Hou Men Splendid

Chapter 134
It was almost noon the next day when my uncle's fever subsided, and he woke up faintly. Ling'er hurried over, and the person lying on the bed looked at the people around him in confusion, and shouted hoarsely, " Little Bell."

"Grandpa, I'm here. Grandpa, are you better?" Ling'er went to him and held his hand. Lan Yueze turned to look at her, and after a while, "Little Ling'er looks good in this dress, and she will always be like this from now on." Put on."

His voice was very slow, the doctor took his pulse, he looked at the people around him, their expressions were either excited or relieved, and they stopped when they saw Shao Ziyu, "You?"

"Grandpa, they are your family, they are here to look for you." Ling'er was crying, and Lan Yueze looked over one by one again, "Who is it?"

Decades have passed, memory is a very vague existence, Lan Yueze has become more and more forgetful in the past few years, and always forgets the past, but whenever he gets sick and no one knows him, there is always a subconscious feeling in his heart A voice told him to go home, but where was his home? That's why he was often lost, so he haunted the small town near Yanzhou City. After a few days he would be fine, and he would go back to the daughter's temple.

He didn't know these people in front of him, but he remembered the Lan family, and it was precisely those things that he couldn't forget. Ashamed and guilty made him want to go home, but couldn't.

So when Shao Ziyu mentioned that the case back then was to be reversed and the Lan family was justified, Lan Yue Zedun was there for a long time, the corners of his bearded mouth trembling, he closed his eyes, and tears fell

After being raised in Yanzhou for five or six days, my uncle was not in good health, so he returned to Luodu City by water. The Lan family wrote back to Luo Cheng to inform the head of the family that on the boat, the beard was shaved and he had taken care of himself for a few days, and his complexion improved. Yue Ze was blowing on the deck in a wheelchair.

Sometimes he looked at it in a daze, sometimes he lowered his head to think about something, Shao Ziyu walked over to him, Lan Yueze looked up at him, and sighed softly, "Can this case be overturned?"

"What little uncle didn't do, we can definitely find out the truth."

"But that letter was indeed written by me."

"You didn't mention the elopement. It's nothing to rely on the concubine to ask you to take her to elope, and the exchange of songs can't be seen." Shao Ziyu analyzed, "What happened back then, please think about it carefully. a bit."

Shao Ziyu left, and Lan Yueze sat quietly watching the scenery passing by on both sides of the river. The scene in the picture seemed to change to the palace 40 years ago. He was captured and knelt with Concubine Le, and the letter from that time was brought up. By the time, he was terrified.

The voices of father and elder brother begging for mercy, General Gu's accusations, Pin Le's confession, and the court lady's evidence, from the beginning to the end, it doesn't matter whether he says it or not. At that moment, he was already convicted, and secretly communicated with the concubine, planning to elope.

The word "elope" never appeared in his letter, instead he tried to persuade, but what he heard was the deliberate distortion of General Gu and the others.

His explanation really doesn't matter, because Le Pin admitted it.

In the end, he saw that his father was removed from office for him, and the whole family was demoted, and they were not allowed to return to Luodu City. The eldest sister could not hold her head up in Shaohou's mansion because of this, and his father passed away within a few years after leaving Luodu City.

But no one ever blamed him from the beginning to the end. Father said that the Lan family's power was over, and not because of this incident, some people would find other things to bring the Lan family down.

The picture of the memories stopped at the day when he left home. In the early morning, the sky was pale, and Luocheng’s downtown hadn’t even started yet. It was quiet, and there were lanterns hanging on both sides of the street, and the yellow light lined the door panels of the shops.

He went out of the city gate and saw that the guards guarding the gate all night were still in a daze. He didn't know where to go, but his footsteps didn't stop. Wherever he went, he went nowhere.
It was already mid-March when I returned to Luodu City. Shao Ziyu brought my uncle to Shao’s house to take care of him. When he returned to the city in the second half, he was a little confused again. He asked Ling’er an hour ago, but he didn’t know about it in the next hour. Now that he recognized someone, he would have jumped off the boat and left if he hadn't been taken care of personally.

Sending someone to the Wei Mansion to find Wei Ming to come over to check my uncle's pulse. Lin Qingran sent letters to both her father and grandfather, and walked to the small yard. There were two people standing by the door. The boy who followed was protecting her all the time.

Brother Bo followed behind, saw a beautiful sister at the door, but instead moved to Lin Qingran, "Mom."

"Go and say hello to your brother and sister." Lin Qingran pushed him, and the little guy fell on him shyly, pulling her and refused to let go, insisting on going over together.

Lin Qingran took him to the door, and Ling'er turned around to see them, also looking a little embarrassed, Lin Qingran looked at her with a smile, "You are Ling'er?"

The little girl nodded, and Brother Bo walked two steps in front of her, looked up at her for a while, then turned around and hugged Lin Qingran, smiling happily.

Ling'er was amused by him, and Wei Ming came out of the room, followed by Shao Ziyu, "Master Wei, can this disease be cured?"

"At present, I feel better and can be relieved, but this will get worse with age, so it will be very difficult to cure." Wei Ming shook his head. If it can be cured, even if it is not easy to cure, he will not say so.

Shao Ziyu also understood the character of Imperial Physician Wei, saying it was difficult, but it was basically impossible.

Wei Ming suggested to recuperate for a while, stay at Shao's house, and wait for the Lan family to come over. Shao Ziyu went to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and started to investigate the case again according to what my uncle said.

All the people in Le Pin's palace were executed, including the court lady who knew about it, but there were not only these people present that day, but also the eunuchs around the ancestor emperor.

There were more than one eunuch beside the ancestor emperor. At that time, there were several junior eunuchs who followed the chief eunuch, including Liu Jin, the most powerful father-in-law beside the late emperor.

When this case happened, many people in the palace at that time knew about it, but there are not many people left until now.

Asked Zhang Zhonghou, none of them had the impression that Eunuch Liu was there. The reason why my uncle remembered it was because it was Eunuch Liu who led the way when he was brought into the palace.

When the ancestors were emperors, Eunuch Liu was just a young apprentice taught by the eunuch next to the ancestors. After the emperor ascended the throne, he turned to serve the emperor for so many years, and now he has left the palace to retire.

Shao Ziyu took people to Liu Jin's house to visit. It is a small mansion to walk into.

Being by the late emperor's side for so many years was naturally a lot of rewards, and he was not in love with the palace either. Once the late emperor left, the masters changed, and when he was old enough to leave the palace, he left the palace to live his own life.

Seeing Shao Ziyu coming, Liu Jin warmly greeted him to drink tea and chat in the small garden, and also talked to Shao Ziyu about the interest he had cultivated recently, raising flowers all over the yard, and waiting for them to bloom.

Until Shao Ziyu explained the reason for his visit, Liu Jin suppressed his smile, "Master Shao came here for this matter."

"I'm not afraid of my father-in-law's jokes. I've been investigating this matter for almost half a year, and I really got some clues last month. My father-in-law was also in the palace back then. Concubine Le insisted that the third master of the Lan family wanted to elope with her, but in fact, Lan The third master of the family does not have feelings for her, it is just that the two families are old friends, and after seeing her letter saying that the palace is suffering, he wrote back to explain it, and there is no personal relationship."

Liu Jin was silent, but Shao Ziyu continued. "About this file, the Empress Dowager allowed me to read it. If the case is bad, it will be private and will not be made public, so please rest assured, father-in-law." No matter who is wronged, the face of the royal family is always the most important.

After Shao Ziyu finished speaking, he stopped talking and waited quietly. After a long time, Liu Jin stood up, "Follow me."

One day at the end of March, Shao Ziyu brought his little uncle into the palace for a face-to-face meeting. The next day, the elder of the Shao family was summoned into the palace.

Mr. Shao didn't know that 40 years ago, he was not young, but he was not very old, he was not married yet, and he hadn't reached the time to make a decision, so after listening to the case of 40 years ago, he still I was stunned.

General Gu's reputation has been ruined enough, and one more addition is to give the title of General Gu, following in the footsteps of General Gu, that is, there are two people who conspired together to let the Lan family leave Luodu City Minister, now that he has passed away, what can be judged? Forget his merits during his lifetime. If he has a title, this title should be taken back;

So the patriarchs of the two ministers' families were also summoned together with Mr. Shao.

The little emperor looked at so many people kneeling. Forty years ago, even his father was not even born, and the emperor's grandfather was not very old.

But he is very clear about whether it is right or wrong. General Gu and the other three made a big fuss about this matter in order to drive the Lan family out of Luodu City. The third master had an affair and tried to elope. After making a fuss with the letter, he didn't want the third master of the Lan family to die.

As for this matter, according to what Liu Jin said, the ancestor emperor at that time also knew whether the third master of the Lan family was wronged or not, but he indulged the old general Gu and others, turned a blind eye to let this happen, Just a concubine in the palace.

The emperor's grandfather once told him that the ancestor emperor was too confused in his later years. If it weren't for the ancestor's grandmother's tricks, the emperor's grandfather who was the prince at that time might not be able to successfully inherit the throne.

The muddleheaded ancestor emperor paired up with Old General Gu, and they did all the muddleheaded things, and it wasn't just the Lan family who suffered at that time.

The little prince listened, and looked up at Prince Bei, "Old General Gu and the others have already passed away, so it's actually unintentional to talk about crimes. The Lan family has been wronged for 40 years. Uncle Huang sees how to make up for this matter."

"Your majesty, the Lan family has been wronged for so many years. Naturally, they have to be cleared first. Taifu Lan was demoted back then, and finally died of depression. Even though he passed away, he still needs to be reinstated as an official, so as to comfort his spirit in heaven. Because of this matter, Mrs. Shao, who married Master Shao, was implicated until her death, and she was not allowed to enter the palace under the imperial order, so she should be apologetic."

"Since Taifu Lan and Mrs. Shao have both passed away, let Mrs. Lan be made the Duke of Zhong and Mrs. Shao the Lady of Yipin. This title has been inherited for three generations. How many generations is the head of the Lan family now?" The little emperor pondered for a moment. asked.

Prince Bei replied with a smile, "The current Patriarch of the Lan family happens to be Taifu Lan's eldest grandson."

"That's just right, Duke Zhong's title is up to him, let them move back to Luodu City, give them a mansion, how to make it clear, the emperor's uncle drafted this decree on my behalf."
