Chapter 330: Two Possibilities, One Answer
Dali Temple and the Criminal Department quickly submitted the results of the first round of interrogation to Zhu Zhanji.
Judging from the population of each person, there was not much doubt about the two days when the emperor's condition suddenly deteriorated. The two recitals also mentioned the golden pill offered by the Tianlu Dao people.
Zhu Zhanji's head suddenly "buzzed":
Tianlu Daoist was brought back by him to Li Fu, at that time it was to cater to Emperor Taizong, who knew that the emperor's grandfather ate his golden pill, saying that the effect was very good, not only people are very spiritual, but also can relieve pain.
Later, his father's foot disease and unbearable pain, the crown prince Zhu Zhanji recommended Tianlu Daoist to his father, who once relied on his golden pill to relieve the pain.
It wasn't until Hua Qiao adjusted his diet for him that the frequency of foot disease attacks was much less.
What is hateful is that this year's New Year's Day congratulatory gift, Tianlu Dao people offered Jin Dan again, and after Emperor Hongxi ate it, he felt very spirited and regarded it as a miracle medicine, and also set up a special place for Tianlu Dao people to refine pills in the palace.
What's even more terrifying is that Emperor Taizong has also eaten the pill of Tianlu Daoren...... If you continue to look through it like this, it will be even more uncontrollable what will happen.
"There is no doubt that this is the end of the matter at this time, the emperor is weak, and it is helpless to die violently. I only hate that I am far away in Yingtianfu, and I have not been able to fulfill my filial piety in front of the bed, so let the emperor enter the earth as soon as possible. ”
After Xu Zhijin and Wang Zhang left, Zhu Zhanji drew out a list of the former emperor's concubines, and after Zhu Pen sketched out a few names, he threw the pen on the dragon case.
But in the early morning of the next day, the king of Han proposed again to investigate the cause of the death of the emperor, Zhu Zhanji pretended not to hear, he did not talk, and the courtiers did not dare to agree.
Hu Yanjin came out of the column to salute the emperor, turned sideways to look at King Han, and said with a smile: "The first thing at present is the funeral of the first emperor, and the second is His Majesty's enthronement ceremony, and the rest of the things are under these two things."
If the King of Han wants to investigate, His Majesty can also investigate why the prince's treasure ship passed through Shandong before the New Year's Day last year, but why did it sink the Cao River for no reason? Your Majesty is kind, but not ignorant. King Han, why do you force Your Majesty to pursue it?
Also, in the Nanjing City Rebellion case, the deposed King of Qi who hanged himself to death was still calling a person's name before he died, guess who this person is? ”
Hu Yanjin said two things, the ministers in the Beijing division rarely heard of it, although he did not name it, but he looked at the king of Han and said, this is not the same as revealing the mystery? There was a lot of talk for a while.
King Han didn't expect Hu Yanjin to rebel against him, so he was speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to answer.
Zhu Zhanji was overjoyed, nodded to Hu Yanjin and said: "What Aiqing said is very true, if it is not related to the ceremony in the funeral in the past few days, the performance will be postponed." ”
Jian Yi, Xia Yuanji and others responded one after another, and there was no one in the court who openly supported King Han.
After retiring from the dynasty, as soon as Zhu Zhanji walked into the Qianqing Palace, he saw Hu Yanjin, Xu Zhijin and Hua Qiao waiting for him outside the palace gate.
"Is there something wrong with you?"
"Brother Huang, Hua Qiao has found the cause of his father's death. You are innocent of the buckwheat first, and the buckwheat can be said. ”
Zhu Zhanji suddenly felt that this sentence in her mouth was familiar, as if she had heard her say it.
With a smile on his face, he said:
"Of course you are not guilty, and it is the two of them who are guilty. Tell me, what did you discover again, the detective princess. ”
Xu Zhijin first said: "What we finally locked in is two possibilities, one is the poisoning of Jindan, and the other is that the first emperor's chronic illness was stimulated, causing the body to be unable to bear it. But, Your Majesty, please look. ”
Hua Qiao opened the wooden box he was holding, and dozens of pills the size of bayberry suddenly appeared in it. She said:
"This is taken out by the father-in-law of Fuquan, he said that I don't know if we can find the pill again, most of the pills offered by the Tianlu Dao people are here, and the number of pills taken by the father does not exceed five. According to this statement, the trace toxicity of the pill is not enough to poison the father to death. ”
Zhu Zhanji took the box of pills and sighed deeply. His guilt, this is really letting go.
Hua Buckwheat said again:
"Buckwheat today...... Quietly went to the mourning hall. ”
"You! ...... Can this also be seen as a joke? He is your father, and he is the king...... Has it been seen? ”
Zhu Zhanji knew that Hua Qiao was bold, but he didn't expect that she would even dare to open the emperor's coffin!
"No, no...... Zhang Yue broke everyone up for me......"
"Zhang Yue? He was even rolled up in it! Are you going to bring all the royal brother's ministers into trouble? ”
Hu Yanjin smiled secretly: You are so angry when you open the coffin, it is not for us to stop her, she has to dissect all the internal organs to take a look before she is willing to give up!
"Look at you...... I just said that I was not guilty......"
"You are not guilty, the three of them, all go to the border to fill the army!"
"Brother Huang...... Then you can also punish me to the border pass, before you go to the border pass, you must first allow me to leave the palace and kill the person who killed my father and the emperor!" Hua Qiao said firmly.
"Kill...... Are you saying that my father was killed? Zhu Zhanji didn't expect Hua Qiao to come to this conclusion.
"Not bad. The opinion of the High Court and Hua Qiao is that a trigger is needed to stimulate the old disease of the former emperor and turn it into a fatal disease. And this requires a very good understanding of the emperor's illness to be able to do this, so we will target the Tai Hospital. ”
Hu Yanjin explained: "In order not to let the murderer be aware, Lord Xu is in the light, the minister is in the dark, Ming only pays attention to the pill, and secretly, we check the people they contacted.
In the last two days of the emperor, the high court of the Tai Hospital and the envoy of the Zhou Yuan frequently entered and exited the Qianqing Palace, so they have been ignored. This Zhou court envoy actually had a connection with Zhu Wenzhi. ”
"I carefully observed my father's body, although it had been a long time, but because there were ice cubes on the outside and embalming spices inside the coffin, my father's appearance, skin and nails were still the same.
You should be ...... I went to see my father for the last time...... Because I couldn't see my body, I just ruled out the possibility of my father's poisoning, and from the symptoms before his death, it can be judged that he died suddenly from heart palsy. ”
Hua Qiao hung her head, and thought of her mother, Lan Cairen.
"We interrogated Zhou Guangnian, and he has already confessed that it was he who took the opportunity to ask the emperor for his pulse, and repeatedly mentioned to the emperor that Li Shimian and Lord Li gave him advice, and said that the government and the opposition blamed the emperor for this. The emperor was so angry that he swallowed his breath in only three hours.
Zhou Guangnian also said that Concubine Shun was actually deceived into going to the palace of the first emperor, and deliberately let the living attendants see it, which gave Li Shimian's advice. ”
Hu Yanjin was also very surprised when he heard these contents, and he believed that anger can kill anger.
Zhu Zhanji was silent for a while before he said, "I won't let Zhu Wenzhi go, and Zhou Guangnian will be executed immediately!" However, for the sake of my father's face, there is no need to make it public at this time.
Today in the court, Hu Yan relieved the siege for me, and was about to promote you to the right capital of the Inspectorate, and together with Liu Guan, I would take care of me in the Inspectorate. ”
Whether he is promoted or not, it really doesn't matter to Hu Yanjin, he smiled lightly:
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
