After my inner voice was exposed, I made the tyrant cry anxiously

The case of Crown Prince Jing’s rebellion was finally completed, and the culpability of the relevant persons was determined.

Song Qianfan deprived him of his title and gave him a cup of poisoned wine. He respected the king for his incompetence in teaching his son, and ordered him to return to his fiefdom in Suzhou after the year. The imperial court and the people of the world pray for blessings.

The Yu family was suspected of treason, and the rebel Yu Ting was executed. Nian's relatives did not know about it. The Yu family was exempted from the death penalty and was exiled to Qingzhou.

Mei He, the Minister of Civil Affairs, took advantage of his position to accept bribes many times, and he also worked with the criminal Song Qianfan to deceive the emperor. The crime was unpardonable, so he was immediately beheaded, the Mei family's property was confiscated, and the Mei family's house was taken back.

Other relevant persons shall be convicted as appropriate.

The imperial edict to punish him had been issued. Most people thought that after all, Su Juan had lived in Prince Jing's Mansion for a period of time and had been taken care of by Prince Jing and his wife, so they might spare him. However, they did not expect that she would not show any mercy at all. Prince Jing and his wife, one will return to their fiefdom, and the other will practice in Kaishan Temple.

Seeing how cruel Su Juan was, no one in the capital dared to come to plead for mercy.

In the prison of the Criminal Department, the poisoned wine given by the old emperor had been delivered for a long time, but Song Qianfan still refused to drink it and clamored to see the Su family.

The people below had no choice but to ask Yu Zhong for instructions on whether to report this matter to Princess Jinyang. Maybe there might be some clues that could help the case.

Yu Zhong went to the prison alone. The Prince Jing, who was so famous back then, was now a prisoner in the prison, in a miserable state, but he still looked like he was bossing around.

"Song Qianfan, what else do you have to say?"

Song Qianfan's face was livid, and he still wanted to make a final struggle, "I don't want you to tell me, but let Su Juan come to see me!"

Yu Zhong looked indifferent, "Your Majesty is about to crown her as the Crown Princess. She has no time to care about you as a prisoner. She gives you poisoned wine and leaves you with a whole body, which is enough to give you dignity."

The implication is that Song Qianfan should not be shameless.

Song Qianfan gritted his teeth, "Who do you think you are, shouting in front of this prince?"

"Let Su Juan come over! I will only talk to her!"

At this moment, Yu Zhong looked at the person in front of him. He really felt that he was not worthy of Su Juan. How could he have dealt with such a person in the past? He was so stupid that he did not repent until he died.

"His Majesty has deprived you of your title in Prince Jing's Palace. Prince Jing's Palace has no heir apparent. Now you are just a man waiting to die."

Just a few simple words, but Song Qianfan was so excited that he was so stunned that he cursed loudly.

Yu Zhong turned a deaf ear and waved his hand to signal the people behind him to come forward and subdue the person to the ground. The chamberlain from the palace was also stunned, and then hurriedly came forward with poisoned wine.

Several people in the prison watched with their own eyes as the Dali Temple Minister, who had always been known for his gentleness, took the wine glass and poured the poisonous wine into Song Qianfan's mouth.

After a while, Song Qianfan, who was shouting and cursing just now, died from the poison in an instant, with his eyes staring unblinking.

The chamberlain was secretly shocked. After all, this was King Jing's son. His Majesty only gave him the poisoned wine to save Song Qianfan's dignity. However, Master Yu drank the poisoned wine directly without fear of being resented by King Jing and his wife. , and are not afraid of being held accountable by His Majesty.

After all, just now, he planned to return to the palace to report.

Yu Zhong's voice was low, and he glanced at the chamberlain, "It's just a death row prisoner, how can he disturb the palace?" This chamberlain is also someone who can judge his expression. Anyway, Song Qianfan is dead, so it doesn't matter how he died. Xiang Yu After Zhong said goodbye, he went directly back to the palace to resume his duties.

The Su family members were a little surprised to learn that Yu Zhong drank poisoned wine and died. Song Qianfan was bound to die sooner or later. Just dragging him out like this wore out the old emperor's patience. He died with a chop on his head.

Therefore, no matter how much Song Qianfan clamored to see him, he did not go to see him.

She frowned, "Why should Yu Zhong seek such bad luck?"

Shen Ru regretfully smiled and dropped the chess piece in his hand on the chessboard, "Don't you understand why Lord Yu is looking for such bad luck?"

Su Juan was puzzled, "What should I understand?"

Shen Ruhui said in a slow voice, "Your Majesty is about to ennoble Your Highness as the Crown Princess, and will soon choose a husband for Your Highness. Everyone in the capital knows that many aristocratic families are concerned about your position as the Royal Husband."

After Shen Ruhui said this, Su Juan had an idea in her mind, "You mean, Yu Zhong is also interested?"

Shen Ruhui nodded, "It should be."

The Su family members frowned. Yu Zhong has now solved two major cases in a row. If he will reward his merits in the future, he will have a better future. Why bother to wade into his own troubled waters?

Even fools know how to choose between the minister of Dali Temple and the emperor's husband.

Shen Ruhui explained, "The Yu family used to be a famous aristocratic family in our dynasty. Later, they were demoted for making mistakes. The whole family was not allowed to enter the officialdom for three generations. As a result, the Yu family also declined. By the time of Yu Zhong's father, three generations had passed, but The Yu family has been in decline for hundreds of years, and it is not easy for the younger members of the family to become officials and revitalize the Yu family."

"There is only one member of the Yu family, Yu Zhong, who was promoted to Dali Temple as an errand because of his good judgment in prisons. Previously, an incident in the Criminal Department's building implicated most of the Criminal Department, and there was no one available for the time being. So Dou Yan recommended it to Your Majesty. Because he handled the case well, he was promoted to the post of Shaoqing of Dali Temple. If not, he would not have reached his current position even if he wasted another twenty years."

Thinking about Yu Zhong's position, what he wanted was not the honor and disgrace of one person, but the entire Yu family.

Even if he works in Dali Temple for many years, he will not be able to expand his network of contacts in the capital, and it will be difficult for the Yu family to return to the capital. However, if he can win the favor of Princess Jinyang and win the position of imperial concubine, once the Su family ascends the throne, he will be the future As the queen, the Yu family can take advantage of the opportunity to enter the capital, and the children of the family will have a way out.

Shen Ruhui did not clarify the latter, but Su Juan also understood it.

Yu Zhong wanted to revitalize the Yu family. He knew in his heart that as the minister of Dali Temple, he was promoted out of the ordinary. It was already difficult to move up the ranks. It was almost impossible in ten years. But if the Yu family and the Crown Princess were tied together, , those who look at the dishes will also weigh it themselves.

Seeing that Su Juan was thinking too much, Shen Ruhui smiled and said, "You have the Duke's Palace behind you. When Your Majesty chooses a royal husband for you, he will definitely not choose a wealthy family. There are only a few suitable people of the right age in the capital."

"Liu Xuan is good, but after all, he is responsible for the prosperity of the Liu family and wants to gain a foothold in the previous dynasty, so he has no chance with you."

Shen Ruhui spoke clearly, but also wanted Su Juan to have a clearer understanding. After all, he could also see that the atmosphere between the two of them, even though he had never said it out loud, actually had some good feelings in his heart.

Hearing this, Su Juan rubbed the chess piece with his fingertips and said in a deep voice, "I never thought about what you said."

After all, I never thought about getting married from the beginning to the end.

Shen Ruhui told the truth, "But His Highness is about to be conferred, and whether it is voluntary or forced, he will eventually get married." (End of this chapter)
