Sure enough, when Zhong Zhen's matter broke out, the whole country was shaken. Ten thousand people gathered at the gate of Dali Temple, demanding that the criminals be dealt with strictly and give Zhong Zhen an explanation.

The emperor was very angry, and ordered Zhang Huai to strictly supervise, Dali Temple and the Criminal Department to thoroughly investigate the matter, and be sure to give the people an explanation.

After Chen Guifei knew about this, she was also furious, she had always known that Huang Biao was lustful, but for the sake of him having done a lot of things for himself and never had a major incident, she turned a blind eye to his bastard things, but she didn't expect him to be so bold that he dared to move Zhong Zhen and cause such a catastrophe.

After the incident, she immediately went to the emperor to ask for her guilt, and the emperor blamed her for conniving at her relatives to commit a big crime, and let her kneel in the imperial study for a day, and did not let her get up.

Because Huang Biao was an official under Li Wei, Li Wei was implicated, and was severely reprimanded by the emperor in public, and punished him for a crime of lax control, and ordered him to thoroughly investigate his subordinate officials to see if there were any villains like Huang Biao.

And when Huang Biao saw that the matter was revealed, after being arrested in Dali Temple, he shouted every day to see the concubine, in a vain attempt to let the concubine save him.

Chen Guifei was afraid that he would say something unfavorable to him, so he instructed Li Wei to go to see him in prison and threatened him not to say anything unfavorable to Guifei.

Those women who had been ruined by the Yellow Label and did not dare to avenge their grievances saw that the matter had reached the heavens and that the Yellow Label was gone, so they stood up and testified. There are also people who have been beaten to death by the yellow label bullies, and they also stand up to count the heinous crimes of the bullies.

There are many witnesses and material evidence, and there is the emperor's attention, the prime minister supervises, less than half a month, Dali Temple with the momentum of thunder, the crime committed by Huang Biao is clear, and finally, the criminal Huang Biao was sentenced to be dismissed from his post and beheaded for public display.

On the day of the execution, all the people in the capital gathered outside the court, all gritting their teeth and spitting on this villain in the capital.

And the happiest thing is Zhang Huaiyan, because of his meritorious work in exposing this matter, the emperor exempted him from a one-year penalty and thought about it. He had been pressed by Li Wei for too long, and this time he was ashamed, and he felt that his mood had not been so comfortable for a long time.

After Huang Biao was brought to justice, he invited King Jing'an to the mansion to celebrate, but Jiang Yichen refused on the grounds that he was unwell and should not drink.

However, Xiao Junyan didn't understand Jiang Yichen's low-key this time. After he watched Huang Biao's execution, he went to the palace to ask for an understanding.

"Brother Jiang, I know that you have always been low-key and don't like to be in the limelight, but don't forget the purpose of returning to Beijing this time, this time, the biggest contributor is you, but you are good, you have been hiding behind, and the credit is all for Zhang Huaiyan."

In the face of Xiao Junyan's complaints, Jiang Yichen didn't care, he said lightly: "Lord Zhang helped me this time and avenged Yue'er, if you take the credit, you should pay him back." ”

Xiao Junyan hated iron and said: "You will be a good person, at this juncture, you need to get the emperor's weight as soon as possible, and hold the power as soon as possible to take revenge, but you are good, and you easily lost this opportunity." ”

Jiang Yichen smiled at the corner of his mouth, ignoring his words.

Cheng Qingyue, who was on the side, saw Brother Chen's unfazed look, and knew that this matter was not so simple, she guessed: "I think Brother Chen must have another plan in his heart if he does this, right?" ”

Jiang Yichen smiled approvingly, Xiao Junyan saw his expression, and knew that Cheng Qingyue guessed well, and asked urgently: "Don't sell it, tell me quickly, what's going on?" ”

Jiang Yichen said calmly: "On the surface, Zhang Huaiyan has solved an old case, allowing the unjust soul to be revealed, and has made great contributions. But if you think about it carefully, what are the adverse consequences of this matter after the grievance is redressed? ”

Cheng Qingyue cupped her cheeks and thought: "Before the truth of the matter was exposed, Zhong Zhen was a perfect image of a chaste martyr, but now, people know that she did not die of martyrdom, but was insulted to death, so that her image is not so perfect, naturally, her influence on today's women and even future generations is not so great." ”

"Not bad!" Jiang Yichen agreed: "In the environment where I, Jiang Guo, do not object to women's remarriage, Zhong Zhen's integrity is even more commendable, and it is more convincing than people's oral preaching, or books teaching women to be loyal." As the emperor is the Son of Heaven, of course he hopes that his subjects will be like Zhong Zhen and can be loyal to others, but now, the image of the spiritual leader that his subjects believe in has collapsed, what do you think the emperor will think? ”

Xiao Junyan replied: "He is naturally unhappy in his heart. ”

"That's right, we can't say that the emperor is unwilling to avenge Zhong Zhen, but compared to this result, the emperor is more willing to see the perfect result at the beginning."

Hearing Brother Chen say this, Cheng Qingyue felt a little uncomfortable: "Just because he wants to use Zhong Zhen's matter to educate the world, so the truth is revealed, but the emperor is not happy?" ”

Jiang Yichen knew that Yue'er was kind by nature, and she was upset about Zhong Zhen, so she comforted her and said: "Having said that, in the end, Miss Zhong's grievances have been rehabilitated, and Yue'er should not mind." ”

Xiao Junyan said impatiently: "That's why I hate you people in the officialdom, your thoughts are deep, complicated, and boring." ”

Jiang Yichen was willing to do this, if it weren't for his heavy responsibility, he would never want to get involved in these disputes.

Cheng Qingyue saw that Xiao Junyan was in a bad mood and asked: "The monarch of Anguo saved me before, I haven't thanked me in person, why don't we go to Yang Mansion today, I remember you said before that you have a chance to meet her for a while." ”

When Xiao Junyan heard this, he immediately became excited: "Okay, okay, it's exactly what I want, there have been too many bad things recently, it's time to relax." ”

After discussing, the three of them drove to Yang's mansion.

Besides, on the palace side, after the yellow label was brought to justice, Zhang Huaiyan immediately went to the palace to discuss with the queen, and took advantage of the emperor's disgust with Chen Guifei to quickly take down Yang Chengzhi. After listening to her brother's words, the queen did not delay and drove to the Changsheng Palace.

When she arrived in the hall, she saw the emperor leaning on the couch, his eyes narrowed slightly, closing his eyes to recuperate, and Chen Guifei was waiting beside her with low eyebrows, so she knew that this slut's bitter plan had worked, she glared at Chen fiercely, and then changed a smile to His Majesty and said: "The concubine sees the emperor." ”

King Jiang didn't open his eyes, and only said that the queen was coming.

The queen was a little surprised by the emperor's indifference, it stands to reason that her brother has just made a great contribution, and the emperor should not have this attitude towards her.

Chen Guifei also noticed the alienation in the emperor's words, and sneered in her heart, it seems that some people are sticking hot faces to cold buttocks.

However, the queen knew the purpose of her coming today, and said quietly on her face: "Your Majesty, the concubine came today to ask Your Majesty for something." ”

"What's the matter?"

The queen glanced at Concubine Chen, with this slut here, she would definitely stop her, so she couldn't let her hear the conversation here.

King Jiang's eyes opened slightly, and after glancing at the two of them, he already understood, and he instructed the concubine: "You go down first." ”

Chen Guifei was a little unwilling, and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty." ”

Jiang Wang signaled with his eyes again, and she reluctantly retreated.

After Chen Guifei left, the queen walked to King Jiang and sat down, and while beating his back, she said: "Your Majesty, the concubine arranged for Yang Chengzhi to meet with my niece before, and after my niece went back, she never forgot Yang Chengzhi, and her father also begged me many times to facilitate this matter. ”

King Jiang opened his eyes and said, "How did I hear that Yang Chengzhi was very infatuated with his dead wife, and he didn't take it again for her, how did the queen say that he changed his mind?" ”

The queen only reacted for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Although Yang Chengzhi is infatuated with his wife, but his wife has been dead for so many years, and as a man, he has lived in the border military camp for so many years, and he doesn't feel lonely at all, and the concubine doesn't believe it." Therefore, the concubine felt that Yang Chengzhi was not unwilling to marry again, but embarrassed, as long as His Majesty was willing to give marriage, he must be willing. ”

King Jiang thought for a while and said: "What the queen said is reasonable, I will summon Yang Jingye into the palace another day to ask, this kind of thing, even if I give marriage, I must inform my parents." ”

Seeing that His Majesty had already agreed, the queen did not press it, and said, "What Your Majesty said is that General Yang should be informed. ”

On the way back, the palace maid hurriedly came, and said something in her ear only to see her face becoming colder and colder, and returned to the palace angrily.

When they arrived at the palace, Zhang Huaiyan and Zhang Huaiqing had been waiting for a long time, their faces were clouded, and the queen asked angrily: "How could this happen!" ”

Zhang Huaiqing is the queen's brother, his grandfather and the queen's grandfather are brothers, so he does not belong to the queen's bloodline, he is not like Zhang Huaiyan is the queen's brother, nor is Zhang Huaize the queen's cousin, so he is very frightened of the queen's questioning, "The queen's mother, Biyun's dead girl, I have long known that she is adulterous with the son of the housekeeper in the house, since the queen's mother chose her to marry Yang Chengzhi, Weichen has taken strict care of her, and also drove the housekeeper and his son out, but I don't want the dead girl to be bold, was martyred with him. ”

The queen was so angry that she didn't know what to say at this time, she just asked Her Majesty for marriage, and Your Majesty had already agreed, and now there is this matter again, how should Your Majesty look at their Zhang family!

After the incident, Zhang Huaiqing went to find Zhang Huaiyan for the first time, Zhang Huaiyan was also angry, it was originally the icing on the cake, but now it has become like this, and he can't think of a solution, so he has to take Zhang Huaiqing into the palace and discuss countermeasures with the queen.

The queen's face was gloomy for a long time, and then she said angrily: "She is a concubine, and the palace promoted her because of her outstanding appearance, but I didn't expect her to be so unmotivated, and she was martyred with her subordinates, which really lost the face of my Zhang family, and you, what are you doing, you can't even look at your own daughter!!"

Zhang Huaiqing nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "The queen's lesson is that all this is Weichen's fault."

Zhang Huaiyan is a person who is used to seeing big scenes, and after he was angry, he immediately realized that now is not the time to be accountable, but to think of a solution, "Queen Mother, please calm your anger, today's plan, we should hide this matter and prevent it from reaching Your Majesty's ears." ”

"What the eldest brother said is that after the incident, I have sealed off the house to prevent the news from being exposed."

The queen said hatefully, "You are still smart."

Zhang Huaiyan continued: "Since Zhang Biyun is dead, on the one hand, we have to call her to the outside world that she died of a sudden illness, and on the other hand, we will choose a daughter from the clan to replace her and marry the Yang family."

"What my brother said is that I will ask my brother to prepare for this matter, and the emperor will find a way, I hope that this matter has not been spread yet, so there is still room for maneuver."

"Yes, Queen Mother, I'll do it!"

After the two left, the queen frowned, looked fixedly into the distance, and repeatedly thought about how to speak to His Majesty so as not to disgust His Majesty.
