Chapter 363 I Saw a Mouse
Everyone has the life they want to live. What others say is good may not be what you like.
So don't listen to what others say, but look at what you do.
There is always a voice in Wei Jie'er's heart telling her how to go and where to go in the future.
The burden on her gradually became heavier, but she was willing to accept it.
Her grandmother had already given her the token of Xunlu Girls' School.
When she was a child, she followed her grandmother to every place where Xunlu Girls' School was located. She knew that this was the result of her grandmother's hard work.
She was worried about leaving this thing in someone else's hands, so after she accepted the queen's offer, her first reaction was to think of it.
It grew stronger and stronger, able to support itself, and quietly changed many things.
There are three older children and two younger children in the family. They play carefree every day.
Because there are tall people who provide them with a roof over their heads.
As for the adults in the family, time will not wait for them. They are busy, as if preparing for something.
Duan Jingzong found his own career, and many simple drawing books in the capital came from his pen.
Having lived in seclusion for many years, he read many miscellaneous stories. Inspired by his mother, he compiled them into concise and profound stories.
Every copy was bought by Xunlu Girls' School and then printed and published uniformly.
Mrs. Lu is still busy with all the household chores all day long and has no time to relax.
Ding Meishu also follows her sister-in-law, and she can help with some things. The relationship between the sister-in-law and the sister-in-law is very harmonious.
Duan Jing'an has worked very hard over the years and has promoted himself to the position of Langzhong in the Ministry of Justice.
As of now, the location will not change much for the time being.
After Mr. Guo resigned, he recommended his father-in-law Ding Haimo to the position of Minister of Justice.
Because Ding Haimo was not good at speaking in his early years, although the Emperor of Chu valued his abilities, he was not very close to him.
But now, the King of Chu was full of suspicion, and he liked this minister who didn't like to talk but only liked to act more and more.
Therefore, if you are not valued by your leader, it is not your own problem, but depends on the leader's preferences.
Ding Haimo is now successful in his career and is highly valued by the Emperor of Chu. He helps the Emperor of Chu purge the court, especially those who he thinks have ulterior motives.
Just as Mr. Guo said, Ding Haimo is not a shrewd person and is very capable in his work. He is a typical person who is good at something but difficult to say.
He never asked why or questioned His Majesty's orders, he just did whatever His Majesty said.
Many people privately said that he was His Majesty's dog, a dog that would not bite.
But in this court, who is not a dog of the Emperor of Chu?
We are all the same, so don't criticize anyone else.
No, there are also differences.
It was a mouse, a mouse that the Emperor of Chu had been observing for a long time, a mouse hiding in his house.
The rat was so fat and big that the King of Chu wanted to catch it and kill it, but it seemed to be greased and escaped from his hands many times.
When the first snow of this winter fell, the heads of the family of Ma, the Minister of Rites, fell to the ground.
It happened so suddenly that everyone in the capital felt insecure.
The Emperor of Chu became increasingly unpredictable. One crime led to the beheading of an important court official.
There is no time to beg for mercy or stop it.
They all began to hold their breath, fearing that they would do something wrong one day and get their heads chopped off.
The King of Chu's domineering aura deterred the bad practices in the court.
When the palace servant reported, the Emperor of Chu was teasing the hyacinth macaw in a golden cage.
"Long live His Majesty, long live His Majesty."
The parrot was blue with only the area around and under its eyes being yellow. It opened and closed its beak, repeating the four words.
The Emperor of Chu smiled, but there were at least three layers of wrinkles on his face, and he still looked very old.
After the palace maid finished speaking, the Emperor of Chu put down what he was holding.
Xiao Degui quickly asked someone to bring a clean handkerchief to wipe the Emperor of Chu.
"Since he's dead, consider it as paying for his sins."
The meaning is that once a person dies, he will not pursue the matter any further. His relatives should collect the body and handle the funeral.
The King of Chu felt that he was still too kind.
Such a minister who collaborates with the enemy should be cut into pieces.
When a secret letter was sent back that year, the Emperor of Chu noticed unusual movements in the court. He ordered his people to keep an eye on it and traced the cause back to the State of Ma.
That person was very meticulous, and the clues ended here.
As for substantial evidence, the Emperor of Chu had none.
But the Emperor of Chu was the Son of Heaven, and if the Emperor was angry, someone would have to pay the price.
The Emperor of Chu didn't need any reason to kill people. He seemed to have returned to the time when he first ascended the throne.
As for the King of Chu, there was no reason at all to kill people back then.
When he was still a prince, he was disliked by the previous emperor because of his violent behavior. The emperor believed that he was not thoughtful in his work and put his own preferences first.
Four years after the crown prince was appointed, the late emperor was still alive, and he pretended to be the crown prince for four years in order to succeed to the throne smoothly.
After the late emperor left, he was still very patient at first.
But later the queen left, and the violent nature in the Emperor of Chu rose again.
At that time he killed many people, including his own brothers.
Only by killing them will these court officials obey.
Kill one, two, three, and they will gradually become obedient.
It is easier to manage if people are honest.
Now those people have forgotten what happened back then, and he doesn't mind revisiting it for them. After all, he is old and he can only live as many years as he can.
After the Emperor of Chu imprisoned all those who had been involved with the rebels and the blood on the execution ground could not be washed away, the censor could no longer sit still.
"If you plead for the rebels, you will be treated as their accomplices and punished with the same crime."
With one word from the King of Chu, they became silent like chickens with their necks pinched.
Anyone who dares to get involved with the rebels will be like an old man hanging himself because he is tired of living.
Fortunately, this vigorous season of reckoning with traitors has finally come to a halt.
This winter is so cold that it makes people shiver.
"You deserve it. I was so scared that I married such an unfaithful and unrighteous person. Bah."
Chu Qinmei was sitting in the room, opposite Prince Rui who was having tea.
There was hatred in Chu Qinmei's eyes, but her face looked very happy.
"Fortunately, fortunately I ran fast. The old witch is happy now. She is living a good life in the underworld with her unborn grandson."
The beautiful Chu Qin was talking to her father with great joy. The smug look on her face made Prince Rui's mouth twitch.
"Eleven, Baoshou is still here. You are an aunt, so please be more restrained."
Chu Qinmei looked at her nephew sitting on the other side and felt a surge of love in her heart.
She had no children and was unable to have any, so she treated her nephew like her own.
Over the years, she had been oppressed by her ex-mother-in-law because she had no children, and even her husband began to get tired of her.
It was by chance that she saw through the true face of that family.
When she learned that her infertility was caused by her husband's concubine, she was heartbroken and resolutely asked for a divorce.
She has ten sisters, and although some of them are not in the capital, they all stand with her.
Baoshou brought his aunts to pick her up.
