The court hall was quiet, and after hearing the imperial decree, the ministers standing on both sides inevitably felt a little bit sad. As for corruption, it can only be said that it is unlucky to catch someone. No one who wears an official hat dares to laugh at fifty steps.
However, regarding the fact that Prime Minister Hua had escaped the catastrophe, everyone felt a light in their hearts - the emperor had changed from targeting Prime Minister Hua at the beginning to defending it. Without the protection of the emperor this time, Hua Jinghua would definitely not be able to appear in this court again.
Whether it's because Prime Minister Hua's attitude has softened, or because the emperor has matured, after this incident, their attitude towards the prime minister should also change accordingly.
At the end of the morning, Huachun wanted to run.
As a result, without any accident, He Changan caught him straight and brought him to the emperor.
"Where do you want to go?" Yu Wenjie looked at him and said, "Don't leave the palace for the next two days, just stay by my side."
Hua Chun curled her lips and said in a low voice: "Isn't it okay for me to go out and send a friend on the road?"
"Friends?" Yu Wenjie swept her eyes up and down, and there was a naked expression in those eyes: People like you still have friends
"Do you want to send Grand Master Tang off?" He Changan asked in a low voice.
Hua Chun nodded, and patted He Changan's shoulder in relief: "Second brother still understands me."
"Stupid." Yu Wenjie looked at her indifferently: "The tree falls and the monkeys scatter, and the wall falls and everyone pushes it. He was exiled for a crime, not returning home."
What can I give you? Make some trouble for nothing!
Hua Chun lowered his head and quietly rolled his eyes. This Yu Wenjie's heart is probably made of stone, it must be diamond. It's not a big deal to give one away, it's just two steps away, why do you have to walk away with the hozen and push the wall with everyone? Leaving aside the matter of corruption, Grand Master Tang has been loyal to the court for more than ten years. Now that he is exiled, the emperor can't send him off. He is not willing to let her, the prime minister, go to help him make a good relationship
Seeing Hua Chun's face that dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, He Chang'an smiled lowly, looked at the emperor and said: "If Jinghua really wants to go, then I will accompany him. Don't worry, the emperor will be back soon."
Yu Wenjie frowned, looked at He Chang'an and said, "You are too used to him."
"What he wants to do is not wrong." He Chang'an said: "You should be more tolerant once in a while."
Listening to this conversation, Hua Chun instantly felt that Yu Wenjie was a strict father, He Changan was a loving mother, and she was a naughty son who wanted to go out to play. The sense of sight of a family of three is simply not too strong!
Why did she become so dignified as a prime minister that she became someone's son? She is obviously a very high-status, independent and self-reliant person! Who gave them the power to restrict her actions without authorization
He pursed his lips angrily, but when he raised his head, he met Yu Wenjie's eyes full of displeasure, which were dark and bottomless.
His cheeks slumped in an instant, and Hua Chun subconsciously showed him a flattering smile: "Hey."
Slavery is probably something that grows in his bones, and he really can't get rid of it! She is also angry with herself sometimes, she simply hates iron for being weak! But in front of the strong, she would always choose to pretend to be dead like a cockroach.
Yu Wenjie was silent for a while, probably looking at the face in front of him, he was about to die laughing, so rare and cute, he finally nodded: "Go early and come back early."
"Yes." He Changan agreed, and winked at Huachun, who understood and thanked Huachun repeatedly.
Then the two quickly disappeared from the presence of the emperor together.
Yu Wenjie felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He always thought that he was an amiable person, but for some reason, Hua Jinghua always looked scared to death in front of him, but in front of He Changan, he seemed normal. Relaxed, with a genuine smile in his eyes.
He thought for a long time and didn't understand why.
"Eunuch Qin."
"The slave is here."
The emperor turned his head, looked at him seriously and asked, "Am I serious?"
Slightly taken aback, Eunuch Qin looked down at the emperor's shoe tip embroidered with flying dragons in astonishment, not knowing how to answer for a while.
Why does His Majesty care about such things? He can't tell the truth, the truth is that he is really serious! There was no happy expression on his face. Forget it, when he is usually fine, looking at others with his eyes can frighten the maids and concubines so that they can't stand still, thinking that he is angry.
Sighing lightly, after following the emperor for so long, Eunuch Qin naturally knows him best. The emperor looked serious on the outside, but he was actually quite soft on the inside, but others didn't know about it, so they were all afraid of him and didn't dare to get close to him.
No one dared to get close, so the emperor was naturally more serious. Sometimes he, a slave, felt sorry for him. Except Gong Yuhou, the emperor had almost no confidantes around him. He grew up with a straight face, and he was quite lonely.
After deliberating for a while, he thought of the best answer: "Your Majesty has the dignity that the Ninth Five-Year Supreme should have."
Yu Wenjie seemed dissatisfied with this answer. He got on the dragon chariot with a sullen face, and stared in the mirror in a daze when he returned to Zichen Hall.
The other two brothers, shoulder to shoulder, have already left the palace gate.
"Are you still used to living in the palace?" He Changan looked at the people next to him tenderly.
Thinking of last night's experience, Hua Chun wanted to say that she was really not used to it at all, but she was even more curious: "It's fine, why did the emperor let me live in the palace?"
"He's doing it for your own good." He Chang'an smiled lowly, "You should also be grateful for His Majesty's grace."
For her? Eyeballs rolled around, Hua Chun tentatively said: "Will someone try to harm me?"
He Chang'an had come to remind her before, and now Yu Wenjie didn't let her go back home. These two people should know a lot of things, but they didn't intend to tell her.
"You are a smart man." He Changan smiled and said, "It's a pity that you don't know martial arts. It's not very convenient to come and go in the recent period. It's right to follow the emperor. You have to believe that even if your elder brother is unreliable, your second brother will also It's definitely for your own good, so don't worry about other things, just be your prime minister."
Speaking so profoundly, Hua Chun raised his eyebrows and nodded slightly.
In their eyes, Hua Jinghua is probably a very upright scholar image, full of justice, but vulnerable. Otherwise, he wouldn't treat her like protecting a panda.
It's a good thing to have protection. Hua Jinghua may have been very powerful in the past, but now Hua Chun is an idiot who knows nothing. When she meets an assassin or something, she can't even climb the beam on her own.
After thinking about it, I still admit it, and forget it as someone else's son.
Grand Master Tang's mansion is still under investigation, He Chang'an said, in fact, he didn't covet much at all, only the money for disaster relief this time, and he ate a few thousand taels of silver. Taishi Tang has been clean and honest for more than ten years, but he didn't expect to lose it at the end of the festival, and he regretted it too late.
Hua Chun said with a serious face: "Second brother, have you heard of the 'circle theory'?"
This question is nonsense, He Changan is an ancient person, where can he listen to this kind of modern theory
So she directly began to explain: "It's just people in a circle. Although they have different ideas at the beginning and want to stick to their own hearts, but after being together for a long time, when something happens, one of them takes the lead, and the thoughts of the whole circle will change." They will subconsciously follow him to prove that they belong to this circle. In the end, everyone will be assimilated, brainwashed, and do things that they themselves thought were wrong before. Because everyone around them is doing it, they will not feel anything inappropriate."
He Changan was slightly stunned, and looked at her: "I've never heard of this, but it's the truth."
"I think that he is not allowed to return to Beijing for life, and we can still fight for it with the emperor." Hua Chun said: "It's still a bit pitiful to leave home and be buried elsewhere."
Looking up at him, He Chang'an said: "You are right, but as an official, you should not be too kind. Doing things that are not within your duties will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble."
"I know." Huachun nodded. She can't be kind to a woman, but she also has principles and is kind to those who can be kind. He left thousands of miles away and never came back!
When the car arrived at the gate of the prison, Tang Taishi and others were about to be escorted into the prison car.
"Wait." Hua Chun jumped out of the car, went to the jailer and showed his badge, and then successfully pulled Grand Master Tang aside.
"Prime Minister?" Grand Master Tang was astonished. He didn't expect him to come to see him again. Tears welled up in his eyes. He knelt down and kowtowed to her: "I'm sorry, Prime Minister!"
At this age, if you always kneel to her, your life will be shortened! Hua Chun hurriedly squatted down, holding something in his hand and stuffing it into his sleeve.
"I just passed by, thinking that I was an official in the same dynasty, so I came to see you off." She said: "From now on, the sky will be long and the water will be far away. I hope you can appreciate the emperor's long grace and enjoy your old age peacefully."
His lips were trembling constantly, and Taishi Tang was in tears. He stood up holding Hua Chun's hand, looked at her deeply and said, "The words of the prime minister must be remembered by the guilty minister. I have received the favor from the prime minister today. The descendants of the Tang family will surely repay them with grass knots in the future."
It's just a gift, and I didn't expect to be thanked so much. Hua Chun was quite emotional. Probably compared to the icing on the cake, what is more memorable is often the timely delivery of charcoal. She didn't expect anything in return. The old man's life was not easy, and his family property was confiscated. She just stuffed him with a bag of silver, which can be regarded as travel expenses. I hope he can find a place with good mountains and rivers to continue his life.
He Chang'an watched from not far away, watching the man clumsily support Grand Master Tang, and then speaking with sincerity.
He has always felt that it is not easy for a person to climb to the position of prime minister. Even if Hua Jinghua, the prime minister, was tested by himself, he must have certain skills and means to be able to sit firmly.
What happened today was beyond his expectation, and he suddenly understood why the emperor insisted on keeping him in the palace.
Innocence is the deadliest thing in officialdom, but if someone is innocent and kind, probably no one can bear to let him experience the ugliness of the world.
