Vol 2 Chapter 1030: The empress doesn't kill, but only punishes the heart

"If His Royal Highness didn't take a fancy to my Qiniang, wouldn't all this happen?"
Sun Zhuangyuan seemed to be ten years old in a short time, his eyes were exhausted, and his tone became weak and weak.
Gu Jiu said: "Sooner or later, things will be delayed for at most one or two years."
"In other words, the court will move the Sun family anyway?"
"The example is too bad, you have to move." Gu Jiu made a loud voice.
Sun Zhuangyuan looked miserable, "The lady is putting the old man on the stove and roasting!"
Gu Jiu smiled apologetically, "I didn't want to embarrass Mr. Sun. However, since our two families are going to get married, our palace will naturally clear all obstacles in advance."
Sun Zhuangyuan unexpectedly said, "Niangniang is still willing to marry my Qiniang. Isn't she afraid that the grandson after the division of the clan will become the first family in the world again?"
"There won't be another chance like that."
In the future, when the time is right, the court will formulate a series of systems to restrict the development of the family.
The Sun family's delusion to become a Big Mac family again, the influence extends from the literary world to the court, that is a dream.
Dynasties have risen and fallen, and so have families.
"It seems that Niang Niang is ready to make a series of plans for the follow-up. While admiring her deeply, she also feels terrified."
"Mr. Sun need not be afraid, this palace is not a bloodthirsty person."
Sun Zhuangyuan shook his head, "The empress does not kill, but only punishes the heart! Your majesty kills, but does not punish your heart. In comparison, your majesty is more merciful."
Gu Jiu laughed, "Mr. Sun is serious."
Sun Zhuangyuan sighed, "If the old man doesn't agree, will the empress completely destroy the Sun family?"
"If your husband refuses to cooperate with this palace, Mr. Sun's ending must not be willing to see."
"The old man understands! My little seven, He De He Neng, actually caught the eyes of the mother. The day she married the eldest prince, she became a sinner of the Sun family. She can only get limited help from her maiden family, and her future I can’t imagine how difficult it would be. How cruel the mother treated a little girl so cruelly."
Gu Jiu solemnly said: "Being a prince's wife is never an easy task. It may not be bad to cut off the ties with the natal family. That position requires a grandeur and entangled in the interests of the natal family, which is not a good thing."
Sun Zhuangyuan argued: "No one can survive out of the family. The empress does not rely on the foundation laid by the family to achieve what she is today. The empress knows that for women, the family is a reliance, confidence, and courage. Nothing. Family, trembling, there is no grandeur."
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "It depends on Qiniang's personal endurance and Mr. Sun's attitude. If you support her, she will have her family's support. If you refuse to support her, she can only fight alone. ."
Sun Zhuangyuan sighed again and again, "It's not as easy as the mother said. She is guilty of the family, and the family will hate her to the bone. Even the old man is incapable."
"Mister is wrong!"
Gu Jiu said affirmatively: "She is not a sinner, she is the hero of the Sun family. Without her, the Sun family will be uprooted in a few years. By then, the methods of this palace will not be as gentle as they are now, it must be cruel and fierce. It's so hot, no affection. Everyone in the Sun family should be grateful to her. She gave you a new life."
Sun Zhuangyuan frowned, he pointed to the scattered files, "What are these?"
"Only the first evil, not the family."
Gu Jiu is very simple, she can open the net.
Cut the meat with a blunt knife, don't rush it.
She has always been patient, spending several years on the layout, she can afford it.
Just like the layout of the northwest, it took more than ten years to uproot the Pei family and the Northwest Army and send them to Xiliang.
Having lost the Pei family of Luhou, his vitality is greatly injured, and today is not as good as before.
If this generation does not have an outstanding erlang to go into office and stand up, the Pei family will be defeated in 20 to 30 years.
If future generations want to get up again, they will put in ten times more effort than this generation.
This generation of Pei’s family can still lie on the ancestor’s tribute and struggle for a decade or two less.
Wait until the next generation, the next generation, but there is no such good thing.
The ancestors’ merits are not gold and silver mountains, and they will not last a few generations.
Even if it is Jinshan Yinshan, there is one day to finish eating.
Sun Zhuangyuan struggled and hesitated.
His choice will determine the future of the family, the survival of tens of thousands of people.
"Back then, the old man was named the champion, of course he should be an official."
Sun Zhuangyuan recalls the past.
Gu Jiu listened carefully, she was quite interested in old things.
Who makes too few pastimes these years.
Listening to the old imperial calendar is very interesting and can pass the time.
"From the very beginning, the old man was promoted to a bachelor's degree in attendance. He went in and out of the palace every day and served in front of the emperor. He was proud of him and had a boundless future."
Recalling the past, Sun Zhuangyuan is full of regret and resentment.
After so many years, there are already a lot of old bad old men, and they still have troubles.
"Unexpectedly, the girl in Dafang was accused of Prince Renxuan and became a princess. My bachelor's degree at once seemed particularly dazzling and became a thorn in the eyes of the palace. During the period, several accidents occurred, which caused trouble. The emperor was furious. The old man knew that someone in the palace was putting on the old man's shoes, just because he was afraid that the old man would say a good word for the Prince of East Palace in front of the emperor. The old man has decided to resign from his bachelor degree and return to the Imperial Academy to study honestly. After a trickery, he was sent to Lantai Temple by his majesty."
Gu Jiu raised her eyebrows. She was not clear about this passage.
Sun Zhuangyuan smiled bitterly, "Yes, like Zhou Shian, the old man worked in Lantai Temple. However, the old man only worked at Lantai Temple for a month, then resigned and went home and never entered officialdom."
"Because Dafang asked you to leave the court?"
"The old man is a champion, and his surname is Sun. He is a man who wins the eye. Dafang didn't clearly force the old man to resign. It just meant to let the old man stand by himself and don't cause trouble to the Donggong. A champion is in Sun's house. That's nothing. At that time, the old man was also young and vigorous, so he resigned from office in a rage and moved to the mountain courtyard for repairs."
"You resigned, but Dafang didn't keep him? Anyway, you are also the top pick. If you work hard, you can always make a difference."
Sun Zhuangyuan laughed, "The champion is rare, and the Sun family is not rare. It happened to be the year of the Dabian again. Dafang's son, my cousin finally came off and was named Tanhua. With Tanhua Lang, I am The number one scholar who angered the emperor naturally stepped aside."
"Pity!"
The Sun's family is not rare, but Gu Jiu is rare.
Those who can be admitted to the top pick are the most clever people.
The talents are rare, and the Sun family even left the number one scholar in the mountain courtyard for decades.
It's really violent.
"The palace is very fortunate not to miss Mr. Sun."
Sun Zhuangyuan heard this, but wanted to cry.
"If the old man didn't come to the Shanhe Academy to teach, can all this be avoided today?"
Gu Jiu shook his head, "Some things are already doomed and inevitable. What the palace and your majesty want to do, even if the world is criticized and the crowd is raging, it cannot stop us."
"What Niangniang said! Thinking about how much trouble caused by letting Pei family go, your Majesty and Niangniang have never wavered."
Gu Jiu solemnly said: "Since your husband already knows the determination of this palace, why are you still hesitating?"
Sun Zhuangyuan raised his head and pleaded: "Will you please let the empress let go of my Xiaoqi, she should not bear all this, she is not worthy of His Royal Highness."
Gu Jiu asked back, "Mr. thinks that if the palace gives up Xiao Qi, can Xiao Qi be married to a good family? Wind and rain are coming, sure that the future husband-in-law can protect her?"
Elder Sun Zhuangyuan burst into tears, "It's better than marrying the royal family and enduring a lifetime of infamy."
"Mister is wrong again."
Gu Jiu said softly: "I don’t want to comment on what the royal family was like before. Now that the royal family is headed by this palace, it’s natural that this palace has the final say. Whether the prince’s wife can have a foothold in the royal family is not considered her natal family. It is her own ability. The ability is strong enough, even if her natal family is a mess of mud, my palace will support her. If the ability is not good, even if my natal family is the world's first family, my palace still looks down upon her. My daughter-in-law, It can only be a green pine that is not afraid of wind and rain, not a delicate flower in a greenhouse."
Sun Zhuangyuan gaped.
Gu Jiu said again: "You and Dafang are grieving, it's time to settle."
"The old man killed Xiaoqi." Sun Zhuangyuan looked very sad.
Gu Jiu rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Fall! This marriage is not forced, as long as Sun Qiniang says that he is unwilling to marry the eldest prince, this marriage is over. However, the division of the Sun family is imperative, and this palace is absolutely unique. No compromise."
Sun Zhuangyuan was relieved, "Thank you Niang Niang! For the division of the clan, the old man can now be the master and accept Niang Niang. Xiao Qi's marriage, the old man will personally ask her."
"I trust Mr. Sun!"
"The old man never dared to deceive his mother."
The matter was over, and Sun Zhuangyuan left.
His steps are heavier than they were when he first came, and his figure looked like autumn leaves, with a bit of depression.
Liu Zhao walked out from inside.
Gu Jiu leaned in his arms, "Am I persecuting too much? Mr. Sun looks pitiful."
"Is your heart soft?" Liu Zhao asked her.
Gu Jiu shook his head, "It's not that I am soft-hearted, but I am thinking that the means can be more gentle."
Liu Zhao said: "They are all old foxes. If your methods are gentle, Old Man Sun will definitely not agree to Fenzong. The family supports him, and he is loyal to the family."
"It is not so much that he is loyal to the family, it is better to say that he is afraid that he will not face to see his ancestors after death, and that he is afraid that his innocence will be ruined, and he will be infamy for all generations.
"The name before and after him, the scholar has been asking for this all his life. Forcing him to be the sinner of the Sun family, he must hate you and me in his heart. No wonder he is unwilling to marry his granddaughter into the royal family."
"It's not that you have to marry the grandson, although Sun Qiniang is indeed a good match." Gu Jiu had already figured it out.
Marriage matters, of course, are yours.
Born in distress, talents will become stronger.
Gu Jiu looked forward to Sun Qiniang after she became stronger.
However, if Sun Qiniang refused to marry, she could only find another marriage for Liu Yu.
