In the early morning, the sky showed a trace of fish belly white, and the officials waiting for the court stood outside the court.

There are so many things going on these days that it is dazzling and stressful, and the officials yawn and exchange glances with each other, all with a cautious look that does not dare to say much.

Someone whispered: "Hey, isn't that the boss of Chuanli?" Why is he here? Don't have a sedan yet? ”

Because of his old age, he has long been granted permission to go to court, and if he has something to go to court, he can take a soft sedan car directly outside the court.

This is the supreme glory, so every time Chuan Li comes, he will take a soft sedan chair, and even the last time, a hundred officials admonished, he also sit.

But today, not only did Chuan Li not take a sedan chair, nor did he bring someone to serve, but carried an ordinary rattan cane and walked slowly to this side.

His protégé immediately surrounded him and asked for warmth, and wanted to help him: "Why didn't the old man take a sedan chair today?" There is no one to serve with you. ”

Chuan Li waved his hand, not allowing them to help, walked under the drum by himself, looked up at the huge drum for a long time, slowly climbed up to the drum platform, threw away the crutches, and picked up the drumstick.

The officials were shocked when they saw this, does this old man still want to admonish?

I haven't heard that Your Majesty has done anything angry and resentful in the past two days, although Zhong Weiwei came out of the edict, but that is a special situation, and with Her Royal Highness the eldest princess watching, nothing can happen.

If you make any more trouble, you're looking for a beating.

Many people's buttocks hurt, and they hurriedly ran over to persuade him: "Boss, what do you want to admonish?" ”

"If you have something to say, let's discuss the charter."

Chuan Li turned a deaf ear, raised his drumstick, and with all his strength, slammed it on the drum.

In a trance, he remembered the Tsing Yi scholar who had just entered Beijing from the border, in his prime, ambitious, standing here, looking up at the emperors, his heart was full of awe and joy, and he vowed to protect his family and country, and made immortal achievements......

I thought of the peerless young woman, dressed in plain clothes, awe-inspiring justice, walking out of the door, the resoluteness and brilliance between her eyebrows and eyes were more dazzling than the rarest gems in the world, and she never looked back......

His heart ached, and a surge of blood stirred up, he waved his already old arms, knocked again and again, and the old and passionate voice echoed endlessly in the palace-

"The sinner minister is divorced, he has the grace of God, he is greedy for glory, he is selfish, he is subservient to the charm of the night, he does not redress his grievances, and he does not correct his mistakes...... One thought is wrong, and blood flows like a river, so that people's livelihood is difficult and national strength is weakened......"

The sun rises in the east, the breeze gradually rises, and Chuanli's snow-white beard and wide purple official uniform are waving in the wind, and they are plated with a light layer of gold.

The hundred officials were silent, looking at Chuan Li stupidly, unable to believe what they had just heard.

People quickly exchanged glances, did they really respond to the words of Wei's father and son, did Boss Chuan Li do something wrong, so that the evening was not guaranteed?

Some people also suspect that His Majesty must have forced the boss to do this, otherwise how could there be such a big difference between before and after?

One of Chuanli's disciples couldn't help but cry bitterly: "Teacher, the student heard it right, right? Are you confused? ”

Chuan Li turned a deaf ear and loudly repeated the words just now, which were confessions, but he read them, but there was another kind of impassionedness in them.

The door gradually opened, and the eunuch's shrill voice suddenly sounded, and the hundred officials went to court.

Chuan Li threw the drumstick in a dashing manner, got off the drum platform like a young man, walked in front of the hundred officials, and strode inside.

Chonghua was high on the dragon throne, silently overlooking the striding Chuanli.

Seeing him bow down and admit his guilt, state the charges, and then remove his official hat and uniform, and lie on the ground to admit his mistakes and plead guilty, there was an inexplicable sense of pathos in his heart, which diluted the joy that Zhong Weiwei's sister and brother could finally get out of the fence and officially start the review of Qiu Ze's case.

The news about Chuan Li's favoritism, disregard for human life, and misjudgment of the former Dasi Cha Qiuze treason, which led to the extinction of the Xuexi Qiu clan and the discontinuation of the Liguo tea ceremony, was like a tornado, quickly swept through the capital, and before noon, the streets and alleys knew about it.

Zhong Weiwei was invited to the main courtyard where the eldest princess lived.

The eldest princess leaned crookedly on the soft couch in front of the window, staring at a tank of goldfish on the windowsill in a daze, and the female official reminded her several times before she woke up: "You are here." Sit. ”

The eldest princess looked tired, as if she had not slept all night, and her voice was very hoarse, she raised her arms and rubbed them, her expression was very painful.

Zhong Weiwei thought for a while and asked, "I had cold legs before, and I learned a few techniques of massage, which can relieve the pain." If you don't dislike it, I'll rub it for you? ”

The eldest princess stretched out her hand: "Then you will have to work." ”

Zhong Weiwei stepped forward, sat down beside her, and took her arms into his arms and kneaded them.

The eldest princess half-closed her eyes comfortably, and said in a low voice, "Do you know what day it is?" ”

Zhong Weiwei shook his head: "I don't know." ”

The eldest princess opened her eyes suddenly, and her old eyes were shining: "Didn't Your Majesty tell you?" ”

Zhong Weiwei was stunned: "No, after Your Majesty came last night, he quarreled with me for most of the night for a gold medal for avoiding death." ”

Chonghua couldn't hide the fact that she was rewarded with a gold medal to avoid death, rather than others telling the eldest princess, it was better for her to save the taste.

"Little children...... eldest princess snorted and said lightly: "Today is your big day." Chuan Li will beat the drum on the morning today, confess his guilt to His Majesty, and make it clear that your father's case was indeed wronged. Presumably, at this moment, he has already done it. ”

Chonghua came over last night and didn't mention it at all, only said that if she was asked to endure for a few days, he would take her back as soon as possible. Zhong Weiwei didn't expect that this case had anything to do with Chuan Li, but thinking of Chuan Li's appearance of leading against her, he also understood a little in his heart.

So, is Daddy really wronged, not really treason? Isn't it wishful thinking on her part for a child?

Zhong Weiwei's eyes were slightly red, and he choked up: "Is this really the case?" Not for other reasons? "For example, was Chonghua forced Chuan Li to confess by means?

"You underestimated Your Majesty too much, and underestimated Chuan Li too much. If your father is really treasonous and his sin is unforgivable, they will not show favoritism, but at most they will reward you for their merits and choose your two siblings. ”

The eldest princess sighed deeply: "The things of the past, so many people died, and the blood of my country flowed like a river, and since then the tea ceremony has been broken, and the national strength has declined, and it has only improved today." Chuan left him, and he couldn't help it, he was also very sad, he blamed himself for many years, and it was difficult to sleep and eat, you ...... Can you not blame him? ”

Zhong Weiwei stopped his movements and looked at the eldest princess in silence.
