Chapter 907: The icing on the cake
Weichen also felt that what the Queen Mother said made some sense, after all, His Majesty's side ...... In short, everyone is clear, "This time it was Liu Ziqiang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, who stood up to speak, not that he had any reason, but now that Zhang Juzheng has spoken, he can't just rely on Zhang Juzheng alone to support the façade, no matter how you say it, you have to stand up for two people again, "However, even if this matter is aimed at the Queen Mother, it turned out to be implicated in His Majesty, but Weichen only thought about it carefully, but he really didn't find out that the Queen Mother had done anything that would be so resentful, In the past two years, the holy decree issued by the court has been known to Weichen and others, and there is nothing in it that will cause such a disaster,"
If he didn't know that Liu Ziqiang was honest and upright, his words could also be regarded as sycophants, but what Liu Ziqiang said was not all that kind of slapping words, at least what he said was right, Zhu Yijun has been on the throne for two years, and Empress Dowager Li has also been in charge of the government for two years.
In the past two years, letting a woman take power will naturally make many people unhappy, but this is the current situation, if you are unhappy, then you are unhappy, and there is no other way, but like this, and, as mentioned earlier, in the past two years, the edicts, holy decrees and the like that have been handed down by the imperial court, these people present all know it clearly, maybe some of them do make many people unhappy, but it will definitely not come to the point of daring to send someone to assassinate the emperor, Even if it is a punishment, it is only a small punishment, and it is not excessive.
Of course, Liu Ziqiang is neither a greedy person, nor is he definitely not an upright person who has no heart at all, he can sit in the position of the secretary of the criminal department, fairness is naturally there, but selfishness also exists, and he is also very smart, but in his words, there is a lot of leeway.
He just said, "In the past two years, the holy decrees issued by the court have been known to Weichen and others", this sentence is not only as simple as it sounds, it also has a deeper meaning, that is to say, the holy decrees issued by the imperial court, or in another way, it is said that in the past two years, the orders issued by the Empress Dowager Li have been good, and Liu Ziqiang means that in the past two years, the orders issued by the Empress Dowager Li, known to these ministers, will never cause this kind of problem.
In other words, in the past two years, Empress Dowager Li has also issued many orders, which these ministers do not know, and among those orders that these ministers do not know, will there be anything that will cause this disaster, then he Liu Ziqiang does not understand.
The implied meaning in Liu Ziqiang's words is not very deep, and everyone present can hear it, but this kind of thing, what can it be done if it is heard, it is naturally impossible for other people who are also ministers to say anything, and Empress Dowager Li is even more unable to say anything about it, if she will be angry because of this, wouldn't it be obvious that she herself has indeed done something that will make people so resentful, which has caused Zhu Yijun's disaster now, This kind of words that are equivalent to giving herself out, Empress Dowager Li naturally can't say it.
Moreover, Liu Ziqiang's words will not make the Empress Dowager Li resentful of him, his remarks, from one aspect, are to name the matter by the Empress Dowager Li, but at the same time, his words can be regarded as a wake-up call to the Empress Dowager Li, if she can say it, and is not afraid of damaging the dignity of her Empress Dowager, then the following ministers will naturally not do anything, and will naturally go all out to help solve this problem, if she doesn't say it, then these ministers will naturally not ask, Let the Empress Dowager Li go to Zhang Fan to solve it secretly, anyway, after such an assassination time, even if Zhu Yijun wants to go out again, it is estimated that it is absolutely impossible for the Empress Dowager Li to agree, and now that Zhu Yijun is in the palace, it is safe, and these ministers are naturally whatever you want.
"Mourning the family...... What has the mourning family done," and the Empress Dowager Li was not like these people thought, either she just kept her mouth shut or said what she had done, but she showed a sad and indignant look on her face, and said indignantly, "What has the mourning family done in the past two years, the mourning family is naturally very clear in their hearts, and the mourning family will never do anything that will harm the emperor, even if it is...... Even if the mourning family really did something and formed a deep grudge with someone, it has nothing to do with the emperor of the mourning family, they are all coming to the mourning family, why bother to involve the emperor of Egypt," Speaking of which, the sadness on the face of the Empress Dowager Li made people feel very painful when they saw it.
The following people also have some of this kind of thought, but these people have another idea in their hearts, yes, it is not bad for the Empress Dowager Li to say this, the so-called unjust debtor has the owner, since she is the one who has committed it, then that person should come to him, what is it to find Zhu Yijun for revenge, but in the same way, whether it is the Empress Dowager Li or Zhu Yijun, one is the queen mother and the other is the emperor, all of them are masters who live in the palace.
Even if that person wants to directly find Empress Dowager Li to take revenge, then this palace, how can he enter it, now, the reason why Zhu Yijun will be assassinated is not because Zhu Yijun went out for autumn hunting this time, although there are also guards on hand, but after all, it is not as strict as in the palace, isn't this a loophole.
However, no matter what, no matter what the reason for this matter is, no matter whether there is anything suspicious behind this matter, let alone whether the Empress Dowager Li offended anyone or not, all in all, no matter what, assassinating the emperor will not work, although these ministers feel that the Empress Dowager Li must have done something, or that this incident is caused by the Empress Dowager Li, but they will never endure the fact that the emperor was assassinated and say nothing.
"Queen Mother," at this time, Zhang Fan calculated, and it was time for him to speak, "Although Weichen hasn't found anything yet, he has some ideas,"
"Zhang Aiqing thought of something, tell me quickly," Empress Dowager Li looked like she had grasped the life-saving straw and hurriedly asked.
"Empress Dowager Qi," Zhang Fan said, "that day, when the assassin assassinated His Majesty, the scene was really a little strange, Weichen was also confused by the assassin's superb skills until just now, and he didn't think of this for a while, but now after listening to the words of several adults, he has some thoughts in his heart,"
"What did Aiqing think of," Empress Dowager Li frowned, this paragraph was not rehearsed by her and Zhang Fan, it was Zhang Fan's improvisation, she didn't have a clue at all, "Since you thought of it, say it quickly, don't do it again,"
"Yes, Queen Mother," Zhang Fan said, "Just now, the assassination scene that Weichen said, the Queen Mother and several adults have also heard it, and that scene is really dangerous, but it seems that Weichen is too focused on the word dangerous, but he ignores a question."
"Queen Mother, several adults, don't you think that the way this assassin appeared is really a bit too ostentatious?"
Zhang Fan's last sentence made everyone stunned, and then all of them thought deeply.
And Zhang Fan saw them like this, his face did not move, he smiled in his heart, and continued: "When it comes to this kind of thing, although there is almost no such thing in this dynasty, but several adults are scholars, and they should not be strangers, throughout the ages, there are many such assassinations, but whether it is as early as Cao Mo's assassination of Qi Huangong, Jing Ke's assassination of Yingzheng, or like the pre-Qin period, such as Cao Cao's assassination of Dong Zhuo, or the assassination of Liao Muzong, these assassinations are nothing more than a little, and they all have to be quietly close to the target in advance, and some of them take a lot of time. Trusted; Some of them are temporarily disguised and get closer.
"But this time, this assassin is different, if he sneaks in, and then assassinates His Majesty at night, or changes into the clothes of the rear army, close to His Majesty's big tent, although His Majesty's big tent is protected by the big inner guards, this method is difficult to succeed, but this is the most reasonable way, but this assassin is different, he appeared in front of everyone in a grand manner, and even he didn't see His Majesty for the first time, so let Lord Zheng's people see it, everyone, if someone wants to assassinate some big man, Will it be this way?"
Zhang Fan said this kind of thing, don't even think about it, everyone shook their heads directly, yes, since it is an assassination, then the target must be a big man, so there will naturally be guards around the big man, if you want to assassinate, you naturally have to try your best to get close to it first.
And now, the person who assassinated Zhu Yijun did not do it at all, but risked being surrounded by hundreds of officers and soldiers, appeared in front of everyone in a grand manner, and openly put his sword at each other, even if he was strong in martial arts, but surrounded by so many people, it was obvious that it was okay to retreat, but it was impossible to assassinate Zhu Yijun again, isn't this putting the cart before the horse.
"Yes, this is indeed unreasonable," Zhang Fan said, "But, Queen Mother, several adults, this person has done this, what is the end, if Wang Meng does not feel it coincidentally, I am afraid that Your Majesty will ...... However, the Queen Mother, what Wechen wants to say is not this, what Wechen means, why did this person do this, appeared in a grand manner, and was surrounded by the rear army, but he still almost succeeded,"
The second half of Zhang Fan's words were actually only halfway through, and everyone present was stunned, yes, it stands to reason that this assassin is simply killing himself by doing this, let alone assassinating Zhu Yijun.
"Aiqing means ......" Empress Dowager Li looked surprised, but she was very happy in her heart.
"That's right," Zhang Fan nodded and said, "Wei Chen seems that this person came to assassinate His Majesty, and someone arranged for him to do so, and his appearance like this was also ordered by the person who arranged him, the reason is that that person knows Your Majesty very well,"
