Chapter 900: Open the coffin for autopsy
Pei Yun felt that Da Xi Changru's reaction was different, so he ordered the guards to escort Da Xi Changru outside the conference hall first, strictly guarded him, and reminded Yang Guangdao: "Lord Wang, please be cautious, the lower officials are only afraid that the death of King Qin has another hidden reason." ”
Yang Guangzhen was furious, and ordered someone to tie up Da Xi Changru, at this time, after being reminded by Pei Yun, remembering that Wang Shichong was still waiting in the government office at this time, he nodded at Pei Yun, and ordered Wang Shichong to come in and ask.
Wang Shichong came to the conference hall and saluted Yang Guang, and without waiting for Yang Guang to ask, he took the initiative to say: "If the prince wants to find out the cause of King Qin's death, he still needs to ask Princess Qin." This matter has nothing to do with Da Xi Changru, so I beg the prince to let him go. ”
Yang Guang saw that Wang Shichong had something to say, so he asked him coldly: "Wang Shichong, listening to what you mean, it seems to imply that this king, King Qin's death is related to Princess Qin?" What proof do you have for this? ”
Wang Shichong calmly hugged his fist to Yang Guang and replied: "Lord Wang, please think about it, the sudden death of King Qin was originally sent by Princess Qin to inform the subordinates of the Qinzhou Governor's Office, and without verifying the cause of King Qin's death, he was not allowed to go to examine the body and hastily put it in the coffin, just for this reason. No one would have imagined that King Qin really died of a sudden illness. ”
Pei Yun interjected and asked, "As you said, why is Fang Caida Xi Changru willing to be bound and not tell the truth to the prince?" ”
"General Da Xi is a righteous man and a gentleman, and he has no real evidence, and he is unwilling to pass the buck to others."
"To tell you the truth, this king has just visited Princess Qin, and has not found any abnormal behavior from her, Wang Shichong, as a subordinate of King Qin, you dare to frame Princess Qin and kill King Qin, are you tired of living?" Yang Guang "snapped" a few cases, and shouted angrily at Wang Shichong.
"At present, if the prince wants to find out the real cause of King Qin's death, it is not difficult, just open the coffin for an autopsy, and the truth of King Qin's death can be revealed to the world. If the coffin is opened and the autopsy is found, King Qin did die of a sudden illness, and the prince will be at his disposal, and he will never be wronged! Wang Shichong's face was fearless and replied strongly.
Yang Guang was agitated by Wang Shichong, and immediately ordered someone to open the coffin for an autopsy to find out the real cause of Yang Jun's death, but was stopped by Pei Yun.
"Lord Wang, instead of opening the coffin in Qinzhou for an autopsy, according to the opinion of the lower officials, it is better to bring this Wang Shichong back to Chang'an and hand it over to the emperor to decide whether to open the coffin for an autopsy, which is more secure."
Yang Guang heard Pei Yun say this, which was similar to the meaning of his father Yang Jian's explanation before he left, so he dispelled the idea of opening the coffin in Qinzhou overnight for an autopsy, and ordered Sima of the Qinzhou Governor's Mansion to temporarily take charge of government affairs, and returned to Chang'an with the coffin containing Yang Jun's body early the next morning, and the Qin princess Cui's family, Daxi Changru, Wang Shichong and other personnel related to Yang Jun's death.
Yang Guang went and returned, and it took less than two days to return to Chang'an with a group of related people and Yang Jun's body, Yang Jian received the report, immediately put down the official business at hand, and met Yang Guang in the Linde Palace.
Yang Guang then reported the details of his trip to Qinzhou to Yang Jianyu, and said: "Wang Shichong, who is currently in the Qinzhou Governor's Office, alleged to his sons that the death of King Qin was related to Princess Qin, and suggested that the coffin be opened for autopsy to find out the truth. The sons and daughters were instructed by their fathers and emperors to make decisions without permission, and now they have brought the Qin princess Cui's family, Daxi Changru, Wang Shichong and other related people, as well as the body of the king of Qin, back to Chang'an, handed over to the father and emperor to decide, and sent down. ”
After hearing this, Yang Jian couldn't help but hesitate: although it is possible to find out the cause of Yang Jun's death immediately and find out the real murderer, if Dugu knows that her son will be opened for an autopsy after his death in the future, he will not be at peace, but he is afraid that he will cause considerable trouble and complaints; If the coffin is not opened for autopsy, from the bottom of his heart, Yang Jian feels that he can't stand Yang Jun, and it is difficult to unknowably release Daxi Changru, Wang Shichong and others who have been kidnapped by Yang Guang to Chang'an.
Seeing this situation, Yang Guang guessed the concerns and hesitations in his father's heart, so he suggested to Yang Jian: "If your father feels embarrassed, it is better to leave this matter to his sons." ”
"It's nothing more than that you can't open the coffin, what better way do you have?" Yang Jian shook his head and muttered.
"The sons have their own methods, please rest assured."
"If you really need to open the coffin for an autopsy before you can find out the cause of Yang Jun's death, Ah Zong, you listen to your father's advice, and this matter will be handed over to Dali Temple by your father." Yang Jian didn't know what to think about, so he persuaded Yang Guangdao in turn.
"Perhaps, you don't need to open the coffin to find out the truth. Father, since the son has taken over this mission, it is better for the son to finish the mission. Yang Guang had already made up his mind in his heart, and insisted on asking Yang Jian.
Yang Jian looked at Yang Guang suspiciously, nodded slightly, and then told him: "This matter must be carried out in secret, and you must not let your mother know the news." ”
Yang Guang saw that his father was so worried that his mother knew about Yang Jun's death, and he couldn't help but think in his heart: Mother is not as fragile as you think, maybe after she learns the details, she will immediately order someone to open the coffin for an autopsy, find out the truth, and avenge Yang Jun.
Although he thought so in his heart, he verbally promised Yang Jian, promising that he would definitely act cautiously and never let Dugu learn of Yang Jun's death.
Pei Yun learned that Yang Guang had brought back the envoy he had handed over, and couldn't help but be anxious, and reminded Yang Guang: "Lord Wang, you have to deal with this matter carefully." Once the coffin is opened for an autopsy and the real cause of King Qin's death is found in your hands, you will invisibly offend not only the princes including the crown prince, the king of Shu, and the king of Han, but also the high-ranking families in the world headed by the Boling Cui family. ”
Listening to Pei Yun say that the consequences of this matter were so serious, Yang Guangcai vaguely realized why his father was unwilling to hand over the matter of presiding over the coffin opening and autopsy to himself.
But the matter has come to this point, and it is impossible to regret it, but fortunately, according to Yang Guang's assumption, more than half of Pei Yun's worries will be superfluous. Therefore, Yang Guang immediately ordered to temporarily park the coffin containing Yang Jun's body in the forbidden palace of the ancient city of Chang'an, and specially led Pei Yun, Guo Yan and others on the evening of the next day after returning to Chang'an, including the princess of Qin, Cui, Daxi Changru, Wang Shichong and others to the forbidden palace of the ancient city of Chang'an, pointed to the coffin parked in the courtyard of the forbidden palace, and announced to everyone that the coffin would be opened tonight for an autopsy to find out the real cause of death of Yang Jun, the king of Qin.
At first, Cui Shi seemed to see through Yang Guang's deception, although he was crying, but he did not step forward to stop him, until Yang Guang gave an order, more than a dozen guards of the Jin Palace's mansion stepped forward to open the coffin with pickaxes to open the coffin, Cui Shi couldn't bear the great pressure, and rushed forward crying, desperately trying to stop the guards from opening the coffin.
