In the imperial study room of Weiyang Palace, the atmosphere is very solemn.

"Check! Check it out to me! Emperor Jing slapped his palm on the table in front of him and roared.

"No!" Qian Yu, the captain of the Miyagi guard who knelt on the ground, replied.

"Wu Cheng, send additional guards to the prince/palace, and arrest the prince's servants (in charge of the prince's chariots and horses) and the prince's stable chief (in charge of horse breeding and carriage and horse management) and other related people, and torture them strictly to see who did the tricks!"

"No!" Lang Zhongling, who was standing beside Emperor Jing, said yes and walked out of the door quickly.

The attack on the prince on the spring hunt is too weird, how can a rhinoceros herd appear in a dense forest? How could he be crazy about chasing the prince? Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is definitely not a coincidence, but a well-planned murder together!

After the prince was rescued, he has been unconscious for five days. The Shanglin Yuan Prison and the thousands of officials under him were all imprisoned on the spot and escorted to Chang'an, where they were handed over to Lieutenant Zhidu for severe interrogation.

And when Emperor Jing returned to Chang'an with the prince in a coma, he had already obtained the chapter reported by Zhidu on the table in the imperial study. The lower body of the dead horse was found smeared with a large amount of female rhinoceros secretions, which can drive male rhinos crazy within a radius of ten miles with just a small amount of secretion. And through the work and the stable chief of the Taifu Courtyard, it was discovered that the male rhinoceros was also given a large amount of aphrodisiac/medicine, which was enough to be frivolous for love.

However, several captive officers in Shanglin Yuan had committed suicide by poisoning themselves before they were arrested, and the clues were abruptly broken. Emperor Jing was naturally furious when he heard the news. Murdering the prince, and daring to commit suicide in fear of crime? This is to help the mastermind hide it! Don't you think I'm too kind? Emperor Jing thought fiercely, and ordered: "Zhidu, all the people who are close to the criminal officials will be imprisoned, and they will be tortured and tortured, and they would rather be in vain!" Another Dali Mansion (in charge of justice) punishes the nine clans! Choose to say that you will ask all the questions at the mouth of the East Market! ”

Sun Quan, the eunuch of the palm print, was shocked when he heard this, the Son of Heaven was furious, and thousands of heads fell to the ground. How many years has the Han Dynasty not punished the nine clans? Even if it's a rebellion, it's just a rebellion, and it seems that the emperor is really angry this time. There is also the sentence "I would rather be in vain than indulge", in the hands of cool officials like Zhidu, I am afraid that it will be difficult to calm down if more than 10,000 people are not killed.

"Your Majesty! The queen sent someone to report that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince woke up! A chamberlain rushed in and reported.

Emperor Jing was overjoyed when he heard this, and rushed out of the door to take care of himself, and ran towards the Jiaofang Palace.

"Che'er! Che'er is awake?! ”

Emperor Jing rushed to the side hall of the Jiaofang Palace, and shouted loudly as soon as he entered the door of the dormitory.

To Emperor Jing's embarrassment, no one answered him at all. The queen was tearfully feeding gruel to Liu Che, who was wrapped in a mummy on the couch, ignoring the emperor's arrival, obviously complaining. This doesn't mean to blame her, no matter which mother she is, she saw her husband go out with her lively son, but when she came back, her son was covered in strips of cloth, and he was in a coma for five days and five nights. Even if the husband is the emperor and wants a good face, it is impossible!

Liu Che was "kind-hearted", and he couldn't bear to see the emperor's father embarrassed, so he signaled that the queen's mother was full of drinks, and said to Emperor Jing: "Father Lao is worried, and his sons are much better." ”

When Emperor Jing came to the couch and saw his son's pale face, he was distressed and happy, distressed by his son's injury, and fortunate that his son was clever enough and good enough. After the cavalry leader who went to rescue Liu Che came back, he had already reported all the process to Emperor Jing, according to the investigation of the scene, the process before and after was also calculated to be perfect, Emperor Jing was shocked at the same time, but also couldn't help but admire his son's flexible response, agile skills and the courage to fight to the death. And the more he admired the prince, the more Emperor Jing hated the mastermind behind it. Lao Tzu has more than a dozen sons, just such a promising, and he wants to kill him, this is to cut off the roots of my Han Dynasty! Since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust, Emperor Jing once again strengthened his determination to kill, even if it was to kill monkeys to show chickens.

Looking at Emperor Jing's increasingly blue face, Liu Che asked faintly, "Father, but you have some clues?" ”

Emperor Jing was stunned when he heard this, then nodded, and did not shy away from the queen on the side, and said all the information he got.

Liu Che nodded, which was not surprising to him, sighed, and asked again, "Who does Father think it will be?" ”

Emperor Jing frowned, and also sighed and said, "Could it be him?" ”

Liu Che was silent for a long time, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "It's not him?" ”

"Oh? How so? Emperor Jing asked suspiciously.

Liu Che smiled bitterly, not knowing how to answer. Could it be that he told Emperor Jing that he knew that the historical King of Liang would send assassins to assassinate Yuan Ang and more than a dozen other important ministers of the court next year, but he never dared to make a move against the crown prince Liu Che?

In fact, the reason why Liu Che has been in a coma for so many days is that in addition to the severe pain in his body and the coma of self-protection, a large part of the time is to check historical materials in the library in his mind. Liu Che thought that it was his little butterfly's flapping wings that affected the trajectory of history, but after he found several historical unsolved cases that occurred in the early days of the Jingdi Dynasty and the Wudi Dynasty, he felt that he might have discovered the truth of history.

Liu Che looked at the puzzled Emperor Jing and said, "With the support of the Queen Mother before, he is the most hopeful person to compete for the position of the prince." However, if Erchen really died, would his father still make him the prince under his anger? His goal is so big that everyone in the world will think that he did it, although he is impulsive, he is not stupid! ”

Emperor Jing nodded and agreed, his younger brother is not only not stupid, but also has the name of the virtuous king, and his talent is even higher than that of Emperor Jing, but he is too arrogant and domineering.

Emperor Jing frowned tightly and asked tentatively, "It's not him, who else?" ”

Liu Che shook his head and didn't speak again, his pale little face was full of helplessness.

The queen saw that Liu Che didn't speak, but she couldn't hold it back, she knew that her husband and son had the answer in their hearts, but they didn't want to say it. But as a mother, how can she swallow this evil breath?! directly pierced the window paper and said: "Who else is there besides the former one?!" ”

A cold light flashed in Emperor Jing's eyes, but then he sighed: "He is far away in Linjiang Country, and Li Ji's relatives have all been wiped out, how can he have such a great ability?" ”

Seeing that the emperor still wanted to perfunctory past, the queen snorted coldly: "Hmph! At the beginning, Zhou Yafu and Dou Yingke were both against the abolition of Prince Li, who knows......"

"Enough!" Emperor Jing waved his hand and interrupted the queen's words, "Don't mention this matter again, I will give an explanation to Concubine Ai and the emperor!" ”

The queen pouted and said no more. She is not stupid, she knows that she will accept it when she sees it, and now she has received the emperor's promise. After all, Zhou Yafu and Dou Ying both have great prestige in the army, and Dou Ying is the imperial lieutenant (commander-in-chief/division/order of the three armies), not that he can move. However, there was one person she could still handle, and there was a cruel and cold fierce light in the queen's eyes.

Liu Che listened on the side, did not speak, but sighed silently in his heart. Several mysteries that have been debated by later historians are now all answered, and the cause is because of this attack on the crown prince.

Later this year, Zhou Yafu's son bought 500 pieces of armor, which he planned to use as a funeral gift after his father's centennial time. But he was charged with the crime of attempting rebellion by Lieutenant Zhi, and he was imprisoned with Zhou Yafu and razed the three clans.

In the spring of next year, Liu Rong, the deposed prince who was demoted to the king of Linjiang, will be forced to hang himself by Lieutenant Zhi because of the small crime of building a palace and encroaching on the land of the ancestral temple.

A few years later, Emperor Jing left a fake edict to Dou Ying before he died. When Dou Ying took it out and showed it to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he was accused of forging the edict and razed the three clans.

Later historians have been arguing endlessly about these three doubtful cases, and they can't figure out why Emperor Jing and Emperor Wu drove out these heroes who had worked so hard and had been deprived of real power and did not pose much real threat. It turned out that it was to take revenge for the assassination of the prince. In order to paralyze them and appease them, so as to slowly cut off the authority in their hands, Emperor Jing actually endured it and did not continue to dig into this incident, and even the historians were not allowed to record it.

That night, after Liu Che'an slept, the queen, who had guarded him for five days and five nights by the couch, did not go to rest, but quietly withdrew from the dormitory, and took a few chamberlains and palace maids out of the Jiaofang Palace.

When the queen walked to the gate of Weiyang Palace, she found that Sun Quan, the eunuch with palm prints, was already waiting there.

The queen frowned, and asked Sun Quan, who bowed down, "Your Majesty sent you, but you have something to say?" ”

Sun Quan said in a respectful whisper: "Your Majesty asked Xiao to pass the word and ask Niang Niang to keep her whole body." ”

The queen smiled slightly when she heard this, and said lightly: "This palace knows." ”

After speaking, he ignored Sun Quan and walked out of Weiyang Palace slowly but firmly.

It was night, and there were bursts of terrible screams in the cold palace. Countless palace people were awakened from their sleep, but no one dared to ask half a sentence. Some of the little palace maids hid in the quilts, curled up in a ball, shivering. And most of the older palace people sighed slightly and continued to sleep, so as not to be able to serve the nobles with the spirit.

The screams echoed over the entire Miyagi for half a night, and then gradually subsided, until there was no longer a trace of movement, and the entire Miyagi returned to its previous quietness.

In the Changle Palace, Empress Dowager Dou waited for the return of the personal palace maid, not only did she not have a sad look on her face, but smiled and muttered to herself: "It's good if Wu'er didn't do it, it's good if Wu'er didn't do it......"

And Emperor Jing was standing on the high platform of Weiyang Palace, looking at Linjiang Kingdom in the southeast, his sharp eyes with a little sadness seemed to penetrate the limit of distance, and whispered: "Whether Rong'er knows it or not, my father can't tolerate you......"

At this time, thousands of miles away in the Linjiang Palace, Liu Rong suddenly felt a chill, trembled, the wine glass in his hand couldn't help slipping, and the bright red wine syrup spilled all over the earth.
