Chapter Ninety-Four: Death Together!
At this time, it was still in the first month, and all the officials had a holiday. []
However, the matter is big, and it is approved by the two queens, and the dynasty was still held as scheduled.
The problem is that although the second queen is not a professional criminal investigator, she got mixed up with the harem so many years ago, and her IQ for solving cases is also above the ordinary level - and they still occupy the home advantage of Miyagi, so they are still confused, how can the courtiers dare to take over easily?
Especially now, all the palace people who were close to the emperor when the accident happened were basically killed! Even if there are clues to think about it, it has been broken, if this is an ordinary case, the ministers don't mind sharing the worries of the lord, after all, the second queen is in charge, they can't find out, and they can't be harshly criticized for their lack of progress as courtiers.
But this is the one who investigates the king's killer...... A bad one is the futile top cylinder for the second queen!
Therefore, Empress Dowager Gu and Empress Jiang expressed it in the euphemistic words unique to the royal family: "The mourning family and the queen are now at a loss, but this bold and damned monarch-killer must be found out!" I'm counting on you Aiqing now! After this, there was silence in the court.
Liao Shuyu, the secretary of the Criminal Department, had an expression of eagerness to die on the Danqi immediately, he regretted that he did not learn from Dali Temple Qing Yuan Wenhong to call him sick, no, no, he knew that there would be such a hot potato today, he would rather learn from a few other colleagues of Zhishi!
It's just that it's too late to regret it now, and the second queen saw that all the ministers were silent, and they all set their eyes on him: "Liao Qing? ”
"The minister is here!" Liao Shuyu swallowed silently, his mouth full of bitterness, and he came out of class with Yuwat to reply.
"I'll leave this matter to you, I don't know how long it will take to find the murderer?" Empress Dowager Gu said lightly, and Liao Shuyu knelt down without saying a word: "The minister is incompetent!" The stakes are so high, the minister really doesn't dare to take on such a heavy responsibility alone! ”
Your sister!
This is a portrayal of the mood of the civil and military officials at this moment: this guy sees that he can't get past as a scholar of the Criminal Department, and wants to drag everyone into the water together? !
But the Empress Dowager Gu was still asking: "Then who do you think will be responsible with you?" ”
"The minister thinks ......" Liao Shuyu's daily position should belong to the Neutral Party, but in fact, he is not very close to Xue Chang, the leader of the Neutral Party-let's put it this way, this guy is lucky, he has not been forced by any party to make a clear choice since he took office, and he has not made up to any party, so he has done it so honestly until now, thinking that he is blessed and can get mixed into the beggar bones without trouble - as a result, he overestimated his blessings, and now he will fall into the pit?
Now he can't think about it too much, he put his heart sideways, and said, "This matter is very important, it involves the community, and it is appropriate to take the lead in presiding over it!" The Shangshu of the Criminal Department of the District District really dare not overstep! ”
Okay, one sentence dragged Xue Chang, Tang Zimo, and Jiang Tianqiao all up!
In this way, although he doesn't have much credit if he finds out the truth, but if he can't find out, there are still these three in front - whether it is Empress Dowager Gu or Empress Jiang, it is impossible to "click" all three out of anger, right? In that case, his own neck is on the head...... It should also be relatively safe...... Bar......
Liao Shuyu thought in horror - but in order to prevent these three from being found out, he handed him over as a scapegoat, he was not finished yet, "Everyone in the Criminal Department naturally must participate, Dali Temple, Tai Hospital, and the Military Department ......"
After the military department took office and returned to his hometown, due to the fierce competition between the second post, the new Shangshu has not been released. At present, the military department is dominated by two waiters, and Jiang Tianqi, one of the waiters, was directly laughed at by his clear pulling of people to share the responsibility: "Dali Temple also has the responsibility of judging the case, and the murderer's way of assassinating His Majesty is poisoning, and Liao Shangshu shouted to Dali Temple and Tai Hospital, and it is okay." But does this matter have anything to do with the Ministry of War now? ”
You still don't know where the murderer came from, what are you doing with our military department?! What the hell do you know when you can use the military department?! Arrest is also the responsibility of your criminal department, okay!
How do you know that Liao Shuyu is confident: "If the murderer is made by a foreign race, wouldn't he have to use the military department?" ”
"......" Although he knows that he is talking nonsense, what if the murderer really has a relationship with another race in the end? Jiang Tianqi was defeated by his broad thinking, and swallowed this breath silently.
Next, Liao Shuyu gave full play to his whimsical thinking and shouted at the people who were rubbing next to him, and then he stopped with satisfaction.
Empress Dowager Gu and Empress Jiang looked at each other, Liao Shuyu's thoughts were very clear to them, in fact, Empress Dowager Gu had just named him, but she didn't expect him to find out alone-he was really a pillar in the mind of the second queen, and he would not let him be neutral until now.
Now that Liao Shuyu has proposed such a huge camp, he has also thrown a little into the arms of the second queen.
It's just that there are too many people dragged into the water by this guy - sometimes a lot of people is not necessarily powerful, but it must be a mouthful!
Especially since the emperor has no worries about his life now, but if it is too difficult to track down, it may spread bad rumors.
So the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law discussed in a low voice and decided to listen to Liao Shuyu's words selectively: "Since this is the case, then this matter will be handed over to the three prime ministers, and who exactly needs will also listen to the three prime ministers!" ”
"......" Xue Chang and the three of them didn't feel like Jiang Tianqi that they were dragged into the water, because of such a big matter, it was impossible for them as prime ministers to stay out of the matter, and their depressed mood now actually came more from the fact that Empress Dowager Gu and Empress Jiang actually found out that they couldn't find out before they thought of them...... What did you do earlier?! If you can't find out on the first day of the first month, you should hand it over to us, okay!
Speaking of which, the reason why Empress Dowager Gu and Empress Jiang did this was also forced by the younger generations: the Empress Dowager's nephew Gu Yan and the queen's nephew Jiang Yadan, both of whom had done things in the harem that were not suitable for the outside world...... God knows if there's anything more exciting?
What if the murderer is found out by the way this time, what if this is called the second queen? Kill it, it's reluctant, don't kill it, you can't explain it!
Therefore, they can only use the excuse that the case happened in Miyagi, and it is inconvenient for the foreign ministers to enter and exit, so it is better for them to investigate by themselves.
If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't find it out now, and I felt that there was a mysterious third party, the second queen would never let go of the courtiers to investigate......
Now it has been decided that the three prime ministers will take the lead, and it is necessary to let the hundred officials disperse and then leave them down for a small meeting: first, to hand over the records they have found and suspected; Second, implicitly hint at them, let them investigate the killers of the monarch, those things that should not be taken care of, you should not take care of them!
Empress Dowager Gu and Empress Jiang especially warned each other's vice-ministers, the yin in this palace is half a catty to eight taels, don't think that the handle you caught is the only one! So if you don't want to waste your efforts, you should go to find the murderer obediently, and you shouldn't see anything else!
…… However, the three prime ministers went out together, but the investigation did not go well.
In the afternoon of this day, Qiu Yulan was lying on her husband's lap in the rare snowy sunshine, and suddenly remembered, so she asked: "You have been called by your grandfather to the study for two days, what are you discussing?" How's the investigation of Your Majesty's poisoning? I haven't heard anyone talk about the results? ”
Jiang Yashuang was reading a miscellaneous book, and when she heard this, she put the book aside, flicked the corner of her forehead with a smile, and said, "I haven't found out yet, where is the result to discuss?" ”
"Huh? Haven't found out yet? Qiu Yulan sat up in surprise, "It's almost Lantern Festival, right?" This is a major event of the assassination of the Son of Heaven, how can it be half a month without results?! Do you have to wait for the opening of the government to continue to investigate?! ”
In this kind of major vicious political assassination case, according to the unspoken rules, the speed of solving the case must be on par with the speed of seconds, okay?! Even if the case can't be solved for a while, then you should quickly find a scapegoat and announce the closure of the case, so as to show that the royal guards have confidence and ability to protect the leadership of my Da Rui, this time His Majesty the Emperor's assassination is just an accidental incident, and there is absolutely no next time - after the end of the secret investigation.
Otherwise, even the king of a country was assassinated, and the murderer could not be found for ten days and half a month, let alone ordinary people?! How can the people rest assured that the country is governed by such a group of waste!
Jiang Yashuang spread her hands helplessly: "How can it be so easy to close the case?" The people around His Majesty, those who were suspicious, were all killed, and the rest were either related to the fourth aunt or the Empress Dowager Gu. How do you say you can get them to take their sins? ”
Even if everyone has made an appointment now that the slave did it himself, and it has nothing to do with the master behind it, but with the relationship between the Queen Mother's Party and the Queen's Party, how can he not worry about the other party immediately turning his face and denying the person afterwards, and grasping the result of this case?
"Liao Shuyu, the secretary of the Criminal Department, proposed in the court that it might also be done by a different race, if the case is decided according to his guess, it will relieve the doubts between the fourth aunt and the Empress Dowager Gu." Jiang Yashuang sighed, "The problem is, it's easy to plant aliens, and this is ...... war."
Fighting a war is not a child's play - don't look at the situation, Shihan designed to provoke a war with the Western Barbarians last winter, it was out of selfish and political considerations, he did his homework in advance, and he also controlled the scale of the war to the death!
But if the Xiban or Beihu are accused of assassinating the Emperor Da Rui, this revenge will definitely be a full-scale war!
It's not that Da Rui can't afford to fight a full-scale war now, the problem is that after a full-scale war...... It's hard to say!
And from a political point of view, is it to frame the Xiban or the Northern Hu? Xiban is already fighting, there is still a Qiu Jinglan in the shadows, and now the war is still on a certain scale, if the scale is expanded, it will take advantage of the situation to go all out, but Qiu Jinglan took advantage of it - you must know that when the situation was cold, stealing the military power of the Zhenxi Army was not to take advantage of the defeat of General Ruan, the Ximan was pressing step by step, and Ruan and Qiu's old troops had no time to settle accounts with him?
If it is planted for Beihu, it means that it will be at war with two alien races at the same time, or a war on two fronts. Even if Da Rui is still quite wealthy, he can't afford to take this risk!
And once the war against Beihu starts, the status of the Zhenbei Army will definitely soar, and the Jiang family will have more right to speak! How can Empress Dowager Gu be willing?
The Queen Mother Party is unwilling to involve other races, and the Queen Party is actually unwilling either.
The Queen Mother was afraid that the war in the West would expand, and would give Qiu Jinglan more opportunities. But the queen party is also afraid that after the war in the Western Barbarians is tight, what if it is cold and difficult to kill?! After all, Qiu Jinglan is too young and has never joined the army, so he is expected to continue to take on the responsibility of taking up the situation after he has been pitted...... The Queens have not yet fantasized about this step.
Even if you take 10,000 steps back, after Qiu Jinglan died in the cold, she really held up the scene!
But will the queens be happy then? No, it won't! Don't forget, at present, except for Jiang Yashuang who is planning to hand over the Zhenxi Army to his brother-in-law to ensure that his house occupies the majority of interests, the general view of the Jiang family is: The Zhenbei Army is ours, and the Zhenxi Army must also be ours!
As for Beihu, the Jiang family also disagrees - the court shouted that it was easy to fight, and if it really started, the Zhenbei Army would definitely be the main force, such a sudden war, or a battle of revenge for the monarch, there was nothing prepared over there! With Beihu's fierceness, even if he wins in a hurry, he must be a miserable victory! Doesn't this mean that the Jiang family's strength has been damaged?!
After listening to Jiang Yashuang's explanation, Qiu Yulan sighed: "No wonder! He frowned again, "But it can't be dragged on forever, right?" If there is no explanation after the Lantern Festival, how can this be explained to the subjects of the world?! ”()
