Chapter 234 I heard you don’t have a father, so I’ll come and be your father.
Yuan Ruan: [Ah? Is it related to the previous national destiny mission? I remember that it was to find a good man for Shi's mother. How did you determine that the seven sons of the Shi family were complete in their mother-control mental state? Tell me quickly.]
Crowd: !!!
What, something related to the national destiny mission? !
When it came to the topic of melons, even the emotional Minister of War became distracted.
System: [Okay, do you still remember Captain Zhaoxin? ]
Yuan Ruan was stunned for a moment and pinched his chin: [Ah, is it the man who ended up with the daughter of his fiancée who ran away from his marriage? ]
System: [Yes, that's him. Your nephew has found out that his mother once harbored a traitor. But considering that Captain Zhaoxin took the initiative to admit his fault and cooperated well, your nephew gave him a chance to go to the battlefield and make merit to atone for his sins.]
Yuan Ruan: [And then he was killing everyone on the battlefield? He was so handsome that he was noticed by Shi's mother?!]
The court officials looked embarrassed.
System: [Pfft. Not really. Captain Zhao Xin had some ability. He took down several people from the Chen Kingdom and the Xiongnu soon after he arrived, and rose from a commoner to a squad leader. One day, when he was on patrol, he encountered the Chen Kingdom army sneaking into the rear of Daxia. He saved a pregnant woman. After repelling the sneak attack by the Chen Kingdom army, the pregnant woman went into labor in panic. Afterwards, he hurriedly helped the pregnant woman give birth.]
Courtiers: !!!
What kind of skills are these? Helping with childbirth?
Yuanruan was surprised: [So amazing? He also learned midwifery skills?! ]
System: [No. He is the only one in the entire baggage transport team who has some first aid experience. He is helping without hesitation. And the pregnant woman is the mother of the seventh son of the Shi family.]
Court officials: ???
My goodness, this is a story of a hero saving a beautiful girl.
Yuan Ruan: [Ah? Eight sons now? What a heroic mother. So their true friendship was revealed in this time of trouble?]
System: [There are still seven children. The last one is a little sister. No, they did not have any sparks of love this time. It is still this little baby that brings about the marriage.]
People are curious about how babies find their marriage partners.
System continues: [Mother Shi and her seven sons dote on this little sister, and the little sister especially likes to stick to Captain Zhao Xin. If she is not held by him, she will cry loudly. Mother Shi has no choice but to come to Captain Zhao Xin frequently. Captain Zhao Xin has many brothers and sisters of his own, and is very good at coaxing children and babies at home. In modern terms, he is a person with the temperament of a nanny. Mother Shi has watched him for a long time and became a little curious about him. She asked others how old Captain Zhao Xin's child was and how he was so good at raising children.]
Yuan Ruan: [Hiss, this plot seems familiar to me! Did the person being asked answer that Captain Zhao Xin had no children, had never been in love, and had never even been married.]
System: [Hahaha! Yes, yes, that's it. You know, Shi's mother was extremely curious about him. Although people in ancient times were sexually liberal, they also liked people who kept themselves clean.]
Yuan Ruan: [I understand. And then the Shi family's mother fell in love with him? ]
System: [A little bit. Shi's mother was a little bit partial to her daughter because she was close to him. After all, Captain Zhaoxin was tall and handsome, and treated people with nobleness and friendliness, so he was still very attractive. Then, ten days ago, Chen State sent troops to besiege Daxia's baggage transportation, and someone was needed to be in charge of the baggage transport. Shi's mother pushed her daughter into Captain Zhaoxin's arms and took over herself.]
Yuan Ruan: [Oh, the beauty saves the hero! It's just a bit rash. ]
System: [Don’t be reckless. Shi’s mother saw her eldest son lying in ambush not far away and giving a signal. She wanted to win the man’s favor, so she rushed forward.]
Yuan Ruan's mouth twitched: [Pfft, what a routine. And then? Both parties have feelings for each other?! ]
System: [How should I put it. Captain Zhao Xin also has some feelings for Shi's mother. After all, she is a beautiful woman with a charming temperament, and the two of them are working together to open up wasteland in a cold and bitter land. It seems like they are just going with the flow. Later, when Shi's son angrily pursued the Chen army and took over Chen's Wuhua City, Shi's mother confessed her feelings to the man.]
Yuan Ruan: [And the national destiny mission is considered completed?! ]
At this moment, the system suddenly almost laughed out of the electronic screen: [No, no. Hahahaha… At that time, Shi Jiazi felt that the man had bad intentions, so he went to the man’s house with a knife, and happened to run into Shi Jiamu. Shi Jiamu was furious and asked them to kneel down. At this time, the man also came out, and he… Hahahaha, he said, "I heard that you have no father since childhood, I will be your father!"]
The onlookers almost burst into tears after hearing this: !!!
Yuan Ruan: [Pfft! Is he a fool? Isn't this provocative? Hahahaha...]
System: [Yes. If he hadn’t finished speaking and knelt down to show his sincerity, I’m afraid he would have died. But it was only after this kneeling that Shi Jiazi acquiesced.]
…
Yuanruan also gossiped with the system about some little stories about their bitter and cold land.
The emperor retracted his gaze, reconsidered the words of the Minister of War, looked at the other court officials, and asked, "What do you think?"
The courtiers looked at each other in bewilderment.
The Prince's tutor stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I think that the Minister of War's suggestion to use the excuse that the Queen Mother colluded with the Chen State envoys to force her to die is inappropriate and will still cause trouble."
If it were someone else, the emperor would definitely think that this person was trying to absolve the empress dowager of the blame and he would be angry, but when he saw the strong and powerful Prince's tutor.
The emperor still showed some patience and asked one more question: "What does the prince's tutor want to do?"
The Prince's tutor bowed and said, "I have thought about it. It would be better to just say that it was the Chen State's envoys who killed the Queen Mother and put all the blame on the Chen State."
Emperor: Satisfied.
The other officials almost staggered: Killing people is just a crime, you are so good at splashing dirty water.
Prime Minister Li couldn't help but ask, "Master Taifu, if you use this reason, are you going to let go of the relatives, servants, and forces who followed the Queen Mother from the State of Chu?"
The Prince's tutor looked at Prime Minister Li in astonishment and said, "Why do you think so?"
Prime Minister Li was also confused. Isn't this the reason you gave?! The Queen Mother was killed by the Chen State envoys, so the government should pay money to appease the Queen Mother's power?
At this moment, the system and the Crown Prince's tutor sneered at almost the same time.
System: [Just accuse the Queen Mother's forces of "colluding with the Chen State delegation and murdering the Queen Mother" and other crimes, confiscate their property and exterminate their clan. They are not innocent anyway.]
The Prince's Tutor: "Give the Queen Mother some charges of 'colluding with the Chen State envoys and murdering the Queen Mother', confiscate their property and exterminate their clan."
Prime Minister Li:!!!
OK, OK, that's how we play it, right? It makes sense, nothing to say.
However, when the Prince's tutor finished talking about confiscating the property and exterminating the clan of the Queen Mother's related forces, several court officials still stood up to express their opposition.
It was probably because the Empress Dowager was involved in a huge number of powerful officials and nobles. If their property was confiscated, it would be a blow to the ruling of Daxia. While they were talking, they also quietly tried to win over people. For example, at the beginning, they did not propose to kill the Empress Dowager.
Unexpectedly, the Minister of Revenue avoided the other party and claimed that he supported this resolution.
The Imperial Household Department's Shaoqing, who was in charge of the pulling, was stunned and said subconsciously: "Sir Shangshu, don't you support killing the Queen Mother?"
The Minister of Revenue looked at him strangely: "I wanted to imprison him before because I didn't want to tarnish the reputation of Daxia and the young imperial tutor. But now it will not tarnish his reputation, and we will also confiscate his property."
The Shaoqing of the Imperial Household Department was even more confused: "Ah?!"
The Minister of Revenue lowered his head and fiddled with his abacus, then ignored him.
Seeing that he was about to speak, the official's accomplice could not help but pull him back: "Most of the money seized from the confiscations went into the national treasury. What the hell are you trying to persuade him for?! You might as well persuade the Minister of Justice. There are too many prisoners, and he might not even be bothered to say a word."
Imperial Household Department Shaoqing: ...
The emperor allowed his officials to quarrel.
He took a glance and then carried Yuanruan to the other side to admire the flowers.
Yuan Ruan: [Brother, you just don't care? Doesn't he even watch the court officials quarrel and wait for the outcome? ]
System: [What result is your brother waiting for? Once he makes up his mind, no one can change his mind. He is nothing more than a channel for the court officials to vent their emotions. The court officials themselves know that your brother is quite considerate.]
Yuan Ruan: [Pfft. The court officials themselves know this? Then what are they arguing about?]
The system sighed with a sad face: [People still need to have dreams. What if something I said touches your brother and changes his mind?]
Yuanruan: [6]
