"So, Miss Xu San has never left Daguangming Temple from beginning to end?"
The minister of Dali Temple reported: "Eunuch Zhang sent word that Concubine Xian's maid has been guarding the door. The princess came about two-quarters of an hour later. Miss Xu San was not seen during these two-quarters of an hour."
King Duan thought: "Two quarters of an hour is enough time if you really want to say something, but..."
After all, it is difficult to avoid all eyes and ears and enter and leave Daguangming Temple without anyone noticing.
Does the Xu family really have this energy? What good will it do to the Xu family to kill Yu Chong and frame him?
Seeing the doubts in Prince Duan's heart, the minister of Dali Temple said: "Your Majesty, I have an idea."
"you say."
"I often judge cases based on motives. Whoever benefits the most is often the murderer. Yu Chong died and the prince was imprisoned. There are two parties who benefited the most from this matter. One is the prince, who does not want this family.
The marriage is hampered by Yu Chong, and the prince and him..."
King Duan nodded. He had suspected before that it might be the prince who was instigating a fight between him and Yu Chong, but the boy looked stupid in front of him and couldn't tell at all.
"anything else?"
"Of course it's Duke Zhao." said the Dali Temple minister, "Yu Chong just filed a lawsuit against Duke Zhao. As a result, not only did he not receive a commendation for his great achievements in the war, he was almost accused. Now that Yu Chong is dead, Duke Zhao
If you want to get your son back, it will be much easier."
King Duan understood: "You mean they colluded?"
"Yes." Seeing that his mind was clear, the minister of Dali Temple was very pleased, "Killing Yu Chong will be beneficial to Duke Zhao, and harming you is the prince's wish. The two of them will definitely hit it off."
King Duan thought about it carefully and couldn't help but clapped his hands: "You are right! It doesn't matter whether Miss Xu San did it or not. Even if she was really involved, she was just a pawn. The real mastermind must be Yan
Erhe Prince!"
"Exactly." The Dali Temple Minister smiled, "Maybe Miss Xu San came out, maybe someone else pretended to lure Xue Ru into the bait, it doesn't matter. The Xu family does not have enough power, what we really want to deal with is the mastermind behind the scenes."
King Duan thought about it carefully, and then felt embarrassed: "If it is really the prince, wouldn't it be impossible for me to stand up?"
"otherwise."
"how to say?"
The minister of Dali Temple smiled and said: "Eunuch Zhang said that your Majesty doesn't know."
King Duan was stunned.
The prince wants to deal with him, but the emperor doesn't know? What does this mean? The father and son are separated? But the emperor has devoted himself to paving the way for the prince in the past few years, and there is no reason!
The Minister of Dali Temple had a profound meaning: "His Majesty often lamented in the past few years that the prince was not taught."
Prince Duan suddenly realized that the emperor naturally loved his eldest son the most, but he had been surrounded by favored concubines over the years. Concubine Shu and Concubine De had often acted like monsters before. The prince suffered a lot for this, and he had little trust in his father.
One drop is wasted.
He was planning this secretly, maybe he had wanted to replace him a long time ago?
Once you figure out who the enemy is, it will be easier to deal with. King Duan said: "Then let the prince be taught and taught!"
The Minister of Dali Temple bowed and accepted the order: "Yes."
…
First, Yu Chong was assassinated, and then King Duan was revealed to have treasonous intentions, causing commotion in the court again.
Some people think that there is insufficient evidence, and it is simply a false accusation. There are not many brothers left, so we must not hurt any more siblings to prove the truth. Others think that the confessions of Yu's family members are enough to convict King Duan - the murder of his father. Is it possible?
Will the Yu family still lie?
The emperor was noisy and noisy all day long, which gave the emperor a headache and made him no longer want to go to court.
Seeing the memorial brought by Zhang Huaide, he hurriedly waved his hand: "Let's put it there first, I don't want to see it."
Zhang Huaide understood clearly, put down the memorial, walked over quietly, and pressed the emperor's forehead.
The emperor breathed out a comfortable breath and complained: "It's just noisy and noisy every day. I really don't know what the use of the court is in raising them."
Zhang Huaide smiled and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry. I have read poetry and books. It's just that I'm in a different position and what I see is different. It will be fine when they understand the quarrel."
The emperor nodded, took a sip of the tea he handed him, and said, "I want to relax. Concubine Li's place is too noisy, and Concubine An is too quiet. Where else can I go?"
"It's hard to talk about this slave." Zhang Huaide said with a smile, "If your Majesty doesn't want to go to the empresses of each palace, why not go and see the new mistress?"
The emperor thought the same thing. Concubine Shu was deposed and concubine De was grounded. He suddenly felt that it was deserted and it was time to seal some new beauties.
"Okay, let's go to Wanzi Garden." That's where the beauties who have just entered the palace live. Who knows how many of them may suit your liking?
The emperor got up happily and pressed his chest while lifting the chariot. He felt a throbbing pain.
"Your Majesty?" Zhang Huaide asked with concern.
"It's okay." The emperor quickly came to his senses and waved his hand. Sure enough, he shouldn't have gone to court. They were so noisy that his heart ached.
…
It was still dark, and in the small courtyard where the pails were placed, several lowly eunuchs and palace servants were busy scrubbing.
This is the most filthy place in the palace. After pouring the night incense in each palace, the royal buckets are sent here to be cleaned.
The eunuchs who work here are all the eunuchs who have made mistakes, and they are worse than those from the Huanyi Bureau.
The eunuch in charge pinched his nose and stared at these people sharply.
——Even if you are a steward, being sent here is a symbol of falling out of favor. There must be an outlet for all the resentment. These eunuchs who have made mistakes are the best vents for venting their anger.
When he saw a eunuch clumsily knocking down Gong Tong, he was so angry that he immediately kicked him.
The eunuch was kicked over by him and knocked down the Gong bucket in front of him. He bumped one by one and quickly poured a large piece of it, splashing dirt all over the floor. The others avoided him out of fear and hurriedly moved away, looking at him with reproachful eyes.
That eunuch.
The eunuch raised his head and saw that he was of a certain age, but his face was fair and his face was gentle. He seemed to have always been pampered, and he didn't know what mistake he made to be sent here.
"What are you looking at?" the steward said angrily, "It's like this, why don't you pick it up quickly? If you don't finish these things today, you won't have to eat!"
The eunuch quickly looked away and replied with a complacent smile: "Yes. It was all a small mistake. I will definitely clean it up today."
The other party's humility made the steward feel a lot better, so he ended the matter: "Humph! It's good to know."
When he entered the room, the eunuch started working again. He struggled to lift the buckets one by one. He didn't have time to clean them when they were stained with dirt, so he just brushed them over one by one.
By the time all the brushes were finished, it was long past breakfast time, so he rushed to the dining hall with a glimmer of hope.
As expected, it was empty again.
When he came back hungry, when he passed the museum, he was blocked by someone.
The man looked at him with surprise and compassion in his eyes.
