In the past month, there has been a lot of movement in the military department. All of them were scrutinized. In particular, the Arsenal Division was detained and interrogated from top to bottom, and did not show up for a whole month.

Many officials of the DPRK and China have protégés and old friends, and it is common for them to communicate with each other. The military department is an exception, and from top to bottom are military generals. There are not a few sons and daughters of royal clansmen who enter the military department.

It is by no means easy for civilian officials to find out information from the military department.

As a result, the officials only vaguely heard that several officials of the Ministry of War were being detained and interrogated, and it was difficult to inquire about any other information.

At this time, the Son of Heaven inquired about the four princes, and all the officials invariably looked up at the past, pricking up their ears, lest they miss half a word.

The four princes are quite tall and tall, and they are the crown of the princes, and their condensed voices are full of coldness: "Qiqi Father, Erchen and Wu Shangshu have been strictly investigating for many days, and they have found out that the three bows and crossbows are indeed from the Arsenal Division of the Ministry of War. ”

"Two months ago, Director Ding, who was on duty in the Treasury Division, did not stay in the warehouse. Instead, he sneaked out to drink flower wine and didn't return until dawn. The other three low-ranking military attachés on duty were led out of the treasury by a director surnamed Zhou after the time of the child, and hid in the house to roll dice and gamble. An hour later, I returned to the storeroom. ”

"The next day, a few of them were shocked to realize that there were three bows and crossbows missing from the treasury division's treasury."

Several of them were terrified, but they did not dare to speak up. Fearing that his dereliction of duty would be discovered, Director Ding and these three low-ranking military attachés concealed the matter. In the Treasury Division's treasury records, the three crossbows that were stolen by someone unknown were recorded as damaged. No one noticed it for a while. ”

"I never thought that later, these three bows and crossbows would appear in the hands of the assassins and assassinate the Seven Emperor Brothers on the day of their wedding. Fortunately, the Seventh Emperor Brother is safe, otherwise, these dereliction of duty bastards will be cut with a thousand knives, and their hatred will not be resolved! ”

In the end, the voice of the fourth prince was full of anger, and the handsome face that was indifferent all the year round also looked extremely excited.

Scold!

The acting is really superb! I underestimate him on weekdays!

Sheng Hong sneered in his heart, his face showed a look of gratitude and emotion, and he stepped forward and said: "For the sake of the minister's brother, the fourth emperor brother worked tirelessly and stayed in the military department for a whole month to investigate the matter thoroughly. Brother is grateful! ”

The fourth prince has the demeanor of a brother, and he responded: "This is the responsibility of the brother!" It's a shame to say that he was strictly interrogated for his brother, and only found out the origin of the bow and crossbow and the reason for its loss. Who stole the bow and crossbow was never found out. ”

Then, with a guilty face, he bowed his hand to Emperor Jianwen and pleaded guilty: "The son is ineffective, I implore my father to surrender!" ”

Wu Shangshu, who had never spoken out in the military department, was also ashamed of an old face and pleaded guiltily.

Wu Shangshu was also a military general, who was brave and good at fighting back then, and was as famous as the deceased Lian Lao General. By the time he was in his fifties, he was promoted to the secretary of the military department. It has been more than ten years.

There are more than 20 important ministers in the Great Qi Dynasty, the eldest of the five pavilion elders is Lu Ge Lao, and the oldest of the six Shangshu is the sixty-five-year-old Wu Shangshu.

Wu Shangshu suffered a lot of injuries when he was young, and now he is old and far less healthy than before, and often takes leave to recuperate in the house. Zhishi is a matter of the past two years.

Wu Shangshu is already a person who has entered half of the loess, and he will not compete for power with the prince who is just a young man and has a high spirit. Because of this, the four princes accepted the military department quite smoothly. In just over a year, it is enough for the four princes to install a lot of people in the military department.

That's why there is this good show in the court today!

……

No matter what the officials thought in their hearts, at this moment, no one questioned whether what the four princes said was true.

Clear-eyed people can see at a glance that the assassination of the Seventh Prince is related to the dispute between the crown princes. As an ordinary official, he has no qualifications and necessity to get involved at all, just stay on the sidelines and wait to watch a good show.

Sure enough, the third prince suddenly stepped forward and said, "The fourth emperor brother has worked hard for a month to find out these four bastards who have derelict their duties, and the sons should not have said much. It's just that Erchen knows about it, and it is closely related to this matter. I had to show my father. ”

The four princes' hearts suddenly swept through the clouds.

The three princes suddenly spoke out, which is by no means a good thing!

Emperor Jianwen was obviously a little surprised, and opened his mouth to ask, "What's the matter?" ”

The third prince first glanced apologetically at the fourth prince, and then said, "Last night, a young man came to my mansion with a secret letter. This young man's surname is Ding, and his single name is a single character, and he is the eldest son of Ding. ”

"He presented the secret letter to me, saying that it recorded that the secret letter had been bribed. He didn't want his father to bear the reputation of being the first evil, and he didn't want to see his father die in vain. Only then did he risk his life and take out the secret letter. I beg me to present the seal to my father. ”

Erchen was quite suspicious at the time and scolded him angrily. was about to kick him out of the house, but unexpectedly, as soon as the words came out, he hit his head against the wall and died. Fortunately, the guards stopped him in time, and this Ding Chuang was seriously injured but did not die. ”

Speaking of this, the third prince sighed lightly: "Ding Chuang has a tough temperament and is not afraid of death, and he risked his life to ask me to present the secret letter before the Holy One. Erchen couldn't bear it, so he had to respond. ”

Emperor Jianwen furrowed his brows and said in a deep voice: "Where is that secret letter?" ”

The third prince took out a letter from his sleeve and said respectfully, "The son has brought the letter." Please read it! ”

Gonggong Lu stepped forward, respectfully accepted the letter with both hands, and then presented it to the Holy One.

The letter was tightly sealed, and there was no sign of it being opened. Emperor Jianwen did not hesitate at all, and immediately opened the letter. There are three sheets of letterhead, and they are densely written.

Emperor Jianwen's eyes swept away, and he didn't know what he saw, and his expression sank suddenly.

Emperor Jianwen read the letter, and the officials did not dare to say anything, so they secretly looked at the four princes.

The fourth prince's face was quite calm, and his heart sank straight down.

He bought people's hearts in the military department, and this Ding chief was the first to surrender to him. Director Ding is not of high rank, but he is in charge of the treasury of the Arsenal Division.

All the things he had reported before were true.

The one who led Director Ding to drink flower wine was another director of the Ministry of War. The one who led the three guards of the treasury to roll the dice and gamble was also the person arranged by Sheng Xuan.

In the end, it was Sheng Xuan himself who took away the three bows.

He didn't want Sheng Xuan to take the blame, so he had to push out Director Ding and the other four people to be substitutes for the dead ghosts. What he reported to Emperor Jianwen before was all true, and there were witnesses and physical evidence. Even if the Criminal Department retried again, it would be the same result.

Seeing that this matter was about to be resolved, I never thought that the three princes had a branch on their day, and a secret letter suddenly appeared......

You can also think of it with the soles of your feet, this "secret letter" must be a sharp weapon against him!

What is written in this letter?
