On the city wall, Yu Ting was dead, and without their leader, the rebels were in chaos. The Huaizhou army took advantage of the situation to attack, leaving the city gates wide open. Su Juan led his men and rushed towards the imperial city.
At this time, in the imperial city, the palace people were in danger. The imperial guards had strict control over the palace and were still searching for the whereabouts of the queen and others. However, because Yu Ting had not returned yet, people were worried and did not know what had happened.
Su Juan stood on a tall horse, outside the palace gate, and shouted in a cold voice, "Palace guards, listen up! Yu Ting and Song Qianfan have been executed for treason. Those guards who are unaware of this should surrender immediately. Anyone who continues to cause trouble will be killed without mercy!"
The rebels had all been brought to justice. Seeing Su Juan leading people to search for the remaining rebels, Shi Yuan could not help but sigh at what he had just seen on the city wall, "I never thought that Your Highness, as a woman, would be so skilled in archery."
Xie Xun also sighed, "That's right, I really don't know if she is hiding her skills or if her archery skills are getting better and better."
Although he was discussing Su Juan, Shi Yuan was eyeing Xie Xun. "You are quite skilled in martial arts, and you are a good candidate. If you have the chance, would you like to serve in my camp?"
Xie Xun was slightly stunned, then laughed, "General Shi, please don't joke with me. I can't stand being teased."
Even though there are people who admire me, this man named Shi is well-known for not getting along with the old man in my family. If I really go to his place and the old man finds out, he will skin me alive.
Shi Yuan patted his shoulder heavily and said, "This general never jokes. Think about it yourself. If you have a better future with His Highness, I won't force you."
After all, the previous news about Princess Jinyang's fall from power now seems to be no longer a rumor. That person works for Princess Yan Hao, and his future career will definitely be worse than when he was with himself.
Yan Haojie: "Why are you all looking at me? Is there anything I can do to stop you?"
The prince took a look at the Marquis of Pingbo and the Minister of Justice beside him and coughed heavily, "So, my grandson is just a donator of money and a spendthrift, right?"
Shi Yuan narrowed his eyes, "This is even more necessary to bring people here."
Shi Yuan: "Why do you think he looks so familiar? It turns out he is my son, Xie Yu'an."
Because Shangshu Wu was plotting treason, all members of the Yu family were thrown into jail. Our colleagues, who had never spoken or laughed with us, were imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice's jail because they had nothing to do with the rebels.
For now, Princess Xie Xun is safe.
General Shi turned around and walked away, stroking his beard and thinking for a moment, "There are not many people with the surname Xie in the capital."
Minister of Justice: “…”
The prince walked in front, smiling, "So, is it wrong for you to call your nephew a grandson?"
During those seventy days or so, we were really hunting, eating meat and drinking in Huating Mountain, and we were living a leisurely life. Who could have thought that we would hear about such a small incident in the capital on our way back to Beijing.
"After this matter is over, I plan to enthrone Yan Hao as the crown prince. What do you think, my dear ministers?"
It is said that on the day she entered the capital to quell the rebellion, Princess Xie Xun almost shot her own father to death. She was truly cruel.
As I was talking, I suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Jinyang, "By the way, brother, I haven't asked him yet, what's his name?"
The main thing is that big brother. He looks really familiar to me, but I just don’t like him.
Wouldn't that make Xie Yu'an so angry that he would die?
They are all fools. The emperor also mentioned the Pei family case that caused the quarrel between the grandfather and grandson. Now he actually allowed Princess Xie Xun to re-investigate. At this time, all the ministers have guessed that the so-called betrayal and conspiracy with the rebels are clearly not a show put on by His Majesty and the princess.
"But is that so? Even you and others admire me."
…
Everyone present was talking at once, and they saw that the situation was already determined. If they asked for trouble from Princess Xie Xun, it would be a bad thing, and it would be the same if they asked for trouble from the Crown Prince.
"You are really far behind."
On hand: ""
The ministers were discussing this and thought that Princess Xie Xun had lost power. However, at that critical moment, Shangshu Jing Wu rebelled. Yu Ting could have avoided a worse fate, but he chose to join the rebellion and now has implicated his entire family. How stupid he is.
That old guy remembered one sentence for so long.
Those junior officials were already feeling guilty, and they all echoed, "Princess Xie Xun is not only smart, but also deeply trusted by His Majesty. The Duke is so unlucky."
Those who held a neutral stance that day all exclaimed: Princess Xie Xun's somersault was so beautiful.
Shi Yuan: "Remember, if he wants to do something bad, he will come to you."
Yu Zhong looked at the scene behind him and recalled the day they parted in Xuzhou. He smiled and said, "Now in the capital, there is no one else who can compete with you."
He nodded repeatedly: Yes, yes, yes, he is not the son of your former enemy.
Shangshu Jing Wu plotted treason, and his accomplice, Deputy Commander of the Imperial Guards Yu Yidi, was killed. Prince Jing's mansion and all members of Yu's family were imprisoned in a small prison.
Jinyang: "Your last name is Xie, and your given name is Xun. General Shi can just call you Jinyang."
"Yeah yeah……"
The ones who were missing had very bad personal relationships with the Jingwang Mansion, the Yu family, and the Mei family. At that time, they felt guilty and were afraid of being implicated, so they were slow to express their loyalty.
…
Several people looked at each other and then looked at the Duke Ping of the Ministry of Rites, who had never had a feud with Su Juan, wanting to know what Yan Haojie would say at that time.
The old emperor summoned the Minister of the Central Secretariat and the Ministry of Rites. He had not been worried when he was at Huating Mountain, as he could eat meat. But now that he had returned to the capital, he saw that the girl had handled everything perfectly. He was very nervous at that time.
Su Juan also took the opportunity to clean up the treacherous officials in the court who sided with Song Qianfan, and also uncovered many corrupt officials who were committing corruption and committing crimes.
In front of all the civil and military officials, the emperor handed over the matter to Princess Xie Xun, and asked the relevant people to report to you before making a conviction. Even the Pei family's case of treason was handed over to you, and ordered the officials of the Ministry of Justice to cooperate with you.
The general and the prince had fought together at the frontier in the past, and everyone knew that the two of them were very acquainted with each other.
Ping Bohou: "..."
"How many noble men in the capital are there who are as charming and kind-hearted as Princess Xie Xun?"
Before going to court, Su Juan invited Yu Zhong to go to the Ministry of Justice's small prison for interrogation. The bad guys slowly caught up with Su Juan and flattered him again.
"Your Highness is so old that he has no such achievements. He does not have the demeanor of the Duke in his youth."
The more I look at that grandson, the more satisfied I am with him. I can still remember my doubts when I first learned that the person was Su Juan.
At the same time, the Minister of Justice also returned to the capital and reported everything. The mastermind behind the robbery of the relief funds that day was Shangshu Jing Wu, and evidence had been found along with several officials who were accomplices.
When everything in the capital was settled, the old emperor returned to the capital leisurely with all the officials escorted by Yan Zheng.
It turns out that it is true to protect yourself. It doesn't matter if you invite bad luck, as long as you offend someone.
Some bad guys secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was Princess Yan Hao's birthday that day. If we were stupid enough to do such a thing, it would be me who would suffer at that time.
The man beside him coughed heavily and reminded, "General, the prince of the prince's mansion is called Jinyang."
The prince spoke with pride, and even looked at the minor officials around him.
A small number of people were confused. Princess Xie Xun was now a hero who quelled the rebellion and was the only bloodline of the current emperor. Any rumors about her being adopted by a royal family member were mostly false.
