The reborn businesswoman is the queen

Chapter 258 Entering the palace, complaining frustrated

King Jin dared to enter the palace at this time, which was beyond Zhang Zeyuan's expectation.

From Zhang Zeyuan's point of view, King Jin sent someone to intercept him on the road because he had a guilty conscience.Since I have reported it to the imperial court, even if this case has reached the heavens, King Jin must have received the news, and it is impossible not to make preparations.When King Jin came here, there were only two possibilities. First, he was confident; second, he was quite confident in the people he sent, and believed that it was absolutely impossible for Zhang Zeyuan to survive under the knife.

King Jin followed Qi Chun into the palace with a bit of uneasiness on his face, but he always had a gloomy face and no big expressions, so this uneasiness was not obvious.

Zhang Zeyuan had been tortured and interrogated all the year round, and even the slightest change on the prisoner's face could not escape his eyes, so he could naturally sense King Jin's uneasiness.

But Emperor Wu was different. In Emperor Wu's eyes, the son who came in today was no different from usual, and he didn't seem to panic at all.

Emperor Wu narrowed his eyes, King Jin was either innocent, or he was absolutely sure that nothing would happen!

Seeing King Jin's face so similar to his own when he was young, and thinking of Concubine Xiao in the harem, the anger in Emperor Wu's heart subsided a little.

He doesn't really trust King Jin, but he trusts Concubine Xiao.Concubine Xiao Gui has been with the monarch for many years, knows etiquette, has read poetry and books, and understands the principles of life, loyalty and patriotism.The son she taught would not be able to do such a thing against the king and the country!

Thinking of this, Emperor Wu's voice softened a bit: "Prince Jin, what have you been up to lately? Why don't you come into the palace to see your concubine mother?"

"Father, the younger brothers have been choosing concubines recently. The empress and mother are busy choosing candidates for the younger brothers. It is very tiring. Every time I enter the palace, the mother and concubine have to take care of this Luo Na. I didn't want to make my mother and concubine too tired, so I didn't come here so late, and I hope my father will forgive me!" King Jin knelt and kowtowed, and replied very respectfully.

This answer made Emperor Wu's brows loosen a bit, and Emperor Wu nodded: "You are a good boy."

"Thank you, father, for your compliment." Prince Jin's gloomy face showed a faint smile.

Zhang Zeyuan, who was standing by the side, saw this, and his heart sank immediately.Judging from what Emperor Wu meant, it was clear that he wanted to favor King Jin, but those who died because of this, would they die in vain?Those who are still suffering in the world today, and those who bear the infamy that should not be carried by her, will they continue to suffer humiliation?What's more, that person is still a pillar of the country, a female general of the court, and a princess personally appointed by Emperor Wu!

Where is the law of heaven, where is the justice? !

Thinking of this, Zhang Zeyuan took a step forward, and reminded Emperor Wu of his purpose today: "Your Majesty, please think twice about the case you have heard from your minister!"

"Oh, oh..." When Emperor Wu saw King Jin, most of his anger had dissipated at this time, and he no longer had the anger he had when he first met him. His anger towards his son had dissipated. Thinking about it, he said: "Since it was Jiang Mao who did it, then this Jiang Mao should be punished according to the law, and the princess should be innocent."

"Your Majesty!" Zhang Zeyuan's body trembled and he couldn't believe it. He suddenly raised his head and stared at Emperor Wu, and his tone was even more sonorous: "The real culprit is not Jiang Mao. Executing Jiang Mao will not let those souls who died in peace rest in peace!"

"Zhang Qing, there is no need to discuss this matter again." Emperor Wu waved his hand, turned his head to Qi Chun and said, "You can send Master Zhang out."

Zhang Zeyuan opened his mouth and wanted to say more, but Emperor Wu had already waved to King Jin with a smile. King Jin leaned over, and Emperor Wu pulled him and said, "Your mother and concubine are helping the queen to choose someone, and you and my father and son have a long time We didn't play chess and chat together anymore. Let's go, let's go to Evergreen Palace."

Zhang Zeyuan had no choice but to follow Qi Chun out of the palace.

Standing at the gate of the palace wall, Zhang Zeyuan himself was a little confused.At the risk of being assassinated, he rushed to the palace to meet his driver and reported the case, but he got a hasty answer and the matter was over.Even without a confrontation, King Jin was so easily exonerated!

He looked back at the imperial city, the autumn was high and the air was clear, the sky was full of clouds, and the majestic momentum was indeed a majesty that ordinary people could not approach.Zhang Zeyuan shook his head, tightly gripping the two confessions in his hands, his knuckles turned white with such strength, his cheeks ached from biting his teeth, he could only let out a long sigh, and walked away slowly.

"Master Zhang, is this enough?" As soon as he stepped into his carriage, a soft voice came from behind his eardrums.

Zhang Zeyuan turned around, only to see a girl in purple standing behind him at some point.The girl was tall and tall, half of the veil covered the part below the eyes, so she couldn't see her face clearly, but she could clearly feel the frost in those eyes.

Zhang Zeyuan carefully recalled the people he knew, and found that there was no one who could correspond to him, so he frowned subconsciously: "What do you mean by this girl?"

"Master Zhang, do you want to talk here?" Those eyes were raised slightly, as if smiling, but there was still no smile in them.

Zhang Zeyuan suddenly realized, but this is a girl, he can't invite the same car, so he looked at her with some embarrassment.The girl went straight forward, raised the curtain of the car, and walked briskly into the carriage, and said lightly in the carriage: "Master Zhang is a dignified person. The little girl can trust both adults and Mr. Xiao."

Xiao Yuandao's student is not a bad person in his mind, just because he dared to take the risk to enter the palace to clear up his wrongdoing, he would not be a frivolous person.

Zhang Zeyuan was solemn and solemn, bowed to the end: "It's Zhang who is worrying too much!" He also followed into the carriage.

As soon as Zhang Zeyuan sat down, he asked, "What did the girl mean just now? Can you tell Zhang in detail?"

"Master Zhang, you don't need to test me." The woman in front of her was talking, and slowly took off her veil.

That face was somewhat familiar, and he couldn't help being a little surprised, as if he didn't expect it to be her at all.Hearing her words, I felt even more startled, and my eyes widened.

Mu Yunge smiled lightly: "The reason why I know is because an important witness was hunted down earlier, and the princess happened to be rescued. I have a good relationship with the princess, so I know better. I came to you, except The reason for the princess is also because we have some other connection. Mr. Xiao Yuandao is my grandfather."

Zhang Zeyuan was truly astonished to the extreme this time. He stood up suddenly, completely forgetting that he was in the carriage, and his head hit the roof of the car with such force that the body shook a bit.

He kept a half-bent posture, covered the top of his head, and said a little excitedly: "You... tell me again, who are you?"

"My mother's surname is Xiao. My mother said that when she married and went to Jinling, Lord Zhang also visited Xiao's family." Mu Yunge said softly, showing a trace of remembrance and regret: "It's a pity that Yun Ge grew up in other places when she was young. I have never met my grandfather in person, but I only heard from my mother that when my grandfather was still alive, he was very honest and kind. But... my grandfather was full of resentment when he passed away. .”

As she said that, she looked at Zhang Zeyuan again, with warm eyes in her eyes: "I heard that Master Zhang was the only one who was not afraid of power and insisted on coming to Xiao's house in hemp and filial piety when he helped the grandfather's spirit. Now Your Majesty The refusal to let Mr. Zhang return to his position is probably due to anger at the past."

When Zhang Zeyuan saw that she knew so clearly, his doubts disappeared, he was both excited and sad: "My teacher was also innocent and suffered. I have been taught by Mr. for many years, and I have always regarded my teacher as my father. How could I have thought... how could I have thought of it." ...Forget it, let’s not mention the past! Is your mother okay now? I only met her once when she was married, and I couldn’t see her clearly through the red hijab. Your mother would blame me for my lack of manners ? The Mu family has been in the capital for many days, and I have never visited the house once."

"Mother is very good." Mu Yunge smiled: "Mother also knows the hard work and busyness of the adults these years, how can I blame you? Besides, the adults were also implicated in the old things back then. It is said that the Xiao family owed the adults. Mother said, if I If you have the opportunity to meet your lord, you must kowtow to him, and thank you for your kindness in helping the spirit."

When Xiao Yuandao passed away, Xiao's body was so weak that he was pregnant, so he couldn't come to the capital to see his father off.All the funerals were arranged by Mu Zhizhao, and it was time that Mu Zhizhao told her about these things.

Xiao's filial piety, unable to send his father off in person, has been regretting it for so many years, and he is naturally grateful to the people who helped the spirit back then.

As Mu Yunge said, he got up seriously, knelt down in the carriage, and kowtowed respectfully.

"Impossible." Zhang Zeyuan quickly helped her up, seeing that her temperament had followed his mother's, and he could vaguely see the demeanor of his former teacher, he was very relieved, and couldn't help nodding his head.

Knowing that Mu Zhizhao, the new minister of the court, is the son-in-law of his mentor, Zhang Zeyuan was relieved, but also worried: "Does Your Majesty know your mother?"

"I should know." Mu Yunge pursed his lips and smiled: "Your Majesty is suspicious. If you don't know, how dare you use my father? Although my grandfather was not an official in the court back then, after all, he was once His Majesty's Taifu. Still believable."

Zhang Zeyuan breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. I'm afraid that His Majesty will not know, and the Mu family will be in danger in the future."

"My lord, do you still have time to worry about the Mu family?" Mu Yunge's smile faded, and his expression became serious: "Your lord's death is in sight, why don't you plan for yourself? If you can't save it, then Nangong Jin's grievances will be counted on." Who is going to Zhaoxue?"

"What's the matter? Could it be King Jin..." Zhang Zeyuan's thoughts suddenly changed, and he immediately understood the meaning of her words, and hurriedly stopped.

That's right, Jin Wang is the county king proclaimed by the emperor, and he is backed by Concubine Xiao Gui and the Xiao family, how can he move?Calm down and think about it, Emperor Wu's attitude today is justifiable.The reason why Emperor Wu didn't want him to continue to study it was probably the result of thinking about it.The Xiao family can't move, if something happens to King Jin, they will force the soldiers of the Xiao family to make dangerous moves, not to mention disrupting the court situation, but also giving the neighboring countries an opportunity to take advantage of it.What's more, the matter of the Nangong family has been in the past for many years, and people have accepted the reasons of Nangong Jin Kexing. At this time, the old story is suddenly brought up, and the finger is directed at King Jin. It is inevitable that some people will suspect that this is the result of the battle for the succession. His motives were wiped out.

The most important thing is that Emperor Wu was suspicious. Didn't he doubt the old things back then?not necessarily!But why did he condone this result, stepping back ten thousand steps and saying that he acquiesced in the situation to this point, but he was borrowing the hand of King Jin to get rid of Jing Guogong, a man of great merit!
Thinking of this, Zhang Zeyuan broke out in cold sweat, and the anger in his heart made him punch the cushion: "Human lives are ignored, this is clearly human lives! Could it be that the blood of so many people will be shed in vain?"
