Rebirth: Remarrying the Emperor's Uncle

Zhen Guogong's mansion was besieged by the Imperial Forest Army on that day, and people in the mansion were panicked.

Wang Caidan was shocked when he heard the news, and rushed to the outer courtyard in a hurry.

There were indeed soldiers standing outside the gate of the mansion. Seeing the gate of the mansion opened, they raised their swords in unison and faced the gate with a murderous look.

Wang Caidan went to Wang Mao's study and asked anxiously, "Brother, what happened?"

Wang Mao's face was gloomy, "Father was imprisoned for treason, but Prince Jin's Mansion and Duke Dingguo's Mansion are safe and sound. What do you think happened?"

Wang Caidan was taken aback, and there was a flash of joy in his eyes, "Uncle Seventh Emperor is all right?"

Wang Mao sneered, "As you wish."

Wang Caidan quickly realized, "You mean, Uncle Seven Emperor's tricks harmed father?"

Wang Mao said coldly, "He not only wanted to kill his father, but also wanted us to be buried with the whole family."

Wang Caidan shook his head in disbelief, and seemed to be comforting himself, "No, Uncle Seventh Emperor would not do this. Father must have done something in secret and was discovered by the emperor."

Wang Mao looked at her coldly, "Let's go."
-
The Queen Mother arrived at the Qianqing Palace.

"No one testifies, no evidence, no evidence, does the emperor want to convict the Wang family just based on guesswork?"

Emperor Qingming said in a low voice, "Duke Zhen Guo was playing the game before and after the incident. Could it be that Empress Mother still can't understand?"

The Queen Mother said angrily, "Pearl's blood certificate is clearly caused by Princess Jin's Yuxiang Pills. It is also Ai's idea to punish King Jin and Princess Jin. What does it have to do with Duke Zhen?"

"No relationship?" Emperor Qingming's eyes were cold. "The queen mother can go to the Imperial Prison and ask the Duke of Zhenguo in private if he has anything to do with the blood certificate in Nanzhang. King Jin and the others don't know the inside story, but it doesn't mean I don't know."

The Queen Mother shook her head slowly, with a sad face, "You can put him to death, you can say whatever you want. What's the benefit to them of killing Zhu'er, and what's the benefit of plotting against them at this time?"

Emperor Qingming flipped through the memorial and said casually, "According to my mother's love for Nanzhang, it is impossible to make her a crown princess. Duke Zhen wants to be thorough and safe, and he wants to plan ahead."

The Queen Mother looked at her son in front of her.

She knew that he was dissatisfied with the Wang family's control of the government, but she didn't expect him to be so afraid of the Wang family.

She put a box on the dragon case, "This is a thousand-year-old snow lotus, you can use it for whatever you want. Whether the Wang family really rebelled, the emperor still needs to ask his own heart."

Emperor Qingming opened the box, and the snow lotus inside bloomed holyly, exuding a quiet fragrance.

His eyes were heavy, if the empress used it, she would definitely suffer less suffering.

The Queen Mother took another box from the maid and put it in Emperor Qingming's hand, "This is the gold medal you gave to Duke Laozhen to avoid death. Back then, the royal family had meritorious deeds from the dragon. Even if the emperor doesn't care about family affection, he should always remember it." It’s a bit of an old relationship between the monarch and his ministers.”

Emperor Qingming knew that before the Empress Dowager came here, she sent someone to the Zhen Guogong Mansion.It turned out that he was holding the gold medal for avoiding death.

He stroked the death-preventing gold medal, and said, "Duke Zhen is so reckless, relying on the protection of the queen mother, and the protection of the meritorious service of the dragon."

The Queen Mother said, "Think about it, Your Majesty, if you dispose of the Duke of Zhenguo at this time, whose wish will you get? The Duke of Zhenguo is the mother's family of the Ai family after all, and they always want to treat the Ai family, the emperor, and you." Yes. If you let someone else take the chief assistant position, would it be better than it is now?"

Emperor Qingming said in a low voice, "Duke Zhen Guo's son and godmother said so, right?"

The Queen Mother was noncommittal, "The emperor just said, whether it makes sense or not."

Morning the next day.

It was already the time of the morning court, but Emperor Qingming did not show up for a long time, and the door of the main hall was closed tightly.

The courtiers waited outside the main hall for a long time, and they began to whisper, inquiring about each other's news in low voices, wondering how the emperor would deal with the Zhen Guo Gongfu in the end.

Yesterday, the Duke of Zhen was detained, the mansion of the Duke of Zhen was besieged, the Imperial Forest Army outside the Prince Jin's mansion withdrew, and the soldiers who rushed to the capital with great fanfare stopped.

Someone approached Luo Shangshu, smiled and congratulated, "Lord Luo is now back to his original post, and he has the title of second assistant to the cabinet. Without Duke Zhen, you will be No. 1 in the court."

"Lord Luo, what happened to those fifty thousand soldiers? Where did Duke Ding go?"

"Lord Luo, why did the emperor imprison Lord Zhen Guo?"

Luo Shangshu folded his sleeves, not answering anyone's words.

Many people speculated that this was a bureau set up by Zhen Guogong, but now it has failed, and even he himself has doubts about it.In fact, it is obvious that Lord Zhen Guo has been promoting this bureau, and King Jin has always stayed out of it, so how could he participate in it?

But if it wasn't for King Jin's promotion, how could Duke Zhen be sent to prison so easily because his tree has deep roots.At the same time, Jin Wang and Ding Guogong were all picked.

Everyone saw that Luo Shangshu was like a gourd with a saw-mouthed gourd and couldn't ask anything, so they started whispering again.

"It must be Duke Zhen who rebelled, and Duke Ding was used by him. Otherwise, why did the Imperial Forest Army outside Duke Ding's mansion withdraw?"

"Exactly."

"It's hard to say. If Zhen Guogong rebelled against the prince, the prince is already the crown prince... Isn't this superfluous."

"I heard that the crown prince has not returned for a long time. He is not dealing with military affairs in the northwest, but has gone to Xiliang. His life and death are uncertain..."

Everyone's expressions changed, and they thought of another possibility...

Royal study.

Emperor Qingming asked quietly, "What did Luo Shangshu say?"

A young eunuch said, "Back to the emperor, Mr. Luo didn't say anything. No matter how the courtiers asked or guessed, he never said a word."

Emperor Qingming nodded.

If Luo Shangshu said something that made things worse, he should have suspected that Luo Shangshu had colluded with someone to deal with Duke Zhen.

"What did the courtier say?"

The little eunuchs learned the words of the courtiers word by word.

Emperor Qingming's expression darkened.

He hadn't thought of this layer yet——

The life and death of the crown prince is unpredictable, so if Wang Can raises his troops and captures the imperial city, who will be the emperor?
All the soldiers and horses are in his hands, and he is in control of the state affairs, and he has the final say on who will be the emperor!

Letting a son be the emperor is more honorable than letting a nephew be the emperor.

He said, "Wu Jian, pass it on as the king of the county to come in."

Wu Jian said, "Go back to the emperor, the king of Chengjun is guarding the gate of Zhen Guogong's mansion."

Emperor Qingming said, "Then go to Zhen Guogong's mansion to pass it on."

Wu Jian agreed and left the hall.

Half an hour later, King Cheng arrived.

Emperor Qingming asked, "What is the son of Duke Zhenguo doing?"

King Chengjun replied, "Going back to the emperor, the minister entered the mansion twice, and the prince of Zhen Guogong has been in the study outside, and he didn't seem to be flustered."

Emperor Qingming lowered his eyes, "He is quite calm. I asked you to check his recent whereabouts, but what did you find?"

Cheng Junwang's face was a little unhappy, and he hesitated for a moment.

Emperor Qingming raised his eyes, "Is there anything you can't say?"
