Chapter 567 Nothing to do with good or bad

Accompanied by the eunuch, Xue Yan, the minister of Dali Temple, walked out of the East Warehouse Pavilion and walked up the slanting corridor.

At this time, the snow outside the slanting corridor was already heavy. The earth was covered with silver and the lacquer paintings under the palace were colorful. The scenery in the winter palace was very beautiful.

Xue Yan had no intention of enjoying the scenery.

He was still thinking about the errands that the Lord had just given him.The emperor wanted to find out the truth about the death of the late emperor... Xue Yan was very clear and had no doubts about it.

Now the imperial government army is defeated!

The Hong Xi Dynasty was about to collapse, and I am afraid that the emperor must have a clear idea of ​​this; so in all the helplessness, the emperor's thoughts finally returned to the starting point: the reason for the Han King's uprising.

In the past, the imperial court did not need to worry about the excuse of raising an army to fight against rebellion.

There are already people on the throne, and the vassal kings are rebellion!

To reason cannot truly solve the problem, and it is the main thing to suppress the rebellion and destroy the rebellion.

But now the court cannot destroy the rebels, and it has to be destroyed in turn!When you really can't win, reasoning becomes the only choice.

At this time, Xue Yan judged that the death of the late emperor had nothing to do with the emperor.

Otherwise, it would be meaningless for the Lord to do this.The suspicion of the former officials of the Eastern Palace is not very high. Those officials are not that brave, and the emperor should not have conspired with him today.

Therefore, Xue Yan believes that someone who commits a heinous crime should have someone else...

Once the truth about the death of the late emperor and the convincing truth and making it public to the world, it will be beneficial to the emperor in great justice!

At that time, the emperor was not at fault; and as the crown prince and eldest son, he succeeded the throne without any dispute. The emperor's throne was so legal that it could not be more legal!

Unless the verdict is reversed by Emperor Jianwen, the candidates of Emperor Ming Dynasty and the rituals of the current emperor must be the saints of the current rituals.

If things come to that point, Xue Yan's way to King Han is to abdicate... After all, after the King of Han takes up the throne, he still needs to be aware of the great righteousness; in order to avoid the embarrassing situation of his edicts and bad reputations.

Although the principle of abdication is very reluctant, it always has its origins. At least when interpreting the origin of the throne of the Han king, there is something to say.

So at that time, the King of Han captured the capital of the Ming Dynasty with force and forced the Emperor to abdicate, and he might not dare to kill the Emperor and the family of the Emperor.

If the King of Han did those things, everyone in the world would accuse him of being cruel and ruthless; abdication seemed too fake!

Xue Yan pondered: Even if the King of Han is very brave and acts unreasonable, he will eliminate the whole family.At least the emperor does not have to bear the charge of killing the monarch and killing his father!

This kind of crime is so crazy that it will never tolerate it in the world. The emperor will not know what it will be insulted by the world in the future...

So Xue Yan understood the emperor's thoughts clearly.The most doubtful thing about Xue Yan is that he is considering himself!

Before, in the East Warehouse, the emperor suddenly issued an order to give Xue Yan this job, and Xue Yan did not answer very well.

He suddenly realized: This incident would offend the King of Han.

In this situation, if it weren’t for the one who would never doubt his death, who would have been willing to offend the King of Han easily?

But the imperial edict cannot be disobeyed, so Xue Yan can only accept the edict.

Deep in his heart, he was always full of curiosity and desire for the truth; such an important event made him even more shaking.

Xue Yan believed the words that the emperor said before, "It is famous for its history and has been passed down through the ages!"

It is impossible for history to not record such major events, but the person who found out the truth was Xue Yan, who would of course leave his name in the history books.

Want a name or die?This is something that Xue Yan has been thinking about for a long time and is still wandering around.

However, after thinking for a long time, he suddenly felt that even if he investigated this matter, he might not die!He felt that he had two reasons not to die.

First, he is the matchmaker of the King of Han’s legitimate concubine. By then, the family of the father-in-law Guo’s family will rise to the sky. Will the Guo family not think of some solutions for Xue Yan?

Secondly, Xue Yan suddenly remembered Xia Yuanji.

This man has been an official since the reign of Emperor Taizu and was valued during the Jianwen period. The wrong position of the station cannot be wrong anymore. Moreover, after the Jingnan Battle, Xia Yuanji did not surrender at first!

He was caught in front of Emperor Yongle and was forced to surrender.

Such a person was unscathed in the bloody early years of Yongle and was promoted to office!As for civil servants who did not surrender like Xia Yuanji, most of the ends of the situation are very miserable and those who were not killed are considered good!

Xue Yan believes that the only reason why people like Xia Yuanji can survive is that Xia Yuanji has real skills in the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue!The emperor, who was as cruel as the last emperor, was reluctant to kill talents.

If Xue Yan can find out the truth and offend the King of Han; then he admits his mistakes and finds excuses such as not violating the imperial edict... and he has proved his ability in criminal law, it is possible to be tolerated and forgive.

Xue Yan felt that it was worth it to risk his life to keep his reputation for the eternal period!

At this time, Haitao sent Xue Yan to the Ganqing Palace Gate. After leaving the Ganqing Gate, it was no longer a harem area.So Haitao stood in the gatehouse and said with a tribute: Xue Siqing walks slowly, and our family will be here.

Xue Yan bowed politely: I'm fine, Eunuch Hai.

Haitao hurriedly held the whisk and bowed again.

Xue Yan walked out of the Ganqing Gate and saw that the snow in the sky was getting heavier and heavier.

He stood in the snow, and had already firmly determined his mind, so he stood up and looked up at the sky. At this time, he looked proud and said in a long voice: The net of heaven is vast and sparse but not leaking!

Haitao behind him observed Xue Yan with great interest.

...The Kunning Palace in the palace stands quietly on the base among the flying snowflakes.

Zhang sat upright on the throne above Kunning Palace. Her arms spread out and her robe sleeves were placed on both sides of the armrests of the wide chair. She sat very domineeringly, and she looked at everything around her coldly.

The heavy and luxurious palace, the faintly shining silk curtains hanging low, and the carved windows are as fine as picturesque.

Elegant and white snowflakes float outside the window. The palace in winter is not only not cold, but also has no sense of bleakness. The colorful paints make everything not boring.

However, the gorgeous environment did not make Zhang happy.Her pale color and her eyes were filled with hostility.

Because no matter how good the palace in the Ming Dynasty was, these things would soon not belong to her!

Zhang recalled the hardships he suffered for years and the hardships he had endured to this current status.

I finally got everything, but unexpectedly I would be taken away by someone!

The anger and unwillingness in her heart were simply nowhere to be revealed.

At this moment, the hall gate was lifted and Prince Zhu Zhanji walked in.

Zhanji's true year is over ten years old and twelve years old, and he has completely grown into a young and half-old boy.

Although his face was still a little childish, he was already familiar with the etiquette and said, "My son is paying homage to the queen."

Zhang looked at Zhan Ji, his anger subsided a little, and more sadness and heartache suddenly surged into his heart.She stretched out her hand with a love affair and said, "Come to the queen of mother."

Yes, mother.Zhanji walked over very obediently, and he was much more sensible than before.

Zhang stretched out his hand and stroked Zhanji's face. He saw that he had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looked a little similar to his grandfather, but he looked different from his father's face.

She looked at her son while sighing in a complicated mood.

Zhanji raised his head and said angrily: Did the Second Emperor make you angry?When the son minister has great power, he must find a lot of charges for the hateful uncle and burn him to death!The son minister wanted to kill his whole family and all his followers, and then select the civil servants in the court who spoke lies openly to study history, compile more anecdotes as historical books, so that he could be infamous for thousands of years!I can vent my anger for my mother.

Who taught you?Zhang asked.

Zhanji stammered and couldn't answer.

Zhang didn't want to ask too much, but he understood that some people would definitely teach him these words, otherwise the teenagers would not be so meticulous in their thinking.

She stroked her son's face and said: Zhanji is filial, and it's not wrong.That person has nothing to do with good or bad, but is too capable, and living is a threat.You think so, it doesn’t matter whether it’s good or bad, it’s just for the firm status of your family…

Speaking of this, Zhang returned to reality; she looked at her dearest relatives, and her heart was filled with helplessness and heartache again.

As a mother, she watched her son, who was originally precious, lose everything, and was worried and afraid of Zhanji's life. Zhang's heart was as if he was a knife!

After a while, the eunuch of the Sili Prison, Haitao, entered.Haitao stepped forward and said, "I have met the Empress and the Great Prince."After saying that, he bowed and stood beside him.

Zhang said to Zhu Zhanji a little reluctantly: You go down.The mother said a few words to Haitao.

Zhanji respectfully said: My son is obeying the imperial edict.

Haitao stepped forward and leaned over to Zhang and whispered a few words.

After hearing this, Zhang pressed his palm on the handrail and gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: Zhang Fu, Liu Sheng and others are so ungrateful!The emperor did not issue an order to punish the nine clans?The emperor is too kind and ruthless!

Haitao hurriedly said: Immortal, I'm calming down, this is because no one advises the emperor. The ministers only hated each other behind their backs, but they didn't come forward to make any suggestions, for fear of offending the rebel king too much; only Commander Tan asked for an order for everyone. The emperor only issued an order to arrest the prisoners and imprison them... and those people were from noble families. Commander Tan did not dare to do anything without the emperor's imperial edict.

Zhang frowned and whispered: He told General Tan not to give them food, and they were starved to death in the imperial prison!

Haitao said: I will bring my mother's words to you. Commander Tan dares to do it, but it's hard to say...

Zhang calmed down a little and said: Let General Tan deal with Liu Sheng's family.

Haitao worshipped: I obey the order.

Haitao said softly again: The emperor issued an order to ask Dali Temple Minister Xue Yan, Jinyiwei Commander Tan Qing, and I maid to secretly investigate the death of the late emperor.

oh? Zhang nodded and soon became ecstatic. She was thinking about something and didn't say anything for a long time.

When Zhang came to his senses and saw that Haitao was still by his side, he waved his hand gently: What does the Lord ask you to do, you can do it well.
