Chapter 82: Investigating the Assassins
Seeing that Li Chengzhou agreed, he stopped talking nonsense, and then left in style.
Looking at his distant back, Li Chengzhou had his own plans in his heart.
Now that the mill is slaughtered and the donkey is killed, there is no one in sight, how can such mediocrity be of great use?
Since the death of the emperor, the crown prince has been anxious to ascend the throne, and the early dynasty also proposed that the country should not be without a king for a day, hoping to succeed to the throne as soon as possible.
The ministers weighed the pros and cons and thought about it.
Now there are many parties in the DPRK and China, and the prince's party is very powerful, but the strength of the other party members should not be underestimated, and if he does not listen to the dissuasion and insists on going his own way, it will definitely lead to great disasters.
"Your Royal Highness doesn't have to rush to ascend the throne, the murderer has not yet been investigated and punished, and now His Majesty has not entered the imperial tomb in accordance with the rules of the ancestors.
The officials took this opportunity to resist one after another, and the prince's face changed suddenly.
He glanced at the ministers around him with a gloomy face, his eyes were gloomy, and his gaze was fierce.
"My father needs to enter the imperial mausoleum as soon as possible, and I also asked the Ministry of Industry to repair the imperial mausoleum as soon as possible, don't delay the rules of the ancestors, and don't let the court and the central government be in chaos."
Hearing this, Shangshu of the Ministry of Trust suddenly shuddered, and his heart was shocked, but he didn't expect this matter to fall on his head.
He could only take it head-on.
At this time, Li Chengzhou stood in the corner without saying a word, he knew that the prince wanted to ascend the throne as soon as possible and become the new emperor, but now that he saw that the prince was determined to go his own way and his true form was revealed, he naturally would not give up easily.
After thinking about it, he decided to make the matter public.
The civil and military officials were so angry in the court that they went to the Teaching Workshop Division to release the pressure, and Li Chengzhou asked Zhao Songlin to arrange everything in advance.
When hundreds of officials come here to have fun, they will inadvertently hear rumors.
"I heard that the prince is ruthless, it is very likely that His Majesty sent a killer to kill him, not to mention that he has no one in his eyes on weekdays, and he takes it by force."
There was a discussion behind the door, and several senior officials of the court who were drinking suddenly pricked up their ears to listen.
"Not only did he commit all kinds of sins, but I heard that Prime Minister Leng had left evidence of all the crimes of all the officials before his death, and these things are now in the hands of the prince."
The big man was surprised in his heart, and the movements in his hands stopped abruptly.
"It's not that all the evidence was destroyed and burned by the fire."
The other person's tentative inquiry also made several adults behind him nervous.
"Do you really think that this is the truth and rumors? The prince had already sent someone to take the opportunity of condolence to sneak in, and after stealing all the things, he put a fire to cover up, Zhang Jiuqing was just trying to fake the tiger, but he never wanted to be known by the prince and others, and now that the prince has ascended the throne, the major event has been decided, and when he becomes the new emperor, all the ministers will be rectified. ”
The man's tone was genuine, and the wine glasses in the hands of several senior officials trembled a little.
"With his vengeful nature, if anyone opposed his accession to the throne in the court that day, would he easily let them go in the future? What's more, those ministers who helped him, for the crown prince, weren't they his weakness and shackles? ”
The faces of the people who were originally in high spirits turned pale, and the wine glasses in their hands trembled, never expecting to hear such news.
A few people no longer have the grace to have fun, and left the workshop in a hurry.
It didn't take long for what they had heard to spread by adding fuel and vinegar, and they were all shocked.
The ministers were thoughtful, thoughtful, and timid.
In order to stay for a long time, several ministers decided to block the crown prince's accession to the throne in the court after deliberation.
This is the early dynasty, the prince expressed his heart, but was obstructed by several people.
"Now that Your Majesty has not closed his eyes and is not blind, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in such a hurry to ascend the throne, is it a little unreasonable?"
Several people immediately found fault with the prince in every way, but the prince had already endured it for a long time, and his face was full of anger.
Then he waved his sleeves and turned to look at the ministers angrily, his eyes burning with anger.
"If you don't let this temple ascend the throne today, isn't it harboring evil intentions? Don't think that no one knows what you have done, and you have put your relatives into the court as officials, and used your status and status to commit murder and evil, are your crimes still less? ”
He took out evidence to anger several ministers, and originally thought that this rumor was false, but when he really faced Li Yi, several people's faces were shocked.
It seems that the rumors are true, and the minister's heart is shocked, and his resistance to Li Yi is even deeper.
And he didn't know that he had already lost the hearts of the people.
"In three days, the main hall will be enthroned, do you have any questions?"
He looked around with a cold face, the anger in his eyes had not yet disappeared, and the ministers around him had already clenched their hands into fists, but they didn't dare to show it.
At this moment, an official dared to admonish, and his face showed a look of death.
"I also hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will think twice, now that the assassin who killed His Majesty has not been found, it is really against the will of the ancestors to ascend the throne hastily, if the murderer cannot be found, he will rashly set up a new emperor, such a major event will shake the foundation of the country."
Other ministers seconded the proposal, and although the prince was very dissatisfied at this moment, he could only grit his teeth and remain silent.
"Since what the ministers said is so, then the main hall will investigate it personally, and the real murderer of my father will definitely be found!"
He didn't say anything more, a dissatisfied look on his face, and then turned around and left with a group of princelings.
After consulting with a number of party members, he decided to expand the scope of the investigation.
It didn't take long for him to get the news, and after some investigation, he suspected that the matter was done by the Immortal Cultivation Sect.
"At present, there are very few sects that cultivate immortals, and there are many sects that we don't know at all."
Most of the immortal cultivation sects are located in the deep mountains and old forests that no one knows, and some are in the mysterious secret realm of no man's island, and it is really difficult to find the immortal cultivation sect.
"You don't necessarily have to find these sects that we don't know, isn't Tianxuanzong destroyed? Isn't there anyone who has fled from the Tianxuan Sect who wants to take revenge? ”
After some guidance, the people under him suddenly came to their senses, and then they used this rhetoric in the court to convince all the ministers.
However, the ministers have long had their own plans and have resisted such arguments.
"If Xuantian Sect really has such ability, how can it be that Leng Mochen can't do anything when he is dying? What's more, Tianxuanzong is just a false sect, if it really has such ability, why will it be slaughtered? ”
When the questions were in front of them, they couldn't reply, so they could only let the ministers guide them.
Suddenly, the crown prince's face was dark, gloomy and terrifying, but he was powerless to refute.
After retiring from the court, he immediately found the secretary of the criminal department, hoping to solve these problems as soon as possible.
"We must find the evidence sooner."
The criminal department Shangshu agreed, and began to look around for evidence of the killers.
