Yang Qiuchi bowed down and said: "After Wei Chen found out that the second prince had recruited soldiers and horses to train in the secret camp outside the city, he immediately sent secret agents to reconnoiter in disguise. The pen fun pavilion www.biquge.info found that the second prince came out of the camp and went to Ji Gang's mansion, Wei Chen suspected that Ji Gang had something to do with this matter, and sent Wei Chen's concubine Liu to infiltrate Ji Mansion to investigate, and found that there was a huge warehouse in Ji Gang's back garden, which was full of blades, bows and arrows and other weapons, enough to equip one or two thousand people. ”

Ming Chengzu already knew that Yang Qiuchi's concubine Liu's martial arts were superb, and the news she heard was definitely right, her face was very ugly at the moment, he had been fighting all his life, and he knew everything about military operations, and after listening to Yang Qiuchi's words, he immediately understood, and said to himself: "Ji Gang's mansion is not far from the imperial city, and a large number of weapons are hidden in his house. Coupled with Gao Xu's more than 5,000 Tiance guards and Ji Gang's Jinyi guards of tens of thousands, a total of nearly 30,000 people, if you act quickly, it is enough to control the entire imperial city. Hum! ”

Yang Qiuchi took retreat as advance: "Originally, Weichen supported the prince and supported the emperor to crown the emperor's grandson. However, after Weichen found out about this, he was worried that the two princes would compete for the crown prince, causing a change in Xuanwumen, and he was even more worried that the second prince would coerce the emperor to give way, and at the same time, if the emperor set up the imperial grandson, even if the second prince did not do it now, it was difficult to guarantee that he would launch a new battle of Jingyan in the future and seize the country from the hands of the imperial grandson, so for the sake of Jiangshan Sheji, Weichen had to agree to change the second prince as the crown prince. ”

Ming Chengzu's generation of heroes is absolutely impossible to be coerced by others, and now he knows that the second prince is backed by force, trying to usurp the position of the crown prince and even force himself to abdicate, with his surname, he will definitely not submit to coercion.

Therefore, what Yang Qiuchi said made Ming Chengzu finally make up his mind, if the second prince and Ji Gang really want to rebel and force the throne, they must be resolutely suppressed, but these are only Yang Qiuchi's words, so Ming Chengzu can't be determined.

Yang Qiuchi saw this, bowed down and said: "Long live, the minister has a plan, which can make the conspiracy of the second prince and Ji Gang reveal its original form, and the emperor can also know that what Wei Chen said is true." ”

"What scheme?"

Yang Qiuchi said in detail, Ming Chengzu frowned, thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, I will send Lao Li Tou with you to preliminarily verify this matter later, if it is true, I will act according to your plan, if it is found that they really want to rebel, I will give you an official promotion, otherwise, I will punish you for the crime of defrauding the king!" ”

"Wechen understands!" Yang Qiuchi thought about it, since this matter was said, the matter of the show girl was also said, and said: "Your Majesty, Ji Gang still has a matter, Weichen has already known about it, but he doesn't dare to report it." ”

"Say it!" Once the rebellion of Ji Gang and the second prince Zhu Gaoxu is confirmed, of course, all his crimes must be investigated.

"This time the show girls were selected, and the show girls selected from all over the country were sent to him to make a final decision, Ji Gang used his power for personal gain, and selected a total of seven of the most beautiful women without authorization, and kept them for his own use."

"What?" Ming Chengzu was furious and slapped his hands on the armrests of the couch.

If Ji Gang's rebellion is just a political struggle, just a matter of vigilance and severe crackdown, but Ji Gang intercepted Ming Chengzu's woman for his own use, and it is not good to say, then it is a cuckold for Ming Chengzu. For this kind of thing, as long as it is a man, there is no one who is not angry, not to mention that he is the emperor who controls the power of life and death in the world.

Yang Qiuchi said: "This is what Weichen's concubine Liu inadvertently discovered when he infiltrated the Ji Mansion to investigate, and two of them are the show girls selected by Weichen Ying Tianfu, who are beautiful and fragrant. The appearance is no less than Weichen's two beautiful concubines. Unexpectedly, he was intercepted by Ji Gang. ”

Ming Chengzu heard Yang Qiuchi say that these two women were compared to Hong Aya and Liu Ruobing, but such a beautiful woman was intercepted by Ji Gang, and his face turned green with anger. However, he was not a reckless person and decided to conduct a preliminary check before making a decision.

Ming Cheng's ancestor sent Gonggong Li to follow Yang Qiuchi and others to Xingziao to verify the secret camp of the second prince, and then took the roster of show girls in Ying Tianfu, and went back to the palace to check with the female official who was responsible for managing the show girls who were selected to enter the palace this time. After making a report to Ming Chengzu, Ming Chengzu was sure that what Yang Qiuchi said was true. It was decided to follow the plan proposed by Yang Qiuchi.

In the afternoon of the same day, Ming Chengzu took Yang Qiuchi, Liu Ruobing, and Song Yun'er, surrounded by the eunuchs and palace maids of the inner guards, and suddenly arrived at Ji Gang's mansion.

When Ji Gang saw the emperor suddenly arriving with Yang Qiuchi, he couldn't help but be shocked, and secretly screamed that it was not good. hurriedly took his nephew out of the door and welcomed the emperor into the living room.

Ming Chengzu said coldly: "Ji Aiqing, I heard that you have received seven new beauties, all of them are as beautiful as flowers, can you let me see them?" ”

Ji Gang suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, Ming Chengzu explained seven directly, it was obvious that he knew everything about this matter, although Ji Gang didn't know how the news leaked out, but since Ming Chengzu had mastered this matter, it was impossible to conceal it.

Ji Gang reacted quickly, immediately thought of a countermeasure, knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said: "Weichen obeys the order, these seven women are Weichen's ......, and Weichen was selected from the eliminated show girls as maids in the house, without the permission of the emperor, please ask the emperor to give the guilt." ”

According to the draft rules, Ji Gang eliminated a batch of show girls selected from all over the country according to a certain proportion, and then sent the selected show girls to the palace. Therefore, Ji Gang chose the most beautiful ones for his own use, saying that he chose some of the eliminated show girls to keep for his own use, which makes sense, anyway, if he was not selected, of course, he would not be able to rob the emperor's woman.

Ming Chengzu smiled coldly: "Oh? The unsuccessful show girl? Alright, call them out for me to see. ”

Ji Gang agreed, gave his nephew Ji Yi a look, and told Ji Yi to take someone.

After a while, the seven women brought it, although they were also very watery, but they couldn't talk about beauty, let alone the beauty of the country. Yang Qiuchi looked at Liu Ruobing, only to see her shaking her head slightly, Yang Qiuchi suddenly understood that Ji Gang had made a move to Li Dai Taozhuang.

Yang Qiuchi then shook his head lightly towards Ming Chengzu.

Ming Chengzu snorted heavily: "Ji Aiqing, what tricks are you playing, are these seven women really show girls?" ”

"It's really a failed draft girl, and the emperor can check their selection files."

Yang Qiuchi saw that Ji Gang's face did not change color and his heart did not beat, and he immediately understood that Ji Gang had already taken this hand, he not only intercepted the seven stunning beauties, but also selected some of the eliminated show girls to stay, in order to hide people's eyes, it was really cunning enough.

Ming Chengzu glanced at Yang Qiuchi. Yang Qiuchi stepped forward and reported: "Long live, in this draft of Weichen Ying Tianfu, there are two stunning beauties sent to the Ji Command Embassy for candidacy, but Weichen visited the file of the show girl who was selected and sent to the palace, and there are no these two, and there are no two of them among the show girls who were rejected and returned. also asked Commander Ji to make an explanation, otherwise, Wei Chen didn't know how to explain to his family. ”

Ji Gang said angrily: "Lord Yang, are you checking me? Do you know that the emperor strictly forbids you and me to fight in the nest, and you are disobeying the decree! ”

Yang Qiuchi said lightly: "This is the duty of this official in Tianfu, and someone handed over his daughter to me, I can't lose it, right?" The official sent someone to you, and you neither sent it to the palace, nor returned it to the official to return it to his family, there must be an explanation, I'm afraid this is not to check you! ”

Ming Chengzu nodded: "This doesn't count, Ji Aiqing, where did these two go?" ”

Ji Gang was caught with a sore foot now, and it was not okay not to admit it, when the Dong Mansion of Tianfu sent people over, there was a handover, the roster was clear, and the people who were sent to the palace were also clearly those people, these two people disappeared in his mansion, and they couldn't rely on it.

Ji Gang rolled his eyes, and hurriedly reported to Ming Chengzu: "Weichen also left a part of the undrafted girls, maybe there are these two among them." ”

Ming Chengzu snorted and said coldly: "Ji Aiqing, I want you to call all the show girls you left behind." I'm going to see them all! ”

Ji Gang agreed, and was about to go out, Yang Qiuchi added behind him: "Master Ji, how many show girls have you left, the roster selected from all over the country, the roster of those who were selected to enter the palace and the roster of the returned show girls will be known at a check, don't miss it!" ”

Ji Gang paused, turned around slowly, and said to Yang Qiuchi with a smile: "Thank you Lord Yang for reminding me!" I remembered! Then, he turned around and walked out the door.

After a while, Ji Gang led more than 30 women into the living room, standing in several columns, Ming Chengzu got up and walked over slowly, carefully examining them one by one, and suddenly his eyes brightened, and he saw two stunning beauties. couldn't help but be overjoyed, pulled out one by one, Mei Zizi kept looking left and right, and asked softly. The two women knew that the person in front of them was the emperor, and that was their greatest hope to be favored by the emperor. Shamefully answered the emperor's question.

After Ming Chengzu talked to the two beauties, he turned to Ji Gang and said, "Ji Aiqing, is this the unsuccessful show girl you said?" ”

Ji Gang looked frightened, knelt down and kowtowed: "Weichen is clumsy, I don't know that these two daughters can be loved by the emperor, and Weichen deserves death." ”

Ming Chengzu snorted heavily: "Since he was defeated because of his mediocre appearance, Ji Aiqing stayed for his own use, hum!" Sure enough, it's very clumsy! ”

Ji Gang kowtowed again and again: "Weichen deserves death!" Please ask the emperor to forgive the sin. ”

Ming Chengzu ignored him, continued to look at the beauties behind him, and soon found that the other five beauties were also selected, and then he sneered at Ji Gang: "Ji Aiqing, I want to bring these seven women into the palace, what do you think?" ”

Ji Gang heard that Ming Chengzu was suppressing his anger, and he couldn't help but be even more frightened, and his head slammed the floor.

Ming Chengzu's face was blue, and he was about to turn around and leave, when he suddenly found Yang Qiuchi staring directly at the seven women, a little displeased, and said, "Yang Aiqing, what are you looking at?" "I think that your woman refuses to give it to me, my woman, you have turned your mind upside down, what are you doing!

Yang Qiuchi came back to his senses and said, "Long live, Wechen is looking at the ribbons on their clothes, I don't know if I can show Wechen." ”

Only then did Ming Chengzu understand that Yang Qiuchi was not moving his women's minds, but found that there was something strange about the ribbons on these women, so he snorted.

Yang Qiuchi asked Song Yun'er to go over and untie a ribbon, held it in his hand, looked at it repeatedly for a while, and asked, "Master Ji, how did this ribbon come from?" ”

Ming Chengzu leaned over and took a look, and said: "This is a tribute from North Korea, only in the palace, last time Ji Aiqing made a great contribution, and I rewarded him some." ”

Yang Qiuchi pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, can this ribbon be given to Wei Chen?" ”

"Okay, if Yang Aiqing likes it, I will give you a few bundles another day."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Leaving the Ji Mansion, Ming Chengzu was about to take the seven beauties back to the palace in a sedan chair, Yang Qiuchi bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, for the emperor's dragon health and well-being, Weichen has something to report." ”

When Ming Chengzu saw these seven beauties, he was already itching, and when he heard Yang Qiuchi still being so wordy, he was a little impatient: "What's the matter?" Let's talk about it. ”

"The emperor can't let these seven maids sleep tonight."

"Why is that?" Ming Chengzu frowned.

Yang Qiuchi bowed down and said, "If Weichen guessed correctly, these seven girls should have been infected with flower willow disease!" ”

"Ahh Ming Chengzu was shocked, and asked with a gloomy face: "Where did Aiqing start with this?" ”

Yang Qiuchi took out the ribbon just now and said, "Wei Chen found that the silk thread of this ribbon is the same as the silk thread wrapped around the handle of the dagger on the corpse of Xue Dudu's concubine!" And in the capital, only the imperial palace and the Ji Gang Mansion have this kind of ribbon. ”

Ming Chengzu's face was still ugly: "Do you suspect that the murderer is someone from the Ji Mansion?" ”

"Weichen suspects that the murderer is Ji Gang's nephew Ji Yi!"

Ming Chengzu sighed: "Just with this ribbon? ”

"Not only that, when Wei Chen was investigating the scene of Xue Dudu's concubine being killed, he found that there were traces of flower willow disease in the sperm spots left at the scene, and he suspected that the murderer had flower willow disease.

Ming Chengzu frowned, and said with luck: "Perhaps, he has been cured." ”

"It's possible, but it's also possible that there is no cure, for the sake of the emperor's dragon body, it's better to ask the imperial doctor to diagnose and determine first."

"If so, so what?"

"These seven women selected for the show are all tested by Wen Po Lang, they are virgins, and there is no disease, and it is impossible to have flower willow disease, if the seven women are infected, there is only one possibility, that is, they are infected in Ji Fu, so it proves that Ji Yi is suffering from flower willows, thus confirming that Ji Yi is the real murderer of Xue Dudu's concubine. In addition, there are two circumstantial evidences to corroborate. ”

"What circumstantial evidence?"

First, Wechen found the handprints of the arrester who participated in the scene investigation on the dagger, but did not find the handprints of the murderer, and Wechen suspected that the murderer was wearing gloves at that time. And the last time in the court, Ji Yi once brought a pair of gloves that could prevent swords to fight with Weichen's concubine Song, and contacted the discovery of today, Weichen was convinced that Ji Yi was wearing gloves and killed Xue Dudu's concubine, so he didn't leave a handprint. ”

Ming Chengzu nodded, he originally wanted to ask how he found out that it was a handprint that caught Kuai, but he was now convinced of Yang Qiuchi's ability to solve the case, and after asking, it must have been a big explanation, so he didn't bother to ask.

Yang Qiuchi continued: "This is the second one...... It's that Weichen needs to verify it to see if the sperm spots left at the scene are ethereal. Yang Qiuchi thought to himself, in fact, to be precise, it should be expressed as checking whether the blood type of the sperm spot is the same as Ji Xuan's blood type. However, this blood type is too modern to explain.

Ming Chengzu didn't bother to ask Yang Qiuchi how to verify it, anyway, he believed that he had a way, and frowned: "In this way, Ji Yi is the real murderer?" ”

"If the imperial doctor examines and finds that these seven Mei Ji are infected with flower willow disease, and Wei Chen verifies that the sperm spots at the scene are Ji Yi's, then it can be determined."

"Okay, you follow me into the palace and immediately call the imperial doctor to test them! You also verify it immediately. ”

Yang Qiuchi hurriedly asked Song Yun'er if the willow leaf dart that Liu Ruobing shot Ji Yi in Beizhen that day was still there, and Song Yun'er said that Liu Ruobing asked her to throw it away, she had already thrown it into the garbage heap.

Yang Qiuchi said to Ming Chengzu that he wanted to go back first, and Ming Chengzu asked him to enter the palace immediately after he was busy. Then I drove back to the palace.

Yang Qiuchi hurriedly took the guards back to look for it, but fortunately, within a few days, the garbage had not been emptied and was successfully found. Yang Qiuchi extracted the blood stains on the flying knife, and after inspection, it was indeed type A, which was the same as the blood type of the sperm spot at the scene. The speculation has been verified, and now let's look at the test of the seven Meiji.

Yang Qiuchi entered the palace with his entourage, and the imperial doctor had already conducted an examination, and sure enough, five of the seven beautiful women were infected with flower willow disease, and only the two most beautiful women sent by Yang Qiuchi at the request of Tianfu had not been infected.

Obviously, Ji Gang gave those five to Ji Xuan, and kept the two most beautiful ones for himself, not Ji Xuan, so he was lucky to escape. Despite this, Ming Chengzu was so angry that he was about to send someone to arrest Ji Yi and execute him, but Yang Qiuchi stopped him and reported that in order to prevent him from startling the snake, he would let him live a few more days.

Ming Chengzu instructed the imperial physician to treat the seven Meiji, and then passed on Xue Lu, the governor of the five armies, to enter the palace to discuss matters.

After discussing the countermeasures, Yang Qiuchi told Xue Dudu about the murder of his concubine, and when Xue Lu heard it, it was Ji Gang's nephew Ji Yi who killed his concubine, and he was even more angry. I almost picked up a knife to kill Ji Yi.

However, there is one thing that Yang Qiuchi has not yet figured out, that is, whether the murderer who hacked the two maids to death is Ji Yi, and it is not sure where the murder weapon with a gap is. Only after the interrogation after Ji Yi is caught, can he figure it out.

In the morning of the next day, Ming Chengzu informed the crown prince Zhu Gaochi, the imperial grandson Zhu Zhanji, the second prince Zhu Gaochu and the third prince Zhu Gaosui, who was beaten stupidly, to participate, and he wanted to make a decision on the matter of the prince.

In the court, Ming Chengzu publicly announced that Zhu Zhanji, the son of the crown prince Zhu Gaochi, was the emperor's grandson and the second prince.

This news immediately shook the government and the opposition, and a group of civil servants were naturally overjoyed and rejoicing, and a group of military generals were a little disappointed that they did not change the second prince to the crown prince, but they had nothing to say, after all, this was in line with the orthodoxy of the king's succession.

Of course, the second prince Zhu Gaoxu and Ji Gang and their friends were very unhappy.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Zhu Gaoxu glanced at Ji Gang with a blushing face, and the two of them left the palace one after the other and came directly to Ji Gang's mansion.

Ji Gang welcomed the second prince Zhu Gaoxu to the living room and took a seat, and ordered the living room door to be closed, and then said, "Lord, what should I do about this?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu slapped it on the table: "My father and the emperor have established the emperor's grandson today, which is equivalent to cutting off all hopes for the king's accession to the throne. ”

Ji Gang nodded: "I found that Yang Qiuchi's Jinyi Guard activities are very frequent, and there are eyeliners around the prince's mansion and the lowly mansion, and I am worried that the person surnamed Yang will find out about our plan sooner or later." Now that the emperor has set up another grandson, we can only do it. ”

"Well, it's good that we're pretty much ready. It was set to start in the morning of tomorrow, when hundreds of officials gathered, and it happened to be won in one fell swoop! ”

Ji Gang bowed and said, "Okay! Humble and obey the king's command. ”

"You immediately order your Jinyi guards to get ready, and when the Ming Dynasty is said to be in the north town of Fusi, as soon as the time comes, one will control the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and the other will immediately seize the noon gate, attack the palace from the noon gate, and control the south of the outer court."

"Obedience!"

"The king's Tiance Wei one, when the Ming Dynasty was in the Ming Dynasty, attacked the palace and controlled the inner court of the harem, and the other captured the prince's mansion, slaughtered Zhu Gaochi and his son Zhu Zhanji, who had been the emperor's grandson for a day, and occupied the prince's mansion. Now this king first went to Xingziao to mobilize the 10,000 soldiers and horses, scattered into the capital, entered your mansion from the backyard, equipped with armor and weapons, and when the Ming Dynasty was said, led by the king himself, rushed into the palace, surrounded the palace of the early dynasty, and forced his father to give way! ”

"Great! Early tomorrow morning, this world is the emperor! Ji Gang has now changed his words to call Zhu Gaoxu the emperor, and he is happy to laugh.

Ji Gang thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, the two beautiful concubines of Yang Qiuchi ......"

Zhu Gaoxu didn't have much interest in women, and waved his hand: "After the matter is completed, it will be given to you, the surname Yang and his other family members, regardless of men, women, old and young, will all be executed in Ling Chi!" ”

"Obey the order!"

At the second time, the second prince Zhu Gaoxu came to the back door of Ji Gang's Mansion with his personal guards, and immediately, the back door was wide open, and a group of short sword and light armored soldiers came out of the back door, lined up neatly, with a total of 10,000 people.

Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand and led the 10,000 horses straight to the imperial city.
