Speaking of this, General Li seemed a little emotional, he stood in the crowd, bowed his hand to everyone, and asked:

"Could it be that the crown prince has predicted the death date of Emperor Renzong in advance as early as half a month ago, so he returned to Beijing ahead of the person we sent the letter, so he was able to arrive in front of his father's spirit so quickly?"

"Yes, why did the prince return to Beijing so early? The prince should give us an explanation! ”

At this time, Zhang Xing, who had been hiding in the crowd of people who had been manipulating all this in the dark, hurriedly raised his arms and shouted. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zhang Xing said this, and the rest of the people also coaxed.

"Please give us an explanation! Why did Emperor Renzong die so suddenly, and why did the crown prince return to Beijing so quickly and succeed to the throne immediately? Queen, as a middle palace, you can't pretend to be deaf and dumb just because the matter involves the prince, right? ”

"Yes, the emperor's death is unclear, and the old minister is also uneasy."

Another old minister beside Zhang Xing also stood up and boldly accused Empress Zhang.

Empress Zhang was a little flustered under the siege of everyone, but she still stood up calmly and said sharply:

"Bold, do you know what you're talking about? Are you accusing the crown prince of killing his father? Let's ask, on the day of the husband's accident, the prince was far away in Nanjing, how did he murder his father? In this way, what is the intention of imposing a crime on the prince? ”

"Hmph. The prince's absence in the capital does not mean that he has no influence in the capital. Otherwise, how could the crown prince get the news of the emperor's guests and rush back to succeed to the throne so quickly? Let's ask the prince to give us an explanation. ”

At this time, Zhang Xing, who was in the crowd, couldn't hold it back, jumped out, and continued to incite everyone's emotions.

Taking advantage of the fact that the bones of the former emperor were not cold, for a while, the entire mourning hall had a feeling of excitement.

Zhu Zhanji, who had been silent in the mourning hall, secretly observing the every move of everyone in the mourning hall, stood up calmly at this time.

He was already tall, and he looked very powerful. He stood among the ministers, waved his hand, and the crowd immediately fell silent.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am touched by your sincerity towards my father, and I thank you again for my father. Now let's first figure out the most important question: how did this prince get the news in advance and rush back to the capital! ”

Zhu Zhanji's words were extremely beautiful, and the ministers who were still indignant and full of accusations against him before were temporarily quiet.

"Do you know that my father is obese and has foot disease, and not long after he ascended the throne, the world was decided, how many people coveted his throne? My father put me in Nanjing, and there was no one around him to protect me, how could I feel at ease? Our father and son are connected, and my father has already sent messengers to my side and him to deliver news all the time, and to maintain the close connection between our father and son. This messenger is him! ”

When Zhu Zhanji said this, he suddenly pulled out Haitao who was standing behind him from the crowd and said calmly:

"Father-in-law Hai, please dictate the letter that my father wrote to me half a month before the accident."

So, Gonggong Hai stood up generously, cleared his throat in the crowd, and began to imitate Zhu Gaochi's tone and said:

"Emperor, I have been feeling poor recently, often dizzy, not long ago, I watched the stars at night, and found that my natal chart star has changed greatly, I have seen that the emperor star is about to fall, the new monarch is about to ascend the throne, in order to prevent those wolf ambitions, take the opportunity to make trouble, when the emperor received this letter, he made plans early, set off quickly, and strive to see the father and son for the last time."

When Haitao said this, his tone suddenly became very low, and he continued to say in a heavy tone:

"If you return to Beijing, I am no longer there, and I will dictate my last words now: 'I am on the verge of the sun, the grace has not been lost to the people, I can't bear to work hard, and the mountain system is frugal.' ”

At this time, hearing this, the ministers were all moved.

Yang Shiqi, the old minister who had just stood up to oppose the crown prince's accession to the throne in front of the prince's spirit, was suddenly the first to kneel on the ground in grief and wept:

"Your Majesty, I shouldn't doubt the prince you trust."

Speaking of this, Yang Shiqi stood up, stood in the center of the crowd, and said loudly:

"On May 13th, the emperor and I did have Brother Saiyi, my monarch and ministers watched the stars at night, and the three of us did see the signs of the fall of the emperor star that day, and the emperor also cried sadly: 'How can you and I have such a confidant in the future!' ”

At this time, when it came to the sad place, Yang Shiqi wiped a handful of tears and sighed:

"Perhaps, since that night, the emperor has a premonition of his death, so he sent a secret letter to the prince, hoping that the prince will come back soon, and the father and son will see each other for the last time, but I pity that I doubt the prince!"

"Based on this one thing, how can you conclude that there is nothing suspicious about the prince?"

At this time, another minister said unwillingly.

"The three of them watched the stars at night that day, and no one knew the scene of the day, and the prince could tell the scene of that night, and there was only one result, that is, the emperor told him personally!"

Yang Shiqi said with great certainty.

Then, he looked at everyone with a bright look and continued:

"Of course, based on this alone, it is not direct enough for the prince to clear his suspicions. The most important thing is that I have a handwritten edict from the emperor here, which was handed over to me by the emperor after Brother Saiyi took his leave. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Shiqi took out a mysterious edict and read it out in a deep voice:

"I am on the verge of the sun, the grace is not in the people, I can't bear to work hard, and the mountain system is thrifty."

"Ah, it's exactly the same as the edict read by Gonggong Hai!"

"The emperor is really like a god, and he has already seen through life and death, he is really a god!"

"Since the emperor is no longer here, then hurry up and bequeath the emperor's will, and the crown prince will ascend the throne before the spirit, so that the emperor can enter the earth and ascend to Elysium as soon as possible."

At this time, the ministers around him had already discussed a lot.

They all stood in line to support the crown prince.

At this time, Zhu Zhanji personally walked in front of Yang Shiqi, personally helped up the old minister who was kneeling on the ground and wept silently, and said gently:

"I don't blame you. It is precisely because you three monarchs and ministers are so close to each other that you should have the right to know the cause of your father's death. ”

Zhu Zhanji walked over, stood in the crowd, and said to everyone:

"Of course, I am very concerned about what kind of disease my father died of. I will summon the Imperial Physician and the chamberlain at once, ask for clarification, and be here tomorrow, so that I can give an official answer to the ranks. ”

At this time, when Empress Zhang saw the prince who turned the tide, she couldn't help but stand beside the prince, and said with the respect of the middle palace:

"Tomorrow, after the crown prince finds out the cause of the emperor's death, if the ministers have no objections, please ask the prince to succeed to the throne immediately." (To be continued.) )
