Chapter VIII: Grievances

"No need, she's not in good health, she needs to recuperate, and I won't bother if I'm okay with your father. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Min Yuan's face was pale, and he didn't want to mention it.

Yi Ying smiled and nodded, her mother didn't mention that she wouldn't go to Yu's place to find her unhappy. Something suddenly came to mind. After she was rescued by Lian Jingqian that day, she told him a secret of the Changxin Hou Mansion, and I don't know if his affairs have progressed now.

Seeing that she was distracted, Min Yuan smiled and said, "What do you think?"

Yi Ying hooked the corners of her mouth, blinked her eyes, and asked Minyuan in a low voice: "Mother, what kind of person do you think Lao Ding'an Gong is?"

Min Yuan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but say, "Why did you suddenly ask about him?" and motioned for the maids to step back, and some complicated meaning flashed on his face.

She shook her head and smiled, "It's nothing. It's just that since I was a child, I have heard a lot of deeds of the old Ding'an Gong who fought bravely to kill the enemy back then, and I don't believe that he will rebel......"

Lao Ding'an's old lady is Lian Jingqian's grandfather. When he was young, he was invincible on the battlefield, and everywhere he went, he ended in the defeat and surrender of the enemy, and he was the real god of war.

At that time, the emperor, that is, the first emperor, gave him the hereditary title of Duke of the Kingdom with the iron certificate of Danshu, and the Ding'an Mansion became a transcendent existence for a while. However, the Duke of Ding'an retired after the age of thirty-six, no longer interfering with court affairs, and did not worry about spoiling and spoiling on weekdays, let alone taking credit for himself, so the emperor attached more importance to him.

Who knew that when Ding'an Gong was forty years old, there was a vigorous Jingning coup d'état in the capital, and the protagonist of this coup was the old lady of Ding'an Gonglian.

Without any signs or signs, after a banquet held in the palace of the Marquis of Changxin, the former emperor suddenly found a large list of evidence of Ding'angong's attempt to rebel, and sent him to prison, and it was not long before he sentenced him to be beheaded, and this generation of heroes was beheaded under the guillotine.

What is even more strange is that when the officers and soldiers went to seal the Ding'an Mansion, it turned out that the building was empty, and all the masters in the mansion were gone. Later, the prince and his wife were caught on the way to escape, and before they could be escorted back to Beijing, they contracted the plague and died on the way back to Beijing. As for the Duchess of Ding'an and the prince of Ding'an, as well as the second son of the Duke of Ding'an, the people in the house all fled and no one saw them again.

But that's not the end of the story. Yu Guifei took advantage of this coup d'état to wantonly exclude dissidents, and charged many military generals who worshiped under the Duke of Ding'an in the past and the civil officials who always liked to impeach her as accomplices of the Duke of Ding'an.

This implication is very wide-ranging, the destructive coup d'état almost all the capable military generals and civil officials are eliminated, the first emperor also completely lost the hearts of the people, rebel bandits and people began to appear in various places, the officers and soldiers suppressed incompetently, seeing that the Nanming Dynasty is about to collapse and completely collapse, at this time, Li Yue, the perennial king of the frontier, suddenly returned to King Qin in Beijing without an edict.

Concubine Yu was shocked and wanted to use her own private soldiers to completely remove this thorn in her eye. But how can a soldier who spends all day drinking in the capital, who only brags and sells and talks on paper, compare to a soldier who licks the blood on the tip of a knife every day in the wild land of the frontier?

The answer is self-evident, Concubine Yu was defeated, and King An entered the East Palace with absolute military power. The first emperor was reluctant to abdicate, but firstly, the army was invincible, and secondly, the famous Confucian Song Jingran re-emerged from the mountain, telling the people of the world that King An had fought bravely against the enemy in the frontier over the years, guarded the country, and treated the local people well.

When the emperor learned that the people of the world were eager for him to die immediately, and after King An ascended the throne, he was so angry that he vomited blood and went that night.

King An ascended the throne in April of the 19th year of Jingning, changed the Yuan Xuanzhi, and granted amnesty to the world in the same year, regardless of the charges of the rebels after the coup d'état in Jingning, and the political situation became more and more stable.

Over the years, many cases of innocent victims of the Jingning coup have been overturned one after another, but everyone understands that most of those who have been able to settle their grievances are just some unpopular officials, and what really affects the situation is the innocence of many military generals led by Lao Ding'an Gong who have been accused of rebellion. However, today, there seems to be no intention to investigate, and it has been put on hold, and no one dares to mention it again.

She asked about this matter today, and she also wanted to take advantage of her mother's reaction to see her current attitude, although Lian Jingqian did turn over the case for her grandfather as she wished in her previous life, but due to her rebirth, there have been many variables, and she can't be sure that there will be no accidents in this matter. Help others to the end, since she has been involved in this matter, she has never thought of getting out uselessly.

Min Yuan was silent for a long time, and muttered: "In my mother's heart, even the old lady doesn't seem to be a person who would do such a thing. In the past, she was so affectionate with Mrs. Su, and after establishing her career, she devoted herself to teaching her children and grandchildren at home, and there was really no need to fight for that position......"

"What about the emperor's uncle, does he also think that even the old lady is wronged?" she blurted out with a heartbeat.

Min Yuan glanced at her expectant eyes, but shook her head helplessly: "Mother is only sure that the emperor has five points to believe, and the remaining five points are unknown." ”

Yi Ying's heart sank, is this the way of the emperor? You can't trust everything.

She said unrelentingly: "Mother, if, I mean, if even the old lady's descendants go to the emperor with evidence that can prove his innocence, will the emperor restore the title for him?"

Min Yuan thought for a while and asked, "You mean the second master and young master Sun of the Lian family?"

Yiying nodded, but saw Min Yuan shake his head again, and said, "I don't know either." This matter is a major event that involves the whole body, and the number of military generals involved at that time is staggering, and now the emperor does not attach much importance to military generals, and most of the rehabilitated are some civil servants who are still useful. Moreover, if even the old lady's descendants are not properly handled, it may lead to another disaster. ”

Yi Ying frowned, but Min Yuan didn't say any more, and agreed to say a few words to Ying on a different topic, and Yi Ying took Banyue and Xiao's mother to retire under the pretext that she was tired.

On the way back, she kept thinking about her mother's words in her head.

What is the use of the emperor rehabilitating those inconspicuous civil servants, is it for the sake of a virtuous reputation?

That is the case, why not use some excuses to rehabilitate the persecuted generals back then, there are so many families involved, if all of them are rehabilitated, and it is a feat that can leave a name in history, why not?

Is it because she wants to save some face for the former emperor? She shook her head, how could it be? She didn't see that she had half a bit of father-son friendship with the former emperor today, forced the palace to ascend the throne, and since the accession to the throne, she has been constantly overthrowing the system of the former emperor, and killing the family of Yu Guifei, who was favored by the former emperor, which one is saving face for the former emperor?

Is it because he is afraid of military generals? But this is also too extreme, and there are almost no military generals available in the DPRK and China today, and if those people are rehabilitated, won't they be able to get a group of powerful forces?

She had a flash of inspiration and suddenly thought of the reason.
