Vol 2 Chapter 35: Thorough investigation of old cases

After Xu Yunchu's uncle's wife was buried, after hearing the emperor's summons, he dared not delay, so he immediately entered the palace.
The emperor summoned him in the royal study room.
After Xu Yunchu prostrated himself, the emperor made him flat, and after he straightened up, he took a close look at him, calmly and honestly, "Is Mrs. Guo's uncle in peace?"
Xu Yunchu nodded in response, "The burial was just finished."
The emperor asked slowly, "Like your father, did you not enter the tomb of Xu Jiazu?"
Xu Yunchu nodded again, "Yes."
The emperor looked at him and saw that his eyebrows were faintly tired, but his back was very straight, standing in front of him, neither humble nor arrogant, calm and steady, he asked one question, he answered one, and never said anything that shouldn't be said. He is a well-deserved man of both civil and military skills. He is the blessing of the Xu family, and he is worthy of the descendants of the country's head. It is no wonder that he resigned decisively for his grandson to enter the court.
Although the Yuegui concubine case really has nothing to do with the governor, the uncle of the country is always a member of the governor's mansion. If he really wants to care, the governor's manor will always be unable to evade the crime. Now that he pardons the mansion of the state chief is not guilty, if the state chief is still unable to think about it as before, can't see through, and don't know how to advance or retreat, then he doesn't have to worry about it anymore.
The relatives can sit up, but they can't really become tigers.
Fortunately, after this difficult situation, the governor knew that the advance and retreat had converged, he resigned from office and confessed to his old age, and resigned from the court. It was always a good thing.
In this way, the Xu family is still available.
As for how to use...
The emperor looked at Xu Yunchu, and after a while, he asked him softly, "Do you know why I didn't condemn your mother and then offend the Guozhang Mansion?"
Xu Yunchu lowered his head and said, "The emperor loves the mansion of the country."
The emperor laughed, "Yunchu, when you talk about it, you want to call me uncle, but since I was a child, I have never heard you call it." When the words fell, he said, "If it's Ye Chang, you heard me ask. , He will surely talk nonsense in front of me, but he will definitely not say that it is my love for the country’s residence."
Xu Yunchu looked up at the emperor, smiled slightly, and said softly, "Yunchu is no better than Ye Shizi, and dare not presumptuously in front of the emperor. The Xu family's rules are strict, and I envy Ye Shizi's free and easy way. I can't learn from him. "
The emperor laughed again when he heard the words, "What you said is absolutely right. The rules of the Rong'an Palace have long been eaten by him. He has no rules since he was a child, and he can't follow the rules in front of me." He smiled and said, "You don't need to envy him, and naturally you don't need to learn from him. You were born in the prestigious mansion, and to this day, the prefectural mansion is still prominent. How a person survives is doomed by birth, you are you, and he is him. "
Xu Yunchu nodded honestly.
The emperor looked at him and said, "I didn’t sin against your mother’s palace because of your mother. It’s not that I didn’t want to take advantage of this crime. As an emperor, I have to weigh the pros and cons. Heaven, often suppress the imperial power, but in the end did not do anything wicked to deceive the emperor. I have to say that although the head of the country is cunning, but he is not so courageous, he didn’t try to deceive me to death. On the one hand, I think it's impossible to beat the Guozhang's mansion to death with a stick at once, and there are reasons why it is useful."
Xu Yunchu truly nodded again.
The emperor said again, "Fighting with the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the treasury was greatly depleted, and the Northern Zhou Dynasty renewed its troops. Now it is a big defeat. It is bound to be unwilling. Chu Han has been staying at the border, fearing that he has plans to re-emerge the troops. It’s good, it’s broken, and it’s altogether easy. It has never caused a big turmoil in the ruling and opposition parties, but it doesn’t mean that this matter is over."
Xu Yunchu looked at the emperor and knew that he must have made arrangements for him to summon him alone today, and nodded again.
The emperor continued, "The case of King Rong'an and the princess died in battle twelve years ago, and the case of the Lingshan plague four years ago. I have been kept in the dark. Although it is not the time to investigate thoroughly, I cannot. I’ve revealed this. Otherwise, I’m sorry to Rong’an, the princess and the countless soldiers who were buried on the battlefield, and to the subjects of Lingshan, let alone the history books. I am not only weak, but also a stupid monarch.

Xu Yunchu spoke at this moment, "The emperor Shengming."
The emperor laughed, "I am not a sage. If I are a true sage, there will be nothing like this." After the words fell, he looked at Xu Yunchu, "If I hand over these two major cases to you for thorough investigation, you will be satisfied. how is it?"
When the emperor just spoke, Xu Yunchu had already faintly expected that, after hearing this, he pursed his lips and said, "In the case of King Rong'an and the princess died in battle twelve years ago, Concubine Yue intervened in the Ministry of War secretly, through...my mother's hand, Concubine officials in North Korea and the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Four years ago, the Lingshan plague case was also secretly intervened by Concubine Yue. The officials hid the mountain plague without rescue and finally caused the bones to become a mountain. These two major cases, Although Concubine Yue Gui is dead, if the investigation continues, it will shake the court officialdom. I don’t know how many people were involved..."
The emperor nodded, "Exactly."
Xu Yunchu looked at the emperor, "So, the emperor wanted Yunchu how to investigate? Is it to investigate the officialdom? To move the country's style, change the official style? Or to investigate the police officials? Stabilize the government? Regimen? To prepare for another war in the Northern Zhou Dynasty ?"
The emperor said with a smile, "If you can ask such things like this, you will live up to your talent. Some people are proud of their talents, and some people learn to use them." When the words fell, he said sternly, "If you say, I want to take care of both? Can you do it?"
Xu Yunchu was startled when he heard the words, bowed his head, and said in a deep voice, "The minister is doing his best."
The emperor nodded and said, "Well, I will not grant you official positions for the time being. These two major cases will be handed over to you for thorough investigation. When Ye Chang investigated the case, I did not give him one or a half official positions, but the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple. I have full authority to cooperate with him, and I will give you this convenience. The case is well investigated, and I will give you a reward. If the investigation is not good, I will not condemn you mercilessly."
Xu Yun first bowed his head, "Yes."
The emperor said to the servant officer on the side, "Fictitious."
The chambermaid quickly drafted it.
The emperor handed the drafted imperial decree to Xu Yunchu. Xu Yunchu accepted the decree and thanked him, and the emperor waved to him, "Today the king resigns, the queen mother must be uncomfortable in her heart. Go and see the queen mother."
Xu Yunchu nodded, took the imperial decree, and quit the Imperial Study Room.
After Xu Yunchu left, the emperor asked Xiaoquanzi, "What's the news from Prince Rong'an? Can Ye Chang really wake up?"
Koizumi shook her head, "It is said that she hasn't woken up yet. She was given water and medicine last night. Although it spilled most of it, she ate some food. Miss Su said that he could wake up today, but..."
"But what?" the emperor asked immediately.
Koizumi hurriedly said, "Miss Su said, Ye Shizi's heart is hurt too badly, and now it is a big blessing to wake up. I am afraid that it will take two months to get better. As for the root of the disease, It depends on whether the patient is obediently healed. If he does not obediently heal, he will suffer from heart palpitations in the future."
The emperor heard the words, "Does he dare to heal his wounds obediently?" When the words fell, he asked Koizumi, "Do you know who Ye Chang is most afraid of?"
"Who is afraid of?" Koizumi thought after thinking, and said, "Afraid of you?"
The emperor shook his head and hummed, "He is not afraid of me."
Koizumi thought hard again, "King Jin?"
The emperor still shook his head, "He is not afraid of King Jin."
Koizumi wanted to break his head and said, "Queen Dowager?"
The emperor sneered, "He has always avoided the Queen Mother since he was a child, but that is not because he is afraid, but because he dislikes the Queen Mother and is domineering."
When Koizumi saw him talking about the three of them, they were all rejected by the emperor. He shook his head and said, "Everyone said that Ye Shizi was never afraid of the heavens. Since he was not afraid of the emperor, the king of Jin, and the queen mother, the slave really couldn’t think of Ye Shizi’s fear Who is it."
The emperor hummed, "He must be afraid of the little girl from the Su family."
"Huh?" Koizumi lost his voice, looking at the emperor in surprise.
The emperor snorted, "That day, after Ye Chang blocked me, the little girl came, and the boy said something to the little girl, saying that he was okay. I heard clearly. I could see clearly that the little girl’s face was as sinking as water, and she ignored him. Looking at her expression, she was extremely angry. After that, she asked me whether she wanted Concubine Yue to die or Concubine Yue to live. I said she wanted her to die. She simply killed Concubine Yue without a trace. That sword pierced through the neck..."
Koizumi was there that day, and she feels terrified even today when she thinks about what happened that day.
The emperor continued, "After that, she and Ye Xi took Ye Chang's boy out of the palace and returned to the mansion for treatment. You see that little girl is also used to playing tricks, and when you think about it, she looks very much like that boy."
Koizumi raised his eyes to look at the emperor and asked tentatively, "So, Ye Shizi and Miss Su...have known each other long ago?"
The emperor said, "Naturally. The little girl said that twelve years ago, she also went to the battlefield, and met since childhood, and both of them are slickers. If they have been communicating in secret, the relationship will naturally be extraordinary." , He laughed angrily, "Two little bastards, they are concealed."
Koizumi Zixun, thinking that since Ye Shizi and Miss Su have known each other since childhood, they have been communicating in secret. What are the gossips about Ye Shizi disgusting Miss Su Mansion that are rumored in Beijing...
The emperor said, "You go to Rong'an Palace again, and wake up guarding Ye Chang. When he wakes up, I will tell him my will and let him heal his injuries. If he has a good body, I will consider giving him a marriage. It's a matter. If he can't maintain his body, don't think about marriage."
Koizumiko responded quickly.
The emperor waved his hand and said, "You go now."
Koizumi hurriedly left the Imperial Study and headed to the Royal Palace of Rong'an.
