Chapter 144: The Palace Debate

Chen Mingda glared at Yin Falcon with angry eyes, if it was really as Sun Chengwen said, the whole mission was poisoned because of greed for a cup of good wine, causing Chen Gujun to be killed by thieves, then he must have cut off Yin Falcon's head!

Not only Dongping Kingdom, but the entire Han Dynasty has regulations that soldiers are not allowed to drink alcohol during marching and fighting, Yin Falcon, as the commander of the regiment, not only did not stop this behavior, but took the lead in drinking, not to mention the serious consequences caused by this behavior, it is already a big crime to drink alcohol illegally.

Chen Mingda couldn't ignore Ye Yunyang, and he made great contributions to the mission to return to Dongping Kingdom, so he held back the anger in his heart and said, "Feng'an County Hou has something to say, please speak." ”

Ye Yunyang said in a flat tone: "What I want to say is that the prince also drank alcohol. ”

Sun Chengwen sneered again: "Marquis of Feng'an County, it is reasonable for the prince to drink, he is not a soldier, and he does not need to abide by the prohibition of alcohol." ”

Ye Yunyang turned his head to the old fox and said, "I want to ask Prime Minister Sun who has the highest rank in the mission. ”

Sun Chengwen didn't think about it and said: "Of course it's the son." ”

"That's right, General Yin and the three hundred tiger guards are under the leadership and command of Shizi, this is an indisputable fact. Ye Yunyang continued: "Since the prince can lead the generals and soldiers, he is equivalent to the chief generals of the three armies, and the main generals have all drank, why can't his subordinates drink?"

Sun Chengwen shouted: "Ye Yunyang, you are using strong words. ”

Ye Yunyang smiled faintly: "Prime Minister Sun, do you want to cure General Yin's crime so much, is it out of public intentions, or out of the idea of bringing down political enemies? You don't need to answer me, I'm not interested in listening to you sing high-pitched, and one more thing I want to tell you, we caught a live mouth, according to him, they made three or four sets of plans, if we didn't drink, we would poison the breakfast on the second day, and poison the drinking water, these are all unguardable strategies." ”

Wu Han took a step forward: "According to the meaning of the Marquis of Feng'an County, the thieves will not stop until they reach their goal." ”

"Yes, that's it. Ye Yunyang turned to the monarch and said, "Your Highness, please be aware that in that case, we have no reason to suspect that the post keeper and the post pawn are fake, but they have a way to poison us." One thing I don't understand the most is why the mission should be rerouted south to Yongping Mountain, if we return the same way, how can the prince be murdered?"

Chen Mingda turned to ask Sun Chengwen: "The route was formulated by Prime Minister Sun Cheng, you can explain it." ”

Ye Yunyang smiled, Wu Han also smiled, and the two shifted the monarch's attention to Sun Chengwen.

Sun Chengwen glared at Ye Yunyang, bowed and said: "Your Royal Highness, it was the prince who instructed the minister to arrange it like this, he said that it was not easy to go out of the country once, and he wanted to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Han Dynasty, and the minister, as a courtier, was not good at refusing the prince's request, so he decided to change his route to Yongping Mountain at the suggestion of a group of staff. ”

It is indeed an old fox, and he directly puts the responsibility on the dead ghost Chen Gujun, even if Chen Mingda has 10,000 grievances, he can't say that Sun Chengwen is not.

Seeing that he was about to be fooled by Sun Chengwen, Ye Yunyang said again: "There is an even more strange thing, the Nanshan thieves and our mission set off at the same time, and when the mission arrived in Linjiang Country, they had already killed the post men and post guards of Yongping Station, calmly made all preparations, and waited for us to appear." I would like to ask the Prime Minister, why do the Nanshan thieves know clearly about our itinerary, even if I am a counselor, I only know that I want to change my route to Yongping Mountain after leaving Linjiang Country. ”

Sun Chengwen's eyelids jumped a few times involuntarily, he noticed that the monarch's gaze was still on him, and he had to give a reasonable explanation, and replied: "It is true that the route was planned by the old minister, but with the participation of no less than 20 staff members and officials, it is impossible to achieve absolute secrecy. ”

"That is to say, Prime Minister Sun Cheng also thinks that he and his subordinates leaked information, right?" Ye Yunyang's words were ruthless enough, and he directly sent Sun Chengwen into a place of no return, even if his subordinates leaked information, you couldn't escape it.

Sun Chengwen sneered: "Can't the people in the mission betray the information?"

Ye Yunyang shrugged his shoulders and asked Yin Falcon, "General Yin, when did you know the route arrangement?" ”

Yin replied, "I would have known about it on the day of departure. ”

Ye Yunyang smiled: "Even the commander of the regiment only found out on the same day, let alone those soldiers, it is impossible for them to leak information." I think no one in the entire mission except for the prince and the eunuch with him should know about this, and the prince and the eunuch are the victims, and they are even more unlikely to leak the secret. ”

The spearhead is still Sun Chengwen and his men, the old fox is very angry, originally he, as the party who made the trouble, had full confidence to get rid of Yin Falcon, but now he has become the object of suspicion, just because of Ye Yunyang's words that misled everyone.

Ye Yunyang continued: "According to the leader of the Nanshan bandits, he accepted someone's heavy money to hire him before he broke into my Han Empire to commit crimes, and this matter was also confirmed by the captured live mouth. I've been thinking about this all the way, the prince has never taken half a step out of the palace before this mission, it is impossible to offend anyone, who is going to put him to death, and who benefits the most from the death of the prince?"

This is very interesting, everyone is associated, even Chen Mingda can't help but think of two people: the second son Chen Gupeng and the third son Chen Gubai, Chen Gujun will choose one of them to be the prince when he dies, which can be said to be the person who benefited the most.

However, the three brothers grew up in the palace since they were children, and they never stepped out of the palace gate, so how could they collude with the Nanshan thieves? However, if they joined forces with the minister to do this, it was still very likely.

Chen Mingda has a lot of eyes, which determines his suspicious character, mainly because the eldest son died too strangely, and it is difficult not to think about it.

Yin Falcon continued to kneel on one knee, with Ye Yunyang and Wu Han on his side to help, he knew that he would definitely not worry about his life, and put his hanging heart back to its original position.

At this time, the guards outside reported loudly: "The priest of the temple and the priest of the National Academy of Heaven, Master Dongfang Pingtai, ask to see the monarch." ”

Chen Mingda raised his head and said without thinking: "Please, please invite Lord Dongfang to come in." ”

Dongfang Pingtai strode in, first nodded slightly towards Ye Yunyang, Wu Han and Yin Falcon, and then saluted to the monarch: "Your Highness, the old man heard that the prince was plotted by the Nanshan thieves, and I ask you not to grieve the national capital, take care of your body, everything is important to state affairs." ”

Chen Mingda hung his head and said: "The prince who has been cultivated by the widow with more than 20 years of hard work is just gone, and he is unwilling." ”

Dongfang Pingtai persuaded again: "The dead are gone, the living are like this, I believe that the spirit of the son of the world in the sky does not want to see His Highness sad, what we have to do is to find out the real culprit behind the scenes, and avenge him." ”

Chen Mingda nodded solemnly and said, "Lord Dongfang is right, although it was the Nanshan thieves who killed my son, and the thief chief was also killed by General Yin, but the most important thing is to find out who spent money to buy the murderer, and this matter will be handed over to the Taiwei...... No, it's still prime minister...... No, both of you have to avoid suspicion, then there is Lord Lao Dongfang to find out the truth on behalf of the widow. ”

A group of ministers were envious, and stood here for a long time to help the monarch give advice, but the monarch treated them as transparent, and directly handed over the errand to Dongfang Pingtai, who had just come in.

Dongfang Pingtai smiled bitterly, in fact, he didn't want to take this job, it was easy to offend people if he bothered to do it, although he was ordered to investigate the case, but no matter who was found on his head, no one would be happy.

But since the monarch had already given the order, and his words were quite earnest, he was embarrassed to refuse, so he had to agree: "The old man obeys the order, and he will definitely find out about this matter and comfort the soul of the son in heaven." ”

"Okay, all the people and others will be handed over to Lord Dongfang, you can check how you want, you only need one result, the final result. After Chen Mingda said this, he stood up and walked towards the side door with a lonely expression.

The eunuch swept the dust and said in a sharp voice: "Retreat." ”

The ministers were in groups of three or five, whispering while turning to leave, Sun Chengwen glanced at Yin Falcon very meaningfully, and also turned to leave.

There were only four people left in the huge Qinzheng Palace, Dongfang Pingtai, Wu Han, Yin Falcon and Ye Yunyang, and the old man smiled bitterly: "It's really not the right time for me to come, I haven't stood firm yet, and I have fallen on such an errand." ”

Wu Han smiled and said: "Lord Dongfang is polite, even if you don't come, the monarch will hand over this matter to you to deal with, because of Yin Falcon's relationship, I want to avoid suspicion, because of the route formulation Sun Lao Fox also has to avoid suspicion, it is obviously not appropriate to hand it over to other ministers, their position is too low, and there are so many people involved in this case, they can't control the scene at all, and the only person the monarch can rely on is Lord Dongfang." ”

Ye Yunyang lowered his voice and asked, "Uncle Wu, have you found out what I asked you to investigate?"

Wu Han nodded: "I have found it out, but this is not the place to talk, if you are not busy, it is better to go to my house for a cup of tea, and we will talk while drinking tea." ”

All three of them had no opinion and left the palace together.

In the secret room behind the study in the Taiwei Mansion, Wu Han personally poured tea for everyone and said, "When the news of the murder of the prince reached the palace, the reactions of the two princes were completely different. ”

Dai Jingwei followed Yin Falcon's order to come back to deliver the news, but after he came back, he did not go to meet the monarch, but the seer Wu Han, which Ye Yunyang specially explained, asking him to bring a message to Wu Han and pay close attention to the reaction of the two princes after learning that Chen Gujun was killed.

If someone is looking for trouble afterwards and questions why Dai Jingwei didn't see the monarch for the first time, Ye Yunyang has already thought of a reason, Dai Jingwei is just a small soldier and is not qualified to meet the monarch, so he will go to see the Taiwei first, and then the Taiwei will take him to see the monarch.

Wu Han said in a deep voice: "When the second prince Chen Gupeng heard the news, the whole person was stupid, and he was stunned for a while before he reacted; ”

Ye Yunyang frowned: "If you say that, the third prince is more suspicious. ”

Wu Han nodded: "I think so too, and there are signs that Sun Chengwen is very close to him, I suspect that this matter is caused by their collusion inside and outside." ”

Dongfang Pingtai opened his mouth and said, "Two, I'm sorry to interrupt you two, what are you talking about?"
