The concubine entered the palace and the concubine was very attractive

A few days later, in the Yangxin Palace.

After experiencing many things, the palace became much quieter and there was silence in the hall.

After these days of adjustments, and with Nan Xiang feeding him from time to time, Gu Junshen finally calmed down a lot.

I was checking the cases of injustice that Li Huaisheng had sorted out these days.

There was a flash of disbelief in his eyes that there were so many cases of injustice.

General Huang was responsible for most of these cases.

He didn't know that there were people in the military who were so arrogant and domineering, and who totally disregarded the laws of the Northern Dynasty.

Although the General Huang here is a member of the Huang family, he is not from the lineage of General Huang, but his younger brother, Huang Yuansheng.

He is General Huang of the military, and possesses power equal to that of General Huang.

However, Gu Junshen had already taken control of the military power two years ago, and something happened that year that made him wary of General Huang.

On his way back from the military headquarters after taking back his military power, he was ambushed by more than 30 people.

Fortunately, the guards around him were all carefully selected talents. Although there were only twenty of them, they were highly skilled in martial arts. In addition, he was not a mediocre person. It was no exaggeration to say that he had received many years of training in the military before he ascended the throne.

Although he finally forced the assassin back, he also lost one third of his guards.

He also sent people to investigate the background of these people. They were highly skilled in martial arts, and were neither military personnel nor assassins from the enemy country.

It was hard for him to imagine that there was someone in the country he ruled who could threaten his regime.

It just so happened to be the day when he took back the military power.

From that day on, he began to investigate officials who were cultivating private soldiers.

Although he did not gain anything, he did become more alert to the issue of private soldiers.

Therefore, when Li Huaisheng reported that the Huang family secretly kept private soldiers, he immediately ordered the secret guards to investigate.

But he didn't know whether the Huang family had not had time to transfer their private soldiers, but the secret guards actually discovered a lot of private soldiers training in the backyard.

Among them are the eldest and third sons of the Huang family.

Looking at the case registration full of errors and omissions, as well as the people who were imprisoned, Gu Junshen's face became more and more solemn.

Many of them were talented people who had made great achievements in the military. They even participated in wars against enemy invasions and defended their country, but they were still unjustly imprisoned.

"This is absolutely ridiculous!"

A chill suddenly filled Gu Junshen's eyes, and he slammed the case file in his hand onto the table. The sound was like thunder, echoing in the quiet hall.

If Li Huaisheng had not spoken out for the Qin Chenyang case, the truth might have been buried forever, and those innocent and meritorious people who should have been shining on the battlefield would continue to suffer in the dark prison.

Thinking of this, Gu Junshen felt a surge of guilt and self-blame in his heart, as if a thousand-pound stone was pressing on his chest, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

As the king of a country, he had been on the throne for a short time, and so many injustices happened quietly under his nose without him realizing it.

However, Gu Junshen cannot be blamed for this.

The cases of Qin Chenyang and others were old cases. At that time, Gu Junshen was still the crown prince and had not yet ascended the throne.

"This Qin Chenyang you are talking about is a talented person! He is not afraid of power and would rather die than surrender."

Gu Junshen recalled what Li Huaisheng had just mentioned about Qin Chenyang, and couldn't help but sigh.

"I wonder how the emperor will judge these unjust cases? General Qin, who has made glorious military achievements, was slandered by General Huang for no reason.

How can such a loyal and good man allow the injustice to be buried and end hastily! "

Li Huaisheng frowned, the corners of his mouth trembled slightly, and he spoke in a loud voice, every word filled with indignation against injustice.

Six years ago, the memory of being unable to seek justice due to power oppression was like a sharp blade, repeatedly cutting through Li Huaisheng's heart.

At this moment, the frustration and unwillingness could no longer be suppressed and turned into a complex expression on his face.

“Once the investigation was complete, these people were released without charge and reinstated.

Ask them what they want. If it's not too much, I'll grant it. It's my compensation to them."

Gu Jun thought deeply for a moment, then sighed softly.

I don’t know how to compensate them. After all, I have been in jail for six or seven years without any reason. How depressing must that feel?

"In addition, I also want to promote them. But this is also based on military merit."

"Your Majesty is wise! I obey your orders!"

After hearing this, Li Huaisheng bowed in a deep voice, unable to conceal the joy in his eyes.

He finally lived up to Nan Xiang's trust and overturned Qin Chenyang's case.

……

The Northern Dynasty dungeon was engulfed by endless darkness.

In the corner of a dungeon, Qin Chenyang curled up on a straw mat covered with weeds. The mat had long lost its original color and blended with the surrounding mud, appearing dark and dirty.

His clothes had not been changed since he was imprisoned on this day six years ago, and they were already soaked with mud and dirt. He had never taken a bath, and his body exuded a stench that was unbearable for ordinary people.

Six years was just a blink of an eye to the outside world, but to Qin Chenyang, it was endless suffering and torture.

His body became increasingly thin due to long-term malnutrition, his cheeks were sunken and his cheekbones were high, making him look particularly prominent.

Those eyes that were once as sharp as an eagle are now empty and lifeless.

Suddenly, he was hit by a wave of thirst, burning his throat like a raging fire. The last time he drank water was half a month ago.

He struggled to stand up. His limbs were stiff and weak from being restrained by heavy iron shackles for so long. He could only crawl towards the iron bars step by step.

"Drink water...I want to drink water..."

His voice was weak and hoarse, with a barely perceptible tremor, and it echoed in the empty dungeon, but it seemed to be swallowed up by the darkness, and there was no response at all.

Just then, the door of the dungeon was opened, and Li Huaisheng walked in with several guards.

A long-lost ray of sunlight also passed through the dungeon door, bringing some light into the dungeon.

"The Emperor has ordered General Qin to be released and reinstated. Why don't you hurry up and bring General Qin out?"

Li Huaisheng spoke in a dignified tone, his brows revealing dissatisfaction and anxiety. He was obviously dissatisfied with the slowness of the jailers.

When the jailer heard this, an expression of disbelief instantly appeared on his face.

He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly came to his senses and ran towards Qin Chenyang's cell in two steps, with the key in his hand trembling slightly with excitement.

"Yes...Yes! As you command!"

There was a hint of excitement and panic in the jailer's voice, and he hurriedly inserted the key into the keyhole.

Li Huaisheng also walked quickly to the front of the cell, his eyes full of concern and expectation.

He listened attentively and clearly caught Qin Chenyang's faint and repeated call: "Water... Water..."

As the chains rattled, the cell door slowly opened, revealing Qin Chenyang naked in front of the men.

He couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness in his heart. The once heroic general had become a prisoner in this dungeon and was treated like this.

"Did you hear General Qin wanted to drink some water? What are you standing there for?"

Li Huaisheng yelled at the other jailer who was standing still.

The jailer hurriedly picked up the kettle on the table and carefully poured it into Qin Chenyang's mouth.

"General Qin, you are free!"
