Because the matter was so important, Queen Han Yan, Imperial Concubine Zhao Fujin, Imperial Concubine Murong Wan'er, Imperial Concubine Pan Jinlian, and Xian Fei Hua Rui all gathered here.
The girls all learned a rough outline of the cause and effect from Zhao Yupan's mouth.
Hua Tong, a member of the Hua family, relied on the power of the Hua family to act arbitrarily in the army. The consort Zeng Wei's status in the army became increasingly humble. An accidental conflict led to the tragic death of Zeng Wei.
As for Zeng Wei's corpse being hung in the Song Dynasty ancestral temple, it was obviously done deliberately by someone behind the scenes in order to stir up trouble.
The target was obviously not the Zeng family, but the Hua family.
But no matter what, Zeng Wei died at the hands of the Hua family.
This is an ironclad fact.
The flower core was lost in its heart.
She didn't expect such a thing to happen.
She couldn't help complaining about her brother, why did he bring such evil obstacles into the army?
Zeng Wei's death was related to the dignity of the former Song Dynasty clan, and also related to the reputation of Zhao Fujin, the imperial concubine.
Looking at Zhao Yupan who was lying on the couch and already asleep, Hua Rui sighed quietly in her heart, suddenly lifted up her skirt and knelt in front of Zhao Fujin.
"Sister Fujin, my Hua family has committed such a serious crime. My brother and I are guilty of unpardonable crimes. Please forgive me, sister!"
Zhao Fujin was startled and quickly got up to hide.
She is not a stupid person, of course she understands that there must be someone behind this matter, and even if the perpetrator is a member of the Hua family, it essentially has nothing to do with Hua Rui. As for Hua Rong, it is at best a crime of negligence.
Moreover, one of the most direct consequences of this incident is that there will be a rift between her and Hua Rui.
Han Yan glanced at Huarui approvingly.
At critical moments, the pistil can take the initiative to lower its posture. This is a solution to the problem.
Zhao Fujin sighed repeatedly: "Sister, are you trying to hurt me? The perpetrator is someone else, what does it have to do with my sister?"
The ladies also came up to persuade him.
Hua Rui then stood up and expressed her displeasure to Zhao Fujin again.
At this time, news had actually been passed on that Hua Rong personally arrested the perpetrators, Hua Tong and others, and went to Zeng's house to kneel down and apologize.
Especially when the imperial commander knelt down to apologize for the sins of his clan, this was considered a very firm compensation for Zhao Fujin's face.
Not to mention Zhao Fujin, even Zhao Yupan who woke up later felt a little moved in his heart and felt a little grateful.
At this time, Wang Lin walked in slowly.
…
Han Yan took the girls away.
Zhao Fujin, Wang Lin and Zhao Yupan were the only ones left in the room.
Wang Lin looked at Zhao Yupan who was being comforted by Zhao Fujin, and said softly: "Sister Jiade, we are not outsiders. You and Prince Consort Zeng have always been on good terms with me. You should know my attitude."
At this time, Zhao Yupan calmed down, ate some food, and received Wang Lin's promise that he would severely punish the murderer and compensate her and Zeng Wei, and her condition improved greatly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. I am deeply grateful." Zhao Yupan said.
Wang Lin said again: "When something happened to Consort Zeng, why didn't Sister Jiade come to see Fu Jin and me?"
Zhao Yupan was stunned and his expression became silent.
She is also from a royal family, the eldest princess of the Song Dynasty, so she is naturally not a political idiot.
Because of Zeng Wei's death and the fact that Zeng Wei's body was hung in the Song ancestral temple, she thought that the former Song Dynasty clan had been humiliated, so she was furious and killed Deng Wengu. She wanted to make things worse and severely punish the Hua family. At this time, she slightly
When you think about it, you realize that you are being deceived.
Wang Lin looked deeply at Zhao Yupan, who was exhausted both mentally and physically.
Zhao Yupan remained silent.
Zhao Fujin also raised his head and looked at Wang Lin. When their eyes met, they both understood this... I was afraid that it was related to their brothers and sisters.
Wang Lin said directly: "Sister Jiade, there are no outsiders here. Tell me directly, who encouraged you to go to Faden and Wengu?"
Zhao Yupan lowered his head.
Wang Lin sighed: "If I guessed correctly, that person should be Zhao Yan, right?"
Zhao Yupan was suddenly startled, looked up at Wang Lin, and said sadly: "Please show mercy to your majesty. The eighth brother was also in a hurry, so he told the slave that the Hua family had gone too far. Not only did they beat Zeng Wei to death, but they also deliberately ordered people to kill Zeng Wei.
The corpse was hung in the Song ancestral temple in order to humiliate me, the Zhao Song royal family. I lost my head for a while and went to attack and hear drums. In fact, these have nothing to do with my eighth brother..."
Zhao Yupan struggled to get up and kneel down to worship Wang Lin, but was held captive by Zhao Fujin and unable to move.
Wang Lin smiled: "Don't worry, the perpetrator Hua Tong has been sent to Jinyiweizhao Prison. I will definitely punish him and bring justice to Zeng Wei.
But this matter cannot stop there. I must find out who is fanning the flames behind the scenes, or even plotting evil intentions. I conclude that the manipulator behind the scenes will definitely not be Zhao Yan, and I will thoroughly investigate to the end.
Don't worry, even if it turns out that the culprit is Zhao Xi, for your sake, I won't kill him. Don't worry, Zhao Xi doesn't have such great energy. He is a teenage boy, behind closed doors in the palace.
If I can still do this while studying under the supervision of Jin Yiwei, it only means that I am too incompetent."
In order to eliminate Zhao Fujin and Zhao Yupan's worries, Wang Lin simply made the matter clear.
The former prince was basically under the surveillance of Jin Yiwei.
Even if you have the intention to do something serious, you are powerless.
Zhao Fujin and Zhao Yupan were relieved.
They were really worried that Wang Lin would kill all the Zhao and Song royal family in a rage.
Wang Lin knew that if this matter was to be settled as soon as possible, the key point lay with Zhao Yupan and the Zhao Song royal family.
He mused and said: "Sister Jiade, I will deal with all those who commit murder, including those who insult Zeng's consort, I will kill Hua Tong and sacrifice his blood to Zeng's consort."
In addition, I will posthumously make Zeng Wei the Duke of the country, hold a funeral ceremony, and order Hua Rong to lead the generals in the capital to pay homage.
My sister is now a widow, so she should live here with Fujin. Shuang'er, I want to adopt her as my adopted daughter with Fujin and canonize her as Princess Ningde. She will be raised by my sister and Fujin together. I will personally send her off to marry.
A good home for her."
Zhao Yupan was filled with surprises.
Whether he bestowed Zeng Wei a title, killed Huatong, or ordered Hua Rong to preside over Zeng Wei's funeral, these were all courtesies given to the Zeng family by Wang Lin in order to calm down the trouble.
The three-year-old Zeng Shuang, her and Zeng Wei's daughter, was adopted as an adopted daughter and canonized as a princess. This was just to compensate her.
You should know that at present, Wang Lin's biological daughter and son have not yet been canonized. There is only one prince, Wang Han, and the imperial edict has not yet been issued.
It guaranteed her and her daughter's life of prosperity and wealth.
Of course, this is also for Zhao Fujin's face.
Zhao Yupan burst into tears of joy and sorrow, and forced himself to bow down and thank him.
Zhao Fujin also bowed down and thanked him. She knew that the emperor's move was not only to appease her and her sister Zhao Yupan, but also for the Huarong brothers and sisters.
He doesn't want to cause any rift with his woman.
But there are some things that can only be done, not said.
Zhao Fujin said softly: "Your Majesty, I and my sister are not stupid people. I know that this matter has nothing to do with Captain Hua, and it has nothing to do with Sister Huarui."
Zhao Yupan also kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, as long as the murderer is brought to justice, I will have no complaints at all."
Wang Lin bent down to help the two girls up, and then comforted Zhao Yupan with a few soft words.
