Emperor Chengde's successive big moves made eighty percent of the courtiers in the court tremble. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
This is the second time the whole clan has been imprisoned.
Emperor Chengde has been in power for decades, and he has never made such a big move, this is the first time.
What's going on?
Not only did the courtiers begin to go from house to house, but even the nobles began to move around each other frequently, and the posts received by Shu Hongxuan were already as high as bookcases.
It's a pity that Shu Hongxuan's mouth is tight, and every time someone wants to know something from him, he covers it up.
It is impossible to break through from Shu Hongxuan's side, and it is in vain to want to know more things from Zhou Tingyu's mouth, and the magnates in Beijing can only stare at Zhou Tingyu's movements, lest they be targeted by him.
So Emperor Chengde summoned His Royal Highness the Prince, King Chu, Shu Hongxuan, Chu Xiang, Hubu Shangshu Qin Ying and others into the palace on the afternoon of the next day after making the will to capture the Peng family.
As the sun set, these people came out of the palace.
Everyone wanted to know why His Majesty summoned these people into the palace, they now regard the King of Chu as a beast of prey, as soon as he enters the palace, something big will happen, and someone will be unlucky.
It's a pity that they are destined to be disappointed, these people are tight-lipped and have no way of knowing about entering the palace this time.
But the second prince and the third prince coincidentally chose Qin Ying, the secretary of the household department, as the breakthrough.
Last time, they knew some inside information from Qin Ying's mouth, and this time they also tried their best to ask the inside story from his mouth.
When the second prince got the news, his face turned pale, and he asked with trembling lips: "Is it really to capture all the people related to the transportation of grain in Jinzhou and return to Beijing?" ā
"Yes, Your Highness, it is said that this time when you enter the palace, the King of Chu has already taken the secret decree."
"Did you hear me wrong? It's just to capture the Jinju County Guard, right? The second prince looked at his subordinates with hope, but his subordinates shook their heads mercilessly.
"Although Qin Ying, the head of the household, said that she was drunk and said nonsense, but according to the person who came back from the news, this is true, she secretly asked again, and Qin Ying still said so."
The second prince's heart was beating hard, if he just summoned the Jinju county guard, no matter how the county guard defended himself, he would not be able to prove his innocence, but if all the people related to the grain were captured, then those officers and soldiers who escorted the grain and grass must be among the captures.
The second prince believed in his father-in-law's old subordinates and believed in their loyalty, but the second prince was worried now.
He never knew that his good brother even had a set of methods for interrogation, and recently captured several families one after another, which made him suspect that those officers and soldiers did not know if they could survive under Xiao Wu's hands.
Once Xiao Wu found out the truth about the moldy grain......
The second prince seemed to be able to hear the heartbeat of a drum ringing in his ears, pacing with his hands behind his back, and his mind sounded about the fact that his father led hundreds of civil and military officials out of the city to welcome him.
At that time, Xiao Wu actually accepted his father's personal welcome with an urn in front of everyone.
The momentum of Xiao Wu with 90,000 people can not be forgotten to this day.
He's just a madman, he grabs one and bites it to death, and there are already four families planted in his hands.
The second prince thought that his relationship with Xiao Wu was not good, and the two couples even had a holiday with Xiao Wu's husband and wife, if Xiao Wu really knew the truth about the food, I am afraid that this incident would not have happened.
"Your Highness, there is one more thing ......"
The words of his subordinates made the second prince upset, "If you have something to say, hurry up!" ā
"Your Highness, Qin Ying also said that Kurban and Chen Yuanjian are not dead."
"What!"
The second prince's pupils shrank, his face changed suddenly, he took two steps, grabbed the shoulders of his subordinates, looked at him with a twisted face, and asked through gritted teeth: "You say it again, who did you just say that did not die?" ā
It hurts to be caught, and his subordinates don't dare to shout, "Kurban and Chen Yuanjian, that's what the person who delivered the news said." ā
"Impossible! Didn't they die a long time ago? The second prince's face was distorted terribly, and the foam flew sideways, spraying his subordinates' faces.
Qin Ying said that this was fake news released by the King of Chu, in order to confuse people, Kurban and Chen Yuanjian were poisoned, they did not eat much, and they were rescued in time, and they were rescued by the King of Chu.
Listening to Qin Ying, the King of Chu entered the palace to report to His Majesty, saying that for the time being, the two of them were paralyzed by their tongues, and their hands and feet were also due to poisoning, and after a while, they would be able to speak, even if they couldn't speak, they could write. ā
The second prince roared angrily, "How long will it take to pass a while?" ā
His subordinates were embarrassed: "Qin Ying didn't say it, he just said that it was almost fast." ā
The second prince pushed his subordinates away at once, panting heavily, his chest rising and falling, as if a big hand was grasping his heart, and a suffocating aura gradually spread from all around, soon enveloping him.
An ominous feeling began to grapple over me.
If Kurban and Chen Yuanjian hadn't died, even if they wouldn't confess to them at the beginning, after they poisoned Kurban, I'm afraid they would definitely confess, and if it was him, they wouldn't cover up for the enemy who wanted to kill them.
The more the second prince thought about it, the more frightened he became, he knew that if he embezzled food, his father would be angry and disappointed in him, but he would not want his life.
But once their cooperation with the Turks is exposed, the father will definitely be angry, and Xiao Wu will not let them go.
Because they are the princes of this dynasty.
As the prince of this dynasty, it is an unforgivable crime to unite with foreign enemies, invade the border, and let the Turks torture and kill the people of this dynasty.
Once this kind of thing is exposed, they will be discredited among the people, courtiers, and literati, and there will be no shortage of people who denounce them.
This is the black spot of their life, and it will never be cleared up, I'm afraid that even if they pull the prince down in the end, the throne is not for them to sit on, the biggest possibility is that Xiao Wu is cheaper.
If after this matter is exposed, even if they want to force the palace and succeed in the end, the courtiers will not recognize them as emperors, and the royal family will not recognize them, and all the armies of Great Xia will inevitably clear the king's side.
No sergeant could bear to be betrayed by the royal family - they shed blood and sweat to protect this dynasty, to put it bluntly, also to protect the Zhou dynasty.
They fought with the enemy, but they were betrayed by the Zhou family, who regarded them as grass mustard, is such a dynasty worth guarding them?
The second prince is not afraid of civil officials, there are many scholars in the world, and if they don't obey him, they will be killed, and some of them want to enter the court as officials.
But the second prince was afraid of the army.
Once the army is reversed, his country will be unstable.
A prince who can sell the northern frontier to the Turks, who knows if he will betray the eastern frontier, the southern frontier, and the western frontier to the enemy?
The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, the rabbit is dead and the fox is sad, and the things hurt it.
If the army can't be united, Great Xia won't always be intimidating.
The second prince didn't dare to gamble, he couldn't gamble, he was afraid, he was really afraid.
"Come on, prepare the carriage, and go to the Three Princes' Mansion!"
