At dawn, the two desperate letters proving that Fang Dunru and Yan Zhengsu committed suicide were sent into the palace by Wu Chunlai. Wu Chunlai's original intention was to eliminate the emperor's suspicion that Fang Dunru and Yan Zhengsu committed suicide, and came to sue Lin Jue, because Lin Jue broke in and took away the bodies of Yan Fang and the others, which had to make the emperor ask him about his crime. But Wu Chunlai's wishful thinking failed.

The emperor actually cried after reading the book of despair, and the emperor sat there in tears, which made Wu Chunlai have an ominous premonition. Sure enough, after Guo Chong wiped away his tears, he scolded Wu Chunlai sharply: "Wu Chunlai, everyone is dead, and people's families go to get the corpses, how can you not allow it?" Still running to complain, is your heart still fleshy? ”

Wu Chunlai muttered in a low voice, "But...... They broke in by force, then Lin Jue, wasn't he expelled from the division by Fang Dunru? It doesn't matter anymore, what kind of family are they? ”

Guo Chong angrily reprimanded: "Lin Jue is affectionate and righteous, he is a teacher for one day and a father for life, what is his fault in going to collect the corpse?" Do you think they all look like you? That Fang Dunru was also your teacher, how did you do it? ”

Wu Chunlai's face was pale and speechless. The emperor actually uncovered his scars, it turned out that the emperor actually thought so in his heart. Wu Chunlai was both ashamed and angry.

Guo Chong also realized that his words were heavier, and the death of Yan Fang and the others made him a little unable to control his emotions, so he said these words. After calming down his emotions, Guo Chong waved his hand and said: "I don't blame you, I mean, people die greatly, grievances are over, what do you have to do if you hold on to it?" You retreat, I can't go to the court this morning, I want to go to worship Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru, no matter what, they are also my courtiers of Da Zhou, and they have worked hard for Da Zhou. The people have gone, and I should go and worship. ”

……

After Fang Dunru and Yan Zhengsu's obituaries were issued, there was an endless stream of people who came to mourn. Lin Jue thanked him as a disciple and his family. When people die, many grievances have indeed been resolved, and Yan Fang and the others are usually square, although they have offended many people, but they have also made many people admire. Officials from the DPRK and China came in an endless stream to express their condolences.

Many officials who were very vocal in opposition to the DPRK and China at the beginning, and who were very noisy, cried very badly when they came to offer condolences. I can see that some of them are genuinely hurting. The Great Zhou Dynasty ruled the world with literature, and there were still many reasonable people in the scholar class. They know that differences in political views should be separated from character, and political opinions can be attacked, but they still admire the character and reputation of Yan Fang and the others. The death of Yan Fang and the others is not a kind of sorrow that has lost the pillars of the imperial court and the leaders of the literary world.

Half of the people from the Ordinance Department have come, and there are also many people who are thieves and have a weak heart, and they have been framed before, but now they dare not face it. To Lin Jue's surprise, Lu Zhongtian, Yang Jun and Wu Chunlai all came, it stands to reason that they will not come, and Lin Jue Kejue will not think that they are sad for Yan Fang's death. They should celebrate each other. When they came, it was more like making a gesture for outsiders to see. Of course, Lin Jue would not be rude on such an occasion, and in the face of everyone's mourning, he bowed and was meticulous.

It wasn't until the end of the day that there was a decree in the palace, saying that the emperor Guo Chong was going to come to worship in person, that Lin Jue really understood why Lu Zhongtian, Yang Jun and Wu Chunlai would come, they must have known that the emperor was going to come to worship, so they chose to come to mourn. The emperor is here, but if they don't come, they will seem to be inconsistent with the emperor, and they will seem to be petty, but they will be disliked by the emperor.

Halfway through the hour, the Holy Ride came. The vestibule of the Lin family was full of kneeling people. Guo Chong was dressed in black, with tears flowing from the corners of his eyes, and walked quickly to Fang Dunru's spirit, bowed for a long time.

No one knew what the emperor was thinking at the moment, but everyone was moved by the emperor's actions. can get the glory of the emperor coming to mourn in person, Fang Dunru should also be blind. How many people in this world can be treated with such respect? Moreover, up to this moment, Fang Dunru and Yan Zhengsu are actually still criminals, and rumors are still circulating outside that they committed suicide in fear of crime.

"Your Majesty, take care." Qian Delu was worried that the emperor would be in office for a long time and was overly sad, so he reminded him.

Guo Chong wiped away his tears, nodded and turned around, walked to Master Fang, Fang Huanqiu and Lin Jue, and said in a dumb voice: "I am very sad, I have lost a good minister, you have lost a relative, and the grief is the same at this time. Be ye mournful and changeable. ”

Although Mrs. Fang and Fang Huanqiu were resentful in their hearts, they couldn't say anything at the moment, only thanked them with tears and bowed their heads.

Guo Chong walked up to Lin Jue, pointed to the elegiac couplet that 'has not fulfilled his life's ambition all year round, and his last words are only for future generations': "Is this elegiac couplet written by you?" ”

Lin Jue nodded and said, "It's me." ”

Guo Chong nodded and said: "You still know Fang Aiqing, Lin Jue, you are very good, affectionate and righteous, and you can be a model." Fang Aiqing Jiuquan will be pleased with this, and will not complain to you again. ”

Lin Jue said: "Your Majesty, I am loved by my teacher, and my minister has been re-integrated into the door wall by my teacher, and my teacher has forgiven me a long time ago." That's why last night the minister went to bring the teacher home. The minister is a disciple of the teacher, and the teacher also marries the sister to me, and I am both a student and a half-son, which is reasonable. ”

Guo Chong was stunned for a moment, nodded again and again, and said, "Okay, good, this is a good thing." Fang Aiqing didn't have any worries when she left, and arranged the future. No wonder he went this way. Hey, Fang Aiqing, you are determined to do this for the sake of your own name, why don't you think about it for me? If you go, will I become the one who killed you? How can I deal with myself? What can I do for you? ”

Lin Jue said softly: "Don't think too much about it, Mr. is a strong person, and he doesn't think much about acting." He is not targeting the emperor. If the emperor wants to do something for Mr., then Weichen has a request. ”

Guo Chong hurriedly said: "You say, what request." ”

Lin Jue said: "The minister implores the emperor to forgive the sins of the teacher and Lord Yan, the person is deceased, and he does not look at the merit and hard work, can he restore the reputation of the two adults and let them look at the nine springs." What the two adults care about most is actually being attacked and framed, and being splashed with dirty water. Can the emperor rehabilitate them? ”

Guo Chong nodded again and again: "Exactly, exactly, I actually forgot about it." How can you not rehabilitate them? I didn't want to blame them in the first place. The people are gone, so why do you care about all this? ”

Guo Chong walked quickly to the door of the hall and said loudly to the people in the courtyard and inside and outside the mourning hall: "Fang Aiqing and Yan Aiqing have been loyal to the country all their lives and have done their best. Although there are mistakes, the flaws are not hidden. Now that the Si people have driven to the west, how can they bear the stigma again? The decree was to pardon all his crimes from now on, and posthumously confer the title of Duke Wenzheng of Fang Dunru and posthumously confer the title of Taifu. Posthumously awarded the title of Duke of Yanzheng Su Wenzhong, and posthumously awarded the post of Grand Master. No one is allowed to slander their names thereafter. The funeral of the two adults was handled by the imperial court, and Lin Jue presided over the matter, which must be grand. ”

Everyone was surprised and relieved, surprised that in the emperor's mind, the two adults Yan Fang were so important, just look at the posthumously awarded titles and official positions

One or two. Happily, all the stigma carried by the two adults was cleared, and they were finally innocent and glorious.

……

On the third day of the halt, the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month was mourned. He was buried in the cemetery of the Yan family's ancestors. Fang Dunru himself is not from the capital, his hometown is far away from the capital, and it stands to reason that he wants to return to his roots, but Lin Jue and Mrs. Fang decided to find a cemetery in the capital to bury. It's not that I'm afraid of cumbersomeness, but Fang Dunru's old family is withered, and no one takes care of the grave when buried in his hometown, and no one even goes to sweep the tomb and burn paper money during the New Year's holidays, so it's better to be buried near the capital, which is easy to take care of.

In addition, Lin Jue had another idea in his heart, he wanted his husband to be buried in the capital, so that he could watch himself avenge him and watch the fate of those who persecuted him. Of course, this idea is not for outsiders, and no one knows Lin Jue's intentions.

There is a hillside in the green valley of the west mountain, facing the sun and leaning against the mountain, and there is a mountain stream in front of it, which is a good place. Lin Jue bought it at a large price and built a tomb. On the morning of the 26th, the coffins of Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru were mourned at the same time, and when they passed the Bianhe Bridge, the coffins of the two met each other. The two spiritual confidants met here for the last time, and then went their separate ways, one went to the ancestral grave of the Yan family in Dongcheng to be buried, and the other went to the slope of Cuigu Mountain in Xicheng to be buried. Since then, one east and one west have guarded Bianliang City.

After the funeral, Lin Jue slept until dark, and after waking up, he went into the study and stayed until dawn. No one knows what he's thinking, no one knows what he's doing. The wives and concubines only saw that the light was on until morning, and the window showed Lin Jue sitting on a chair and writing a book. Bai Bing wanted to take a look several times, but was stopped by Green Dance and the little county lord. Lin Jue obviously didn't want people to disturb him, so it was better to let him do his own thing at the moment.

On the morning of the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, Lin Jue went out and told his wives and concubines that he was going to the court. Everyone was surprised, the annual leave had begun, and there was no early dynasty for a long time, where did he go to the early dynasty?

However, not long after, the bell in the palace roared, and the emperor really went to court. The civil and military officials were also puzzled, and after getting the news, they hurried to the court. After arriving, they inquired with each other, and found out that this early dynasty was an early dynasty temporarily convened by the emperor, and it is said that the emperor decided to temporarily convene an early dynasty according to Lin Jue's request.

Lin Jue did not ask Guo Chong for the power of the early dynasty, and he did not have such a big face. But maybe it was to take care of Lin Jue's emotions, or maybe he was moved by what Lin Jue said about an important matter to report to the emperor in front of the ministers. Or maybe it was because Lin Jue saved his life, so he gave Lin Jue some face. In short, no matter what the reason was, Guo Chong agreed to Lin Jue's request. So he struck the bell and ordered the chamberlains and guards to inform the hundred officials to come to the court.

The officials had already begun to indulge themselves because of the annual leave, and this call scared them enough, and some of them were still lazily lying on the bed and sleeping with their concubines in their arms, and immediately dressed and rushed into the palace when they got the news. Many people who do not know the details still think that something major has happened in the DPRK and China, and that war or chaos has broken out. One by one, the soul is not giving up.

Many civil and military officials came, but more than 30 did not attend. Some of them left Beijing after taking annual leave. Some of them had a hangover last night and couldn't attend at all. This situation is not to blame. After the duty officer reported to him, Guo Chong didn't care.

Lin Jue didn't care about the absence of those who didn't matter, he just needed the people he wanted to see to attend the court. When Lu Zhongtian, Wu Chunlai, Yang Jun and others rushed in, Lin Jue no longer cared about anyone's absence.
