Daughter of aristocratic family

Chapter 462 Self-examination
Facts have proved that Zhao Wangshu's thoughts were correct, but at that time, due to the drag of his son, or in other words, Shangshu Li had to resign in order to save his son's life.

Prince Zuo's plan was successful, and the position of Minister of War was vacant. He took the opportunity to have someone recommend the Left Vice Minister of War to take over.

It was only then that Yun Hao and his companions learned that the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of War had secretly defected to Prince Zuo.

Yao Bin felt: "I didn't expect that Prince Zuo's power in the court has expanded to this extent."

"Prince Zuo is a man of deep thoughts and great ambitions. Now, he has used Minister Li's family affairs to make trouble and successfully excluded Minister Li. He also let his confidant take over as the Minister of War, which has greatly increased his power." Ling Ze rubbed his forehead, "After he has dealt with Minister Li, I'm afraid he will deal with the three of us next."

"We must act carefully and not let Prince Zuo succeed." Yao Bin said solemnly.

"Minister Li was dragged down by his son. Let's check ourselves. Is it a question of sacrificing one's own family for the sake of justice or covering up a crime?" Ling Ze glanced at the two of them and said, "You decide for yourselves."

Yao Bin and Yun Hao looked at each other, but did not swear that there was absolutely no problem with their family.

The three men dispersed and went back to their homes to check their own houses.

Among them, Yun Hao has the simplest one. None of his clansmen are officials, and they are far away from the capital. Even if they do something illegal, it will not have much impact on him.

However, Yun Hao still asked Rong Zhi to take a few people to his hometown and told him, "If anyone commits a crime under the name of the mansion, they will be sent to the government for severe punishment."

"Yes, sir." Rong performed the ceremony and left.

Zhao Wangshu, who was sitting next to him, then asked, "Yun Hao, what happened?"

"It's nothing, just self-examination." Yun Hao expressed Ling Ze's concerns.

"Then shouldn't we let my father and eldest brother investigate it as well? My eldest brother is fine, but my father is soft-hearted, and I'm worried that he might do something wrong." Zhao Wangshu asked.

Yun Hao hesitated for a moment and said, "I will accompany you back to your parents' home tomorrow to visit grandma and your parents-in-law."

"You're not taking a day off tomorrow, so how can you accompany me?" Zhao Wangshu asked him with a smile.

"I'll pick you up in the evening." Yun Hao also knew that he was busy with official duties and couldn't get away.

"Okay." Zhao Wangshu smiled and took his hand, "We should go and accompany our son."

They walked into the warm room hand in hand, only to see little Yunyu sitting on the kang with a picture book in his hand. The little fellow, who couldn't read, was reading very attentively.

The wet nurse who was guarding the kang stood up and saluted to the two of them.

"Go down." Zhao Wangshu asked the nurse to leave. "Yu'er, what are you looking at?"

"Mom." Xiao Yunyu threw the picture book in his hand and said, "Mom, hold me."

"You are a big boy now. Your mother can't hold you. Daddy will hold you." Yun Hao picked up his son first. "Why don't you shout when you see daddy?"

"Dad." Xiao Yunyu called out loudly, and then stretched out his hand in the direction of Zhao Wangshu, "Mom, hold me."

Yun Hao had no choice but to send his son into Zhao Wangshu's arms.

"Yu'er, mom will take you to your grandmother's house to play tomorrow, okay?" Zhao Wangshu sat on the kang and hugged the little guy.

"Brother Jun." Little Yunyu still remembers his little cousin who is more than a month older than him.

"Yes, let's go and play with Brother Jun, okay?" Zhao Wangshu asked with a smile.

Xiao Yunyu nodded, "Okay!"

The next day, Zhao Wangshu took his son back to her mother's home. As soon as Xiao Yunyu saw Zhao Jun, he ran over to hug him.

Zhao Jun also ran towards his cousin, and the brothers hugged each other affectionately.

"Little brother." Xiao Youyou also ran towards his two younger brothers, and the three of them hugged each other.

The three little ones were taken to the warm room by Song Yuanqu, while Zhao Wangshu talked to Zhao Cui and Zhao Li.

Zhao Wangshu first asked about their health, then said, "The situation in the court is tense. The Minister of War, Lord Li, was implicated by his son and had to retire early. Many officials are investigating themselves, so I was thinking, should I ask my father and eldest brother to investigate themselves as well, so as to avoid being caught by others."

After hearing this, Zhao Cui smiled and said, "Don't worry, your father is timid and your elder brother is old-fashioned. They won't do anything illegal." After a pause, "But we can't let our guard down. We have to teach them a lesson, so that they don't lose their original intentions after being officials for too long."

"Although we don't understand the affairs of the court, I know that something big is about to happen in the court now. Your eldest brother often stays in the study until late at night recently." Zhao Li said.

Zhao Wangshu thought for a moment and lowered his voice, "Your Majesty is not in good health now, but there is no crown prince. The officials in the court have their own thoughts. When those princes were still there, Daddy almost got involved in the dispute. I am worried that Daddy might get involved again without noticing."

"Your father is a short-sighted person. In my opinion, it is better to let him resign from his official position to prevent him from causing a disaster and bringing harm to the whole family." Zhao Cui thought of a way to solve the problem once and for all with a worried look on her face.

"Grandma, my father worked hard to become an official, and he still wants to become a first-rank official. He will never resign." Zhao Wangshu said.

Zhao Li also nodded and said, "Yes, mother, his father has lofty ambitions. How could he be willing to stay idle at home?"

"Besides, we can't throw the baby out with the bathwater," Zhao Wangshu added.

Zhao Cui sighed and said, "Then we can only ask them to be more careful."

"Grandma and mother, don't worry too much. Yun Hao will always keep an eye on the developments in the court and tell you in time if there is any movement." Zhao Wangshu comforted.

After hearing this, Zhao Cui and Zhao Li felt a little relieved. Yun Hao was a close minister to the emperor, and he knew a lot of things that outsiders could not know.

After finishing the business, Zhao Lishi urged the birth, "Yue'er, Yu'er is one and a half years old, it's time for you to get pregnant with the second child."

"Mother, there's no rush." ​​Zhao Wangshu didn't have the idea of ​​having many children, which meant more blessings. She just planned to wait until Yun Yu was older and then have another daughter.

"Of course you are anxious. Reproduction is a big deal. Having more children will make the family more lively." Zhao Li said anxiously. She hoped that Zhao Wangshu could have more children.

Zhao Cui interrupted and said, "Your sister-in-law is pregnant again."

"My sister-in-law is pregnant again. How many months? I didn't notice it at first." Zhao Wangshu asked.

Zhao Li held up two fingers and said, "It's been almost two months."

"I'll have to congratulate my sister-in-law later." Zhao Wangshu said with a smile.

"Your elder brother and sister-in-law already have three children, and you only have Yu'er. You have to hurry up." Zhao Li continued to urge.

"I understand. I'll consider it." Zhao Wangshu responded casually in order to avoid being scolded by her.

When Zhao Li saw Zhao Wangshu's ambiguous attitude, she knew that she didn't really take it to heart. She wanted to say something, but Zhao Cui gave her a look, and she could only swallow her words back.

Later, Zhao Wangshu saw Song Yuanqu and said, "Sister-in-law, congratulations."

"You know." Song Yuanqu smiled happily, touching her belly, "I hope the third child is still a son. Brothers of one mind can achieve great things."

"Sister-in-law, your wish will come true." Zhao Wangshu gave his blessing.
