In the Wuying Palace, everyone had different expressions.

Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, is the second son born to Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma.

Zhu Fan was smart when he was young, Yan Yi was heroic, and according to the theory of seeing old age at the age of three, he must at least be a righteous gentleman.

It's a pity that this guy has grown crooked, and he has done many evil things in adulthood, which is ridiculous.

Zhu Fan has a lot of absurd things, often makes mistakes, and has been reprimanded by Zhu Yuanzhang many times, but he still does not repent and still does evil.

He was named the king of Qin, and he was in Xi'an, and after taking office, he caused the anger of the heavens, the people's resentment, and the embarrassment of the army and the people, so that the people in the fief sold their sons and daughters, and complained.

The concubine of the King of Qin, Guanyinnu, is the sister of the famous general Wang Baobao of the Yuan Dynasty and a famous and virtuous woman.

However, Zhu Fan was not satisfied with this arranged marriage, deliberately snubbed Guanyin slave, and at the instigation of the partial concubine Deng, he placed Guanyin slave in another place, and sent food and food with utensils every day. Food and drink, when the new fruit trees, are not clean and quiet, and there are prisoners with the same seclusion.

Later, Deng was given to death by Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Fan was also reprimanded for treating the concubine Wang with courtesy, but this kid was a rebel and still imprisoned Guanyin slaves in the palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang was born in a peasant, and he is very tolerant of his own heirs, and if he has any small mistakes, he is basically reprimanded, which shows that he attaches great importance to blood relatives.

And Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, was able to make Zhu Yuanzhang angry, directly summoned him from the fiefdom to the sky, and severely reprimanded him.

If it weren't for the crown prince Zhu Biao to intercede, Zhu Fan would probably stay in Yingtiansi, and it would be difficult to return to the fiefdom, and it was not impossible to even be deposed.

Now, less than half a year after Zhu Fan returned to the fiefdom of Xi'an, he died mysteriously, which is really surprising.

Zhu Di clearly remembered that when he mourned his eldest brother, Zhu Zhang's mental state was very good, and his body was very tough, and he was not sick at all.

Between the conversations, there is also quite majestic, how can there be the appearance of an untimely death.

But I never thought that it had only been a few months, and the bad news would come so quickly.

For some reason, Zhu Di felt a slight relief in his heart, he felt this and was shocked.

This is his second brother!

Suppressing the thoughts in his mind, Zhu Di looked at his father on the dragon chair, but he didn't feel half sad from his father's expression.

On the contrary, Daddy seemed to have a look that should have been so, as if everything was expected by him.

Did Dad anticipate it, or was he really disappointed in the second brother, and even the death of the second brother couldn't touch him?

Zhu Di didn't know, but he understood that the second brother would never die a normal death.

As His Royal Highness the King of Qin of the Ming Dynasty, how could he die at such a young age?

The second brother is only thirty-six years old this year, and it is the time when he is full of energy, and the second brother has always been good at fighting and has a strong physique, how could he die early?

Zhu Di is keenly aware that there must be something greasy in this!

There must be a traitor among them, otherwise how could the young and powerful second brother suddenly die?

The eunuch presented the music brought by Mao Xiang, and Zhu Yuanzhang looked at it, frowning slightly.

Song Shu said that Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, was poisoned to death by an old woman, and the person had been arrested and confessed.

The speed of solving the case is staggering, and the reason why the old woman was poisoned was that Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, tortured and killed her son to avenge his son.

Zhu Yuanzhang watched it, and handed it to Zhu Di, and after he finished reading it, he said, "Tell me your opinion." ”

"Erchen is really puzzled, the palace is heavily guarded, the diet and daily life are taken care of, and someone is responsible for testing the poison before every meal, what a means this old woman can use to avoid this heavy hurdle."

Zhu Di only felt ridiculous when he saw the dismissal, not to mention that the means of poisoning were extremely naïve, and it was extremely difficult to break through the garrison of the palace, even if he could really poison the dishes, how could he bypass the level of poison testing?

Even if all the levels were bypassed, how could this old woman manage to bribe so many people to willingly prepare for this poisoning plan.

Poisoning the vassal king is not only the crime of killing the head, the people involved in the case basically have to punish the nine clans, even if there are no people involved in the case, as long as they are in the palace, they will inevitably kill the head.

If a plan is to be successful, it must ensure that no one leaks it, otherwise it will fail.

People's hearts are fickle, and they will sway left and right because of interests, and a plan like poisoning the prince involves a large number of people, how can it be done without revealing secrets?

In a confidential plan like this, the more people involved, the greater the risk of leakage, and it is unbelievable that only a few old women can ensure that they are silent throughout the whole process.

If what is said in this note is true, it can only show that this old woman is indeed a talent and can single-handedly plan such a shocking case.

But Zhu Di understands that this possibility is very small, and no matter what the aspect, there will be fatal flaws.

"Father, there must be something wrong with this matter! The death of the second brother will never be so simple, it must involve many unknown secrets, and it is likely that someone is secretly harming! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, this matter is related to the majesty of the royal family, and it must not be overlooked, if it is done hastily, it will inevitably give people an illusion.

The royal family can be bullied!

Once such an illusion appears, from then on, the majesty of the royal family is not guaranteed, and the number of people who are secretly ready to move is bound to increase.

The safety of the heir is related to the transfer of Zhu Yuanzhang's national fortunes, and he attaches great importance to it in his heart, even if this heir is extremely untalented.

The heir who has been named the prince of the vassal is the most important thing, once he dies, he will return again under the turbulence of national fortune, which is not a good thing for him.

But now that Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, has been harmed by some hidden force, it is a private matter of the royal family, even if it is to be investigated, it cannot be faked as an outsider.

The institution that managed the affairs of the royal family in the Ming Dynasty was called the Zongren Mansion.

The Zongren Mansion is in charge of the clan roster of the emperor's nine clans, compiling jade on time, recording the clan's children's descendants, names, titles, birth and death times, marriages, nicknames, burials and other matters.

Its duty was to report to the Emperor the request for the Clan's statement; the introduction of talented people; Record the guilt and negligence of the clan.

Zongrenfu was established in the early Ming Dynasty, Hongwu three years called the main courtyard of the great sect, Hongwu twenty-two years changed to Zongren Mansion.

The first Zongren Ling was naturally Zhu Yuanzhang's second son, Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, and Zuo Zongzheng was served by Zhu Li, the king of Jin.

The right sect is served by Zhu Di, the king of Yan!

In addition, there are also the people of the left sect and the people of the right sect, which are held by the king of Zhou and the king of Chu respectively.

The entire Zongren Mansion was directly controlled by the royal family, and Zhu Zhang, the King of Qin, was the supreme person in charge.

Now that the Qin King Zhu Fan has died mysteriously, the only person who can investigate the cause of his death is none other than several subordinate vassal kings.

Zhu Di is now the crown prince, so naturally he does not have the title of King Yan, and he does not hold important positions in the Zongren Mansion.

If the matter is handed over to Zhu Li, the king of Jin......

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Di, thought for a while, and said, "Di'er, this matter will be handed over to you to handle." ”

"Son's Command!"

Zhu Di did not hesitate and took over this matter.

As for why his father didn't let the third brother investigate, Zhu Di also had some guesses in his heart.

First of all, the third brother's style is very problematic, and he can be regarded as a problem vassal king.

Zhu Di remembered that the third brother Zhu Li once did a ridiculous thing.
