In the court.
"If you have something to report, please do so. If not, please leave the court!"
After the chief eunuch Zhao Chong stood up and shouted this sentence, Xiao Lichen was the first to sit in a wheelchair and come to the center of the hall.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"
He handed the written memorial to Zhao Chong with both hands.
After reading his memorial, Emperor Jianchang was so angry that he felt dizzy and dizzy.
"Your Majesty, over a decade ago, Junshan King Xiao Long and Left Prime Minister Wang Lingchang, in order to seize the throne, colluded with the Northern Barbarians to forge witnesses and falsely accuse the Duke of Zhuguo of treason. Over the years, they have collaborated with the Northern Barbarians to launch several wars against our Great Zhou, and have also passed information from Great Zhou territory to them, resulting in the deaths of countless innocent soldiers on the front lines. Their crimes are heinous!"
"Left Prime Minister Wang Lingchang is the head of all officials. He has bribed court officials, formed cliques, embezzled the national treasury, secretly established caravans, sold refined iron and salt to the northern barbarians, aided the barbarians in their war against his own country, and conspired with King Junshan to secretly rebel. His crimes are truly heinous. Your Majesty, please make a judgment!"
Many ministers did not believe what Xiao Lichen said at all.
When he took out the confessions of the two men, no one dared to stand up and speak for them.
"Xiao Long and Wang Lingchang colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country, murdered loyal officials, and secretly plotted a rebellion. They were brought to Caishikou and beheaded in public. The fiefdom of King Junshan was reclaimed, and his family was exiled to Lingnan, unable to return without summons."
"Wang Lingchang's property will be confiscated, and the rest will be sentenced to death according to the severity of their crimes. The rest will be exiled to the northern border!"
After Emperor Jianchang issued the order to punish these two people, many ministers felt that Emperor Jianchang was already a very benevolent monarch.
The mistake this person made is a crime punishable by the extermination of his entire family.
However, their king did not take the lives of their families.
Emperor Jianchang publicly rehabilitated the family of the unjustly killed Zhuguogong, restored the Zhuguogong's super first-class treatment, and built a martyrs' temple for him for future generations to commemorate him!
After dismissing the court, Emperor Jianchang held Zhao Chong's hand and rushed to the prison. He wanted to personally confirm some events that happened that year with King Junshan.
But when he arrived, it was too late.
Junshan King Xiaolong and Wang Lingchang committed suicide by taking poison in prison one after another.
Emperor Jianchang looked at the two dead people in the cell and chose to let go of what had happened.
"I originally wanted to ask Wang Lingchang if it was his plan when I went south to organize disaster relief and was drugged. Now, they are both dead. Alas..."
Emperor Jianchang walked out of the prison with a haggard look on his face!
Eight hundred miles away from the capital, the Northern Barbarians' delegation encountered bandits. After a hard fight, only the left prime minister Tukuri and a Northern Barbarian man were left alive, and the rest were all killed by the brutal bandits.
Tukuri was stabbed in the chest and dragged his injured body at full speed to the northern border area.
He never dared to stay in the territory of Great Zhou again.
This trip to the Great Zhou resulted in him returning empty-handed.
Xiao Lichen and his mother Han Lingyun came to a very remote place.
There are several cenotaphs standing in front of me.
Xiao Lichen took out a wine jug and poured wine on each of the standing cenotaphs and placed them beside them.
Han Lingyun squatted down, lit the paper money in his hand, and tears fell.
"Father, mother, elder brother, younger sister, your injustice has been vindicated. Please rest in peace!"
Han Lingyun cried for a long time, and suddenly, he was helped up by a tall figure.
"Chen'er, when will your legs be healed?"
Han Lingyun turned around and asked in surprise.
Xiao Lichen supported his mother and whispered, "It's not completely healed yet. Princess Anle once told her son that if he wants to get better, he has to wait until she finds a precious medicine that will work."
Speaking of Tao Yuwei, Xiao Lichen felt that she was still mysterious. So far, he still hadn't figured out why she could predict the future.
However, due to her occasional chatter, he had accidentally overheard her thoughts and had changed many things.
He wanted to tell her that with him around, she didn't have to worry about the tragedies she mentioned happening.
Han Lingyun showed a relaxed smile on his face, "Anle is very good. After she reaches the age of marriage, how about I help you propose marriage?"
Xiao Lichen coughed twice. He was very surprised that his mother would have such an idea.
"She's still young, she's in a playful mood, there's no rush!"
Han Lingyun smiled and changed the subject, "I plan to leave the capital for Northern Xinjiang in a few days. If you miss your mother, you can write to me!"
"Okay, then I'll send more people to escort Mother all the way to the Northern Frontier!"
Xiao Lichen respects all his mother's decisions.
Just like his mother respects him in everything.
"Yun'er, I won't let you leave!"
Prince Yong suddenly appeared and interrupted the conversation between mother and son.
He rushed over domineeringly, picked up Han Lingyun, and left.
Xiao Lichen watched his awkward parents disappear and sat back in his wheelchair.
"Heiyan, push me to the farm outside Beijing to welcome Princess Anle back to Beijing."
A figure appeared, pushed him out of the mansion and got on a carriage.
On a farm outside Beijing.
Tao Yuwei and Jiang Siyan had a good sleep and woke up only at lunch time.
After washing up and being served by two maids, he had a delicious meal with Jiang Siyan.
She bought four goats from Jiang Siyan's farm and ordered them to be sent to the wolf king in the nearby mountains.
During this period.
Tao Yuwei and Jiang Siyan toured the farm again. After seeing the fifty acres of sugarcane growing well, she readily took out a dozen silver notes and said to Jiang Siyan, "This is the thirty thousand taels of silver note for the construction of the sugar workshop in the early stage. Keep it."
Jiang Siyan was extremely excited when she received the large silver bill. She immediately wrote a cooperation agreement, with each party holding half of the shares. Both parties put their fingerprints on the agreement and made two copies. The deal was quickly concluded.
