System invasion, Queen fights monsters to upgrade, kills the system

After a short interlude, the morning court continued.

"Your Majesty, since Master Pu has been appointed to the Imperial Observatory, he alone may not be able to handle the work. Although those criminals who were imprisoned for treason were wrong, most of them were deceived, and the main culprit has been executed. It would be better to give them a chance to make meritorious contributions while serving their sentence and assist Master Pu, which would be considered making the best use of their talents."

The initiator of this topic - King Zhengshan - Yinshan Qian, the eldest brother of Yinshan Du, was once the most promising candidate to become the crown prince, but because of an accident, his legs were paralyzed and he missed the chance to enter the Eastern Palace.

Three years ago, the news that Xuzhou Jiao had confessed her guilt spread like wildfire in Xuzhou...

The entire Xu Mansion was filled with wailing. Madam Xu was even more heartbroken. She cried out, "My darling child!" and fell to the ground.

Xuzhou Chuang, who lost his beloved daughter, was filled with grief and anger and wanted to lead his troops to Beijing to seek justice for his daughter. His brother Xuzhou Duo stopped him:

Jiaojiao's death was strange, someone must have deliberately framed her. Now the enemy is unclear, and he is afraid that if he acts rashly, he will fall into someone else's trap. If he falls into despair, no one will avenge Jiaojiao...

The only thing we can do now is to plan for the long term, strive to hit the target with one strike, and take down Yinshan Ferry's head to comfort Jiaojiao's spirit in heaven.

In the following days, Xuzhou Duo summoned the most capable people in the Xu family to discuss and plan. In the end, they all agreed: to move the whole family back to Kyoto, to draw a clear line with Jiaojiao, to regain the emperor's trust by confessing his guilt, to distribute forces, and finally to give them a heavy blow. It would be best to skin Yinshandu alive and cut off the roots...

The Xu family worked hard for a year, and finally, at the most appropriate time, they launched an attack on the palace...

Unfortunately, when success seemed imminent, the Queen Mother indicated that she wanted to meet Xuzhou Chuang alone.

After coming out, Xuzhou Chuang voluntarily laid down his weapons and surrendered.

Xuzhou Chuang was thrown into jail, Xuzhou He was taken back to the general's mansion and imprisoned on the spot, the rest of the Xuzhou people were rushed back to Xuzhou, and all the soldiers were disbanded on the spot.

Xu Zhouhe, who returned to the general's mansion, spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell heavily at the door. Madam Xu hugged her only remaining son and smiled sadly: "He saved her son after all. My son is not as good as hers after all."

For two whole years, no one except the Queen Mother knew what was going on in the General's Mansion.

Also involved at the time were the then director of the Imperial Observatory and his disciples, all of whom were charged with treason. All the people in the Imperial Observatory were thrown into prison because they knew about the incident and did not report it.

Now that the matter had been brought up again, all the court officials held their breath, fearing that they would be the next to be called.

"So according to what Big Brother said, they are to be reinstated?"

"It all depends on your majesty!"

"What about the others? Is there anything they want to say?"

The Minister of Justice, Eji, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have carefully interrogated them when they were imprisoned. Many of them have had more or less contact with the rebel leader Xuzhou Chuang. I think that it is a great favor from Your Majesty to keep them alive in the prison and reflect on their mistakes. If you pardon them now, then my Great Hermit Iron Law will become a joke. How can I warn others in the future? Please think twice."

"Your Majesty, I also think it is inappropriate. If they still have the will to disobey us, then my Great Hermit will have to go through another catastrophe!"

"I also think it's inappropriate!"

"I hope your Majesty will think twice!"

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Observatory has been vacant for a long time and is in urgent need of a new seat. King Zhengshan is also planning to live in seclusion in the country."

The one who hurried out was King Yingshan - the third brother of Yinshan Ferry, who lived in the northern foothills of Yinshan Mountain.

After saying this, he repeatedly turned back and signaled to the fifth brother, the King of Lanshan - Yinshan Kehe: Come on, speak for the eldest brother.

Yinshan Kehe glanced at him indifferently, still maintaining his original posture, looking forward, staying out of the matter.

As for the other ministers, they all turned a blind eye and paid little attention to their concerns.

It’s not that they don’t want to participate in the group chat, but after two princes personally intervened, they decided not to touch it to avoid disaster.

The Taifu Party is because the Taifu is not around and they don’t know how to interrupt.

"Okay, stop arguing. Since you can't agree on anything, why don't you just listen to what I have to say!"

"Whether or not the Imperial Observatory is used depends on whether they have rebellious intentions. Today, I will tell you one thing!"

"The late imperial concubine, Xuzhou Jiao was framed!"

As soon as these words came out, a stone stirred up a thousand waves...

"What? The imperial concubine was framed?"

"Wouldn't it be that if the imperial concubine pleaded guilty, she would die unjustly?"

"The general who guards the country... um..."

Before he could finish his words, he was pulled hard by the person next to him. He was startled and immediately lowered his head, sweating profusely...

The ministers who were originally discussing the matter fell silent immediately.

"That's right. The general was forced to do this. His young daughter was framed and he lost her in Xuzhou. But he had to go to the capital to plead guilty to save his family. When he learned that his daughter was an innocent victim, he had no choice but to take risks to increase his influence and find an opportunity to redress her."

"That's why he surrendered in front of the palace and was thrown into prison for two years."

Xu Zhoujiao listened to all this quietly. It turned out that her father had done so much for her without her knowing. During the three years she was in the tomb, she could not go anywhere. What she hoped most every day was that her father would bring her mother to see her, even just once.

She hopes her brother will give her some sugar cake.

She looked forward to it day by day and comforted herself day by day, thinking that perhaps they just didn't dare to come.

She never thought that this would be the result. Her father had been a soldier for half his life, and what he always said most was loyalty to the emperor and protecting the country. But for her, he led his army to fulfill his responsibility and mission.

Then, what about those Xu family soldiers? What about them?

Yinshan Du, who was sitting in a high position, had been keeping an eye on Xuzhou Jiao. Her face was filled with an indescribable sense of brokenness, like a crystal that suddenly fell to the ground and broke into countless sharp and tiny pieces, each of which stung the softest part of his heart, making him feel miserable.

Jiaojiao, I will definitely return to you everything you have lost.

"May I ask your Majesty, is there any evidence that the Imperial Concubine was framed? If the Imperial Concubine was really wronged, then we should conduct a trial immediately and clear the Imperial Concubine's name!"

The first person to stand up and appeal was Cheng Jinyun, the Minister of Works.

"Your Majesty, I also think that this matter is of great importance. Although I am not talented, I am willing to share your Majesty's worries." The second person to stand up was the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, Eji.

"Since this matter concerns the Imperial Concubine, it would be better to hold a public trial today!" Yinshandu made the decision directly.

"Your Majesty, since we want to have a public trial, the victim must be present. Although the imperial concubine has passed away, her father is still alive. I believe that the two cases are closely related. Why not invite General Xu to the palace?"

Yinshan Kehe, who had remained silent all the time, walked out of the queue.

"I will reconsider this." - Eji

"Your Majesty, I think this is inappropriate. General Xu was once the leader of the rebels. Although it was a helpless move, it is also a fact. What if he still has evil intentions in his heart... Please think twice!" - Cheng Jinyun

"I will reconsider this." - A member of the party

"I will reconsider this." - Party Member 2

"I will reconsider this." - Dangyou San

Xu Zhoujiao was a little anxious: "No, no, Daddy won't do that. Daddy forced the emperor to abdicate because of me. Daddy won't do that..."

Pingfan pulled her in a subtle way: "Don't worry, your majesty, His Majesty will definitely stand on our side."

Yin Shanqian stepped out again: "General Xu just wanted to seek justice for my daughter, but you are so timid! Your Majesty, I am willing to guarantee General Xu. If General Xu has any rebellious intentions, I am willing to share the same crime with him!"

"I am also willing to guarantee for the general." - The northern foothills of Yinshan Mountain.

"I agree with you." - Yinshan Kehe.

The three princes jointly guaranteed Xuzhou Chuang, and the ministers dared not raise any objections.

"Announce, General Xuzhou, the guardian of the country, is here to see you."

"Xuan, the state-guarding general Xuzhou Chuangjin meets~"

"Announcement, I am here to see the general Xuzhou Chuangjin~"

The sound of chains colliding is getting closer and closer...

After many years, Xu Zhoujiao saw her father for the first time. She looked at him with tears in her eyes as he came closer and closer. Her heart, which had stopped beating a long time ago, seemed to be squeezed hard by someone, and it felt sore and swollen...

Daddy's hair has turned white.

Xu Zhoujiao gently hugged her father and put her head gently on his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat like she did when she was a child.

Xuzhou Chuang was dazed. He seemed to feel Jiaojiao by his side just now, just like when she was little, with her little head pressed tightly against his arms, calling him daddy in a coquettish way.

"Jiaojiao"

"Daddy"

Xuzhou Chuang thought he heard Jiaojiao calling for daddy. He moved his lips, tears welled up in his eyes, and he called softly, "Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao, my little Jiaojiao..."

He raised his hands helplessly, looking at the entire court with hope, his eager eyes patrolling every inconspicuous corner. Is Jiaojiao back?

Jiaojiao heard that they were going to clear her name, so she came to take a look.

Xuzhou Chuang touched his hair, straightened his clothes, and tried to smooth out every wrinkle: "Jiaojiao, did you see that? Daddy is doing well."

Don’t be afraid, Jiaojiao. Daddy will seek justice for you.
