Chapter 1309 Disagreement

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Li got up and saluted Mrs. Sima, and withdrew from Mrs. Sima's upper room with a solemn expression.

Mrs. Li has already said what should be said to Mrs. Sima, and it is up to Mrs. Sima what to do.

In the upper room, Old Madam Sima's face was ashen, she tightly clutched the hidden pouch propped under her elbow, Sima Yan was her only son, how could she even ignore her son for a granddaughter born out of concubine.

But right now, since His Majesty wants to vindicate Sima Ruodan's mother's family, it means that he has already known the whole story from Sima Ruodan.

Mrs. Sima closed her eyes. Now that her son has entered the palace, her son has always been filial, and he will definitely take on this matter. Even if he doesn't... choose to tell the truth to His Majesty, others will only He felt that he was unfilial and asked his mother to take the blame.

what to do? what to do……

The son of Sima Old Madam Sima Yan was conceived by her after suffering so much, and she grew up holding it in her hands since she was a child. After entering Yushitai, he also became Yushi Zhongcheng.

She has been buried up to the neck in the loess, and she will not live for a few days, but the future of her son Sima Yan... and her grandchildren cannot be ruined. She must bear what she has done.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Sima no longer hesitated, and ordered someone to change her clothes and prepare the car.

Sima Yan knelt in the center of the hall, staring at the shiny bluestone floor, waiting for Bai Qingyan to summon him.

After Bai Qingyan reviewed the memorial, he heard from Wei Zhong that Sima Yan had been kneeling outside for a long time. Originally, Wei Zhong wanted to come in to report, but Sima Yan said that he did not dare to disturb His Majesty, so he did not let Wei Zhong pass the news immediately, but only asked Wei Zhong When Bai Qingyan finished his work, Zhong Zhong passed on for him.

Wei Zhong naturally knew why Sima Yan was kneeling outside the hall at this moment, presumably because he knew the canonized imperial decree and understood that Sima Ruodan's matter could not be concealed, so he came to His Majesty to plead guilty.

Bai Qingyan was reviewing the memorial, and Wei Zhong didn't bother him until Bai Qingyan put down his pen, took the hot towel from Chuntao, wiped his hands, and got up to do some activities to see the two children. Bai Qingyan said that Sima Yan was kneeling outside.

"It's pretty quick!" Bai Qingyan turned her wrist, straightened her sleeves and sat back, said to Wei Zhong, "Call me in!"

"Yes!" Wei Zhong responded and went to pass on Sima Yan.

Not long after, Sima Yan, who was sweating profusely, came in from outside the hall and pleaded guilty to Bai Qing.

Bai Qingyan's eyes swept over Sima Yan, took a sip of hot tea in his lowered eyes, and said: "Master Sima is not a foolish person, he also has a public heart, and he is relentless when he joins people, I... ...I don't believe Master Sima can do such a foolish thing."

Sima Yan bowed his head ashamedly after hearing Bai Qingyan's words: "My minister is terrified..."

Sima Yan was waiting for Bai Qingyan to get rid of him, when Bai Qingyan suddenly changed the subject: "Sima Ping and Lu Yuanpeng joined the Bai family army and were deeply loved by King Zhennan. Sima Ping is a child who values ​​love and righteousness, and Lu Yuanpeng Thanks to Sima Ping's protection in the army, Sima Ping is so empathetic, wise and introverted...and a far-sighted child cannot be taught by someone who is so shallow that he even wants to take other people's marriage contracts."

"Your Majesty..." Sima Yan's throat tightened when he heard this, and his heart felt inexplicably hot.

"Lord Sima has three sons. The eldest son of the Sima family is now in the Ministry of Industry. Hearing Shen Shangshu praise him, he has done all the tasks assigned by him very properly! The second son of the Sima family has been transferred to Hancheng. I heard that it is quite prestigious!" Bai Qingyan used the lid of the cup to fiddle with the tea leaves floating in the teacup's herbal tea soup, "Master Sima is prepared for danger in times of peace and has foresight. He didn't let all his sons become officials, but put the eggs separately. Of the three baskets, only one is left in the capital city, and the remaining two... one is placed far away, and the other is pretending to be a dude in the capital city..."

When Sima Yan heard Bai Qingyan's gentle voice, a layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on his back.

What Bai Qing said was exactly right.

Sima Yan arranged his three sons in this way in order not to put all their eggs in one basket. There is already a son here in Daducheng who will follow him into an official position, but if something happens here, he still has a son who is far away. The Sima family's son, who was in the frontier army, had a glimmer of hope of being rescued.

Arranging Sima Ping, the youngest son, to pretend to be a dandy and hang out with these dandies, so that he won't be seen as a threat, and maybe he can help the family.

Sima Yan is a person who always has a few ways to retreat when doing things. Since Sima Yan became an official, he has seen too many tall buildings rise and collapse. Back then, Concubine Tong Gui harmed many Zhongliang, Sima Yan had to leave a way out for the Sima family.

"Your Majesty..." Sima Yan has never had in-depth contact with Bai Qingyan. Even if others praise Bai Qingyan for being wise, virtuous, winning the hearts of the world, and being ambitious, Sima Yan never He has never been convinced by this little girl who is younger than his second son.

In Sima Yan's view, the unification of the world...is just a rhetoric used by this little girl to unite people's hearts at the beginning of her ascension to the throne.

Those famous generals in Daliang, such as Zhao Sheng and Yang Wuce, were won over by the rhetoric of unifying the world.

There are also those courtiers above the Great Zhou Dynasty Hall, even if they used to have confrontations and conflicts, when it comes to unification of the world, it seems that everyone can abandon their previous suspicions and work together to make way for this goal, making the entire Great Zhou Dynasty Hall seem A thriving scene.

Later, he was willing to bow his head, but it was only because of Bai Qingyan's ascension to the throne, the general trend, and Bai Qingyan did not massacre the courtiers of the previous dynasty, and even most of the courtiers belonged to the former dynasty.

But at this point, Sima Yan felt that Bai Qingyan was wrong. Now these courtiers surrendered to her only because she really held the military power and political power. Government in one hand.

However, Sima Yan has not moved, nor has he thought about taking advantage of Qin Lang's relationship to climb up, because he is not optimistic about Bai Qingyan's enthusiastic implementation of the New Deal. He does not know how long Bai Qingyan's court can last. The higher it is... the more miserable the death will be if the dynasty changes again in the future.

It is because several of Bai Qingyan's younger brothers have returned, and Bai Qingyan has boldly distributed her military power to her younger brothers. If even one of her younger brothers has a different heart, the court will be in chaos. up.
