Pregnant with the Prince Regent's cub after transmigrating into Ouchi

After a while, the time for the morning court arrived.

Chizhou withdrew from the apse, and entered through the main entrance of the Jinluan Hall together with other courtiers, and then stood according to their respective positions, waiting in the hall for the little emperor and Li Zhan to go to court.

Ji Qingzhou looked at Ji Qinglan and smiled comfortingly at her.

Naturally, he would not let Ji Qinglan, a girl, go with him to face civil and military officials. Although in his opinion, Ji Qinglan had such courage and could handle such a situation, but as an elder brother, he couldn't Put your own sister in front of you.

"This king has all arrangements, so don't be too nervous." Li Zhan said to Ji Qingzhou.

Ji Qingzhou nodded when he heard the words, and now he is not so nervous. He knows that if he is not absolutely sure, Li Zhan will not let him come out to face all this.

Inside the Golden Luan Hall, all the officials waited quietly.

The little emperor came out from the apse, followed by Li Zhan and Ji Qingzhou.

The courtiers probably heard some rumors, and they all looked serious.

In the past, everyone was used to whispering while waiting, but today the hall was so quiet that a needle could be heard.

After all the officials saluted, Chizhou came out from where he was standing, walked to the center of the hall, bowed to the little emperor and Li Zhan, and said, "Your Majesty, my lord. The 'discovery' that was re-examined by the officials and the adults of the Ministry of Punishment earlier The two cases of the Xifeng battalion commander colluding with foreign enemies' and 'the former Xifeng battalion commander colluded with the Second Highness' have already come to conclusion, and today the special court is coming to His Majesty and Wang Ye to make clear the results."

"En." Li Zhan replied, "Chi Shaoqing, let's start now."

"Yes." Chizhou bowed to Li Zhan again, and then said: "The two cases also involve the crime of the former Tai Fu Ji Wencheng, please allow me to explain it together."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell on Ji Qingzhou intentionally or unintentionally.

Ji Qingzhou's face was calm, and he just stood behind the little emperor in an orderly manner.

"Yes." Li Zhan said.

"This first case is the case that Xiao Tengyun, the current coach of the Xifeng camp, colluded with foreign enemies to assassinate the princess of Liang Guo." Chizhou asked people to submit several letters, and said: "There were physical evidence and personal evidence in this case. However, Xiao Tengyun pleaded not guilty and insisted that someone was framing him."

At that time, it was precisely because of the controversy over this case that there was a re-investigation of the case between His Highness the Second Highness and the Ji family...

As Chizhou said, he asked some witnesses to come up. He pointed to one of them and said to the crowd: "Liu Qi works in Dali Temple and is good at investigating and identifying handwriting and seals. There are 21 cases involved, including 51 identification documents and 89 identification letters. The identification results of each case are recorded in Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment, and the number of errors is zero."

After Chizhou finished speaking, there were sporadic whispers among the courtiers.

This Liu Qibie has no other skills, but he is very famous for his identification skills. Many people in Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment have heard of him.

"Let Liu Qilai do the identification, I think you won't have any doubts, right?" Chizhou said.

Now that it's all said and done, everyone will naturally not have any doubts, and the evidence is all there, but if Liu Qi lied and was found out, the crime is not a joke.

"Liu Qi, you were the one who identified all the letters related to the case of 'Xiao Tengyun, the current coach of the Xifeng Battalion'. What's the result?" Chi Zhou asked.

Liu Qi bowed his hands to Chizhou, and then bowed to the little emperor and Li Zhan, and then said: "I'm not a good official, I have no other skills, but this method of identification is handed down in my family, and I think I have never made a mistake. Xiao The handwriting of several letters involved in Commander’s case is far from that of Commander Xiao’s, and the seals are all imitated.”

As he spoke, he opened the letter and compared it with Xiao Tengyun's handwriting.Although everyone didn't know how to identify handwriting, they could understand it. Liu Qi explained a little and everyone could understand the strangeness.

"Among the letters confiscated by Commander Xiao, the unsent letter imitated Commander Xiao's handwriting, and the other letters were written by pretending to be from the country of Di. Since the sender of the letter was not caught, the next official can only Compare the handwriting of several witnesses involved in the case." Liu Qidao: "The result of the identification is that among the witnesses who identified Commander Xiao, the handwriting of one person is very similar to that of the letter. A letter to frame Commander Xiao."

Chi Zhou said at the right time: "The relevant witness has been interrogated with the officials of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. That person is the deputy general of Zhou Chu, the former coach of the Xifeng Battalion. Because he firmly believed that Zhou Chu was framed by Xiao Tengyun, he has always held a grudge against Xiao Tengyun. In my heart, I used the same means to retaliate against the other party."

As soon as he finished speaking, a person from the Criminal Department presented the confession to Li Zhan.

"The witness is waiting outside the hall. If your majesty, the prince, or even the adults have any doubts, you can send him to the hall to answer." Chizhou said.

Everyone couldn't help being shocked when they heard the words. Although they guessed that something was wrong, they didn't expect that Zhou Chu's subordinates did it.

"What about the assassination of Princess Liang?" someone asked.

"This matter has also been investigated. Although the person who did the attack was executed that night, the officials and several adults from the Ministry of Punishment have questioned everyone who was present that night. It turns out that the person who did the attack that night was originally because of his relationship with Qin Er. The young master wanted to attack the second young master Qin during the festival, but accidentally injured Her Royal Highness, I didn't expect someone to make a big fuss about it, and this is what happened later..." Chizhou said.

That night, Qin Zheng had a quarrel with those people from Xifeng Camp at the banquet, and Qin Zheng also beat them afterwards, which was witnessed by many people.

At this point, the truth of the case is revealed.

"Your Majesty, my lord, this is the cause and effect of this case." Chi Zhou said.

"Does anyone have any questions?" Li Zhan asked.

Naturally, everyone would not have any doubts about this case.

In fact, after the matter of the letter was clarified, there was no suspense in this case.

"Then, let's talk about the second case." Chi Zhou said, "That is what the person who forged the letter and falsely accused Xiao Tengyun in the last case..."

As soon as Chizhou's voice fell, someone presented the evidence of the second case.

"Last year last year, Zhou Chu, then the head coach of the Xifeng Battalion, was reported by his subordinate Xiao Tengyun, saying that he and the Second Highness wanted to take advantage of the late emperor's serious illness to conspire against him. The late emperor was furious, so he arrested Zhou Chu overnight, and searched his camp. Out of these letters...the letters are all about his communication with the Second Highness to discuss the 'Great Rebellion'." Chizhou said.

Chizhou writers opened the letters one by one and showed them to everyone.

At this time Liu Qi opened several other letters...

"This is His Royal Highness's handwriting, this is Zhou Chu's handwriting..." Liu Qi put several letters together, and said: "Such a poor imitation trace, if someone asked me to identify it in the past, this official I'm afraid I'm going to laugh my teeth out."

People from Chizhou walked around in front of the courtiers with several letters, and there was a sudden silence in the hall.

It's not for anything else, just because the handwriting on the letter is just like what Liu Qi said, there is no need to identify it at all, even a person who has a little knowledge of calligraphy can easily tell that it is fake.

"Needless to say the extent of handwriting fraud, this seal even misspelled Zhou Chu's handwriting." Liu Qi sneered.

Everyone bowed their heads and remained silent when they heard the words. Obviously, this case is much simpler and clearer than Xiao Tengyun's case...

"Biography to Xiao Tengyun." Li Zhan said coldly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Tengyun was brought up.

Chizhou looked at bringing those letters in front of Xiao Tengyun, and said, "Commander Xiao, please tell your majesty, lord, and all the adults about the answers to these letters that were found in the camp of Chu this week. thing?"

Xiao Tengyun's complexion was pale, and his eyes were slightly black. It was obvious that he had suffered a lot in the past few days.

But this torture is not because of being tortured, but because of knowing that what happened last year will eventually be revealed to the world...

"I didn't write the letter. I don't know anything. I just sued His Majesty for the sake of my future." Xiao Tengyun said hoarsely: "The seal of His Highness Second Highness on this letter is a copy of his private seal. I am a military officer. How do you know what his private seal looks like?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone showed a somewhat complicated look on their faces.

What Xiao Tengyun said hit the point. There are probably not many people in the whole court who can know the private seal of His Highness the Second Highness.

"There are not many people who know the private seal of His Highness the Second Highness, but it is not impossible." Chi Zhou said.

"Yes." Xiao Tengyun said: "But the late Emperor is the elder brother of the Second Highness, so he should be able to recognize the authenticity of the seal, right?"

Xiao Tengyun's words hit the point again.

The letter may not have been arranged by the first emperor, but it is impossible for the first emperor not to recognize the private seal of the Second Highness, nor the handwriting of the other party, but why did he still believe the contents of these letters?

"It's not that no one raised doubts about this matter back then." Chi Zhou said, "Master Tai Tuo advised His Majesty several times back then, insisting that this matter should not be taken lightly. Not long after... the Second Highness's residence was found. The letters between him and Taifu Ji."

While Chizhou was talking, someone presented several letters.

Chizhou didn't bother Liu Qi this time, opened the letter by himself, and said to the ministers, "Ji Taifu is very knowledgeable, if his calligraphy is ranked second among the civil servants of the Yu Dynasty, there is no The person who dares to be called the first is the characters of the first emperor and prince, and he taught them by himself."

But on the paper with Ji Wen's seal letter in Chizhou's hand, the handwriting was unremarkable.Without Liu Qilai's identification, anyone present who had dealt with Ji Wencheng could tell that the letter was not written by Ji Wencheng.

"After checking by the officials and the lords of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the letters involved in the case of Xifengying Commander Zhou Chu and His Highness the Second Highness, including the case of Taifu Ji, were all forged. Do your majesty, lords and you have any doubts?" Chi Zhou asked .

Everyone was silent, and the atmosphere in the hall almost dropped to freezing point.

Everyone knows Chizhou's series of actions, and he hardly mentions that person from the beginning to the end, but his every word and every word is pointing to that person.None of this series of letters used to convict Zhou Chu, His Highness the Second Highness, and the Ji Family was genuine, and all of them were outrageously fake.

Anyone who had done a little screening at that time would have known that these letters could not be used as evidence.

But at that time, the case was still so "naturally" settled, Zhou Chuman's family was beheaded, the Second Highness imprisoned the imperial tomb, Ji's family was convicted...

"Heir certificate..." Chizhou said.

As soon as he finished speaking, guards brought seven or eight people in, and everyone was quite surprised when they looked closely.

It was because among these people, there was Yao Changan, the previous head of the internal affairs department.

"The people who forged these letters back then have been silenced, so they can no longer be verified, but the people who searched Xifeng Camp and His Royal Highness's palace were all found." Chi Zhou said: "Of course...their confessions can't be verified either. What, it can only prove that the letters that were searched at the beginning were not hidden in a hidden place, they were all found in the most conspicuous place in the study."

"Yao Chang'an, you were the only one who stayed by the late emperor's side from beginning to end. What do you have to say about this case?" Li Zhan asked Yao Chang'an.

Yao Changan knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the little emperor and Li Zhan, and then said: "This old slave has served in the palace since he was a child, and he knows the rules not to pry into the master's mind. The late emperor's views and arrangements for this case, old slave I don't know anything about it. The old slave only remembers that the day before the case came to light, the late emperor summoned many people."

As soon as Yao Changan's words came out, several of the courtiers turned pale.

Li Zhan glanced coldly at the crowd, and said in a deep voice, "What does the late emperor's summons have to do with this case?"

"The first emperor asked them what they thought of His Highness the Second Highness and Taifu Ji." Yao Chang'an said.

Everyone became restless when they heard the words, because they knew that the inquiry of the late emperor this time should have a crucial effect on the development of the case.Thinking about it, the first emperor would have hesitated to some extent at that time, so he frequently summoned courtiers and asked their opinions.

At this time, in the Golden Luan Hall, the morning light first appeared.

The rising sun shines in from the window on the east side of the hall, making the hall glow red.

In the morning light, Yao Changan vaguely recalled the scene in the late emperor's bedroom that day: At that time, the late emperor was already terminally ill, and it was difficult for him to even get up, so he could barely sit up against the bed.

That day he asked almost all the people he trusted in the six parts, and the question he asked was simply: "What does Ai Qing think of the second brother?"

"What does Ai Qing think of Taifu?"

Everyone knew what the seriously ill late emperor was jealous of. No one dared to touch his bad luck at this time, so they were all cautious in their answers, for fear that if they disagreed with each other, they would end up like Ji Wencheng.

"The Second Highness is young and energetic, and still needs to be tempered."

"The Second Highness is really reckless..."

"The Second Highness is young after all, and doesn't know how to sympathize with His Majesty's painstaking efforts..."

"Your Majesty Tai Tu has been entrusted by the late emperor, and he loves His Majesty and His Highness the same as the Second Highness."

"Teacher Ji has always been extremely prestigious in the court..."

No one in the crowd made trouble, but no one pleaded for them in front of the late emperor.

Li Zhan, the only one who tried his best to protect the two, was sent out of the capital by the late emperor as early as the day before.

That night, the last people the late emperor saw were the Fourth Highness and the old prince.

What they said completely made the late emperor make up his mind:

His Royal Highness said to him: "The Grand Tutor has always liked the Second Brother more. Back then when my younger brother was engaged to the Third Miss of the Ji family, the Grand Tutor was very disappointed. His favorite son-in-law has always been the Second Brother and not me."

The old prince said to him: "The Third Highness is a person worthy of important responsibilities. If he assists His Highness the Crown Prince, the Great Yu Dynasty will be stable."

stable.

Flesh and blood kinship, master-student friendship, nothing compares to the weight of this word in the heart of the first emperor.

If he wants to keep his son in this dragon chair, he has to make a choice that he thinks is foolproof.

As for what he gave up, he didn't have time to think about it, because there was very little time left for him...

"Your Majesty, my lord..." Chizhou said: "The case back then was like this. There is no evidence to prove that Zhou Chu conspired against His Highness the Second Highness, and there is no evidence to prove that Taifu Ji participated in it... The previous conviction letters are all It was overturned, and all the confession laws based on the letter can't be counted."

At this time, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment said: "According to the laws and regulations of the Dayu Dynasty, there is no doubt about the crime."

"What's the conclusion?" Li Zhan said coldly.

As soon as his words fell, there were whispers in the hall.

Now that the matter has come to this point, everyone in the hall knows what is going on in this case.

In fact, even before that, many people could vaguely guess what the truth was.

Today, Chizhou led people to overturn the case, clearing up the grievances of Zhou Chu, His Royal Highness and the Ji family. This result is already the maximum range that everyone can accept.But Li Zhan is still asking for the conclusion after saying this. Could it be that besides maintaining the innocence of those involved in the case, Li Zhan also wants to pull "the first emperor" out to whip the corpse?

"My lord... the conclusion of the case is already very clear. Commander Zhou, His Highness the Second Highness, and Taifu Ji are all wronged." Zhang Shangshu said, "Today, if Chi Shaoqing and the adults of the criminal department can re-investigate the case clearly, what else will they do?" It is a matter of immeasurable merit to give them innocence, and I would be very pleased if Commander Zhou and Taifu Ji knew about it."

Zhang Shangshu is a veteran minister in the court, he knows how to measure, he knows that it is useless to continue to pursue the matter.

Especially in terms of Li Zhan's current position, he has done his best to risk the pressure to do this. If he continues to question, it will inevitably make things difficult to end. No one wants to see such a situation.

"This king thinks it's not clear enough." Li Zhan said coldly.

"My lord... the late emperor has passed away, and many things are irreparable. Please think twice, my lord." Another old minister came out and said.

Li Zhan glanced at the crowd with a cold face, and his eyes were somewhat mocking.

Ji Qingzhou stood aside and looked at Li Zhan, knowing that Li Zhan did not intend to compromise this time, but wanted to turn the matter over completely.

But he also knew what situation Li Zhan would face in this way.

In this era, the king is the guide for the ministers. If Li Zhan openly "judged" the late emperor's guilt, then even if the matter was fully explained in the end, Li Zhan would have to bear the charge of "disobedience".

Ji Qingzhou knew that Li Zhan might not care about these things, but he did.

He didn't want Li Zhan to bear these things, he was unwilling...and he was not willing.

"Your Majesty, my lord." Ji Qingzhou suddenly walked out from behind the little emperor, then knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the two of them.

Everyone was startled, and looked at Ji Qingzhou.

"Now that the case has come to light, can my Ji family be exonerated?" Ji Qingzhou asked.

Li Zhan stared blankly at Ji Qingzhou and said nothing, but the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment said: "According to the law, it is like this. From today on, Young Master Ji no longer needs to be a slave in the palace."

Hearing the words, Ji Qingzhou kowtowed to the little emperor and Li Zhan again, then turned around and bowed to the Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment.

Then he took off the python robe in front of everyone, leaving only a snow-white middle coat on his body.

Li Zhan stood in the hall and looked at the boy in white, and suddenly realized what the boy was going to do.

The young man knew what he was going to do, and he didn't want him to be charged with "disobedience", so he wanted to find out the truth on his behalf!

At the same time, everyone's eyes fell on Ji Qingzhou, and they saw the young man turn around and salute all the ministers, and said: "You are all my father's colleagues. Since the old case is being retried today, Commander Zhou and His Highness the Second Highness Since they were not present, I boldly seek justice on behalf of my late father from all of you, Your Majesty and the prince."

As soon as Ji Qingzhou's voice fell, the hall suddenly exploded.

They were worried that Li Zhan would hold on to him before, but they didn't expect to press the gourd and pick up the ladle. This young master Ji has the courage to find out the truth at this time!

"This case caused Commander Zhou's whole family to be beheaded, His Highness the Second Highness was imprisoned in the imperial tomb, and my Ji family was even ruined. Now that it is confirmed today that the letters used as evidence at that time were all forged, and the charges against him were groundless, then there must be someone Are you responsible for this unjust case?" Ji Qingzhou stood in the hall neither humble nor overbearing, and asked: "Was it the Criminal Ministry or Dali Temple that was in charge of hearing this case? Who ordered the conviction? Who executed the sentence?"

Ji Qingzhou's voice was not loud, but when it fell on the ears of all the ministers, the effect was like thunder.

Li Zhan looked at him and subconsciously wanted to step forward to stop him.

However, at this time, Ji Qingzhou inadvertently put a hand on his lower abdomen.

Everyone didn't know that Ji Qingzhou was pregnant, and they couldn't see anything unusual through the loose jacket on his body at this time, but Li Zhan knew that most of his movements were to appease the fetal movement in his abdomen.

At that moment, Li Zhan's heart moved, and he immediately understood the boy's actions.

Just like he wanted to get back this justice for the young man desperately, so the other party wanted to protect him desperately?

At that moment, Li Zhan felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.

No matter what the reason for the young man's actions, to him, the meaning is tantamount to "living together and dying together".

"This case went up to the first emperor and down to everyone present. Everyone is guilty." Li Zhan said suddenly.

As soon as Li Zhan said this, there was another commotion in the hall.

But after a while, Li Zhan's position on these words was completely different.

If Ji Qingzhou questioned him before, his words would be equivalent to taking the initiative to "judgment" the late emperor, but Ji Qingzhou questioned first, and when he said this, it would be regarded as an answer to Ji Qingzhou's questioning, and the meaning of "judgment" in the context immediately disappeared. Gone, replaced by "self-regret".

"As the late emperor's brother and subject, this king has neither fulfilled his duty of persuasion nor prevented the unjust case from happening in time. This king is willing to repent on behalf of the late emperor and try his best to make up for it," Li Zhan said.

As soon as Li Zhan finished speaking, the little emperor on the dragon chair suddenly said, "I'm with the emperor uncle."

As soon as the little emperor's words fell, all civil and military officials in the court were shocked. This was the first time since he came to the court to express his opinions in front of the officials.Moreover, his demeanor was very serious at this time, and he did not have the drowsy look he used to have every time he went to court.

With the little emperor's statement, the situation in the palace suddenly changed.

First, Chizhou, as the young minister of Dali Temple, took the responsibility of "overseeing" himself; then the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment also took the responsibility together... All the officials knelt down and took the responsibility.

Everything is like a reincarnation, their cowardice and evasion in the past have all returned today.

Even though the late emperor is no longer here, even Zhou Chu and Taifu Ji are no longer alive, but many things will not pass easily.

Looking at Baiguan, Ji Qingzhou felt very ironic.

Back then, no one except Li Zhan dared to speak out because of not daring to offend the late emperor. Now because of Li Zhan and the little emperor, they all came forward to take responsibility.

Ji Qingzhou can understand that under the imperial power, not everyone has the courage to put life and death at risk, even if it is him, he may not be able to do better.He just thought all this was a bit ridiculous, and at that moment he completely understood why Li Zhan never thought of becoming an emperor.

Even if he had a second life and held a pile of chips in his hand, Li Zhan never thought about the dragon chair.

Because of all this, Li Zhan really has no attraction.

Ji Qingzhou was even a little lucky, fortunately Li Zhan didn't want to be emperor, otherwise he would have to run away overnight...

After going down to court, Ji Qingzhou and Li Zhan stood at the entrance of the Jinluan Hall and looked at the sky. They were silent and neither of them spoke, but they seemed to know what the other was thinking.

The case was finally over, but neither of them felt happy.

Instead, it feels empty because the truth they worked so hard for doesn't make up for anything.

The dead are dead, and the truth does not bring them back to life.

"My lord, Mr. Ji..." Dong Dong came over and said to the two of them, "Ji Mansion has been unsealed today, and the Ministry of Industry will send people to repair it. Miss Ji said that she wants to move back today, and ask her subordinates to ask Ji Xiao Will the son go back together?"

Ji Qingzhou was startled when he heard the words, and then realized that after the case of Ji's family was over, he would have no status in this palace today.

According to the rules, he naturally cannot continue to live in Yinghui Pavilion...

He and Li Zhan had not formally discussed what would happen after the case ended, and he guessed that Li Zhan might not have made up his mind either.

Before that, all Li Zhan's thoughts were spent on reversing the case. Ji Qingzhou knew that although the process of reversing the case today did not seem tortuous, Li Zhan did many things silently behind the scenes.Otherwise, everything would not be as smooth as it seems today, and no one in the Manchu Dynasty even raised any objections.

"Then I'll go back and have a look with her." Ji Qingzhou said.

Dong Dong looked at Li Zhan upon hearing this, but Li Zhan frowned but didn't say anything.

Now that Ji Qingzhou has regained his freedom and is no longer a servant in the palace, he doesn't need to ask Li Zhan for any decision.Even though he knew that the other party would definitely listen to his opinions, Li Zhan still restrained himself.

Ji Qingzhou's freedom is what he bought with great difficulty, and he even cherishes it more than the other party.

Ji Qingzhou is wearing a white coat and a cape.

He turned around and took a few steps in the direction of the back hall, then suddenly stopped and said to Li Zhan, "Would you like to come to my house for a sit down, my lord?"

Li Zhan: ...

"But I may have to ask Xiaoshan to borrow some tea to go back. I can't let the prince come to the door for the first time and can't even drink hot tea..." Ji Qingzhou joked.

Li Zhan looked at the young man with a smile in his eyes, and said with a bit of a joke in his tone: "Then I will 'take the time' to go to your house for a while."
