Wanli shuddered suddenly.

He is in the deep palace, surrounded by high walls, heavy guards, never thought that someone dared to assassinate the emperor, let alone someone can assassinate the emperor, even if the white elephant went crazy last time, it was an accident, and the ancestor Wei Ling blessed, didn't he use Qin Lin's hand to stop the mad elephant and turn the danger into a disaster?

Therefore, even if he pointed out that someone framed him last night, he only considered who framed him, whether he wanted to use this matter to use his godson's strict queen mother to force him to abdicate, so he turned his suspicious eyes to Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng.

At this time, Qin Lin broke through the joints in one sentence, and Wanli suddenly realized: If it is just to abolish the elder and the young, why bother? Since the murderer was able to enter the Quliu Pavilion last night and kill the two palace maids, he slashed off his neck with a sword, and the Ninety-Five Supreme didn't have two heads, the queen mother and the emperor only had two sons, and he died, who else could he set up if he didn't establish the king of Lu?

Empress Dowager Li was also frightened, her face changed greatly, she had been in the Forbidden City with many guards for many years, and she wouldn't think about it at all when she encountered something, if it wasn't for Qin Lin's point, she still didn't expect how terrible the danger her son encountered last night was.

Feng Bao was overjoyed, as soon as Qin Lin said this, he immediately washed his suspicion cleanly, this is called Feng Loop, just now he almost hated Qin Lin to death, but the more he looked at him at this time, the more pleasing he felt to the eye, grandma's, who wants to move General Qin's cold hair, first have to pass my Feng Dugong's pass, mouth and mouth

Wanli broke out in a cold sweat on his back, calmed down, and sighed: "Qin Aiqing said so, I was really dangerous last night. ”

"Your Majesty turns evil into good fortune and becomes auspicious in trouble," Zhang Cheng always stood next to him with his head down, and slapped his ass when he heard the words.

Zhang Whale was not to be outdone: "The Son of Heaven has the blessing of God, and the so-called Ji people have their own heavenly appearance." ”

Come on, Wanli shook his head, of course he knew that he was also a mortal mortal, and if he was really going to be chopped off with a sword, he would still have to poke a big hole in his throat.

After a little peace of mind, Wanli asked again: "Qin Aiqing, since that murderer has the courage to kill two palace maids and blame me, why didn't he just take my life as you said?" ”

"God, my son is not allowed to talk nonsense" Empress Dowager Li was so anxious that her face changed, and she rushed up and took Wanli in her arms, even though her son was already an eighteen-year-old young man, and she rubbed the top of his head like when he was a child.

Although Wanli was a little embarrassed, he was also smiling, and only then did he realize that his mother's love for him had not been diminished by being strict.

This is the nature of mother and child.

"Your Majesty's question, it's actually very easy to answer," Qin Lin didn't hesitate at all, and said in an astonishing voice: "Because last night's murderer is not His Majesty's personal enemy, killing an emperor can't shake the foundation of the Ming Dynasty Even if there is something unspeakable that happens, think about what will happen next?" Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, should be enlightened. ”

Indeed, as Qin Lin said, the Ming Dynasty was quite complete and mature in the early years of Wanli, and the sudden death of the emperor himself would certainly cause a certain amount of chaos, but it would never really shake the foundation of the imperial court.

It's very simple, even if Wanli is stabbed to death, will the court go down to say it all over the world? The sudden death of the young son of heaven has been in all dynasties, Emperor Zhengde fell into the water inexplicably, and died inexplicably after scooping it up, and the Ming Dynasty did not collapse, and there are rumors that it was the black hand of Yang Tinghe, the first assistant at that time.

Emperor Zhengde has no son, it is Yang Ting and Zhu Houxi, who supported the establishment of the palace, that is, the later Jiajing Emperor succeeded to the throne, so there was no chaos, Wanli died and there was a younger brother of a mother's compatriot, King Lu as a substitute, what could happen?

What's more, if Wanli dies and King Lu succeeds to the throne, for Empress Dowager Li, if the eldest son dies and the younger son is not established, who else can she appoint? And at this time, she must also rely more urgently on Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng, two supporters inside and outside. …,

Feng Bao Feng Daban can also take advantage of the young lord to ascend the throne to further consolidate the power of the celebrant and the East Factory; Zhang Juzheng is still the emperor's teacher, but the student has gradually become an ignorant teenager at the age of 12 from a young man who gradually has his own ideas at the age of eighteen, and he has to obey him more and more as the head of the emperor's teacher.

Therefore, if there is a situation of Wanli's death, the three forces of Empress Dowager Li, Feng Bao, and Zhang Juzheng, who are about the situation of the dynasty, will definitely unite tightly and support the succession of the young lord King Lu, which is the only choice for them.

On the contrary, if Qin Lin had not found out the truth of this case, what would have happened if Wanli still had the hat of a drunken murderer on his head?

Empress Dowager Li would be extremely disappointed in her son; Wanli was wronged, dissatisfied with the excessive severity of his mother, and suspected that Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng had bad intentions; Feng Bao was angry that Wanli held a sword late at night and claimed that he wanted to kill him, and he would try his best to instigate the Queen Mother and persuade Zhang Juzheng to try his best to achieve the goal of abolishing Chang Liyu; If Zhang Juzheng wants to vigorously implement the new policy, he must continue to monopolize the government and hold power.

As a result, Wanli's death has become a definite situation, and Empress Dowager Li, Feng Bao, and Zhang Juzheng, out of their own interests, must work together to support King Baolu to ascend the throne - and even the importance of finding out the real culprit will be far behind the succession of the new monarch;

The blame is an undecided mess, around whether to abolish the emperor, the current queen mother, the emperor, the first assistant and the celebrant of the seal of the four parties will launch a fierce struggle, not to abolish the emperor, Feng Bao will take advantage of this to make a big fuss, maybe Zhang Juzheng will also take the opportunity to discredit Wanli, in order to suppress the student who is increasingly grasping power, highlighting the authority of the emperor, even if the emperor is abolished, as long as Wanli is not dead, the struggle will still continue in various forms or open or dark......

Empress Dowager Li and Feng Bao are both high-ranking people with decades of political experience, Wanli also followed Zhang Juzheng to learn the imperial mind for nearly ten years, Qin Lin pierced the window paper, and they immediately understood the hidden story behind the whole thing.

Analyzing this, who is the mastermind behind the scenes, the answer is already coming out.

Feng Bao swept his gaze at Sun Huairen, and sneered ill-willedly, others don't know, Feng Dugong knows the details of this guy, originally only thought about letting Wanli abdicate the throne, and didn't consider Sun Huairen, and when Qin Lin clarified the other party's purpose, except for this guy who is involved with the White Lotus Northern Sect, will the real culprit be someone else?

Qin Lin didn't rush to say the answer, but pointed to the box containing the fumigation of the boat: "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, the boat in this box has been smoked at this moment." ”

"Take it out and see" Wanli can't wait.

Qin Lin put on plain silk white gloves, lifted the box, and when the smoke cleared a little, he took out the boat and held it in the palm of his hand to display.

I saw that several fingerprints inside and outside the boat were clearly recognizable, because they were obtained by fumigation, burning rosin and camphor, and the color of the fingerprints was gray and dark, like the traces left by the devil of hell

Although Sun Huairen tried his best to maintain his composure, his face suddenly became extremely ugly when he saw these fingerprints.

Qin Lin sneered in his heart, and deliberately pretended to say: "Last night, the guest drank and cheated, and he was not completely drunk, he said that he vaguely heard the murdered palace maid shouting 'Grandpa Sun', well, then several grandpas here will have their fingerprints checked." ”

Sun Hai and Sun Dexiu were guilty of crimes, and they wished they could return their innocence as soon as possible, so they reached out and dipped their hands in red mud and made handprints on the white paper.

Qin Lin was not in a hurry to look, but stared at Sun Huairen with a smile: "It seems that there is another grandfather Sun?" ”

Sun Huairen laughed dryly: "Our family, our family was not in the Quliu Pavilion last night, so this is just, there is no need for it......"

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly kicked his feet, flew to the nearest queen and pounced, and reached out to choke her neck. …,

Where is the time?

Feng Bao was woken up by Qin Lin, and he was prepared in advance, Sun Huairen's body just moved, and several little eunuchs who had practiced martial arts rushed ahead, dragon claw hands, big grappling skills, tiger and crane double lines, Rao is Sun Huairen's martial arts are not weak, and he was restrained in an instant, and he couldn't even move his fingers.

Queen Wang's face turned pale with fright, and her voice trembled: "Sun, Sun, you are ......"

"Hmph," Wanli was angry, pointed at Sun Huairen and said angrily: "My queen, you haven't figured it out yet? It's this Sun Huairen who has been following you, he wants to harm me, wants to disturb our Daming country, and ruin my Daming Sheji"

Queen Wang was dumbfounded, she couldn't even say a word, Wanli had indeed been lukewarm and salty to her before, but it was the first time that she had been scolded so openly, which made her really scared.

Qin Lin sighed in his heart, Sun Huairen was on the verge of this pounce, but he washed the queen clean.

Sure enough, Empress Dowager Li sighed, shook her head and persuaded her son: "The queen must have been deceived and kept in the dark." If you abdicate the throne, it will be harmful to her, will she, the queen, be willing to become the imperial sister-in-law? What's more, you also saw it in the end, and the murderer still wanted to kill her. ”

Queen Wang, who has always been a good daughter-in-law, finally paid off, and kneeled in front of Empress Dowager Li and Wanli in tears and begged for forgiveness.

Empress Dowager Li helped her daughter-in-law up with both hands, Wanli thought about it and felt that what the queen mother said made sense, and her face was not as terrible as it was at first, but after all, she couldn't completely let go, and she made a cold face to Queen Wang, but her efforts today were completely in vain, even if her attitude was worse than before.

Who told the king and queen to believe in a traitor? If there is no scrap, even if it is luck, I can't complain about others at all.

But what she thought herself, then she didn't know, Qin Lin clearly noticed that Queen Wang's gaze was filled with deep resentment.

"Sun Huairen," Qin Lin looked at the real murderer who couldn't move, and teased with a smile: "Or should I call you Sun Xiaoren?" ”

"It doesn't matter," Sun Xiaoren's dead duck had a hard mouth, and he stared at Qin Lin fiercely: "My Holy Sect illuminates the world and blesses the world, and the lifeless old mother is on top, sooner or later, I will strangle all of you, and if you want to kill it, you must shave the master without frowning."

In the past, Grandpa Sun, who was beside the queen with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, and only promised, turned out to be a fierce and vicious White Lotus cultist in an instant.

Empress Dowager Li chanted the Buddha in a loud voice: "Amitabha, this is the obsession that does not come to your senses, even if the Lord of Yama does not spare you, and sends you to the eighteenth layer of hell, isn't it bitter?" ”

Sun Xiaoren looked crazy, and said with a raised eyebrow: "Hmph, I believe in my mother, I will naturally return to my hometown in vacuum, and hell will be left to you, hahaha......"

A few little eunuchs with strong martial arts slapped him and slapped him with a crackle, but looking at Sun Xiaoren's example, he would never get lost.

This guy has been brainwashed very thoroughly, Qin Lin touched his chin and thought to himself.

To tell the truth, in order to go undercover in the palace, you can cut off your own little dd, such a ruthless character, even if he is caught, he will definitely refuse to obey.

Wanli supported the Empress Dowager Li, who was chanting Buddha vigorously: "Queen Mother, it's late at night, you have a golden body, you can't deal with this kind of traitor, you rest first, there is General Qin, well, and Feng Dugong is handling the case, and you will definitely be able to find out." ”

Originally, according to Wanli's temperament, he didn't want to mention Feng Bao, but when this matter was explained, it was indeed the White Lotus Sect that wanted to provoke internal strife in the imperial court, and he would fight with Feng Bao again, wouldn't he seem naïve and incompetent?

Zhang Juzheng smiled slightly, I hope that after today, this student can understand more things, from this point of view, it is not necessarily a bad thing.

Feng Bao also knew the advance and retreat, and hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "The old slave will live up to Your Majesty's expectations, and this will interrogate the thief with General Qin, and the truth of the whole case will be found out." ”…,

Empress Dowager Li listened to her son's words, and also knew that he and Feng Dugong were temporarily untied, so she nodded and agreed to leave this matter to Feng Bao and Qin Lin to handle.

At this time, it was already late at night, Empress Dowager Li, Wanli and Queen Wang each returned to the palace, only the figure of Queen Wang was extremely lonely among the three, and when she walked to the dim place of the lights, she turned her head and glared at Qin Lin in the distance, her eyes were full of resentment: Originally, she was favored by her mother-in-law, and the relationship with her husband was also shifting in a good direction, if it wasn't for Qin Lin......

Queen Wang didn't expect that if it weren't for Qin Lin, maybe she herself would no longer be the queen and become the imperial sister-in-law.

Qin Lin was aware of Queen Wang's emotions, her anger was not worth talking about, but she wanted to blame Lao Tzu for the matter, so what could she do?

Hurry up the trial of Sun Xiaoren, dig out more information, and uncover deeper secrets, that is his top priority

Coming out of Cining Palace, Zhang Juzheng nodded at Qin Lin, and rode back to the house on the horse Shi Shiran, which was very similar to the emperor's first assistant.

Many Jinyi captains, forbidden soldiers and eunuchs who had practiced martial arts were holding Sun Xiaoren, and Feng Bao looked at this guy, but he had a headache.

Ya is simply a stone in a pit, smelly and hard, it is true that there are many inhumane criminal laws in Dongchang, which can make people survive and not die, but Sun Xiaoren is a kind of thing, in order to go undercover, he can slaughter his own brother and cut his own little dd, so vicious, so wolf-hearted, will criminal law torture be useful to him?

Feng Bao really didn't have much confidence, so he took the time to ask Qin Lin quietly: "Hey, General Qin, do you see this ......matter?"

"This official is already a little eyebrows," Qin Lin's voice was flat.

So quickly, what did he think of again? Feng Bao looked at Qin Lin in surprise, he really couldn't see through the other party's ......,
