Ten thousand adults! The little one came to protect you and your family on the orders of His Majesty, and from now on we will be your family's soldiers. ”

"Soldiers?" Fu Xiaojiu almost dropped his jaw.

"Aren't government soldiers only owned by people of the princely rank? My husband is just a fourth-grade official, why do I have a government soldier? ”

Fu Xiaojiu was wondering, Wan Lin had already walked out.

"Your Majesty told me yesterday that he would send soldiers to our family to protect our family."

Wan Lin came to the door as he spoke, and opened the door.

Fu Xiaojiu understood that the emperor was also worried about Wan Lin's safety.

He was afraid that Wan Lin would be retaliated against for offending King Jie because of this case.

Seeing the emperor's intentions for Wan Lin, Fu Xiaojiu's heart felt a little better.

But when he thought of the tears that slipped from the corners of Wan Lin's eyes last night, Fu Xiaojiu felt sorry for Wan Lin again.

"Xianggong, since the case is about to be closed, then I don't have to go to Dali Temple today, right?"

Fu Xiaojiu asked deliberately.

Wan Lin still remembered what he said to Fu Xiaojiu last night, and said directly: "Well, the lady doesn't have to bother to go to Dali Temple today." Aren't our two stores about to open? Concentrate on your work. ”

Fu Xiaojiu smiled, "I know, I'll go and tell Shen'er to get up, and these government soldiers will be arranged by you." ”

Fu Xiaojiu turned his head and said in his heart: "I have to work harder, if Shen'er really doesn't want to take the imperial examination in the future, let him inherit the family business, but he won't be an official and be angry!" ”

Wan Lin's heart was still a little depressed, but when he saw the soldiers given to him by the emperor, the depression in his heart eased a little.

This is the helplessness of being in the officialdom, and it seems that there is still a chance of winning if you go alone to fight with a group of people.

But if a person fights with a king who rules everything, he will not only fight himself to the death, but then he will swallow his anger.

Wan Lin knew that this case would no longer have anything to do with King Jie, and he could only hope that the emperor would punish King Jie for other reasons in the future.

When Huo Jing came out of the palace yesterday, he had already asked someone to inform Emperor Xing Zhida of his intentions.

Xing Zhida knew that the case was about to be closed, but he was refreshed and relaxed.

He had enough of this trip to the troubled waters, and he was ready to apologize to King Jie in person after the case was closed.

Wan Lin and Huo Jing's mood was not high, and they smoothed out the case file with Xing Zhida again, and then passed Han Yan and Guo Yi to court.

Because Han Yan was just an insider and did not participate in the case, she was not sentenced to a heavy sentence, and only sentenced her to three years in prison.

But Guo Yi has committed several crimes, especially daring to want to murder the queen, which is equivalent to complicity.

But everyone considered that he was the nephew of Concubine Xian and the cousin of King Jie, so they wanted the emperor to make the final decision.

After Guo Yi learned that he had really become a "backstabber", his heart was suddenly like ashes, and he didn't even shout that he was wronged.

Wan Lin and the three of them imprisoned Guo Yi again, and immediately entered the palace to report to the emperor.

The emperor was satisfied with the outcome of the three of them's handling of the case, and he also took into account Guo Yi's identity as appropriate, if Guo Yi was according to the law, he should be beheaded all over the house.

But in this case, the Guo family is afraid that there will be no more living except for Xian Guifei and King Jie.

After all, the Guo family is a meritorious family guarding Dachen's country, and it would be too embarrassing if it was abolished because of such an unsuccessful son.

The emperor thought for a moment and said: "Guo Yi is young and arrogant, whimsical, and his thoughts alone cannot represent the entire Guo family. If he is to be punished, it is enough to punish him alone. ”

After the emperor finished speaking, Xing Zhida was the first to agree: "Your Majesty is wise! You are so fair, the Guo family will definitely thank you for your great kindness! ”

Wan Lin and Huo Jing also praised the emperor's decision against their will.

The emperor nodded, and was about to continue talking, when someone came to report that Concubine Xian and Guo Junxiong had come together.

Guo Junxiong is the great-grandson of the founding general Guo Lao, who is respected by the emperor.

In addition to Zhenting Hou Huo Aobang, Dachen is Guo Junxiong's most famous.

Guo Junxiong was stationed at the border in his early years, and he also made great contributions, and later returned to the capital because his mother was seriously ill.

He is stationed in the capital, and even if the enemy army arrives at the root of the city, he has to weigh it carefully.

Guo Junxiong has not been involved in court politics much this year, but it does not mean that the emperor has forgotten his prestige, so he has always respected him.

The emperor knew that he must have come for Guo Yi's affairs, and he was not surprised that he was well-informed about the news, so he immediately let him and Xian Guifei in.

Wan Lin and the others retreated to the side with interest, waiting to see Concubine Xian and Guo Junxiong intercede for Guo Yi.

As expected, the two brothers and sisters pleaded for Guo Yi with one mouth.

Concubine Xian cried without waiting for a few words, and Guo Junxiong begged the emperor for the first time.

The emperor briefly told the two of them what Guo Yi had committed, and after they heard it, they naturally knew how wrong Guo Yi was.

Guo Junxiong pleaded with the emperor with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, this nephew of the minister has always been a hard-working and kind-hearted child. The reason why he did such a foolish thing must have been confused by phlegm, and he was confused for a while! Please also ask Your Majesty to open the net and spare his life! ”

The emperor has never seen Guo Junxiong so low his posture to beg for help, and seeing him like this, the emperor is also a little unbearable.

But when he thought that someone was coveting the throne in a rebellious way, the emperor felt that not wanting Guo Yi's life would not be enough to play a deterrent role, and the Manchu civil and military would not agree to it if they learned about it.

Thinking like this, the emperor became murderous to Guo Yi again.

"Guo Aiqing, as Dachen's general, you should be familiar with Dachen's laws. Guo Yi intended to murder the court officials and the wife, and he also intended to murder the queen, and these major crimes should have been copied and beheaded according to the law. But I care about his young age, and there is no one in your Guo family who is involved in this matter, and I only sentenced him to behead alone, isn't it enough for me to do it? ”

The emperor's tone was both compromised and angry, and Concubine Xian and Guo Junxiong listened to it and were silent for the time being.

The emperor saw that they also knew that they were in the wrong, so he said: "Even if I can spare Guo Yi from dying in this matter, can the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and the people of the world agree?" Isn't she wronged, queen? Is it fair to Wanlin couples? ”

The emperor's questioning made Concubine Xian and Guo Junxiong speechless.

It happened that Wan Lin was also here, Guo Junxiong glanced at him, and he was embarrassed to plead with the emperor again.

Because what the emperor said is right, it is already a great mercy for him to punish Guo Yi alone, otherwise if the emperor uses this as a reason to copy the Guo family, no one can say anything, and he can also use this to weaken the power of his relatives.

Guo Junxiong secretly pulled down the sleeve of Concubine Xian, and then said to the emperor: "Your Majesty is a rare benevolent monarch!" His Majesty is already very tolerant of the Guo family, and the minister represents the Guo family's Xie Longen! ”

Seeing that Guo Junxiong was still knowledgeable, the emperor looked at Concubine Xian and said, "Does Concubine Xian think my decision is fair?" ”

Concubine Xian didn't forget that the palace maid beside her was still involved in this matter, and she didn't dare to ask for anything more, so she hurriedly said: "Your Majesty Shengming! The concubines thanked His Majesty Long En on behalf of the Guo family! ”

Seeing that Concubine Xian also knew that he had retreated, the emperor said with satisfaction: "Actually, I feel guilty for all of you, because you are all my people, and I am sad that any of you are hurt, and I can't guarantee that everyone will get the fairest treatment." ”

Guo Junxiong continued: "Your Majesty understands the benevolence of your subjects, and the ministers are already very grateful, and it should be the ministers who should feel guilty!" ”

The emperor sighed solemnly, "Alas, that's it, the two of you go to Guo Yi's house to have a look, appease and appease his family, and help me bring a word, I will not pursue them." ”

Xian Guifei and Guo Junxiong kowtowed again before leaving.

As soon as they left, the emperor looked at Wan Lin and said, "Wan Lin, do you think it is fair for me to deal with it like this?" ”

Wan Lin hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty Shengming, the minister thinks that Your Majesty has handled this matter thoroughly and fairly. ”

The emperor said helplessly: "I know that I actually let you ......"

The emperor didn't say the word "disappointed" in the end.

Wan Lin and the others also returned to Dali Temple after understanding the holy will.

Guo Yi was sentenced to be executed.

The sooner he is executed, the sooner it will pass.

Only now did Wanlin and Dali Temple realize that the assassination of Fu Xiaojiu by Father-in-law Ji had been counted as a case, and it could be handled by the palace.

After Fu Xiaojiu learned of Guo Yi's verdict, not only did he not feel happy, but he also had a trace of sympathy for Guo Yi.

Sympathy for him became a victim of the struggle for power.

And what Fu Xiaojiu thought before has not been realized, the case is closed, but the queen has not yet returned her innocence.

As soon as Fu Xiaojiu thought of the queen, he wanted to go to the palace to find the emperor again, and asked the emperor to investigate the matter carefully again, so as not to wronged the queen.

However, there are too many patients today, and the hot pot shop and skewer shop are about to open, and Fu Xiaojiu really didn't take the time to enter the palace.

In desperation, Guo's family accepted Guo Yi's execution by beheading.

King Jie also arrived and followed everyone to collect Guo Yi's body.

King Jie looked at Guo Yi's corpse and said "I'm sorry" to him in his heart.

Concubine Xian found an opportunity to pull him aside and reprimanded him in a low voice: "Do you know that your father deliberately let you go?" Otherwise, you would be the one who moved the head today! ”

Concubine Xian said that her eyes were red again, after all, Guo Yi was her own nephew, and she was also distressed.

Although King Jie also knew that he was sorry for Guo Yi, in his heart, sacrificing a human life was nothing compared to power.

"Mother, this matter was originally planned by the son-in-law, but who knew that there would be an accident, which made my cousin innocently killed! If you want to blame Wan Lin and Fu Xiaojiu, and that Huo Jing! If they hadn't pressed forward step by step, how could my cousin have ended up like this? ”

Seeing King Jie's indignant face, Concubine Xian was so angry that she almost slapped him.

"Who made you anxious to act now? Can't you wait any longer? Don't you feel sorry for your cousin? Can you really bear to use him as a shield? ”

After listening to her reprimand, King Jie not only did not show a sad look, but a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Isn't the mother in a hurry? If you are not in a hurry, how can you do something to Yun Guifei and Fu Xiaojiu, and then frame the queen? ”
