Zhen Shiyuan's old face turned red and glanced at Qiao Ran complainingly.

The smile on the face of the girl who has always been calm and calm couldn't help but stiffen, and even Pei Qingqing on the side looked dull.

God knows, they actually saw a little shyness on Zhen Shiyuan's face.

Pei Qingqing was frightened: This faceless Dali Siqing didn't expect to show such an expression, it's really ...... Well, she didn't know why she suddenly felt a little cold. The little girl looked around a little puzzled, she hadn't encountered such a chilling feeling for a long time since she could remember.

Qiao Ran was shocked: I originally thought that Zhen Shiyuan should have cultivated a cheeky face at his age, but I didn't expect to blush when I talked about it.

However, blushing is blushing, in the end, it is a dignified Dali Temple, and he is far calmer than ordinary people when he encounters such things.

When he came back to his senses, he coughed and said, "This...... My wife usually wipes off her lip fat before eating and drinking, and even if it's too late, she tries to avoid drinking water, so I occasionally ...... Accidentally enter some. ”

But let's not talk about how to enter, after all, the child is here! Zhen Shiyuan looked at Pei Qingqing, who was curious on the side, and coughed dryly again, don't look over: Eh! It's weird, I'm embarrassed.

Speaking of which, she is also half a child, how did she know this? Zhen Shiyuan thought like this, and couldn't help but look up and down at the girl in front of him: Reasoning can be said to be talent, but this ...... Can you also be self-taught? Lie! Zhen Shiyuan couldn't help but snort secretly when he thought about it: It's strange that this can be self-taught, it seems that most of it is a good thing done by the seemingly sanctimonious Zhang Xie boy.

I really know people and don't know their hearts, and I can't just look at people's appearances! Look at such a gentleman-like person, but in private, he is like this.

His old face was flushed, but the two girls opposite him looked calm, especially the indifferent appearance of the big one, as if he was talking about a normal thing.

"The food in the mouth has been checked and tested, but the saliva that Concubine Xian wiped on her mouth should not be checked and tested!" Qiao Ran said.

Who really dared to try Concubine Xian's lipstick, then he really put his head on the waistband of his trousers and found death.

"If Emperor Ming Chang died because of poison, the poison must not be a poison that kills immediately, and he will not be aware of it at first." Qiao Ran said, "So the order of Emperor Mingchang and Concubine Xian's violent deaths is correct. ”

This makes perfect sense. Zhen Shiyuan instinctively said: "In this way, you only need to check the lipstick used by Concubine Xian every day to determine, and then according to the source of the lipstick, you may be able to find the black hand behind the scenes." ”

In the end, it is Dali Siqing, and there is no problem with the means and methods of investigating the case.

Qiao Ran nodded, but spread her hands: "But this happened a hundred years ago." ”

The people in the palace have changed several times, and the objects don't know where to put them, as for the opening of the coffin and the autopsy, don't think about it, the emperor's coffin lets you move casually, don't you want your head?

Therefore, even if this speculation is reasonable, there is no way to confirm it.

Zhen Shiyuan secretly said that it was a pity: Dali Siqing will be inexplicably stained with some quirks after a long time, such as having a guess about one thing and wanting to confirm it, of course, some are just thinking about it, not to mention that if this matter is really as she guessed, Concubine Xian and Emperor Mingchang were poisoned to death. Even if the mastermind behind this matter has nothing to do with His Majesty's grandfather? But the biggest beneficiary is undoubtedly His Majesty's grandfather. Do you really want to check it as an ordinary case? The first person to question is the Son of Heaven, he has a few heads that can be cut off!

To this? Zhen Shiyuan was a little embarrassed.

"Of course? There's no way to confirm it, so it's just speculation. The girl in front of her said calmly.

Seeing this, Zhen Shi couldn't help but sigh again: Some people are really favored by God? Level-headed and well-connected? Far ahead of his peers.

"What if we assume that these things are true? In addition to ......" The girl said and her eyes deviated in the direction of the imperial city, and then continued, "In addition to the possible mastermind, there is also a possibility that the queen mother was at that time." ”

The biological mother of Emperor Ming Chang. This is also the beginning of many unreasonable places to find their origins.

"Ordinary people always think that parents will not harm their children for no reason? Except for a very small number of cases. "Qiao Ran said? " Especially in the heavenly family, the only son ascended the throne as the emperor, which is said to be a great thing for the queen mother, but what she does always reveals disobedience. ”

Zhen Shiyuan raised his eyebrows, looking at the calm expression on the girl's face and was silent for a long time? Only then did he slowly speak: "Could it be ...... Is it the one I think it is? ”

The girl tilted her head and looked a little cute? She asked Zhen Shiyuan with a smile: "Which one might be what the adult said?" ”

Zhen Shiyuan was silent and dipped the tea on the side? The hand wrote a "sub" on the table, and then slowly drew a cross on this "sub".

A son is not a child.

What if Emperor Mingchang, who died young, was not the empress's parent? This idea only seems strange at first thought? But when I think about it, I find that there are many strange and inconsistent details.

Just from the beginning? The Queen's Birth? The queen who has nothing to do or only one woman will not end up very well, after all, although Da Chu also has a situation where a woman is the emperor, but after all, it is only a few, in the case of a son, the throne is decided, it is impossible for the emperor to fall on the woman.

Therefore, in order to consolidate the throne and consider for the future, the queen must give birth to a son, but it is not up to the queen herself to give birth to a son, what if the queen did not give birth to a son at that time? In order to "must" give birth to a son, where does this son come from?

This kind of thing is not a trivial matter, and it must not be leaked, so the source of this son must be extremely trusted by the queen, then the most likely source is the queen's maternal family, the Taishi Mansion.

"This is not a guess, the queen's sister-in-law was pregnant at that time," Qiao Ran said and wrote again, "The "Palace Banquet Record" written by a former imperial chef of the folk once wrote that the queen was pregnant when she presided over the palace banquet, and specially asked him to prepare a meal suitable for pregnant women to eat for her sister-in-law, and the sister-in-law gave birth to a baby boy first, but unfortunately I heard that the baby boy was not in good shape but died in January, and Emperor Mingchang's birthday was on the day after the baby boy died, my lord, Coincidence or not, you say? ”

As long as the harem and the imperial doctor are taken care of, for Emperor Yongchang, who has never been in contact with such a child in his daily life, he can't see the child who is a month earlier or a month later, and as for growing up, don't say that it's a month late, it's hard to distinguish it from one year or two at night.

After all, there are people who are born old in life, and there are people who are born with a childish face, and it is the most unreliable to recognize people by looking at their faces.

"Then the queen must not have given birth to a baby boy, or a stillborn baby or a baby girl." The girl speculated unhurriedly, "I won't talk about stillbirths, but if it's a baby girl, it's not impossible." ”

A thrill flashed in Zhen Shiyuan's mind: "The daughter of the Taishi Mansion who had an accident?" ”

Although the daughter of the Taishi Mansion who had an accident was two years younger than the prince, it was like the relationship between a month late and a year or two later, it was not difficult for a young lady of the Taishi Mansion to cheat her age, not to mention that the daughter of the Taishi Mansion was already thin and weak, and she rarely made friends with people.

"If that's the case, doesn't it explain why Queen Tong asked the prince to marry a woman with poor bones as the crown princess?" The girl raised her eyebrows, "Although the prince is also half of his own family, he is not the blood of his relatives, and the queen especially likes this girl who looks like herself." ”

At this time, listening to the words "looks similar" always feels a little ridiculous.

"The Emperor Mingchang who died young is a very smart and wise person, and people who are a hundred years from now can guess a thing or two through these official histories, and Emperor Mingchang who is in the game can guess it, or it is not strange that the Queen Mother's mother said that she leaked her mouth or something!" Qiao Ran thought for a while and said, "No matter how parents hide it, it is extremely difficult to control their thoughts. What's more, this son is so good, although he has a better future, sometimes he can't help it.

Zhen Shiyuan, who heard this, couldn't help but hum, nodded and said "Not bad", he is also a parent, he has a deep understanding.

"Emperor Mingchang did a lot of practical things during his reign, in short, whether it is out of ambition or desire for power, at least it can prove that Emperor Mingchang does not reject the throne, and even likes it." When the girl said this, she couldn't help but pause, and then said lightly, "After all, there are few people in the world who don't like this!" ”

"If the son is not the son, for Emperor Mingchang, who wants this throne, it is obviously not a wise choice to marry such a woman as a concubine and only let her give birth to offspring." Qiao Ran couldn't help but shake his head as he spoke, and said helplessly, "But he didn't come from the right position, and he couldn't resist his mother, so it's not surprising that he would do something that wasn't out of his will!" ”

After all, a hundred years apart, none of them have seen the Emperor Mingchang, but judging from the merits of later generations, this emperor is not a mediocre talent, nor is he an indecisive person who drags mud and water...... It's not impossible. Moreover, judging from the evidence later, it is indeed very likely that the accident of the daughter of the Taishi Mansion is indeed related to him.

Of course, in this case, the Queen Mother noticed the matter, and it can be explained by her actions such as succeeding King An, winning over King Yong, poisoning, etc.

"Actually, my guess is not impossible to verify, and the way to confirm it is very simple." Qiao Ran said this, and glanced at Zhen Shiyuan, "The case of the daughter of the Taishi Mansion was through my Dali Temple, and the colleagues of Dali Temple a hundred years ago were also extremely powerful, and they not only wrote the autopsy results in great detail, but also the burial location. The girl raised her chin slightly when she said this, "Actually...... Just let Feng Qizuo go and look at the age of the girl's bones when she died to verify all our guesses. ”

After all, there are very few things that have passed without a trace, not to mention that the officials of Dali Temple back then were also very powerful, although at this time those Dali Temple officials were no longer able to speak, but she believed that they were also aware of this. Otherwise, why would there be such a strange closing report? How could the treasury of Dali Temple leave so many wild and official histories of the year? Maybe it's also in the hope that future generations will find out!

As for why it wasn't exposed at the time...... One is that officials are also human beings, and it is human instinct to cherish their lives, and it is undoubtedly a foolish act to fight against the imperial power with their own strength and encounter a catastrophe, and the other is that from the perspective of later generations, this Emperor Mingchang is indeed an extremely wise emperor, and if he lives long enough, it is indeed possible to bring about a real peaceful and prosperous world.

A wise emperor is a good thing for both the courtiers and the people, and if he abandons this wise emperor and holds on to this matter, he knows what kind of person he will succeed.

Therefore, it was definitely not a good choice to poke this matter out at that time. But as officials of Dali Temple, it is their duty to expose the truth of the case, so they still left clues in Dali Temple to guide future generations to notice, and even recorded the most critical evidence.

These have nothing to do with reasoning, but choices made in the face of big things. Qiao Ran can figure out what he can understand, how can Zhen Shiyuan, who has been in officialdom for most of his life, not understand?

Sure enough, Zhen Shiyuan fell silent when he heard this, and after a long time, he said to Qiao Ran solemnly: "This matter ...... Let's rot in my stomach for the time being! ”

At that time, it could not be exposed because the crown prince would be a wise monarch, and now it cannot be exposed because the empress was a young son who was not inferior to the prince at that time. If Emperor Mingchang is not the blood of the emperor, then the empress, who is a descendant of Emperor Mingchang, is also "unjustifiable", so this matter cannot be exposed, otherwise it will inevitably lead to turmoil in the court, and even cause trouble in the military family again.

"I will find out these because of the official silver of the ninth year of Yongchang," the girl said, she did not forget to lead them to verify the object of this matter, "My lord, you and I are just guessing, there is no evidence, and the big position in the world has nothing to do with the two of us, but that little guy will die because of the official silver of Yongchang nine years, I boldly guess that maybe you and I are not the only ones who know about this." ”

Moreover, compared with the specious evidence left by the ancestors of Dali Temple and their many unsubstantiated speculations here, those people who want this batch of Yongchang nine-year official silver may really have other plans.

The seven emotions and six desires of people are nothing more than those kinds, the throne is the pinnacle of power, and it is possible to take risks for the throne and do dangerous things.

Zhen Shiyuan was silent for a moment, and suddenly glanced at her: "Then how can this case be investigated?" ”

Although the matter of the world's great position is thrilling, it has nothing to do with him, and that gambling contract is what he is most worried about at the moment.

Investigate the death of a small servant and find out that the emperor is not right, it will really scare people to death. Does he still want his Dali Temple?

The girl smiled and spread her hands: "That's not what you and I should worry about, isn't there Xie Chengze and Xu Hexiu?" After a pause, without waiting for Zhen Shiyuan to speak, the girl said again, "They may not be able to think of this stubble, even if they think of this stubble, they may not be able to find it, even if they can find it, the two of them are not fools, they naturally know what should be investigated and what should not be investigated, and they will stop." ”

Zhen Shiyuan raised his eyebrows, noncommittal, but after a pause, he said: "This case is not only here, Yuanheng Qianzhuang, the people who tried to seize this batch of official silver are all verifiable, this is not a small case." "It's up to them to find out where they go.

"Cases can be big or small." The girl took over his words, "If Yuanheng Qianzhuang and the people who tried to seize this batch of official silver are not traceable, isn't there still that killer!" There are not a few human lives on the hands of such people, and it is not a wrong thing to arrest such a murderer! ”
