The queen mother's trust in He Zhan at this time is limited to this son being raised by Yingyang Zhenren, and she will be of great use to the coming court hearing system, about many planning schemes, of course, it is impossible to tell He Zhan, she chose to interrogate He Zhan in person at this time, just because she attaches great importance to how the Xue family should be treated.

It is not easy to uproot the prestige, and it was also a great risk to deal with the Empress Dowager of Pei Zheng and the two clans, at this time, the saint's faith in Xue Qian was certainly inferior to Pei for many years, but the Son of Heaven had become disgusted with Xie Raoping and Mao Wei and wanted to get rid of it quickly, Feng Bozhang was not from a prestigious background, and it was not enough to worry, but the treatment of the Xue family had to be cautious, and the Queen Mother was worried that the repetition would cause a fierce confrontation between the Son of Heaven, after all, it was her own son, and she could not meet each other unless she had to, otherwise she would not have endured it for many years.

Even though he had some scruples, Xue Qian's behavior four years ago still caused the Queen Mother to almost make up her mind to eradicate the Xue family, but at this moment, Xue Qian suddenly made a plan and revealed that his nephew Xue Luli had a "counterplot" heart, what is the intention? is nothing more than wanting to kill people with a knife, so it seems that Xue Qian is bound to be unable to be the so-called "loyal", if it is found that Xue Qian intends to frame Xue Luli......

As long as the Xue family has no ill will towards her, the queen mother, there is no need to eradicate it, a family with constant infighting and even to the point of life and death, there is no need to worry at all, for the sake of the two words of profit, how can it be possible to risk the death of the clan to overturn the case for the Pei Zheng clan that has been destroyed?

The reason why Eleven Niang set up this plan is obviously to understand the queen mother's thoughts.

The key player is He Zhan.

And at this time, he ignored the Queen Mother's sharp gaze, and hesitated as if no one was around.

The Queen Mother didn't force He Zhan to answer immediately this time, but she was not without doubts in her heart: What is this kid hesitating about?

He Zhan suddenly knelt down and bowed deeply: "The Queen Mother forgives Weichen for saying bluntly, the Queen Mother suddenly inquired about the cause of Pei Banniang's death today, but she suspects that someone has bad intentions and intends to turn over Pei Zheng's case!" ”

The sudden rhetorical question was simply shocking, the Queen Mother only felt that there was a storm in her heart, she didn't know how to react for a while, took a few deep breaths, and then slightly relaxed her clenched fists and snorted softly: "In your opinion, turning over Pei Zheng's reverse case is ill-intentioned?" ”

"Pei Zheng conspired against the judgment of the saint, and it has long been concluded, and of course it is ill-intentioned to turn over for no reason." He Zhan was categorical.

"Why, with the old friendship between Shishilang and Empress Pei, I also believe that Pei Zheng is plotting rebellion?"

"Weichen firmly believes in the determination of the saint, and also firmly believes that Empress Pei will never have the heart of great rebellion." He Zhan said: "Empress Pei is Empress Pei, both a maiden and the mother of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and she is bound to be loyal to the monarchy, but it is not enough to prove that the Pei and Zheng clans have no intention of rebellion, and Pan Bo is rebellious, this is ironclad evidence!" ”

"Why, then, do you judge that I suspect someone with bad intentions?"

"This is not from Wei Chen's judgment, but Xue Xuan's doubts."

"Xue Luli!" The Queen Mother's fists clenched again: "How do you say this?" ”

"The Queen Mother Rongchen was meticulous, when Liu Saburo discussed with Weichen and secretly investigated the truth about Pei Banniang's murder, Weichen was not good at speaking directly to Sanlang, but he had already judged in his heart...... The death of Pei's Banniang is nothing more than the Xue family's attempt to protect themselves and show sincerity to the saint, but it is obviously the heart of the villain, although the saint condemned Pei Zheng to the crime of great rebellion, but he has no suspicion about Pei Hou, and obviously does not want to pursue the daughter, let alone the Xue family? Because of this, Wei Chen was disdainful of Xue Xuanzhi's behavior of killing his wife to protect himself, but after some secret inspection, he really found something strange. ”

Although He Zhan hesitated at first, he made up his mind to say these words, and he was very smooth, and he didn't think about it anymore, looking at the Queen Mother's expression, and sat down and talked eloquently: "First, Pei Banniang had a difficult birth back then, and Xuanzhi hadn't had time to return to Kyoto, so how could he kill Pei Banniang with his own hands?" Moreover, when Xuanzhi returned to Beijing, he learned that his wife died in childbirth and fell ill, and she was bedridden for many years and is still weak even today, which is not a disguise. ”

The Queen Mother originally didn't believe that Pei Banniang would die in such a timely manner, and believed that it was the Xue family who did it, in order to draw a clear line with Pei Zheng, but she didn't care who the person who did it was the Xue family, but after hearing this, she thought that He Zhan's suspicion was reasonable: "Your suspicion is also based on Pei Banniang's victimization, but if Xue Luli's secret raising of the outer room and concubine is known by Pei Banniang, and it can't withstand the blow to cause dystocia, Xue Luli is seriously ill because of remorse, and it can be explained." ”

"As the Queen Mother said, although Weichen does not believe that Pei Banniang's death is not man-made, but when he thinks of these two strange things, it is also true that he has a son, and he was indeed shaken at that time, but if he didn't find out what happened, it was not easy to explain to Liu Sanlang, after all, marriage is a lifelong event, San Lang Lu Pu, if he is not sure that the Xue family did not kill his cousin, he will definitely not want to marry Xue Shi Niang." He Zhan said: "It's only been many years, and the Xue family is obscure, and Weichen has no ability to find out, so he thought of a simple way to save effort, and learned that although the rumors are disturbing, Xue Saburo and Xuanzhi have no barrier, so I plan to ask the two of them directly about the situation at that time." ”

"Wechen first looked for Xue Xuanzhi, and he put his heart into his heart, and asked if the cause of the incident could be framed by Xue Xiang, whether the rumors were true, and then Xuanzhi denied that Banniang was harmed by his father, only saying that it was indeed because of fear that caused dystocia, of course Wechen didn't believe it, and broke up unhappily, and then asked Xue Sanlang, accusing Xuanzhi of treachery and shamelessness in front of him, Saburo was anxious, and couldn't help but defend Xuanzhi, so he told Weichen the facts of the year."

The Queen Mother couldn't help but ask: "What is it?" ”

According to San Lang, Xuanzhi's concubine was originally a person from Fushun, and she was also quite talented for the small family Jasper, but because of Anton's fall to Northern Liao, she fled to Yingzhou with her parents and family, and did not want to meet robbers on the way, and she escaped alone, and was lonely and helpless in Yingzhou. Banniang also allowed the woman to be the concubine of the gorgeous. ”

Regarding Xue Zhao, because he was born before Pei Zheng was killed, the Queen Mother did not doubt his identity at all, nor did she have the leisure to investigate a child's life experience, and when she heard He Zhan's detailed explanation, she did not doubt it.

Because of Empress Pei, the Queen Mother also paid attention to her sister Pei Banniang, knowing that she was a generous and gentle lady, not a jealous person, and it was normal for a noble man in the Great Zhou Dynasty to take a concubine.

But......

The Queen Mother frowned slightly: "If Banniang had known about the existence of such a woman, then how could she be so angry about this incident before she gave birth that she had a difficult birth?" ”

"Exactly, Xuanzhi married Pei Banniang back then, and it was natural to accept this woman as a concubine, but Xue Xiang suddenly objected, calling that woman's life hard and an ominous person."

"My nephew wants to take a concubine, but Xue Qian's father is against it?" The Queen Mother was surprised.

He Zhan smiled coldly: "Weichen also felt strange at the time, under the questioning, Xue Sanlang had to tell the truth, it turned out that Xuanzhi's great-grandfather left a last word before he died, telling Xue Gong to cultivate Xuanzhi with his heart, because Mingxian Gong cherished Xuan's talent, and wanted to break the precedent and transfer the power of the clan to Xuanzhi's inheritance, Xue Xiang, as the eldest son of Xue Gongyan, was dissatisfied with this, so he was embarrassed. ”

This is in line with the rumors of recent years.

He Zhan continued: "At that time, Xue Gong was bent on practicing and didn't want to meddle in things, Xue Xiang, as the elder, insisted on driving the woman out of the house, the woman was already pregnant at the time, of course Xuanzhi refused to ignore it, but he couldn't disobey Xue Xiang, he went out in the name of studying abroad, one was to take care of the woman, and the other was to avoid the contradiction with Xue Xiang, he also wanted to take Pei Banniang with him, but Banniang was virtuous, saying that there was a big father and aunt to serve, and those who were sons and daughters-in-law should not stay away, so they didn't need to worry about comforting Xuanzhi, and stayed for a long time. Xue Xiang is no longer stubborn, and there is still room for change in this matter. ”

Xue Lu left home soon after he got married, and even if the Queen Mother verified it, it was consistent with what He Zhan said.

"When Xuanzhi left home, he didn't know that Pei Banniang was pregnant, and he didn't communicate with his family, until he heard about Pei Zheng's case, he rushed back to Beijing, but when he returned home, Pei Banniang had died of dystocia, Xuanzhi inevitably regretted and fell seriously ill, but he was sick, but Xue Xiang spread rumors to show sincerity to the heavenly family, so that Xuanzhi was treacherous and even killed his wife to protect himself, one is to protect the Xue family from Pei Zheng, and the other is to completely destroy Xuanzhi's reputation."

"So, Pei Banniang really had an accidental dystocia?" The Queen Mother grasped the key.

He Zhan said with a smile: "These words Weichen also listened to Xue Sanlang's complaints, and there is no way to verify them, so Weichen thinks about it, even if Xue Sanlang can't bear to see Xuanzhi being slandered because he has been close to Xuanzhi since he was a child, it is impossible to testify that his biological father poisoned and killed his nephew and daughter-in-law, but for Xuanzhi's rehabilitation, it will still be somewhat unfavorable to Xue Xiang, it is unlikely that Xue Sanlang lied, and what he said should be credible." ”

"Then Xue Luli's concubine, where is she now?"

Xue Xiang didn't allow the woman to enter the door at all, and took advantage of Xuan's serious illness to drive people away, and the woman was desperate, and she was already ...... The cantilever committed suicide. ”

is a woman who is nothing, of course, it is more secure to die without proof.

"The cause of his wife's death is unknown, his concubine is also forced to die, and he is still burdened with stigma, even though he is open-minded, but Xue Xiang's selfish desires are pressing here step by step, of course, he is not willing to let the bullying be, yes, when he will recover from his illness, Xuanzhi will begin to make friends with the right to hope, which is to prepare for entering the government in the future." He Zhan said: "Xue Shi Niang's father and ancestor have always supported Xuan Zhi from the last words of Ming Xiangong, and it is impossible to be in the same stream as Xue, Liu Saburo was willing to obey his father's order to marry Shi Niang after learning about the cause and effect, of course, he also disliked Xuan before. ”

The old things are explained, of course, the Queen Mother is not fully convinced, but for the time being, she can't find any suspicious flaws, and she is already convinced that Xue Qian wants to use Pei Zheng's old case to completely cut off Xue Lu's career, with this preconceived idea, it is obviously easier to accept He Zhan's statement, and then asked: "So, what is the basis for your earlier claim that Xue Xuanzhi's suspicion that someone wants to use Pei Zheng's case to plot misdeeds?" ”

He Zhan heard that the Queen Mother did not call Lu Li's name directly at this time, but changed her name to the table, of course she understood that Shi Niang's fabrication had already played a role, her heart was slightly relieved, but the look on her face was even more solemn.
