Chapter 122 A Long Day
After the sun sets, every household in Chengdu Prefecture is emitting smoke from firewood and grass. However, the streets of Xishuncheng, the palace of the king of Shu, which had been silent for a time due to martial law of officers and soldiers, suddenly became noisy again. Hundreds of days of the officers and soldiers of the Tusi opened from the north gate and suddenly surrounded the Fushun Palace, which was not far from the Zunyi Gate. The Tusi officers and soldiers held torches and surrounded the Fushun Palace. Several eunuchs and palace maids who wanted to jump over the wall and leave the house were all cut by the Tusi officers and soldiers, and all the packages and property they carried were confiscated.
Half an hour later, another group of officers and soldiers came from the south. It is not like officers and soldiers, they are not wearing mandarin duck battle jackets, but they are all wearing gray placket jackets and pants; It would be wrong to say that they were not officers and soldiers, they were all seventeen, eighteen or nine, full of spirit, quick in action, with short spears in their hands, and some of them had waist knives hanging from their waists.
After a while, the gray-clothed officers and soldiers carried torches into the Fushun Palace, and soon escorted the people inside in strings. The escorted people wept and grabbed the ground, trying to kowtow to the officers and men and beg for mercy, but more than a dozen of them were tied together with ropes, and the officers and soldiers tried their best to urge them with knives and guns, and they did not even have a chance to stop. Fushun Palace, adjacent to Deyang Palace, is surrounded by authentic rich areas, either the palace or the official office, and the officers and soldiers have formed a blockade line, which makes many citizens who want to see the excitement regret when they hear the movement. The people who were escorted out of the Fushun Palace, were driven by the officers and soldiers to the north gate, and the people along the way who were lying on the roofs of their houses to watch the excitement were blessed. Seeing that the royal family members who had always flaunted their martial arts and might were in distress one by one, the people were excited, and in line with the principle of complaining and complaining, and fighting and bullying without complaints, stones and tiles flew out from the roofs on both sides of the street, smashing the heads of the criminal suspects who had nowhere to hide.
There is no need to report to God to deliver specific news, and the citizens of Chengdu Mansion can accurately guess that this Fushun Mansion is over. After dawn, more news came, and together with the Fushun Palace, there were some eunuchs and palace maids in the prince's courtyard, Liu Quanzhong, the palm print commander of the Left Guard Command Division, and other military attachés of the palace, in addition to more than a dozen Taoist priests in Qingyang Palace. The most shocking thing is that Concubine Liu, the most favored concubine of the prince of Shu, and the newborn little prince Zhu Pingqi were also arrested by officers and soldiers. And the reason for the arrest was even more explosive: the two national and heavenly concubines were fake. They don't have the surname Liu at all, and they are not women from good families!
Their real identities are nothing more than the daughters of a bitch who was bought and adopted by Liu Quanzhong, the commander of the guard, from which kiln!
Zhu Pingjin sat in the Xinuan Pavilion of the Shizi Mansion and took a nap, and he didn't sleep all night last night. The death of the king of Shu was expected, but the time of death and the reactions of all parties were unpredictable, so it was necessary to make preparations in all aspects, and then adjust them in a timely manner according to the changes of all parties. The situation was better than Zhu Pingjin expected, mainly thanks to Chen En.
According to Li Sixian, who was sent to supervise the trial, Chen En was frightened to pee before the red-hot soldering iron touched Chen En's belly. Then he began to confess, and he confessed incessantly, until the official in charge of the transcript told him to slow down. Chen En's confession of crimes began with his participation in the anti-GM conspiracy of King Fushun and ended with his discussion with Liu Quanzhong to deploy troops and horses in the royal city to prepare for the control of the princess and the prince if necessary. Everything is fierce material, and everything is a capital crime.
Chen En said that he originally wanted to be a slave in a proper manner, and after he died, he would be buried in the prince's mausoleum. But the father and son of Fushun first set up a trap to make his heir Chen Ji owe a large amount of gambling debts, and then controlled his heir in the name of helping Chen Ji repay the debt. After that, the father and son of Fushun Wang used money to corrupt the temptation and pulled him into the water step by step. At first, he only provided King Fushun with some information about the words and deeds of King Shu, and then he couldn't help but participate in the conspiracy of King Fushun's father and son.
Chen En confessed that the main members of the Fushun Wang's anti-GM conspiracy and crime group were: Zhu Zhishen, the king of Fushun, Zhu Pingwei, the eldest son of the king of Fushun, Liu Renfang, the first Chengdu Xiucai, and his heir Chen Ji. The criminal idea of the criminal group is to try their best to cultivate the power of Liu Quanzhong, the commander of the palace guard, and help him to sacrifice gold and jade and beautiful women to consolidate his favor. and then used Liu Quanzhong's expanding ambition to provoke the relationship between the king of Shu and the princess, so that their husband and wife turned against each other, and the father and son became enemies.
The anti-GM conspiracy criminal group of King Fushun judged that with the tense relationship between the king of Shu and the princess for many years, as long as the king of Shu claimed to abolish the princess, with the character of the princess and the strength of the prince, she and the prince would definitely take extraordinary actions to save the situation. In this way, King Fushun can seize the opportunity to ascend to the throne. Whether it is the abolition of the king of Shu or the abolition of the prince, it is a great victory for the cabal. If Zhu Zhishu, the king of Shu, is deposed, the replacement must be Zhu Zhishen, the king of Fushun, who is also his son-in-law; If the prince Zhu Pingjin is deposed, the second prince Zhu Pingjian will be succeeded by the second prince. But Zhu Pingzhuan has a long life, and he can't live long, so the position of the prince will eventually fall to Zhu Pingqi, the son of Concubine Liu. At this time, the father and son of King Fushun will suddenly announce an ironclad evidence: Concubine Liu is not Liu Jinzhong's sister-in-law, and she is not even a woman from a good family. They are just prostitutes!
How can the son of a prostitute ascend to the throne? When the time comes, there will be a sudden attack, causing an uproar in the world, which will catch Liu Duzhong off guard.
This poison plan was offered by Liu Renfang, and its name said: Praying mantis catches cicadas, and yellow finches are behind.
In addition, the Fushun Wang Conspiracy has left a more insidious backhand. That is to collude with the Jinding Dao people of Qingyang Palace, and deliberately add excessive dansha to the pill, so that the king of Shu, who is addicted to Jindan, is chronically poisoned. Chen En once heard the Jinding Taoist say in front of Zhu Pingyu, the eldest son of the king of Fushun, adding an excessive amount of dansha, the color of the pill is red and bright, and then adding aphrodisiacs and other things to help the fun, the king of Shu will be happy. Five grains a year, every year, within three years, the king of Shu will be sick, and within five years he will vomit blood and die.
The trial admitted, and the untried also admitted, but there was only one thing that Chen En did not admit to it, and that was the matter of taking the medicine in Jindan. Governor Li received Futai's instructions before the trial, and immediately waited for the big punishment, but Chen En was burned to the point that he had no good meat on his body, and he couldn't bear the punishment, so he had to say that after the brocade box was put away, he left the custody of people for about a quarter of an hour. When he left, he saw Xiao Guizi, the eunuch in front of Concubine Liu, wandering around, probably poisoned by Xiao Guizi.
After the trial of Xiao Guizi, Governor Li fully learned the lessons of Chen En's trial. After the trial started, he didn't say a word, first hung Xiao Guizi up and took off his pants, everyone observed carefully, and then a whip dipped in water and whipped violently, and Xiao Guizi was crying dad and calling mother. After these preparations were completed, the interrogation was carried out slowly:
"Did you put powder in the pill? Just admit it honestly and let you out immediately! ”
"Yes...... Be! Please, sir, let me out, don't ......."
"Good! Answer one more question well, as long as you honestly admit that it was Concubine Liu who asked you to let it go, let you out immediately! ”
"They told me to let it go! They asked me to put it!! Your Excellency, you can let me out, don't you ......"
"Good! Press the mudra! Draw a charge! ”
At this point in the trial, Liao Daheng no longer has the need to continue to sit in the palace of the other garden. The fate of all the people involved, including the father and son of King Fushun, Liu Quanzhong and Concubine Liu's mother and son, has been doomed. No one would try to rescue them, not even the prince and the princess. He left behind the envoy and the officials of the Changshi Division, and went home to sleep in a sedan chair.
Zhu Pingjin went to the palace with his front foot, and the prince returned to heaven with his back foot, is it really so coincidental in this world?
Who is the biggest beneficiary of the death of the prince, it is Zhu Pingjin!
Before the prince died, Zhu Pingjin's caravan had already been mobilized, and the Tianquan Tusi soldiers even completely controlled the north gate in the name of changing guards!
All of this, what does it mean?
A bolt of lightning split in Liao Tycoon's mind, and the human head on the fireworks stand dangled in front of his eyes.
It must be so! Zhu Pingjin deceived everyone, including Governor Li, who is known as a detective!
Liao Daheng opened his eyes suddenly. The dancing sedan curtain in front of him reminded him that this was the difference between the real world and the imaginary world.
People who don't think nonsense live long! No one believes this matter when it comes out on its own, and it doesn't do me any good! It is a foregone conclusion that the results of the trial will be reported to the imperial court!
He returned the good deeds of the raid of the Fushun palace to Zhu Pingjin, and pretended to be deaf and dumb about the wanton mobilization of the caravan, he should understand the signal he sent politically. In the funeral documents to the imperial court, Zhu Pingjin would say a few good words to himself, and at least one evaluation of the word "can" was indispensable.
What I should really pay attention to is how to cooperate with Zhu Pingjin in the future. Zhu Pingjin is not his dead father, he is a lord who is unwilling to be lonely. Now that the world is in turmoil, Sichuan has just taken a breather, and perhaps an even greater crisis is yet to come. He is a native of Yunnan, neither the Qi Party, the Chu Party, nor the Donglin Party, nor the Eunuch Party, and belongs to a marginal person in the imperial court. The position of the governor of Sichuan is like a volcanic crater, and he may be taken by the cavalry (TI) that day, and he will end up with Shao Jiechun. In front of the moody emperor, without a strong political backer, no matter how big this official is, he is vulnerable.
If you receive a penny of silver for an acre of donated farmland, do you lose or earn it?
For the first time since the two sides reached a secret agreement, Liao became confused.
The longest day, Zhu Pingjin thought.
He stood up from behind his desk and walked into the bedroom at the back of the East Pavilion. What is extremely incommensurate with the magnificent palace is that his bedroom is not big, only about twelve or thirteen square meters, which is about the same as the bedroom between him and Luo Yuhong in his previous life. A queen-size bed with dressing room and bathroom takes up more than half of the bedroom.
Zhu Pingjin once asked the eunuchs in the house, why is the bedroom so small? The eunuch said, the bedroom should inhale yang energy, the bigger it is, the more powerful it is, don't you know? Zhu Pingjin really didn't know. At that time, he thought that feudal superstition killed people.
Once a person is in a state of excitement, it is difficult to fall asleep quickly. Zhu Pingjin threw himself on the big bed, sleepy, but still couldn't sleep.
The purpose of Liao Daheng's large-scale coercing of confessions is nothing more than to clear his responsibilities and keep his black yarn.
If the king of Shu was killed by thieves and rebellious people, Liao Daheng was afraid that there was only one way to hang himself because of his ineffective protection of his relatives. But if the king of Shu was murdered by his own brother or the person next to him, it can only be explained by the madness of some people. Liao Daheng was neither responsible for the internal security of the palace, nor could he manage the women around the prince, so the courtiers would not impeach him for this, at most it would be a reprimand or a punishment.
Liao Daheng did this, it was only good for Zhu Pingjin, and there was no harm. Sooner or later, the Shu Wangfu will have to be cleaned up on a large scale, and if it is not cleaned up, it is guaranteed that he will be killed by these messy people around him in the future. Liu Fatzi's finish can allow Zhu Pingjin to smoothly put his hand into the left guard of the palace. According to the standard establishment of the Ming Dynasty, a guard has 5,600 soldiers, and the strength is close to a brigade or a reinforced regiment in his previous life. With the addition of their own caravans and villages, the number of troops under control can reach 10,000 people. The fall of King Fushun was both expected and unexpected. The King of Shu and the brothers of the King of Fushun have been at odds for many years, and the conflict will break out sooner or later. This abscess squeezed out, in addition to leaving tens of thousands of acres of farmland and hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, it can also greatly deter those county kings and clans with different aspirations. Only by integrating the power of the Shu clan can he make his own power stronger.
I didn't have a father in my previous life, and I don't have a father in this era, but fortunately, I still have a mother who loves me very much and a wife who pesters me to get married. Zhu Pingjin suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and his eyes were a little moist.
However, an era that truly belongs to you has finally arrived!
The palace lights outside the prince's mansion flickered, and from time to time there were the wails of the eunuchs and palace maids and the scolding of the soldiers.
But these have nothing to do with Zhu Pingjian. He rolled around on the big bed several times, and finally couldn't stop the deep sleepiness and fell into a deep sleep.
