In the past few days, there have been constant quarrels in the court, mostly around the dispute between the He and Shen families. The noble families joined forces to attack Shen Huairen. This is no longer a grudge between two families, but has evolved into a factional fight between the noble families and the poor family.
Thinking of their faces, the emperor felt a little restless. In fact, in the past few years, the two forces were suspected of uniting the party, and they kept making small moves behind the scenes. In particular, the He family became more and more public and secretly worked for the prince.
He knew exactly what he was planning.
It was undeniable that the prince was the most respected by him, but he was still young and powerful, so they couldn't wait to reach out to him, which made the emperor very angry.
What happened this time was a sudden breach, allowing them to continue fighting and internal conflicts.
Courtiers are like potted plants. As soon as the branches emerge, they must be pruned in time. If you are reluctant to do so, they will be restrained.
Therefore, he adopted Yu Citai's impeachment, and officials who were implicated in poisonous ice would be severely punished as long as they were found out.
The same goes for the emperor regarding the He and Shen families. It depends on how much they can be involved. Don't blame him for being rude then.
Needless to say, for the He family, it is a capital crime for a relative to interfere in politics, but they have not yet reached the stage of dealing with it, but they are more disappointed with Shen Huairen, and more worried.
He personally promoted him, and he had both the merits of serving as a dragon and the talent of governing the country. However, his ambition was too great, and the position of prime minister could no longer satisfy him. He only wanted to become a relative of the emperor.
Shen Ning, on the other hand, impressed the emperor. He was just a chess piece placed next to King Jin. He thought he was stupid and brainless, but he turned out to be a thousand-mile horse.
He couldn't help but suspect that Shen Huairen was picking on his daughter.
Shen Rou was well-raised, well-educated, intelligent, and gentle, but in the end she was just a vase that was pleasing to the eye, but Shen Ning had real abilities.
His outstanding medical skills have saved people many times, and now he is also helping people find their relatives by taking portraits.
It would be good to ration the prince, as he could become a good wife and help his reputation and prestige, but now it is given to the Prince of Jin...
So what about flesh and blood? Children are also divided into relatives. The prince's bloodline is pure, so it is natural that he will succeed him in the future. Prince Jin only needs to keep a low profile and be his prince, but he wants to stand out.
The more outstanding Xiao Weijing was, the more criticism the emperor received.
There is no reason not to feel pain for the child given to him by his beloved woman, but his existence always reminds him of that unbearable past.
Therefore, he really can't afford to love her.
He could see through Xiao Weijing's eyes at a glance.
Those were his eyes when he was young. His desire for power and ambition for the throne meant he was not a peaceful person.
If he is wise, he should hand over the military power and settle down in a fiefdom as an idle prince. After a hundred years, he will leave a legacy and let the new emperor wish him a good death out of brotherly love.
The emperor's heart was too rich, and Shen Ning didn't know it at all, and wouldn't care if he knew it.
Because dogs can't change eating shit.
Trying to get the emperor to talk about family relationships is simply a joke.
He needs to be human, able to kill his brother, domineering sister-in-law and kill everyone in his family?
Shen Ning glanced at Xiao Weijing. If he longed for his father's love and cried, she would have to pack up her things and run away early, so as not to steal the chicken but lose the rice.
However, the villain's palace is too deep and there are no clues on his face.
The full moon banquet was coming to an end, and Xiao Weijing took Shen Ning to leave early due to physical discomfort.
Concubine Yi stopped talking, looking sad and sad.
The emperor saw this and became even more displeased with Xiao Weijing.
Just returned to the palace, Shen Ning was eating watermelon to relieve her tiredness, and Butler Zhou brought the latest news.
Something big happened. Shen Huairen expelled Shen Jingjie from the family tree and terminated the relationship between father and son.
Shen Ning was a little unexpected, but it was expected.
She pretended to be confused, "It's so good, how come the relationship between father and son has been terminated?"
"Princess, you still don't know that Second Young Master Shen is not Shen Xiang's biological child, but was adopted."
Fart! Shen Ning almost choked on the watermelon.
Shen Huairen was indeed a ruthless man. The emperor intended to attack nobles and poor families, but he never made a clear stance on this matter.
The two families are fighting fiercely. One wants to save his son, and the other wants to avenge his son. They are both digging up dirt on each other, and the hole is getting bigger and bigger.
After all, Shen Huairen is a thousand-year-old fox. He has come to his senses. If the fight continues, let alone his son, he will have his butt picked off.
The He family has deep roots and is a relative of the queen. They can get used to misbehaving. However, the Shen family has no such background. They can only bow their heads and give in. Otherwise, even if they win the fight in the end, let alone Rou'er's position as the quasi-Crown Princess will not be guaranteed. You will also lose your Sacred Heart.
Give up and give up, but do it decently.
So, he sold a lot of farmland and shops and barely scraped together more than 20,000 taels to pay off Shen Jingjie's gambling debt. He was expelled from the family tree on the grounds that he had bad conduct and disrespected his adoptive parents. From then on, he had nothing to do with the Shen family. relation.
He was even willing to throw away his own son, no wonder he was able to climb to where he is today.
Shen Ning continued to eat melon, "The second brother looks very similar to my father, why did he suddenly become an adopted son?"
"It's said to be the child of a side branch. The man died of illness earlier, and the widow had difficulty giving birth. The child was the only one left. It happened that the child Mrs. Shen just gave birth to died in infancy. She missed the child and couldn't bear it, so Prime Minister Shen brought the child. Raise as your own."
Housekeeper Zhou is also a good person, he has the right smile and understands everything.
It doesn't matter whether Shen Jingjie is his biological child or not, but Shen Huairen wants to cut off his tail to survive.
He knew that the relationship between the princess and the Shen family was not harmonious, so he immediately sent over the news after hearing the news, "Second Young Master Shen has been arrested and brought to justice by Dali Temple.
It turned out that he was caught, no wonder he was so anxious to clear up the relationship.
If you use all your means to protect it, you can still protect it, but unfortunately, in the end, profit comes first.
Shen Ning didn't know whether she was happy or not. Shen Jingjie had many shortcomings, but he was also the closest to her among the sisters. He did things with purpose, but he was also very kind to his original owner most of the time.
It can only be said that he was unfortunately involved in a political struggle and became a sacrificial pawn.
After expelling the poison at night, seeing her being particularly silent, Xiao Weijing frowned and said, "Are you worried about Shen Jingjie?"
Shen Ning thought for a while, "I can't even talk about it, it's just very emotional."
"Would Shen Jingjie be sad if it were you?" Xiao Weijing looked indifferent, "Shen Huairen would not even give up his own son, let alone you, whose origins are unknown."
Shen Ning Yinzhen showed no mercy, "My lord, can you be more polite when you speak?"
"Hiss..." She is looking for death!
After the injection, Shen Ning stood by and felt a little drowsy.
Xiao Weijing looked disgusted and said, "That bag is for you." He usually didn't treat himself as an outsider, but he was being polite today.
There was a cloth bag on the table. It weighed several kilograms. Shen Ning asked curiously, "What is it?"
When I opened it, I saw that it was a pearl with clear particles and full crystal content.
Darling, this pearl is too big. We don’t have such good things in the capital. They are worth my money.
What does this mean? Give it away for free, or use it to offset business profits?
Let’s make it clear first that she is more interested in gold and silver, so she won’t do it if she gets a share of the money.
"South Sea pearls were given by others. I'm not interested in women's things, so I can give them to you."
Shen Ning was shocked, "You never accepted bribes before, but now you are so bold."
Xiao Weijing, whose mouth twitched, "..." Get out!
