Master Jianyue deliberately intentionally or unintentionally pointed the clues to the little emperor, just to use Qin Tai to tell the so-called truth that the little emperor was poisoned. and then used the rumors spread by Princess Izumo about the biological son of the little emperor concubine Emperor Takakei, and pushed the little emperor's family to a desperate situation. Because of the death of his son, King Lu has been suppressed by his brother Little Emperor all the way, coupled with the so-called bright future, he will definitely want other princes to ask for help. I hope everyone will administer justice for him, these so-called princes are too late to see the excitement, of course they want to see this cannibalistic situation with their own eyes.

In the second step, Princess Izumo pretended to help King Lu get ahead, but in fact she secretly contacted the princes to oppose the little emperor. Once the prince convenes a clan meeting, these princes who are not afraid of many things will definitely make things bigger. The little emperor will definitely be ousted, and King Lu will not have the opportunity to be the emperor because of his biological mother, Empress Dowager Li. When each prince planned to become emperor himself, Princess Izumo would take out the jade huang of Zhang Yue's child to prove that this child was the grandson of Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houcong, the biological son of King Yuanjing, and he was the most likely person to become emperor in accordance with the order of imperial succession. At that time, Master Mizuki, who was already the commander of the Praetorian Guard, took control of the military power of the capital, and Princess Izumo and his wife occupied the initiative in name, and then sent the dead to control or kill the princes who had opposing opinions, and this country must be theirs.

Zhang Yue'e explained everything, and only hoped that the little emperor and Qin Tai would agree to her three requests before she died. The first request is that before she dies, she will be allowed to meet her own son, whom she has never met since she gave birth. As a mother, she really wanted to see her own son. This son is the person she cares about the most, and it is because of this son that she embarked on this path. That is to say, for the sake of this son, she is willing to give and dedicate everything. The second request is that I hope to take the child to a grave for King Jing. In her heart, she doesn't regard the eldest young master of the Xu family as her husband, she thinks that King Jing is her only man. Even if she can't become King Jing's nominal real legal wife, she can be regarded as King Jing's concubine. Over the years, in order to hide her true identity, she has never gone to the grave of King Jing, and now that she is dying, she hopes to personally go to the grave of her husband King Jing, and do the obligations and responsibilities of being a wife. The third requirement is that the two children don't know the truth at all, and they haven't participated in this conspiracy, and I hope that the little emperor will see that these two children and the little emperor are cousins from the blood relationship, and give them a way to live and don't kill them.

The little emperor finally agreed to Zhang Yue'e's request, allowing her to see her son for the last time, allowing Zhang Yue'e to take a pair of children to the grave of King Jing, and allowing Zhang Yue'e's children to die and be imprisoned for life. Zhang Yue'e knelt down contentedly, knelt down to the little emperor's family, and settled the grievances and hatred of the two brothers King Yu and King Jing for decades. This is the royal family, if it is in an ordinary people's house, even if the contradiction between the two concubines is big, it is just a noisy and noisy separation, and only the royal family will have this kind of situation where the two brothers become undying enemies. Even the next generation is living in hatred because of this, and it has continued. This can be regarded as a relatively good result, at least the little emperor and the next generation of the children will not and will not have to pay for this grievance.

Princess Izumo and his wife were also temporarily imprisoned by the order of the little emperor, and the princes temporarily stayed in the post house and were not allowed to contact outsiders. As for the results of Princess Izumo and some princes with ulterior motives, the little emperor doesn't need to explain to Qin Tai, and he doesn't need Qin Tai to interfere. Qin Tai knew that although these members of the royal family would not die immediately, the result would not be better, and they would either be secretly executed after a period of time or imprisoned for life. The little emperor can let go of the pair of children because the children are too young and unsuitable to affect his status. Princess Izumo is different from these princes, they have an identity and status, and they also have a certain ability to appeal, these people will not be easily let go by the little emperor.

Qin Tai and his wife were busy preparing the closing report, but the little emperor was negotiating with Princess Izumo and others. It turned out that Princess Izumo and his wife left a back hand, and the princes were also worried that they were not safe and left a back move. Soon after the little emperor imprisoned the princes and the princess Izumo, a lot of news came from all over the country, especially some places not far from the capital. In these places, some generals suddenly couldn't suppress the officers below, and some lower-level officers united to ask the court to release the princes. The situation in the feudal princes' mansions was not good, and some of the princes of the feudal lords said that they would unite and go to Beijing to take their father home, otherwise the little emperor would be ousted from power.

In order to solve these problems, in order not to let the world know the news of this disharmony within the royal family, the little emperor had to sit down and negotiate with the princes. The princes' requests were not excessive, they hoped that the little emperor would not hold them accountable for their faults, and at the same time let them go back immediately. Princess Izumo has more requirements, the first is that the little emperor let Princess Izumo's family leave the capital, and they will never return to the capital for the rest of their lives. Second, the little emperor had to swear that he would not harm King Jing's two children intentionally or unintentionally for the rest of his life, let them die naturally and not torture them. Thirdly, this incident was a misunderstanding, there was no infighting within the royal family, Zhang Yue'e was not King Jing's woman, Master Jianyue was not a descendant of the Wako, and Yong'an Temple did not take in the Wako and the descendants of the Wako. It is always a secret of the royal family that there can be no relevant reports in the civil or historical way.

For the sake of the throne, for the stability of the country, for the reputation of the royal family, and for the world to continue to respect the royal family surnamed Zhu, the little emperor had to agree to these conditions. The little emperor sent Zhang Cheng to inform Qin Tai and his wife, and revised the conclusion of the case according to the level discussed, and made it public the next day. Zhang Cheng found Qin Tai and his wife, but Qin Tai and his wife did not agree immediately, because Qin Tai and his wife are not people who have no rules for doing things. Qin Tai asked Zhang Cheng to bring a sentence to the little emperor, which Qin Tai often said, "There is only one truth, and the truth is not allowed to be changed or modified." ”

The little emperor listened to Zhang Cheng's relay, and the little emperor didn't speak for a long time. In the end, the little emperor said to himself: "It is about the reputation of the royal family and the safety of the world, and the truth is not important. It is not good for a person to know too much, and the more he knows, the more dangerous it is. Since this Qin Tai must adhere to his own principles, if he wants to make this matter public, it is tantamount to overturning everyone's decision. Qin Tai and his wife already knew too much, so there was no need to stay. ”

Zhang Cheng on the side immediately understood the meaning of the little emperor after hearing this, and Zhang Cheng turned around and left the Qianqing Palace. The little emperor still stood alone and said to himself: "This is what Zhang Cheng understands by himself, not an order issued by me." I have never made any decision to deal with you as a couple. I didn't really want to kill you, but you really didn't need to live anymore. Qin Tai, Qin Tai, you are really too smart, so smart that I am a little afraid of you. If you live, I won't be at ease for the rest of my life. ”

Zhang Cheng did not immediately go to Qin Tai and his wife, but went to take Zhang Yue'e and Master Jianyue to Qin Tai and his wife. Master Jianyue has already broken the tendons and veins of his limbs, and he can't stand up even if he wants to. Zhang Yue'e fulfilled all her wishes, saw her son, and went to King Jing's grave with her daughter and son, and the three of them had a relatively rich reunion dinner together. Before leaving, Mu Xiaoyue and Zhang Yue's son knelt down and kowtowed to Zhang Yue'e and called her mother, Zhang Yue'e felt satisfied. Zhang Yue'e not only no longer resented Qin Tai and his wife, but also began to be grateful to Qin Tai and his wife, if it weren't for Qin Tai and his wife, she would not have been able to meet her children in public. For the safety of the child, for the future of the child, and in order not to let outsiders know about their relationship, Zhang Yue'e is very likely to not recognize the child for the rest of her life, even if her son becomes the emperor. Now that the matter is clear, there is no need to hide it, and Zhang Yue'e can finally tell the truth of the matter to the children. She doesn't have to deliberately hide from her son, and she doesn't have to continue to pretend to be her own daughter's wet nurse and call her daughter "Miss". The children's heartfelt shouts finally made Zhang Yue'e completely sober, no grievances and hatreds, what glory and wealth, and what the world are, no family is important together.

Zhang Cheng handed over a pre-written closing statement to Qin Tai and his wife, and Qin Tai and his wife did not speak after reading it. Zhang Cheng sighed, and after signing a name that no one could understand on this so-called closing report, he left the room of Qin Tai and his wife with the closing statement. Soon after, Qin Tai's couple's room suddenly caught fire, and when the people guarding the Dongchang not far away arrived, the fire was out of control. Zhang Cheng's men stayed at the scene to preside over the overall situation, but they didn't let anyone get close to the scene. The fire burned and burned, and by the time everyone received an order from their superiors to put out the fire, it was already four hours later. Nothing was burned in the room of Qin Tai and his wife, leaving only the corpses of a man and a woman who had turned into charcoal, suspected to be the remains of Qin Tai and his wife.

The next day, Zhang Cheng took out the so-called closing statement and announced that it was a closing statement written by Qin Tai and his wife. Zhang Yue'e pretended to be King Jing's wife in an attempt to confuse the royal bloodline, and Master Jianyue was an unvirtuous person, who colluded with ** Zhang Yue'e to do something harmful. The children of King Lu and others were poisoned by them in a planned way, and they had to frame Queen Wang and the royal family afterwards, and the two disappeared after the matter was revealed. At present, these two criminals are caught at sea across the country, and any yamen who catches these two people can be directly executed, and there is no need to escort them to the capital for re-examination and processing.

Zhang Cheng took out another holy decree, which had the little emperor's handwriting on it. It means that Qin Tai and his wife have made meritorious contributions in solving the case, and they should have been rewarded. Unexpectedly, Qin Tai's couple's room suddenly caught fire last night, burning Qin Tai and his wife to death. Now investigate the number of little eunuchs and palace maids who served Qin Tai and his wife, not to drive them out of the palace with a cane. Posthumously awarded Qin Tai and his wife as loyal martyrs, Qin Taiguan was reinstated and sealed as a first-class knight, and his wife Zhan Xiaoxiao was named a patriotic heroine. The deeds of Qin Tai and his wife are allowed to be written down and passed on to future generations, but for the sake of the law and influence of the imperial court, the official books try not to describe too much about Qin Tai and his wife. The bodies of Qin Tai and his wife were handed over to the Ministry of Rites for disposal.

Before the funeral of Qin Tai and his wife was completed, the princes were sent out of the country by the little emperor, and Princess Izumo's family also left the capital in the name of distraction. Qiu Xiaoqiu left the capital with the ashes of Qin Tai and his wife, and on the third day after Qiu Xiaoqiu left, Feng Bao rushed back to the capital, but lost the last chance to meet Qin Tai and his wife. Although Feng Bao received a lot of rewards, Feng Bao was not happy at all. Feng Bao finally bid farewell to his master, Empress Dowager Li, returned to his hometown alone, and spent his old age with his adopted son Ji Xiang, ignoring the affairs of the court and the royal family.

The little emperor took Zhang Cheng to the front of the burned house privately, Zhang Cheng did not tell the little emperor the truth, and the little emperor did not ask Zhang Cheng where Zhang Yue'e and Master Jianyue went. The little emperor may know some truths, but the little emperor didn't break it, and Zhang Cheng didn't report it directly. Zhang Cheng just brought Qin Tai's words to the little emperor, Qin Tai hoped that the little emperor would not abolish the queen at will, and not trust the Empress Dowager Chen too much and treat his subordinates better. The little emperor didn't say a word, nor did he say that he would abide by the agreement.

Soon after, Empress Dowager Chen suddenly became seriously ill, and the best doctor invited by Empress Dowager Li still did not leave Empress Dowager Chen's life. Empress Wang also got a guarantee from the little emperor, although the little emperor still would not come to spend the night with the queen, but the little emperor promised that he would not abolish the queen, unless the queen really did something out of the ordinary. Empress Dowager Li also seemed to have figured it out, and no longer often let King Lu and his wife enter the palace, and King Lu was at ease to be a vassal king in his own place.

Qiu Xiaoqiu later did not become an official, and opened a college in his hometown to teach students how to autopsy and observe the scene. Qiu Min and his wife later came to help, and most of the students of the college were invited by the yamen in various places to work as servants after graduation. Although this industry is not a good profession to get ahead, it is about conscience speaking for the dead, so there are many people who are willing to do it. The students of the college do not have to worry about the origin of the students at all, and the students get along relatively well, because the industry is not very competitive and there is no big development prospect. Graduating students sometimes come back to help teachers in lessons or to exchange experiences together. Everyone writes down their own experiences and experiences for future students to learn and refer to. Therefore, this academy is not the best, nor is it the largest, but it has a good reputation in the local and yamen, and it has existed for decades, until the world is in turmoil and the Manchu Qing Dynasty is out of the customs before it was completely suspended.

The gate of the college is watched by a middle-aged couple, whose husband is illiterate and can only play with flowers and plants. The wife has a bad temper and likes to teach disobedient students, but she listens to her husband very much. The couple looked at the gate every day, basked in the sun, planted flowers, and sometimes went to the mountains to pick some herbs, living a life without fighting with the world. Sometimes everyone will also see Shan Changqiu Xiaoqiu drinking tea and chatting with the couple. But no one in the academy knew about the relationship between Qiu Xiaoqiu and the couple, but some people found that Qiu Xiaoqiu, who was the leader of the academy, respected the couple very much. A student's parent said that their husband and wife were really similar to Qin Tai and his wife back then, but the people of the college repeatedly stated that this couple was not Qin Tai and his wife. Qin Tai and his wife are dead, and it is the conclusion made by the imperial court himself, which will not be wrong. This couple is just a country couple, and it will definitely not be the famous Qin Tai couple.

In the autumn of the thirty-first year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, the little emperor who was already over middle age was resting in his bedroom, and suddenly received a secret letter from Jinyiwei, and the little emperor did not speak for a long time after reading the secret letter. The next day, the little emperor suddenly had to eat vegetarian for a day, and no one knew why the little emperor did this. The little emperor wrote this paragraph in his private diary: "I received news yesterday that Qin Tai and his wife died. To be precise, Qin Tai died, and his wife didn't want to be alone alive and followed. My last two benefactors are gone, and I no longer have anyone to owe and worry about. I'm only sorry for the two of them. In the future, if I meet them below, I will personally apologize to them. ”
