Chapter 173: The aftermath has not subsided, and the waves have risen again
After two teas, several brocade guards were ordered by the officials of the Three Law Divisions to come to the edict to interrogate Shu Liang, when the heavy door was slowly pushed open with the unpleasant creak. What caught everyone's eyes was the corpse of Shu Liang, who was bleeding from all seven orifices and had a distorted and hideous expression, slanted on the cold and damp floor, and a stench emanating from under his soaked clothes...... When I saw that when I was arraigned more than two hours ago, I was still alive and vivid, and I looked very hanging, standing on the public hall where the three law divisions were tried, and the confidant of the Son of Heaven, the eunuch of Shangshan, actually died like this. The Jinyi guards who came to interrogate couldn't help but turn pale instantly.
Liao Qianhu was more "sensible", and hurriedly stepped forward to fiddle with it, and determined that the favored eunuch committed suicide by taking poison, and then saw the suicide note that was still stained with some wine and blood on the case.
"What do you say?! Shu Liang is dead?! Wang Wen, who was behind the big case, jumped up from the chair in surprise and asked sharply.
"Back to my lord, Shu Liang is indeed dead, the last general and others can test, Shu Liang Shu Gonggong committed suicide by taking poison, not killed by others, in addition, Shu Gonggong still has a letter here, please take a look at it" Liao Qianhu was a little trembling and presented the suicide note written by Shu Liang to both hands.
"Liao Qianhu, this is the Jinyi Guard's Prison, and it is an important place in the world to hold key criminals, how could he die in prison?!" Li Bing raised his eyebrows, and said in a low voice, like the sharp eyes of a knife, stabbing Liao Qianhu's face, as if he wanted to see his disguise.
Liao Qianhu's head was buried lower. "My lord, that Shu Liang Shu is a neighbor of the Son of Heaven. I don't dare to be rude......"
"You!" Li Bingqi's forehead was bruised, and his big hand slapped on the public case. "Who did Shu Liang see before he died?!"
"Back to my lord, before the father of Shu died, he had instructed the last general to prepare wine and food and pen, ink, paper and inkstone, at that time, the last general looked at Shu father-in-law, it seemed that his face was a little wrong, and he was uneasy, and the last general also specially asked, but Shu father-in-law was impatient, and the last general was driven away, at that time, there were two brocade guards guarding Shu father-in-law were present, and they could testify for the last general." Liao Qianhu raised his head with a sad face and said.
"Humph! You ......" Li Bingyi raised his eyebrows and wanted to say back, but Wang Wen saw the eyes of Lu Zhong, the commander of the Jinyi Guard next to him, and his heart couldn't help jumping, and he suddenly understood. "Okay, okay, my lords, the old man thinks that now is the time to investigate anyone's fault, and immediately check whether the cause of Shuliang's death is true. Also, Na Shuliang's suicide note was taken for the old man to see. Let's see why this father-in-law Shu committed suicide? ”
-------------------- that Dali Siqing and the criminal department Shangshu could only bow their heads helplessly. And when the contents of the suicide note with trembling handwriting were printed in the eyes of several people. Wang Wen secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it seemed that the Son of Heaven had finally made a decision to abandon the car and protect the handsome.
Soon, the content of the suicide note became the final confession of the father-in-law Shu who committed suicide by poisoning, and this case also achieved an "unprecedented" breakthrough.
Shu Liang, the eunuch of Shangshan, and Zheng Yin, the eunuch of Shangshan's palm seal, killed each other because of old grievances, and Shu Liang also sent someone to poison Zheng Yin, but he didn't know that the poisonous palm that Zheng Yin gave to Shu Liang was mistakenly sent to the imperial palace, resulting in the death and injury of the imperial palace maid.
Although Shu Liang, who was panicked in his heart, tried to shift all the responsibility to Zheng Yin after several quibbles, and also falsely claimed that Zheng Yin committed suicide by taking poison, it is a pity that the eyes of the people, uh, the eyes of the officials of the Three Law Divisions are bright, and the ability of the elites of Jinyiwei is great.
Soon it was found out again that Zheng Yin's neck bone was twisted, and it was concluded that Zheng Yin was obviously coerced by taking poison, and the other party was also worried that he would not die.
It is reported that it was committed by a Ouchi guard who was bought by Shu Liang, and the Ouchi guard was quickly arrested, but when he was arrested, he knew that the matter had been leaked, and he committed suicide by poisoning after leaving a confession.
It took nearly half a month, after a series of in-depth digging and case analysis, and after careful investigation and interrogation by the Three Law Divisions and Jinyiwei, a truth that was not the truth was finally obtained.
In the past half a month, both the government and the opposition have been discussing a lot, and most people have a skeptical and distrustful attitude towards this so-called truth, after all, this case is full of many doubts.
For example, the Ouchi guard did not have much contact with Shu Liang in the past, and it is rumored that when the Ouchi guard's home was searched, no precious metals were found in his mansion: for example, a large amount of gold and silver. The silver taels found were less than five hundred taels, even if the five hundred taels of silver were all given by Shu Liang.
A dignified guard, the price of this life seems to be too low, so this bribery and bribery really seems a little reluctant.
And Zheng Yin has a foreign house in the capital, with a huge amount of money, and now he is dying, I am afraid that he will not need to stay up for long, and he can rest with the Son of Heaven to spend his old age in peace, and Zheng Yin is in a gentle mood and rarely fights with others, and has never had any conflicts with the eunuchs in the palace.
In addition, it is said that when Zheng Yin died, his neck bone was not broken, but it was only discovered by chance when he was re-examined later...... Fragments of various news came together, although the truth was still a fog, but it put an absurd footnote on the closing statement taken out by the three law divisions.
, and even several storytellers with cerebral collapse and cerebellar imbalance who are ready to deduce a thrilling detective chapter back novel through this story, but they were soon sent to Jinyiwei prison for the crime of disturbing the management of public order.
No one dared to speculate openly about the truth of the incident, but the fire of gossip in the hearts of the courtiers and the common people was still burning, gossiping on the streets, whispering in private conversations, and secret words in the room, often talking about this matter, all kinds of obscure speculations and reasoning emerged one after another, but no one would really believe the broken things that the three law divisions had brought out.
At this time, the Emperor Taishang, who was far away in Xuanfu, finally made a move and sent his ministers to Beijing, and it was in the form of a clear edict. The content of this imperial edict has made people smear a strange cloud on this case of murdering the crown prince. To be more precise, it was the Jingshi who was in turmoil and threw another bombshell.
The Emperor Taishang, who was far away in the border town of Xuanfu, expressed his deep concern and serious indignation at the murder of the crown prince, and believed that the perpetrators of the incident should be severely punished to prevent the recurrence of such incidents. The orthodox surnames and legal surnames that affected the inheritance of Jiangshan Sheji in the Ming Dynasty gave the people a satisfactory explanation.
-------------------- second, as the emperor who has made serious mistakes, believes that one of the most important reasons why he made so many big mistakes and did so many bad things in the past is that he grew up in the deep palace since he was a child, and he didn't even know what weeds and seedlings weeds weed and seedlings weed and seedlings had.
Therefore, as the Emperor Taishang, who has experienced a heavy past and has carried out strict and prudent reflection, has made a difficult and unwilling decision. believes that the crown prince should not follow his own old path, and the heir to the imperial throne of the Ming Dynasty can no longer be like himself, for more than ten years, he has not even stepped out of the palace gate.
Thinking of Emperor Shizu, since childhood, with Taizu to conquer the world, and finally follow the will of Taizu, dominate the world, although Emperor Renzong and Emperor Xuanzong can not make meritorious contributions on the battlefield, but they also travel all year round to solve the suffering of the people, so that there is the rule of Renxuan...... The ancients had clouds, read thousands of books, and traveled thousands of miles. The sages and Lao Tzu have clouds, and a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. In short, thousands of famous sayings have been collected into one sentence, the crown prince can no longer stay in the forbidden garden of the deep palace with nothing to do, no matter how many books he reads, it is also a dead book, he doesn't know the suffering of the people, how can he understand the people of the Ming Dynasty in the future? Became a good emperor like Shizu or Emperor Renzong and Emperor Xuanzong?
This edict arrived in Jingshi, and went straight to Zhu Qiyu's desk, and Zhu Qiyu, who had not yet fully recovered from the prince's murder case, felt like a heavy hammer, and smashed it on his temple, smashing his eyes with gold stars and seven holes breathing fire.
"This is impossible, I will never agree, the crown prince is the one who succeeds the emperor, how can he leave the capital lightly? The Emperor Taishang's statement is a big mistake. Zhu Qiyu's angry roar standing behind the dragon case echoed in the hall.
The corners of his forehead were throbbing, and he felt like his heart was about to jump out of his chest, his brain was swollen and hot, and he couldn't even hear anything else in his ears. Naked, this is simply a naked accusation, this is simply a naked provocation against the authority of his own great tomorrow.
"Who does he think he is?!" Zhu Qiyu felt that he was ten times more aggrieved than fucking Zhu Yunwen, who was forced to lose the throne by Emperor Shizu. He is the Son of Heaven sitting on the dragon chair, why should he come here to point fingers, he is just the emperor, an outdated son of heaven who has abdicated the throne.
However, these damned civil and military officials dared to stand on the opposite side of themselves as if they had eaten gunpowder, and stood on the side of the Emperor Taishang, who was not the Son of Heaven. He almost unanimously thought that he, the dignified son of the emperor, should obey the emperor's will and send the crown prince to the emperor's side to receive formal education.
Lying in the mud of the Gobi, can't the Son of Heaven educate any good people? Could it be that in your eyes, this Son of Heaven is not as good as the Emperor Taishang who committed the annihilation of the entire army in Tumu Fort and killed countless ministers?
