The next day, Jin Yuming, the new Daming concubine, the new top ten beautiful men in Chang'an, and the son of the Liaoxi Jin family of the 12th family of Tianzi, died.

The banquet of the previous day ended at midnight, and Jin Yuming went to sleep drunk and slept on the twelfth floor of the Hubu Building, next to Jin Yuguang's bedroom.

At eight o'clock the next morning, no one answered the maid's knock on the door. She didn't dare to push the door, so she went directly to call Jin Yuguang.

Jin Yuguang shouted at him and knocked on the door vigorously, but there was no response. Jin Yuguang found the key and opened the door.

Jin Yuming was lying on his back on the bed, his two eyes, two ears, two nostrils, and one mouth were bleeding, and the blood stained the pillow red, and his head was almost in a pool of blood. In other words, the seven orifices bled to death.

When the news broke, everyone was stunned.

The emperor sent someone to inquire about the situation, and the inner court and the outer court sent people to check on it.

The news reached Liaojing City, the capital of Liaoxi Province, and Jin Huanqiang, the head of the Jin family in Liaoxi, immediately rushed over from Liaoxi.

At the court meeting, Prime Minister Li Guozhong said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the Hubu Building is Jin Yuguang's territory, and all the people who come and go there are his!" ”

There are also several ministers who blame Kim Woo-kwang together. There is no doubt that these people are from outside the court.

Jin Yuguang lowered his head and looked at the ground, his eyelids did not blink, and he did not say much before at all.

Emperor Zhu Honghua said: "Wait until the investigation team is done!" ”

-

-

In total, there are four investigation teams, which are not subordinate to each other. The emperor's imperial doctor, the doctor of the inner court, the doctor of the outer court, and the doctor of Liaoxi, these people dissected Jin Yuming like a sheep and scorpion in a restaurant in Xi'an County under the condition of watching each other.

The four investigation teams finally unanimously agreed that Jin Yuming died of poisoning, and the poison was arsenic. There was no poison in the dish, and it was found in Jin Yuming's plates, bowls, chopsticks, and cups. Being able to poison so many items must have been done by insiders.

The four investigation teams tortured a large number of people, who were either killed and could not say anything, or they just talked nonsense, and the people had no clue at all.

Some people suspect that the murderer is Jin Yuguang, after he killed his brother, he is the eldest son of the Jin family, and the Hubu building is his territory; However, some people say that the murderer is the prime minister, because he has conflicts with Jin Yuguang during this time, and he doesn't want the Liaoxi cavalry to enter his territory, not to mention that the Hubu building was originally the territory of the foreign dynasty, and many people in it were promoted by the prime minister.

At the court meeting, the ministers were still arguing, most of them said that the murderer was Jin Yuguang, and a few people said that it was the prime minister.

At this time, Yang Mingyang stood up: "As the head of the law department of the Imperial University, I can say responsibly that whether a person is a criminal or not should not be determined by what others say about him or not, nor should we look at his motives, but look at the evidence." Only evidence that can form a complete chain of accusations can determine whether a person is a criminal or not. ”

Emperor: "Then who do you say is the murderer?" ”

Yang Mingyang: "The evidence is insufficient and cannot be determined. ”

The emperor opened his mouth wide with a shocked expression.

Prime Minister Li Guozhong said to Yang Mingyang: "There is nothing to be sure about!" It must have been Kim Woo-kwang who did it! ”

Yang Mingyang: "There is no evidence." ”

Li Guozhong: "Which side are you?" ”

Yang Mingyang: "It doesn't matter which side it is, right?" Knowledge and action are one, and if you don't know, you can't do it......"

At this time, an old man walked in from the gate of the Qixia Hall in a trembling manner, and that person was Jin Huanqiang, the head of the Jin family in Liaoxi.

Jin Huanqiang's beard was white, his face was sallow, and the bags under his eyes were bigger than his eyes.

He seemed to have only one breath left, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty is the master for me, my two sisters-in-law are dead!" They all died when King Qin was king! ”

The emperor scratched his head: "This ...... We're looking at who the killer is. ”

Jin Huanqiang moved to Jin Yuguang step by step and looked at him.

Jin Yuguang's eyes were full of fear, he pointed at Li Guozhong, and said tremblingly: "Dad, yes...... It's the prime minister......"

Jin Huanqiang slapped Jin Yuguang in the face.

As the saying goes, "It doesn't hurt if it hurts, it doesn't hurt", this slap was very loud, but Jin Yuguang didn't move much, and his nose and mouth didn't bleed, but five red fingerprints appeared on his face.

The five red fingerprints stood out on his white face.

Jin Yuguang remained motionless.

Jin Huanqiang: "My two sons, Zhao'er died in Baoding, and you instigated it; Now it's Ming'er's turn. I said to Ming'er, let's not go to Chang'an, just live in Liaoxi for a lifetime. And you did everything possible to persuade him to come to Chang'an! Now you've killed him again. Are you satisfied now? ”

Kim Woo-gwang: "I swear, I love my brother. ”

Jin Huanqiang: "Shut up, I never treated you as my son!" ”

Jin Yuguang: "One blood and one bone, the parents who receive it." I ......"

Jin Huanqiang: "Evil animal, shut up!" You've been a bad eye since you were a child, you bad seed! You said it wasn't your idea to make trouble, you grew up stealing, fighting, and sowing discord everywhere! I really regret not beating you to death when I was a child! ”

Jin Yuguang: "Dad, I am forever grateful to you and my mother for raising me......"

Jin Huanqiang: "Evil animal! Don't call me Daddy! You're a sinister seed, and your mother is a slut! She's the woman I found from the Qinglou, a guy who rides thousands of people across the building! I gave your mother a few silver dollars to have an abortion, but she gave birth to a child and wanted to blackmail me. You're as bad as she is! I'm going to chop you into minced meat, and I want your mother to continue to send you to the Qinglou......"

Jin Yuguang's eyes burst into flames: "What are you talking about, don't insult my mother's ......"

Jin Huanqiang: "After I kill you, I will send her to the monk's temple......"

Jin Yuguang shouted: "You old brute, shut up! ”

He grabbed his father by the collar.

His father slapped his son in the face again.

Jin Yuguang slapped his father in the face with a backhand.

The people around all laughed at all this.

Jin Yuguang went crazy, he picked up his fist and smashed it at his father's forehead.

Jin Huanqiang immediately fell to the ground. He pouted his ass and tried to get up, but Kim Woo-gwang was completely crazy!

Jin Yuguang punched his father in the back of the head, one, two, three punches...... Until the retainers who came to their senses pulled him away.

There was a pool of blood on the ground, and Jin Huanqiang's head was already deformed.

The head of the Jin family in Liaoxi, one of the 12th families of the dignified Tianzihao, died like this, in the main hall of the palace.

It was quiet at the court.

The situation was developing so fast that no one could react.

Prime Minister Li Guozhong shouted: "Okay! Kill the second brother first, then kill the eldest brother, and then kill your father in front of the emperor! ”

Confucian sect leader Kong Youli: "Monarchs, ministers, fathers, sons, sons! The son actually dared to kill his father, Your Majesty, please give an order to thank the world for this son of evil! ”

Yang Mingyang, Minister of Survival: "The evidence is conclusive! Dare to kill people in public at the court! Cut according to the law! ”

Jin Yuguang's eyes just widened.

He knelt on the ground, lowered his head, looked at the ground, and did not speak.

He's finished.

He struggled to climb to the position of the head of the royal household, and it was all over.

Li Guozhong: "Come on, put him in prison!" ”

I think that Liu Xingchao finally killed a favorite of foreign courts.

-

-

Liu Xingchao, the head of the inner court, said: "Wait a minute! ”

The ministers all looked at him.

He stepped forward and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, although he killed his second brother, his eldest brother, and his father, he did not oppose the emperor." What to kill him for? ”

Kong Youli: "Monarchs, ministers, fathers, sons, sons!" How can a person who is not filial to his brother and father be loyal to the emperor? ”

Liu Xingchao: "Monarchs, ministers, fathers, sons, sons!" How can a man who is loyal to his brother's father be loyal to the emperor? The one who kills his brother and father for the emperor is the one who is truly loyal! It is the real 'monarch and minister, father and son'! ”

Li Guozhong: "If you don't kill this person, the world will not accept it!" ”

Liu Xingchao: "Who said that?" You call up the 4 billion people in the world and ask them one by one if they are not convinced. ”

Yang Mingyang: "According to the "Da Ming Law", the murderer dies!" ”

Liu Xingchao: "Da Ming Law"? I can change it, change it to 'death to the murderer, except for Jin Yuguang'." ”

A group of people from outside the court all stepped forward to demand that Jin Yuguang be executed. Most of them were lieutenant imperial officials.

At this time, the Minister of the Army, the Minister of Rites, the Minister of Industry, the Minister of Commerce, and the Minister of Taxation—the people of the Inner Court—came forward to ask for an amnesty for Kim Woo-gwang.

Liu Xingchao continued to say to the emperor: "This person has suffered a lot since he was a child, and if the emperor treats him well, he will naturally repay him with death." Now that the head of the Jin family in Liaoxi is dead, and the two sisters-in-law are also dead, what will happen to their government army? If you kill this person again, who will take care of their government army, government ministers, and government people? I think this person is good, although he doesn't love his father, but he loves his mother, and he loves the emperor. Besides, he's been a classmate of you since he was a teenager, and His Majesty can't bear to kill him? ”

He glanced around and continued, "Your Majesty doesn't want chaos in Liaoxi, right? The Liaoxi Army must be managed, and the Liaoxi Jin clan and Liaoxi Province must be under our control! Why don't you put Jin Yuguang on the top? ”

Emperor Zhu Honghua patted the dragon chair: "I think so too!" Jin Yuguang is a good person, we have known each other for more than ten years. Maybe his brother died of food poisoning. Since the governor and the ministers said that he was loyal, I would allow him to become the head of the Jin family in Liaoxi and the governor of Liaoxi! ”

Jin Yuguang suddenly raised his head and looked at the emperor and Liu Xingchao, the head of the inner court.

Within minutes, his life was reversed!

Tears and snot fell, and he choked up and said, "I swear that I will always be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor in this life and this life!" ”

He stared at Prime Minister Li Guozhong with fierce eyes.

I thought with admiration, it is not the intention of the governor to kill a favorite minister of the foreign court, he is to kill the entire foreign court!

Xie Lingxue, Minister of Rites, stepped forward: "Your Majesty, according to the newly formulated law of the Ming Dynasty, Duke Zhu Mengsha will marry Jin Yuguang." ”

When the Second Ministry of Survival was in power, in order to stop the population growth, the Ming Dynasty Law forbade second marriage, and widows and abandoned women were to be left alone until they died. However, now that the Ministry of Survival is in power, rapid population growth is the national policy, so the new Ming Dynasty law stipulates that widows and abandoned women must marry and have children within one year, and specifically stipulates that after the death of the elder brother, his wife must marry the younger brother. In fact, in ancient times, it was also stipulated that after the death of the father, his wife should pass it on to the son, but this rule was sworn to resist by Confucianism, so it did not count. Confucianism also objected to the rule that the elder brother's wife should marry the younger brother, but now the Survival Ministry is too powerful for them to succeed.

Confucian sect leader Kong Youli stepped forward and said: "Monarchs, ministers, fathers, sons, sons! Your Majesty, my father will be filial for five years. Besides, the princess is not officially married, so this law cannot be applied. Moreover, the law of the Ming Dynasty only applies to the scholars and commoners, and the so-called law does not apply to the royal family, so the princess cannot remarry. ”

Next to him, the royal priest assistant Kong Zhilun, who was also his concubine, said: "Your Majesty, the royal law also stipulates that in case of emergency, with the permission of the emperor, you can avoid filial piety. The emperor promised in front of his ministers yesterday, how can this be regarded as 'no formal marriage'? I suggested that the princess marry Jin Yuguang as the main courtier, and Jin Yuguang should marry Jin Yuming's five wives together. The emperor is much more than the law, and you dare not listen to what the emperor says? ”

Kong Youli angrily scolded his son: "Do you have any humanity!" How can a younger brother marry a sister-in-law! ”

Kong Zhilun said slowly: "Lord Sect Master, the law is always higher than human ethics, and the law says that if you can marry, you can marry." If your ethics don't even meet the requirements of the law, how can you convince people? Besides, the emperor is the greatest! Do you dare not listen to the emperor? Haven't you heard of 'kings, ministers, fathers, sons'? Is it you big or the emperor is big? ”

Kong Youli pointed at his son: "You...... You ......"

Emperor: "That makes sense, that's right." ”

He glanced around, but no one spoke, and said, "Retreat!" ”

Evening Inner Court assembly.

The personnel are still the same, but there is one more person - Jin Yuguang, the head of the household department. Since the death of the head of the household four years ago, there has been no head of the ministry in the Inner Court assembly.

Liu Xingchao: "I was also from the bottom and was insulted. I hate it when people come up and talk about things! ”

Jin Yuguang: "Thank you, Lord, Lord, who is my reborn parent." ”

Liu Xingchao: "Don't thank me, you deserve it yourself, and it is also rewarded by the emperor." ”

Jin Yuguang stared at Liu Xingchao and said, "I am willing to castrate, join the inner court, and be loyal to the head of the inner court!" ”

The head of the inner court stared at him for a long time, as if looking at his heart.

He patted him on the shoulder and said, "Why bother, why bother! Besides, even if I agree, can the princess agree? Ha ha. You stay outside and stare at the prime minister. He might be going to rebel! ”

Jin Yuguang: "Master Steward, no problem! ”
