Although He Ye had the intention of interrogating, he did not directly interrogate Shi Yan and Ju Shinan, and he has now handed over the power of governance to Eleven Niang, although this does not mean that the Son of Heaven has no right to intervene in political affairs, but if it is not something that must be decided, He Ye has no intention of intervening more, and he needs to make the Manchu Dynasty civil and military firmly believe, and it is impossible for the emperors and queens to trust each other, so for the crimes that have been concluded during the reign of Eleven Niang, He Ye does not need to review it again, he just needs to understand the details, because he understands the facts behind the announced case, Inevitably, there are secrets that ordinary people don't know, and there are doubts in his heart, if he doesn't explain, he feels ashamed of his brother.

When the occasional symptoms dissipated again in recent days, He Ye still insisted on not taking steps, and while walking towards Penglai Palace, he asked Jiang Yuan: "Shi Yan has been obeying your orders, when was he threatened by Sin Shushen, didn't you notice it at all?" I laid my eyes and ears in Ren Zhi's mansion, before this person spread rumors, the plan was to leak it, and Ju Shinan, how could he be caught for sea fishing? ”

Jiang Yuan's mood at this time has calmed down, although he is not afraid of death, and he originally had no intention of deceiving the Son of Heaven in order to survive, but he firmly remembered the queen's advice, in order to avoid the dilemma and self-blame of the Son of Heaven, he was even more worried that because of his life, the Son of Heaven complained that the queen had something to hide, he could not admit the guilt, nor could he apologize for the crime with death, so he responded according to the queen's prior instructions: "Don't dare to hide it from the saint, at the beginning of this case, even the old slave was implicated...... also blamed the old slave for being careless, and did not notice that Shi Yan had a grudge in his heart, just because he had a small dispute with Sui Fengwei, and after getting drunk, he actually boasted about his work with Cao An...... That's true...... It was because of the old slave's instructions that he offered the medicine of the heir! The queen was shocked and suspicious, and questioned the old slave, although the old slave flatly denied it, but in order to prove his innocence, he insisted on avoiding the case and never asked about the situation again. ”

He Ye paused: "You really don't know anything about this matter?" ”

Jiang Yu stiffened his head and said angrily: "Although the old slave is loyal to the Empress Yilie, when the Empress Yilie was killed, she just instructed the old slave to protect the Holy Saint and not to be murdered by the Empress Dowager Wei. ”

He Ye really didn't want to doubt Jiang Yuan, because if this matter was really caused by Jiang Yuan, although it was not from his instructions, but the purpose was to let him seize the throne, but he was protected by his brother for many years, so that he could live peacefully to adulthood......

First, he could not be exempt from self-blame, and Jiang Yuan's kindness to him also made him unbearable to order.

It was precisely because of the faint fear in his heart that although it had been a month since the poison was pulled, it was worth this time, and after treating Concubine De and the Xie family, he finally decided to ask about this important case.

"Awn." He Ye retracted his cold gaze and walked forward again: "Ah Weng's kindness to me is no less than that of my brother, I really don't want Ah Weng to assassinate my brother in order to get the throne, if Ah Weng really behaves like this, He Ye will not be able to escape the blame, and he will definitely be in a dilemma, but about this case, I must find out that He Ye asked Ah Weng for the last time, whether he really knew nothing." ”

Jiang Yuan's heart was like a wave surging, almost collapsing, he trembled his knees and knelt down, prostrate and bowed deeply: "Holy Lord, the old slave dared to swear with his life, and he did not act to assassinate the evil of the ancestor of Renzong. ”

That's it, all the guilt and remorse should be borne by him alone, he can't watch him make his own decisions on the spur of the moment, so that the rest of the Son of Heaven will be deeply uneasy and guilty, even if the next life is reduced to the way of animals, and no longer be a human, he has no regrets, only hopes to be able to lie to the Son of Heaven to be relieved.

He Ye helped Jiang Yu up, and didn't say anything he believed, but he didn't ask anymore.

Eleven Niang had already expected that the explanation to the public would not be able to dispel He Ye's doubts, such as Ju Shinan, how could He Ye not know that she had always known her whereabouts, and there was no need to catch her by sea fishing, she had already prepared another set of rhetoric and waited for He Ye's inquiry.

So on this day, when she learned that the Son of Heaven would come to have dinner with her in the Zichen Palace, she had already made some preparations.

Prior to this, Eleven Niang summoned Xu Shu, the female Shi in Qin Ji Palace, because of He Ye's special advice.

For this palace person when he is in danger, he can still maintain a posture of neither humility nor arrogance, Shi Niang has a lot of appreciation, just routine interrogation, and then announced the decision: "I believe in the words of Xu Nushi, and I have not been involved in/poisoned the case of Concubine Shu, I have already heard that you have repeatedly persuaded the Qin family to stop their evil deeds, so that they are dissatisfied, and they are also treacherous and divisive, and they are gradually suppressed and prevented, before the Qin family committed this major crime, it is impossible to disclose it to let you know, you are innocent, naturally not punished, and this palace is also willing to make special exceptions, although you are not old enough to resign, If you want to return home and reunite with your relatives, you can be sent in advance, if you have no family to rely on, you are willing to serve for life, as a commendation, you can be promoted to the Shangyi Bureau classics. ”

Xu Shu originally thought that this time it was difficult to escape again, and he would be punished by Concubine De, but Leng Buding heard such good news, shocked on the spot, couldn't believe it, and was stunned for a long time, but under the prompt of Roujie, he came back to his senses and bowed to thank him, expressed his wishes, and was willing to resign and reunite with his family. Sure enough, Xu Shu couldn't help crying with joy, and thanked the queen for her kindness again and again.

"You don't have to thank me, the Holy God specially confessed, and handed you over to me to dispose of it, so there is no intention of punishing you, if you want to thank you, you should thank the Holy God for being discerning and not indulging."

When Roujie led Xu Shu to retire, she couldn't help laughing: Her Royal Highness the Queen really remembers the Son of Heaven everywhere and all the time, and even the gratitude of a palace person is unwilling to share it exclusively, as if she is afraid that the Son of Heaven has done a good deed, but she is not appreciated.

Eleven Niang was not excited at all, because she understood that there was a difficult time to overcome tonight, but in fact, she was not completely sure that she would be able to clear Jiang Yuan's suspicions.

If He Ye wasn't so discerning, she would really be relieved.

After thinking about it for a while, Eleven Niang still prepared wine this night, but it was not for the Son of Heaven - although He Ye saw that he had recovered, many medical officers emphasized that it was best not to drink alcohol within a year.

However, He Ye wanted to inquire about the murder of Emperor Renzong, and his mood must be sad, so he chose the location in the Zichen Palace, afraid that before making a decision, he needed to sacrifice Renzong with wine.

Eleven Niang looked at the dormitory where Renzong lived before his death, until this time, although He Ye had long since restored the original furnishings, he had not moved in, he was using this way to remember his brother.

"He Yan, if you have a spirit in the sky, you should know that the Holy One has no intention of harming you with respect and love, he is not ashamed of you, and he should not bear self-blame, if you really regard the Holy One as a brother, you should bless me, and this time you can deceive the past."

When he turned around, he saw He Ye coming from afar.

This dinner was a little dull, although the wine was prepared, but even Eleven Niang didn't touch the pot, let alone the silk and bamboo singing and dancing to help the fun, when He Ye put down the toothbrush, Eleven Niang also ended the meal with interest, signaling to remove the dishes, only holding the pot empty.

"Yi Yi already expected why I came to the Zichen Hall tonight?" He Ye asked with a smile, he didn't want Eleven Niang to feel pressure.

"Yes." Eleven Niang sighed: "The Holy Lord has disposed of Concubine De, and it is time to inquire about the murder of Emperor Renzong." ”

"Brother can't be regarded as a Ming Jun." He Ye looked at the dormitory not far away, and his expression was inevitably a little melancholy: "Sometimes I think that if I hadn't been too young at the beginning, maybe I could have won the throne, then my brother would have been liberated, and he would not have experienced so much suffering in his life, and he would not have been killed because of Empress Dowager Wei, because the official system has corrupted the people since Yingzong, and the people have not been able to make a living, and they bear the responsibility for their crimes." ”

Eleven Niang can understand He Ye's mood, because in his opinion, He Yan is a benevolent brother, in fact, He Yan is indeed indisputable, although he is cowardly, but kind-hearted, if He Yan is not on the throne, just a prince far away from power, he will not bring any disaster to the country and his subjects, but he is the emperor, kindness alone is not enough, cowardice is even more fatal.

Eleven Niang didn't sympathize with He Yan, she just understood He Ye, everyone in the world was qualified to reprimand He Yan, but only He Ye couldn't.

Not because He Yan was once an emperor, but because as an elder brother, he has always given He Ye affection.

"The incident happened at the behest of the Queen Mother, and she planned to spread rumors." Shi Niang didn't wait to ask, and took the initiative to state: "I noticed it immediately, but I was shocked that Ah Weng was involved, and Ah Weng denied it, and I firmly believe that the saint will never harm Renzong, and once suspected that it was too treacherous, and the intention was to slander the saint, as a threat, to force me to pardon Xie Raoping and Wei Yuanping, but Ah Weng said that Shi Yan did obey him, and I interrogated Shi Yan, and I found out...... He really told Cao An in person that it was because of Ah Weng's instructions that he offered the poison of the heir. ”

These are all facts, and Shi Niang's narration was exceptionally smooth, but she didn't show the slightest weakness in the next apocryphal.

"However, Shi Yan also admitted that when he offered medicine, he was not actually given to Ah Weng, but the reason why he lied to Cao An was because he was not angry that Sui Fengqi was still suppressed, and when he was drunk, he boasted of his meritorious service from the dragon, but Cao An obviously did not believe it, in order to be more convincing, Shi Yancai lied that he was instructed by Ah Weng."

This is also reasonable, He Shen has been executed as a great rebel, wouldn't it be ridiculous for Shi Yanruo to boast as a party attached to the criminal? Not only does it have no effect, maybe he will be invited by Cao An, only "Zhang Guan Li Dai" makes Jiang Yu the instigator, and implies that this is the order of the Son of Heaven, so Cao An does not dare to leak it. Even if he is drunk, Shi Yan will not lose this basic logic.

But what he didn't expect was that these words were eavesdropped on the screen by Ren Zhizhi, and Cao An was lured to leak them with wealth.

"I wasn't sure at that time whether Shi Yan was shielding Ah Weng, but I thought that the top priority was how to thwart the conspiracy of the Queen Mother, prevent the saint from being slandered, and decide that the guilty Shushen must bear the charge, but the guilty Shushen has been executed, and he is afraid that he will not be able to convince the public without proof, and after discussing with the fourteenth brother for several days, there is no foolproof way." Eleven Niang was not in a hurry to excuse Jiang Yuan.

Because Shi Yan's confession alone does not exempt Jiang Yu from suspicion, it is more reasonable for her to say this.

He Ye frowned slightly: "Then Ju Shinan, what's going on, could it be that Yi Yi knew that Ju Shinan had committed the crime of killing the king?" ”
