Chapter 1308
Bai Qingyan deliberately added Sima Ruodan at the end of the imperial decree, a little bit of Sima Yan and a little bit of Xue Renyi.
If Xue Renyi cared about his fiancée, he would have to think about it when he saw the name Sima Ruodan. After all, Sima Ruodan... was not a common name.
If Xue Renyi feels that it doesn't matter who his wife is, that's fine, she also looks at A Qi who seems to take care of Sima Ruodan.
No matter what, the people at that time must always know the truth.
Moreover, Bai Qingyan has already learned about the injustice case of Sima Ruodan's mother's family back then, but it was just like Yushi Jian Congwen, because he blocked Tong Guifei's way and was removed.
Therefore, regardless of whether Aqi and this Sima Ruodan can make it in the end, just because of Sima Ruodan's meritorious service in the lower Yecheng Pass, it is enough for Bai Qingyan to restore her mother's innocent identity and Sima Ruodan A clean identity.
Bai Qingyan said that this was an imperial decree, but many people came to congratulate Sima Yan. Everyone knew that Sima Yan had adopted an adopted daughter named Sima Ruodan. Before that, Bai Qingyan, the superior of the court, cared about Sima Yan's adopted daughter and the newly promoted daughter. Xue Renyi's marriage, and then issued a decree to confer Sima Ruodan as the princess of Xiangxie. The courtiers who didn't know it all thought... that Sima Ruodan, the princess of Xiangxie, was Sima Ruodan, Sima Yan's adopted daughter.
However, many people were curious about how this Sima Yan's adopted daughter was obviously in the capital city, how she helped the Zhou army to obtain Yecheng Pass, and was the first to win the title of a princess.
Sima Yan, who has been anxious these past few days, was almost out of breath when he knew that the emperor had made Sima Ruodan the princess of Xiangxie. It's the same name, the Princess Xiangxie is indeed not their adopted daughter.
As soon as his colleagues left, Sima Yan put on a pale face, leaned on the armrest of the chair, and sat down tremblingly on the chair. There was still something he didn't understand.
Sima Yan's wife got the news in the backyard, and she was also shocked and fell down on the soft couch. Without saying a word, she asked the maid to help her to the front yard. She saw her husband sitting on the chair with an ugly face, but she didn't show any signs Feeling flustered, she calmed down a bit, waved her hand, and the maid beside Eleven stepped back, carrying her skirt and stepping over the threshold of the main entrance: "Husband, what's going on?"
"Mother has caused a catastrophe this time!" Sima Yan was able to hold his breath, and he looked up at his wife, "Your Majesty ordered to re-investigate the case of Sima Ruodan's mother Cai's family back then. Who is the Lord Xie?"
Sima Yan's wife's throat was rolling, remembering the day when her husband came back and said that His Majesty asked about the marriage between Xue Renyi and his adopted daughter. At first, Sima Yan's wife thought that His Majesty was only concerned about the new champion. Now it seems that His Majesty Concern about the new top scholar is clearly His Majesty's probing.
Sima Yan's wife also sat down, holding on to the armrest of the chair, with a trembling voice: "No wonder... no wonder His Majesty asked about Xue Renyi's marriage that day! Your Majesty... you all know about it! Husband, this is a shame. what to do?"
Sima Yan closed his eyes, and smashed the cup in his hand angrily: "I, Sima Yan, have entered Yushitai since I entered Yushitai. One time, it’s going to be on my own head!”
He shouldn't have softened his heart just because his mother wanted to die, and indulged in this matter...
But do something, or don't do it! To do...you must be foolproof, this is the truth he has known since he was a child.
But his mother said that Sima Ruodan had already been killed by the people she sent, so he believed it. As a result, Sima Ruodan appeared at Yecheng Pass for nothing, and became the leader of the Great Zhou Army to take down Ye Chengguan. The person who made the first contribution to Chengguan.
Sima Yan held his breath, knowing that now is not the time to be angry, but to find a way to solve it.
First of all, I have to ask His Majesty for a crime, which is an urgent matter. Second, I have to explain to Xue Renyi. Although Xue Renyi has not been appointed to an official position, Xue Renyi is a real person, otherwise They will not be selected as champions this time. Young people like Xue Renyi will be reused by His Majesty in the future. This can be seen from the "Great Zhou Official Assessment Outline" written by Dong Tingzhen, who was selected as a biography , Your Majesty will boldly use young people in the next step.
Thinking of this, Sima Yan didn't dare to delay, and after talking to his wife, he changed his official uniform and entered the palace to ask Bai Qingyan to plead guilty.
Sima Yan's wife, Mrs. Li, was not as calm as Sima Yan, she was so angry that she hated Sima Yan's foolish old lady in her heart, she sent Sima Yan away, and walked towards the courtyard of the old lady Sima go.
Mrs. Li told Mrs. Sima about the matter, Mrs. Sima's face turned pale with shock, and she limp on the soft couch. She looked at Mrs. Li in disbelief, and her voice couldn't stop rising:: "You said...that Sima Ruodan didn't die! He even became a great hero who broke through the Yecheng Pass and was made a princess?! Are you sure it's that Sima Ruodan?"
Mrs. Li sat on the embroidered bed, folded her hands in front of her lower abdomen, and said respectfully to her mother-in-law as usual: "Exactly, His Majesty also ordered to re-investigate the original case of Sima Ruodan's mother, Mrs. Cai's family." , Mother thinks carefully... This is to cleanse Sima Ruodan's life experience, and to be innocent."
Old Madam Sima almost passed out, she forced herself to sit still, and asked, "Where's Ah Yan?"
"Go back to mother, my husband has changed his official uniform and entered the palace to plead guilty." Li gritted her teeth and said in a low voice, "But if he admits to doing such a thing as the imperial censor, he will definitely lose his official position. Whether other people's lives can survive is still a matter of two..."
Mrs. Li raised her head and looked at the old lady Sima with resentful eyes: "My mother refused to listen to the advice of her husband and daughter-in-law for the sake of a concubine in the family, and insisted on doing this marriage exchange. , mother... are you satisfied?"
The daughter-in-law, who had always been respectful to her, suddenly spoke to her in this way. Mrs. Sima looked at her daughter-in-law in surprise, but she also understood the anger in her heart.
Mrs. Sima, who was always strict with her daughter-in-law, sat there uncharacteristically this time, thinking about how to make amends.
"I heard that the concubine has gone out just now, and the people in the house are meeting with her fiancé and son-in-law. Why Xue Renyi asked her out to meet at this time, mother should know!" Li Shi stood up after speaking, and The mother-in-law saluted, "My husband is the only seedling of my mother and the father of my child. I understand him! He will definitely bear all the burdens for my mother in front of His Majesty. Losing an official is a small thing, but losing a life is a big deal! Whether your husband can be saved is up to you." Look at mother!"
