Wife's Observation Log

"Your Highness, the merit is not worth it." Gui Yanliang only said lightly.

"I just think that this crime itself is not fatal." Xie Zhen put down the pen, and she slowly opened her brows, but her expression did not soften at all, but looked more serious. A little later, she added, "Father, although The Kongyin case was investigated extensively and punished heavily, mainly to serve as an example to others, not conspiracy. Even if those people were involved in treason and dispatched to the frontier, Mei Yi's stupid thing like this can only be regarded as colluding with the party and even rebelling. The party is only in exile, so how could Mei Yi be sentenced to death?"

Although Gui Yanliang is a great Confucian, Lan Wei looked at him, as if he was not as sure as Xie Zhen, and there was some hesitation in his expression.

"You go down." Xie Zhen waved his hand and let the female officer stand guard outside. Seeing her standing at the door, he said to Gui Yanliang, "Father is the most important thing about the unity of government orders, and Mei Yi has indeed made meritorious deeds. Tell them to retrial, I think Demotion to the north is enough to teach him a lesson."

"Your Highness..." Gui Yanliang was still hesitating. At this time, Lan Wei happened to look at him, and they could see the same worries in each other's eyes. Lan Wei was happy that someone was worried about him, and he was still worried. Before he could react, Gui Yanliang changed the subject, "I see that Commander Lan seems to have something to say."

Xie Zhen said "hmm", looked up at Lan Wei, who seemed to be confirming if she wanted to say something, then stood up: "Follow me to the side hall."

She directly took Lan Wei away, which Gui Yanliang did not expect, but it also just shows that the relationship between the two is irreversible, so it is a coup to ask Lan Yu to persuade His Highness.

But how could Lan Wei persuade Xie Zhen?

Lan Wei said that she suspected that Emperor Changning took the opportunity to test whether she really understood the words "at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, heavy codes were needed", but Xie Zhen didn't think it was true: "You worry too much Yes. Father really wants to test, how could he do such an obvious trick? Besides, although Mei Sizu has no title, he still owes him merit. Father was able to deal with those officials of the former dynasty, and he still has great pity for merit. "

Listening to Xie Zhen's eloquent talk, Lan Wei always felt that she was reasonable, so she couldn't persuade her. While thinking about it, she followed Xie Zhen back to the front hall. Those who were prosecuted for the empty seal case were indeed mostly defected from the Yuan Dynasty. Officials, because they have been entrenched in the place for a long time, so they are bolder to take advantage of the loopholes to create a name for the Kongyin. Emperor Changning may not have aimed at them... If you say this, Emperor Changning is not interested in establishing prestige but pulling out nails. So there is indeed a fundamental difference between Mei Yi's case and the Kongyin case.

"Sir, I'd like to see how those convicts are sentenced?" Xie Zhen made another request to Gui Yanliang.

Gui Yanliang said yes, so he went out to get the rest of the files and what Xie Zhen wanted. Seeing that Lan Wei was still standing beside him, Xie Zhen pushed her out, winked, and didn't wait for her After answering, I will bury my head in the numerous volumes.

Lan Wei had no choice but to quickly catch up with Gui Yanliang, and he was not surprised to see Lan Wei, so he said, "It seems that the incident only managed to persuade Your Highness."

"..." Lan Wei was silent for two seconds, and decided to nod, "No, I was persuaded by His Highness."

Gui Yanliang slightly slanted his eyebrows, a little surprised: "Didn't Your Highness send us to get the dossiers of the exiles? Don't you want to reconsider?"

"I guess not. Mr. Gui really doesn't think that although this matter is strange, it has nothing to do with the higher-ups?"

"I know what Your Highness means, but if someone says that someone is going to spend a lot of time to deal with Mei Yi, it seems impossible." Gui Yanliang, as an older Confucian, had no intention of restraining himself when talking to Lan Wei, and his words were easy-going, but afterward The small officials waiting in the Procuratorate were no different, which made Lan Wei quite fond of him.

After a while, Xiaoguan returned the dossier that Xie Zhen wanted, and handed it to Lan Wei together with the remaining half that was not delivered before. On the way back, the sun was warm in winter and it was already meal time, but Xie Zhen obviously didn’t In order to eat, the four female officials of Shangshan stood outside the front door together, but they couldn't surpass the female officials who were grinding ink before entering the hall. They just waited outside. When Yishui saw Gui Yanliang coming, he quickly saluted and then Said: "Master Gui, look at this..."

Needless to say, Gui Yanliang was obviously used to this scene, he nodded and went in by himself: "Your Highness."

He only called him but didn't speak, Xie Zhen looked at the water poking his head outside the door and understood: "Come in."

She put all the scrolls aside, Lan Wei went to help her, and then found that Xie Zhen had almost finished reviewing the previous half.She and Gui Yanliang went out this time, but in a sense, she was lazy again, moving things and running errands and working in a ten-foot-square room, Lan Wei naturally liked the former—but she can’t be blamed, it was Xie Zhen who pushed Let her go to be lazy, thinking of the heart-warming attributes of Her Majesty the Crown Prince, it must be popular in modern times, but I don’t know which son will be cheaper in the future, bah, it’s not right, Her Majesty the Crown Prince will want a harem in the future There are three thousand handsome men, it must be because they have eighteen martial arts skills and cannot enjoy His Highness's tenderness.

Two cooking ladies moved into a big round table, the other two spread the dishes, and when the cover was lifted, Lan Wei really felt hungry.

Emperor Changning and Xie Zhen were both diligent in government and caring for the people. As for their hobby of spending money, Emperor Changning was also interested in playing with jade and antiques, while Xie Zhen only liked to watch from a distance. It stands to reason that under the rule of this father and daughter, this should be a Very simple palace.But when it comes to life, the court of the Yan Dynasty did not live in a belt-tightening style, especially in food——

Lan Wei liked drinking afternoon tea in Xie Zhen's bedroom before, and she was full of praise for the dim sum made in Xie Zhen's small kitchen, and the lunch dishes did not disappoint her.

Lan Wei doesn't know if this is Xie Zhen's constant, but even if there are three people, [-] dishes is not a lot.

Shrimp with pepper and vinegar, roast goose, goose with pepper and vinegar, mutton with minced pepper, and crystal dumplings are the tastes of the noble emperors who grew up in the Yuan Dynasty. Palace banquets are also prepared, but the rest of the dishes are more southern. Xu Xie Zhen took care of Gui Yanliang's tastes are arranged, such as bamboo shoots, chicken breasts and broiled clams.Lan Wei was a northerner for two lifetimes, so naturally she didn't compete with Gui Yanliang for food, so she took the sesame oil cake and ate it with chopsticks.

Speaking of the staple food, they also have their own arrangements. Shangshan puts a bowl of fragrant rice with Gui Yanliang, which is only the diameter of a palm; Xie Zhen used a drawer of small steamed buns stuffed with sand, one bite down, the red bean paste overflowed slightly, a thread of red embedded in the soft white, very cute, to say something disrespectful, Lan Wei felt Xie Zhen's crystal clear teeth are the perfect match for this steamed bun. Although there was no fluoride toothpaste in ancient times, Xie Zhen's teeth are neat and white...

"Let go if you want to eat, everything is enough." Suddenly, Xie Zhen spoke in the ear, Lan Wei regained consciousness, it turned out that Xie Zhen saw Lan Wei looking at her, waved his hand, and whispered to Shang Shan After a few words, Shang Shan took out another drawer of steamed buns and put them in front of Lan Wei.

I have to eat all the sins I have done while crying.

Lan Wei gave up the goose crystal dumplings and stuffed thirty pieces of sesame oil cakes and six small steamed buns into her stomach. Seeing Gui Yanliang's eyes looking like a strong man, Lan Wei really wanted to cry.

Xie Zhen had already finished eating Lan Wei's staple food. He walked back and forth in the hall a few times to take a rest after dinner. When he looked back and saw Lan Wei's little expression, he was immediately funny and blamed. : "Go out and see if the sun is bright outside."

Whether the sun is too high or not, it is not something that requires Lan Wei to go out to see it. Xie Zhen just found an excuse that could not be worse for Lan Wei to go out to digest food. It took almost half an hour before I felt much better. When I went back, I heard Xie Zhen sneer: "Thirty people, only one did not accept Mei Yi's 'good intentions'. He should have his head chopped off."

Lan Wei hesitated at the door for a while, and then stepped in. At this time, Gui Yanliang and Xie Zhen had probably reached an agreement, and Xie Zhen was writing about the case like a god, and had already written almost half a page.

Xie Zhen likes Yu Kai.Not to mention the royal families of the past dynasties, even the folks, the regular script is also dominated by Ouyan, and at most one or two tenths of them are thinking about the Wei stele.The shape of Yu Kai has no characteristics, and only relies on the clean style of calligraphy. If it weren't for Her Royal Highness, who studied hard and studied hard from a great Confucianist, she would not be able to achieve great success at this age, let alone like it or not.

Because the appearance has no characteristics, Lan Wei also looks at it very easily. Xie Zhen's ruling this time can be regarded as willful. She directly stated that Mei Yi should be demoted and released. 29 people executed. .

Lan Wei originally thought that the case was severely punished, and Xie Zhen's intervention seemed to be a kind act, but to save one person and kill 29 others, it can be seen that Xie Zhen was not rushing to save a life, she was just. , although it is justice under the Changning emperor system.

But after all, this is an era of supremacy of imperial power, and she shouldn't have a sense of moral superiority, Lan Wei reminded herself, but when she was reminded, she felt a little cold all over, the fate of thirty people changed in one stroke.

"This Fang Keqin seems to have a son who worships under the master." Xie Zhen put down his pen, handed it to Lan Wei to put it aside, and suddenly changed his tone of chatting.

The "master" Xie Zhen mentioned was Song Lian. Although Gui Yanliang was also her teacher of writing, he was not like Song Lian who received the title of prince and junior teacher, so he only respected "Mr."Song Lian took her to read the scriptures since she was six years old, and she really had the feeling of being a son-in-law. Originally, Emperor Changning meant that Li Shanchang was a young master and Xu Da was a young master, and all his meritorious deeds were tied to the East Palace. It can be said that the current scene is because Xie Zhen took fifty Teng Tiao abruptly changed Song Lian's position.

Although Emperor Changning quickly made the three divisions a noble position like the Hanlin, and used Zhan Shiyuan and the left and right leaders to win over heroes for Xie Zhen, since Xie Zhen pushed Song Lian to the title of junior division, it was not only for frankness Calling Song Lian "Master" frankly, he still told Emperor Changning about his friendship with Song Lian as a teacher and apprentice. At that time, Song Lian compiled "Yuan History" and was reprimanded by Emperor Changning. With a bar, I don't know what kind of tribulation it will be.

"What Your Highness said is that I met you last time in the Song Mansion, and Mr. Song praised him a lot, but he also sighed that he didn't understand the practice. It would be enough if he could learn half of His Highness."

"Is the master hurting me or is the master trying to remind me?" Xie Zhen couldn't help laughing, "Fang Keqin is fifty this year, and his son must be at least in his twenties. Learn from me... Then I have to change the meal You have to eat books."

Gui Yanliang shook his head: "Your Highness is joking, although His Highness is indeed no match for Fang Xiaoru in reading, but when it comes to current affairs, ordinary officials who have been immersed in copybooks for many years can't match them. This time, His Highness has really learned everything about governing the world when he goes to lecture on martial arts. Reasonably, I have nothing more to do for you.”

"...Mr. is leaving." Xie Zhen used affirmative sentences.

Gui Yanliang nodded, stood up and gave a big gift to Xie Zhen. Xie Zhen hurried to help him, but he insisted on finishing, and then said: "The three princesses are almost seven years old, and they are also going to be feudal vassals. The ten princesses are enshrined in Xuzhou. I'm going to follow."

Xie Zhen breathed out slowly, and said after a long while: "Mr.'s home is in Xuzhou, and this time is also the grace of my father. I just hope you will take care of yourself."

The author has something to say:

Additional historical background:

Fang Xiaoru, a courtier of Zhu Yunwen, loyal and unyielding, Jing Nan was punished by Zhu Di as the "study seed" of the ten clans. In fact, I privately thought that Yao Guangxiao gave this statement as an enemy military adviser. He did not praise his political ability. He can only be called Hanlin Ting OK

Li Shanchang, as I mentioned earlier when I talked about Deng Zhen, Xiao He, whose status is equivalent to Zhu Yuanzhang, was granted the title of Han Gonggong, and he still has the iron certificate of Danshu in his hand. His son Li Qi married the eldest daughter of Zhu Yuanzhang (now also the king of Qin ), but it is useless, when it is time to liquidate, it is time to kill and exile.
