Chu Yu didn't know what would happen to Shen Hong in the future, but the current country needed Shen Hong, and he hoped that Shen Hong would not be soft-hearted, and now that he had a □□, he would get rid of Li Huchen, weaken the Qi family, and concentrate power in the hands of the emperor.

There are only people in the country, so let Shen Hong take care of the current situation first.

In the future, there will always be someone who will come to take care of Shen Hong.

Just like to him.

Everything is fate.

Chu Yu's gaze gradually drifted.

It's fate......

Unwilling to ......

From time to time, the imperial physician probed the emperor's snort with a feather, and at the last moment, he saw that the feather did not move at all, his face was pale, and he trembled.

"Your Majesty! Crashed! ”

The imperial physician fell to his knees with a thud and began to mourn and cry, and the whole palace was filled with mourning, and everyone knelt down and hid their faces and wept, and two of the important ministers even wailed and wept.

The cry alarmed the outside, and it was known that the emperor was gone, and for a moment it was like a tsunami in the mountains, and everyone fell to their knees, wailing and crying.

Lin Piao knelt in the crowd, snorted twice and covered his face with his sleeves, pretended to wipe his tears, and looked at the few courtiers next to him.

But there are also many people who are really sad, now is the beginning of a new prosperous era in Daning, but His Majesty, who created all this, has passed away, who will take them down again? With a new emperor, can Daning be as good as it is now?

Lin Piao looked around while pretending to cry, and saw a richly dressed child kneeling not far away, he was not like other people, there were many supporters around him, and there were only two maids beside him, he knelt in the crowd, short and small, with a delicate appearance, and the maid next to him covered it with her sleeves, but it could still be seen that he was pinching his thighs desperately, and the children were crying, and the tears were rolling down one by one, as if they didn't want money.

Lin Piao looked at the child's dress, this banquet can't bring family members to the banquet, this child is most likely Chu Yu's younger brother, Daning's little prince.

Lin Piao still felt in a trance, and he pinched his thigh, he had always been worried that Shen Hong and them would fail, and finally become Chu Yu's meal, but he didn't expect that in just a moment, Chu Yu's life would be cut off.

They cried outside for a while.

When he raised his eyes, he saw Shen Hong walking out with several important cabinet ministers and the eunuchs beside the emperor.

Apparently everyone had just cried, and they all looked very sad.

Shen Hong still had tears in his eyes, and raised his voice to look at the people below: "Your Majesty's last words said that anyone can be established, but we courtiers should choose a smart one who can succeed the country for all generations." ”

Many courtiers were in an uproar, and they had never heard of such a thing, but after thinking about it, none of His Majesty's two young sons could afford such a big inheritance, and at present it was impossible to see whether they were smart enough or what their roots were, and His Majesty's younger brothers were older, but the Fifth Princes were really suspicious, and the Sixth and Seventh Princes were older than the two Little Highnesses, and they were indeed not particularly suitable candidates, and none of them were particularly outstanding.

Seeing this, the five princes strode out, with a sad expression: "The emperor's nephew is young, and the two younger brothers are still young. ”

The ministers stole and looked at the five princes, but there was really no better way at present.

The fifth prince looked at Shen Hong, his expression was indifferent, but there was a void in his heart, Shen Hong was wise, the old things present were all grass on the wall, even if he didn't want to help him, he wouldn't do anything to offend him, he was afraid that Shen Hong would stop him at this moment, and things would not go well in the future.

At this moment, the Imperial City Guards sent out by Shen Hong rushed in quickly: "Tell all the princes!" Greetings to all of you! Wechen stumbled upon this in the grass outside the dining room wall. ”

He held it in a silk pala, a pale blue ceramic vial, the lid had been opened, and the mouth was open in the hands of the imperial city guard.

Shen Hong's eyes were handed to the imperial doctor, and everyone looked over, surrounded by several imperial doctors, and the most respected imperial doctor held the bottle and carefully inspected it and sniffed it, probing it with a silver needle, and then his face changed greatly and he fell to his knees.

"This thing is highly poisonous, this is it!"

Everyone looked at the small bottle, and Shen Hong stepped forward, took out the handkerchief in his hand, and held the small bottle in his hand.

"Celadon in the sky."

The fifth prince stepped forward: "Maybe you can see who the murderer is?" Lord Shen must catch the murderer and avenge the royal brother! ”

"Nature." Shen Hong glanced at him indifferently: "Celadon is a very ordinary thing, but if it is popular among the people, the royal family will not use it, but there is no reason for this, but in order not to damage the royal status, the tribute of celadon is replaced by another thing." ”

The minister on the side exclaimed: "Is it jade white celadon?" ”

Shen Hong nodded: "Yes, this object is ordinary, inconspicuous, but the glaze is as white as jade, the color is like azure, look at the bottom of the bottle, the ordinary celadon is rough, and the jade white celadon is the bottom is also like white jade." ”

Obviously, this poison is hidden by the people of the royal family.

Shen Hong looked at the five princes: "Five kings, do you know what this is?" ”

The five princes looked at Shen Hong's gaze, and with a few words, he drew everyone's eyes together, and the five princes breathed for a while, only feeling that Shen Hong was really terrifying, and if he ascended the throne, Shen Hong would definitely not be able to stay.

"Bold Shen Hong, are you going to doubt me by saying this?"

Shen Hong put down the bottle, handed it back to the imperial doctor on the side, and watched the five kings walk over step by step: "Your Majesty has passed away, and the five kings have benefited the most. We are still His Majesty's courtiers! How can those who poison His Majesty go unpunished! We, our courtiers, must let this man be punished! ”

Chapter 211

As soon as Shen Hong's words came out, everyone's eyes were focused on the five princes.

Lin Piao stood in the crowd, and none of Shen Hong's words refuted him, looking at the expressions on the faces of the five princes that had changed several times, he could also see that the five princes were shocked by Shen Hong's aspirations.

If today's peace and reopening the prosperous world, everyone is extremely fond of Chu Yu, although the grand occasion of the world is brought down by the courtiers, but the credit is recorded on the emperor's head, and it seems that the emperor is a rare good emperor through the ages.

Shen Hong's words were not at fault in terms of morality or rules, and even for the courtiers, they knew very well what the five kings were, and it was better to let him be the new emperor and be manipulated by him, it would be better to assist and support a little emperor, His Majesty has two children, and there are many teachers to raise him, maybe he can produce a virtuous emperor in a few years, and there is hope for the future of Daning, and there is hope for their future.

The five kings stood in the eyes of everyone and sneered: "Nonsense, you are going to condemn this king with this bottle?" I don't know if it's something that the thief wants to blame the king, so he left it behind! ”

The five kings looked around at the crowd, and their hearts were stirred, now he was the person who deserved to inherit the throne the most, as long as these old things could not come up with the things that overthrew him, he would be the new emperor of the certainty, and see who dared to oppose him.

What's more, even if they really found the evidence, he still has a way to go, and now he just takes care of the overall situation, so as not to make things bigger, and then solve the matter after he ascends the throne.

Shen Hong said coldly: "Take down all the people around the five kings, and this time all the people who went to the banquet will be counted and sent to Dali Temple for interrogation separately." ”

The five kings pointed at him: "You dare! ”

"Why wouldn't I dare?"

Shen Hong turned around and looked at the important ministers: "The identity of the five kings is precious, and they are still nobles before it is confirmed, but Your Majesty's affairs cannot be rash, what about interrogating a few slaves and maids." ”

The ministers below nodded in a deep voice: "What Lord Shen said is extremely true. ”

"This matter must be carefully investigated, and those who are unethical must not be allowed to ascend to the throne of God, otherwise it will be a disaster for the country!"

The Five Kings sneered: "It's against the norm. ”

The second brother killed his father, and I don't know if they really don't know about this matter or if they are pretending to be stupid, and the person sitting on the throne of the emperor is not a person who is not unusual.

Dali Siqing stood up: "Don't disperse easily tonight, otherwise it will be difficult to gather a lot of evidence." He looked at Shen Hong, who nodded.

Shen Hong said: "Then tonight, press people to the palace and interrogate them separately, don't move around here, Dali Siqing and the criminal department are here, please sort out when everyone in this matter did what they did, and record it, including me." ”

This time, Dali Siqing and Shaoqing were there, and Shangshu and the left and right attendants of the Criminal Department were also there, and they went overnight to call the subordinates who could not attend the banquet to come and separate everyone from each other.

The palace maids and maids were also not allowed to move around at will, and the people who took the paper and pen were all taken by the right attendant of the criminal department, and a thick pile of paper was held in his arms, and then there was an inkstone, two spindles and a brush, and there was no place to get water after being placed on the table, so he took the tea and poured it on the inkstone, and hurriedly grinded it, and the paper was distributed, and the ink was ground and added, and was added and grinded, without stopping for a moment.

Lin Piao looked at them like this, and his heart suddenly rose, he and Shen Hong had met Chu Yu today, and Shen Hong was not without suspicious moves, the emperor went to his side, and Shen Hong also rushed over, what was the reason for rushing over? Is it just to see him?

Lin Piao's head turned quickly, looking at Shen Hong in the crowd, his eyes widened slightly, hoping that he could read the meaning in his eyes.

Don't say that you have seen Chu Yu.

So he said that he would just go to him.

Lin Piao didn't know if Shen Hong understood it, he was afraid that he would lie, but Shen Hong had other plans, if there was a discrepancy between the two, anyone could see that there was a problem.

Lin Piao suddenly remembered what Shen Hong said to Chu Yu.

I would like to ask Your Majesty for your forgiveness for today's matter.

Now that I think about it, the murderous intent has been revealed.

Is it the poison of the five kings, or the means of Shen Hong's envoy?

Lin Piao thought about it for a while, and knew that it was impossible for Shen Hong to use such a simple means, he had always killed people invisibly, and he was good at using the smallest pry point to shake big things, so this matter had absolutely nothing to do with him subjectively.

Just to clean up what they've seen tonight.

Lin Piao's eyes fell on Shen Hong several times, hoping that the two could communicate without barriers, Shen Hong stood in the crowd, turned his head to meet his gaze, smiled faintly, and soothed a little.

Lin Piao's heart calmed down, and although Shen Hong didn't say anything, he knew that he could lie.

When the person from the criminal department with a pen and paper came here, Lin Piao told him about his own events today in an orderly manner.

Hiding the part where the emperor went to him, and naturally also hiding the part where Shen Hong and the emperor bumped into him, as a courtier, it was not his fault to lie in order to save the emperor's face.

"I was a little drunk, I wanted to find a place to rest, the queen asked the maid to take me to the room, Shen Hong knew that I was not good at drinking, I left the table halfway to visit me, saw that he was not feeling well, he wanted to send me back, and then returned to the palace banquet, we walked all the way out, halfway to meet the father-in-law who came to report, he followed the news all the way, asked Shen Hong to return to the palace banquet to preside over the overall situation, I heard the bad news I was uneasy, so I came with him, I wanted to see if there was anything that could help."

When Zuo Shilang of the Criminal Department heard him say this, he looked up at him several times halfway, and said in his heart that Shen Hong and his sister-in-law were ambiguous, and it was really true, if it wasn't for the extreme intimacy, how could he get drunk and have to go to see it in person and send it in person.

But it's good to know these words in my heart, now Shen Hong can be called a powerful and opposition, and his reputation is excellent, just like the birth of a saint, there is something unclear with his own sister-in-law, this sister-in-law is not an ordinary brother, with a little beauty and enchantment, it is convincing, and now Lin Piao is a grandmaster-level figure, and his weight and prestige are not ordinary people are qualified to put their beaks.

The left attendant of the Criminal Department nodded: "Madame's words can be corroborated by the maids beside the queen, and corroborated by the testimony of Lord Shen. ”

Lin Piao nodded: "Your Majesty has been wise all his life, but now he has been subjected to such a vicious plot, it is really terrifying, and I ask your Excellency to find out the truth." ”

Zuo Shilang of the Criminal Department looked serious and nodded: "Naturally." Without wasting much time, he changed a piece of paper and put it on the surface and continued to interrogate the next person.

When he interrogated the child that Lin Piao had just noticed, he heard Zuo Shilang snort coldly: "What the hell is going on!" Make it clear! ”

Lin Piao looked over and saw that the two maids beside the child were crying.

Lin Piao pulled a handful of the courtiers beside him, and the courtiers were pulled by his sleeves and hurriedly dragged back, only to feel that the two of them were too arrogant, and heard Lin Piao ask: "Is that the Seventh Prince?" ”

"Of course."

Lin Piao nodded, he knew that there was such a person, but he had never seen it, and this was the first time he had met him.

"The Seventh Prince is young and frail, and he rarely participates in palace banquets, but now he is a little older and in better health, and His Majesty is grateful for the loss of his father at a young age, and asked him to come out for a gathering and recognize people."

Lin Piao looked at the child, who looked like he was only six or seven years old, and when he heard the interrogator's words, it seemed that the child was lying, so he got closer, and then he heard clearly, it turned out that the two maids beside the child had given their testimony first, and the result was somewhat inconsistent with what the Seventh Prince said, for example, they went out halfway and said that because the Seventh Prince could not drink wine and the tea was drunk, they went out to get some juice for the Seventh Prince.

But the Seven Princes said that they had misremembered and that they were taking tea.

Looking at the remaining water in the cup, it was indeed tea, and this matter was naturally to blame the two maids, the seventh prince seemed to be a little flustered in his eyes, but his expression was very calm, and it seemed that he was lying for the two maids.

When they were asked, the two maids also panicked and hurriedly changed their words and said that they were taking tea, but how could the people of the criminal department let them fool at will?

Because they had been to the kitchen, they were questioned more quickly, and the two of them vigorously said that they had not gone in, but were just waiting outside, and after getting their things, they went outside to eat.

Because it is a big feast, the maid goes to ask for things at will, as long as she reports the name of the master, there is no reason not to ask for it.

Because they confessed to the incident and were waiting outside, they were arrested and interrogated as key figures, hoping that they would recall what suspicious people had passed by when they fell to the ground nearby.

During this interrogation from the beginning of the night until late at night, it was already the middle of the moon outside the palace, and everyone's faces became very tired, but no one dared to slack off.

The five kings have the most stable mentality, they are the first to be asked, and then they are bored, so they simply lie on the table and fall asleep, and they are sleeping sweetly at the moment.

The sixth prince was a little older, now thirteen years old, and when he heard the news of the death of his second imperial brother, he had been crying, but now he was almost crying, and he sat behind the table in a daze, looking sleepy and tired and unable to refresh.
