The husband is the future chief [infrastructure]

Han Yi glanced at her and didn't bother with her. He knew what kind of sister this sister was.

"Have you heard all about it today?" he asked.

Han Yi came over just after the court affairs ended today, and the queen mother is still playing in the house, so she hasn't received the news yet.

She said, "What did you hear?"

"Your Majesty, why are you so ill-informed? At the court today, the old man Guo Mingzhang raised the case of the Lieyang Army again, and he wrote a letter requesting to reverse the case of the Lieyang Army!"

The empress dowager didn't feel too emotional after hearing this, "It's just a request. Even if the emperor allows a re-investigation of the case, it won't be found on us. The evidence of what happened back then has long been destroyed, and they can't find it. Brother, don't worry."

Han Yi was still uneasy, and reminded: "Above the main hall today, Guo Mingzhang brought a witness. He is the Lieutenant Feng Yi, the left forward captain of the Lieyang Army."

The queen mother couldn't sit still when she heard this. She asked, "Didn't Feng Yi die a long time ago? Why is he still alive? How much did he know about the events back then? Is there any other evidence?"

"It seems that I don't know much, but Marquis Wu'an will inevitably be investigated, and there is no other evidence yet. But empress, you can't take it lightly!"

The queen mother's tensed hands suddenly loosened a lot, "That's okay, the things that year were obviously handled by Wu Yu, he hated the Lieyang Army, even if the Lieyang Army was found out, it would be wronged , then Wu Yu can only be responsible for it, and it has nothing to do with us."

"Are you sure Wu Yu has no evidence of our participation in this matter!"

The Queen Mother hesitated for a moment: "This..."

She's really not sure.

"But he probably didn't know the truth about his sweetheart back then, otherwise he would have turned against us long ago. Even if he had any evidence about us, he probably wouldn't beat us back. After all, if he was gone, his A pair of sons and daughters have to rely on my palace to take care of them. In other words, if something happens to my palace, then Marquis Wu An is also to blame. He understands such a situation where one is prosperous and the other is damaged."

Hearing what he said, Han Yi felt a lot more at ease.

"Since you are sure about this, sister, then I can rest assured. But it's still the same sentence, don't take it lightly."

"I know this. I will send someone to keep an eye on their movements."

Not long after Han Yi returned from the Empress Dowager's palace, Lin Zhao received a secret letter.

He burned it immediately after reading it, and Jiang Ziyan asked from the side: "Good news or bad news?"

Lin Zhaodao: "Not bad, not bad. There is news from the palace that after the fall of the court today, Duke Protector Han Yi quietly went to Ci'an Palace."

"Cian'an Palace? Isn't that the Empress Dowager's bedroom? Could it be that the case of the Lieyang Army had something to do with him?"

Lin Zhao nodded, "It should be that His Majesty saw General Feng today, which made him feel uneasy."

"Is there any other news in the secret letter?"

"Nothing."

Lin Zhao pursed his lips and said towards the door after a while, "Uncle Chen."

Steward Chen had been waiting outside the door, but when he heard Shizi calling him, he quickly opened the door and walked in.

"Sir."

"Today, the emperor ordered the Third Division to conduct a thorough investigation of the Lieyang Army case. With General Feng's writing in front of him, Marquis Wu'an must be found soon. You should send someone to inform him in advance, and tell him that the time has come."

Three days later, Marquis Wu'an, who was arrested by the people of Dali Temple, went to prison for interrogation. Under the emperor's instruction, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment went to Marquis Wu'an to search it himself.

In the study of Marquis Wu'an, a letter with the same handwriting as the letter of collaborating with the enemy and treason was found. In addition, two letters were found in the secret room of his study, both of which had the empress dowager's private seal.

Moreover, what was written in this letter was nothing else but the detailed marching route of the Lieyang Army case back then, as well as a grain and grass escort map.

Even Lin Zhao didn't expect Wu Yu to have these evidences. He must have been suspicious of Wei Qi's affairs for a long time, so he has been guarding against the Queen Mother.

Now the evidence found was directly handed over to the emperor. The emperor was furious and personally sent someone to question the Queen Mother about what happened back then.

I thought this matter could be settled, but I didn't expect that the emperor's face would be ashen after he came out from the empress dowager, but he didn't punish the empress dowager.

After some inquiries, Lin Zhao found out that the Queen Mother did not admit that the seal on the letter was hers at all.

Because it is a private seal, very few people have seen it, and more than ten years have passed, these people have retired and died, and no one can prove that this private seal belongs to the Queen Mother.

This is like stepping into the door, but someone tells you that there is no key to open the door.

However, Marquis Wu'an had conclusive evidence of the crime. If it could not be proved that the Empress Dowager had something to do with this incident, then Marquis Wu'an could only be responsible for all the crimes in the end, and the Empress Dowager and Duke Huguo could rest easy from now on.

Jiang Ziyan didn't expect this situation, he said: "Is there any other way to do this? Is it true that the person who has seen the private seal can't be found?"

Lin Zhao shook his head, "Even if someone had seen it, it would have been silenced by the queen mother and Duke Huguo long ago, and after so many years, even if the queen mother still keeps the private seal, it may be difficult to find."

Jiang Ziyan sighed, and Feng Ke on the side was also a little discouraged. Things have come to this point, and it seems that they can completely seek justice for the Lieyang Army, but something went wrong when it came to the step of the Queen Mother.

If this matter can't overthrow the queen mother, then the previous promise with the emperor probably won't count. Even if the evidence received from Wu Anhou in prison can prove that the Lieyang army was framed back then, I'm afraid it can't be overthrown. What a big splash.

After all, the emperor has been targeting the queen mother from beginning to end. Only when the queen mother is overthrown will the emperor increase the punishment for this matter, and the case of Lieyang army can get the best result.

Just when everyone was worrying, an unexpected visitor came to Rong Wang's mansion.

The visitor wore a big hood and a pair of knives pinned to his waist, making him look like a stranger.

And it came in over the wall.

As soon as he came in, all the hidden guards in the palace started to intercept him, but the other party didn't intend to fight with them, with a taciturn expression like gold: "I have something to see your son."

Lin Zhao heard the sound of fighting and came out of the room. He always felt that this person's attire looked familiar, so he stopped the guard and asked, "Who are you?"

Yun Yi flew down from the high eaves and walked up to Lin Zhao.

Lin Zhao finally realized why he looked familiar, because this person's outfit was the same as that of the young master he had seen in the restaurant before.

So this person was sent by that young master?

I heard that the man was the young prince of the Yunnan Palace, and this was told to him by the old prince Rong after he came back.

After Yun Yi stood still, he took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Lin Zhao.

He said: "The little prince asked me to hand it over to you."

After speaking, he left.

Lin Zhao was a little puzzled. He had nothing to do with the legendary young prince of the Yunnan palace. It was really surprising that the other party sent someone to send a letter at this juncture.

Instructing the hidden guards not to chase again, Lin Zhao removed the wax from the envelope, opened it, and found that there was an important person's information inside.

The more he looked at it, the more frightened he became. There was no other reason, because the letter mentioned that the name of this person was He Lanxin.

As we all know, the head coach of the Lieyang Army was He Lanting. He had a young daughter who was only four years old. Could it be that he is still alive now?

Lin Zhao suddenly said after reading the letter: "Uncle Chen, hurry up and ask someone to pick up a person from a temple thirty miles away from the suburbs of Beijing. His name is Lan Xin. When you see her, tell her that the time has come." , she will go with you. You must send some good hands to cover your eyes and ears, and nothing will happen."

There is no doubt that He Lanxin is the turning point of this whole matter.

As the daughter of a criminal minister, she was only four years old, and she was secretly sent out when the Helan family was ransacked and beheaded.

At that time, she had already remembered, and she had been dormant all the time, waiting for the opportunity to rectify her father's name and reverse the case for the Lieyang Army.

He Lanxin didn't know how her identity was known to others, but the person who rescued her told her that if the time came, someone would take the initiative to find her.

So when Uncle Chen sent people to Shuiyue Temple, she was not surprised.At only 17 years old, he is so calm and admirable. It is said that the tiger father has no dog daughter, and he does have the demeanor of a general.

Not only did He Lanxin see the private seal of the empress dowager back then, she even knew the source of the private seal.

This is to mention an incident she overheard in Beijing back then. When she was young, when she was playing and followed her aunts to visit Duke Huguo's mansion, she inadvertently broke into Huguo's mansion. Outside a room in the public house.

She saw the person who engraved this private seal with her own eyes. Although she was still young at that time and it had been many years since she was a child, she had never forgotten it since she was a child. In addition, her family suffered a lot of robbery, so she remembered it even more. for clarity.

This private seal is indeed not in the Queen Mother's place now, but in the Duke Huguo's mansion.

Back then, the person who ran errands to carve the seal for the Empress Dowager was found by the Lord Protector. This person was greedy for life and feared death, and was afraid that he would be silenced, so when the Lord Protector asked him to destroy the seal, she secretly hid it and kept it for later life. symbol.

However, he never expected that before he could use this life-saving talisman, he would be murdered and silenced by the Duke Protector.

He Lanxin said: "So this private seal should still be in the Duke Protector's mansion. I'm afraid the Duke Protector himself doesn't know where it is hidden."

At this time, Zhuo Feng suddenly said: "Is the person who carved the seal you mentioned surnamed Zeng? Zeng Yong?"

He Lanxin was surprised, "How do you know?"

Zhuo Feng said: "This person is a fugitive from the Criminal Division. He defected to the Criminal Division when I was still in the Criminal Division. For this reason, Song Jie sent someone to look for him for a long time. Unexpectedly, He is hiding in the Duke Protector's Mansion."

If it's something he hid, it shouldn't be hard to find it with the thinking of Ti Xingsi.

Lin Zhaodao: "In this case, I will ask Anyi to go with you and visit Duke Huguo's mansion at night to see if he can find this private seal. If you find it, don't act rashly."

After Zhuo Feng responded, he went back to prepare, Feng Ke was worried, and turned his head to follow him.

But He Lanxin knew far more than these things. Now that he only needed to find that private seal, he would be able to justifiably search the Duke Huguo's Mansion, and there must be unexpected gains at that time.

The emperor will naturally support this move. You must know that the protector is the empress dowager's elder brother. These two people are thorns in the emperor's eyes. It's nothing at all.

Lin Zhao didn't expect Zhuo Feng to progress so smoothly. After he found out the situation of the courtyard of the Duke Huguo's mansion, he found the private seal under a tree on the third day, and it was buried in the courtyard of the Duke Huguo's wife. Under the pear tree.

Lin Zhao went into the palace non-stop to ask the emperor for an order, and brought He Lanxin with him, identified the crimes committed by the Duke Protector, and asked the Emperor to order to search the Duke Protector's mansion.

The emperor did not send Lin Zhao to go there, but sent Cheng Xu, the newly appointed Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment.

Cheng Xu was doing official business, and he didn't show the Duke Huguo any favors. After he took orders, he led people to search the Duke Huguo's mansion.

During the period, Zhuo Feng disguised himself as one of the search soldiers and led others to dig out the brocade box under the pear tree.

Protector Han Yi panted heavily on the spot and almost fainted. He was so familiar with that brocade box, it belonged to Zeng Yong back then. He never thought that he would let him destroy that private seal, but he kept it. guard against him.

Now that the empress dowager's private seal appeared here, in order to protect the empress dowager in the palace, he could only grit his teeth and admit that he wrote those letters.

But even this is useless, because in the hidden compartment of his study there are many correspondences between him and the Queen Mother who have conspired over the years.

In addition to the evidence of the Lieyang Army case, the letter also mentioned that they had conspired to frame other loyal ministers and good generals, one after another, one after another, and everything was unforgivable.

Now that the evidence of the crime is conclusive, the Queen Mother has no idea what happened outside, and she is still singing and dancing every night in her own palace.

It wasn't until the imperial guards came to arrest him that she realized that something was wrong.

The queen mother was furious: "I am the queen mother, you have no right to arrest me, call the emperor, I want to see him."

Even the imperial guards didn't listen to her at all, saying: "The empress dowager, the emperor personally ordered you to come to the Ministry of punishment, so don't make trouble for the last general."

"Shut up! I want to see the emperor, I want to see the emperor!"

The commander of the imperial guards winked at the subordinate next to him. In the past, the two stood side by side and pulled the queen mother away.

All the people in the palace were also taken away.

In the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the empress dowager was haggard, as if she had aged ten years suddenly.

Her temple hair is disheveled, her clothes are disheveled and covered with dirt, where has she suffered from such a crime?Every day she shouted at the prison door to see the emperor, but no one answered her.

After shouting for a day, she calmed down. Suddenly, the cell door next to her opened, and a handsome young man came out from inside. Although he had been in prison before, his whole body was clean. People who go around.

The jailer opened the cell door and said, "Pei Ziyong, you can go out now."

The Queen Mother looked at him with horror on her face. This is her favorite male favorite recently, not only caring for her, but also serving her thoughtfully.

At this time, he went out unscathed, and the Queen Mother realized that something was wrong.

In fact, she has never received any news from the outside. Now that she thinks about it, he might have intercepted all the incoming news and never reached her ears.

It turned out that this person was also a secret agent set by the other party.

The Queen Mother consciously treated him well, but looked at him through the cell door with eyes full of scarlet, and asked hysterically: "Why? Is this palace not good enough for you? Why did you betray this palace?"

Pei Ziyong looked at her with disdain, squatted down, and said word by word: "My surname, my surname, doesn't it sound familiar to you?"

The queen mother was startled, and then murmured: "Pei? Your surname is Pei... Your surname is Pei... Hahahahaha, so that's the case, you are from the Pei family!"

Pei Ziyong looked at her sharply and said, "Jiangyang Pei, has the queen mother completely forgotten what happened 13 years ago?"

13 years ago, Jiangyang's Pei family, Pei Qintao, was ordered to escort the Lieyang army to deliver food and grass, but he received a secret order from the Queen Mother, forcing the entire Lieyang army to sacrifice food and grass with the life of the entire clan.

After the imperial court's indictment document came down, the Pei family died under the operation of the queen mother, and the army was exiled, and the women were even sent to brothels.

Pei Ziyong was not dispatched into the army, but entered the Jiaofang Division.

Generally, as a man, at this age is a good time to study and learn, but what Pei Ziyong learns is all arty, clinging to the powerful to please others.

All his life he dreamed of revenge, so when Lin Zhao found him, he agreed immediately.

He has every chance to assassinate the Empress Dowager in the palace, but thinking about it like this would be too cheap for her, let her watch him lose everything she has, let her suffer slowly until she dies, this is the only way to relieve his heart hate.

After Pei Ziyong left, the Empress Dowager leaned against the wall of the cell like a ball suddenly deflated, and her eyes, which were always bright and bright, were extremely cloudy at this moment. She had worked hard for half her life. The emperor took it.

After so many years of planning, but in the end it fell short, she was really not reconciled.

After the Empress Dowager and Duke Hu Guo were imprisoned, the emperor began to reshuffle the cards in the court. Officials who were originally part of the Empress Dowager's party were dispatched to remote areas one after another under the pretext of the emperor, and those who found conclusive evidence of crime were directly imprisoned.

It is not yet February, and the spring is about to begin. This is a good opportunity for the emperor to cultivate his wings, and use this scientific examination to select talents to fill the vacancies in the court.

The truth about the Lieyang Army case was completely revealed. The emperor announced to the world, clarified the truth of the incident back then, and additionally named He Lanting the Marquis of Zhen Guo, enjoying the title of super first-rank title, hereditary replacement, and returning He Lanting's original General's Mansion. He Lanxin, the orphan of Helanting, was granted the title of Princess Helan as compensation.

However, the man has passed away, and He Lanxin is the only one left in the entire Helan Mansion, and hereditary titles are useless. As a daughter, she cannot inherit the title. There was no way she could make up for the pain of losing a loved one.

Now it is the best result to be able to rectify the name of his father and Lieyang Army.

Marquis Wu An was the fuse that led to the Empress Dowager. Ever since the eldest princess learned what had happened, she collapsed on the seat.

Overnight, her favorite mother and his uncle were all imprisoned, and her child's father was also in prison, and was even the culprit who exposed her mother. She didn't expect that after so many years of husband and wife, he would be so cruel , regardless of the feelings of husband and wife, and the feelings and opinions of their children.
