The eldest princess of the Protectorate disagreed, and asked Chonghua: "Your Majesty, this old fool doesn't dare to do this, but he is indeed confused enough." How about Your Majesty please give this old thing a chance to atone for his sins? ”

A hint of cunning flashed in Chonghua's eyes, and he said expressionlessly: "Then it depends on what he does." Anyway, the assassin insisted that he did it, and if he wanted to prove his innocence, he had to take action. ”

His Majesty the Emperor is most eager for nothing more than to change the situation in which Zhong Weiwei's sister and brother are all shouting and fighting, so that Zhong Weiwei's movements will not be restricted, and it is best to live in the palace.

Chuan Li realized that His Majesty the Emperor did not necessarily believe the Assassin's confession, and he had to take the opportunity to pinch him to be true.

But thinking of that incident back then, his heart was still extremely heavy: "But ......"

The eldest princess of the Protector interrupted him sharply: "It's nothing! If you make a mistake, you have to change it, you are young and fashionable and have shame, why do you have no shame when you are old? ”

Like a basin of cold water poured on his head, Chuan Li shook his head, knelt in front of Chonghua and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the old minister is guilty and willing to be punished." ”

Chonghua narrowed his eyes slightly: "What are you guilty of?" ”

Chuan Li turned his heart sideways and said loudly: "Back then, the case of Qiu Ze was tried by Lao Chen and Yang Da and others, and there were many doubts, but for some reason, Emperor Zhenzong and Yang Da had to put him to death. There was also interference from Wei and Lu, and in order to prevent his wife and children's protégés from being implicated, Lao Chen regretted it with his conscience. ”

Chonghua Zhengse said: "Didn't you tell a lie to cater to me?" If Qiu Ze is really treasonous, although I love Qiu Ming, I will not be so confused. ”

Chuan Li's eyes showed a look like a broken boat, and he said loudly: "Back to Your Majesty's words, the old minister will guarantee with Xiang Shang's head that Qiu Ze is not treasonous, he only offended Yang Da and the Lu family, and he will be suspicious of Your Majesty." ”

Yang Da was the favored minister of Zhenzong back then, and he was also a powerful figure, when Zhenzong died, he committed suicide in front of Zhenzong's spirit, saying that he was willing to follow Zhenzong underground.

Chuan Li mentioned Yang Da, and there is no proof of death.

Chonghua's eyes were colorful: "I don't believe that you are this kind of person, what is the secret in it?" ”

Chuan Li lowered his eyes and kowtowed heavily: "That's it." That's why when the old minister learned that Zhong Weiwei was the daughter of Qiu Ze, he obstructed it in every possible way, fearing that his reputation would be ruined. ”

He paused and said in a low voice: "Master Wei, it is also because he knows this old matter, so he will coerce the old minister, and want the old minister to advance and retreat with them. ”

It also makes sense. An old minister like Chuan Li values reputation more than his life, and the most important thing at the moment is to let Zhong Weiwei come out, and other things can be investigated slowly.

Chonghua asked Chuan Li: "If you want to overturn the case, I want you to come out and confess, have you thought about it?" ”

Chuan Li raised his eyes to look at the eldest princess of the Protectorate, his eyes were misty, and there was a hidden expectation.

The eldest princess of the Protector nodded at him imperceptibly.

Chuan Li was relieved, and said loudly: "The old minister was originally a border city of Weimo cloth, if it weren't for Emperor Shenzong's discerning acquaintance, where would there be today's achievements?" The glory and wealth were originally given by the royal family, and it is enough to return it today. ”

Chonghua can't wait: "That ......"

The eldest princess of the Protectorate said angrily: "It's getting late today, even if you want to turn yourself in, you have to leave a time for someone to go home and make arrangements." Are you still afraid that something will happen to me? ”

Chonghua saw Chuan Li's gray-haired appearance, and remembered that he had worked hard over the years, so he took a step back: "It's okay." ”

The eldest princess walked out tremblingly and called Shangchuan Li: "Come on, I have something to say to you." ”

Chuan Li saluted and retreated, catching up with the pace of the eldest princess, only to hear Chonghua say coldly behind him: "Retry today's assassination case, be sure to ask the real culprit behind the scenes." ”

The eldest princess and Chuan Li walked out one after the other, and when they saw that Chuan Li was always two steps behind her carefully, they couldn't help but sigh: "You're already a person who has half of your body in the ground, and you are still so careful." ”

Chuan Li was respectful: "Her Royal Highness the princess will always be unattainable in the eyes of the old ministers. ”

The eldest princess stopped, glanced at him lightly, and snorted coldly: "Really? Because the main shrine is unattainable, you have been avoiding the main shrine all these years? ”

Chuan Li said softly: "You are your high-ranking highness, Chuan Li is just a cloth from the border city, and finally the official robe is added, but you are already the saint of the Holy Maiden Palace, you are the bright moon in the sky, and the old minister is just the sludge underground." ”

"Tsk......" the eldest princess said sarcastically: "It's so sour that you lose your teeth!" Well, let's not talk about the past years, let me ask you, what's going on? You are not a forgetful person. You don't regret getting to where you are today? ”

Chuan Li was silent for a long time and said, "Get in the car and talk about it." ”

The two helped each other to get into the car, and the carriage drove away, and the eldest princess confirmed that no one was eavesdropping, so she said, "Say it." ”

Chuan Li said: "In this matter, Qiu Ze is indeed wronged, but he is not completely wronged, he touched people and things that should not be touched." I am indeed not afraid of the coercion of Zhenzong and the coercion of Yang Da, and I am not afraid of the small actions of the Lu family, I just promised Emperor Shenzong one thing, even if it is death, I will do this well for the rest of my life. ”

At the time of the Qiu Ze case, the eldest princess was not in Beijing, so many things were not very clear, and she couldn't help but be very shocked when she heard this: "What's the matter?" ”

Chuan was secretive and glanced in the direction where the palace was located.

"Wei's and Lu's are really the poisonous sores of the country, and the reason why the royal brother played this game of chess back then was precisely to cut the sores."

The eldest princess understood, and sighed: "I know what you are afraid of, but the Qiu sisters and brothers are not people who will be blinded by hatred, Qiu Ming is sincere to His Majesty, if she is the last, she is much better than others, and when she sits firmly in the back position, it is the best time for us to eradicate the Wei family and the Lu family." I just wronged you. ”

Chuan Li shook his head lightly: "I'm not wronged, I said, this life is yours, as long as you want, you can take it at any time." ”

The eldest princess turned her face away: "Su Xian has been dead for thirty years, right?" ”

mentioned his deceased wife, Chuan Li showed a little nostalgia: "She is a good girl." ”

In that year, the eldest princess of the protectorate left the country of Li, built the palace of the holy woman, and was willing to be a saint and never marry. In order to cut off his thoughts, Emperor Shenzong forced Su Xian to marry him, and after marriage, he couldn't talk about love, but he also lived a warm and peaceful life.

After Su Xian's death, he never married again. In a blink of an eye, so many years have passed.

The eldest princess was rarely melancholy: "It's here, you go down." ”

Chuan Li got out of the car tremblingly, turned around and asked her: "If I am ruined, will you look down on me?" ”

The eldest princess said very seriously: "If I am ruined, the first person to come to you will be." ”

"I see!" Chuan Li laughed, raised his head and sang a long song, and the person in his eighties actually showed a bit of the unique demeanor of a young man.
