Chapter 12: The Outsider (3)

The prince took out a small bag from his arms and handed it to Jing Yuncong, Jing Yuncong took it and opened it, and saw that there was only a little green powder in it, so he asked the prince puzzled: "Your Highness, what is this?" ”

The prince did not answer him directly, and continued: "At the luncheon of the Lin De Palace on the first day of the first lunar month, someone threw arsenic in the diet of the queen and me, causing a maid in the queen's palace to die on the spot, and Jing Gong was also at the scene at the time, this is the so-called palace rebellion case.

Less than an hour after the incident, the first suspect, Zhao Muyi of the Shangshan Bureau, was arrested, and within four hours, Wang Shi, a talented person in the East Palace, was arrested as the main culprit, what does Jing Gong think about this? ”

"The minister later heard that Wang's madness and confessed that the former princess entrusted her with a dream and forced her to commit murder, but the minister was quite unimpressed, but he couldn't think of why Wang's behavior was so rebellious, please make it clear."

The prince said gloomily: "They thought that after the strength of the medicine passed, the Wang family would not be able to endure the punishment, and would confess to the Yang family in a sober state, but they did not expect the medicine to fall more violently, and the Wang family was aware of it in advance, so there were crazy words about the Yang family's dream, and Wang's sudden suicide by biting his tongue was even more unexpected to them."

At that time, I was also quite puzzled by Wang's actions, but I vaguely sensed that someone might be against me, so I immediately folded and asked to be deposed in order to protect myself. ”

Jing Yuncong thought to himself: Half a year ago, you summoned me back to Beijing with a military order and forced me to hand over my military power in order to protect myself, and this time I asked to be deposed again in order to protect myself. This prince is really a wretch!

"The queen did not get evidence from Wang's mouth that I knew about this matter, so naturally she would not agree to my request, so in the name of inspecting the East Palace, she intended to open a net to catch fish, even if she couldn't catch fish, she wanted to trap me to death with this net."

It seems that the prince is quite sober-minded, and inspecting the East Palace is indeed extremely unfavorable to the prince, but it is not evidence that the queen designed to frame him. Thinking of this, Jing Yuncong looked down at the green powder in the bag again.

"Jing Xuan had a miscarriage, thanks to an old lady who is skilled in medical skills, she was able to keep her mother and daughter safe, and Jing Gong has also heard about it, right?"

Jing Yuncong nodded and said: "The minister also heard that this grandmother is the former crown princess Wu Xian's side of the Xia Mama, known as the name of the miracle doctor, and the little girl is also blessed to meet her." ”

"Even Gong Jing already knows Mama Xia's identity, is it any wonder that things have developed to today's situation?"

"What does Your Highness mean? The minister didn't quite understand. ”

"Jing Gong, don't worry, I have made things clear in order, and you can go back and reply to the order."

Jing Yuncong's heart froze, but he was noncommittal on the surface, took a sip of tea, and waited for the prince to continue.

The prince's temptation was not reacted, and he was obviously a little disappointed, but he still continued: "Since I don't know why Mama Xia has been hiding in the East Palace for several years, I really thought that Mama Xia instructed the Wang family to do the reverse case, so I was anxious to close the case as soon as I returned to the palace, so as not to expose Mama Xia's whereabouts. ”

Jing Yuncong seemed to know all this, and there was almost no expression on his face.

"Who knew that after seeing Mama Xia on the night I returned to the palace, I thoroughly understood the cause and effect of the whole incident: someone gave Wang a drug, and Wang had the so-called Yang dream, and driven by this illusion, Wang made a series of poisoning Zhao Muyi."

The name of this thing is called Wu Yu Fei, it was originally a thing outside the country, this dynasty Taizong was introduced through the tribute of the Borneo country, and there were people in Chang'an when the first emperor tried to plant successfully, and then became the main raw material for the cultivation of the king Hou Xun Qi Xiudao alchemy.

Because people are often delirious and behave perversely after ingesting this thing, the imperial court has explicitly forbidden the cultivation and sale of this thing. The small amount of powder in Jing Gong's hand was enough to make a strong man crazy. ”

Jing Yuncong asked suspiciously, "Does Your Highness mean that someone secretly gave this medicine to the Wang family?" So, where did His Highness get these powders from? ”

"As I have just said, there are indeed people plotting against Wang, but her method is very secretive, she does not throw a dose of medicine that is enough to make people hallucinate at one time, but a little bit of medicine in Wang's diet, and only when the amount of medicine accumulates in Wang's body to a certain extent, can people go crazy, so as to achieve their goal of framing Wang.

Now it is speculated that the process of this person continuing to drug Wang should not be less than half a year, because Wang Shi was later aware of this, and these powders were extracted from the food that Wang quietly handed to Xia Mama to verify whether it was poisonous, but when Xia Mama extracted these powders from Wang's food and confirmed that it was Wu Yufei, Wang's medicinal properties attacked. ”

"The truth is indeed incredible, and Jing Gong may ask: who is so deliberately planning this, and what is his intention? I can't be sure who drugged and plotted against Wang, but the purpose of the mastermind behind him is very clear, that is, to put me to death. ”

"They first used Wang's hand to openly poison the New Year's Day palace banquet, and created the fact that the concubines of the East Palace were plotting rebellion in front of the civil and military officials, and then intended to force the Wang family to confess my participation in this matter through torture, and forced my father to execute me for the felony of treason.

Wang's sudden suicide made their plan in danger of failing, so they came up with another plan to encircle but not kill, wanting to dig deep into the so-called prince's party by inspecting the East Palace, along the line of Mama Xia, and then catch them all.

What they didn't expect was that when they were about to attack Mama Xia, Mama Xia took the initiative and took out evidence in public that someone was drugged and plotted against Wang's family, and it was verified on Wang's remains.

In this way, if they are still pressing forward step by step and rushing to close the net and take people, they are in danger of setting themselves on fire.

Therefore, they were forced to turn from light to dark and lengthen the line, which is also the real reason why the situation in the East Palace has changed from burning to slow cooking since the first incident of the first day of the first month, but in just eleven or twelve days. ”

After the prince said this, he vomited out the blocks that had been stagnant in his chest for many days, and suddenly felt much more relaxed, but Jing Yuncong frowned and fell into deep thought.

After a quarter of an hour, he spoke: "Your Highness, the minister entered the East Palace today, and he did come with a secret order.

In today's situation, His Majesty summoned His Royal Highness into the palace to face Chen Yuan, which was inconvenient, so he ordered the minister to visit the little girl in the name of meeting His Royal Highness here, and to comfort His Highness's heart; Second, I want to hear His Highness's opinions on military and political affairs, so as to prepare advisers.

Hearing His Highness's words just now, the minister was terrified, and dared to ask His Highness, if everything is as said, what does His Highness want? ”

The prince got up and dressed up, knelt on his knees, kowtowed to Jing Yuncong and said: "The son is grateful for the favor of his father and the emperor, but at this moment, the son is willing to die to eliminate the palace trouble!" ”

Jing Yuncong brushed his sleeves and said hesitantly: "In this way, the minister has taken his leave!" ”

The crown prince grabbed the sleeves of his robe and begged, "I hope the prince will teach me!" ”

Jing Yuncong sighed suddenly: "The wind of the evolution of the Ancestral Emperor's Sect, His Highness has learned a lot!" ”

The prince stood up with embarrassment and explained: "It is a matter of life and death in the sect, and people are unpredictable, so Jing Gong is not strange. ”

Jing Yuncong suddenly felt a sense of disgust for the prince in front of him, who was trapped in the whirlpool of right and wrong, unable to extricate himself, and scheming and unfathomable.

As the prince of a country, the rebels pressed the border, did not think about the major military affairs, but indulged in the safety of his body, diligently fought in the palace, and was exquisite, a thousand faces, and treated people without sincerity.

The prince looked at it in his eyes, and he also felt a little regretful for his pretentiousness, and deliberately opened the topic, saying: "The East Palace has become a tired egg, if Jing Gongru is worried about the safety of Xuan'er's mother and daughter, he can take them back to his hometown and live for some time, Qingning Palace will definitely not reject it." ”

Jing Yuncong replied awe-inspiringly: "Jing Xuan is already a concubine of the East Palace, and she should share her honor and disgrace with Her Royal Highness."

Jing Shixi is a royal in-law, and he will never betray his lord and abandon his husband, which is shameful, and His Royal Highness can rest assured.

The minister came by order, but he didn't hear what he should have heard, but he heard a lot from His Highness, and the minister was worried, and he didn't know how to meet the emperor to hand over the order! ”

Seeing that his tone was becoming more and more unkind, the prince was ashamed and anxious, and hurriedly said: "The dictatorship of the father's sacred heart is the dictatorship of the father's sacred heart in major military and political affairs, and it is not for the courtiers to dare to speculate.

However, since Jing Gong came to inquire, I tried my best to show a little bit of Chen Chen, and I hope that Da Sheng will listen: Although the thieves who invaded Tokyo are menacing, they are reckless, and the thief chieftain is still in Dingzhou, so it can be seen that his main force is still in Hebei.

If the father wants to encircle Wei and save Zhao, it is indispensable, but the only thing to worry about is that the army of Yu Chengen in the north road is unstable and the combat power is declining. ”

When Jing Yuncong heard this, his face gradually softened, and he asked: "After King Jianning, among the princes, only His Royal Highness is the one who really knows the soldiers, and since he has seen the key to the battle, can he have a good plan to deal with it?" ”

The prince replied: "The key to war is to choose a general. The Northern Route Army has been fighting with Jing Gong for many years, and only Jing Gong can restrain the fierce generals of the various departments, but now you are living in the capital, what good strategy can you talk about?

Li Shu and Zhang Liang are both speculative and meritorious, and it is okay to expect them to hold back the thief army for a while, but if they want to recover Tokyo in one fell swoop and turn fiction into reality, I am afraid that they are also entrusted to non-people.

All I can think of is to dispatch good generals and elite troops to garrison Tongzhou and Tiger Pass, even if the east and north roads are lost, the capital can be temporarily safe. ”

Jing Yuncong frowned and said, "Your Highness is too pessimistic. As far as the minister knows, His Majesty specially summoned Yu Chengen to return to Beijing a few days ago, and the ear mentioned the order, which has already prevented the hidden dangers that are difficult to coordinate among the various departments of the Northern Route Army, and must strictly order Yu Chengen to deal with it properly, and the Shenhe army under the command of Cheng En alone is enough to make Shi Chonggui feel tricky, and the Northern Route Army will storm Dingzhou and will not return empty-handed.

As for King Ying's first journey, although it was a feint, after all, there were 50,000 people, and with less than 20,000 thieves in Tokyo, it was not easy to defeat Wang Shi suddenly.

From this point of view, even if the intention of encircling Wei to save Zhao was seen by the thief army, he had to abandon Tokyo and return to Dingzhou to save Dingzhou.

Although it was not easy to win a great victory in this battle, it was not difficult to achieve the goal of recovering Tokyo. According to His Royal Highness, although it is a proper discussion to defend the capital and consolidate the defense of the capital, it is not the way to defeat the enemy. ”

The prince smiled bitterly and said: "The battle within the palace walls is not endless, and the father and emperor have ordered the generals to be controlled by others, so how can they overcome the delusion of victory against the enemy." Yu Chengen will only do some things like chickens and dogs, but he is entrusted with the right to be autocratic, has Jing Gong ever seen the victory of the enemy in such a situation? ”

Jing Yuncong saw that the prince was full of complaints, so he didn't continue to talk about it, got up and said goodbye: "What Your Highness said today, whether it is the war or the clues about the palace case, the minister must truthfully show the saint. There are many people in the East Palace, and His Royal Highness is asked to be cautious in his words and deeds. "With that, bow to the prince, raise your legs and leave.

Although the prince was reluctant, he also understood that once Jing Yuncong revealed his identity as a chaplain, he could only scratch his boots and make futile efforts if he continued to talk, so he didn't do much to keep him, accompanied him to say goodbye to Jing Xuan, and went with him.
