Chapter 1313 Cozy
After the case of Mrs. Sima was sentenced, Sima Yan, the censor Zhongcheng, also resigned.
The reasons for Sima Yan's resignation were... firstly because of guilt and repentance, and secondly because he planned to resign and take care of his mother all the way to the land of exile. He was afraid that her mother would not survive the journey to the land of exile.
In the morning court, Sima Yan knelt down and kowtowed, asking Bai Qing to fully express his filial piety.
Bai Qingyan repeatedly tried to persuade him to stay, but Sima Yan made up his mind and his head turned red. He only wanted to resign to take care of his mother and go to exile.
Bai Qingyan secretly admired Sima Yan's cleverness in his heart. Although Sima Yan's future was ruined, his reputation as a filial son was confirmed, and it would be beneficial for his three sons to be promoted in the future.
It seems that Sima Yan really understood what she meant when she said that he valued Sima Ping.
"Since Lord Sima has made up his mind, then I... will make Lord Sima complete." Bai Qingyan said slowly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your success! I am so grateful!" Sima Yan kowtowed again.
In less than half a day, the news that Sima Yan resigned and wanted to accompany his mother to the place of exile spread in the metropolis. Not to mention the marriage between Princess Xiangxie and Xue Renyi, the number one scholar of Jinke, for the purpose of robbing others, even the old-fashioned things about adoptive heirs and not having stepsons after giving birth have been turned out, and the people of the metropolis have come to From the bottom of my heart, I despise this old lady Sima.
But... I heard that Sima Yan, the censor Zhongcheng, felt ashamed. As a censor Zhongcheng, he failed to see clearly the evil behind his mother's back, so he resigned from office, and planned to accompany his mother to the place of exile in order to fulfill his filial piety. For a while, a few days ago When the Japanese case broke out, he was still yelling at the people of Sima's family, so he changed his direction. He thought that Mr. Sima was still a good person.
Sitting at home, Sima Yan heard a loyal servant report that the wind direction in Dadu City had changed, and it wasn't like a few days ago when everyone was scolding Sima's family, Sima Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Sacrificing his own future doesn't matter. After all, he is already old now. What matters is the future of the three children, especially Sima Ping. Since His Majesty said he valued Sima Ping, he will definitely use Sima Ping in the future. His Majesty is already the emperor. There is no need to lie to him.
Sima Yan slowly sat down on the chair, but he felt that it would be better if he retreated. When he accompanied his mother in the exile and served her until she died, he came back to teach his grandson how to write, and tended the flowers and plants by himself. Also cozy.
As long as the Sima family's reputation is not completely ruined, the future of his three sons will not be bad.
He has already explained to the eldest son, and the next step is to send a letter to the second son and Sima Ping.
Thinking of this, Sima Yan wrote two letters. Sima Ping's letter was thicker. Firstly, it was because Sima Yan always favored his younger son. Secondly, it was Bai Qingyan who valued Sima Ping. He couldn't help explaining something more sentence.
Soon, the case of Bai Qingshi and Bai Qingfan came to trial in Dali Temple.
In addition to Bai Qingshi's exile, Bai Qingshi's grandfather and other officials involved in the case were also imprisoned and punished to do hard labor.
The second daughter of the Qin family rescued by Bai Qingfan was still sentenced to exile, and Bai Qingfan was also put in prison for bribing the court to order officials to return prisoners privately.
In the two cases of Bai Qingshi and Bai Qingfan, the people involved in the case were also expelled by Bai Qihe as the head of the family.
May 13th was the day when this group of exiles was escorted away. Even the guards who escorted the exiles were lamenting that this group of exiles used to be rich people, but they didn't know how to cherish their blessings. No wonder Ended up like this.
When Sima Yan arrived outside the city early that day, and was about to go to the place of exile with Mrs. Sima, the envoy's convoy from the Yan Kingdom also slowly entered the city.
Sima Yan was dressed like an ordinary rich man, standing beside the carriage, followed by guards, servants and two doctors. He saw a guard with a burn scar on the back of the envoy of Yan State who was entering the city. , I always feel as if I have seen this guard somewhere, and it is still very familiar, but I can't remember where I saw it for a while.
Sima Yan's wife, Mrs. Li, stood aside, wiping away tears with red eyes: "Although you don't plan to use the carriage, you have to prepare it. In case mother or you have a headache, you can rest and rest." What's more, there are mother and your change of clothes in the carriage, and I have prepared some snacks that my mother likes to eat, as well as medicines for common diseases and gold sore medicine, which are not convenient for the guards to carry."
Hearing what his wife said, Sima Yan came back to his senses. He turned around and looked at his wife, took out a handkerchief from his chest and wiped his wife's tears with an unseen gentle expression: " Okay, okay, after I leave, the family will rely on you for support. I have sent that unfilial daughter and her biological mother to Zhuangzi, and I have already told them not to starve to death! If their mother and daughter entrust someone to come Please, just say it’s my order, never allow them to leave Zhuangzi half a step, just don’t starve to death when it comes to food, don’t allow preferential treatment, there’s nothing you can do about it!”
Sima Yan knew that his wife was good at everything, but he cherished his reputation too much. For the sake of reputation, he could compromise, just to gain a virtuous name outside. Didn't the concubine just grasped this point, so he dared to use death to force her .
Therefore, before Sima Yan left, he had already made arrangements, from the eldest son, daughter-in-law, butler... down to the subordinates, whoever served the mother and daughter, who dared to accept the benefits of the mother and daughter and spread the word, would be killed.
He didn't know how long it would take for him to leave, but it had to be properly arranged.
"Don't worry, my husband, I know the seriousness!" Li grabbed Sima Yan's hand that was wiping her tears, and exhorted, "The master must take care of himself when he is away from home, and don't be stingy with money. Don't worry about the master at home. I will take good care of it, if the master needs anything, I will send someone back to deliver the letter, and the family will definitely send someone to deliver it to you quickly."
Sima Yan nodded: "I reckon, after the envoy of Yan came and gave an explanation about Yan Guo's betrayal of Dazhou, Aping should come back, I think Aping is also old, you see if there is a suitable Let the girl settle down with Aping, self-cultivation and family is a major event in life, just send me a letter and let me know, the rest is up to you."
As he said that, Sima Yan moved closer to Mrs. Li, and said in a low voice: "Just one thing, Ah Ping's future is limitless. The Yue family must choose carefully. If they want to help Ah Ping in the court, don't think that Ah Ping is a good person." If you are born as a descendant, you must have a daughter, as long as your character is valuable, it doesn't matter if you are a concubine or concubine."
