Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 250 The Emperor Investigates the Cause of Shunde's Death
Several old elders, ministers, and the servants Luo Tong and He Wenyuan who were in charge of the affairs of the Ministry waited for two full hours in the West Flower Hall. It was not until near noon that Zhu Qiyu walked in with a tired face.

Everyone was about to kneel down, Zhu Qiyu waved his hands directly: "There is no need to salute, and there is no need to comfort me, just sit down and talk about business."

When the ministers heard the words, they had to sit down one by one.

Zhu Qiyu used to lie on the soft couch, but now he is sitting upright with a stern look on his face, which is extremely rare.Then, without discussing with the ministers, he directly issued an edict:
"The first thing is to posthumously posthumously King Zhu Jianji as King Yiai, and posthumously confer the titles of the two princesses as princesses, and to be buried in the east of Panshan Mountain together with the princess of the King and Dowager Hang.

The former Wang Taifei, Wang Shi, abolished the position of Wang Taifei for the crime of harming the prince.The Wang family was full of families, dismissed from office, ransacked their homes, and exiled for three thousand miles.

My family and I fasted for three days to mourn the concubine of the king, the king of mourning and the two princesses.

The rest of the people don't have to mourn, just celebrate the New Year normally. "

When Chen Xun heard this, he was about to stand up and ask questions.Wang Wen hurriedly took the lead, and then firmly dissuaded Chen Xun with his eyes.

Chen Xun looked around again, seeing that no one else had any intention of making a sound, so he had no choice but to sit back.

The reason why everyone is silent is also very simple: Although everyone knows that the whole incident may have other secrets, it is not as simple as it appears on the surface.But so what, the Wang family is not down, so what's the matter with the ministers.

In the eyes of everyone, instigating the palace people to poison King Tan is more like the handwriting of Queen Mother Sun. It is unlikely that Mrs. Wang is stupid enough to use such a method that can easily cause fire.

Of course, it is also possible that the Wang family did it very secretly and it was difficult to verify, but the emperor firmly characterized it as poisoning.

It is also possible that Wang's cronies thought they were clever and poisoned King Tan without authorization.

But no matter what the possibility is, it is true that the Wang family is Princess Yi personally selected by the Empress Dowager Sun, and the relationship between the two is extremely close.

It is also true that Empress Dowager Sun has been planting eyeliners and cultivating confidantes in the Prince Tan's Mansion from the beginning to the end.

It is also true that Wang turned a blind eye to Queen Mother Sun's infiltration of Prince Tan's mansion, and even monitored every move of Prince Tan's mansion for Queen Mother Sun.

As a woman and a wife, she does not turn to her husband, but joins forces with outsiders to cheat her husband.The ministers feel that there is really no need to stand up for this kind of person.

Empress Hu is the serious mistress of Daming, and none of the ministers has appealed for Empress Hu.Nowadays, a mere prince and concubine who eats inside and out is not worth letting a top civil servant take the future to fight for.

After all, even a fool can see that the current emperor is on the verge of breaking out.Going to touch the emperor's Ni Lin now is purely courting death.

Whatever the emperor said was fine, there was no point in arguing with the emperor for things that had nothing to do with everyone's interests.

Seeing that no one objected, Zhu Qiyu issued a second edict: "Yu Qian, Minister of the Ministry of War, was re-elected as Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing; Luo Tong, the left servant of the Ministry of War, was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of War, and also a scholar of Dongge University, and joined the cabinet to participate in the maintenance; Jiang Yuan was promoted to the left servant of the Ministry of War.

He Wenyuan stepped down as Minister of the Ministry of Rites and Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Officials, and changed to Minister of the Ministry of Officials. He was promoted from a Bachelor of Hanlin to a Bachelor of Dongge University.

Wang Wensheng was promoted to a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion.

In the future, the cabinet and the six ministers will be stabilized. I hope that all my lovers will work hard in the future and don't let me down. "

The three people who were pointed out quickly knelt down and thanked each other.

This time Zhu Qiyu was too lazy to take into account the face of some important ministers, and directly collected all the six ministers in Beijing.

Anyway, I have already torn my face, so I simply stopped pretending. Now, the cabinet ministers and six ministers in Beijing have all been replaced by their own people.

Next, Zhu Qiyu announced the third edict, which was also the last edict: "Prince Yi's mansion involves the palace servants who poisoned King Ai, and I will immediately order Jin Yiwei to hand over to the Ministry of Punishment.

Wang Aiqing is in charge of organizing the joint trial of the three divisions. It will take only one day and the case will be concluded tomorrow morning.All the people involved in the palace were dragged to Caishikou Lingchi at noon. "

Wang Wen took the order without hesitation.

Zhu Qiyu sent everyone away, and called Jin Yiwei Menda, Lu Gao and others.

Before entering, Menda and others accepted Lu Gao's persuasion and unanimously decided not to plead guilty to the emperor after entering.

Last night, Jin Yiwei was in charge of taking care of Wang's family. Now that something like this happened, it stands to reason that Jin Yiwei cannot escape the responsibility.But Lu Gao is a very thoughtful and ambitious person.

The so-called seeking wealth and danger, there are some people in Jinyiwei who are willing to gamble with their heads, and Lu Gao is one of them.

In fact, it was Lu Gao and his cronies who were on duty last night, and Menda, as a powerful household, handed over the errand to Lu Gao and went home by himself.

As for what exactly happened in the backyard of Prince Tan's Mansion, and what Lu Gao did, only Lu Gao and his cronies and subordinates knew.

Sure enough, Zhu Qiyu didn't pay attention to what happened last night, didn't gossip, and directly started to explain the task: "The first thing is to immediately hand over the palace personnel involved in the palace and their statements to the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

The second thing is that I received a secret report that someone in the imperial hospital colluded with the Wang family and wanted to control the death of King Tan on the day of the Zhengdan Dynasty, so as to damage my prestige and affect the normal progress of the country's major affairs.

You go to torture and interrogate everyone in Tai Hospital to find out who is in collusion.

The third thing is to investigate the death of Princess Shunde.I want to know how the captain consort Shi Jing colluded with the imperial physician and killed Princess Shunde.

In the killing of Princess Shunde, what role the Sun family of Huichang Hou Mansion played in it, I have to investigate clearly.

In addition, Menda was promoted to Jinyiwei to command the affairs, and Lu Gao was promoted to Jinyiwei to thousands of households.The meritorious persons under your command who participated in the trial are promoted to a higher level, make a list, and report it to Marquis Wu Ding.

For the two cases I just explained, I will give you one day in total. Before the sun goes down tomorrow, I want to know the result.

I give you the right to act cheaply, let me go and investigate, and I will bear all the consequences. "

Menda and Lu Gao quickly thanked En to accept the order, and went to work without stopping.

After explaining the matter, Zhu Qiyu got up and went back to the room.

As soon as they arrived at the door, they saw several concubines busy taking off the red lanterns that had been hung up and replacing them with plain lanterns.

The couplets that had already been posted were also uncovered.

Seeing that there is no festive atmosphere in the mansion anymore.

Zhu Qiyu sighed heavily, and walked slowly into the inner room.

The favorite concubines knew that the emperor was in a heavy heart, so they served him even more attentively.

As soon as Zhu Qiyu sat down on the soft couch, Lin Xiangyu personally handed over herbal tea.

After taking it and took a long drink, Zhu Qiyu immediately ordered: "In the past few days, none of you sisters should go out, don't see anyone, and don't say anything.

At this juncture, avoid suspicion, and don't let others take advantage of it. "

Lin Xiangyu nodded, and then asked softly: "Will you send someone to take care of Prince Yi's mansion?"

Zhu Qiyu smiled wryly and said: "What are you looking after, the master of the palace has been wiped out, and all the servants have been executed. The subordinate officials and guards have all been assigned to the army.

And those palace people who poisoned them will be delayed at noon tomorrow when the interrogation of the three jurisprudence is over.

There is no one in the entire Prince Yi's mansion, and the Fan Fan is about to disappear completely. "
