After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

There was a hint of suspicion and then a hint of disbelief in his eyes.

He looked over and over again, not missing any details on the safety lock.

Lu Yuan took in his expression and thought that the things given by the retired emperor were indeed related to the Prince of Qin's Palace.

There were a few moments when he doubted the authenticity of this thing.

He once thought that the purpose of the emperor should be to deal with Qianji Pavilion.

The bloody incidents at General Shang's Mansion and Prince Chu's Mansion were both closely related to Qianji Pavilion.

The retired emperor hated Qianji Pavilion no less than he and Meng Qianqian.

In order to lure him into dealing with Qianji Pavilion, the old fox, the retired emperor, might really make a fake token and push him into the open.

After careful consideration, he did not take out a token whose authenticity was unknown.

Now that the dust has settled and his great revenge has been achieved, he is not worried about being caught by the Qianji Pavilion, so he thinks it would be okay to try in front of his royal grandfather.

Look at the result of this test, is the peace lock really a token of trust?

Emperor Liang frowned and asked, "Where did you get this?"

"It was given by the Emperor Emeritus of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

Lu Yuan told the truth, "He asked me to bring this item to visit an old friend in the Qin Palace."

"Old friend? Your great-grandfather?"

Emperor Liang murmured.

Although he and the retired emperor of the Great Zhou were of the same generation, they had no connection. However, his father had traveled to the Great Zhou when he was young.

"Did the Great Zhou Emperor tell me who this thing came from?"

he asked.

Lu Yuan shook his head: "No, Grandfather, is it really from the Qin Palace?"

Emperor Liang tightened the safety lock in his hand: "Yes."

After Hu Lie was defeated, calls for the punishment of the Hu family became increasingly loud. In the court, some people wanted to protect the Hu family, while others wanted to impeach the Hu family. The ministers quarreled with each other every day.

In the past, Emperor Liang would have quelled the voices of opposition long ago. However, this time, Emperor Liang closed his court for three days and left the investigation and evidence collection to the Crown Prince.

I thought the prince was gentle and kind, but I never expected that his methods were so fierce and decisive that all the civil and military officials in the court were dumbfounded.

He wiped out the roots without mercy, and everyone seemed to see the young Emperor Liang.

Who said that Prince Jin was the son who inherited the most authentic teachings from Emperor Liang?

It's obviously the prince!

Although Hu Lie is dead, the crimes he and the Hu family committed are too numerous to list.

The prince presented the evidence he had collected to the court, and the three judges held a joint trial, with the intention of completely destroying the Hu family.

Hu Lie was beheaded by Han Qi of the Black Armor Army, which was considered a case of beheading first and reporting later.

In the minds of the Hu family, it is impossible for Emperor Liang to be so heartless to the Hu family.

They hoped that His Majesty would reject the Crown Prince's memorial, but after waiting for a long time, they only received an imperial decree to confiscate their property and exterminate their clan.

The Hu family was completely panicked.

Qinzheng Hall.

Emperor Liang was reading the memorial presented by the crown prince when Xiao Dezi reported: The Hu family wants to see you.

Emperor Liang flipped through a memorial indifferently and said, "No."

Xiao Dezi looked at Eunuch Yu for help.

Eunuch Yu's eyes moved, and he lightly rebuked: "Your Majesty has already said that he will not meet with the Hu family. Who is so blind?"

Xiao Dezi hurriedly said, "It was an elder of the Hu family. He said... when your Majesty was a child, he changed your diapers."

His voice lowered in the end. The Hu family dared to say such treasonous words, but he didn't dare to spread them.

Eunuch Yu looked towards Emperor Liang inconspicuously.

Emperor Liang closed the memorial and said, "Announce it."

The elders of the Hu family were brought before the emperor.

He was a little older than Emperor Liang and was already in his octogenarian years. He walked unsteadily and needed the support of his children and grandchildren.

If it wasn't a matter of life and death for the entire Hu family, he wouldn't have gone through so much trouble.

"Grassman..."

He immediately saluted Emperor Liang.

Emperor Liang glanced at the old and frail Hu family elder and told his children and grandchildren, "You leave first."

The two did not dare to hesitate and retreated obediently.

This elder of the clan was truly pitiful; he had long been unable to take care of himself, yet he was dragged before the emperor to save the day.

Eunuch Yu stood beside him.

He staggered forward two steps, and finally knelt down with difficulty: "Your Majesty... The Hu family is guilty!"

Emperor Liang snorted coldly: "Since you know you are guilty, you should be punished."

The elder of the Hu family was stunned when he heard Emperor Liang's cold words.

"His Majesty!"

Emperor Liang ignored him.

Eunuch Yu poured Emperor Liang a cup of hot tea.

The elder of the Hu family asked with great sorrow: "Your Majesty, are you really going to treat the Hu family like this? The Hu family is the mother's family of the Queen Mother! How can the Queen Mother rest in peace in the underworld if Your Majesty does this?"

Emperor Liang asked coldly, "Is it that my mother cannot rest in peace, or is it that you, the Hu family, are afraid of death?"

The old man of the Hu family choked.

After a long while, he finally found his voice: "Your Majesty, when the late emperor was alive, he left a will that the Hu family would never be touched. Your Majesty, do you want to disobey the late emperor's order?"

As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something, and he laughed at himself, "Since your majesty had the eldest grandson, his temperament has changed drastically, and he is no longer the same as before. I didn't believe it at first, but after seeing him today, I know that the rumors are true. I don't know what kind of magic potion the eldest grandson gave your majesty to make you kill your own grandfather's family!"

Emperor Liang looked at him calmly: "Is Hu Sheng really my grandfather?"

Hu Sheng, the biological father of Empress Dowager Hu.

The Hu family elder met Emperor Liang's sharp gaze and his heart was shocked.

Emperor Liang flipped through the memorial in his hand and said, "I will definitely copy the Hu family. As for whether I can save a few lives, it depends on how much you know, elders."

The Hu family elder: "But someone is talking nonsense in front of your majesty——"

Before he finished speaking, Emperor Liang took out the safety lock that Lu Yuan gave him.

Eunuch Yu took the safety lock and handed it to the elder of the Hu family.

The elders of the Hu family were confused.

Then Eunuch Yu took out the second one.

The Hu family elder's expression changed.

Eunuch Yu advised meaningfully: "Elder, you better confess and suffer less."

Hu Jia fell to the ground weakly.

His mind went back to many years ago, when he was just a child under ten years old.

Logically, at his age, he should have forgotten his childhood memories, and in fact, he hadn't thought about them for many years.

But when it was mentioned suddenly, he realized that the scenes were so fresh in his memory.

The first time he followed his father to the Prince of Qin's Palace, he saw the Prince of Qin returning on horseback with a woman in plain clothes sitting on the horse's back.

"Mother, fairy!"

He pointed at the woman and said.

His mother covered his mouth and said, "Shh, don't talk nonsense."

Later, he learned from his parents' conversation that the Prince of Qin went south to quell the rebellion and married a wife among the people.

But the King of Qin did not agree to this marriage.

Just because he had agreed to the marriage with the Hu family early on.

A common woman is far less valuable than the Hu family's legitimate daughter.

Later, he went to the Prince of Qin's Mansion several times, but he never saw the woman again.

Legend has it that she disappeared.

It is also said that the Prince of Qin turned against his father in order to find her, and left the southwest, where he was gone for two years.
