Chapter 601: Serious Matter
Zhu Gaoxu has seen a lot of troublesome state affairs in the past few days, and it seems to be very important; For example, the border town of Wenwu reported Zhu Gaochi (at this time had become a puppet emperor), and the Mongolian tribes disturbed the border. Everything seems urgent.
But Xue Yan whispered: It's okay to drag it out for ten days and a half months. The remnants of the Yuan Dynasty are now unable to threaten the Ming Dynasty; Even if I urgently mobilized the army to the north, the people of the tribe in the north would have already run away, and it would not be of much use!
Zhu Gaoxu also felt that this matter could not be handled so simply, and that it had to be considered in the long run......
The emperor always sleeps alone in the Qianqing Palace, the rain and dew cannot benefit the six palaces, and the imperial heir cannot prosper; That is the dereliction of duty of the eunuch, and sooner or later he will be impeached by the minister. Now it's a little better, since the Yongle period, the celebrant has taken over the personnel rights of the eunuchs in the inner palace, otherwise the eunuchs and eunuchs were in charge of the Ministry before, and the situation would be even more serious. This is a very serious matter.
However, because the family members of the Han Dynasty had not yet entered Beijing, Cao Fu, the eunuch on duty, first asked for a decree to choose a good-looking chamberlain among the tens of thousands of palace maids in the palace. Zhu Gaoxu flatly refused.
The next day, Cao Fu came to see him again, and asked Le Ji, who was innocent to be selected from the Teaching Division, to wait first, but Zhu Gaoxu did not agree.
What Zhu Gaoxu cares about in his heart is that the origin of these people cannot be completely figured out. But he didn't say it, pretending to be too picky; After all, he has become the son of heaven in the world, and Bigge still has to pay attention to it, and he can't be like before, win some money to find a woman, and don't care if the lights are turned off, so how can he do it?
And it's too late to draft girls in the private sector temporarily, or it takes time to send people out of the palace to find beauties, which is too troublesome.
On the evening of the third day, Zhu Gaoxu returned to the Qianqing Palace after leaving duty.
Cao Fu said again: "Emperor Yu, the beauty of Emperor Taizong was presented to Emperor Taizong by Li Fangyuan, the king of Chaoyu Kingdom, when he arrived in Beijing, it was the end of the sixth year of Yongle (the first year of Hongxi), and it was less than three months, and Emperor Taizong had already died at that time; Some of these beauties once served the deposed prince. There are also beauties who have never slept in the bed, why don't you send them over to the emperor to take a look? ”
Zhu Gaoxu was immediately moved when he heard this, the woman from Chaoyu Country came from a foreign country thousands of miles away, and she had just arrived in Beijing for less than three months, so it was impossible to have anything to do with the grievances of Jingshi.
Cao Fu happily bowed and said, "The slave and maid will prepare immediately!" ”
Those beauties should have to bathe first, and they will have to wait for a while. Zhu Gaoxu took out a stack of files from the cabinet and sat up in front of a table against the south wall. This is all the secret files left by Xue Yan of Dali Temple when he first investigated the case.
When Chengtianmen interrogated the first evil, the evidence that was presented was not all of the secret files, but only a small part. And the investigation file left by Xue Yan is more detailed!
In the past few days, whenever Zhu Gaoxu has time, he will read the small characters on it, trying to figure out the ins and outs.
Xue Yan does have the talent to judge cases, and most of the content he has deduced from the judgment Zhu Gaoxu agrees with...... Determine the fact that the first emperor died in the East Palace, and believe that the cause of his death was the venom of the silver krait, which is very likely (with a detailed record of the venom of the silver krait snake and the symptoms of the poisoned person by the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital); Xue Yan also deduced the motives and opportunities of various people, and Zhu Gaoxu also recognized it.
Many things are written in these secret volumes, but they only record the superficial facts of the case; And the motives and processes hidden underneath are all speculation.
Because Xue Yan could neither find evidence nor human witnesses; Except for Wang Gou'er and others, they are just suspects. It's a pity that Xue Yan and Jinyiwei are both soft and hard, severely tortured, and beaten, and they still haven't really pried open the suspect's mouth! As a result, there has been no substantive progress on the merits.
…… What Xue Yan wrote in the dossier was inferred based on motives and opportunities. Focus on suspicion of two forces: first, the Jianwen Yu Party. Second, the Donggong Palace, the Zhang and Guo families.
The abolition of the crown prince (Gao Chi) and the civil officials with official status in the East Palace are too unlikely to do this kind of thing. The killer weapon of the civilian officials is to attack and reason with morality, and what kind of indiscriminate methods such as poisoning are not their strong points, but also despicable. They would rather fight, and if they lose, they will be glorious even if they are defeated, and wait for their successors to wash the ground; I don't want to do things that are morally unclean.
Xue Yan made such a judgment, and Guo Zi also said it in Sichuan at the beginning, Zhu Gaoxu still felt that it made sense.
And those people in the East Palace have the motive, that is, the fierce conflict between the abolished crown princess Zhang and Guo Yan, and also caused the death of Concubine Guo's unborn son; There is another chance, because the first emperor collapsed in the East Palace.
Among these people, only the Zhang family and Guo Yan have a chance, because the silver krait snake is particularly poisonous and inconvenient to preserve, and it must be supported by a force to do it; Before the death of the first emperor, except for the Zhang family, Guo Yan, and the family members of the East Palace, no one had such power and ability.
…… The motives of the Jianwenyu Party are obvious. At the beginning of Yongle, Emperor Taizong counted too many people, and there was a blood feud everywhere.
The opportunities for the remnants are not out of the question. As the saying goes, there are 3,000 nails in a broken ship. Although Jianwen's henchmen are completely finished, they have always held the power of national power; It is very likely that there will be remnants in the palace and everywhere! Hide in the shadows and wait for an opportunity.
Xue Yan even boldly speculated that maybe these two forces traded and cooperated by chance!
All of these inferences are valid, but the most vexing question is: how to prove it?
...... "The concubine visits the saint." A voice pulled the thoughtful Zhu Gaoxu back from his trance.
It was a woman's voice, with a very strange accent and inaccurate pronunciation. Zhu Gaoxu suddenly remembered that he was choosing a beauty from Chaoyu Country.
He gently put the red pen in his hand on the inkstone, and turned his head to look at the beauty at the gate of the palace. Although it was still cold in the early spring night, the woman was dressed very thinly, and the maid next to Guy took off her robe and coat. She wore a cross-collared dress as thin as a cicada's wings underneath her coat, and only wore one layer of dress.
Zhu Gaoxu, who hadn't been close to a woman for a long time, immediately felt a little stuffy when he saw such a scene. But Zhu Gaoxu's excitement did not make him lower his aesthetics, mainly because there were too many people to choose from...... At the moment, this beauty's appearance is really not good. It's a little worse than the girls of the Peninsula who are jumping and dancing on TV in later generations. It is said that this is still a beautiful woman carefully selected by Li Fangyuan.
The woman quietly glanced at Zhu Gaoxu with a hot gaze of anticipation, then knelt on the ground and saluted, "Holy health and good fortune." ”
Somehow, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly had the feeling of being in some kind of place. When choosing, those women are also looking forward to earning his money; And now these Chaoyu beauties, as long as they can sleep once, the reward will be greater, and it is not because of a plan.
Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand without pressure: "Change!" ”
The woman suddenly showed loss and sadness, but she was still a little forced to say helplessly: "Concubine Xie Sheng's grace." ”
After a while, Cao Fu's voice came from outside the door: "It's time for you to go in." ”
Cao Fu walked in with a woman in a robe, and the maid standing at the gate of the palace immediately went up to take off her coat. Cao Fu bowed over and whispered beside Zhu Gaoxu: "Emperor, you don't have to choose only one person......
Zhu Gaoxu glanced at the newcomer woman, and without waiting for her to speak, he said, "Change!" ”
Cao Fu hurriedly said: "The slave obeys the order." ”
Zhu Gaoxu said in his heart: It's not that I don't give face, I'm really looking for these two "beauties", I might as well drag the two palace maids standing at the door to the bed (in fact, the two palace maids who serve the beauties in wide clothes look pretty good); Do you think that the luxurious clothes you wear can fool my eyes? What stunning beauty have I never seen?
A few people were changed in a row. Zhu Gaoxu felt a little bored, and continued to pick up the file on the table to read, holding a red pen in his right hand and drawing key points on it, as if he was reviewing it when he was about to take an exam; Only when a new beauty came in did he take a casual look.
At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and glanced at the file, but he immediately turned his head to look at it again. He was stunned for a moment, and the red pen in his hand stopped in mid-air.
The woman quietly saw Zhu Gaoxu's appearance, and immediately showed a confident smile. Her double eyelids and almond eyes were also bright, and she seemed to have noticed Zhu Gaoxu's heart from the details, and her eyes showed a look of extreme joy. This is also a clever woman.
This is good! Although it is much worse than Miaojin and Yao Ji's appearance, it is still completely qualified to be called a great beauty.
Under the service of the palace maid, the woman took off the outer robe, and the inner dress was not much different from the previous women, but the color was a little different. Faced with a man who met for the first time...... The emperor, she seems to be pretending to be wearing an ordinary dress, and her demeanor is quite generous. She bent her knees and made a blessing: "The concubine visits the saint, and the saint lives forever." ”
Zhu Gaoxu nodded slightly.
Cao Fu looked overjoyed when he saw this, bowed down and said, "Emperor Venus Fire Eyes!" Her surname is Pu, and the slave maid heard that not long ago, the abolished prince also took a fancy to her at a glance, and wanted to be happy with her! Unexpectedly, Park was the daughter of a strong man, and he dared to resist the 'will'. Fortunately, the abolished prince was in a hurry at that time, and he didn't care about it, so the Park family saved his life and was lucky to serve the emperor. ”
Strong? This group of beauties was sent to Beijing, isn't it for the Ming Emperor to enjoy, what kind of martyrdom is this? Zhu Gaoxu thought that just now Park seemed to be a thoughtful person; He suddenly guessed that Park just disliked that his eldest brother was about to finish, and he didn't want to invest his body as capital in such an emperor!
Zhu Gaoxu said quietly: "I like 'Qinggao' women, others can't get them, but I can get them!" ”
Cao Fu smiled respectfully: "The emperor is wise! Then he breathed a sigh of relief, "The slave has finally found a beauty who can enter the emperor's holy eye." ”
Park looked at Zhu Gaoxu with a strange gaze, but she still maintained a smile on her face. She also said softly: "It's so late, and the saint is still working for the country, but he has to rest the dragon body." The concubines should serve the saint and rest early. ”
