After the rebirth, the queen took the Meiqiang tragedy script

Chapter 28 Exile
At the beginning of the new year, it snowed for three consecutive days.However, no matter how cold the weather is, it can't stop Chen's popularity.

In front of the Chen's mansion, welcomes and send-offs are coming every day, and there is an endless stream of BMW carved cars.Some officials with lower ranks have to wait outside the door for a long time in order to send a congratulatory sticker.

"Why are there so many people this year? It seems to me that there are still people from the Ministry of War. What are they doing here instead of going to Gu's mansion?" Among the people queuing at the door was a young man in a brocade jacket and a black and red hat on his head. The alternate hood, with sleeves and hands still frozen in the cold wind, haha, I couldn't help complaining to my colleagues around me.

"You don't know?" The young man dressed in rich and noble clothes approached his ear and said in a low voice, "Gu Ge is always going to lose power."

"Are you talking about the Ministry of Rites?"

"It's not just the Ministry of Rites. I heard that this Chen's mansion will be the Guozhang's mansion in the future."

"You mean?"

"That's right. I heard that the emperor paid a private visit to Chen's mansion a few years ago, and he took a fancy to the paintings of Miss Chen's mansion, and praised her as the most talented person in the past and present. This marriage will be settled immediately."

"Heh, in my opinion, what the emperor likes is not necessarily Miss Chen's talent in painting and calligraphy, but Lord Shoufu's ability to govern the country."

"It doesn't matter what he is looking at, anyway, this matter has been rumored in the whole city of Shengjing recently, and it is probably close to ten."

"What about Mr. Gu Ge? No movement?"

"How can there be no movement, I must have been unable to sit still. Just watch, the two sides will definitely fight more fiercely in the next year."

……

Although the rumors in the market are exaggerated, they are by no means groundless.

In fact, within a few days of the opening of the court on the fifth day of the lunar new year, Ye Qinghuai's desk had already piled up several notebooks for playing Chen Yuansi.Several excerpts have different angles, and the ideas are clear and strange. One of them even listed in detail the ratio of males and females of the direct descendants of the Chen family, so as to point out that the Chen family's yin is prosperous and yang is weak, and it is difficult to have boys.

For the first time, Ye Qinghuai felt grateful to the cabinet for reviewing the papers for her.I don't know how many more outrageous memorials than this are usually read by the cabinet.

Along with these notebooks that participated in Chen Yuansi's performance, there were also the case files of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

The Ministry of Criminal Justice acted vigorously this time, and in just one month, the case of leaking the scientific examination questions was concluded.

A total of eight people from the Ministry of Rites were involved in the case. The principal culprit, Shi Taiping, and all the accomplices were exiled and dismissed.

Interestingly, Ye Qinghuai saw Wang Lisong's name again in the list of accomplices.And in his punishment, it is also stated that he was exiled to Leizhou Coal Mine to serve hard labor, which is the same as the result of the joint trial of the three divisions.

The difference is that this time it is a case handled by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and Ye Qinghuai's imperial pen is not required to order it to be executed.

That is to say, even if Ye Qinghuai still dragged the official document of the joint trial of the three divisions without a seal to report it, Wang Lisong will be exiled this time.

Not to mention whether Wang Lisong can reach Leizhou alive, even if he can reach Leizhou alive, at his age of more than 60 years old, he may be gone before digging coal for a few days.

Ye Qinghuai had mentioned twice before that she would go to the prison for inspection, but was persuaded to leave by the courtiers.

It can be seen that this Wang Lisong is indeed inaccessible unless he is robbed of prison.

Ye Qinghuai then began to think about how to start with Song Zhe.

While she was thinking hard, an unexpected person appeared.

Li Wenqing returned to court.

After being "ill" for more than a month, Li Wenqing appeared in court again.

He has lost a lot of weight, and in his early thirties, he looks like a man who is nearly fifty years old.

Throughout the morning, he didn't say a word, just like a still life in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, he stood there motionless for half an hour.

After the court, Ye Qinghuai asked Li Baoquan to find an excuse and called him to the Qinxian Hall to face the saint.

Seeing Ye Qinghuai, Li Wenqing saluted dully, then stuck there like a log again.

"Li Qing, you have been sick for more than a month. Why do you look more haggard today when I look at you? Are you really cured?" Seeing that he didn't speak, Ye Qinghuai warmly greeted him first.

Unexpectedly, Li Wenqing remained silent. He looked down at the ground, his eyes were loose, and his eyes were as silent as ashes.

Ye Qinghuai winked at Li Baoquan who was beside him, Li Baoquan understood immediately, went down with the attendants, and closed the palace door firmly before leaving.

"Li Qing, there is no one here, you can say whatever you want, I will make the decision for you." Ye Qinghuai said solemnly.

Clinker, as soon as she said this, Li Wenqing suddenly knelt down with a plop.

He kowtowed heavily on the ground, and said: "I beg Your Majesty to grant this minister a death."

What's happening here?
Ye Qinghuai was startled, frowned and asked, "Why did Li Qing say that?"

Li Wenqing didn't speak again, he knelt on the ground, his thin body looked like a piece of dead wood.

Ye Qinghuai gave a short laugh: "Heh, you have to have a reason for wanting me to kill you. Did you commit corruption and pervert the law, or did you commit a crime of disobedience? What crime is so heinous that it is a death sentence? Lift your head and answer my words."

Li Wenqing raised his head, but he didn't dare to look at Ye Qinghuai. He looked down at the dark red carpet in front of him, and said, "Your Majesty, I have heard that sages say that filial piety is the beginning of virtue; loyalty is the beginning of virtue." It’s right. Now that loyalty and filial piety cannot be achieved, I don’t want to live in the world, so I beg Your Majesty to give me a death sentence.”

"Why can't we have both? Li Qing, I don't understand your words."

Li Wenqing paused for a moment, then replied: "Your Majesty, there is a sixty-year-old mother on the top of my humble minister, and a young child on the bottom. There is only one seedling left on the lintel of Li's family. I really can't ignore the incense of Li's family. This minister is all gone." If you are filial and righteous, you will not be able to be loyal to the country, you will really be in debt to the emperor, and you will have no face to face the Holy One."

As he spoke, tears welled up in his eyes, and he knocked his head heavily on the ground again.

Ye Qinghuai's face turned cold, and her voice also turned cold: "Is someone threatening your family?"

It was Li Wenqing's motionless figure prostrate on the ground who answered her.

She sighed deeply.

She had expected such a situation.

The person who kidnapped Li Wenqing was able to release him, so he was absolutely sure.

After a while, Ye Qinghuai said: "Wang Lisong will be exiled to Leizhou. He won't live long."

She seemed to be speaking to Li Wenqing, but also seemed to be speaking to herself.

Ye Qinghuai glanced down at Li Wenqing, and saw that his folded hands on the carpet had clenched into fists at some point.

It took a long time before Li Wenqing choked out a sentence: "I beg Your Majesty to grant my minister a death."

His voice was hoarse, as if suppressed crying.This is the third time he has said this today.

An unknown fire ignited in Ye Qinghuai's heart. She has always been annoyed by these civil servants who always say "death" on their lips. They look loyal and fearless. In fact, they can't relieve her worries, but they mean to persecute her. more.

She grabbed Li Wenqing's shoulders, took his court clothes and forced him to look up at her.

"Listen to me, I won't give you death, and you don't want to seek death." She stared into Li Wenqing's eyes and said word by word, "What's the use of your death? If you die, Wang Lisong will live Is it? If you die, the wicked will be able to subdue the law? If you die, will the government and the opposition be peaceful? I tell you, you think too highly of yourself, and these things will never happen! If you die, you are dead. Damn it Those who are greedy are still doomed, those who should be greedy are still greedy, and your death is not even worthy of being a topic of conversation after dinner."

Li Wenqing's tearful eyes were only a few inches away from Ye Qinghuai, and Ye Qinghuai saw that his red eyes were full of fear.

"I will tell you what will happen after you die. After you die, your wife and children are left unattended. Your wife has to work day and night to support your son to study. Your mother misses you day and night. I fell ill within a few years, and the people who used to take care of your family for your sake have disappeared, and even tried to find ways to distribute the assets you left behind."

Perhaps it was because Ye Qinghuai's words were too miserable. Li Wenqing's dull eyes shed tears, completely helpless, like a terrified and tortured poor man.

Seeing his appearance, Ye Qinghuai also felt that she had spoken too seriously, and most of her anger was extinguished immediately.She let go of Li Wenqing's hand, stood up, turned to stand with her hands behind her back, and said, "In this world, death is the most useless thing. Li Wenqing, don't you want to be loyal and filial?" Is it? I will tell you how to have both loyalty and filial piety. If you live well, you have both loyalty and filial piety. When you live, it is to make your relatives happy and your enemies painful."

Ye Qinghuai was silent for a long while before turning her head to look at him. Seeing that he was still hanging her head down, she was worried that he would not be able to listen. She hanged herself with a rope after meeting Sheng, so she asked, "Understood?" Yet?"

Li Wenqing lowered his body a few more inches, and replied: "This humble minister leads the decree."

His voice had returned to clarity, and Ye Qinghuai felt relieved.

"As for Wang Lisong, I will think of another way. It's not something you should worry about." After speaking, Ye Qinghuai paused, and said, "Go, it's not good to stay here for a long time."

Li Wenqing stood up, bowed to Ye Qinghuai, looked up at her, and met the emperor's concerned gaze, his heart skipped a beat.

Ye Qinghuai's voice softened, and said: "I don't want to reward you at this time, it's easy to attract people's eyes and ears. You go back and take good care of your body, and the court will definitely use you for a day. At that time , don’t come to tell me about sick leave again.”

After finishing speaking, she patted Li Wenqing's shoulder lightly, and gave him an encouraging smile.

Li Wenqing looked at her, his eyes seemed to be revived, and a little spark was ignited again.

"I would like to obey His Majesty's instructions, and I will definitely protect myself and be loyal to the country." He kowtowed again, and then retreated, leaving the Qinxian Palace.

After Li Wenqing left, the room became quiet again.

Ye Qinghuai sat alone in the room, lost in thought.

It seems that in Wang Lisong's matter, Song Zhe must be found to break the situation.

But outside the palace wall, who can she use, who can she trust?Both the Forbidden Army and the Ministry of Criminal Justice are in the hands of Gu Shihai. To find someone in the capital is equivalent to looking for someone under Gu Shihai's nose, which is absolutely beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Ye Qinghuai has only two choices right now.Either Chen Yuansi or Lu Yanchen.

But these two people made her feel dangerous.

Ye Qinghuai felt a little tight in her chest from being baked by the stove in the house, she walked to the window, pushed open the wooden window, and the cold wind outside the window rushed towards her face.

Ye Qinghuai raised her eyes and saw a branch of red plums in full bloom in the corner of the courtyard, with a little fragrance soaked in the cold wind, which lifted her spirits.

Ye Qinghuai couldn't help saying with emotion: "Keep the taste of the soup, and let him be deceived by the wind and snow. It must be plum blossoms. It's a pity that I don't even have a virtuous minister with plum and bamboo in my dynasty." ?"
