Emperor Duanhua never expected things to turn out like this, although his little aunt had a smooth marriage because she was a young daughter, so she basically never suffered grievances in her life - but, when Emperor Xianjia made a final decision before, she was disgraced enough for a while, right?

If it weren't for her concubine Fuyang Bo proposing to use her own title to atone for his wife, Emperor Xianjia would even have demoted her as the eldest princess!

Later, the family was exiled to Qiongzhou, compared to the days before Lu Chaoyu, this ending is tragic enough, okay?

I didn't see that she couldn't think about it.

Why are you looking for death now?

Of course, Emperor Duanhua had been looking forward to this aunt's death for a long time, so after receiving this news, he also felt relieved.

Next, it is natural to think about how to explain to the Empress Dowager and the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom.

——The emperor grabbed Zheng An as Lu Chaoyu's marrying guard before, and when he did not thoroughly interrogate Zheng An's purpose and main envoy to Liaozhou, he euphemistically forced the empress dowager and the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom to agree with him to reduce Lu Chaoyu's family to civilians, which was very bad when he was the prince.

But the conditions negotiated at that time were that the lives of Lu Chaoyu's family could be saved, and they could even leave some of their belongings and still enjoy a rich and prosperous life.

Therefore, even if Emperor Duanhua did not provide conclusive evidence at that time, proving that Zheng An was driven by the eldest princess of Daiguo to go to Liaozhou and harm Jian Yiyu's family, the empress dowager and the eldest princess of Jin gave in.

This is not that they can't resist Emperor Duanhua's plan, the main thing is that they don't want to increase Emperor Duanhua's hatred and disgust for Lu Chaoyu, and they want to make the emperor angry, in exchange for Lu Chaoyu's family to die a good death - but now Lu Chaoyu and his wife are gone!

Even if they are self-sufficient. However, the chamberlain sent to Qiongzhou was Emperor Duanhua's person, how could the Empress Dowager and the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom not suspect that it was the chamberlain who was ordered by Emperor Duanhua, or privately made his own opinion, insulted and hinted at Lu Chaoyu and his wife, and made them have to die?

Emperor Duanhua knew that he would either come up with evidence of Lu Chaoyu's plot to prove that the couple was afraid of sin. end, it is not to kill it all; Either it is to prove that he has never made small moves in private and forced his little aunt and uncle to death!

Otherwise, the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom will be repaid, and the empress dowager will definitely not give up!

As the grandmother of Emperor Duanhua, the Empress Dowager has a way to make things difficult for her grandson!

The reason why after Emperor Duanhua ascended the throne, she was concerned about the emperor and worked hard to repair the relationship between her ancestors and grandchildren, but it was not that she was afraid when she saw her grandson as an emperor!

But because Emperor Duanhua was established by Emperor Xianjia, the Empress Dowager felt sad whenever she thought that she sent a white-haired person to a black-haired person, and she sent more than one black-haired person, and it was inevitable that Emperor Duanhua would have feelings of love for the house and Wu;

Second, it was for the sake of his youngest daughter Lu Chaoyu - Emperor Duanhua hated his little aunt very much, once he was wronged by the Empress Dowager, and he was not good at taking the Empress Dowager because of filial piety, he had to go to Lu Chaoyu's family to make a punching bag!

As a result, now Lu Chaoyu and his wife are dead!

Or the night after the decree since then. Exhausted.

How could the Empress Dowager not ask Emperor Duanhua for an explanation?!

Without the weakness of Lu Chaoyu, the Empress Dowager can be said to have nothing to fear.

She is very old, and she has the advantage of her elders, and if she says a few words, she can make Emperor Duanhua unable to eat and walk around - Emperor Duanhua can't do anything with her, after all, the two kings of Suxiang are still there, and the forces that support them have not been devastated.

Emperor Duanhua wants to have a reputation as an unfilial grandmother, and the court will have a lot of turmoil!

When the Empress Dowager Su was hanging from the beam before, Emperor Duanhua waited with the queen mother for several days before he quelled the rumors that he was not good to his mother-in-law!

Not to mention his own grandmother?

This is not Emperor Duanhua or the crown prince, there will be Emperor Xianjia secretly mediating and containing, the empress dowager can be said to be restrained, Rao is like this, it also brings great pressure to the East Palace.

Now that there is no Xianjia Dila bias, if the Empress Dowager is determined to go against Emperor Duanhua, the consequences can be imagined!

"Therefore, this time I can only work Gu Xiang to go out in person!" Emperor Duanhua summoned Gu Shao as quickly as possible, "Gu Xiang also knows that the emperor's grandmother has had a gap with me because of her little aunt. Even though both sides have been mending their relationship for the past two years, they have never fully recovered! Now that my aunt and uncle are gone, Qiongzhou is thousands of miles away, and it is still across the sea, and I really can't prove that their death was not from my behe! ”

So at the moment, I can only choose to prove that Lu Chaoyu and his wife are afraid of sin. It's all over!

Emperor Duanhua knew that the matter was urgent - although he had ordered the news to be blocked, it was impossible to keep blocking it, and at that time, he would present ironclad evidence, and the Empress Dowager would also suspect that he was deliberately planting!

"Your Majesty, rest assured!" Gu Shao solemnly assured, "The minister will live up to His Majesty's trust!" ”

- Liaozhou couldn't get Zheng An to confide half a word, so he could only secretly escort him to the imperial capital and hand him over to Emperor Duanhua for disposal.

Zheng An arrived the day before yesterday, because Emperor Duanhua is now in Cuihua Mountain for summer vacation, and the request to dispose of his little aunt's family was met before Zheng An arrived, so Emperor Duanhua originally planned to let him recuperate first and then interrogate him in two days.

Of course, this is not to be considerate of Zheng An, this is because Zheng An has been tortured in Liaozhou, and after a long journey, even if his bones are hard, he will be dying—in case he dies, how can he continue to ask for a confession?

But now things have changed, but I can't take care of it!

There is no vanity under the fame, Gu Shao's talent is not boasted, if Liaozhou has not been able to ask by any means, it will be in his hands, but in two days, he already knows the ins and outs!

The result greatly surprised Emperor Duanhua!

"What did you say?!" Emperor Duanhua stood up in amazement, "The mastermind behind Zheng An...... Is it the county lord of Jingmin?! ”

"It is one of the righteous daughters of Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, the county lord of Jingmin, who married the Pei family of Hanlin last year." Gu Shao didn't have any expression on his face when he said this, he has always been very satisfied with Pei Yourui, his grandson's daughter-in-law, firstly, Pei Yourui's own talent and temperament are very in line with his requirements for his juniors; Second, Pei Yourui's Youzhou Pei family, although the ancestral prominence is not as good as the six valves in the sea, it does not allow the Hongzhou Gu family.

Although it is no longer the heyday of the Shi clan, a descendant like Gu Shao is still proud and proud of the family's longevity.

Therefore, he naturally recognized Pei Yourui, who was born like him.

But I didn't expect this granddaughter-in-law, who has always been gentle and generous, to do such a big thing quietly!

The two monarchs and ministers faced each other, and for a long time, Emperor Duanhua said incredulously: "How could it be her?!" ”

In fact, according to the degree of resentment, when Jian Yiyu's family had an accident, Pei Yourui's suspicion should not be lower than that of the third room of the Jian family.

After all, even if many people in the imperial capital don't know the specific situation of Pei He's death, just because Pei Yourui has changed from a quasi-daughter-in-law to a righteous daughter and has become a laughing stock in the imperial capital - she has a reason to hate Jian Yi to the bone marrow!

If it weren't for Pei He's love for his daughter, he wouldn't have to change to Song Yuan's father, and change to a slightly more indifferent one, so that Pei Yourui would have hung herself on the beam to avoid this cruel world!

The reason why even the Empress Dowager Su is worried about the eldest princess of Changxing, but no one has ever doubted Pei Yourui, except that Pei Yourui has always given people a gentle and reserved sense of beauty, which makes people feel that even if she still hates Jian Yiyu, it is impossible to kill her, mainly because Pei Yourui is just a woman, and she grew up in front of the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom.

Where did she come from this ability to send someone to chase her to Liaozhou to destroy the door?

Now facing Emperor Duanhua's question, Gu Shao smiled bitterly before explaining: "It is estimated that before Pei He died, he left manpower for the county lord of Jingmin?" The rich family who harbored Zheng An is said to be the secret son of Youzhou Pei's family in Liaozhou three generations ago - speaking of which, Youzhou and Liaozhou are both in the north, although the two places are not close at hand, but they also belong to the north. The Pei clan has been prosperous for hundreds of years, so how can it be possible to limit its power to Youzhou? ”

And if the family wants to expand, it is normal to go from near to far.

With the illustrious years of the Pei family, Liaozhou must have been their territory for a long time!

This is also the reason why Zheng An was not exposed until the rich man's wife misunderstood her husband: Zheng An has very obvious physical characteristics, if it weren't for the Pei family, a snake like the head of the land who has been accumulating for many years, how could it be possible to sweep away his whereabouts and cover everything?

"......" Emperor Duanhua took a sip of tea to calm down, and said, "Then Zheng An is also the Pei family?" ”

"Not really." Gu Shao sighed, "When the Ji family was exiled to Qiongzhou, because the situation was not as good as before, it was impossible to take away all the subordinate guards, and most of them needed to be dismissed, and Zheng An was among them. ”

Emperor Duanhua frowned when he heard this: This means that Zheng An actually has nothing to do with the Ji family? This is not good, his current purpose is not to avenge Jian Yiyu's family, but to solve the trouble for himself!

The emperor suppressed his anxiety and motioned for Gu Shao to continue his prayers.

"This person is a filial son, his mother was seriously ill in the middle of last year, he tried his best to invite the imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment, although he asked for a party to go to the lesion, the Chinese medicinal materials are precious, and he can't afford it at all!" When Gu Shao talked about this, Emperor Duanhua also roughly understood: Pei Yourui won Pei He's love, although her brother and sister-in-law seemed to be unvirtuous, but because of the support of her stepmother, the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, how could the Pei family dare to deduct her makeup?

Last year, when she came out of the cabinet, the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager Su, and Empress Wei, all the nobles in the imperial capital who needed to give face to the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, including Emperor Duanhua and Gu Shao in the palace at this moment, were all generous.

So the desperate medicine money for Zheng An is not worth mentioning at all for Pei Yourui!

Sure enough, Gu Shao sighed, "The county lord of Jingmin gave Zheng An eight thousand taels of silver, as well as a pair of white jade gold ginseng that ordinary people could not get, enough for Zheng An to cure his mother's illness, and he still has the money to arrange for his mother, wife and children to leave the imperial capital and go to Shu to settle down!" And he himself is ready to go back and go to Liaozhou to take revenge on Jian Yiyu's family for the county lord of Jingmin! ”

After a pause, he said, "According to Zheng An's confession, the county lord of Jingmin planned revenge when she learned that Jian Yiyou was going to return to her hometown due to the succession - for this reason, she even hoped to leave Mrs. Yanguo's half-sister, the county lord of Xinling, in the imperial capital and be taken care of by her. It's just that Mrs. Yanguo felt sorry for her sister, and she was considerate of the marrying of the county lord of Jingmin County at that time, so she didn't agree. But not long after Jian Yiyu arrived in Liaozhou, he fell out with the clansmen due to trivial matters, moved out of the clan, and lived alone in the city, which gave the county lord Jingmin a chance! ”

"......" Emperor Duanhua was silent with a calm face, and said after a while, "What is going on with that group of Liaozhou ruffians and Zhu Qigui?" Could it be that Jing Min's people are also people? ”
