Chapter Forty-Eight: The Death of Chincha
Jinling, Yuwang's Mansion. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Qin Cha was assassinated in Qinghe County, Your Highness, such a big thing, why don't you really ask King Qinghe carefully? Qinghe is his jurisdiction, and now that he is in Qinghe, I'm afraid he can't say anything about it, right?" When the news of Qin Cha's assassination in Qinghe County was transmitted to King Yu's Mansion by Ning Qiongzhen, King of Qinghe, Shi Linbi, the head of King Yu's Mansion, finally couldn't hold his breath.
"Lin Changshi is wrong, His Royal Highness King Qinghe is now in the Qinghe Palace, after all, His Royal Highness King Yu only visited His Majesty a few days ago, and now he openly blames the King of Qinghe for this matter, doesn't he clearly tell His Majesty and the Prince: King Yu and King Qinghe have joined forces, and King Yu is still bullying the king? Maybe the princelings will bite to death: The matter of Qinghe County is the result of His Royal Highness King Yu instructing King Qinghe. Qu Zhixin's words refuted Lin Bi, that day His Majesty set up a banquet, but the King of Qinghe handed over a fold and said that he could not go to the banquet due to the cold, so in order to lie for Ning Qiongzhen, the king of Qinghe, the King of Yu asked for a visit, and replied to His Majesty afterwards. If King Yu bites King Qinghe now, he will clearly tell the world: He was all lying before. If someone involves the assassination of Qinghe County's Qincha with Ning Qiongzhen, there is a chance that Ning Qiongzhen, the king of Qinghe, will be implicated in King Yu himself, and the princelings will never let go of this opportunity.
Qu Zhixin then said the main topic: "What should be considered now is: The concubine has the name of the Qin Mission, but there is the fact of the Qin Mission? Did Your Majesty hand over the matter to the Yasukuni Gong or the concubine? The late Yasukuni Duchess and the Yasukuni Gong had a deep relationship in their early years, and now it is reasonable to sweep the tomb of the Yue family, not to mention that the Yasukuni Gong even brought a pair of children, and the Yasukuni Fair Day loves his daughter the most, and he has to believe the tomb sweeping. The horses were ordered to tour the south, and even half of the Praetorian Guard battalion in the capital was moved, and it is understandable to say that they led troops to suppress the water bandits in Hancheng. ”
The matter has to start from twenty days ago, that day King Yu learned from the secret agent of the East Palace that His Majesty issued a secret decree, the specific content is not clear, only from the East Palace knew that it was about Liaocheng. Donggong has always been famous for doing things and is very frank, but this time it is low-key and mysterious, and he can't find the slightest bit of tone. Sure enough, a few days later, Su Yuan asked Liaocheng to sweep the tomb of his father-in-law, and King Yu set his target on Yasukuni. In order to find out the meaning of the Yasukuni Prince, Su Yao went to the Yasukuni Mansion but did not even see Su Yuan, and Su Chi has always been unleaking, let alone found nothing. The most suspicious thing is that it is neither the guards in the eldest princess's mansion nor the guards sent by His Majesty to send special guards, but the Praetorian Guards led by the crown prince and young master. So everyone's goal is to lock on the horse, but the horse is assassinated while passing through Qinghe County.
Lin Bi looked very respectful: "The subordinates think that to judge who holds the secret decree between Fu Yuma and Yasukuni Gong, it depends on who the prince believes more." Fu Fei Ma and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have no friendship, and Princess Rong Nobunaga has not been out and walked around for a long time, although the Lord of Fu County has grown up with His Royal Highness the Prince, but the County Lord and His Royal Highness You are also cousins, and a child can't affect the overall situation. Although the Duke of Yasukuni is the in-law of His Royal Highness, the princess did raise in the Yasukuni Mansion for a few years and married from the Yasukuni Mansion, but it is now rumored in Jinling City that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Yu Guogong's pearl Su Chi is a childhood sweetheart and a peerless person. As long as the East Palace, His Majesty, and even the Yasukuni Mansion make a slight statement, the rumors will stop immediately. However, the rumors were once rampant, and it can be seen that they are all happy to see it. From this point of view, the relationship between the Yasukuni Gong and the East Palace is more intimate. ”
King Yu thought for a while, Lin Bi and Qu Zhixin often talked around the bush, so he asked again: "What does Lin Changshi mean: Only in the hands of the Duke of Yasukuni will there be secret envoys?"
"Lin Changshi's analysis is good, since it is something that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is trying to promote, most of us are harmful. Although in terms of armament, the horse is more like a chincha, but I heard that the horse's southern tour was still a proposal of the Yasukuni Gong, so it seems that the Yasukuni Gong is the one who knows about it. Moreover, the Yasukuni Gong is the best at capturing people's hearts and winning the sacred heart of His Majesty, so if he has such a confidential and important matter, he is indeed the best person to entrust him. It's just that His Majesty is so careful and cautious to guard the secret that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is completely unguarded, which shows the weight of the East Palace in His Majesty's heart, and His Royal Highness must be more cautious in dealing with the East Palace in the future. Qu Zhixin rarely agreed with Lin Bi's analysis.
Now that the horse has died for no reason, the carrier pigeon of King Qinghe is short and has no clue. The Praetorian Guards led by the horses were the elite of the Jinling guards, how could they be killed in that small place in Qinghe County? Could it be that someone had defected?" Lin Bi was not kind because of Qu Zhixin's approval, and his question came again.
"If it's really the Praetorian Guards who killed the horses, Donggong will be in big trouble. However, it is unlikely that the matter is concerned, the Praetorian Guard is a strong general selected from the local army, and the identity is especially taboo related to Yao Yuan of the imperial court, Yan Jin, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, has served as a subordinate official in the East Palace for many years, and he is the prince's confidant, and it is impossible to trap His Royal Highness the prince at this time. What the truth of the matter is, I'm afraid we will only know when the cause of Fu Ma's death is investigated. At this hour, His Majesty has already gone to bed, and His Majesty will know about it by tomorrow morning at the latest. Although King Qinghe is now in Jinling, as the person who knows Qinghe County best, His Majesty will definitely inquire about King Qinghe at that time, so King Qinghe should be cured of his illness. In fact, King Yu had sent his heart to Ning Qiongzhen, the king of Qinghe, more than once, asking him to find out the content of the secret decree and return to Beijing as soon as possible, but he did not receive a reply for a long time. Now that there is such a murder, if you don't come back, I'm afraid you won't be able to wash it by jumping into the Yellow River.
"Now that the King of Qinghe is far away in Qinghe County, but he has explained the matter in a vague manner, His Royal Highness's loyalty to him may have to be reconsidered, and he must not fall into his hands, so as not to raise tigers in the future. "It was Qu Zhixin who spoke.
I don't know if it's because the Shu family once gave Qu Zhixin a grievance, Qu Zhixin is always full of malice towards the Shu family's grandson King Qinghe, Lin Bi had to say a fair word: "The flying pigeon message is easy to be intercepted, and the message has to be brief, His Royal Highness has already done so much on the King of Qinghe before he has been brought over, if at this time for these unwarranted things to push the King of Qinghe to the East Palace, wouldn't it be a pity? Even if Qinghe is not an important place, he has no power in Qinghe, in the end he is still the son of His Majesty and the prince of his own title!"
"The third brother will never serve the East Palace. King Yu made a judgment without delay.
"How so?" asked Lin Bi.
Qu Zhixin has always had an accurate grasp of people's hearts: "If you have a neighbor who is kind to you on weekdays, but later takes advantage of the fire to rob and steal your things, lives in your house, kills your family, and drives you out of the house, will you turn around and forget about it and then meet you?"
Lin Bi was very puzzled: "Didn't Empress Shu die by self-immolation?"
That night, the king asked the guards who put out the fire, and there were traces of wine splashing in the palace where the fire started, and the Shu palace had not served wine for many years, and there was no record in the palace, so it could be seen that this was a murder, but the murderer was difficult to identify. ”
