Chapter III: Establishment of Reserves (12)

"It was the last thing I wanted to ask or talk about. Don't talk about the establishment of the reserve, even if the brothers are separated, they generally don't mix, otherwise, in the end, no one will think that it is the person who presides over it, and they will suffer a loss. Ding Yi didn't have any tactfulness or politeness, and said to Yingzong directly, "But you insist that I come back, and you insist on asking me this question again and again." I have to ask today. ”

"Do you think in your heart that Jianshen is not suitable for being a prince?"

"Who do you want to make the prince, have you thought about it yourself? If you haven't thought about it yourself, isn't it a little ridiculous to ask me? If you've already thought about it, why do you keep asking me? You know that no matter who you appoint as the prince, I am far away in the Americas, and what does it have to do with me? ”

Yingzong waved his hand when he heard this: "That's not right, according to that, whether I want to think about it or not, don't ask you?" ”

Ding Yi used to be with Yingzong and didn't pay much attention to it, but it didn't come to this point.

Today he is deliberately like this, and he is not particular about it, because he is fed up with this intricate undercurrent.

"Why do you ask me? The Son is yours, not mine; The chair is yours, not mine. What the hell is going on with me? You're the Captain of Dragonfly, huh? If you want to set up someone, whether it is the Sixth Ministry or the Cabinet, and they refuse to agree, how do you want me to help convince them, this is no problem; But I hope you will never come to me about it! ”

"Who's Captain Dragonfly?" Yingzong was a little confused again.

Ding Yi touched his nose embarrassedly: "A character in ancient legends in the Wa Kingdom, a nosy goods, an extremely disgusting guy." I'm not going to be the one I hate! Alright, back to the point. Do you want to find out the truth about this poisoning case? Once it is found out, what should the mastermind behind the scenes do? ”

"You have to believe. If I really put my mind to it, there's nothing I can't find out. ”

"Especially Wan Zhen'er, they kept that bowl."

Youngjong listened, and began to fall silent.

The masterminds behind the possible poisoning are none other than the people who benefited.

Zhu Jianxiang has passed away and does not mention it.

Zhou Guifei, who gave birth to Zhu Jianshen and Zhu Jianze, is basically suspected to be close to zero, Zhu Jianshen is already a prince, what is she tossing? Poisoning his own son to death is not enough, this point will not be mentioned first, that is, Zhu Jianshen is dead. It must be Zhu Jianze to succeed to the throne? Zhou Guifei's head is broken, and she won't do such a thing, right?

Then the rest is Concubine Wan Chen, who gave birth to Zhu Jianyan, Zhu Jianzhi, and Zhu Jianjun; Concubine Wang Hui, who gave birth to Zhu Jianchun; Concubine Gao Shu, who gave birth to Zhu Jianshu; Concubine Wade, who gave birth to Zhu Jianpei; Of course, there is also Queen Qian, after all, she doesn't have no sons like in the original history, Zhu Jianshen is dead, and of course she is also the most profitable party.

"I'm sure it won't be the Queen." Yingzong thought for a long time, raised his head and looked at Ding Yi, and said very seriously, "Although it seems that there is something to do. It is very likely that I will make his son the prince, and it is true that the queen also has the idea of easy storage, but I know the other, such as you know Zhang Yu. Not so! ”

In fact, Ding Yi didn't believe that it was Queen Qian, because with Queen Qian's control in the harem, even if he had such thoughts. There's no need to make it look so ugly.

"Do you want to check it or not?" Ding Yi had already heard the footsteps, it was Huaien and Xia who had brought the tea set.

"Check." Yingzong replied in the affirmative.

Ding nodded and said, "Check the general." Whoever it is, follow the legal process. The Metropolitan Procuratorate will prosecute, and the Criminal Department and Dali Temple will convict you, and you will have the final veto, but don't engage in any tricks of being degraded to the cold palace or being killed with a cane in the palace. ”

"It is constitutional, and the affairs of heaven are also handled by the palace." Yingzong had a disagreement with Ding here.

Because the heavenly family always wants to save face, the scholar doctor writes that the Son of Heaven does not dare to go to court after eating aphrodisiacs, and it is good to write about what happened between the Son of Heaven and the inner servant, it is always like a paparazzi tabloid in later generations, not published by an official organization. But if the Metropolitan Procuratorate reports and prosecutes, and then the Dali Temple and the Criminal Department will try it, then the world will know it.

The forces of a certain department in the palace want to murder the prince's heavenly family ugly, and they will be made public to the world.

Ding Yi shook his head and said: "The herdsmen on the grassland know that they must obey the laws of the Ming Dynasty, because this law protects others from their encroachment, and also protects them from others. If you are not governed by this law, it will not protect you and your children and grandchildren, think for yourself. ”

"A law, even if it is not perfect, if even the prince and concubine cannot ignore it, at least when the people are dissatisfied, they will have a hope of justice, instead of feeling that there is nowhere to redress their grievances. This is especially true when the literacy rate reaches a certain level and the illiteracy rate decreases significantly. ”

Yingzong rubbed his temples and said to Ding Yi, "Let me think about it." ”

After all, it's not something that can be decided with a pat on the head.

Face, since ancient times, the good thing about the Chinese is this. Or how many foreigners come to court, and the reward will always be much more valuable than what they pay tribute? Gotta have to save face!

"It's up to you, but if you don't make a decision for a day, even if the result comes out, it won't be announced, because it's not interesting. Even if there is a result, there is no interrogation, it is just the establishment of a logical chain, a logical chain, which we discussed before, you know what I mean, for the alleged suspect, it is unfair; What's more important, maybe it's the real murderer, the mystery that came out, the person you ordered to die with a rod and give death, maybe just unjustly died. ”

At this moment, Xia Shi and Huai En came in with a small stove and a tea set, and Yingzong nodded and said, "I understand, in three or two days, I will make up my mind." Or if you can't make up your mind, you don't need to look it up, and I'll just make up my own mind. ”

Self-determination, that is, the so-called cadredom, is the final word of the emperor himself.

Whoever he thinks is suspicious, he will kill whoever he wants.

When Xia Shi waited on the side and Huaien was waiting outside the door, Yingzong and Ding Yi had a tacit understanding and did not mention the poisoning case again. Although the eunuchs who can come out of the palace with Yingzong's micro-service are naturally confidants, the emperor's attitude cannot be seen through all of them, and it has become a conventional thing.

"Are the Americas really that good?" Yingzong chatted with Ding Yi about this topic and cared about the situation overseas.

Ding Yi shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands and said, "For the people, I think it's a fertile land, and it's hard to say to you or the scholar class." We have to see how the people from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Liangguang are being governed. ”

"There have been several batches of students graduating from the Royal Military Academy, and I am always worried that Shi Heng and Ye Xian have left too many marks in their hearts, maybe you are in better health and go to the Military Academy to give a lecture." Yingzong suddenly brought up another topic, but a few words quickly brought it over.

They are illogical, a little too relaxed, not at all, and do not want to solve any problem through mutual communication. In other words, he deliberately avoided some serious things, but Yingzong always stayed a lot of time listening to Ding Yi talk about some kind of reptile in the rainforests of Egypt and East Africa, or women of different skin colors such as Arabs, Egyptians, blacks and Greeks.

The unbridled laughter, the off-topic meaning that men understand each other, occupies most of the time.

"I'm worried about your body, you really have to pay attention to it." When Yingzong was about to get up and leave, Ding Yi said this to him solemnly, this may be the only serious sentence that was said between them after the tea set was put on the table.

Yingzong nodded, this time he didn't bring up this topic: "I also feel that my body is getting worse day by day." ”

"You have to be careful."

"Be careful of what?"

"I'm worried you're going to die on a woman's belly." Ding Yi said it very directly.

Yingzong was silent for a while, then nodded again: "If you have to die, I think it's a good choice." ”

"You changed your name to the big stallion, why are you also the king of Huaxia, can you be a little promising?"

"If I were very promising, I probably wouldn't have listened to what you said and promoted the constitution."

The implementation of the constitution, whether it is a parliamentary constitution or a dual monarchy, is undoubtedly the separation of power from the hands of the emperor. If it is a Ming monarch in the traditional sense, or a male lord who thinks of Zhongxing Dazhi, how can he tolerate such a separation of powers?

Ding Yi thought for a while, looked at Yingzong and said, "I'm speechless. ”

It was impossible for Yingzong to stay in this Jinghai County Mansion for too long, although he and Ding Yi chatted very speculatively, and there were always many topics to talk about.

Although most of the time, they didn't talk about anything serious at all, but for Ding Yi, it was enough to decide a lot of things.

After Yingzong left, Ding Yi asked Wen Fatzi to call Ding Junyue over: "How is the fingerprint extraction?" ”

If fingerprints are left on absorbent objects such as leather, paper, and wood, then the difficulty of fingering is even more difficult with the technological foundation that Ding Yi currently has. Even if the iodine fumigation method is used, there is no photography technology, and the fluorescent reagent is even more dreaming, and the other more complicated ones are needless to say, the only thing that can be thought of is the silver nitrate method, but it is very difficult after all.

However, the white fungus soup is filled with a porcelain bowl.

Therefore, for the criminal department and many detectives in Dali Temple in this era, there is nothing to be done and can only be tried through guò torture, for Ding Yi, this porcelain bowl has provided enough clues, of course, if Ding Yi returns to Beijing, maybe the traces on it have long been gone.

However, when Wan Zhen'er was in the East Palace, this qiē was different.

The porcelain bowl was kept by her, and although she didn't know how to extract fingerprints, she remembered that Ding Yi had told her that there was such a thing.

"Using the powder method, half of the palm prints and seven fingerprints were obtained, three of which were thumbs, and one of the three was very prominent and oily, while two of the other four fingerprints were also oily, including the half of the palm prints, which were probably the fingerprints of the same hand."

Ding Yi laughed slightly, and the six ministries and the cabinet were waiting for him to catch a scapegoat when he had no choice. In the future, even if you find out that you have been wronged, or someone is not convinced, that is, Ding Yi will carry this black cauldron. It's a pity that Ding doesn't plan to carry this pot.
