auspicious time has come

After the turmoil subsided, the new emperor ascended the throne and changed his reign name to Guanning.

In the army and above the court, the liquidation of the rebels and Li Wei's party members was carried out in an orderly manner.

The crown prince returned to the imperial court and ascended the throne, Li Wei obeyed the law, Lu Longjun guarded outside the capital, and the defense of the capital has been repaired impenetrably—under such circumstances, even those who had previously disagreed could only hide their minions silently when they saw the situation.

Li Wei lost his arm and went crazy, barely survived, he has been demoted to a common man, imprisoned in the Xiaoye Temple, and cannot get out until he dies.

His adopted son Shaoyan got Xiao Mu and Heng Yu to intercede for him, and stated his merits in rescuing the crown prince, so he was freed from being implicated and rewarded for his meritorious deeds. Living in Beijing.

The courtiers all praised the new emperor for his clear rewards and punishments.

Uncle Chang Ning has no real job, and with the clear rewards and punishments, even if he has a long-term plan, it is understandable.

In addition, most of the officials from various places who were persecuted by Li Weiluozhi on charges before have been reinstated or promoted to fill their vacancies.

Seeing that all the rewards, big and small, were rewarded, even the "resurrected" Turkic envoy Gaque, who was said to have been forced to make a deal by the Marquis of Dingbei, left with the reward and the tribute document. Going to Beijing, the courtiers couldn't help muttering in their hearts-why hasn't the new emperor mentioned the matter of rewarding the Marquis of Dingbei?

In the pacification of Li Wei's chaos this time, the Marquis of Dingbei contributed the most. This is an undisputed fact for all to see——

It can't be... just because the Marquis of Dingbei has done too much and has too much power and prestige, the new emperor has a heart of jealousy and suspicion, so he is in a hurry to do something like a dead dog? !

Xindi is confused!
How does this make it?
The turmoil was initially settled, and Ding Beihou's actions showed his loyalty. If the new emperor crossed the river and demolished the bridge at this time, let alone it was not done by humans, no one would be able to bear the consequences alone!

Just sent away a Li Wei, Dasheng Jiangshan Chaotang can't stand the second round of toss!
The ministers who still had lingering fears were more sensible than ever, and they successively reminded the new emperor to reward Dingbeihou——

However, the new emperor only said: "No rush."

How can you be in no hurry?
Lu Longjun is still guarding outside the city!

All the ministers were anxious and went to find Jiang Linggong.

Jiang Linggong is different from Xindi's word "no hurry", at least he gave them three words——

"No hurries."

"!!" All the ministers almost fell on their backs.

Until the morning of the next day, suddenly there was an oracle issued——

The new emperor ordered the Third Academy of Yushitai, Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Justice to re-examine the old case of Shu Guogong's mansion!

The courtiers were all astonished.

Among them, any old man with some seniority knows that the new emperor had a deep friendship with the son of Shu Guogong when he was young, and when Shu Guogong had an accident, the prince had repeatedly risked his life to plead for mercy—

As for Shu Guogong's case, even though no one dared to bring it up, in all fairness, there are indeed doubts...

Xinjun wants to retry the case. After thinking about it, it is not too unexpected... But, why at this time?

Right now, the new emperor is just enthroned for the first time, there are many chaos to be determined, and there are still many urgent matters to be taken care of, why rush to retry such an old case that is bound to cause a sensation in the midst of such a busy schedule?

After nine years of waiting, why rush for this moment?

The officials secretly exchanged glances, and when someone was thinking about speaking out to dissuade them, the leader Jiang Linggong came out and said: "Your Majesty is wise."

Baiguan: "?"

Fine.

Then they all called "Sheng Ming".

The news of the new emperor's decree to retry the old case of the Shi family soon spread from the palace to the people.

If you talk about other old cases that have passed nine years, ordinary people must have no idea where to remember them, but this one is different——

Although nine years have passed, it seems like yesterday.

The Shijia case back then was too sensational. Even though the imperial court strictly prohibited the mention of half a word, it was still imprinted deeply and heavily in the hearts of the people in the capital——

The voice of shouting "Xindi Shengming" spread to almost every street and alley. The case is not clear, but the people of the world seem to have the answer.

Or rather, the answer has always been there.

Even if it is an old case, everything from that year has been erased, but because there are two key witnesses, the truth will soon become clear to the world——

When Yan Junshi and others entered Beijing this time, they secretly brought Xuanpu who was captured by Xiao Mu last year——

The courtiers were very surprised and puzzled. It was clear that when the previous emperor sent an imperial envoy to Beidi to ask for this person, the Marquis of Dingbei claimed that this person was dead... so it turned out to be an evasive lie?

Why did Beihou Ding detain this person privately?

As for whether Ding Beihou is suspected of deceiving the emperor...that...it seems that it is not the most important thing now!
The most important thing is that this Xuanpu confessed the fact that he conspired with others back then to frame Duke Shu as collaborating with Khitan!
And another witness... Qizhen, a confidant next to Li Wei, also quickly confirmed Xuanpu's words.

Qizhen has confessed everything in the past.

Only then did everyone realize that the Shu Guogong case was actually framed by Li Wei!
Even Mr. Qinghan, the Taifu of the Ji family, was silenced by him!
"What this poisonous woman has done... everything is really appalling!"

"His wolfish ambitions have really been preserved early!"

As the truth of the old case became clear, countless voices of indignation and scolding filled the court and the opposition.

However, after the indignation, there was only regret and desolation left.

Some people who used to be good friends with Shu Guo, or admired him, did not dare to show sadness and regret in front of others until this time.

"What's wrong with Min Hui, that he was framed like this... Even if his name is cleared today, but the whole family of Shi's family has been wrongly punished, who can tell the truth that has come so late."

"The Shi family has been loyal for generations, but now there is not a single descendant left who can take over the edict of redressing injustice..."

After the sigh, there was a long silence.

Nine years ago, the whole family of Shi's family was beheaded for public display. Some people in Beijing disregarded the death order of the imperial court and secretly threw paper money in various places in the city to see Shi's family off.

Nine years later, the Shi family's grievances have been wronged, and the people back then can only use the same method to inform the dead of the Shi family with the news of the old case being rehabilitated.

Until the morning of the next day——

"When the old case of the Shi family is cleared up, my heart is at ease, but I am very responsible."

The new emperor held the imperial decree to rehabilitate the Shi family, personally descended the imperial steps, and walked slowly to the officials, but faced Xiao Mu, the head of the military officers, and passed the imperial decree with both hands: "Respect, it is the Li family who is ashamed. Yu Shi's family is full of families, and Shi's family has thousands of soldiers, I know that the fault has already been made, and no matter how you make up for it now, it is impossible to save the old man's life—"

Under the astonished gaze cast by all the officials, the new emperor's eyes turned red.

At this moment, he is a king, a close friend, and a debtor with a guilty conscience. He does not have those solemn or gracious words, but sincerely said: "I dare not stand in front of the tomb of General Shi. To ask for forgiveness, I can only return this truth to the world, I hope you will be safe and healthy in the future, get back the old things of the Shi family, revive the soldiers of the Shi family, and comfort the spirits of all the heroes in the sky."

In the main hall, there was a great deal of voices.

Ding Bei Hou him, he...? !

Looking into the eyes of the young new emperor, the tall young man slowly raised his hand and accepted the imperial edict.

At this moment, Xindi's eyes were red, but it seemed as if the boulder in his heart had finally been removed.

In the past nine years, this old case has never left his mind for a moment——

Knowing that his friend is still alive, he is extremely grateful, but also feels extremely owed and even ashamed to face it.

At this moment, the benefactor was not he, the emperor, but the person who took over the imperial decree.

"The old case of the Shi family has been clarified, and today is an auspicious day." The new emperor faced all the officials and said, "It coincides with an auspicious day, so it is a good time to share this good news with all your dear ones—"

There was silence in the hall, and everyone almost held their breaths.

"Xiao Mu, Marquis of Dingbei, is actually a descendant of the Shi family, the son of the late Shu Guogong, respected by Shi—"

The new emperor's exceptionally clear voice resounded in the hall.

In the Yanying Hall, which was quiet for a moment, there was an uproar immediately.

Countless pairs of eyes stared at the young figure in shock.

This astonishing news quickly reached the ears of the current queen through the mouth of the palace people.

The queen was repeatedly frightened, and now she is raising her baby on the couch in the bedroom. At this time, Princess Jiayi and Hengyu are accompanying her.

"...Empress, Dingbeihou is actually a descendant of the Shi family! He is the son of Shu Guogong, and he was the companion of His Majesty when he was young!"

The palace people were shocked, but they saw that there was no other person in the palace who looked surprised except him.

The queen smiled and looked at Heng Yu, full of emotion.

"Let the dining room prepare the food and drinks for the family banquet..." The queen told Nanny Xiang: "After the court is over, His Majesty will definitely entertain old friends."

Nanny Xiang responded with a smile.

"Oh, and also, bring some ice cubes and wrap them in soft gauze." The queen confessed again: "Your Majesty's eyes are probably swollen from crying, so be prepared."

Nanny Xiang couldn't help laughing, and responded with a smile.

Hengyu also smiled.

The atmosphere in the hall is harmonious and warm.

……

With Xiao Mu's identity revealed to the public, the belated reward finally arrived.

"Your Majesty appointed Jiedu Envoy Xiao as King Fan Yang, and he will still occupy the original position of Jiedu Envoy to lead the Lu Long Army!"

Mrs. Yu and Gu Tingnan came back from outside and told Mrs. Meng and Ning Yu the news.

Hearing this news, a stone in Mrs. Meng's heart fell to the ground, and she nodded with a smile: "Fanyang is a good place, it is only separated from Yingzhou by a willow city, and it also belongs to Lu Longdao... Your Majesty's intentions, the most holy Ming, benevolent and sincere.”

Seal the king and guard the frontier, release it to the old land, do not reduce the military power, but increase the jurisdiction——

It is hundreds of times and a thousand times better than leaving someone in the capital to inherit the old title of the Shi family in the name of making up for it.

"This is the long-term way..." Mrs. Meng said with a smile.

Hearing what her grandmother said, Ning Yu was relieved, but also had other worries: "Then... Xiao Yuer is going to marry far away?"

"Then let's go to Fan Yang together!" Yu said with bright eyes, "I lived in Fan Yang's aunt's house for several years when I was young. There are mountains and seas there, but it's a good place!"

"Ah Niang, I'm going too..." Ah Shu said while shaking her mother's dress.

Gu Tingnan clapped his hands and said: "This method is good, Fan Yang and Yingzhou are also close, it will be convenient for us to come and see each other then."

Ning Yu, who seldom leaves the capital, also yearns for it.

"There's no word yet on the marriage, but all of you have become dowries?" Mrs. Meng shook her head and laughed.

The members of the Yu family were still not less interested, anyway, it was just the family talking in private first.

In the evening, when Ji Nanxian returned home, Hengyu also came back, so Mrs. Yu pulled Hengyu and talked about this plan again.

Heng Yu didn't think it was too early to speak, so she happily joined the discussion.

She didn't want to marry far away and leave home, if she could bring her home with her, it would be great.

Ji Nanxian listened stunned for a while, and felt that he needed to ask a question——

"You all went to Fan Yang, so what should I do?"

After saying this, Yu Shi Hengyu and others all looked at him.

After a moment of silence, Yu Shi said: "That's right, I forgot about you..."

Seeing the family's reaction, Ji Nanxian took a breath.

Forget it and forget it, but they don't feel ashamed, what's the matter with them instead!

As if he was a nuisance!
"Your Majesty has just been enthroned, and you have been promoted again... and stay in the capital with peace of mind." Yu Shi thought about it and said, "Don't worry, I will come back to see you during the holidays."

He said again: "When half of the cup is bigger, I will send him back to be your companion."

Ji Nanxian: "!"

When someone else marries a younger sister, it is the younger sister who marries——

How did he get here... It seems that he married out alone?
It was Ah Heng who got married, but he became the one who left home?
What's the point!
Today in the palace, His Majesty was complacent about the original bet. He was already full of grievances after losing the bet. He never expected to face such cruel things when he returned home——

Ji Nanxian wished he could hold his infant son and cry bitterly.

……

Soon, the Marquis of Dingbei—no, Wang Fanyang's marriage with Shi Jingzhi became an existence that moved the hearts of the officials and dignitaries in Beijing.

It was only because the new king had spoken in the early court that he would let him go back to the north after he wanted to save time and respect him in Beijing and get married.

start a family -

Can't you marry a wife?
This Jiedu Envoy has not yet made an engagement, and the marriage is still pending!
All of a sudden, countless matchmakers came to chat with Mrs. Xiao, many of whom were from aristocratic families—if the former envoy Xiao was still regarded as an upstart in the eyes of these aristocratic families, getting married would not be easy consider.

But the son of the Shi family is not a reckless upstart, but a serious and serious family.

Moreover, he is powerful and has the emperor's heart so much. If he can marry off his daughter, it is not an exaggeration to say that if a daughter is married, the whole family will be promoted.

"What's the matter with you brat? You haven't asked Ah Heng to forgive you yet?"

"I just ask people to dismiss those matchmakers all day long, and I'm going to wear out my tongue!"

On this day, when Shi Jingzhi returned from the palace to visit his mother in the inner courtyard, he inevitably got scolded.

"Tomorrow, tomorrow you will come to the door to make amends—" Mrs. Xiao issued a strict order: "You can't coax Ah Heng into calming down, and you don't want to come back!"

……

Therefore, in the early morning of the next day, when the sky was just getting brighter, two distinguished guests from Ji's family came to the door with generous gifts.

"Old lady, Xiao...the envoy of the season has come—" A female envoy hurriedly went to report to old lady Meng: "Jiang Linggong is also accompanying me!"

Mrs. Meng was having breakfast accompanied by the juniors at home, when she heard this, she put down her spoon and looked at Hengyu.

Heng Yu was also at a loss - why did this person come so early?

Why did you bring Jiang Linggong with you?

"I'll go and have a look!" Ji Nanxian got up, inexplicably feeling as if he was facing a formidable enemy.
