imprinted you in my heart

Seeing that Wen Yu was reading seriously and didn't intend to speak, Shi Min didn't want to disturb him, but it would definitely be inconvenient for him to talk later. Lu Guanchu and the others knew it, so they waved them away.

Wen Yu felt that after Shi Min sat next to her, he couldn't look in, but he didn't want to speak first, so he held it all in one breath.

The palace lantern illuminated the hall brightly, and the orange light shone on the two of them. One pretended to be reading a book, and the other was thinking about how to speak. The censer was winding its way up, and Shi Yan finally found the book in Wen Yu's hand for a long time. Without turning the page, he asked tentatively: "Can the queen mother let Erchen say a few words?".

With a snap, Wen Yu closed the book and threw it on the coffee table, "Speak, let me listen."

"Cousin's matter is a foregone conclusion. Even if there are immortal gods alive, I'm afraid I can't recover from it. My son is at fault. Even if the mother beats and scolds my son, why bother to get angry and hurt yourself." Shi Min put it on his knees after finishing speaking. His hands were a little at a loss.

It's not that she hasn't persuaded Wenyu, nor has she admitted her mistakes, but Wenyu always talks about him every time, but in the end he can only let it go. Seeing that she and Bu Qianxue are about to get married, she really can't When I thought of it, there was still a thorn between the mother and the queen.

Wen Yu, who had a natural look on his face, changed his face when he heard the words, and after thinking for a long time, he turned his head to look at his anxious daughter, and finally couldn't bear it, and said sadly: "I'm not angry with you, I'm angry with myself. If he hadn't been so decisive when he first went to see him, or had given him a little hope, he wouldn't have taken that step."

Wen Yu liked Wen Zhiyuan and Wen Zhimian's two juniors very much, and she knew them a little bit, but only a little, far less than her understanding of her daughter, so she knew that as long as she didn't let go of her mouth and mentioned it a few more times, her daughter In the end, she will definitely compromise, because she doesn't ask much, as long as Wen Zhiyuan's life can be saved, which is not difficult for her daughter.

She even guessed that her daughter couldn't bear it and that if she forgave Wen Zhiyuan, she hoped that he would change his mind and stop doing these things that were not good for the country or the people, so the only time she went to see Wen Zhiyuan, she said A lot of heavy words, originally intended to hit one or two, but unexpectedly turned into a reminder, this is what she did not expect.

At first, she was more angry with her daughter, because she felt that if her daughter pardoned Wen Zhiyuan's death penalty earlier, he would not go to extremes and would be able to survive, so she became a little estranged from her daughter afterwards.

As time went by, she became less and less angry with her daughter, and more and more angry with herself, because she finally realized that if she hadn't gone to see Wen Zhimian and said those things, maybe he wouldn't have left extreme.

When she realized this, she thought about having a good chat with her daughter, but her daughter was too busy, so she sent people to inquire several times, either dealing with political affairs or with Bu Qianxue, so she stopped thinking.

Once the strength is over, her courage will also be weak, especially when she deliberately distanced herself from her daughter, she couldn't hold back that face, so she simply held it.

As for advocating Taoism, it is just that she is looking for a peace of mind for her own soul, and doing her best for the Empress Dowager and Wen Zhiyuan.

If she didn't go back to Wen's house, she would have no face to go back. Although she had never promised Wen's family that Wen Zhiyuan would survive, she was her own nephew after all, so she couldn't help but feel guilty.

Wen Zhiyuan's death made Wen Zhimian grow up a lot. In the past, seeing her was more intimate than respectful, but now it is more respectful than intimate, and the number of times he went to the palace to see her was much less than before. At this time, she lost her former agility and cuteness, which made her both gratified and heartbroken.

If Wen Zhiyuan hadn't died, Wen Zhimian might not have become like this, so she was even more angry with herself, wishing to meditate several times a day and do more homework so that she could gain some peace of mind.

Wen Yu's idea was seen by Shi Min, and she persuaded her several times to no avail. Today she came prepared, and she used the water to read her mind. She thought her mother hated her, but she found out that her mother hated her Any more, and it's a little more difficult.

Shi Min thought for a while before comforting him: "Mother, what happened to my cousin was just an accident. Don't blame yourself too much. If it is really a responsibility, my son's crime is even greater. If I issue an amnesty earlier or reveal something to him, he will be punished." I wouldn't have come to that step. I really didn't expect him to go to extremes. If I had known earlier, I would have stopped it. As you said, after all, she is my cousin and the attendant who grew up with me. I How can you bear it?" The voice became more and more choked.

The more Wen Yu listened, the more sad she became, and then she began to cry silently. Her daughter's words touched her heart, she said everything she thought, and took all the faults on herself. If there is any dissatisfaction, face or something is not important.

In the hearts of all officials, Shi Min, who is cold-hearted and hard-hearted, is actually very scary when she is sad, especially after the person she cares about cries, if no outsiders are around, she can cry along with comfort.

The teacher taught her to not show emotions, to shed blood without tears, and not to lose the dignity of the emperor. She can score the situation here, and she can do it without any discount for outsiders, but for the closest family members, Lover, she could never do it.

She is not a machine, she is a human, so she can cry, laugh, have emotions, and even have the experience of crying and trembling silently under the quilt. Although she has not spoken to others, it does not mean that it has not happened.

Seeing that her daughter was also crying, Wen Yu comforted herself, but she was embarrassed to cry again, and instead comforted her daughter, the two of them wiped away the few tears with a handkerchief and controlled their emotions. After crying, they were stuck between the two. The thorn in the middle of the person was gone, and he took his daughter's hand affectionately and said: "It's hard for you during this time, mother is on the tip of her horns, and you are worried."

As the saying goes, there is no overnight feud between mother and daughter, not to mention that Wen Yu and the two have no feud at all. They were a little angry at first, but later they couldn't save face, and after all, Shi Min was the flesh that fell from her body. It is impossible to hate anyone and really hate yourself. daughter.

"Mother can rest assured when she figured it out. Fate will come and go. He made his choice, and we should live our own lives well." Shi Min comforted, seeing that Wen Yu's face softened a lot. My heart was relieved.

What they all knew but didn't say is that Wen Zhiyuan's actions can be regarded as saving his family. He squandered a lot of his greedy money, the Wen family paid a lot of money, and paid a fine. For a capital crime, the Wen family must pay something more.

His death not only preserved the Wen family, but also saved Shi Mian from being entangled, and fulfilled the majesty of the New Deal and the law.

Because of this, she also rewarded Wen Zhimian a lot of things in private, not much less than the large fines she paid, and gave her the privilege to ask to see herself at any time. I gave it to her.

If it is said that Wen Zhimian in the past really didn't know the heights of heaven and earth, then she has really matured a lot now, and her old friends no longer play together, and she is very respectful every time she enters the palace.

Every time she saw Wen Zhimian who was cautious in front of her, just like those ministers of civil and military affairs, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She is not a tiger, and she doesn't eat people, so why would she be afraid of being like that? .

After saying that, nothing changed, so Shi Min didn't say anything, after all, she was also responsible for her brother's death, maybe it will return to the way it was before after a long time.

The conversation was over, the knot was untied, the mother and daughter talked a lot, as if they wanted to make up for all the intimate words they hadn't said for so long, Wen Yu didn't let Shi Min go back to rest until late at night.

Shi Min went back to Fengde Palace but did not rest immediately, but met with Guo Fanqiu. Although the old dean's family was still not found, the case finally made some progress, and the people who found out were all desperate people. .

These people rarely get together, unless they have a common boss, it seems that the person who started this is a rich man, otherwise they can't afford so many people.

Although the old dean has already retired and returned home, he is still a nobleman after all, and he is valued by the emperor. The local officials dare not hide it. After the search failed, they reported it to the court immediately. So he sent a Dali Temple official to assist in the investigation.

It is said to be assistance, but in fact, as long as the Daliguan officials who are good at investigating cases go down, none of them are really deputy. Instead, they all say what they say.

It is estimated that the people sent there will soon arrive at the scene of the crime. By then, there will be people investigating in both the dark and the dark. She does not believe that this mysterious disappearance case will not be solved.

In the early morning of the next day, the Inspectorate summed up the gains and losses in the matter of inspecting honored nobles. After nearly two years of unremitting efforts by the Inspectorate and various local inspectorates, the Inspectorate, nobles, clans, powerful and wealthy businessmen across the country were investigated. Carpet check.

Anyone whose number of servants exceeds the standard stipulated in the law will be fined per head and ordered to rectify within three days.

Anyone who deliberately conceals the number of fields and property in his hometown, and has not been reported during the "Collusion Order", will be punished according to the law.

As for the clans, tycoons, and wealthy businessmen who are evil, in addition to fines and punishments according to the law, the rest who have not been punished will be separated and migrated separately according to regulations. Those in the south will migrate to the north, and those in the north will migrate to the south. at least one province in between.

The powerful clans separated their families and left their domineering homeland, so they were no longer local snakes. If they went to other places, they would become phoenixes that are not as good as chickens. It would be nice if they could live a good life.

It took nearly three years to complete this work alone, and the results are naturally obvious. First, a large number of middle-aged laborers were returned to their homes, which enriched the labor force for farming; Doing business promotes economic development.

The second is that there are no powerful bullies on the evil side, the local politics is clear, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and there is a stable and safe environment conducive to economic development.

The third is to deter the honored nobles, so that they no longer dare to take chances, reduce the support for the implementation of the New Deal, and prevent them from violating the New Deal, and dare not discount it when it is implemented.

The honored nobles are not obedient sheep. If it were not for the examples of Braque and Shi Shuang, some people might rebel. After all, mobilizing their interests is no different from killing them, but the real difference is between life and money. Choose one, and it is estimated that you will seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. After all, money can be earned again, and there is only one life.

In the final analysis, it was the military strength during the Halloween contest that made them dare not mess around again. Needless to say, the combat effectiveness of the internal and external imperial forces, the frontier army is not a soft persimmon, even the guards recruited later, that is, the guards. They are easy to provoke, and they all directly obey the emperor's orders. Who dares to say that they have more people in their hands than the emperor's?

Seeking death is not such a way, who would think that their own life is too long?

Of course, in the court, it is impossible for officials to say these things, and they say it so clearly, but everyone understands it in their hearts, and there are many advantages on the bright side, and the shortcomings have become routine. Those few.

After the "Collection of Reports" made a fuss, in the past two years, it has checked and made up for the omissions again. There are not a few wealthy and powerful businessmen who have been fined for exceeding the specifications and fees, so the treasury has really not been short of money in recent years. Only then can we have the ability to implement three-year free education and give back to the society.

These rich and powerful businessmen can only admit that they are unlucky. After Gaozu set the rules, they followed them very well, but after the emperors gradually slackened their political affairs, they became more courageous. Chao Yue, everyone is pretty much the same, and with the idea that the law does not blame the public, he thinks he is very courageous.

But they forgot that His Majesty is not one who cherishes reputation, strictly abides by the law and does not blame the public. Otherwise, he would not have taken advantage of the limelight to change the court and promoted many people from the local area before he was enthroned.

Because of the thunderous tactics of the Inspectorate and the Inspector's Office, they have been in the limelight for the past two years, and the upper echelon's face changed when they heard about it.

On the surface they didn't dare to say anything about Shi Min, but most of them complained about her in private and in their hearts, thinking that she likes to torment them in all kinds of noble families, and now she is even more powerful, even the powerful and wealthy businessmen are not spared. Simply insane.

Shi Min also knew that she didn't like them, and she didn't care, as long as the treasury was rich, the common people liked it, and she had never treated them badly, and the rich and powerful businessmen who were punished were all those who broke the law and did tax evasion. Well, she has a clear conscience.

Although she has a clear conscience, she can't just give the big stick and not the date, so at the beginning of this year, she asked the Ministry of Officials to revise and improve the imperial order system to give Zu Xun nobles face. put into action. ?
