Jin Zhong couldn't be sure who the rebellious murderer was for a while! It looks like at least three people could do it.

The imperial kitchen eunuch Wang Gou'er, the second concubine of the crown prince Guo, and even the prince and his wife are not necessarily impossible. After all, the death of the emperor is good for the crown prince, and the relationship between their father and son is not good; It's just that the emperor collapsed in the East Palace, and Jin Zhong felt that the prince might be innocent.

The medical officer diagnosed that the saint had been poisoned by a silver snake venom, and Jin Zhong made a special trip to ask the medical officer. After the venom of the silver krait snake is taken out, the storage time is short, and the toxicity will be greatly reduced in one day and one night; Even if you put it in ice, it will be stored for more than half a month at most.

However, the venom of the silver krait snake is a first-class poison, and the dose that can poison a person to death cannot even be seen by the eyes, and it is even more difficult to weigh! There are often silver krait snakes in various places, and the hospital still can't record how much venom is needed to make people deadly.

Therefore, Jin Zhong felt that the living silver krait, even if it was not in the palace, must be in the capital city. If you want to check, you can start by searching for the krait, but is there a chance to do it now?

The emperor died suddenly, and the most important thing at the moment is the ascension of the new monarch, which is ten million times more important than finding out and reporting the murderer.

Jin Zhong's most loyal person is, of course, the saint, and if he didn't have the grace of the saint's knowledge, he might still be counting people now. But the saint has collapsed, and things have come to this point, and what he hopes most is for the crown prince to ascend the throne.

Not to mention that the crown prince was originally a legitimate crown prince, Jin Zhong got very close to the prince very early, and more importantly, the prince was benevolent and reasonable; And the king of Han is cunning and violent, beating people to death at every turn, making him the emperor, and everyone can live in peace?

…… At this moment, Yang Shiqi said: At this time, the major event of the alternation of the throne must be stabilized first, and the crown prince should ascend the throne in front of the coffin of the first emperor as soon as possible.

Yang Shiqi was not very valued before, but he was always able to put forward opinions with a clear head at critical moments, and everyone thought it was good.

If something goes wrong, not only the King of Han and the King of Zhao will fight, but the brothers of the first emperor (Zhu Di) will not be completely clean. Not to mention that most princes still have feudal kingdoms and maintain a considerable number of escort troops; There are also some vassal kings, such as the fourteenth son of the crown prince in the northwest, King Su, and the guard army has not been cut at all.

Now the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are almost all people who have taken refuge in the Yan Wang family and seized power through war. In case the Yan Dynasty loses power again due to civil strife, everyone will have to die together!

As long as the crown prince ascends the throne, the ministers present are all from the dragon's work, the henchmen of the new monarch, and they will be important members in the central power circle of the imperial court in the future.

Even the ministers who were not able to participate in the conspiracy today, many of them also supported the crown prince. When the crown prince ascends the throne, at least the vast majority of people can keep their glory and wealth...... Because the prince has always been benevolent and famous; He can listen to persuasion most of the time, and reasonable people have room for everything, which is much more reassuring.

So everyone began to think of a way to arrange it so that the prince could ascend the throne smoothly.

At this time, Yang Rong, an official of the East Palace, suddenly said: If you take the King of Han first, what will happen?

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned and couldn't refute them for a while. Because it's really a shortcut once and for all! As long as the King of Han is controlled, who can prevent the crown prince from ascending the throne?!

This kind of dry method is definitely not something that Yang Rong thought of alone, but only Yang Rong took the lead in saying it, and the officials of the East Palace really went out!

Yang Shiqi, who is also an official of the East Palace, was the first to object: The shortcuts in the world are all paths. The crown prince is both the eldest son and the crown prince, and his name is justified, why should he take the risk of taking the trail? The king of Han is a vassal king in Yunnan, what can he do in Beijing?

What Yang Shiqi said also makes some sense, although once the shortcut is successful, the harvest will be great and can solve countless problems; But shortcuts are not easy to take, and whether you can succeed is the key!

Yang Rongdao: The king of Han can fight well, has a heavy army in Yunnan, and has great power, once he is let go, it is difficult to ensure that he will attack the prince by taking advantage of the death of the first emperor in the East Palace. When the country is in turmoil, others (vassal kings) will have a chance to take advantage of it! What's more, the opportunity is in front of him, and the King of Han will enter Beijing tomorrow morning, and he has not been wary yet.

When the prince heard that "the first emperor died in the East Palace", he was a little breathless, but he objected without pain: Gao Xu is my own brother, and I can't bear it.

The second person who supported Yang Rong's idea was Yuan Hui. Yuan Heng is also a personal essence, starting from the end of the year to the point of being a minister in the court. He didn't talk about whether to deal with King Han at all, he only said how to do it.

Yuan Jue said: The monk of Qingyuan has a kind of mystical incense, which was also used by the King of Han when he went to Beijing to persuade Li Jinglong to surrender, and the effect was good. As long as the king of Han is lured into a house with incense, he is fascinated, it is extremely brave, what is the use?

At this time, the crown princess Zhang also supported this idea. She thought carefully and thoughtfully, and said: We should be ready first, as long as we call the king of Han into the palace to see his mother, and take him to Donghua Gate; If the King of Han is willing to come, he must know nothing about this matter, and then he can go to Kunning Palace by entering the Wenlou. As soon as he entered the Wenlou, he was fascinated by what Yuan Shaoqing said, and everything was decided!

And we can also prepare the back hand, in case the King of Han did not enter the Wen Building, there are only two doors to get out of the palace; If you want to enter the middle three halls, there are only two doors. Trying to hold these places, and then sending an order to transfer Tan Qing to lead his troops in, how could the King of Han escape?

Zhang also persuaded the prince: The prince does not want to harm his brother's life, you are the eldest brother, discipline him, let him do his filial piety by the side of the queen mother, what's wrong? In the future, the king of Han repented and changed, and you gave him another feudal country, wouldn't it be a good deed for the peace of the country?

The prince's expression was serious, his eyes were blank, and he was contemplating.

Everyone is talking again, whether to take down the king of Han! But by that time, the situation had gradually become clear.

It's a bit risky to do this because it's too hasty, and if it's detected, it's even more disadvantageous.

If you don't do it, there are risks. First of all, the king of Han held heavy troops in the borderlands, and it was inconvenient for the court to supervise and supervise, and civil war might break out; At least for a long time, it was extremely difficult for the imperial court to solve the problem of such a prince who threatened the central government and had great military achievements. Secondly, the death of the saint in the East Palace, the king of Han may not give up, and the prince and his ministers will not be able to get rid of it...... And all this becomes simple as long as you take down the King of Han. Sometimes taking risks is also evading responsibility?

The crown prince Gao Chi is extremely forbearing, and he is so benevolent that people feel a little cowardly and have no idea. But at this time, he actually changed his previous style and nodded very decisively!

Jin Zhong was also a little surprised when he saw the prince nodding so quickly. I feel that I may have mistaken the prince before.

Jin Zhong thought that the prince was actually a very assertive person and very resilient, so the prince would be very determined to walk the right path no matter what he faced before...... You can do nothing and endure until the day you ascend the throne.

A person who has been sticking to the path in his heart for ten years has never changed his mind in the face of countless setbacks, criticisms, and suppressions. Probably only tenacious people can do it.
