Chapter 184 (1/2)
Su Qing and Suzhou and Hangzhou were all nervous.
Under the shadow of the lamp, the blue veins of Si Tu Ming's forehead burst out, and his expression on his face was out of control. He bit his teeth and said, ”it's the guard! He's trying to stop the guards in the palace
”Guards?” Su Hang pondered: ”but it's about your own body. Your majesty has always attached great importance to it. All the people he trusted most were used in the forbidden army.”
”For so many years, the army in Northern Xinjiang was held by Princess Dingguo. Now he died suddenly, and under the premise that his father and the emperor suspected that he and the prince were plotting against each other, what would the father do under such circumstances?” Sima Ming said. Su Qing thought about it for a moment, and his heart was cold. ”The military is extraordinary. Even if Dingguo Gong is dead, your majesty is bound to doubt the military of Northern Xinjiang. He trusts Liang Xun most. Now that Liang Xun is in the army of Northern Xinjiang for a moment and a half, his majesty should not send him back. He should ask him to thoroughly investigate the military forces there.”
”But the assassins have just come into the palace!” Suzhou and Hangzhou also said, ”at this juncture, your Majesty must feel that it is because a Liang Xun who can control the guards is not here, so that this kind of trouble has happened.” Su Qing thought for a moment: ”even in this case, your majesty may not be willing to hand over the command of the Imperial Guard to King Zhao?”? His majesty has always been very careful in this respect. He knows clearly that now that King Zhao is in power, he will be the first one to compete with his Highness for the throne. In this case, for his own safety, he should not hand over the forbidden army to King Zhao. ”
”That's what it says...” ”But the death of Cong Ying and the assassination of his father and Emperor are so coincident that this is no accident!” he thought
It must have been made by situ yuan!
From the beginning to the end, he manipulated the cases of Prince and Dingguo. The purpose of this is not simple.
For a while, situ Ming couldn't figure out what to do. After thinking for a long time, he had to give up.
In the early morning of the next day, the emperor mentioned the death of Duke Cong Ying at the border, but Liang Xun searched his residence there and found no other evidence of his collusion with the crown prince.
The emperor was not sure how to deal with him, so he moved the matter to the early Dynasty. He took two important officials, situyuan and situ Ming, to the imperial study for discussion.
Although some powers and duties were handed over to him, he was probably used to being lax. Therefore, he spoke very little in the court and tried not to take the initiative to mix in anything.
Several old ministers held their own views. The emperor asked about it and finally looked at him and said, ”Lao Qi, Dingguo Gong is your uncle. In addition, the case of the prince is directly related to you. I want to hear your opinions on this matter.”
Situ yuan raised his head and took a look at him, ”this matter, the son minister originally thought that the father emperor would want the son minister to avoid suspicion!”
”Don't give me a bad look!” The emperor said, quite displeased. Just then, situ Yuan said, ”if the father emperor wants to ask his son's personal views on this matter, then the former crown prince and Dingguo Gong conspire to kill me. The son minister is not a saint. He can't repay good for evil. I hope that the father will investigate this matter and punish all the people involved in it. But now it's a special situation. Dingguo died in battle! Over the years, others have led the army in Northern Xinjiang and have high prestige in the military. If they are dead, they will die in the battlefield. Now it's a dead end, right? Based on the satirical letter, if his father ordered him to be investigated, the children's ministers were afraid that there would be unrest in the army. In addition, there has been a lot of war in that place. In case of any accident, the father and the emperor will be far away from the imperial capital, and it will not be a good thing in short. ”
”What do you mean, then, is not to pursue it wantonly?” Asked the emperor. Before situyuan spoke, a senior Jiang Ge old man said indignantly: ”the state-owned national law, family rules, dingguogong is also an old qualification in the imperial court. After so many years as an official, he did not want to repay the emperor's kindness, but he actually joined hands with the crown prince to seek power. He also used a fantastic poison scheme to poison the king's son. In this way, a heartless man should not indulge himself, but must tear him down Come on, get all the blame. Even if he leads the army in Northern Xinjiang, it's your Majesty's army. If there are people in his army who are dissatisfied with his majesty because of this, it will be even more obvious that in recent years, relying on the convenience of the emperor far away from the mountains, he has been plotting mischief and has not paid attention to the emperor. ”
This is not good for the veteran ministers -
pedantic! There is only one muscle in my head. I don't know how to turn around.
”Mr. Jiang Ge, you are a man of great learning and great talents. You always pay attention to a reasonable word in everything. However, many of the reckless men in the army are ignorant of big characters and have not been educated by sages. You and I understand some principles, but they may not be able to reason with you.” The right prime minister said. The emperor was very upset when he saw that he was going to talk about his truth again and again. He said quickly: ”the war in Northern Xinjiang has been repeated all the time. I also feel that we can't make extra things out of the ordinary. However, the actions of the deposed Prince and Cong Ying are really infuriating. Now that Lao Qi is deeply aware of the great righteousness, I feel quite at ease now. Liang Xun is still reliable in his work Yes, he happened to be over there at the moment. I will issue a secret order to let him stay for a while and make a secret investigation to eliminate Cong Ying's followers. As for the Cong family... ” The emperor said, after a meal, he looked at situ yuan again: ”there is nothing important about Cong family here in the capital city. Cong Ying's two sons are in the army of Northern Xinjiang. I will order Liang Xun to remove their military posts. As for the final disposal, we will wait for the later verification to see how they treat the prince and Cong YingHow much do you know about it? ”
There was a deep feeling between situ yuan and his late wife. The emperor could understand more or less. He thought that he didn't want Cong to be cut off.
”It's up to the father to decide everything!” As expected, situ yuan did not raise any objection.
”Well...” The emperor slowly breathed out a breath. As soon as he was about to say goodbye, he saw an internal servant who didn't have any communication. He ran in flustered and said, ”your majesty! Not good Not good
Situ Ming did not say a word, but he knew what would happen.
”What's the matter? Do you have any rules to make such a fuss?” Duke Liu stepped forward and rebuked him.
The Chamberlain, however, had a pale face and shook his lips and said, ”Your Majesty, the news just came from the east palace that the Yamen people found out when they went to escort the deposed Prince early in the morning He was found hanging himself in the east palace
The emperor had already got up to half of the time. After listening to this, his body was shaking uncontrollably. His hands were on the table, and there was no response for half a day.
He lowered his head, and at this moment, he couldn't tell what kind of mood he was feeling. To be fair, although his son's behavior was dissatisfied with many times, he did not directly threaten him. Even the assassin incident of the previous two days, he knew that the eastern palace was tightly sealed during this period. Although both of them were related to the prince's party members, they were definitely not a secretary r>
it was sent by Tu Chen.
