Wife's Observation Log

Lan Wei watched Xie Zhen relax a little bit, as if thinking that her father miraculously wanted to let her go again, Emperor Chang Ning suddenly raised his hand, cut his teeth slightly, turned around strangely and hit her on the back of the head.

Xie Zhen was beaten and leaned forward, but this kind of shooting was not harsh, and it might have a hint of intimacy between an ordinary father and daughter, so Xie Zhen, who was hit on the back of the head, was a little confused.

"Why are you so stubborn? Wang Guangyang deceived the emperor. After he was demoted to Hainan, the right prime minister's affairs mostly fell on you. I pity you and are tired. You haven't punished me recently, but you want to be proud of your favor? Why take care of your body and safety? You haven't admitted your mistakes after a series of lies, and now you want to contradict me again, do you really think I dare not do anything to you?"

Xie Zhen remained calm, first he apologized honestly and said he shouldn't have covered it up, but then he still had the guts to argue, at this moment Lan Wei had the illusion that Emperor Changning wouldn't be able to shut Xie Zhen up if he didn't move the rattan, thank you Zhen's central idea is very clear. Firstly, he should attack Hu Weiyong's "unnecessary" and "intentional" people who can't catch wind and shadows. Secondly, he quoted Ouyang Xiu's "clique theory" to express that it is enough to disintegrate the cronies of villains. It is necessary to accurately identify them without hurting the branches. .

Emperor Changning's response was: "If you are not cruel, you can only be a benevolent monarch, not a wise one."

"Then what's the matter if you don't keep the name of 'Mingjun'? Be magnanimous to the world..." Before Xie Zhen finished speaking, he was kicked out by Emperor Changning. This sentence obviously touched a root in Emperor Changning's mind string.

"If you don't want to be a Mingjun, what's the use of you? Go back to the palace and I'll send you back when I come back." Emperor Changning didn't give Xie Zhen a chance this time. He lifted the curtain and pointed at the two Jinyi guards, asking them to "send" Xie Zhen back , Commander Tang Li rushed over when he heard the sound, and also felt the tense atmosphere in the car, but in the end he just saluted Xie Zhen and said nothing with a sullen face.

Emperor Changning waved him down, so the curtain of the car was lowered again.

Anyway, something more embarrassing happened, Xie Zhen left, and Lan Wei stayed.Emperor Changning was depressed for a while, then looked at Lan Wei, but said: "You are the closest to her, after a hundred years you have to persuade her to kill and make a decision."

"The minister is not as good as His Highness."

"If you are sensible, I will not allow you to lie beside her; if you are ignorant, I will not allow you to fool her."

Emperor Changning glanced at her deeply, Lan Wei rolled up his sleeves, and said carefully: "Since Your Majesty cares about His Highness so much, why did you do so just now?"

"...I also hope that my daughter can be a carefree princess, but her mother's last wish is to teach her to be an unrivaled emperor. This is probably retribution, and I should be the villain."

"Your Majesty, this is an excuse." Lan Wei didn't realize that the conversation she had with Emperor Changning was too personal, and she was led to tell the truth that she had been holding back for a long time. There were very few saints before, and the last time she was awarded in the middle of the Golden Luan Hall, she was naturally excited The hot-blooded thought it was normal, and didn't know that Emperor Changning had always been so able to mobilize people's emotions, "Your Majesty can speak with reason, but he is always angry and punished. His Highness is now an adult, and the principles of governance are the same as His Majesty's It’s really not surprising to part ways.”

"You dare to say it." Emperor Changning snorted, "Are you blaming me for being hypocritical?"

"Your Highness has been injured and ill, and it is difficult to be the king of the frontier." Since all the reckless words have been spoken, it doesn't matter if he stabs Emperor Changning again. After Lan Wei finished speaking, Emperor Changning was dumbfounded in thought.

Emperor Changning was born as a scholar, so it should be reasonable. During the chaos, he loved his wife and protected his son. Even though he lost control of Xie Zhen's emotions at that time, everyone thought he would figure it out quickly. It seems that Xie Zhen was established by him as the crown prince and cultivated with all his heart. This point is known, but only a few close officials know that the resentment imposed on Xie Zhen in the form of violence has never been resolved.But the close ministers and the courtiers, whose life and death are all in the holy will, how dare they persuade them?Li Song had already tried his best to stop the punishment, but it was absolutely impossible for him to say that Emperor Changning was wrong to his face.

But even if no one pointed it out, for the extremely smart Emperor Changning, it is not difficult to figure it out, it just takes some time.Blaming Xie Zhen for attracting the attention of the enemy and killing Guo Tianhui is simply to vent his anger. If anyone is responsible for this incident other than the murderous enemy, it is him, the unprepared coach!But on the one hand, he couldn't bear the pressure of killing his wife, and on the other hand, Xie Zhen had already had his own ideas for the reserve to participate in politics.The awkward relationship between father and daughter is difficult to repair with just a few words, and Xie Zhen's stubbornness in political affairs really forced Emperor Changning to not move the cane to persuade her, so they have been training each other until now.

"You advised me to be extremely kind today, and tomorrow you should be Ping Qi's eldest grandson."

Ping Qi is Xie Zhen's word, but generally no one dares to call Her Majesty the Empress Dowager that way, so Lan Wei didn't react much, and when she did, she thought about how Emperor Changning seemed to have listened, and only regretted that she hadn't done it earlier. Rescue Xie Zhen from the fool.So the three auspicious synonyms "Zhen, Ping, Qi" were spinning in my mind again, as if His Highness should be called "Xie Jixiang" inexplicably laughing, and regretting in the bottom of my heart, Lan Wei didn't catch these words the key of.

The car finally stopped. It took a long time to sit on the road from the Inner Forbidden City to the southernmost part of the city. Emperor Changning was still not showing any sign of color. Lan Wei followed him and walked towards Hu's house. Hu Weiyong was standing at the door, just about to make a speech. Welcome, suddenly Tang Li cupped his fists and knelt down: "Stop, Your Majesty! There are people with swords and axes hidden in this house!"

As soon as the words fell, a few guards in Jin Yi pressed four or five "men with knives and axes" in armor but had no weapons, and came out from both sides of Hu's house. The distance between Emperor Changning and Hu Weiyong was only six steps away. As soon as he opened his mouth, Emperor Changning said angrily: "Move the imperial guards to suppress the rebellion."

Hu Weiyong took two steps forward and wanted to call out "injustice" again. There were Jinyiwei swords on both sides, crossing his neck and pressing down, knocking him to the ground.

The Hu Weiyong case, the first of the four major cases in Hongwu, has also begun in Changning, even a few months earlier.

Although the empty seal case had already occurred, most of them were exiled. Xie Zhen did not save a few, but the number of dead was less than a hundred, but the Hu Weiyong case involved tens of thousands of dead in the Ming Dynasty.

Lan Wei, who witnessed it, was not at all excited. She thought of Li He again, and more acquaintances she was not sure if they would be implicated.

Xie Zhen was not present, but soon found out, because Tang Li sent a report immediately, Chang Yuan also went to find her very quickly, reported the incident in detail and said that there were changes in Lu Zhongheng, Marquis of Ji'an, and Fei Ju, Marquis of Pingliang, and the servants of the family Wander around, and go back to report the incident after the incident.She turned to look at Lu Fei's mansion, there was indeed a hidden weapon, which had been captured by her, it seemed that she had kept it for a long time.

Chang Yuan rarely talks about conclusions, she only talks about phenomena, but Xie Zhen must have understood that Hu Weiyong's soldiers did not come from the army, so those soldiers who changed before were completely transferred away by Emperor Changning. Must be double.And during the whole process, Emperor Changning did not interfere with Xie Zhen's mobilization of troops, but left her another line with great confidence, but at the end of the line, there was a cry of "Ginger is still old and spicy".

Lan Wei didn't know what kind of mood Xie Zhen was in. After experiencing the "mutation of Hu's house" that seemed to be the key point, her life became infinitely dull. Talking about this case, I was only occasionally around the same class, and I haven't seen each other since a certain day.

The person who investigated was Xie Zhen. According to the rumors of the ministers, Her Highness the Empress Dowager was not present, so Emperor You was frightened and injured when he heard the news.Investigating the rebel party shouldn't be something that a princess can do. After all, how can the emperor be sure that it wasn't you who hooked up with the prime minister and wanted to drive him out of power?But this father-daughter relationship is really unusual, the palace is actually a little relaxed in such a precarious situation, and there is even news that "the emperor is happy to hear about it".

It seems to be a moderate compromise. For Xie Zhen, she imprisoned almost all of the Huaixi Group from the very beginning, and most of the Huaixi people were the original fellows of Emperor Changning, who followed him in the southern and northern wars.Things seem to be not much different from what happened in the Hongwu years, and Xie Zhen didn't even have the concept of female relatives in his heart. After it was found out that he was connected with Hu Weiyong, although he was not implicated by the nine clans, the whole family would never survive.According to the history of Hongwu, Li He should have been exiled with Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest princess, but it seems that just as the old acquaintances in Beijing knew that he was cherished by others, he also knew the situation of the old man-in the hands of Xie Zhen, the meaning of Emperor Changning In the next case, he will always die together with Li Shanchang's family.Therefore, after Li Shanchang was imprisoned and before the local arrest, he committed suicide.

However, Emperor Changning's compromise came later, which made the result not that more people died in the Hu Weiyong case during the Changning period. It's all right, and some "outer branches" in Xie Zhen's eyes were basically released after being fined. It seems that they really just want to kill all the criminals, and the number of families involved is much less than what Hong Wu recorded.

As for Lan Wei, I haven't seen Xie Zhen recently. Maybe Xie Zhen didn't want her to be tainted with the blood of punishment, so he told her to sit honestly in the Tiangongyuan. This matter has nothing to do with her.However, in Lan Wei's view, with the Hu Weiyong case, the Lan Yu case is not far away, so what should I do at that time.She intuitively knew that the historical knowledge she knew should be able to help herself and her family avoid these tragedies, but she had no idea.

So is it time to tell Xie Zhen frankly and let her analyze it for herself?

Lan Wei is not sure, she is always very nervous about this matter.Just at this time, another really happy event came.

The author has something to say:

Additional historical background:

Historically, Li Shanchang was implicated by Hu Weiyong only after overturning the old case many years later, but obviously, if the higher authorities have sufficient control and clear goals to kill Huaixi, and the emperor does not miss the old love, he will obviously be at the very beginning caught.
