Wu Bi heard the emperor call himself a title, and in a blink of an eye, he entered the style of dealing with the monarch and the court, and he didn't dare to lose his duty as a minister, so he had to clench his fists and bow down and admit his mistake: "Fang Cai is indeed a reckless minister, please punish Your Majesty." ”

The emperor had no intention of being verbose with him, so he waved his hand to Xie Liangchen and said, "You go, by the way, call the ministers who are waiting outside the hall to come into the hall to talk." ”

As soon as Xie Liangchen left, the emperor immediately noticed that the Yanying Hall today looked a little strange compared with usual, and asked Wu Bi: "What about the eunuchs on duty here, why don't you see Lai Xing'er?" ”

Wu Bi had been reported by his subordinates last night, knowing that Lai Xing'er was coerced by a Zhang family in the palace to jump into the ditch and escaped, lost his trace in the water, life and death are unpredictable, at this time when the emperor asked, he truthfully replayed the story of Lai Xing'er's disappearance.

When the emperor heard this, he sighed lightly, shook his head, and immediately ordered Wu Bi to send people to search carefully along both sides of the Longshou Canal, and be sure to see people in life and corpses in death.

The two of them were talking about Xing'er, led by Jing Yuncong, and several ministers who had been summoned by the emperor to the Yanying Conference early in the morning followed into the Yanying Palace.

The emperor's gaze swept over Jing Yuncong, Liu Yi and the others, and finally fell on Wei Chang, who was walking at the bottom, and asked, "Wei Chang, you came to tell me that the injury of the Duke of Jin is serious?" ”

Wei Changyin had made disrespectful remarks to Li Jinzhong when he was elected to recover Hezhong at the Yanying Palace meeting yesterday, and after thinking about it again, he still felt quite uneasy in his heart, so he went to the Jin State Mansion in the evening of the same day and apologized to Li Jinzhong in person in the name of visiting his injuries.

He didn't expect that the emperor would ask about this matter as soon as they met today, and hurriedly replied to the emperor with an embarrassed expression: "When Wei Chen saw the Duke of Jin last night, he heard from the imperial doctor who went to see him that except for the head, there were skin injuries on the body of the Duke of Jin. It should be fine, but it remains to be seen whether there is intracranial hemorrhage. ”

When the emperor heard what he said, he and what Xie Liangchen just said could still corroborate each other, thinking that Li Jinzhong's injuries might indeed be a little heavy. If he was not summoned to enter the palace today, it was not entirely out of prevarication, and the anger in his heart disappeared slightly, and he only said nothing at Wei Chang.

Jing Yuncong and Liu Yi had already learned from the eunuch who summoned them to the palace that someone had assassinated them in the palace last night, so after the two entered the palace, they knelt down side by side, and said to the top: "The palace is restless." His Majesty was disturbed, and the ministers were terrified, and asked the emperor to say goodbye, and I hope that the emperor will take care of the dragon's body. ”

"The two Qing families are flat and give seats. Qing Ze, what clues can you find there? The emperor saw that Jing and Liu had learned about the affairs in the palace, and asked Zeng Qingze, who was kneeling behind them.

Shortly after the assassination occurred in Daming Palace last night, Zeng Qing was summoned to Jingzhao Yin Yamen, and immediately ordered the Yamen of Chang'an and Wannian counties to come out of the nest after entering the palace and face the king, and inspected the 110 squares in the capital overnight. They searched from house to house for the Assassins, and did not close until early this morning.

Hearing the emperor's inquiry at this time, Zeng Qing straightened up and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the report that the minister has received is that no suspicious person has been found in any of the workshops outside the palace. According to the clues instructed by General Wu, the government army and the government officials of the yamen of Jingzhaofu, Chang'an, and Wannian counties are now screening all the temples and Taoist temples in the capital, and it is expected that the results will be available this evening. ”

"Mr. Liu, tell me where these dozens of assassins will hide?" Because Liu Yi was the initiator of cleaning up the palace affairs, the emperor first named him.

Liu Yi stood up from his seat. He bowed deeply to the emperor, did not rush to answer, and asked the emperor instead: "Forgive the ministers for taking the liberty of asking Your Majesty." Who was the target of the assassin's assassination last night? Are there any casualties in the uterus? Only if he knew everything about this, he could probably guess where the Assassins came from and where they were staying. ”

The emperor nodded at Wu Bi and said, "You can tell Jing Gong and Mr. Liu about the situation in the palace last night in detail." ”

"Jing Gong, Lord Liu, my lords, the assassin entered the palace shortly after the lantern last night, and it was raining in the sky. The assassins divided into three routes, and followed Lai Xing'er all the way to the burial place of the Zhang family on the bank of the Longshou Canal in the East Jiacheng City; On the other side, about 30 people went straight to the Yaohua Palace, where the emperor was at that time, and according to the current situation, these two groups of people were all suspicious soldiers who were deliberately deployed in advance, and they all came to cover for the real assassination of the third road......"

"Oh? Why did the general say this? Hearing this, Liu Yi couldn't help but interrupt Wu Bi's words and asked.

Wu Bi straightened his chest and replied quite confidently: "There is only one person on the first road, the purpose of his appearance is to attract the attention of the forbidden army and delay time as much as possible, Dongjiacheng is already outside the palace wall, and with his strength, he will naturally not come to assassinate the palace;

Although the number of people on the second road is large, although the momentum is fierce, it first gathers at the edge of the Taiye Pond, and then kills all the way to the Yaohua Palace, and the last general will try to ask Lord Liu, don't say that the emperor is often guarded by the armor, that is, there are nearly 100 palace eunuchs who serve the concubine Niangniang in the Yaohua Palace, and only more than 30 people dare to act like this, in other words, you think that the assassination of the emperor in the palace will be a few points of success? ”

"The general's analysis is reasonable, please continue." Liu Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, listening attentively.

"This third line of assassins was launched after the first two routes, and then they appeared and gathered in one place, and rushed straight to the Hanbing Hall not far from Yaohua Palace, assassinating the Xia palace concubines who were ordered to live here temporarily on the spot and leaving quickly, their number should be between three or five."

"Should it be between three or five? Could it be that the palace people and eunuchs of the Hanbing Palace were all killed by the assassins, and no one saw how many assassins there were? Liu Yi then asked.

"This ......" Wu Bi looked at the emperor, hesitating whether to tell the truth in public.

Liu Yi saw that the expression on Wu Bi's face was quite unnatural, and knew that there must be a hidden truth that could not be explained in public, so he hurriedly bowed his hand to Wu Bi and said, "Thank you, General, for giving you a detailed account of the situation at the time of the incident." ”

He turned to the emperor and said, "At this point, everything the minister wants to know has been known. His Majesty's ministers were not good at deducing cases and breaking prisons, but judging from this matter, it can be roughly concluded that the assassin was committed by the remnants of the Zhang clan. The minister shook his courage and asked Your Majesty, the assassinated Xia palace concubine was the late Xia Haitang, the righteous daughter of Mama Xia? ”

He didn't say anything else, but this last sentence, the emperor couldn't help but clench his hands after hearing it, and asked in a trembling voice: "Mr. Liu knows this woman?" ”

Liu Yi knows the dispute between the Zhang and Yang clans for many years.

When he was invited by Mama Xia to help her sneak back to the East Palace, he heard her say that he had accepted a righteous daughter, named Xia Haitang, at that time, he only said that Mama Xia was old and had a broken mouth, and casually mentioned it when chatting with himself, so he didn't care.
