Gu Fenglin and Mu Yunhan moved directly to Zhuangzi to recuperate and farm, and the matters in Beijing were completely out of the question.
If someone comes to visit, if it is something within the scope of the priest's responsibilities, he will take care of it if he is in a good mood and in good health.
The rest of the people and things are completely missing, and they have nothing to do with him whether they are fighting or making peace.
It stands to reason that without his intervention, the situation in Beijing should be more stable, but this is not the case.
Beijing fell into a new round of panic. Three more ministers were accidentally killed or injured due to various inexplicable reasons. One of them was Empress Zou's second brother.
He died miserably. He slipped and fell from the second floor of the library at home, broke his neck, and died with his eyes open.
Everyone who has seen the scene thinks this is wrong. After all, the second floor is not very high. Most of the people who fall to the first floor will just break their bones. He died so tragically, it seems like murder.
Empress Zou had the deepest relationship with her brother. She fell ill the night she learned the bad news and had a high fever. She kept talking nonsense and saying that she was wrong, and she regretted it so much.
The imperial doctor's diagnosis and treatment were ineffective. He had a high fever that would not subside until he had convulsions. He was on the verge of death. Occasionally he regained consciousness and said he wanted to see the emperor.
After all, they were married and the emperor went to see her. She covered her face with a quilt and refused to let the emperor see her face. She cried and begged the emperor to forgive her sins and treat the eldest son well in the future. At the same time, she did not ask for any sympathy or anything for the Zou family.
The emperor asked her why she refused to let him see her face.
She replied that she was too ill and looked haggard, and she was afraid that he would be disgusted by seeing her. She just wanted him to remember her original appearance and how good she was.
Even though a person was about to die, his words were kind. The emperor did not bother her and allowed her to talk to him with her face covered.
When she said she was tired, drowsy and had a fever again and lost consciousness, he did not leave. Instead, he stayed in the palace and sent people to investigate these murder cases.
He spoke harshly and put a lot of pressure on the relevant court officials, but to no avail.
Just like Lu Weijin and the three ministers who were assassinated on New Year's Eve, they died and nothing was found.
Jing Zhaoyin was replaced twice within seven days, and the Minister of Punishment and the Minister of Dali Temple were scolded every day. The emperor ordered them to solve the case before March, otherwise they would be dismissed.
These people were as anxious as ants on a hot pot. There were many clues that showed that this matter was closely related to Gu Fenglin, but there was no strong evidence.
If you are an ordinary person, no matter what, you will be arrested first and tortured severely. Regardless of whether you are guilty or not, it is enough to forcibly draw a bond while you are unconscious. It is you who is you.
But this was a priest, and he was Gu Fenglin, so they didn't dare to do that.
Previously, the emperor locked people in the palace for so many days, but in the end did nothing. Quanxu Quanwei released the people.
What can ordinary people like them do?
The temptation of power is endless, and someone has come up with a way.
There is no human evidence to create human evidence, no physical evidence to create physical evidence. As long as His Majesty the Emperor supports them, there is nothing they cannot do.
However, Zhao Xing was cautious. He had already tested Gu Fenglin's depth before.
The Lanjing Fu was still fresh in his memory. It was obvious that after Meng Xiang's incident, the person who had the greatest influence on the Imperial College became Gu Fenglin.
Nowadays, the situation is turbulent, and he doesn't want to make too much noise.
So he scolded the person who came up with the idea, but did not punish him.
