I came to Youzhou for three months, and most of the time was spent resting and sleeping...... Zhao Shu's condition has been alleviated, but the illness has come and gone, and the recovery is obviously not so fast.

In the past three months, Zhao Shu didn't read any news, just lay down with peace of mind, read a little relaxing article at most, and listen to music.

Isolated from all distractions, the emperor finally didn't have to worry about it...... It's just that this time the news can't be hidden from Zhao Shu, it was sent by Gouya'er personally.

He gritted his teeth, glared, and was filled with rage.

"Ahh

He scolded, Zhao Shu curiously took the newspaper and read it from the beginning, and his fingers trembled.

After closing his eyes and thinking for a long time, he finally remembered before and after he was plotted...... When he recovered, he was ready to take the prince to Furong Mansion to fulfill his original promise.

This was an ordinary thing, but it became an opportunity for some people to plot against him.

Because the emperor and the crown prince were on patrol, it was natural for the Ministry of Rites to be responsible for the process arrangement, and Feng Jing naturally had the power to arrange it...... He carefully planned to let Zhao Shu and Zhao Ji have a hearty and happy time.

With interest, of course, the emperor was not willing to leave easily, but asked if there was anything else interesting, this is human nature, as a person who has not yet reached the age of establishment, Zhao Shu is also very interesting.

At this time, the official in charge of accompanying the company took the opportunity to put forward, saying that the scenery of Jinshan is excellent, the temple is effective, you can worship the Buddha, you can see the river view, and the good words are a basket, which naturally attracts the emperor to go over.

When they reached Jinshan, they suggested that the water depth was too shallow for large ships.

Jinshan was close at hand, of course Zhao Shu couldn't give up halfway, he immediately agreed to change to a small boat to go to Jinshan...... As a result, the ship sank, and the ships of the forbidden army could not rescue him, so he was thrown into the river, almost lost his life for almost a quarter of an hour, and even poisoned the ship...... All this is unnoticed.

At the time, I thought there was nothing wrong with it, but it was just a coincidence.

Looking back now, there are traps everywhere, and it is simply deliberate and well-intentioned!

Thinking of the excitement, Zhao Shu coughed again, his face turned red, and the green tendons on his neck were tensed.

"Your Majesty, my father has already started to deal with this case, none of the rebellious ministers and thieves involved in it can escape, we must destroy their nine clans and let them know the consequences of killing the king!" Dogtooth was filled with righteous indignation.

Zhao Shu nodded slightly, "With the master here, of course this case can be investigated clearly...... But, I'm worried! ”

"What is Your Majesty worried about?"

"Hey...... Since ancient times, the emperor has been a lonely man, and the blood has been passed down from generation to generation, the good and the bad are uneven, how can he win over thousands of people by relying on the wisdom of one person. They want to calculate the emperor, it's too easy, unconsciously, they fell into the trap, they don't even know how to lose their lives, I am like this, the emperor will not be able to escape this fate in the future, I, I can't help but worry! ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Shu's face became more and more pale.

Gouya'er immediately said: "Your Majesty's worries are reasonable, but the minister thinks that Your Majesty is not alone!" ”

"Isn't it?"

"Of course!" Dog Ya'er slapped his chest, "At least the minister, there are so many brothers in the forbidden army who are loyal to Your Majesty...... This time, His Majesty was plotted because of poor precautions. I have ordered that loyal and shrewd soldiers be selected from the army and formed into internal guards to protect His Majesty's safety. ”

"These people must be innocent, without any flaws, and loyal and shrewd...... Your Majesty's future itinerary must be kept strictly confidential, and they must be responsible for checking the places they pass, and the water they drink, the food they eat, the chairs they sit on, and the beds they sleep on must be checked repeatedly......"

Gouya'er talked about hundreds of norms in one breath, all of which were how to protect the emperor's safety.

Zhao Shu listened to it in his heart, warmly, it seems that he is really attentive, the emperor's safety, of course, must be foolproof, and then if he wants to plot against Zhao Shu, it will not be so easy.

But the road is one foot high, and no matter how strict the precautions are, there will always be loopholes.

As the days go by, the water drops wear through the stones, and it is inevitable that they will not be calculated.

What can be done to be truly safe?

Zhao Shu is a very thoughtful person, which also has something to do with his growth, after all, his father died early, and he was at odds with his mother, he has always been very insecure, even if he has the assistance of a teacher, he can't change his problem. Otherwise, it wouldn't have hurt his mind and almost killed him.

For the first time, he had insomnia, and no matter what, he couldn't sleep.

Boredom, Zhao Shu suddenly found a stack of books on the bedside, and casually pulled out a copy of the Tao Te Ching.

Lao Tzu's 5,000 words have exhausted the wisdom of the world, and he is definitely the first of all scriptures, incomparable...... Zhao Shu looked at it, more and more attracted by the proverbs in the book, and when he read a sentence, he couldn't help but read it: "It is the saint who comes before the body, and the body outside the body." Isn't it because of its selflessness? Therefore, it can become its own selfishness. ”

"After the body is the first, the outside is the body, and the body is ......" Zhao Shu read it three times, as if he had an understanding, and his frowning brows relaxed, but then he wrinkled again.

"Indeed...... As long as the power is released, it will not be calculated, but where does the emperor's duty go? Kyushu Wanfang, hundreds of millions of Li people, who is in charge of them? ”

Zhao Shu was entangled...... On the other side of the capital, it was a quick knife to cut through the mess, and without Wang Ning'an's order, Lu Huiqing's gang did it directly, they arrested the officials of the two southeastern provinces and stuffed them directly into the prison.

At first, these people were all dead ducks with hard mouths and were reluctant to speak.

Lu Huiqing was not in a hurry, he ordered a strict investigation, and it didn't take long for him to come up with a lot of black information.

There are those who are greedy for ink, there are those who pervert the law, and there are those who disregard people's lives...... He put a mountain of guilt in front of them.

If you don't confess, the court can kill you with these crimes, and you can even destroy the whole door, and there is no luck at all. But if he confessed, although it was a major case of killing the king, he was an accomplice after all, and many people did not know that he was plotting against the emperor at that time, although he could save his life, or at least protect his family...... Where to go, make your own choice!

Lu Huiqing is ruthless enough, and Han Zongwu is also an old criminal, usually honest, but at the critical moment, he is also a bad stomach, and he was actually found by the criminal's family.

See each other regularly every day, gray-haired parents, children who have not grown up, and delicate and beautiful wives...... Crying in turns, even if it is an iron beater, the heart is broken.

Within ten days, a few people with weak willpower spoke...... Among them, Gan Gongjin, the squire of the military department, explained the most content.

"As a squire of the military department, during Your Majesty's stay in the Suzhou Palace, although the safety is the responsibility of the forbidden army, but the periphery is still local people, arranged by your military department, and you are also responsible for the sailor ships, Your Majesty fell into the water, such a big matter, can you clear the relationship?"

Han Zongwu said: "Your family is opposite, your pair of children are only ten years old, you are willing to bear the crime, it will be the disaster of destruction immediately, if you are willing to confess, maybe you can save their lives, you don't want to cut off your children and grandchildren, right?" ”

"You, you!" Gan Gongjin blew his beard and stared, helpless for a long time, like a deflated ball.

"I, I did get some news, but, but I really don't know, it's a murderer!" He looked up, tears streaming down his face, "If I knew, I wouldn't have dared to do it!" ”

"I believe that what you said is true, but who is the person who instructed you is from the truth!"

"Yes, it's Feng Shilang!"

"Feng Jing?"

"Hmm!"

"But he said he didn't know anything, do you think you want to confront him?"

Gan Gongjin was stunned for a moment and shook his head, "Lord Han, there is a letter sewn in my daughter's clothes, which I left for her to save her life, it is Feng Jing's handwriting, he ordered me to burn it, but I didn't, I didn't dare to ......"

Han Zongwu snorted, "What a dare!" So, you know it's a big deal? If you dare to follow him, aren't you afraid? ”

"Ahh

Gan Gongjin's face changed, obviously realizing that he had lost his words, and he wanted to defend himself, but Han Zongwu didn't give him a chance.

"It's just Feng Jing, it's just the same level as you, he definitely doesn't have the guts, and he doesn't have the ability, he can thread the needle, but he is not the mastermind behind it!"

Han Zongwu said even more sharply: "Who is it?" Who gave you orders? ”

"I, I don't know!"

He shook his head hurriedly, his eyes full of trepidation.

Han Zongwu sneered: "If you don't recruit this official, you can also find out, come on, first find out the letter to this official!" ”

A jailer passed, and after a short time, he found a secret letter from Gan Gongjin's daughter's small jacket, although it was not titled or signed, but the handwriting on it was not recognized by few people!

"Hahaha, it's really the hand of Sanyuan Feng Jing!"

Han Zongwu smiled coldly at Gan Gongjin, "It's not too late for you to confess now, in case Feng Jing confesses, even if this official wants to protect you, he won't be able to keep it!" ”

"Ahh

At this moment, Gan Gongjin's face was pale, and the corners of his mouth moved, but he didn't open his mouth in the end.

Of course, Han Zongwu was aware of Gan Gongjin's situation, but he didn't want to bother with it now, so he went directly to Feng Jing......

"Feng Zhuangyuan, this is your handiwork, right?"

Han Zongwu held up the secret letter, Feng Jing glanced at it, and immediately shook his head, "You don't frame me with messy things, I haven't done it at all!" ”

His mouth was very hard, but Han Zongwu found that the corners of his mouth twitched twice when he showed the secret letter, obviously very weak.

"You don't want to confess now, or it won't be long before the official will let you take the initiative to speak."

Han Zongwu returned to the Criminal Department, and it happened that Zhang Dian was waiting here.

"How's it going, found out?"

Han Zongwu said with a calm face: "Now Gan Gongjin and Feng Jingjing are a little unable to bear the pressure, but if they want to pry their mouths open, there is still some heat left. ”

Zhang Dian laughed, "I'm just sending pressure to you." ”

"Oh, Brother Zihou got the evidence?"

"Hmm!"

Zhang Dian said: "Our procuratorate is different from the criminal department, you are focusing on criminal names, and we are concentrating on economic ...... You see, this is the situation of all my account transactions with Feng Jing...... I found out that he had a large sum of money that had been remitted from the Western Regions. ”

"The Western Regions?"

"Well, it's almost 200,000 taels of gold!"

"Huh? So much? Han Zongwu was taken aback, "Brother Zihou, could it be that this money is the commission for killing His Majesty?" ”

"Quite possibly!" Zhang Dian narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "I can afford so much money, and I am from the Western Regions, but there are not many people!" Several names flashed in front of his eyes at once......
