Chapter 266 is indispensableChapter 267 Salt and iron

Just after Ping Zhishou said those words, Zixuan suddenly raised her head to look at the queen and the emperor. Although she couldn't see anything on their faces, she had a strong feeling: the emperor wanted to Waiting seems to be the words of Tomohisa Hira.She withdrew her gaze and looked at the Empress Dowager, and saw that the eyes of this always ignorant person now had a flash of light, and she lowered her head again, but her heart felt awe-inspiring.

It was too late for Xiao Qian to be ill, and he actually left the hall at this time to avoid the affairs of the hall, that is, to avoid the next trouble for the Xiao family; at this time, Ping Zhishou voluntarily asked to withdraw his marriage, and he did not hesitate to offend the emperor. The queen mother is showing her loyalty to the emperor for safety.

The emperor punished Ding Yang and Wen Juying so severely just now, saying that he was venting his anger for Zixuan, or that he used Zixuan to play a chicken-killing scene. Naturally, the four of the four aristocratic families were jumping up and down if they were to be frightened. Too cheerful four big monkeys.They suggested to the emperor that they wanted to punish Zixuan, and since the queen mother and the empress dowager didn't like Zixuan, the emperor agreed to this matter—although he didn't directly order Zixuan, at least he gave it to her. The Ding family, the Wen family, and the four great aristocratic families hoped for it.

Prince Jin's face was still as cold as ice, and Shui Muxia was still idly leaning on Prince Jin's side, she had no intention of speaking to the current situation of the four great families, including what would happen to the Xiao family, as if he didn't want to care about it.

The Empress Dowager looked at Ping Zhishou: "Your Ping family is going to retire? Two years." She glanced at Prince Jin and lowered her eyelids: "It's the same for her to go to Prince Jin's residence to worship Buddha for two years." There was no absolute in her words. Not agreeing to the intention of withdrawing from the marriage, the anger is just right; how many people in this world dare to withdraw from the royal marriage?If Ping Zhishou didn't feel that something bad happened, he wouldn't say anything about resigning.

Ping Zhishou swallowed his saliva: "The eminent monk said that the younger sister should practice at home as a girl for two years, so I have the courage to tell the empress dowager." It's wind and water, and their Ping family almost lives on the nose of the Xiao family. If this continues, how can there be any four great families? !Being able to get married with Prince Jin, their Ping family will have the possibility to sit on an equal footing with the Xiao family, at least it can revive the Ping family's prestige.

But today, I saw the emperor sent Ding Yang and Wen Juying away with a few words. You must know that these two people are very close to the emperor: Ding Yang is the emperor's confidant, and they grew up together with a very close relationship. They are not other attendants. People can be compared; it is said that Ding Yang is favored for another reason, that is, he often does some "things" for the emperor.And that Wen Juying is the eldest brother of Concubine Xiangui, and he is also a very popular figure in the court. The pillow wind is really not for nothing, but it is not for nothing now.

What does he have at home?In the palace, the concubines can blow pillows for them, and in the court, there are also people who become the emperor's confidants or confidantes, or capable officials; but their Ping family still has a famous name, which is known to everyone in the world. One of the big aristocratic families, as the saying goes, is a big tree attracting wind, how can he bet on the future of the Ping family?The marriage of Prince Jin can only be abandoned. To revive the prestige of the family and restore the previous situation of making promises to hundreds of people in the court, you can think of other ways.

The Empress Dowager pondered for a while when she heard the words: "So that's the case." She sighed softly: "God bless, Ai's family is tired, and I helped Ai's family back to the palace. Prince Jin's marriage is naturally decided by Prince Jin—two years, In fact, it's not too long." After she finished speaking, she glanced at Prince Jin, just to let him answer the matter by himself.

Two years, wait.In the past, Prince Jin seldom disobeyed her. At this time, it is inconvenient for her to speak directly, so of course Prince Jin should speak, and there is another thing that can be used at this time: "Prince Jin, you are not too young to marry the concubine. You can also welcome a side concubine or take a concubine; how can you be always surrounded by men?" After she finished speaking, she glanced at Shui Muxia, at this time she used Shui Muxia's words to arrest Prince Jin's army.

It's not that she wants to force Prince Jin to get married, but that Prince Jin has to get married. As Prince Jin's aunt, how can she let him fool around with men?So now she is only worried about Prince Jin, rather than insisting that the Ping family and Prince Jin get married.It really is a lot of painstaking efforts and kindness can be seen every day.

Shui Muxia looked at the Empress Dowager and said with a smile: "Empress Dowager, since Prince Jin is in charge of the marriage, the prince will of course do a good job, you can rest assured." He didn't care what the Empress Dowager's words implied, anyway No one will make it clear, as long as it is finalized that the Empress Dowager will hand over the marriage to Prince Jin to decide.

Prince Jin looked at Ping Zhishou more simply: "Retire." He doesn't like to talk too much, and there is no need to talk about this kind of thing. Anyway, he will not marry the daughter of Ping's parents. No matter what the idea is, of course, we must take the opportunity to return the marriage, and never get involved with the Heping family again.

The Empress Dowager said so many things, she just wanted to force Prince Jin to agree to the Ping family's marriage, and then she could appoint a side concubine or send a concubine to Prince Jin; Diao Qianjin treated most of her as nonsense, and only agreed that "the marriage is up to Prince Jin himself", which made her a little annoyed that her plans had failed.

"Men should marry when they are older, and girls should be married if they are older." The Empress Dowager looked at Prince Jin: "I think the Empress Dowager also wants you to have a family as soon as possible, and she can see her grandson sooner. There are three queens who are unfilial. Prince Jin, you can't be too self-willed." She glanced at Shui Muxia: "You friends are just friends, the things in his palace and his life are always missing, so someone has to take care of them." This is a warning.

When it comes to the empress dowager, it is natural to threaten the prince Jin with his biological mother: there is only one empress dowager who stays in the palace to accompany the empress dowager, and the others are either living with their sons or have already left. The afterlife was repaired in the nunnery.

Shui Muxia didn't let Prince Jin speak, and smiled first: "We are more than just friends, the prince's mansion is my home, if there is anything busy, as long as the prince asks, I will naturally do it for him." He After finishing speaking, she lowered her head and exhaled like blue: "Do you think so, my lord?" The soft voice made Zixuan immediately get goosebumps all over her body.

Prince Jin glared at Shui Muxia, but he didn't speak; because his biological mother involved in the matter had no direct conflict with the Empress Dowager, otherwise the person who was wronged in the end would be his biological mother.After seeing Shui Muxia winking at him, he immediately wanted to slap Fei Shui Muxia with his palm, but his heart moved and he just sat still and let Shui Muxia mess around beside him.

Anyway, Shui Muxia is also a master with no shape, as for the reputation - what is that?He didn't care. If Shui Muxia cared, he wouldn't be so deviant and regard ethics as nothing these years.

The Empress Dowager didn't think that after she warned Shui Muxia, Shui Muxia would openly "flirt" with Prince Jin in front of her, and immediately lowered her face: "Muxia, you should also be of marriageable age, sorry family..." She wanted to say that I will give you a marriage if I am sorry for your family, and you will marry the third girl from the Sima family someday, but she almost didn't catch her breath before she finished speaking.

Shui Muxia lazily said: "What's the rush to get married, I don't have to be the one to carry on the family line; right now, it's just right for me and Prince Jin's brother to be happy and happy."

Ever since Ping Zhishou was about to retire, the emperor had never spoken again, sitting there drinking tea, as if the matter in front of him was closed to him; It's a royal marriage, so he doesn't need to worry about it.

Of course, it is even more impossible for the empress to talk too much. She is serving the empress dowager with fruits. One eats deliciously and the other peels them carefully. The two of them are also extremely busy; they turn a deaf ear to Prince Jin's marriage.

Sima Feng's eyeballs rolled a few times, and finally he remained silent: the matter has nothing to do with himself, of course he should be held high; now it is about the marriage of Prince Jin and Heping's family, but it has nothing to do with his Sima family, and he doesn't want to be dragged Go into the water.Right now, what he was thinking about was the emperor's intention.

Zixuan looked at Shui Muxia, wanted to laugh but was embarrassed to laugh, but Qian Tianyou didn't say a word since he entered the palace, and moved a few steps when the Empress Dowager called him, but he was honest and quiet as if he had changed a People; this made Zixuan a little worried, wondering if Qian Tianyou was injured on the head, or something happened.

She was thinking about Shui Muxia and Prince Jin's purpose of angering the Empress Dowager by doing this: it is a big scandal for the royal family to cut off their sleeves, and Prince Jin's crime is not small; It will be thrown away, but Shui Muxia will not harm Prince Jin, and Prince Jin is not so obedient and willing to be harmed by others.

The Empress Dowager was already angry: "What do you look like?"

Shui Muxia picked up Prince Jin's hand and played with it: "Empress Dowager, what do you mean?"

"What are you doing?" The Empress Dowager couldn't believe it, she was trembling with anger: "Emperor, you saw it, and you don't care about it?"

Shui Muxia hooked Prince Jin's middle finger with her finger: "Gogou your finger."

The Empress Dowager hit him with a cane, causing Shui Muxia and Prince Jin to separate: "You are not allowed to meet each other in the future!" She really couldn't bear to see such a scandal.Although she hated Prince Jin very much, he was actually a royal, so she still couldn't let people spread such things.

Prince Jin raised his eyebrows slightly: "No. There are some things that my minister cannot do without him." There are indeed many things that Shui Muxia needs to do, but at this moment, these words fell into the ears of everyone, even if his voice was cold There is no temperature, but it also makes people hear such a hint of warmth.

Shui Muxia immediately stuck to the edge of Prince Jin's chair again: "That's right, the grass-roots must never miss the prince." The same words came from his mouth, and compared with Prince Jin, they can make people's imagination run wild.

Chapter 267 Salt and Iron

The Empress Dowager saw the complexion of Shui Muxia and Prince Jin changed a few times, and let out a long breath: "You think this way, you can make Aijia fulfill your wishes in a fit of anger, and let you mess around Not getting married? When the male college is getting married, you two are not too young. If you don’t get married again, your parents will always worry about it, and how can you bear it?" At the juncture of her rage, she suddenly thought about it and forcefully took a breath of air. Living.

Zixuan felt a little pity, glanced at the emperor and found pity flashed in his eyes, while Prince Jin and Shui Muxia were still the same, but there was no change in expression: one was still cold, the other was still smiling.

Prince Jin suddenly took a look at Shui Muxia, then stood up and said to him, "Queen Mother, I have a lot of relatives, so I'd like to ask the emperor to be the county head of Fuguo; besides, the Dayang barbarians are still in the city. Besides, this matter can't be delayed for too long, lest people really turn back to Dayangman, isn't it because of enmity with Dayangman?"

The Empress Dowager looked at Prince Jin: "I don't understand the country's major affairs, and the emperor is the one who decides." She seemed to have forgotten that she said she was going to leave, and sat back slowly.

The emperor had no choice but to speak: "The Ping family, are you really going to retire?"

Ping Zhishou immediately kowtowed: "Yes. Please forgive the crime of the emperor, it is really a last resort." Does he want to resign the marriage?God knows how the emperor would punish the Ping family if they insisted on making this marriage.

The emperor looked at Prince Jin again: "Uncle Emperor?"

"Retire." Prince Jin never promised this marriage.

The emperor nodded: "Okay, since both of you and both men and women have the same meaning, let's stop this marriage; from now on, marriage between men and women will be irrelevant."

Zhishou Ping finally breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had escaped a catastrophe, and the Ping family had also escaped a catastrophe.

"Ping Zhishou, from the border, to Dongtong, and then to the capital, why did your Ping family make trouble for the county magistrate of Fuguo one after another? Especially Ping Bowen, why did you falsely convey my will—he is so courageous! When did I say Fuguo? The county master of the country is a spy of the barbarians, when did he tell him to capture the children of the barbarian king of Dayang and put them in the prison? Such a bold and reckless act, your Ping family is trying to rebel?!" The emperor did not let Ping Zhishou go, and the marriage Retired, but the guilt is the same, and the Heike family will not be less.

Zixuan immediately saluted: "Thank you, the emperor, for making decisions for your ministers and concubines. The emperor is really a wise king who is rare in a thousand generations." Don't forget to sing the praises, and praise the emperor so that he can continue to work hard and not let anyone go today.

Sima Feng's face changed slightly, he looked at the emperor in disbelief, and the most terrifying thought came to his mind: Could it be that the emperor wants to attack the four great families?The words are less, but after the ancestors and emperors of the four great families, they are not as good as before. Why can't they accommodate the four great families.

Ping Zhishou broke out in a cold sweat, the crime of embarrassing the county magistrate of Fuguo can be big or small, no matter how big it is, so what?Ping Bowen dismissed from office, he Ping Zhishou dismissed from office?The lack of words is a charge of falsely preaching the imperial decree, and their Ping family will be in great trouble. This is not something that can be settled after dismissal. Didn’t you listen to the emperor’s question—are you trying to plot rebellion?

"I'm terrified, I don't dare, I can show my loyalty to the emperor and the court..." He was talking nonsense and didn't know how to tell the difference, his sense of propriety had already been messed up.

The emperor also ignored him: "Pass down the decree, arrest Ping Bowen and hand it over to the three divisions for interrogation!" He actually sent the Ping family members to the prison in this way. Will the people in the sky reunite in the dungeon?

Although Zixuan wanted to vent her anger, and hoped that she could stand up in the Tang Dynasty, she never thought of raiding other people's homes or destroying their families; after hearing the emperor's order, she felt cold and went straight to the back of the house. On his back, he lowered his head slightly to stop looking at the emperor's face.However, she didn't have the desire to intercede for the Heike family. How can I say that the fate of the Heike family today was brought about by the Heike family, without her the Heike family would not be far from being destroyed.

Ping Zhishou was so frightened that his whole body trembled non-stop, and he couldn't speak except for kowtowing: Ping family, is this the end?When he entered the palace, his father even patted him on the shoulder and said that he and several other families would definitely convict the county magistrate of Fuguo as a felony, and even if she did not die, she would be sent to heaven prison and exiled!In the future, with the help of Prince Jin, their Ping family will definitely become the second Xiao family.But right now, he felt like a frightened rabbit in the cold and snow, unable to even use the strength to run.

The emperor looked at him and said softly: "Get up, I know that the matter of the false imperial decree is related to you." He never mentioned the matter of treason, completely forgetting what he said just now. up.

Ping Zhishou only knew how to respond, and what the emperor said he would respond to, and when he stood aside, his mind was a mess, and even he himself didn't know what he was thinking.

Sima Feng's hands and feet became cold and numb. Seeing the emperor looking over, he immediately knelt down on the ground and said, "I know my mistake, please forgive me." Thoughts, he can't just ask for a few words.

The emperor snorted: "You also know that you are wrong? I really don't know that your Sima family is also wrong, so let's hear it." But he didn't want to hear what Sima Feng had to say, so he glared at Xi Zhuoming, the eldest son of Xi's family: "Your Xi family is wrong. Do you have anything to say?"

Xi Zhuoming stepped forward to salute. Although he came in with everyone, he was the only one who had never spoken in the hall: "Return to the emperor, my father already knew what my uncle did wrong, so I asked my uncle to apologize; my uncle thinks that I Not enough to be an official, but to take over as a shepherd, so I have resigned and returned to my hometown to forgive my own faults." After speaking, he took out the notebook from his sleeve and presented it: "Please look at it, Your Majesty."

In this way, Governor Xi's fault would not affect the Xi family too much, this move was obviously beyond everyone's expectations, even Prince Jin and Shui Muxia looked at each other.

The emperor took it and glanced at it twice: "It's still light for him to be an official." It seems that the anger is still lingering.

But Xi Zhuoming kowtowed and replied unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, my father has already broken my uncle's legs, now I should plead guilty outside the palace gate." They really did enough.

Zixuan's back tightened suddenly, she glanced at Xi Zhuoming very uncomfortable, and thought of Xi Rong who asked to withdraw from the marriage when they first met: She is indeed a girl from the Xi family, but she is different from girls from other families. You can also know the strengths and weaknesses of the old man of the Xi family.

The emperor looked at Xi Zhuoming for a long time before saying: "Get up. I will make a decree later. Although your uncle did something wrong, he was also a person who made contributions to the court. Please tell your father not to blame him too much."

Zixuan guessed that Xi Zhuoming would definitely bring up the matter of retiring, because this time is the best time, and the emperor has no objections; just like the Heing family, it is better to resign the marriage.But to her surprise, Xi Zhuoming kowtowed to thank En and got up without mentioning his marriage with the Qian family.

Thinking of Governor Xi's scolding of Xi Rong, Zi Xuan glanced at Xi Zhuoming, thinking that Xi Rong's elder brother is not as smart as Xi Rong, and their brothers and sisters have different thoughts.

The emperor looked at Sima Feng and lowered his face again: "Aren't you going to plead guilty to the county magistrate of Fuguo?"

Xi Zhuoming didn't need the emperor's scolding, so he and Sima Feng bowed to Zixuan to make amends; they were serious bowing down, because they were making apology on behalf of the elders in the family.

Zixuan accepted their salute, and then looked at the emperor: "Your Majesty, they originally wanted the life of the concubine? Accusing the concubine of colluding with foreigners, this crime is added to the crime, so it is not only the concubine who dies? If you kowtow a few heads, you will be fine." If it is worth it, can the concubine burn down the Xi family and the Sima family, and let the concubine kowtow to them when she turns around-not three kowtows, but thirty kowtows to them, it will be worth it. If it is the fault of the ministers and concubines, the ministers and concubines are willing to do the same."

She knew that the enmity between her and the four great families could not be solved, because it was not her fault, so the matter would not be revealed, and the four great families would not let her go, nor would they tolerate her.What's more, from the words of the Four Great Aristocratic Families and the Wen Family, they simply looked down on her origin and couldn't remember half of the Jiuli blood flowing through her.

So now when the emperor is willing to deal with people, how can she just let it go?No matter what you say, you must make the four great families unable to turn over, maybe she will have a good life.

The emperor was a little embarrassed when he heard the words, and thought for a while: "The county magistrate of Fuguo is right. It is abominable for you two to offend the magistrate so much. If you don't punish the magistrate, won't it encourage this trend? In the Tang Dynasty, we should be rewarded for our meritorious service. If there is a fault, you will be punished—the Sima family will hand over the iron to Prince Jin and the Ministry of Household; and the Xi family will hand over the salt to the Ministry of Household; if there is such a thing in the future, I will definitely not just punish you lightly .”

This really cannot be regarded as a small punishment. The fact that Sima and the Xi family became the four great families is related to the salt and iron in their hands: of course it is not all the salt and iron in Shangtang—the salt of the Xi family is not sea salt, but it is the same. Let the Xi family be rich until now; while the iron of the Sima family is only in the north of Shangtang, it was an agreement between their ancestors and the founding emperor.

However, can Sima Feng bring back what was written in black and white at this time and place?Unless he wanted to send the entire Sima family to the guillotine.So both of them kowtowed silently to thank the emperor, and neither of them made a further argument to the emperor, but when the eyes of the two of them swept over Zixuan, a cold chill flashed across them.

None of the people who went against Zixuan or insulted Zixuan had a good end; those who lost their positions were considered minor, and those who implicated the family would be miserable.For example, the Sima family and the Xi family, how long can they maintain the names of the four great families?Without salt and iron, I believe the day when their two families will fall is not far away.

The only one that was not implicated was the Xiao family, but no one was puzzled: the Taihuang was sitting here, and the Xiao family was naturally stable, and there would be nothing wrong with it.

The emperor looked at Zixuan and smiled: "Come on, tell me about Jiuli and the Dayang barbarians." He wanted Zixuan to invite Huowu brothers and sisters back.

Shui Muxia sighed and replied first: "Speaking of Jiuli and the Dayang barbarians, first of all, it's a long way; I have worn out several pairs of shoes after walking such a long distance, Your Majesty." Winks—what should be punished should be punished, but what should be rewarded should also be rewarded?I'm sorry if you don't reward less words, they have no choice but to knock the emperor off.
