"Although this matter is hidden, there are only a few people who know about it. My father told me about this matter before he died. He always felt sorry for Xue Haozhen for leaving him homeless and unable to recognize his ancestors!"
"And Xue Haozhen, influenced by his mother, has always had a grudge against our Liang family. He would frame me back then, perhaps because I belong to the Liang family and is his brother."
"Do you know him well? What is he like as a person?" Gu Chengyu didn't know Xue Haozhen's character. He only learned about it from the side of those books and felt that this person should not be a treacherous person.
"When it comes to character, I am also a little confused. Back then, I always thought that he was an upright person. Except for his grudge against our Liang family, he had good character both as an official and as a person. It's just that he was very kind to us.
The restraints of the clan members were not enough, and he was really letting it go. After he became the chief minister, many dandy boys appeared in his clan, and they did many evil things. I joined him because he was deceived by the children of the Xue clan.
He unknowingly colluded with his clan members. Later, when the court officials joined him in colluding with Daxing, I still can't believe it."
Liang Zhirui sighed. In fact, his father regretted it very much before he died. After all, they were his own flesh and blood. However, since the Xue family was noble, it did not mean he had insulted Xue Haozhen. After his father found out, he concealed the matter in order not to affect Xue Haozhen's future.
"Afterwards, I thought about it carefully and found that there were some doubts about this matter. At that time, Xia Qing and Xue Haozhen often had disputes over government affairs. They were incompatible with each other, and they became tit-for-tat when they got together.
He ridiculed him for being too insidious and cunning, and he liked to take advantage of opportunities. If the two of them worked for Daxing together, why would their relationship be so blunt? But the evidence was conclusive back then. When Emperor Huiming wanted to imprison Xue Haozhen, he claimed to be ill and did not go to court. Could it be that
Did he already know that the emperor would do this? Then why did he escape instead of explaining it clearly to the emperor?"
After this incident, it was not that Liang Zhirui had not thought deeply about it. The incriminating evidence was very complete, but he always felt that it was too deliberate. Who would leave so many incriminating evidence and not destroy it quickly?
"You said that he didn't go to court that day, that means he received the news in advance? Then why didn't he destroy the so-called evidence before confiscating his house? Another point, why didn't he explain to the emperor and hand over the evidence in his hand?
Where is the emperor?"
Liang Zhirui frowned, and then he asked in shock: "Is it because he couldn't bear to hand over the evidence of my crime to the emperor?"
His hand holding the desk was trembling a little. He had always thought that this concubine only had indifference towards him and resentment towards Mr. Liang. However, the young disciple's words today made his heart feel like it was falling into an ice cave.
He recalled that after he read Xue Haozhen's book, Xue Haozhen approached him and told him to stop and he could forget the past.
At that time, he thought Xue Haozhen was referring to his participation in his book. Now he recalled the fragmentary remarks made by the other party at that time. It was clearly a pun!
It's a pity that he was only angry because of Xue Haozhen's accusation. He believed that Xue Haozhen, as the chief minister of the cabinet, could not lead by example and allowed his people to behave recklessly. After being involved, he did not repent and even came to threaten him, so he could not hear other hints.
?
The two of them had a big fight over this and finally broke up! Thinking about it now, he was really a bastard at the time!
"This may be only part of the reason! The question is who disclosed these so-called evidences to him?"
Xue Haozhen did have a heart to let his brother go. But he later left the evidence to Xue Miao, which proved that he regretted it and still wanted to keep the Xue family's name intact for a hundred years.
The Xue family has been passed down for hundreds of years and is a true house of Qingliu. After Xue Haozhen was promoted to chief minister, its reputation reached its peak. But no matter how brilliant the flowers are, they can only flourish for a while! It didn't take long before they fell into the abyss.
Become an object of contempt for everyone.
Xue was kind to Xue Haozhen, so how could Xue Haozhen allow others to tarnish Xue's reputation? Perhaps this is the reason why Xue Haozhen kept the evidence of the crime and handed it over to Xue Miao.
It was Xue Haozhen's last wish before his death to overturn the case for the Xue family and redress his injustice.
Gu Chengyu felt that the truth of the matter was actually obvious. Xia Qing was the first to frame Xue Haozhen. But the one who really wanted to put Xue Haozhen to death was the one whom Xue Haozhen could not resist, Emperor Huiming.
If you want me to die, I have to die!
Liang Zhirui stared intently at the candlelight in front of him, his eyes already full of tears. After Gu Chengyu thought about it, he raised his head, but suddenly found that something was wrong with his teacher's mood, and he quickly stepped forward to comfort him.
"You don't have to think too much. He kept these evidences in the end because he regretted it, right? He still wanted to reverse the case for Xue, and he didn't show much kindness to you. Besides, everything that goes strong must fall! Xue
Although his death was due to being framed, it was more due to Emperor Huiming's fear."
The teacher is such an upright person. Knowing that Xue Haozhen once thought of letting her go, he must feel uncomfortable.
"If he had presented the evidence of his crime earlier, maybe he would not have ended up like this. Our Liang family never gave him anything. Although he said he was resentful, he still took Liang family to heart in the end.
.For this reason, he also ruined the Xue family’s century-old reputation and so many lives. How can he find peace after his death?”
Liang Zhirui couldn't hold it back after all, tears streaked down his old face, and he regretted that he didn't seriously distinguish Xue Haozhen's words.
At this moment, his heart was extremely heavy. He felt as if the 611 lives and the Xue family's century-old reputation were weighing on his heart.
"Teacher!" Gu Chengyu stroked Liang Zhirui's back. He knew that the teacher regretted it, but many years had passed. They had a misunderstanding back then, but they were both stubborn and upright, so they were both wrong.
All I can say is that this is all due to distrust!
"You go back first! I'm a little tired." Liang Zhirui stroked his forehead, his voice choked with sobs.
"Don't blame yourself too much. The Xue family perished because of irresistible factors." Gu Chengyu saw that the teacher did not listen to what he said after that. He really felt that Emperor Huiming was so afraid of the Xue family that the Xue family could not escape.
.
Liang Zhirui waved his hand, and Gu Chengyu felt a little sad. After all, he still made the teacher sad.
Before leaving, Gu Chengyu called the steward of the Liang Mansion and asked him to ask Ning to enlighten Teacher Xie. The teacher was old and should not be too excited.
He regretted telling the teacher about this, even though he got a lot of clues.
Sitting on the carriage returning home, Gu Chengyu closed his eyes slightly. If the Xue family's orphan wanted to restore his century-old name, his teacher would inevitably be involved. Anyone with a discerning eye should be able to see what Emperor Huiming did back then.
Although there is a lot of evidence, how can one be convicted so easily? Moreover, Xue Haozhen had no chance to defend himself, so issuing such a quick order was really not in line with Emperor Huiming's style.
"That Yanbi, can anyone order someone to restrain her?" Gu Chengyu thought of Yanbi. This girl knew Tan's mother who was next to Liu Su'er. Yanbi should be the little girl back then, and she was of the right age.
"People from Fucheng have been sent to tie him up. He may still be interrogated. It will take a few days to wait for Fei Ge to send the letter." Ming Yan replied from outside the carriage.
