Although the trouble would have been even worse if Rong Jian hadn't handled the salt smuggling case, the emperor was still furious because of this, and Rong Jian was fined.

Another person took over the investigation of the private salt case, and the emperor personally handled Li Deqin's treason case.

Six officials were beheaded due to the private salt case, 11 were exiled, nearly 30 were dismissed and demoted, and 17 salt merchants, large and small, were dealt with. It was a bigger case that his home was copied that year.

And this is just the private salt case, and the treason case of the Li family will not be punished lightly. The nine clans of the Li family were punished as an example, and all property was confiscated. This was the only time when Emperor Zhaoyuan was emperor.

Li Deqin's officers and soldiers who participated in the rebellion were not implicated and killed because of Rong Jian's promise at the beginning, but they were all dismissed from their posts and could no longer serve as officials or soldiers.

Those who made meritorious service, although they were dismissed, were compensated with a certain amount of money, which was regarded as a reward.

The salt smuggling case and the rebellion case of the General Army in Yunzhou were all settled after a year.

And the deterrent effect played has affected for more than ten years.

Speaking of Rong Jian, because of Li Deqin's rebellion, he was furious, his eyes got worse, and his vision did not improve. During the chaos in Yunzhou City, Min Xiang was also frightened, and he was relieved when Li Deqin's rebellion was suppressed.

After Rong Jian recovered from his injuries, and the officials sent by the emperor to deal with the situation in Yunzhou arrived, Rong Jian led the order back to Beijing.

The Min family will naturally follow him back.

Before that, Min Changqing and Min Xiang had quarreled over this matter.

Min Changqing was very sad and asked Min Xiang, "Brother, didn't you say you would not go back with him?"

Facing his questioning, Min Xiang was very ashamed, and could hardly face Min Changqing, so he had to say, "I was the one who backed down, and now, I have agreed to him, so I can only go back with him."

Min Changqing gritted his teeth tightly, with a sad and disappointed expression on his face, "You also promised me that you would not leave with him."

Min Xiang was speechless, but just lowered his head, "I'm sorry."

Min Changqing said angrily, "I don't want to hear these words at all. He is the most important thing in your heart. We are just people who can't get into your heart. Not only me, but even Xiao Ru'er has never been in your heart. You see that these days when Rong Jian was injured, you even left Xiao Ru'er aside."

Min Xiang was ashamed, but he did not admit that what he said was the truth, "He was injured for us, and his eyes couldn't see. Shouldn't I take care of him? You are all my relatives, how could I not take you to heart? Come on. You say that, how do you want me to face you. "

Min Changqing replied sharply, "Did he get hurt because of us? Was it not because of him that we lost our peaceful life, because of him, our home was gone, and because of him, we were frightened. Without him, how could we Someone is coming to attack us."

Min Xiang was angry for a while, "Go out, what are you talking about."

Min Changqing turned around in disappointment and ran out.

Xiao Ru'er knew that her father had quarreled with her second uncle, she frowned and didn't know what to do.

After Min Xiang and Min Changqing quarreled, both of them regretted it, but they didn't know how to make up with each other. In the end, Min Xiang went to find Min Changqing. In Min Changqing's room, Min Changqing was very happy to see him bowing his head to him. Naturally, I won't be so sullen anymore, but I didn't expect Min Xiang to say to him, "Changqing, if you don't want to come to Beijing with us, it doesn't matter, I will borrow 1000 taels of silver from Rong Jian and leave it to you." , a better house in Yunzhou, 200 taels is enough, and for the rest, you can marry a wife and have children."

Min Changqing was stunned on the spot, tears streaming down uncontrollably, "Brother, are you going to abandon me?"

But Min Xiang didn't expect him to cry. He thought that Min Changqing was willing to go to Beijing with him to make this plan for him. Seeing his tears pouring down like a spring, he quickly wiped him with a towel, "Why are you crying? I don't want to throw away I'm sorry, you don't want to go to Beijing, so I don't want to force you, Yunzhou is prosperous and the climate is warm, although summer is unavoidably humid and hot, it is also very suitable for living, you are here, it is better than anywhere else."

Min Changqing said sadly, "Brother, I will follow wherever you go. I have no intention of leaving you. It's just that you followed the prince to Beijing, what kind of status do you have? You were originally the youngest son of a great family, but you want to Do you want to be a pet for someone?"

Min Xiang was very upset by what he said, and said, "Even if I go back to Beijing with Rong Jian, I don't want to live with him. I won't enter the palace."

Min Changqing breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Brother, I don't mean to be separated from you. How can I let you go? Don't give me any money. I want to be with you. Didn't you say that we are a family? Is it a relative, didn't you say that I am your younger brother, don't abandon me."

Min Xiang was saddened by what he said, so he held him in his arms and patted him gently to comfort him, "Of course we are a family, not only a family, but also closer than a family. After getting over it, what will you be afraid of in the future. As long as you follow me for a day, I will take care of you for a day."

Rong Jian naturally takes Min Changqing's feelings for Min Xiang seriously, but he can't do anything to Min Changqing. Min Changqing is a brother who has suffered with Min Xiang, and it is impossible for Min Xiang to leave him alone. Therefore, Rong Jian I can only endure the situation of having a rival in love by my lover's side.

When returning to Beijing, although Yunzhou had just been disrupted, Rong Jian still left after a grand farewell ceremony.

It's just that his body hasn't recovered, so he simply attended the event and then boarded the boat.

When he came to Yunzhou, it was just February, and now it is nearly May.

On the way back, the green hills on both sides of the strait are already green, and the return journey is relatively slow. It only takes about ten days to go to Yunzhou, but it takes more than a month to go back.

It was all because Rong Jian was injured, so he deliberately slowed down the schedule.

Because he had already received the imperial decree and was punished, he was also grounded when he went back. It would be better to take a leisurely tour with Min Xiang on the road, which would be the best enjoyment.

And he believed that with the emperor's sharp eyes and ears, he probably already knew his relationship with Min Xiang, but he didn't know if he would find out Min Xiang's real identity. With Xing Feng'an like Wu Xiang in front, Rong Jian felt that his imperial brother It is not very likely to guess that Min Xiang is Wu Xiang, and the matter of the Wu family is over. The emperor will no longer care about the youngest son of the Wu family who will not pose a threat to him, and he should also understand that he has no feelings for Wu Xiang back then. Xiang's feelings, even if he just sells himself a favor and makes himself work for him, he will not do anything to Wu Xiang.

These are the reasons why Rong Jian brought Min Xiang back to Beijing in an upright manner.

Because the boat ride was boring, Rong Jian and his party got off the boat in a city upstream of Yunzhou City, and returned to Beijing in a carriage.

He must stop and visit the scenic spots he passes along the way. Although his eyes are blurred, Min Xiang can see them, so he is satisfied.

Min Xiang naturally knew that it was because of him that he moved so slowly, and he was moved, so when they arrived in Beijing, the relationship between the two of them was a step closer.

However, Rong Jian tried to mistreat him many times, but failed. Min Xiang refused him because he was hurt and he was away from home.

Min Xiang used to be dispensable to intercourse. At the age of 26, he has only had intercourse twice in his life. The first time he had sex with his wife was because he was drunk so he had no impression at all. The second time was with Ouyang Hui. This really didn't make a good impression on him, and he fainted from the pain on the spot, so let alone looking forward to this kind of thing, or even feeling disgusted.

Therefore, if Rong Jian wants to have the reality of husband and wife, it is really a heavy responsibility and a long way to go.

When Rong Jian arrived in Beijing, it was already the first ten days of June, and June was when the weather in Beijing became hotter.

Because Rong Jian failed to complete the task assigned to him by the emperor, naturally no one would go out of the city to greet him when he returned to Beijing, so he went back to the mansion in such a low-key manner.

Two days before he was going to enter the capital, he had already sent his subordinates to rush back to report the news. On the one hand, he informed his mansion that he was ready to welcome him, and on the other hand, he informed the emperor that he had finally returned.

After entering the gate of the capital, people from the palace had already come to report to him in a whisper, saying that the emperor had pretended to be waiting for him in the palace.

This is a big deal, so Rong Jian had to bid farewell to Min Xiang.

He asked another carriage to take Min Xiang to the other courtyard first, and he took Min Xiang to the palace after dealing with the emperor.

Min Xiang doesn't care about big things, and after he agrees, he has to turn the carriage and leave.

Xiao Ru'er was probably frightened by his father when he was in Yunzhou, so when he returned to Beijing, he insisted on staying by his father's side. Naturally, it was not easy for Rong Jian to let him go to Min Changqing's place, so he stayed in the carriage along the way. There is just an extra innocent light bulb, Xiao Ru'er, and this light bulb has no self-consciousness at all.

Rong Jian loved him more than her own son, and played with him all the way, while Min Xiang was free.

Just about to leave at this moment, Rong Jian reached out to hug Min Xiang, and even kissed his ear, "Xiang Xiang, I will take you into the palace soon."

Min Xiang nodded, "I know. I'm not a cranky person, you don't need to say too much, I know how to do it."

When Xiao Ru'er heard what the two said, she also crawled over and kissed Rong Jian on the cheek, "Uncle Jiang, don't forget that you promised to do my mother's business."

Rong Jian smiled and said, "I will never forget that when uncle is away, Xiao Ru'er takes good care of your father."

Xiao Ruer nodded solemnly, "Xiao Ruer understands."

Rong Jian hugged him again, and then watched Min Xiang get out of the carriage with Xiao Ru'er, transfer to another carriage, and go to the other courtyard that he had arranged under the protection of his most trusted personal guard.

Although Rong Jian's eyesight has improved a lot, his eyesight still hasn't fully recovered, so the carriage entered the palace, and after he was helped out of the carriage, he was also helped to meet the emperor.

The emperor Rong Chen was sitting in Rong Jian's study room reading a book, and Rong Jian was helped to the door, and knelt down when he entered the room, "Your Majesty, my brother has insulted your entrustment, and I really deserve it for not handling the private salt case well." Doom."

Rong Chen threw down the book in his hand, and glanced at Rong Wenying who was on the chair next to him and got anxious when he saw his father kneeling down. Seeing his father kneeling, Rong Wenying also climbed off the chair. Kneel down in front of you.

Rong Chen said to Rong Wenying, "What are you doing kneeling down?"

Rong Wenying kowtowed politely, and said, "My father made a mistake, and my son should take the blame for my father, so I should kneel down."

Rong Chen said, "Your father is really going to punish you, but you are free and easy on the road. I didn't ask you repeatedly, but you can take half a month's journey to a little over a month."

Rong Wenying secretly went to see her father, and Rong Jian knew that his elder brother was at his house to wait for him to return, so she didn't mean to blame him at all, and said, "The emperor forgives me, there is a reason for the delay in the trip. "

Rong Chen sneered, "It's some reason, it's nothing more than being tempted by beauty, so I'm not in a hurry to come back."

Rong Jian saw that Rong Chen said the four words of beauty and temptation lightly, so he knew that he didn't blame himself, and he probably didn't know Min Xiang's identity, so he said, "In fact, I don't dare to bear such a crime. I'm not well, I'm too hasty, I'm afraid it will worsen the injury, I hope the emperor will learn from you."

Rong Chen frowned slightly, "The eye injury is so serious, come here and have a look."

Rong Jian hurriedly walked over on his knees, but Rong Chen had already said, "Let's just be normal, there is no need to behave like this."

Rong Jian got up quickly. Rong Wenying had always been unscrupulous in front of his uncle, so he also got up and came to see his father's eyes.

When Rong Chen saw that Rong Jian's eyes were really abnormal, covered with a layer of lifeless anger, he was shocked, "I didn't expect this eye injury to be so serious."

Rong Jian said, "Don't dare to worry the emperor, now I can see it a little bit clearly, and it will be cured in about half a year."

Rong Wenying also stared into his father's eyes, and said in surprise, "Your father, will you not be able to see clearly after half a year?"

Rong Jian glanced at him, "Don't be surprised in front of your imperial uncle."

Rong Chen said, "Don't care about those rules."

It's a way of being a family.

The emperor came to Rong Jian's residence in casual clothes. First, he wanted to show his favor. Although he punished Rong Jian, he did not really anger him, but still favored him; He was injured, so he came to inspect the wound to show his love and care for him; the third was to talk to him about the situation in Yunzhou.

It's just that he didn't expect his eye injury to be so serious, so he didn't talk about serious business at all. He had already asked the imperial physician of the Chuan Imperial Hospital to consult, and the two imperial physicians who had gone to Yunzhou to treat Rong Jian's injuries came together.

After the consultation, the result is that, as Rong Jian said, it may take less than half a year for the eyes to heal, and they should not be exhausted during this period, otherwise the recovery time will be postponed.

The emperor left dinner at Prince Qi's mansion before returning to the palace. After returning to the palace, because Rong Jian was about to be grounded when he returned to Beijing, he did not invite him into the palace, but gave him a lot of rewards and punishments. It was a punishment, but the reward was calculated separately, and a lot of condolences were given because of his eye injury.

Rong Jian went back to the mansion and settled down. Because of his eye injury, Rong Wenying, who had always been at odds with him, became well-behaved now, because she knew that if something happened to her father, she would not be well.

However, he was very concerned about the fact that Rong Jian was accompanied by beautiful women on the way back to Beijing mentioned by Rong Chen, so he asked him that night, "Father, do you want to take a concubine?"

Rong Jian said, "Where did you hear about this?"

Rong Wenying said, "Uncle Huang said that a beauty will accompany you all the way."

Rong Jian said, "I don't know how to take concubines. He is my friend."

Rong Wenying had only heard of one person whom Rong Jian said was a friend, "Is Xiao Ru'er's father?" Apparently nearly a year had passed, and he was still brooding over Xiao Ru'er who he only met once.

Rong Jian nodded, "Yes, the king will pick him up to live with Xiao Ru'er in the palace, so don't make trouble when the time comes, otherwise the king will send you to the palace to go to school, and you will not be allowed to return to the palace until Xiumu."

Rong Wenying snorted, wondering if there is anyone who doesn't want a son because of a friend, but thinking of Xiao Mantou and Xiao Ru'er, he didn't lose his temper with his father and said, "Xiao Ru'er is here to be my son's companion." Read it, this son will not be confused."

Rong Jian said, "If you want to bully him, it won't be as simple as sending you to the palace."

Rong Wenying said, "Father, are you being too partial?"

Rong Jian said, "It's not that you are partial, it's just that you are too incompetent. Your former bookboy Cheng Xiaoran, how did you treat him? If, as a prince, you don't even understand that kindness and power are equal, and you just blindly bully others, then, and There is no difference between street bullies, but I am worried that you will not be able to support a palace in the future."

Rong Wenying was so dejected by his lecture that she did not dare to refute.
