This is equivalent to detaining Lin Zicheng in the palace, but in order to look good, even Zhang Boyuan and the Marquis of Zhongyi were left behind, which can also be said to be spying on him.
Lin Shizi knew it in his heart, but he made an uneasy look on his face, found Zhang Shizi, and muttered, "How can you leave us in the palace well?"
Zhang Boyuan said indifferently: "The power of heaven is unpredictable. β
As if to warn him.
Lin Shizi said: "I feel very uneasy. Hengzhu has eaten and will go to the front for a while, how about we talk about a game first?"
Zhang Boyuan said: "Accompany!"
Both of them sat down and played chess, but they thought about it in their hearts.
Lin Zicheng seemed to have a mirror in his heart.
Zhang Boyuan was suspicious of the emperor, believing that even if the death of the six princes was not committed by Emperor Jing Kang, it was inseparable from Emperor Jing Kang. The emperor was worried that he would find out the truth, and he was even more worried that the Xuanwu Palace's palace would turn against him after he learned the truth, so he detained him.
It is taboo for monarchs and ministers to be suspicious of each other!
Emperor Jing Kang retreated to the imperial study, breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly thought that Lin Shizi entered the palace alone, and was detained here, could he still go to the sky?
As for Zhang Boyuan, Emperor Jing Kang is also on guard against him, because there are various indications that Zhang Boyuan has been secretly investigating the cause of death of the sixth prince of the first emperor.
This is nothing, but after the death of the sixth prince, Emperor Jing Kang became the biggest beneficiary, and the Xuanwu Palace suspected that it was inevitable that he would kill his brother and seize the throne.
Even if the mastermind behind this rebellion was the White Tiger King, Emperor Jing Kang was worried that King Xuanwu and his son would take the opportunity to make trouble, and King Xuanwu sent his nephew Zhang Bochang to lead the army to force the pass of the capital, which was the biggest hidden danger in his heart.
Jing Kangdi is particularly insecure now.
The detention of Zhang Boyuan is a temptation.
Just thinking about it, Wu Guiren sent someone to invite him to Yongfu Palace for dinner, saying that the fourth prince had just woken up. He rejoiced when he heard this, and he wanted to see his son. Before his body moved, he suddenly remembered what Zhongyi Hou said last night, changed his mind again, and said to the visitor: "Tell Wu Guiren that I can't pull away tonight, so let's go another day." β
The people who came didn't dare to ask more, so they hurriedly retired.
Wu Guiren wondered after listening to the reply, I don't know why the emperor has been so busy recently, and he hasn't come to see the four princes for a few days, which is very unusual.
She asked, "Is the emperor resting in the imperial study again?"
The person who came hurriedly stepped forward and said in a low voice: "The slave maid paid attention to inquire, and the slave maid just walked for a while, and the emperor drove to Shoukang Palace." β
Wu Guiren was even more puzzled, why did he suddenly go to Shoukang Palace?
The east hall of Shoukang Palace is inhabited by the imperial concubine Jingyi. Emperor Jingyi's concubine was very favored because she gave birth to King Cheng (that is, the six princes of the first emperor), but unfortunately the six princes died young. Emperor Jing Kang was friendly with the six princes when he was young, and often went with him to the Zhaoyang Palace of Emperor Zhang's concubine to greet him. Emperor Jingkang's biological mother had a low position and went early, and Emperor Zhang took good care of him, and he also respected and admired the imperial concubine.
After the first emperor left, Emperor Jing Kang ascended the throne, promoted Emperor Zhang to the concubine of Emperor Jingyi, and asked her to move into Shoukang Palace. Because there was no queen mother above, he asked Emperor Jingyi to live in the main hall of Shoukang Palace, but Emperor Jingyi refused to live in the east hall.
Emperor Jing Kang used to go to Shoukang Palace to ask for peace, but recently he was busy with government affairs, so he went less, so Wu Guiren was very surprised when he heard that he went to Shoukang Palace.
Wu Guiren hugged the four princes tightly, pouted secretly, and thought: "No matter how beautiful she was back then, now she is just a childless woman." It's better to be your own son, no matter how good someone else's is, it's not biological, after all, it's a layer apart. β
No wonder Wu Guiren has this idea, Emperor Jing Kangdi looked at the concubine Jingyi who came out of the small Buddha hall, wearing very ordinary clothes, twisting Buddha beads in her hands, washing her body of elegance, looking detached from the red dust, and she also felt very guilty.
He said: "I haven't come to see the imperial concubine for a long time. β
Emperor Jingyi smiled, smiled quietly, and said: "The emperor has a lot of opportunities, why should he be obsessed with these vulgar rites? Besides, the queen often comes." β
Emperor Jing Kangdi was very grateful to the queen at this moment, which made him feel better, but he still felt guilty in his heart. He thought, if it was his own mother who lived here, would he forget that he hadn't come to say hello for so long?
I'm afraid not.
Definitely not!
Remembering that the purpose of coming here tonight was to investigate the cause of the death of the Six Emperor Brothers, he was even more uncomfortable that he did not fulfill the responsibility of the Son of Man for the Six Emperor Brothers.
Because the emperor came in quietly and no one was allowed to report it, the imperial concubine Jingyi didn't have time to change her clothes, and at this time she had to go in to change into official court clothes.
Emperor Jing Kang hurriedly stopped her, took her arm, sent her to sit down by the kang, and said, "I came to see the imperial concubine and talk about common things, so I don't have to be attached to the courtesy of the monarch and minister." β
Seeing this, the imperial concubine of Jingyi did not force it.
Jing Kandi also sat opposite her.
The palace grandmother served tea fruit snacks and so on.
Maybe it was to calm the guilt in his heart, or maybe it was to pour out his boredom, Emperor Jing Kang couldn't help but tell the imperial concubine Jingyi about the rebellion, and he was annoyed because of it, so he ignored the imperial concubine and asked the imperial concubine to forgive him, but he didn't say that it was the White Tiger King. He also said: "If it is the Sixth Emperor Brother, it must be better than me." β
He didn't say flattery.
He sometimes thought: If the Sixth Emperor Brothers ascended the throne, would it be the destiny of heaven, and no one would rebel? Even if someone rebelled, the Six Emperor Brothers would certainly be able to deal with it with ease, unlike him who was at a loss and trembling with anger.
Emperor Jingyi's concubine looked solemn, and her eyes were also full of love and comfort when she looked at Emperor Jing Kang, and said: "The emperor is ordered by heaven, and these things are inevitable. Among the previous emperors, many of them have experienced rebellions, which is not an opportunity for the emperor, and it is not enough to become a great weapon, just look at Emperor Yingwu.
"The Emperor has done a good job.
"King Cheng's accession to the throne may not be better than the emperor's. His temperament is too straightforward, and although he is strong and enterprising, he is not as gentle, humble, and tolerant as the emperor. If he fights the country, he is stronger than the emperor, but the emperor is stronger than him when he guards the country. β
Emperor Jing Kangdi listened to Emperor Jingyi's gentle voice, commented very pertinently on the characteristics of him and the six emperor brothers, affirmed his strengths, felt a lot more stable, and was very grateful, and Emperor Jingyi Concubine was really appeased to him.
He said: "Speaking of the six emperor brothers, I want to ask the imperial concubine to carefully recall the events of the year, and I commissioned Wang Shilang of the Criminal Department to investigate the inside story of the accident of the six emperor brothers...... "He told Wang Heng about the cause of King Cheng's death.
Emperor Jingyi's concubine was stunned, her hand twisting the Buddha beads clenched the Buddha beads, her joints turned white, and she asked uncertainly: "The emperor really wants to investigate this matter?"
Emperor Jing Kang nodded and said seriously: "My father investigated it back then, but unfortunately he didn't find out the results. This rebellion brought out this matter again, and I ordered Wang Shilang to investigate. β
Rebellion leads to this?
Imperial Concubine Jingyi was stunned at first, but now she is shocked, who will be involved? She inevitably thought of her maiden family in Xuanwu Palace!
She couldn't take it easy.
She looked at the Emperor inquiringly.
Emperor Jing Kang didn't know that her psychology had changed, and she was still asking her to tell her what happened before and after King Cheng's accident, as well as the movements in the palace.
