Li Maki did not live in the palace, and after talking to Li Hongzhi, he returned to his post station.

Originally, he thought that he would leave Beijing that night, after all, he did everything possible to escape from the capital, and his days at the border over the years can be said to be like a fish in water, if it weren't for Wu Zhidun's desire to kill them all this time, plus Li Hongzhi's request for help, he would not have come back.

In this place in the capital, it is lively and lively, but in the end, it can't compare to the border pass where he freely drinks and eats meat.

Wu Zhidun's charge of vainly trying to subvert the imperial court was confirmed, and he was directly taken to the prison by Gu Li, ready to be tried tomorrow.

Gu Li let Xiao Gongzi go.

This time, between the two, victory is also victory, defeat is also defeat, years of operation, most of the dead and injured brothers, the gains outweigh the losses.

"Just let him go?" Zhang Zhen said.

Gu Li sighed: "But you can't go." ”

Zhang Zhen looked indifferent, he ripped off the corner of his clothes, wrapped a few random wounds around his injured arm, and said: "Lubai is dead, I don't have anything to do, I know you are not wrong, but I can't convince myself, none of you know how I lived in those years, it was Wu Zhidun who helped me." ”

Gu Li was silent for a moment, beckoned to the back, and a man in black stepped forward: "Take him down to bandage his wounds and detain him first." ”

"Yes."

Before Zhang Zhen left, he asked Gu Li: "Don't you regret it at all?" ”

Gu Li didn't answer him, but only asked someone to take him away.

When he returned to the imperial study, Li Mao had already been away from the palace for a while, and Zhang Jiusheng and Yunsheng were still left in the imperial study, and Sanyu was busy in the palace to deal with follow-up affairs.

"Come in, what are you doing outside?" Li Hongzhi called.

"See the Holy One."

Li Hongzhi looked at him: "His face is not very good." ”

Gu Li didn't speak.

"Regret it?"

Gu Li raised his head suddenly, and then knelt down.

Zhang Jiusheng and Yun Sheng didn't know what was going on at all, they just stood aside, a little stunned.

Li Hongzhi put down the pen in his hand, walked in front of Gu Li, stretched out his hand to help him up, and said, "I don't regret it, everyone has to pay the price for the wrong things they have done, and Lin Lubai can't do it." ”

"She used to be a good girl."

"So what? She told us in many ways, but she chose to keep her mouth shut. Do you know what I said to her that night that made her decide not to die? ”

Gu Li shook his head.

"I told her that Nalan has served the country and the people all her life, and her lifelong desire is to serve the court and eradicate traitors, but she keeps saying that she likes Nalan, but she never knows what Nalan wants, why does she say that she loves him, and what qualifications does she have to go down to see him?" Li Hong said word by word, patting Gu Li's shoulder: "It's not that I won't let her die, but if she kills herself, it will be worthless." The wrong thing has been done, irreparable, but a person's life, whether long or short, will one day be able to realize the value. ”

"Nalan is a substitute for death, so she also ......" Gu Li didn't say it more clearly, but everyone present was clear.

Zhang Jiusheng had seen Lin Lubai, but he didn't know her name at that time.

Yun Sheng knew that someone was dying for the red bean, but he didn't know that the twists and turns had lasted for so many years.

Sigh.

"This matter involves several people, Zhang Zhen is also in it, the mistakes he made ......" Li Hongzhi frowned, and then said: "Lock him up in the place where Lin Lubai was imprisoned before, and he will not be allowed to take half a step in his life." ”

Gu Li opened his mouth slightly, and then lowered his head: "Yes, Holy Lord." ”

Li Hongzhi glanced back at Yun Sheng and Zhang Jiusheng, gently pulled the corners of his mouth, and said: "I have worked hard for you tonight, fortunately I am not injured, otherwise I really don't know how to face the deceased eldest grandson Prime Minister, you go back to rest first, and come back early tomorrow morning." ”

"Yes."

Yun Sheng wanted to say something more and ask something, but Zhang Jiusheng couldn't wait to pull Yun Sheng out of the imperial study.

When the two of them walked on the long road, their mood was not the same as before they came.

No nervousness, no worries, no panic.

"Scared?" Zhang Jiusheng asked.

Yun Sheng shook his head and only said, "It's like a farce, I really can't imagine that my father died at the hands of that Vice Minister Wu." ”

Zhang Jiusheng sighed: "When my father returned home, he told me that when the emperor was alive, there were already many parties in the court, and there was a miasma, so he decided to leave Beijing at that time. It's just that I didn't expect to be put on a table before leaving. ”

"When he was still the crown prince, life was already difficult. Listening to Sanyu, he hasn't had a good night's sleep for a long time, and since he became the prince, he always had to be extra careful when eating, sleeping, and going out, because there were always people staring at him and trying to kill him. I seem to be much luckier than him in comparison. ”

The night wind blew on the two of them one after another, blowing away all the turbidity that they had accumulated for so long, and it seemed that something was beginning to sprout.

This road is gradually coming to an end.

The palace gate opened, and the soldiers guarding it changed their unfamiliar faces.

The one in Fenglai Palace, the news is closed, and now she knows all the things that matter, whether it is the chamberlain in her palace or the palace maid, all of them have been replaced by Li Hongzhi's people.

Food and clothing, everything is still done in accordance with the rules of the Queen Mother.

It's just that I can't see others, let alone Wu Zhidun.

"A family of idiots." Li Hongzhi said.

"That's what the Holy One said."

"If it weren't for Zhang Zhen's advice behind him, he thought his Wu family would be able to enter the imperial court? Can the daughter of his Wu family enjoy the gift of the queen mother and stay in the harem for so long? ”

"Wu Zhidun is in prison, still shouting that Zhang Zhen is the mastermind behind him, and he is innocent."

Li Hongzhi sneered: "There is no repentance, and the intention is intended." ”

"Yes."

The next day, the genius was bright, and Li Hongzhi got up.

Since he ascended the throne, he has not taken the court seriously for a long time, and this is the first time.

This dragon robe is only now meaningful.

Sanyu personally changed Li Hongzhi's clothes, took the gold silk and jade belt from the palace maid with both hands, and respectfully put it on for Li Hongzhi.

Li Hongzhi opened his hand, his eyes didn't know where he was looking, and he only said, "Sanyu, I'm an emperor." ”

Sanyu only felt sad and said softly, "Yes, Holy Lord." ”

How did I get over the years, and now that I think about it, it's not all bitter.

Li Hongzhi glanced at Changyu and patted him on the shoulder: "Go to court with me." ”

"Yes."

Hundreds of civil and military officials were already standing outside the hall and waiting, until Sanyu stepped out of the threshold of the main hall and shouted: "Go to court!" ”

This time, Zhang Jiusheng did not accompany Yun Sheng to the court, he was a local official, and he was not allowed to enter Beijing without a summons, let alone enter the court, he sent Yun Sheng to the gate of the palace, and watched her go inside step by step.

"I'll be waiting for you outside!" Zhang Jiusheng shouted inside, and many people who didn't know the truth were eating and laughing.

Yun Sheng followed behind Gu Li, turned his head to see Zhang Jiusheng still standing there, she waved her hand vigorously, and the smile on her face was unprecedentedly relaxed.

"Eh, wait for me!" Zhang Tong didn't know where he came from, followed by the unhurried Guan Ning.

"Master Zhang......" Guan Ning walked up to Zhang Jiusheng and greeted him with a light smile.

"Uncle Guan, thank you for your hard work."

"It's okay, let's go first."

"Okay."

Zhang Tong was in a hurry, ran over and smiled at Zhang Jiusheng, and then grabbed Guan Ning and ran to the palace, I don't know if he said hello, the two of them rushed in, and the guards didn't stop them.

When their backs disappeared from sight, Zhang Jiusheng slowly turned around and found a restaurant by himself, intending to wait while eating.

On the other side, Gu Li and the others were waiting outside the hall first.

"Do you confess the sins on this list?"

Wu Zhidun knelt below, his robe was loose, his whole body trembled, and his eyes stared at the directory that fell in front of him.

And he is the one who keeps things down.

"Okay, since you don't say it, then ask him personally."

Before Li Hongzhi's words fell, Chang Yu waved his hand to the palace people next to him, and a woman walked in outside the main hall, dressed plainly, and at first glance she was an ordinary person, her eyes were red and she knelt down beside Wu Zhidun, her eyes were full of hatred.

"Recognizable?"

"Recognize it, turn it to ashes!" If it had not been for the main hall, the woman would not have been able to contain her anger, and would have gone up and strangled him.

"Tell me."

"My family is a breakfast stall, and I can't make much money all year round, it's him! He and another person came to my stall early in the morning to buy breakfast, both of them were drunk, bought a few buns and didn't give money, my father-in-law asked them for money, they didn't say a word, beat him to death! How can you live with two children at home?! The woman fell on her stomach on the temple, weeping silently.

Li Hongzhi took a deep breath, tried to calm his voice, and continued to ask, "Have you ever reported to the official?" ”

The woman covered her face with her hands, and it took a long time for her to recover: "I have reported it, but no one has accepted it at all." ”

"Who are you reporting for? Can the man stand here? ”

The woman raised her head and looked at Li Hongzhi timidly.

"Just say it, don't be afraid."

Li Hongzhi said firmly, and the woman straightened up, and her gaze swept over the faces of the ministers standing around, some dodging, some looking directly at her.

Suddenly, the woman lifted up her hand and pointed it at one of them.

Li Hongzhi looked over, it was Yin Liu Yu of Jingzhao Mansion.

Liu Yu was identified, and immediately knelt down and shouted that he was wronged.

Li Hongzhi closed his eyes, and then looked at Liu Yu: "Jingzhao Mansion Yin, you don't have to shout injustice, you look at the list, there should also be your name." ”

Liu Yu was stunned, then reacted and pointed directly at Wu Zhidun: "The saint, the saint is clear, they are all Wu Xiang's forced Weichen, and Weichen doesn't want it!" ”

Li Hongzhi waved his hand and said: "Jingzhao Mansion Yin, from now on, he will be dismissed and investigated, handed over to Dali Temple, and dragged out." ”

Liu Yudang lay on the ground, grabbed the corner of Wu Zhidun's clothes, and cried loudly: "Wu Xiang! Wu Xiang! I'm all for you! ”

"Wu Xiang, are you still not going to say anything?"

Wu Zhidun let out a long sigh, slowly raised his head, and looked at Li Hongzhi for a long time before he slowly spoke: "The Holy Admiral has prepared all the evidence, do you want Weichen to say anything?" ”
