Liu Xu had already prepared the witnesses and exhibits earlier, so the retrial led by King Jin went very smoothly, but in three days, the main messenger behind the scenes had surfaced, and the initiator of all this was the one who had been punished.

First of all, he took advantage of the serious disaster that year and needed all troops to raise their own food, and spread rumors about the prince and his plot through the mouths of those who did not know the truth, and then bought the guards of the prince's mansion to assassinate him, creating the illusion of killing people. Then it was to buy the Guanzhong army to spread the rumor that the prince had embezzled military rations, causing the Guanzhong army to mutiny, and several letters were forged in the middle, counting the Guanzhong army's mutiny on the prince's head.

At this time, although His Majesty was already suspicious of the crown prince, there were still many ministers in the court who tried to protect it, and His Majesty still had no murderous intentions towards the prince. Then the Tongnan army defeated the enemy, and the Qianhou ordered someone to falsely spread the news, the prince has been killed, causing the Tongnan army to mutiny, with the Tongnan army being executed, the prince was conspired to rebel and was confirmed, drank poisoned wine and died, and the queen hanged herself two days later.

And this time, it was found out that in addition to the dead Qianhou, there were two princes and a prince of the clan, and the people of the harem were involved.

This person is Yun Guiren, it was she who cooperated with Qianhou back then, while telling Qianhou about His Majesty's attitude and letting Qianhou continue to do the game, while sowing discord in front of His Majesty, and the death of the queen, she also had her handiwork.

As for the intention to kill witnesses and kill people, the evidence is even more conclusive.

This result was told to the world, so that the hearts of the people of the world can be clear.

At the same time, the corpses were whipped, and the people involved in the case were all executed in Ling Chi, and all the houses were beheaded.

The queen mother was grateful for the queen's virtue, and died at her hands, and in her anger, she ordered someone to go to the cold palace every day to whip her twenty whips.

As for King Qin, ten years ago he was just a child, but he was not involved, but he was still under house arrest in the palace, but everyone understood in their hearts that today's King Qin still has no chance at all.

Subsequently, Emperor Xuan issued an edict to punish himself, whipping the dragon robe, and comforted the innocent people who died that year.

It's already October, and it's cold in the morning and evening.

Mo Ziyu dressed Liu Xu in a python robe, he was dressed very solemnly today, after so many years, he could finally go to worship the first prince justifiably.

"I feel like I'm dreaming of something I've been trying to do for so many years and I'm doing it. Liu Xu looked at himself in the bronze mirror, "But this matter is up to this time, and this should be just the beginning." Even though my father was forced to compromise, avenged his brother, and issued an edict for his own crimes, he would not forgive me so easily. But I did what I had to do, and no matter what the charges were, I was not ashamed. ”

He held Mo Ziyu's hand, smiled slightly, and said, "Next, you are only afraid that you will be ready to suffer with me." ”

I don't know when he began to call himself from "this king" to "me".

The corners of Mo Ziyu's mouth hooked, and Wan Er said: "Seek benevolence and be benevolent, since you support the prince to do what you think is right, then you will also be ready to bear the consequences, no matter whether it is a blessing or a curse in the future, the concubine will accompany the prince!"

Liu Xu hugged Mo Ziyu in his arms and whispered in her ear: "It's cold, wear more clothes and wait for me to come back." ”

The prince's spiritual seat was moved back to the ancestral hall of the Liu family, and his coffin had to be buried in the Huangling Tomb.

Today, I worship the former prince, as well as the wronged Tongnan army, and the people who were killed for interceding for the first prince.

Emperor Xuan has been bedridden since he issued the edict, so he handed over all the matters to King Qi to preside over today, and all the children of the clan participated, and all the courtiers attended.

The worship ceremony was solemn, King Qi read the exploits of the former prince and the names of those who died, and everyone wiped their tears and sighed.

Many people who know the political ideals and political methods of the former prince can't help but think, if it hadn't happened eleven years ago, what would the current imperial court look like if it was going north?

After the ceremony, the crowd dispersed.

Liu Xu and Liu Yu said as they walked: "Your injuries have not healed, so you don't have to come today." ”

"I don't have much time to see the eldest brother, but in my impression, the eldest brother always smiles kindly at me, and the people around him always praise him. Liu Yu said, "If I am born early, I am afraid that I will be able to appreciate the charm of the eldest brother even more!"

"You've suffered. Liu Xu patted the seventh brother on the shoulder, "If it weren't for you this time, if it weren't for your poisoning, which caused the crowd to boil, which made the queen mother feel distressed, I am afraid that my father would not compromise so much." Your body is damaged, and it will take a long time for you to recover. ”

"It doesn't matter, I'm just suffering, but now I can wash away the grievances of the past, and let his loyal souls get the respect they deserve, and all my suffering is worth it. ”

"Seventh brother, thank you, you are willing to believe in me and help me. Liu Xu smiled, "There is a fire in your heart, this fire is very bright and warm, if the Jiangshan Sheji of Northern Xia teaches you in the future, I am also relieved, and I am willing to assist you!"

Liu Yu was a little embarrassed and lowered his head: "Second brother, my father's heart has not yet been decided, so you must not say these words......"

"The father's mind is actually very clear. Liu Xu smiled slightly.

As he spoke, he saw a eunuch come over, and after greeting him, he said, "His Royal Highness King Qi, Your Majesty is invited." ”

Liu Xu nodded lightly and said to Liu Yu: "I'm going to see my father, you can go back and recuperate." ”

"Good. ”

All the way to the Heart Cultivation Palace, Emperor Xuan sat behind the desk, looked at his son in front of him with a cold face, and said coldly: "Is everything over?"

Liu Xu knelt on the cold ground, his back was straight, his face was firm, and he clenched his fists and said, "It's over." ”

"Are you satisfied?" Emperor Xuan asked coldly with a slight squint.

"Erchen just wanted to seek justice for the imperial brother, that's all, and never thought of hurting anyone. Liu Xu said, "Now the old grievances have been redressed."

Zhang, the loyal soul was comforted, the main messenger behind the scenes was punished, the sons and ministers were satisfied, and the subjects of the world were also satisfied, but I don't know if the father and emperor were satisfied

？”

When the words fell, Emperor Xuan knocked over the teacup on the table to the ground: "Presumptuous! You have no king and no father in your eyes, and you dare to speak out here?

Treat me as your father!"

"What about the father, are we the sons of the father or the pawns of the father?" Liu Xu smiled sarcastically, "Father, have you ever had a clear conscience?"

"It's not your turn to question me. ”

Both of them fell silent and paused, and Emperor Xuan asked coldly, "You hate me." You hate me for losing your mother, you hate me for killing the prince! So whether you avenge your mother's concubine or overturn the case for the prince, after all, you have to regret it and make me feel guilty for what happened back then! Although I am the Son of Heaven, I am really an ordinary person, and I also have the weaknesses that people have, and who would have done nothing wrong in my life? As the Son of Heaven and the emperor of Northern Xia, I have been worthy of the society and the people since I ascended the throne for decades, and I can say that I have a clear conscience!"

"Yes, you may be a good emperor, but you are not a good husband and father, the people that the sons care about the most are all because of their fathers, how can the father not hate the sons?" Liu Xu smiled helplessly, "Father can admit that he also has weaknesses, and I think my father has also regretted what happened." It's not easy to be an emperor, being in the royal family, is destined to be born with the imperial power, love, family and friendship are just accessories of the imperial power, the father just made an emperor's choice, the son can understand, but he can't agree, because that's the person the son cares about the most. ”

Emperor Xuan stared at Liu Xu and sneered: "This is my good son!"

"Father, you should regret what happened before, right?" Liu Xu looked at his father, with a little tears in his eyes, "Actually, the reason why my father chose the seventh brother can be guessed by my sons, my father just saw himself, so I don't want my sons to experience the bloodshed you have experienced again, right?" My father is still old and has become soft-hearted. That's the same, Erchen dares to be so presumptuous!"

"That's enough!" Emperor Xuan shouted, "You stand down." ”

"Yes, the retainers retired. Liu Xu kowtowed, got up and retreated.

Emperor Xuan looked at his son's back, angry and sad.

He was glad that King Qi could understand the painstaking work he had arranged now, but he still couldn't forgive King Qi's behavior.

The sons I like the most, the women I love, are all in this way, this kind of ending exists. He was also reflecting on himself, was he really doing something wrong?

He then drove to the cold palace.

The Yun clan was dressed in light clothes, sitting on the steps of the cold palace, with spider webs on one side and a tattered palace behind him.

Her hair is gray, and she is no longer the peerless Concubine Yun, she is just an ordinary old woman now. There are still some blood stains on her body, compared to the blood stains left by the Queen Mother's whip today.

She saw the dragon boots parked in front of her, and looked up at the owner of the boots.

"Why is Your Majesty here?" Yun said coldly, "The concubine thought that you would never want to see the concubine again in your life. ”

Emperor Xuan looked at her coldly, looked at the woman he once loved, and said, "I have mistaken you." ”

Yun Shi straightened the messy broken hair on his sideburns, raised his eyes and smiled sarcastically: "The concubine has always been like this, is Your Majesty wrong? Your Majesty is a smart person, you can't be mistaken, it's just that you need a woman like the concubine." ”
