After dinner, Zhang Qi returned to the council hall, sat at the table, and reviewed the recital.

It's just that his heart has been remembering the results of the investigation, and the results of the investigation have not come out, and there is no way for him to calm down in his heart, so after reading the folds for a while, he did not read, but sat on the chair and pondered.

It wasn't until half an hour later that a young man in brocade walked in from outside and knelt on one knee in front of Zhang Qi, which made Zhang Qi come back from his contemplation directly, looked at the young man and said:

"Aiqing, let's be even, quickly follow the results of my investigation, those people are involved in Qi Zheng"

"Your Majesty, the queen mother was poisoned, the shadow has all been investigated, and the four people in the harem, Concubine Zhen, Concubine Li, Concubine Yu, and Concubine Hua conspired, and in addition to them, several people were also involved in this matter." The young man looked at Zhang Qidao.

"Whoever else, tell me everything." Zhang Qi said with a gloomy face after hearing the young man's words.

"There are also right Xianghua Tongyi, Wu Qiang, the squire of the military department, Li Que, the chief eunuch of the harem, and Wei Yu of the Tai Hospital, ......" The young man came out with more than ten names in one breath, and when he finished, Zhang Qi's face was already very ugly.

And after a short period of contemplation, Zhang Qi looked at the prince beside him and said, "You go and bring General Gongsun De, Zuo Xiang Sun Kong, Zhou Hai, the servant of the Criminal Department, and Jiang Shan, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, to me, and I have something to discuss with them." ”

"It's Your Majesty, the slave will do it." When the prince heard the anger hidden in Zhang Qi's tone, he shuddered in his heart, immediately responded, and then walked out of the hall.

"Shadow, you should have all the evidence." After the prince left, Zhang Qi looked at the young man and asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Shadow, you have all the evidence."

"That's good, I'm going to let them know what happened if they did something wrong." Zhang Qi said with a gloomy face.

"Your Majesty, forgive the shadow for saying a lot of words, after this investigation, your harem is really dark enough, and you will shoot each other for one thing, which makes me all frightened."

"What did you find?" Zhang Qi looked at the young man and asked.

"Your Majesty, in your harem, except for a few concubines who are close to the queen, and those concubines who have just entered the palace not long ago, the other concubines already have human lives in their hands, more or less, but they are all burdened with human lives, and the eldest princess was almost killed a year ago, which is related to one of the concubines, according to the investigation, it was the concubine who poisoned the eldest princess." The young man looked at Zhang Qidao.

Boom!

"Okay, I really didn't expect that my harem actually lived a group of femme fatales. Very good, Shadow, check it for me, check everyone in the harem for me, the guilty, the light one exiled, the heavy one... Exterminate the three tribes. ”

"Yes, my subordinates understand."

"Okay, you go down first, write out all the participants who poisoned the queen, and then you will go with General Gongsun De to arrest people."

"Yes, my subordinates understand."

Then the young men came to the council chamber.

And after the young man left, Zhang Qi pondered again, thinking about how to deal with those who murdered the queen.

And so, half an hour later.

Gongsun De, Zuo Xiang Sun Kong and others walked in.

"Your Majesty!"

"No outsiders, get up." Zhang Qi looked at the four people kneeling on the ground.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"I called you here because the poisoning of the queen has already been investigated." Zhang Qi said.

"Then Your Majesty has also figured out how to deal with this matter." Zhou Hai, the waiter of the Criminal Department, looked at Zhang Qi and asked.

"That's right, I have already figured out how to deal with it, that is, to tell you, because dealing with them will bring some shocks to the imperial court, and you will need to suppress them at that time, especially Sun Xiang, after this matter is dealt with, you will suppress the civil officials, and you will also find someone with both ability and political integrity to take over the vacant position."

"Your Majesty, could it be that some courtiers are also involved in this matter." Sun Kong, who was already seventy years old, looked at Zhang Qi in disbelief and asked.

"That's right, the right minister Hua Tongyi, the military squire Wu Qiang, are also involved, they have touched my reverse scales, the right minister of the three dynasties, I can exempt him from the death penalty, but the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped, from now on, he will be exempted from the post of prime minister, expelled from Kyoto, and sent to the western border, Wu Qiang, the squire of the military department, and the nine clans, all those who participate in this matter will die." Zhang Qi said.

"This, why is he so confused." After hearing Zhang Qi's words, Sun Kong said helplessly.

"I also want to know, why did he harm the queen, after all, the queen has no grievances with him, and she respects him very much, but he harms the queen with others, and I will personally ask him why."

"Alas! Your Majesty, to tell the truth, the minister has been fighting with Hua Tongyi all his life, and now he has made a mistake and was punished by His Majesty, but the minister is not happy in his heart, the minister is bold, please Your Majesty received the order to send Hua Xiang to the border, after all, he is seventy-five years old and can't stand the toss, so please also ask Your Majesty to see that he has done his best for the court, don't send him out, okay. Sun Kong knelt on the ground and said.

When Zhang Qi heard Sun Kong's words, his eyes stared at Sun Kong for a long time, and finally nodded and said, "Okay, just do what Sun Xiang does." ”

"The minister thanked His Majesty for his great kindness."

"Okay, Elder Sun, get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"General Gongsun, I have a list of personnel here, you take this list and take the forbidden army to arrest people, tomorrow morning, I will deal with them in front of all the ministers."

"It's Your Majesty, and the minister obeys the order."

Subsequently, after Zhang Qi discussed some things with the four of them, he asked them to go back.

And he himself also went to the Mingde Temple.

"Wang Xi, from the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, you are the chief eunuch, don't live up to my expectations, you know?" On the way to the Mingde Palace, Zhang Qi said to the prince beside him.

"Your Majesty handed over such a heavy task to the minions, and the minions were terrified, but the minions swore that they would never live up to Your Majesty's expectations, and they would definitely manage all the eunuchs and palace maids in the harem for Your Majesty, and there would never be any deception." The prince knelt on the ground and said.

"Okay, I believe you, get up." After that, Zhang Qi continued to walk towards the Mingde Palace.

At this time, in the Mingde Palace, Ye Lingdao was held in his arms by Gongsun Xiaoyue, and looked at Gongsun Xiaoyue with a smile.

"Emperor, now your father and the emperor have made the palace restless in order to find out who poisoned the queen mother, and the final reason is that he has too many women, and the queen mother hopes that the emperor will not have so many women in the future, because only in this way can you control everything, unlike your father, the emperor, who has lost control of his concubines."

"The queen mother, the child doesn't understand."

"Silly boy, when you grow up. You will understand what the queen mother is saying. ”

"Oh. The child knows. ”

"Emperor, are you hungry, do you want to drink milk."

"Queen mother, the child is not hungry, but the queen mother, you have not eaten at all, are you not hungry?"

"The murderer hasn't been found out yet, how can the queen mother eat with peace of mind." Gongsun Xiaoyue shook her head and said.

"Queen Mother, don't worry, the child will definitely protect you and won't let anyone hurt you."

"Okay, the queen mother believes in the emperor, but you are still too much, not enough to protect the queen mother, now is the time for the queen mother to protect you." Gongsun Xiaoyue said with a smile.
