Chapter 1358: The Second Coming Choice
Shi Yan's father, Wu Gu, was beheaded by order of Dezong.
The reason is that Empress Cui died of illness, Dezong was grief-stricken, Wu Gu was appointed to the Pharmacy at that time, Dezong was angry at his dereliction of duty, and Wu Gu was sentenced to death without asking, and even ordered to behead Wu Gumanmen.
At that time, not only Wu Dan's grandfather Pei Xiang, but even Cui Zheng, the Duke of Xu Guo, could not persuade Dezong, Cui Zheng because he couldn't bear it, quietly rescued Wu Gu's young son, and handed it over to his younger brother Cui Mu to find a proper door for this young son to raise on his behalf.
The reason why Cui Zheng asked Cui Mu was because of prudence, at that time, Cui Mu was unknown in the court because his daughter had not yet entered the palace, and he acted by him, which was more conducive to hiding people's eyes and ears.
Cui Mu wanted to save trouble, and simply handed over the young son to Wu Gu's protΓ©gΓ© to raise, so the child later changed his surname to Shi, which was Shi Yan.
After entering the palace after Xiao Cui, he thought that Shi Yan could be used, so after being enveloped, he secretly recommended Shi Yan to join the Shang Pharmacy.
Shi Yan was grateful to Cui Mu for saving his life, and naturally obeyed Xiao Cuihou's words, but in order to repay the grace of saving his life, he hibernated in the Shang Pharmacy for many years, and the older he gets, the righteousness of his youth gradually wears off, and he is gradually dissatisfied with Seeing He Ye ascend the throne, he did not promote him to the position of Fengyu Chief, and still had to endure Sui Feng's suppression.
So much so that the trouble is endless, and it is almost impossible to end.
Jiang Yu asked the reason for the situation, but he was also extremely annoyed: "You are dissatisfied in your heart, why don't you tell me directly?" You really trust Sui Fengwei when you are a saint, it is nothing more than because the Queen Mother is still in Chang'an Palace, what kind of headache and brain fever, Sui Fengwei can come forward to deal with it, saving the innocent! Don't you think about it, just after the Holy One ascended the throne, he promoted you to the throne, wouldn't it show that you are the eyes and ears of the Holy One? Can the Queen Mother let you go? Just make an excuse and you will be caught in dereliction of duty! β
Shi Yan also regretted it at this time, and his face was discouraged: "I really blame me for being obsessed...... Anyway, the lower officials themselves caused trouble, and may even implicate the saints, and they have no shame to face Cui Gong and Queen Yilie, and they are to blame, and they can't complain about others, Ah Weng can rest assured, the lower officials will never implicate Ah Weng, but ...... The wife of the family is small, and I hope that Ah Weng can be saved, but they are not involved in these crimes, and in the future, they only hope to be able to live in a house, a few acres of thin fields, so that they will not be without food and clothing. β
Although Jiang Yu complained that Shi Yan acted carelessly, seeing him in such a situation, and knowing that Shi Yan's life was difficult to protect, he was not too likely to blame, so he had to tell the queen what Shi Yan said, and then pleaded: "Shi Yan's adoptive father and adoptive mother have passed away, and he is nearly forty years old before he had a son, and now he is less than ten years old, and his old wife is just from an ordinary background, and she is still weak and sick...... The old slave knelt down and begged the queen to be considerate, sheltered Shi Yan's wife and children, as long as the orphans and widows could escape their lives and make a living in the future, the old slave would tell his nephew to take care of it. β
Shi Yan committed the great crime of murdering the monarch, and the punishment should be punished by the clan, even if his adoptive father and adoptive mother have passed away, if the court wants to deal with it strictly, the people surnamed Shi should also sit together, even if Zhou Wenzong had restricted the torture of the clan, he could pardon his relatives, but Shi Yan's wife and children must sit together, and if he wants to rescue Shi Yan's family, it is impossible to cite the law's righteous and bright pardon, and he can only transfer it secretly.
So it didn't take long for Shi Yan's son to "die" and lose treatment, and his old wife was overwhelmed by grief and "died".
When Empress Dowager Wei heard the news, she was very suspicious in her heart, worried about whether the queen had already noticed? But she has already been deployed, and she is waiting for the rumors to spread so that she can take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble, and at this critical moment, it is impossible to find out whether Shi Yan's wife and child are really dead or fake, because if it is just a coincidence, it may startle the snake.
Moreover, she was defeated and retreated, losing most of her manpower, and she was indeed a little powerless at this time, so she had to let go of the details, explain the reason, and pay close attention to the situation.
And Shi Yan was resettled because of his wife and children, and he was no longer afraid of crime, and originally wanted to apologize with death, but was stopped by Jiang Yuan again: "You apologize with death, but it's a hundred, but how could Empress Dowager Wei miss this opportunity?" must question the queen's murder and silence, even if it affects the saints, and because of the sins of you and me, her reputation will be greatly damaged! Now in various places, there were originally so many nobles dissatisfied with the tax reform, taking this opportunity, there will be a banner rebellion, when the world is in chaos, wars are everywhere, don't say that you, is an old slave, but also ten thousand deaths are difficult to atone for sins, so far, you can no longer act rashly, or wait for the queen how to decide, and then act according to her words. β
Shi Niang plans to strike first and arrest Shi Yan before the rumors spread, but the difficulty is that she cannot be presided over by her close ministers, especially He Zhan, who was pardoned just now, and now she must be even more cautious, if the case is questioned again, it will only make the situation worse.
But whether it is Feng Jizheng, Tao Baoyi and other orthodox, as long as they are involved in this case, how can they believe that Shi Yan is just because he is drunk and liarious, and dare to slander today? Such a conclusion is not convincing at all, and can only leave more truth.
The Shi Yan case must give the world a verdict that is sufficient to settle the controversy.
He Ye's reputation cannot be damaged, so Jiang Yu must be "innocent", who is behind the scenes to convince the world?
Fortunately, Xiao Cuihou promoted Shi Yan's appointment back then, and his actions were indeed confidential, and after many years, Cui Mu and other people involved have passed away, and there is no evidence at all, Shi Yan's revelation will not directly point to Xiao Cuihou, that is to say, as long as this person who carries the black pot can convince the court, it will be enough to thwart Empress Dowager Wei's plan, He Ye will not be implicated, and peace will be restored to the world.
Eleven Niang couldn't make up her mind for a long time, but He Zhan proposed a candidate: "This person is none other than He Shen." β
After Renzong, the biggest beneficiary is He Shen, because if He Yan has an heir, where will the throne be the turn of He Shen's son He Er? Not to mention that He Shen's rebellion has been confirmed by Wei Haichi, it is logical to say that He Shen has hidden evil intentions.
But there are still flaws.
"There is no proof of death, and rumors cannot be banned in the end." Eleven Niang said worriedly.
"Fifth sister forgot, there are still people alive." He Zhan spit out three words: "Ju Shinan." β
"He Yan's death, although it was caused by Ju Shinan, he was indeed instructed by He Shen, but ......" Shi Niang hesitated: "Ju Shinan has made a lot of contributions to the alliance with Tubo, but this work is secret, if his crime is exposed, how can Ju Shinan have any life?" β
After negotiating peace with Tubo, Ju Shinan "retired after success", the Tubo royal family did not know the true origin of the "strange man" who was once deeply respected by them, and it was impossible for the Great Zhou to announce Ju Shinan's merits, otherwise it would be passed to Tubo, and the plan of discord would be revealed, how could Tubo Zampu tolerate being fooled by the royal family of the Great Zhou? When the time comes, the peace treaty will be torn up, and the two countries will be at war again.
It is impossible to put such a credit on the table, if the crime of Ju Shinan killing the monarch is exposed, how can he live?
Eleven Niang had already broken off her love for He Yanen, and she would not hate Ju Shinan because of He Yan's death, so although she had already found out about this matter, she had been hiding it from He Ye, because she was worried that after He Ye knew about it, she would order the execution mercilessly regardless of Ju Shinan's merit to Sheji.
"Fifth sister, the current situation, there is no room for hesitation, before I proposed, I have already interviewed Ju Shinan, he has been guilty of sin, caused disputes, and it is still difficult to let go, he is willing to bear the responsibility, there is only one condition!" He Zhan said: "It is for King Huai'en and 100,000 righteous people to rehabilitate Zhaoxue." β
