Xifu was extremely disappointed: "Your Majesty finally came here with great difficulty, why didn't you stay with your Majesty?"
Queen Zou said calmly: "I can't keep him, his mind is not here, how can he keep him?
You see, after such a big thing happened, he came here and never mentioned a word to me. He was still on guard against me.
In his heart, I am not as trustworthy as Gu Fenglin, an outsider. He is afraid that I will remember what happened before and take the opportunity to plot against Gu Fenglin."
Xifu was sad: "My dearest lady, I really feel sorry for you."
Queen Zou said: "I don't need you to feel bad, you just need to do everything I ask you to do."
She smiled: "Everything is difficult at the beginning, but the hardest part has been accomplished, and things will get smoother and smoother in the future."
Just wait, Zhao Xing, you will have many days begging me in the future.
That night, the emperor and Queen Mother Shen kept talking secretly about the fourth watch.
The mother and son drove away all the palace attendants, and no one knew what they said.
After the emperor got up the next morning, he ordered the Ministry of Rites to draft a posthumous title for Prime Minister Meng and to posthumously award him official positions and titles, but he did not even mention it.
At the same time, the Criminal Department of Jingzhao Prefecture closed the Pucheng Fire case.
It was determined that Peng Bo opposed the New Deal, was hostile to the Priest Palace, and concocted this tragedy in order to suppress and destroy Gu Fenglin's reputation, thereby undermining the New Deal.
The emperor made a side attack in the court hall, scolded the party bosses for causing harm to the court, ordered Peng Bo to be executed for three clans, his family property to be confiscated, and himself to be executed at Caishikou three days later.
Although it is not stated clearly, it is tantamount to scolding Prime Minister Meng for engaging in cliques and forming cliques to harm the government.
After all, everyone knows that Peng Bo is one of Meng Xiang's disciples.
If Mengxiang hadn't been dead, he would have been implicated.
Now that the person is dead, considering his past hard work and merit, for the sake of Master Meng, he will not be held accountable and will still be given a posthumous title.
But if you want to posthumously award an official position, a title or something like that, that is impossible.
At the same time, a conclusion was reached regarding the assassination of Meng Xiang.
It is certain that Zhang Laosan did it because Pucheng Huohuo hated Meng Xiang.
There was no one behind him to instruct him, it was entirely his own behavior.
The emperor ordered that the three clans be executed, their property confiscated, and he himself beheaded with a thousand knives and executed at Caishikou three days later.
Two cases, the same judgment, a good explanation of what it means to fight fifty times each.
But generally speaking, it was the Mongolian party that suffered a huge loss, losing both his wife and troops, and the reformists gained the upper hand.
This represents the emperor's determination to reform and does not allow anyone or any force to interfere, otherwise he is seeking death.
The Mongolian party felt sad for a while and then fell into silence.
Some people were dissatisfied and went to Meng Jia to ask him to redress his grievances to the emperor.
Meng Jia, on the other hand, had an indifferent attitude, saying that His Majesty would decide the right and wrong, and that he and the entire Meng family trusted Your Majesty.
The Mongolian Party was greatly disappointed. A new leader had not yet been born. The reality was disappointing. Many people whose positions were not firm were planning to switch to the reformists.
But there are also those who are stubborn and determined to hunker down, conserve their strength, and wait for the day when Gu Fenglin is unlucky to step on him again.
Gu Fenglin still reported illness at home that day and did not go to court.
It was already afternoon when the news reached him.
He and Mu Yunhan were about to go out to Prime Minister Meng's Mansion to express their condolences. Hearing this, they just smiled and said, "Your Majesty is wise."
Mu Yunhan was a little sad. Zhang Laosan was a madman, but his three clans were innocently implicated.
