Doting on concubines and destroying wives?Come back and spread your family's ashes

Gu Junheng mentioned the Wen family case without hesitation.

"Father, what the prince said is reasonable. Prime Minister Wen was clear and upright back then. How could he suddenly reveal such things as collaborating with the enemy and treason? It is always a bit strange to say this at this time. Please ask your father to order a new Hear the case of that year.”

After Gu Junheng said these words, the prince stood up without any hesitation and agreed with Gu Junheng's words.

But after the two of them finished speaking, the entire imperial study room was extremely calm.

These ministers looked at each other and saw the solemnity and shock in each other's eyes.

Then several people couldn't help but look at the emperor above.

Sure enough, he saw the emperor. His expression, which was as calm as water, became even darker, as if a violent storm was about to break out.

Everyone knows that in the Wen family case, the person who made the final conclusion was the emperor, and the person who made the judgment and announced it to the world was also the emperor.

The prince and Gu Junheng asked the emperor to order a retrial of Wen's case.

Isn’t it just saying that the emperor’s decision back then was wrong?

If there is really any injustice in the Wen family case, how should the emperor deal with himself and face the people of the world?

Everyone thought that the emperor was furious because of Long Wei.

But he just looked at Gu Junheng and the prince calmly.

"Why did you suddenly mention this matter?"

Or should I say that everything has been decided a long time ago, and now I just found an opportunity.

At this time, the emperor suddenly felt a little disappointed with the prince and Gu Junheng.

Both of them were trained by themselves.

One is established as the crown prince, and will inherit the throne and take charge of the country in the future.

One is the head of Ye Youming, holding supreme power. In the future, after the prince ascends the throne, he will be superior to tens of thousands of people.

But at this time, these two people actually joined forces to force him to try a major case that year, making him the first emperor to admit his mistakes to the world.

"When I went to Tongzhou, an orphan of the Wen family complained to me about injustice. There were also disciples of Prime Minister Wen who stated what happened back then. They also presented multiple evidences. The matter of collaborating with the enemy and treason was indeed framed by someone."

Gu Junheng was neither humble nor arrogant, and explained the words he had prepared in a calm tone.

"More than ten years have passed since the frame-up happened, and now suddenly a descendant of the Wen family is crying out for injustice. It's a bit late. After all, many things that happened back then are no longer able to be investigated."

The Prime Minister Zuo frowned and said, this is a fact, not a biased statement.

"As long as you search carefully, you will definitely find clues. What's more, the descendants of the Wen family and Wen Xiang's disciples have sufficient evidence. If this is the case, there is no difficulty in retrial."

It seemed that he had expected someone to say this, and Gu Junheng answered quickly.

The emperor remained silent, just looked at the people below quietly, and finally focused on the prince.

The prince also said nothing, but looked at the emperor with firm eyes, proving that he had the same idea as Gu Junheng.

They are all willing to believe that Wen's case was a miscarriage of justice and that Wen was unjustly convicted.

So you have to push yourself.

"Your Majesty, at this juncture, advocated a retrial of Wen's case. I don't know whether it is because he feels that Wen was really wronged, or because you are Wen Xiang's disciple, so you want to avenge your mentor."

Xu Huaian stood behind and said slowly, with a little confusion on his face.

Gu Junheng was a close disciple of Prime Minister Wen Cheng, but few people knew about it.

After all, Gu Junheng had always been a dandy in the past and could not be taught. No one would have thought that Prime Minister Wen, who was upright and elegant, would accept Gu Junheng as his disciple.

But the emperor and the prince definitely couldn't hide it.

But how did Xu Huaian know? Gu Junheng immediately turned to look at Xu Huaian. His sharp eyes were full of hostility.

Xu Huai'an's words seemed to remind the emperor that like the other ministers, especially the emperor, his face became more and more difficult to look at.

"Gu Junheng, are you really, as Huaian said, just getting close to your mentor, so you think the verdict was wrong and want to avenge Wen?"

As soon as the emperor said these words, it was obvious that he did not trust Gu Junheng's motives.

"Your Majesty, no matter what the reason is, since someone has made a complaint and produced evidence, both public and private matters must be taken seriously, not to mention that this matter is related to the peace of the country."

Isn’t the matter of collaboration with the enemy and treason related to the stability of the country? Gu Junheng was right to say such things.

"Who are the descendants of the Wen family, and who are Wen Xiang's disciples?"

The emperor closed his eyes, then opened them again, and asked casually, no one could tell what he was thinking.

"After the Wen family is Prime Minister Wen's granddaughter, Wen Chengjin, and that disciple is named Li Shuting. They are all in the capital at this time, advocating for a retrial of the Wen family case."

Gu Junheng answered sentence by sentence.

Then he hesitated and continued to speak.

"The two of them complained about the matter in Tongzhou, and many people knew about it, and they all advocated a retrial of Wen's case."

The thoughts of the people are the foundation of the country.

Gu Junheng understood, and so did the emperor.

In order to retry Wen's case this time, Gu Junheng also tried his best and risked being punished by the emperor.

"It seems that you have thought about it a long time ago. If that's the case, then let's retry it."

The words that were neither light nor serious made Gu Junheng breathe a sigh of relief.

As long as he agrees to a retrial, he will be confident that Wen will be innocent.

The Wen family has been pure and sincere for generations, and the teacher is dedicated to serving the country. If he is always burdened with infamy, how can he be a disciple?

"Your Majesty is wise."

Gu Junheng knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the emperor respectfully.

The prince also saluted with a solemn face.

These two people seemed to take Wen very seriously. Well, back then, Prime Minister Wen was not only Gu Junheng's master, but also taught the prince poetry.

They are called monarchs and ministers, but they are actually masters and disciples.

"The right prime minister will be punished before he is sentenced. As for Wen's case, it will be handed over to the prince, the left prime minister, and King Jin to jointly try it. Xu Huai'an will assist from the side. There must be no mistakes. As for the other matters, we will wait for later."

The emperor was obviously angry, especially with Gu Junheng.

Even Xu Huaian was involved in such a big matter, but Gu Junheng was not allowed to touch it.

But this was also within Gu Junheng's expectation.

But it doesn't matter. He knows that Wen was framed for treason. Now there is sufficient evidence. As long as he investigates carefully, he will definitely be able to clear Wen's innocence.

"I'm tired, please leave."

The emperor waved his hands tiredly, and everyone retreated.

But when they were saying goodbye, the emperor took a deep look at Gu Junheng.

Today is the small court meeting, and the emperor does not need to go, but he is really depressed and angry in his heart.

"Come here, please ride to the Chaoyang Palace. I'll go see Concubine Jade." (End of Chapter)
