Chapter 378: The Ins and Outs
After a tea time, in the small kitchen where Shen Shu decocted medicine, Shen Shu finally learned from Chu Zhan about the grievances between the prince and the old Rui Wang.
Fifteen years ago, today's saints were busy expanding their territory, and they frequently drove in person, and they were not often in the capital.
In order to train the prince and deal with the government affairs, the emperor ordered the fifteen-year-old prince to supervise the country, and the twenty-five-year-old Rui Wang Chu Tianxi assisted the government affairs.
This is a good story of father's kindness and filial piety, brother's friendship and brother's respect, and martial arts.
However, Chu Tianxi, the king of Rui, stumbled upon the prince's unknown secret......
"There is a courtyard in the Cheng'en Mansion on the outskirts of the city, which is the most frequented place by the prince outside the palace. That year, there were often girls missing in the capital, and Jing Zhaoyin investigated the case and found that courtyard. When his father got the news, he felt strange, pressed the matter on his face, and secretly sent someone to investigate secretly, but he didn't expect to find out that these girls were missing, all of which were related to the prince. ”
"The prince is the foundation of the country, and the prince is young, but he is cruel and murderous in the matter of the bed. The matter is serious, and my father does not dare to hide it, so he urgently reports to the emperor for eight hundred miles. ”
"When the emperor learned of this, the class teacher returned to the court, and secretly ordered the shadow guard to investigate the matter thoroughly, purge the prince's close attendants, and have the heart to abolish the reserve."
"The prince cried bitterly, crying in front of the emperor that he was framed, and the emperor was suspicious, and because no evidence was found, he only let the prince think about it behind closed doors for the time being."
"The prince has a grudge against his father, coinciding with the emperor Mount Tai to seal Zen, the prince used secrets to plot a wedge between the emperor and his father, and repeatedly told the emperor that his father had a heart of disobedience, and the case of the girl's murder was framed by his father, and at the same time, he set up a killing game on the top of the Zen ceremony, and wanted to assassinate the emperor in the name of his father."
"My father got the news and went to see him overnight, wanting to expose the prince's conspiracy and defend himself. But the emperor was already suspicious of his father, although he didn't show it on his face, his father could see that the emperor was more willing to believe in the prince than him. ”
Later, although his father had been prepared, he was still exploited by the prince's people. In a desperate situation, his father blocked the fatal feather arrow for the emperor, exchanged his own life for the emperor's life, and saved the life of the Rui Wangfu......"
Speaking of this, Chu Zhan's face could not hide his anger: "After his father jumped off the cliff and 'died', the prince was afraid of showing his feet, and knew that he could no longer push everything on his father's head, so he swept away the beginning and the end, and pointed the evidence to Xihun to make a detailed work, and the emperor knew that his father was to blame, which was the favor of Rui Wangfu." ”
"These things were handled very secretively back then, and even the queen didn't know about it. In the past fifteen years, the prince has shown his honest and gentle face, and no one knows what happened back then. ”
When Shen Shu heard this, he finally understood why the prince, who was born as a prince and above 10,000 people under one person, would be so scheming to put the emperor and die-
The murder of the young girl back then, and the emperor's desire to abolish the prince, like a sharp sword hanging over the prince's head, may leave the prince with nothing at any time.
The crown prince can only take advantage of the emperor's thirty years of poisoning to poison the emperor to death, once and for all.
Shen Shu looked at Chu Zhan and asked thoughtfully: "This time the prince incident happened, and King Lao Rui returned to Beijing and entered the palace, is it to let the emperor remember the events of the year?" ”
Chu Zhan nodded.
"After the emperor woke up this time, he ordered someone to thoroughly investigate the East Palace. Feiyuwei found dozens of women's bones at the bottom of the East Palace Garden, many of which had already turned into white bones, which shows that over the years, generosity and humility have just been the disguise of the prince. It is precisely because of this that the emperor understands the grievances suffered by his father back then, and can also understand why his father was instigated by Bai Jin to commit such a mistake when he was in Western Hungary. ”
Shen Shu declined to comment.
She was not interested in the grievances between the emperor and King Lao Rui.
In the final analysis, state affairs are also family affairs for them.
It's just that Shen Shu grew up in the border pass since she was a child, and she went out of the family of the generals, in her opinion, just the "understanding" of the Son of Heaven can't make up for the disasters and pain brought by the war to the border soldiers and people.
Shen Shu was very fortunate that at this point, Chu Yi, who was the "God of War" in the hearts of the people of the Great Zhou, had almost the same opinion as her.
No matter how heavy the grievances and sufferings that King Lao Rui endured back then, it was not an excuse for him to take refuge in the Western Hungarians and raise poisonous slaves and wage war against the Great Zhou.
Shen Shu didn't want to delve into Chu Zhan on this topic, so she asked: "Listening to what you said, the truth of the case back then has been clarified, so why didn't the emperor treat the crown prince?" Instead, let Xiao Qingchu and the Chengen Mansion bear all the blame? The emperor sent the crown prince to guard the mausoleum, left him the title of prince, the prince was seriously ill, and sent the imperial doctor to treat him, and even allowed the queen to visit, what was it for? ”
"To find someone."
This time, Chu Zhan didn't hide it anymore: "The ghost master in the mouth of the East Palace." ”
"Ghost Master?" Shen Shu had never heard of this person.
Chu Zhan nodded: "The Flying Fish Guard came out of the mouth of the prince's close attendant, and there is a mysterious person living in the prince's garden, who is responsible for handling private affairs for the prince. Judging from the news that Feiyuwei has mastered, the ghost master has been by the prince's side many years ago, but for so many years, no one in the East Palace knows where the ghost master came from, no one has seen the true face of the ghost master, and no one knows the whereabouts of the ghost master now. What's strange is that the ghost master is very familiar with the secrets of the palace thirty years ago, and he knows the poison of the emperor well. ”
Chu Zhan said this, looked at Shen Shu's confused expression, and explained: "Thirty years ago, after the change of the Queen Mother's palace and the death of the first emperor, before the emperor ascended the throne, the Queen Mother took advantage of the emperor's preoccupation with the palace and washed all the palace people in the palace in blood. The crown prince had just been born at that time, how could he know what happened back then, and how could he know the secret of the emperor's poisoning, presumably the ghost master told him. ”
"Who is the ghost master, where did he know about the events of thirty years ago, and how did he become the prince's confidant...... These are all things that the emperor and his father want to investigate clearly. ”
Shen Shu: "Do you think that the ghost master is the instigator behind the prince's scenes?" ”
"Yes or no, you can only figure it out if you catch the ghost master."
Chu Zhan said meaningfully: "You have just met Imperial Doctor Dusk, and you must have known that the prince's illness is very strange. And the news I got here was that the day before the onset of the prince's illness, the informant I arranged at the imperial tomb had disappeared and his whereabouts are still unknown. It's not just me, I'm afraid that the people arranged by King Yi in the Emperor's Tomb will also end up in the same way. ”
"It's almost certain that the prince is sick this time, and the ghost master will never be able to escape it, we have waited for so long, and the fox tail of the ghost master is finally about to be revealed."
Chu Zhan said, staring at Shen Shu's apricot eyes, and said seriously: "Now that I have told you everything I know, are you willing to help me find out the ghost master?" ”
