Hearing Gu Mingyuan's words, Zhang Chenglin just nodded, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You don't have to have too much pressure, this matter will not work, and it will not matter." ”

After being busy all his life, at first he really wanted to find justice, but later, it became an obsession. It wasn't until now that he really realized that justice didn't matter anymore.

Because justice is in the hearts of men.

He has a clear conscience, so no matter what the result is, he has already let it go.

It's just that...... The souls of those on the frontier need to be comforted, so if the truth can really be revealed, it can also comfort their souls in the sky.

Gu Mingyuan naturally understood what he meant, so he only nodded and said, "Master, don't worry, I have my own sense of proportion in my heart." ”

Not long after, Qin Huaiyu came in from outside, and the two stopped the topic and moved on to something else.

Since learning that Qin Huaiyu was pregnant, Gu Mingyuan's daily life has been much more careful, for fear that she will bump into it.

Seeing her enter the door with a meal, her first reaction was to go over and help her.

This is still in front of the master, Qin Huaiyu is a little embarrassed, because he gently pushed him, and said with a smile: "Where is it so squeamish, there is no need to be like this." ”

Let Zhang Chenglin look at it, Qin Huaiyu felt a little ashamed.

Gu Mingyuan didn't care about this, and while helping her sit down, he put the food away, and then said, "Master doesn't mind this." ”

Zhang Chenglin didn't eat breakfast, so he took a bowl to eat at this time, and gave Gu Mingyuan a roll of his eyes by the way, and snorted: "Go and go, don't be an eyesore here for the old man, who will show it?"

In front of a 10,000-year-old bachelor like him, is it really suitable?

Be a person!

Seeing Zhang Chenglin's disgusted appearance, Gu Mingyuan just smiled and did not speak, but Qin Huaiyu was a little embarrassed, so he pursed his lips and smiled, so he went to change the topic first.

......

Since Zhang Ziyao's old case was mentioned on that day, it has caused a huge storm in the court.

Even with the permission of the emperor, because it is Gu Mingyuan who is currently in power, there are many rumors, the most of which is that Gu Mingyuan coerced the Son of Heaven to satisfy his selfish desires, which was to seek his own personal interests in the name of overturning the old case.

As soon as these remarks came out, the court was instantly divided into several factions of hype.

Although Gu Mingyuan is already a legitimate crown prince, in the final analysis, he has not seriously cultivated his own power, and there are more royalists in the current court.

In addition, the events of the year, it is true that some people took the opportunity to seek personal gain, although it is not a foreign country, but if it is found out at this time, it will inevitably be unfavorable to them, so these parties can be described as inextricably troublesome.

And such a scene, Gu Mingyuan had thought of it a long time ago, so when they were arguing, he didn't say a word for it again, as if it was not himself who was the one who tried to raise the matter at the beginning.

It was only three days later that the testimony of Concubine Jing and the evidence that had been picked up were all presented to the emperor's dragon case and the ministers.

The completeness of the evidence, the breadth of the implications, and the horror behind the scenes made the ministers speechless.

The emperor only said one sentence: "If this is not punished severely, I don't know if this world is Lingnan or mine!"

At this time, who will dare to say anything?

Isn't that a blatant slam into the muzzle of a gun?

And the follow-up things are really as Gu Mingyuan said, but after seven days of hard work, everything is settled.

In the end, the emperor issued an edict to the world, returned Zhang Ziyao's innocence, and awarded him the honor of "Duke An Guo". As for the soldiers and their families who were implicated that year, they were all given posthumous honors.

Concubine Jing was executed by Ling Chi, and the emperor was unwilling to wait even a day, so the executioner sent her to Huangquan Road that day.

So far, an incident that has been hanging for thirteen years has come to an end.

......

Zhang Ziyao's "death" is irrefutable, and Zhang Chenglin has no intention of returning to that identity, and he doesn't care about the meritorious service that was conferred.

When Gu Mingyuan told him the result, he didn't say anything, just looked at the holy decree with a distant look.

Seeing Zhang Chenglin's appearance, Gu Mingyuan didn't know what to say for a while, and after thinking for a while, he said softly: "Father said that I want you to enter the palace - if the master is unwilling, I will refuse you." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Chenglin smiled, sighed, and said, "No need, I also have something to say to him." ”

Seeing that Zhang Chenglin insisted on going, Gu Mingyuan nodded for a while and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll send you over." ”

This time, Zhang Chenglin did not refuse.

On a February day, there was a rare warm wind.

When Zhang Chenglin stepped into the Qianqing Palace, he felt the coldness in the palace.

In this huge hall, it seems that there will always be such a lack of smell, and the only thing that smells in the air is cold rights and desires.

He exhaled a breath of turbidity, and then walked in with his feet raised, and saluted with his robe: "Grass people, long live my emperor." ”

Hearing Zhang Chenglin's voice, the emperor raised his head from the dragon case and glanced at him, his eyes were a little dark.

Seeing that Zhang Chenglin was just standing with an indifferent face, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed, so he simply raised his hand and said, "Okay, sit down." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Chenglin thanked him and sat down at the bottom.

The emperor put down the wolf pen in his hand, saw that the inner chamberlain had the tea, waved them out, and said, "You know everything, right?"

"Yes. ”

Zhang Chenglin knew what he was talking about, and he didn't play dumb riddles, but his expression seemed to be telling someone else's affairs: "The grass people thank the emperor for upholding justice." ”

Seeing him like this, the emperor couldn't help but feel a little frustrated, and he didn't know what he thought, so he snorted and said, "I don't deserve your thanks, after all, I was also forced—if you hadn't encircled Gu Mingyuan, how could you be in such a situation today?"

When he said this, the emperor was still a little angry, after all, the matter back then was already an iron case, if it wasn't for Gu Mingyuan's efforts, where would there be today's reversal of the case?

Regarding the sour taste in his words, Zhang Chenglin naturally understood it, and he didn't say much, but said: "It's just a heart-to-heart." ”

Hearing his words, the emperor obviously had a more unfavorable expression, snorted coldly, and said, "Heart-to-heart? Hmph, you are speaking in a high-sounding manner." ”

His son, why did it take the turn of others to exchange hearts for hearts?

Seeing the emperor's appearance, Zhang Chenglin just put the teacup aside and lowered his hands without saying a word.

Between him and the emperor, there was nothing to say.
