Chapter 291: Great Kindness
The Queen Mother looked back and looked deeply at her son.
"Ten years ago, this case was personally ordered by your father to put the Qingzhou Taishou Xu Yongping family in prison, and finally beheaded all over the house, you said that at this moment, how do people in the world think of your father?"
The emperor was stunned for a moment, obviously not thinking so deeply, and said: "Does the queen mother think that this matter has something to do with the imperial sister?"
Just now, when the queen mother said that she was summoning the eldest princess into the palace, the expression of gritting her teeth had been deeply imprinted in his heart.
The Queen Mother smiled bitterly.
"Today, those people in the court mentioned and reaffirmed this case, I think it must be your imperial sister's meaning. ”
"Maybe the imperial sister didn't think about it so thoughtfully, and the queen mother also listened to what the imperial sister said? Don't worry. ”
If there is really a grievance, not to mention that it has been twenty or Chinese New Year's Eve years after an interval of ten years, it should also be a grievance, but when it comes to the reputation of the first emperor, this matter does not seem to be very easy to handle?
"Okay, you go back and study with Ning Xiang first. ”
Leaving such a sentence, the Queen Mother turned around and left, but the pace was not as sharp as before.
The Emperor watched his back farther and farther away with concern.
Han Rui was sitting and drinking tea in Qionghua Garden, dressed neatly, once someone asked for a retrial of the case, the Queen Mother would definitely think that she had instructed her, and the person who wanted to summon her into the palace was already on her way.
Rouge brought a bowl of bird's nest porridge.
"It's still early, the eldest princess let's eat something. ”
Han Rui picked up the bowl of warm bird's nest porridge and tasted it, her mouth was not hot, and she quickly finished it.
As soon as she put down the bowl, a servant girl came to report it.
"Eldest princess, someone has come to the palace. ”
Han Rui stood up neatly, and Rouge put on a cloak for her.
Qiu Ye was still waiting at the door of Qionghua Garden, and when he saw the eldest princess walking out, he hurriedly saluted: "I have seen Her Royal Highness the eldest princess." ”
"Did the queen mother announce that I was summoned to the palace?"
"Yes. ”
"Let's go. ”
After saying that, Han Rui walked in front, and Qiu Ye, who was two steps behind her, looked at the dress of the eldest princess, and her heart sank violently.
Looking at things in the court today, is it really related to the eldest princess?
Without saying anything all the way, after entering the harem, Han Rui went straight to Zhaoyang Palace.
Before entering the door, I already felt that the atmosphere was wrong, and all the palace people were lined up under the eaves.
Autumn leaves hurriedly opened the curtain and went in, and the carpet in the room was full of broken porcelain tiles.
The Queen Mother leaned on the couch, her face was ashen and her face was full of anger.
Han Rui followed closely behind, avoiding those broken porcelain pieces and coming in.
"The Queen Mother. ”
She shouted tentatively.
The statue-like Queen Mother seemed to be awakened, and turned her head blankly, "You are here, sit down." ”
Her expression was surprisingly calm, as if a sign of an impending downpour.
"Why does the queen mother lose her temper so much?"
All the porcelain ornaments in the room were thrown on the floor, and many of them were things she liked very much.
"The mourning family has always thought that you are a sensible child, but what does this appearance in the court today mean?
"The queen mother's retrial of the old case is in accordance with the will of heaven, there is nothing wrong with the father, although this case is the Xu family that the father ordered to be beheaded all over the house, but the father was deceived by the courtiers, and now is a good opportunity, if it is not retried at this time, if someone has ulterior motives to spread rumors, wouldn't it be even more damaging to the father's reputation?"
The legend of her bitter heart.
"Erchen knows that the queen mother is worried about the Jiang family, but if the queen mother is really for the good of the Jiang family, she should also know that victory will fail, today's Jiang family, cooking oil with fire, flowers and brocade, it is also excellent to avoid some mistakes at this moment, besides, Cousin Can can support the entire Jiang family, and the queen mother does not need to worry. ”
"The mourning family didn't know that they had raised such an insightful daughter, in this case, tomorrow in the court, you go to the mourning family. ”
Han Rui immediately knelt down in fright.
"The queen mother forgives her sins, the son is indeed for the sake of the Zhao dynasty, and she also asks the queen mother to check it, rather than letting others investigate, it is better to hold it in her own hands. ”
The Queen Mother glanced at her deeply, and waved her hand weakly: "You can retreat first."
Judging from the attitude of the Queen Mother just now, Han Rui felt that she seemed to be half the battle.
However, just this half is already very difficult, if you need the support of the Queen Mother, at least you have to give her enough time to think about it.
If you push it too hard, it will backfire.
"Yes, please take care of the queen mother, and the son will retire first. ”
As soon as the eldest princess left, Akiba hurriedly motioned for the palace people to come in and clean up.
"Is it wrong to mourn the family?"
The old voice of the Queen Mother echoed in the empty hall.
"Queen Mother, you should pay attention to your body now. ”
"You heard the words of the eldest princess, what do you think?"
"Where are the major national events to allow slaves and slaves to put their beaks, but the words of the eldest princess actually make some sense, the queen mother and the eldest princess are both for the sake of Dazhao and the emperor. ”
"Zhao Zhou, the secretary of the Ministry of Punishment. ”
"Yes. ”
In the Ningde Palace, Zhao Zhou was uneasy, he had not found out a little bit about the death of the King of Han until now, and as a result, the Princess of Han also died in his own hands, during this time he was really trembling, every day you look forward to the Queen Mother, don't think of yourself, but you must come, thinking of the instructions of the Lord of Shouguang County, he puffed up his chest again, for the sake of his children and grandchildren, even if the Queen Mother wants to take away his official position today, he has to finish those few words.
Autumn leaves helped the Queen Mother in.
"The old minister sees the Queen Mother. ”
"Ten years ago, who did the emperor send to investigate the case of Xu Yongping, the Taishou of Qingzhou?"
Zhao Zhou felt the heavy burden on his body, and suddenly disappeared without a trace, and the Queen Mother actually asked about Xu Yongping's case.
"Returning to the Queen Mother, the old minister remembers this case very clearly, it was Cheng Yushi who went to investigate, but Cheng Yushi was killed by bandits on the way back to Beijing, and there was only one ** under his knees. ”
"Is there anyone else in the Cheng family?"
"Cheng Yushi also has a brother, who is now in Weicheng. ”
"Xu Yongping's case is a case of mourning and ordering you to preside over the trial, and you must not bend the law for personal gain. ”
Happiness came too suddenly, and she hasn't opened her mouth yet, how did the Queen Mother figure it out again?
He was so excited that he hurriedly knelt down, "The old minister has the order." ”
If this matter is done well, the trouble brought to him by King Han's affairs may disappear without a trace.
He was suddenly ambitious.
Here, Zhao Zhou received the Empress Dowager's decree to retry Xu Yongping's case In the eldest princess's mansion, Han Rui was playing chess with Peony.
Aoyama's ghostly appearance.
"Just now, Lord Zhao took the queen mother's decree and retried the case. ”
Han Rui and Peony glanced at each other, and she put down the chess pieces in her hand.
"Great, go and call the pothos girl out immediately. ”
The pothos was dressed in plain clothes and came quickly.
"Luluo, the Queen Mother has just asked the Criminal Department Shangshu to take charge of the Xu family's case, and the palace asked Qingshan to accompany you on a trip to send the evidence you investigated before, as well as the previous account books, all of which were sent to Lord Zhao. ”
The green pothos' excited lips trembled a few times, two lines of tears rolled down, and her lips moved a few times, but she didn't say a word for a long time.
Peony got up and hugged her, patting her weak back gently, "What the eldest princess promised has finally been done for you, you can send everything over now!"
"Yes. ”
She took a few steps forward and knelt respectfully in front of Han Rui, "My subordinates thank the eldest princess for her great kindness on behalf of my father and everyone in the Xu family." ”
"Go ahead. ”
