After feeding the exiled criminals, she was forced to reveal herself

Chapter 160: Be careful of setting yourself on fire
When the Xian King heard Ruan Peining's words, he remained silent and picked up Ruan Aizhi's sincere letter on the table again, his brows furrowed.

Ruan Peining had a bad feeling in his heart.

"It is not the best idea for me to return to the capital." After a long time, the wise king said in a deep voice.

Ruan Peining's heart felt cold.

His Highness the Nine Emperor Shuxian Wang continued: "But Wang Yu is a good minister, so it would be a pity to just leave him alone."

Ruan Peining raised his head and looked forward to it.

The wise king looked at Ruan Peining with deep eyes, "Your Ruan family and Xie family are related by marriage. Your father should not reach out to Wang Yu. The emperor has now passed the age of knowing his destiny, and the emperor's heart is unpredictable. Ruan A minister should protect himself wisely."

When Ruan Peining heard the words of the Xian King, he couldn't help but admire his father Ruan Yanzhi's foresight.

Before he left, when the father and son were discussing whether it was feasible at this time in the study, Ruan Souzhi mentioned to him that if the old prince did not like that the Ruan family was involved in the Qin Tianjian matter, he would consider the Ruan and Wang families to have been friends for many years. The opportunity moved the wise king.

"Returning to the prince, my father said that the ancestors of the Wang family were very kind to our Ruan family. The two families have been friends for many years, and now they are both officials in the same court. Mr. Wang is an upright official. On the one hand, my father wanted to repay the Wang family's great kindness, and on the other hand, my father wanted to repay the Wang family's great kindness. I came here just to do my best for Liang Liangchen and to have a clear conscience. As for the rest, my father was in a hurry and didn't worry too much. "

Ruan Peining's words were sincere and sincere.

Every word was either to repay the favor or to do it for Daliang, and to reveal to the King Xian that his father, Ruan Taizhi, was eager to save people and had no unnecessary thoughts. Every word he spoke was spoken in the heart of the old King Xian, and His Highness the King Xian nodded repeatedly.

"It's not easy for Mr. Ruan to know his true intentions."

"Your Majesty Ming Jian."

His Royal Highness the Xian King put down Ruan Weizhi's letter, thought carefully for a while, and ordered the butler next to him to prepare paper and pen.

The housekeeper went to the cubicle to decorate the study room.

Ruan Peining saw King Xian standing up and waved to him, and immediately followed him.

The fragrance of ink was quiet, and the wise king said to him while writing: "The matter of confiscating the Xie family has been finalized in the emperor's mind. I once went to the palace to give a few words of advice, but there was nothing I could do. Out of sight, my heart is pure. Come out and hide for peace. , It’s not easy to be pure even if you don’t want to.”

Ruan Peining stood aside submissively, just listening.

The wise king raised his eyes and glanced at him, then lowered his head and continued to write: "It has been more than a hundred years since Taizu founded the country. The ministers who have made great achievements have not had many good results in the past dynasties. Your father is a sensible man, and he will not blame the family. It's because he has the intention to disturb me. He has made a lot of progress as an official in these years. Wang Yu's affairs are not big or small. Since he wants to come to me, I will not sit idly by. "

A page was filled with writing, and the butler next to him held it with both hands and gently dried it.

The wise king continued to write the next one.

"The emperor was able to send Wang Yu to prison because of the emperor's thoughts. It cannot be said that Wang Yu is completely blameless. It is the duty of a minister beside the emperor to keep an eye on all directions and listen to all directions. Qin Tianjian conducts divination for the court. Tianji, if he is negligent for a moment, there is room for change, but if he himself is stubborn and refuses to say what he should say, and talks nonsense about what he should not say, he will not be unjustly punished by the wrath of the Son of Heaven. "

The last word is just the moment to finish writing.

His Highness the King Xian held a horizontal pen in his hand, stared at Ruan Peining with a deep and cold gaze, and asked: "Take my words back to your father word for word, and let him think about it carefully. If you think about it, give Wang Yu a message." talk."

Ruan Peining bowed his head and said: "Yes! Your Majesty!"

"Yes." The wise king looked satisfied when he saw this, "I seal the letter."

The palace steward beside him had already prepared the royal seal, and the King's precious seal was sealed as a letter. The rest of the work was left to the steward. After the steward sealed the letter paper, he handed the letter to Ruan Peining.

Ruan Peining stepped forward, accepted the letter and returned it.

The old Xian Wang shook his wide sleeves, clasped his hands in front of him, and strolled forward from the inside. Ruan Peining put away the letter written by the Xian Wang and followed two steps behind.

The monarch and his ministers walked from the house to the courtyard one after another.

The wise king stood still, glanced at him half sideways, pondered a little, and said: "Pei Ning, the court is in a very difficult time now. There are powerful enemies outside, people are suffering from disasters inside, and all the officials are in confusion. Your father If you hold an important position in the civil service, you should think more about the court and the people of Daliang. Don't be lazy when overcoming difficulties. "

"Your Majesty, Pei Ning must tell his father the words of your Majesty's teachings."

Ruan Peining knew that when His Highness the King Xian called his name, he was just talking about something private behind the scenes.

His Royal Highness the King Xian nodded slightly, "Give this letter to your father. He will know who to send it to the study. This is only the case with Wang Yu. Your father should not interfere with the affairs of Qin Tianjian again, or he may get burned." "Yes, Your Majesty."

"Go ahead. The matter of rescuing people is urgent, so I won't let you stay."

"I am resigning."

That night, Ruan Peining took people back to Beijing.

His father Ruan Aizhi only completed half of what he had asked him to do, so he galloped back on his horse and tried to return home when the city gate opened in the morning.

After Ruan Peining left, His Highness the Nine Emperors Uncle Xian Wang stood in the courtyard for a while longer.

"Your Majesty, it's late at night, go back to your room and sleep peacefully."

The old wise king raised his head and looked at the sky, his voice was a little heavy. If you listen carefully, there was a hint of helplessness in the slightly old voice, "The emperor is acting more and more carelessly now. If this continues, there will be chaos in the court. If the imperial court is in chaos, how can the people below live in peace?"

The butler thought for a while and followed his master's wishes and said: "The emperor has been diligent in government affairs for many years. If you are tired and take a rest, you will be fine. Besides, there is a prince assisting the government, so the world will not be in chaos."

"Have those who went to the northwest come back?" King Xian suddenly asked.

When the housekeeper heard this, he straightened his expression and said, "I'm back. The ones from the north are also back."

"Let them come to the house tomorrow."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The old wise king flicked his long sleeves and went back to his house to sleep.

On the other side, Ruan Peining and his men ran around all night and finally returned to the capital before dawn.

Minister's Mansion.

Ruan Weizhi, the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and Li Shaoqing, the imperial eunuch of the Qin Dynasty, waited for a day and two nights.

After Ruan Peining returned home, Ruan Aizhi asked his servants to invite Li Shaoqing, who came in a hurry after hearing the news.

"I've seen the minister."

"No need to be polite, Mr. Li, please sit down."

Ruan Peining lit the candle, and the three of them were in Ruan Wenzhi's study, studying how to rescue the prisoner Wang Yu without fail.

Ruan Peining brought the old prince's words.

After Ruan Ezhi listened, he was silent for a long time.

Ruan Peining and Li Shaoqing looked at each other and did not dare to disturb.

After a long time, Li Shaoqing sighed: "Sir Ruan, you are in a situation where you are not in control, so taking advantage of the situation is a way to save your life."

Ruan Peining said: "If the prince doesn't come forward in this matter, is there any chance of winning?"

Ruan Wenzhi nodded, took the letter from the wise king and said: "This means that the prince has come forward to protect Wang Yu, but..."

"Just what?" Ruan Peining said.

Ruan Ezhi looked at Li Shaoqing and said, "Mr. Wang's position as a supervisor may be difficult for a while. What are Li Langguan's plans?"

Li Shaoqing seemed to have already made up his mind, "I will advance and retreat together with Mr. Wang."

Ruan Wenzhi nodded, "I'll go try it."
