Ever since the news of the Emperor's assassination spread, everyone has been talking about it, not only those in the official position, but even ordinary people will discuss it.

Of course, the people in the capital are a little different, after all, they have lived in this capital since they were children, and at the feet of this son of heaven, these things are always indispensable in daily gossip, but if they talked about this kind of thing in the past, if they were heard by the officials, they would definitely come over to stop them.

But this time, the situation is different, at first the people were also discussing, seeing that the official messenger was coming, they naturally stopped immediately, but gradually, the people found that it seemed that the officials didn't care about this matter at all, and even, a few times, some officials heard someone talk about this matter, and came over to join in the fun, this kind of thing, can be said to be unprecedented, unheard of.

Of course, behind this, there is naturally some involvement in it, and it is not right for the common people to talk about this matter, but they will not be arrested, after all, in the eyes of the imperial court, these are ordinary ordinary people, uneducated people, and some of these situations are also very normal.

But the official errands, these people who eat the emperor's grain naturally can't be said.

And now, even these people dare to say these things, and they are talking about the Tao, as if they know what is going on, some are even worse, and even guess what they say, and some people say things that are more evil than the five people who only know what is going on with this matter, and they also make people sigh about the twists and turns of fate and the fate of the royal family.

Of course, what is behind this, there is no need to discuss it now, if those things are talked about, involving all aspects, I am afraid that it will not be able to be said in a day and a night, but this matter is only on the surface, the impact is already very large, first of all, it is rumored by so many people, this news is transmitted quite quickly.

Moreover, among them, this matter is related to a certain vassal king, such a news, even in the early dynasty of that day, after it was announced, with lightning speed, in just one day, in fact, in the evening of the same day, people far away in Henan already knew, it can be seen that the so-called backward times, communication and transmission are not developed in ancient times, but it is not possible to stop the spread of this kind of explosive news.

After three days, most people in the north and south of the river already knew the news, even in the far southwest, and after knowing the news, officials in various places naturally made a fuss, and they were all asking everywhere what was going on.

However, these officials are just inquiring, after all, no matter what you say, this matter has already involved the prince, that is, the royal family's own affairs, it is not their turn to outsiders to talk nonsense, and secondly, some people are really anxious in their hearts, most of these people are more or less involved with a certain prince today, and even some gray transactions and other things in private, they are afraid, and the people who are involved in themselves are also related to this matter, when the time comes, The crime of rebellion must come down, these princes are all the blood of the Zhu family of the same clan and ancestor no matter what, even if they are demoted to concubines, they can escape death, but what about their ministers, even if the Empress Dowager Li does not want their lives, but there are naturally people in the court who will think so, and then they will be in trouble, so now these people are not as worried as others, for fear that they will be implicated.

And the people who are most worried about this matter are none other than those princes, after all, this kind of thing, even if they understand that they have not done it, but if they are framed, they can't stand it, although even if they are confirmed, they can escape death with a lot of relationships, but who is willing to do it themselves, but they are going to be demoted to a concubine, and they have to suffer from the resentment of the crime.

Therefore, as soon as this matter spread, some people immediately moved, and these people are not like those ministers, just frantically asking about other people, but they are just asking the main lord, these are the princes, and they almost feel that they are the ones who are suspected now, if they are still like this at this time, just to inquire, it will increase their suspicion at all.

Therefore, in this case, it is better to ask the palace directly, and at the same time to inquire about things, by the way, it is also good to show your heart and prove your innocence.

And this first one to be sparse, no, it can't be said to be sparse, it's almost the same as a letter from home, and this first person to do this, but it is a person with a very heavy weight, it is Zhu Yuanfang, the king of Qinghui, who is fifty-two years old this year, of course, to say that this king of Qinghui, this age is not too big, but his seniority is extremely high.

Zhu Mofang is the seventh generation of the Ming Dynasty Qing Wang, is the second son of the Ding King Zhu Taixun, he was named the king of Tongxiang in Jiajing for eight years, Jiajing was crowned the son of King Qing in the twentieth year, Jiajing thirty-one years to attack the king of Qing, and now he has been reigning for twenty years.

Speaking of which, it's nothing, and it's hard for ordinary people to understand, let's put it another way, Qinghui King Zhu Yufang, in terms of generation, he and Emperor Zhengde's father, Ming Xiaozong Zhu Youzhu is the same generation, in other words, this Zhu Mofang is Zhu Yijun's great-uncle and grandfather, three times older than Zhu Yijun, not to mention Zhu Yijun, even the Empress Dowager Li of the current dynasty has to be a polite figure.

And such a person with a high seniority, and there is still a sick person, who will die soon, is now worried about the impact of this matter on him, and he is the first to write a letter, which shows how big the impact of this matter is, of course, if it weren't for Zhu Fangfang's poor health, I'm afraid he would have gone to the palace in person.

And in the face of such a person, whether it is Zhu Yijun or Empress Dowager Li, or anyone in the court, they all have to be polite, even if they reply to the letter, they must be polite, for fear of any disrespect, and obviously, the Empress Dowager Li also attaches great importance to this matter, and the reply letter is almost not written by her own handwriting, in the letter, the Empress Dowager Li is really respectful, and repeatedly assured that this matter will never be on the head of the old prince, so this is a matter.

Empress Dowager Li didn't hide this matter from anyone, and even took the initiative to tell people about it, but it turned out to be known to the Manchu Dynasty, and the consequence of the Manchu Dynasty was that within a day, the entire capital would know about it, or in less than half a month, the whole world would know about it, so it didn't take long for Zhu Mofang to know about this matter, and many other princes knew about it.

You must know that among so many contemporary clan vassal kings in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Xuanqi, the king of Shuduan, can be said to be the farthest away from the capital, even if it is 800 miles urgent, the distance from the capital to Chengdu, it will have to run for several days, and when the time comes, Zhu Xuanqi, who received the news, hesitated again, inquired again, and it took a few days, and when he wrote the letter, it took several days to send it to the capital. It is already certain that Zhu Xuanqi is definitely the last prince to send the letter.

At that time, after Zhang Fan presented the results of his "investigation", and then cooperated with the fact that Zhu Xuanqi was the last to write to him, if he was to be convicted in this way, Zhu Xuanqi would definitely be speechless at that time, he would not be able to say anything, and he would not be able to explain it at all.

However, Zhu Mofang's letter is not the point, the point is that Zhu Mofang can be regarded as a good start, originally, the other princes are still hesitating, although they have already made up their minds, they must ask to understand, but they are still hesitating, can't make up their minds to find a time to give up, after all, this kind of thing, always makes people feel that if anyone is the first to ask, it is a weak heart, there is a ghost in the heart.

Now, Zhu Mofang has begun, this has nothing to do with his seniority, in fact, in this matter, these princes feel that as long as they are not the first, of course, with a person with a high rank like Zhu Mofang to be the first to come out, it is naturally better.

Therefore, it was only a few days, and the palace received nearly ten letters, and without exception, all of them were written by those vassal kings, and for a while, although there was no movement on the outside, but inside, it was really lively, and now those ministers no longer asked which prince they were related to, but to analyze the princes of these letters, to see who was most likely.

But there is one thing that everyone didn't expect, only those feudal kings who have fiefs are clarified, and some people who live in the capital and have a title of prince are indifferent, but now it looks normal, after all, they really have nothing to do with this matter, others don't believe it, and they themselves won't feel that there is a problem.

After five or six days, gradually, the imperial court was a little more stable, but it didn't take long for the original news to be revealed.

Naturally, as soon as those news are released, it will naturally cause an uproar again.

And now, the king of Shuduan, who is far away in the southwest, has not received the news.
