Wangfu little dumb wife

Chapter 608 Summoned (2 more)
Wen Wan heard from her adoptive father that when she was three years old, she had a high fever and could not speak after waking up.

If this is the case, what about Song Wei?
It's fine if you don't remember before the age of three, but after the age of three, why has the person who promised to take care of her never appeared?

The more she thought about it, the more Wen Wan felt that her mother believed in the wrong person.

Watching his young wife's eyes turn from questioning to angry, and then from angry to resentful, Song Wei suddenly felt powerless.

He wanted to explain that it wasn't that he didn't want to take care of her, but that he didn't dare to approach her, and he felt that she might not believe such words.

Seeing that he refused to even explain, Wen Wan snorted and asked him to go out, she wanted to be alone.

So Song Wei was fined to sleep in the study for three days.

In the past three days, rumors about Wen Wan's life experience have spread all over the street.

Although her origin is still not fair, but she is the niece of Emperor Guangxi, and the people passed it down, but they dare not discuss it.

The affairs of Duke Jing's mansion caused a commotion, which inevitably fell into Emperor Guangxi's ears.

Royal study.

Eunuch Cui spoke vividly at the side, and Emperor Guangxi read and listened while holding the booklet. At the end, he couldn't even read the booklet, and looked up at Eunuch Cui, "Song Wei really said those words himself?"

Eunuch Cui said: "My servant heard from the people below that Mr. Song just relayed the words. The original words came from the mouth of the former Eldest Princess."

The words "Former Eldest Princess" dimmed Emperor Guangxi's eyes.

Eunuch Cui knew without guessing that the emperor was thinking about the eldest princess again, so he wisely stopped talking.

The hall was silent for a long time, and Emperor Guangxi ordered: "Pass to the prince."

Eunuch Cui went out in response, and hurried to the Wenhua Hall. In about two quarters of an hour, Zhao Xi arrived outside the Qianqing Gate in a soft chariot.

Before going in, he paused, looked at Eunuch Cui, "What did the emperor tell me?"

Eunuch Cui lowered his eyelids, "I don't know."

Zhao Xi knew very well that the head of the imperial court was tactful, and whenever he encountered sensitive matters, he would pretend to be stupid and would never say a word, so he stopped persecuting him.

Emperor Guangxi had already moved from the imperial study to the main hall of Qianqing Palace to sit and drink tea. When Zhao Xi came in, he drove away all the servants, only father and son remained.

Zhao Xi asked after saluting, "I don't know why the emperor summoned his children and ministers?"

Emperor Guangxi was silent for a moment, "There have been rumors in the market recently, has the prince heard of it?"

Zhao Xi naturally heard that Mrs. Song whom she hadn't met a few times turned out to be his cousin, Song Wei was his cousin's husband, and Song Yuanbao... Song Yuanbao was his cousin.

This sudden seniority relationship made Zhao Xi depressed for several days.

Pulling back his thoughts, Zhao Xi said: "Madam Song is actually Aunt Changping's biological daughter, which is indeed unbelievable."

Every time he mentioned his younger sister, Emperor Guangxi couldn't help sighing with emotion.

The guilty expression he had never shown in front of Zhao Xi before, seemed to be opened at this moment, pouring out in full,

"I have owed your aunt too much in my life." He said, "But the coal mine case is too big. Even if I want to protect her, I can't do anything in the face of civil and military officials."

Zhao Xi understood this feeling. He didn't feel it when he didn't participate in politics before. After he was crowned prince and started to take over government affairs, he became more and more aware of how helpless the word "involuntary" is.

For many things, even if he thinks it is right, he should do it that way. As long as the officials disagree, he has to reconsider, reconsider, and even make concessions.

"The only chance I can save your aunt is to pardon the world."

Emperor Guangxi brought up the old story again.

On that day, Su Qing and Xu Guangfu triumphantly returned to Beijing to take up their duties in the Jinluan Palace. When he proposed amnesty, it was the crown prince who led the opposition.

If he wanted to break through now, he had to attack the prince first.

Zhao Xi insisted: "Father, please think twice."

"You still think it's wrong?" Emperor Guangxi frowned, "There have been precedents of amnesty in the past dynasties, but it's not okay here?"

"If my father amnesties the world for my aunt's family, I really don't agree with it." Zhao Xi's attitude was cold: "At that time, Lu Yanqing committed such a crime, my father knew that more than 80 lives were lost, and now the relatives of the deceased He is still alive, and the murderer has just been let go, if someone is filled with resentment and goes to extremes to reproduce the tragedy of Wangge’s old family’s extermination in the year when the father was enthroned and amnesty the world, how will it end then?”

The veins on Emperor Guangxi's forehead twitched, "Then according to what you want, I have to issue an edict to tell the world to abolish the rule of amnesty from now on?"

Zhao Xi did have this meaning.

Amnesty for the world, the whole world celebrates.

It sounds very festive and peaceful, but in fact, the panic and harm caused by the released criminals to the people is far from being seen by the superiors.

Once someone like Lu Yanqing is released, who can guarantee that the relatives of those victims of the mining accident will not set up a trap to harm the aunt's family out of hatred?
Even if they are just ordinary people, once they are forced to the point where they dare not even take their lives, there is nothing they can't do.

Emperor Guangxi felt that Zhao Xi's thoughts were too extreme. It was true that a tragedy happened when he ascended the throne, but that incident was an exception and could not be used as a benchmark for restricting amnesty to the world.

Zhao Xi firmly disagreed with Emperor Guangxi's amnesty for the world.

The opinions of the father and son were deadlocked, and finally Emperor Guangxi asked Cui Eunuch to go to Taichang Temple to pass on Song Wei.

When Song Wei came to Qianqing Palace, seeing Emperor Guangxi's complexion was not very good, and seeing Zhao Xi standing beside him, he roughly guessed why the father and son had an awkward relationship.

After saluting the emperor and the crown prince, Song Wei stood up straight, "I don't know why the emperor summoned the humble minister?"

Emperor Guangxi looked at Song Wei: "The Western Expeditionary Army fought a beautiful turnaround for me. Not only did they defeat the enemy army, but they also brought Mount Hua into the territory of Great Chu. Song Shaoqing thinks such a grand event should be amnesty to the world?"
