However, when Zhou Changying came forward, Liu Qingyuan panicked, he knew the temper of the eldest princess. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoAlthough Zhou Changying has not appeared in front of people for so many years, people have gradually forgotten Her Royal Highness the heroic and resolute eldest princess. However, Zhou Changying's fearlessness and steadfastness made Liu Qingyuan have to worry about the Liu family.
Carefully investigated, Liu Qingyuan was the chief judge back then, and it is difficult to escape the blame no matter what, not to mention, although the Ning family's mansion and property are all in the treasury, there are many valuable antiques and calligraphy and paintings, which are still in his Liu Xiang's mansion until now.
So, Liu Qingyuan was the first to stand up and make a proposal to the emperor, suggesting that the emperor still pardon the crimes of the Ning family in the name of amnesty for the world, and sympathize with the orphans of the Ning family, and return the old mansion of the Ning Mansion to Ning Wufu.
However, Zhou Changying and Zhou Tianzheng immediately objected, saying that the orphans of the Ning family must not be allowed to continue to be wronged, they must correct the name of the Ning family, they must give justice to the Ning family, and they must let the descendants of the Ning family raise their heads and behave as human beings, and give them reasonable compensation.
Zhou Tianhong thought that Zhou Tian was doing this, just to curry favor with Zhou Changying and get Zhou Changying's help. Of course, he was unwilling to let Zhou Tianzheng succeed, so he bluntly stated Zhou Tianzheng's purpose in public, and reprimanded his younger brother for embarrassing his father in order to please his aunt, causing turmoil in the court and making people panic.
Zhou Tianzheng said in public that Ning Wuwu was his confidante, and when he didn't know Ning Wuwu's identity, he already had a deep friendship with Ning Wuwu. Now that she already knows her life experience and experience, and knows that the suffering she has suffered over the years is owed to her by the Zhou dynasty and the imperial court, she can't sit idly by and watch it no matter what.
Then, Lin Zhihuai also came out to play a round, saying that since this is the case, it is better to let the Criminal Department retry the case to see if there is really a grievance. Even if the punishment was unfair back then, it was because of the special circumstances of that year, in order to stabilize the political situation and for the sake of peace in the world, that unjust, false and wrongly decided cases were caused. After so many years, the emperor is willing to give justice to the Ning family, and no one will question the emperor's will back then, but will only think that the emperor is kind-hearted, fair and strict, and dares to admit and correct mistakes. The people will only praise the emperor more and trust the court more.
As soon as Lin Zhihuai said this, he was immediately supported by Zhou Tianzheng, Zhao Zhengxiang, Wang Yushi and Shen Yushi, and they all stepped forward and knelt in front of the emperor together, imploring the emperor to order a retrial of the case.
Zhou Changan looked at his son and minister kneeling in front of him, and his heart was repeatedly entangled. Yesterday, the Queen Mother had already told him that Zhou Changying wanted to rehabilitate the Ning family, but he did not agree, and the Queen Mother was not reluctant. However, this morning, Zhou Tian mentioned this matter again in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and if he forcibly suppressed this matter, how would he explain it to his courtiers and the people? Not to mention that these imperial historians would not let him go.
Seeing Zhou Chang'an's hesitation, Zhou Changying slowly opened his mouth word by word, and said, "Your Majesty, do you also want me, the imperial sister, to kneel down to you with my sick leg?"
Zhou Chang'an frowned, feeling a big headache, he, the imperial sister, has always failed to achieve her goal, and she will not give up, if she is asked to kneel for herself, she will eventually agree, and she will also have to bear the infamy of being unkind and unjust, wouldn't it be worth the loss?
Zhou Changying said, he was already holding the armrest of the wheelchair with both hands, and wanted to stand up.
Zhou Changan hurriedly pressed Zhou Changying's arm, nodded in agreement, and said, "Why should the imperial sister be like this? ”
Zhou Changying was overjoyed in his heart, and thanked him loudly and happily, saying, "Thank you Emperor Longen!"
Zhou Changan sighed helplessly, and instructed Zhao Zhengxiang: "Zhao Aiqing, this matter will be handed over to you, you must find out the truth and give justice to the Ning family." ”
Zhao Zhengxiang immediately kowtowed to receive the decree and said, "Yes, the emperor, the ministers obey the order!"
Zhou Changan nodded, feeling extremely tired, waved his hand, and ordered everyone to retreat.
The ministers said goodbye and left, but Zhou Changan stopped Zhou Changying and said sincerely: "Sister Huang, for so many years, for the affairs of the Ning family, you have been angry with me and the queen mother. Now, I have ordered a retrial of this case, and I will definitely give justice to the Ning family. I only hope that there will be no more estrangement between our sisters and brothers, and I hope that you can enter the palace more often to accompany your mother. The queen mother often talks about you, and yesterday she called me and mentioned to me the matter of rehabilitating the Ning family. Imperial Sister, I know that you have a strong temperament, but after so many years, you should be able to understand the difficulties of me and my mother. ”
Zhou Changying was silent, and after listening to Zhou Changan's true feelings for such a long paragraph, he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart. At that time, their mother was not so easy to become the queen, as children, she and Zhou Changan also experienced a long court struggle, at that time, they had a deep love for sisters and brothers, unity and tacit understanding, and unanimous to the outside world. It can be said that Lu Qishan became the queen, and even became the emperor for Zhou Changan, all of which had a share of Zhou Changying's contributions.
Although Zhou Changying had a good relationship with King Wu, he still fully supported Zhou Changan when fighting for the throne. It's just that after Zhou Chang'an ascended the throne later, he didn't agree with Zhou Chang'an to kill King Wu, so their sisters and brothers had differences of opinion, and finally caused such a tragedy.
After a long time, Zhou Changying nodded, raised his eyes to look at Zhou Changan, and said emotionally: "Brother Huang, you also know that Sister Huang, I have been living in guilt and repentance for so many years. I finally found no worries, and God gave me a chance to atone for my sins, and I hope you can help me. ”
Zhou Changan nodded, and said without hesitation: "This is what I owe you, I owe the Ning family, I know what to do, please rest assured." ”
Zhou Changying smiled slightly, nodded, and said, "It's not early today, I'll go to the palace to visit my mother another day, and I'll go back to the house first." ”
Zhou Changan nodded with satisfaction and instructed Zhou Tianzheng to personally send Zhou Changying back to the eldest princess's mansion.
Zhou Tianzheng happily accepted this mission, sent Zhou Changying back in person, and said that he wanted to help investigate the case of the Ning family back then, and only sent Zhou Changying outside the mansion, and immediately rushed to the criminal department.
After listening to Zhou Changying's narration, Ning Wuwu was in a complicated mood. For so many years, she buried the hatred in her heart deeply, she never thought that one day she could rehabilitate the Ning family, nor did she think of forgiving the executioners who killed her parents and family. However, if she is really rehabilitated, it means that she must abandon her past suspicions and accept the emperor's gift. Moreover, in order for the Ning family to return to the capital, she must face the temptation and mercy of these powerful people in the capital.
In this regard, Ning Wuwu's heart was resistant and timid, and he was uneasy for a while.
