As the newly released Shaoqing of Dali Temple, Xiao Han's life is still as usual, and he has been involved in various cases.

Zhenwu Hou not only handed over military power, but also wrote a memorial to the emperor, begging for old age to return home, saying that he was old and wanted to move his family back to Jiangling to educate his descendants. This sincere comment made the emperor quite moved, and also recalled the contributions of the four generations of the Tang family to fight for the Daning.

Finally, he issued an order to approve it, and gave it ten thousand taels of gold, thousands of pieces of silk, etc., and retained the hereditary title of Zhenwu Hou and named Zhenwu Hou the eldest son of Zhenwu Hou as the Left Counselor of Jiangling.

Tang Xiong was also a clever approach. Zhenwu Hou Mansion has lost its real power. Concubine Xiao, who has always been an enemy, is pregnant and has been named a concubine. If she remains in the capital, she is afraid that she will be unlucky sooner or later. It is better to retreat to Jiangling early and preserve the entire clan to wait for a new rise in the future.

Emperor Ronghua was not hesitant to give Zhenwu Hou, but when he stripped the Tang family of military power, he also had many promotions and demotions, and the real power was replaced by false positions, the emperor did not show mercy. The left counselor of Jiangling seemed to have high power in the local area, but there were checks and balances at the same level. Even if Zhenwu Hou Mansion was rich in connections, it was not easy to move.

Xiao Han did not pay much attention to the affairs in the court, but Xiao Ruoqiao should be happy thinking that Zhenwuhou's family is not in the capital.

Another concubine was the imperial concubine below one person in the harem and above ten thousand people. I heard that the emperor had newly built Yuheng Palace and countless rare treasures were sent to Concubine Xiao.

When Xiao Han entered the palace, he saw that Concubine Xiao had no joy on her face. She was confused and Concubine Xiao spoke, "Mr. Zhu is dead."

This is really surprising news.

"She was so scared to death." Xiao Ruoqiao looked sad and laughed, with a sarcasm and hatred towards Zhu, "Jiashu, are you laughing?"

The person she hates the most is Zhu.

But I didn't expect that it would end up like such an absurd end.

Xiao Han was also a little surprised, but Xiao Ruoqiao sent someone to stare at Chen Dao and his wife after they returned home. She was not surprised. This was something Xiao Ruoqiao would do.

"The news brought back by my people was that when Zhu heard that I was named the Imperial Concubine, he died in fear."

Xiao Ruoqiao was not much happy. She had thought of making Zhu lose all her support and taste the pain of losing her closest relatives. She could not survive or die.

Now she was scared to death because of a piece of news. Her hatred most died, but she left Xiao Ruoqiao with regret.

"My second sister is now a mother. I don't know if it will be a little prince or a little princess." Xiao Han looked at her gently, and the child in her belly who had no chance to be born because of hatred in the book.

Xiao Ruoqiao was slightly silent.

In fact, Zhu was tortured to death. After she and Chen's father returned to their hometown, although they lost the honor of the past wife, they were still rich and noble. After the disaster in the capital, she also restrained a lot. But unexpectedly, Xiao Ruoqiao became pregnant, promoted to the imperial concubine, and moved to Jiangling by Zhenwuhou Mansion. Since he heard this, Zhu has been in peace day and night, afraid that Concubine Xiao will be punished again and asked her to pay Miss Xiao's life.

As a result, I went there one night, and the maid was gone when she went to see it.

The news of Zhu's death soon spread to the capital. Whether it was Chen Hui or Han Jinyu, they had to go back to their hometown to attend the funeral. Chen Hui was even more so direct, but he didn't know what official position he would be in after three years.

Han Jinyu claimed leave to the court and brought his wife Chen Miaoying and Chen Hui and his wife back to Ningzhou.

On the way, Tang Wanyue complained several times because of the journey. Chen Miaoying, who was also weak and often took medicine, said nothing.

This kind of thing must be rushed back soon.

The ones who were with him were Chen Hui and Tang Wanyue's son Chen Qi, who was given the name by Han Jinyu. He was only over three years old, but he was closer to the wet nurse than to his biological mother Tang Wanyue.

It’s not a fault for the child. Tang Wanyue was worried and worried when she was pregnant with him, and she was restless day and night. She even suffered a lot of injuries for giving birth to him. After giving birth, Tang Wanyue was even more delicate than the child, so she had no energy to take care of the child.

I rushed to hurry up and finally arrived in Ningzhou after five or six days. White banners were hung everywhere in the Chen family's mansion, and Chen Miaoying and Chen Hui brothers couldn't help crying when they saw it.

After celebrating the tablets in the mourning hall, Han Jinyu also felt emotion.

Although the reason is a bit absurd, it is not surprising that Han Jinyu's understanding of this mother-in-law's nature will die due to fear.

Chen's father also got much older and had white hair on his temples, probably because he suddenly lost his wife in middle age due to his experience in recent years.

Han Jinyu also noticed that the door of the Chen family was deserted and there were not many people coming and going. Even the prefect of Ningzhou was so sad that he sent someone to the funeral for his sake. Although Chen's father held the funeral in a low-key manner and was afraid to hold a big deal, it was a very different story compared to the former two Jinshis and the crowded families of Zhenwuhou.

———

Xiao Ruoqiao was still feeling sad and hesitant about Zhu's death. The Tang family lost power, but Han Jinyu was still in the court, and there were others.

At this time, an imperial edict from the previous dynasty came, "The Xiao family has a daughter, Xiao Ruolan, who is honest and elegant, has a bright and beautiful virtue, and is kind and charming,... She teaches her younger brothers and sisters and stands up to the style of the Xiao family. She is moved by her talent, virtue and character, and she is named the Lady of Huai State."

In addition to posthumous enfeoffment, the tombs of Xiao Ruolan and Xiao’s parents were also repaired, and the Ministry of Rites ordered the Ministry of Rites to prepare sacrificial poems, etc.

When the emperor returned to Yuheng Palace, he smiled gently and said, "I am happy to be a concubine."

Xiao Ruoqiao's eyes were slightly wet, and he showed a sincere smile, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The knot in my heart seemed to finally disperse.

The emperor came to Concubine Xiao's palace every day, and she felt depressed. How could the emperor not see it?

No matter how gorgeous the palace is, no matter how many rare treasures it brings, it cannot make Concubine Xiao really happy. When the emperor was hurt, fortunately a small yellow sect around him suggested that he had heard from Xiao Shaoqing that Concubine Xiao was raised by her elder sister since childhood and regarded her elder sister as her mother. Although she was dead, she missed her endlessly.

The past is irreversible, but he was posthumously named Xiao Ruolan as the first-rank lady of Huai Kingdom, praised the virtues and character of the people of the world, and made up for the regrets in Concubine Xiao's heart. It can be said that he was very considerate.

When Xiao Han entered the palace again, he saw Concubine Xiao watching the baby clothes made by the embroiderer and choosing styles. The person was really much more relaxed, and he no longer became obsessed with the matters of the Marquis of Zhenwu or the Han Jinyu and Chen family.

However, whether it is Zegang, or whether it is for his mother, Xiao Jiashu will be worried that the more high-ranking officials and powerful people they offended, Xiao Ruoqiao will not become weak.

Even if he let go of the hatred in his heart, Xiao Ruoqiao will not forget the importance of high power.

But even though Xiao Guifei, who taught Xiao Jiashu several times, never said that he should not stay in Dali Temple and be careful to offend the powerful when investigating the case.

She has also tasted the feeling of being bullied by power and being sad and indecent, and what reason does she have to stop Xiao Jiashu from rehabilitating those unfair and wronged matters?

Fortunately, the last kindness in Xiao Ruoqiao's heart was not destroyed by hatred.

———

In the fifth year of Yongjia, the new emperor had succeeded to the throne for a long time, and the government had been stable at the beginning. If he wanted to promote his uncle, he was also the current Dali Temple Minister Xiao Jiashu.

Not only what the Empress Dowager hoped, but the new emperor also felt that this was what his uncle deserved. Whether it was the Empress Dowager's younger brother or the political achievements that had been solved in Dali Temple for many years, the Dali Temple Minister, who was only a third-ranked person, was still inferior.

Even if you have a title of a benefactor, there is no criticism.

The new emperor has a good impression of this low-key, smart, honest and strict uncle.

As a result, I was rejected.

Of course, this is not the first time I rejected it.

When his father was alive, he also thought about becoming a title.

My uncle said that he wanted to stay in Dali Temple and no other official positions were needed. The new emperor couldn't help but feel very regretful and had to go back and avenge the empress dowager.

Empress Dowager Xiao’s heart has dispersed a lot compared to the past, and even the new emperor appointed Han Jinyu, he didn’t care much about this. Of course, Xiao Han told her that the new emperor was her biological son, but it was also the reason for the king and father of all people in the world.

Regarding the early years, Empress Dowager Xiao also understood that in addition to the Chen family's fault of betraying the engagement, the world was too harsh on women and rumors were invisible. When she became the Queen Mother, under her intentional influence, the status of folk women gradually improved.

It can be said that Empress Xiao has nothing to worry about.

In addition to not wanting to be granted titles and honors, one thing Empress Dowager Xiao once cared about was that Xiao Jiashu would not marry.

This will make the Xiao family have no descendants.

Empress Xiao was worried and after tolerating Xiao Jiashu for many years, she decided to make the decision to marry him.

The Dali Temple Minister, who was busy, specially entered the palace for this reason and successfully convinced Empress Xiao.

"I think the Xiao family is glorious enough. From now on, the blood of the Xiao family has been flowing from the royal family for a hundred years. Can't this be said to be glorious?"

Upon hearing this, Empress Xiao, what else can she say? She is not a person who is polite to ethics. After listening to this, she has no regrets and will no longer mention the matter of marrying a wife and leaving her behind.

Regarding the matter of not marrying a wife and having children, Xiao Han’s reason is very simple. He has done his best to fulfill the client’s wish, so she will not force herself to do such a thing. Moreover, without a descendant, it is better than Xiao Jiashu’s original ending.

As for possible criticism, Xiao Han also made mental preparations for being invincible with all poisons, such as a good male style, physical illness, etc.

Who knew that except for the second sister Xiao Ruoqiao, the folk rumors were a bit distorted.

Lord Xiao is the incarnation of Xie Feng, distinguishing good and evil, upholding justice, and having the spirit of benevolence, righteousness and peace.

Since it is a divine beast who descends to earth, protects the country of Daning and clears the grievances of unjust people in the world, how can it be compared with mortals?

What's so strange about not getting married and having children?

Xiao Han: "…"

What she didn't know was that after she left this world, someone actually set up a temple to worship incense for her.

***

Xiao Jiashu was appointed as the Minister of Dali Temple and was in charge of the world's criminal prisons. After his death, he was posthumously named Duke of Ming and posthumously named Qingzheng.

He has left dozens of letters to solve the case, which were collected and compiled by officials from Dali Temple.

It is called "Dali Case", also known as "Xie Zhilu".

Because he solved countless cases in his life and no one called for justice, he clearly determined the wrongful cases, did not fear the powerful and the people, and was widely loved by him, and was known as Xiao Xiezhi. This legendary experience was compiled by later generations, and in these stories, Xiao Xiezhi always symbolized "righteousness, openness, purity and justice", and "bright world".
