Capital Hall Order Hall.

Mr. Lu looked at the consuls sitting in the hall, and he whispered: "All the ministers Zhang Dunli and Princess Shoukang have all confessed!"

"I confessed that I was saying something after drinking..."

"Everyone said, how should the Dutang report to deal with this matter?"

To be honest, you are still in shock at this time.

It is really the job that Zhang Dunli did, beyond everyone's imagination.

Before the servants of the princess' residence made a first announcement, no one expected that the dignified princess Duwei, the emperor's uncle, the son-in-law of the empress dowager, and the late emperor personally chose Princess Shoukang's husband.

He can actually say such a head-lost word!

It's fine to say it!

It was actually said in front of others...

What else can someone say?

Therefore, everyone believed in the confession of the princess and Zhang Dunli.

that is……

A new question began to linger in their hearts.

That is - this matter, is the one in the palace fishing and enforcing the law?

Before that, everyone had similar expectations.

Because a lot of evidence shows that the prince-in-law Zhang Dunli has interfered and influenced the major policies that are being promoted today.

However, when Zhang Dunli cursed the king and father, everyone was uncertain again.

Obviously, the current situation has exceeded the scope of "punishing the prince consort".

Zhang Dunli’s charge has been confirmed!

Death is undoubtedly true!

How old is it today?

No matter how smart he is, he is no matter how talented he is in politics.

It is impossible that at this age, it is already so ruthless, right?

Right!?

Besides, today I am not a bloodthirsty king.

The rulings can feel it.

This Majesty is responsible for his work, has goals, has bottom-line, and is warm and affectionate.

In their impression, this Majesty has not crossed any bottom line since he ascended the throne.

For example, the tutors of the Investigation Department only operate in the market.

The ministers' own private space has never been violated.

At the same time, his respect for the elders and his magnanimity to the elders of the royal family are obvious to all.

The Grand Tutor Wen Yanbo, Zhang Fangping, the Jiedu Governor of Zhangde Army, Feng Jing, the Jiedu Governor of Baoning Army...

And the late Sima Guang, and Han Jiang who has retired.

Even Zhang Yu, An Tao and others who were convicted of being imprisoned were in power.

Who mentioned this Majesty, isn’t it a tribute to praise him or worship him?

It's impossible that everyone has taken a look at it, right?

Let's talk about it...

Even if it is pretending, it has been installed for so long, how could it be exposed because of Zhang Dunli?

so……

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

Unlike his colleagues who are very active, Fu Yaoyu, the subordinate minister, never thought about these things that had nothing to do with his job.

Therefore, while others were still thinking, he had already answered directly: "Report to Zuo Kui, the lower official thought that the prince consort cursed the king and father, and his crime was unforgivable, and he should be beheaded in half according to the law!"

This is inevitable.

According to the law, this should be done!

However, considering that the prince-consort is a royal relative, he must be decent.

There will definitely be some preferential treatment in the end.

Exorcist death is the best choice.

But these decisions should not be made by them.

These ministers are enough to just shout and fight and kill.

Finally, how to give up on your kindness is to be taken by the palace.

"What about the princess?" Mr. Lu asked, "What about the princess' son and the son-in-law's parents and brothers?"

Fu Yaoyu said: "The princess is the daughter of the Empress Dowager, the elder sister of the emperor, and the younger sister of the late emperor. It should be determined by the two palaces Ci Sheng and His Majesty the Emperor..."

"As for the princess's son, it's also normal!"

"It's Zhang Dunli's parents and brothers... the law should be held in a row... according to the law should be snatched!"

"Would it be too strict?" Lu Gong asked.

Fu Yaoyu replied: "This is the law!"

In fact, according to the law, even if Zhang Dunli was charged with it, he was at least Lingchi, and his immediate relatives could not escape being beaten in half.

But who said they were royal relatives?

Therefore, even such a serious crime should be demoted to one level.

Lu Gong pondered for a moment, and after thinking about it, he felt that he didn't seem to have to persist in this matter.

In order to leave someone a handle to attack, he asked the others: "What do you think?"

"Only the ministers and others follow me!" All the rulings stood up and worshiped.

"Good!" Mr. Lu nodded and ordered people to take paper and pen, write down the opinions of the capital hall, and then signed his own secrets, and then handed over to the other governors: "All masters, come and sign the secrets!"

"promise!"

...

After receiving the confession of Princess Shoukang and Zhang Dunli, the Empress Dowager came to Baoci Palace.

When Empress Dowager Xiang heard that the Empress Dowager had come in person, she hurried out to greet him.

However, there is no longer the respect and intimacy of the past.

When the Empress Dowager saw it, she wanted to tear Zhang Dunli into pieces in her heart.

Gao, Xiang and the two companies have been closely collaborative alliances in the Yuanyou era over the past two years.

Whether it is Xihe or Jiaozhou.

Whether it is the southeast or Bianjing.

If the relatives of Gao's family have something to make money, they will give Xiang a share of the pie.

Conversely, the same is true.

even……

The Gao family also took the initiative to give up many benefits to the Xiang family. This is because the Gao family knew that Empress Dowager Xiang was still young and the emperor would grow up sooner or later.

But she - the Empress Dowager of the present, is fifty-five, and she is fifty-six years old after this year.

The mother of the Song Dynasty, Zhang Xianmingsu, who lived the highest life, was only sixty-three years old.

If we calculate based on Zhang Xianmingsu's life span, it will only take a few years for the Empress Dowager to shelter the Gao family from the wind and rain.

And what about Empress Dowager Xiang?

She is less than forty and has a lifespan of at least twenty years.

The most important thing is that although the emperor on the spot was not his own, he was considered his own legitimate son in terms of patriarchal law and in fact.

The relationship between mother and son is extremely harmonious.

Therefore, the current situation is not because Xiang's family seeks Gao's family, but because Gao's family depends on Xiang's family.

In particular, the two nephews that the Empress Dowager cares most.

Gao Gongji and Gao Gonghui brothers are now almost completely tied to Xiang’s family.
