"The grass people are called Yu Youshan, fifty-six years old, and a native of Baoanzhou. At the beginning, the grass people were brought to Zhuolu Mountain with more than 20 other craftsmen and nearly 100 helpers, and from the end of February, it took several months to build the palace. ”

Yu Youshan knelt on the ground, his body was trembling slightly, but his mouth was quite neat, and after a confession, Zhu Qiming was a little shocked when he heard it.

Wulong's yin and yang strange voice sounded in the hall: "This is what happened that year?" ”

"The grass people are a little confused, it seems like a year ago, and it seems like two years ago."

Wu Long seemed to have a plan, and he was not in a hurry to determine the specific start time, and he smiled widely, "Two years ago, His Royal Highness King Yue was in Zhuolu Mountain, if it was a year ago, His Royal Highness King Yue was training troops in the suburbs of Beijing." ”

There can only be one point in time to build the palace, but Wu Long uses two points in time to talk about things, and every word is throwing knives! Zhu Qiming was quite puzzled, thinking that Wulong tightened the strings, and seemed to have forgotten the truth that rigidity is easy to break.

The emperor swept his eyes towards Yu Youshan, "What year is it?" ”

Yu Youshan shuddered, and his upper body fell to the ground, "The grass people remembered, it was two years ago. ”

"Two years ago?" The emperor sighed for a while, and said slowly: "Two years ago, King Yue was on the side of Zhuolu Mountain, and this is closed." ”

Wu Long's gaze swept to the young man, "Don't tell me everything you know!" ”

The young man looked very calm, and straightened his upper body after a pause, "The little one is called Su Geng, twenty-one years old." The small is the subordinate of Yun Niang, the heroine of the rivers and lakes, the year before last, the young followed Yun Niang, and met His Royal Highness King Yue several times, the last time was in the area of Zhuolu Mountain, when I heard Yun Niang persuade King Yue to enter Zhuolu Mountain, and also talked about the place of 'leaving the palace', yes, Yun Niang did mention leaving the palace in front of King Yue! Since then, Xiao has never seen His Royal Highness King Yue again, and I don't know where His Royal Highness King Yue went. ”

Yun Niang's subordinates? Zhu Qiming looked at Su Geng for a while, and could almost conclude that he was the dead soldier under Yun Niang, but people left the tea cool, Su Geng left Yun Niang for less than two years, and chose a new master, and also called Yun Niang a heroine, concealed her identity as the master of Jinyun Pavilion, and singled out Zhu Qiming's unfavorable keywords to say things, it is obvious that Su Geng has been bought!

Wu Long turned to face the imperial platform, "Your Majesty, Su Geng said that Yun Niang had seen His Royal Highness King Yue three years ago, and mentioned leaving the palace, as for whether King Yue hid in Zhuolu Mountain to build a palace after that, it was rumored that Yun Niang would know as soon as he asked." It is said that Yun Niang is in Yue Fu. ”

The emperor stared at Zhu Qiming for a long time, but did not speak.

"Your Majesty, the male should get married, the female should get married, Yun Niang and the commander of the Yuefu Guard Army sent Liang Gang to Liang Gang's hometown to get married, Liang Gang has taken leave for this matter, and the military department and the five armies have a record to be checked." Zhu Qiming said indifferently.

"What a coincidence!" Wu Long muttered, and a pair of eyes stared straight at Zhu Qiming, with the word tsundere hanging in it.

The emperor suddenly changed the topic: "King Yue, there are rumors that on your way back to Beijing from the northern expedition, you were postponed for some reason, and you were not seen for a few days. Where exactly have you been? ”

Over there, Wu Long's body bowed slightly, "Your Majesty, this matter is passed on to the pro-guards and Yuefu guards who participated in the war for interrogation." ”

Things have come to this point, and it is difficult for Zhu Qiming to take it calmly. Don't be resentful, the voice of the emperor's grandmother's admonition is still in your ears! Besides, the emperor must not know that there is another owner in the palace, otherwise, the emperor will definitely not let this flame that will eventually spread to the body of King Yu rise on the temple. All the troubles stem from the instructions of the mastermind behind the scenes and the deliberate provocation of traitors among the internal and external officials, and the leader of them is Wulong!

At this moment, it is not difficult to prove one's innocence, and there are many people who can come forward to testify where they have gone and where they live. The scheming Sheng Qianhu should be excluded for the time being, in addition to Sheng Qianhu, there are also Aunt Fang, Yun Niang, Xu Gong, Liang Gang, Niu San, Jiang Yi······ However, looking at this long list, Zhu Qiming could not be calm, and pulled all the people who followed him from birth to death into the whirlpool, and invisibly printed them with a label of "Yue Wang Party Members", which is a stupid move!

What's more, Wulong's intentions must not be overlooked. Does Wulong have another intention? That is to force him, the prince, to betray the true master of the palace in order to protect himself! Once he betrays Fu'an Palace, he is afraid that he will become enemies with Concubine Wu, and the Empress Dowager will deepen rather than weaken her suspicion of herself, if this is the case, how can she gain a foothold in the Forbidden City!

In the final analysis, all troubles are caused by the emperor! Maybe Wulong has settled on the emperor and knows that it is not possible to talk about the king of Yu in the emperor, and there is still some market for talking about him, the king of Yue. The emperor has never been suspicious of King Yu, but his suspicion of him, the king of Yue, has been lurking in his mind, and he will come out from time to time due to the turmoil of others.

Don't be resentful, but you can't compromise either! Zhu Qiming bowed to the emperor very respectfully. "Your Majesty, the minister thinks it is unfair! In the first month of the first year of orthodoxy, the minister was assassinated, and then captured by the Warat people, and went through a lot of hardships on the way back to Beijing, and was repeatedly chased and killed by thieves, who is the culprit behind it? In this regard, the court has not yet given the minister an explanation, but now with a false legend of leaving the palace, the minister has made half of the guilty body! The minister dared to ask His Majesty, did His Majesty want the minister to do something in the first place, or was the traitor possessed by a demon, so that he could be deceived by nonsense alone? ”

The smile on Wu Long's face immediately froze, Wang Zhen's eyes became lively, and the emperor was shocked and stood up straight.

"What do I want you to do? Licentious! From the day you were assassinated, I ordered the Jinyi Guard to track down the culprit with all my might, and the holy decrees were placed there in black and white, don't you know? Jinyi Wei investigated to no avail, and I was also very troubled by this, I had left your business behind! ”

Zhu Qiming paused, "In the three or four years of orthodoxy, the minister wandered in the area of Zhuolu Mountain, only a stone's throw away from the capital, but the minister was still forgotten in the rivers and lakes. ”

"Good! Finally speaking your heart. The emperor's voice was very high, but his face gradually softened, "It's not that I don't want to tell you about some of the past, but I really don't want to bring up the old things again!" Do you think I was reluctant to send a large army to find your whereabouts and escort you back to Beijing? I'm here for your good! At that time, there were rumors in Beijing that Yuefu, Weifu and Beijing military had private exchanges, this is what you know, what you don't know is that the defenders of the town border city intercepted two secret letters of Warat, one for Yuefu and one for Weifu, and the main reason for the ban of the two provinces stemmed from this! ”

The Varat Secret Letter? Why didn't the emperor's grandmother, Yang Pu and others mention it? Zhu Qiming's heart was shocked, and his brain was in a trance for a moment.

When the emperor took his seat, his face completely softened, and he seemed to have forgotten the original intention of setting up a hall in the Qianqing Palace. "You have become a hostage at the hands of the Warat people, and the Yuefu and Weifu have been trapped by the rumors of personal friendship with the Beijing army, if the two provinces are really secretly communicating with the Warat people, what does this mean to Jiangshan Sheji, I must not say that you also understand, I can't help but make the worst assumptions, in other words, at that time, Yuefu and Weifu may face annihilation at any time! At that time, is it a good thing to find you back in Beijing! ”

The emperor's face was cold again, "Although I am young and persecuted by the auxiliary ministers, I also know how to measure proportions, and I did not do things absolutely, only let the two governments be banned, but secretly I am sending people to screen the authenticity of the secret letter, find out the ins and outs of the things mentioned in the secret letter, and successively find that most of the statements on the secret letter are nonsense, plus the envoys of Warat flatly denied that there was such a secret letter, so I issued an order to lift the ban on the Yue Mansion and the Wei Mansion, but unfortunately, the court took more than a year before and after, and when the dust settled, King Wei Gong had died without a problem, King Yue Jing has died of illness, and every time I think about it, my heart is also very uncomfortable, but you actually took a bite of my hard work in vain, and I felt cold here! ”

"In this way, there were thieves chasing and killing ministers at that time, and some people in the court suspected that it was the Warat people, so they set up a suspicious array?"

"The situation at that time was indeed very suspicious, and I can't treat social affairs as child's play!"

There are still deep doubts in my heart, that Sheng Qianhu with a mysterious color must know the past of the secret letter, perhaps, it is not difficult to solve the mystery from him! As soon as he thought of this, Zhu Qiming didn't want to say anything more.

There was a brief silence in the hall, and Wu Long's eyes lit up again, as if he didn't want the silence to last. "Your Majesty, King Yue must make the matter of leaving the palace clear."

Zhu Qiming swept his eyes at Wulong angrily, "Wulong, this king has never heard that there is a palace in this world!" You are an internal official, and you don't leave the inner court on weekdays, how do you know that there is a palace in the world? You are leaving the palace when you open and close your mouth, so where is the palace? What is it? You might as well tell the king! ”

Wu Long was stunned for a moment, and muttered, "Didn't someone go to check the address of the palace?" ”

The emperor turned his eyes to Wang Zhen, "Sir, has the Jinyi guard sent to Zhuolu Mountain returned to Beijing?" ”

"Back to the emperor, they have returned to Beijing, and they are waiting outside the Qianqing Gate at the moment."

The emperor waved his hand, and Wang Zhen immediately said in a loud voice: "Chuan Jinyi Guard commands Ma Shun to meet him!" ”

The ministers inside and outside the hall sang this decree all the way, and after a while, the sound fell outside the Qianqing Gate.

After the sound stopped, the inner room sounded the questioning voice of Jingci Immortal Master: "Whether there is a departure from the palace in the world, this matter has not yet been verified, and the Qianqing Palace is set up to interrogate, isn't this the first to determine that King Yue is in trouble, and then take out the so-called evidence one by one?" The dignified prince was treated like this by an internal official, and he really wanted to add to ·······" The words in the back are too sensitive, and Immortal Master Jing Ci can't say them anyway.

Wu Long's arrogance was gone, and there seemed to be a nervous look on his face. On the royal platform, a trace of embarrassment flashed in the emperor's eyes.

At this time, Ma Shun quickly walked into the hall and stepped forward to salute, "Jinyi Wei commanded Ma Shun to knock on Your Majesty." The minister was ordered to lead people to Zhuolu Mountain, according to the ······ The map provided by Youshan searched repeatedly for several days, and only found a temple on the marked address, and there were dozens of monks inside. ”

Temple! I saw Wu Long's eyes glare, and his face suddenly turned like ashes.

In the inner room, there were two voices from Jingci Immortal Master and Concubine Wu, one in front of the other.

"Ridiculous!"
