Huafanchunzhengming

Chapter 612
Princess Huguo didn't take it seriously, and asked Chonghua: "Your Majesty, this old idiot dare not do this, but he is really stupid enough. Please give this old bastard a chance, how about asking him to make amends?"

There was a cunning flash in Chonghua's eyes, and he said expressionlessly: "It depends on what he does. Anyway, the assassin insisted that he did it. If he wants to prove his innocence, he has to take action."

What His Majesty the Emperor desires most at present is nothing more than to change the situation where Zhong Weiwei and his brother are shouting and beating each other, so that Zhong Weiwei's movements are not restricted, and it is best to be able to live in the palace.

Chuan Li understood that His Majesty the Emperor did not necessarily believe the assassin's confession, and it was only true that he had to take the opportunity to pinpoint him.

But when he thought about that incident back then, his heart was still extremely heavy: "But..."

The Great Princess Protector interrupted him sharply: "There is nothing wrong! If you make mistakes, you must correct them. You still have a sense of shame when you are young. How come you have no shame when you are old?"

As if a basin of cold water was pouring down his head, Chuan Li shuddered, knelt in front of Chong Hua and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, the old minister is guilty and willing to be punished."

Chonghua narrowed his eyes slightly: "What's your crime?"

Chuan Li turned his heart and said loudly: "Back then, the case of Qiu Ze was tried by the veteran and Yang Da and others. There were many doubts in it, but for some reason, Emperor Zhenzong and Yang Da had to put him to death. With Webster and Lu interfering, the old minister acted against his conscience to regret in order not to implicate his wife, children and disciples."

Chonghua said seriously: "Didn't you tell a lie just to cater to me? If Qiu Ze really betrayed the country, even though I love Chong Qiuming, I wouldn't be so confused."

Chuan Li's eyes showed a look of ruin, and he said loudly: "Returning to His Majesty, the veteran will guarantee with his head that Qiu Ze did not treason. He only offended Yang Da and the Lu family, so he will be suspicious of His Majesty."

Yang Da was the favorite minister of Zhenzong back then, and he was considered a powerful figure. When Zhenzong died, he committed suicide in front of Zhenzong's spirit, saying that he was willing to follow Zhenzong underground.

When Chuan Li mentioned Yang Da, it was considered dead without evidence.

Chonghua's eyes darkened: "I don't believe you are this kind of person, what is hidden in it?"

Chuan Li lowered his eyes, and kowtowed heavily: "That's how it is. That's why the veteran will obstruct in every possible way when he learns that Zhong Weiwei is Qiu Ze's daughter, fearing that his fame will be ruined."

He paused, and said in a low voice: "Master Wei and his son also intimidated the old minister because they knew about this old incident, and wanted the old minister to advance and retreat with them."

Makes sense too.Veteran ministers like Chuanli value reputation more than life. The most important thing now is to let Zhong Weiwei come out, and other matters can be pursued slowly.

Chonghua asked Chuanli: "If you want to overturn the case, you will have to come forward and plead guilty, have you thought about it?"

Chuan Li raised his eyes to look at Princess Huguo, his eyes were blurred, and there was a hint of expectation.

The Great Princess Protector nodded at him invisibly.

Chuanli felt relieved, and said loudly: "The old minister was originally a humble civilian in the border town. If the Emperor Shenzong hadn't met him with insight, how would he have achieved what he is today? The glory and wealth are originally given by the royal family, so I just want to return them today."

Chonghua couldn't wait: "Then..."

Princess Huguo blamed and said: "It's getting late today, even if you want to surrender, you have to leave some time for someone to go home and make arrangements. Are you afraid that something will happen if you're with me?"

Chonghua saw Chuanli's gray-haired appearance, and remembered that he had worked hard all these years, so he took a step back: "That's fine."

The eldest princess walked out tremblingly, and called Shang Chuanli: "Come here, I have something to tell you."

Chuanli bowed and resigned, catching up with the eldest princess, only to hear Chonghua coldly say from behind: "To retry today's murder case, we must ask the real culprit behind the scenes."

The eldest princess and Chuanli went out one after the other. Seeing that Chuanli was always two steps behind her cautiously, she couldn't help sighing: "You are already half-buried, and you still care about it."

Chuan Li respectfully said: "Her Royal Highness, in the eyes of the veteran, will always be unattainable."

The eldest princess stopped, glanced at him indifferently, and snorted coldly: "Really? Because I'm unattainable, you have been avoiding me all these years?"

Chuan Li said softly: "You are His Royal Highness, Chuan Li is just a commoner from the border town, and finally put on an official robe, but you are already the saint of the Holy Maiden Palace, you are the bright moon in the sky, and the old minister is just a filth on the ground. mud."

"Tsk..." The eldest princess sarcastically said: "It's so sour that you lose your teeth! Forget it, let's not talk about the past, let me ask you, what happened? At this point today, you don't regret it?"

Chuanli was silent for a long time, and said, "Let's talk in the car."

The two supported each other and got into the carriage, and the carriage drove. The Eldest Princess confirmed that no one was eavesdropping, and said, "Let's talk."

Chuanli said: "Qiu Ze was indeed wronged in this matter, but he was not completely wronged. He touched people and things that shouldn't be touched. I'm really not afraid of Zhenzong's threats and Yang Da's threats, let alone Lu's little tricks. , I just promised Emperor Shenzong one thing, even if I die, I will do it well in my life."

At the time of Qiu Ze's case, the eldest princess was not in Beijing, so many things were unclear, and she couldn't help being very surprised when she heard this: "What's the matter?"

Chuan Li kept his secret, and glanced at the direction of the palace.

"Wei Shi and Lu Shi are really the country's sores. The reason why the emperor played this game of chess was to cut the sores."

The eldest princess understood, and let out a long sigh: "I know what you are afraid of, but the Qiu brothers and sisters are not the ones who will be blinded by hatred. Qiu Ming is sincere to His Majesty. If she is the empress, she will be much better than others. When she is firmly seated in the back seat, it will be the best time for us to eradicate Wei and Lu. I just wronged you."

Chuan Li shook his head lightly: "I'm not wronged, I said, this life is yours, you can take it away at any time as long as you want."

The eldest princess turned her face away: "Suxian has been dead for 30 years, right?"

Speaking of his dead wife, Chuan Li showed some nostalgia: "She is a good girl."

In that year, Princess Huguo left Li Kingdom to build the Saintess Palace, willing to be a saint and never marry.In order to cut off his thoughts, Emperor Shenzong forced Suxian to marry him. After marriage, it was hard to say that they were in love with each other, but they lived a warm and peaceful life.

After Suxian died of illness, he never married a wife.In a blink of an eye, so many years have passed.

The Eldest Princess rarely felt melancholy: "Here we are, you can go down."

Chuan Li got out of the car tremblingly, turned around and asked her: "If I lose my reputation, will you look down on me?"

The eldest princess said very seriously: "If I lose my reputation, you will be the first one to come to me."

"I know!" Chuan Li laughed loudly, turned his head up and sang away, a man in his 80s actually showed some of the unique demeanor of a young man.
