Benevolent heart, human heart

  Chu Qing had already guessed how it happened, and after his subordinates reported to him one by one, he knew that his guess was completely correct.

  That fifth prince is indeed a brainless person, being used by others without even realizing it, and he's delighted thinking he's made a great achievement. According to Chu Qingxiao's words, if the empress dowager hadn't supported him, he would have died several times without knowing how he died!

  That day, Wu Minghao got drunk at Linjiang Garden and was anxious to find Xiao Congrong. As long as someone hinted that Xiao Congrong was still in the capital, but was secretly hidden, his mind would naturally turn to the Crown Prince who persecuted the Xiao family into prison...

  This brainless Fifth Prince can't raid the Crown Prince's mansion, but he can lay an ambush and deploy his people around the mansion to look for any clues.

  He was so obsessed that he made a group of soldiers suffer in the freezing cold for two days, and even heaven couldn't bear to watch. As a result, they actually achieved something by guarding. They caught some servants from the Crown Prince's mansion secretly carrying out a corpse at midnight to bury it. The soldiers thought this was what they had been waiting for, so they rushed forward together, resulting in chaos.

  Just as the Metropolitan Governor's security officer, Guo Xiangyang, arrived with his men to quell the disturbance, they discovered that the corpse was actually Imperial Envoy Yin, who had been sent by the Emperor to investigate the case. His body was covered in marks from various torture instruments...

  Things have gotten out of hand, Guo Xiangyang didn't dare to hide it and reported it to the Emperor on the same day. The Emperor was furious and ordered Guo Xiangyang to lead troops to surround the Crown Prince's mansion, not allowing anyone to leave until a thorough investigation had been conducted...

  The tree fell and the monkeys scattered, the wall fell and the crowd pushed. It was on a morning when Chu Qingcang and Xiao Congrong were talking that this matter spread with unimaginable speed.

  The eldest prince disregarded the law, privately detained and beat to death the imperial envoy, framed loyal officials, eliminated dissidents, and embezzled silver from the national treasury to fill his own pockets... and so on. Various crimes were listed in a memorial and presented to the emperor.

  In the memorial of Xiaoyama, not only was there evidence of Guo's family embezzling national treasury silver, but also evidence that the Crown Prince had fabricated crimes to frame loyal officials. Emperor Wu II almost vomited blood and tearfully confessed to his ministers by his sickbed that he had been blind and foolish, mistakenly believing in the treacherous Crown Prince and doing stupid things that lost the hearts of the people and damaged the pillars of the state.

  A great mistake has already been made, and there is only a way to make up for it. Emperor Wu set up another imperial envoy to investigate how many loyal and good people were framed by the Crown Prince, and to give them justice one by one.

  The third prince, Wu Mingyuan, stepped forward with a painful expression and asked for the imperial edict. He said that when he was stabbed, he couldn't help his father emperor to solve the problem, now that he has recovered from his injuries, it's unreasonable to ignore this matter. He is willing to take on this task, investigate the mistakes committed by the eldest prince, even if it means being disloyal to his family, and give justice to the loyal and innocent people who died unjustly, representing the imperial family.

  Except for a few ministers who did not speak, the other officials all echoed that the third prince was steady in his work, hated evil, had deep strategies and considered the overall situation, and was indeed the best candidate for the imperial envoy. With the addition of the empress's whispers, the task of resolving the wrongful case fell into the hands of the third prince...

  Chu Qing smiled faintly, shaking his head at Gu Xing: "Pitiful, the Second Prince is indeed not as capable as others. This time, he's once again being used as a scapegoat for someone else!"

  Gong Yu's pale face forced a smile, his bloodless lips curled up in a sarcastic arc as he stated a fact in an extremely calm tone: "Can't blame anyone, who made him not have a mother to be an empress?"

  Chu Qingcang and Gu Jing exchanged a smile, two extremely intelligent people unanimously believed that the prince's position would be revealed next year, after years of fighting, it was time to have a result!

  Xiao Congrong understood what had happened in the imperial court and temporarily put aside her desire to leave and be free. In any case, clearing the Xiang family's name and restoring their reputation was the most important thing. The entire Xiang family had died unjustly, and as the only surviving member, she couldn't personally clear their names, which was already a source of shame for her. Now she could only wait for a result to come out, so that she could comfort the spirits of the deceased members of the Xiang family in heaven.

  She saw through the hypocrisy of the old emperor and the third prince just like Chu Qingyan did.

  Wu Erdi said that he was incompetent and had no way, but this clever old man, even on his sickbed, did not forget to calculate. Is Xiao Jia loyal or disloyal? He followed their family for two generations, adding up to nearly eighty years, more than half a century of time, can't he see clearly?

  After all, it's still a case of "the superior general overawes the ruler". Looking at these generals in the imperial court, how many are not from the Xiao family army? How many have not been personally instructed by General Xiao? How many have not fought side by side with Xiao Lidai?

  Xiao Jiajun's existence is a miracle, the prestige of the war god is placed there, just looking at this ordinary memorial for Xiao Jia this time, you can see what it means to have one call and hundreds respond!

  With such a danger existing, how can Emperor Wu be at peace in death? Lying on his sickbed, he is thinking not only about to whom the throne should be passed, but also about how to help the future emperor get rid of this greatest danger.

  In addition to the crime, it is also necessary to have a convincing argument that can convince all officials, otherwise who would be willing to sacrifice for the Wu family?

  The eldest prince began to purge the rebels, which is actually a signal. How could he not know that there are unjust cases? He turns a blind eye and allows the eldest prince to frame loyal officials in order to eliminate dissidents, just waiting for the Xiao family's "fall into the net"!

  It was expected that the Xiao family would not support the eldest prince, and with a strong army in hand, they were the biggest obstacle for the eldest prince to reach the imperial power. How could he rest assured if such a person was not eliminated?

  When Emperor Wu Di let the eldest son go to eliminate the rebellious party, he also gave up the eldest son as a candidate for the throne. Unfortunately, the eldest son had short-sighted vision and still thought it was a manifestation of trust and recognition of his ability!

  Can paper wrap up fire? Framing loyal and good people has caused panic among the people. All the officials see that the Xiao family, who were loyal to the Wu family, have ended up so tragically, who will still work hard for the Wu family?

  He who wins the hearts of the people will win the world. The eldest son has already lost the hearts of the people, how can he sit in the position of the crown prince and claim to be the most powerful?

  Poor... Although he is a prince of the imperial family, he is just a gunman, used to clear the way, destined to be sacrificed!

  With this clear, what happened next with Emperor Wu of Han was quite normal.

  The master of a country, Guo's family privately swallowed the national treasury silver, did he really know nothing about it?

  No, Wu Er's life was meticulous in calculation, how could he not know that a large sum of money had been lost? It's just that the tree is big and the roots are deep, intertwined, and moving one part will hurt not only the Guo family, but also possibly himself, so he waited, until he waited for an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone, or even several birds...

  Apart from the Xiao family, the Guo family was also pulled out, their military power was removed, and the salt roads that the Guo family had successfully operated were returned to the imperial court. What else could threaten the ascension of the next emperor?

  At this time, comforting the loyal and good is the most important thing! Pacifying the people's hearts is what all emperors are most happy to do, with a positive image that shines brightly. With just a little bit of kindness, one can buy people's hearts and make them work tirelessly for oneself - what joy is this not?!

  Everyone is dead, the threat is gone, and you are given a posthumous title of loyalty and martyrdom. It's just an empty name, but it doesn't hurt to have it, and you can still gain the praise of all the officials. Who wouldn't want such a good thing?

  Wu Mingyuan is too clever, he gets injured when catching assassins, and recuperates when framing the loyal and good, nothing has anything to do with him!

  Now it's time for Zhong Liang to clear his name and he is doing well, taking charge of everything personally, running back and forth to serve the country.

  Those who luckily survived the 'rebellion' cleared his name, and with gratitude, they all praised him, saying he was kind and generous, impartial and selfless, wise and powerful... They were so devoted to him that it seemed as if no one else had the talent and virtue to take on this important role!

  Wu Mingyuan's prestige rose sharply among the officials at that time, and he won over many people.

  People's hearts are made of flesh, let alone the simple and honest people in ancient times. There were many loyal and foolish people who, when they saw someone being framed, would feel a sense of sympathy and pity. When they saw that person being cleared of charges, they wouldn't think about how everyone had died for nothing, but instead would feel a tragic sense of relief, as if having been wrongly accused wasn't so bad after all since they hadn't died in vain.

  There have been many such examples in history, Xiao Congrong would not be appeased by the Wu family's small favors, the dead are dead, even if all the titles in the world were given to them, they cannot alleviate the harm brought to them by the heavenly prison!

  That test of humanity, spiritual torture is something that can't be repaid, what's a title worth? It's all just a hypocritical attitude the martial family uses to solidify their own power!

  If possible, what Xue Rongyuan wants is not a title, but for all the members of the Wu family to kneel in front of the tomb of the Xue family. For the humiliation of the Xue family, all the deceased are mourning in silence. Although this cannot bring back their lives, at least she feels that this is the real consolation, and it is a spiritual comfort that cannot be compared...

  But... it's just a thought after all!

  Since ancient times, emperors have fabricated countless false cases. It's already not bad that someone can clear your name for you; wanting them to kneel down is almost an impossible thing!

  So, Xiao Congrong would not have any gratitude towards Wu Mingyuan for clearing the name of the Xiao family. In her opinion, Wu Mingyuan was just pretending to be kind and using the opportunity to openly search for her. Whether the outcome was good or bad, she would rather pessimistically believe it was the latter...

  It's not her fault that she thinks this way with a petty mind, it's really the scene in Tianyu that gave her an unforgettable bad impression.

  A man who can be so cruel to a woman he once deeply loved, how can she expect him to have "benevolence"?
