Chapter 873 Injustice redressed, the main task is completed

Xiao Jingyan looked at Zhou Chen who was approaching, and asked, "Why didn't you stop him, if it was you, you should be able to persuade him."

Facing the crown prince Xiao Jingyan, Zhou Chen did not show any restraint.

"Do you have a better choice? Xiaoshu just doesn't want you to be accused of forcing the palace, so he chooses to do this. Trust him."

In fact, Zhou Chen didn't object because he knew Mei Changsu's thoughts, and at the same time, he also wanted to clean up the Chi Yan case and Lin's charges in an upright manner, paving the way for Xiao Baolin in the future.

As for his main quest, to redress his injustice, he was only asked to complete it when Emperor Liang Xiaoxuan was in power. There was no prescribed method or process, as long as it was completed.

After hearing Zhou Chen's words, Xiao Jingyan had a complicated expression and didn't know how to answer.

Although he had already made up his mind, he would not back down just now at the Golden Palace, but if Emperor Liang really carried on to the end, he would really be in a difficult situation.

Mei Changsu's mouth escape skills are still very good. He entered the rear of Emperor Liang's foster residence, stayed for more than half an hour, and finally walked out with a relaxed expression.

Although the matter of the Jindian grievance today was carried out in front of all the officials, it did not spread afterward.

Because this is a matter related to the royal family and the emperor's face, even in private, I don't dare to discuss it, let alone spread it on purpose.

But soon Emperor Liang issued an order to order the third division to retry the case of Chi Yan.

Sufu!

Everyone gathered together, but their expressions were not so happy, but a little dignified.

Meng Zhi couldn't help but complained: "Xiao Shu, you shouldn't agree to His Majesty's request, why should you not be allowed to reveal your identity? Once Chi Yan's case is overturned, you should recover your freedom and restore Lin Shu's identity."

Mei Changsu didn't show any regretful expression, instead he said with a smile: "This is already the best choice, our Majesty was forced to agree to retry the Chi Yan case, but if he wanted to It is indeed a very troublesome thing to get stuck, and it is not a loss to exchange my identity for a retrial."

Having said that, he suddenly changed the subject.

"What's more, I just promised myself that I would not reveal my Lin Shu's identity, but I didn't promise him that I would cut off the Lin family. I still have Xiaobao. Our Majesty has not been around for long. After Jingyan came to power, He won't treat Lin badly, and he won't treat Xiaobao badly."

"So it doesn't matter whether I can recover my identity or not."

Mei Changsu was very open. He felt that he was running out of time. Now he was not thinking about himself, but about the Lin family and his most important son, Xiaobao Linxin.

Paving the way for Lin Xin is his priority.

Meng Zhi looked displeased: "But in this case, you can only continue to live as Mei Changsu."

"What's wrong with Mei Changsu's identity? I've used it for ten years and I'm used to it. If you let me regain Lin Shu's identity, I won't get used to it."

He didn't say this to comfort Meng Zhi, but he really thought so.

Lin Shu more than ten years ago, he was so dazzling and heroic, but now he is like a dying man with no power to restrain him.

So whether Lin Shu's identity can be restored is not so important to him.

"Ugh."

Meng Zhi also knew that he couldn't change Mei Changsu's mind, so he could only sigh heavily.

Mu Nihuang said with a worried face: "Brother, although His Majesty has agreed to retry the Chi Yan case, I think we should not be careless. He is too cunning. If he is allowed to regain power again, I am afraid..."

She didn't finish her sentence, but everyone understood what she meant.

Xia Dong agreed and said: "Yes, what Nihuang said makes sense, our Majesty really can't believe it."

Well, Emperor Liang really failed if he acted like this.

Mei Changsu said: "Don't worry about this, Jingyan and I have already thought of this, and we will not relax our care of him. Aunt Jing is watching over him in the harem, Jingyan is in the front court, Brother Meng is in the forbidden army, and there is also the Imperial Forest Army. , and is now loyal to Jingyan, so his current order can no longer be spread out of the imperial city."

Mu Nihuang said in a deep voice: "There are also King Yu and Empress. Although they have no power now, they still have to be careful."

Mei Changsu said: "We have also considered that Aunt Jing is watching over the queen, and Marquis Yan is also here, so he will not let the queen change her mind; as for King Yu, he probably won't do anything in his life."

Prince Yu's fate was already doomed, Xiao Jingyan didn't show any mercy, and directly convicted him of several major crimes, and was directly imprisoned in Prince Yu's mansion, and he was not allowed to leave the mansion again.

At this time, Wei Zheng couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "13 years, nearly 14 years of planning, finally to achieve the goal, thinking about the process, it is really tormenting."

Yes, more than ten years, for many people, is equivalent to one-third of a lifetime, and working hard for one thing is indeed enough to torture people.

Zhou Chen said: "No matter how hard it is, I'll get over it, so don't think about it in the future, Xiaoshu, from now on, you should take good care of your body, take Xiaobao with you when you have time, and watch the new life grow. But a good thing."

After Mei Changsu heard this, a smile appeared on his face.

"What you said makes me feel like I've entered retirement life."

After a few days, Lin Chen came to the capital after hearing the news.

"Tsk tsk, I really didn't expect that the two of you did this without asking me for help. It's amazing, amazing."

When Lin Chen saw Zhou Chen and Mei Changsu, he immediately gave a thumbs up and praised them.

Immediately after seeing Mei Changsu's expression, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Seeing that your complexion is not bad, I was worried when I came here. While you were relieved because of the completion of this matter, there was a sudden gap in your heart, which affected your body. But now it seems that you walked with me last time. It’s about time, so I’m relieved.”

Zhou Chen said: "You needn't worry. Xiaoshu is living a cool life now. He runs to my place early every morning to take Xiaobao. This father is several times more active than my real father."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "You're smart enough to adopt a son for Chang Su, so that even if he wants to relax, he won't be able to relax. Even if it's for his son, he will probably have to hold on for a long time. This is what we all want to see .”

"That's enough for you two, you know how to plot against me every day. I'm in good health, and if you talk about it like this every day, it's going to be ruined; I'm taking medicine on time every day, and every now and then, Xiao Chen helps me heal with internal strength. You don't have to think about anything else, let alone use your brain, life is so boring, what else can you do without children?"

If it is not relaxed, it is actually relaxed a lot, at least the tight string has been relaxed a lot.

If there is no new existence of Xiao Baolin, his mind and body will definitely be affected, but now his body is not only much better than in the original plot, but also has one more concern, so his spirit is also very good.

Zhou Chen clapped his hands and said, "Okay, don't talk about it, it's rare for the three of us to get together, let's have a good celebration today and have a drink or two."

Lin Chen: "The two of us drink, just let him watch."

"You two, really..."

In the blink of an eye, more than a month passed, and the retrial of Chi Yan's case was finally completed.

In fact, the truth of this case is already very clear, but there were too many people who died at the beginning. Since there is a retrial, everyone’s grievances must be cleared up. Naturally, it will take a long time for such statistics to continue.

And during this time, Emperor Liang never showed up. Even in the early court, Prince Xiao Jingyan presided over it on his behalf.

To put it bluntly, the crown prince Xiao Jingyan is not much different from the emperor, he only needs to be enthroned.

Although there is no Emperor Liang, the court is much more stable, because it is Xiao Jingyan's one-word hall now, and there are no other factions, so it is naturally easy to manage.

This is also the most relaxed time for Baiguan in the past ten years.

In the past when Emperor Liang was in power, although everyone had a good life, they often did not do practical things. Officials who want to do practical things are unwilling to do so.

What Xiao Jingyan needs now is officials who do practical things, and naturally he has the full support of many officials. As for those who don't like Xiao Jingyan, they don't dare to show their heads.

On this day, an eunuch in the palace came to Zhou Chen's mansion, saying that Emperor Liang had summoned him, and asked him to go to the palace immediately.

Although Zhou Chen wondered why Emperor Liang summoned him, he did not delay and followed the eunuch to the palace.

Seeing Emperor Liang again, Zhou Chen could clearly feel the changes in Emperor Liang. There were more white hairs on his head and more wrinkles on his face. He looked older than a few months ago, at least. After several years of age, his energy and spirit have declined a lot.

In the palace, apart from Emperor Liang and the eunuch Gao Zhan, there was another person, the crown prince Xiao Jingyan.

"Meet Your Majesty."

Zhou Chen bowed, but unlike before, this time he didn't kneel down and salute.

Emperor Liang's expression changed slightly, he didn't speak, and just looked at Zhou Chen.

"I haven't seen you in more than ten years. The Xiaochen back then, I didn't expect to become like this."

Zhou Chen replied indifferently: "Everyone will change, not to mention going through such a life and death. If it's still the same as before, I'm afraid I'm already dead."

"You and Xiaoshu have been in the capital for two years, and I didn't recognize you. I'm really old."

Emperor Liang expressed emotion, although he was unwilling to be reconciled to being emptied these days, he could only recognize the reality.

Lin Shu was still alive, which brought him a great shock, but Zhou Chen was still alive, although he was also shocked, but it was much smaller than the shock brought by Lin Shu.

"What happened back then, I never thought of punishing you. You are Zhou Kuang's son and my nephew; but Xia Jiang and Xie Yu, they misled me and made me think that you were also involved in the conspiracy. It was Xia Jiang and Xie Yu who missed me."

Watching Emperor Liang's performance, Zhou Chen sneered in his heart, and even acted with him, as for?
"I don't know what your Majesty's order is for calling the grassroots people here?"

Emperor Liang opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but hesitated for a long time, and still didn't say it.

At this time, Xiao Jingyan came out and said, "Zhou Chen, my father called you here to tell you that the Chi Yan case has been retried and your guilt has been cleared. Zhongliang of Daliang, Father is going to issue an order to restore your identity and title."

Zhou Chen's face changed slightly. Unlike Mei Changsu, he actually didn't have much pursuit of recovering his identity and title.

But if he can recover and live as Zhou Chen in an open and aboveboard manner, he will not refuse.

"I thank you, Your Majesty."

Emperor Liang showed dissatisfaction on his face, but he still said: "You are the son of Zhou Kuang, and also my nephew. I am very pleased to see that you are so promising now. You are the eldest son of the Zhou family, Wu Chenghou. The line still needs you to pass it on, I hope you will not disappoint the expectations of me and the prince."

"The minister will live up to the expectations of His Majesty and the Prince."

Soon, Emperor Liang set up a spiritual altar in the Taiyi Royal Temple, and led all the officials to offer sacrifices in person to comfort the souls of the dead.

Not long afterward, he decreed to restore Zhou Chen's identity and title, and re-given the former Zhou Mansion to Zhou Chen, and also allocated funds for reconstruction, rewarding a lot of gold and silver.

Xiao Jingyan even appointed Zhou Chen as a general in order to make up for Zhou Chen.

Wu Chenghou and Zhou Chen regained their identity, which shocked countless people in the capital. Some new officials did not know the title of Wu Chenghou, but those old officials knew what Wu Chenghou represented.

It's just that no one thought that the real identity of Gong Ziyu in Jianghu would be Zhou Chen, Marquis of Wucheng.

However, although everyone was shocked, they quickly accepted it. After all, Zhou Chen was different from Mei Changsu. Although he had stayed in the capital all the time, he hadn't been involved in too many incidents. It was easier for people to accept his recovery.

After Zhou Chen regained his title, he didn't need to hide any more, and took Gong Yu directly back to his mother Xiao Zhihan's princess mansion.

As for the original Zhou Mansion, because it had been abandoned for too long, it took a long time to rebuild before it could be reinhabited.

Lin Shu was also quite busy during this time, because his identity could not be made public, so Xiao Jingyan built a Lin's ancestral hall in private for Lin Shu to worship.

After Lin Chen stayed in the capital for a month, he felt bored.

"Are you two really going to hang out with me?"

He originally wanted to invite Zhou Chen and Mei Changsu to travel with him, but both Zhou Chen and Mei Changsu refused, which made him very depressed.

Zhou Chen said: "Do you think that we are all alone like you, and we can go wherever we want? We are all married people now, so how can we go out with you when we have time?"

"Hey, Junior Brother, are you laughing at me?" Lin Chen glared at Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen said disdainfully: "I'm just telling the truth. At the beginning I asked you to travel with me, but you didn't go with me. Now you invite me, can't I refuse?"

Seeing the distraught Lin Chen, Mei Changsu laughed and said, "I want to go with you, but Xiaobao is still young, so I really can't bear him. If you don't mind, just wait until Xiaobao grows up." One o'clock, I will go to play with you again."

Lin Chen snorted unhappily: "You two are really boring, I won't talk nonsense with you, if you don't go, I will go alone."

"Brother, wait a few more days."

Zhou Chen remembered that in the original plot, Daliang was besieged by several other countries shortly after the Chi Yan case was cleared.

Lin Chen: "Wait, what are you waiting for?"

Zhou Chen said: "In a few days it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival, wait until the Mid-Autumn Festival is over before leaving."

Lin Chen thought for a while, and now he didn't object anymore.

"That's fine too."
