Emperor Duanhua never thought things would turn out like this, although he said that this little aunt due to the reason that she is the first daughter of the first, marriage and smooth, so basically never suffered in this life but, before the Emperor Xianjia hammered, she is also enough to gray for a period of time to strike?
If not for her extra horse harnessed by the side of a team, Fuyang Bo proposed to take the title of his own family for his wife to offset the crime, the Emperor of Xianjia even want to depreciate her position as Princess!
Later on, the whole family was exiled to Qiongzhou, compared to Lu Chaoyu’s previous life, this is a tragic enough ending, okay?
And I don’t see her thinking about it.
Why do you want to die now?
Of course Emperor Duanhua had been looking forward to this aunt’s death for a long time, so after receiving this news, he was surprised and felt relieved.
The next step was naturally to consider how to explain to the Dowager Empress as well as the Grand Princess of Jin.
Before the emperor grasped the point that Zheng An was Lu Chaoyu’s wedding guard, in the absence of a thorough interrogation of Zheng An’s purpose of going to Liaozhou and the mastermind, he politely forced the Empress Dowager and the Grand Princess of the Kingdom of Jin to agree with him to reduce Lu Chaoyu’s family to commoners, which was very much out of the mouth of the evil when he was a crown prince.
However, the conditions negotiated at that time were that the lives of Lu Chaoyu’s family could be preserved, and he could even leave some of his belongings behind and still enjoy a rich and privileged life.
So even if Emperor Duanhua did not provide conclusive evidence that Zheng An was driven by the Grand Princess of Dai Guo to go to Liao Zhou and harm Jane Yiyu’s family, the Empress Dowager and the Grand Princess of Jin Guo also gave in.
It wasn’t that they couldn’t rebel against Emperor Duanhua’s intentions, it was mainly because they didn’t want to increase Emperor Duanhua’s hatred and aversion to Lu Chaoyu, thinking that they would let the Emperor lose his temper in exchange for Lu Chaoyu’s family being able to have a good death but now Lu Chaoyu and his wife were gone!
Even if they did it on their own. Even if they did kill themselves, the chamberlain sent to Qiongzhou was one of Emperor Duanhua’s men, so how could the Empress Dowager and the Grand Princess of Jin not suspect that the chamberlain was under Emperor Duanhua’s orders, or that he had insulted and hinted to Lu Chaoyu and his wife in private, so that they would have to die?
Emperor Duanhua knew that he could either produce evidence of Lu Chaoyu’s mischief, so as to prove that the couple was afraid of crime and had not killed themselves; or he could prove that he had not done anything in private to force his aunt and father to die. He knew that he could either produce evidence of Lu Chao Yu’s misdeeds to prove that the couple was afraid of their own crimes, or that he was not trying to kill them; or he could prove that he had not done anything to force his aunt and father to die!
Otherwise, the Grand Princess of Jin would be just fine, but the Dowager Empress would never let it go!
The Empress Dowager, as Emperor Duanhua’s direct grandmother, had a way of making things difficult for her grandson if she wanted to!
The reason why she was concerned about the emperor after Emperor Duanhua ascended to the throne and tried to repair her grandchildren’s relationship was not that she was afraid of her grandson when she saw that he had become the emperor!
It is because for one thing, Emperor Duanhua was established by Emperor Xianjia, and the Dowager Empress felt sad whenever she thought of her white hair sending her black hair to the black hair, and more than one black hair was sent to the black hair, so she inevitably had the feelings of love for Emperor Duanhua;
Secondly, it is for the youngest daughter Lu Chaoyu Duanhua Emperor would have hated the little aunt, once in the Dowager Empress here aggrieved, in the way of filial piety is not good to take the Dowager Empress how to say that will have to go to take the Lu Chaoyu family as a punching bag!
As a result, now Mr. and Mrs. Lu Chaoyu are both dead!
Or on the night of the decree. I’m sorry.
How could the Dowager Empress not ask for a statement from Emperor Duanhua?
After not having Lu Chaoyu as her soft underbelly, the Dowager Empress could say that she had nothing to fear.
She was so old and had the advantage of being an elder, just a few words could make Duanhua Emperor eat his words Duanhua Emperor could not take her yet, after all, the two kings of Su Xiang were still around, and the forces that supported them had not been dealt a devastating blow.
Duanhua Emperor to fall into the reputation of unfilial grandmother, the court, it is inevitable that there will be some turbulence!
Previously, when Empress Su hung from the beam, Emperor Duanhua had served the Empress with the Empress for a number of days before quelling the rumors that he was not good to his first mother!
Not to mention his own grandmother.
This is not Duanhua emperor or the crown prince that will be, that will have Xianjia emperor secretly mediate to hold back, the empress dowager can be said to be tied hands, but also brought great pressure to the East Palace.
Now that there was no Emperor Xianjia to pull the strings, in case the Dowager Empress was determined to go against Emperor Duanhua, the consequences could be imagined!
“Therefore, this time, we can only labor Gu Shao personally!” Emperor Duanhua summoned Gu Shao as quickly as he could, “Minister Gu also knows that Imperial Grandmother had a gap with me because of her little aunt. Even though both sides have been mending their relationship over the past two years, they have never fully recovered! Now the little aunt and little aunt father are gone, Qiongzhou is thousands of miles away, but also across the sea, I really can’t prove that their deaths, never from my authorization!”
So we have no choice but to prove that Mr. and Mrs. Luk Chiuyu committed suicide. They’ve killed themselves!
Emperor Duanhua knew that the matter was urgent although he had ordered the news to be blocked, it was impossible to keep it blocked, and at that point, he himself would be presenting ironclad evidence, and the Dowager Empress would suspect that he had deliberately planted the evidence!
“Don’t worry, Your Majesty!” Gu Shao solemnly assured, “I will fulfill Your Majesty’s trust!”
In the end, Liaozhou failed to get Zheng An to reveal half a word, and 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 Duanhua Emperor is now in Cuihua Mountain to avoid the summer heat, and dispose of the requirements of the family of the little aunt was satisfied before Zheng An arrived, so Duanhua Emperor had intended to let him first recuperate his body, and then interrogate him after two days.
This is of course not to be considerate of Zheng An, this is because Zheng An has already been tortured in Liaozhou, and after a long journey, even if his bones are hard, this is already dying in case of death, how can he continue to ask for a confession?
But now that things have changed, it’s a nobrainer!
Suo sex in the name of no false, Gu Shao’s talent is not bragged about, LiaoZhou side by all means did not ask out words, to his hands, but two days light, will have known the ins and outs!
The result was greatly unexpected by Emperor Duanhua!
“What did you say?!” Emperor Duanhua stood up in shock, “The mastermind behind Zheng An … is County Lord Jingmin?!”
“It is Pei who is one of the righteous daughters of His Highness the Grand Princess of the Kingdom of Jin, the Imperial Seal Jingmin County Lord, who married Hanlin Cultivator He Lou Duhan last year.” Gu Shao said this with no expression on his face, he has always been very satisfied with Pei Yourui as his grandson’s daughterinlaw, for one thing, Pei Yourui’s own talent and appearance are very consistent with his requirements for his juniors; for another, Pei Yourui comes from the Pei Clan of Youzhou, and her ancestor is not as illustrious as the six valves of the sea, but also not as illustrious as the Gu Clan of Hongzhou.
Although it is no longer the heyday of the scholarly family, but like Gu Shao this kind of direct descendant, in the bones of the family is still proud and proud of the family’s origin and longevity.
So he is for Pei Yourui who is similar to his own origin, naturally extra recognition.
But she didn’t expect that this grandson’s daughterinlaw, who had always been characterized as gentle and generous, had done such a great thing without saying a word!
The two monarchs and ministers were opposite each other for a long time before Emperor Duanhua said incredulously, “How could it be her?!”
In fact, according to the degree of grudges, when Jane Yiyu’s family only out of the matter, Pei Yourui’s suspicion should not be lower than the Jane family three houses.
After all, even if many people in the Imperial Capital don’t know the specifics of Pei He’s death, just based on the fact that Pei You Rui changed from a prospective daughterinlaw to a righteous daughter, and was reduced to the laughing stock of the Imperial Capital she has a reason to hate Jane Yiyu to the bone!
If it is not Pei Huo love their daughter, do not even need to change into Song Yuan kind of dad, change a slightly indifferent, not to mention Pei Yourui should hang herself on the beam, so as to avoid this cruel world!
The reason why even Empress Su are worried for Changxing long princess, but no one always suspected Pei You Rui, in addition to Pei You Rui has been to give a person gentle, reserved feeling of a lady, let a person feel that even if she still hates Jane Yiyu, but it is impossible to kill, the main thing is, Pei You Rui is only a woman, or the grand princess of Jin grew up in front of her.
Where did she get the ability to send someone after her to Liaozhou to exterminate her family?
Now faced with Emperor Duanhua’s question, Gu Shao smiled bitterly before explaining, ”I guess before Pei He passed away, he left manpower for Jingmin County Lord? The rich family harboring Zheng An is said to be the secret son of the Pei Clan of Youzhou who was planted in Liaozhou three generations ago speaking of which, both Youzhou and Liaozhou are in the north, and although the two places are not close to each other, they belong to the same north. The Pei Clan has been around for hundreds of years, and has flourished to this day, so how could it possibly confine its power to Youzhou?”
And when families want to expand, they normally do so from near and far.
With the Pei family’s illustrious years, Liaozhou must have long been their territory as well!
This is also the reason why Zheng An was not exposed until after the wife of that rich family misunderstood her husband: Zheng An had a very obvious physical appearance, so if it were not for the Pei family, which had been a local snake for many years, how would it have been possible to sweep the cover of his whereabouts clean?
“… “Emperor Duanhua sipped his tea to set his mind, and Fang said, “Then Zheng An is also a member of Pei’s family?”
“That’s not true.” Gu Shao sighed, “When the Ji family was first exiled to Qiongzhou, because the scene was much worse, it was impossible to take away all of the underlings and guards, and it was necessary to demobilize most of them, and Zheng An was in the middle of it.”
Emperor Duanhua frowned when he heard this sentence: this means that Zheng An actually has nothing to do with the Ji family anymore? This is not good ah, his purpose now is not to avenge Jane Yiyu’s family, but to solve the trouble for himself ah!
The Emperor pressed down his anxiety and signaled Gu Shao to continue his report.
“This person is a filial son, his mother got seriously ill in the middle of last year, he took great pains to ask the doctor to diagnose and treat, although seeking a party to get rid of the lesions, within the herbs but every piece of expensive, not at all he can afford it!” Gu Shao spoke here, Duanhua Emperor also roughly understand: Pei young Rui deeply loved Pei He, although her brother and sisterinlaw seems not virtuous, but because of the righteous mother of the Grand Princess of Jin backing, Pei family which dares to deduct her trousseau?
Last year, when she left the court, the Grand Princess of Jin, the Dowager Empress Dowager, Empress Su, Empress Wei, and all the nobles up and down the imperial capital who needed to give face to the Grand Princess of Jin, including the Duanhua Emperor and Gu Shao in the hall at the moment, all made generous offers.
So the money for medicine that is desperate for Zheng An is not worth mentioning to Pei Yourui at all!
Sure enough, Gu Shao sighed, “Jingmin County Lord gave Zheng An eight thousand taels of silver, as well as a pair of white jade golden ginsengs that no ordinary person could possibly obtain, enough for Zheng An to cure his mother’s illness, and still have money left over to arrange for his mother, his wife, and his children to leave the imperial capital and go to Shu to resettle! As for himself, he is ready to go to Liaozhou and take revenge on Jian Yiyu’s family for Jingmin County Master!”
After a pause and said, “According to Zheng An confession, Jing Min County Lord is from the knowledge that Jane Yijiu will be due to the matter of succession to return to their hometown, on the planning of retaliation to this end, she even hoped that Mrs. Yan’s sister, Xinling County Lord to stay in the imperial capital, by her care, so that there is a good reason to write to and from time to time with Mrs. Yan, so as to set out the information about Jane Yijiu so as to make reference to the start of the action. And thus set out Jane Yiyu’s news, so as to do the start of the reference. Just Mrs. Yan’s heart aches for her sister, and considerate of the time Jingmin County Lord will be married, did not agree. But because Jane Yijiu to Liaozhou soon after, because of trivial matters with the clan fell out, moved out of the clan, live alone to the city, in the end gave Jingmin County Lord opportunity!”
“…” Duanhua Emperor sank his face without making a sound, and only after a long time did he say, “That group of Liaozhou ruffians, with Zhu Zhigui, and what’s going on? Is it also Jing Min’s people?”
