At this sensitive moment, Shangguan Yuan had to recognize the current situation and accept all the emperor's established proposals, and moved Qianru and Liu Jiajun into the original Anhou Mansion.
This courtyard is one of the few large gardens in the capital. Even if a piece of it is designated as Huwei Camp, it is still a mansion compound.
Just as soon as he entered here, he felt extremely uncomfortable.
Qianru's eyes were filled with tears as she looked at everything here, looking like a ghost.
It always reminded him of the scene of digging his ex-wife's grave and what An Xingdao said in the prison.
Qianru, however, became distracted and confused after seeing Shangguan Yuan come in, which gave her the feeling that something was going on in her heart.
I couldn't help but think of Shangguan Yuan's horse kneeling to death in front of the grave of his previous life.
I feel uneasy and uneasy.
She kept praying to God not to play tricks on her too much, and hoped that Shangguan Yuan had nothing to do with the Anhou Mansion's destruction of the family.
Shangguan Yuan felt uncomfortable facing her, and she felt uncomfortable facing him.
Therefore, Qianru went to Tianlao every day with food and wine to try her luck.
This was all due to Shangguan Yuan receiving the title of Marquis Yongzhong. Otherwise, she would not even be able to approach the gate of such a place.
Unexpectedly, after going there for several days, the emperor was alerted and was summoned to the Qinzheng Hall for questioning.
As soon as she entered, she saw the murderous intent on the emperor's face, and her father and husband who were kneeling on the ground obediently without even daring to raise their heads. She already knew that she was in trouble.
"Marquis Yongzhong, how do you think I should deal with this restless wife of yours?"
"My wife is not guilty."
Shangguan Yuan's categorical reply made the resentment that had accumulated in Qianru's heart for many days disappear immediately.
The emperor asked Antai again, and Antai also said that Qianru was not guilty.
"You all think she is innocent, which means you are all guilty and have the intention to rebel."
The emperor angrily scolded them, as if he wanted to kill but was reluctant to kill them, and wanted to beat them but was afraid of being hurt.
Qianru understood that the emperor valued An Tai and Shangguan Yuan and deliberately called her there so that she could take the punishment for the sake of her father and husband's future, and then retreat in spite of the difficulties.
But how could she watch her good sister die in vain?
Since the emperor couldn't bear to part with An Tai and Shangguan Yuan, she should seize this opportunity to ask for them.
So, she prepared some words that were somewhat against her will, and made a direct remonstrance.
It is said that King Gui was arrogant and domineering, but he had no intention of rebellion. If he had any intention to rebel, he could rebel openly when he returned in triumph and had military power in his hands. There was no need to wait for someone to catch him before rebelling.
Moreover, he is a prince, and according to the laws of the Daxuan Dynasty, he is among the eight councils. He also has many party members, so he can easily get away with serious crimes, so there is no need to take the risk of treason.
These words described Changsunji as an elder who, although he was arrogant and proud of his merits, had made great contributions to the country.
Now that he made a mistake and died, his huge mistake has been made up for. His only sick and frail son should not have been affected, and his innocent daughter-in-law should not have been affected.
An Tai also spoke out against indiscriminate killing.
Changsun's face turned pale with anger. He caught Shangguan Yuan who was silent and asked, "Do you think Changsun Ji should be killed or kept?"
"The emperor governs the country with benevolence, and I do not think that a sick man should be implicated."
The eldest grandson saw their whole family united together and was furious. He ordered someone to drag them down and give them twenty sticks, and then brought them back to the Qinzheng Hall for a lecture.
If you change your mind after being beaten, isn't the punishment in vain?
Qianru was unwilling to give in and continued to bite her.
Just when Changsun Lue was about to impose the rod punishment again, Queen Shen's father, Zhennan Hou Shenchao, came to see her wearing armor.
Because of the King Gui case, thousands of people have been arrested in the past few days, and all the meritorious generals are in danger. Those who have fiefdoms are rushing to return to their fiefdoms, and those with old troops are contacting their old tribes.
Marquis Shen said that this was a sign of great chaos, and he could only serve his country by wearing armor.
As soon as he finished speaking, the emperor received requests from dozens of princes to return to their fiefdoms.
"You just want to leave after handing over the coupons. Do you still have me as the emperor in your eyes?"
Changsun was hysterical and made a mess of the memorial, but the result was that these people had left long ago, and the memorial was just an escape route arranged by Jin Chan after he escaped from his shell.
Shen Hou said: "The emperor made two major mistakes. First, he should not have allowed King Luo, who was presiding over the case of An Xingdao, to deal with the case of King Gui. Second, the crown prince of King Gui had long surrendered himself to the palace to plead guilty. He should not have done so after his father's death.
Later, he was also put in the prison. These two mistakes have greatly lost the support of the people!"
Qianru caught a glimpse of the reluctance and regret on Changsun Lue's face, so she seized the opportunity, cleverly took advantage of the situation, and encouraged her father An Tai to persuade the emperor to issue a decree to pardon Changsun Ji and his wife.
Changsun Lue also stepped down and handed over the trial power of King Gui's case to Dali Temple, and asked Duke Rongguo and King Luo to supervise the trial together.
After leaving, Marquis Shen kept praising Qianru for her intelligence.
She didn't dare to show off, and said aggrievedly that she only wanted to save her sister Xiangxiang.
Marquis Shen also praised her for her kindness and righteousness, and was flattered by her.
On the way back, An Tai also praised her, saying that what he was most proud of in his life was having her as his daughter.
Qianru felt very sorry for her selfishness, which caused them to be beaten and praised.
An Tai said she should praise her.
"This crisis was all caused by the emperor's eagerness to cut down the vassal vassal. The emperor was eager to send me to court, and he was eager to blame King Gui before the matter was clarified. In fact, I only found out some corruption and malfeasance among Gui County officials.
That’s all, alas!”
"Who is so bold as to kill King Gui?"
"One said it was King Luo who killed him, and another said it was King Gui who slipped and fell and died." An Tai said, "In any case, everyone who had a secret meeting with King Gui in his private house that night was killed."
"King Gui has fallen. Now the court is divided between Rong Guo Gong and Luo Wang. The emperor's situation has not changed. In addition, his father-in-law has contradicted him again. Therefore, it is not you who has harmed us, but the emperor wants to use you to deal with us.
.”
An Tai felt that Shangguan Yuan had underestimated the emperor's wisdom. In his opinion, what happened today was that the emperor was looking for a way out.
Qianru also thinks this is the case. After all, the crisis has emerged. Even if the emperor releases Changsunji and his wife and replaces the chief judge, it may not be able to turn the tide.
Moreover, Marquis Shen looked relaxed when he left, as if he had won a victory.
Only halfway through, a palace carriage came speeding up, stopped them, and then put Changsun Ji and Xiangxiang into their car.
Both of them were tortured and were dying, as if they would die at any moment.
They are all pardoned, why not give him a mansion? Why not put him in their carriage?
Qianru didn't mind taking care of them, but what the emperor did was really weird.
If something happens to Chang Sun Ji, or if the case of King Gui repeats itself, Shangguan Yuan will not be able to escape his involvement.
Changsun Lue's arrangement undoubtedly tied them and Changsun Ji tightly together.
What is his intention?
Qianru felt the insidiousness of Changsun Lue for the first time.
