This thing is weird.
At this time, Zhu Jingyuan looked ugly. Zhu Jingting died so suddenly, which made him realize that he should be involved in the conspiracy.
It is the prince, it must be the prince... Zhu Jingyuan directly came to the conclusion.
If you want to get out of the conspiracy, you must understand its full picture and then you can consider how to deal with it.
After a brief thought, Zhu Jingyuan regained consciousness and immediately ordered: "Go to Zhang Wanan immediately and ask him to investigate the cause of this matter!"
Zhang Wanan is the current deputy of Xicheng, Fusi, Beizhen Qian Hu has the same level as Chen Yuntai and Li Wenzhao. He relied on Zhu Jingyuan to get to the top.
"Yes!"
After giving this order, Zhu Jingyuan no longer thought about eating, so he got up and went to the east side hall, which was his study.
The sixth, the thirteenth, the old man... Zhu Jingyuan thought more.
It is not uncommon in the royal family for a father, son, and brother to be suspicious of each other to such an extent. It is just something that makes people sigh.
Chen Zhi followed him and analyzed it for a while, but still had no idea at all.
At this time, someone came from outside to report that two Zongzhengs were here.
The two people who serve as Zongzheng are the elders of the Xian generation, but their titles have been reduced to generals of the country, so they still have to bow to Zhu Jingyuan in person.
In the past, Zhu Jingyuan would have told them not to be polite in this situation, but this time he said nothing.
"Two uncles, what happened to Lao Shi4 today?"
The two sect leaders looked at each other, and one of them replied: "I respect the sixth master's instructions, The ministers have detained King Qingyang, the situation has been found out, and they are planning to..."
"My instructions?" Zhu Jingyuan became more and more surprised.
Then he looked at Chen Zhi who was aside. Apart from himself, Chen Zhi was the only one who could give orders in his name.
"Uncles, please don't talk nonsense. Why did we give you any instructions?" Chen Zhi said coldly.
These words also surprised the two Zongzhengs, and another person said: "It's a message passed down by an official in your mansion!"
Zhu Jingyuan then shouted out: "Pass it on, All the officials in the palace are waiting at the Chengyun Palace!"
After giving these instructions, Zhu Jingyuan asked more sternly: "How did you know that you are an internal official in Prince Rui's Palace? Have you ever verified your identity? "
This question gets to the key point. They did verify their identities, but they only checked their waistbands and didn't even look at their names carefully.
Zhu Jingyuan, who was the most vocal, sent someone to give orders, which immediately made the two of them want to fawn over, which directly blocked their due reason.
They didn't even think that if it was really an important errand, Zhu Jingyuan would definitely ask his trusted officials to come instead of just looking for someone to give the order.
So, when they heard this question at this time, the two elders of the Zhu family, who were about 60 years old, started to sweat on their backs.
"Look... I've seen the waist card!"
Hearing this, Zhu JingYuan became even more angry and scolded: "Is this how you usually do your errands?"
The two Zong Zhengs of the Xian generation were so frightened that they knelt on the ground, trembling like ants.
"Let Fourteen go first!" Zhu Jingyuan said coldly.
The first thing he had to do was to remove himself, so he thought of releasing the person first, but in fact it was already too late, and releasing the person now seemed to be a cover-up.
Since Zhu Jingting is dead, this matter cannot be concealed at all, and when the time comes, he and Lao Shi4 will not be able to hide it either, so this matter may be used... Zhu Jingyuan changed his mind. < /p>
Thinking of this, Zhu Jingyuan's idea of taking advantage of the fire became even stronger, and he was willing to jump even if the prince tricked him.
After all, after defeating Zhu Jinghong, it is not difficult for Zhu Jingyuan to deal with the soft-footed shrimp of the prince!
"Forget it, I won't get involved in this matter. Since you detained the old fourteenth, and now he has committed a life-threatening lawsuit, you can decide how to deal with it!"
Zhu Jingyuan I didn't plan to get involved, so I thought of doing the cutting directly, and then immediately went to the palace to explain to the emperor.
"Then... let the person go directly?" One of them, Zong Zheng, asked tentatively.
In his simple perception of interests, compared to the dead Zhu Jingting, Qingyang King Zhu Jingchun cannot be offended.
"It's up to you. I'm just letting the criminal go privately. I'm afraid the government and the public won't agree. You'll have to think it over yourself!"
In fact, at this point, it's no longer a matter of whether to let Zhu Jingchun go or not. Important, at least to Zhu Jingyuan.
On the contrary, the grievances between Zhu Jingchun and Zhu Jingting were only the "catalyst" that detonated public opinion.
Zhu Jingyuan's purpose was to spread the saying "contamination of military power to support the self-respect of the bandits" inside and outside the capital, so that the emperor would completely separate from Zhu Jinghong.
In this process, it would be even more perfect for Zhu Jingyuan if clues to Donggong's involvement could be found and the charge of stirring up trouble could be thrown back.
"I would like to report to the prince, all the officials in the palace, except for the thirty-seven people who have been dispatched, the other one hundred and ninety-eight people have arrived!" A steward of the palace came to report.
Although he knew that the identification would be fruitless, Zhu Jingyuan still said: "You two go and recruit the person who sent you the message!"
The two Zongzheng actually did not want to leave. , they wanted to say a few more words, but when Zhu Jingyuan looked over coldly, they could only lower their heads and comply.
After the two people left, Zhu Jingyuan stood up and said: "I want to see the old man!"
This matter could not be delayed. After Zhu Jingyuan gave the order, everyone in Prince Rui's Mansion He started to move, and a few minutes later he left the palace in a sedan.
When night fell, Prince Xiang’s Mansion also learned that Zhu Jingting was dead, and the seriousness of the situation suddenly escalated to a higher level.
"What should I do?"
In the study room of Yin'an Hall, Baochai was sitting in the guest seat and asked the question very seriously.
"This time the incident is directed at me. The person behind it will definitely try to make the matter bigger, but I didn't expect this person to be so vicious that he even took Zhu Jingting's life!"
Immediately afterwards, Zhu Jinghong changed the topic and said: "The person who said bad things about me is dead, and those bad words will be spread by others. This is really a wonderful move!"
Baochai Dian After nodding her head, she picked up the tea cup beside her and said slowly: "Perhaps they will also say that you ordered the Fourteenth to beat Zhu Jingting to death!"
"Yes!"
Seeing that Zhu Jinghong looked calm, Baochai put down the tea cup and asked, "Aren't you in a hurry?"
Zhu Jinghong smiled, and then said, "A few days ago, I would have been so anxious. ”
As he spoke, he stood up from behind the desk, then walked to Baochai’s side and sat on the chair beside him.
"But now, I am open-minded and naturally have no fear of all this!"
Seeing his confident look again, Baochai solemnly reminded him: "There will be no disaster. Because you are open-minded, you bypassed it yourself!"
"I know!" Zhu Jinghong smiled slightly.
"How will you deal with it next?" Baochai asked again.
Picking up the teacup that Baochai had used, Zhu Jinghong took a sip and said: "I have an open heart, so why do I have to deal with it? Naturally, I just do what I have to do. I will listen to music tomorrow and listen to a play the day after tomorrow. The day after tomorrow. Watch the dance..."
Sighing, Baochai said: "I hope you won't be wrong this time!"
"What did the Fourteenth say?"< /p>
"Although the old man is indifferent to the concubine prince, as long as he is not involved in seizing the heir or treason, he will not be punished too harshly no matter how serious he commits, not to mention that the fourteenth old man may be framed. ! ”
This is the advantage of the prince, even if the person killed is a member of his own race, he can still be taken lightly.
And this will not even affect the emperor's reputation, just because he has the greatest say in the world and can decide how to determine the matter.
"It's boring for your family to fight back and forth!" After sighing, Baochai stood up and walked away, leaving Zhu Jinghong alone in the room to meditate.
As for the Qianqing Palace, after waiting for half an hour, Zhu Jingyuan finally entered the palace.
Being able to enter the palace at night and see the emperor directly, the number of people in the world who have this qualification can be counted on one hand.
As he was about to go to sleep, Zhu Xianming had taken off his outer robe and was sitting on the couch wearing a moon-white tunic, holding a book in his hand and reading.
"My dear father, I bow to you!"
While paying homage, Zhu Jingyuan secretly raised his head and found that his father was reading a book from the Tang Dynasty, and there was a seal printed on the cover. The second volume.
The second volume is the Chronicle of Taizong. It seems that the so-called old man listened to the rumors... I thoughtHere, Zhu Jingyuan was extremely excited.
So now, he has become more and more clear about his mission tonight, which is to completely separate himself from today's changes.
He will definitely not do anything to add fuel to the flames!
Still looking at the book, Zhu Xianming asked slowly: "What happened if you came here so late?"
"Today, the fourteenth man and the general Zhu Jingting fought each other, and the fourteenth man has been killed. The Zongren Mansion detained him, and his son just received the news that Zhu Jingting was dead..."
Hearing this, Zhu Xianming put down the book and revealed his livid face.
He knew about the fight at noon. During this period, the Zongren Mansion strongly intervened to arrest people, which made him realize that the matter was not simple, so he asked someone to investigate secretly.
Even Zhu Xianming did not expect that Zhu Jingting would die suddenly!
He has already investigated the details of the fight between the Fourteenth and Zhu Jingting. The former only punched the latter a few times. Normally, no one should be killed.
So in Zhu Xianming’s opinion, Zhu Jingting is most likely to be silenced!
The current question is, who is behind the scenes?
And the answer is ready to come out. Anyway, among his three biological sons, the one who is most suspected is the one kneeling in front of him.
"Did you plan these things?"
Hearing his father's emotionless and clear-cut questioning, Zhu Jingyuan was frightened even though he had a strong psychological quality. Very frightened.
"Dad...this matter has nothing to do with my son. My son only found out about it when he returned home in the afternoon!"
As soon as Zhu Jingyuan finished speaking, he heard a "pop" sound. , but the emperor threw the book in anger.
"Really? Then the people from the He Zongren Mansion said that they detained the Fourteenth Old Man under your instructions!"
Zhu Jingyuan was extremely lucky at this time. Before he came, he After meeting the two Zongzhengs and understanding the situation, I will not be passive now.
Suppressing the fear in his heart, Zhu Jingyuan explained: "Dad, if my son really wanted to stir up trouble, he would never reveal such an obvious flaw!"
There is no point in defending directly. , so Zhu Jingyuan simply opened the skylight and spoke frankly, analyzing directly from the perspective of interests.
And his words actually have a second meaning, that is, he was framed.
Who can frame him?
Zhu Jinghong has been involved, but the prince is too clean, so...
Of course Zhu Xianming can think of what Zhu Jingyuan said, so he is also suspicious of the prince. To a greater extent than Zhu Jingyuan.
Seeing that his words had an effect, Zhu Jingyuan continued: "Dad, there must be someone behind this, you must investigate this matter strictly!"
"The matter of the honor of the minister" Xiao, but the honor and disgrace of the fourteenth brother must not be ignored!"
Although Zhu Jingyuan spoke righteously, in Zhu Xianming's eyes, the suspicion was only slightly weakened.
The emperor was still convinced,Even if Zhu Jingyuan was not the mastermind in this matter, he certainly played a disgraceful role in it.
The look on his face softened a little, and Zhu Xianming said slowly: "Then tell me... what's the mystery of this matter!"
This is actually a trap, and Zhu Jingyuan will certainly not fall for it if he is careful. I just heard him reply: "Dad, this matter is of great importance. My son dare not speak nonsense. Please investigate this matter strictly and give your son his innocence!"
His reply was not bad. After passing the test, Zhu Xianming didn’t ask any further questions.
He will definitely get to the bottom of this matter. Let’s not talk about how to deal with it in the end, but at least he will find out the truth.
Actually, this kind of thing has happened dozens of times in the past, but Zhu Xianming never dug into it. After all, the truth is sometimes too cruel.
However, in the past year or two, the fighting between his sons was at risk of getting out of control, so he could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb.
This man, Zhu Xianming, kept promoting Lao Liu. Now he suspected that Lao Liu was the one who got into trouble. As an emperor, he lived a very miserable life.
At the time of Zhu Jingyuan's audience, the prince of the East Palace also received the news that Zhu Jingting was dead.
Because he lives in the imperial city, the news flows slowly, and there is nothing he can do about the situation in the end.
Even if Zhu Jingyuan is not very shrewd, he can now realize that things are not simple, and it is likely to be another storm.
It's a pity that Xu Xinan left Beijing two days ago and returned to Jinling to work as a supervisory censor, leaving him without anyone who could advise him.
Of course, even if Xu Xinan was in Beijing, it would be very troublesome to enter the palace at night.
While Zhu Jingyuan was analyzing alone, Yuan Chun walked in from outside the study and reminded softly: "I just got the news that the sixth man has gone to the palace to meet the saint!"
Zhu Jingyuan raised his eyebrows At the beginning, he expressed his own point of view: "In my opinion, I am afraid that he is causing trouble again this time. Now that he is going to face the saint first, I am afraid that he wants to frame me!"
Sometimes, Things are so magical, even without any investigation, just relying on the analysis of interest involvement, you can get an almost correct answer.
"How should we respond?"
"We are not afraid of shadows. If he wants to frame us, it is not an easy matter!" Zhu Jingyuan said calmly.
His words have some truth, but they cannot convince Yuanchun.
"Your Highness, would a shrewd person like Lao Liu really directly instruct the clan to arrest people?" Yuan Chun expressed his doubts.
Zhu Jingyuan has also thought about this. He can only hope that Lao Liu is stupid or has lost his head.
"Do you think you will..."
Seeing Yuan Chun hesitate to speak, Zhu Jingyuan frowned and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it!"
"Could it be that his subordinates secretly planned these things in order to help him overthrow Lao Shisan!"
Hearing this, Zhu Jingyuan's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he felt something in his heart. Calculate.
"Yes, that must be the case!" Zhu Jingyuan StationGet up.
Whether this is the case or not, he can give in.
Seeing the prince's surprise, Yuan Chun's face became even more worried. She actually had more things to consider.
When Zhu Jinghong returned to Beijing from commanding operations in the northwest, a lot of rumors spread in the capital that day, and the situation even got out of control for a time.
Not only Prince Rui’s Mansion failed to control it
So this time, the supporters of Prince Rui’s Mansion and Donggong may lose control like last time.
Yuan Chun couldn't tell exactly what the situation was, but she was not as confident as the prince, and was sure that there was something wrong with Prince Rui's palace.
