Chapter 478: Unloading the mill and killing the donkey
Song Chengxuan's voice was very low, but it seemed to be more terrifying than the thunder in the sky.
Everyone in the room shuddered, realizing what kind of secret it was.
When King An collided with Emperor Zhongzong because of government affairs, Emperor Zhongzong sent King An to Songpanwei in anger, but Zhongzong was not disgusted with King An, on the contrary, he still had high hopes for King An, and when King An was tempered and then made some achievements, King An would be established as the crown prince.
Tubo suddenly provoked a war, so that King An died tragically, the first emperor, who was the second prince at that time, calmed the war in the northwest to avenge King An, and then ascended to the throne of the crown prince.
But now the truth is revealed in front of everyone, King An did not die at the hands of the Tubo people, but was designed to be murdered, and the person who murdered King An was the first emperor.
There was silence in the room for a moment.
Yu Guozhang's clenched fist kept shaking, the eldest princess of Jiashan seemed calm, but her lips were tightly pursed, when she saw this secret letter for the first time, she was almost shocked to faint, at that time King An had been dead for a long time, Emperor Zhongzong had died, and the first emperor had already ascended the throne, even if he knew the truth of this past, he could only rot in his stomach, who would question the current saint for the dead King An.
I didn't expect this secret letter to finally come to light.
Shocked? The wise monarch in everyone's hearts has such a side.
There was a sound of footsteps at the door, the eldest princess of Jiashan looked over, and King Ning turned around and was about to leave.
"Uncle Ning," said the eldest princess of Jiashan, "I haven't said a word yet, why do I have to leave." ”
King Ning had a bitter look on his face, looking at the king of Shunyang County beside him, he was really a pit goods, he was also cautious and honest for most of his life, and finally planted here.
If you don't deal with the case tonight, no one in this room will want to leave.
These bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods won't let him leave.
King Ning glared at the King of Shunyang fiercely: "I'm not bad to you, but you actually hurt me like this." "At the beginning, he was dragged into the water by the king of Shunyang County, and this matter was not handled well, so he went directly to see the ancestors and ancestors.
"Uncle Wang," said the king of Shunyang County, "I am not the one who asked you to come to investigate the case. ”
After saying this, the king of Shunyang County continued: "The emperor has an order to let Prince Ning come to supervise the case." ”
Everyone present understood that after the emperor saw the secret letter, he was afraid that there would be a mistake, so he sent King Ning to take charge.
King Ning finally stabilized his mind and was about to ask Song Chengxuan about the case.
The eldest princess of Jiashan briefly told what had happened: "Uncle Guo destroyed the harmful poison and threw it into this warm cage, and now the gray water in the warm cage has been fed to Uncle Guo to eat a bowl." ”
King Ning almost fell off his chair and looked at everyone in surprise: "You are all crazy, who is making such a claim?" ”
Zhang Yuci saw King Ning, there was a trace of hope in his heart, he struggled hard, his eyes were full of expectation, if King Ning could help him and let him survive, he would definitely repay him in the future.
The eldest princess of Jiashan looked firm: "Uncle Ning, we are not crazy, but we have been cornered, and so far, I don't ask for anything else, I just want to find out the truth." ”
The rain was pouring down, and the soldiers outside stood motionless in the rain, letting the cold rain wash away their armor.
King Ning finally found that he could no longer get off this thief ship.
Zhang Yuci's body, which had been pressed to the ground, began to tremble, and the soldier stepped forward to take out the strip of cloth in Zhang Yuci's mouth.
Zhang Yuci vomited for a while, he only felt that his internal organs were stirred by something, and the pain made him breathless.
The eldest princess of Jiashan said: "After my father fell ill, I asked Lang Zhong to go to see a doctor, the pulse case was still there at that time, and I only need to compare it with Uncle Guo's symptoms at this time, if it is the same eight or nine times out of ten, should it be able to conclude that my father was poisoned to death?" ”
After the eldest princess of Jiashan finished speaking, she got up and bowed down to King Ning: "Zhang Yuci killed my father, and asked Uncle Wang to make the decision for my father." ”
King Ning looked at all this in front of him, and he had no idea.
"Lord Ning, Lord Song," the person outside came in and said, "The emperor has an edict, please ask Prince Ning to obey the order." ”
When they looked over, they saw a few attendants standing in the courtyard.
King Ning didn't dare to slack off, so he didn't have time to hold an umbrella and immediately walked over.
I saw the chamberlain say a few words in King Ning's ear, and King Ning kept nodding.
After speaking, the chamberlain glanced into the room, did not say anything more, turned around and left with the people.
Everyone's eyes fell on King Ning.
King Ning frowned, his face a little ugly.
The king of Shunyang stepped forward: "Uncle Wang, why don't we go to the side room to discuss." ”
King Ning nodded.
"Princes and adults can discuss in the room," Song Chengxuan stood up, "but time is pressing, and a few of you need to come up with ideas earlier." ”
After Song Chengxuan finished speaking, he turned around and walked out with the soldiers.
The door was closed again, and the only sound was the sound of rain falling outside.
The king of Shunyang looked at King Ning: "This matter is related to the emperor and the Great Zhou, and now the people in this house are either surnamed Qi or in-laws, and there is no one else, so we don't have to cover it up anymore, what does the emperor mean, Uncle Wang will tell us!" ”
King Ning hesitated again and again, and finally sighed: "No matter what, the first emperor is not wrong, you must know in your hearts that no one can question the first emperor now, and the first emperor is regarded as complicity." ”
If the former emperor had obtained the throne by such means, then the throne of the current saint would also be unstable.
Fortunately, no one in the royal family has the strength to compete with the current saint for the throne, otherwise this matter will become a disaster, and it can be used to question the previous emperor and the current emperor in the future.
Since the emperor was not wrong, who was the one who was wrong?
The eldest princess of Jiashan looked at Zhang Yuci: "When Zhang Yuci went to the northwest with the emperor, the emperor trusted Zhang Yuci a lot, and Zhang Yuci was also the deputy general of the emperor's side...... Zhang Yuci must know the truth......"
King Ning said: "That doesn't matter anymore. ”
This is what the emperor meant, no matter whether it was the intention of the emperor or not, he must use the Zhang family to maintain the face of the emperor.
King Ning continued: "Back then, King An wrote a secret letter to the first emperor, but the first emperor did not receive this secret letter, he must have been intercepted halfway, and that person planned this matter to get rid of King An and let the first emperor ascend to the throne smoothly, so that they could also follow the first emperor to rise and gain power and wealth."
When King Jingjun learned of this, the man was afraid that the matter would be revealed, so he killed King Jingjun, and the only person who could do these things was Zhang Yuci. ”
Zhang Yuci, who was huddled on the ground, finally shouted in horror: "You should ...... Who is the Zhang family...... You ...... The Queen Mother will not agree. ”
Only now did Zhang Yuci believe that he was really going to die, and the emperor wanted to kill him and make him bear all the charges.
"No," Zhang Yuci wanted to stand up, "I want to see the Queen Mother...... I want to see the Queen Mother. ”
King Ning looked at the King of Shunyang County: "Without further ado, you go out and tell Lord Song, ask him to lead the troops to Zhang Yuci's mansion, arrest all the criminals and put them in prison, and wait for the court to send them down." ”
