But he shared the dream with Jun [Rebirth]

The only daughter Jiang Xing sent to the palace was Huimei.This time Chunshan was supposed to go to pray for blessings, but for some reason she became Concubine Qian.

"It's not my poor niece!" Hu Momo cried more and more, "My lord, don't believe what others say, what Huier did was forced and helpless! She just agreed to cooperate with pushing Concubine Qian Pray for blessings, who knows what will happen later? Even if she covets her successor, it won't be her turn..."

"With whom?"

"Of course it's the empress!"

Mother Hu said without hesitation, and then grabbed Pei Ziguang's hand: "She had a grudge with Concubine Qian, and she wanted to do it, but she was afraid of offending His Majesty, so she found Huier, and now they plan to put the blame on Huier body!"

Pei Ziguang felt a little dizzy for a moment, did Queen Lin really get involved?

"Do you have any evidence of the empress' relationship with Huimei?"

Pei Ziguang asked carefully.

Hu Nanny hesitated for a moment, and said: "They were very careful. After killing Hui'er, they dealt with everyone who knew the inside story. They didn't know that the old slave had already got the news from Yin Yin, so they only locked the old slave in Tingxi Dian, this old slave just got into the dog hole this morning and crawled out to find you..."

"So there's no physical evidence?"

Hu Nanny said anxiously: "All these things are known to Yun Luo, the servant girl next to the empress, and she will know at the first trial. My lord, if this old slave makes a false statement, it will be struck by lightning."

Pei Ziguang stood up and heaved a long sigh: "Why don't I trust you, Madam Hu? It's just that there is no physical evidence, so it's not easy to interrogate the queen's personal maid?"

Pei Ziguang also heard the news that Hui Mei committed suicide in Tingxi Palace, but he didn't expect it to be true.Ordinary people may think that this is suicide in fear of crime, but Huimei's status is low, and she has no enmity with Concubine Qian on weekdays. How can she have such great ability to use assassins and bribe the driver?In his heart, he still believed in Nanny Hu's words, but how could he act when the queen was involved?

Ten thousand steps back, even if it is really the empress who conspired, this is His Majesty's family business, who dares to come forward?It is difficult for an honest official to decide on family affairs, let alone the emperor's family affairs.

However, because of the intrigue among women, which affected the political affairs of the previous dynasty, both the emperor and the Dazai could hardly absolve themselves of the blame.

"My lord, please give Hui'er justice!"

Hu Momo knelt down for him, tears streaming down her face.

Pei Ziguang hurriedly helped her up, "If I can do it, I will help. Don't worry, Mammy, Ziguang has never forgotten the teacher's teachings."

"The old slave is waiting right here..." Mother Hu murmured, she dared not go back to Tingxi Hall, it was very difficult to escape this time.

Pei Ziguang called an attendant to come in, took Madam Hu down to find a room to rest, then put on his robe, sat down at the desk again, and revised the records in the dossier according to Madam Hu's words.

Now that this case has been taken over, it is natural to get to the bottom of it.

One night passed, when the attendants pushed the door and entered, the candles on the table were burned out, and Pei Ziguang was lying on the table to take a nap.

"grown ups."

Pei Ziguang opened his eyes suddenly, rubbed his head: "What time is it?"

"It's time for morning."

"Well, wait for me for a while."

After the entourage retreated, Pei Ziguang changed into the court clothes by himself, and wrote a memorial according to the current clues, which carefully and roughly mentioned Huimei's death and the people who had been with her during her lifetime.After he finished writing, he reviewed it and stuffed it into his sleeve with satisfaction. In order not to delay the morning, he didn't even tidy his hair or wash his face before stepping into the Xutai Hall.

The officials of the Xutai Palace gathered in two rows, holding their voices and holding their breath, in a solemn and solemn manner.The head of the civil servants was Dazai Lin Han, who was more than eight feet long, with a long beard reaching his chest, lean and strong, and he could not be seen as an old man over sixty years old.The monarch has grown up, but the ministers are not old. This is the source of the conflict between the two.Sometimes, growing old and strong is not a good thing.

Lin Han's expression was normal, and he didn't seem to be worried about his daughter's affairs.

Pei Ziguang sneaked into his colleagues and stayed until the court was about to leave before standing up to present his memorial.

"Zi Guangzhen is a detective."

Seeing him coming out, Gu Pingjin laughed.

He took the order on the first day, and the result came out the next day, either it was a detective, or he didn't bother to investigate at all.Obviously, His Majesty the Emperor was joking about the second type.

The morning time was almost over, Gu Quan stepped down from the stage, put the memorial in his pocket, and read it when Gu Pingjin was free today.

Although Lin Han is powerful and arrogant, he will not collude with foreign assassins. Moreover, even if Concubine Qian gives birth, she will not be able to shake her position. How could the other party take the risk of killing everyone?

Pei Ziguang always felt that this matter was not simple, so he ordered his followers to take him to the house of the dead coachman to have a look.

After staying for a long time, it became more and more certain that the so-called mysterious person came from Changsu.

When returning to the palace, the sunset was accompanied by him, but just as he was about to step into Xia Guangmen, a follower turned pale with shock, pointed to something and said: "My lord! It's not good, it's on fire!"

Pei Ziguang was so startled that his eyes were tearing apart.

The fire blazed into the sky, forming a line with the red sunset glow in the sky, and that direction was exactly where I temporarily stayed on the couch in the palace.

Dachen Palace, what an important place, caught fire?

Out of breath, Pei Ziguang fell off the horse and fell unconscious.

"grown ups!"

"grown ups!"

A group of people panicked and lifted him from the ground in a panic. The couch in the palace was almost burned, and it might be dangerous to stay any longer, so the entourage could only take Pei Ziguang and return to Pei's mansion first.

Three days passed.

In the evening, Pei Ziguang woke up from the nightmare and found that he had returned home, his wife Wen Yin was sitting beside the bed with a bowl of decoction to take care of him.

"Master!"

Wen Yin wept with joy, put down the medicine bowl, and hugged him tightly.

Pei Ziguang caressed his hair, and comforted him: "It's nothing." Because he was thinking about the case at hand, he asked, "What happened after I passed out?"

As soon as this was mentioned, Wen Yin's crying gradually became louder: "We can't do any more investigations. Before this is found out, someone dared to set fire. Mother Hu has already been burned to death. I'm afraid it will be the next one, just us... "

"What, Mother Hu was burned to death?"

Pei Ziguang turned pale with shock and was in a trance.

Wen Yin sobbed, and replied: "For some reason, Nanny Hu, and Ah Xi A Shuang, who you left behind to look after her, were all burned to death together, and even the body could not be found... The palace is strictly controlled. Such a big fire must have been set on purpose..."

Pei Ziguang's voice trembled, and he said, "The file, is it gone..."

"The whole yard is gone, and the files are naturally gone too..."

"What does Your Majesty say?"

Wen Yin wiped away her tears, and her voice was a bit cold: "How could Your Majesty come forward for such a matter? The Empress ordered an investigation, and a maid was dragged out and killed with a stick."

As for why she even knew about it, it turned out that it was not long after Pei Ziguang passed out that the news of Huimei's suicide in fear of crime spread.Both the Hu family and the Jiang family were implicated, and their officials were demoted to three levels, and the emperor announced the matter in the name of Pei Ziguang.Ling Jiang's envoys were not very satisfied with the result, and still asked to meet Chen Huang again.

After hearing this, Pei Ziguang couldn't help feeling disheartened.

It seems that he was a hated lamb in vain.But Your Majesty...

His memorial is still with His Majesty, I don't know if the other party will read it or not.He remembered Tan Ming's advice: the most difficult thing to investigate is always people's hearts.

Teacher, the students are not as good as you, not only can't restore the innocence of innocent people, but also caused the death of Nanny Hu.

Pei Ziguang stayed in bed for half a day, but he was finally unwilling to reconcile, got out of bed, and by memory, wrote a copy of the content in the dossier silently, together with the main points in the memorial, he planned to present it to His Majesty.

Time went back to the morning after that day.

At Dazai's Mansion, Lin Han read the memorial presented by Pei Ziguang that Gu Quan deliberately sent, and became suspicious, and called his wife to come. It was just a trick, and Lu Shi couldn't stop crying, admitting what he and his daughter had done.

It turned out that Empress Lin and Concubine Qian entered the palace at the same time, so there was an old grudge.Concubine Qian has the only heir in her womb, so she is naturally treated extraordinaryly, and she becomes more and more proud, which indirectly offends Queen Lin.The mother and daughter teamed up, first coercing Huimei to push Concubine Qian to Chunshan to pray for blessings with extra-court affairs, and then bribed a driver to threaten her with ghostly shadows on the mountain road in the middle of the night.

She never expected that another coachman would also do something to Concubine Qian.Two coachmen wrestled together, one stabbed and killed the other, pushed him down the hillside and fell to his death, the horses were frightened, and Concubine Qian gave birth.There was also a group of men in black fighting nearby. Everyone was terrified and wanted to leave the place as soon as possible.

Empress Lin's mother and son didn't expect Concubine Qian to have a miscarriage, so they hurriedly beat the accompanying maids and maids to make them speak in unison, so that there would be a part recorded in the case file.It's just that in the midst of busy schedules, it is inevitable that there will be some omissions.Nanny Hu is one of them.

Lin Han was furious and scolded Lu Shi severely.

Lu shi knelt down and cried: "I know I was wrong, but we are only one daughter, how can you bear to see her fall out of favor and be deposed?"

Lin Han walked back and forth in the room, cursing for a long time, finally family affection took over, ignored Lu Shi who was dying from crying, kicked open the door, and said to the door attendant: "Pang Qi, the left servant, Fang Chang of the Right Servant and Li Xianke of Zhongshu all called over, I have something important to discuss with them!"

"Yes."

The attendant glanced at his darkened face, and carefully straightened up.

Lin Han would not alarm all his subordinates about the harem.

He couldn't figure out what Gu Pingjin meant, there was no news from the palace yet, the other party had such a big deal in his hand, why didn't he make trouble?

Before that, he used Wang Shuo heavily, suppressed the Tan family, and supported his own family's small national teachers to the top, and he did not do little in his daily behavior of knocking mountains and shaking tigers.This time, could it be that he wanted to accumulate criminal evidence and strive for a one-shot death?

Lin Han became more and more uneasy, his daughter had to be scruples, the matter of Huimei had to be dealt with, and someone from the royal family had to take it down.

He discussed with his subordinates for a whole half a day, and agreed on the action of tomorrow morning, and was about to send everyone back to the house, when the servant at home rushed to report:

"There is water in the palace."

This piece of news really disrupted the plan they had just arranged.

"What's going on?" Fang Chang, the servant of the right, immediately got up and asked.The big house is strict and orderly, which is really unreasonable.

The young man described the current situation in the palace in detail, and specifically mentioned that the place where the water was drained was mainly the place where Pei Ziguang's couch was under surveillance, and all people and belongings had been burnt down.Now the empress came forward to preside over the overall situation, but His Majesty did not show up to express his opinion.

Lin Han sensed something was wrong, and if he contacted his wife Lu Shi, Lu Shi begged him to help his daughter, he would not lie, that was the matter of Concubine Qian's miscarriage, there was something else hidden, at least not only his wife and daughter were involved.Lin Han naturally knew what his daughter was like in the palace. She didn't have the guts to set fire to it. Only the current emperor could do all this.

With this fire, all clues were reduced to ashes, which was an unseemly but acceptable ending.Gu Pingjin didn't take advantage of this incident and chose to suppress it, which doesn't mean the Lin family is safe.

Lin Han's face, which had been majestic for decades, finally showed a trace of fatigue.Having been in a high position for many years, it's not that he didn't think about returning to the fields and forests to be at ease, but the whole family is there, and his daughter is trapped in the deep palace. How can this be achieved?Sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat. If you are timid, if you make a wrong step, you will be in the abyss.

"Clean up and go to Jing'an Palace."

Lin Han ordered his subordinates to put aside their plans for the morning court for the time being, and waited for a few people to leave, to tidy up their appearance, carry their passports with them, and walked into Jing'an Palace with the entourage one after the other.

Jing'an Palace is Gu Pingjin's sleeping palace in the harem, and Lin Han has not set foot here for three years since there was a estrangement between the Dazai and the king.

In the past, he was also a frequent visitor here, when he was still the grand teacher in charge of teaching the young crown prince Gu Pingjin.

Right now, the youngest son has grown into a decisive emperor, but he is gradually getting old.Maybe I should step back slowly...

"The old minister pays his respects to His Majesty."

Lin Han bowed his knees and bowed respectfully.In the past, such a great gift was often exempted. He is not too young, and his body is not strong enough to make big moves.

Gu Pingjin seemed to have understood his reason for coming, so he didn't give him a seat directly, and said with a smile: "Teacher."

After a ten-year absence, hearing this sentence from the teacher again, things are different from people, Lin Han was very embarrassed, and refused: "What can I do, what can I do again..."

Gu Pingjin laughed loudly and helped him up with his own hands.

The two took their seats.

Lin Han took out the seal, placed it in front of him, and began to state the argument he had just thought up at home: he resigned from the position of Dazai Zhongcheng on the grounds of old age and declining energy.

The official system of the Dachen court is basically one magistrate, three magistrates and one order, the magistrate, the Taiwen division, the Taigong Ministry, the Taibingchang, and the Taichaling.Among them, Dazai generally also serves as Dazai Zhongcheng, that is, the official deputy prime minister.Unless the emperor is extremely dissatisfied with the Dazai, he will set up a Dazai Zhongcheng to divide his powers.

Gu Pingjin's eyes fell on Xiangyin, and his smile faded.

"The teacher is really smart."

"Your Majesty's lesson."

Lin Han nodded, slumped on the chair, and did not take back the seal.The few strands of white hair on the top of the head are particularly obvious under the glazed lights in the palace, and the whole person is full of vigor, and looks like ten years old.

Because I still have old feelings, I accepted this surrender.

Both of them are very clear about this.

"I don't know if Huai'er is born, if his uncle can come to the Chaoyun Palace where I and the empress come to have a full moon wine."

Gu Pingjin picked up a cup of tea with a relaxed tone, but what he said made Lin Han almost fall off his seat.

"Your Majesty, you mean..."

"The empress is three months pregnant. After thinking for a long time, I decided on the name Gu Huai."

"Why do you..."

Gu Pingjin looked at him with a smile, but the latter blushed immediately and stopped talking.

What did my mother-in-law and daughter do, Concubine Qian had a miscarriage, shouldn't those born now be sent to Lingjiang as protons?Has anyone dug a hole for themselves?However, the emperor actually concealed this matter, even the empress did not tell... He must have told the imperial physician and the old lady who knew about it.

"Teacher, don't worry, I have another idea about the agreement between this dynasty and the King of Xinjiang."

The implication is, don't worry about your grandson.

Lin Han was overjoyed and knelt down again to thank him.It can be said that it is different from the past to have heirs.

Gu Pingjin still smiled and ordered Gu Quan to send him out of the palace.

Three days later.

In Jing'an Palace, Gu Pingjin corrected the memorials of the past few days.The attendant Gu Quan hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Pei is still kneeling outside the palace. It has been more than half a day."

The brush strokes paused and formed a mass of ink dots. Gu Pingjin frowned, wrote a new line, and continued to reply.

"Let him kneel for half a month."
