Step on a branch

Chapter 60

The night rolls in.

Accompanied by layers of clouds, at the second watch, snowflakes floated in the capital.

The first snow came eagerly and violently, and by the time it fell in the morning, the snow had already reached the ankles.

Lin Fan got up, greeted the old lady briefly, and was driven to court.

The snow is heavy, if you don't leave earlier, you may be delayed on the road.

Before he could walk out of the mansion, someone trotted towards him to report, saying "Guard Huang is visiting".

Lin Fan couldn't help being surprised.

In the study, Huang Yi rubbed his face vigorously.

Lin Fan glanced at him and asked Fang Tian to fetch a basin of warm water.

Huang Yi seemed to be in good spirits, but he was also a bit tired, with blue stubble on his chin. Obviously, he was on duty last night and stayed up all night. He came to Dingguo Mansion just after changing his guard.

"What's the matter, so anxious?" Lin Fan asked.

Huang Yi said: "It's nothing to me, Duke Fu and Shizi are still kneeling outside the imperial study room, Yan Shu spent the night in prison."

Lin Fan raised his eyebrows, surprised.

Yan Shu's stupid matter, as an ordinary person, he would be thrown in prison to wait for punishment.

But his surname was Yan, firstly the girl didn't want to sue, and secondly, nothing happened, and it didn't hurt to enter the yamen.

Therefore, Lin Fancai sent the person to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and the Empress Dowager will deal with it whether it is good or bad.

In his expectation, a scolding is a certainty, a beating is not bad, and at best it is thrown into a cell to calm down.

Unexpectedly, the emperor punished him so severely.

To make Fu Guogong and his son still kneeling, what Yan Shu is facing is definitely not calm and calm.

"At the age of Duke Fu," Lin Fan shook his head slightly, "Can you withstand such heavy snow?"

The basin has arrived.

Huang Yi twisted the handkerchief and wiped his face, said: "If you can't stand it, you have to suffer it. Can he still learn from the Marquis of Yongning, that he will die if he says so?"

The Marquis of Yongning was taking advantage at that time, no matter how angry the emperor was with his pretending, he couldn't really send him off.

Fu Guogong was on the contrary, if he dared to pretend, it would be like adding fuel to the fire, burning Yan Shu to death.

"Yan Shu also bumped into each other." Huang Yi wiped his face, feeling much more energetic, "Before the three of them arrived at the imperial study, the grand master just left."

After all, it's a matter before the imperial court, Huang Yi can't talk about it in detail.

Of course, with just a few words, Lin Fan could guess what happened.

The emperor and the Taifu's words must not be happy.

Tai Tuo was the gentleman chosen by the late emperor for the emperor, and he was the assistant minister. When the teacher educated the students, he was unambiguous.

The emperor was reprimanded by the Taifu, and he couldn't lose his temper, so he had to turn his temper on Yan Shu.

What's more, Yan Shu's robbery of civilian women is much more powerful than Zhao Qi's private teaching and receiving.

The emperor can't deal with his own son, can't he also deal with other people's sons?

"What does the emperor want to do?" Lin Fan asked.

"I guess, follow the law and don't give any favors." Huang Yi replied.

Lin Fan frowned.

One hundred rods, three thousand li.

No wonder Duke Fu and his son knelt all night.

"The Palace of Compassion and Ning should be preserved." Lin Fan said.

"I don't think I can keep it," Huang Yi finished, and asked again, "You didn't mention me in the booklet you handed over to the imperial study yesterday? Without my sharp eyes, you Chiyiwei could catch someone?"

Lin Fan glanced at Huang Yi.

It turned out to be the case.

This is why Huang Yi didn't hurry back to sleep after changing his guard, and came to look for him.

Lin Fan did not mention Huang Yi.

It is estimated that this matter will not be resolved, even if Deping knows that Huang Yi made the move, when Yan Shu retreats completely, their master and servant will at most scold Huang Yi behind his back, and will not trouble Huang Yi.

The emperor didn't know that if the Palace of Compassion and the Palace of Fuguo complained or blamed, it would only be blamed on Lin Fan and Chiyiwei, not Huang Yi.

Unexpectedly, it was a big deal.

Unable to keep Yan Shu, the Yan family hated and annoyed, and turned all their attention on Lin Fan.

"What's the rush?" Lin Fan laughed, "You want to be unlucky with me, but you're afraid you won't have a chance? When Fu Guogong has the heart to ask the ins and outs carefully, I have to open my mouth and confess to you."

Huang Yi was afraid that others would not support him, so he said: "I don't care, I don't feel wronged in the first place, how can my grandfather make me suffer?"

Originally, according to the rules, the situation of the imperial study should not be mentioned too much.

You have to be extremely cautious even when you click.

But Huang Yi was worried that Lin Fan didn't know the emperor's treatment of Yan Shu, and if he discussed it in the morning and said something inappropriate, he would be in a dilemma.

"You should be more careful, be careful that the Palace of Compassion and Ning will really mark you down." Huang Yi reminded.

Lin Fan smiled.

In fact, he has already been recorded.

Don't look at Lin Fan's casual smile, Huang Yi knew that he had listened, so he didn't say anything more.

It was almost time to go to court, and the two of them left Dingguo's mansion together, Lin Fan went to Miyagi, and Huang Yi returned to Taishi's mansion.

Lifting his feet to step on the snow, Huang Yi paused for a moment, then turned his head and asked, "You said you were giving a gift before, did you send it out?"

Lin Fan didn't answer, took the reins from Fang Tian, ​​and got on the horse.

The horse ran away, raising a cloud of snow and mist.

Huang Yi nimbly dodged to the side, dodging Xue Mozi.

Seeing Fang Tian laughing at the side, Huang Yi grabbed his shoulder and asked, "Did your master fail in giving gifts? Just mentioning it makes you so angry."

Fang Tian quickly shook his head, looking for a place for Lin Fan: "There is no failure, it is because I haven't given it yet! I am still thinking about what to give!"

Huang Yi clicked his tongue.

He gave so many suggestions last time, but Lin Fan still didn't make up his mind?

It seems that that girl is not easy in Lin Fan's mind!
In the court room, the ministers of civil and military affairs have almost arrived.

Lin Fan entered, greeted each other politely, raised his eyes, and saw Marquis Yongning in the corner.

Ever since he was brought back to the mansion that day, the old Hou Ye had been "recovering from his illness", and today was the first day he went to court.

Lin Fan thought to himself, Marquis Yongning's illness was recovering at an untimely time.

If he had known earlier that the emperor was going to deal with Yan Shu, he should have reminded Marquis Yongning to lie down for another two days, so as not to let the emperor think of Yan Shu and Fuguo Duke's mansion, and then think of Zhao Qi and Yongning Marquis mansion, and be angered for no reason.

And Qin Yin really didn't know.

It wasn't until they stood in the Golden Luan Hall, when the emperor yelled at the emperor's relatives who knew the law and hated it, that Qin Yin and all the ministers knew that Yan Shu was about to end.

Of course, at this moment, there is no one in the court to intercede for Yan Shu.

What's the excuse for getting the stolen goods and Yan Shu himself confessed to the crime?

The so-called Eight Discussions were originally "discussions" by the emperor.

The emperor must act in accordance with the law. As a courtier, shouldn't it be impossible to say "law"?

In the main hall, every sound is "the emperor's sage".

This eased the emperor's depression a lot.

After retreating from court, the emperor walked outside the imperial study room, and seeing Duke Fu and his son still kneeling, he ignored him, threw his sleeves and walked over.

Under the front porch, the chief eunuch of the Compassionate Ning Palace was waiting respectfully.

"The empress dowager is waiting for you in the side hall." The prince said in a sharp voice.

The emperor's brows furrowed into ravines.

He stepped into the side hall, greeted Ann patiently, and asked: "Could it be that the queen mother is also here to intercede?"

　Thank you book friend aotime for your reward.
