The old case of Prince Zhaohuai was interrogated by the three divisions led by the regent, and the Jinyiwei and the six gates assisted in the investigation. Several departments cooperated with Beijing, Beijing and Beijing to investigate for a whole month. Finally, the facts of this old case more than ten years ago have been investigated, and all the witnesses and material evidence have been verified to be true.

As soon as the truth came out, there was an uproar between the government and the public. Since the founding of the country, the Daying Dynasty has never had such an ancient and strange grievance. It still involves the empress, prince, chief assistant, Duke and other royal officials. The treacherous party wants to cause chaos Chao Gang, shake the country!

For a while, the officials and the people who knew the truth were filled with righteous indignation, and all the officials petitioned to severely punish the real culprits such as Guo Jiuchen and King Huai. If these people were not severely punished, how could the court establish prestige among the people and appease the anger of the people?

In response to the performance of all officials, the emperor decreed to rehabilitate Empress Xu, Prince Zhaohuai and others, posthumously title the deceased, and move the coffins of the late Empress Xu and Prince Zhaohuai into the imperial mausoleum. He also pardoned all those who were implicated in this case and convicted and are still alive, and rewarded them generously.

He also decreed that the families of the vassal kings involved in the case, such as King Huai and King Xin, be stripped of their ancestry, abolished as common people, and moved to remote and bitter cold places, and ordered the sinful kings to commit suicide. Guo Jiuchen was executed by Ling Chi in front of the tombs of Xu and Shu. To comfort the spirits of the two families in heaven.

After the decree was issued, it was the time of the Mid-Autumn Festival. The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Shen Ying ordered someone to find a mage to go to the Taimiao to save the ancestors' spirits. At that time, the emperor led the prince and all the civil and military officials to pay homage in front of the spiritual tablets of Empress Xu, Prince Zhaohuai and others.

When the sacrifice was over, Shen Ying ordered all the officials to leave first, leaving only Gu Min to accompany him. He led Shen Huairong to Xu Wenjie's tablet, touched the back of the child's head, and said, "Huairong, kneel down."

Shen Huairong glanced at Shen Ying inexplicably, but obediently knelt down on the futon in front of him.

Shen Ying pointed to the tablet in front of her, "Huairong, kowtow three times to your grandfather."

Shen Huairong blinked blankly, "Grandfather? Father, who is Huairong's grandfather?"

Shen Ying turned her head to look at Gu Min, and slowly said: "His name is Xu Wenjie, he is a loyal minister with real talents, noble morals, and concern for the country and the people. Huairong, you must always remember this name, he is Your mother's father is your grandfather, and he will be like your grandfather in the future, he will be a person with the world in his heart, you know?"

Huairong was only six years old and lacked the care of his parents since he was a child. Naturally, he had no affection for a grandfather who appeared out of nowhere, but he listened to Shen Ying very much. He would do whatever Shen Ying asked him to do, so he nodded and said, "Huairong knew."

After finishing speaking, he raised his two small hands up to his eyebrows, and bowed three times to Xu Wenjie's tablet respectfully and uprightly, then raised his head to look at Xu Wenjie's tablet, and solemnly said Said: "Grandfather, Huai Rong will definitely be like you, a person with the world in mind."

Both Shen Ying and Gu Min looked at the sensible face in relief, and they all felt a sense of successors in their hearts.

God has treated them kindly, not only allowing them to find the love of their life, but also sending their arms to them. Now that the unjust case has been rehabilitated, the government is clear, and the country is stable, there is no better time than now.

Shen Ying bent down to hug Rong Rong, and helped him straighten his clothes, "Go out and find the servants first, and let them take you back to the palace. Father and the regent still have something to do here."

Shen Huairong obediently left the hall, and when the child left, Shen Ying walked up to Xu Wenjie's memorial tablet, lifted up his clothes, and made a gesture to kneel down, Gu Min hurriedly stepped forward to support him, "Your Majesty, no! "

"Why not?" Shen Ying smiled lightly and brushed Gu Min's hand away, "I am not kneeling down as a subject as a monarch, but as a junior, kneeling down to a senior. Since he is your father, he deserves to be my father." A salute."

Gu Min's chest warmed up when he heard the words, and he didn't stop him any more. Instead, he knelt down to his father's spiritual tablet side by side with Shen Ying, kowtowed and said silently in his heart: Father, my son has lived up to your expectations. Let the Xu family wash away their grievances, if you are alive in heaven, please bless Huairong with peace and success, bless my emperor with peace and happiness, and bless Daying Jiangshan with peace forever!



In July and August, Gu Min has been busy investigating cases, and Shen Ying can't go to the palace alone to escape the heat. Fortunately, this summer is not very hot, even in the palace, it is not so unbearable.

The second day is the annual Mid-Autumn Festival. All the officials have to go home for the holiday, and the emperor is no exception. Every Mid-Autumn Festival, there will be a night banquet in the palace, but this year Shen Ying shrugged off her physical discomfort. Prince Huai was rehabilitated, and it was not suitable for a big deal, so he ordered the banquet to be waived, and ordered all the palaces to be vegetarian this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, to express their condolences to Empress Xu and Prince Zhaohuai.

Once the night banquet is avoided, Shen Ying will quietly take Gu Min and Shen Huairong to the Royal Garden to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with those relatives of the emperor who are obviously unfamiliar and pretend to be friendly.

Shen Ying asked someone to set the table in the garden of the other garden. On an autumn night, with a bright moon in the sky, a cool evening breeze, the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus floated in the air, and fireflies were flying among the flowers. Although there was no singing and dancing to add to the fun , There is no good food and wine, but the best reunion is the family being together.

The three of them sat around the table, and the table was filled with vegetarian dishes. The mooncakes were also made with vegetarian fillings. The mooncakes filled with bean paste mixed with sweet-scented osmanthus were moderately sweet, and they were very popular with Shen Huairong. When he stretched his claws into the plate to take the third piece, he was stopped by Gu Min.

Gu Min said solemnly: "I ate too much sweets at night and couldn't digest them. I already ate two pieces just now, so don't eat any more."

Ever since Gu Min took over the role of "Strict Father", he took on the important task of urging the prince to study, so Shen Huairong was still a little afraid of Gu Min, the little fat claw reluctantly shrank back, turned his head and looked at Shen eagerly. Ying, with those aggrieved little eyes, made it clear that he wanted Shen Ying to vent his anger on him.

Shen Ying's temper is naturally protective. His parents used to educate him in an open way, and they never taught him so many rules. Live life as you like, so he gave Gu Min a dissatisfied look, "Happy for the holidays today. Why don't you just let him eat another piece?"

Gu Min brought the whole plate of mooncakes in front of him, and said slowly: "Children who eat too much sweets will become picky eaters, have tooth decay, and affect their growth. This is what the imperial doctor said. Has the emperor forgotten it?"

Shen Ying narrowed her eyes, and remembered that the imperial doctor had indeed said so, "It seems that there is such a thing, Huairong, let's not eat moon cakes today, okay?" Put it in Shen Huairong's bowl, and said with a smile, "Eat a la carte, eat more vegetables to grow taller."

Shen Huairong felt that Shen Ying was partial to helping Gu Min, she pouted unhappily, and said angrily, "Father doesn't care about Huai Rong anymore!"

Shen Ying asked amusedly: "Father, why doesn't he love Huai Rong anymore?"

Shen Huairong raised his eyes and quickly glanced at Gu Min, and said aggrievedly: "Father only listens to the regent king, and the regent bullies Huairong, but father doesn't care."

Now Gu Min finds it funny, "When did this king bully the prince?"

Shen Huairong jumped off the stool and threw herself into Shen Ying's arms, sobbing and said: "Ever since the regent came back, father never slept with Huairong again, and the regent always gave Huairong a lot of homework, if you finish No, he won't allow Huairong to eat snacks, Father, didn't you say that the regent is a good person? But he treats Huairong badly, woo woo woo!"

Shen Ying patted Shen Huairong's back to coax the child, while looking at Gu Min with malicious intent, her eyes seemed to say, let you be so strict with Huairong, now it's all right, look how much your nephew despises you uncle!

Gu Min was also very helpless, but he had to maintain the image of a "strict father" and couldn't be too kind to the child, so he silently asked Shen Ying for help with his eyes, hoping that he could say something nice for him.

Unexpectedly, Shen Ying touched the child's head, but what she said was: "Don't cry in your arms, that's right, the regent is bad, father will give you a day off tomorrow, you don't have to do your homework tomorrow, have a good time!" Would you like to play for a day?"

Shen Huairong immediately smiled through tears, and clapped his hands: "Okay! Thank you, Father!"

Gu Min frowned in disapproval, "Your Majesty!" Do you teach children like this?

Shen Ying ignored his accusing eyes, reached out and took a piece of mooncake, divided it into three parts, gave one piece to Gu Min first, and then asked Shen Huairong with one piece, "Do you want to eat mooncake?"

Shen Huairong cast a smug look at Gu Min, nodded vigorously, and said loudly, "I want to!"

Shen Yingdao: "Recite two poems about the moon and listen to them, and the emperor will give you this mooncake."

Shen Huairong rolled his eyes, shook his head and began to recite poems: "I don't know the moon when I am young, and I call it a white jade plate..."

After Shen Huairong finished reciting it, Shen Ying put the mooncake into the child's hand, praised him and said: "Huairong is awesome, okay, you are not allowed to eat this last piece, you have eaten enough for today, do you understand?" ?”

Shen Huairong took a small bite of the mooncake, nodded happily, "Understood Father!"

Shen Ying raised her eyes to look at Gu Min, and raised her eyebrows, "See? This is called entertaining and teaching. Just educating a child with harsh methods will only backfire and dampen his enthusiasm for studying."

Gu Min smiled lightly and shook his head, compromised: "Okay, you always have a lot of reasons."

The two adults and one child finished sharing a piece of mooncake, and chatted lively for a while. Gu Min looked up at the moon above his head, and it was almost the hour of Hai, so he told the eunuch, "It's getting late." , take the prince down to rest, and take care of him."

When the eunuch led the child out of the garden, Gu Min got up and stretched out a hand to Shen Ying, looked at him with a smile and asked: "It's such a fine night, would the emperor wish to go to the garden with his ministers?"

Shen Ying raised her hand and put it in his palm, stood up with strength, stretched her waist, and said lazily: "Let's go, it's not interesting to sit all the time."

Gu Min suddenly lowered his head and laughed twice, there was a hint of weirdness in the laughter.

Shen Ying looked at him suspiciously, "What are you laughing at?"

Gu Min didn't answer immediately, but waved his hand to prevent the palace servants from coming over. He pulled Shen Ying by the sleeve and led him into the garden. After he was out of the palace crowd's sight, he whispered in Shen Ying's ear: "Mr. Someone set up a swing in the depths of the garden, tonight, the emperor will not be bored..."
