On February 17, Emperor Zhou, who had been away from Beijing for two months, finally returned to the capital.

His Majesty the Emperor is not only safe and sound, but also exterminated the rebel party, the Great Zhou Dynasty has been in the country for thousands of years, it is really gratifying, the faces of the people in the capital are all exuding sincere joy, and a month and a half ago the shadow that stirred up the chaos in the capital, it has all been dispelled, they believe that as long as His Majesty the Emperor is there, the world will not be chaotic, and the capital will not be chaotic!

On the second day after the hundred officials returned to Beijing, Prime Minister Bai Cheng began to investigate the rebellion of the Bai family that year, Jiang Xiaoyu had already received a letter sent back by Zhao Ling, and handed over the evidence he had prepared to Prime Minister Bai, including the fourth aunt and the cross bear.

She believes that the moment to welcome the light is coming, although she is puzzled that Emperor Zhou can really allow a thorough investigation of the things of the year, but this seems to be another opportunity, in the face of this opportunity, the secret hidden behind it seems that it is too late to be peeled off, if you let go of this opportunity, the future may be more difficult, and you will find another opportunity.

And this time, Bai Siyuan also followed everyone back to the capital, different from the last time he was secretive, this time, he came back openly, as Jiang Xiaoyu's uncle, of course, Zhao Ling was temporarily taken back to the Chu Mansion to take care of.

When Bai Siyuan came to the Chu Wangfu again, his spirit became weaker and weaker, just relying on a breath to support, he originally expected himself to have a maximum of three more months, but he held on for another two months with his strong will, even Liu Ruli sighed that his willpower was so strong, beyond the point that his medical skills could judge, but day after day, even he didn't know how long he could last, whether he could get the day when the truth was revealed.

"Uncle!" Jiang Xiaoyu squatted in front of Bai Siyuan, looking at his uncle who was getting haggard day by day, and felt distressed, "It's hard!" Master is already on the way here, let Master treat you in a while, uncle, you will definitely recover, I heard Master say a few days ago that he got an ancient book, on which he may be able to find a way to heal his uncle's body! ”

"Hmm!" Bai Siyuan had a peaceful smile on his face, "Xiaoyu, you did a good job!" You didn't disappoint your uncle! ”

Jiang Xiaoyu lowered his eyes: "It's good that I didn't make trouble for you!" ”

Concubine Liu had already prepared the wine and food, and the father and son of the King of Chu, who had returned safely, took the wind and washed the dust, and the family sat together and ate the first reunion dinner of the year.

After settling down Bai Siyuan, Jiang Xiaoyu and Zhao Ling returned to Tingzhuyuan hand in hand, Xiao Biesheng was newly married, and the two who had not seen each other for two months naturally had a tender and sweet heart to confide.

"You've lost a lot of weight!" Jiang Xiaoyu touched Zhao Ling's cheek distressedly, "Hearing the news that you have been out of food on the mountain for so long, I'm worried to death!" ”

Zhao Ling hugged Jiang Xiaoyu and sat on his lap and hugged her into his arms: "Why am I? In the capital, I am also worried about your safety, but fortunately, everything passed safely! I'm still good with you, but fortunately, I can hug you again now! ”

"Yes, only after separation do you know how wonderful such a day is, how cherished!" Jiang Xiaoyu rubbed against Zhao Ling's chest and said.

"When I was hungry and dizzy in Mount Tai, although I was persuading King Jin to believe in His Majesty, I also faintly felt that I might die there, in addition to feeling sorry for my father, I thought about you the most, those things that had promised you, could not accompany you to complete them one by one, and let you stay alone in the world!"

"Even if there are many critical battle reports ahead, the second princess and I both believe that you will be able to come back safely, and we believe that you are not ordinary men!" Jiang Xiaoyu smiled, "I never thought that you would really leave me!" ”

The two snuggled silently, and after a while, Jiang Xiaoyu asked: "I thought that Your Majesty would definitely prevent you from overturning the case for the first prince and the Bai family, but I didn't expect Your Majesty to agree so easily, will there be any traps in it?" ”

"Judging from the situation at that time, most of the officials were still afraid of His Majesty's authority, and only the three of us were the ones who helped my uncle speak!" Zhao Ling said, "If Your Majesty has to suppress this matter, it is not impossible!" He will do this, I analyze, firstly, to prevent us from using more radical means, at this time the people will surrender, and if we make things bigger, his face will not look good! Instead of looking forced by us, it is better to take the initiative to loosen up, and you can also gain a good name, and secondly, maybe Your Majesty doesn't particularly care about the name behind him, maybe he thinks that in terms of his merits, this small black spot will not damage his prestige at all! It's just that this matter has too much impact on the second child, His Majesty doesn't like someone to challenge his authority, not to mention that this person is still his son, he is suspicious by nature, this time he is only afraid that the Chu Wangfu and the Jin Wangfu will be suspicious of him! ”

"It's us who hurt you!" Jiang Xiaoyu lowered his eyes and said.

"Don't say that, we can't shirk this matter!" Zhao Ling said, "On the way back, I have already discussed with my father, even though he may be suspicious of the Chu Palace, but as long as we no longer interfere in military and political affairs after this matter, and only be an idle nobleman, Your Majesty will not be able to kill them all!" ”

"You are an ambitious person, if you can really only do nothing in the second half of your life, I will always feel guilty in my heart!"

"Who said that there is nothing to do, being able to stay with you and grinding your ears and temples is the biggest thing!" Zhao Ling smiled and shouted, Jiang Xiaoyu picked it up and walked towards the bed.

After Jiang Xiaoyu handed over the evidence, Prime Minister Bai Cheng began to investigate the truth of the matter back then, he was an upright person, and he was degraded out of Beijing because he spoke for the first prince, his character and ability, Jiang Xiaoyu was very relieved.

A clear vein is gradually connected.

The fourth aunt's handwriting was taught by Jiang Xiaoyu's mother herself, so she also imitated her handwriting vividly. The eldest princess found the fourth aunt and asked her to imitate her young lady's handwriting and write a letter to the former queen, which was originally commonplace, in which she asked the former queen for a medicinal herb, and this medicinal herb was a tribute, which could not be enjoyed by His Majesty and the Queen Mother. The eldest princess handed over the letter to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother investigated the matter and found this medicinal material in the East Palace. Later, the surviving Donggong palace people confirmed that the prince had found the person who secretly put the medicinal materials into the Donggong, and the prince asked to see His Majesty, but there was no response.

Later, His Majesty was furious, thoroughly investigated the East Palace, and found letters with the Bai family in the East Palace, several letters that were originally to discuss the strategy of using troops at the border pass, but were misinterpreted as conspiring with the Bai family to rebel, and the prince was placed under house arrest in the East Palace.

Subsequently, General Bailao's henchman was fed a Gu worm by the bear, and this Gu worm was also confirmed in Qin Hui's testimony, this general, who traveled thousands of miles to Beijing, said that the Bai family was plotting rebellion. At this time, the eldest grandson forged His Majesty's edict, the capital was in trouble, and the king of Qin entered the capital, and the old general Bai fell to the capital, which happened to confirm the rebellion of the Bai family. After Qi Siyuan threw troops to encircle and suppress the Bai family, the Bai family's army was annihilated, and the prince was given poisoned wine.

In the self-pleadings of the eldest grandson, the events of the year are written in great detail, and there is corresponding evidence at each node, so the truth of the year was opened one by one and presented in front of everyone in blood.

At the beginning of March, Prime Minister Bai Cheng played everything he found out to His Majesty, and His Majesty admitted the fact that the Bai family and the former prince were wrongfully framed, and restored their reputation, and the spiritual seat of the first prince and the former queen was enshrined in the imperial temple, and the Bai family also had to be personally written by Emperor Zhou to commend his loyalty.

This result amazed the hundred officials, and it set off a lot of public opinion among the people, but in addition to condemning the shamelessness of the eldest grandson Hu and lamenting the experience of the Bai family and the former prince, it was more to praise how holy His Majesty is today, who can overturn the unjust, false and wrongful cases in the next thousand years, and prove their innocence for them, no one will know what role Emperor Zhou played behind that incident.

On the third day of the first month of March, Bai Siyuan was on the outskirts of the capital, facing the north, and worshiped the Bai family army from afar.

He burned His Majesty's writings, so that the brothers underground knew that the Bai family army had never been a rebel, and the name of the Bai family army could exist openly in the world, and the Bai family army's exploits would be passed down through the ages.

The weather in March has warmed up, but Bai Siyuan is still wrapped in a thick cloak, he silently looks at the north, and his mind remembers over and over again the days when he fought on the battlefield with his brothers......

"Uncle, it's not too early, it's time to go back!" Jiang Xiaoyu looked at the twilight around him and reminded him in a low voice.

"Xiaoyu, I've been wondering, is my uncle too selfish, my uncle is a person who won't live long, although now he has fulfilled his wish and avenge the grievances of the Bai family army and the first prince, but now he has pushed out a group of you young people, Your Majesty's mind is unfathomable, although this time he can readily agree to thoroughly investigate the affairs of the year, but no one knows what he thinks in his heart, so the anger he exudes in the future can only be borne by your group of young people!"

"I also have the blood of the Bai family in my body, and I am also my long-standing wish, I am not afraid of anything!" Jiang Xiaoyu said sonorously, "We are no longer children, and we naturally anticipate the consequences when we do something, but we are still fearless, make the truth public, and seek justice for those who died in vain, which is more important than living secretly!" ”
