Since this matter was related to the relatives of the emperor and had a great impact, the Emperor's Mansion, Dali Temple, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice jointly tried the case.The presiding judges are Prince Lingrui of the Clan Mansion, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment.

The Ministry of Punishment was originally the territory of the Queen's Party. Mr. Zhu Ge used to be the Minister of the Ministry of Justice. After he left the Ministry of Punishment, his successor was still the Queen's Party.It's a pity that the time sequence has changed and everything has metabolized. After the Queen Mother and the Zhu family were hit hard several times in a row, their control over the Ministry of Punishment is not as good as before.Especially years ago, after Ding You, Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs who favored the Zhu family, the influence of the Zhu family on the Ministry of Criminal Justice fell to the lowest point in history.

The right servant of the Ministry of punishment is from the Zhu family, but his talents are not as good as the left servant of the Ministry of punishment sent by the emperor, so he is crushed to death.

Now, among the three people presiding over this case, Prince Rui and the new Secretary of the Ministry of Justice are all imperial party members, only the Shaoqing of Dali Temple has not shown any tendency. However, this result is enough to worry the Zhu family.

Few believed that the emperor would try the case impartially.

When there were some clues in the case, this kind of thinking became even stronger - the person who did it was very likely to be a female official under the Queen Mother?

What a joke, how could the queen mother attack her own family!Even though the Empress Dowager and the Zhu family are not as close as they were in the past few years, the Empress Dowager is the daughter of the Zhu family after all!

However, as more and more clues were found, people's disbelief at the beginning has turned into half-belief.One after another is enough to prove that the arson and murder were indeed committed by a female official whom the Empress Dowager relied heavily on.

After being arrested, the female officer bowed her head in the direction of the Empress Dowager's palace, and then said to the three presiding officers with a sneer: "Don't ask me, my lords, I did this. Over the years, I saw Seeing that the empress dowager was repeatedly involved in the affairs of the Zhu family, she had long been dissatisfied with the Zhu family. This time, the empress dowager did not plan to intervene in the remarriage of the eldest princess, but the dude of the Zhu family pretended to be clever and tricked the empress into being unkind! The empress is not good at doing anything because of family affection, but I can't stand it any longer, it's better to die early for such a disaster, lest I continue to harm others and myself!"

"So, do you admit that you were ordered by the Queen Mother to kill 36 people in the Zhu family?"

"No, I never said that!" The female officer held her head high: "I did this all by myself, and the Empress Dowager was totally unaware of it! Don't blame the Empress Dowager! The Empress Dowager has been very kind to me, but it's a pity , I only have to report in the next life!"

As he spoke, he slammed his head against the wall.

As early as when she said the last sentence, the people around her were prepared. She just hit her head, but her life was unharmed.

Prince Rui frowned, and waved at the surrounding guards: "Take her back to the prison first!"

As an imperial party, Prince Rui and the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice certainly did not want the case to develop in favor of the Zhu family, but it was beyond their expectations that things went so smoothly.

The culprit was arrested suddenly, confessed without any struggle, and had reasonable motives for the crime...everything went so smoothly, it looked as if someone had carefully woven a net to frame the Queen Mother.

If such a result is made public, the people outside will only suspect that the female official was ordered by the queen mother to get rid of her natal family who kept holding her back, and finally died in her place.This is of course what Prince Rui and Minister of the Ministry of Justice would like to see, but the Empress Dowager and the Zhu family will never accept it.

Fortunately, the life of the female officer was saved. After the female officer regained consciousness, she could interrogate her in depth to find out what was going on.

No matter how unacceptable it is, two more interrogations and the same confession as before, I have to accept it, right?

Prince Rui and Shangshu Xingbu were right in thinking, the Zhu family did not intend to let it go.How could they accept that so many promising nephews had died in the clan, and the spearhead was directed at the biggest backer of the Zhu family?

The members of the Zhu family predicted that the imperial party must have manipulated this case and planted the crime on the Queen Mother!The female officer with convincing evidence must have been instigated by Prince Rui and others to say this!

It's a pity that Prince Rui and Minister of the Ministry of Punishment would not pay any attention to how they clamored outside.From the beginning to the end, the one who was most sure of the innocence of these two people was the Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

Others don't know whether Prince Rui and Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice have done anything during the investigation of this case, how can he not know?

Faced with this result, Shaoqing of Dali Temple couldn't help shaking his head.

Regardless of whether it was this female official who was taking the blame for her queen mother's master, or she was instructed to frame the queen mother, everything can only show that the queen mother's control over the people below is indeed not as good as before.How could such a thing have happened in the heyday of the Empress Dowager?I'm afraid that just showing a little sign, the queen mother can press down.

Besides, the Zhu family, the Empress Dowager's natal family, is really just like what the female official said, becoming more and more confused.Before they figured out what was going on, they began to insist that the imperial party was doing favoritism, and that the imperial party wanted to frame them...

The Shaoqing of Dali Temple just wanted to complain, hehe, if someone framed you, you should come up with some strong evidence anyway, what's the use of just yelling over there!If there is no evidence, the case can only be closed according to the female officer's confession. After all, the female officer handed over the evidence of murdering Zhu's family before the confession. The evidence is solid!

Facts have proved that the Zhu family also understands this truth.But for a while, where did they get the evidence!In particular, they want to prove that the emperor ordered the female officer to do this... After checking, they can only find out that the female officer is a loyal confidant of the queen mother. Before the female official sent someone to set fire to Zhu's house, she had a secret meeting with the queen mother... ...The more you search, the deeper the details of these two aspects are dug out, but the information that the Zhu family wanted to hear was nothing...

In the end, even some members of the Zhu family felt... ouch, my dear, the Queen Mother really did this, right?The purpose is to save the chaff from the chaff in one's own faction.

The mother of the nephew and nephew of the family who had directly talked with Mr. Zhu Ge burst into tears: "Sin, my child has always been dedicated to the affairs of the Queen Mother and the Zhu family, and has never had a second heart. Even if there is no credit, there is hard work! Now it is only one day. This matter is not in line with the empress dowager's wishes, and the empress dowager turned her face on and denied anyone! What a crime!" While crying, she said: "The empress dowager doesn't like my child, so she just sent her away from afar, why bother to do such a cruel thing ! My child has just reached the crown!"

There are not a few people in the family who have the same idea as her, most of them are relatives of the deceased.

Some people in the family advised them not to fall into the emperor's divorce scheme, and they said again: "I don't know whether to separate or not. I only know that the person who killed my son/my husband is a confidant of the Queen Mother. That-bitch-people- But when the little emperor was young, he followed the empress dowager! Could it be that the -bitch-man was still sent by the little emperor? If he hadn't got instructions from the queen mother, why would the -bitch-man give up his bright future and do this? God damned deed! You are still speaking for the Empress Dowager today, how do you know that one day you won’t get in the way of the Empress Dowager and be treated as trash by the Empress Dowager!”

Seeing that they could not get any more information after waiting, the Zhu family decided to take a risk to visit the prison, and it would be best if they could pry the female officer's mouth open and get some useful information.

If Mr. Zhu Ge was here, he would definitely stop their stupid actions, but unfortunately, after vomiting blood once, Mr. Zhu Ge's body completely collapsed.Now that Zhu Ge is always lying on the bed, he is less awake and more sleepy, how can he keep an eye on his clansmen?

If he didn't keep an eye on it, some tribesmen who like to pretend to be smart will be stupid again.

After the Zhu family talked about being in prison, the female officer died in prison that night.

Now, even if the Zhu family had something to say, they couldn't tell.In the same way, the charges against the Empress Dowager are almost confirmed.

Later, the old lady beside the queen mother had no choice but to come forward, saying that the female official had long betrayed her master and committed such unforgivable heinous crimes in private, trying to put the blame on the queen mother and drive a wedge between the queen mother and the Zhu family.

It's just that the Queen Mother's words are unsubstantiated after all, and she can't come up with real evidence, and what the Queen Mother did seems to be making excuses for herself. Therefore, many people outside are skeptical about the Queen Mother's words.

However, under the strong intervention of the Queen Mother, the case was finally settled.

Apart from the 36 lives lost, it seems that the Queen Mother and the Zhu family have no other losses.Only the Queen Mother knows that after this battle, her prestige will be greatly reduced.In the past, people outside would not say they believed her words very much, they would always believe them eight to nine points. After this incident, if she said anything else in the future, it would be considered good if others believed her words five or six points.

It's a pity that the people behind the female officer's backstage are too slippery and relentless, and they can't catch anything in a short time. Otherwise, why would she be in such an embarrassing situation!

As for her natal family, the queen mother doesn't even want to mention it now.Ever since her brother fell ill, there were few people in her natal family who understood.

If she could, she really wished she could draw a line with her natal family who was always holding back!

The queen mother thought, since she was already so passive, it would be even better.That matter... She must do it as soon as possible.

On the third day of Shao Shuhua and Ye Jingze's marriage, Beiliang and Xiyi invaded the border of Great Xia at the same time.The emperor ordered General Weiyuan to go north to fight against Beiliang, and at the same time sent one of his favorite generals to review the affairs of Xiyi. Unfortunately, the general he sent was defeated by Xiyi and lost twenty cities.

Although General Weiyuan was good at fighting, he had to fight on two fronts due to the loss of the west. In addition, the supply of food and grass was not enough, and he was retreating steadily. After losing six cities, he had to switch from offensive to defensive, waiting for the imperial reinforcements .

When the news spread to the imperial capital, the joyful atmosphere when Princess Zhen Guo got married disappeared, and everyone felt insecure.

And the emperor, because of his defeat in the war, was questioned by his subordinates.

No one expected that the Empress Dowager would come to the fore again under such circumstances—by virtue of a decree from the former emperor to assist the country.

The decree states that if the emperor is still incapable of governing when he reaches the age of pro-government, the queen mother will continue to assist the country for five years.
