"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please forgive me. I had been serving the Emperor last night. The Emperor was in a good mood and asked the people of the Jiaofang Department to sing songs while the Emperor drank. At the second watch, the servants reminded the Emperor
It’s time to return to the palace. The Emperor
The emperor said that he wanted to stay for a while and think about things. Last night, the servant only prepared a bottle of wine, but he didn't want the emperor to drink too much and hurt his health. The emperor drank all the wine and asked the slave to get more wine, but the slave couldn't persuade him.
, so I had to take a boat ashore to get it."
"... As soon as I stepped ashore outside the Xihua Gate, I heard shouting. When I looked back, I saw the guard on duty on the shore pointing to the center of the lake and shouting. Only then did I see the emperor's ship going down.
Shen. Servant... Servant was scared to death. He hurried back to save her.
The slave didn’t know how to swim, so he could only ask the guards to call for help. Before the slave could reach the middle of the lake, the ship sank. The slave went into the water to look for it, and almost drowned.
When I come up, my servant has already accompanied the emperor."
"...Later, the people from the palace arrived and went into the water to look for it. Only then did they find the emperor. Wuwuwu. I deserve to die. I am incompetent. If I don't leave the ship, I will risk my life to save the emperor.
Come out. I regret that I should have left the Emperor. I wish I could have gone with the Emperor. I ask the Queen Mother and Your Majesty to punish me. I have neglected my duty and I don’t want to live anymore. I’ll just beat this slave to death. Wuwuwu.”
"...Everything the slave said is true. There were Chen Baihu, Zhao Zongqi and others from the Han general camp on the shore at that time. They can testify for the slave. They also rushed to rescue people as soon as possible. It was just that it was too dark.
, the lake is too deep, and the emperor cannot be rescued. If I tell a lie, I am willing to be punished by five thunders and die without a burial place."
Wang An cried and lamented and talked a lot. Everyone listened to the general idea. It was just that the emperor was greedy for listening to music and drinking, and refused to return to the palace. He asked Wang An to go ashore to get the wine. But at this time, the ship did not know what happened.
It broke, leaked and sank. So Wang An was able to survive. Everyone on the big ship drowned. If Wang An stayed on the ship, he might not be able to save the emperor.
The Taiye Lake in Xiyuan is very deep and wide. If you fall into the water in the middle of the lake, you will definitely die if you don't know how to swim. It can only be said that the emperor is too careless and willful.
After Yang Tinghe listened to Wang An's story, he said in a deep voice: "This is your own words, and I cannot accept them. Your Majesty, Queen Mother, empress, my suggestion is that the relevant people should be summoned separately to inquire about the confessions, and then they can corroborate each other.
Acceptance of the letter. All the internal officials and maids in the Qianqing Palace, the guards of the Han general’s camp who accompanied the escort on that day, and the relevant witnesses of the Jiaofang Department must all ask for their confessions to check the authenticity of the confessions."
Everyone nodded. Yang Tinghe was right. Wang An's words involved many people. Whether his words are true or false requires the testimony of relevant people to be credible. This is a cautious and careful attitude. The emperor's death is of great importance.
, it is crucial to exclude possible elements of murder before it can be determined to be an accident.

"What Yang Shoufu said is that it is up to Yang Shoufu to handle this matter. Please... please be sure to find out the truth." Empress Dowager Zhang sobbed and wiped away tears.
Yang Tinghe bowed and said: "I will investigate clearly. I would like to ask Mr. Liu of the Ministry of Punishment to take charge of this matter, and the Fusi of Jinyiwei North Town to cooperate. Please give permission to the Queen Mother."
Empress Dowager Zhang said: "Just do whatever you want. The Ai family doesn't have any idea."
Xu Guangzuo said: "Shouldn't the Dali Temple in Yushitai and the Ministry of Punishment jointly conduct a joint trial? It would not be appropriate for Beizhen Fusi to participate."
Yang Tinghe said: "It's a very important matter, and Beizhen Fusi must participate. At this time, we don't care about the trial procedures. Beizhen Fusi's punishment is more effective than any inquiry. Besides, once the three courts are tried together, the city will be full of troubles and uproar."
Many conspiracy theories have made people panic. The emperor has passed away. At this moment, the first priority we have to do is to stabilize the government to prevent someone from taking the opportunity to cause chaos and mess up our Ming Dynasty. Duke Dingguo, what do you think?"
Xu Guangzuo pondered for a moment, then nodded slowly and said: "That's all, what you said makes sense. In urgent matters, follow the authority."
Everyone also nodded in agreement.
Yang Tinghe requested that the imperial physician be summoned to inquire about the cause of the emperor's death. Everyone also wanted to know what the imperial physician's final conclusion was, so Empress Dowager Zhang ordered the imperial hospital to convict Li Chongzhi and seven or eight people who participated in the rescue, diagnosis and examination of Zhu Houzhao's body and a group of people who had drowned.
All the imperial doctors who had taken care of human remains were called in.
Li Chongzhi and others knelt down and knelt down to worship, with depressed faces and panic in their hearts. At this time, they were often the ones being angered. In fact, when they arrived, they were powerless. The dozens of drowned people were already dead.
.
"Li Chongzhi, have you conducted a comprehensive examination of the Emperor's dragon body? What was the cause of the Emperor's death? Are there any other fatal wounds on the body? And are there poisoning or other signs of death? You must report it truthfully, without any trace.
Conceal it. Do you understand?" Yang Tinghe asked.
KouKou 563743675
Li Chongzhi and others kowtowed in agreement. Li Chongzhi said slowly: "The Empress Dowager, the Chief Assistant, and all your lords and ministers have completed the inspection. Your Majesty... the dragon's body is intact and there are no fatal injuries. There are some injuries on his body.
The scratches should be scratches on the ship's board when struggling after falling into the water, or caused by the grasp of other people who fell into the water. They are not fatal. Your Majesty..."
Before Li Chong finished speaking, Empress Dowager Zhang collapsed again and cried loudly: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... you suffered before your death. In that cold lake... In the lake... Wuwu
Woo..."
Everyone felt pity, the Queen Mother imagined the emperor struggling in the lake, so she couldn't hold back any longer.
"My condolences to the Queen Mother, my condolences to the Queen Mother." All the ministers bowed and said.
Empress Dowager Zhang stopped crying, wiped her tears and waved her hands, indicating to Li Chongzhi to continue speaking.
Li Chongzhi kowtowed and said: "I will check the emperor's face. His lips are blue and purple, his skin is white, and his skin is slightly swollen. This is the sign of drowning. There are mud, sand and water stains in the mouth and nose, and they gush out from time to time. Examine the throat and there is something.
Mud water entered the throat. It was further confirmed that it was drowning.
Water sign. This is because when someone enters water after death, his breathing will be closed, and the sediment will not enter the throat. For those who die from drowning, water will enter the lungs, so the sediment will be inhaled into the lungs and throat. This method is commonly used to determine whether the deceased died of drowning.
There are very few errors in the law."
The ministers nodded slowly to express their approval.
"I took the saliva and vomited matter from the emperor for examination and found that none of the thirty-two common poisons were found. The vomited matter had a strong smell of alcohol and watermelon seeds. It can be seen that the emperor drank a lot of alcohol and ate food before he fell into the water.
Fruits. Three drops of blood were taken from the ankles, arms, and waist for examination. There was no sign of poisoning. Therefore, the veteran judged that the emperor
He died of drowning, with no fatal injuries or signs of poisoning. The emperor drank alcohol before his death, but the alcohol was not fatal. This was the result of the inspection by the old ministers. During the relevant inspection process, seven imperial doctors and ministers from the Imperial Hospital worked together and mutually
Discuss and make decisions, reflect the supervision, and hide nothing. Please be clear to the Queen Mother, please be clear to the Empress. Please be clear to all your lords."
After Li Chongzhi finished speaking, everyone nodded. Some people breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. The emperor drowned and died unexpectedly, which is already very distressing. If it is further found out that someone deliberately murdered him, then the matter will be even more complicated and dangerous.
Now the imperial hospital hospital has concluded that Li Chongzhi and other imperial doctors conducted an autopsy and concluded that he died of drowning. Other circumstances have been ruled out, which at least shows that the emperor did drowned, rather than being killed and thrown into the water, or that he died of drowning.
Poisoned or something.
"Li Chongzhi, have all the bodies of the other drowned people been examined? Are there any abnormalities?" Yang Tinghe said.

"Yes, the old man was confused and forgot to report it. After all the inspections of the remaining twenty-one corpses, it was found that the corpses were all drowned and there were no other abnormalities. Regarding the results, we will issue an inspection document and the imperial doctors of the imperial hospital will
Submitted jointly." Li Chongzhi said.
Yang Tinghe nodded and said: "Okay, thank you for your hard work. You guys still have to work hard. The weather is hot and the emperor's dragon body needs to be preserved and maintained. You still need to serve beside him. In addition, arrange manpower to serve the queen mother to avoid excessive grief and accidents.
"
Li Chongzhi said hurriedly: "We shall obey orders and be on duty at any time."
Yang Tinghe nodded and said, "Okay, step back."
A group of imperial doctors kowtowed and retired.
The room was very quiet. Under the flickering candlelight, all the ministers frowned and looked sad. They didn't know what to say for a moment.
It was Yang Tinghe who broke the silence, bowed to Queen Mother Zhang and said: "Your Majesty, in view of the current situation, I would like to reiterate the following suggestions, please consider them by the Queen Mother, the Queen and all your lords."
Queen Mother Zhang nodded and said, "You say."
Yang Tinghe said: "The first is to strictly block the news and not let the news of the emperor's death spread. I will ask Jiang Bin to seal the palace and prohibit the news from spreading. The news from outside must also be blocked, and all city gates should be blocked.
Implement a curfew so as not to cause panic and give criminals an opportunity to take advantage."
Empress Dowager Zhang nodded and said: "The Ai family feels that Yang Shoufu has been thinking about it very much. The news of the emperor's death is too sudden, and there is a risk of something unexpected happening. It is better to be prepared before announcing it."

All the ministers said one after another: "The Queen Mother has learned clearly, and I will obey the decree."
Yang Tinghe said: "Second, quickly find out the truth and set the record straight, so as to avoid all kinds of suspicions and rumors, which will disturb the ears and eyes and cause various unfavorable situations."
Queen Mother Zhang nodded and said: "Yes!"
Yang Tinghe said: "Third, the Ministry of Rites will start to deal with the funeral, the emperor's coffin will be laid, and preparations for the big funeral will begin. Once the news is announced, we can act calmly to avoid chaos."
Queen Mother Zhang wiped away her tears and nodded: "Yes, we must prepare these things."
Fei Hong said in a deep voice: "I will make arrangements, and the Ministry of Etiquette will do its best to handle relevant matters."
Yang Tinghe nodded, paused and said: "Fourth...fourth...this...Although it is somewhat inappropriate for me to say this now, as the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty, I must raise it for the sake of the Ming Dynasty. Your Majesty...
...With no heirs, his sudden death caught people off guard, and the pain in my heart was unbearable. However, the Ming Dynasty cannot be without an owner for a day, and who will inherit the emperor must be carefully considered. Otherwise
Then ambitious people may be coveted and take advantage of the situation to disrupt our Ming Dynasty. The consequences will be disastrous. But I don’t know if the emperor has a previous edict mentioning this matter. If so, there is no need to say more. Just follow the edict and implement it. If
If there is no explicit statement in this regard, I am afraid that the Queen Mother will need to make a decision on this matter and choose a suitable candidate to inherit the throne. Queen Mother, my lords, what do you think?"
