Rebirth: Remarrying the Emperor's Uncle

Chapter 128 Royal Family (Part )
Zhao Chen returned to the Prince's Mansion.

Although the small courtyard is remote and looks dilapidated, the courtyard is tidy and the stone steps in front of the corridor are as clean as new.

The palace room is spotless, the bedding on the bed is neatly stacked, the jade-white curtains are lightly pulled with copper hooks, and a bronze mirror is randomly placed on the dressing table, as if someone has always lived here.

The desk in front of the window is slanted yellow, and a copy of the "Ksitigarbha Sutra" is quietly lying on it.

Zhao Chen sat quietly beside the desk, with a black scarf covering his eyes, looking at a plum tree outside the window, he could vaguely see the light shadows of the branches.

As the twilight gradually rises, that faint shadow is no longer visible.

He fell into the boundless darkness.

Even if Wei Xiao lit a candle, he could only see that little yellow light flickering in the abyss.

"Wei Xiao, if a person dies with resentment in his heart, will he still enter the six realms of reincarnation?"

Wei Xiao thought for a while, "I heard that if there is too much resentment, the soul may break free from the traction of karma, and refuse to enter reincarnation and forget the past life. It's just that if you didn't have much cultivation before you were alive, and you didn't have the ability of gods and Buddhas, you might become that lonely soul." Are you a ghost?"

Zhao Chen turned his head to look at him, but only vaguely saw a huge black shadow blocking the light.

"It doesn't seem like something you can say, who did you listen to?"

Wei Xiao smiled, "The crown prince's eyes are as bright as a torch. Once the king of Jin and the empress dowager were talking about Buddhism, and the humble official happened to be waiting nearby, so I listened to a few words."

"Dharma."

Zhao Chen turned his head, looked out of the window again and stopped talking.

There were very light footsteps in the yard.

He cannot see, but he can hear.

Those who dare to come to the small courtyard to disturb him are only those who have to come.

Shi Liangzhong, the chief of the prince's residence, walked outside the study, cupped his hands and said, "Prince, the emperor asked you to enter the palace."

Sure enough, it was passed on to him.

He knew that dealing with Marquis Yongping would be resisted by his father, so he never went to the palace to pay his respects these days.

As long as Yongpinghou's charges are solidly proved, and after the trial of the three divisions, the father will admit it if he denies it.

He asked, "Has Marquis Yongping left the palace yet?"

Liang Zhongdao, "Going back to the crown prince, when the eunuch was ordered to leave the palace, he stayed in the side hall of the imperial study."

"He's smart."

Zhao Chen helped the case and got up.

When leaving the hall, there was no guard against the threshold under his feet, so Zhao Chen staggered and rushed out, taking a few steps to stabilize.

Wei Xiao sighed secretly.

The prince has been acting strange recently.Come to this broken yard every day without saying anything, and blindfolded.

He thought about it, but he didn't understand why.

Experience the life of a blind man?
Zhao Chen slowly tore off the black scarf, and saw light again.

How many times did she fall?How many times did you hit again?
The twilight is soft, the sky is low.

Under the dark sky, the Great Zhou Palace across the river from the Prince's Mansion was brightly lit, majestic and majestic.

Royal study.

Incense is burning in the purple gold incense burner with dragon patterns. Although it is early winter, the incense is still filled with refreshing mint, which is very cool.

Emperor Qingming was diligent in his administration. In the seventeen years since he ascended the throne, he has never broken an early court.

All previous emperors had the cabinet share government affairs, sort and review memorials, and only submit those important ones that the emperor should read personally to the imperial study desk.But Emperor Qingming preferred to do it himself, even if the cabinet made a review, he had to read it again.

He flipped through the thick file, with no emotion on his face.

Zhao Chen recognized that it belonged to Dali Temple.

Before he came, the Minister of Dali Temple and the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment had just left.

Emperor Qingming raised his head and glanced at him, "Is the injury on your arm okay? Let your mother and concubine know, so I should nagging you again."

Zhao Chen said respectfully, "Thank you for your love, father. My son has been taught martial arts by his father since he was a child. He has been doing morning exercises all these years and dare not slack off. This injury is nothing."

Emperor Qingming hummed lightly, "The crown prince is very attentive in handling the case, and he didn't even want his life."

Zhao Chen cupped his hands and said, "As a son of man, you should observe filial piety, and as a minister, you should share your worries. This case is of great importance, and the Chen family is loyal. If it is not handled carefully, it will damage the name of the emperor as a wise king. , It will also chill the hearts of the ministers, and the ministers dare not slack off."

Emperor Qingming squinted at him, "Isn't it because of that girl from the Chen family? These days, you've been very attentive to that girl."

Zhao Chen was silent, "I can't hide it from my father. My son was very happy when he first met the Zhaoping county lord. My son is so devoted to the trial, it is for the public and also for private."

Emperor Qingming raised his eyebrows slightly, with a strong sense of scrutiny.

"You are the crown prince, no matter if you are the main concubine or the side concubine, you should choose the noble daughter of the noble family. She is just a merchant girl, and her status is not enough. If you are reluctant to be a concubine, you shouldn't put too much thought on her." .”

Zhao Chen met his gaze calmly, cupped his hands and said, "I have been empty in the backyard for many years, just waiting for that one-hearted person. I don't care about her background."

Emperor Qingming stroked the jade wrench finger.

The prince chooses a concubine to find help for himself. Even if he doesn't look for a general with a heavy hand, he should look for a civil servant with real power.

Don't dare on the surface, but secretly try to make things happen.

But the crown prince just asked for an order to marry Chen Youning so directly, which made him unable to understand.

Really infatuated?
"Miss Han Qingwan of Duke Ding's mansion is judged by a Taoist priest, born with the fate of the phoenix, and has the support of her uncle, Duke Ding. It is only right for you to marry her as a concubine. Duke Ding must be loyal to you for his niece, Take good care of this country for you."

Zhao Chen knelt down, "I don't dare! Duke Ding should be loyal to his father, and he should guard his country! Han Qingwan's virtue is at fault, and he ordered Geke to interfere with her husband's family and not to enter my Zhao family. !"

Emperor Qingming looked at his kneeling son.He spoke decisively, with a sincere expression, and it seemed that he had no intention of marrying a Phoenix girl.Looking at his recent actions, he was indeed cruel to Han Qingwan.You can't get to this point by pretending.

On the contrary, the third prince, Zhao Yin, was quite protective of Han Qingwan.

Phoenix girl, even if it's fake, she can still find out some sincerity.

He raised his hand, frowned and said, "Get up and talk, I'm just chatting with you about family affairs, why are you so nervous."

Zhao Chen thanked En and got up.

He doesn't know what the routines of father and son are like in ordinary people's households, but the household routines of the royal family are like walking on ice, and he doesn't know where to step on it.

He said, "My son is sincere to Zhaoping county magistrate, and I ask my father to fulfill it."

"I heard that the girl from the Chen family also went to the gate of the city, and she was with the King of Jin. The King of Jin sent clothes and guards, and it seemed that he was attracted to her. He is an elder, you can't talk to your emperor Uncle robs women." Emperor Qingming smiled, "If I agree with you, what should I do if your uncle asks me to settle the score?"

When Emperor Qingming mentioned Zhao Chengyuan, no matter who he was in front of, his partiality was beyond words.

Zhao Chen said, "If Uncle Seventh had a heart for her, he would not have rejected the marriage offer from the emperor before."

Emperor Qingming waved his hand, a little impatiently, "Let's not mention this matter for now. Now that girl doesn't have a serious elder to make decisions, let's talk about it when Duke Ding comes back."

Zhao Chen smiled wryly.

You Ning has a close relationship with the Seventh Emperor Uncle, if this drags on, how can I stop her heart?

Emperor Qingming finished talking about his family affairs, and then he talked about business affairs. He said solemnly, "However, public affairs and private affairs are still clearly distinguished. You are in charge of the case of exterminating the family, and you must not mix personal affairs."

He pointed to the dossier on the Long case, "I have already read this, and it would be too arbitrary to convict Yongping Hou based on the testimony of Hu Wende alone."

　Why every time the flag is erected will be slapped in the face...

　　If I don't say anything, the update will be more timely. .
