230 The Holy Lord of the Ming Monarch (28)

That proof is an assassin, emphasize, alive!!

Ning Xiguang: Didn't you say that all the assassins were killed on the spot, and there was not a single one left alive, why did a live assassin suddenly pop up?

It turns out that only you can't think of it, and there is no Royal Guards commander who can't do it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

This lord didn't know when he hid a live assassin, tortured, coerced and enticed, and maybe even used the ten major tortures of the Great New Dynasty - the above existed in Ning Xiguang's imagination.

Fortunately, it turned out to be good, that is, to pry open the Assassin's mouth and get accurate information from him.

Then, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, who could "cut first and then play", sent someone to strictly seal off the courtyard of the Four Princes in Xishan, and personally went to open the study, from which he found several letters between the Four Princes and the Assassin Order.

Through the words on the letter, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army quickly understood that this assassination incident was no longer as simple as killing the king, because it involved collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country.

Because the organization to which these assassins belonged belonged to the Western Regions. Although most of these Assassins were newcomers, they were adopted and trained by the Assassin Order since childhood, and they were loyal to the Assassin Order.

And some important ministers of the Great New Dynasty hated that organization, because that organization aimed to hunt down the important ministers of the Great New Dynasty, Fu Jia, and every action would cause a lot of chaos to the Great New Dynasty, making the people uneasy and the court in turmoil, so it can be seen that the Great New Dynasty courtiers hated the Assassin organization.

And the four princes knowingly committed a crime, not only cooperated with such an organization, but even reached an agreement between the two sides, "Once the matter is completed, the four princes will send each other in the four cities of the northwest frontier as a reward." ”

Lying down, giving the land as a reward to the Assassins in order to achieve the goal of assassinating His Majesty, this matter is a big deal.

It is said that when the current emperor saw the evidence and listened to the report of the commander of the Imperial Guard, he vomited blood and fainted in anger before he heard it.

"What about the Four Princes?"

"The Four Princes have been circled. On the order of His Majesty, he sent the Shangshu of the Criminal Department and the general of the Protectorate to the capital in person, encircled the Four Princes' Mansion, and searched the rest of the available information. When their subordinates came, the two adults had already gathered their troops and horses and set off for the capital. ”

Speaking of which, Qinglin's rigid face also showed a visible smile, "Your Highness is in the limelight now......

Ning Xiguang felt that Qinglin's next sentence was about to say, "Your Highness's big things can be expected", she knew the truth that disaster came from her mouth, and she was worried that at such a sensitive moment, there was a secret pile buried by His Majesty in the house, and after listening to this, she learned it to Your Majesty, I was afraid that the big thing would not be good, so she hurriedly stopped Qinglin, and forcibly changed the topic and said, "How is the eldest prince now?"

Qinglin was stunned for a moment, and then slapped himself in annoyance.

Sure enough, he was too excited, lost his usual steady, and even lowered his vigilance, otherwise, in normal times, he would not have made such a low-level mistake anyway. It's really because of what happened today that it's so exciting, and it's also because this side concubine is deeply valued by His Royal Highness, and all the secrets in front of her don't need to be guarded, so he relaxes...... Fortunately, there was no saying that should not be said.

Qinglin's face immediately became solemn, and he said, "The eldest prince was accidentally stabbed in the kneecap during the assassination attempt some time ago, and was stepped on twice in a panic. ”

Ning Xiguang: I don't know what to say? Do you mean that the fourth prince should be really ruthless, or is it that he has bad luck and calculates everything, but the result is to make wedding clothes for others.

By now, Ning Xiguang had easily guessed all the plans of the four princes.

I'm afraid he wants to put the guilt of assassination on Fu Siyan and get rid of this biggest threat; As for the Great Prince, destroying his kneecap would cut off his hope of ascending to the throne, after all, the Great New Dynasty could not tolerate a disabled monarch.

As for why it wasn't to destroy the marshal's kneecaps and let the eldest prince carry the black cauldron of the assassin, Ning Xiguang felt that it must be because the marshal's force value was too high, and the four princes could not guarantee it 100%, and the assassins arranged had absolute certainty of harming the marshal, and it would be much easier to deal with the eldest prince in this way, after all, although he also had kung fu, it was only mediocre, and it was still easy to deal with him. Therefore, the marshal carried the assassin's pot and made the eldest prince disabled.

If the plan succeeds, the two princes who pose the greatest threat to him are kicked out, and he has a big chance of winning.

In addition, when the assassin assassinated at that time, he tried his best to protect His Majesty, and he did brush up on his favorability, and the courtiers had a good impression of him, and the possibility of supporting him on the throne was higher.

hacked the five princes, ruined the eldest prince, and the four princes profited.

In fact, he was considered a successful plan, but unfortunately, he was debunked halfway, leaving a good situation and making wedding clothes for others.

Because of the assassin incident, the emperor was bedridden, and the matter of leaving for Beijing could only be put on hold.

Ning Xiguang originally thought that at least he would not be able to return to Beijing before October, after all, the emperor's current state was really not very good, and the imperial doctor told him that he could not move easily now.

In this way, it is good to be able to return to Beijing in November.

However, to Ning Xiguang's surprise, three days later, when the marshal returned, he instructed her, "It's time to pack your luggage and leave for Beijing in two days." ”

"Ah, Your Majesty's body is all right?"

"Not yet. ”

Ning Xiguang nodded, and said with her experience in traditional Chinese medicine for a long time, "His current state is indeed not suitable for moving. He vomited blood not long ago, and was paralyzed in bed, and it is estimated that there should still be signs of stroke now, and the fatigue of traveling is too much burden on his body, and it is also very detrimental to his later recovery. ”

Fu Siyan said "um", and looked at her with deep eyes without speaking.

Ning Xiguang's mind flashed, her long eyelashes blinked a few times, she stood on tiptoe, leaned on Fu Siyan's ear and said, "Your Majesty ......?"

Everything was silent, and the two looked at each other, quickly reading each other's minds.

Ning Xiguang was relieved and relieved.

The situation is really bad today.

I'm afraid that he also realized this, so he had to go back to Beijing, even at the cost of burning his life, he had to go back to the Forbidden City.

After all, there is a big difference between an emperor dying in the Forbidden City and dying in the Xishan Courtyard.

Let's just say that in the history of the Great New Dynasty, no emperor has died outside, and today naturally does not want to set that precedent and become the only emperor who did not die in the Forbidden City.

Fu Siyan let out a very light "um", hugged Ning Xiguang tightly in his arms, and kissed her ear, "It's so smart." ”

"That's, not smart, how can I be worthy of you. ”

Because she was going back to Beijing, she had to be informed of some things, so Fu Siyan told her about the fate of the Ning family.

Ning Xiguang listened casually, "Oh, let's distribute it, I always have a life left, which is not bad." However, Mrs. Ning and Miss Ning should be angry. They originally planned to use me and the second lady to pave the way or exchange them for benefits, so that Lord Ning could be added to the rank and knighted, and give the eldest lady a better family. As a result, now the second lady and I are staying in the capital to enjoy happiness, but their family of three has no future. Tsk, I think Mrs. Ning and Miss Ning should vomit blood in anger. ”

"Hmm. ”

Ning Xiguang felt very happy, but he couldn't help but worry about the second miss. After all, the Ning family is their maiden family, she can not care about that maiden family, and Fu Siyan will not look down on her because her maiden family has lost power, but the second miss is different, she entered the household servant's mansion, she is the identity of the concubine, the identity cannot go up, and the mother's family is not strong, and she is still dragging her feet, can this life be better?

However, if the Tobe squire is a smart person, he should treat the second lady well for her sake.

This realization, I think the Tobe waiter still has it.

Therefore, Miss Er's life today should not be bad...... Right?

Fu Siyan listened to her question, and said: "If you really want to know, go back to Beijing and let someone check it." ”

"Okay. ”

In the blink of an eye, it was the day to return to Beijing, and the royal car walked for two days, but it was only a hundred and ten miles away. However, considering the emperor's body, no one dared to complain a word.

At this time, it was autumn, and it was very cold in the morning and evening. Wrapped in small jackets, people shivered from the cold, and it was particularly unfortunate that in the evening of the second day after they returned to Beijing, they encountered heavy rain again.

However, this time there was no post station for them to live in, and the group could only set up tents and carriages.

Ning Xiguang came to a small day, she was very tired, and the dampness of living in the tent was too heavy, so she chose to lie in the carriage to rest.

Half-asleep and half-awake, she felt someone get into the carriage, and after a loud sound, the position on her side sank, and a hot body pressed against it.

Her body seemed to have her own consciousness, and she immediately pasted it, and Ning Xiguang couldn't help but let out a comfortable sigh.

There was a hoarse laugh in his ears, and his chest seemed to be faintly agitating, Ning Xiguang touched his hand on her abdomen, and asked in a daze, "What's wrong, aren't you going to patrol the night?"

"Well, it's a shift change, come and rest. Do you have stomach pain?"

"It doesn't hurt. She grunted, "But it's not comfortable either." ”

Fu Siyan kissed her frowning brow distressedly, "Sleep, tomorrow will be fine." ”

Under the rain outside, this small world was quiet and warm, Ning Xiguang was surrounded by familiar body breath, and soon fell asleep again, and when he opened his eyes, it was dawn.

The residual warmth around him had long since disappeared and turned cold, and the marshal had already gotten up and left.

Xiangyi heard the movement and got into the carriage, and saw Ning Xiguang holding his stomach in one hand and yawning tiredly, so he personally took a hot cloth to wipe her face, and said, "Your Highness left after dawn, and I heard that he was summoned by His Majesty." ”

"Your Majesty summoned His Highness over?"

"Not really. Xiangyi looked a little worried, "Niangniang, you slept soundly last night, you may not know that on the third watch day yesterday, when you went to the capital to investigate the case of the assassination and betrayal of the four princes, the criminal department Shangshu and the general who protected the country came back in the rain overnight. ”

"Huh?" Ning Xiguang suddenly sobered up, "What else do you know, tell me carefully." ”

"The slave knows a limited amount, so let Sister Peiwu come over and explain to the mother, Sister Peiwu has seen those adults and generals come back with her own eyes, and I believe she will know more. ”

Pei Wu quickly came up and said, "When the slave got up last night and was about to come back to rest, she heard the sound of horses' hooves. The slave maid's eyes were good, and she saw the general of the protector and the Shangshu of the Criminal Department coming back in the rain, their faces were solemn, their chins were tight, and it seemed that something big was going to happen. ”

Ning Xiguang nodded, "Can you bring packages and other things?"

"With it. Pei Wu nodded affirmatively and said, "There is a large package sealed tightly in the arms of the Protector General, and there is also a palm-sized box in the arms of Lord Shangshu of the Criminal Department, similar to a box specially used to hold letters. ”

"Well, there's one more thing. ”

"Master, you say. ”

"Is His Highness the only one with His Majesty now, or are there still the rest?"

"The important ministers of the court are all there, including several princes who came to hunt with them, all of them have been summoned by His Majesty. ”

Ning Xiguang had a score in his heart, so he lay back and prepared to continue to rest. But then she noticed that something was not right there, so she asked Peiwu, "Is there a guard guarding outside?"

"Definitely. Soon after His Highness left, all the people who accompanied him to Xishan were confined by heavy soldiers. However, the Praetorian Guards did not make any big moves, but only surrounded everyone, but did not tie up anyone. Niangniang doesn't have to worry, after all, the queen mother and the concubines have also been circled, and it will be fine. ”

Ning Xiguang nodded, waved his hand and let a few girls go down, he didn't have any intention of having breakfast, he just ate a bird's nest Gu at random, and continued to lie on the couch to rest.

But after all, he was a little distracted, so that he didn't turn a page in his hand for a long time.

Ning Xiguang felt that according to today's big moves, maybe he would not be able to see the marshal until the evening, clinker, it was dark, and the marshal did not come back.

It was Qinglin, who suppressed a certain excitement, and came back to say, "Niangniang, Your Highness asked Niangniang to rest first, you don't have to wait for him tonight, Your Highness may not be able to come back tonight." ”

"What, what's going on with Your Majesty?"

"Yes and no. Qinglin stepped forward and explained vaguely and in a whisper, "The four princes have hidden dragon robes, and there are many letters in their hands to communicate with their comrades, the evidence of the crime is conclusive, and the court is going to be purged." ”

"Your Majesty ordered that all the remaining parties of the four princes be beheaded, and together with the four princes' mansions, everyone except the four princes and their children, as well as the concubines, will be beheaded. The four princes were still sent to guard the imperial mausoleum, and now they have been escorted to set off. As for the rest of the matters, they also need to be solved urgently, and His Highness has been entrusted with important tasks, and some of them have been busy these days. ”

Ning Xiguang nodded and asked Xiangyi to send Qinglin away.

It was at this time that I heard a muttering sentence in a low voice, "Your Majesty can't vomit blood, and after waking up from a coma, he will appoint His Royal Highness as the crown prince, and the holy decree has begun to be drafted." ”

This voice was too low, if it weren't for Ning Xiguang confirming that his ear and mental power were superior, he would never have heard it wrong, and he almost thought that he was hallucinating.

However, the prince, heh, her marshal is not in the mood to be a prince, if she wants to be the emperor, when she holds the power of life and death, is wise and decisive, and makes people fear and respect the holy lord of the Ming monarch, she wants to be famous for a hundred years and become an emperor through the ages.
