Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 511: Stable as Mount Tai
Shuntian Mansion, imperial edict.

The expression on Sehazhi's face was hard to describe, because the thing he was carrying now was the thing he least wanted to face.

First, the Empress Dowager was assassinated, but she was not injured. All the assassins who entered the Yangxin Hall that night were killed.

Originally, everyone thought that this matter would be over just like that. All they had to do was wait for the results of Jin Yiwei's interrogation, and then go straight to Huanglong and kill the mastermind behind it.

However, things went wrong later. All the assassins bitten the poison sacs in their back molars while being escorted, and died instantly.

This is okay, just be more careful in the future. After all, although assassinations are not common, they are definitely not rare.

But no one expected that the second wave of offensive by the mastermind behind the scenes would come so quickly, and it would not be a conventional assassination, but a poisoning.

This is serious, because it shows that all the eight Ming bureaus have been infiltrated. Except for the Shangshi bureau that was poisoned, no one knows if there are other places that have been infiltrated.

In the end, the task of interrogating these poisoners naturally fell on the head of the Jinyiwei commander Sehazhi.

However, looking at the interrogation results in front of him, Sehazhi didn't know what to do for a moment.

The one who ordered the Shangshi Bureau to poison the Empress Dowager was actually the emperor’s mother, the Empress Dowager of the Ming Dynasty?

Let’s not talk about whether this confession is true or false. If you throw it out, who would dare to believe it?
You have to dare to believe it, otherwise everyone will have to stay away from you for fear of being implicated.

However, now that such a confession was placed in front of Sehazhi, he had to believe it because he had no way to continue the trial. If he continued the trial, he would probably arrest the maids of the Shangshi Bureau. They all died.

But here comes the question, what should we do with this confession?
Just hand it over like this?That's definitely not possible.

When working for officials, you have to be tactful. Sometimes the facts may not be the facts. Officials only want to see what they want to see, not the facts.

The emperor's line is now facing this situation. If this confession is handed over, even if the entire emperor's line collapses, he, the commander of the Imperial Guard, will be the first to be pulled out for surgery.

Then conceal it or report it?Or just bring in a scapegoat?Not very good either.

From the bottom of his heart, Sehazhi is unwilling to believe the result of the interrogation in his hand, but for now, he has not obtained any confession that is different from this result.

This means that no matter whether this confession is true or false, it is the most credible one at present, because there is only such a confession from beginning to end.

And, most importantly, this confession points directly to the Empress Dowager of the Ming Dynasty.

It's okay if it's fake, but if it turns out to be true, if he, the commander of the Royal Guards, conceals the truth or drags someone in as a scapegoat, it will be equivalent to giving the Queen Mother a chance to take action again.

You know, if the Empress Dowager really has this idea, the chance of success is much higher than that of ordinary assassins.

Didn't you see that this poisoning was silent?If it hadn't been for the fact that the Empress Dowager had taken on too many political affairs in the past two years, which caused her health to suffer from some problems in advance, which led to the poisoning plan being exposed in advance, the Empress Dowager's poisoning plan would have been successful.

If this was concealed or not reported or a scapegoat was randomly caught and sent up, and the Empress Dowager died in the end, then Sai Hazhi would not be pulled out as a scapegoat, but would directly enter the game of Nine Clans Xiaoxiaole.

So, what should he do?
Sehazhi was confused for a moment.

With that confession, Sehazhi left the prison. He had to think carefully about how to deal with this matter, and it had to be fast, because there was not much time left for him.

Just when Sai Hazhi was worried, Xiangzhou Mansion was filled with joy.

Compared with the surging Shuntian Mansion, this Xiangzhou Mansion is like paradise on earth. People are immersed in today's special day, because today is the wedding day of Zhu Zhanqi, the second son of Zhu Gaoxu, King Wu of the Ming Dynasty.

Behind the man is the powerful lineage of the King of Wu, who controls the entire Ming Dynasty, while the woman is the lineage of the King of Qianning, who has always been the most important lineage of the King of Wu.

Nowadays, everyone knows what kind of changes will be brought about by the marriage between these two forces.

However, the Ming Dynasty was not a fair era.

During the Yongle period, Zhu Zhanji, the emperor's eldest grandson and grandson of the emperor, got married. The whole capital fell into a carnival, and Emperor Taizong even issued a general amnesty for the whole country.

In addition, as the crown prince, Zhu Zhanji's wedding was also very grand and the etiquette was quite complicated, which was the most complicated in the world.

In contrast, Zhu Zhanhe, as the eldest son of Zhu Gaoxu, has much poorer wedding regulations. Not only can he only go to the Ancestral Temple to offer incense on the second day of the wedding, but he can also not go to the Sheji Altar like Zhu Zhanji did when he got married. Sacrifice to heaven and earth.

Compared with Zhu Zhanhe, the eldest son of King Wu, the wedding of Zhu Zhanqi, the concubine, was even simpler.

Apart from the difference in status and the greater fanfare of the wedding, Zhu Zhanqi's wedding was actually no different from that of ordinary people. The only difference may be that the Ministry of Rites was involved and he had to go to the imperial mausoleum to offer sacrifices.

However, since we are currently in Xiangzhou Prefecture, the matter of entering the imperial mausoleum to offer sacrifices will naturally have to wait until later.

Different from the previous experience as the protagonist, this time Zhu Zhanhe, as Zhu Zhanqi's brother, was also the object of everyone's fawning. He just sat in his seat while watching his younger brother cross the most important stage in his life. , while dealing with the officials who came to curry favor with him.

"It's almost time. You can go back first with the child in your arms."

Seeing the end of his brother's gift, Zhu Zhanhe turned his head and spoke to his wife first.

It's not that Hu Shanshu is not good at such occasions, it's just because she is not needed to socialize today.

Although the Ming Dynasty also had so-called ladies' socializing, it was Zhu Zhanhe's mother, Princess Wu, who was in charge of these now. It was not Hu Shanshu's turn yet. At most, Princess Wu took Hu Shanshu, who was the crown prince of Wu.

But today Hu Shanshu still has the child, so Zhu Zhanhe will naturally not let her have to deal with those who want to curry favor.

After all, it was Zhu Zhanhe's idea to bring Zhu Qiming to the banquet, because only if his father, himself and his son were present, could he express to others how much he valued his younger brother, so that these people would restrain themselves in the future.

"Then I will leave first." Hu Shanshu looked around, then in the direction of Princess Wu, and finally turned back and nodded to Zhu Zhanhe.

Zhu Qiming is not very adaptable to the climate here, and today's occasion is a bit too noisy. For a child less than one year old, this kind of occasion is not friendly. Zhu Qiming has been crying for a while.

"His Royal Highness."

As soon as Hu Shanshu walked away, Zhu Ling saw a guard hurriedly running towards the door.

It didn't take long for Zhu Ling to get the message conveyed by the guard and send it to Zhu Zhanhe's ears.

"I know." Zhu Zhanhe remained calm, as if he didn't hear anything, and walked towards his brother with the wine glass in hand.

For Zhu Zhanhe, everything is still under control, and although things sound incredible, they are developing in the direction he has never thought of before, but which he most hopes for.

Therefore, he was not anxious at all.
