Because of the appearance of this mysterious old man who worshiped in front of Concubine Du Kang late at night, the originally quiet Xiaoling guards suddenly became lively, first Wei commanded Zhang Zhuguo to arrive, and finally Jinyi Wei commanded Zhu Xizhong was also alarmed.

At noon the next day, Zhu Xizhong, who was worried, entered the palace.

For Jiajing, at this time, he was either sleeping or alchemy, and no one was welcome to disturb him, but this matter was too serious, so serious that Zhu Xizhong didn't have time to investigate it first, just half a day's work, and the entire Jingshi was spread all over the city.

Yuwang's life experience.

On the eleventh day of the first month, it is the death taboo of Concubine Du Kang, on this day, in addition to Concubine Du Kang's mother's family, there is also King Yu, who is the son of man, at home for the deceased Concubine Du Kang, but I didn't expect that there was an old man who secretly ran to Jinshan in the middle of the night to secretly worship Concubine Du Kang, and was captured by Xiaoling Weifa.

It is said that a lot of ornaments, letters, intimate clothes and other items were seized on the spot, and there is news that the old man is from Daxing, and Concubine Du Kang was a childhood sweetheart during her lifetime, and she appeared in front of Concubine Du Kang's grave at this time, which is a little intriguing.

Some people also said conclusively that the old man's appearance was eight points similar to King Yu.

As a result, all kinds of conspiracy theories are overwhelming, and some people associate these with the fact that King Yu is not treated by Jiajing and that Concubine Du Kang cannot be buried in the imperial mausoleum after her death, saying that she has lost her morality, so the emperor does not agree to bury her thickly, and she is not allowed to be buried in the imperial mausoleum after her death.

The imperial concubine red apricot went out of the wall, the emperor was cuckolded, there is no more sensational news in the world, and the city was full of wind and rain for a while, even Zhu Xizhong couldn't cover it if he wanted to, so he could only report to Jiajing.

This is a matter of royal face, and Zhu Xizhong does not dare to make decisions on his own.

Because of Zhu Xizhong's identity and favor, Jiajing heard that Zhu Xizhong had an urgent matter to see, and soon summoned Zhu Xizhong in his alchemy room.

"See the emperor." Zhu Xizhong saw Jiajing. Immediately salute respectfully.

Jiajing was in a good mood, glanced at Zhu Xizhong, and then asked lightly: "Aiqing Pingshen, so anxious to see me, what happened?" ”

The high and low, Jiajing is very clear. He knew that it was not a matter of urgency, and Zhu Xizhong would not look for him, so he summoned Zhu Xizhong as soon as possible.

Zhu Xizhong didn't dare to hide it, and said carefully: "Your Majesty, this matter is about King Yu."

Seeing Jiajing's darkening face, Zhu Xizhong knew that he had encountered the scales of this superior person, but he still stubbornly said: "This matter is also related to the reputation of the royal family." ”

Jiajing is convinced that "the two dragons don't meet", in order to protect himself and his son. I can't wait for the father and son to "forget each other in the rivers and lakes", if you can't see it, you can't see it, if you can't mention it, you don't mention it, and now I hear about King Yu, and it also involves the reputation of the royal family, and finally compromises.

"Tell me what's going on." Jiajing said with a cold face.

As soon as he saw Zhu Xizhong's trembling appearance, he knew that it was not a good thing.

Zhu Xizhong didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly told him about someone worshipping Concubine Du Kang late at night. Even the rumors outside dare not hide it.

Jiajing snorted coldly when he heard this, and said expressionlessly: "Zhu Aiqing." What do you think? ”

"After the minister knew about this, his heart was in turmoil, and he had no idea in his heart, and everything was ordered by the emperor." Zhu Xizhong knelt on the ground and said respectfully.

It is difficult for a Qing official to judge family affairs, not to mention that this is a matter of the emperor's family. This incident is either a scandal or a conspiracy, no matter which one it is, it is not what Zhu Xizhong hopes to encounter.

Jiajing asked Zhu Xizhong's opinion, and Zhu Xizhong said that it was not appropriate. Can only cope with the past.

Zhu Xizhong thought that Jiajing would be furious, but he didn't expect Jiajing's face to become ugly, and he didn't make any drastic moves, but just said with a gloomy face: "How long can I find out the truth?" ”

"One month" Zhu Xizhong hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and said.

"It's been too long" Jiajing said without hesitation: "I give you a gold medal, you can transfer manpower at will, you can search and interrogate at will, and the case must be closed within fifteen days." ”

"Minister, obey the order."

The emperor Chrysostom has been opened, then this matter is already a foregone conclusion, and there is no bargaining at all, and Zhu Xizhong can only stubbornly respond.

Fortunately, Concubine Du Kang is from Daxing, and her relatives are in Beijing, so it is convenient to check anything, if it is in those provinces that are far away, there is not enough time to come and go, let alone investigate or something.

After a little hesitation, Zhu Xizhong whispered: "Your Majesty, now that rumors are flying all over the sky, do you want to let Jinyiwei take action to curb these rumors?" ”

"No, let them jump" Jiajing said in a surprising voice: "When the time comes, what is a human and what is a ghost, they will all appear one by one." ”

"The Emperor's Wisdom"

Jiajing waved his hand and said, "Stand down." ”

"The minister retired."

The emperor ignored his son on the surface, but in fact, he still cared in his heart, Zhu Xizhong sighed secretly in his heart.

There are two sons, and there is only one dragon chair, before the new emperor ascends the throne, he must go through some hardships, Jiajing ascended the throne that year, but also experienced a series of tribulations, King Yu kept to himself, King Jing was ambitious, since he secretly allowed King Jing to participate in the competition, presumably Jiajing was also psychologically prepared.

With Jiajing's character of great joy, he let rumors fly all over the sky, obviously taking advantage of his ability to control, let the situation develop, and let people with other intentions jump out, and when necessary, he will give full play to the fine traditions of the old Zhu family and remove these "thorns" for the next one.

Zhu Biao was deeply influenced by Confucianism, believed in governing the world with benevolence and virtue, and often discouraged him from seeing the murderous behavior of Comrade Zhu Chongba.

One day, Zhu Yuanzhang called Prince Zhu Biao, didn't say anything, threw a stick full of thorns on the ground, and asked Zhu Biao to pick it up with his hands. Zhu Yuanzhang picked up the stick, sharpened the spikes on it with a sword, and then handed it to Zhu Biao to hold, and told Zhu Biao:

"Those heroes are the thorns in this stick, you don't dare to take them with your hands, I'll help you cut them clean now, wouldn't it be better to give them to you to take again? As long as I kill all those people, you can be the family in peace!"

After all, blood is thicker than water, and tiger poison does not eat children, Zhu Xizhong shook his head and strode out, with a rare perseverance and determination in his eyes.

I only have a period of fifteen days.

Soon, Jin Yiwei went out everywhere, constantly arresting and arresting suspicious people, and everyone in the capital was in danger for a while, but the rumors about King Yu's life were getting stronger and stronger, and the officials were divided into the Yu faction and the Yu Wang faction, and some officials chose to remain silent.

The Yu faction and the Tingyu faction fight for each other every day, and among the people, there are also two voices, some people support King Yu, and some people think that it is more appropriate for King Jing to inherit the throne.

Officials and people spread one after another, even the harem is no exception, many concubines secretly discussed, all about Concubine Du Kang, the grave of Concubine Du Kang, who had been dead for more than ten years, was not dug up, but the things about her life began to be dug up one by one, and for a while, true and false news spread all over the sky.

Some people say that this is someone who wants to suppress King Yu, and some people have noses and eyes to say that when Concubine Du Kang did not enter the palace, there was a good relationship, and then arranged for that good person to do the palace procurement, and the two secretly communicated with each other whenever they had the opportunity, King Yu and the old man are very similar, and the personality is diametrically opposite to Jiajing, which can prove everything.

In any case, more and more eyes are on Zhu Xizhong, the commander of Chengguo and Jinyiwei, and everyone knows that he is in charge of investigating this matter.

The Jinshan Night Festival incident became more and more intense, especially under Jiajing's laissez-faire, a storm was formed in the territory of Daming, and this storm swept directly to King Yu.

On the 14th day of the first month, three days have passed since the Jinshan Night Festival, and when the subjects of the Ming Dynasty were worried about the future of the Ming Dynasty, in a house on Jinshui Street, there was an unexpected atmosphere of joy.

King Jing, who secretly entered Beijing, set up a seat in the study, and he was in a good mood and invited Yang Shuangzhi and Zhong Qiuping to drink together to celebrate.

Under the propaganda of well-intentioned people, more and more rumors about Concubine Du Kang have spread widely, especially many of them have come out of the harem, increasing the credibility of the rumors and causing a very adverse impact and impact on King Yu.

These are all victories that belong to King Jing.

King Jing coughed a little effortlessly, then stood up and said in high spirits: "Come, the two gentlemen have worked hard in this battle, and this king respects the two of them a cup." (To be continued.) )
