After taking a deep breath, Ji Keji's brain was awakened by the big words "King Anxi Huo Yun".
This great general is definitely one of the great heroes of this dynasty.
He has a noble status and his family is full of loyal and brave people.
In that battle in the northwest, he inflicted a heavy blow to the invading Hulu Khan at the cost of the tragic death of his entire family.
The enemy was so frightened that they did not dare to send troops for thirty years.
Therefore, the Huo family is not only loyal and brave, but also has made great contributions to the country.
The only remaining drop of blood in the Huo family is sometimes more noble than the royal bloodline.
A saint cannot bear the stigma of "treating meritorious officials poorly and being harsh to orphans."
Not to mention that the historical pen is as sharp as a knife, even the veteran generals in the army and the scholars in the capital would not agree.
Especially since there is the example of Princess Yongjia, who died young.
Although he died of illness, the royal family also bears some responsibility.
Queen Mother Han: ...It’s really unfair.
When she married her adopted daughter back to her parents' home, she did have some selfish motives, but it was also for her own good.
She always thought that it was the Han family, and the wealth of the entire family depended on her.
Regardless of blood relationship, if we only consider her as the empress dowager, she would treat Princess Yongjia, whom she raised, well.
However, Queen Mother Han forgot that the Han family was indeed her mother's family, but she was not the one in charge.
Her sister-in-law, the wife of the Duke of Han, also had her own considerations - she wanted to strengthen the relationship and make her niece her daughter-in-law.
The Duke's wife also disliked Princess Yongjia very much.
First, she was just a fake princess and not of royal blood;
Second, all his relatives have died, which obviously means he has a tough life.
Han Chong is her most beloved and most promising son, but she has no say in his marriage.
The Empress Dowager arranged the marriage, and although the Duke's wife was dissatisfied, she dared not show it, and had to accept the marriage "joyfully".
Han Chong is indeed the most outstanding and most outstanding son of the Han family.
But he is also proud.
He might not dislike Princess Yongjia as much as her own mother does, but he also wouldn't try to please her like a normal prince consort.
Princess Yongjia herself was also a proud person.
When two strong-willed people get together, conflicts are likely to arise.
When there is a conflict, no one is willing to give in, and after this happens too often, they become a couple of resentful towards each other.
But Princess Yongjia was a woman, an orphan with all her relatives dead, and she happened to give birth to a child. These several reasons combined made her depressed and she eventually died of depression.
If Princess Yongjia was a real princess, and if she did not marry the nephew whom the empress dowager valued the most, her husband would be held accountable even if he died of illness.
If one is not careful, the whole family may suffer the consequences.
Princess Yongjia happened to be an adopted daughter, and her in-laws were the Empress Dowager's family, so the Empress Dowager was caught in the middle and was in a dilemma.
In the end, the death of Princess Yongjia due to illness was resolved into a small matter.
As for Han Chong, he was only symbolically "exiled" to the local area by the Empress Dowager, and was not allowed to be promoted and return to Beijing for several years.
The Queen Mother felt that she had already made the decision for her adopted daughter.
But everyone knows that she is biased towards her mother's family.
Princess Yongjia is not an ordinary adopted daughter, she is the descendant of a loyal and brave person.
With her death, the royal family has been branded as the one who bore the stigma of being a hero.
So, when it came to Princess Nanping, the Empress Dowager might have felt guilty and distressed, and the Emperor might have wanted to quell some rumors, so this supreme mother and son pair almost doted on Princess Nanping.
Her status in the capital and the imperial palace was extremely transcendent.
To put it bluntly, even if Brother Ji had offended a real princess, it wouldn't be so serious.
Ji Keji is not stupid, on the contrary he is very smart.
He just had it too easy in the past few years and was praised too highly, so he felt a little proud.
Moreover, he has little experience and lacks certain political literacy.
After Zheng Dalang's suggestion, Ji Keji understood it instantly.
Swish!
A layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.
"Brother, what should we do?"
"Should I go to the Han family in person to apologize?"
Ji Keji was panicking. He had realized that if this matter was not handled properly, he might be implicated!
Xiao Qillang is the same. He knows nothing, but he dares to rush around in the capital.
Do you really think that I, your eldest brother, am some important person?
I'm just a juren!
Even if I passed the imperial examination and was appointed an official, I would still have to start from the sixth or seventh rank.
And what the capital city lacks the least is officials!
"No need! Grandfather will go and apologize."
When Zheng Dalang saw that Ji Keji was still afraid, he knew that this man could still be saved.
He said calmly, "Besides, the nobleman's guards punished Xiao Qilang on the spot, which means that the matter has been settled."
If the guards hadn't taken action, this would have been a problem.
Ji Keji's face was filled with shame. He bowed to Zheng Dalang and said, "It's all my fault for not disciplining my family well. I caused trouble and implicated my grandfather!"
Ji Keji understood what Zheng Dalang meant by this -
Although the matter was settled, Xiao Qilang shouted out the name of "Lord Zheng" in the street, so Zheng Qi, the person involved, could not pretend to be dead.
He must send someone, or even go to the Han family in person to apologize.
If the Han family doesn't care about it at this time, the matter will be completely over.
Seeing Ji Keji bowing to him and no longer showing his ignorant arrogance, Zheng Dalang's eyes finally showed some warmth.
However, Ji Xiaosi still needs to be observed, and he also needs to listen to his sister's opinion.
…
"I?"
Zheng Wanjun felt a little strange and didn't quite understand what his brother meant.
"Jun'er, you have been precocious and intelligent since childhood, with a keen mind."
