Chapter 394: Anger (I)
It's another sad day.
Standing at the entrance of the Yingtianfu torture room, Zhu Wenkui, who got down from the sedan chair, looked up at the plaque and suddenly sighed.
In the past, I stayed in the Qianqing Palace all day long, and I didn't feel anything when I watched my father deal with state affairs, and even Zhu Wenkui felt that it was quite enjoyable, thinking about the progress of a country, the livelihood of tens of millions of people, the development or destruction of a city, all of which were destined at the moment of writing, wouldn't it be a special sense of achievement.
But it wasn't until he began to have the power to decide the life and death of one or more people that Zhu Wenkui felt the heaviness of the moment he put down his pen and how much he needed to know before putting down his pen.
The hard work is already a little pale, and it is simply exhausting and exhausted.
Since his identity was exposed, the number of cases that came to the torture room to sue the official suddenly increased suddenly, and those ordinary people were more pitiful than one another, and sometimes when they said that sadness came from it, it was as if they were going to cry and break their liver and intestines, which made Zhu Wenkui feel helpless many times, and sat in the court.
Every time he thinks of this, Zhu Wenkui hates the mysterious person who follows him and identifies himself in broad daylight.
"It must have been Andingbo's doing."
Yu Qian gritted his teeth: "He is the uncle of the second prince, and this killing must have come from his handwriting.
Now, these noble courtiers have begun to hand over notebooks to the cabinet, and they are suing together with Yin Chen Shao of Ying Tianfu. Your Highness, if these rumors continue to spread like this, it will be quite unfavorable to you in the future. β
We must not underestimate the strength of the bureaucratic class, even if the current bureaucratic class is far less strong than in the Song and Song dynasties, if we join hands and only contradict a prince, it will have an absolute advantage.
After all, Zhu Wenkui is not his father yet.
The bureaucratic class will only be weak like a little white rabbit in front of Zhu Yunwen, because of the disparity in power, as long as Zhu Yunwen lives for one day, they will not be able to raise their heads for a day.
"I don't know what this palace does, but the position of the chief bookkeeper of the torture room is a tempering arranged by my father, and this palace can't refuse it."
Zhu Wenkui sighed.
At this time, Yu Qian gave an idea: "Or, at this juncture, you will take a sick first?" β
The prince was sick, asked for a few months of sick leave, and when the eagerness of the people passed, he was starting to do it slowly, and some punishments and convictions did not seem so deliberate.
This idea made Zhu Wenkui's eyes light up, and the yamen did not enter, so he hurriedly turned around.
"Go to the government."
I have to go to Chen Shao to ask for a leave.
But Zhu Wenkui's trip came to naught.
Chen Shao let the Xichang summons go!
"What is the West Factory investigating Chen Fuzun doing?"
Yu Qian grabbed the doorman and asked.
Chen Shaoke is the Ying Tianfu Yin of Sanpin, and he is an important member of the imperial court, even if he commits a crime, it must be investigated by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, whether it is Xichang or Jinyiwei, it is just a yamen who spies on secret reports, they are only responsible for secretly investigating intelligence, and do not have the power to directly interrogate officials.
Unless the royal power gives it a charter!
"I don't know if it's a little one, I just heard that it's an investigation into the leakage of the identity of the eldest prince in Nanjing a few days ago."
Yu Qian didn't know why, and suddenly a layer of haze was enveloped.
Walking down the high steps, he came to Zhu Wenkui's sedan chair, the latter had already opened the small curtain, and asked, "What's wrong?" β
"Fuzun was taken away by the people of the West Factory."
Yu Qian whispered the news he had discovered, and said with a frown: "I heard that it was for the disclosure of your identity Your Highness, Xichang didn't have the courage to take Ying Tianfu Yin away from the government directly, it must be approved by His Majesty." β
This incident made Zhu Wenkui's face change, and he urgently called Yu Qian into the sedan chair.
"My father wants to find out who is behind the scenes, and now even Chen Shao has been taken away, I'm afraid Chen Shao is not the only one."
said that Chen Shao dared to shadow himself behind his back, Zhu Wenkui didn't believe it in his heart, and he also believed that his father wouldn't believe it.
But as long as there is a suspicion, then it must be investigated.
"The most suspicious is An Dingbo, Your Highness, do you think An Dingbo will also be taken away?"
This question was quickly confirmed, Zhu Wenkui personally went to Beizhen Fusi to find Gu Yu, and after learning that the latter was indeed taken away by Xichang, he was a little proud.
Let you be bad, should!
"Not only An Dingbo, but also Wuding Marquis Guo Lan was also taken away."
The big mouth of the second generation of the Fifth Military Mansion, Guo Lan was taken away in the morning, and in the afternoon, when the nobles were watching the game, it was rumored, and there was no secret in the middle and upper circles of Nanjing.
"There's a good show to watch now."
Yu Qian finally relaxed at this time, and his face was full of happiness: "An Dingbo designed His Royal Highness, but I don't know that he has committed the taboo of being a minister, and he dares to meddle in the affairs of the heavenly family, this time he is the most suspicious, even if there is no evidence, the position of the commander of the brocade guard under the ass cannot be kept." β
Anyway, in Yu Qian's opinion, this matter has come to such a field, it is like a certainty, no matter who looks at it, the spearhead of the mastermind behind the scenes is directly aimed at Gu Yu, the commander of the brocade guard.
Who let the second prince Zhu Wenqi profit the most from this matter.
The fact that a relative dared to meddle in the struggle between the princes was the most hated thing by the monarch in all dynasties.
Once this matter is confirmed, it will be light to lose his official position and abandon his post, and if he catches up with the emperor, he will be in a bad mood to the extreme.
"This time, Concubine Jing can't keep it all and want to eat it."
This sentence was heard by chance when Zhu Wenkui returned to the palace that night, and in the house, it should be a joke when a eunuch was playing a game with the palace maid.
But the speaker has no intention, and the listener has the intention.
If something is found out, Zhu Yunwen's personality is a little neurotic, he is not angry when he should be angry, but he is ruthless when he shouldn't be angry.
In case Gu Yu was given the death penalty in anger, how could Gu Jing, Zhu Wenqi's biological mother, explain it.
Break into the cold palace or sit on the sin and suffer?
The relationship between the son and the mother is interdependent.
Once the trouble reaches a very unpleasant point, will Zhu Wenqi not be implicated and disliked by his father?
Zhu Wenkui, who originally planned to go back to the Qianqing Palace, directly changed his direction and went to the harem, he was going to find Zhu Wenqi!
"Did the eldest brother come to see the younger brother's joke?"
What Zhu Wenkui didn't expect was that Zhu Wenqi, who was the biggest suspect, did not have a sense of panic at all, but was reading a book quite indifferently.
His own uncle had just been taken away by the people of the West Factory.
Who knows what the West Factory is like, and whether there is a cruel and terrifying torture like an edict.
Under that kind of torture, even the innocent people tried to confess their guilt, hoping to die quickly.
And once he confesses, Zhu Wenqi is not afraid to bite him out?
And in the mood for mockery!
Zhu Wenkui didn't care about being angry now, and stepped forward and grabbed Zhu Wenqi's hand: "My brother and my brother went to see my father and ask for guilt." β
"Big brother, didn't you drink wine!"
Familiar, Zhu Wenqi shook it off and laughed.
"What is the need for please?"
Zhu Wenkui was dumbfounded, looked at Zhu Wenqi and said in a deep voice: "Brother don't know, was An Dingbo taken away for interrogation by Xichang this morning?" β
"What is called interrogation, but to assist in the investigation."
Zhu Wenqi sneered and looked at Zhu Wenkui: "That's right, it's just that your identity was leaked, eldest brother, what's the matter, eldest brother, do you also think that I or my uncle did this?" Is the purpose to get you in trouble and get you in trouble? β
It's still hard to talk about it now!
Zhu Wenkui was angry: "When is it, you are still here to talk to me, is it important to talk about this rumor, or is your uncle's life important, while the Xichang has not found out the evidence, let's first ask my father to ask for guilt, and forget about exposing this matter, otherwise, once he has an incident, An Ding Boke will be in danger." β
"I said, nothing!"
Although Zhu Wenqi's height is only as high as Zhu Wenkui's chest, his aura is not bad at all.
"The eldest brother should not spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, the position of the East Palace is vacant, the younger brother does have an idea, but he will never use such a crude act as a means, my mother and uncle are the same, we have never thought of making trouble for ourselves by looking for the eldest brother.
Big brother, my brother said to you today, who can sit firmly in the position of listening to politics in the Wenhua Palace, relying on ability and ability, not relying on these little tricks. β
The more Zhu Wenkui listened, the more unpleasant he became, and finally his eyes suddenly became angry.
"What do you mean by this, do you suspect that I, the eldest brother, are framing you and An Dingbo?"
"Huh."
Zhu Wenqi sat back in his place and smiled disdainfully.
"After this incident came out, the whole Nanjing suspected that my uncle did it, big brother, your goal was achieved, didn't you?"
"You just don't know what to do!"
Zhu Wenkui was angry, pointed at Zhu Wenkui's nose and scolded: "When the gods can't save An Dingbo, you regret going." β
"My uncle will definitely come out of the West Factory!"
This sentence floated in the corridor behind Zhu Wenkui for several days.
Until Guo Lan and Gu Yu really walked out of the West Factory.
There is no evidence, and the West Factory releases people!
"Second Highness, yesterday evening, Uncle Guo came out of the West Factory."
"Hey, I know."
In the lakeside school, Zhu Wenqi, who attended classes as usual every day, learned the news from the little eunuch who was serving beside him during the recess, and smiled to himself, holding a handful of small pebbles in his hand, playing one by one.
"I didn't do this with my uncle at all, how can we be blamed, my eldest brother's tricks to deceive outsiders are okay, and he wants to deceive his father?"
After the stone in his hand was finished, Zhu Wenqi beat the ashes on his hand, squatted down again, put his hand into the lake water to wash, and the little eunuch hurriedly took out a handkerchief to help him wipe it.
"Your Royal Highness is right, we are not afraid of shadows."
The master and servant muttered a few more words, and then they heard a rush of footsteps, Zhu Wenqi turned his head, and saw a frightened eunuch running over, who was a close minister waiting beside his mother.
"Second Highness is not good!"
As soon as the eunuch approached, he began to cry out like a mourner, and he was slapped in the face.
"What's the panic, it's just that the sky has fallen and you can make up for it, what is the ghost called."
Retracting his hand, Zhu Wenqi scolded: "Say, what's the matter." β
"Andingbo was arrested by Xichang again."
Zhu Wenqi's eyelids first jumped violently, and then calmed down.
"However, some issues have not been explained clearly, and it is not a big deal for Xichang to continue to assist in the investigation."
"This is not an investigation, it's a real arrest."
The eunuch said in a lamented voice: "Your Majesty's direct decree, Andingbo's position as the commander of the Jinyi Guard was dismissed, saying that Andingbo was involved in the crime of bullying the monarch and was sent to prison!" Concubine Jing summoned urgently, let you enter the palace, plead with His Majesty, and save An Dingbo's life. β
Prison is down!
Zhu Wenqi only felt that the sky was spinning for a while, and he staggered a few steps, if it weren't for the support of the two eunuchs, he almost fell into the water.
"How so, how so?"
Zhu Wenqi was really panicked at this time, and his calmness was forgotten outside the clouds.
Dismissal and imprisonment.
This is a proper preparation before the killing.
"I just came out of the West Factory last night, and I can find out something in one night!"
Zhu Wenqi roared, and listened to what the eunuch said.
"I heard that the suspect who has been searching in the West Factory was killed, and the place where he died was near the West Factory, and he was still wearing the clothes of Jinyiwei."
Can such a crude trick be used?
Zhu Wenqi immediately scolded.
"Big brother, you have such a poisonous heart!"
Although the technique is naΓ―ve, and it is so simple that people can see the depth of truth and falsehood at a glance, but it can't stand up to the good effect.
This kind of method, in all dynasties and dynasties, has not occurred dozens or hundreds of cases in any year, but why has it endured for thousands of years?
Although in ancient times, no one advocated who adduced this sentence, but the core principle was carried out.
All the evidence to assert Gu Yu's guilt is sufficient, do you want to claim that you are not guilty?
Okay, show the evidence!
