Be a master through ancient times

"The concubine has met the sage." The queen waited at the door to greet her. Before the ceremony could go on, she was helped up by Tianhedi.

"You don't need to be too polite, the queen. I haven't come here for a while. Come and have a sit today." Tianhedi said.

The queen smiled gently: "Your Majesty, you can come here whenever you want. Why do you have to be so out of touch?" As she spoke, she let Tianhe Emperor in, and at the same time ordered people to serve refreshments. God is in a better mood.

"You don't need to be busy, you can sit too," Tianhedi took her hand and asked her to sit beside him, "I came today to ask about the emperor's son."

The queen was taken aback, and her expression suddenly became sad: "I've heard about Ji'er, how could he be so bold? It's all because my concubine didn't stop him from leaving the palace that day, otherwise, I wouldn't have committed such a crime." Big mistake."

Emperor Tianhe sighed: "Empress, don't blame yourself, Ji'er has always acted perversely, who knows what he is thinking, you know very little about this matter, it's like this..."

He told the queen the specific results of Mu Yuanxiu's investigation in the past few days, and asked Du Gang emphatically.He has always been Ji'er's entourage, and the queen must know something about it.

Sure enough, the queen looked surprised and said: "It's him? This man is the child of one of my elder brother's subordinates. His father died in the line of duty. My elder brother took pity on their orphans and widows, so he let them live in Cheng'en Gong's mansion." Good to protect them. He practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his elder brother recommended him to Ji'er when he saw his outstanding martial arts skills. He has always listened to Ji'er and would never do anything against the Lord."

Hearing the Queen's statement about this person with such certainty, Emperor Tianhe was a little puzzled: "The Queen thinks that this person is not lying? Then how can he explain the murder of Yu Shi? He claimed that Ji'er ordered him to do so, but according to my understanding According to Ji'er's understanding, he is not such a cruel person."

The queen glanced at Tianhe Emperor, as if she wanted to say something, but also seemed to have some scruples.

"It's okay for the queen to say it." Tianhedi said in relief, as they are old husband and wife, there is nothing else they can't say.

"The child Ji'er was brought up by the concubine. It stands to reason that the concubine should not have said such a thing, but the concubine felt that the child was indeed a little left-handed. That day, Yu Shi gave him a decision in the court hall. After committing ten crimes, he must have been in a hurry, and he was confused for a moment...it's hard to say." After finishing speaking, the queen raised her eyes to see the ugly expression on Tianhedi's face, and added, "Of course, the concubine is still more willing to believe. He is innocent."

Emperor Tianhe looked at the queen and said earnestly: "I still believe that Ji'er will not be the one who murdered the imperial censor. When he was young, he had a pure and kind heart, and he couldn't even bear to hurt a baby bird. How could he let someone kill him?"

The queen nodded and said: "What you said is that there should be other secrets in this case, but the emperor, if Du Gang still insists that Ji'er ordered him, what should we do?"

"I just heard from the queen that Du Gang lost his father when he was young, and was brought up by his widowed mother?" Emperor Tianhe recalled what the queen said just now, "As long as he has a little filial piety, we shouldn't continue to slander him for his kindness." People. Your elder brother is Ji'er's real uncle, I hope he won't take revenge."

"Then the concubine should write a letter to my brother?"

"Go." Emperor Tianhe watched the queen go to the study, while he was still sitting in the main hall of Kunde Palace.He remembered that when he first succeeded to the throne, no matter how busy or tired he was, he would come here to sit here every day. He didn't know when, but he was a little unfamiliar with the environment here.

Suddenly, his gaze was fixed on a shelf by the window, where there was a vase of flowers. The flowers were placed in the vase in a patchwork manner, which was very interesting and made people happy to see it.

Tianhedi got up and walked over, stood by and admired it carefully.

"Who made this vase of flowers?" He asked casually after admiring it for a while.

A maid who was waiting on the side said with a smile: "Return to the Holy One, this is made by the empress herself. How can the servants have such skillful hands?"

Tianhedi was startled, and continued to ask: "Does the queen play with this every day?"

The maid shook her head and said: "Your Majesty hasn't touched this for several years, maybe she's in a good mood recently, and she will make a bottle every now and then."

In an instant, countless thoughts arose in Tianhedi's mind, and his face changed several times, and finally returned to flatness.He sat back to his original place, looked at the Kunde Palace carefully, and felt strange emotions again.

"... Your Majesty? Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

Tianhedi came back to his senses and saw the queen standing in front of him holding the letter.

"The concubine has called you a few times, what are you thinking, majesty?" the queen said angrily.

Emperor Tianhe smiled wryly: "I'm just worried for Ji'er, I hope your letter will be effective."

"Ji'er is valued by the Holy Majesty, so he can turn bad luck into good luck. The Holy Majesty only needs to send this letter to Duke Cheng'en's residence. My elder brother will let his mother visit him."

"Well, the queen has a good rest, I still have things to do, so I will stay soon."

"Government affairs are important, Majesty, you can go, and the concubines will send you off respectfully."

Emperor Tianhe came out of the Kunde Palace and sat on the soft sedan chair, recalling bits and pieces of the past, some things that he hadn't noticed before, all surfaced at this time.He looked at the envelope in his hand, and couldn't help but sigh: "Perhaps, I never saw her clearly."

The sound was light and heavy, and soon disappeared with the wind, and no one heard it again.

……

In the evening, a woman came out of the dungeon of Dali Temple wiping her tears. Later, Du Gang, the criminal who murdered the censor, retracted his confession, saying that his actions were not ordered by others, but that he secretly guessed the Lord's will and was eager to make contributions. , and felt that Yu Yushi's words were offensive, which was really hateful, and he became angry for a while, so he hid in the mansion and killed Yu Yushi, and then pretended that he hanged himself to death.

Before Mu Yuanxiu could verify it, the prisoner bit his tongue and killed himself while the guards were not paying attention.

This case that shocked the entire Wei Dynasty ended with the prisoner committing suicide in prison.His fingerprinted confession was also made public by Emperor Tianhe in the early dynasty.

The ministers had different expressions when they saw this confession, but what is certain is that few people believed it.But the criminal is dead, so it is useless to say more.

In private, everyone thought that Yu Ji had instigated this case, but they didn't expect that the slave would confess him, and simply threatened the man with his mother to change his confession, and then let him die to calm the anger of the public.

The final result of this incident was that the number of people in the court who supported Li Yuji as the prince decreased again, and occasionally a few voices were quickly suppressed by the crowd.

Tianhe Emperor's face has been very ugly these days, and the voices from the court and the public have shocked him.Under such momentum, it seems that Yu Zhi's crown prince is a certainty.Emperor Tianhe has always wondered whether the person who instructed Du Gang was a person who supported Yu Zhi.Because no matter how you look at it, he is the only beneficiary.But no matter how you check, Du Gang has nothing to do with Yu Zhi's faction.

Yu Zhi also seemed to feel his suspicion. Recently, he acted more openly, as if he was letting you investigate at will.In fact, he also had some doubts in his heart, because he really didn't make a move on this matter.

If it was hinted at the beginning that he had a share of the credit for Yu Shi, then the subsequent development depends entirely on Yu Ji himself.He really didn't expect that his elder brother would be so stupid that he could smash a good deck of cards.

Sometimes thinking of what Yu Ji did, Yu Zhi would laugh inexplicably.He would sometimes reflect on himself, why did he treat Yu Ji as a thorn in his side when he was a child, is such a person worth his actions every time, is it worth his energy to subdue those ministers?He suspected that even if he did nothing, Yu Ji would not be able to sit on the crown prince.

Doing the math, probably from the time when Chu Ci was appointed as the lecturer in the upper study room, but was almost lured into the harem by the eunuch sent by Yu Ji, success was on his side.

It was the same that time, Yu Ji sent someone to tease Chu Ci first, but he didn't expect his people to change their mind halfway and lead him to the harem. If it weren't for Chu Ci's wit, he might have made a big mistake.When he caught the servant, he insisted that it was Yu Ji's instigation, and then committed suicide while others were not prepared.

Later, he investigated and found that the slave was indeed Yu Ji's person from the beginning to the end, and the person who transferred the harem guards to open the palace gate also insisted that he was ordered by the queen.

From this point of view, it was indeed Yu Ji who did it.After all, apart from the queen's parents and children, who else could hold the phoenix order and transfer those guards away?
