Chapter 49: The Truth Emerges (Part 2)
The officials of Dali Temple continued to report the results of the investigation, and all the clues gradually formed the truth in the collation, analysis, and speculation of the officials, and the assassination of Cining Palace gradually began to become clear.
Judging from the results of various investigations, the assassins came from Ganzhou and began to deploy at the beginning of the year, and the weapons were provided by the Ganzhou merchant group; As for why it was brought into Cining Palace through Jin Wuwei's review, it was because when this team entered the palace, it happened to meet the Wang nobles of Chuxiu Palace who came to Jin Wuwei, and said that there seemed to be a figure in her palace, so let Jin Wuwei and others go to investigate. Because of this, Jin Wuwei thought that it was from the Deqing class, so he only checked the girls standing in front of him, and hurriedly let them go.
And the queen also came to tell her that the prince of Chuxiu Palace and her henchwoman hanged themselves, and the corpses were cold, so the palace maid found out. After careful investigation, the Wang nobleman turned out to be an impostor, and the real Wang Guiren died on the eve of entering the palace. The father of Wang Guiren was afraid of the court's accountability, and he was reluctant to promote the wealth in the palace, so he accepted a righteous daughter to replace him. This righteous girl was an orphan girl rescued by her wife, and it is estimated that he did not know that this righteous girl had a great background, and she was in the same group as the assassins.
The matter has been very clear at this point, this group of people is from Ganzhou, some people provide weapons, and there are people in the palace to respond, it seems that attracting the emperor to stay in Cining Palace is also planned by this group of people a long time ago. Ganzhou, that is the fief of the seventh son of the first emperor's favorite Shengwang, Shengwang once competed with Emperor Changtai for the throne, is it more than 30 years later, this heart is not dead?
All indications point to the fact that this assassination was the work of King Sheng! In this way, it involved the internal affairs of the royal family and the struggle for the throne, and the officials were also cautious for a while, waiting for the decision of Emperor Tai.
King Sheng is a thorn in the heart of Emperor Changtai, he was the favorite prince of the first emperor, and the person who is most likely to win the throne. The first emperor had intentionally or unintentionally revealed that he would hand over the country to him, and later if it wasn't for the violent death of the first emperor, Emperor Changtai ascended the throne with the support of the Empress Dowager Gao, and it is estimated that the world would be the king of Sheng. It's just that he has been in a corner of Ganzhou for decades, and he has been guarding himself for more than 30 years, and he is respectful to Emperor Changtai, and Emperor Changtai has never found his fault. In order to show his love for his brother, he kept him for decades. Now that the world is all his, he has almost forgotten how jealous he was of this seventh brother when he was young. After this assassination, Emperor Changtai found that his jealousy for this seventh brother had not diminished at all, but this time, he would definitely pull out this thorn in his heart.
Emperor Changtai's expression changed, and his body exuded a chilling killing intent. Wei Jingyao and Shen Ke glanced at each other, both of them knew that this assassination was widely implicated, and they didn't know how many people would be wiped out because of this assassination. The emperor's horror and anger must find an outlet! They are all old men of the two dynasties, as if they have seen the month of Jingzhao's seizure of the throne for more than thirty years again, that time, how many royal relatives have died, the sons of the first emperor, only King Sheng and the young king are left.
Sure enough, on the second day, Emperor Changtai issued an edict, which said: "I am close to King Sheng, and I can't make the king reasonable. …… It is difficult to tolerate it again, and quickly advance to comfort the compassion. "Order Jiang Nanwei to send 30,000 soldiers, and order Jiang Nanwei General Yu Hongtu to recruit envoys for Ganzhou and go to Ganzhou to recruit King Sheng! The people of Ganzhou are safe and peaceful, and the court is stable and clean! As for the bitter battle between Jiang Nanwei and King Sheng's Fengwei, how many people will lose their lives and flee their homes because of this conquest, this is a later story.
This edict was accompanied by a series of other follow-ups. Lou Qingyi, the head of the Deqing class, committed suicide in prison, and more than ten girls who danced were either killed or injured, and the rest of the Deqing class were locked up and scattered, and the once prosperous Deqing class disappeared in Jingzhao. Along with a lot of Ya Po and Jingzhao Mansion records who reviewed household registration, they were also imprisoned and held accountable.
There are also Jin Wuwei officials who were held accountable for lax censorship, and on the day of the birthday banquet in Cining Palace, Jin Wuwei, who was in charge of inspecting the Deqing class, was all seized and imprisoned. Xu Sa was held accountable for his poor supervision, and Jin Wuwei even testified that Xu Sa had different words and behaviors that day, and he may know the inside story of the assassination, so Xu Sa was also taken from his post and imprisoned.
Wang Guiren's family was also raided and imprisoned, and Wang Guiren's parents were beheaded after the autumn, and the sons and nephews of the Wang family went to northern Xinjiang to serve hard labor, and the property of the Wang family was confiscated. There are also many female officials in the palace who are provincial attendants and ** who review the disc book, and they are implicated by the Wang family and are dismissed from the palace.
The martial law review of Jin Wuwei and Jingzhao guards found out a lot of Jingzhao thieves, implicated a number of illegal forces in Jingzhao's secret land, Jin Wuwei exterminated these forces one by one, and let the people of Jingzhao celebrate with their hands, which is the only benefit of the assassination in Cining Palace.
In early May, the blood of Cining Palace had already been washed away, and the mood of the ** concubine and Jing Zhao's wife gradually calmed down. King Sheng's guards and Jiangnan guards will engage in battle, and the resistance will be fierce. Due to the huge disparity in troops, and the resistance of King Sheng has been set as a rebellion, the people's hearts are wanted, but in just ten days, Ganzhou was quickly conquered by Jiangnanwei. King Sheng was ambushed, his son, the county lord, and the subordinate officials of King Sheng's Mansion were all captured, and they will be escorted to Jingzhao in the near future!
At this point, a crusade triggered by the assassins of Cining Palace has come to an end. Subsequently, 30,000 Jiangnan guards returned to the station, and Wang Bei, the Jiangnan Provincial Observation Envoy, and Zhu Dunshi, the assassin of Ganzhou, were responsible for staying in Ganzhou to deal with the follow-up matters.
The thrilling assassination seems to be a long way off, but for many, it's far from over, and it's having a profound impact.
Concubine Mu's body is recuperating and conditioning, because of the meritorious rescue of the driver, under the personal care of Emperor Changtai, countless supplements and medicinal materials are continuously sent to Concubine Mu's palace. The imperial doctor of Shang Pharmacy asked for the pulse three times a day, and kept an eye on the changes in Concubine Mu's body at any time. Under such circumstances, Concubine Mu's body naturally improved day by day, and it didn't take long for her to get out of bed and walk, which made Emperor Changtai happy. In addition, King Sheng has been ambushed, and the thorn that he has hidden in his heart for more than 30 years has been removed, and the Changchun Palace, the cold palace farthest away from the Chaotun Palace, seems to be able to hear the joy of Emperor Changtai laughing. The weather of the Chaojun Palace, the grace of Concubine Mu, no one can stand out, even Queen Jiang avoids its edge, and even the sunset scene of the Chaojun Palace is extremely splendid.
Concubine Mu sent Emperor Changtai away with a delicate smile, and this smile made Emperor Changtai feel even more pity, and told her to recuperate a lot before reluctantly going to the court. Seeing Emperor Changtai leave, Concubine Mu's delicate smile gradually dispersed, replaced by a resolute and satisfied look. Finally, this one is the right bet, although it has wandered around the Ghost Gate, although there is a sword mark on the right shoulder that will never be erased, but compared to the harvest obtained, it is too worthwhile! Concubine Mu touched the sword mark, and she still had to thank it. It is its indelible that will bring her and De'er wealth and supreme power, thinking of Emperor Changtai's gratitude and care for her, is there a more cost-effective deal in this world? Concubine Mu couldn't think of it.
Li Guifei wants to fight with her? Why?! Concubine Mu glanced at the personal female official Qing Kite and nodded gratefully. It was precisely because she tripped up Li Guifei that she was able to get ahead of her. This time, the green kite has a lot of credit. However, if her brother didn't receive the news, she wouldn't be able to take the plan and preempt Li Guifei. But who sent that news to my brother? Is it Li Guifei's opponent? I haven't heard that Li Guifei has a grudge with anyone, and she can't help but be confused.
"Niangniang, His Royal Highness Ten has arrived." The green kite interrupted Concubine Mu's thoughts, and welcomed a little boy who looked like a pink carving into the Chaoyun Palace. Shangguan Qide, the tenth prince, was an eleven-year-old boy who had heard that his mother had been injured and had been clamoring to come and see her. Emperor Changtai did not allow it, for fear of affecting Concubine Mu's recuperation, and only now that she could get out of bed, did he allow him to come in.
"Mother, are you better?" Shangguan Qide inherited Concubine Mu's beauty, and the whole person was as delicate as the boy in the painting, frowning at the moment and showing concern to Concubine Mu, she was still as cute as the boy in the auspicious New Year's painting. Concubine Mu looked at her son, her heart was full of love, stroked the top of his head, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, De'er, the mother concubine is ...... well" and secretly said in her heart, De'er, the mother concubine will give you the best, and the mother concubine will send you to that high position......
Compared with the lively laughter of the Chaojun Palace, the Chunxi Palace can be regarded as a cold winter. Li Guifei and Shangguan Changzhi both tightened their faces, and their gloomy and gray faces showed how angry and aggrieved these two people were. Li Guifei did not have the usual gentleness and charm, and her angry eyes were extremely scary, and the chamberlains and palace maids had already withdrawn from the palace gate, leaving only this pair of mother and son facing each other in the palace.
"This is a cheap concubine, I knew it was like this, it is better to tell your father ......about it as soon as possible," Li Guifei said hatefully. At the beginning, she also agreed to this plan, but she didn't get any benefits, thinking that Emperor Changtai had been staying in the palace for several days, she was angry and jealous. Although I knew that it didn't mean anything to say this, I had to say it in my heart.
"Mother, what was going on at that time? Isn't it up to you to save your father? At that time, the situation was so chaotic, and the rest of the concubines couldn't avoid it, how could Concubine Mu still save her father? "Shangguan Changzhi has too much incomprehension, obviously the plan is so flawless, this rescue should belong to Li Guifei, how could it be Concubine Mu who got it?
When Li Guifei said that she was tripped by Concubine Mu's female official, Shangguan Changzhi could only sigh that the people around Concubine Mu were more powerful, and also sighed that there were still people among Concubine Changtai who were not afraid of death, and he had a headache at the thought of getting Xu Sa out of the prison in Dali Temple.
