Lonely non-good minister

She was very enthusiastic and cared for a while before leaving. Then she turned around and came to the study to find Song Fu.

Song Fu rarely went home. Every time he came back, he would check on the children's homework. At this moment, he was in the study room asking about the situation of the teacher who taught the children.

Fifth Sister-in-law waited patiently for him to finish asking before going in. When she walked to the desk, she whispered: "I thought you brothers were handsome enough, but I didn't expect Uncle Nine to be even better. I just said When I went to visit him, his frail appearance was really distressing."

"Ms. Shen is extremely beautiful. It's no surprise that he has a good life." Song Fu carefully looked at the homework sent by his husband. The children's handwriting was still immature, but they had made obvious progress.

The fifth sister-in-law gave him a gentle push: "I think it's better than those born by several little girls at home."

Song Fu frowned slightly and looked at her: "What exactly do you want to say?"

"Just chatting." Fifth Sister-in-law paused: "Is Uncle Nine getting engaged?"

She just asked, and Song Fu put down what he was holding: "Don't make any plans for his marriage. Although his father has canceled the marriage that the late emperor had arranged for him, the prince cares about him and is determined to match him with a prominent family." If you talk to him casually about your marriage, you will annoy the prince."

"That's it." The fifth sister-in-law was a little disappointed: "That's fine, it's just a pity. It would be great if she was so beautiful. It would be a girl. I don't know how many people will be obsessed with her."

Song Fu picked up the child's homework and said in a calm tone: "If she is a girl, she is just a chess piece used by the father to win people's hearts. What good is it?"

The fifth sister-in-law was silent. She knew that Song Fu was thinking of his own sister, the third princess, who was married away. The innocent and romantic girl married a foolish, filial and arrogant husband. Emperor Hongming was bent on winning over people, but he did not support her. Less than two years after her marriage, she became a zombie, relying solely on her children to survive.

He waited until Emperor Hongming ascended the throne and his brother was knighted. Under the arrangement of Song Fu, he took his children and stayed away from the big family on the pretext of rest. Even so, his body and bones were much worse. He is very sick, but he still has the bright and cheerful spirit of the past.

After looking at the child's homework, Song Fu continued: "Concubine Shen has a good relationship with her mother. She has taken care of her mother all these years when we were away. Now that Yuan'er is sick, we should take good care of her."

"You don't need to tell me these words, I understand in my heart." Sister-in-law Wu agreed readily and left.

After recuperating at their home for a few days, Song Yuan's high fever finally stopped recurring, but his body was so weak that he felt dizzy even after getting out of bed and taking a few steps. He could only rest on the pillow to recuperate.

The guard came in with a few official documents in his hand. He didn't see Wei Yan. He only saw Song Yuan holding his head and closing his eyes to rest. As he was about to go out, he was stopped: "If you have anything to say, don't delay."

"The official document sent by Jingzhao shows that the criminals sentenced to exile this year have arrived in the northwest. The escort officials came to ask how these people will be resettled."

Song Yuan opened his eyes and was confused for a moment: "Are you sure it's for me?"

"The matter of exile is not directly under the control of the military." The guard didn't understand very well: "My subordinates asked the escort officials, and they said they would send him here."

Song Yuan always felt that something was wrong. Song Run was not here now, and Song Fu was in charge. The escort came to Song Fu's house to deliver something. It seemed more reasonable to say that it was for Song Fu, but what the guard said was right. , the issue of exile was not directly under the control of the military, and she was recuperating here, so it made sense to be sent here.

"Bring it to me and take a look." Song Yuan sat up, took the official document and looked at it carefully. The more she looked at it, the more confused she became: "These 28 circled names are all women, what are they circled for?"

The guard shook his head, he didn't know why.Song Yuan discovered that there was a series of small words written in fine writing next to it: All of them had been eliminated and were diagnosed as dead of illness.

"The dead must be exiled?" Song Yuan felt that he must be sick and confused, otherwise he would not be able to ask such a stupid question.

The guard was also confused by the question. He obviously didn't know this, and Song Yuan didn't embarrass him anymore: "Go and find Wei Yan. He should know very well. By the way, call in the escorting government servants. I have Just ask."

"Yes." The guard went immediately.

As soon as Wei Yan entered the room, he noticed that the color of the cover of the official document in Song Yuan's hand was wrong. He walked over anxiously and asked, "Where did the official document in Your Highness's hand come from?"

"It was just sent. I was about to ask you." Song Yuan picked up the other one: "Have you seen an official document of this color? Is the exile issue under my control?"

Wei Yan panicked and immediately said: "The exile will be dealt with directly by the army. These people who are exiled here will be put into the army to do hard labor."

"Although they are exiled here, their responsibilities are also divided into different levels. I think some of them are guilty of serious crimes and are used as hard labor, but others are just exiled. They can live here as common people without having to do hard labor. Is it reasonable to hand them over directly to the military? ?" Song Yuan expressed doubts about his words.

She is familiar with the laws of the Wei Dynasty and has the clearest judgment on these conditions. However, it is not that easy to fool her.

Wei Yan knew he couldn't defeat her, so he could only say: "I don't know about these subordinates, but this is how they were arranged in the past. I am afraid that Your Highness may have mistakenly received the things intended for the Fifth Master, so you should leave them to the Fifth Master."

While Song Yuan was still weighing his words, the guard announced that the escorting officials had arrived. Song Yuan simply said: "We've collected them all. It won't take more than an hour and a half. Call them in and I'll ask them carefully."

She still wanted to see the escorting government officials, and Wei Yan became more and more panicked. Some things were too dirty, and he secretly did not want Song Yuan to come into contact with them.

The escorting officer came in quickly, and Song Yuan asked him with an official document: "A total of 57 people were exiled to the northwest this year. Among them, the names of 28 women were individually circled, and annotation was made that they had all been extinguished and judged dead. , are all these 28 women dead?"

If someone died during the exile, the escorting officer would not be able to escape the blame. This question frightened the officer and said, "Sir, the person is still alive and well."

"Then why is it noted like this?" Song Yuan asked: "Where are they? I think they are all the family members of the guilty ministers, and they are interrogated together. Even in the book, there are no serious crimes among them. According to the laws of the Wei Dynasty, even if they have to be punished Doing hard labor is just a derogatory job in the northwest, so how can you say that your family has disappeared?"

The Yamen servant was stunned: "According to the custom, the exiled female relatives have been recruited into the army, and the death of their relatives is also the above meaning."

Song Yuan blinked and his face became solemn and serious: "Women are not allowed to enter the army without permission, so what are you doing by recruiting female relatives into the army? Where are they?"

The escorting government officer was startled: "The person has been taken away."

After being taken away, Song Yuan felt a chill in her heart. She raised her hand to stop Wei Yan who was about to speak: "I don't want to hear any explanation now. You go and bring everyone back now, immediately, immediately!"
