That morning, Long Hao called Lu Bei, the Minister of Justice. This man was over 60 years old and a white-bearded man. He was in charge of the Ministry of Justice for more than 30 years. He was selfless and called Lu Qingtian. Since Long Hao ascended the throne, he rarely inquire about the Ministry of Justice. He was fully supervised by Prime Minister Dou Qian. Today, the emperor actually summoned him to the scene. Lu Bei was surprised. On the surface, he was respectful and performed the tribute from the monarch and ministers. When Long Hao saw that the old man was not young, he hurried to show him the seat.
Lu Aiqing, I have something to ask you.Long Hao was straight to the point.
Lu Bei stood up and bowed: Please speak frankly by your Majesty.
Long Hao's eyes flashed with a sharp cold light. He stared at Lu Bei, the Minister of Justice, and asked seriously: I ask you, what happened to the Su Jingzhai case back then?
Lu Bei was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect the emperor to ask about an old case more than 30 years ago. He was puzzled, but he still replied respectfully: Go back to Your Majesty, that was a case thirty years ago. Su Jingzhai, a Grand Secretary of Jiangnan, wrote a rebellion at home and was reported. When the house was raided, he found a secret letter of affair with Tianyue Kingdom. After learning about it, the late emperor was furious and executed the entire Su family. This was the sensational Su Jingzhai case, which was already an iron case.
Iron case?Have all the people from the Su family been killed?You have to answer truthfully!Long Hao asked sternly.
Lu Bei had never seen the emperor so harshly, sweating all over his head, and replied in a trembling voice: No, it is said that only Su Jingzhai's youngest son Su Kun ran away, and he has escaped again...
Long Hao's heart trembled when he heard this. Isn't Su Kun the leader of the Red Lotus Sect?
He was the youngest son back then, but now he is a middle-aged man. It seems that the rebellion of the Red Lotus Sect is indeed related to the Su Jingzhai case?
Is it really an unjust case?
Otherwise, why did the descendants of the Su family rebel?
His eyes flashed with lightning, he stared at Lu Bei tightly and said seriously: Do you think it is a bad case?Then why do people in the Su family complain that they are wronged and even rebellious?
Going back to Your Majesty, it’s an ironclad case!
A hint of panic that was not easy to be noticed flashed through Lu Bei's eyes, but Long Hao, who was as sharp as golden eyes, looked at him.
OK, you can take the case file to me!Long Hao said in a deep voice.
This... Your Majesty, the case file has been deposited into the imperial case building in the palace, and the Ministry of Justice has not registered it.Lu Bei replied respectfully.
What?Why didn't I find it?Long Hao said in confusion.
Then... the old minister doesn't know.Lu Bei replied with his head down.
Long Hao's eyes rolled and he smiled and said: I just ask, it doesn't matter. Since it is an iron case, I won't investigate it. You go back!
yes!Your Majesty is in peace!
Lu Bei got up and left the palace. When he arrived outside the palace gate, he found that his body had been soaked in sweat.
Long Hao was sitting in the room and his brain was spinning rapidly. Now the Su Jingzhai case is complicated and it is indeed difficult to get the truth out of it, especially why did the case files in the palace disappear?
This is another mystery.
Long Hao immediately called Zhang Xiong, the governor of Long Factory, to give him a secret mission, asking him to collect details about the Su Jingzhai case and relevant information about Su Jingzhai himself.
Zhang Xiong didn't know why the emperor dug out the iron case more than 30 years ago, but he didn't dare to resist the order and immediately sent someone to do it.
The next morning court, Long Hao was promoted to the Golden Palace. The assassination of the imperial palace that day caused a lot of controversy in the capital. Now the two first offenders are in prison, and he rewards the meritorious persons.
If a person is lucky, the city wall cannot stop him. Zhu Ning shot the assassin twice and made the most contribution. Long Hao unpunished her as Duke of Anguo. Zhu Ning was only nineteen years old and was a duke less than twenty years old. This is also very rare. Since the year she followed Long Hao, her position has been continuously improved, as if she was riding a helicopter.
Although the company was largely responsible for this, Zhu Ning also worked hard, and with his super good luck, he made great contributions in succession.
As the saying goes, good things come together. That afternoon, Empress Dowager Shude summoned Zhu Ning to thank her for saving her life. Of course, Long Hao was also present.
When the Empress Dowager saw that Zhu Ning was born like a silver doll, very likable. She was so rewarded at such an age. She immediately recognized her as her godson, also called His Highness Yu'er, and immediately came to prominence again.
Long Hao, who was standing beside him, smiled in his heart: The mother is not taking over a godson, but a goddaughter!
Suddenly I remembered something, why not strike while the iron is hot, so I said from the side: Mother, the emperor has an idea of having the best of all.
Say it!The emperor means...
Long Hao smiled and said: Princess Biyao has regretted her engagement with Tianyue Kingdom, and she is still a big boss this year. Why not betroth her to my brother-in-law as his wife and recruit her as her husband? Wouldn’t it be a good idea?
Empress Dowager Shude was overjoyed and immediately agreed to the marriage. Zhu Ning had been instructed by Long Hao to be a female princess consort, so she immediately knelt down and thanked her.
Long Hao laughed and ordered people to divide the original King of Jin's Mansion into two, half of which was used as Duke An's Mansion, and the other half for other use. Everyone was very happy.
A month later, spring is warm and flowers are blooming, and all things are reviving, and the Anguo Duke Mansion is officially listed.
During this period, the second batch of arms of the Red and Yi Kingdom had been delivered to the capital, with a total of 4,000 guns. Kebner personally brought people to deliver the goods. After Wei Dian of the Ministry of Rites inspected the goods, he paid all the remaining money in full.
Now, Long Hao's dream of musket regiment has been fully equipped with weapons. Four thousand people were drawn from the Imperial Guard and the City Marshal, and merged with the 1,000 people who had received training earlier to form a large group.
Zhu Ning was the commander of the Musket Regiment. General Xu Chong was transferred from the Imperial Guardian as the deputy commander and Margaret was the chief instructor. Xu Chong was the younger brother of Xu Gan, the governor of Youzhou, and a powerful general in the Imperial Guardian. He was the deputy commander, which could make up for Zhu Ning's lack of experience.
Under the guidance of Chief Instructor Margaret, the newly established musket regiment continued to step up training. Long Hao was a little too late now, and the strict orders required that he could go on the battlefield and kill the enemy within two months.
**********
That afternoon, Zhang Xiong came to see Long Hao hand in the task and handed over all the materials about the Su Jingzhai case.
Long Hao took these materials collected by the Dragon Factory agents in Jiangnan. After looking carefully, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
Zhang Xiong collected the case from the people, and it was all the opinions of the people, which was completely contrary to the official statement.
Su Jingzhai was a Grand Secretary of Jiangnan thirty years ago. Although he was not an official position, he was given to him by the emperor, this was also a supreme honor.
Su Jingzhai was not only knowledgeable, but also had his own ancestral business and wealthy family. He was the richest man in Jiangnan at that time. Moreover, Su Jingzhai was kind and generous. He was also a philanthropist, who had cotton in winter and orders in summer. He opened a porridge factory to help the poor for many years. He had a very good reputation in Jiangnan and praised the people.
But God was unfair. In the third year of Tianqing in Wuzong, the Su family suffered a catastrophe. The whole family was conspired to rebel and affair with the enemy country. The family was confiscated and the household was destroyed.
Folk legend says that Su Jingzhai was wronged, and the so-called anti-poem is purely framed. There are different opinions. Some people say that this matter is related to Yang Zaide, the current richest man in Jiangnan, but it is all investigated without evidence, but it is just speculated out of thin air.
Although Yang Zaide had never seen him, his eldest son Yang Junyan had dealt with Long Hao. This person is a hypocrite who is completely defeated.
Long Hao looked through these materials and found that once the case was involved, all the rumors about the Su family's injustice were investigated without evidence. Once Su Jingzhai was really injustice for all ages, then these evidences were obviously destroyed artificially.
The Jiangnan area has been in peace for nearly 30 years. Su Kun, the youngest son of the Su family, grew up and determined to avenge the revenge and establish the Red Lotus Sect to fight against the court. At the same time, the bandits in Jiangnan were also rampant, and some people even spread rumors and cause trouble. What do you say that these days, it is better to be a robber than a good person. Su Jingzhai, a great charity, died unjustly. Where is the law of nature?
The more Long Hao looked at it, the more he felt that this matter was strange, but he had no energy to investigate this old case at present, but he had already made plans in his mind. After the enemy of Tianyue Kingdom was suppressed, he decided to go to Jiangnan to investigate the case secretly...
**********
A few days later, it was the day when Zhu Ning and Princess Biyao's wedding. The entire capital was decorated with lights and joyful. One was the emperor's brother, Duke Anguo, and the other was the princess with golden branches and jade leaves. This was the first joyful event second only to the emperor's wedding. How could it not be celebrated?
In the morning, the Duke of Anguo's mansion was a banquet to entertain the ministers in the court. At noon, Emperor Long Hao also came. He came with the Empress Dowager and gave the newlyweds countless gold, silver, jade, silk and treasures. When the princess got married, the dowry was simply priceless.
Then the wedding officially began. Princess Biyao wore a red veil, a phoenix crown and a red robe. Zhu Ning was wearing a red robe, handsome and elegant. The two were like golden boys and jade girls. Only Long Hao knew in his heart that they were actually a pair of jade girls...
As the emperor, the emperor is the symbol of a country. Attending such a wedding is already a blessing. You can't stay for too long. After a while, after the newlyweds' toast, Long Hao and his mother left the Duke's Mansion.
When he returned to the palace, Long Hao felt funny in his heart. A pair of jade girls entered the bridal chamber, which is really a strange story in the world. How can there be no real man in the bridal chamber?
Wedding night is not happy either!
Therefore, he decided to secretly go to Anle Gong Mansion to meet the bride and groom at night. If he wanted to secretly leave the palace, he had to leave the secret passage that went to the Wu Prince's Mansion. After the secret passage, he was Fangyazhai in the palace. This is a golden house, where three beautiful women live, including Jade's wife Wang Yuqin, Lan Fei's mother, and his life-savior. He used to call her Aunt Yu; and Qin Fang, the wife of the traitor Zhao Jiande, who had been subdued by him and the sister-in-law Chen Jinhuan, who had lost his status.
Long Hao remembered that he rarely went to meet those three girls recently, but today was a good opportunity. Anyway, the wedding banquet at Duke Anguo’s mansion had not ended yet, so he happened to go to Fangyazhai to have a look.
He sneaked in quietly, trying to see what the three women were doing now. As soon as he arrived at the door, he heard a burst of hissing laughter from the woman.
Lu Aiqing, I have something to ask you.Long Hao was straight to the point.
Lu Bei stood up and bowed: Please speak frankly by your Majesty.
Long Hao's eyes flashed with a sharp cold light. He stared at Lu Bei, the Minister of Justice, and asked seriously: I ask you, what happened to the Su Jingzhai case back then?
