Dajin royal family

Chapter 223 The Real Mistake (2771)

Zheng Ruyi, who wanted to understand, immediately apologized bitterly: "Grandfather, it's all grandson's fault. You shouldn't lose your sense of proportion because Yun Xiang is about to marry his sister. Grandson knows his mistake."

If he still can't understand the words at this moment, then he is really stupid and hopeless.The words have already been said so clearly, the person Cui Yunxiang is covering up this time is Cui Qi, the mastermind of the King of Han who once rebelled, how could the emperor let such a crime go because of the pleading of the Zheng family or the Cui family.

If it is really let go, where is the law of the country and where is the dignity of the royal family.

Seeing Zheng Ruyi admitting his mistake, Zheng Shanyuan sighed, "Ruyi, do you know that what makes me most angry is not that you came all the way back to let me rescue Cui Yunxiang, do you understand?"

These words made Zheng Ruyi, who already knew his mistake, fell into doubts again, if you didn't get angry and whip me because I came all the way back to rescue Yunxiang, what else could you do for it.

Seeing the puzzled expression on the grandson's face, Zheng Shanyuan knew that he must not know again. He was really angry at the moment. This grandson was the one he was most optimistic about in the direct line, and because of Qingque's relationship, he had feelings for him. Chongwang, he never expected that this kid would make mistakes one after another, which made him really have the idea of ​​whether he should change his mind.

"Grandfather, my grandson's mind is so muddled that he can't think clearly, so there is something wrong with my grandson. I hope my grandfather can tell my grandson directly, and my grandson will definitely change." Zheng Ruyi looked at his grandfather who was gradually gathering anger. Said in a very sincere and admitting tone.

He also knew that now that he couldn't find his way at all, his grandfather would be angry no matter what, so it would be better to honestly show that he was a fool and hope that his grandfather would give him direct guidance.

Zheng Renli, who had been on the sidelines for a long time, said at this time: "Yes, father, Ruyi is inexperienced after all, and he should point out and correct what he has done wrong at this time, so as to improve his memory."

After being reminded by Zheng Renli, Zheng Shanyuan remembered that this grandson was just a fledgling, and it was understandable that he was lacking in handling things. He sighed and said, "Ruyi, you left Qingque in a hurry. In order to come back to save Cui Yunxiang, you have thought about it." What would Qingque think?"

Zheng Renli's pupils shrank slightly, he understood what his father was really worried about, and understood the root cause of why his father was so angry just now.

Simply put, this is a matter of 'emphasis'.

In the matter of Cui Yunxiang's arrest, Ruyi chose to rescue Yunxiang, and left at the same time that Jiang Chengxiao hadn't finished handling the Qingzhou incident.The result of doing this is that this will make the son think that the Zheng family values ​​the Cui family more than the Wangfu, and will not hesitate to return to Beijing as soon as possible in order to save a person who is destined to die for treason.

Although this is a very small matter, it will inevitably make Shizi feel bad and give Shizi a hint.That is, the Zheng family is closer to Cui Yunxiang than to Jiang Chengxiao.If something happens in the future, this grudge will become bigger, and it will be difficult to guarantee that the son will not alienate the Zheng family.

And Jiang Chengxiao alienated the Zheng family, which his father didn't want to see.

Zheng Ruyi's face changed for a while, and then she silently lowered her head.He also wanted to understand that what he did would make Qing Que think that he paid more attention to getting close to Cui Yunxiang.

"Grandson knows his mistake. When Qingque comes back, I will come to make amends in person." Zheng Ruyi said bitterly.

"I know, because Cui Yunxiang is about to marry your younger sister, you think in your heart that Cui Yunxiang is closer to you, but on the contrary, you put him in the position of the unrelated eldest son."

Zheng Shanyuan said: "It's because Qingque has seen through this point that he let you come back and didn't stop you. It's even possible that he is testing who you want to trust more. You have shown with your actions that you trust Cui Yunxiang more. That traitor, you would rather leave Qingque and come back first."

"You really disappointed me. When you left, you said that if someone in the Cui family in Qinghe really disregarded the laws of the country, you must draw a clear line with them, lest they bring disaster to the Zheng family, but when you meet Cui Yunxiang, you forget this. "

Standing up slowly, Zheng Shanyuan looked at the spiritual tablet in the ancestral hall, "I'm afraid that what you did this time may have left a gap in Qingque's heart."

"Grandson is willing to sincerely apologize to Qingque." Zheng Ruyi said bitterly.

Regarding this, Zheng Shanyuan did not reply to him.He just said a little tiredly: "Go down and rest first, and we'll talk about the rest later."

Hearing this, even though Zheng Ruyi was reluctant, she obediently bowed to Zheng Renli's eyes, and walked out slowly step by step.

Zheng Shanyuan and Zheng Renli were left in the small ancestral hall, and they were a little silent.After an unknown amount of time, Zheng Shanyuan said: "Now that Cui Qi is caught, if the Cui family does not agree to His Majesty's digging the canal, Cui Shili's position as servant of the household department will definitely not be kept."

"But father, if Cui Shili agrees to His Majesty's digging of the canal, the Left Minister Gao Xun and Lu Huaishen will not agree either."

"What does that matter? If His Majesty really wants to investigate this matter, can the Cui family of Qinghe escape?" Zheng Shanyuan sneered and said, "I thought that as long as Pei Ju and I didn't express our views on this matter, Gao Xun and others If people continue to stand in a stalemate with His Majesty, the matter of the canal will continue to be postponed. Now that the Cui family has problems, and the Lu family is ignorant, will Lu Huaishen still be able to keep his position as Minister of the Household Department?"

Zheng Renli was silent, and his whole body was affected by the slightest influence. The sudden arrest of Cui Qi in the Cui family affected the whole situation.

"Also, after this incident, I understand that the Lu family and the Cui family all fell for Gao Xun, even the crown prince." Zheng Shanyuan squinted his eyes with an unknown brilliance.

He is not a fool. Two of the Cui family died during the sacrificial ceremony. When the position of minister of the Ministry of Industry was vacant, Tang Bi, the prefect of Pingyuan recommended by Gao Xun, was from the Lu family. In addition, he strongly opposed the digging of the canal this time.These three families and some of the kittens below showed their feet.

"If that's the case, what should we do?" Zheng Renli worried: "Does Your Majesty think that we are also secretly supporting the prince?"

Hearing this, Zheng Shanyuan shook his head, "Don't worry, we didn't join the Lu family and the Cui family in opposing His Majesty's canal construction, and His Majesty will be able to see that we disagree with the Lu and Cui family's intentions."

"What about the Pei family?"

"The Pei family?" Zheng Shanyuan sneered, "Don't worry about anyone, Ren Li, let me tell you, that old guy Pei Ju's vision and cunning are beyond your imagination. This person dared to be alone in the Western Regions more than ten years ago It is clear that this person is resourceful. At that time, I knew that this person would definitely become the head of the Pei family, and as expected, he really became the head of the family."

"This person's skin is far thicker than the city walls of Chang'an, and he actually got 'heat stroke' in front of more than a dozen important officials in the imperial study. From this point, you can see how shameless this person is."

It's no wonder that Zheng Shanyuan was so upset. He used the strategy of heat stroke very comfortably, but he found out that Pei Ju also used this strategy, which made him very uncomfortable.It’s okay for one person to suffer from heat stroke, but when two of you suffer from heat stroke, and you are asking important opinions in front of the emperor, everyone can see that you are pretending on purpose!

"Father, I don't understand a little bit. The construction of the canal is such a huge project, using millions of people. Your Majesty will not only draw from one or two counties, why...why?" Zheng Renli did not continue, but the meaning Zheng Shanyuan had already I understand.

"You want to say why only our Shandong gentry objected, but the Guanzhong nobles and southern wealthy families did not object. Is that what you mean?"

"Yes."

"It's very simple. The nobles in Guanzhong don't want to stand up and openly resist His Majesty now. The reason why the nobles in the south don't object is because His Majesty plans to transfer millions of civilians from Hebei, Shandong and other places. That's why Gao Xun and others fiercely opposed it. The indifferent relations of the southern wealthy families."

Hearing this, Zheng Renli no longer had any doubts.The Gao family, the Lu family, and the Qinghe Cui family were all within the scope of recruiting civilian husbands. No wonder they desperately opposed it. This may have a heart of worrying about the country and the people, but it definitely contains selfishness.

"Your Majesty, aren't you afraid of putting us all in danger?" Zheng Renli's face was gloomy. Now it's the Bohai Gao clan, Fanyang Lu clan, Qinghe Cui clan, maybe in the future it will be the Xingyang Zheng clan and Wenxi Pei clan. possible.

Zheng Shanyuan touched the dust on the altar and rubbed it lightly, "So, now you know why I value Qingque so much. Sooner or later, we will be the next Qinghe Cui."

Zheng Renli's face changed drastically, but he didn't know how to speak. After all, the emperor had taught the nobles in Guanzhong a lesson. Could they, the Shandong gentry, escape.

"Father, are you really so sure that Qingque can succeed?"

Zheng Shanyuan remained silent for a while, and immediately said: "This is not a top priority, we still have time to verify this."

At this moment, a servant walked outside the small ancestral hall and told Zheng Shanyuan, "My lord, Mr. Cui Shili, the household servant, is here."
