The Regent makes me unstoppable [Transmigration Book]

July is when the weather is at its hottest, and it has been more than a month since Gu Min returned to Beijing. Civil and military officials are also used to the days when the emperor retreats to the deep palace and the regent handles the government affairs. In fact, everyone knows that the regent and the emperor It's basically a "collusion", Dongchang, Jinyiwei, Liufanmen, and the cabinet are all obedient to the emperor's order. Rather than saying that the regent controls the government, it is better to say that he is a puppet placed by the emperor in the court.

With such a puppet in the front, unless the emperor summons, the ministers may not see the emperor for a few years. Spit in the air, point fingers, right?

The situation in the court has stabilized, and the rebellious vassal kings such as King Huai and King Xin and their families have all been escorted back to Beijing. when.

One morning, in the Yin Yamen of the capital city, the guards heard someone beating drums outside the yamen to express their grievances. When they went out, they saw that the person playing the drums was an old nun in a monk’s robe. The guards asked her what she had wronged. Thinking of the old nun's answer, the guards were startled, and hurriedly took the old nun in to report to the governor.

The old nun claimed that she used to be the court lady of the Emperor Gaozong's abolished Xu family. Back then, the abolished empress and the abolished prince cursed Gaozong with the technique of disgusting victory. In fact, she was framed. In the palace of the abolished empress, the person who bought her was none other than Guo Jiuchen, the eunuch who once stood beside Emperor Gaozong!

The old nun also said that Guo Jiuchen would have killed her when she found out about the incident. Fortunately, there was a guard in the palace who was her relative. With the help of the guard, she hid in the waterwheel and sneaked out of the palace.

But she was afraid that Guo Jiuchen would continue to hunt her down, so she didn't dare to go back to her hometown to meet her relatives. She wandered out alone, hiding in Tibet, and suffered a lot. Repenting before the Buddha, he finally couldn't bear the condemnation of his conscience and decided to tell the truth about the unjust case to the public.

After listening to the old nun's self-report, Fu Yin tentatively asked her some questions about the palace. The old nun answered all the questions fluently. Contempt, and quickly reported the matter to the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple.

The Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple were also taken aback when they received the report. Many officials have witnessed the case of abolishing the crown prince's conspiracy more than ten years ago. There are countless officials and family members. If this case that caused a sensation in the government and the public turned out to be an unjust case, then the current court must be turned upside down!

Although the case was difficult, the Secretary of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and the Minister of Dali Temple did not dare to conceal it, and immediately ordered someone to send a message to the Regent's Palace, asking Gu Min to discuss how to deal with this matter.

Gu Min naturally knew that someone would go to the yamen to beat the drums this morning to complain, and he had been waiting for them to report.

And the old nun's surrender was arranged by Ling Qingheng. Back then, because Ling Qingheng was young and weak, he was raised in a Taoist temple to escape the disaster of his family. Later, he lurked in the capital and found out that Guo Jiuchen had been ordering people secretly all these years. Looking for a maid who served in the abandoned harem back then, he guessed that the maid was most likely related to the case back then. In the end, Ling Qingheng found the old maid in a nunnery first through Jianghu forces.

Before going to the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment, Gu Min went to Beizhen Fusi.

For the past three years, Guo Jiuchen has been imprisoned in the sky prison of the Imperial Prison. Shen Ying ordered someone to put heavy shackles on Guo Jiuchen and put him in an iron cage. He atones for the evil he has done all these years.

The sky prison of the Imperial Prison is underground, like a dry well, and you need to put a rope from it to get down. The place inside is small, dark and humid, and the sun is out of sight all year round. Being locked up in such a dark place for a long time is really worse than life die.

Gu Min went down to the sky prison and ordered people to light up the lamps on the wall, so he could see the situation in the sky prison clearly. Guo Jiuchen was locked in an iron cage that was only one person tall. You can't lie down, you can only curl up on the ground, let alone a beggar on the street, it is worse than a livestock kept in a shanty.

Guo Jiuchen in the iron cage is disheveled and ragged. I don't know if he would have thought that he would end up like this when he framed Empress Xu and Prince Zhaohuai in the past.

Gu Min looked at Guo Jiuchen from a distance who was neither human nor ghost in the iron cage, and said calmly, "Guo Daban, long time no see."

Guo Jiuchen slowly raised his head, looked straight at Gu Min, and let out a hoarse and strange laugh, "Our family expected that you must not be dead, otherwise, the dog emperor would not have kept our family here for so many years I really didn't expect that after playing with eagles for many years, I was finally pecked in the eyes by eagles, but the matter has come to this point, winners and losers, our family recognizes, you want to kill or cut, hurry up!"

Gu Min laughed, walked closer with his hands behind his back, and said coldly, "Don't worry, you deserved to die. Back then, Prince Zhaohuai found out that you were corrupt and perverted the law, and impeached you against Emperor Gaozong. After you found out, you held a grudge." , Worried that the crown prince will liquidate you when he succeeds in the future, so he joined forces with Empress Dowager Liu, King Huai, and King Xin to plan to slander the crown prince for treason. Can you count how many people's blood has been stained on your hands? Is it not easy to die? When the grievances of those killed by you are cleared, I will naturally escort you to their graves and cut you into pieces to comfort their spirits in heaven!"

Guo Jiuchen sneered and turned his head away, as if he didn't care what Gu Min said.

Gu Min didn't care about his reaction, and continued: "But before that, I want you to go to the Ministry of Punishments, and explain clearly one by one the evil deeds you have done over the years, and tell the world carefully. .”

Guo Jiuchen laughed outrageously. "If our family doesn't talk about it, what can you do with our family? You want our family to help you identify the Empress Dowager, King Huai, and King Xin, right? Our family doesn't like what you want. They are going to die anyway. To make you happy?"

Gu Min lowered his head, turned his wrist, and said solemnly: "It doesn't really matter whether you say it or not. Over the years, the evidence I have collected is already enough to prove the crime you committed, but it doesn't matter if you don't want to say it. I'll go Find the Queen Mother."

Then Guo Jiuchen panicked, moved his body and grabbed the bars of the iron cage, and the iron chains on his body made harsh noises, "How dare you! You are just a courtier, how dare you dare to interrogate the Queen Mother!"

"Do you think the queen mother's situation in the palace these years is much better than yours in the prison?" Gu Min mocked, "One emperor and one courtier, she has been trapped in the Shou'an Palace for so many years, do you think the situation inside and outside the palace is much better?" How many people still think of her as the queen mother? If you explain it yourself, maybe the emperor can let the queen mother continue to spend her life in the Shouan Palace in order to preserve the royal face, but if you don't want to say it, then I We can only invite the queen mother out and let her speak, Guo Jiuchen, you should think carefully."

Guo Jiuchen sat slumped on the ground, like a mountain collapsing, not only his body, but also his final will was completely crushed, muttering: "I say... I say...you can say whatever you want to hear me, as long as Please don't hurt the Queen Mother..."

Gu Min pulled his lower lip silently, and commanded his followers in a cold voice: "Come here, take Guo Jiuchen to the Ministry of Punishment!"

—

Gu Min took Guo Jiuchen to the Ministry of Punishment. In front of the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and the Minister of Dali Temple, Guo Jiuchen explained how he joined forces when he knew that the prince's enthronement would affect his status. The vassal princes designed to frame Empress Xu and the prince together and revealed everything.

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice and the Minister of Dali Si took a deep breath after hearing this, and were shocked. They have been officials for decades, and they have never handled such a big case in their life. The wronged person is not only the mother of a country, the prince, There are the chief minister of the cabinet and the Duke of the state. Any one of these people is an important figure, but they all died at the hands of an eunuch. This is really an eunuch misusing the country!

Because the case involved a lot and was horrifying, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment and the Minister of Dali Temple together immediately went to the palace to ask the Holy Spirit, so that the emperor could make up his mind.

Shen Ying summoned them in the study, and after hearing the ins and outs of the matter from the Minister of Criminal Affairs, she just pretended not to know, and Long Yan was furious, and jumped up against the case, saying: "I didn't expect Guo Jiuchen, King Huai, and King Xin He did such insane things for his own selfish desires, harmed my elder brother and mother, Xu Shoufu and Shu Guogong's family, let me investigate, I must thoroughly investigate the truth! Give justice to the victims!"

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice took the opportunity to say: "Then please ask the emperor to appoint a presiding judge. After all, this case involves the royal family, and this person must be able to convince the public."

Shen Ying didn't understand the meaning of the Minister of Criminal Affairs, the old case was full of clues, how could it be so easy to investigate, Shangshu of the Criminal Ministry, an old fox, was worried that he would be punished if he did not do well, so he was anxious to blame him.

Shen Ying pretended to think for a while, and then said: "Then let the regent be the presiding judge."

Both old foxes breathed a sigh of relief, and said in unison: "The emperor is wise!"

After the two left, Shen Ying pretended to be Xuan Gu Min and went to the palace to discuss with him about reversing the case for the crown prince and Xu Shu's family.

The sky in summer is the most changeable. It started to thunder and rain before Gu Min entered the palace, but when he entered the palace, the rain suddenly stopped.

Shen Ying stayed in Yongle Palace for a day, the weather was sunny after the rain, and it wasn't too hot outside, so she took Gu Min to the Imperial Garden for a walk to exercise her body.

The two wandered aimlessly in the imperial garden, and the eunuchs, maids and guards followed far behind.

Shen Ying casually admired the colorful flowers in the garden, and said to Gu Min who was beside him: "I have already told the people at the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Criminal Justice about overturning the case for the former prince and others, and I asked you to preside over the trial. I don't feel at ease when people come to investigate, I'm afraid that the officials will protect each other and the investigation will not be thorough."

Gu Min agreed: "I understand, I also think so."

Shen Ying stopped and turned to look at him seriously, "It's just that, if you admit that you are Xu Wenjie's son in the future, I'm afraid it will cause criticism."

Gu Min is now in a high position, and in the eyes of others, he monopolizes the power. If people know that he is a descendant of the Xu family, some people who like to gossip may slander Gu Min for using the power in his hands to benefit himself. The family overturned the case, so even if the Xu family's grievances were cleared, everyone would not be convinced.

Gu Min smiled lightly, and said calmly: "It's okay, as long as the wronged person can be avenged, it doesn't matter even if I don't recognize my ancestors and return to my clan for the rest of my life." To take revenge, I have done many wrong things against my will, if people know that I am the son of Xu Wenjie, I am afraid it will insult the Xu family's innocence."

"How could that be!" Shen Ying raised her hand and patted Gu Min's shoulder, not allowing him to underestimate himself, "Don't think so, you have worked so hard to clear the grievances of your family, your parents know it well, and they will definitely regard you as an honor." proud!"

Gu Min looked deeply at Shen Ying, nodded, and said with a relieved smile: "Anyway, in the eyes of others, the entire Xu family has been destroyed. It doesn't matter whether there are any descendants of the Xu family."

After all, while the palace people behind were not paying attention, Gu Min quietly took Shen Ying's hand, and said in a voice that only he and Shen Ying could hear: "In the first half of my life, as the son of the Xu family, I have always been Living in hatred, I only want to live for revenge and revenge for my family, but in the days to come, apart from status, I just want to be with you forever."

Shen Ying smiled and pursed her lips, and the two held hands tightly hidden in their wide sleeves. Suddenly, out of the corner of her eyes, she noticed a gorgeous rainbow appeared in the sky, so she raised her finger to the sky to signal Gu Min to look up.

"Look, today looks like it's unprecedentedly clear."
