Yuan Qing Ling was slightly startled. She didn't know what Emperor Ming Yuan meant. He hesitated for a long time and said, "Only my daughter-in-law has seen this picture. No one else has seen it."
"Have you ever seen the old lady from Zhou Dynasty who lives in your house?"
Emperor Ming Yuan asked with a strange light shining in his eyes.
Yuan Qingling couldn't figure out what he was thinking, so she shook her head gently and did not answer.
"Seen?
She also said it was fake?"
Emperor Ming Yuan asked again tentatively.
As soon as she said this, Yuan Qingling also knew what he meant. He might not believe her words, but he was willing to get off the donkey.
Emperor Ming Yuan's eyes were heavy and he continued: "This old lady is someone close to Empress Dowager Long of the Zhou Dynasty. She also participated in the research of these weapons, right?"
Yuan Qingling was silent after hearing this, but her heart was overflowing with sadness. The son wanted me to die, but the father had to hold back the grief and anger to find a way out for him. If Yu Wenjun didn't understand this time
It would be a pity to die if you start a new life.
"Yes or no?"
Emperor Ming Yuan’s voice was slightly higher.
Yuan Qingling couldn't help but shed tears, nodded and choked with sobs: "Yes!"
Emperor Ming Yuan looked at her, "Why are you crying?"
Yuan Qingling wiped her tears and said, "The sand blinded my eyes when I entered the palace."
Emperor Ming Yuan remained silent for a while, then raised his hand, his voice full of exhaustion, "Go ahead, I'm fine."
Yuan Qingling burst into tears again and hurriedly resigned.
Yu Wenhao, who was waiting outside, saw his eyes turned red when Yuan Qingling came out. He thought he was being scolded by his father, so he asked: "Father doesn't believe you, does he?"
Yuan Qingling looked at Yu Wenhao, "He didn't believe it. He didn't even ask, but he told grandma and I to say that the military map was fake."
Yu Wenhao was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and without saying anything, he took her hand and walked out.
When the case was retried, both Yuan Qingling and Grandma Yuan came to the court to testify that the military map found in Prince Ji's Mansion was fake.
Before going to court, Yuan Qing Ling had already told Grandma Yuan about the mistakes and omissions. Therefore, in front of the Minister of the Ministry of Justice and the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, Grandma Yuan pointed them out and said that it would be impossible to cast according to the drawings.
The casting was successful. Grandma Yuan said less about the chariot, because that was what Yuan Qingling told her, and she didn't know much about it herself. However, Grandma gave her opinions on the manufacture of the cannon, and the combination of saltpeter and sulfur was wrong.
, using the principles of firecrackers, one can tell that this drawing is fake, not to mention the construction of the gun body. It is simply impossible to make a weapon with high destructive power, even worse than firecrackers.
There were many officials present to participate in the trial, several of whom were highly respected veterans of the court and some of the royal family members. Naturally, they were appointed by Emperor Ming Yuan.
They didn't know that this old lady from the Great Zhou Dynasty had participated in the manufacture of weapons, but now they heard her analysis was clear and logical, and it seemed to be true.
Since the military map is fake, and Yu Wenhao summoned people from Prince Ji's Mansion to testify, saying that someone indeed sneaked into Prince Ji's Mansion that night, and the couple behind him, it is possible that they were framed.
The whole thing did not involve Chu Mingyang. This line was a hidden line. Yu Wenhao did not move for the time being. He just informed Chu Shoufu and asked him to keep an eye on her to see who she was in contact with.
No one knows the truth of the case, but the evidence tends to suggest that Yu Wenjun was framed. In addition, Yu Wenjun was the eldest son of the emperor. If he was really executed for the crime of treason, it would be a great tragedy for the Northern Tang Dynasty.
.
After discussing with the jurors, the three presiding officers decided to accept the testimony of Grandma Yuan and Yuan Qingling and restore Yu Wenjun's innocence.
However, although he did not steal the military map, the cursed people in the secret room could not be washed away. His home was ransacked and his mansion was confiscated. He was demoted to a commoner. After working for so long, he fell into a trap.
The basket was empty.
All that's left is the head on the neck.
Yu Wenjun thought he was going to die, but he didn't know that he could still walk out of the prison in Jingzhao Mansion alive. However, no one came to greet him outside the prison, not even his former loyal disciples and ministers.
The sun shone on the top of his head, and he dragged his heavy steps, not knowing where to go.
Yu Wenhao still sent someone to take him back to Prince Ji's Mansion first. He could take away some of his own clothes, but they couldn't be expensive silks and satins, they could only be ordinary casual clothes.
Prince Ji's palace was also notified that the charges were not found guilty and they could go their separate ways. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and no longer had to wait in fear for the arrival of death.
Therefore, when Yu Wenjun returned, he saw the servant saying goodbye to Princess Ji.
Everyone knelt down and said goodbye, still calling the princess, but she smiled miserably and said: "There is no such thing as a princess anymore, just call me Mrs. Yao."
Yao is her nickname in her boudoir, and she seems to have forgotten it for a long time. She doesn't even want to use her maiden name to the family members of the guilty ministers. Over the years, it has caused a lot of trouble to her natal family, and she is unfilial.
Rong Yue sent some money over there, and now it was just for their dismissal. Everyone received the money, cried a lot, and then left one after another.
Almost no one saw Yu Wenjun. He was hiding in the corner of the door with his hair disheveled, his head hanging down, not looking at anyone.
The people who said goodbye naturally didn't notice the smelly man and just thought he was a homeless man who came to beg for food.
Who would have thought that this down-and-out man could actually be the majestic King Ji of the past?
After all the people were gone, he slowly walked in.
The mansion was almost completely emptied, and even the branches that had just sprouted in the yard seemed listless, showing signs of dilapidation everywhere.
Princess Ji's wife Yao was sitting on the bench in front of the corridor, watching Yu Wenjun slowly walk in. Her eyes were a little complicated, and the traces of being slapped on her face were not completely eliminated. Half of her face could still be seen slightly swollen.
Applying makeup and powder makes the whole face look tired.
At this time, Yuan Qingling and Rong Yue had just arrived. When they entered the door and saw this scene, they both stepped back and refused to go in.
"The king is not dead, are you disappointed?"
Yu Wenjun looked up at Mrs. Yao, his eyes still angry. He could not forget her betrayal. If it hadn't been for her, he would not have ended up where he did today.
Lady Yao was very calm. She looked at him for a while, but felt that she had nothing to say and was unwilling to respond even to this sentence.
There was a packed baggage at her feet. After the servants left, she was leaving.
When she reached for the baggage, Yu Wenjun said angrily: "Just wait. Since you have harmed me first, I can no longer be husband and wife with you. I will divorce you."
After saying that, he ran in, and after a while, he took out a letter of divorce and threw it in front of Mrs. Yao. He said with a livid face: "This king and you will be strangers and have nothing to do with each other from now on. Go to hell!"
The letter of divorce fell at the feet of Madam Yao. The ink was not dry yet, and the handwriting was scrawled. The four words "love, break, justice, and love" penetrated through the back of the paper. When illuminated by the sun, they became extremely clear and conspicuous.
She bent down to pick it up, and her eyes seemed to clear away the heavy haze, revealing a glimmer of light. "This is a letter of divorce." Before she could finish speaking, Yu Wenjun interrupted her coldly, "You don't have to ask for murder."
My husband's evil wife, how can I still maintain our marital status with you?
I, the King, have deserted all my relatives, have nothing, and do not want to keep you by my side anymore."
