"It's just an inference, and there's no evidence yet, but this thing is definitely right."

Hearing Ling Jun take the initiative to tell himself "business", General Jiang hurriedly put away the playful look on his face, reached out from under his pillow, and found out the gold tree leaves that the coachman Lao Wang exchanged for thirty taels of silver the day before, and sent them to Ling Jun and asked him to check, "Back then, when I escorted the raw materials and patterns, Your Majesty asked me to go, and when I showed the patterns to the goldsmith, I was by my side, I remember very clearly, the remarks on it were written by His Majesty himself, saying that the texture on each leaf cannot be the same, But at the petiole of each leaf, the title of the Empress Dowager Xiaoke must be embossed, you see, right here. ”

As he spoke, General Jiang stretched out his hand and cautiously pointed to the position of the petiole of the golden tree's leaves, asking Ling Jun to pay attention to it, and he needed to look carefully at the sunlight to find the two small embossed characters that existed.

A few years ago, Emperor Longqing issued an order to rebuild the dormitory for the original Concubine Du Kang, that is, the Empress Dowager Xiaoke, and spent a lot of money to decorate it, he was only about ten years old, but Rao is like this, he can also clearly remember that at that time, in order to adhere to this decision, Emperor Longqing quarreled with dozens of officials to the extent that he almost turned his face.

Under the guise of "the first emperor is majestic, not to be despised below", those officials knelt on the ground at the door of the imperial study, so that Emperor Longqing could not get out, wanted to use almost forced palace means to force Emperor Longqing to agree to take back his order, but after a few words from him, they all left in disgrace.

At that time, he asked those ministers that Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty instructed future generations to rule the world.

The ministers replied that they should rule the world with filial piety and righteousness.

And then. He asked again, Emperor Taizu is the founding monarch of the Ming Dynasty, but some people have doubts?

The ministers replied. No one dared to doubt it.

Then he asked again. A loving mother is old and needs to be served, if she doesn't serve, can she dare to speak of filial piety?

The ministers were dumbfounded.

In the end, when he saw that none of the ministers answered, he continued to ask that his father wanted to follow Emperor Taizu's instructions and practice filial piety to his mother. What is the reason why you adults are making things difficult everywhere, is it to force your father to be a faint king who is not benevolent, unkind, unkind and unfilial?

After the ministers were stunned for a moment, they exchanged glances with each other, and then they each excused themselves for something at home, and they all pulled their legs to "escape" away, so that Emperor Longqing could leave the imperial study, and ate this after a day and a night. First meal!

It was also from that time that Emperor Longqing really paid some attention to him, the concubine born to the capital. Let him be with Yi Li, who was only born as a son-in-law, but took away the name of his eldest son, in the battle in the inner court, he has a bit of a close match.

"Grandmother is a good person, and the person who made her not receive a gift from her father in her lifetime deserves to die."

Because Ling Jun's biological mother was serving by Concubine Du Kang's side, when she was in trouble. Nor did he abandon the Li family, so. To Ling Jun, the grandson born to his confidant. Concubine Du Kang is also quite happy and caring, whenever Yi Yi bullies him, or when Emperor Longqing's queen Chen wants to harm him, she will take action in a timely manner and shelter Ling Jun, a person with no background in his mother's family...... To put it mildly, that day, when Emperor Longqing was besieged by all the officials, he Ling Jun came forward to speak, showed his edge, and helped Emperor Longqing to relieve the siege, in a large sense, it was also to honor Concubine Du Kang, the grandmother!

"Damn it! is to be divided by five horses, they all deserve it! ”

General Jiang agreed with Ling Jun's words, and his anger at the person he guessed was even more overflowing, "A gentleman can be gracious without asking for anything in return, but the person who has received the grace of others and wants to take revenge should be added by the sky, burned by the sky, and he will not be able to die!" ”

Concubine Du Kang is a well-known good person, and in the entire Ming Kingdom, when mentioned to the people, she has a good reputation.

When she was first selected into the palace by Emperor Jiajing, she was actually quite favored, and after that, the reason why she suddenly lost the love of Emperor Jiajing was actually for the people.

At that time, the locust plague broke out, and many people had no food harvest because of the locust plague.

The city lord of the city where the disaster occurred, but because he was afraid of the anger of Emperor Jiajing, concealed the disaster, whitewashed the peace, and still demanded that the people who had no income pay taxes as in previous years, in exchange for their own future.

The previous year's bumper harvest had left every household with surplus grain, and if they didn't pay taxes, they could barely survive for a year, but if they paid taxes, they would be starving all over the wilderness, and the people would be miserable.

At that time, Concubine Du Kang was happy with Emperor Jiajing, she was pardoned by the emperor, and returned home to her relatives...... Appeal to the heavens.

After hearing about this, Concubine Du Kang, who was cautious and kind, did not hesitate to let the coachman turn the carriage around, follow the people, and go straight to the disaster farmland they pointed to.

At first, after Emperor Jiajing learned about this from Concubine Du Kang, he praised her a lot, and ordered people to rush to the place where the locust plague occurred overnight to investigate, and punished several city lord officials who concealed the incident.

However, this move suddenly set up a lot of enemies for Concubine Du Kang, and after several performances and bad behaviors, Emperor Jiajing became a tiger and hated Concubine Du Kang's behavior of "interfering in court affairs as a woman, contrary to the ancestral teachings", and because of this, he gradually alienated her.

Concubine Du Kang knew that if she wanted to win the favor of Emperor Jiajing again, she would have to fight, at least, and at least "make an example" of those who slandered and slandered her, but she was kind by nature, but she didn't want to do such a thing to hurt others, and only hoped that she could use her virtue in exchange for Emperor Jiajing's approval......

The result was an unexpected disappointment.

Under the bad crowd of others, Emperor Jiajing disliked her more and more, became more and more alienated from her, and in the end, he even avoided her, and sent her into the cold palace, and did not allow her son, who is now Emperor Longqing, to grow up with her, even if he wanted to meet her, he had to be accompanied, and it was only limited to once a month.

"Lightheart only told Ling Jun that the old general had inferred about the person who did this, but he didn't say who the old general deduced was."

Ling Jun wrung his eyebrows slightly, looked at General Jiang's gaze, and at this moment, he sank a little more, "The old general is convenient...... Tell me now? ”

He had been with General Jiang for seven years, and although he was still a child at that time, he had a lot of knowledge about him because of his agitated nature and good observation, especially in terms of things that would cause him anger.

Hate infidelity the most, hate injustice again, and hate unfilial piety three times.

"This golden tree leaf was bought by Adjutant Wang for thirty taels of silver from a dung collector, and according to the dung collector, he went to the camp in Jiangnan to pull livestock manure and helped the soldiers who managed the stables to bury the carcasses of more than 20 military horses, and was rewarded by that man."

General Jiang did not directly tell Ling Jun about his speculation, but only said one thing and let him know, "As far as I know, the soldier who manages the stables is a close associate of the current chief general of the Jiangnan battalion, and Adjutant Wang also went to inquire with people, and the horse merchants 'bet on horses' are all trading ......with him."

"What the old general means is that the lost golden tree leaves, most likely, have been used by the current ...... The commander of the Jiangnan battalion was robbed?! ”

The inference given by General Jiang was too "exciting", and a person like Rao is Lingjun and calm in the event of an incident couldn't help but exclaim, "Old General, you, you say that, is there a basis?!" ”

"If there was a basis, I would have told Your Majesty a long time ago, and let Your Majesty arrest him, torture him, and waste his spit here with your kid!"

General Jiang glanced at Ling Jun hatefully, as if he would say such brainless words, and was a little disappointed, "Back then, I was the one who sent the gold, and before I went to pick up the goods, I suddenly had an old injury and a high fever...... It's just that he never thought that on the way back from escorting the goods, he was intercepted, and the three hundred soldiers who went with him, in total, only survived for three ......."

"That'...... Why didn't the old general doubt him at that time? ”

Ling Jun didn't know who Emperor Longqing had sent to escort things back to Beijing at that time, but he only knew that the news that things had been hijacked made Emperor Longqing so angry that he even lifted the table.

"At that time, all three of them were seriously wounded, and almost did not save their lives, and even Your Majesty was spared the sin of their unfavorable protection because of their duty, I ...... How is it possible, wiser than Your Majesty, and discerning! ”

Speaking of the past, General Jiang was suddenly angry, and the fist of his right hand smashed on the soft couch, and the shook-pounding bed board made a "bang" sound, "I thought at the time that he was a conscientious person, and because of this, he was reused, where did I think ...... Thought ......"

"If a person is not a sage, he can do no wrong."

Seeing that the old general Jiang also looked regretful, Ling Jun hurriedly comforted him, "Just like the old general said, my father is such a wise person, he has not been able to find their suspiciousness, the old general is an upright person, how could he have thought that a group of them are seriously injured, no matter how you look at it, they are innocent people, they will be guards and stealers, and they will not hesitate to risk their own lives to exchange for rich and glamorous people!" ”

"My old man, just stupid! How many things happen in front of you, you can't find them, and you can't tell them apart! He can recognize people a little bit, where can we two old things, bother and take so much heart to heal! ”

The old general's wife standing next to her, after hearing Ling Jun's words, couldn't help but sigh, turned her head to look at him again, as if casually, and asked him again, "Xiaobao, that kid, have you given him a name?" (To be continued)
