When this matter may be related to a vassal king of the current dynasty, the news was released. It was really lively. Almost all of them were talking about it. But it was discussed for a few days. In the end, there was no conclusion. And the people who know what this thing is all about. It was also never mentioned in this matter. At last. Although it was shocking. But for so many days, I couldn't get an answer. The enthusiasm of these people has gradually cooled.

It's those princes. Although someone started it. Although they all sent letters to show their loyalty. But for these letters. Except for the original letter from the Qinghui King Zhu Mofang. Empress Dowager Li never replied to anyone's letter. That's why. made those princes all worried. But this thing. But it's not good to write to ask for clarification. After all, if that's done. It feels like I'm weak. So nowadays. There was no more letter from the prince.

Although there is no letter from these princes. All of them are yelling and roaring. But. They can't wait. It's not anyone else's business. Especially for Empress Dowager Li. There weren't so many people bothering her. It's too late for her to be happy. How can you care about these things? Besides. Why don't these people come to me anymore? Empress Dowager Li also understood in her heart. She did. It's nice to scare them like this for a while.

In a word. Things were slowly flattening out under these circumstances. Five or six days passed. It's almost rare for people to talk about it anymore. But. This matter was destined to be impossible to calm down so hastily. Just when no one brought it up. A message. Once again, this matter has made a fuss.

A lot of people don't know where this news came from. But the news spread more quickly than before. In fact. It only took less than two hours. This news has already spread all over the streets and alleys of the capital.

And the content of this message is simple. There are only a few words. It's about the assassination of His Majesty the Emperor this time. It is very likely that it has something to do with Zhu Xuanqi, the king of Shuduan.

All of a sudden. The vibration in the court is really not small. After all. Before Zhu Yijun ascended the throne and succeeded to the throne. There are many princes who have joined forces. expressed his disagreement with letting such a young Zhu Yijun take the throne. Or at the very least, one of the royal families should be chosen to be the regent. And among the many joint names of the princes. The first of those names. It was Zhu Xuanqi's. That's what it is.

This thing. Not many people know. But it's not a secret. So when everyone heard that the assassination was related to Zhu Xuanqi. Inquire about them all. Is there any grievance between Zhu Xuanqi and Zhu Yijun and their mother and son? As a result, I inquired. The news was spread.

This time. All know it. Empress Dowager Li rejected Zhu Xuanqi's words that year. And after that. It's already conceivable. After all the people found out about it. Combined with what I have heard today, this is not known to be true or false. Even if you feel something is wrong in your heart. But there are already two or three percent who believe that Zhu Xuanqi is very likely to be involved.

Of course. There are still many people who don't believe it. These people all feel. Zhu Xuanqi is such a vassal king. Such a nice place in the southwest. Pleasures. Why do you want to do such a thing. And. Although the southwest is far away from here. But there's news from here and there.

Again. If there is any prince who really wants to do this. Definitely preparing for this rebellion. As long as the emperor of the dynasty dies. The court will be in chaos. The court was in chaos. You will be able to send troops over there. When the time comes. It's quite possible to fish in troubled waters like this. Maybe the Jing Nan will be replicated successfully.

But. Anyone who knows what is going on in the Southwest today understands it. Zhu Xuanqi did not make any preparations in this regard at all. Of course. As a vassal king. There will be some private soldiers under his hands to a greater or lesser extent. Not to mention that it is Zhu Xuanqi who is the king of Shu. The mountain is high and the emperor is far away. The land is still very rich. There is no need to worry about whether you can afford to raise private soldiers.

But that's not the key question. The key is. Although Zhu Xuanqi did have private soldiers under his hands. But the number of private soldiers. It's just 2,000 people. Maybe it's on the Sichuan side. Two thousand private soldiers. Very well equipped. Trained. I already have the strength to be able to fight with the Royal Foresters. But at the end of the day. That's just 2,000 people. Only two thousand people. In the midst of such a big country. Vainly trying to subvert the regime. It's a fool's dream. Not to mention. Today's Ming Dynasty has turned around. This is even more impossible.

Of course. Maybe Zhu Xuanqi is secretly raising more soldiers and horses. However, this has proven to be impossible. Whether it is the news obtained by the ministers in the imperial court through various channels. Or the news found by investigative agencies like Dongchang and Jinyiwei. It's all true. Zhu Xuanqi's subordinates. In addition to these two thousand. There was no other power.

Other words. From this point of view. Anyway. Zhu Xuanqi also showed no signs of wanting to rebel. Since he, Zhu Xuanqi doesn't want to rebel. Then he did a good job as a happy prince. Why did you do such a thing to assassinate the emperor? This is simply an old birthday star hanging. It's tired and crooked. And. Zhu Xuanqi is arrogant and arrogant. But it's not the kind of person who lacks heart. So. As soon as the news came out. Some people know a little bit about the situation in the southwest. All of them don't believe it. I feel that this is nothing more than a deliberate fabrication by many people.

And those who believe in this statement. There is no evidence of this. But there's one thing they can tell. That's now. There were so many vassal kings in the dynasty. All of them wrote to clarify their innocence. But he is the only one who Zhu Xuanqi does not have. That's all. It's very suspicious.

Of course. This argument is actually untenable. After all, the southwest side is a little too far away from the capital. It will take a lot of time for the news to reach over there. And even the northwest side is not much closer than the southwest. Some are even further away. But the road over there is easier to walk. Li Taibai's Shu road is difficult. It's hard to get to the sky. This is not just an exaggeration for the sake of art. That's true.

So. A lot of people for this news. It's also a bit scoffing.

But. Not yet, when the shock of this news was flattened. Here's the news coming out again. It's even more shocking.

And this time. Although neither Jin Yiwei nor Zhang Fan personally made any official statement. But according to the rumors that circulated. This news came out of the brocade guards. That is. The killer was from Sichuan. It's on Qingcheng Mountain, not far from Chengdu.

Who in Chengdu can have a relationship with the emperor? There is only one Shuduan king, Zhu Xuanqi.

All of a sudden. It was really hilarious. Let's talk about the things that chased the wind and shadows at the beginning. Unconvincing. That's not a problem. But the question is. Now as soon as such news is released. But it makes people not know what to do. Especially those who at first felt that the previous news was nonsense. Those who think Zhu Xuanqi is innocent. All were stunned.

Especially. Although no one has been able to confirm whether this news is true or not. Jin Yiwei and Zhang Fan have never publicly said whether this is the case or not. But no one dared to say that the news was fake. After all. Zhang Fan also knew the news. And Zhang Fan, who knew the news. Facing inquiries from others. Didn't admit it. But there is no denial. That's what makes people understand. It seems that this news is indeed true.

It's very simple. This kind of thing. So significant. No matter how Zhang Fan is, it is impossible to point right and wrong. Other words. Now Zhang Fan is facing everyone's inquiries. Since he didn't deny it. Even if you don't admit it. But it also means that he has acquiesced.

Since Zhang Fan has been able to find out here. This news is indeed true. That is to say. This matter is absolutely inseparable from Zhu Xuanqi.

Of course. Those people who didn't believe that Zhu Xuanqi did it. Even if I was shocked by the news. But when they calm down and think. But I had another idea. They still don't think that this matter was done by Zhu Xuanqi. Quite possibly. This was done by someone else. and then planted it on Zhu Xuanqi. Even. The people who do it. There is no grudge with Zhu Yijun or Empress Dowager Li. This is just to frame Zhu Xuanqi.

Although these all make sense. But. There is one thing that is absolutely impossible to deny. That's it, no matter what the hell it is. must be related to Zhu Xuanqi. It is absolutely impossible to choose Zhu Xuanqi by chance. It just so happened that he planted it. In the eyes of these court ministers. There is absolutely no such coincidence in the world.

Other words. One way or another. Zhu Xuanqi can't get rid of it.

But. One thing that makes those who are still speaking for Zhu Xuanqi feel dangerous. That is, the assassin has not spoken until now.

If it is said to be a frame-up of Zhu Xuanqi. It shouldn't take long for the Assassin to speak. But now. He was tortured by Jinyiwei for nearly ten days. He didn't say a word. That's it. These people think it's a big problem. I'm afraid he's holding it up like this. There will be something they don't want to hear.

And for Zhang Fan. He didn't care about that anymore. Now he just needs to do his job step by step.
