After I traveled through the book, I was spoiled by five little villains

"Move over here and I'll take care of you."

Qin Yaoguang looked at him with tender eyes and said, "Don't work so hard in the future."

Yan Changqing felt soft in his heart: "Okay."

It was very early, and the capital woke up especially early that day.

Leave the thrilling moments in the past and the present is filled with new hope.

When Qin Yaoguang and Yan Changqing arrived one after another, all the civil and military officials at the palace gate made way for them.

They deserve respect from everyone.

Without them, good and bad fortune would be unpredictable.

There was a short drizzle last night, and the wide square in front of Wende Hall was shimmering with light in the last darkness before dawn.

All traces of the previous night's fighting, and wherever the soldiers and horses had trodden, were cleaned up completely.

Walking in it, you have the illusion that nothing has ever happened.

But if you just look back, you can see the gap in the northwest gate of the imperial city that was blown open and is being repaired.

If you look closely, you can see traces of blood remaining in the cracks between the bricks.

The morning court began with shouts of "Long live the emperor!"

And this early morning court session is destined to go down in history.

The emperor sat high on the dragon throne, and for the first time ever he did not yawn, but instead looked full of energy.

There were quite a few missing officials attending the court.

For example, officials such as Xie Shu and the Minister of Revenue who were exposed by Prince Ruyang were suspected of treason. No matter what their official positions were, they were arrested by the Dali Temple.

There were many more people, such as royal family members who did not normally attend court, among whom Qin Yaoguang was the most representative.

She stepped into the court and everyone came up to greet her.

There were two main issues to be discussed at this morning's court session.

The first thing to be addressed was, of course, how to convict Prince Ruyang of treason, and how to deal with the officials he bribed to confess, the remnants of his troops still on the road, and the officials and cities that surrendered.

Secondly, it is the great achievement of Princess Leyang and Yan Changqing in jointly recovering Juyan City and the assessment of their military merits.

The latter news excited the government and the public.

He looked at Qin Yaoguang with more admiration.

Most of them don’t know about what happened in Juyan City, let alone the twists and turns involved.

All people knew was that Qin Yaoguang and Yan Changqing appeared in the palace in time to turn the tide.

After listening to Yan Changqing's memorial, I realized that the eldest princess lost contact due to a sandstorm, which was also a conspiracy of Prince Ruyang.

As for Juyan City, it was the brave and resourceful princess who maneuvered and schemed in the enemy's hinterland and eventually captured it.

The emperor listened with great interest, his eyes shining: "Sister, tell me in detail later."

It is simply a living legend. He wants to draw it after experiencing so many life-and-death moments and grand scenes that make one's blood boil just by thinking about it!

Qin Yaoguang smiled sweetly and agreed.

She understood her brother's feelings. Didn't she also yearn for the beautiful country?

The memorial requesting military merit was quickly unanimously approved.

With such a huge achievement in front of them and Yan Changqing pleading for the princess, only a fool would object.

Incidentally, the soldiers' pensions and the attached list of requests for military merit were approved on the spot.

In addition to the original military personnel, Yan Shouzhuo, Yan Shiyan and Zhao Yuchuan, who made great contributions in the recapture of Juyan City, were all awarded the title of sixth-rank military official and corresponding rewards.

In addition, Fang Ting, Su Bai, Qing Bai and others, as well as the female soldiers who protected the Wende Hall and rescued the emperor from Wanqi Tower, were all rewarded.

No one disputes his contribution to expanding territory.

After celebrating the success, the reckoning began.

Prince Ruyang was guilty of the irrefutable crime of treason and was executed immediately.

All his relatives and family members who stayed in Ruyang were demoted to commoners and were never allowed to enter official careers.

Within the three tribes, they will be imprisoned on the spot until death.

Holding the confession of Prince Ruyang, Dai Zhilong uncovered the truth about the disastrous defeat of the Yan family thirteen years ago. Every word was shocking.

Thirteen years ago, the late emperor wanted to reform the system of three dukes and nine ministers to the system of three provinces and six ministries, but was resisted by most of the aristocratic families.

The person taking the lead was Xie Shu.

He conspired with Prince Ruyang, one for greater power and the other to replace the previous emperor and ascend the throne. They colluded with people from all walks of life inside and outside the court, and even colluded with the Northern Rong to set up a shocking conspiracy.

All members of the Yan family died on the battlefield, and only Yan Changqing survived by accident.

The previous emperor died of vomiting blood, and the Prince of Ruyang was behind it.

Prince Ruyang acted covertly, the pulse diagnosis was changed, and all the blame was put on Doctor Weng, who was in charge of the late emperor's illness.

In other words, Prince Ruyang killed his brother for the throne.

In the end, Xie Shu helped the prince ascend the throne, the alliance between the two fell apart, and Prince Ruyang was driven out of the capital with resentment.

The truth finally came to light.

Listening to Dai Zhilong's heavy voice reading out his confession, Yan Changqing's eyes welled up with tears, unable to restrain himself.

Thirteen years!

The blood revenge of my parents can finally be avenged!

The shame they suffered can finally be avenged!

After the Yan family suffered a tragic defeat, the court, under the control of the aristocratic families, raised increasing voices to convict the Yan family.

The military generals guarding the border lost their land and cities, and so many of their soldiers died. According to the military law of dereliction of duty, they should be sentenced to death.

It was the late emperor's insistence, and his decree to marry his most beloved Princess Leyang to Yan Changqing, that allowed him to leave the capital, return to the border to stabilize the morale of the army, and find out the truth.

Almost, even Yan Changqing was thrown into prison and questioned.

Qin Yaoguang took a few steps back, walked to his side, and stood shoulder to shoulder with him.

Using the cover of her wide sleeves, she quietly held his hand.

How could she not understand his excitement?

More than ten years of hard work have not been in vain.

Next, those who should be rehabilitated will be rehabilitated, those who should be conferred titles will be conferred titles, and those who should be severely punished will be severely punished.

Xie Shu was stripped of his post as Grand Tutor, all Xie family officials in the court were dismissed, the Tutor's residence was confiscated, and the entire family was imprisoned in the Dali Temple, with charges pending.

Doctor Weng was cleared of the charges, reinstated, and his former residence was returned to his descendants for inheritance.

The aristocratic families involved, except for the Xue family which had been destroyed, also included the Lu family, the Wang family, etc. In addition, there were more than 20 officials in the court, seven or eight of whom had retired and returned home.

We will investigate each one according to the severity of the crime.

The Dali Temple will be very busy in the coming period.

After this series of transactions were completed, Yan Changqing shook Qin Yaoguang's hand and stepped out to make his case.

"The Yan family that survived that year was not only this general, but also the two children left behind by my eldest brother and his wife."

Yan Changqing bowed and said, "I didn't know the inside story until I returned to the border town. On the way to send them back to the capital, they were assassinated many times. Therefore, I didn't dare to reveal their identities before the situation became clear. I'm sorry, Madam."

He turned sideways and bowed to the ground towards Qin Yaoguang.

There were no extra words, and everyone understood that he was asking for the eldest princess' forgiveness.

That's it!

Among the five children raised in the Princess's mansion, there is actually a pair of orphans from the Yan family?

Qin Yaoguang smiled slightly: "Please stand up, Prince Consort. The Yan family is full of loyal and brave people, and these two children have inherited their will. They are young and promising, and it is worth it for me to raise them."
