Even though the emperor had doubts in his heart, he was ultimately at fault and could not investigate in detail. In addition, if there were descendants of the Ren family, redress would be a matter of course.
If someone accepts the emperor's favor, naturally it will not be in vain.
Xia Chu saw that the emperor's expression was moved, so he called in the direction of Bingwen: "Ren Xuuzhe, why don't you come out and thank the emperor for rehabilitating the Ren family?"
Your Majesty'Huh? ' After a cry, all the ministers also said, 'Huh? ’ made a sound.
I saw Bingwen walking out from the corner at the end and bowing to the emperor: "Xuanzhe, the only remaining son of the Ren family of Caomin, thanks my emperor for his vindication. Caomin specially prepared a gift for the emperor."
Some of the ministers had already recognized Bingwen. They never expected that the famous young master Bingwen in the capital would be the youngest surviving son of the Ren family. They were all speechless and whispering to each other.
"This kid is quite good at getting things done."
"But that also depends on what he can give to the emperor."
"That makes sense. If things go wrong, the Ren family may not be able to succeed."
The emperor first looked at the Marquis and saw that he was even more shocked than he was. Then he gave up the idea that had just emerged in his mind. He originally thought that since Xia Chu knew Bingwen's identity, maybe the Marquis had done this behind his back. He was forced to rehabilitate himself.
But no matter how clear-minded the emperor was, Bingwen was nine years old and Xia Chu was only four years old, and they had been living in the mountains. He would never think of Xia Chu.
Although the emperor had just been moved in his heart, he had not yet agreed to the matter.
Therefore, being forced by Xia Chu, he felt a little unhappy in his heart. He looked at Bingwen holding up a piece of soft cloth to wrap something, and ordered Eunuch Li beside him: "Take it up and take a look."
Eunuch Li responded with a "yes" and walked over nonchalantly and presented it to the emperor.
After the emperor opened it, he found that it was a quilt, and he frowned and flipped through it casually.
When he really started to look at it, his eyebrows became more relaxed. After closing the book, his face showed joy, and his tone of voice when he spoke to Bingwen was also gentle: "Since it was Du Hanfei who framed your Ren family, I I should rehabilitate your Ren family. If you want to be an official, I can also grant you a position."
All the ministers looked at each other in confusion after hearing this. What was written in this booklet that not only made the emperor willing to rehabilitate him, but also granted him an official position
What surprised the ministers even more was that Bingwen also refused...
"I don't seek to be an official. I just wish that my emperor will be in good health, and that the country of Xiao will be prosperous, so that Xuanzhe can travel in his spare time, drink in a clear spring, smell the fragrance of the mountain stream, recite a few poems, and feel the leisurely charm of the ancient times. This life is enough. "Bingwen is neither humble nor arrogant, and explains what he wants in his heart.
Although he was kneeling there the whole time, his back was straight, and although his posture was respectful, he was not flattering.
The autumn wind blew and lifted up the corners of his clothes spread on the ground, allowing the dignitaries sitting in the Prime Minister's Mansion to see the word "character" on his body.
The emperor was very satisfied with his reply. If Bingwen Greedy really wanted an official, he might still have a grudge in his heart and think carefully about what official to give him.
But he refused calmly. He not only showed kindness, but also touched his heart.
Therefore, the emperor continued to say to him in a warm voice: "Since you don't want an official position, then I will reward you with a house worth a thousand taels of gold."
All the ministers looked at the emperor with a somewhat embarrassed expression, but no one dared to go over and tell him that the money they paid for selling a piece of information in Wentian Pavilion was much more than what you, the emperor, rewarded...
But this matter cannot really be blamed on the emperor. Although he had heard about the reputation of Mr. Bingwen in the palace, he had never seen it. He never thought that the youngest son of the Ren family was Bingwen, who was famous in the capital.
Bingwen smiled warmly and thanked Long En.
But the moment he knelt down, he glanced at Xia Chu from the corner of his eye, and there was a hint of moisture in his eyes.
The corners of Xia Chu's mouth curved into a subtle arc, and there was a layer of mist in her eyes.
When the emperor took off, there were still many courtiers who came forward to say a few words for Du Hanfei. The emperor smiled instead of being angry and took them back to the palace one by one, saying that they wanted to discuss it carefully.
Du Hanfei was naturally taken to the prison, but Xiao Mubai greeted the guard, so Bingwen stepped forward and asked in his ear: "Prime Minister Du, how does it feel to be framed?"
Although Bingwen didn't get his answer, he felt satisfied after seeing his colorful expression.
The ministers dispersed in twos and threes, sighing. Now that even Du Hanfei has fallen, the situation in the court may change...
Old General Zhao looked at Zhao Xingwen: "It's hard to carry me on your back now."
Zhao Xingwen stepped behind Xiao Mubai and said, "Grandpa, I'm just an errand boy."
Old General Zhao snorted coldly, and looked at Xiao Zimu and Xiao Mubai together with the Marquis and Huo Tianxiu, feeling sincerely in his heart that the world in Beijing is indeed going to change, and these children have grown up.
"Ren Xunzhe? You hid it really deep!" Finally, Xu Wenlan ran over and spoke to break the awkward silence.
"Who says it's not the case? Even I was kept in the dark." The Marquis was also in a very unhappy mood.
Bingwen was a legend he had held in his hands, but like everyone else, he didn't know his true identity until the last moment. It really made me angrier to take a step back and think about it.
Bingwen coughed and gave way behind Xia Chu. The Marquis raised his eyebrows and looked at Xia Chu: "Did you know this early on?"
Xia Chu lowered his head and held his forehead: "I just found out not long ago, not long ago..."
"Let's not waste this time. It's time to check when Yu Yecheng comes back later. We can't eat the wedding banquet. Let's find a place to have dinner?" Xu Wenlan walked back to Lan Yuying and said considerately.
When General Zhao saw the little look in Xu Wenlan's eyes, he knew what he had in mind, and scolded him: "Hey, where are you standing? She is my grandson's wife. Get out of my way."
Xu Wanjun was originally planning to go back home. After hearing what Old General Zhao said, his emotions began to fluctuate. Lan Yuying stayed in his Xu Mansion for a day today. Why is she your grandson-in-law? He was about to speak. After a few words of argument, Xia Chu spoke first to smooth things over: "Then why don't we go to Yinweizhai? How about I serve as a host and give you a favor?"
Xu Wanjun was originally a very neutral person. As the Minister of Household Affairs, he was most afraid that the emperor would worry about him forming a clique for personal gain.
Therefore, he originally paid special attention to everything in the DPRK and was always neutral and never favored one side, lest it be true.
If this had been done before, having a meal with Mr. Zhao and Old General Huo Admiral would have been the limit. If there was a prince inside, it would be absolutely impossible for him to go.
But seeing that General Zhao had already walked to Lan Yuying's side, holding her hand kindly and walking towards the door with satisfaction, Xu Wanjun chased after her without thinking, and walked on the other side of Lan Yuying and asked deliberately .
"Ying'er, are you still used to the meal at my house today?"
