Hou Fu Di Daughter-in-Law

Chapter 11
When Shen Yan was a prince, he didn't have a mother and concubine with a strong background, and he didn't show his talent too early, so he was inconspicuous among a group of princes.

Yao Lixing was not optimistic about Shen Yan at that time, seeing the words and deeds of the new emperor, and seeing through Shen Yan's ridiculous disguise, Yao Shangshu would never bow his head to please the emperor.

"A hard-headed civil servant is easy to deal with. His subordinates humiliated Yao Shangshu severely, making him lose the elegance of a scholar. Now he is like an old farmer in the country. The busy farming work and the hot sun make him haggard. Guarantee that Yao Shangshu stands in front of the emperor, and the emperor recognizes him. No idea who he is."

Jiang Chenqi mentioned the methods used to torture the Yao family for a while, using force to frighten a group of people and force them to make changes.

Thinking of Xu Zhen's report, Shen Yan coughed unnaturally, but he didn't expect Commander Jiang to use dirty tricks to torture people, "Yao Shangshu is a veteran of the two dynasties after all, he made contributions to the country, you shouldn't try to torture people. You pay attention to your words in the court, how can you make the old censor faint in front of civil and military officials."

While criticizing Commander Jiang for being ignorant and quick to speak, Shen Yan had no intention of punishing Jiang Chenqi at all.

After Yao Shangshu was taken away by the imperial guards, he saw Yao Lixing's terrifying influence.It is understandable that civil servants pleaded for Yao Shangshu, but there are military generals who speak for Yao Shangshu.

There are also scholars who came from other places to help Yao Shangshu move around, which shows that Yao Shangshu has a wide network of contacts and a high status.Why didn't such a respected old minister support him when he seized the throne.

Seeing through the emperor's careful thinking, Jiang Chenqi said ruthlessly, "The emperor must not be soft-hearted towards Yao Shangshu. You are the king of a country and an old minister. Why don't you give face. The position of household secretary is very important, and Yao Shangshu will not bow his head. There's no need to stay. Why don't you get some poison and send Yao Shangshu back to the west as soon as possible, without Yao Shangshu, the Yao family will naturally lose."

Jiang Chenqi, who gave the proposal, wanted to test the emperor and wanted to know the emperor's arrangement for Yao Shangshu.After Shen Yan became the emperor, the majesty of the emperor became more and more serious, and she didn't understand Shen Yan more and more.

There is no need to let Yao Lixing go to the west. Those scholars have opinions after his death, and the officials will also feel jealous.After carefully weighing the pros and cons, Shen Yan decided to let Yao Shangshu live.

"Yao Lixing didn't make a big mistake, it's just that he didn't want to be used by me, so he had to suppress it. Since he refuses to bow his head, he will send him back to his hometown after a while."

The emperor also knew that Yao Lixing was innocent, since Yao Shangshu was innocent, why not order Yao Shangshu to be cleared of his crimes, let Yao Shangshu return home and let the Yao family go.

Seeing Shen Yan's vengeful side, Jiang Chenqi felt wronged for Yao Shangshu.

When he seized the throne, the emperor was not outstanding and had no background, so no one would support him, shouldn't he?Now he has the power to retaliate against ministers who did not support him, and he does not have the broad-mindedness of a Mingjun.

Jiang Chenqi, who was sighing in her heart, bowed her head and left the imperial study room.There were footsteps behind him, and he turned to see Eunuch Zhou.

Zhou Ping was not afraid of Commander Jiang's cold face, and said with a smile: "I have nothing to do with you, I will accompany Commander Jiang to visit Yao Shangshu's family. I don't know if Yao Shangshu is well."

Yao Shangshu is upright and unyielding, he doesn't know how to deal with the head eunuch, the excuse made by the head eunuch is really bad.

Nodding slightly to signal Zhou Ping to follow, Jiang Chenqi's expression turned ugly, the emperor really didn't trust her.

Fortunately, when she went all the way to the dark, she was discovered by Baiwei who came to the capital to handle errands. Baiwei took her as his apprentice and told her what is good and what is evil.

Jiang Chenqi was unwilling to be eliminated by Shen Yan for not taking revenge for her family.Eagle Dog has his own thoughts and is unwilling to be imprisoned in an iron cage.

Sitting in the carriage with her eyes closed, Jiang Chenqi listened to Lin Yuan's reports and found useful information from them, "Ming Yinghou is obviously a great hero. If you return to the capital, you will not be able to survive if you don't pretend to be sick. Let our people secretly protect Lord Hou , Lord Hou has made countless military exploits and should not be persecuted by hypocrites."

Her father was the Great General of Zhen Guo, and Jiang Chenqi had a natural trust in generals in her heart, and she didn't want the outstanding general Xie Jinghuai to die without knowing why.

Lin Yuan knew that Ming Yinghou was pretending to be sick, and felt very sympathetic to Lord Hou, "It's understandable that the emperor is afraid of the emperor, since Lord Hou has no intention of spying on the throne, why not give the tiger charm to the emperor in exchange for the peace of the whole family."

What a naive idea. In history, those generals who handed in the tiger talisman after their meritorious deeds, when they met a wise emperor, exchanged the tiger talisman for the peace of the whole family.

It is unlucky for Ming Yinghou to meet the emperor with a small belly. Jiang Chenqi sneered and said: "Don't say such stupid things next time. It is only natural for Ming Yinghou to master the tiger talisman. If there is no tiger talisman, the whole family will die. The emperor is not a good person. Ren Jun is more ruthless than anyone else in private, if you are not ruthless, how will you take down your brother step by step and ascend to the throne."

Lin Yuan looked at his master in surprise, he didn't expect Jiang Chenqi to say such a thing.Both he and Yue Xuan knew that the master admired the emperor and was willing to bear the infamy for the emperor, such words had never been said before.

Jiang Chenqi, who didn't want to be a villain, took steward Zhou to the farm outside the city, pointed to a group of people working there, and said, "The Yao family are all working there, and the young children are not idle. I let the children of the farm drive them crazy." Playing. Catching fish, catching shrimp, and picking out bird eggs, they forget the rules in a short period of time, and they are no different from wild children in the country.”

A group of small children ran past. The leading child was wearing patched clothes and asked the children behind to follow. "Let's go to the pond to pick lotus leaves to play. Whoever runs faster will pick them first."

Several children of the Yao family ran very fast, and the younger one tripped over a stone and fell to the ground.The child stood up numbly, wiped his nose with his sleeve, got up and ran after the older child.

Zhou Ping struggled to recognize the Yao family child, and looked at Commander Jiang with a complicated expression.Children are the hope of the Yao family's prosperity. With Commander Jiang's arrangement, children who are crazy about playing are not willing to study hard.

Yao Sanlang passed by carrying a shoulder pole, and saw Jiang Chenqi cast a look of hatred, hating the emperor's lackeys for bringing Yao's family into trouble.

Unceremoniously giving Yao Sanlang a whip, Jiang Chenqi said cursingly: "Don't be lazy in your work, you are not the son of the Yao family who has a great reputation, if you want to blame it, blame your father for being unclear."

Watching the back of Yao Sanlang leaving, Zhou Ping found his voice for a long time, "The man just now is really Yao Sanlang, isn't he a farmer in the countryside, why is he sloppy and lacks the arrogance of an official's son."

Jiang Chenqi kept tossing Yao Sanlang a lot, thanks to Yao Sanlang's good physical foundation, he didn't fall down, "It's not Yao Sanlang who is, recently he picks shit every day, and his body is quite strong."

When Zhou Ping saw Yao Lixing lying on the ground, curled up into a ball and sleeping soundly, even though he had a different stand, he couldn't help but shed tears.

He knew that Yao Shangshu was a good official, because of his integrity, and because he didn't support the emperor, he was disliked.

Yao Shangshu lost his former glory, wore dirty coarse clothes, and seldom took a bath, emitting a sour smell from his body.The haggard face and knotted beard showed that Yao Lixing had suffered a lot these days.
