Chapter 109: The True Reason
"What's the good news? Say it! Concubine Tang couldn't wait to order.
The rest of the concubines also looked at the little eunuch expectantly.
The little eunuch: "Didn't the master let the servants keep an eye on the movements of the Baohe Palace, and as soon as there was anything about His Highness, he would immediately come to report it......
"Getting to the point!" Concubine Tang urged anxiously.
The little eunuch immediately got to the point, "The slave has a little brother who is on an errand in the Baohe Palace, and I heard him say that when he was in the morning this morning, he faintly heard Dali Siqing and Yu Zuo mention the cause of Du Tianqing's death, saying that there was already a result. ”
Concubine Tang: "What is the result?" ”
"The minions got the news and immediately came to report to the little masters, the specific results, the minions don't know, but one thing is certain, that is, Du Tianqing's death has nothing to do with His Royal Highness the Prince!"
Hearing this, all the concubines present were happy.
"That's good!" Concubine Tang rewarded the eunuch with silver, and also instructed: "You take some more silver tickets to find your little brother, and once there is any specific news, continue to come back and report it!" ”
"Yes." The little eunuch received the reward and immediately went on an errand again.
Although the harem concubines are not allowed to interfere in the government affairs, the concubines in the emperor's harem are still the concubines of the East Palace.
After all, throughout the ages, the former dynasty and the harem have been inextricably linked, and very few can really do this.
It is light to inquire about the prince's favorable news like Concubine Tang.
I heard that the concubines of Emperor Jianyuan not only inquired about the emperor's news, but also wrote letters to their mother's family and interfered in court politics!
After the little eunuch left, the concubines present changed their listlessness and were all beaming.
Concubine Tang: "Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is fine, then I have a few more important things to say." ”
Jiang Shishi looked up at Concubine Tang, who changed her melancholy look.
When he looked at everyone, his eyes were no longer kind, and he had the usual taste of Gong Dou.
**
In the Baohe Palace, hundreds of civil and military officials are going to the court.
At this moment, the Dali Temple is explaining the cause of Du Tianqing's death.
"Your Majesty, according to the investigation of the ministers, on the day of the incident, the deceased Du Tianqing did not return to the house, but has been hiding in the Ministry of Rites. ”
"And Du Tianqing's study has a top cabinet, and there are man's footprints in the cabinet, according to our inspection, it is Du Tianqing's footprints, from which it can be inferred that the deceased was hidden in the cabinet that day."
Emperor Jianyuan looked at the work and listened very attentively.
"In addition, there are no strangulation marks, scars, and no signs of fighting or struggle on the deceased's body. ”
"Then, when the deceased's body has no traces and there is water, but drowning, we can rule out homicide and conclude that it is suicide."
As soon as these words came out, it caused an uproar below the court.
Immediately afterwards, King Kang questioned it.
"God's fucking suicide!" King Kang said irritably: "Your Dali Temple has checked these days, and the result is that you committed suicide?" In this way, even if the murderer can't be found, it can be stopped, right? ”
If the prince is not in charge of the Ministry of Rites, this imperial examination, he plans to buy off the relationship, stuff more guests into the court as officials, seek convenience for himself, and strengthen the Kangwang Party!
But if the imperial examination is still under the control of the prince, not to mention that the prince is upright and rigorous.
The key is that he and the prince are not in the same camp, and the prince will only manage more strictly!
"Our Dali Temple has always been fair and strict in handling cases, these days, we have been investigating the case day and night, His Royal Highness King Kang has no good words, and he will question us when he opens his mouth, which is really too deceitful!" Wei Changjian, the secretary of Dali Temple, was not happy.
"Casually say that the deceased committed suicide, and this is not a day and night investigation? Is this fair and strict? Shh King Kang scoffed at this.
"You..." If it weren't for King Kang's sake, Wei Changjian would have jumped up and cursed.
"Wei Aiqing's case, I have always been trustworthy!" Wei Changjian only listened to Emperor Jianyuan on weekdays and did not attach himself to any party.
Since Wei Changjian said that Du Tianqing committed suicide, Emperor Jianyuan naturally believed it, and he reprimanded King Kang with a straight face: "Second brother, don't apologize to Lord Wei soon!" ”
Reprimanded by Emperor Jianyuan, King Kang suppressed his dissatisfaction in his heart, and bowed his hand to Wei Changjian, "Lord Wei, this king is too concerned about the lives of the court officials, and he is reckless for a while, so I will compensate you here." ”
Hearing this, Wei Changjian responded, "His Royal Highness King Kang's temperament is too reckless, so it is better to change it in the future." ”
King Kang turned his head and no longer bothered Wei Changjian.
This king gives you face, it is for the sake of your father's face, do you really take yourself seriously and teach this king to do things here?
Since Emperor Jianyuan and Wei Changjian both said that Du Tianqing committed suicide, everyone stopped talking about this and began to talk about why Du Tianqing committed suicide.
"Good and dignified, why did Du Tianqing commit suicide?"
"Who knows, it must have happened to something unpleasant, and I can't figure out suicide for a while."
"I heard that on the day Du Tianqing committed suicide, he was forked out in public by the prince, probably because he felt disgraced."
And so forth and so on......
Fan Songkang: "You only heard that Du Tianqing was forked out by His Royal Highness the Prince, do you know why he was forked out?" ”
Seeing everyone's puzzled faces, Fan Songkang spoke for the prince, "That's because when he was discussing in the Ministry of Rites, he deliberately targeted His Royal Highness the prince three times and twice." ”
Some officials questioned, "Are you sure it's deliberately targeted?" And not the normal opinion is different? ”
Fan Songkang: "Whenever His Royal Highness the Prince speaks, Du Tianqing will object, even if he still supports Lord Song Fu Song one moment ago, and the next moment he hears that the prince agrees, he immediately turns his face and refutes, does this seem to be a difference of opinion?" ”
Seeing that no one raised any more objections, Fan Songkang continued.
Such an rude person, it is obvious that he is at fault in the first place, and if he commits suicide just because he was forked out, then his heart is too fragile. Moreover, Du Tianqing was not reprimanded by Lord Shangshu and Lord Shilang in the Ministry of Rites, but he never committed suicide. ”
"There is one point, Du Tianqing is sleek and sophisticated, and he has never targeted the prince in public in the past, but that day he was unusual, and frequently raised objections to the prince."
Speaking of this, he raised the court board in his hand to Emperor Jianyuan, "Your Majesty, Weichen suspects that Du Tianqing was instructed by someone, so he targeted the crown prince, as for the real reason for his suicide, he may have been forced to death by the people who instructed him behind the scenes!" ”
......Hearing this, Emperor Jianyuan looked down at the civil and military ministers and princes at the head of the palace.
The sophisticated eyes swept sharply over the faces of King Kang and the others, King Mu and the others.
With such a pair of sophisticated eyes that can see through all of them, everyone lowered their heads and lowered their eyes, not daring to look at them.
Especially King Huai, looking down at the ground, cold sweat trickling.
After a few breaths, the rich and majestic voice of Emperor Jianyuan came from above......
