Wife's Observation Log

When Lan Wei walked with Xie Zhen all the way out of the palace, she still felt that she would relax occasionally, which was like a young couple. When she saw Emperor Changning's car driving, she was in a bad mood.She thought that after all, she would shout long live until she got to the mansion, so she would just follow Xie Zhen's footsteps as a follower, but she didn't expect that she would accompany her as soon as she arrived at the palace gate.

Xie Zhen stepped forward, pushed his hand high, bowed down standardly, and said: "Father."

Fortunately, Emperor Chang Ning had already simplified most of the rituals, so Lan Wei didn't have to kowtow, and bent over after Xie Zhen took a step, pushing her hands in front of her chest: "Your Majesty."

Emperor Changning nodded, his eyes stopped on Xie Zhen for a moment, and he got into the car with a "hmm".Xie Zhen straightened up and followed.Lan Wei never served Emperor Chang Ning very much, but luckily Tang Li was in charge of the trip today, he came to Lan Wei, and brought her to the right team with a few words, a few steps, and a few subtle guidance without showing any signs Location.

But Lan Wei didn't stand still in the queue, wondering what the father and daughter were arguing about inside, Li Song, Emperor Changning's servant, got out of the car and came towards her, saying: "The emperor is here."

This afternoon started to go wrong, Lan Wei regretted not answering, that is to say, even if invited by his girlfriend, he should not agree to her to disturb the water, and believed that anyone who found out that there would only be Emperor Changning and the empress in the car Both His Highness and myself will be like this.

The atmosphere when getting in the car was extremely weird. Emperor Changning turned his head and looked out the window, his face was cold and sullen. Xie Zhen also turned his head and looked out the window on the other side. Wei, ever since she was called in and Emperor Changning asked a few nonsense nonsense, there was only awkward silence in the carriage.

What the hell is going on?

Lan Wei couldn't figure it out.

Lan Wei's role as a mediator is probably just Emperor Changning's way to force Xie Zhen to speak. Xie Zhen couldn't stand Lan Wei's sad eyes, so he finally explained the previous things and asked Emperor Changning: "Father, what do you think?" "Even if the papers are laborious and political affairs are troublesome, we must focus on weighing the emperor's prime minister. This visit is unavoidable is a simple truth." But even so, why not Ruozhen take it on his behalf?"

Emperor Changning turned his gaze and paused on Xie Zhen: "Go back to the palace, Li Song—order to stop."

This kind of behavior may be regarded as the thunder of the emperor. Xie Zhen's earnest questioning before suddenly brought a little panic that didn't belong to her, and Lan Wei felt that her mind was probably numb.

Panicked to the point of embarrassment, even his gaze was a little erratic, eyes that shouldn't be impolite had already fixed on Emperor Changning's face, his expression was much more unpredictable than Xie Zhen's, and there was no sign of anger.

Xie Zhen had already knelt on the ground. Although he was a little caught off guard, he still reacted so as not to be dumbfounded like Lan Wei: "Father..."

"Since you don't understand, go back and watch." Emperor Changning raised his hand and waved his sleeves, making a loud noise. Only then did Lan Wei finally feel the lightning and sparks of thunder falling on the back of the carriage with the explosion. On the floor, Xie Zhen, who was kneeling on the floor, finally lowered his head, feeling extremely depressed.It was depression, not fear, especially since she was still kneeling in front of Emperor Changning, not giving up this advice and obeying the order to return to the palace.

Lan Wei looked at Emperor Changning, and Emperor Changning looked at Xie Zhen.This literati was not the founding emperor who was born as a courtier. Now he is in the end of middle age, but he has not lost the refined demeanor of his youth. After 20 years of high position, he does not smile and appears calm and pretentious.

Lan Wei had seen Emperor Changning's anger several times in the court hall. When he was angry, his body was buried. It was really terrible. In terms of the physical pain Xie Zhen suffered, Emperor Changning could definitely be called violent.But this time, after seeing Emperor Changning staring at Xie Zhen for a long time, Lan Wei's expression suddenly softened, his throat moved, and he said, "Get up."

Lan Wei suddenly realized that she should have worshiped Xie Zhen when she knelt down to be respectful, but the atmosphere was too scary just now, and it was too late to react now, so she could only hold her breath and pretend she was transparent .

Emperor Changning's order was obviously beyond Xie Zhen's expectation. She raised her head slightly, but before she stood up, Emperor Changning emphasized his tone: "You have bad knees, and your parents don't even understand this truth?"

Although Xie Zhen was in a kneeling position, her straight back suddenly trembled. She stood up with her lips pursed, and then sat back on her seat under the gesture of Emperor Changning's eyes. Lan Wei could feel that her emotions suddenly fluctuated greatly. This "strict father" has been caring for him for too long, and even this little bit of tenderness can move her to the point where she is speechless.

Most of this is due to Lan Wei's prejudice against Emperor Changning, so that she used the untrue "scratch" to express her hatred for Xie Zhen. , not much feedback.

"It's impossible to obstruct it again and again for no reason." Emperor Changning finally started talking in a negotiable tone.

"Hu Weiyong is very ambitious, and his behavior is close to domineering. My daughter just thinks that the father should be more careful when he goes to his 'old house' alone." Even if Lan Wei is not an insider, she can see that Xie Zhen didn't shake off his words. Emperor Changning let out a "hum" even more.

"I've been waiting for you for a whole day. From persuading me to be careful about my body to be careful about my safety, it's all false. Are you still not telling the truth?"

Xie Zhen closed his eyes, and let out a breath slowly: "I heard that there are vacancies in the soup and wine department recently, and Shangzhiwei is probably the same; Hu Weiyong's old house is located in the southernmost part of the city, not a place where officials gather, even wealthy businessmen I might not like it either. The neighborhood is empty, but the house is surrounded by tall trees. Only these two points were checked overnight yesterday, but there is no real evidence. According to the teaching of the father, one should not hesitate, but it is true..."

"I'm afraid I've taught you a little less." Emperor Changning frowned slightly, "I told you not to be hesitant, but I didn't tell you not to be skeptical. You are going to be an emperor. If you doubt anyone or anything in the world , you have the right to get rid of them, so why worry about nothing?”

Xie Zhen was really surprised this time, especially since today's Emperor Changning didn't directly attack him with sticks, and even made his words clear, she suddenly understood: "You intend to make him arrogant, and which Peigong is the emperor intending to do?" Woolen cloth?"

The amount of information in this conversation is a bit too much for Lan Wei. It's not that she doesn't understand, but she really shouldn't be there to listen.Xie Zhen said that someone in the personal guard was not there for emergency response, and Hu Weiyong's old house was hidden by tall trees and the environment was remote, meaning that Hu Weiyong might raise soldiers to ambush him.Emperor Changning was usually friendly to Hu Weiyong, but now he criticized Xie Zhen, saying that since it was possible, why didn't he just kill him directly, which shows that his previous friendship was just an appearance, and even now that he was invited, he probably set up a situation in reverse to get Hu Weiyong Luo Zhi to be imprisoned for treason .

"Kill Huaixi."

Xie Zhen raised her head to look at Emperor Changning, and the look in her eyes showed that she couldn't accept it. She definitely couldn't bear this kind of imperial domineering.The essence of the existence of cronies is first of all to deceive the upper and lower to grab benefits; secondly, to prevent the superiors from using knives, and to stop the court as much as possible through group non-violent non-cooperation, thereby forcing the superiors to compromise.

The Huaixi Group that Hu Weiyong belongs to expanded rapidly after Xu Da expressed his intention to kill, obviously it was the latter.In such a huge cronies, there must be some people who did not do evil but were tied to the boat because they were born in Huaixi, and it may even be because the superiors and subordinates are all Huaixi people and they are superficially linked in the faction.Like Xie Zhen, who almost concluded that Hu Weiyong had to wait for evidence if he had a problem, she would definitely not want to kill the Huaixi Group.

When Xie Zhen was investigating Hu Weiyong, Lan Wei hadn't thought about it, she just felt that eradicating evil was a serious matter, but if it involved the entire group, she couldn't help but wonder whether people close to her would be implicated——

Not Lan Jiachang's family, not Deng's family, Li family... Li Jingxian's family is not, but Li He's family...

Li He is the son of Li Shanchang. When everyone was in the military camp, he was a reliable little brother. Later, he married the King of Qin and became a son-in-law. He went to the fief, so we haven't seen much news for many years, but it doesn't mean the original friendship. fake.

Lan Wei also doesn't like Li Shanchang very much, the uncle of the "head of civil servants", he also has a part-time job in the East Palace Zhan Shiyuan, but Chang Yuchun, Li Wenzhong, and Deng Yu are different, he doesn't take care of, love or respect Xie Zhen, every time I met before resigning from office for training, it was like looking at a lamb. It was a lamb from someone else's family who came to graze on their own pasture.

Of course, Lan Wei remembered that Emperor Changning wanted Li Shanchang to be the prince's young master and Xu Da to be the young master. In the end, Xie Zhen gave the young master to Song Lian by leaning against the cane, and the young master also had someone else.Song Lian is from Qianxi, Jinhua, and he should be counted as Zhedong Group according to the region, but he is indeed not involved in both sides——

Strange to say, the trusted people around Xie Zhen were hardly involved in the dispute between the Eastern Zhejiang and Huaixi Groups, but Li He...and some of his peers whom he had met, if they were all convicted of treason, Blue There is only infinite heaviness in Wei's heart.

The point is, Emperor Changning's rarely cold and strict face has turned cold again.

Lan Wei didn't know whether his coldness was aimed at the Huaixi Group, which he wanted to "kill everyone", or Xie Zhen, who had offended eyes.No matter what, Lan Wei panicked to death.
