Chapter 53: Concubine Duan's Family History
Zhu Zaili sat in the small courtyard, and the clothes behind him were almost wet with cold sweat.
"So Concubine Cao Duan was framed because of this?"
Ning Jue took a deep breath.
"Sort of."
"Wang Ningfei wants to pull a cushion, and Empress Xiaolie needs a reason for Zhang Jinlian to give up the near and far."
"So Concubine Cao Duan must be an accomplice!"
In the Ming Dynasty, the Son of Heaven lived in the dormitory, and although Concubine Cao Duan served in bed, she still had to sleep separately from the Son of Heaven when she slept.
When Yang Jinying and others assassinated Jiajing, Concubine Cao Duan slept in the side room of the same palace.
Only Zhang Juzheng's brows were furrowed.
"No, if it is the funeral of the monarch's father, it will naturally be arranged by Empress Xiaolie, but the monarch's father woke up later, who is the monarch's father, how can he not see the secret?"
Hearing Zhang Juzheng's words, Ning Jue also suddenly sensed that something was wrong.
"This Gangong man didn't die that day, but the next spring?"
Ning Jue couldn't help frowning.
is completely different from the self-media propaganda in later generations, Queen Fang did not take advantage of Jiajing's recent resurrection and couldn't speak, and quickly killed everyone.
Even Yang Jinying and others were executed in the spring of the following year.
But it's also a matter of thought.
If the queen really took advantage of Jiajing's wake-up to clean up all the criminals, what is the difference between directly surrendering to Jiajing.
"The prisoner was indeed executed after the approval of the Son of Heaven."
Zhu Zaili took the file in his hand and said to Ning Jue.
Although Zhu Zaili was still young at that time, he could already remember.
Such a major event that almost succeeded to the throne ahead of schedule, Zhu Zaili naturally remembered it clearly.
Those who were arrested before the end of the year were beheaded for public display in the spring after the year, and Zhu Zaili naturally remembered it well.
Ning Jue's brows furrowed.
"Unless ......"
Without waiting for Ning Jue to finish speaking, Zhang Juzheng blurted out his debut
"Unless Empress Xiaolie finds a reason to make the monarch firmly believe that Concubine Cao Duan is involved in this matter!"
Hearing Zhang Juzheng's words, Ning Jue seemed to be empowered.
He is also keenly aware of the breath of death.
"That's right! In the nineteenth year of Jiajing, the Son of Heaven conferred the title of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry of Xu Shen to take charge of the affairs of the Tai Hospital. ”
Huang Jin...... When did Huang Jin become the head of the celebrant and supervisor? ”
Zhu Zaili thought for a moment.
"It was Jiajing's 24th year of transfer to the secretary of ceremonies and supervisors, who was transferred from the appointment of internal officials and supervisors.
When Ning Jue heard this, he hurriedly looked through Xu Shen's file again, and after reading it, he couldn't help but gasp.
"That makes sense."
"Xu Shen Hongzhi entered the Tai Hospital for five years to serve in the imperial pharmacy to the first year of Jiajing, and he was not awarded the post of imperial doctor for 30 years, and the first year of Jiajing was awarded the imperial doctor, and then he was promoted all the way to Jiajing in the nineteenth year of the Ministry of Industry to take charge of the Tai Hospital."
"The Son of Heaven is to see that Xu Shen was born in a famous medical family and has no foundation in the court, so he was promoted, Huang Jin is still a good prisoner, Xu Shen is the main hospital, and the safety of the Son of Heaven is guaranteed."
Zhang Juzheng looked at Ning Jue suspiciously.
"It was Empress Xiaoyeol who splashed dirty water on the body of the force that made the monarch aware of the threat?"
Ning Jue shook his head.
"I'm afraid that Empress Xiaolie may not be the real mastermind, Brother Zhang, how can you tell a lie to deceive people?"
Zhang Juzheng couldn't help but smile when he heard this.
"Half-truths and half-truths, the most bluffing!"
Ning Jue looked at Zhang Juzheng and joked:
"Of course, Brother Zhang is also a good deceitful?"
Zhang Juzheng couldn't help but smile bitterly:
"No, Zhang is just a person who has been deceived."
Ning Jue picked up the dossier casually, half-jokingly and half-reminded:
"That being the case, Brother Zhang should learn to deceive people, I am afraid that the end of being an official in the DPRK will not deceive people, I am afraid it will be very miserable."
It is precisely because he knows the direction of history in the future that Ning Jue still wants to remind Zhang Juzheng.
Zhang Juzheng suddenly got serious and arched his hand towards Ning Jue.
"Zhang, no regrets."
The scene was cold for a while, and Zhu Zaili brought the topic back to the case.
"Master Ning, according to what you can see, who is the person who has been plotting to assassinate the king? can be entrenched in the court for more than 20 years, so that the monarch is still so jealous for so many years? ”
Ning Jue looked at the file in front of him and said leisurely.
"can make the Son of Heaven jealous for more than 20 years, I'm afraid it's not a matter of two people."
"It's just that Concubine Cao Duan's body must have something similar to that group of people, which will make the Son of Heaven believe that a concubine who is loved by thousands of people will assassinate the king and kill him!"
Zhu Zaili looked at Ning Jue suspiciously.
And Ning Jue rummaged through the files in front of him.
"Therefore, I am afraid that this reason is not on Concubine Cao Duan, where is the file of Concubine Cao Duan's maiden family?"
Concubine Cao's dossier only records that Concubine Cao's real name is Cao Luoying, a native of Changzhou.
Ning Jue already had a bold conjecture in his heart.
It's just that something needs to be done.
The three of them rummaged through it, only to find a paper tube sandwiched between the file.
Zhang Juzheng looked at the paper tube in front of him suspiciously.
"It's ...... Is this the dossier of the ministry? ”
The family files of the rest of the people involved in the Renyin Palace were all files of the household department, and a file of the Ministry of Officials appeared out of thin air.
Ning Jue unwrapped the seal on the file without thinking.
"This is the Cao family's dossier."
With just one glance, Ning Jue saw that line of big characters.
"Cao Cha, the word Mingqing, the biological father of Concubine Duan, the eighth year of Jiajing, the top three jinshi of the Chou Branch, was first awarded to Shaowuzhi County, Fujian, and later promoted to the prefect of Tingzhou, Fujian, and the title of the leader of the Sanming Prefect."
It's Fujian again!
"In the twenty-first year of Jiajing, the first assistant of the cabinet is...... Xia Yan? ”
Ning Jue muttered, then raised his head suddenly, looked at Zhu Zaili and asked.
"Can Lu Gongzi go to the Ministry of Officials to transfer Xia Yan's file?"
Zhu Zaili looked at Ning Jue with a puzzled expression and asked.
"What does Master Ning want Xia Yan's dossier to do?"
"I want to know how Xia Yan got started to confirm my conjecture."
Zhang Juzheng arched towards Ning Jue
"Brother Ning doesn't have to bother, Xia Yan and Xia Ge started with the sea ban."
Ning Jue looked at Zhang Juzheng suspiciously.
"How does Brother Zhang know?"
Zhang Juzheng smiled helplessly and said: "Zhang really admires Brother Ning more and more, Xia Yan has been leading the uncle for a long time, and the candidates in the field have to figure out the mind of the main exam, so they naturally want to understand the life of Xia Ge, Brother Ning can enter the department without merging with him, Zhang admires it very much." ”
Zhang Juzheng took a deep breath and said leisurely.
"In the second year of Jiajing, the Japanese invaders fought for tribute in Ningbo, and there was a great earthquake in Zhejiang.
Zhu Zaili also suddenly remembered Guo Xun that Ning Jue had mentioned to him before, and muttered subconsciously
"On the ninth day of October in the twenty-first year of Jiajing, Guo Xun died in the edict prison, and on October 19 of the twenty-first year of Jiajing, Yang rebelled against Jin Ying and usurped it, only ten ......days away."
The answer came to the minds of the three of them almost at the same time.
That force that even the Son of Heaven has to be afraid of.
It is the southeast of Fujian and Zhejiang!
And in this case, there is a faint figure of Xia Yan!
