Your Highness, the princess is going to paint your portrait

Chapter 210
"Tomorrow? I have something to do at home tomorrow. I'm afraid I won't be able to come over. By the way, it will be like this for the next five days."

"What? You want to take leave too?"

Jing Chun wondered, "Also? Who else?"

"Lord Song, Henan is in a drought. His Majesty set up an altar to pray for rain. Officials of all sizes in the capital have to go there. Lord Song is naturally unavoidable."

Jing Chun was stunned for a while, then forced a smile and said, "Gong Zhang, are you kidding me?"

"Are you kidding me? Mr. Song's trip will last for three to five days. These three to five days can be regarded as my leisure time. Why should I joke about my leisure time?"

What a big trap!
Jing Chun frowned, this difficult question could make Jing Chun faint on the spot.

Jing Chun finally understood that what should come is still coming, even if Jiang Hesheng escaped, how should Song Yiwen pass this one?
Jing Chun sighed slightly, and didn't know what to say for a while, "That Zhang Gong, I'll take care of myself, goodbye..."

"Let's go now? Let's talk for a while?"

Jing Chun waved his hands feebly, and his steps became even more difficult, "I don't want to talk anymore, I have to ask Mr. Song for leave."

……

The door of Song Yiwen's study.

Jing Chun hesitated for a long time, watching the brilliance of afterglow being eroded by the darkness bit by bit...

She thought that she might as well explain it to Song Yiwen, saying that she was Princess Li, but she was also Jing Chun who chose to be self-reliant because she was dissatisfied with the constraints of marriage.

But such remarks are as funny as trying to catch the moon in the water. Song Yiwen may sigh with emotion at Jing Chun's brave choice, but he will also look at Jing Chun's behavior strangely due to the limitations of the times.

She is not afraid of strange eyes, she will know that she is doing a daunting or brave thing.

However, if that gaze is from Jingzhao Mansion...

Jing Chun tried his best to calm himself down, and after taking a deep breath, he knocked on Song Yiwen's study, "My lord, it's me, Jing Chun."

"come in."

The door creaked, and the sound was like walking on a single-plank bridge that was crumbling in the weather.

When Song Yiwen saw Jing Chun come in, he picked the most important question and put down the case file in his hand, "His Royal Highness Prince Yu came to see you today."

Jing Chun lowered his head slightly, "I heard."

Song Yiwen did not choose to participate in the conflict between Jing Chun and Jiang Hesheng in the past, nor asked the reason for it, but asked slowly: "Is it something you can solve by yourself?"

Song Yiwen continued to reply: "If it's something you can solve by yourself, I don't have to intervene, but if it's something you can't solve, you can tell me what difficulties you have."

Jing Chun was quiet for a long time, this feeling of warmth and tranquility was like a thin stream of water flowing through her heart, she suddenly felt as if she had nothing to be proud of, in fact, her self-righteous thinking might not be worth it at all in front of this era carry.

Because her thoughts and concepts are completely independent. To put it more clearly, her ideas have not been practiced by her, nor have she passed the demonstration of this era, but they have been transported by air from another time and space, without support and support. , there is no trace to follow, this is a fetus with a congenital deformity, what will she use to go her own way?
At that moment, Jing Chun felt a sense of loneliness from the bottom of her heart...

loneliness……

Jing Chun took a deep breath, and bowed to Song Yiwen respectfully, even though she was full of worries, she still pretended to be calm, "Thank you sir, I can handle this matter myself."

Even Mr. Song can't do anything, maybe Wei Anuo's business is to save her life.

"really?"

Song Yi asked how many cases he had tried, and he was no less observant than Jing Chun, so how could he not see this kind of forceful words?
Jing Chun nodded, and said with a slight smile, "Of course it's true, the entanglement between me and His Royal Highness Yu Wang is nothing more than a trivial matter."

Song Yiwen didn't ask too much and just said: "It's just a small thing. For those princes and princes, just say something nice to them and give them a step down. Naturally, they won't embarrass you. These things They are all small paths in the officialdom..."

Jing Chun nodded. Song Yiwen was able to hang out in the officialdom for such a long time, and he could still guarantee the justice in his heart. Naturally, he had his own tact and persistence.

"I know."

But after thinking about it, Song Yiwen was still a little worried, and asked again: "Is it really okay? His Highness Prince Yu is not an easy person to deal with."

"It's all right," Jing Chun still didn't say anything, and replied with an excuse: "It's just that there was some misunderstanding with His Royal Highness Yu Wang, so it's good to explain it clearly. If there is really any difficulty, you should have come to me a long time ago, so why bother to pay back?" Waiting for me at Jingzhao Mansion?"

After hearing this, Song Yiwen finally believed Jing Chun's words. He seemed to think that Jing Chun's words made some sense, "It's just a misunderstanding."

"However, there is one thing I don't understand."

"What's the matter?"

"My lord... Why can my lord go to try Han Yuyan's case, but persuade Wei Anuo not to resist? Is it only because Miss Anuo is a slave?"

Song Yiwen nodded thoughtfully, "Jing Chun, you are half right, Wei Anuo's matter seems to be due to Wei Anuo, and she is also a victim, suing Ren Cong should be regarded as a It's a normal thing, but she is a slave, but she turned the whole case in a favorable direction to Ren Cong."

"I understand the truth, what about the other half?"

Song Yiwen let out a long sigh, "The other half is because there is no such precedent in the case file."

"What do you mean?"

Song Yiwen patted the file on the table, "I told you that there is no file in Yanguo where a slave has ever sued his master. The case of Wei Anuo has set a precedent..."

Jing Chun pondered deeply and replied: "I can see that Wei Anuo's victory in this case was entirely due to His Royal Highness Prince Yu and Zheng Cuier. If they hadn't added Ren Cong's charges, it would have been difficult for Ren Cong to succeed. Sin... But that’s why I don’t understand, isn’t it a good thing for slaves to sue their masters? That’s their courage.”

Song Yiwen shook his head, and said deeply: "Jing Chun, this is not a Datong society. People are not equal. The supremacy of imperial power is what our courtiers abide by. Life and death are the principles of this world. Laws are important, even There is a saying that "the son of heaven breaks the law and the common people are the same crime", but to say something disrespectful, can we judge the son of heaven for breaking the law? No, the son of heaven is the judge. Who can judge the son of heaven? The law is like no word in front of the son of heaven. Documents, although you know what they mean, but there is no basis, how can the law be greater than the power?"

Jing Chun was stunned. How could she forget that in this society, the rule of man is greater than the rule of law.

She once told Wei Anuo that the only thing that could save Wei Anuo was the law, and she even believed that she had to believe in the law, but now she forgot that what she experienced was the society that Song Yiwen said.

Jing Chun was a little reconciled, trying to find the idea he insisted on, "Then what is the Dharma? What am I waiting for?"

Song Yiwen said indifferently: "I am a law-abiding person, and it is difficult for me to judge the superiors. I have dedicated myself to serving the people, and I have a clear conscience."

Jing Chun listened quietly, the words were not long, but they had profound meanings. She felt dizzy for a while, and she silently repeated "a clear conscience". My heart is worthy of my perseverance...

Heart……

A word with such a deep meaning is as huge as an iceberg...

Song Yiwen looked at Jing Chun's confused expression and tried to comfort him: "Do you still remember what you said when the token was handed over to you?"

"Remember," Jing Chun replied, "Keep the heart of the public and contribute to the people, keep the heart upright and upright, keep the original heart and think about the job, and be loyal to this person and pursue his administration."

"Everything is exactly the word 'heart', which lies in your original intention."

It was as if everything had returned to Jing Chun's original thoughts. She seemed to understand the youthful spirit that Master Tang once praised, and she also seemed to understand the hardships that Capt. Li said.

Jing Chun was instantly relieved, and smiled slightly, "Jing Chun has been taught."
