Chapter 857: Unselfish Ji's parents and grandsons
Chapter 857 The Unselfish Ji's Grandson
When Ji Huaizhang rushed to the post office in the state capital, Ji Rongheng had already prepared tea and waited in the living room for a long time.
Looking at his nephew's quiet expression, not surprised at his arrival, Ji Huaizhang sat down slowly, and asked suspiciously: "Rong Heng knew I would come?"
"Yes, the queen said that uncle will definitely come."
Ji Rongheng sipped his tea slowly and replied.
"Queen?"
Ji Huaizhang was even more puzzled.
"yes."
Ji Rongheng raised his eyes and looked at him with a fake smile: "It is well known that my uncle dotes on Aunt Sun's Qinghe Land, and now that her brother and nephew have committed such a serious crime, how can uncle just watch his father and son put down the law, and let Sun's son die?" Auntie is sad."
"The queen really can read people's hearts."
Thinking of the Zhoukang County incident and the Queen sneaking into Dangyang City without anyone noticing, and finding out all these things in just one month, Ji Huaizhang sighed.
But Ji Rongheng didn't want to hear him pleading for the filthy officials in Dangyang City, so he immediately changed the subject: "Now the causes of the deaths of Lu Huan, Xia Yuan, and Fang Qingyue have all been found out, and justice has been sought for Uncle and the Ji family. Uncle When are you going to leave for Beijing to report on your duties?"
"Return to Beijing to report on your work?"
Ji Huaizhang squinted his eyes solemnly: "Rong Heng, do you really think that His Majesty will forgive my Ji family if I go back to Beijing?"
"It's because my Ji family's family style is not upright, and I violated the laws and regulations first. Even if His Majesty blames my Ji family, it is reasonable. What complaints does uncle have?"
Ji Rongheng said righteously: "I am overjoyed to be able to lead the army in the land of Qinghe, and to be given a marriage by my ancestors. I am very happy to be so valued by Your Majesty. I should have complained that my uncle and the elders of the clan have been involved so far, but Thinking of the kindness of my uncle and the elders in teaching and nurturing, I don't hate my uncle, but now I only hope that my uncle, like the rest of the elders, will know how to go astray, make up for what has been done, and leave a way for my descendants of the Ji family to survive."
"That's why I came today."
Ji Huaizhang looked at his nephew firmly, shook his head and said, "But it's not like returning to Beijing with a disgraced face."
Ji Rongheng suddenly became vigilant, stood up and asked, "Uncle really wants to rebel?"
"The imperial court is unfair to my Ji family, so what if it's the other way around?"
Ji Huaizhang also got up and confronted him: "Uncle still holds power in his hands, and His Majesty can still be afraid of my Ji family. Once I return to Beijing, the whole family will become fish on the chopping board and can only be slaughtered. Heng, have you ever thought about this?"
"Uncle has been doing nothing in office these years, neglecting government affairs, but the late emperor and the ancestors have been thinking of the merits of your uncle and father, and have always let you take Tanzhou, but you not only hide yourself from the army to reclaim the land, but also allow the nobles to use all means to exploit it. It is a debt of grace for the common people to evade the court's tax money to support the trilogy, don't think these little nephews don't know about it."
Ji Rongheng reproached angrily: "But even so, the queen did not accuse you, but let you escape from Zhoukang County and return to the state capital. You still think that the imperial court is not guilty of my Ji family. On the heads of ordinary people, even a hundred heads can't make up for their crimes."
"It is precisely because I am the governor of Tanzhou now, and Qinghe Sanzhou hides an incalculable trilogy team, that the queen dare not accuse me. Don't you understand the pros and cons of this?"
Ji Huaizhang was also flushed with anger.
But thinking of his nephew's prestige in the Ji family and even in the imperial army, he still calmed down, and persuaded earnestly: "Your aunt grandson is weak and pitiful, and she is a miserable person. Your aunt has been ill for a long time. It is only because of your Auntie Sun who takes care of the housework for me that I can live a peaceful life these years, do you have the heart to watch such a miserable person suffer another calamity?"
"She is weak and pitiful? Hard life? This is simply a big joke."
Ji Rongheng shook his head helplessly: "I'm afraid that in the whole city of Tanzhou, only my uncle thinks she has a hard life. A mere concubine can win thousands of favors from the lord, and now she has extended her hand to the government affairs of Tanzhou. How can she be pitiful?"
After a pause, his voice changed sharply, and his expression suddenly became cautious: "I heard that my aunt is also healthy and healthy, and she hasn't suffered from any root disease since she was in her boudoir. Why is she so sick all these years? I'm not afraid of my uncle's scolding. A few days ago, when I was in my hometown, I heard the elders mention it in private, saying that my aunt’s illness was very strange.”
"You can hear those gossips."
Ji Huaizhang scolded dissatisfiedly: "Your aunt is the niece of my ancestors. She is the wife who was bestowed on me by my ancestors himself. She will continue to have children for my Ji family. Would I still go to harm her just because I have your grandson?" Over the years, I have even asked famous doctors from Qinghe to treat her because of her illness. They all said that it was a disease accumulated during childbirth. Your Aunt Sun also took good care of her, and did not treat her poorly because of her family Children, how dare you raise these doubts?"
"This is uncle's family matter, so it's inconvenient for my nephew to ask."
Ji Rongheng brought the topic back to the important point again: "Please tell my uncle clearly, when will you leave for Beijing?"
"If I refuse to obey, what should Rong Heng do?"
Ji Huaizhang tentatively opened his angry eyes.
Ji Rongheng immediately drew out his sword: "Uncle is an elder, my nephew shouldn't be disrespectful, but in order to preserve the reputation of the Ji family, today my nephew can only kill his relatives righteously, first kill his uncle and then commit suicide to make amends for his uncle, so that the queen can also know Mind."
"In this way, our Ji family has no room for maneuver."
Ji Huaizhang said in a deep voice: "Does Rong Heng really think that killing me will solve the hidden dangers of Qinghe's trilogy?"
Ji Rongheng's eyes froze for a moment, then gradually became silent, and he immediately understood the pros and cons of it.
I think this is also the reason why the queen didn't ask her uncle.
After a long silence, he took out the box that his grandfather and grandmother had given him, put it on the coffee table with a heavy face, and said in a solemn voice:
"Previously, my grandfather and grandmother were very dissatisfied with the queen because of the princess's entry into the palace. Even my nephew committed the following crimes because of a moment of confusion. On the contrary, he repayed his grievances with virtue, and tried his best to persuade His Majesty not to send troops to Tanzhou. If it was not for the preservation of our Ji family and the stability of the empire, why would she come to Tanzhou for the safety of the empire? Uncle ask yourself, you are worthy of the queen. Did you take pains?"
Looking at Bai Ling on the table, and listening to his nephew's loud voice, Ji Huaizhang's expression gradually became serious.
Ji Rongheng continued: "If the queen has any selfish intentions, she only needs to watch from the sidelines and watch her majesty's lion enter Tanzhou. Even though Tanzhou is a place where dragons and tigers den, her majesty's million troops are enough to flatten Tanzhou city. Home is my gateway to the world, why should she do such thankless things?"
Hearing this, Ji Huaizhong was finally moved: "That's right, Lord Taiwei and eldest brother secretly confiscated the land and property of the Tang family. Although they were dismissed from office, His Majesty did not treat the two families lightly. An Jia was granted the title of Duke, and Rong Heng inherited the title of our Second Household. Your Majesty is magnanimous, and the Empress understands righteousness. Instead, I have inherited the merits of my elder brother and third younger brother in Tanzhou, complaining and giving up on myself. I have indeed shamed the children and grandchildren of the Ji family. "
"Grandfather and grandmother are deeply moved by the Queen's great kindness, and their loyalty to uncle and my children and grandchildren of the Ji family cannot be doubted. Day, that is when grandparents hate Jiuquan."
Ji Rongheng put away his sword, covered the box and walked away.
Ji Huaizhang looked at the heavy box but could not let go of it for a long time.
I have been depressed for many years, and I have already owed the grace of the saints. If I bear the reputation of being unfilial because of the Sun family father and son, what face will I have to enter the Ji family's ancestral hall in the future.
