He didn't expect it to be easy, but he didn't expect it to be so complicated.

On the one hand, the prince wants to check, and on the other hand, His Majesty does not allow him to check.

If His Majesty insists on concealing the facts, you can imagine how much trouble he will suffer in the process of investigating the case, but he is only given a one-month deadline!

In other words, if this is really an unjust case, but if there is not enough evidence to find out the truth within a month, won't the grievances of the monarch never be cleared? !

Thinking of this, Pei Ji suddenly became angry,

"Your Majesty is too nonsense!" Pei Ji gritted his teeth and said, "How can he let a loyal martyr be wronged? ”

Hearing the word loyalty, Zhou Shiren's heart was slightly filled with pain, he was silent for a moment, collected his emotions in the blink of an eye, and said slowly: "Don't worry, Lord Pei, Your Majesty means that he will not interfere in this matter again, as for whether he can find out anything, it depends on the will of God." ”

Pei Ji: "......"

The churning emotions were suddenly poured on his head with a basin of cold water, and Pei Ji's sanity instantly returned.

It is possible that the monarch is wronged, but it is also possible that he is guilty.

It would be too irresponsible to make subjective assumptions about all this now.

Pei Ji took a deep breath and continued to inquire routinely, Zhou Shiren was extremely cooperative, and he replied whatever he asked.

About half an hour later, after making sure that there was nothing missing, Pei Ji made a deep bow to Zhou Shiren and promised: "Since I am the chief judge of this case, then I will try my best to find out the truth and give an explanation to the people of the world." ”

Zhou Shiren returned a salute: "There is Master Lao Pei." ”

After finishing speaking, he refused Zhou Shiren's send-off, and Pei Ji immediately rushed to the criminal department non-stop.

As soon as he left, the curvature of the corners of Zhou Shiren's mouth fell, and he sighed to the people beside him: "Look, I said, there is no difference between you and you. ”

Wen Qiyu rubbed her eyebrows, thinking deeply.

From beginning to end, Pei Ji never asked who he was, it seems that this Master Pei really just came to ask routinely, and anyone's position cannot affect the judgment in his heart.

……

On the second day of Pei Ji's return to Beijing, the imperial court officially promulgated the decree of Emperor Jin'an, ordering Pei Ji to be the main judge, Ye Quan, the secretary of the criminal department, Qin Zhong, the imperial historian, and Yi Zhan, the secretary of Dali Temple, supervised the trial, and the former emperor Nong Zhou assisted to re-investigate the case of Lincheng ten years ago due to the judgment of the commander of the monarch who destroyed the 100,000 army.

Pei Ji's movements were very fast, and with the help of the three divisions, he quickly found clues and continued to investigate.

The re-investigation of this case is an extremely shocking case for the Jun family who accompanied the Qi family to conquer the country, or for the Jun family that has existed since the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty.

When Emperor Jin Ankou reopened the case for re-investigation, under the guidance of grievances, the dissent that was suppressed by power ten years ago made a comeback, even worse than ten years ago.

An army of 100,000 has 100,000 grievances.

For a while, there were cries in Beijing, and even Huajie Liuxiang closed its doors and cut off its business, just to find out the facts as soon as possible.

As the case progressed, the insider's case was revealed, and all the facts that had been covered up were revealed one by one, including the fact that the grain and grass were only nine days late but were insisted on being a matter of January.

Even the high-ranking Emperor Jin An was dragged into the water, and the rumors circulating among the people were that Emperor Jin An framed Zhongliang in order to protect his younger brother.

For a time, under the excitement of the crowd, the prestige of the Qi royal family plummeted.

The Qi royal family also left the first and only extremely conspicuous stain because of this.

Rumors spread into the palace, the prestige of the royal family was in jeopardy under the crowd, and Qi Changrong did not sleep well for several nights.

On this day, Yuan Yi was ordered to come to the East Palace and passed a word from Emperor Jin An.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, Your Majesty asked the slave to ask you, do you regret that things have developed to this point?"

Yuan Yi is blue and black at the moment, as the folk rumors become more and more intense, Emperor Jin An's temper is becoming more and more irritable, and the people around him are also panicking, and everyone is in danger.

Even if Yuan Yi is very good at seeking good fortune and avoiding evil, it is difficult to be affected.

This sentence is what Emperor Jin An wants to ask, and it is also what Yuan Yi wants to ask.

But what Yuan Yi wants to ask more is, is it really worth it to offend the emperor of a country for the sake of the monarch? Yuan Yi knew that the heart of this Jin emperor was smaller than a needle, how much pressure he was under today, and he would ...... in the future The pressure on the prince will only increase.

Qi Changrong thought for a long time.

Since the beginning of winter, she has been seriously ill, and now she is dragging her sick body to sit in the center of the main hall, listening to the words of Yuan Yi.

But no matter how many times she thought about it, it was the same result for her.

Qi Changrong raised his head and looked at Yuan Yi quietly, his eyes were clear and bright, and his light brown pupils were a little charming.

It looks well-behaved and delicate, like a porcelain doll, just sitting there and doing nothing, it makes people feel loving.

Yuan Yi has watched her grow up since he was a child, and for this child who is several rounds younger than himself and has been responsible for it since he was a child, he has even been tolerating her as his own children and grandchildren in private.

Whatever she did.

But now, Yuan Yi only hopes that she can be soft in front of Emperor Jin An.

Now that Junmen overturned the case, it is an irrevocable matter, and no matter what Qi Changrong says, it will not affect the outcome of the investigation.

At this moment, as long as she says something that Emperor Jin An wants to hear, maybe she will be able to expose this matter, at least it will not make Emperor Jin An vent all his anger on her.

For a long time, Qi Changrong gently pulled open his pale lips, revealing what Yuan Yi didn't want to hear the most.

"Father-in-law, please help Gu tell his father, even if you do it all over again, Gu will make the same choice."

"Lonely, no regrets."

Although her voice is small, it still carries the unique immaturity of this age, but when it falls in Yuan Yi's ears, it is unusually firm.

Even now, as the culprit who single-handedly pushed the entire royal family to the cusp, she has never regretted her previous choice.

If one day darkness covers the earth, she is willing to sacrifice herself to radiate a faint light, to dispel sin and filth, and to brighten the heavens and the earth.

Such an answer in Yuan Yi's ears made him extremely uncomfortable, he knew that once he brought such an answer to Emperor Jin An, then the first thing after the Junmen overturned the case was settled, the prince lost power.

From now on, the emperor will no longer pave the way for the crown prince in front, and everything will depend on her alone.

Such a road is too lonely.

Yuan Yi hoarsely voiced and asked again: "Doesn't Your Highness think again?" ”

Qi Changrong shook his head, no need to think about it anymore.

She knew that she could actually find a more beautiful answer for Yuan Yi to bring to her father, but she didn't want to do that.

She also wanted to, once in a while, lip-to-heart.

In desperation, Yuan Yi brought Qi Changrong's answer to Emperor Jin An.

After listening to Qi Changrong's answer, Emperor Jin An, who had not rested for several days, was tense to the extreme, and sent a great fire in the imperial study, and then immediately ordered someone to summon Yang Yishu and Jiang Bowen into the palace, reducing half of the power in the East Palace, and then handing it over to the hands of the two powerful ministers.

In this way, the original three-legged stand has become a rivalry between the Yang family and the Jiang family.

On November 15, the results of the review of the Junmen case met the expectations of tens of thousands of people, and under the watchful eyes of the public, Pei Ji led the people of the three divisions to personally submit the results of the review to the palace to the Emperor Jin An for his attention.

This entry into the palace is not until the night is approaching, and when the sun rises at the beginning of the second day, everyone comes out.

What is shocking is that Pei Ji went out of the palace with three decrees issued by the royal court.

The first decree: to declare the rehabilitation of the people of the Jun family, to avoid the crime of burying the 100,000 army due to misjudgment, and to convey this matter to all places, in order to commemorate the grievances of the commander and the 100,000 army, the 15th day of November of each year is specially set up as the 'Hades Day', and the main sacrifices and sacrifices are exceeded in various places on schedule.

The second will: The person involved in the case was convicted of the crime of false accusation, and was sentenced to beheading, because the participant Pu Ting was dead, the investigation was suspended, his relatives and family members were degraded, and he was exiled thousands of miles away. And the burial of King Cheng moved out of the royal jade butterfly, and moved out of the imperial tomb on a certain day, and all the people related to King Cheng took his imperial surname and was degraded to the common people.

As for the third will, it was made by Emperor Jin'an's weeping blood - the edict of sin.

If the first two wills were expected by all, the last one surprised everyone.

The so-called emperor's sinful edict is enough to overturn all his past virtues, which is tantamount to a great humiliation for an emperor.

But at such a stall, when everyone was cheering for the monarch's family, a sincere edict was promulgated along with the first two wills.

It was so hasty to look at, and at the same time, it shocked at the same time, and once again pushed the royal family to the forefront.

However, this time, the voices of the people were much softer than the previous time, and they were no longer as angry as before.

On the day of the injustice, Junchen came out of the prison of the Criminal Department, and when he stood outside the thick gate of the Criminal Department, there were already countless people waiting outside who knew the truth.

Among them, many soldiers who retired from the battlefield due to wounds.

When they saw Junchen appear, they all opened their mouths and told Junchen the good news of Junchen's injustice.

At that moment, countless voices exploded in my ears, chaotic and noisy.

This level of noise is tantamount to torture for Junchen, who has always liked quiet.

However, at this moment, he felt that in this life, he had never heard a more pleasant voice than today.

Because these people are all speaking for the monarch.

From today on, Junmen no longer has to bear the charge of the commander of burying 100,000 troops for one person's fault.

The ancestors of their ancestral hall of the Jun family can finally be worshiped by the world in an open and honest manner, and there is nothing more gratifying than this.

Surrounded by the people, Jun Chen's eyes were slightly sour, but he did not hesitate to get into the carriage that his family came to greet him.

Zhou Shiren sat in the carriage, his reddish eyes were bloodshot, and after getting the news, he immediately cried in the ancestral hall of the Jun family.

At this moment, he is not a scheming strategist of the monarch's family, but a descendant of the wronged.

In the carriage, Zhou Shiren said with a smile: "I can finally put a stick of incense on my ancestors without any scruples today." ”
