Section 375 The Death of the Prince [First Update]

[It's the end of the year, and it's another year anyway.] Today's four watches, thank you readers]

From the capital to Nanjing, it is more than 2,000 miles away. Messengers were sent by water and land at the same time.

Changing people and horses on land, day and night, is really urgent.

At night in the city of Nanjing, the city gates were closed. The porter on the White Crane Mansion had also gone to sleep, and was awakened by a violent slamming of the door, and the messenger in red was struggling to even pant for breath, and the horse was exhausted from the white foam when he fell to the side. More than a dozen patrolling guards were slamming on doors while feeding people water.

"It's urgent to come from the capital."

The letter box could not change hands, and the man was carried into the courtyard by six sturdy sergeants.

Thousands of miles to expedit! Bai Minghe didn't even bother to put on his clothes, he had heard of the eight-hundred-mile urgency, but he really hadn't heard of what it was called a thousand-mile urgency, and rushed to the door in his underwear, and after taking the letter box, the white Minghe had an indescribable nervousness in his heart, what was going on.

After opening the box and reading the contents quickly, Bai Minghe's face turned pale.

Yu Qian rushed over, but he put on a coat.

"Lord Yu, the sky is falling. The prince died violently, long live and we will urgently recall to Beijing. Bai Minghe handed the letter box to Yu Qian.

Yu Qian is also blinded, how can he die if he is good?

"My lord, let's go." Wang Cheng dared to rush here, and after hearing the news, he just hurriedly urged Bai Minghe to leave.

Without any preparation, Bai Minghe put on his clothes and someone had already pulled the horse, Bai Minghe was young and could ride a horse and immediately moved, Yu Qian, Gao Gu, and Hu Hu couldn't stand the rush on the road at this age, so they took the waterway.

Along. Changing horses is non-stop, and eating and drinking must be on horseback.

Bai Minghe's riding skills couldn't hold on at all, and in the end he was tied to the horse's back and forced by someone to pull his horse to Huai'anwei in a day and a night, and then there was not even a big boat, it was the super Feiyan boat used to pass orders, and a team of ten brought enough food, and it was really a fight, and they rushed to Tianjin Wei at full speed.

Starting from Tianjin Wei, he was tied to a horse and galloped into the capital.

The entire capital has lost its former prosperity, and many shops have closed their doors. There are also few pedestrians on the streets.

The crown prince of the Ming Dynasty died violently. And what a terrible thing it is to live today and have no other sons. The officials were panicked, and the people did not dare to go out on the streets, unless there was really nothing to eat or drink at home. will come out to buy some at the market outside the capital. Those who work are willing to live in the workshop. At least there are officers and soldiers guarding here.

Bai Minghe, who was already exhausted to the extreme, saw the appearance of the capital like this, and subconsciously asked: "Is it an abnormal death?" ”

"My lord, be careful!" Wang Cheng was also very tired. But he has been maintaining a high level of nervousness.

Finally, the white crane entered the palace gate, and Wang Cheng fainted on the spot. His task of sending the white crane safely into the palace has been completed, and someone is already taking over next.

The palace is covered with white cloth, and there are pure white ones everywhere.

Xing'an waited here and gave Bai Minghe a cup of ginseng tea with his own hands: "Cheer up, I don't know what will happen next." Hang Guifei committed suicide, because the imperial doctor suspected that the prince was poisoned, because only when he was closed to death and there would be no red spots on his body, and now he suspected that it was snake venom, or some kind of poison from Yunnan. After interrogating those palace maids, only some snacks were eaten in the previous hour, and then the prince took a few grains of sugar, which were the size of soybeans, so as not to choke to death. ”

Listening to Xing'an's words, Bai Minghe felt a deep chill.

The palace is a terrifying place.

"Hooray, the white-named crane has arrived." Xing'an personally went in to report.

At this time, Emperor Zhu Qiyu of the Ming Dynasty no longer had the demeanor of an emperor, his eyes were black, his beard was messy, his face was red, and there was also black ink. His clothes hadn't been changed for many days, and there was food in front of him, but he didn't move at all, and he was sluggish.

It was his only son who died, he was the emperor, but also a father.

Hearing Xing'an speak, Zhu Qiyu raised his head slightly. Xing'an hurriedly said again: "Long live, the white-named crane has arrived." ”

Zhu Qiyu was somewhat moved in his heart, he probably knew how many days the messenger would leave, but he also knew how far Nanjing was from the capital and how many days a civil official could rush back. can rush back to the capital so quickly, he can feel this heart.

The white crane entered the study, and the monarchs and ministers were a little moved when they saw each other.

The appearance of the white crane is very wolf, and the clothes are not official uniforms, but the clothes of ordinary soldiers, which are already tattered. His hair was tied casually with a hemp rope, his eyes were dark, and his face was visibly thinner.

And the appearance of the Ming Emperor at this time made Bai Minghe feel a deep sympathy.

Or rather, poor!

Bai Minghe doesn't know history, and he doesn't know what happened to this prince in history, and he doesn't know that this prince also died in this year and this day in history. But there is no record in history of how she died, but one thing is the same, the real history is that Concubine Hang, who has become the queen, committed suicide.

"Long live, minister......" Bai Minghe wanted to persuade two sentences, but he didn't know how to persuade himself.

"Don't you have anything to say?" Zhu Qiyu's tone changed a little colder.

"I don't know what to say? I don't know if I am facing the emperor of the Ming Dynasty or a sad father at this time. The white crane knelt on the ground, and every word he said was considered in his mind for a long time.

Zhu Qiyu's tears flowed down again.

"Hooray, a sad father can cry at this time, he can cry bitterly. The minister is willing to carry the sword and accompany Banzai to kill all the wicked people who make a father so sad. But long live you are the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, you still have responsibilities! ”

"White Crane." Zhu Qiyu was provoked by a nameless fire.

Bai Minghe was still kneeling on the ground, this time even Xing'an was a little nervous, although Bai Minghe was right, but it was not what he could say at this time.

"Long live the minister, wipe away your tears and let the stopped court reopen. The minister is willing to draft for Banzai in the world, long live ......" Bai Minghe didn't finish talking this time, he was pulled by Zhu Qiyu by his hair, and then he was slapped heavily in the face by Zhu Qiyu. This slap was a relief for Xing'an.

Banzai personally fights, this is not a bad thing, but a good thing.

Zhu Qiyu was angry in his heart, what he wanted to see at this time was a white-named crane who could accompany him to take revenge madly, not a white-named crane who was calmly persuading him.

"You know, I want to kill someone?"

"Long live, even if the minister is not in the capital, in such a short time as entering the capital, the minister also knows that those who gain benefits will be killed. But in the palace, is it really that easy to poison? To do such evil things in the palace requires sufficient means and connections. It is estimated that the person who did the work has long since died, and he can guess but can't find out! Moreover, the beneficiaries of the open face and the real real interests are not necessarily the same person, and this kind of grand conspiracy can only be analyzed and clarified when it calms down. ”

I watched a lot of TV in later generations, and there were also a lot of palace fighting scenes.

Bai Minghe's few words woke up Zhu Qiyu, he thought a lot, but he didn't think about who was the biggest beneficiary.

His elder brother, the Emperor Taishang who was locked up in Nangong, and his son Zhu Jianshen. That's the biggest beneficiary. This seems to be a very obvious thing.

However, he is still young, as Bai Minghe said, there are many women who can have children, but he is more afraid of poisonous snakes hiding in the shadows, and he doesn't know when he will come out to bite him again.

"Long live, cheer up, you are the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!" Bai Minghe persuaded again.

Zhu Qiyu felt chills all over his body, he was still thinking about Bai Minghe's words, if it was a conspiracy, then this conspiracy was really terrifying.

"White Crane, I don't want to hear this!"

"Long live, you are the Lord of the peoples, and all the people of the world are your children, and you must ......"

Zhu Qiyu had the heart to listen to this, and a nameless anger rose, and after kicking Bai Minghe:

"Come on, the white crane is disrespectful. Escorted into the temple, a hundred rods every day. Zhu Qiyu was really angry when he spoke, but the words of the cane scolding a hundred also scared him, if he really beat him, he would definitely beat the white crane to death. At that moment, he picked up the long ruler used to cut paper that he had swept to the ground from the imperial case, and it was a random beating on Bai Minghe's body.

Tired, the white crane was also scarred, and then the long ruler was thrown to the ground.

"Pledge it down, use this one hundred a day!" Zhu Qiyu waved his hand vigorously.

Bai Minghe was set up by several internal guards who rushed in, but Zhu Qiyu motioned for Xing'an to stay.

I feel wronged, but what can I do. The white crane was not thrown directly into the Taimiao, where it was impossible to enter it in disheveled. However, a few specially arranged palace maids came over and threw the white crane into the big wooden barrel, took a bath and then changed clothes, and then sent it to the Taimiao.

In the imperial study, Zhu Qiyu asked Xing'an with a calm face: "For so many days, in addition to being tortured, what have you found out?" ”

"Slaves are incompetent!" Xing'an knelt on the ground.

"Go and ask the white crane, and then announce to the public that the white crane persuaded me to choose another concubine to enter the palace. and boldly accused me of misleading the early dynasty and the like, in short, to make people feel that I have the heart to kill the white crane. You can take care of the rest of the arrangement, I'm tired. Zhu Qiyu waved his hand to signal that Xing'an could go down.

Xing'an walked out of the door of the imperial study, feeling that his back was wet with cold sweat.

In fact, this matter may have something to do with the white crane, the day after the two princes of Siam and Nanzhang left Beijing, such a terrible thing happened, and some people even mentioned that they would arrest Siam and Nanzhang back for interrogation.

But Xing Anxin understands that they have a chance to enter the harem. The person who said this is the one who has a conspiracy.

When Xing'an found Bai Minghe, Bai Minghe was lying on a white cloth and falling asleep, and several palace maids rubbed wound medicine on his body. (To be continued......)
