before making a decision. What do you think?"

What I said was really heart-wrenching.

It is not unreasonable for everyone in the world to say that Wen Yu is favored.

How could it be possible that Wen Yu hadn't seen the King of Qingyang County when he grew up, the romantic princess who was known throughout the capital at first avoided people's eyes and ears, but later turned out to be unobtrusive and often flaunted with his privately raised male pet.

"Go back to Your Majesty, I don't want to."

"It's just getting along, and you don't want to?"

Zhao Rui really didn't understand his nephew. If someone else had such a background, he might be showing off his clothes every day, and his wives and concubines would have enjoyed the blessings of being equal. Where is it like this child, his color changes when he talks about marriage, and he regards women as demons and ghosts. In the past, he would take his face into account and deal with it one or two. Now it's not even perfunctory, and he directly refuses.

What is the reason?

Could it be...

He remembered a rumor that he suppressed before, and he had a bad premonition. Could it be that Yu'er is really not born to move like those people said?

"Yu'er, tell uncle honestly, do you have any unspeakable difficulties?"

As soon as the word "uncle" comes out, he is no longer a monarch and minister.

Wen Yu lowered his eyes, "No."

It's not that he doesn't know how people in the world criticize him privately, saying that he doesn't do it, that he is a man, and some people say that he killed too much and was punished by heaven. In the eyes of the world, he and Jinyuan share the same disease and pity each other, and they are both people who are severely punished by God.

Zhao Rui felt a little comforted, and began to speak earnestly. "Then why don't you want to marry a wife? Although women have a lot of troubles, they also have a lot of loveliness. If you resist, you are not letting yourself down."

"You still said that you didn't resist..." Zhao Rui seemed to think of something, his eyes suddenly became extremely sharp, "Could it be that you are talking about the woman named Ye?"

"Yes, and no." Wen Yu raised his eyes halfway, being as close and respectful as usual.

Zhao Rui was shocked.

How can such a woman get into Yu'er's eyes?

While he was shocked, he suddenly found that the nephew in front of him seemed a little different. Obviously he was still the child he raised with his own hands, obviously their uncle and nephew had a very good relationship, and they often saw each other in court. But for some reason, he seemed to have not seen this child for a long time, as if it had been many years.

This kind of Yu'er is very similar to Huang Jie.

"Yu'er, what is your identity, and what is her identity! I don't agree! If your mother is still alive, she will definitely not agree."

Even if Miss Huang is someone who expects Yu'er to be completely happy, she will not like such a woman.

Wen Yu raised his eyes, "Your Majesty, do you still remember what I said to you when I entered the criminal office at the age of fifteen?"

How could Zhao Rui not remember, at that time he repeatedly asked Yu'er if he really wanted to go this way. The criminal department is associated with blood and blood, and has been infested with yin and cold all year round. The children of the powerful and powerful would never choose such a way to become an official.

He had already planned a road to prosperity for Yu'er, so naturally he strongly opposed it at the beginning. But Yu'er persisted, knelt down in front of him and said that he was willing to be the emperor's sword, not seeking fame in history.

He remembered how shocked he was when he heard this.

Yu'er kept his word, and within three years he was already the number one criminal department in the Sheng Dynasty.

"You have done what you said yourself, and I am very pleased."

"That's why I want to tell Your Majesty that to this day, my original intention has not changed. If there is no accident, I will not marry a wife and have children in this life. I will be a knife all my life and be loyal to Your Majesty."

Zhao Rui understood.

The child was telling him that the woman surnamed Ye was an accident.

"You don't want to take a concubine, do you want to marry her?"

"You don't have to marry either."

Rao is the emperor of Zhao Rui, the emperor's mind is deep and strange, and he is still a little bit surprised to hear this statement. What do you mean you can't marry? What the **** is Yu'er thinking!

"Neither accept nor marry?"

"yes."

"You...you don't mean to..." Zhao Rui was speechless, he thought of Huang Jie. At the beginning, Huang Jie and Wen Guogong were in love with each other, but neither would marry the other. The emperor's sister is for him, so she has been reluctant to leave the palace to marry for a long time. Wen Guogong was waiting for the imperial sister, so he kept guarding silently. Now Yu'er also said that she will not marry or marry, and she is willing to be the emperor's sword for the rest of her life.

No.

He can't just watch Yu'er refuse to accept or marry.

If this is the case, what face will he have when he goes to see Huang Jie in the future.

Forget it, it's just a woman, it's not worth hurting the feelings of their uncle and nephew. Since Yu'er likes it, let's marry it. To control Yu'er's life experience, there is no need for marriage to icing on the cake.

After a long time, he sighed.

"If you like it, I will give you a marriage."

"Not urgent."

Why are you in no hurry?

Zhao Rui really couldn't figure out what this nephew was thinking, didn't he say that he was willing not to marry or accept that woman? Doesn't this kid know that he is anxious as an uncle?

"How old are you this year? Are you still in a hurry? Look at the second child of Taifu Chang's family. I remember that he is two years younger than you, but he even has children."

"Your Majesty, you should visit Duke Wen's mansion. The minister's cousin is not married either. You should also visit General Fuyuan's mansion. Mr. Song is still single."

Zhao Rui is angry, this kid is really annoying.

Is it not in a hurry?

It happened to be sent to Beijing to handle the case.

Wen Yu received the errand and retired respectfully.

Song Jinyuan, who had been guarding the Huguo Temple all the time, blocked him, and when he heard that he was going to be sent to work outside Beijing, he felt sorry for him. His Majesty even punished his own nephew, how can he have it?

Sure enough, after Wen Yu left, he not only had to take care of Jingwuwei's affairs, but also deal with many miscellaneous matters of Tongtiantai.

Ye Ping was completely unaware of the time they left Beijing and how busy they were.

She drank the medicine for two days, and menstruation came.

After a few more days, Ye Geng's legs and feet were almost healed, returning to their previous strengths. On the day he was on duty, he knew that Prince Wen was sent out of Beijing.

Not afraid that his eldest daughter would think too much, he didn't tell her.

Ye Ping has been busy making facial ointment for the past few days, and the dozen or so bottles left in Lan's shop have all been sold out. Lan's sent her confidant girl to visit Ye's house and asked her to do more.

The days of making money go by as quickly as a white horse. Until Ye Geng had an accident again, which broke the peaceful days these days.

After Ye Geng learned about what happened last time, he was naturally careful in everything.

It's just that this time it wasn't the body that hurt, but the official voice.

There are two kinds of students in Guozijian, one is official students, and the other is people's livelihood. The official students come from the children of princely and **** families, and the people's livelihood comes from the recommendation of officials from various states and counties.

Someone reported that he colluded with Qingzhou officials, opened the door to the students recommended by Qingzhou, and entered the Imperial College without strict assessment.

The whistleblower not only has witnesses, but also physical evidence. The witness is a Qingzhou student surnamed Jia, and the physical evidence is the correspondence between him and the county magistrate.

In the prosperous dynasty, the atmosphere is important, and the more educated people are, the more famous they are.

There were all the witnesses and material evidence, and Ye Geng was taken into custody on the spot.

Before the news reached Ye's family, Ye Ping had already learned what had happened from the people sent by Song Jinyuan. She appeased Ye Mu, Ye Shi, and left the house with the money in her pocket.

Ye Ting originally wanted to go with her, but she stopped her.

Right now the family is in a mess, if anything happens, there must be someone to take care of the place. Although grandma has time and effort, she is already old. Although Tingniang is weak, she can still bluff people with her strength.

She was not in a hurry to complain, but wanted to meet Song Jinyuan in private first. Song Jinyuan is the commander of the Jingwu Guard, and he is well aware of the seriousness and severity of this matter.

Walking halfway, he was stopped by someone.

The person who stopped her was very unfamiliar, a man who looked like a guard, and said that his master wanted to see her. She was vigilant, but the guard said that his master had a way to save her father.

She was even more skeptical, and her mind was full of conspiracy theories. In the end, the guard said that she went alone, and Sanxi stayed behind. If she hasn't come down after a quarter of an hour, Sanxi can report to the police.

To see or not to see?

Ye Ping decided to take a gamble for his father.

But she refused to go over and asked the guard to invite his master over. The guard seemed shocked, hesitated for a while, and then went to report to his master.

He entered the teahouse next to him, and after a while, a window on the second floor was wide open, and an old man who was almost sixty years old could be seen vaguely. The old man was dressed in an official uniform, with an official hat symbolizing a fourth-rank official on his head.

Ye Ping didn't know this person, but she knew that since he was an official and a fourth-rank official, she could meet him.

After entering the teahouse, she was led by the guards to the room on the second floor. In addition to the old man I saw just now, there is also a middle-aged servant in the room.

The servant had sharp eyes and had been sizing her up since she entered the door. The majesty of the eyes and the domineering temperament are not like a servant at all.

Before she could think about it, she listened to the old man's question.

"You are Ye's Pingniang?"

The voice was slightly shrill, which made people feel a little uncomfortable.

Ye Ping replied, "It's the little girl."

"Do you know who the official is?"

"My little girl doesn't know."

She only answered, but did not ask.

This man invited her here, wearing an official uniform and hat, as if he was afraid that she would not know his identity. Even if she doesn't ask, she believes that the other party will take the initiative to tell.

Seeing that she didn't ask, the old man snorted coldly, "My surname is Zhao, I think you should have heard of it."

Surname Zhao?

Ye Ping was startled, could it be Mr. Zhao who has a bad habit!
