imprinted you in my heart

Shi Min got up and paced around for a long time, and finally wrote the word "Zhun Zuo" with trembling hands.

The sun came out the next day, and the first snow that fell yesterday just covered the uppers of the shoes, and it began to melt when it saw the sun, and the sound of dripping water from the eaves made me think it was raining heavily if I didn’t go out of the house.

Shi Min got up early, before dawn, and went to the Wenxuan Hall to burn incense and burn some paper money for Grandma Huang. No matter how busy the government affairs were, as long as she was in the palace, she would at least come to the Wenxuan Hall to put a pillar every day Stay for a while.

Compared with her casualness, Wen Yu and Bu Qianxue were much more regular about keeping filial piety for Grandma Huang. Wen Yu basically went there once in the morning and in the evening, at least half an hour each time before the weather was cold. Afraid that her body would not be able to bear it, it was changed to two quarters of an hour after repeated persuasion.

When Bu Qianxue was in the palace, it was almost the same as the queen mother, twice a day, if she was not in the palace, she would be exempted, as long as she did not do taboo things like the ministers.

Shi Min only stayed in the Wenxuan Hall for a quarter of an hour before leaving. After returning to have breakfast, he went to court. It happened to be staggered with the palace attendant who came to deliver the latest issue of the New Daily. He asked several times in the morning. In the end, I still didn't see it.

She didn't see it, but the latest issue of the new daily that was sent to Yongshou Palace and Anren Palace was delivered to Wen Yu and Bu Qianxue without any mistakes.

After reading the headlines on the front page and the last words "beheaded in the fall of the coming year", Bu Qianxue was confused. Although Wen Zhiyuan deserved to die, he was a relative of the emperor after all, so he was sentenced to death so easily ?Does Shi Min know?

But if you say you don’t know, it’s unlikely, because basically all the information about the royal family and nobles must be sent to the palace in advance for her to review. I am afraid that she will not dare to publish in the newspapers indiscriminately.

Not to mention that Bu Qianxue couldn't believe it, even those who subscribed to the New Daily in Fandu couldn't believe it after reading it, because Wen Zhiyuan was the emperor's cousin after all, and it was just corruption and dereliction of duty, not a serious crime of treason!

The nobles of the royal family have always been privileged people, and they are not in the same level as ordinary people like them from birth. This has been the case since ancient times, and it has become a deep-rooted perception of everyone. It is normal to think so.

What they think is also true. If judged according to the law that has not been amended before, a case like Wen Zhiyuan will be punished for at most ten or eight years. Sir, and the law is not amended.

However, Wen Zhiyuan has already been deprived of his title of nobleman, and he was convicted as an official, so he can only judge by the law of managing officials, supplemented by the law of honor and honor, that is, the law of managing officials is the main method. He has already exceeded the standard of capital punishment for embezzling more than 5000 taels of ink.

What's more, he also dereliction of duty, causing ordinary people to have no place to appeal for grievances, disregarding their lives, indirectly killing others, disrupting the order of the local market, and driving up prices, none of which are minor crimes that are optional.

Although everyone knows that it is normal for Wen Zhiyuan to be sentenced to death according to the current law, but Wen Zhiyuan's identity is there after all, so that everyone has tacitly agreed that in all likelihood, he will not be sentenced to death. Receive a living crime and lose freedom for a period of time.

After all, Wen Zhiyuan is not only the emperor's cousin, but also the emperor's attendant. It is normal for the ministers to intercede for the love they grew up with, so Wen Zhiyuan was sentenced to be executed after autumn. , on the contrary shocked them.

Because of the announcement of the results of the Wen Zhiyuan case, this issue of New Daily has sold well in both Fandu and other cities, and made a lot of profits, which made Ma Jinqian very happy. She will be happy with her.

If it is just an appetizer to say that the results of dealing with corrupt officials before were published in newspapers, then the publication of the results of Wen Zhiyuan's case is like a bomb thrown around the honored nobles. It made them even more terrified.

No one needs to talk about the relationship between Wen Zhiyuan and the emperor, everyone knows how close you can be, and now even Wen Zhiyuan can't escape the punishment of the law, if they are changed, the result can be imagined.

Derived from this case, officials and people across the country also fully understood one thing, the emperor's determination to reform the New Deal may be as firm as a rock, and it cannot be shaken by ordinary people.All they can do is follow the general trend and learn to be good.

Compared with the shock and fear of nobles and nobles, the common people were surprised when they knew the result of this case, but they all clapped their hands and cheered. They all felt that His Majesty was very wise and mighty for killing relatives righteously. Even the storyteller in the teahouse told a similar story Business is booming.

In Yongshou Palace, after Wen Yu knew that the latest issue of the New Daily was delivered, he couldn't wait to get it in his hand and start to read it, but was so angry by the eye-catching title and the content inside that he almost fainted.

After finally slowing down, Wen Yu immediately sent someone to call the emperor over, his face sank like water, as if he could erupt at any time, which made the Chief Dian, who had never seen the queen mother so angry, a little confused.

On the other hand, the Wen family also received the latest issue of the New Daily. The husband of the Wen family couldn’t get any news from the left and right, and his partner refused to do anything. He knew that Wen Zhiyuan would report it if he was convicted, so he specially ordered his servants to publish the first issue of the New Daily. Send it to him in no time.

After seeing the result of the case, the husband of the Wen family almost fell under the chair. He thought that he would ask the queen mother, and then consider the queen mother's preference for the two children and the relationship between her majesty and him, no matter how serious it is, she would not lose it. Unexpectedly, Wen Yuan's crow's mouth was confirmed in the end.

Wen Zhimian is as concerned about the progress of the case as the husband of the Wen family. Ever since she was made a nobleman and Wen Yuan talked to her again, she is like a frightened rabbit. Fortunately, she felt that her mother took things too seriously. Given the relationship between their family and the royal family, as well as the relationship between her brother and the emperor's cousin, the emperor's cousin would definitely bypass her brother's life.

So although she seldom goes out recently, she has never left to inquire about the progress of the case. The moment she saw the new daily, her luck was completely wiped out, and she laughed like crazy. Report to the master.

The head of the Wen family hadn't recovered from the grief of his eldest son being sentenced to death, when he heard the servants say that the second daughter laughed like crazy after knowing about the young master. Sad, rushed to the second daughter's yard like the wind.

When Wen Zhimian regained consciousness again, there was burning pain on her face. Her father was standing in front of him with a sad face and kept calling her name. She remembered everything at once. Her brother was sentenced to be executed in the next autumn. The result was the same as her mother predicted!

Her mother also told her why she took the initiative to ask her to be named a nobleman, because only in this way can they keep their family and the title of the nobleman Wen Fuhou, so that nothing will be lost in the end.

Thinking of this, Wen Zhimian began to cry again, unable to bear it no matter what, the tears fell like disobedient ones.

Seeing that her daughter started to cry after not smiling, the husband of the Wen family was immediately upset, and hurriedly urged his servants to see if the doctor had arrived. Her daughter's face was flushed by her, so don't affect her appearance.

Although appearance is not an absolute condition for finding a partner, but if it is too bad, no one will look up to it, it will be bad.

Now the eldest son is probably unable to save him. He and Wen Yuan only have these two children, and they will depend on the second daughter in the future. If something happens to the second daughter again, what hope do he and Wen Yuan have?

He has worked so hard for most of his life for his children and for this family, but now he has become like this. If he had known this, he should have prevented Wen Yuan from sending his eldest son to choose a school. Xi Zheng didn't have to be that bit of a sesame official, and he even lost his life in the end.

Under the urgent urging of the servants, the doctor finally came.After Wen Zhimian took the sedative and fell asleep, the husband of the Wen family reluctantly left, and until Wen Zhimian fell asleep completely, she still couldn't believe that the emperor's cousin who was so good to her usually treated her brother. would be so unfeeling.

. . . . . . . . . . . . .

In Chengtian Hall, Shi Min sat on the phoenix seat with a serious expression, listening to the ministers below report on their work, completely unaware that she had changed from a lovely and respectable person to a heartless person in Wen Zhimian's heart.

Today is the Great Court Meeting, and there are many nobles and officials participating in the court meeting. Except for a row deliberately left in the middle of the hall, all other places in the hall are full of officials holding wat boards.

Generally, the day of the Great Court Meeting is just to discuss some routine matters. The main purpose is to let the ministers see Shengyan and know who their boss is. By the way, encourage everyone to work hard, so it will be over soon.

Shi Min came out of the palace and was about to go to Anren Palace to meet Bu Qianxue. Yesterday, the queen mother issued an order to give Bu Qianxue full responsibility for this year's New Year banquet and other matters. She might be busier than her in the future, so hurry up before she is too busy. Just stay together for a while longer.

Not only was the sun not hot on his body, but he also felt a bit colder than yesterday. The eaves of the palace were still dripping, but the ground could not see any snow. It was so wet that Shi Min gave up the idea of ​​walking there.

As a result, as soon as he got on the imperial chariot, a palace attendant came to report that the Empress Dowager was summoned urgently, and asked what was the matter, but he couldn't say one, two, three, five, and said he was in a hurry. Thinking that it might be that matter, Shi Min didn't even change the court clothes Then I went directly to Yongshou Palace.

When she rushed to Yongshou Palace in a hurry, Wen Yu sat on the main seat in court clothes, his face was pale, completely different from his gentle and smiling personality in the past.

"Respectfully, my mother, the queen mother, Wanfu Jinan." Shi Min, who had already guessed the reason in his heart, stepped forward to salute very calmly and calmly as usual.

Wen Yu, who usually wouldn't let Shi Min perform the full salute, didn't make any move today, but waited for a long time before saying: "Excuse me, everyone else will retreat." "Yes" Lu Guanchu, Chief Dian and others all retreated , the door was closed, and there were only two people sitting and standing in the hall.

Wen Yu frowned and went straight to the point: "I am your mother's queen and Zhiyuan's aunt. It is inevitable for Zhiyuan to make some mistakes when he is still young, but he is not responsible for the money and life. Now he has been deprived of the prince If he is in the position, he will be imprisoned for the rest of his life to make atonement, so why must he die?".

Shi Min thought to himself: Sure enough.

After thinking for a while, I wondered: "I know that my mother thinks highly of my cousin, and I can't bear to see his decapitated body, so why not? She is not only my cousin, but also my attendant. The country went out with the army, and the days of studying and practicing martial arts together are still in front of us, I... ".

"Since that's the case, why did you let those officials sentence him to death?" Wen Yu interjected, feeling very puzzled. Since her daughter thought the same as her, why did she agree to the outcome of the case.

Facing his mother's dignified and expectant eyes, Shi Min choked up: "But my mother, my cousin is not greedy at 01:30, the land money plus the income from disrupting the market is a few 10 taels, which has already exceeded the red line of 5000 taels of silver." Even if he is dealt with under the honorable law, he will have to live for life, but he is no longer a nobleman. He did not commit murder, but he knows that the case is wronged but ignores it. How is it different from murder? If local officials are in power like him, Then the day when you and my mother and daughter die will not be far away."

"There is almost no external war in the empire, and no internal worries. The emperor is exaggerating. He grew up with you, even your servant and your cousin. Even if you don't care about him, you still have to see his mother." How sad it is for a white-haired man to give away a black-haired man for the love you have worked hard for this country for decades. Although he is no longer a nobleman, he is still a relative of the emperor. The sentencing is too heavy." Wen Yu was so angry that he didn't even call Shi Min's nickname.

What Wen Yu didn't say directly was that she still had face. She didn't look at the monk's face and the Buddha's face. Her daughter has become an emperor, but she can't even save her nephew's life. What's the point of being a queen mother.

Seeing Wen Yu's hands trembling with anger, Shi Min didn't know whether to continue talking. Wen Yu has always taken good care of her and loved her for so many years. She has already regarded Wen Yu as another mom.

But even if the first emperor passed away and her younger sister was kidnapped by a rebellious minister, she had never seen Wen Yu so angry. She was afraid that she would be so angry that she hesitated to continue the speech she had prepared.

She had expected this scene a long time ago, so whether it was the propaganda of the New Daily or the campaign in the capital, she ordered it to occupy the commanding heights of public opinion and overwhelm those who wanted to plead for Wen Zhiyuan.

If he didn't continue talking, I'm afraid Wen Yu wouldn't let it go, so Shi Min had no choice but to say again: "The anger hurts the body, mother, calm down, don't be angry."

"If you are really thinking about my health, let them retrial, according to the Bayi and Nobility Law, and no longer take the official law as the main one." Wen Yu, who was in a rage, didn't follow her way today.

"Mother, the Xin Daily has already been sold. I'm afraid that everyone in the capital will know about it. If I announce a retrial at this time, I'm afraid that the emperor's majesty will be gone like a sunset in the west. Come back." Knowing that Wen Yu was in a fit of anger at this time, Shi Min's tone was very gentle.

Although Wen Yu doesn't meddle in political affairs very much, he also understands the truth of the emperor's golden words. After thinking for a while, he sighed and said: "I know that you have your own difficulties as an emperor, but my requirements are not high. He just survived."

"My queen, I can spare my cousin's life, but most of the current laws are revised by my sons and ministers. If there are laws that are not followed, the foundation of our dynasty's rule of law will disappear. At that time, the prestige of the court will be gone. Who will listen to my son?" Your order? It's because cousin Rao's fate is a minor matter. If it leads to the failure of the New Deal reform, it will only take a few years for the Huachao Building to collapse. My son begs the queen mother to think twice." Shi Min saluted again earnestly. ?
