After Chu Xuanchen set out, Yun Ruoyue and Mo Zhu had been looking for the mastermind behind the anti-poetry.
Even if the emperor let Chu Xuanchen go and never mentioned the rebellion again, they could not give up and must redress the injustice for Chu Xuanchen.
Otherwise, if the emperor thinks of it one day, he will use this as an excuse to cause trouble for Chu Xuanchen.
Only by clearing Chu Xuanchen's charges can they be relieved once and for all.
At the same time, Jiang Ning and other former officials of the late emperor were also helping to search.
On this day, when Yun Ruoyue was coaxing two little ones at Prince Li's Mansion, Mo Zhu led a middle-aged man in official uniform and reported to her: "Princess, this gentleman wants to see you!"
"grown ups?"
Yun Ruoyue raised her eyes and saw that the man in front of her was wearing an official hat and a blue official uniform.
She took a closer look, wasn't this Yang Shixun?
She hurriedly said: "Mr. Yang, it's you, welcome!"
Yang Shixun smiled at Yun Ruoyue and cupped his hands: "Your Majesty Yang Shixun, I have met the princess!"
"Sir, there is no need to be polite, Feng'er, go and serve tea."
Yun Ruoyue said hurriedly.
"Yes, empress."
After Feng'er finished answering, she quickly went to prepare tea.
Yang Shixun said: "Princess, you don't have to be polite. This official is here to clear His Highness Prince Li of the charge of rebellion!"
"What?
Do you know who framed the prince?"
Yun Ruoyue said happily.
Yang Shixun nodded, "From the day the prince was framed, Mr. Jiang and the lower officials did not believe that he would rebel, let alone that he would ask people to write anti-poems or build merit monuments, so we have been investigating in Jiangzhou.
.
The hard work paid off, and after a few days of investigation, we finally found out that someone was behind this!"
"Sure enough, as we suspected, someone is causing trouble. Does your Excellency know who this person is?"
Yun Ruoyue asked.
Yun Ruoyue guessed that the mastermind was Su Ming, but she didn't know who was working for him.
Yang Shixun said: "When we were investigating in Jiangzhou, we found several students who took the lead in writing anti-poems, and several gangsters who took the lead in setting up merit monuments. We caught them on the spot.
Under our severe torture, they finally admitted that Chen Yong, the magistrate of Xing'an County, Jiangzhou, instigated them to do this.
Princess, I have taken Chen Yong and all these witnesses to the imperial city.
This matter is related to the reputation of the prince, please bring us into the palace, I will tell the emperor everything and redress the injustice for the prince!"
Hearing this, Yun Ruoyue was moved.
She didn't expect that Jiang Ning and Yang Shixun had been helping the prince behind his back.
She looked at Yang Shixun with gratitude, "Master Yang, that's great, thank you! Now the prince can finally wash away his grievances and no longer have to bear the infamy!"
Yang Shixun hurriedly said: "Princess, you're welcome, these are what lower officials should do.
Emperor Hongyuan was cruel and cruel and framed Zhongliang. Of course we must protect King Li.
Emperor Hongyuan was dissolute and immoral and was not a wise king, but His Highness Prince Li cared about the common people and was willing to risk his life to fight even if he was framed by the emperor.
The prince's character is obvious to all. He is defending the country from the front. How can we let him go to fight with a "criminal body"?
Of course we have to clear his name! We want the world to know that King Li went to the front lines for the people, and was not a ‘dedicated crime’ as popular rumors say!”
Yun Ruoyue nodded, she also knew about the recent rumors among the people.
