My name is Chang An, your name is Gu Li

In early August, Chang An and Li Ying were chatting during the break as usual. Suddenly, Li Ying slapped the table, as if he remembered something, and said:

"Oh, I forgot to tell you something."

"What's the matter?" Chang An has always been a good listener at all times.

Li Ying put down the tea bowl in his hand and said, "It's about Wu Qinghui. Your method worked!"

"What success did your highness say?" Chang An asked, "Wu Qinghui fell out of favor, or was she investigated?"

"All of them!"

Li Ying poked the table and said, "Father almost never goes to Wu Qinghui's Bingyue Palace now. He only goes to our mother's place."

"As for the investigation of Wu Qinghui, it was because my father began to suspect Fu Yan's affair and believed that someone had maliciously framed him. So he began to mobilize the people in the harem and began to investigate."

Chang An nodded, then asked: "But these are all matters of the harem, not the East Palace. How did Your Highness know about this?"

"Because Eunuch Gao is on our side now, he will tell me if there is anything." Li Ying explained.

Chang An was a little surprised and asked, "Eunuch Gao is still willing to help His Highness?"

As far as he knew, Gao Lishi had no other intentions except to be loyal to Emperor Li Longji. He basically lived in Li Longji's bedroom every day, and an area in the bedroom was specially designated for Gao Lishi.

Gao Lishi was also known as the most loyal eunuch. As long as Li Longji was not harmed, Gao Lishi basically did not care. Whether he would help or not depended on his mood.

Li Ying nodded and said, "He said he didn't want to see Wu's chaos anymore, so he was willing to give us a break. But he doesn't care who loses in the end."

"I was wondering why the memorial I asked Yuwen Zhongcheng to submit at that time did not receive any response. It must have been stopped by Eunuch Gao." Chang An smiled.

Li Ying smiled and said, "Wu Qinghui is doomed now."

"But are we just investigating now?" Chang An asked at this time, "Wu Zhong, Wu Xin and Li Linfu have been staying in the Dali Temple for a few days. These people are all delicate and tender. How could they withstand the torture of the Dali Temple?"

Li Ying shrugged and said, "I don't know about this either. Maybe he wants to find some more evidence. After all, there is only human evidence, and the most solid human evidence has been killed."

Chang An heard this, touched his chin and began to think, and said: "Your Highness, do you think there is a possibility..."

"What's possible?"

"That is to say, there are enough witnesses here?" Chang An said with a smile.

"Enough? What do you mean? Besides the Wu brothers and Li Linfu, who else can serve as witnesses... Oh~" Halfway through speaking, Li Ying suddenly realized and asked tentatively:

"Could it be... enlightenment..."

"I'm not that magical. I can't bring the dead back to life." Chang An said, "But I didn't say Ming Wu died just like that."

Li Ying immediately became interested and asked, "What do you mean? Did Monk Mingwu leave anything behind?"

Chang An did not comment, and said: "At least, after a while, Wu Qinghui will be abolished, and from then on, it will be difficult for the Wu family to rise again in this world."

"Then I'll wait for your good news!"

"Your Highness, you are not waiting for good news from me, but good news from His Majesty. If His Majesty is more fair, he will definitely issue an edict." Chang An said.

"What edict?"

"The edict to overturn the verdict." Chang An stood up and said, "Okay, Your Highness, the after-school chat is over. It's time to continue with the class."

"alright."

......

"Menxia: I rule the world with culture and suppress rebellions with force. In today's world, I rule the world with benevolence, but in the palace, there are concubines who are immoral, violate the code of conduct for women, and disturb the palace. This is really intolerable.

Concubine Wu is not docile and has no prudent behavior. Since entering the palace, she has not been respectful and careful, but has been jealous, making trouble, and accusing the current Queen Wang. Her behavior is contrary to the virtues of a woman and violates the palace rules. I want to give her a lighter sentence because of our old relationship, but I think that she has not changed after repeated admonitions, and I want to set a rule for the palace to set an example for others. I now abolish the name of Concubine Wu and her son Qing, demote them to commoners, expel them from the palace, and never enter the palace again.

I hope that all the concubines in the harem will take this as a warning, strictly abide by the virtues of women, and follow the palace rules, and do not make the same mistakes. I should also reflect on myself, educate the harem with benevolence, make the palace harmonious, and the world peaceful.

Wu's brothers Zhong and Xin and their colleague Li Linfu colluded with the concubines in the harem, intending to murder the meritorious officials of the time and bring disaster to the government. They also worked together with the guilty concubine Wu to frame the queen Wang.

The three were important officials of the court, but instead of thinking about serving the country and the people, they colluded with the concubines, interfered in government affairs, and formed a clique for personal gain. Their crimes should be put to death. In order to prove the justice of the court and establish the fairness of the court, I now sentence Wu Zhong and Xin; Li Linfu, to confiscate their property, remove their official positions, and execute them on a chosen day to thank the world.

Announce it to the world, let all know. The Lord will execute it!

On the tenth day of the eighth month of the twelfth year of Kaiyuan… The Minister of the Secretariat… wrote the decree as shown on the right. Please submit it. The decree shall be issued to the outside for implementation. Please speak with caution. The decree is acceptable… I will submit it. The decree as shown on the right shall be issued and the decree shall be carried out…

The 10th day of the eighth month in the twelfth year of Kaiyuan.

Wu Qinghui was kneeling in front of his Bingyue Palace at this time. After listening to the imperial edict, he collapsed directly -

She lost, and lost completely.

The eunuch Cheng who was standing in front of her also said at this time: "Wu Qinghui, will you accept the order?"

"concubine......"

"The guilty concubine has received the order..."

Since Li Longji never came to her Bingyue Palace again, she knew she had no chance. She took the imperial edict with trembling hands and kowtowed to thank His Majesty for "not killing me".

As for the cold palace, Wang Ling also received an imperial edict:

"Menxia: I am a man of few virtues, ruling the world, and I am very cautious and fearful of losing my virtue. However, my queen is virtuous, respectful, frugal and kind, and I love her very much. Unfortunately, the traitor framed her, causing her to be wronged and deposed. My heart is deeply broken, and I miss her day and night and cannot forget her.

After investigation, the empress's injustice has been cleared and the traitor has been severely punished. I feel deeply guilty and hereby issue this decree to restore the empress to her position and to restore her status.

The Queen's virtue is as bright as the sun and the moon. I should cherish it even more and work hand in hand with the Queen to govern the world. I hope the Queen will forgive the past, care about the world, be a model for the world, and work hard for the welfare of all people. Announce it to the world and let everyone know. The master will implement it!

On the tenth day of the eighth month of the twelfth year of Kaiyuan… The Minister of the Secretariat… wrote the decree as shown on the right. Please submit it. The decree shall be issued to the outside for implementation. Please speak with caution. The decree is acceptable… I will submit it. The decree as shown on the right shall be issued and the decree shall be carried out…

The 10th day of the eighth month in the twelfth year of Kaiyuan.

Wang Ling took the imperial edict and kowtowed, saying, "I bow to thank your majesty. Long live the emperor."

Wang Ling stood up only after the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict left. It had only been eighteen days since she was deposed. In just eighteen days, she had experienced the transition from being second to none, to being above ten thousand people, to being ignored, and finally back to being second to none and above ten thousand people again.

It seemed that no one had ever experienced such ups and downs except her. Wang Ling stood there for a long time until the eunuch beside her called out, "Your Majesty the Queen?"

At this point, Wang Ling came back to her senses, looked over, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Your Majesty, it's time for the Queen to pack up. His Majesty will send someone to take Her Majesty back to the palace later." The eunuch replied.

Wang Ling looked at the eunuch in a trance, then thought for a moment and said, "Then pack up. When you return to the palace later, summon Duke Kangguo and Lady Zichuan to come to my place."

But the eunuch said, "Your Majesty, this is absolutely not allowed."

"Why?"

"It was because Wu Qinghui colluded with the ministers that His Majesty was furious. Your Majesty, you have just been reinstated as the Queen, so you should not hastily summon the Duke of Kangguo. Otherwise, His Majesty will misunderstand you."

Wang Ling finally came back to her senses, nodded stiffly, and said, "That's right...that's right..."

"Prepare some gifts over there first. It would be best if they can use some of the gifts for their whole family. As for the flashy things like precious jade, forget about them."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After giving the order, Wang Ling walked back to the palace.

When she was made queen by Li Longji, who had just ascended the throne, she was very happy because she thought she was the happiest woman. But knowing that she had been deposed and reinstated during this period, she was really tired.

It seems that I don't love that man that much anymore...
