Chapter 170: Incident, Strict Investigation

Under the deliberate leakage of secrets by people with intentions, the news spread outside the Forbidden City less than an hour after the accident, and then spread rapidly in the Beijing Division. The ministers of the Chinese and military forces of the court were completely shocked, and the millions of soldiers and civilians in Beijing were also completely shocked, and between the government and the opposition, there was an uproar...... "The Son of Heaven gave the prince food, and the food was poisonous, causing several deaths in the palace of the imperial palace, and the empress dowager of the Zhou family was shocked to hear it, and fainted in the palace of the concubine. However, how can such a big thing not be spread out of the palace ban? Sun Jizong said with a cold smile on the corner of his mouth. As the eldest son of Hui Changbo, he is over fifty years old, but he does not show his old age, although he has experienced a period of depression in Tumubao, but now he is more energetic than in the past.

The father and son were sitting upright in the study in the backyard, and all the servants were driven out, serving tea and water, and these who usually relied on slaves were pouring themselves drinks at the moment, and the happiness in their hearts was completely overflowing.

The wrinkles on Old Sun Zhong's chrysanthemum-like old face seemed to have smoothed out the iron, stroking the snow whiskers on his chin, and his jaws were endless. "Da Lang's words are very good. Hehe, I'm afraid that the Son of Heaven has already planned this, but he hasn't had time to do it yet, otherwise, at the beginning of the accident, why would he be so anxious to send an edict to his henchmen and eunuchs? ”

"Maybe he thought it was those henchmen and eunuchs who did it in order to compete for merit, but in this way, if the news of this scene leaks out, it will confirm the previous rumors." The third son Shaozong's face was in a state of schadenfreude, and he could see that his son was deflated today, which was the happiest and most relieving thing for their former uncles.

Since the new son of heaven ascended the throne, although there is the Empress Dowager Sun, the new emperor does not dare to blatantly clean up the Sun family, but the small actions also make them quite angry in their hearts, although their situation is not to say that the situation is getting worse, but the cold court is certain, and the power in their hands is gradually eroded by the people sent by the new emperor.

Not only them, but many ministers who were highly used in the Orthodox Dynasty also aroused a strong sense of vigilance and crisis because of Zhu Qiyu's wanton promotion of newcomers, which made them attach extra importance and concern to today's words and deeds.

Something like this happened, coupled with them secretly fueling the troubles, I don't believe that this ruthless move can't hurt Zhu Qiyu's muscles and bones, at least, it can also make his prestige plummet, and in the future, a son of heaven who even dares to blatantly murder his own nephew, who would dare to believe his character? Who can guarantee that this son of today will turn his face and deny people at every turn?

In this way, it will inevitably push the ministers to his opposite.

-------------------- at that time, their good nephew Zhu Qizhen did some more things in the border town of Xuanfu to make the people of the world raise their eyebrows and praise them, and at that time, Zhu Qiyu's position as the Son of Heaven would become more and more unstable...... Thinking of the series of consequences that this good show can trigger, Sun Shaozong felt like he was trembling with excitement.

"Speaking of which, it's still our good nephew's ability, originally we were helpless, we could only defend passively, who would have thought that he could come up with such a good strategy just a little change of thought, not only to turn the danger into a disaster, but also to take advantage of the situation, and hit the prestige of today's son hard." Sun Jizong said with a smile, raised his hand and stroked his forehead, during this period of time, he was becoming more and more relaxed, and the original worries were all dispersed with Zhu Qizhen's repeated moves.

Although Zhu Qizhen is no longer the son of the great tomorrow, but only the emperor who has abdicated the throne, he has a feeling that he always feels that Zhu Qizhen seems to be able to return to the court again, although Sun Jizong doesn't quite understand where his feeling comes from, but after the change of Tumubao, he heard about Zhu Qizhen's series of deeds, and the means and plans in the open and secret, so that he always felt in his heart that this would become a reality.

"yes, it's actually just very simple, but no one could have thought of it." Sun Zhong couldn't help but laugh. "It's a coincidence."

"Father's words are very kind." As a father, Sun Zhong said this, and the four sons bowed their heads one after another, indeed, a very simple change of thinking, but achieved good results, which could not help but amaze them.

The smile on Sun Zhong's face gradually converged, replaced by unprecedented seriousness, and the old man's voice became deeper and lower: "However, whether you can let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince leave the palace is definitely not an easy task, you still need to work harder, understand?" The Emperor Taishang did not want His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to stay in the palace any longer. ”

Hearing Sun Zhong's words, the four sons who were originally smiling all changed their solemn expressions, which was definitely not an easy task. "Father, after this incident, the prestige of the Son of Heaven has been frustrated, and when he acts, he will naturally be timid, I think that the safety of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should be worry-free, why should His Majesty the Emperor take any more risks?" Sun Jizong couldn't help but tighten his eyebrows.

"That's because the Emperor Taishang has a word." Sun Zhong glanced at his sons who were full of doubts, and said plainly and solemnly: "I don't want His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be like him in the past......"

Hearing this, everyone in the study fell silent, this reason, no one can stand up and argue, yes, the that Zhu Qizhen did in the past is still vivid. Those things, not to mention outsiders, even their own family members feel ashamed.

If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really raised in the palace, and the Emperor Taishang is far away in the Xuanfu, and the son does not want to see him today, maybe after this incident, he will hate him even more...... Thinking of Zhu Qizhen's son in the future, if he is really more than a father, God knows what the Ming Dynasty will become, and the Sun family, as a relative, does not know how many people will be poked in the back. Everyone couldn't help but shiver in unison, your sister, it seems, it seems that you really don't want to do something.

"Don't worry, I don't need you to do much. The Emperor Taishang has already made arrangements, as long as the courtiers are there, they are willing to hold on to this reason, and they can be forced to obey today, even if they want to go their own way today, hehe......" Sun Zhong stroked his snow beard, and a pair of old eyes that were almost covered by his eyelids flashed darkly. "The Empress Dowager is still there, she is the empress of Emperor Xuan after all, and she is the nominal queen mother of today's son......"

"Then it's really come to this point, isn't our Sun family torn our faces with today?" Sun Jizong's heart jumped, and he couldn't help but exhale lowly.

"What about tearing your face? Could it be that now, between our old Sun family, your sister, the Emperor and the current son, what room for maneuver is there? Sun Zhong glanced at his eldest son. Jizong, it's good to be cautious, but sometimes, being cautious is wrong. Do you understand? ”

"Got it." Hearing Sun Zhong's earnest admonition, Sun Jizong's face was slightly red, and he replied respectfully to his father.

"Although the old man and the empress dowager have already made arrangements for this matter, there are some tricks and tails, but you can only do it, and you can't let people catch your hands and feet." Sun Zhong's face became gloomy again, and his voice became lower and lower...... -------------------- "What the hell is going on?" Zhu Qiyu's face was so pale that he sat on the dragon chair fearfully, his eyes were like a lone wolf with no way out, staring viciously at Jin Xing, who was kneeling down the steps, like autumn wind and falling leaves.

"Long live the lord, the slaves and maids have been thoroughly investigated, and the cooks and eunuchs who are on duty are all locked up and interrogated strictly, but ......" Jin Xing's head drooped lower and lower.

"Bastard! It's been two days, can't you even find out who poisoned or instigated it?! Zhu Qiyu's slightly darkened eye circles showed that he had not been able to rest well since the accident, and the corners of his mouth that were a little nervous showed how nervous and angry he was in his heart.

Although, although Zhu Qiyu admitted that he really wanted to do this, he wanted to kill his own nephew and let his son Zhu Jianshen rightfully ascend to the throne of the crown prince.

However, how could he use such a simple and clumsy, blatant and outrageous means to kill Zhu Jianji? It's good that the whole body is seriously ill, and the treatment is ineffective and dies or something, how can it be like this?

But now, there was such a sudden incident, the palace people who ate the food given by the Son of Heaven were killed and injured, and after the empress dowager fainted, there was no improvement between the two.

After all, this is the first time since the founding of the Ming Dynasty that such a heinous thing has occurred in the palace, if the prince has an accident, not to mention how the ministers will react, the people of the world are afraid that they will poke him all day long.

Therefore, he could not help but give an explanation to the Chinese military minister of the DPRK and an explanation to the people of the world to prove that he was actually innocent, but he had no clue when he checked and checked, and even made people feel that there were more and more ghosts inside.

First, Zheng Yin, the eunuch with the palm print of Shangshan Supervisor, committed suicide by taking poison at the time of the accident, and half an hour before the incident. It's just that it was only after the incident that when Ouchi's guards went to raid the Shangshan Prison, they found the body of the No. 1 person in the Shangshan Prison.

According to investigation, before Na Shuliang left the Shang Shan Prison, there had been a fierce quarrel with the palm print eunuch, the specific content is unknown, and then, many eunuchs of the Shang Shan Prison saw the palm print eunuch leave the room where the two stayed with an extremely pale face, which was the last time he appeared in front of everyone.

But Shu Liang insisted that Zheng Yin's quarrel with him was only because more than 20 years ago, when he was still a eunuch in the palace, he borrowed fifteen taels of silver from Zheng Yin, and now Zheng Yin wants him to pay him back.

Hearing this explanation, not to mention others, even Zhu Qiyu gave Lei a soft look on the outside......
