This question in Zhu Hao's heart was explained by himself after a while, even if Empress Guo said that the edict was fake, Concubine Zheng would still deny it, because both of them were vested interests in the succession to the throne, and the two sides insisted on their own words, and the officials did not know who to believe, and I am afraid that it would be a stalemate at that time, and it would be impossible to determine that the edict in the hands of Concubine Zheng was fake.

Zhu Hao secretly said in his heart: "Presumably, Empress Guo must have thought this clearly, so she will let herself look for it again, and prove that the evidence in the hands of Concubine Zheng is a fake edict!" Thinking of this, Zhu Hao couldn't help but scold in his heart: "TNND, this royal, it's really all bullshit, it's really hard to rectify, there are witnesses who prove that they can't punish the crime, and there must be two people with the same identity to prove that the other person is guilty, so that people can be convinced, where is this special investigation, it's completely a duel of forces, in the end, whoever is strong, whoever says is the truth!" Zhu Hao scolded angrily in his heart, completely forgetting that he was also one of the members of the royal family, and what he said just now was to scold himself into it.

Zhu Hao was not angry in his heart, but it didn't help at all to solve this problem, he looked sad, he didn't know how to break the situation, Gongsun Ce looked at Zhu Hao like this, and said what he thought in his heart: "Your Highness, in fact, if you want to prove that the edict in the hands of Concubine Zheng is fake, it's not impossible, but we need to take a detour!" ”

Zhu Hao listened to Gongsun Ce's words, and his mood at the moment was just like what Lu You said in his poems, "The mountains and rivers are full of doubts, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village." He got up excitedly, grabbed Gongsun Ce's sleeve and asked, "Gongsun, what can you do!" Hurry up! After finishing speaking, Zhu Hao paused slightly, with a little complaint in his tone, and continued: "Why didn't you say it earlier? is also selling with this prince, and it is difficult to talk about it! Gongsun, you are a little unkind to do this! ”

Gongsun Ce listened to Zhu Hao's complaining words, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "Your Highness forgives your sins, it's not that Weichen doesn't want to say it, but His Highness didn't ask Weichen just now, and Weichen doesn't dare to talk nonsense!" Wei Chen saw that His Royal Highness was deeply worried because of this matter, so he couldn't speak! ”

Zhu Hao listened to Gongsun Ce's cautious words, shook his head slightly, stretched out his hand to help Gongsun Ce and said: "Gongsun, you and I have been friends for a long time, what kind of person this prince is, you should know in your heart, you don't have to be so careful when you speak in front of me, if you have any good ideas and good suggestions, you can just say it directly." Emperor Taizu's martial arts, rare through the ages, can still be humbly admonished, this prince does not dare to compare himself with Emperor Taizu, but he is not a mediocre person who can't listen to other people's opinions, Gongsun, this prince doesn't want you to hesitate like today! Okay, tell this prince quickly, do you have any good way to prove that Concubine Zheng's edict is fake! ”

Gongsun Ce was very moved when he heard Zhu Hao's sincere words, and said with some excitement: "Your Highness, Weichen knows that he is wrong, in Weichen's opinion, His Highness's mind and talent are not inferior to Emperor Taizu, and it is really a blessing for Weichen to be able to follow His Highness!" After saying some sighs, Gongsun Ce took a deep breath and slowly said his own method: "Weichen heard that His Royal Highness has a confession in his hand, the first assistant of the cabinet, and this confession shows that he colluded with Concubine Zheng to poison the first emperor, can there be such a thing if His Royal Highness does not live?" ”

Zhu Hao listened to Gongsun Ce's words, and he didn't wonder why Gongsun Ce knew about this matter, because when he was in front of Taihemen, he once took out the confession in front of the ministers, and this matter was not a secret, and naturally he couldn't escape the eyes of Gongsun Ce, who was the temporary head of the Central Intelligence Service.

Zhu Hao understood what Gongsun Ce meant by asking himself, because he did take out a confession at the beginning, but it was a blank piece of paper, Gongsun Ce was asking about the truth of this matter, and Gongsun Ce may be the same as the ministers, thinking that he was just scaring Fang Congzhe and Concubine Zheng at the beginning, but in fact there was no confession.

Zhu Hao thought like this in his heart, and said with a look of displeasure on his face: "Gongsun, do you treat this prince like this?" When did this prince do something deceitful? Do you also suspect that this prince did that in Taihemen in the first place to frame Fang Congzhe and Concubine Zheng? ”

Gongsun Ce listened to Zhu Hao's words and knew that Zhu Hao had misunderstood himself, so he hurriedly explained: "Your Highness, you misunderstood Wechen, whoever questioned His Highness, Wechen would not question His Highness, Wechen just knew that what His Highness said at that time was true, so he confirmed with His Highness, Wechen actually wanted to see the paper on which the confession was written!"

Listening to Gongsun Ce's explanation, Zhu Hao's face was a little better, and he slowly took out the piece of paper from his arms where Fang Congzhe had written a confession, handed it to Gongsun Ce, and said with some frustration: "Gongsun, this confession is nothing for you to see!" It's just that this piece of paper is useless now, and now there is indeed not a word on it! I'm afraid that people all over the world will probably think that this prince was lying in front of Taihemen! ”

Gongsun Ce carefully took the confession from Zhu Hao's hand, carefully observed it for a while, and then asked, "Your Highness, did you really see that there were words on this confession?" ”

As soon as Gongsun Ce's words were finished, he was a little depressed just now, causing Zhu Hao, who was not in a very good mood, to be even more dissatisfied, he really couldn't bear the questioning in Gongsun Ce's words, he glanced at Gongsun Ce coldly, and snorted coldly: "Gongsun, what do you mean by this?" This prince is not old and dizzy at this age, right? Even if he was in a hurry at the time, the prince didn't see what was written on it clearly, but the prince couldn't tell if there were words or not? What's more, this prince looked at it carefully three times and made sure that there was no problem, so he took this confession back into his arms! ”

Gongsun Ce heard the dissatisfaction in Zhu Hao's words, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, you misunderstood Weichen again, the reason why Weichen asked this is because Weichen thought of a possibility, so he reconfirmed with His Highness, if Weichen's guess is right, then Weichen has a way to make the words that disappeared on the paper appear again!" ”

Zhu Hao listened to Gongsun Ce's words, and there was a roar in his brain, the reason why Zhu Hao is like this is because if what Gongsun Ce said is true, then it will really solve a big problem for him. Because if the words on that confession can be revealed, then he doesn't have to go at all, what evidence to prove that the edict in the hands of Concubine Zheng is fake, because the confession is directly written by Fang Congzhe, confessing to conspiring with Concubine Zheng to poison the emperor, there is an accusation of being the first assistant of the dynasty, plus Empress Guo's proof, whether the edict in the hands of Concubine Zheng is true or false, it no longer matters, Queen Guo and Fang Congzhe have enough weight, even if they can't make Concubine Zheng surrender in the end, no one will believe Concubine Zheng's nonsense!

With the shock in his heart, Zhu Hao grabbed Gongsun Ce's arm tightly and exclaimed, "What? Gongsun? Are you telling the truth? ”

Gongsun Ce was hurt by Zhu Hao's arm, and exclaimed again and again: "Your Highness, Your Highness, don't be excited!" Can you let go of Wechen first? You've scratched Wechen! ”

Zhu Hao listened to Gongsun Ce's words, looked at Gongsun Ce's pain, and his face turned purple, only then did he realize that he had lost his temper just now, and quickly let go, grabbed the hand of Gongsun Ce's arm, and said with some embarrassment: "That, well, this prince was excited just now!" Gongsun, tell me quickly, is there any way you can make the words on this piece of paper visible? Isn't it possible that you can't do any magic? ”

Zhu Hao was originally an authentic atheist, but at this moment he actually believed in such a thing as magic, which shows how much impact the words on this confession suddenly disappeared on his heart, and how much shock Gongsun Ce's words that could make the words on it reappear brought to him.

Gongsun Ce listened to Zhu Hao's somewhat incoherent question, and understood Zhu Hao's eagerness at the moment, so he didn't sell Guan Zi anymore, and said directly: "The minister once heard that during the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a case of fraud in scientific research, which was related to the fact that the handwriting on this paper would disappear automatically.

This happened in the Jiangnan examination room during the Northern Song Dynasty, when there was a candidate, with cuttlefish ink, the content of the exam was written in the clothes, and after the ink was completely dry, the handwriting automatically decomposed, disappeared, everyone did not know that he cheated, and later the examiner was arrested for other things, confessed this matter, and the world knew that there was such a thing. ”

It was the first time Zhu Hao heard about this cuttlefish ink, and he was very curious, so he interrupted Gongsun Ce's words and asked, "What is this cuttlefish ink?" Why does the word disappear automatically after the ink dries, and if it does, then how can this candidate cheat? ”

Gongsun Ce listened to Zhu Hao's question, and then opened his mouth and continued to explain: "Your Highness, don't be impatient, and listen to Weichen slowly, this cuttlefish ink is actually made of the bile of a fish cuttlefish in the sea and added to the fish bone to make ink, as for why it disappears after writing, when the ink is completely dry, this Weichen can't explain to His Highness, maybe this is the magic of God's creation!" ”

Speaking of this, Gongsun Ce paused slightly, and then continued: "Your Highness just asked this candidate how to cheat, which has to be said that this cuttlefish ink is other magical places except for invisibility, the place where the cuttlefish ink has been written, as long as it has been blistered, and then sprinkled with some dust, the handwriting written before will appear again, and when the water stains in the place where the writing has been written are dry again, sweep the dust away, and the handwriting will disappear again."

At that time, when the candidate was taking the exam in the examination room, his clothes were wet with sweat and some dust was sprinkled on his clothes, and all the cheating content he copied appeared at the beginning.

This method of cheating with cuttlefish ink, Wei Chen felt incredible at the time, and thought it was not credible, but today it seems that it should be something! ”
